Maryland hoops
are subject of author's noontime talk
Maryland Basketball: Tales from Cole Field
House is the title of Sun sportswriter Paul McMullen's
talk at noon on Wednesday, Feb. 19, in Homewood's Shriver
Hall. As the University of Maryland team from College Park
prepares for a game versus its rival, Duke, later in the
day, McMullen will recall the colorful, exciting and
sometimes tragic story of Maryland basketball during the
Cole Field House era. Chronicling the history of the men's
basketball program from 1995 to 2002, he will describe how
teams led by All-American players Tom McMillen, Len Elmore,
John Lucas, Albert King, Len Bias, Walt Williams, Joe
Smith, Steve Francis and Juan Dixon earned their remarkable
485-151 record at Cole.
McMullen's
Johns
Hopkins University Press book shares the same title as
the lecture and features a foreword by Len Elmore. The book
will be available for sale and signing after the
lecture.
In the book, McMullen covers the careers of coaches
Bud Millikan, Lefty Driesell and Gary Williams and also
follows the basketball program off the court, looking at
everything from recruiting violations and the death of Len
Bias to the postcollegiate success of the players and
coaches.
The lecture is part of the Wednesday Noon Series
presented by the Office of Special
Events and is co-sponsored by the JHU Press. For more
information, call 410-516-7157.

APL makes first
U.S. use of new simulation tool
APL has made the
first successful use in the United States of a new
commercial standard for developing High Level Architecture
federations, or combinations, of simulations. The new
standard--IEEE 1516--will enable simulation teams
everywhere to get results more quickly and with fewer
errors.
In work supported by the National Space Biomedical
Research Institute, the Lab used IEEE 1516 tools to augment
a cardiovascular simulation developed by MIT with a
detailed model of the right and left ventricles developed
by APL. Researchers were able to impose arrhythmia
conditions on the heart and see the resulting effects on
blood pressure and other cardiovascular measures.
