The 1990s have witnessed a marked increase in interest within the mathematical community in reliable accounts of the history of the subject and its many subdisciplines. Several successful books have appeared telling the stories of mathematicians (such as Constance Reid's biographies of Hilbert, Courant, and Julia Robinson) and mathematical ideas (like Eli Maor's books on e, infinity, and trigonometry). Victor Katz's comprehensive A History of Mathematics won the 1995 Watson Davis Prize from the History of Science Society, and William Dunham's well-received mathematics histories have found wide audiences.
But while researchers have always kept abreast of the genesis of their fields, the greatest surge of interest in this decade has been among mathematics educators. The MAA has come out as a strong champion of supporting these interests by sponsoring the Institute for the History of Mathematics and Its Use in Teaching. This five-year long workshop has provided amateurs and professionals alike with opportunities to discover how to help their students realize that what they learn in their textbooks and classrooms is the result of centuries of (often incremental and hard-fought) discoveries by dozens of the best minds on the planet, people from different eras and cultures, with a variety of motivations, whose commonality is simply doing mathematics.
One of the more interesting trends to emerge from this program to enliven the mathematics classroom with historical topics is the use of original sources. The members of this cult will introduce undergraduates to mathematics in the raw, unadulterated by the typical formalism that appears in most textbooks. They take seriously the sentiment expressed by Abel that "if one wishes to make progress in mathematics, one should study the masters and not the pupils"; moreover, they believe that this exhortation applies to beginners as well as more seasoned practitioners.
The authors of the book under review are among the leaders in this camp. "Nothing captures the excitement of discovery as authentically as a description by the discoverers themselves," they write in their preface. And as the title suggests, Laubenbacher and Pengelley envision their book as something of a travelogue, wherein they bring the reader through five independent Expeditions--one chapter each in geometry, set theory, analysis, number theory and algebra--all by means of a handful of excerpted original sources (in English translations). Each chapter covers about fifty pages of text, and is essentially independent of the others. The format is similar for each: an extended introductory essay charts the basic story line, setting out the mathematical history that is explored in that Expedition. This is followed by three to five primary sources that serve as landmarks within that history. Making sense of these sources is what brings the reader into intimate contact with some of the great minds that shaped the important mathematical developments within that field. In addition, Laubenbacher and Pengelley have prepared extensive bibliographical annotations which guide the reader toward the literature helpful in extending these investigations.
In fact, this is the most striking feature of the book, more important even than the inclusion of the primary sources: the reader who is serious about making headway through this book must be warned that he or she will be at a disadvantage without access to a decent library. Hardly a page passes without two or three references to the 181-item bibliography at the back of the book. And not a small number of the exercises that accompany the Expeditions send us off to the stacks in search of some other treasures, as in this example:
Exercise 3.26: Read and explain Fermat's method of finding the tangent line to a parabola via infinitesimals. Compare the notation of the French and English translations [59, III, pp. 121-23][58, pp. 358-359][166, pp. 223-24] with the Latin original [59, I, pp. 133-35]. Is Fermat's result already in Proposition 2 from Archimedes' "Quadrature of the Parabola" [3]?
This after all is the chief service that Mathematical Expeditions provides. Laubenbacher and Pengelley have furnished us with more than just a glimpse into the heads of great mathematicians. They have armed us with the tools we need to search out the historical literature ourselves and follow the tracks laid by our mathematical forefathers and, in the striking case of Sophie Germain whose work in number theory we read here, a foremother as well!
However, any book that covers such wide-ranging territory cannot be free from some errors. For instance, they claim that "when Euclid makes use of a previously proven proposition, he refers to it in brackets," and that he "identifies rectangles (including squares) by [denoting] opposite corners" when it is impossible for us to expect that the bracketed references or the labeling of figures in the edited text are really Euclid's own. And the statement that the "search for Pythagorean triples goes back at least to the Babylonians" is a common misinterpretation of the Babylonian tablet Plimpton 322. More problematic, however, is the poor quality of the century-old translation of the source by Lobachevsky in the geometry chapter; it is indecipherable in spots and stilted throughout.
Far outweighing any of these difficulties, on the other hand, are the wonderful introductory essays that begin the chapters. The one in Chapter 3, on analysis, is the best short account of the history of the calculus I've ever read. Of course, the sources in this same chapter seemed to me the toughest going in the book. Archimedes' "Quadrature of the Parabola" requires great care on the part of the reader to plow through successfully, and Cavalieri's work on the quadrature of the higher parabolas is nearly impenetrable.
There is a big difference between learning mathematics and its history from a presentation such as we have here and learning it from more traditional works of history (like the ones cited in the first paragraph above). To follow our sojourning metaphor further, it's the difference between getting to know some exotic locale by, on the one hand, hiking off into the countryside, struggling with the native tongue, and surprising oneself with the unfamiliar cuisine, and, on the other, buying a ticket on a bus tour of the same area, where you are whisked from one swanky hotel to another with stops at all the sights that can accommodate parking for large vehicles. The second method of travel provides you with all the comforts of home, but you miss most of the local color; the first method gives a much more satisfying experience, but you've got to work hard for it. Mathematical Expeditions is not an easy book to handle, but it's not meant to be enjoyed in isolation either. Think of it as a key to unlock the mathematical literature that those before us have left behind. Happy travels!

