Abstract: To explore the existence of self-organization during friction, this paper considers the motion of all atoms in a systems consisting of an Atomic Force Microscope metal tip sliding on a metal slab. The tip and the slab are set in relative motion with constant velocity. The vibrations of individual atoms with respect to that relative motion are obtained explicitly using Molecular Dynamics with Embedded Atom Method potentials. First, we obtain signatures of Self Organized Criticality in that the stick-slip jump force probability densities are power laws with exponents in the range (0.5, 1.5) for aluminum and copper. Second, we characterize the dynamical attractor by the entropy content of the overall atomic jittering. We find that in all cases, friction minimizes the entropy and thus makes a strong case for self-organization.
1. Introduction
Friction at the atomic scale has been rekindled as an active area of research for 20 years. Although it is well established that the laws of friction at the nanoscale differ from the well known ones for macroscopic bodies set forth centuries ago by Coulomb and Amontons [1], general principles for nanofriction do not exist to date. Prominent models to remedy this situation were proposed in the mid-20th century by Tabor and Bowden on the basis of microasperities [2]. On the one hand, this lack of an overarching approach has led to interesting novel phenomena, such as superlubricity, self-healing and stick-slip phenomena in atomic friction. On the other hand, and taking into consideration the accrued empirical information collected in the last 50 years, relevant proposals to set friction on a sound theoretical framework have been put forward recently on the basis of general thermodynamics principles by Nosonovsky [3]. These are very exciting times to study the foundations of friction due to the recent widespread access to unrelated but germane tools: the science of complexity [4], atomic force microscopy and related technologies [5,6,7,8], accessible computer power [9], and the development of large interatomic potential databases [10,11].
In particular dry friction stick-slip motion has attracted particular attention as it serves as a model for fundamental macroscopic phenomena such as earthquakes [12,13,14,15], as well as it serves as a conceptual connector, at the microscopic level, between friction and self organized criticality (SOC) [16,17]. Also entropy has been proposed as a unifiying concept to understand friction and wear under different conditions [18].
Thus, it is pertinent to study well controlled systems to clarify the connection between friction and stick-slip, and of friction and entropy. An ideal scenario for a controlled situation consists on the production of reproducible atomic dynamics during friction. This is possible via full solution of the equations of motion of the many particle system, for well controlled external parameters such as ambient temperature and velocity. Here we present such results based on Molecular Dynamics computer simulations that model explicit stick-slip motion in dry friction between a metal sample and an Atomic Force Microscope metalic tip. This Molecular Dynamics is implemented using the code and visualization tools developed by LAMMPS at Sandia National Laboratories [19]. We begin by showing empirical evidence of the presence of signatures of Self Organized Criticality in the form of power laws. Then we interpret the dynamic attractor as a fluctuating state involving atoms in the neighborhood of the contact that reduce the entropy of the system. This article is a sequel of previous experimental and theoretical studies of atomic stick-slip in nanofriction, in search for the possible existance of SOC and its corresponding attractor [20,21,22,23].
The paper is organized as follows: in Section 2, Methods, we explain the the Molecular Dynamics approach for the tip-sample metal systems of interest. In that section we also present the method to measure power law exponents of the stick-slip avalanches, and the computation of the entropy of the whole system. Section 3 shows the main results of this article. Section 4 presents the conclusions.
2. Methods
This section is divided into three subsections where we describe respectively, the Molecular Dynamics setup, the probability distribution of stick-slip avalanches, and the entropy content of the tip-sample system.
2.1. Molecular Dynamics
As explained in the introduction, we obtain the motion of individual atoms in the system via the program LAMMPS [19]. The atomistic model entails a copper (aluminum) tip and a copper (aluminum) flat slab (Figure 1). The tip is made in the shape of a truncated cone, with top radius of 2.0 nm (2.3 nm) and bottom radius of 1.3 nm (1.4 nm). The slab is 1.88 nm (2.10 nm) thick in the z direction, and 4.86 nm (5.45 nm) in the x and y directions, with periodic boundary conditions in x and y. The uppermost three atomic planes of the tip are constrained to move in tandem, as a single rigid body, while the lowest three atomic planes of the slab (made up of nine planes) are fixed. Temperature is considered via the introduction of fictitious tiny particles with the appropriate Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution of velocities, the Langevin thermostat [24,25,26,27]. Pressure is controlled via simulated forces on the top layer as described in [28,29]. To simulate nominal constant velocity of the tip with respect to the slab, the top three atomic planes of the tip are moved rigidly at constant velocity while all the other atoms in the system (except the fixed layer in the slab as explained above) move according to Newton's second law under Embedded Atom Method potentials [30], and under the NPT (constant number of particles, pressure and temperature). Speed and temperature used are reported in the caption of Figure 1. In particular the temperature of 1K was chosen because we are interested in the atomic motion induced by friction alone. Higher temperatures would induce vibrational modes, that although present in many real situations, they would mask the friction-only effects that we are trying to understand here. Newton's second law for each particle is implemented as described in the foundational LAMMPS Molecular Dynamics article [31].
