Istanbul On The Way To The Olympics!
Never has Istanbul been so close to the Olympics. A candidate for the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Istanbul is more prepared and ambitious than ever.
All eyes are on the vote to be taken by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on September 7th in Buenos Aires. İstanbul is competing with Tokyo and Madrid to host the Games. And the city's "Bridge Together" Olympics slogan lays emphasis on its unique location uniting continents and cultures.
Istanbul 2020 will leave a lasting legacy for the citizens of Istanbul and all those who visit this magnificent city. The redevelopment of Haydarpaşa port will provide 60 ha of public space along the Bosporus including a legacy entertainment and cultural centre integrated into the park lands.
Olympics On Two Continents
Suat Kılıç, Minister of Youth and Sports
Istanbul unites new and old, east and west, and is the only city promising an Olympics on two continents. Doing today on a global platform what we've been doing for centuries, we want to establish bridges and embrace the whole world. Istanbul is moving rapidly forward on its way to becoming an Olympic city.

This summer as rock and roll fans gather at musical festivals around the globe, the Rock Hall is celebrating the the greatest music festivals in history, the biggest and baddest music festivals of today and the fans who make Common Ground: The Music Festival Experience.
From June 12-15, the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival takes over Manchester, Tennessee, with a host of performances from some of the biggest names in music. Among the headlining acts and performers at Bonnaroo this year are a number of artists who also feature in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, in Cleveland, Ohio, including four Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees.
Mickey Hart:
Percussionist Mickey Hart was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 with his bandmates in the Grateful Dead. When Hart visited the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in 2012, he shared stories about the first time he ever saw the Grateful Dead live and the San Francisco scene in the 60s. Pictured below is his illuminated signature in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.
Bobby Womack:
Bobby Womack was born in Cleveland, where he and his siblings formed a gospel group. Sam Cooke, then lead singer of the Soul Stirrers, recorded the Womacks on his secular label as the Valentinos. The group cut "Looking for a Love" (later covered by the J. Geils Band) and "It's All Over Now." The Rolling Stones' cover of the latter song gave the Stones their second Top 40 hit in the States. Recording under his own name, Womack made his greatest mark in the 70s and 80s. From 1970 to 1990, Womack was popular and prolific, charting 36 singles. These include such major R&B hits as "That's the Way I Feel About Cha," "Woman's Gotta Have It" and "If You Think You're Lonely Now." Womack topped the R&B chart with his 1974 re-recording of "Lookin' for a Love." Bobby Womack wore the vest pictured below, part of the Museum's Cleveland exhibit, in the 70s and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009.
Robbie Krieger:
Inducted with the Doors in 1993, guitarist Robbie Krieger brought to the group his distinctive, elegant playing style unlike the blues-based guitar leanings favored by most his six-string peers in the 60s. A multi-instrumentalist, Krieger studied flamenco guitar and the sarod and sitar, two Indian classical instruments. Krieger used the sitar pictured below, part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's Legends exhibit, on the Doors' recording of "The Unknown Soldier."
Jack White:
Jack White and Meg White formed the White Stripes in 1997 in Detroit, delivering an earthy, simple-on-the-surface take on the blues that struck a powerful chord with audiences and critics alike. Their breakthrough album, 2003's Elephant, went platinum and included the hit "Seven Nation Army." The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's Music of the Midwest exhibit includes 2001 stage plot, guest list and promo photo from a 2001 White Stripes concert at Cleveland's Beachland Ballroom and Tavern, all pictured below.
Elton John:
Elton John is among the most successful musical artists of the modern era. In terms of popularity, he ranks with Elvis Presley and the Beatles among rock and rollers. Moreover, his longevity as an active recording artist surpasses both of them. In 1992, he broke Presley's old record for the most consecutive years of Top 40 hits on Billboard's singles chart, having been a continual presence in every year since "Your Song" debuted in December 1970. A multifaceted talent, John excels as both a ballad-oriented singer/songwriter and a flamboyant rock and roll star. Pictured above is his illuminated signature in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. Watch Elton John's 1994 Hall of Fame Induction acceptance with Bernie Taupin:
Skrillex describes his current sound as "a mix of dubstep, electro and glitch all thrown together." He adds that he has "been deep into electronic music my entire life. The first records I ever owned were The Fat of the Land by the Prodigy and Come to Daddy by Aphex Twin." In November 2011, Skrillex was nominated for five Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist. Skrillex used the above pictured Apple MacBook Pro onstage in 2010 and 2011. He also used it in the studio while recording his Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites EP. He used the pictured midi controller, which creates percussion and drum sounds, at more than 300 live shows in 2010 and 2011.

On January 22, 2010, the Los Angeles Superior Court granted preliminary approval of 19 class action lawsuits alleging age discrimination against television writers. The settlement resolves claims against most major studios, networks and talent agencies in Hollywood and, if approved, will create a settlement fund totaling $70 million.
WGAW members who were age 40 or older as of January 22, 2010 are potentially part of the "professional writer settlement class" and will receive in the mail a written notice detailing the terms of the settlement and the claims filing procedure. The heirs of certain members who passed away on or after October 22, 1996 will also be part of that class. In addition, certain non-members who sought employment as television writers have been designated members of the separate "aspiring television writer settlement class" and will also receive notice of the settlement by mail or email. A hearing on final approval of the settlement is set for May 5, 2010.
Since the Guild was not a party to these class action lawsuits, it is not authorized to advise writers about the settlement process. All questions should be directed to the lawyers for the plaintiff class and the claims administrator, Garden City Group. The following websites and toll free numbers have been established for this purpose:

Tractor-trailer driver airlifted after accident on I-85
Published: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 11:02 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 11:02 p.m.
A driver of a tractor-trailer was airlifted to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem with serious head injuries after he ran into the median and traveled through a number of trees early Wednesday morning on Interstate 85, said Ron Chaffin, assistant chief for the Central Volunteer Fire Department.
Central firefighters were dispatched to the single-vehicle accident at mile marker 95 at 2:38 a.m.
Trooper Jeff Boozer identified the truck driver as 40-year-old Willie Frank Johnson of Austell, Ga. Johnson, the trooper said, ran off the interstate to the left, went into the median, struck several small trees and crashed into a large tree. Boozer said Johnson was entrapped for a "pretty good while"
Boozer said a passerby called in the accident. The trooper said Johnson may have been in his wrecked truck for about 30 minutes prior to the accident being called in. Boozer said that Johnson told him he felt like he was going to have a seizure, just blacked out and didn't remember the crash.
A WFBMC spokeswoman said Wednesday night that Johnson had been discharged.
No charges will be filed in the accident because the accident was because of a medical condition, Boozer said.
Boozer estimated Johnson's original travel speed to be 65 miles per hour and 50 miles per hour when the truck driver struck the small trees. The trooper said he wasn't positive Johnson was wearing a seat belt.
"He was beat up so bad," Boozer said.
Boozer said Johnson barely missed a large tree in the median that likely would have killed him.
Chaffin said the truck driver became entrapped. Firefighters had to cut off a door to reach him.
"He was moving around and inside but just couldn't get out," Chaffin said.
The tractor-trailer driver had no passengers.
Chaffin said the tractor-trailer driver knocked over some "pretty good size trees" and totaled the truck. The tractor-trailer was hauling furniture. Some diesel fuel spilled from the truck, but there was nothing major regarding spills.
All of the northbound lanes were shut down for about 30 minutes immediately after the accident for AirCare. Two of the southbound lanes of Interstate 85 remained closed about 7:30 a.m., Chaffin said.
All of the lanes were reopened by 9 a.m.as crews with the N.C. Department of Transportation cleaned up debris from the accident.
Firefighters with the CVFD cleared the scene about 7 a.m. They were assisted by firefighters with the Holly Grove and Lexington fire departments, Chaffin said.

