Linux clusters give HPC price-performance, PathScale exec says
High-performance computing (HPC) users are switching from supercomputers to Linux clusters, and enterprise IT shops are getting keen on that idea, too. Linux clusters cut down job times and offer stellar price performance for applications running over hundreds of nodes, according to Alex Rublowsky, product marketing director for PathScale Inc. of Sunnyvale, Calif. In this interview, he explained why HPC on Linux makes sense. Also, find out which types of enterprise IT shops are checking out and what's ahead for HPC Linux clusters.

|Andy Crane
|Howard Andrew Crane
24 February 1964
Morecambe, Lancashire, England
|Years active
Howard Andrew "Andy" Crane (born 24 February 1964) is an English television and radio presenter, best known for presenting Children's BBC between 1987 and 1990 and for his current work as presenter on BBC Radio Manchester, BBC Radio Sheffield, BBC Radio 5 Live and Granada Reports.[1]
Crane started his career in radio[2] before applying for Children's BBC in 1986, making his debut late that year before taking over as sole presenter from Phillip Schofield.[2][3] This role saw him present the interstitial sections of the schedule through the use of in-vision continuity.[3] Presenting from the continuity announcer's booth, nicknamed 'The Broom Cupboard', Crane presented links on until leaving in 1990, to be replaced by Andi Peters.[3] In addition to Children's BBC, Crane also acted as a relief presenter on Top of the Pops in 1988 and 1989 and was famously thrown into the gunk tank on the first Comic Relief telethon. After leaving the BBC, Crane moved to present the hit technology magazine Bad Influence!, for CITV, between 1992 and 1996.[2] He also presented Motormouth and What's Up Doc? on weekend mornings during the early 1990s. From 1997 to 1999, Crane was one of the in-vision continuity presenters on Challenge TV.[2] He later appeared on the television show Banzai, where he put random items on a washing machine and viewers at home could bet on which would fall off first.
In following years, Crane could be found once again presenting radio programmes,[2] breaking to present Channel M Today, the local news programme for Manchester-based Channel M, for which he received the Best Regional Presenter award at the Royal Television Society North West Awards 2009.[4] Between January 2012 and March 2013, he presented the weekday drive time and Saturday breakfast programmes on BBC Radio Manchester. As of April 2013, he can still be heard presenting Saturday breakfast on BBC Radio Manchester, along with Sunday breakfast on BBC Radio Sheffield and various shows on BBC Radio 5 Live.[5]
In 2010 he appeared as himself presenting Top of the Pops in the music video for "Love Goes Down" by Plan B.
Since March 2014, Crane has also been a freelance newsreader for ITV Granada, presenting breakfast and weekend bulletins, and has been a relief presenter on BBC Radio 5 Live's overnight programme Up All Night.

The Obama administration is holding meetings on new gun laws, but they will be missing a key political player: the National Rifle Association.
Wayne LaPierre, the organization's chief executive, told The New York Times, "Why should I or the NRA go sit down with a group of people that have spent a lifetime trying to destroy the Second Amendment in the United States?"
Given its political and financial strength, the NRA is probably in a position to block any new gun legislation, especially in the Republican-run House.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama officials "will review proposed legislation as it comes up," and "the Department of Justice has reached out to stakeholders on all sides of this issue and they're going to be holding a series of discussions as a first step."
The administration seeks "common ground to take some common-sense measures that respect Americans' Second Amendment rights but also deal in a common-sense way with Americans' safety and security," Carney said.
The meetings takes place after an Obama op-ed in the Arizona Daily Star of Tucson, the site of the Jan. 8 mass shooting that killed six people and wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz.
Obama called for vigorous enforcement of background checks and other laws to keep guns away from people who shouldn't have them. "Clearly, there's more we can do to prevent gun violence," he said.
Obama said:
I know some aren't interested in participating. Some will say that anything short of the most sweeping anti-gun legislation is a capitulation to the gun lobby. Others will predictably cast any discussion as the opening salvo in a wild-eyed scheme to take away everybody's guns. And such hyperbole will become the fodder for overheated fundraising letters.
LaPierre told Fox News that he supports instant background checks on gun buyers, but the solution to shootings is to target "evil people and madmen,"' not guns.

I got the Philips Xenium as a birthday present some 6-7 years ago and have been really surprised by its performance.
The most striking feature of this phone, its main selling point and a truly staggering fact is the capacity of its battery. In truth, it baffles me as to how other phone manufacturers are still getting away with not putting in better batteries into their handsets. Using this phone on a daily basis for phone calls & texts, I needed to charge it less often than once a month. This exceptional battery did not mean that the rest of the phone was basic in order to save power.
The phone has two screns and has a variety of useful features. It has a large number of interesting features, has games and looks good too. The quality of all these features is also astonishing for a mobile of that time as the internal screen was a very decent colour one and the phone was right at the top end in terms of its specifications.
The best thing about having a phone with this kind of a battery was the fact that you never had to think about the charger. If you were going away for work for a week or on a two-week holiday, there is absolutely no need to bother with wires, plugs, converters and the like. The phone will easily carry the charge throughout that time!

