Walker-Kimbrough scores 41, No. 5 Maryland women beat PurdueFeb 3, 2016 - 2:22 AM WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) Shatori Walker-Kimbrough has played hundreds of basketball games in her career- high school, Amateur Athletic Union and college. On Tuesday night, she came through with her highest scoring total.
Walker-Kimbrough scored a career-high 41 points - one point short of a school record - to lead No. 5 Maryland to an 87-67 victory over Purdue. Kristen Confroy and Brionna Jones each scored 13 points, and Malina Howard added 12 to help the Terrapins (20-2, 9-1 Big Ten) win their eighth straight.
''I came out aggressive tonight, and that set the tone,'' said Walker-Kimbrough, who was 17 of 21 from the field, including 16 of 17 from inside the 3-point arc. ''My teammates did a great job finding me for open shots. As for how I celebrate this one, just the victory in a tough place to play is good enough.''
The junior forward equaled the highest scoring total ever by a Boilermakers opponent, and topped her previous career-best of 26 on Nov. 18, 2015, against High Point. She broke her career high with a field goal with 4:51 remaining in the third quarter, which gave Maryland a 55-42 advantage.
Walker-Kimbrough had 35 points through three quarters, when the Terrapins led 65-54.
Ashley Morrissette scored 19 points to lead Purdue (16-6, 7-4).
The Boilermakers closed to 70-63 early in the fourth, but Jones' three-point play and Confroy's 3-pointer gave Maryland a 76-63 advantage with 4:48 remaining.
''This was a hard-fought victory against a Purdue team that plays with a lot of tenacity, but we had Shatori Walker-Kimbrough on our side hitting on all cylinders,'' Maryland coach Brenda Frese said.
Purdue coach Sharon Versyp is in her 16th season as a college head coach and says Walker-Kimbrough played one of the best games she ever has seen.
''When you make a few shots in a row, that basket begins to look bigger and bigger, and that is what happened tonight,'' Versyp said. ''She also is a very smart player.''
Purdue hurt its chances with 17 turnovers, which Maryland converted into 26 points.
''We changed defenses a lot, and we were able to force some turnovers, especially with our press,'' Frese said, ''Our defense really did a nice job locking down.''
Maryland led only 25-24 after a Purdue basket with 6:04 remaining in the second quarter, then finished the half on a 16-4 blitz, including nine points from Walker-Kimbrough, for a 41-28 advantage through 20 minutes.
Walker-Kimbrough shot 11 for 14 in the first half, including 11 for 12 from inside the arc, and 2 of 2 from the line for 24 points to go with two rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals.
The Terrapins shot 63 percent in the opening half (19 of 30) and outscored Purdue 14-4 as the result of 12 Boilermakers turnovers. Maryland finished shooting 65.5 percent (36 of 55), including 32 of 42 inside the 3-point line.
''Maryland is an aggressive team that will capitalize on every one of your mistakes,'' Versyp said. ''We cut it to seven early in the fourth quarter and then didn't make them pay.''
Keys led Purdue with eight first-half points also had five turnovers. She and fellow starting guard April Wilson turned it over nine times in the first 20 minutes.
Maryland also outrebounded the Boilermakers 15-11 during the first two quarters.
Walker-Kimbrough scored Maryland's first 11 points, helping the Terrapins take a 17-15 lead after one quarter, although the Boilermakers had an 11-4 run during the period's final 4:21.
Maryland: The Terrapins entered outscoring their first 21 opponents by an average margin of 29.5 points. ... Walker-Kimbrough came in shooting 55.1 percent from the field, including 58.7 percent from 3-point range, while averaging a team-leading 18 points per game, 10th in the Big Ten. ... Maryland improved to 7-0 in true road games and is 10-1 away from College Park, including neutral-site contests.
Purdue: The Boilermakers fell to 1-6 all-time against Maryland, including 0-4 in West Lafayette. ... Four of Purdue's next five are on the road, including a trip to Maryland on Feb. 11 ... The Boilermakers rank 12th in Big Ten scoring at 69.9 points but are fourth in conference scoring defense at 60.1 points. ... Wilson is averaging a team-best 15.9 points, ranking 20th in the league.