|Vlad and I had come to the Palisades last weekend to do a traverse from Thunderbolt Peak via the North Couloir to Mt Sill. As we had made our approach to camp the day prior extra fast, we decided to quickly climb Agassiz via the NE Face (II, 5.2).
Long story short, we got off route, climbed really dangerous loose rock (I dislodged a desk-sized one by hand-jamming it) and ended up on the summit at midnight, with recently refrozen snow making our descent to the east notch difficult without crampons. After a night of downclimbing around the snow and cliffs, we made it back to camp at 6am. All in all, we had been on the move for 20 hrs since leaving the trailhead!
The route had some stout 5.8 cracks, one overhanging, one offwidth, and one requiring a strong layback.

The City Paper Raves:
"If you don't know Tony Braithwaite, well, he's hard to describe and even harder to believe — a wisecracking dynamo with great impersonation skills and killer comic timing who's impossible not to love. Once, at a Barrymore Awards ceremony in the 1,000-seat Zellerbach auditorium, Braithwaite worked the crowd as MC, cleverly skewering every local theater celebrity in sight. We all roared, and no one got hurt.
His puckish energy can carry a show, like the Arden's hilarious A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum or his Barrymore-winning turn in Act II Playhouse's The Big Bang, but he's also a selfless performer who excels in comic ensembles, such as the 1812 Productions' holiday shows. In his autobiographical solo show, Look Mom, I'm Swell! he does impressions, tells stories, sings songs, welcomes different surprise guests and, of course, does what he does best: plays the audience, a tightrope act that no one does better."

lol You'll be fine, just follow the guide to the T and if you get really stuck then ask....
I followed this guide to the T twice. I have soft modded several wii's before. I am having a problem with usbloader gx. It is telling me i need unstubbed 222 and 249. Says come back when i figure out how to install cios. any help here kind of stuck
BTW, if you followed this guide you would have installed all the needed cIOS. You are not following the guide...(completely at least)
Please redo chapter 2. Read all of it and check to make sure your SD card's root directory looks like the one shown in the spoiler, "You should have this file structure on your SD card".
If that doesn't work, I suggest posting a Syscheck so someone can help you.