Emergencies occur at the least opportune times. Sink holes appear. Utility lines snap. Storms wash out rights of way. When these things happen, it's absolutely essential that your vehicles and crews be seen, especially if it's at night or in the midst of severe weather.
Along with the other rules that govern public agencies are two guidelines for adequate truck lighting:
Lights fail the second criterion from a number of causes: physical and chemical damage, shock and vibration, burnout, and low current.
To keep lamps operating longer, never start a truck with lamps turned on. Surge currents can vaporize filaments on incandescent lights.
And if a lamp appears to be burned out, test it. The top three suppliers recently reported that more than half the lamps returned as defective still worked. Customers not only wasted money replacing those lamps, they missed the underlying causes of the failures—usually the wiring. Then they had to repeat repairs.
A decade ago, lights and wiring were the second-highest truck-maintenance cost category after tires. Since then, most manufacturers have adopted sealed harnesses and LED lighting, eliminating wiring from the list of the top 20 troublemakers.
Still, many fleet managers continue to use sealed bulbs and individual bundled wires leading to each lamp, with ground wires going to the frame. While initially cheaper and easier to repair, over the long run this setup is subject to greater damage than modular sealed wiring.
Coupled with sealed and LED lighting, modular systems reduce overall ownership costs by eliminating exposure to the elements. If you plan to keep a truck more than four years, it pays to upgrade to sealed harnesses. This is especially true if vehicles are exposed to snow-fighting chemicals, which increase the severity of corrosion on truck chasses and components.
A sealed system has a jacket molded right onto the wires and connectors. It's not just a cover; it's a structure. Grote Industries' Ultra-Blue Seal Lifetime Harnesses, Peterson Manufacturing's Maxi-Seal Harness Systems and Truck-Lite Co. Inc.'s Series 88 harness systems virtually eliminate wiring problems.
If you haven't equipped vehicles with sealed harnesses, here are a few tips to help care for discrete wiring:
To avoid the need to splice wire, buy replacement lamps with molded plugs or sockets, rather than those with wire pigtails. Protect plugs and sockets from corrosion with dielectric grease. Grote Ultra-Seal Corrosion Protection, Lubriplate DSES, and Truck-Lite NYK Grease are available at most parts stores and truck dealers.
If you must replace wire, splice at a point where the wire is generally dry, and then run the new wire from there. Before joining wires, put an appropriately sized shrink tube over one side. It should be long enough to extend ½-inch past the connectors on each side. When splicing wire to replace corroded sections, include enough wire to form a drip loop. Make sure the loop points downward to allow spray and water to drain away from connectors.
The best splices are made with the wire sections twisted together and soldered. Crimp connectors are almost as strong. The best have sealant that flows when heat is applied, which makes the connection moisture-proof.
After crimping, test the connectors by pulling gently on the wires and terminals. Even when using terminals with heat-activated sealers, use heat-shrink tubing. When done, use heat on the connector as appropriate, then slide the tubing over the splice. Use a heat gun to evenly shrink the tube to seal the splice.
Never penetrate insulation, or use connecters that bite through insulation. Continuity testers with pointed probes are designed for use with metal sockets and plugs. When pushed through insulation, they leave a pinhole that conducts chemicals through capillary action, causing corrosion.
Bundle and support wire using plastic ties as closely as possible. Moisture can freeze on the wire, and ice buildup adds weight that could pull plugs out of sockets. Also, wire ties reduce vibration.
Abrasion damages unprotected wires. Protect from abrasion by bundling wires together inside plastic slit-tube conduit available at hardware stores. Use grommets whenever wires are routed through openings in frames, cross members, firewalls, brackets, or panels.
If you must add lights or make repairs, never splice into a sealed harness system. There are "daisy chain" or "plug and play" modular systems available to allow connections for extra lamps without destroying system integrity. Custom-made harnesses are available through authorized dealers.

DBC Events
Submitted by Jim THies (not verified) on
I did my first bike race in Colorado in the spring of 1994, 19 years ago and it was a Stazio Crit promoted by Chris Grelish. I'm not sure if it was officially DBC Events at that time, but none the less, it was the same tireless promoter that has done more for the grassroots of this sport in Colorado than another entity, group, or individual.
DBC like Without Limits is entitled to make a profit putting on races. The market will dictate how much, and I am sure it is nominal. Instead of complaining everyone should give a big thanks to those that officiate, volunteer, promote races in the state. DBC has been doing it for 20+ years. They have promoted everything from the smaller office park crit to National Calendar events. Make sure you have your facts straight before you throw someone under the bus in a public forum.
Chris- Thank you for all that you and Barb do to make sure we have great racing in this state.

It's been a privilege to race every DBC event I could. CG always defined the next level and showed the other promoters how to do it. Guaranteed, DBC do it for the love of the sport and make zero money from it.

I find it disturbing to see a 50 minute conversation with our LA and not once was the issue of nearly every MTB race in the state being unsanctioned brought up. For that matter MTB racing wasn't mentioned at all. If sanctioning through BRAC is so great for road/Cross, why isn't BRAC out there trying to sell themselves to the MTB promoters. As an advocate of cycling in general I feel compelled to buy a racing license every year, but as primarily an MTB racer just buying a license is at odds with my personal goals around racing because none of the local promoters seem to think sanctioning is worth their effort. This is especially true with the UCI/USAC threatening to clamp down on unsanctioned racing. What is BRAC/USAC doing to make sanctioning more equitable for MTB promoters?

Last Modified: Friday, May 24, 2013 at 11:29 a.m.
North Topsail Beach | The body of an Onslow County teenager has been recovered after he disappeared in the water off North Topsail Beach on Thursday.
Officials say the 19-year-old went under while swimming with friends around 7 p.m. A search for the him took place on the water and from the air. His body was recovered at 2:10 a.m. Friday.
The Southwest High School Facebook page identifies the teen as a Stallion football player, but officials have not released his name.
Witnesses reported that the victim went under the water approximately 100 yards from shore. Emergency personnel from North Topsail Beach were dispatched to Onslow County Beach Access No. 4 on New River Inlet Road. Coast Guard assets, as well as the Marine Corps' PEDRO search and rescue helicopter, were called to the scene to assist.