Walker-Kimbrough tied the Purdue opponent record set by former Minnesota standout Lindsay Whalen, who did it on Feb. 14, 2002, in Minneapolis. Walker-Kimbrough's 17 made field goals are the most ever against Purdue, breaking the record of 16 set by Northwestern's Anucha Browne on Feb. 12, 1984. in Evanston, Illinois.
Maryland's starting five of Walker-Kimbrough, Confroy, Jones, Howard and Chloe Pavlech were a collective 34 of 48 from the field, 70.8 percent.
Maryland: Hosts Michigan State on Friday night.
Purdue: At Wisconsin on Monday night.

Are you dreaming of looking out over Paris at the top of the Eiffel Tower, or marveling at London's legendary Big Ben? Perhaps you're captivated by the Roman Coliseum or the Parthenon in Athens. Regardless of where you want to go, if you're a student planning a trip to Europe, you need to have money in the bank to make your dream trip a reality. Don't worry – Vistas in Education is here to help! Here are some useful money saving strategies for students so you can make your European trip a reality.
Create a Budget
Budgeting is extremely important when trying to save money. With a budget, you can lay out all of your planned and potential expenses. Try and think through what you've spent money on in the past month. Some of your costs may include gas for your car, food, cell phone bill and going out with friends. Whatever you're spending your money on, it all adds up, ultimately detracting from your potential to save for your trip. A budget will help shed light on areas where you can trim excess expenditures.
Open a Bank Account
If you don't already have a bank account, you should open one as soon as possible. A savings and checking account makes money management much easier. Consolidating your money in one place lets you track your savings progress and keeps it safe. Almost all banks also offer incentives to store your money in their vaults in the form of interest. If you're new to banking, research your options – many banks offer a sign-up bonus, giving you a little monetary boost that you can put towards your trip.
Avoid Using a Credit Card, Use Cash (Sparingly) Instead
With a credit card comes the responsibility of self-discipline when buying. A credit card makes it easy to swipe away any items you want to purchase without thinking of the spendy repercussions. Another downside to credit cards is accrued interest. This means that if you don't pay off your credit card balance every month, you could end up paying excessive fees, often up to 30 percent of your total expenditures. Instead of using plastic, try using cash instead. Physical money lets you reconsider if you really need to supersize that meal or purchase that expensive shirt.
Watch for Bank Fees
Bank accounts, while very useful, often carry certain fees that can be devastating to your saving efforts. For example, many bank cards won't absorb ATM fees when you withdraw cash, which can vary from $2-5 every time you get cash. Try using your bank's designated ATM, which should be free. Or, you can get cash back by buying something cheap, like a pack of gum at a cash register, using a debit card. In a similar vein, don't overspend on your debit card. With overdraft fees, that apply every time you overdraw on your account, it can really eat into money that you've saved up.
Take Advantage of Student Discounts
Whether you're buying school supplies, books, clothing or even coffee, there are tons of companies that offer student discounts. Take advantage at checkout by asking the clerk if they offer any discounts for students. For more information on which stores do offer discounts, check out this guide, 40 Stores that Give a Student Discounts.
Learn How to Cook / Don't Eat Out
Even if your local sub shop does offer a student discount, avoid eating out regularly. Instead, learn how to cook a few good meals that you can store over the week and reheat as needed. And always pack a lunch, or at the very least a snack. The average meal when eating out costs an $12.75. It will add up quickly if you go out a few times a week, which really puts a dent in your wallet.
Get a Summer Job
If you have the summer off from school, look into getting a part-time or full-time job to help you generate some income that can go towards your trip. Whether it's bagging groceries, mowing lawns or working at the movie theater, there are no shortage of jobs for high schoolers during the summer. Not only will you save up some extra dough, you'll be able to get out of the house and away from your parents!
Invierta en su futuro y obtenga un minicrédito https://minicreditos24.com/ hoy mismo. Elige entre alta liquidez y bajo riesgo con tipos de interés del 0-12%.
Lower your Cell Phone Use
Instead of chatting on your phone, try using free video calling programs like Skype, chat programs like Facebook Messenger, or the always classic email when you're connected to wi-fi. Avoid watching videos, downloading large pictures, or talking on the phone for hours when you're using LTE to decrease excessive data charges. As cell phones evolve from a luxury to a necessity, it's becoming all the more important to monitor your usage of mobile devices.
