Aside from powering some of this holiday season's most
impressive games and providing playback of high-definition movies, the Cell Broadband
Engine is also exceptionally adept at medical and scientific applications
requiring massive amounts of floating-point computational power.
Since joining Stanford University's Folding@home
program in March, the PlayStation 3 has led
all processors in sheer productivity numbers.
It should come as no surprise that Sony announced this week that PlayStation 3
consoles all over the world have helped the Folding@home project to reach a
petaflop, a milestone never before reached on a distributed computing network.
"The recent inclusion of PS3 as part of the Folding@home program has
afforded our research group with computing power that goes far beyond what we
initially hoped," said Vijay Pande, Associate Professor of Chemistry at
Stanford University and Folding@home project lead. "Thanks to PS3, we are
now essentially able to fast-forward several aspects of our research by a
decade, which will greatly help us make more discoveries and advancements in
our studies of several different diseases."
"When we introduced PS3, we knew its incredible processing power would
allow for a great deal of innovation and creativity," said Jack Tretton,
president and CEO of SCEA. "It's extremely rewarding to see that the
scientific community has found a way to harness PS3 technology for humanitarian
purposes and we continue to be amazed at what gamers and the Folding@home
community have been able to accomplish in such a short amount of time."
The Folding@home program runs simulations in protein folding, helping
scientists understand – and hopefully curing – diseases such as Alzheimer's,
Parkinson's and certain forms of cancer. That's not all the PS3's CPU is able
to do for the medical community, though, as the Cell Broadband Engine is also helping doctors at
Mayo Clinic with medical imaging.
quote: When it comes to pure performance though, the PS3's Cell Broadband Processor is still no match for ATI GPUs for protein folding. The GPUs on Folding@home sit at 41 current TFLOPS, which come from only 700 processors. If there were as many GPUs folding as there are PS3s on the network, it can be extrapolated that GPUs could reach 876 TFLOPS.
quote: What type of calculations the PS3 client is capable of running? The PS3 right now runs what are called implicit solvation calculations, including some simple ones (sigmodal dependent dielectric) and some more sophisticated ones (AGBNP, a type of Generalized Born method from Prof. Ron Levy's group at Rutgers). In this respect, the PS3 client is much like our GPU client. However, the PS3 client is more flexible, in that it can also run explicit solvent calculations as well, although not at the same speed increase relative to PC's. We are working to increase the speed of explicit solvent on the PS3 and would then run these calculations on the PS3 as well. In a nutshell, the PS3 takes the middle ground between GPU's (extreme speed, but at limited types of WU's) and CPU's (less speed, but more flexibility in types of WU's) .
quote: it's just a matter of how much time you need to accomplish that.

Dozens of people took to the streets of Philippi Saturday, waving small American flags and honking their car horns in support of local veterans.
The annual Veterans Walk, sponsored by American Legion Post 44 and the Ladies Auxiliary, was held at the Vietnam Veteran's Park.
This marked the fourth year for the event, and participant Kathern Findley once again turned out in support of those who served.

The Veterans Walk begins with the participants walking across the Philippi Covered Bridge and around the downtown area. The walkers all carried American flags. (The Inter-Mountain photo by Chrystal Kittle)
"It's just an amazing thing to be a part of," said Findley, who was attending the event for the third time.
Others took pause to honor those who served and to remember their fallen comrades.
Marvin Brown, PFC, said that it was a beautiful day for a walk.
"It's important to walk for the veterans to recognize and honor their hard work and what they have done," he said. "It's also to honor the POWs and those still missing."
Brown served from 1962-1965 in the Army and was stationed in Berlin during the Cold War.
Before participants began the walk, they paused for a moment of prayer by Brown, and then released red, white and blue balloons in memory of veterans who have passed away.
The walk took participants across the Philippi Covered Bridge, along the by-pass and back through town before returning to the park for refreshments.
As they walked, drivers blew horns and waved to show their support and appreciation for the veterans' service.
The cost to walk was $5, with the money going to raise money to pay for a meal for veterans on Veterans Day at Post 44.
Dorinda Hawker, president of the Ladies Auxiliary, said, "I don't feel that a veteran should have to pay for his lunch on Veterans Day."
As part of the fund raiser, the Ladies Auxiliary members are selling t-shirts designed by post member Bill Hawker. The shirts sell for $20. To purchase a shirt or for information, contact Dorinda Hawker at 457-2911.

A West Seneca man who suffered serious back injuries when he fell from a ladder in a 2007 workplace accident was awarded $5.2 million in damages this week.
Richard Piotrowski, 26, who worked as a maintenance aide at Seneca Health Care Center, fell to the floor after a misstep on a wobbly ladder, his attorneys said.
The jury concluded that McGuire Manor, owner of the West Seneca health care facility, violated workplace safety laws by providing Piotrowski an unsafe and poorly maintained ladder, according to his attorneys, Michael P. Stuermer and Richard P. Weisbeck Jr., of the Lipsitz Green Scime Cambria law firm,
The verdict followed a three-week long trial before State Supreme Court Justice Paula L. Feroleto.
Piotrowski had been instructed to paint a kitchen in the facility on Nov. 13, 2007. He fell as he descended the ladder.
Piotrowski underwent two surgeries and remains disabled, his lawyers said. He has not been cleared to return to work.
The jury found Piotrowski 60 percent responsible for the accident and the defendant 40 percent responsible, but the award is not reduced by Piotrowski's culpable conduct, Stuermer said.
Piotrowski's lawyers said they are pleased by the award, but McGuire Manor's defense lawyers may appeal.
"We respect the jury's verdict; however, we do not agree and are investigating an appeal," said attorney Meghann N. Roehl, of Damon Morey.