Hey all, i used this guide many times but am having an issue getting the boot.dol to even load.
Should i jump to trying something else?
4.2U Wii U.S.A.
Tried Bannerbomb v2:
First set doesn't load and gives "?" on SD screen. Clicking "?" says "this wii cannot load this file".
Tried both alternate "B" and "C", go into SD screen and both lockup after reading SD card.
I use genuine SanDisk 2GB. Also tried a KINGSTON 2GB, both brand new. Reformatted one, left 2nd preformatted with FAT (default). Same issues no matter what.
What did I miss?
Can i do a SMASH STACK on 4.2?
My Wii : FW 3.3u w/ d2x v7final, base 56
USB Loader GX 2.3 under IOS249 (rev 21007)
Have you tried formatting it to fat32 - Full format not quick and if that doesn't work try using the formating tool that Maui has provided in the guide.
Try a fresh d/l of the hackmii installer/BB and transfer it to the card again.

Eaither way this has to be the issue, it makes sense.
Does anyone have a fixed link?

A Bryan man will spend the rest of his life in prison for his involvement in a 2011 murder.
Clifton Montgomery Jr. was found guilty Tuesday of capital murder after a Brazos County jury deliberated for seven hours.
Because prosecutors didn't seek the death penalty, the 27-year-old automatically received a life sentence. There is no possibility of parole.
Authorities allege Montgomery and Eugene Jenkins shot and killed 18-year-old Raymond Cavazos in his apartment on Sprucewood in Bryan in December 2011 in an attempt to take drugs from the known drug dealer.
Jenkins' case is pending.
Montgomery's arrest in 2011 was his 17th in Brazos County since 2005. Among them were drug and robbery charges.

- Characterization of proteorhodopsin 2D crystals by electron microscopy and solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (2008)
- Proteorhodopsin (PR) originally isolated from uncultivated γ-Proteobacterium as a result of biodiversity screens, is highly abundant ocean wide. PR, a Type I retinal binding protein with 26% sequence identity, is a bacterial homologue of Bacteriorhodopsin (BR). The members within this family share about 78% of sequence identity and display a 40 nm difference in the absorption spectra. This property of the PR family members provides an excellent model system for understanding the mechanism of spectral tuning. Functionally PR is a photoactive proton pump and is suggested to exhibit a pH dependent vectorality of proton transfer. This raises questions about its potential role as pH dependent regulator. The abundance of PR in huge numbers within the cell, its widespread distribution ocean wide at different depths hints towards the involvement of PR in utilization of solar energy, energy metabolism and carbon recycling in the Sea. Contrary to BR, which is known to be a natural 2D crystal, no such information is available for PR til date. Neither its functional mechanism nor its 3D structure has been resolved so far. This PhD project is an attempt to gain a deeper insight so as to understand structural and functional characterization of PR. The approach combines the potentials of 2D crystallography, Atomic Force Microscopy and Solid State NMR techniques for characterization of this protein. Wide range of crystalline conditions was obtained as a result of 2D crystallization screens. This hints towards dominant protein protein interactions. Considering the high number of PR molecules reported per cell, it is likely that driven by such interactions, the protein has a native dense packing in the environment. The projection map represented low resolution of these crystals but suggested a donut shape oligomeric arrangement of protein in a hexagonal lattice with unit cell size of 87Å*87Å. Preliminary FTIR measurements indicated that the crystalline environment does not obstruct the photocycle of PR and K as well as M intermediate states could be identified. Single molecule force spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy on these 2D crystals was used to probe further information about the oligomeric state and nature of unfolding. The data revealed that protein predominantly exists as hexamers in crystalline as well as densely reconstituted regions but a small percentage of pentamers is also observed. The unfolding mechanism was similar to the other relatively well-characterized members of rhodopsin family. A good correlation of the atomic force microscopy and the electron microscopy data was achieved. Solid State NMR of the isotopically labeled 2D crystalline preparations using uniformly and selectively labeling schemes, allowed to obtain high quality SSNMR spectra with typical 15N line width in the range of 0.6-1.2 ppm. The measured 15N chemical shift value of the Schiff base in the 2D crystalline form was observed to be similar to the Schiff base chemical shift values for the functionally active reconstituted samples. This provides an indirect evidence for the active functionality of the protein and hence the folding. The first 15N assignment has been achieved for the Tryptophan with the help of Rotational Echo Double Resonance experiments. The 2D Cross Polarization Lee Goldberg measurements reflect the dynamic state of the protein inspite of restricted mobility in the crystalline state. The behavior of lipids as measured by 31P from the lipid head group showed that the lipids are not tightly bound to the protein but behave more like the lipid bilayer. The 13C-13C homonulear correlation experiments with optimized mixing time based on build up curve analysis, suggest that it is possible to observe individual resonances as seen in case of glutamic acid. The signal to noise was good enough to record a decent spectrum in a feasible period. The selective unlabeling is an efficient method for reduction in the spectral overlap. However, more efficient labeling schemes are required for further characterization. The present spectral resolution is good for individual amino acid investigation but for uniformly labeled samples, further improvement is required.