Six Year Old Gets Birthday Surprise from Soldier Dad
What do most six year olds want for their birthday? For some it's a new bike or a video game, maybe an action figure. For Derek Kirby, a kindergartener from Stillwater, he got something so much better.
Derek's father, Gary Kirby had spent the better part of the last year in Afghanistan as a specialist clearing IED's. Derek had been keeping in touch with his father vie Skype with the help of his mother Breanna, who really only told her son that his father was "on the other side of the world."
When Breanna kept the return date of her husband from her son, she wanted to do something very special to surprise Derek on his sixth birthday. Gary Kirby didn't know what his wife had planned either.
"I thought maybe I would just walk through the back doors and say, 'Yeah! I'm here!' but she said, 'No, no, no, we're doing the present thing.'" Kirby said of his wife's plan, and he just went with it.
As Kirby hopped into a giant box that had been gift wrapped as a present, Derek was told that there were cameras at his party in order to send a video to his father halfway across the planet. When it was finally time to open the "big present" Derek ripped into the box that was bigger than he was, only to be stunned as he witnessed a uniformed man rise from the box.
"Hi!" Derek said, then paused.
Derek then snapped out of his phase of shock as he touched his father's head to make sure he was actually right in front of him, as the two embraced in front of the smiles and tears of onlookers.
When asked what his favorite present was that he received for his birthday, Derek immediately exclaimed, "Daddy in a box!"

ListDensityPlot Legend?
dear mathgroup,
how does one add a legend to a ListDensityPlot.

Lab Draw Services Hours
Monday – Friday 7:45 a.m. to 5 p.m.
WVU Cheat Lake Physicians offers you and your family the convenience of providing laboratory services at the office. Blood draws and specimens are collected in the office by trained personnel. Tests are run either at Ruby Memorial Hospital or at a reference lab with which the patient's health plan is contracted. Results are available to physicians and patients in a timely fashion. Physicians or their clinical services staff will contact patients to communicate any important information and to discuss any necessary follow-up care.
Radiology Services Hours
Monday – Friday 8 am to 4:30 pm
WVU Cheat Lake Physicians houses radiology services from WVU Hospitals that offers:
- Digital Screening Mammography – Part of the Betty Puskar Breast Cancer Center
- Digital Bone Density (DXA) Scans
- Ultrasound
- Diagnostic X-ray
WVU Hospitals radiologists review the images and provide results to the ordering physician who will then contact the patient with any important information.
Digital Mammography
Here at Cheat Lake Physicians, an American College of Radiology accredited satellite facility of the WVU Betty Puskar Breast Care Center, we perform screening mammograms. Screening mammograms are performed when you have no symptoms of breast disease.
We use soft touch mammography pads, which provide a more comfortable exam.
To have a mammogram, you will need to contact your physician, who will then write an order for the mammogram to be performed.
Digital Bone Density (DXA) Scans
A digital bone density or DXA scan is a painless exam ordered by your physician to determine bone loss. The scan is most often done on the lower spine and hips.
DXA scans are the most accurate method for diagnosing osteoporosis and are very accurate in determining fracture risk.
If you are scheduled for a DXA scan, do not take any calcium supplements or multivitamins the day of your exam.
Ultrasound imaging is a noninvasive test that helps doctors diagnose and treat medical conditions.
At Cheat Lake Physicians, we perform the following exams:
- Fetal assessment
- Kidney
- Pelvis
- Spleen
- Abdomen (right upper quadrant)
Diagnostic X-ray
X-rays are used to study images of the internal structures and parts of the body to diagnose diseases, conditions, and bone fractures
We offer full-service x-rays, including:
- Chest
- Spine
- Abdomen
- Limbs
You will need an order from your doctor to have x-rays performed.

The problem I'd have with so many devices is instinctively finding and knowing what to pull out when.
Since most SD shooting encounters have 3 or so shots involved, I don't carry a second gun. Sometimes a light.
Far as your question, I'd personally go with the one gun, that Kimber pepper-spray device you mention, and a small light. But that's me.

Gregory Polanco Draws Rave Reviews From the Futures Game
Gregory Polanco drew rave reviews from the Futures Game.
There's something about the Futures Game that leads to a top Pirates prospect giving a bad first impression that doesn't represent his skills at all. On Sunday, Gregory Polanco started in center field for the World team. Polanco went 0-for-1 with a walk, but the thing that stood out was his bad route on a ball hit over his head to straightaway center field.
You can see the route in the video at the top of this article. Polanco turned and started running to his left. He turned around, realized the ball was heading to his right, quickly turned, but had no chance on the ball. He probably wouldn't have caught the ball if he ran straight back, but it looked awkward. The same video shows him fielding a ball hit to shallow center, whi...