Erie County reports first type B flu case
Erie County's flu season is fading away ... slowly.
Only 32 flu cases were reported to the Erie County Department of Health for the week ending Feb. 22, continuing a five-week downward trend. Two provisional cases were reported this week through today at 10 a.m. to bring the seasonal total to 645.
The first type B flu case was reported in Erie County last week. The county usually sees type B cases near the end of flu season, though it doesn't mean the season will end in the next couple of weeks, said Charlotte Berringer, R.N., director of community health for the county Health Department.
"Oh, I doubt it," Berringer said. "I expect to see a cluster of type Bs before flu season runs out. Though with flu, you never know."
Just over 12 percent of all Erie County residents with flu have required hospitalization. About 54 percent of those hospitalized are 50 and older, though that age group makes up just 29 percent of all reported flu cases.

After withdrawing his support of the $5 permissive tax on registered vehicles last week, Commissioner Fred Zoeller sought alternative methods to generate money to improve safety and economic development in Seneca County, at a Seneca Regional Planning Commission Highway and Transportation Committee meeting Thursday morning.
"As the facts unfolded," said Zoeller, who is the chairman of the highway and transportation committee, "and my hat's off to my fellow commissioners for pointing it out to me and once I realized the $5 permissive tax really was not the fairest way to go because it didn't uniformly affect everyone in the county with that in mind, I had to pull my support away from that."
Zoeller recommended instating two other $5 permissive taxes the county is allowed to enact, stating everyone in the county would contribute to the tax and the county, townships and municipalities all would receive money from it.
"Now everyone pays in, but everyone gets some money out of it," he said. "And it's not geared toward (SR) 53, it's geared toward all county roads."
He said the two $5 taxes would generate $400,000 for the county, $53,000 for municipalities and $120,000 for townships annually, according to the 2009 census.
Zoeller said the county cannot use the money from the permissive taxes to make repairs on state roads, but can make improvements to county roads that intersect state routes, which could be used as the county's contribution toward ODOT projects on state roads.
Townships and municipalities would also get money from the taxes to make repairs on their streets.
County Engineer Mark Zimmerman would be in charge of the funds, Zoeller said.
"Nobody's going to like a tax, but I think it's much clearer," he said. "When I look at the objections (to the permissive tax) that we've had in the past one of the objections is it's not fair, not everyone's paying for it. And I absolutely agree with that; I can't deny that objection. The other one is we're dealing strictly with (SR) 53 and we're not dealing with other issues in the county. This tax resolves both of those issues there."
Zoeller said he will petition commissioners to hold an informational meeting and then commissioners will have two public hearings on the permissive taxes.
"You still have my vow that even though we can't say this is for four years, I will assure you at the end of my term, I will vote to eliminate the tax," he said.
Under the original $5 permissive tax Zoeller proposed - allowed by Ohio Revised Code 4504.02 - 100 percent of the money would go to the county and people living in many municipalities would not be required to pay, due to a tax already imposed by city and village governments.
Zoeller recommended instating the two other permissive tax options allowed under ORC 4504.15 and ORC 4504.16.
If the county approved the tax allowed under ORC 4504.15, 50 percent of the money generated from registered vehicles in municipalities would go to the county and the other half would go to municipalities. And 30 percent of the money from vehicles registered in townships would go to the township, and the county would get 70 percent.
People in Fostoria would not pay this tax due to existing permissive taxes.
If the county approved the permissive tax allowed by ORC 4504.16, the county would get 100 percent of the money generated from vehicles registered in municipalities. And for vehicles registered in townships, 30 percent of the money from the permissive tax would go to townships, and the county would receive 70 percent.
Permissive taxes already in place for townships and municipalities will not be affected, Zoeller said.
The Seneca Regional Planning Commission Highway and Transportation Committee approved supporting the two $5 permissive taxes by a vote of 9-0 with one abstention. Seneca County Auditor Julie Adkins abstained, saying it was her first meeting on the panel.
Seneca Industrial and Economic Development Corp. President and CEO Rich Focht, who is a member of the committee, said he supports the two $5 taxes.
"There's more advantages to $10," Focht said. "There's more money, there's more money to townships and municipalities, it increases our leverage. I don't think there's any alternative. I think we can all agree that we need the money, that we have issues."
"I tried to go as minimal as I could, that's why I supported the $5 one," Zoeller said. "As it unfolded, the regulations that were involved with the $5 tax - it just wasn't fair."