Jessie Bunting netted the game-winning goal in sudden death to lift Wando past Bishop England, 15-4, in the Lower State title game Thursday at Jack Cantey Stadium on Daniel Island.
Less than a minute into the third overtime, with Bishop England down a player to penalty, Wandos Casey Costello broke away at midfield and found Bunting for the open look in front of the net.
When I saw Casey take off with the ball I thought we had a good chance to score, Wando head coach Jessica Stralkowski said. We needed a spark. We got a good look and shot and we did it when it mattered. Im very proud of my team.
Wando (13-1) advances to face defending state champion J.L. Mann (15-3) in the state championship game Saturday at White Knoll High School in Lexington.
(Bishop England and Wando) are the two best teams in the state, said Bishop England head coach Jeff Weiner, a former Wando coach. It stings a lot. It would sting losing to anybody with this team but it hurts a little more when its Wando.
Taylor Kennington scored off a free shot with 26 seconds left in the first overtime to give Bishop England a 13-12 lead. Bunting answered for Wando with just six seconds to play off her own free shot.
Kennington netted another free shot a minute into the second overtime. But Wando countered again, this time with Skylar Horner from eight meters out with 1:30 left. Horner led Wando with seven goals Thursday, six after halftime. The freshman hadnt scored more than three goals in any game this season.
(Horner) is our big unknown, Stralkowski said. We put her in the back there, feed it to her and she gets it. She almost had the win twice. We needed her huge contribution tonight.
Wando tried put the game away with three more shots on goal before the end of the second overtime but Bishops all-state goalkeeper Taylor Rice shut down all three. Rice tallied 15 saves and three ground balls on the night.
Shes the best goalie in the state, Weiner said. Shes been doing it all season and she did everything she could to give us a chance to win tonight.
Bishop England (12-2) scored in the final 30 seconds of the first half to take a 4-3 lead into halftime. Wando ramped up the intensity out of the break with five goals in less than nine minutes. The Bishops countered with their own flurry of four straight goals through the next five minutes.
We knew this game was going to be back and forth, Stralkowski said. One or two goals doesnt mean anything because the momentum can change so quickly. Thats the mentality we kept all the way until the finish.
Kennington led Bishop England with four goals, all in the second half. Dorothy Navarro and Jordan Mitchell both added three. Bunting and Karlee Stinson followed Horners big night with three goals each for Wando.
Weve had the hardest run through playoffs, Stralkowski said. I dont think we could have asked for a better road to state. Chapin and BE are really great teams and to be the best you have to beat the best.