Here's a sneaky (and welcomed) little change that a few of you have tipped us on. It seems yesterday's AT&T Lumia 920 firmware update, which will be going to other Lumias in the near future, is also sporting a few changes for the display time-out (found under Settings > Lock Screen).
Currently, some users on a few Windows Phone have only four options: 30 seconds, 1 minute, 3 minutes and 5 minutes. The choice determines how long your device will sit idle before the screen powers off (we opt for 3 minutes ourselves mostly due to photo and video shoots). Now, with the 1308 firmware for AT&T new timings have been added including 15 minutes, 30 minutes and Never.

A commonly asked question at social justice events is, "What can I do to get more involved?" This question is usually answered in one of three ways: send money, call politicians, and volunteer. Unfortunately, none of these foster a sense of investment in an issue or offer solutions for how to be personally involved in solving the injustices in the world. It also doesn't account for the lack of time, money and resources that these three answers require. What if we could just incorporate our politics into our every day lives, particularly into our seemingly apolitical jobs/careers? In fact, that is just what most activists do.
In this anthology, we want to hear from young women from all walks of life who have found creative ways to use their job/career/talent/passion (from writing to banking to computer programming to being a homemaker) as an outlet for social justice activism. We seek to create an anthology that makes activism more accessible and inspire others to use the resources that they have to contribute to social justice. Changing the world won't happen over night, so let's share our daily successes and strategies for making all of our visions of a better world possible. Tell us what worked and what didn't because all experiences are valuable. We want to be sure multiple voices and perspectives are represented in the anthology. Writers of all experience levels are encouraged to submit work. All work must be original and should not be published elsewhere.

A badger has reportedly proved to be a talented archaeologist after helping to discover the tombs of two medieval lords in Germany.
The 12th century burial site, which has been hailed as a "significant find" contains a sword, bronze bowls, a belt buckle and skeletal remains of two Slavic lords, according to Germany's Der Spiegel Online.
The animal had made its underground home on a farm in the town of Stolpe in the eastern state of Brandenburg.
Two sculptors who also happen to be hobby archaeologists Lars Wilhelm and Hendrikje Ring, live on the farm and had planned to exhibit their art near the badger's sett.
The pair were made aware of the artefacts when they found a human pelvic bone that had been dug up, prompting them to place a camera into the badger's sett. Photographs taken with the device revealed pieces of jewellery, which the two then retrieved before notifying authorities.
Commenting on the discovery, Ring told the website,"It wasn't exactly surprising to us because a whole field of ancient graves had been found on the other side of the road in the 1960s."
The pieces were dug up last autumn with the finds only being made public this week.
"We hadn't found graves like that in Brandenburg before so it's an important discovery," Thomas Kersting, an archaeologist at the Brandenburg Department for Monument Protection, told the site.
The bronze bowls found at the feet of the skeletons identified them as belonging to the social elite, Kersting said.
He continued, "They had the bowls to wash their hands before dining because they knew that was the refined thing to do."
One of the two skeletons was especially well preserved, with multiple sword and lance wounds and a healed fracture suggested he had been a warrior, according to Kersting.
The artefacts will go on display in September at the Archaeological State Museum in the town of Brandenburg an der Havel.
Last month the sculptor Lars Wilhelm, who found the pelvic bone on his farm, was awarded for services to archaeology in Brandenburg.
Keen to give credit where it was, due Kersting said the badger "is one of our honorary members too."Reuse content

Alachua County Approves CAPP Agencies Funding
Over a million dollars was doled out today by Alachua County Commissioners to agencies that help the poor.
The Community Agency Partnership Program, or CAPP, supports services provided by non-profits in food, health care, housing and children's safety and education.
25 organizations were projected to receive money in the coming year based on the advisory board's recommendations including: The Early Learning Coalition, Planned Parenthood, and the Saint Francis House.
The decision was good news for one disabled resident on a fixed income, who told commissioners she needs more help.
All commissioners, except Susan Baird, voted to allocate the money as the CAPP advisory board recommended, with two changes.
Florida Organic Growers, which was not recommended for funding, received $13 thousand dollars. The Gainesville Opportunity Center, which was recommended to receive $20 thousand dollars, was not funded at all.

Talk To Me: Flarf vs Conceptual Writing
There is still an American Avant-Garde in poetry!
As part of the Jenny Holzer exhibition PROTECT PROTECT at the Whitney Museum, poet Kenneth Goldsmith organized a panel of eight poets associated with two living breathing movements in poetry — the Flarf Collective and Conceptual Writing. Goldsmith describes the new works as responses to our digital age, a "poetics of flux, celebrating instability and uncertainty."
For the panel he staged a faux battle between the two movements, featuring poets Christian Bök, Nada Gordon, Kenneth Goldsmith, Sharon Mesmer, K. Silem Mohammad, Kim Rosenfield, Gary Sullivan and Darren Wershler. If you listen to the end, you can hear WNYC's Pejk Malinovski speaking with these poets after the reading.