Avoid Impulse Buying Situations
If you're prone to making impulse purchase, curb that behavior by avoiding shopping completely. Unless you're buying something you need, such as food, don't even put yourself in a situation where you could spend frivolously. If you happen to be in a situation where you feel like buying something, stop and consider how many hours you would have to work to pay for it.
Ready to See Europe? Start Saving Today!
Whether you're dreaming of walking along the beautiful beaches of Croatia, watching a soccer match in Madrid, or seeing the Mona Lisa in person at the Louvre, it will cost you a pretty penny to make it happen. Follow these steps and in no time you'll be well on your way to saving enough money for your dream trip to Europe. Bon Voyage!

The validation problem is an explicit recognition that simulation models are like miniature scientific theories.
(Kleindorfer and Ganeshan 1993, 50)
Validation of simulation models is thus the same as (or least analogous to) validation of theories. (Troitzsch 2004)
Assessment of transformational accuracy (verification), assessment of behavioral or representational accuracy (validation), and independently assuring sufficient credibility (certification) of complex models and simulations pose significant technical and managerial challenges. (Balci 2003)
three general circulation models (…) were used for parallel integrations of several weeks to determine the growth of small initial errors. Only Arakawa's model had the aperiodic behaviour typical of the real atmosphere in extratropical latitudes, and his results were therefore used as a guide to predictability of the real atmosphere. This aperiodic behaviour was possible because Arakawa's numerical system did not require the significant smoothing required by the other models, and it realistically represented the nonlinear transport of kinetic energy and vorticity in wave number space. (Phillips 2000, xxix)
"It is my goal to take the best models and compute the last hundred thousand years. And if they succeed to simulate the rapid changes, ice-ages, that occurred in the past, yes, then I have hundred percent confidence" (transcript from interview).
|Figure 1. Mean global temperature, observed and estimated, from IPCC Assessment Report
The shaft shows a good fit between observed and retrospectively predicted data. This fit is taken to validate the prediction — the substantial rise of the mean temperature.
There has never in the history of Economics and Management Science been a correct forecast of macroeconomic or financial market turning points or turning points in retail market sales. I know less about sociology, but my reading of the journals in that field suggests that no sociological theory offers systematically well validated predictions, either. (Moss 2003)

Did Queen Anne Neville Have An Uncle Who Was King?
While searching for images of the Duke of Clarence I came across this image from the National Portrait Gallery, London. �I had never heard of Henry, Duke of Warwick and became intrigued. �Who was he and why is he portrayed with the Kingmaker, his family and the Duke of Clarence in this etching?
From what I can tell, Henry was brother to Anne (Beauchamp) Neville. �They were children of Richard Beauchamp, 13th Earl of Warwick, and Isabel le Despenser. Anne would later marry Richard Neville who became 16th Earl of Warwick and "The Kingmaker." Their daughters, Isabel and Anne Neville would go on to be in the middle of the Wars of the Roses because of an overly ambitious father.
Henry Beauchamp, 1st Duke of Warwick was apparently childhood friends with Henry Vl. �He was high in the king's favor and�on 14 April 1445, was created 1st�Duke of Warwick. He is also said to�have been crowned King of the Isle of Wight in 1444�by Henry VI.(Source: The History, Topography, and Antiquities of the Isle of Wight, by Willam Henry Davenport Adams)
Why is it that we have not heard more about him? Henry's story sounds like an interesting read to me. A man who was born privileged and childhood friends with someone who would later become king of England. He married young and died young with no surviving heirs.

TI escalates ARM (chip) race
Texas Instruments chimed in at the Mobile World Congress with a bevy of ARM processors.
Texas Instruments sent out a little reminder on Monday that it won't be a cakewalk into the smartphone market for newcomers Intel and Nvidia.
While Intel announced LG Electronics as its first smartphone customer and Nvidia hawks its initial mobile phone technology platforms to prospective customers, TI continues to upgrade its arsenal of ARM-design-based processors, which have been shipping for years to cell phone customers. (Samsung and Palm--and the latter's newest Palm Pre--are among TI's customers.)
At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Monday, TI announced a new OMAP 4 mobile chip platform that will allow smartphones to do 1080p video record and playback and integrate 20-megapixel cameras. TI claims the OMAP 4 will deliver 10-times-faster Web page loading times, more than 7 times higher computing performance, and 10 times better graphics performance than its current OMAP processors.