Early usage of the term pomo dates from 1991 when Pomo Afro Homo, an African American gay theatrical collective, premiered "Fierce Love" at Josie's in San Francisco's Castro district. "Pomo" is short for post-modern, plus "Afro" plus "Homo" was about as avant guard as you could get in those dark days. "Fierce Love" was a seminal play during the height of the AIDS epidemic and it dramatised a number of issues about masculinity and sexuality that were very difficult in the community at the time. Important derivation.

Heavy Metal is by far a better form of music than anything going today. Although some of today's "nu metal" bands have a bit of talent, none compare to metal gods of years past such as Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Slayer, Pantera, Metallica (as in pre 1990's Selloutica), and even Alice in Chains on Facelift. This was angry music with a purpose, not just angry for the sake of selling records.

If bluegrass is the point at which jazz rhythms, blues inflections, Scotch-Irish fiddle tunes, and Appalachian ballads intersect, The Other Side of the Mountain is the place where all of those influences are tossed into the air and reassembled on their way down. While the tracks on this illuminating new collection draw from bluegrass music in different ways, they have in common is the same adventurous spirit that was present at the founding of bluegrass music -- a spirit of innovation as well as the freedom of not being limited by any one musical source.
In its nearly fifteen years of existence, Compass Records has emerged as a premier outlet for unfettered bluegrass explorations. Founded in 1995 by Grammy-winning banjoist Alison Brown and bassist/producer Garry West, Compass's willingness and flexibility – stemming from it being artist-owned – has made it a haven for creative musicians of all genres. In addition to being an exquisite document of trends in modern bluegrass, The Other Side of the Mountain doubles as testament to Compass's unflagging commitment to the artistic visionaries at the cutting edge of bluegrass.
Features performances by Alison Brown (w/Vince Gill), Victor Wooten (w/Bela Fleck), Drew Emmitt & Peter Rowan, Matt Flinner, David Grier, Todd Phillips, NewGrange (Tim O'Brien, Mike Marshall, Darol Anger, Todd Phillips, Philip Aaberg, and Alison Brown) and more.

So Lance Armstrong has admitted that his career was a litany of lies and cheating, a fact that should have surprised no one. In an emotionless interview with Oprah Winfrey, the seven-time Tour de France winner admitted the bare minimum, revealing little of how he cheated, who helped him and who else cheated. It was one more chapter in a life that has always been All About Lance. Even his Livestrong cancer charity is so intertwined with the Armstrong persona that it has been used to help deflect suspicions about doping.
The cynical questions (and Armstrong has earned that cynicism) that arise after the Oprah interview is why now, and what's his angle? It's hard not to be skeptical of his motives now when years of Armstrong's sincere denials that he doped are available on YouTube.
However, is he's truly remorseful, then he has to come clean and reveal everything he knows about doping. Testifying under oath before the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency would be a good place to start. Armstrong can still be a force for good, but his interview with Oprah was only the first step.
In a move straight from the old days, General Motors' Town of Tonawanda engine plant is hiring six electrician journeymen "off the streets." Against a dismal jobs markets report for Buffalo and Rochester, this ranks among the best possible news for those workers, the plant and area.
Outside hiring hasn't occurred since the 1980s. The new economic norm involved transferring surplus workers from other plants to fill positions. But because of two new engine lines representing a combined investment of $825 million, the plant is in need of a handful of workers. Fast.
And these are good-paying jobs, at $32.73 per hour. It's certainly nice to hear about the desperate need for skilled trades workers right here in our own back yard. Let's hope it's only the beginning.
Bummer. Now we'll never have a Death Star.
President Obama last week shot down a completely logical demand, delivered via a petition, that the United States begin building a Death Star – think "Star Wars" – by 2016.
The refusal was based on the usual mealy mouthed political excuses: At an estimated cost of only $850 quadrillion, it would make reducing the federal budget deficit too hard. And the Obama administration doesn't agree with blowing up other planets. More persuasive, though, was the design issue: "Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?"
All right, so that's a good point. But it stinks anyway.

Lovebirds Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are nesting.
The couple, who were first linked late last year, "bought a beautiful country home" in Bedford, N.Y., a source tells PEOPLE.
And it's not too shabby. "The house cost more than $2 million," the source said of the property.
The actors, who starred together in the super-hero film The Green Lantern, have been spotted in Boston, New York City and New Orleans but seem to have found the perfect place for settling down.
They've been seen around town doing everything from horseback riding, to buying chocolate milk and dining at the Bedford Post Inn.

The University at Buffalo baseball team scored five times in the bottom of the ninth to overcome a 4-0 deficit and surprise Central Michigan, 5-4, on Saturday at Monroe Community College in Rochester. It was UB's Mid-American Conference season opener. The game was played at Monroe because it has an artifical turf surface.
Alex Baldock hit the walk-off double to drive in Jason Kanzler, after Kanzler had just hit a three-run double to tie the game. Left handed Ben Hartz (2-0) picked up the win in relief.
It was the first time since 2002 UB opened its conference schedule with a win.
WOMEN'S TRACK: Buffalo State broke the school record in the 4x400 relay by nearly 9 seconds at the Emory Invitational in Atlanta. Sasa Vann, Jazmin Dunham, Sasha Henry and Tara Murphy placed second in 3:57.15 to eclipse the previous record from 2007 of 4:06.92.
SWIMMING: The University at Buffalo's Brittney Kuras broke her own school record in the 100 freestyle prelims at the NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships in Indianapolis. Kuras set the mark in winning her heat in 48.79 seconds to finish 19th overall.
MEN'S LACROSSE: Medaille's Brock Levick scored a school-record 10 goals and became the Mavs' career points leader in a 25-1 win in a nonleague game played in the snow at Franciscan in Steubenville, Ohio. The junior attack now has 178 points, topping the 176 by David Bennett since 2009.