My hair is at a really awkward stage of growth where the only thing I can do is put it in a ponytail because absolutely everything else I try to do looks wretched. My split ends are out of control. I need a haircut so bad but hate going to get them. I would also like to just get a cute pixie cut, but
a) it would look terrible on me, and
b) it requires a lot of upkeep, and anything that keeps me out of the salon as long as possible is my friend.

2013 Draft
Pirates Sign 11th Round Pick Erich Weiss to Over-Slot Deal
2013 Draft
The Pittsburgh Pirates have agreed to a deal with 11th round pick Erich Weiss, according to Weiss on Twitter.
Weiss had good numbers in his first two years with Texas, then slumped in his junior year, which could have been the reason he dropped out of the top ten rounds. He's a line drive hitter with gap power, and while he was drafted as a third baseman he has poor range at the position and an average arm. Long term he profiles to have the upside of a utility player.
No word yet on his bonus. Weiss had been playing in the Cape Cod league since the draft.
UPDATE 12:55 AM: Dustin McComas of Orangebloods.com was the first to report the signing earlier tonight.

AMD prepares for a major ramp up this year leading all the way through to 2008
AMD's position as a force to be reckoned is no longer under question. The company has invested significantly over the last several years and made very good bets on its strategy that are now bringing fruits to the effort that was put in.
We previously reported earlier in the year that AMD was putting in a
rough sum of $500M USD to upgrade Fab 36
in Germany. The money was laid out to upgrade the facility to produce larger wafers with smaller lithography processes. Since then, Fab 36 has been operating at a good pace and is now producing a good amount of revenue.
Despite the initial investment, competition often sparks innovation, and innovation doesn't stand still.
According to German reports
, AMD is in the process of rounding up another $5.8B USD which is to be spent gradually up to 2008. The company is using the money to further invest into its Dresden location. If this plan goes through successfully, AMD would have made one of its largest ever expansions in its history -- or for that matter, any semiconductor company.
The money is initially slated for Fab 36 and Fab 30 in Dresden, but the German report indicates much of the earmarked money will also go towards a third AMD foundry in the Dresden area, with work beginning this summer. Some of the funds will also be used for employee salaries at the new and upgraded facilities.
The year so far has been exciting, with many announcements from both sides of the camp. Thanks to first impressions of Intel's upcoming Conroe processor, many analysts are now looking at AMD with a great deal of anticipation to see what the company will come out with next,
specifically the K8L architecture
. AMD is currently on track in terms of timely product releases and expects to deliver quad-core desktop solutions in early 2007. The company recently
broke its own 3GHz barrier with its Opteron family
"It looks like the iPhone 4 might be their Vista, and I'm okay with that." -- Microsoft COO Kevin Turner

Must Watch: First 'Green Lantern' Teaser Trailer Debuts Online!
by Alex Billington
November 16, 2010
Source: The Daily BLAM!
And here it is. You ready? Entertainment Tonight debuted the first full teaser trailer for Green Lantern, directed by Martin Campbell, starring Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan. This trailer will also be playing in front of Harry Potter this weekend, so everyone will get to see it. Some of the footage leaked out a few days ago, but I wanted you guys to be able to see this in proper high quality before critiquing it. This teaser is considerably long, but a perfect tease for fans of the comics, and newcomers as well who don't know much about what's going on. The comedy is still the roughest part to me, but overall I think this looks awesome.
Watch the first teaser trailer for Martin Campbell's Green Lantern, in high def via Apple:
A test pilot (Ryan Reynolds) is granted a mystical green ring that bestows him with otherworldly powers, as well as membership into an intergalactic squadron tasked with keeping the peace within the universe.
Green Lantern is directed by veteran New Zealand filmmaker Martin Campbell, of Defenseless, GoldenEye, The Mask of Zorro, Vertical Limit, Casino Royale and Edge of Darkness previously. The script was written by Greg Berlanti ("Everwood", "Eli Stone"), Michael Goldenberg (Peter Pan, Order of the Phoenix), Michael Green ("Everwood", "Kings") & comic book writer Marc Guggenheim ("FlashForward") and is based on the DC Comics superhero. Warner Bros is bringing Green Lantern to theaters in 3D everywhere on June 17th!