The OMAP 4 processor is based on the dual-core ARM Cortex A9 MPCore supporting symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) and capable of speeds of more than 1GHz per core, according to TI. Basic ARM processor designs are licensed by U.K.-based ARM Holdings to companies like Texas Instruments and Qualcomm that tweak the design and then manufacture the chip.
OMAP 4 platform and development tools are expected to sample in the second half of 2009, with production expected by the second half of 2010.
TI also said Monday that it is adding to the OMAP 3 family with silicon based on 45-nanometer processor technology. (Intel is also using 45-nanometer manufacturing technology for its upcoming Moorestown smartphone chip.)
The OMAP36x series will run at speeds up to 1GHz, offer a dedicated graphics hardware accelerator for 3D gaming, and support 720p high-definition video recording and playback and 12-megapixel cameras.
The silicon is scheduled to sample in the third quarter.

The IT security researchers at Rapid7 have reported a critical vulnerability in the modern flight systems of small planes allowing hackers with physical access to take control of targeted aircraft.
The US Department of Homeland security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has also acknowledged the issue. The security advisory issued Tuesday stated that the vulnerability (ICS-ALERT-19-211-01) exists in Controller Area Network (CAN bus) of small aircraft which work as the backbone in not only planes but also play a vital role in cars and buses.
Furthermore, the vulnerability would also allow attackers to access engine readings, compass data, altitude, and other readings and manipulate to provide false measurements to the pilot.
See: Hacker selling classified information on MQ-9 Reaper Drone on dark web
"An attacker with physical access to the aircraft could attach a device to avionics CAN bus that could be used to inject false data, resulting in incorrect readings in avionic equipment," CISA said in the advisory. "The researchers have outlined that engine telemetry readings, compass and attitude data, altitude, airspeeds, and angle of attack could all be manipulated to provide false measurements to the pilot."
To mitigate the threat, CISA is advising small aircraft owners to restrict access to planes while aircraft manufacturers are urged to review the implementation of CAN bus networks to compensate for the physical attack vector. In addition, manufacturers should also implement safeguards such as CAN bus-specific filtering, whitelisting, and segregation.
It is worth mentioning that big aircraft use more complex systems with additional security requirements. However, the DHS alert does not apply to older small planes with mechanical control systems.
"This latest alert around aircraft cybersecurity should serve as a reminder to the entire aviation industry of the opportunities and challenges presented by modern connectivity," said Orion Cassetto, director, Product Marketing, Exabeam.
"Every month, there are 1,000 cyberattacks across the air transport industry. At the same time, just 35 percent of airlines and 30 percent of airports believe they are prepared to deal with cyber threats today. The industry is constantly innovating to stay ahead of the technology curve, but these innovations are actually creating new vulnerabilities.
Cassetto said that while airlines are using emerging technologies to provide top-notch service to passengers but an area that's less visible to passengers is the activity monitoring and data collection airlines conduct across a wide range of applications. This information is used to improve operations that impact every stage of the journey.
See: Vulnerable In-flight WiFi lets hackers to remotely takeover modern aircraft
Machine learning, big data, and analytics are all being used to gather data and set a baseline of normal behavior, which makes threats and anomalous behavior easier and faster to identify. Systems that can detect and escalate unusual patterns and help pinpoint event timelines provide deep insight on security events that may be the source of the anomalies. Gaining access to that insight before something happens is critical because it allows officials to stop problems before they start.

It's an amazing time for G.I. Joe fans. Not only will the long awaited film G.I. Joe: Retaliation hit theatres at the end of March, but IDW has relaunched their comic series (while also maintaining a second series, written by longtime G.I. Joe scribe Larry Hama). Written by Fred Van Lente and illustrated by Steve Kurth, the first issue is the perfect jumping on point for die hard fans and newcomers to the franchise. Fred Van Lente was kind enough to talk to Biff Bam Pop via email about the new series, characters he's looking forward to writing and much more!
Andy Burns: Congrats on a stellar first of issue of G.I. Joe! First things first – can you tell us how you wound up working on the title?
Fred Van Lente: Thanks. My understanding is you have IDW editor-in-chief Chris Ryall to thank for that. Ryan Dunlavey and I published The Comic Book History of Comics with them, so the relationship was already there. One day G.I. Joe/Transformers editor John Barber called me up and asked me if I wanted to take over the book, and history was made. Or unmade. One of the two.