5 Ingredients for the Perfect Proposal
There's no denying it — the first snow has fallen in the northeast, Thanksgiving has come and gone and Christmas decorations have been up for a while now. Proposal season is upon us! *Cue the excitement.*
So for this season, we thought we'd help all those guys and gals out there looking to propose with some tips from an expert in the biz of making dreams come true. Enter Sarah Pease, The Proposal Planner™ from Brilliant Event Planning. We asked Pease what she thought were the five most important elements of a perfect proposal.
1. It has to be thoughtful and personal. Pease recommends that when you first start brainstorming ideas to "write down a list of anything your partner loves — from music to food, travel locations to fashion designers — and using that as a jumping off point for inspiration."
2. There should be an element of surprise. If it's too predictable, it ruins the excitement. And, "more than 75% of women agree that the 'surprise factor' is important in a marriage proposal."
3. Document the moment. "You should document the proposal, either with a hidden photographer or by jotting down notes in a journal immediately afterwards." No matter what you think, it will go by in a flash, so having photos or a note will help when you want to look back on the moment.
4. Details, details, details! The smallest thing can make a proposal memorable. "I guide each client through a detailed Q&A session to help us learn as much as we possibly can about their unique love story. Their proposal design is inspired by what we learn in that session, along with photos and other mementos that they provide to us. All of this is designed to draw out even the the tiniest details about their significant other." In other words, from knowing your partners favorite vintage of wine, to a favorite pet when they were young and even remembering what they were wearing on your first date, can all play into planning a tear-jerking, jaw-dropping marriage proposal.
5. Prepare for changes. When it comes to planning something so special, you should always prepare for the worst. "What if there's bad traffic? What if it rains? What if she/he has to work late? Etc. When it comes to proposals, every great story requires some preparation."
So, now you have it, folks. Go forth and plan your very own perfect proposal. And tell us how it happens here!

Does the recent boom in fracking hurt the fight against climate change?
The belief that we cannot massively affect our environment is arrogant at best. If you don't think mankind can make the earth uninhabitable, try moving to Chernobyl; perhaps just invest in real estate, I'm sure you will get your money back out of it in several thousand years when it becomes inhabitable again.

Lifetime�went�behind the�Bell�on Monday�and�unveiled�what�(allegedly) happened�behind the cameras�of our favorite childhood sitcom. But instead of Zack�Morris running the show, this time it was all about Screech — and the story from outcast�Dustin Diamond's�perspective.
The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story,�based on Diamond's�tell-all memoir, began with the gang --�Dylan Everett�as�Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Sam Kindseth as Diamond,�Tiera Skovbye�as�Elizabeth Berkley, Julian Works as�Mario Lopez, Alyssa Lynch as�Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, and Taylor Russell McKenzie as�Lark Voorhies�— pulling up to their first mall tour unaware their lives were about to change. Cut to four months prior when just Gosselaar, Voorhies and Diamond�were cast for�Good Morning Miss Bliss, a Disney sitcom that was soon axed. The two hours would take viewers through the revamping of the show all the way until the final day of filming in 1993.
'90s shows that need to make a comeback
But while we had hoped for more juicy and gossipy tidbits about one of television's most iconic shows, instead�viewers�got a sad story of a kid who just wanted to fit in and a cheesy made-for-TV movie that seemed more parody than biopic. And because Diamond has admitted the�memoir was mostly made up, who knows how much was true tales vs. wishful thinking.
Still, the movie got some details right, even when others were�obviously wrong. (Um, why was Gosselaar, not in character, doing a "time-out"?) Here are�the�eight favorite stories we learned from�The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story.
1.�The characters changed after casting�
When casting began for more kids following the cancellation of�Miss Bliss, both Berkley and Thiessen were up for Kelly. NBC liked them both and created Jessie for Berkley. (Jennie Garth, meanwhile, was passed on�for the role.) Voorhies was also supposed to be a "Jewish American Princess" and Lopez Italian. No word on why�Miss Bliss�students Mikey (Max Battimo) and Nikki (Heather Hopper) didn't make the cut over to�Bell. Zack was always supposed to be the all-American blonde boy, so a half-Indonesian Gosselaar had to get his hair�from a bottle!
Page 2 of 3 - Hollywood's hottest young stars
2.�The series nearly got canned for a second time
First, Disney cancelled�Good Morning Miss Bliss. Then, NBC executive Brandon Tartikoff restructured the series to focus on the kids rather than the teacher and move it to a cool California location. The revamped version didn't fare much better and after a terrible review, the NBC sitcom continued to get poor ratings. But overnight word caught on, ratings spiked, and the series was a bonafide hit.
3.�Hormones were in the air
It seemed that Voorhies and Gosselaar locked eyes from that first casting call and were an item almost immediately. But the actress' strict religious background kept them from doing much off the set and when Gosselaar's and Thiessen's characters had to kiss (which, of course, required practice), it became more of a love triangle. Diamond,�for his part,�had his first kiss when his character had to smooch Violet (Tori Spelling) but when Diamond made moves off-camera she just wanted to meet Mark.
4.�Diamond was the outcast
It's no secret Diamond wasn't well-liked, but it seemed that it was more of an age issue than anything else. Thiessen didn't appreciate his pranks, he couldn't do as many push-ups as Lopez, kids on the street bullied him. In one of the final scenes he summed it up best by saying to Gosselaar, "We've played best friends for five years and this is maybe the longest conversation we've ever had."
Must-see new fall shows
5.�The kids wanted more dramatic storylines�
After an encounter with a girl who dumped her boyfriend because Kelly did, Thiessen and Berkley asked for more series plots with real issues. Berkley got her wish when she scored the famous "I'm so scared" caffeine pill addiction episode and even asked to talk to real life addicts!
6.�Diamond began drinking�
After meeting an extra who gave him his first swig, Diamond began to drink. It got so out of hand that he got too wasted at an appearance in South Carolina, and was threatened to be cut from the show by creator Peter Engel. His partying — and new best friend — would ultimately come back to bite him when the friend filmed him smoking weed and later blackmailed Diamond�for not getting him a bigger part.
7.�Dustin and Screech were basically the same person
Page 3 of 3 - Art imitated life when Screech�was devastated�that his best friend Zack was kissing the girl of his dreams. Diamond, it seemed, couldn't get any lovin' like his fellow castmates. And just like Screech, the Dustin of the movie also had�bizarre daydreams�where he was a hunk.
8.�The mystery of their second senior year (and Tori) explained�
The reason Jessie and Kelly�were�replaced by bad girl Tori,�only to later return,�was due to contract issues. Initially,�the series was supposed to go just four seasons, but when NBC wanted a fifth, Thiessen and Berkley exited. They later reunited for the graduation episode (which, by the way, they actually filmed�before�leaving the series not after like the movie depicted.) And just as an exec would tell Engel on the final day of filming, "This is far from the end of�Saved by the Bell."�Everyone�knows�Thiessen did ultimately return for�The College Years�and�Zack and Kelly's Wedding.
What did you think of�The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story?
Whoa! See where the�Blossom�cast is now:

having the rest of the 10 months off, kicking back, traveling and enjoying
Regardless of what industry you currently work or
are engaged in, whether it be the service-industry, computers, technology,
etc..., or a licensed truck driver, the question you have to ask yourself is:
Why work 40-60 hours a week, 9-11 months
out of the year, when you can work less and make an equal amount or greater in
only 2 months?
The Perks - An ideal job for
Because of the high turnover rate in the Ice Road
Trucking Industry, an increasing number of transport companies are offering an
array of benefits to retain their driver's, such as providing: life, accident or
injury insurance; medical and dental coverage; paid time for training,

Altoona's T.J. Brandt rolled his ankle Tuesday night in practice, and thoughts of not going for his fourth District 6 Class AAA Tournament title or being able to wrestle in the postseason entered his thoughts.
"I was [worried] Tuesday," Brandt said laughing, "but I was working with Dan McCallister at Drayer, and he helped me out a lot."
As it turned out, there was no need to worry for at least one night about his ankle because he wasn't on the mat for very long Friday night at the Altoona Fieldhouse in his 138-pound quarterfinal bout against Hollidaysburg's Luciano Toscano.

Hollidaysburg's Darren Bowser tries to escape the grasp of Bellefonte's Aaron?Witherite at 113.
Brandt (24-3) hit a quick ankle pick, slipped in a half nelson, put Toscano on his back and pinned him in 7 seconds.
"I felt [the pinning combination]," said Brandt, who faces Mifflin County's Kevin Bair (12-11) in the semis. "I was just out there wrestling. I hit it, and the opportunity presented itself."
Brandt will be joined by teammates D.J. Hollingshead (132), Markief Knode (160), Trent Kephart (182), Mante Barnes (195) and Austin Rosenberry (285) in the semifinals, which will be wrestled along with a round of consolations at 11 a.m.
"Kind of mixed emotions is the best way to describe it," Altoona coach Joel Gilbert said. "Some of our guys went out and did the job and got it done quickly. We had four guys who got it done pretty quickly, and we had two guys who took the hard road to go. We're going to have to wrestle a lot better tomorrow to achieve our goal of getting those guys into the finals."
P-O will also have six in the semifinals in second-seeded Brian Evans (126), Caleb Shively (138), Scott Yarger (145), second-seeded Jay Prentice (170), Dennis Lumadue (182) and Nick Gray (220).
"We didn't wrestle well in a lot of matches," P-O coach Tim McCamley said. "There just didn't seem like there was a lot of enthusiasm, and just not out of my guys. We just need a little more fire. We lost two matches [Bryan Descavish at 120 and Dallas Kephart at 132] by one point, and those are two we expected to get through."
Hollidaysburg pushed four through in top-seeded Damian Huff (106), Calob Walls (152), Tevin Pulcine (195) and second-seeded Matt Barton (285). The Golden Tigers could have had another, but sixth-seeded Jacob Wolk dropped a 3-2 decision to BEA's Mitchell Taylor at 160. The deciding point was a penalty point for interlocking.
"We took a bad call in the 160-pound match," Hollidaysburg coach Mike Moore said. "That was a pretty important match. I didn't see the locking hands. I looked at the video, and I didn't see it on the video either. Other than that, I thought our kids wrestled hard. We'll keep plugging away tomorrow."
Mifflin County leads the team race by seven points, 68-61, over Central Mountain. The Huskies have 11 semifinalists, and the Wildcats have nine. Bellefonte (48.5), Bald Eagle Area (47), Altoona (43.5), P-O (40) and Hollidaysburg (29) follow in the top seven of the nine-team tournament. Only one round was wrestled Friday night because of multiple scratches in the preliminary round.
The top-seeded Hollingshead (29-3) needed only 1:09 to put away Johnstown's Rodney Hall and earn a semifinal matchup with Bald Eagle Area's Clint McCaslin, who beat Kephart, 6-5.
The second-seeded Knode (21-8) went the distance in a 5-1 win over Mifflin County's Darion Pierce. Knode faces BEA's Mitchell Taylor (12-11) in the semis.