To All Depository Institutions and Others Concerned in the Second Federal Reserve District:
Last year, the Federal Reserve Banks (Reserve Banks) began offering the FedLine Advantagesm access channel. FedLine Advantage was initially introduced to provide access to the Fedwire® Funds Service, the Fedwire Securities Service and FedACH Services. Beginning in June 2005, Settlement Agents will also be able to use the FedLine Advantage channel to access the National Settlement Service.
In connection with the offering of this new access solution, changes have been made to Federal Reserve Bank Operating Circular 12 (Multilateral Settlement). The main substantive changes are summarized below.
- Section 5.5 has been revised so that the "immediate notice" option for providing notification of a rejected debit balance is described first and treated as the primary option. It also provides that if an arrangement has elected this option, notification that a debit balance has rejected will be sent to the Settlement Agent, whereas, if the alternative "delayed notice" option is selected, initial notification will be to the settler.
- Section 6.5 has been revised to allow the Reserve Banks to provide notice of delay to the Settlement Agent by posting the notice to a website.
- Appendix B, which sets out the security procedures for accessing the National Settlement Service, has been revised to include references to the specific security documentation that is associated with the FedLine® Advantage access channel and incorporated into the National Settlement Service security procedures. Appendix B has also been revised to remove the FedLine® Web access method as an online option.
- A new Appendix C, FedPayments Managersm for the National Settlement Service, has been added. The FedPayments Manager for the National Settlement Service is a web-based tool that assists Settlement Agents in preparing, verifying, correcting and submitting Settlement Files to the National Settlement System for processing. The FedPayments Manager tool also provides information about processing status and has inquiry and reporting capabilities. The FedPayments Manager tool is currently only accessible via the FedLine Advantage access solution.
All of these amendments are effective on June 1, 2005, and your continued use of the service on or after the effective date will constitute agreement to the new terms. Prior to a Settlement Arrangement using FedLine Advantage to access the National Settlement Service, the Settlement Agent will need to execute and submit the new security procedure agreement referenced above.
Please refer to the official versions of the Operating Circular at the Federal Reserve Financial Services website. From this website, you may read, download, and print the Operating Circular.

Illustrations by Diego Fagundes
These works by Brazilian architect / illustrator Diego Fagundes are so simple in execution, but pack a heavy punch of narrative and figurative symbolism. Like BLU, who does these kinds of works on multi-storied buildings, these works play on the idea of space and our perceptions of our own reality. It should be noted that Diego is an architect at the Federal University of Santa Catarina. He knows a little something about space.July 07, 2012

George Osborne today addresses the most central issues now facing the Tories at their party conference: the deficit, economic growth and welfare reform. The Chancellor's strategy, based on cutting spending and waiting for growth to return, has faltered: independent forecasters think he will miss his deficit target, while the economy has returned to recession. Hence his push for £10 billion of fresh cuts in welfare spending, and the measures he announces today to help small businesses to grow. Yet the politics of this are more complex than simply turning around the economy.
For while the economy will be the biggest single factor in determining the Tories' fortunes between now and the 2015 election, they also need to convince the voters whom David Cameron calls the "strivers" that the Conservatives are on their side. Welfare reform is part of that message, as well as being a question of saving money: a matter of showing that work is rewarded, both for those on benefits and trying to get off them, and those in work who fund the welfare system. That should be a popular message with voters, though the hard part will be convincing them that the notoriously slow-moving and complex welfare system really is changing.
But the message to "strivers" has to go further than that. Boris Johnson has called today for more help on housing for the "squeezed middle" especially — a key London issue. Yesterday the Prime Minister made a significant
U-turn on rail fares, announcing that in January they will rise by one per cent above inflation, rather than three per cent as planned. He also announced that the freeze on council tax increases will be extended for a third year. And ministers have been robust in rubbishing Lib-Dem calls for a "mansion tax" on more valuable homes.
These are all welcome measures, in London especially. How much difference they make to "strivers" will depend on the countervailing pressures of inflation and of measures like the scrapping of child benefit for higher earners, which will hit many middle-class London households. But the Tories do at least appear to be taking the battle for these votes seriously, a measure of the keenness of the competition from Labour, especially after Ed Miliband's speech last week. Fleshing out that offer convincingly is the key to David Cameron's speech this week.
Tackling BBC sexism
BBC director-general George Entwistle's announcement that the corporation will hold an inquiry into the abuse claims surrounding Sir Jimmy Savile is welcome. Mr Entwistle said that the inquiry will take place after police have finished their investigations into claims that the former DJ sexually abused dozens of under-age girls. It is right that the BBC should investigate. There also needs to be an assessment of the wider culture in which such abuse happened: many other claims of sexual harassment have surfaced since the Savile allegations were first made, suggesting a deeply sexist culture in Radio 1 and BBC light entertainment well into the 1980s.
Yet appalling though the behaviour of Savile and some other stars appears to have been, it is also a measure of how far our society has come since then. Sexism and sexual harassment are far from dead in the workplace; nevertheless, the kind of atmosphere where senior men feel able to grope female colleagues during broadcasts is a thing of the past in the BBC. Some people deride "political correctness" — yet it has helped make such disgraceful behaviour unacceptable. That is right. Now the BBC must tackle specific claims — and all workplaces must ensure that they have moved on.