Zach Bintliff Remains Alive In Hunt For Placewinner Finish At Midlands
One year after two Tiger teammates made runs to the podium at the Midlands Championships, senior Zach Bintliff remains in the mix for a placewinner finish at one of the most prestigious events in the wrestling season.
Bintliff had to take the long route in wrestlebacks after suffering a 10-2 major decision loss to eighth-seeded Josh Wilson of Utah Valley State. The long route could have had a quick ending, but Bintliff came up with an overtime takedown in his first wrestleback for a 10-8 win over Cody Ruggirello of Hofstra, and he followed with a 6-1 win over Northwestern's Dylan Marriott.
He will open Sunday's portion of the competition against the unseeded Christian Barber of North Carolina. He will need three straight victories to start the session to be assured of a place on the medal podium.
Bintliff was joined by four other teammates, all of whom were eliminated Saturday. There were some highlights, though; freshman 184-pounder Scott Gibbons won twice, including a 15-0 technical fall over Wheaton's Mitch Steed in the championship bracket. After a loss to eighth-seeded Joe Rau of Elmhurst, Gibbons topped Bryan Loughlin of Northern Illinois 10-4. He was eliminated in a tight 3-2 decision to Jordan Thomas of Michigan.
Max Rogers (125), Ryan Callahan (174) and Dan Santoro (197) each went winless Saturday.

Coaching change
Some have come close, but no one has ever done it. Not Shula, Parcells, JJ, or anyone else.
So when you feel the desire to bring in a Jon Gruden or a Bill Cowher because "they've had a history of winning" remember that history has a way of repeating itself in the NFL, and they are unlikely to have success here or anywhere.
Plus this: when you hire an uber coach, you cede power to him. He buys the groceries and cooks the meal. He's the GM and coach, and therefore he has control. The current NFL makes that really hard, and there's no one there to help balance the equation. Its all about ego, and its hard to have success that way.

Dick Vermeil cam close though to winning 2 championships with different teams. Took 2 (Philly and St. Louis) to the Superbowl. 1 loss and 1 win.
Holmgren also did that with 2 different teams. 1 win and 1 Superbowl loss with Green Bay, and then 1 loss with Seattle (robbed in my opinion if you watched the game.)
There have been other very successful coaches that worked for more than 1 team so it is not entirely inconceivable that a "retread" can have some success or even the ultimate success.
I am just saying.... (Still want Harbaugh though)
You're right - several have come close, actually taking a new team to the big dance.
And at this point, I'd take *close* LOL
Just that no one has ever actually won it elsewhere.
Harbaugh would be a sweet pickup.
Oh yeah, posted quickly what came to mind and didn't mean to slight our man Shula with Baltimore and Miami and also Parcells if I am not mistaken - didn't he lose with Patsy's. Dan Reeves never won but took 2 different teams and Denver many times.
Just saying success is not unheard of, but you are right and JJ is right; none have ever won with more than 1 team.
I think someone may be due...
Still hoping for young blood Harbaugh though!

1. You've got: stray "goat" or "hag" hairs
As we age, we can blame a spike in testosterone for those irritating strays that crop up on our chins, cheeks, upper lips and even ears. And if they seem to appear overnight, well, that's because they often do. "The production of those strays is hormonally mediated, so they can grow very rapidly and literally pop out in a matter of hours," says Jeanine Downie, MD, a dermatologist based in Montclair, New Jersey. If your hag hairs (some of us deal with one recurrent stray; others get clusters) are darker than the color of your skin and very persistent, a few pros suggest ponying up for a series of laser treatments. Keep in mind, though, that because this growth is hormone driven, the hair may take longer to eliminate (e.g., 12 treatments versus eight—at $100 and up a pop) than growth elsewhere. If that seems a bit costly, experts say there is no reason not to pluck or shave. It gets the job done, at least temporarily. For shavers, Gervaise Gerstner, MD, consulting dermatologist for L'Oréal Paris, suggests the Tinkle Eyebrow Razor ($5; sallybeauty.com), a narrow, easy-to-handle razor that's unlikely to nick and safe to use anywhere on the face.
2. You've got: a graying bikini line
Shaving or waxing will still work effectively, though depilatories will most likely fall short, since a number of formulas aren't strong enough to dissolve coarse grays. For at-home waxers, we recommend strip-free kits, because they're better at yanking out coarse hair at the root (whereas strips can tear hair at the skin's surface). Try Bliss Poetic Waxing Kit ($48; blissworld.com). However, if it's the new hue, not the overgrowth, that bugs you, Victoria A. Cirillo-Hyland, MD, a dermatologist based in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, suggests Betty Beauty ($13; bettybeauty.com), a pubic-hair dye that comes in nine shades, from brunette to blonde to (why not?) pink.
In the market for a more permanent solution? Laser hair removal is, alas, off the table, because laser light seeks melanin—and gray hair has none. But electrolysis is still a viable option, because it uses color-blind electric currents to zap the graying hair follicles. Expect to undergo a series of at least five sessions (average cost: $50–$150 each) spaced a couple of weeks apart. You will also need to have yearly touch-ups; the body is resilient (or defiant?) and will eventually sprout some new hair.
3. You've got: facial fuzz
Hormone swings tied to aging account for an increase in peach fuzz, usually on the cheeks and upper lip. If the hair on your face is fair and fine (or gray), you have a number of choices. You can wax, which removes hair for up to six weeks. However, waxing is not a good alternative if you use a retinoid cream, which thins the skin and makes it more apt to tear. A less irritating option in that case is threading, says Shobha Tummala, founder of Shobha hair-removal spas. This method literally utilizes a thread (not unlike one used for sewing) to yank hairs from their roots. Threading and waxing give similar results, and both also weaken follicles over time, making hair grow back finer and occasionally not at all. A third possibility (this one too is safe for retinoid devotees, provided they stop using their creams for 10 days before the procedure) is dermaplaning, in which a certified aesthetician -gently removes the top layer of skin—and any excess hair—with a surgical blade (cost: $90–$150 per treatment). This procedure is essentially a deep exfoliation (with no downtime) and will leave you both fuzz free and radiant. Finally, for immediate, albeit short-lived, results, you can just pick up your razor and gently shave over fuzzy areas—or use a depilatory made for the face, such as Olay Facial Hair Removal Duo ($25; truthorhair.com), which works for fine hair. Results last about a week.
If the hair on your face is wiry and dark, you can try any of the aforementioned options for fine or gray hair. But most experts say you'll be most satisfied splurging on laser treatments, which offer a nearly permanent solution; most people see at least a 90 percent reduction in regrowth. Expect to undergo eight to 12 treatments, each priced at $100 or more. Electrolysis is another option, but it will probably require more sessions because the electric current targets just one follicle at a time, making the process a bit slower (by contrast, lasers zap inch-wide areas, allowing the treatment to target more follicles in a single session). Finally, you too can wait to try Olay's facial depilatory for coarse hair, as noted above.
4. You've got: less body hair
"As you age, most women see a reduction in body hair on their legs, underarms and bikini line," says Cirillo-Hyland. Although generally a good thing, since this means you can skip the daily shave, it doesn't completely eliminate the need to groom. So if you're over the whole razor thing, consider Depilar, a two-step treatment that costs less than lasering and promises a nearly permanent (90 percent) reduction in body hair of all shades. How it works: First, the hairy area is waxed to empty out the hair follicles; then it is slathered with a gel containing the enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin, which destroy cells responsible for hair growth. Expect to undergo six to eight 10-minute treatments (each $40 or more), about two months apart. A yearly touch-up may be necessary. If your sparse body hair is darker than your skin, you may also find success with an at-home laser. These devices zap follicles just like in a doctor's office, although it usually takes longer to see results. We like the Tria Hair Removal Laser ($395; triabeauty.com). Or try Sally Hansen's new Simply Smooth Hair Remover ($11; drugstores). This depilatory finishes the job in three minutes, then washes away, as does the hair it removed.
5. You've got: sensitive body skin
At home, it's probably time to retire depilatories, since most formulas contain hair-dissolving chemicals that can induce inflammation. The same is true of waxing—unlessthe wax is sugar based. Sugar wax sticks less to skin than traditional wax does, reducing the likelihood of contact dermatitis. Many salons carry sugar wax; do-it-yourselfers can try Shobha Sugaring Kit for Body and Bikini ($30; myshobha.com). Shaving may be your safest at-home option, but choose a razor with three or more blades, such as the Schick Hydro Silk Razor ($10; drugstores), which cuts hair close to the skin, preventing chafing. And if you're after a more permanent solution, most pros say you can get lasered (unless you're fair haired; then you're not a good candidate). "Lasers don't affect the skin's surface, just the area beneath it," says Neil Sadick, MD, a New York–based dermatologist. Ditto for electrolysis, which zaps the roots of hair (fair or dark) with an electric current but shouldn't affect the skin.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LadyNRed Fun, Colorful, and Useful I bought these measuring cups as a gift to myself and love then. I keep them on my counter and use them as both prep bowls and for measuring. January 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bluejean Christine These just make you smile! These never leave my counter top. I use them for primarily nonspecific measuring, not so much for baking where accuracy is more important. I use them also as prep bowls. They are so attractive and I do put them in the dishwasher although it is not recommended. I really didn't need another set of measuring cups but once I saw these I couldn't get them out of my mind and knew I had to have them eventually! They are so cute and always a conversation starter for kitchen visitors. August 24, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by pixi0206 Fun accessory! I have a small simple kitchen. These measuring cups give my place a bit of whimsy and color with out taking up much space. I use them primarily as prep bowls when I am cooking. It's such a little thing but makes cooking fun and pretty. July 28, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ali These are great! I love these. All of the colors are vibrant. They go very well in my kitchen so I set them out on the counter for decoration and an easy grab for when I need them. Plus, I'm a Nutritionist so they are perfect for me! February 18, 2011