"I would have liked to have seen him score a few more points out there," Gilbert said, "but it was a victory."
The second-seeded Barnes (24-5) rolled to a 16-0 technical fall over Bellefonte freshman Tim Benford in 2:00. He'll face Mifflin County's Drew Hannon (1-3), whose pin of Central Mountain's Loc Long was his first win of the season.
Prentice got a scare in the quarters when Mifflin County's seventh-seeded Keith Corson (5-15) took him down to his back in the second period, but the Mountie senior fought back to win, 8-7.
"He was doing everything he could offensively," McCamley said, "and he tried to finish up above, and he got cemented. He learned a lesson, and you only have to win by one."
The second-seeded Evans and Shively rolled with a pin and a major decision, respectively.
The story of the night for P-O was arguably Yarger (4-4), an off-and-on starter who moved up from 132 to 145 when Andrew Greenawalt was lose due to a knee injury. Underweight, the fifth-seeded Yarger beat Altoona's Kyler Bender, 12-5, to earn a semifinal berth against Mifflin County's top-seeded Brandon Wilson (18-5).
"He called me from the motel and said 'I have to gain some weight. I'm too far under,'" McCamley said. "He weighed 133 1/2 pounds, and that was this afternoon at about 2.
"So, I said 'Okay, let's head for the Burger King.' So, he ended up eating about 2 pounds of food just to be heavy enough to wrestle 145. He's really giving up a lot of size, and he said 'Those guys are really strong.' He's got a lot of heart, and that's the kind of kid you're looking for."
Huff (19-2) advanced by building a 16-3 lead on Central Mountain's Ryan Moore, tilting him three times, before slipping in a half and pinning him in 2:46. Huff will face Bald Eagle Area's Coby Bainey (14-11) in the semifinals.
Barton pinned Johnstown's Noah Eckenrode in 19 seconds, and he'll face Rosenberry, a 7-2 winner over Central Mountain's Bryce Hanley, in the semis.
Pulcine, who entered with a 4-10 record, reached the semis with a pin of State College's Joaquin Alavarez in 3:43. Pulcine will have a tougher task today against BEA's top-seeded Aaron Varner (24-3).
"He's come a long way during the course of the season," Moore said. "He's only wrestled for a year, and he's doing some really nice things out there for being a first-year wrestler. We're excited about him."
Notes: The third and fifth-place consolation finals are scheduled for 5 p.m., and the championship finals will follow at 7. ... Only two mats were used Friday, but three will be used today. ... The top four qualify for the Northwest Regional.

To over-hype something to the point of building expectations that the final product will never be able to fufill. The word comes from Peter Molyneux who is known to speak candidly about games he is working on, in all cases never truly able to deliver on his word.
After reading all those reviews of this movie, I feel totally molyneux'd after actually seeing it.

Thanks for the reports, Nadine. With them, I can actually (somewhat) pretend that I'm watching the competition live.
Group 2 waiting their turn to warm-up.
Go ASHLEY, MAO and CAROLINE! I also love AGNES in the short. Bring it girls!
Sorry I can't recall her music, but she did the best.
Yun from KOR did a nice opening 3S/2T, sat down on the 3F, and singled the 2A (also came down on 2feet). But nice spinner.
Her music was Rondo Caprissio?
Venzon from PHI opened with a nice 2F, 3S/2T, fall on 2A, but her music "Dragons" was peppy (reminiscent of 1920's flapper music).
And I love her dress full of swarvoski crystals, lots of personality, shaking her shoulders.
Yay! Sandra made it to the freeskate. I hope I can find her video up on youtube or somewhere. I am wondering how the Thai girls will do compared to each other.
Wang from TPE skated to Maria Butyrskaya's "Otonal"; nice opening 3/2, fall on 3F, big 2A, and okay spinner (not very flexible in the back). Good job.
ps: during warmup I recall the announcer saying she models figure skating apparel. (:^)
Chindasook from THA opened with a nice 3/2, 2A, but popped her 3S (no transitions, just long entries going into them). She skated to "The Chairman's Waltz", one of her coaches is Frank Carroll.

