FEDERAL WAY, Wash. (AP) ? Brittany Viola, in her third attempt to make the Olympics, won the women's 10-meter platform in the U.S. Olympic Trials on Sunday.
Viola dominated the competition winning by nearly 60 points ahead of second place Katie Bell, who claimed the other qualifying spot for the London games. Viola scored 86.40 on her second-round dive, an armstand back dive from the platform with 2 somersaults and 1 1/2 twists, getting all 9s from the judges. She scored 80.00 on her final dive that clinched the title.
Earlier, Chris Colwill rallied from third place to win the men's 3-meter springboard in the U.S. Olympic trials Sunday, while Troy Dumais held off Kristian Ipsen in the final round to finish second and reach his fourth Olympics in the event.

For Queen Elizabeth, a Google doodle of diamonds and doggies
In a crowning achievement, Queen Elizabeth gets a Diamond Jubilee Google doodle that honors key symbols of her reign ? and offers just a glimpse of the vast amount of jubilee kitsch on tap.
A Google doodle Saturday in the UK celebrates the Queen's diamond jubilee.
Queen Elizabeth graces the front page of Google today in the UK in a doodle marking her diamond jubilee, offering the rest of the world but a glimpse of the playful pop art and consumer kitsch on display here in Britain.

Scots guardsmen cupcake toppers, union jacks on toothpicks, ice queen scoops. Bunting: enough to string together the old empire. Royal photos on thimbles, spoons, tea cups, shot glasses, egg cups, tea towels ? the usual tat, as the Brits say. Jubilee thongs? Yes.
Then there?s the cleverness contest surrounding the WWII-era slogan, ?Keep Calm and Carry On.? Written on a women's compact: ?Keep Calm and Powder On.?
Comparatively, Google?s doodle is an understated affair. The letter O?s are diamonds, symbolic of the 60th (diamond) anniversary on the throne. The E sits as a jewel in the queen?s crown. The queen appears in two-dimensional contour; her beloved corgis, however, look ready to leap off the page.
The playful riffs on royal themes reflect the generally favorable mood toward the royals of late.
A YouGov poll last month found 67 percent agreeing the monarchy is good for Britain, and 86 percent approve of Queen Elizabeth. This is up from the days when her children's divorces dominated the headlines and her slowness to show emotion over the death of Princess Diana frustrated many.
Still, the public mood is not really one of royal reverence. Britons are in party mode at the start of a long weekend ? Monday and Tuesday being holidays as part of the four-day official jubilee celebration. Many Londoners took the chance to flee on summer vacations, as foreign and British tourists crowd into the city for events that include Sunday?s royal family flotilla on the Thames and Tuesday?s carriage procession.
Among the street art for the crowds will be the construction Sunday of a 94-sq.-ft. portrait of Queen Elizabeth made from 3,120 squares of cake ? one for each week of her reign.
German-born baker Gerhard Jenne came up with the idea. Mr. Jenne dipped each piece of lemon cake into one of 24 frosting colors, turning each into a pixel of this icing illustration.
Jenne?s a fan of the queen, but not so much so that he feels the need to become her subject even 30 years after moving to London. He doesn?t expect to meet her on Sunday, when he publicly arranges the cake squares into the portrait.
?It?s very interesting how the queen has changed. Even from 30 years ago, [the royals] are much closer to the people now,? he says. ?You almost feel like she might come see you?. There could just be a 1 in 40 million chance.?
After spending hundreds of hours on the cake, he expects it to be gobbled up within 20 minutes when it?s opened up to the crowds.
Some customers in his Konditor & Cook bakeries have asked him if it?s proper for an image of Her Highness to be eaten.
?I just said yes, it?s fine by me. At the end of the day, it?s a cake, it?s a bit of fun. And she seems like a humorous person.?
An earlier version of this story incorrectly attributed the phrase "Keep calm and carry on" to the British royal family.

How it's made: Join us on a tour of the MK802 mini PC factory (video)
Getting to grips with the Android 4.0-toting MK802 mini PC earlier this month just left us wanting more. Luckily, ARMdevices.net recently took a tour of the Shenzhen factory where it's born to bring us a hands-on straight from source. The MK802 is one of a couple of devices we've seen recently, around the size of a USB stick and pre-installed with your favorite flavor of Android. And since its release, even those who aren't keen on frozen desserts have been toying with the little droid. To see a blow-by-blow of how it all fits together, hit up the ten-minute tour after the break, but don't expect Foxconn levels of glamour.

Will black voters grouse over Obama move to aid young illegal immigrants?
Obama's move to give work permits to certain illegal immigrants may not sit well with job-hungry African-Americans. Some analysts say it could hurt him among his most faithful constituency: black voters. Others say no way. ?
President Barack Obama announces that his administration will stop deporting and begin granting work permits to younger illegal immigrants who came to the US as children and have since led law-abiding lives, on June 15, during a statement in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington.