Breed locally, disperse globally: Fine-scale genetic structure despite landscape-scale panmixia in a fire-specialist
Pierson, Jennifer C.; Allendorf, Fred W.; Drapeau, Pierre; Schwartz, Michael K. 2013. Breed locally, disperse globally: Fine-scale genetic structure despite landscape-scale panmixia in a fire-specialist. PLoS One 8(6): e67248.
doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0067248
An exciting advance in the understanding of metapopulation dynamics has been the investigation of how populations respond to ephemeral patches that go 'extinct' during the lifetime of an individual. Previous research has shown that this scenario leads to genetic homogenization across large spatial scales. However, little is known about fine-scale genetic structuring or how this changes over time in ephemeral patches. We predicted that species that specialize on ephemeral habitats will delay dispersal to exploit natal habitat patches while resources are plentiful and thus display fine-scale structure. To investigate this idea, we evaluated the effect of frequent colonization of ephemeral habitats on the fine-scale genetic structure of a fire specialist, the black-backed woodpecker (Picoides arcticus) and found a pattern of fine-scale genetic structure. We then tested for differences in spatial structure between sexes and detected a pattern consistent with male-biased dispersal. We also detected a temporal increase in relatedness among individuals within newly burned forest patches. Our results indicate that specialist species that outlive their ephemeral patches can accrue significant fine-scale spatial structure that does not necessarily affect spatial structure at larger scales. This highlights the importance of both spatial and temporal scale considerations in both sampling and data interpretation of molecular genetic results.

Romo discovers 'something special' with throwing change
SEP 02, 2013 1:21p ET
"I don't want to get into all the details of it," Romo recently revealed as part of a pair of one-on-one interviews. "But I really think it can be a positive change."
The "change" is highly subtle and involves arm angles and release points. Romo first shared the information with FOXSportsSouthwest.com in Oxnard, Calif., in early August when he took to the training camp field a full two hours ahead of schedule for a private workout. He came away from that experimental session beaming.
In this preseason, while continuing to tinker with the change, Romo completed 72 percent of his passes and looked especially sharp throwing downfield to receivers Dez Bryant and Miles Austin. While head coach Jason Garrett tells FOXSportsSouthwest.com to not overstate the importance of QBs experimenting with their mechanics (as it is so commonplace), Romo is clearly trying to do his part to earn his new $118-million contract and to put behind him parts of a 2012 season in which he finished third in the NFL with 4,903 passing yards but tied for the league lead in interceptions with 19.
"I really am excited about it," Romo said Monday in an exclusive visit while preparing for the Sunday night opener against the Giants. "It's going to be a great thing."