OTTAWA – The Buffalo Sabres have done a lot of talking behind closed doors the last few days. But what's the old adage? Talk is cheap.
The Sabres' ultra-loose defensive ways got tightened up some Tuesday night but there were still just enough crucial mistakes to doom them to another loss.
Undisciplined penalties that ruined any normalcy for running forward lines. A pair of big coverage gaffes. Not much traffic in front of the opposing net to help the offense. Those were the issues in Buffalo's second loss here in a week, a 2-0 blanking at the hands of the Ottawa Senators before 18,429 in Scotiabank Place.
Craig Anderson, the NHL's top goalie, made 42 saves for his second shutout of the season as the Sabres dropped their second straight and put a merciful end to a crushing stretch of games to open the lockout-shortened season.
Both goals came late in the second period. The Senators opened the scoring at 15:20 on a short-handed goal by defenseman Erik Karlsson, the defending Norris Trophy winner. Erik Condra beat a trio of Sabres to a rebound and shoved it past Ryan Miller at 17:14 to put Ottawa into a two-goal advantage and that was that.
The Sabres played 14 times in the first 24 days of their 48-game schedule and have little to show for it. They are 5-8-1 for 11 points and sit 12th in the Eastern Conference. Now they get a two-day break but face home toughies Friday night against red-hot Boston and Sunday afternoon against Pittsburgh.
After a weekend that saw them yield 82 shots on goal in splitting games against the New York Islanders and Boston, the Sabres went into crisis mode when they arrived in the Canadian capital.
Struggling Tyler Myers was benched for those two games but the team continued to be dominated in puck possession. Myers returned Tuesday, playing a strong 21 minutes, after a series of meetings with coach Lindy Ruff and teammates, notably veteran Robyn Regehr.
"We did a better job overall," said Miller. "But doing better and not getting a win doesn't do a lot for us right now. We just have to regroup, find the stuff we did well and keep working on our game. We can't let too many more get away from us."
The Sabres had a season-high in shots on goal but simply didn't convert some good chances (Drew Stafford added four more shots to give him 40, tops among NHL players who are goal-less).
They gave up just seven shots in a first period that saw them finally garner a huge edge in possession time. A big problem, however, was the fact the Sabres were short-handed eight times. While they killed all eight, they were playing a man down for more than 13½ minutes.
Ten Sabres saw at least 3½ minutes of penalty-killing time. The top-line forwards (Cody Hodgson, Thomas Vanek and Jason Pominville) combined for more than 11 minutes on the PK.
"The key was the discipline side of things," said Steve Ott. "... Our best players are killing penalties. We need those guys with more energy in the third period."
Karlsson's short-handed goal was a killer. After a Christian Ehrhoff pass was intercepted at center ice, Milan Michalek carried the puck down left wing and Sabres rookie Marcus Foligno showed a lack of awareness in coverage. Foligno allowed Karlsson to come through the right circle unfettered. Major mistake. Ehrhoff couldn't step up on the play and Foligno lagged behind.
Karlsson tapped his stick on the ice to get his teammate's attention and Michalek found him with a perfect cross-rink pass to allow Karlsson to rifle a shot over Miller's glove. The Senators, coming off a shutout loss to Winnipeg, had their first goal in more than 121 minutes.
"They picked it off in the neutral zone and they turned back pretty quick," Foligno said. "I have to make a better effort to backcheck and put some heat on him. It's a tough play. I was kind of stuck at the blue line."
Ottawa made it 2-0 when Condra punched home a Sergei Gonchar rebound, bullrushing between Ott, Nathan Gerbe and Andrej Sekera to the spot.
"It was a little bit of a mad scramble," Ott said. "We probably wish we could have played it a little bit tighter in that situation."
The same could be said for a lot of areas. Better focus, cleaner effort, not much difference in the results.

Fifty kilometres north of Dublin on the N2, the village of SLANE grew up around Slane Castle, whose estate extends westwards from the large Gothic gate by the bridge over the River Boyne. The main entrance for visitors, however, is now round the back of the house, about a kilometre west of the village crossroads. The era's finest architects – Gandon, Wyatt and Johnston – constructed the castle, with its mock battlements and turrets, from 1785 onwards, while Capability Brown designed the grounds. A devastating fire struck in 1991, however, and it took until 2001 for the castle to open again, with its interior redesigned in largely contemporary style as a venue for conferences and society weddings. Consequently, the guided tour smacks a little of Hello magazine, though there are one or two points of architectural interest remaining, notably the lofty ballroom, with its ornate fan vaulting and an original carved wooden chandelier, which was built by Thomas Hopper for George IV's 1821 visit to his mistress, Lady Conyngham. The present Conyngham, Henry, Lord Mountcharles, is a friend of rock band U2, who lived here while recording The Unforgettable Fire in 1984, and mounts huge concerts in the grounds most summers.
From the main crossroads in the village, it's a fifteen-minute walk north up to the Hill of Slane, which affords views over rolling farmland to the Irish Sea at Drogheda and the Wicklow Mountains. Here, in 433, according to tradition, St Patrick lit the Paschal (Easter) Fire for the first time in Ireland, signalling the arrival of Christianity. In this he challenged the pagan Bealtaine fire on the Hill of Tara, 15km to the south, lit by the High King, Laoghaire, to celebrate the arrival of summer. Laoghaire was soon won over, however, and although the king did not take on the new religion himself, he allowed his subjects to be converted. These included St Earc, who became Patrick's great friend and follower and established a monastery here on the hill, which eventually evolved into a Franciscan house. Today you can see the extensive remains of its sixteenth-century church and fine bell tower, along with an associated college built around an open quadrangle.