EnlargeSome black voters may be none too happy with President Obama for shielding some 800,000 working-age illegal immigrants from deportation, seeing them as competition for scarce jobs. But black activists and political scientists quibble over just how much that decision, announced Friday, will hurt the president among African-Americans in his bid for reelection.

The calculus of the Obama campaign, clearly, was that the new policy would be a net gain: that the president would pick up many more votes in the Latino community than he would lose in the African-American community. Mr. Obama's action means that undocumented young adults who were brought to the US by their families when they were minors, and who are in good standing, can remain in the US and will qualify for two-year work permits, which are renewable.
The work permits are what may prove to be controversial in the black community, where teen unemployment is 38.2 percent, says?Washington attorney Cherylen Harley LeBon of Project 21, a national group representing conservative African-Americans. Some black voters, she suggests, may not be willing to give Obama a pass on that.
?In this economy, blacks are circling the wagons and looking at what will impact their own families,? says Ms. LeBon. Their?focus going into an election year ?is on kitchen-table issues." This is a bottom-line issue, ?with blacks asking, 'How will this affect my ability to put food on the table?' "
Presidential scholar Charles Dunn agrees. Because Latino and African-American voters have different policy objectives on immigration, the president?s ?efforts to woo the one hurt him with the other,??he says via e-mail.
Obama's relaxation of deportation rules for certain young Latinos undercuts his efforts to reenergize his most important and vital constituency: African-Americans, he adds. They ?feel threatened by the loss of jobs to Latinos.?
Obama won some 95 percent of the black vote in 2008. To win in 2012, he needs to be in that range again, and he likewise needs Latino voters to turn out for him in considerable numbers.
Many social scientists do not expect that black voters will leave Obama's fold ? or sit out the election ? simply because he extended a hand to a subset of young illegal immigrants.
"I do not believe this will be a problem for Obama in the election among blacks, since African-Americans are usually much more supportive of social justice for others, since they have been the victims so often of unfair rules and clear discrimination,? says Lori Brown, associate professor of sociology at Meredith College in Raleigh, N.C.via e-mail. ?Even though many leaders or economists can see this could have a negative impact on blacks when competing for low-wage jobs,? she says, ?this policy change is probably going to be seen as right.?

Samsung CEO plans to improve software, user experience and design
Anyone who's used a Samsung smartphone over the past few years will be aware that the company's approach to software design can be a little scattershot at times. And it seems there's an awareness of this issue at the highest levels of the company, as new Samsung CEO Kwon Oh-hyun delivered his inaugural speech.
According to reports from The Wall Street Journal?, Kwon told Samsung employees --
"A particular focus must be given to serving new customer experience and value by strengthening soft capabilities in software, user experience, design, and solutions."
As we pointed out in our review of the company's latest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S III, software design is one area in which Samsung lags behind competitors like HTC. Where HTC's Sense 4 has a clear and consistent design language, TouchWiz is more a disparate set of apps with few common design cues.
With the manufacturer putting increasing emphasis on the importance of improving software, users will be hoping for prettier, more intuitive software in future Samsung smartphones. However, given that the latest version of TouchWiz, dubbed the "TouchWiz Nature UX", has just debuted on the Galaxy S III, smartphone buyers will likely have to wait for next year's Samsung flagship before they see any tangible changes.