Feb. 28, 2013
Complete Release | Season Stats | Schedule | Enter Family Day Promo Code
Colorado State vs. Boise State | Game 27
Colorado State (9-17, 5-8 MW) is home for two of its final three games this regular season beginning with Boise State (11-15, 4-9) on Saturday. Tipoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. MST.
After a hard fought loss Wednesday at Fresno State, the Rams are hoping to rebound with a win against the Broncos. Colorado State has a chance to move into a tie for fourth place in the conference standings.
The game will be broadcast live on AM 1410 KIIX. Matt Wozniak, now in his fourth season with the Rams, calls all the action. Live game video will also be available for all non-televised home contests via Rams All-Access subscription on CSURams.com, and for the first time, fans will be able to listen to every Rams' game for free on Rams All-Access.
Game Promotions
Saturday's contest is "Family Day." There will be a post-event meet and greet with poster signing. Fans can purchase $4 tickets by entering the promo code: GORAMS at CSURams.com/tickets.
Scouting Report on Boise State
- Boise State snapped a seven-game losing streak Wednesday at Nevada, winning 80-62. It was the team's first road win of the conference season.
- In the win over Nevada, four players reached double figures. Senior Lauren Lenhardt led the way with 20 points, followed by Brandi Henton (18), Lexie Der (14) and Erica Martinez (12). The Broncos shot .500 from the field, including .538 from beyond the arc.
- Lenhardt leads the team with 18.1 points per game in league play, ranking second in the MW. Henton is also averaging double digits with 11.5 per matchup. Der and Lenhardt lead the team on the boards with 6.8 and 6.6 rebounds per game, respectively.
- After playing only two games in MW action, Julia Marshall has been out with an injury. Starting guard Diana Lee has also missed the past five games due to injury. Martinez has since taken over for Lee in the starting lineup.
Series vs. the Broncos
- Saturday's meeting between Colorado State and Boise State will be the seventh game between the two schools.
- The Rams are 3-3 vs. the Broncos overall with a 1-1 record in Fort Collins.
- This is Head Coach Ryun Williams second contest vs. Boise State, with an 1-0 record in his career. Until this season, Williams had never played against any team in the MW, aside from CSU.
A win will...
- Allow the Rams a chance to move into as high as a tie for fourth place in the conference standings with UNLV and New Mexico, provided those both teams lose Saturday. The Rams are currently in sixth place.
- Improve the Rams' record against the Broncos to 4-3 all-time and 2-1 in Fort Collins.
- Push the Rams over the .500 mark at home in league play. CSU is currently 3-3 at Moby in the MW.
Last time at Boise State (Jan. 30)
It was a hard fought battle all the way to the very end, and it was Colorado State that came out on top, 57-56 at Taco Bell Arena.
After an early layup for Boise State (10-9, 3-3 MW), CSU (6-13, 2-4) went on a 9-0 run, hitting three from beyond the arc. The Rams first five out of six baskets were past the three-point line. They tallied 10 on the evening, a season-high. Six different players for Colorado State made threes in the contest.
CSU held the lead until midway through the second frame, when the Broncos took over. Boise State gained a five-point lead three times, but the Rams tied the match-up with just over 1 minute to play. A Caitlin Duffy layup gave the Rams a two-point lead, but it was quickly taken away with a Broncos three-pointer. With the shot clock turned off, CSU had the ball with 26 seconds remaining. A missed shot by Alicia Nichols was corralled by Hayley Thompson, who got the put-back for the win.
Sam Martin had a stellar first half, with 11 points in the first 10 minutes of play. Her eighth point of the evening put her at 1,000 in her career. The Colorado native joins the ranks of 16 other Ram greats who have scored 1,000 points at Colorado State. She ended with 22 on the night, the third 20-plus scoring game for a Ram this season. She shot 9-of-19, including a career-high four treys.
Martin is the second junior in two years to reach 1K before her senior campaign. Kim Mestdagh hit the mark her junior season in 2011. Martin is the only active junior in the Mountain West with 1,000 points.
Sophomore Ladeyah Forte recorded a team-high seven assists to just one turnover. It was her best performance since dealing 11 vs. South Dakota Mines.
Hayley Thompson registered a season-high 11 points and she grabbed seven boards, also a season-high.
Though the teams were fairly even on defensive rebounds, the Broncos had the advantage on the offensive glass 16-7. Boise State converted 16 second-chance points to CSU's four. The Rams had the upper hand in points off turnovers, however, with 17 to the Broncos seven.
Ladeyah Forte re-entered the Rams' starting five. She was joined by Thompson, Meghan Heimstra, Martin and Duffy.
Martin with exclusive company
With a career-high 30 points vs. South Dakota Mines on Jan. 4, Sam Martin reached elite status, entering the top 20 in scoring at CSU. With 1,124 points to date, the Colorado native is ranked No. 15. Seventeen Ram greats have reached 1,000 points in their careers at Colorado State, since the program began in 1974.
Martin has become the second junior in two years to reach 1,000 points before her senior campaign. Kim Mestdagh hit the mark her junior season in 2011, eclipsing 1,000 vs. UNLV on Jan. 18.
The Parker native also registered her 500th career rebound vs. Nevada on Feb. 6 and her 100th career block at Fresno State on Feb. 27. She becomes just the second player in CSU women's basketball history to reach 1,000 points, 500 boards and 100 denials before her senior year. The only other player to accomplish such a feat was CSU Hall of Fame member, Teresa James, who reached the goal 18 years ago during the 1994-95 season.
Up Next
Colorado State plays its final game at Moby in the second installment of the Border War. The Cowgirls (21-6, 12-4) have clinched at least the third place in the standings with a chance to move higher. Tipoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. MT.