Lobo Basketball
Saturday: Texas Tech 86, Lobos 78
Up Next: Lobos vs. New Mexico State, 6:35 p.m., Tuesday, The Pit
By Richard Stevens -- Senior Writer/GoLobos.com
To win on the road, there are a lot of things a team needs to do and a lot of things a team needs not to do. The Lobos made more than a few critical mistakes down the stretch at Texas Tech allowing the Red Raiders to escape with a 86-78 win Saturday afternoon in Tech's United Spirit Arena.
Simply put, the Lobos didn't make plays in the game's critical minutes and allowed the Red Raiders to make big plays and big shots. The Lobos also didn't take care of the basketball very well in the game's final minutes.
The back breakers for UNM:
-- A cross-court pass by senior Daniel Faris that was stolen by Tech's Tyree Graham, who goes in for a layup at 3:55 to push Tech up 73-66.
-- A Dairese Gary turnover on a pass that leads to a Alan Voskuil trey at 2:14 to push Tech up 76-69.
-- Sending the wrong Raider to the free-throw line (Voskuil) with 1:31 to play. Voskuil hits them both to give Tech an 80-74 lead.
-- Another Gary turnover at 1:11 that eventually leads to a layup by Tech's Robert Lewandoski that gives the Raiders an 82-74 lead to ice the win for Texas Tech.
The loss at Tech drops the Lobos to 7-5 on the season, but the Lobos have a chance to quickly wash the taste of defeat out of their mouths. The New Mexico State Aggies visit The Pit at 6:35 p.m. Tuesday. The Lobos next game after that is a Dec. 30 visit to the Aggie's Pan American Center in Las Cruces.
The Lobos were paced in scoring at Tech by freshman Phillip McDonald, who had 17 points and six rebounds. Chad Toppert had 15 points and Roman Martinez added 14 points. Tony Danridge had 13 points. The Lobos did not get a good game inside from Faris, who had more fouls (5) than he had points (4) or rebounds (3).
Tech was paced by Voskuil with 28 points. John Roberson had 13 points and nine assists and Mike Singletary had 12 points and 11 rebounds. Tech shot 26-of-56 from the floor for 46.4 percent and UNM shot 28-of-60 for 46.7 percent.
Tech used the free-throw line to help it raise its record to 8-3. The Raiders went 25-of-31 from the charity stripe. UNM went 12-of-18. The Lobos had 19 turnovers and Tech had 16. Tech had 36 rebounds to 33 for the visitors from Albuquerque.
The Lobos had muscled to a 24-17 lead in the first half, but a 14-0 run by Tech pushed the Raiders up 31-24. UNM trailed 35-31 at the half.
The Lobos' inside game suffered a blow at the 15:12 mark of the second half when Faris fouled Singletary on a drive and the 6-9 Faris went to the bench with his fourth foul. Singletary made the free throw to give Tech a 46-40 lead.
A 3-pointer by freshman Nate Garth, a layup by A.J. Hardeman and a 3-pointer by Chad Toppert helped UNM grab a 48-47 lead. At the 11:41 media timeout, it was Tech 51-50. Roberson hit two free throws at 10:33 to put Tech up 53-50 and UNM's Garth came down to hit a trey to tie the game at 53-all.
Tech went up 60-55 at at the 9:18 mark when Voskuil launched a long and successful 3-pointer. Tech's Roberson picked up his fourth foul bumping Danridge on a cut and Danridge hit both free throws to cut UNM's gap to two points at 60-58 going into the game's final eight minutes.
Danridge cut into Tech's lead again with two free throws at the 5:52 mark to make it 64-62 in favor of Tech. Roberson came off the bench and quickly hit a trey to make it 67-62 at 5:37. Lobos coach Steve Alford called a timeout.
McDonald and Voskuil exchanged jumpers and at 4:49 it was 69-64 Tech. McDonald penetrated the zone for a jumper and Voskuil countered with two free throws to make it 71-66.
Tech's Graham came up with his big play play at 3:55 when he stepped in front of Faris' pass and scored to put Tech up 76-66. UNM cut it to 73-69 at 3:34 on a Toppert trey. Going into a timeout at 3:05, UNM is still down 73-69, but UNM has possession of the ball.
Garth comes out of the break and turns the ball over on a drive. Tech couldn't convert, but Gary turns it over with a bad pass and Voskuil banged in a trey from the right side at 1:10 to push Tech up 76-69. Martinez came back with a quick trey to pull UNM to 76-72 at 1:57, but the Lobos were running out of time.
Tech got a driving scoop layup from Robertson and Martinez hit two free throws to make it 78-74. Martinez made a mistake after his free throws by sending the red-hot Voskuil to the line. It was Martinez's fifth foul. The 6-3 senior banged in both freebies and came up with a steal a few seconds later on a Gary turnover. With 1:05 to play. Raiders' coach Pat Knight called a timeout with the ball and with a six-point lead.
The Raiders' iced the game with 50.2 seconds to play when Robert Lewandowski scored a layup that pushed Tech up 82-74 and pushed Faris to the bench with his fifth foul. The Raiders used the free-throw line to reach the 86-78 final.