2.2. Stick-Slip Statistics
Using MD as described in Section 2.1, we monitor the instantaneous frictional force as the top layers of the tip are pulled at a constant velocity. A typical friction-vs-displacement curve is shown in Figure 2, where one sees the avalanche behavior characteristic of SOC in dry friction.
In this case, the avalanches are in the form of stick-slip events of different sizes. We analyze the probability distribution of such events (jumps) by looking at the histograms of jumps. We will see in the Results section, that these probability distributions follow power laws with fractional exponents in all cases, necessary signatures of SOC. Specifically, we test whether:
2.3. Tip-Sample Entropy
If SOC is indeed happening, as suggested by the power law probability distributions of the stick-slip jumps, one is immediately prompted to enquire into the nature of the attractor. In other words, in this non-equilibrium system, how this steady state is approached, and what microscopic intuition can be developed. To this end, we monitor the jittering of the atoms during sliding, and ask whether there is a global trend. Specifically, at each instant of time, we calculate the vertical displacement of each atom with respect to a fixed position, in the reference frame moving at the constant velocity equal to the externally applied sliding velocity. Then, at each time step, we compute the entropy content of the whole system. This is done by first constructing the histogram of vertical positions zi(t), where i labels each atom in the system, and this is done at each instant of time. From zi(t), we produce a histogram of heights from which we obtain the probability πi(t) of getting zi at time t. Finally, the entropy is computed thus:
Since the system is small, of nanometer dimensions, this entropy measure should provide a spatially localized characterization of the attractor.
3. Results
We show first the probability of jumps histograms for a copper tip on a copper substrate, and for an aluminum tip on an aluminum substrate for various normal loads.
3.1. Probability of Jumps
From the MD friction force traces (such as in Figure 2), we extract the force sudden changes and compute their probability distributions. As explained in the previous section and is typical of power law behavior, we find in all cases a range [Jmin, Jmax] within which the jumps J are well characterized by power law probability densities. In Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5 we show these results for an aluminum tip sliding on an aluminum substrate, subjected to normal loads of 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 nN. The corresponding exponents are (the α in Equation (1)) are 1.40, 0.99, 1.00 respectively. Figure 6, Figure 7 and Figure 8 show similar results, this time for copper. The loads are also 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 nN, while the corresponding exponents are 0.64, 1.16 and 0.74. This lack of correlation between the exponents and load and material (Table 1) has been noticed and reported in the past [20,21]. Yet, the results are consistent with the existence of power laws in all cases studied which suggests Self Organized Criticality, and begets the question: what is the attractor? That will be addressed in the next subsection.
|Table 1. Power exponents of the stick-slip jump force probability distribution with fractional values in the range (0.5, 1.5).
|1.0 nN
|1.5 nN
|2.0 nN
3.2. Entropy of Jittering
With the indication of Self Organized Criticality in Section 3.2, we search for the attractor. Since this is a system in constant motion far from equilibrium, the attractor cannot be a fixed point in phase space. Instead, we conceptually think of this attractor as a global motion of the atoms of the system, as if dancing in concert. Specifically, we monitor the jittering of all atoms measured with respect to their initial positions in the moving reference frame. At each time step, we consider the collection of the vertical displacement of all the atoms. Thereafter, we compute the entropy (Equation (2)) of that collection, and observe its evolution with time. For all the six cases considered (aluminum and copper under different normal loads) the qualitative behavior is the same: the entropy decreases as a function of time (Figure 9, Figure 10, Figure 11, Figure 12, Figure 13 and Figure 14). This is a direct observation of self-organization as smaller entropies indicate. In addition, the large time small entropy proves to be a proper label for the attractor.
4. Conclusions
We have performed Molecular Dynamics computer experiments on atomic clusters to obtain the individual motion of all atoms during stick-slip dry friction motion. We considered aluminum and copper systems under various normal loads and found in all cases power law statistics which strongly suggests Self Organized Criticality. We backed up this suspicion by directly analyzing the jittering of all atoms in the system. This jittering was quantified by measuring its entropy content. In all cases studied, we found that the entropy decreases with time, which directly shows that friction tends to self organize the system. Also, the asymptotic value of the entropy at large times can be used as a label to characterize the attractor in steady state. Molecular Dynamics allows us to monitor the motion of each individual atom, in particular in the attractor state. Although this can be computed, our brain cannot comprehend such vast number of varying coordinates. However, it is as if, in steady state the atoms form a chorus that sings their entropy value, a concept simple to grasp.