Poythress, Goodwin Lead Cats Past Portland
Dec. 8, 2012
Box Score | Quotes | Notes | Photo Gallery 1 | Photo Gallery 2
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Alex Poythress and Archie Goodwin each scored 15 points to help lead Kentucky past Portland 74-46 on Saturday.
The Wildcats (6-3) won their second game in a row after a series of losses, which culminated with a 64-55 loss to Baylor Dec. 1 and dropped them from the Associated Press Top 25 poll for the first time under fourth-year coach John Calipari.
Julius Mays scored 13 points and Kyle Wiltjer had 12 for the Wildcats. Wiltjer had struggled in Kentucky's last five games, shooting 4 of 27 from 3-point range.
He countered his slump with a different approach against the Pilots, opting for higher-percentage shots and went 5 of 8 from the field and 1 of 3 from behind the arc.
Ryan Nicholas finished with 15 points and 13 rebounds for Portland.
The Pilots (3-6) held court at Rupp Arena early in the first half, tied 10-10 nearly nine minutes into the game. But Poythress scored two quick baskets to spark a 16-0 Kentucky run.
Portland closed the gap to 10 points early in the second half, but the Wildcats followed with a 9-0 run to help seal the game.
Freshman center Nerlens Noel suffered a left leg injury and limped around in pregame warm-ups, but he still played 32 minutes in the Wildcats' win. He finished with seven points, nine rebounds and seven blocks.
It was the most blocks in a game for a Kentucky player this season.

A Look Back at 2011
With the New Year upon us, we thought this would be the perfect time to reflect on some of the great things Geni has accomplished in the past year.
2011 in Retrospect
We spent the first couple of months of 2011 further enhancing and refining popular features. Enhancements to documents, sourcing and projects have really helped to make it easier to share and collaborate with other users. As the year progressed, we pursued features to further facilitate collaboration and highlight the advantages of our premium features. We made some significant changes to the way Geni works, and while they may not have been the most popular, we believe they will ensure Geni's longevity and enable us to continue to build new features and enhancements that make Geni the best collaborative genealogy platform. As we move forward, we remain firmly committed to our goal of creating the canonical world family tree.
Let's take a look back at some significant developments and milestones of 2011:
Profile Revisions (March 2)
Before the start of 2011, we introduced the ability to view and revert text revisions for profiles, surnames and projects. With this release, we further expanded this feature to allow the ability to view the revision history of a profile and revert to the previous values for each profile field displayed.
Public Editing for Pros (June 23)
To make it easier for users to contribute their knowledge to Geni's world family tree, we opened up editing permissions of public profiles to Pro users without the need for collaboration. All changes were reversible by other users with edit permissions on the profile and profile field locking was made available to Curators to help maintain the accuracy of the profile's information.
New Header (August 11)
We introduced a cleaner, simpler header to make navigating on Geni even easier. With these changes, users are able to go directly to their tree in just one click and all notifications are now found in one place.
More Enhancements to Geni Pro (August 11)
New enhanced permissions to Geni Pro were introduced to accelerate the growth and improve the quality of the world family tree. All Geni Pro users were given the ability to edit and merge public profiles. We saw a great increase in the number of merges as users were hard at work eliminating the number of duplicate profiles. With these changes, merging and search became a Pro only feature.
Note: In November, we limited the Pro permissions to edits and merges only on public profiles they are connected to. Pros are no longer able to edit and merge unconnected public profiles without collaboration.
Geni Public Access (August 18)
The Geni Public Access program was introduced to provide Geni users with the opportunity to experience Geni Pro for free at public libraries and genealogical societies that provide access to computers connected to the Internet. Users can experience all the features of Pro from our growing list of participating institutions.
Introducing Geni Plus (September 13)
A new subscription package was introduced that offered many of the benefits of Pro for a fraction of the cost.
Record Matches (September 29)
As part of our effort to create the best platform for genealogists to collaborate and build the world family tree, we partnered with Archives.com and GenealogyBank to help make researching your family history faster and easier. Since record matches are found automatically, users don't have to spend extra time conducting separate searches from various genealogy databases.
In November, we added Find A Grave to our record matches. The free grave registration site holds millions of records containing photos, biographies and dates to help enrich the information on your relatives' profiles. We hope to add more great record partners in the future.
Changes to Membership Tiers (November 2)
While Geni has always offered free Basic accounts, we made some significant changes to our Basic and Premium memberships. As your tree grows, you'll want to take advantage of our Plus and Pro memberships to get the most out of your Geni experience. To help make the membership tiers easier to understand and provide a greater value to our users, a new number-based tree limit was introduced, while search was added as a Plus feature. Based on user feedback, Pro merging permissions were modified. This enabled users to continue working on the world family tree, while accommodating those who wished to build their own tree.
Geni's World Family Tree Reaches 60 million Profiles (November 11)
This year, Geni's world family tree reached a new milestone – over 60 million connected profiles and counting. Over 10 million profiles were connected in the past year, bringing us closer to achieving our goal of creating the world's largest and most comprehensive family tree. We're thrilled to continue to see the growth of the tree through the hard work of millions of collaborating genealogists.
Geni Celebrity Quiz on Facebook (December 23)
We were super excited to announce this Facebook game. We introduced the Geni Celebrity Quiz on Facebook as a fun, interactive game to test your knowledge of celebrity trivia and discover how some of Hollywood's top celebrities, both past and present, are related. To top it off, you can even challenge your friends to see who can get the top score!
What's to Come
As we enter 2012, we are thrilled at the prospect of enhancing our collaboration tools and introducing more exciting features to the site. One such feature we're eager to enhance is projects. Since introducing projects, thousands of inventive projects have been created and they've served as the perfect place to unite individuals who share common interests. It's been pretty impressive to see what's been accomplished so far. In the coming year, we have some big plans to make projects even better and we think you are all going to love it!
Thank you to everyone for your passion for Geni and we look forward to another exciting year in 2012!
Happy New Year!