The TAU Portable Profiling Package
TAU (Tuning and Analysis Utilities) is a powerful, portable profiling and tracing tool. It can be used for performance analysis of parallel applications written in Fortran, C, C++, Java, and Python and is supported on almost all platforms.
TAU is capable of instrumenting a code automatically, manually, or at runtime. PSC's current version of TAU is configured with PAPI for hardware performance counters data. It can be configured with different options or tools such as KOJAK, SCALASCA to enhance capabilities such as generating tracing data or to instrument pthread and OpenMP threads codes.
Contact PSC User Services with questions or to request other TAU configurations.
There are three steps involved in using TAU: 1) instrument your code; 2) run the code in parallel; and 3) view the TAU profiling report.
Installed on: blacklight.
It is good practice to test your code to be sure it compiles and runs before adding TAU profiling. Once it does, you are ready to instrument the code.
- Instrument your code
- Load the TAU module. This will define some environment variables for you. To see what versions are available, type
module avail tauLoading the latest version is recommended.
To load the module you want, type:
module load tauType
module show tauto show the variables that have been defined.
See more about the module command.
- Decide what profiling option you want and select the appropriate Makefile stub for the options you want.
On blacklight, the Makefiles are in $TAU_ROOT_DIR/x86_64/lib.
The name of the Makefile stub indicates the situations where it should be used. For an openmp code, choose a Makefile which includes at least 'opari' and 'openmp' in the filename.
For example:
Use this Makefile stub for profiling MPI code using the Intel compilers and generating papi counters.
Use this Makefile stub for automatic instrumentation of pure OpenMP code.
- Choose which (if any) compiler options to use. Type tau_compiler.sh --help to see the available options. For example:
-optVerbose for verbose compilation.
-optKeepFiles to keep the instrumented files after compilation
- Define the Makefile, define any compiler options, and compile your code. Exactly how to do this depends on whether or not you use a makefile to compile.
If you use your own makefile for compilation, follow the next 2 steps:
- Edit your makefile and include the TAU defined Makefile at the top of yours. Precede the compiler and loader lines with TAU_COMPILER and TAU_OPTIONS.
..... include TAU_MAKEFILE $TAU_ROOT_DIR/x86_64/lib/selected_makefile .. TAU_OPTIONS = -optKeepFiles -optVerbose .. CCFLAGS=$(TAU_OPTIONS) -O3 CCLFLAGS=$(CCFLAGS) CC= $(TAU_COMPILER) icc .. foo:foo.o $(CC)$(CCFLAGS) -o foo foo.o foo.o: foo.c $(CC) $(CCFLAGS) -c foo. clean: rm *.o foo *.inst.* *.pdb ....
- Compile your program.
If you do not use your own makefile for compilation, follow the next three steps:
- Edit your makefile and include the TAU defined Makefile at the top of yours. Precede the compiler and loader lines with TAU_COMPILER and TAU_OPTIONS.
- Define TAU_MAKEFILE, depending on the shell you use:
setenv TAU_MAKEFILE $TAU_ROOT_DIR/x86_64/lib/selected_makefile or export TAU_MAKEFILE=$TAU_ROOT_DIR/x86_64/lib/selected_makefile
- Set TAU_OPTIONS to be any desired compiler options, depending on your shell, e.g.:
setenv TAU_OPTIONS '-optKeepFiles -optVerbose' or export TAU_OPTIONS='-optKeepFiles -optVerbose'
- Compile using one of tau_cc.sh, tau_cxx.sh, or tau_f90.sh
tau_f90.sh -o foo foo.f
- Load the TAU module. This will define some environment variables for you. To see what versions are available, type
Run the code in parallel
Once the program compiles, create a batch script. This script should execute your code in parallel. For example, use mpirun for an MPI program.
Be sure to define OMP_NUM_THREADS for an openmp code.
Successful execution will produce profile.x.x.x.x files, where x is a numeral.
Submit the batch script using the qsub command.
View the profiling report
When the batch job has finished, view the TAU report. This can be done interactively. Load the TAU module (as above) and then launch either pprof or paraprof from the directory that contains the profile.x.x.x.x files.
For a text report, use pprof. To see the available options, type pprof -h .
To see a graphical report, use paraprof. Type paraprof -h for the available options.
X Authentication Note that the recommended approach for obtaining the cookies required for xauth authentication is to log in to the remote machine using ssh -X or ssh -X -Y.