A little about me...
I am a thoughtful, kind, very intelligent man who has traveled extensively and wishes to share what I am with another. Every day is an adventure of self-exploration: of myself, this universe and the "road" which I am taking. There have been many, many experiences in my life---all making me what I am now. And through it all, there is a sensation that the best is yet-to-come. Exactly what that means is difficult to say, but it is more a felt-sense and knowing than words or thoughts. My greatest moments are sharing deep conversations, looking at beautiful scenes and creating a more complete individual. There are many sides to my personality; deep, emotional, thoughtful, and introspective. It all goes into the me that is here and going through the daily experiences of life. My education never ends, it began formally in school and continues in so many ways. To fully describe whom I would like to date would be impossible--but an interesting topic for future discussions.
About the one I'm looking for...
I am looking for a long-term relationship where we may share many of the wonderful moments that the world offers. And when difficulties arise, face them together.
I'd just like to add...
I would just like to add that what we do is less important than our ability to enjoy it.

ThunderCat Racing World Championships
ThunderCat Racing World Championships
What's it all about?
Taking place in Cornwall, these light-weight, inflatable boats will be descending on Fistral Beach for a weekend of international action. Teams from all over the world will be competing for the World Championship crown. If you like thrills and spills this is an event not to be missed. Family Zones and interactive sports will ensure there's something for everyone!
What happens?
Seven rounds make up the British RYA National Championship series, combining 3 different disciplines of racing which ultimately tests the best in the world. These are; Surf racing; at some of the best UK surf spots, Flat-water circuit racing; where teams work relentlessly to gain that extra mph out of the engine and propeller. The last and most challenging discipline is the Endurance long haul; where teams test their stamina over a minimum of a 60 mile long course!
How can visitors take part?
It's a fantastic sport to watch and with a bit of luck Watergate Bay will be throwing up some challenging conditions in the surf for the competitors.Watch the fastest motorised catamarans zoom along the shoreline in two days of high-octane sport. It's like Formula One racing on water and waves make it even more exciting, so pray for surf!
Did you know?
If you go back, 4 or 5 years ThunderCat Racing was unheard of in the Northern hemisphere and most likely to have been mistaken for a cartoon spin off, now it is a global force to be reckon with; 18 Countries are flying the ThunderCat Racing flag, some have been competing for over 20 years, others such as Argentina, Canada, Iceland and Ireland, have recently added strength to the existing countries, bringing a breath of fresh air to the sport.

Great, practical stocking stuffers for Christmas!
Elizabeth from Ambler, PA– Verified Buyer
The magnetic feature of these measuring cups, just like with the measuring spoons is such a clever idea. Particularly, when space is at a premium in a small apartment, attaching these to a stove or securely stacking them in a drawer w/o having them scatter, is very helpful.
Good idea
Frank from Lexington, MA– Verified Buyer– Top 500 Reviewer
A simple idea that makes sense. Helps with clutter in the drawers because all the measuring cups stick together and stack nicely.
pretty green
patricia from indian head, MD– Verified Buyer
these like the spoons are pretty but don't stick to refrig or stove. nice color
Great Buy
Rita from Washington– Verified Buyer
I am very happy with the magnetic measuring cups so far. They are working out well. They are a great quality and a great value.
Very good cups
Steve Shafer from Oregon
Ive been using these for a year and love them. I keep checking in hopes they will make a 6 piece set with 23 and 34,

Hi Devin, Quite a lot you might want to look into, but there are great (and challenging pieces too!) by Murray Schafer. Robert Ingari wrote Three Madrigals in 1988 and two of the scores are edited (http://www.robertingari.com/composition.html). I love to dig into 20th century music for my choir...