Cypriot President Says Levy Isn't Likely to be Passed
The euro continued to slide on Tuesday morning as Cypriot lawmakers prepared to vote on a new controversial tax amendment that would help fund the nation's debt by raising 5.8 billion euros through a levy on banks that would force account holders to shoulder the debt.
The meeting has been delayed twice already as Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades tries to garner support from fellow lawmakers.
According to Bloomberg, Anastasiades warned German Chancellor Angela Merkel that his colleagues were not likely to pass the levy. The possibility of the plan's rejection has created a stir among investors as many worry that the euro could drop even lower.
Investors with money tied up in Cypriot banks have had their accounts frozen since March 16th as authorities prepared to deduct the new tax before the banks opened again on March 19th.
However, since the tax hasn't been approved by the nation's lawmakers, banks will remain closed until the 21st to keep account holders from accessing their savings.
The situation has caused an uproar among Cypriots and investors whose funds are frozen in the country's banks. News of Cypriots desperately trying to withdraw funds at cash machines has caused capital flight in neighboring countries like Greece, Italy and Spain; where investors fear a similar levy could follow.
Cypriot officials are expected to make a decision at their meeting on Tuesday at 6 pm to discuss the levy and decide about its implementation.
One concern is the effect the tax will have on smaller savings accounts, as originally the levy would impose a 6.75 percent tax on all deposits and increase to 9.9 percent for deposits over 100,000 euros.

Roddy White is currently working on a contract extension in Atlanta, but has made it clear he doesn't want to play 17 seasons like his now former teammate Tony Gonzalez .. White still has one more year on his deal, but could provide useful cap relief if he is extended this offseason.
White told ESPN.com , "How many more years? I think three or four,'' he said. "I don't want to be an ironman like Tony [Gonzalez]. He was blessed to go through his stint in the NFL because 17 seasons is a long time to play football, man. I was thinking if I could just get 10, I'll be all right.''
Fantasy Analysis:
In many ways Roddy White had been an 'ironman' coming into this season. He had never missed a game in his pro career, and whether he was the number one target or riding shotgun next to Julio Jones , White has always produced.
This was a tough year for White and a terrible year for the Falcons. White was hurt much of the season, and when he came back after several weeks off, he and Gonzalez saw constant double teams in Jones' absence. Still, White finished the season in much better shape than he started it, with 502 yards in his last 5 games. With a healthy Jones on the other side and an offseason to heal, expect White to rebound to a WR2 in 2014.


text: Arkansas has some high-end talent this year, but not tremendous depth. The state has two players likely to go in the first three rounds and five players who could go in the first 10 rounds this year. The University of Arkansas is the top baseball institution in the Natural State and has more talent among its underclassmen, chiefly sophomore righthander D.J. Baxendale and freshman corner infielder Dominic Ficociello (both of whom were invited to Team USA's college national team trials), and freshman righthander Ryne Stanek, one of college baseball's hardest throwers.