International Presentation Association of the Sisters of the Presentation
- Date submitted: 24 Oct 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Submission Document: Not available
- Additional Document:
General Contenta) What are the expectations for the outcome of Rio+20, and what are the concrete proposals in this regard, including views on a possible structure of the Outcome document? The International Presentation Association of the Sisters of the Presentation (IPA) http://internationalpresentationassociation.org/ is an accredited NGO with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations. Sustainable Development is one of our foci and we collectively engage ��to address the root causes of poverty, especially by confronting personal and corporate greed which exploit Earth, her people and the whole community of life.�� Having our presence in 22 countries in both Global North and South, the members of IPA across the world have been in conversation in the lead up to Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development and have actively participated in DPI/NGO 64th Annual Conference on ��Sustainable Societies: Responsive Citizens��.
The particular focus for conversation was to consider the Principles which we believe should underlie a Green Economy within the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication. The outcome of our conversations is presented below as input to the compilation document.
1. Expectations for the outcome document of Rio+20
The following Principles will be basic to an understanding of the Outcome Document:
1.1 Respect for life, which includes recognizing the laws of nature and affirming the interdependence of all life forms on earth and the dependence of the human species on a healthy ecosystem.
Without this base any other principles are utilitarian. The care of the earth and concern for the most vulnerable in our world should dominate the discussion at Rio+20 Conference. Too often the priority is on economic gain and a materialistic philosophy, to the detriment of the impact on the environment and society. So companies and industry benefit first. However, emphasis on the ��market�� and promotion of jobs through a supposed ��trickle down�� effect has done little to alleviate poverty and the destruction of the Earth. Respect for all life and the values of the Earth Charter must be explicitly targeted in the document. We believe that the only way for humankind to survive on our planet home is to develop another system, with another relationship with nature. The values of the Earth Charter are not to be overlooked.
1.2 That a green economy recognizes the relationship between gender equality and sustainable development and women��s role as change agents and community builders.
While the role of women as carers and nurturers of people and Earth has played a critical part in social and environmental development, women��s capacity is under-utilized. Gender equality and sustainable development are key to positive outcomes of Rio+20 Conference and require greater investment in women��s leadership and role in decision making in new economic development opportunities.
1.3 Importance of Education: All stakeholders need to be educated holistically, from cradle to grave, on the inter-relatedness of the three pillars of development: social, economic and environmental
Education at all levels of society will ensure that the outcomes of Rio+20 Conference are met with informed action which will eradicate poverty. Education will empower those living in poverty to follow new paradigms different from those used by developed countries. Education will challenge the so-called ��developed�� countries to reduce over-consumption, reduce their ecological footprint and realize that we share one Earth where each being has rights to a fair share of its resources. Education will change mindsets so that nature can no longer be regarded as a commodity.
1.4 A green economy acknowledges that there are common but differentiated responsibilities.
Developed nations must commit to the use of technologies which drastically reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and to providing incentives to ensure these technologies are affordable and used by the majority of consumers. Developed countries must commit to supporting developing countries through technology transfer and financial support. Principles that support an equitable economy for all people and the environment will bring about a radical change in our consumerism and market driven attitudes and policies. A green economy must be socially just, redistributive and responsible and not foster a new generation of ��green billionaires��.
1.5 Good management of forests is essential to the development of a green economy.
��Forests are a key part of the ��ecological infrastructure�� that supports human well-being.�� A balance between society��s demand for forest products and the preservation of forest health and diversity is required to maintain their biodiversity, productivity, regeneration capacity and vitality now and in the future. Good management will ensure that this balance which is critical to the survival of the forests and the future of forest- dependent communities is maintained.
b) What are the comments, if any, on existing proposals: e.g., a green economy roadmap, framework for action, sustainable development goals, a revitalized global partnership for sustainable development, or others? N/A
c) What are the views on implementation and on how to close the implementation gap, which relevant actors are envisaged as being involved (Governments, specific Major Groups, UN system, IFIs, etc.); 2. Views on implementation, and how to close the implementation gap
2.1 As sustainability issues apply across every sector, effective leadership and political will, committed to the principles of intergenerational sustainability, are vital to achieving success.
2.2 Incentives to be provided to corporations for developing sustainable practices, disincentives for non sustainable practices and sanctions imposed for failures to meet national / international obligations.
2.3 Progress indicators need to be ��greened��
2.4 More authority and support need to be given to Environmental Protection Agencies (EPA). These have faced growing resistance to ��regulations�� in general, and to those proposed for the environment EPA in particular. With each de-regulation the corporations gain and the environment and people lose.
2.5 A tax system needs to be operational to support renewable energy and Governments must be required to tax pollution.
d) What specific cooperation mechanisms, partnership arrangements or other implementation tools are envisaged and what is the relevant time frame for the proposed decisions to be reached and actions to be implemented? N/A
Specific Elementsa) Objective of the Conference: To secure renewed political commitment for sustainable development, assessing the progress to date and remaining gaps in the implementation of the outcomes of the major summits on sustainable development and addressing new and emerging challenges. Contributions could include possible sectoral priorities (e.g., (e.g., energy, food security and sustainable agriculture, technology transfer, water, oceans, sustainable urbanization, sustainable consumption and production, natural disaster preparedness and climate change adaptation, biodiversity, etc.) and sectoral initiatives that contribute to integrate the three pillars of sustainable development could be launched and endorsed at Rio+20. 3. Emerging challenges for developing countries
3.1 Re: Farming
i) Monitoring and control over the exploitative practices of foreign countries which buy large tracts of land of poor and/or indigenous peoples and over-fish the oceans with their trawlers.
ii) Greater support for farmers who use sustainable practices
3.2 Re: Resource Exploitation
Commitment to redress the exploitation of the resources of developing countries: e.g. 99 year leases by national and foreign corporate entities of land titles of densely forested areas in PNG for logging purposes.
3.3 Re: Tax on Financial Transactions
The promotion of green practices and the alleviation of poverty supported by a tax on financial transactions, for example the Financial Transaction Tax.
b) Green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication: views regarding how green economy can be a means to achieve sustainable development in its three dimensions, and poverty eradication; what is its potential added value; experience to date, including what has worked and how to build upon success, what are the challenges and opportunities and how to address the challenges and seize opportunities, and possible elements of an agreement in outcome document on a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication 4. Possible elements of an agreement.
4.1 Integrating the Green Economy with Poverty Eradication
?� Strategies and policies in a green economy that will help alleviate poverty
4.2 Integrating the Green Economy with Food Security. This includes:
?� enhancing rural incomes, employment and livelihoods
?� Promoting development and transfer of green technologies for sustainable agriculture and food security.
4.3. Integrating the Green Economy with Energy Security
?� Promoting universal energy access
?� Renewable, clean energy and diffusion
4.4. Developing a framework for financial requirements and mobilization
c) Institutional framework for sustainable development: Priorities and proposals for strengthening individual pillars of sustainable development, as well as those for strengthening integration of the three pillars, at multiple levels; local, national, regional and international. 5. Governance
The Governance that emerges from Rio+20 Conference must be critiqued on the following formula: Is it a triple win? �K..For the economy AND all people AND the environment.