Andy Burns: There's a huge history behind the franchise – from Marvel's legendary run to the Devil's Due stories through to the great work that IDW's been doing the last few years. As a writer, is there any intimidation at all working on a series that has a devoted fan base with high expectations?
Fred Van Lente: It's not really useful as a writer to be intimidated by anything when you're coming on a big franchise. You've been hired by the licensor to bring your own unique spin on the property, so that's what you should do. Gosh knows if people don't like my particular take on G.I. Joe they've got lots of others to choose from! It's the joy of the brand Hasbro's created, really.
Andy Burns: One aspect of G.I. Joe #1 that I really enjoyed and appreciated was the way in which you managed to both give the series a clean slate for new readers while hinting at what happened in the recent IDW past. Was it difficult at all to balance both for you?
Fred Van Lente: Not really, as I had been out of circulation as a fan since I was a child in the 1980s, so really I was bringing people like me back into the title, synthesizing elements I remembered from past comics and cartoons with events in the newspaper headlines … while remaining completely true to the established continuity that IDW had set up in the great books they've been putting out since they obtained the license.
Andy Burns: With such a rich and diverse group of characters in the G.I. Joe world, what was the appeal of putting together the current team featured in G.I. Joe #1? And how was it decided whom would be front and centre?
Fred Van Lente: I talked with a bunch of my friends who are both comics pros and long time G.I. Joe fans, solicited their advice. I read almost all the IDW comics and poked around various web sites, like Joepedia. There were a few characters I was specifically prohibited from using, so there was a process of elimination going on there.
Andy Burns: Are there any classic characters you're looking forward to writing in the new series?
Fred Van Lente: Scrap Iron. Baroness. Destro. General Flagg. Croc Master. Hawk. Sergeant Slaughter (fingers crossed). Bulletman. Major Bludd. Wild Bill.
All but one of those are definitely appearing.
Andy Burns: How has it been working with artist Steve Kurth on the series? I loved the artwork in Issue #1.
Fred Van Lente: It's been great. Steve and I became good friends while doing Iron Man Legacy together over at Marvel, and we have a great personal back-and-forth that's a huge help in the creative process.
Andy Burns: When it comes to G.I. Joe and comics, it's hard not to think of Larry Hama and the amazing work he's done. Have you had a chance to talk to Larry at all about G.I. Joe? Has he offered any advice?
Fred Van Lente: I was lucky enough to spend last Saturday at a G.I. Joe signing in Wilmington and got to spend the day with Larry, one of the most justly beloved and lauded figures in our industry's history. The stories alone were amazing — like he would hang out with Harvey Kurtzman and Terry Gilliam in the Help! magazine offices when he was a teenager, or how got cast in the Lincoln Center production of Pacific Overtures in the elevator.
The moral of this story is that if you get a chance to spend the day with Larry Hama, DO IT.
Andy Burns: At Biff Bam Pop, we're always interested in the creative process. On that note, can you walk us through a typical workday for you? Do you have music going when you're writing? If so, what are you listening to?
Fred Van Lente: I get most of my work done early in the morning. I listen to playlists specific to that project — a process I describe pretty well in the last paragraph here. Then I eat lunch and do a lot of non-writing things, like the gym, answering interviews (case in point), making the phone calls, I need to.
It's a lot better than temping, I'll tell you what.
Andy Burns: Other than G.I. Joe, what else are you currently working on?
Fred Van Lente: Archer & Armstrong from Valiant, soon Brain Boy from Dark Horse, a zombie comedy called The Mocking Dead from Dynamite, and Action Presidents with the aforementioned Mr. Dunlavey — plus a bunch of stuff that hasn't been announced yet!
Andy Burns: Finally, is there anything you're reading, comics or otherwise, that you would recommend Biff Bam Pop readers check out?
Fred Van Lente: Sure, I just read a great graphic novel from Fantagraphics called The Hypo about Abraham Lincoln's early years — check it out!
Andy Burns: Thanks for your time, Fred!
Fred Van Lente: Thank you!
Be sure to check out all things Fred Van Lente at his website http://www.fredvanlente.com. G.I. Joe #1 is currently available from IDW.