Dal Segno Vocal Ensemble is proud to present, for the first time in Quebec City, swiss born Frank Martin's Mass for double chorus (a cappella) on May 10th 2014, 8 pm. While being a grandiose but yet very intimate work, it was written in the heart of the impressionistic period best represented by Cla...

It is hard to do so and be perfectly sure of the pronunciation... The major problem with puritan historic linguistic is that we don't have modern pronunciation guides for ancient French, or they aren't easily accessible on the web. It will be very hard to find a specialist of ancient Frenc...

Hello Stephen, You are absolutely right about the modern version. This is exactly how it should be pronounced. The "eust" is an old ending of the verb at the third person singular. We still have, in French, the same graphic ending for the conjugation of the verb "have" for simple past (eus...

With all respect, I wouldn't consider Sweelinck as a Renaissance composer... I would be more inclined to give him the title of "Early baroque composer". However, I don't know the work you are suggesting and can't seem to find it online: depends of the writing! Same thing for Heinrich Schütz in...

November 26, 2014
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - San Francisco police say they have a suspect in custody related to the fatal shooting and robbery of a man who advertised a Playstation 4 gaming console for sale online.
The shooting occurred around 3:30 p.m. Sunday on the street in the city's Bayview district.
The San Francisco Chronicle (http://bit.ly/IGwXxo) reports that the victim is 22-year-old Ikenna Uwakah of Daly City.
Police say the console was taken and Uwakah shot after he arrived at a meeting place with his girlfriend to make the sale. The girlfriend was not injured.
Police had not arrested the suspect, so have not released his identity.
Police spokesman Albie Esparza says investigators were looking for video surveillance footage that could lead to the suspect.

First we have to read about the glorified tradition of fox penning (for dog training), and now a feature about the raising of pheasants (for dog training) ["Raising pheasants is pleasant side job," Feb. 15].
Please stop lauding the people who are responsible for the exploitation and slaughter of innocent animals.
The Gumps cannot even use the excuses of deer hunters, who claim they need to feed their families or for the "altruistic" cause of saving the poor deer from overpopulation.
Raising a thousand birds per year to sell to rich hunters who enjoy easy prey, not because they are in need of the meat for food but because they "look attractive on their wall," is disgusting.
These people are no better than the owners of greedy corporations getting rich off of factory-farmed animals, or big game safari hunters gloating over their trophies. Stop trying to sell us stories about "tradition," and call it what it is: man making a profit exploiting the innocent just because he can.

Last summer, Creative Electric studios set up a satellite gallery space on a tiny houseboat docked on the Mississippi. Dubbed the "SS Infinite Regress," the gallery featured an 8 x 10-foot room where the walls were covered with mirrors, the floor was lined with shag, and film projectors looped trippy images from above. The resulting effect (mostly thanks to the mirrors) was a space that was both miniscule and infinite. During its run, three music videos and a dance film were shot in the temporary gallery as well. Phil Harder's 16 mm films feature rock bands the Twilight Hours, Zak Sally (Low), and Typsy Panthre, as well as dance performances by Krista Langberg and Kate Lynch. At this cool Saturday-night party you can check out the resulting films, which will be projected on a loop while the actual bands play live sets in the studio.