LITTLE ROCK, AR (Feb. 16, 2010) -- Eating disorders are a group of psychiatric illnesses with significant and potentially devastating physical complications. They have the highest mortality rate among psychiatric illnesses. Not only does an eating disorder affect the physical health of a person, it is primarily a psychological illness. More suicides result from patients with a diagnosed eating disorder than depression. With 8 million Americans of all ages already diagnosed with an eating disorder, it is important to become familiar with these disorders to help identify and treat them as early as possible.
The week of Feb. 21-27 is designated as National Eating Disorders Awareness Week. The National Eating Disorders Association aims to raise awareness to help the public better understand every aspect of an eating disorder, creating a better understanding of the behavior that could indicate a person has an eating disorder, the threats the illness poses to a person's physical and emotional health, who to contact for help and the treatment involved.
Although eating disorders are seen in both genders, and in people of all ages - from children as young as age 5 to the elderly - they are most commonly seen in adolescent females. Maria Portilla, MD, is the medical director of the Adolescent Eating Disorder Clinic at Arkansas Children's Hospital and an associate professor of Pediatrics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences College of Medicine. Portilla and her colleague, Tracie Pasold, PhD, evaluate an average of two new patients a week for a potential diagnosis of an eating disorder. Pasold is the psychosocial director of the Adolescent Eating Disorders Program at Arkansas Children's Hospital and an assistant professor of Pediatrics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
"With better awareness of the signs of these eating disorders, we can hopefully help educate the public on what to look for in their friends and loved ones," said Portilla. "Our goal here is to identify the illness as early as possible and begin treatment before the condition is life-threatening - and it certainly can be life-threatening."
Portilla says that the eating disorders diagnosed in the Eating Disorder Clinic at Arkansas Children's Hospital include anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.
"Individuals who have an eating disorder may see themselves as overweight, when in fact they are malnourished," said Portilla. "Symptoms and signs of anorexia nervosa can include excessive weight loss, excessive exercise, avoiding fats and carbohydrates or avoiding meals altogether, fatigue, fainting, missed menstrual periods, sleep disturbance, constipation and/or depression."
The symptoms and signs of bulimia nervosa can include eating large amounts of food in a short time period followed by purging, excessive exercise after a meal, an obsession with food or weight, mood swings, a frequent sore throat, heart burn, abdominal pain, constipation/diarrhea and/or swelling of hands or feet.
"The important thing to remember is this is a real illness," said Portilla. "Biological or mental, it's real. Are kids doing this on purpose? No. To get attention? No. The truth is you wouldn't ask that from someone diagnosed with cancer."
Portilla says these disorders can be caused by five possible factors. These include genetics, personality traits such as obsessive compulsive or perfectionist tendencies, chemical imbalances in the brain, relationships, environment or the media. There are key factors that can sometimes trigger a person to fully develop an eating disorder. Triggers can include stressful events such as the onset of puberty, the death of a friend or family member, parents divorcing, other relationships ending or other distressing experiences.
"Several serious health complications can result from an eating disorder or an inadequate diet. Complications can include loss of muscle mass, loss of bone mass (osteoporosis) or loss of menstrual periods - leading to infertility, hair loss or abnormal sugar metabolism. Eating disorders can also trigger fainting, abnormal electrolytes which can also lead to seizures or an irregular heart beat that can result in death," Portilla said.
Pasold feels that the best treatment for eating disorders should be provided by professionals from different disciplines.
"This ideal approach entails a multidisciplinary team effort that includes a medical physician, nutritionist/dietician, psychotherapist, psychiatrist and a specialty nurse," said Pasold. "Professionals who specialize in eating disorders are recommended for best results." The earlier an eating disorder is identified and treated, the better the prognosis.
Role modeling plays another important factor in properly treating someone with an eating disorder. Parents of all adolescents, especially those with an eating disorder, should practice healthy eating behaviors. An ideal role model should practice eating well-balanced meals three times a day, exercising properly three to four times a week and avoid making negative comments about themselves or their body image. Parents whose child has an eating disorder should be especially careful to avoid discussions about dieting or their child's eating disorder, cut back on weekly activities, and should spend quality time eating meals together three or four times a week.
Although treatment and rehabilitation for an eating disorder can often take months, and sometimes years, to overcome this illness, the rewards of regaining a healthy, fulfilling life with high self-esteem and healthy eating habits are well worth the hard work in the long run.

Frying is regarded as a plebeian technique and has come to be identified with fast food and state fairs, where vendors compete for the weirdest fry feat: fried Twinkies, fried Snickers bars, fried Oreos, fried beer. But lately, chefs have reclaimed the technique, looking to the great cuisines of the world, which made their reputation on fat. In today's kitchens, there should be no more fear of frying.

Blood is the life-maintaining fluid that circulates through the body's heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries. It carries away waste matter and carbon dioxide, and brings nourishment, electrolytes, hormones, vitamins, antibodies, heat, and oxygen to the tissues.
Because the functions of blood are many and complex, there are many disorders that require clinical care by a physician or other healthcare professional. These conditions include anemias, bleeding disorders, as well as cancers of the blood.
Hematology is the scientific study of blood and blood-forming tissues. A hematologist is a physician who specializes in the functions and disorders of the blood.