Homecoming no help as?Lincecum falls to 2-8
By TIM BOOTH
AP Sports Writer
Associated Press Sports
updated 1:24 a.m. ET June 17, 2012
SEATTLE (AP) - Tim Lincecum thought coming home and being in the familiar environment of where he grew up could help him stop the worst skid of his career.
So much for a happy homecoming. Instead it was just more of the same.
"Right now I'm not happy about the loss but there are silver linings here," Lincecum said. "So I'll take those but I'm still just (angry)."
Casper Wells and Jesus Montero greeted Lincecum with long first-inning home runs, Franklin Gutierrez's infield single in the sixth gave Seattle the lead for good and the Mariners snapped a six-game losing streak with a 7-4 win over the San Francisco Giants.
Lincecum (2-8) was the focal point of the evening thanks to five consecutive losing decisions and his first start in Seattle, where he was a prep star and national collegiate player of the year at Washington. It turned into another night of frustration for the two-time Cy Young Award winner, who was unable to hold a 4-2 lead and was done just one costly batter into the sixth inning.
Montero led off the sixth with a single and eventually scored the go-ahead run when Gutierrez hit a hard chopper down the third-base line that Joaquin Arias could only knock down. Brendan Ryan followed with a two-run single to center and the Giants couldn't rally against Seattle's bullpen.
Hisashi Iwakuma (1-0) pitched two innings for his first win and Tom Wilhelmsen collected his fourth save.
Lincecum gave up five runs and five hits, struck out six and walked two. The right-hander is 0-6 with a 6.44 ERA in nine starts since his last victory April 28 against San Diego.
"I know he's taking it hard," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "He was pitching his heart out. We let the game just get out of reach there in the sixth inning."
Before the game, Lincecum received a rousing welcome back. One fan stood near the bullpen while Lincecum warmed up with a sign reading "In Timmy We Believe." He was given a huge ovation from a large throng of Giants fans as he walked in from the bullpen, but immediately put himself in an early hole.
"The response from the crowd was great. But there wasn't any extra nervousness or anxiety or anything like that. I just felt like another game," Lincecum said. "I didn't know what to expect one way or the other but to get it at all was awesome."
Wells kickstarted Lincecum's rough night when he sent a 2-1 pitch into the Giants' bullpen in left with one out in the first. Kyle Seager then struck out before Montero showed off the power that made him one of the top prospects in the minors with a shot deep into the second deck of the left-field seats.
Lincecum settled down after Montero's eighth homer and his teammates started to help out. The Giants got a pair in the third on RBI singles from Ryan Theriot and Buster Posey and scored twice more in the fourth, with Theriot and Melky Cabrera collecting run-scoring hits to give the Giants a 4-2 lead.
By the time Lincecum took the mound for the fifth, he had retired 10 of 11 batters. But that run came to an abrupt end.
"He seems like he gets out of sync when he's in the stretch," Bochy said. "He wasn't in the stretch until (the fifth) inning. He gives up a ground-ball hit and a walk, similar to a lot of other games, (and) whatever can go wrong went wrong."
Dustin Ackley led off the fifth with a single for Seattle's first hit that didn't leave the park. John Jaso walked on four pitches and Ryan's sacrifice put two runners in scoring position.
Ichiro Suzuki's infield single back up the middle was good enough to get Ackley home and cut the Giants' lead to 4-3. Lincecum then bounced a breaking ball in the dirt well in front of home plate, allowing Jaso to score the tying run.
Lincecum was most angry at not knocking down Suzuki's hit, believing he could have pitched another inning if he fields the grounder.
"That was right to me. I just missed it. I should have caught it," he said.
Lincecum was replaced by Jeremy Affledt after Montero opened the sixth with a sharp single to left. Affeldt loaded the bases and Gutierrez brought home the first run when Arias could only knock down his hard shot and Ryan followed with the first of his two hits. The seven runs were the most for Seattle at home since May 5.
"It was really nice to see us score some runs here at home and put something together like we did tonight," Seattle manager Eric Wedge said.
NOTES: Kevin Millwood threw five innings in his first start since leaving Seattle's combined no-hitter with a strained groin. He was pushed back a few days in the rotation and gave up three earned runs. .... Suzuki's infield single in the fifth gave him 2,499 career hits in the majors. ... San Francisco is now 2-12 in games started by Lincecum this season.

Romney says immigration decision complicates issue

MILFORD, N.H. (AP) ? Softening his rhetoric on immigration, likely Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said Friday that the status of younger illegal immigrants was important and should be addressed with legislation. He would not say if he would reverse President Barack Obama's decision to stop deporting some who came to the U.S. as children.
The former Massachusetts governor's statement echoed the tempered reaction of Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a Cuban-American who is working on a bill that would allow some illegal immigrants a way to get some form of legal status. Rubio, seen as a top contender for running mate on a Romney ticket, also referred to the decision as a short-term answer and criticized the policy as ignoring the Constitution and going around Congress.
Romney's reaction to Obama's announcement was significantly softer in tone than his rhetoric during the contentious GOP primary campaign. Ahead of January's Iowa caucuses, when he faced the challenge of winning over the right-wing base of the GOP, he vowed to veto the so-called DREAM Act, a bill backed by Democrats that would have created a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. Instead of emphasizing the plight of illegal immigrants, Romney focused on the consequences illegal immigration has for U.S. jobs.
On Friday, Romney spoke to reporters outside his campaign bus on the opening day of a six-state tour and a few hours after Obama's announcement. He would not answer shouted questions about whether he would reverse the order if elected president.
"It's an important matter to be considered and should be solved on a long-term bias so they know what their future would be in this country," Romney said. Obama's executive order to allow some illegal immigrants to obtain work permits and stay in the U.S. legally was problematic, he said, because "an executive order, of course, is a short-term matter. It can be reversed by subsequent presidents."
Romney has previously supported a path to legal status for illegal immigrants who serve in the military.
The changed tone reflects the demands of the general election. Republicans are working to woo Hispanic voters who have supported Democrats in previous presidential elections. They're particularly critical, advisers say, in states like Nevada and Colorado, where significant Mexican and Central American populations are especially worried about immigration policy.
Romney's campaign is working on a significant strategy to woo Hispanics. So far, Romney's team has simply translated its English-language ads into Spanish, but the campaign is also working on a separate plan aimed specifically at addressing Hispanic concerns.