REALbasic Developers is a development tool from REAL Software Inc. Check it out if you're interested in an easy way to develop Mac and Windows software. In spite of the "Basic" name, it doesn't just help beginners get into programming – it also helps experienced programmers get more work done faster. Since coming to work at REAL Software I have found myself doing nearly all of my free-time hacking with REALbasic. It really does make life easier, and I get more working code written in less time when using REALbasic than with any other tool.
But you probably already use REALbasic, or you wouldn't have found this page. This is a collection of plugins and modules that I've written for various projects. They are all free, offered here in hopes that they will save you time in your own work. Feel free to write me email if you have comments or questions.
SoundOutputStream Plugin
The SoundOutputStream plugin registers one class, also named SoundOutputStream. An instance of this class will play a buffer of sound samples through your system's default audio output device. The class has an interface similar to the built-in REALbasic Sound class:
Class SoundOutputStream Sub Play(buffer As MemoryBlock) Sub PlayLooping(buffer As MemoryBlock) Sub Stop() Function IsPlaying() As Boolean End Class
Autocompleting Combo Box Demo
A simple RB project with an edit field and a popup menu. The popup inserts its value into the edit field, and text typed in the field autocompletes from the values in the popup.
FTPListEntry Plugin
There is no standard format for FTP LIST entries, so a server is free to return any sort of listing it wants. A great many formats have arisen over the years and dealing with FTP server LIST responses has become quite messy. The FTPListEntry plugin, based on D.J. Bernstein's ftpparse library, wraps this complexity into a simple REALbasic class.
The plugin contains a class named FTPListEntry, which has the following properties:
Source As String
Name As String
IsDirectory As Boolean
Size As Integer
LastModification As Double
Create an FTPListEntry object for each line in the server's response. Assign the line to the object's Source property. The other properties are read-only, and their values will update automatically when you set the Source property. LastModification is expressed in seconds; assign it to a Date object's TotalSeconds property to get the month, day, and year.
ID3 tags store an MP3 file's title, artist, album, and track number information. This class reads and writes ID3v1.1 format tags. It has these methods:
Read( file As FolderItem )
Write( file As FolderItem )
And these properties:
Title As String
Artist As String
Album As String
Year As Integer
Comment As String
Track As Integer
Genre As Integer
MBOX File Parser
The 'mbox' format is the unchallenged standard for importing and exporting email messages. Many email clients even use it as their standard mail storage file format. This pair of classes parses an mbox format file and extracts the headers of each message it finds.
Splitter Control
A simple drop-in splitter control, including cursors.

Customer Raves & Reviews
fun, pretty, and cute!
He Stole My Heart Save the Date Magnets We ordered these Save the Dates in Black/White/Red, and at first I was a little hesitant because I couldn't see them in person- so we ordered the proof! For $7 it was a great idea, the proof looked adorable and we really were impressed. We ordered 175 with the card holders and envelopes as well. The card holders I am not thrilled with- I think we should have ordered plain ones, the hearts are a bit much. The magnet is adorable, and we have recieved so many compliments about it! Definitely order them!
So much nicer than expected!
Our Vow Save the Date Magnets I ordered these magnets, with the foil envelope and a card holder or them and just had fun with it. I did not expect them to be as beautiful as they turned out. I have gotten calls from family wanting to know where i got them and how beautiful they are and of course everyone loves having it on their fridge! They ship exactly as expected and on time. I would highly recommend these magenta and this company. They did a fantastic job! Thank you.
live.laugh.love Save the Date Magnets This magnet came out very nicely. Remember that the colors of the photo will be muted but the font will be bold. I thought this was the most modern style: getting to choose a photo we liked, being able to customize the colors and fonts, customizing the placement and keeping it clean & simple without the tackiness that magnets can sometimes get.
Exceeded expectations!
live.laugh.love Save the Date Magnets Magnet street offers so many options when it came to our selecting of save the date magnets. They have a variety of sizes and layouts. They also include envelopes with your purchase. Our magnets came out exactly as they appeared on the preview before we ordered and we love them. The quality is excellent and they even included sample invitations with our orders. We will be using them to order invitations. Very impressed with this company!
Chic Lines Save the Date Magnets We are very pleased with our purchase of this design from MagnetStreet. We were able to use our custom colors and they turned out great! The only thing I wish we had done is spend a little bit extra money for it to have a matte finish as opposed to a glossy finish. But that was our cost-cutting choice! Pleased with MagnetStreet's customer service, quality, and value!