Gardening Articles: Landscaping :: Lawns, Ground Cover, & Wildflowers
Lawn Mower Savvy (page 2 of 5)
by Frank A. Viggiano and National Gardening
Rotary Power Mowers
Leonard B. Goodall from Warrensburg, Missouri, invented the push-type rotary mower in 1939. The most popular type of mower available today, it employs a gasoline engine or electric motor that spins a metal blade (or occasionally a heavy filament line) at constant speed. The engine is mounted on a deck supported by four adjustable wheels, all connected to a long handle that has controls for operation.
Push-type Mowers
Push-type machines cost about $100 less than self-propelled mowers you walk behind, and at least $500 less than mowers you ride. Push models come in two basic designs: those with the grass catcher (or bag) mounted at the rear, and those with it mounted on the side. Rear-bagging mowers hold more clippings than side-bagging mowers, and allow close trimming in whatever direction you are mowing. Side-bagging mowers are usually lighter and less expensive than rear-bagging mowers. They allow close trimming only on the opposite the bag. Regardless, a good side- or rear-bagger will literally vacuum the grass clippings and leave little, if any, on the ground. When shopping for a bagger, be sure to remove the bag from mower and replace it in order to evaluate the ease of the operation. Also check the size of the bag opening. A small opening clogs more easily and inhibits quick and easy dumping of the clippings.
Manufactures use steel, aluminum polycarbonate or Xenoy resin for the deck material. Steel costs less but rusts, shortening the life of the mower. Aluminum is a little heavier, but does not rust. Decks of modern plastics are virtually indestructible.
Finally, plastic catcher bags are generally more durable than cloth bags. Appropriate for lawns up to 1/2-acre size, prices for the standard mower range from about $150 to $400 for the side-bagging models, and about $200 to $800 for the rear-bagging mowers.
Self-propelled rotary mowers use a power drive mechanism. These machines require the operator to squeeze a bar or a lever to engage the mower. If the lever is released, the drive system and blade both stop. Some models abruptly start, while others move forward gradually. The latter is much easier to control. The self-propelling feature adds at least $100 to the cost of the mower. These require more horsepower--4 1/2 is ideal.
I prefer rear wheel drive over front wheel drive. The rear-wheel-drive machines move in a straight pattern. Front-wheel-drive units seem to pull the machine forward, creating a somewhat erratic movement that requires guidance.
in mulching mowers. Mulching mowers are the basic mower for most home lawns today. They burst on the scene about a decade ago, once American communities began to exhaust landfill space. Their capacity to mulch clippings so you can leave them in place is useful if you don't want to collect them.
Some manufacturers create mulching mowers by simply blocking all clipping exit channels. Mowers designed to be mulchers have a doughnut-saped deck housing with various baffles, and a specially shaped blade, all to ensure clippings are cut several times. Compared with mowers that bag clippings, these save time because you don't have to stop and empty the bag every few rows, and they can shred leaves into near-invisible pieces along with the grass. Also, they are safer because there is no avenue for discharge of a rock from the side or rear of the machine.
Mulching mowers save resources. Lawns cut with mulchers need less fertilizer. Also, you consume less landfill space by not disposing of clippings. On the downside, mulching mowers work less well on wet or overly tall grass compared with nonmulching rotaries, and the cutting blade must be sharp. Mulching mowers also require somewhat more powerful engines, at least four horsepower.
Some mulching mowers only mulch; others allow the option of bagging clippings. Cost ranges between $250 and $550. Electric mulchers are available ($400), as are riding mowers that mulch clippings ($1,000 to $2,000).

ZF-9382: Wrong Zend_View encoding default in Zend_View: Options section
In Option section within Zend_View reference guide chapter it was defined that the default value for the encoding property is ISO-8859-1. However, in the Zend\View\Abstract.php class in line 115 the default value is UTF-8.
Stumbled upon this one today as well after figuring out Zend_Filter_HtmlEntities changed its encoding to UTF-8. After many attempts to find a fix I tried setting the encoding of the view to ISO-8859-1 and after that it all again worked like it was supposed to.
Please fix the docs, it's also wrongfully documented in 1.9.7. Encoding problems are a true nightmare.

Casey's business model is the pot-luck dinner
Published: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 12:55 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 12:55 p.m.
Few things in life can transport us to another time and place like food can. If food is the conduit to the past, of family gatherings and precious memories, then Larry Casey is the captain. With his family-owned and operated restaurant Casey's Buffet at 5559 Oleander Drive, Casey's goal is to deliver a beloved moment in time with what one loyal customer calls his "memory food."
Casey's Buffet
Where: 5559 Oleander Drive
When: The restaurant, which opened in 2005, is open 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday,
11 a.m.-8 p.m. Sundays.
Who: Larry Casey is 46, and his hometown is New Bern. His wife, Gena, is 39 and is from Wilmington. Both have worked in restaurants for years, learning all aspects of the business 'from the kitchen to the cash register.' They have four children, Lauren, 23; Hunter, 20; Owen, 14; and Arliss, 2.
More info: Call Casey's at 798-2913
Q. What does Casey's slogan, "Miss ya Mama's cookin' ... Come home to Casey's," mean to you?
A. I try to cook like my mom and my grandma are coming to dinner. My culinary DNA is Southern soul cooking – the stuff I ate when I was a kid. Some of my best memories were around food – the attitude of gratitude. Country cooking and soul food comes from poor immigrants, slaves and sharecroppers having to use all they could and it's important to me to keep some of that alive. It's like Thanksgiving everyday here.
Q. How do you compete in a restaurant-heavy area?
A. For years I thought you had to compete, but you don't compete, I create. I do what's right for my clientele. One of my clients calls it memory food – it brings back memories from when he grew up.
Q. What can customers find on your menu?
A. We have the staples every day. And we have certain specials every day. Quite often we do different items like cabbage casserole, and every now and then we do clam chowder and squash casserole. We like to switch it up like a pot luck dinner or a church homecoming.
Q. How do you respond to those who say that your food is unhealthy?
A. Southern food gets a bad rap. It's better for you than a lot of fast food. We use a lot of vegetables, we have like 20 vegetables and good meats. You can find something to eat at Casey's – there is enough out there for everybody.
Q. Do you feature local products?
A. We try to get as many local products as possible. Our pork is local; our collards and turnip greens are local. We try to get as much locally as we can.
Q. What makes Casey's a success?
A. The restaurant business is like a marriage. You have to work at it all the time. There are all kinds of variables that go into a successful business. Taking care of customers and giving them quality products is essential. We go the extra mile and render more service than you pay for. It costs nothing to be nice to people. We want it to be a good experience for everybody.
Q. What's it like being married and business partners?
A. This is my dream but my wife, Gena – I couldn't do it without her. I'm a behind the scenes guy, where Gena is a people-person. She lifts people up.
Q. What is your dream for Casey's?
A. Right now, to make this place the best it can be. I am known for consistency, but I'd like to work on its authenticity. I want Casey's to be a destination place. If you come to Wilmington, you have to go to the battleship, to the beach and to Casey's Buffet.