Kriss Kross Reunites for Some Reason: A Hilarious Look at Their Last Ten Years
"Chris, I just don't understand," his wife chides. "Why do the fronts of your pants wear out before the backs? It's like you've been wearing them b--"
She's stunned. Chris has never raised his voice before.
Mac Daddy closes his eyes. Focus. Take control. Suppress the trembling.
She must never know.
~ ~ ~
2006. Six rings. Seven rings. Daddy Mac isn't nervous. Sometimes Jermaine doesn't pick up if he doesn't recognize the number. Plus, he's a busy guy these days. He was always a busy guy, but he used to have a little more time for his friends. Nine rings.
"Big J! Congrats on the Grammy, dude. You know I popped a Korbel when they read your name out."
"Who is this?"
"It's the D A double D Y to the M A C, man! God, it really has been too long."
Jermaine Dupri stays up pretty late, so a phone call at 11PM isn't beyond the limits of good taste. Jermaine and Daddy Mac were always night owls.
"How did you get this number, Chris? We've talked about this, Chris."

Pink Sugar
By Elizabeth
from North Vancouver
I totally agree with Michelle, the lip gloss does not do as the "representative of the product" stated..With regards to the roll on fragrance. I like it but don't love it. Just too sweet.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

By Michelle
from Armstrong,B.C.
Not bad, not great.. perfume did not smell as I thought it would be.. a bit too much on the "sweet" side. VOLUMIZING Lip Gloss??? I dont think so.. did nothing like mentioned on the airing. Okay for a lip gloss but if your buying this gloss for the volumizing effect, dont waste your $$$

Former Lobo standout Keren Bentzur is in her second season as UNM assistant track and field coach and third year on the staff overall. Bentzur, a two-time Israeli national long jump champion, served as a volunteer coach at UNM in 2005 and was a 10-time all-Mountain West Conference honoree under head coach Matt Henry from 2001-03. She trains the Lobo jumpers and women's multi-event athletes.
Bentzur made an immediate impact in 2006, her first year as a full-time assistant. UNM freshmen Tiyana Peters and Khristina Curtis became the first Lobos to earn all-MWC honors in the indoor high jump, finishing tied for second with marks of 5-07.75. Senior Mike Powdrell (2nd - long jump) and rookie Josh Cosio (3rd - high jump) earned all-conference honors at the MWC Outdoor Championships and also qualified for the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships in their respective events.
New Mexico put up 34.5 points in the men's and women's jumps at the MWC Outdoor Championships, including 13 by Powdrell and sophomore Domnick Meadows in the men's long jump and 11 by Cosio and Powdrell in the men's high jump. Powdrell finished as the Lobos' High Point award winner, racking up 13 at the conference meet.
The Lobos had at least one MWC finalist in the men's and women's long jump, triple jump and high jump at both the indoor and outdoor championship meets in 2006.
A native of Beer-Sheva, Israel, Bentzur was named one of the top international newcomers in NCAA Division I when she transferred to New Mexico from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem following the 1999-2000 school year. The multi-event standout earned athletic and academic all-conference honors in each of her three years at UNM, and competed at the NCAA Outdoor Championship meet in 2002 and 2003.
Bentzur turned in one of the greatest conference championship performances in school history as a senior, earning the MWC High Point Award at the indoor meet with 30 points in the pentathlon, long jump, triple jump and high jump. She was also the first UNM woman to win two events in one year at an indoor conference meet, taking the pentathlon and long jump that year. Bentzur still holds indoor school records in the long jump (19-11.00) and pentathlon (3,845 points).
In 2002, she finished one spot shy of All-America honors, placing ninth in the heptathlon at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Her career-best heptathlon score of 5,371, set in 2002, was just 48 points shy of the Lobo record. Bentzur also owns the top outdoor long jump (20-03.00) and indoor high jump (5-07.25) marks recorded during in Henry's five-year tenure.
Bentzur earned her B.S. in Nutrition from UNM in 2002 and received her master's in Exercise Physiology, also from UNM, in July of 2005. The former Keren Sari married husband Rotem Bentzur in 2001. The couple has a 2-year-old son, Noam.

Thanks a lot. I've always wanted to know if the pancakes are the same. Do you think is worth going to Clinton for pancakes alone??
thanks for the response, but I'm looking for a restaurant.