Life of Crime Can't Take Itself Seriously
By Alan Scherstuhl
By Amy Nicholson
The idea for Twenty Bucks probably came from Max Ophuls's sparkling 1950 comedy La Ronde, but its prickly sensibility is pure 1990s. Rather than chase the flame of love, as Ophuls did, first-time director Keva Rosenfeld follows a pivotal twenty-dollar bill from person to person to person, with amusing results.
The relay-race form of this independent comedy limits each actor's screen time, but the loosely linked anecdotes sail along nicely. When the crisp twenty comes out of a cash machine, it gets into the hands of a philosophizing derelict (Linda Hunt) fixated on the state lottery, then those of a prospective groom (Brendan Fraser) whose indiscretions will scuttle his wedding plans. The bill moves on to a stripper at a bachelor party (Melora Walters), a hilarious teenage gourmet (Kamau Holloway) who fantasizes about his own TV cooking show and, in perhaps the sharpest vignette, a gentleman stick-up artist (Christopher Lloyd) who scams his hotheaded young partner (Steve Buscemi) on a night of mayhem.
By this time, the dough is stained with dirt, coffee, blood and cocaine.
The script, by Leslie Bohem and his late father, Endre, was hatched almost sixty years ago, but it's amazingly contemporary: Other custodians of the cash include a bewildered waitress (Elizabeth Shue) who wants to be a writer despite her father's objections, and a spaced-out priest (Spalding Gray) running a bingo game. Like Max Ophuls, Rosenfeld brings the story full circle in the end, with a little help from that recurring character Coincidence.
The ensemble cast is a joy to watch, and this romp through fits of greed and human foibles provides some rare pleasures you won't find in the mainstream blockbusters.
Better hurry, though: Twenty Bucks opens Friday at the Mayan and runs for one week.

No. 5 Kentucky women outlast No. 9 Baylor in 4 overtimes
Jennifer O'Neill scored 43 points as No. 5 Kentucky beat No. 9 Baylor 133-130 in four overtimes in the highest-scoring Division I women's game of all time.
The Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Texas – Jennifer O'Neill dreamed No. 5 Kentucky's game against ninth-ranked Baylor would come down to a buzzer-beater.
She just didn't imagine it could be any one of five buzzers.
O'Neill scored a career-high 43 points, including the go-ahead basket in the fourth overtime, and Kentucky outlasted Baylor 133-130 on Friday in the highest-scoring NCAA Division I women's game in history.
"I don't feel anything right now," said O'Neill, who set a school scoring record. "I thought it was more overtimes, to be honest."
The Wildcats (9-0) won consecutive games against top-10 teams for the first time in front of a crowd heavy with Kentucky blue at the 80,000-seat home of the NFL Dallas Cowboys and site of the men's Final Four this season.
The Bears (7-1) played the last three overtimes without standout guard Odyssey Sims, who had a career-high 47 points when she fouled out with 1:23 left in the first overtime.
The previous high for a Division I women's game was 252 points in Southern Methodist's 127-125 victory over Texas Christian, also in four overtimes, on Jan. 25, 1997.
"I don't think that they have a meter that could measure my happiness when (Sims) got out of the game," Kentucky coach Matthew Mitchell said. "We just couldn't stop her."
No. 24 Zags romp
SPOKANE – Keani Albanez scored 17 points and Haiden Palmer added 16 for the 24th-ranked Gonzaga women in a 96-47 victory over Portland State.
Gonzaga (6-1) scored the game's first 19 points and was up 40-8 with less than six minutes left in the first half. The Zags, who have won four games in a row, led 53-13 at halftime.
Angela Misa led Portland State (2-4) with 15 points and 12 rebounds.
Baylor men defeat No. 3 Kentucky
ARLINGTON, Texas – Kenny Chery scored 18 points, including six in a go-ahead run, and No. 20 Baylor defeated No. 3 Kentucky 67-62.
The Wildcats (7-2) had a 50-41 lead when Julius Randle, one of three Kentucky freshmen playing in their home state, dunked with 13 minutes left.
Baylor (8-1) responded with a 15-5 run led by Chery.
Randle scored 16 points.
Meanwhile, in another top-10 men's game, No. 9 Oklahoma State beat visiting South Carolina 79-52.
UCSB men beat Cal
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Alan Williams scored 24 points as UC Santa Barbara defeated California 72-65.
UCSB (4-3) had lost all 10 of its previous games against the Golden Bears (6-3) and hadn't beaten a Pac-12 team on its home court since 2002.
In another game involving a Pac-12 men's team, Jahii Carson scored 23 points to lead Arizona State to a 78-56 victory at DePaul.
• Jamie Weisner, who is from Clarkston, scored 22 points to lead the Oregon State women to a 79-73 victory over Portland.
Kari Luttinen, a former Seattle Prep standout, scored 21 points for Portland.