Thursday, April 18, 2013
Albert Owens of Summerville, a student at the S.C. Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities, won a national award from the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards of 2013.
Albert won a Silver Medal in the Ceramics & Glass category for "Cove Negative." He formerly attended Ashley Ridge High School.
More than 230,000 submissions were received in diverse categories, including painting, sculpture, photography, fashion design, film and animation, and video game design, among others. From those initial submissions, 1,600 of the most talented and ambitious students in grades 7-12 schools were chosen to receive national medals. Albert is one of the seven national award winners in art named for South Carolina.
Students' works were blindly adjudicated, first locally through the 116 affiliates of the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, the presenting nonprofit of the awards, and then nationally by panels of judges comprised of renowned artists, authors, educators, and arts professionals. This year's list of jurors included Edwidge Danticat, Myla Goldberg, Kurt Andersen, Althea Harper, Red Grooms, and Andres Serrano. Works were judged on originality, technical skill, and the emergence of personal vision or voice. Teachers of national winners were also recognized with awards.

|Influence of Topological Spin Fluctuations on Charge Transport
Layered transition metal oxides are the focus of intense research efforts because they might clarify the superconducting mechanism of cuprate high-temperature superconductors (HTSCs). A case in point is NaxCoO2 with x = 0.7, which is a parent compound for a family of cobaltites that exhibits superconductivity. This class of materials is also thought to be ideal for detecting the long-sought resonating valence bond (RVB) state of matter proposed by Philip Anderson of Princeton University in 1973. Researchers from Princeton University and ALS are the first to use angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) to demonstrate the strongly electron correlated nature of this material and to provide evidence that charge transport is strongly influenced by topological spin frustration.
The family of sodium cobalt oxides or oxyhydrates (cobaltites) NaxCoO2 (with variable x) is similar to cuprate HTSCs. The parent compounds are Mott insulators, in which a strong electrostatic repulsion blocks charge transport; they have layered crystal structures with electronic two-dimensionality; and they can be chemically doped by altering the sodium concentration, thereby changing the electron concentration in the electronically active cobalt-oxygen layers. There is one very important difference, however. While the electronically active copper-oxygen planes in HTSCs have square symmetry, in cobaltites, the symmetry is triangular, a configuration that geometrically frustrates formation of the antiferromagnetically ordered Néel state present in HTSCs and results in a less well ordered "quantum spin liquid" state.
The interplay of charge and spin degrees of freedom is indeed exciting in cobaltites and leads to a bouquet of changing electronic properties with doping. With increasing sodium concentration, the material progresses from a paramagnetic metal that is superconducting at low-temperature for 1/4 < x 3/4.
The Princeton/ALS group performed a detailed investigation of low-energy electronic structure and charge dynamics of the parent cobaltite compound Na0.7CoO2 at ALS Beamlines 7.0.1 and 12.0.1. This technique is sensitive to an electron's quantum correlations because it directly probes the electron distribution function over a complete Brillouin zone (unit cell in momentum space) with good resolution.
ARPES spectra taken in the energy range of valence (loosely bound) electrons are in good agreement with the results of mean-field (first principles) calculations and map the dispersion (energy–momentum relationship) of several distinct bands. Most exciting, ARPES spectra also reveal an additional satellite feature centered at a much higher binding energy near 11 eV. Separation of this correlation satellite from the valence band gives an estimate of a strong on-site Coulomb repulsion (Hubbard U) between electrons of about 5 eV, which is in the same range as the Hubbard U for the cuprates and provides strong evidence for the highly correlated nature of electrons.
In addition, the researchers discovered a tiny feature (quasielectron) adjacent to the Fermi energy (zero binding energy) that was dwarfed by the presence of the valence band. This feature is essentially flat in momentum space with a dispersion less than 100 meV, which is a factor of 5 smaller than in cuprates and an order of magnitude below the mean-field (first principles) calculations. Accompanying the small bandwidth is a very weak nearest-neighbor single-particle hopping energy t of about 10 meV. That t is of the same order of magnitude as the spin exchange coupling J for this family implies that the charge dynamics are strongly perturbed by spin fluctuations.
Temperature-dependent ARPES measurements revealed that quantum coherent quasielectrons exist only at low temperatures and linearly disappear as their motion becomes incoherent beyond 150 K. This value, which is well below the decoherence temperature of tens of thousands of degrees in conventional metals, is of the order of t and J, making geometrical frustration of antiferromagnetic interactions in triangular cobalt lattice planes the leading cause of quasielectron's quantum decoherence.