'Dogs Finish in Top 15; Ly Ties for 12th
The Fresno State women's golf team competed in the third and final round of the Anuenue Spring Break Classic to finish in 12th place.
'Dogs Tied for Tenth
The Fresno State women's golf team teed off another day in paradise to sit in a tie for 10th place.
Last updated: Jan. 17, 2013
In her ninth season as the head coach of the Fresno State women's golf team, Angie Cates-Moore has established a standard of excellence both on and off the course. Cates-Moore has led her team to a WAC Championship, 39 top-five finishes, including placing first on seven occasions, and was twice named WAC Coach of the Year. In the classroom, the program has produced 25 Academic All-WAC honors, 12 of which came in the past two seasons, and 17 All-American Scholars.
Coach Cates-Moore has been with the program since its start in 2004 and has taken it to new heights in the short amount of time. The program drew attention during the 2007-08 season by winning the WAC Championship and advancing to the NCAA West Regional.
Last season, Cates-Moore guided the squad to a third place finish at the WAC Championship. She also coached Freshmen Madchen Ly to a first team All-WAC selection as well as Louisa Lies and Christine Uhalde to a second-team All-WAC selection. With the addition of these selections, the Bulldogs have earned 14 All-WAC honors.
Cates-Moore saw her team steadily improve over the 2009-10 season which was highlighted by senior Hali Coppin claiming the WAC individual title along with being named to the All-WAC first-team. Under Cates-Moore, the 2008-09 squad placed third at the WAC Championship for their third top-three finish in five seasons.
During the team's historic season in 2007-08, Cates-Moore guided her team to its first NCAA West Regional bid where they finished in 18th place at Lincoln Hills Golf Clubin Northern California. Laura Luethke was named first-team All-WAC for the fourth consecutive year as well as the WAC Player of the Year. She also took home the individual title at the WAC Championship and Cates-Moore earned her second WAC Coach of the Year honor.
Coach Cates-Moore has led her teams to seven tournament titles, two of which were won at their annual Fresno State Lexus Classic in just three years after its inception.
Cates-Moore has proven her coaching abilities with her freshmen recruits continuing to make a big impact on her teams. For the 2005-06 season, her recruits added a huge boost to the program and helped rank Fresno State in the Top 25 for freshman class impact. Cates-Moore led 10 of her 12 players to earn a 3.0 GPA or better and were recognized at the Kiwanis Torch of Excellence. In 2012, Madchen Ly was named conference Freshman of the Year.
During Fresno State's inaugural 2004-05 season, Cates-Moore wasted no time striving for excellence as the women's golf team captured seven top-five finishes which include placing fourth at the WAC Championship. In addition to leading her team to two tournament titles, Cates-Moore was named the 2005 WAC Coach of the Year.
Under her watch, the Bulldogs were on the cusp of an NCAA berth as a first-year program. Cates-Moore coached then-freshman Laura Luethke to a sixth-place finish at the NCAA Western Regional as well as three individual tournament titles. Her team again excelled in the classroom, as seven of her golfers were named Fresno State Scholar-Athletes and four earned WAC Scholar-Athletes honors.
Before joining the Bulldogs, Cates-Moore served as an assistant coach for both the men's and women's golf teams at Oregon State. While at Oregon State, she helped both the men's and women's teams advance to the 2003 NCAA Regional Championships. She served as the tournament director for the 2003 Women's and the 2002 Men's Pac-10 Championship tournaments. She coordinated team practices, recruiting and travel in addition to directing the academic programs, camps and clinics for both teams. Cates-Moore also assisted with scheduling and budget development and organized fundraising projects.
A native of Dallas, Cates-Moore played at Washington State where she was a stellar student-athlete, earning All-American Scholar-Athlete honors three times. She represented the Pac-12 on an All-Star team that toured Asia and was named a team captain for the Cougars as a senior. An accomplished player, Cates-Moore won the Seattle City Amateur and Washington State Amateur Championships. Subsequently, she was granted a sponsor's exemption to play in the LPGA Safeco Classic in Seattle that same year. She played professionally from 2000-03 on the Challenge and Future Tours, claiming second place in the Telluride Classic.
Following graduation, Cates-Moore worked for three years at The Golf Channel as an associate producer. She conducted interviews with players from the PGA, LPGA, Nationwide and Championship Tours, in addition to producing features and working on live-television golf broadcasts.
Cates-Moore earned a bachelor's degree in communication with an emphasis in broadcast news from Washington State's Edward R. Murrow School of Communication in 1998.
She is married to Travis Moore, the head golf professional at San Joaquin Country Club, and they have a daughter, Addison.

Akron Holds Off Men's Basketball 62-58
Down by as many as nine points in the first half, Princeton rallied to twice take the lead in the second half, each time by a point, but the Akron men's basketball team got the win, 62-58 Sunday night in Ohio.
Princeton fell to 5-7 with the loss, while Akron is now 8-4. The Tigers will play again Saturday at noon at Elon in their final pre-Ivy League contest.
Denton Koon led Princeton with 16 points while Ian Hummer added 13 points, a game-high nine rebounds and seven assists.
Akron's largest lead was at 22-13 with 12 minutes gone in the first half, but Princeton fought back to tie on a half-closing 14-5 run capped with a Brendan Connolly bank shot in the period's closing seconds. The Tigers took a 45-44 lead on a Mack Darrow 3-pointer midway through the second half, and the team led again at 56-55 on a Hans Brase bucket with less than four minutes to go.
But that was the last time Princeton led. Akron held a one-point advantage at 59-58 entering the final minute, but back-to-back fouls on Akron's next possession renewed the shot clock enough to force the Tigers to foul and send Akron to the free throw line. The Zips did their part, making their next three from the stripe to ice it.
Postgame Notes
• Ian Hummer's 13 points moved him closer to Bob Scrabis '89, who is in seventh place on the Princeton career scoring list at 1,365 points. Hummer is now at 1,353 points.
• Akron was Princeton's third MAC opponent of the season, all on the road. The Tigers won at Buffalo to start the season and won at Kent State on Dec. 1.
• This was the first meeting between Akron and Princeton.
• Hummer threatened a triple-double with 13 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. He had four helpers at the half.
• Akron attempted a season-low 13 3-pointers, while Princeton's nine tries from beyond the arc were the second-lowest total of the season.
• All 48 of Akron's points that were not 3-pointers (two, for six points) or free throws (eight) were in the paint. Zeke Marshall, the team's leading scorer on the season at 13.3 ppg, had a lot to do with that by going 7 of 7 from the field.
• Princeton has shot better than 40 percent from the field in each of its last six games.
• Akron's .531 shooting clip was the second best for a Princeton opponent this season after Northeastern shot .575 on Nov. 13.
• Princeton won the rebounding battle for the third straight game, a season-best streak.
• Denton Koon continued being a key factor on offense, scoring in double digits for the third straight game, the first time the sophomore has had such a streak at Princeton.
• Four of Mack Darrow's eight 3-pointers on the season have come in the last two games, as have 10 of his 23 rebounds and 18 of his 41 points.
• Hans Brase scored in double digits for the third straight game, the first time at Princeton that the freshman has had such a streak.
• Akron is now 110-17 at home under ninth-season head coach Keith Dambrot.
• Ian Hummer tied a career high with seven assists. He also tied a season high with nine rebounds.
