Playing in their home arena before their frenzied fans, the Runnin' Rebels raced to leads of 12-0 and 17-4 against New Mexico.
The runnin' didn't stop, but the big lead started vanishing and, finally, New Mexico caught up.
Drew Gordon had 19 points and 13 rebounds and the Lobos stunned No. 20 UNLV 72-67 in the Runnin' Rebels' home arena in the Mountain West Conference semifinals Friday night.
New Mexico (26-6) will play No. 18 San Diego State in the championship game Saturday night. The Lobos and Aztecs shared the regular-season title, with SDSU earning the top seed on a tiebreaker. SDSU will be trying for its third straight tournament title and automatic NCAA berth.
Tony Snell added 15 points and Demetrius Walker 12 for the Lobos, who outrebounded UNLV 41-25 and took advantage of the Runnin' Rebels shooting just 35.6 percent overall.
New Mexico had lost to UNLV (26-8) the previous seven times they'd met in conference tournament games.
"We were very happy with the way we started the game," UNLV coach Dave Rice said. "Shots went in. As all good teams do, New Mexico made a run back at us.
"These games in tournament settings, whether it's this week or next week in the NCAA tournament, they're long games with long timeouts. Teams go on runs and it's hard to hold leads."
Gordon's biggest rebound came with 40 seconds left after UNLV's Anthony Marshall missed a shot with the Lobos leading 68-65. Kendall Williams was fouled and made both shots for a five-point lead with 26 seconds to go. UNLV missed two easy shots on its next possession. Marshall made two free throws with 14 seconds left to pull UNLV to 70-67, but Williams sealed it with two free throws with 12 seconds left.
All of Gordon's rebounds were on defense.
Marshall scored 19 for UNLV (26-8), Oscar Bellfield 13 and Mike Moser 11.
"We came out hot. Basketball is a game of runs," Marshall said. "They made a run, we made a run. Came down to the end, like a lot of basketball games do. We just didn't convert on a couple plays toward the end and they got the win."
It was a grudge match after the teams split regular-season blowouts. UNLV beat New Mexico 80-63 at home on Jan. 21 behind Moser's double-double. On Feb. 18, New Mexico routed the Runnin' Rebels 65-45 in Albuquerque behind Gordon's monster game of a career-high 27 points and 20 rebounds.
UNLV lived up to its nickname when it ran to a 12-0 lead behind 3-pointers by Chace Stanback and Marshall and two three-point plays by Bellfield.
Bellfield's 3-poiner made it 17-4.
New Mexico wasn't down for long. A.J. Hardeman and Hugh Greenwood made two shots apiece and Gordon had one during a 10-0 run that brought the Lobos to 17-14.
The Lobos tied it at 29 on a jumper by Jamal Fenton with 1:54 before halftime and took their first lead on two free throws by Snell with 1:27 to go.
UNLV's Kendall Wallace hit a 3 just before the buzzer for a 34-31 lead.
UNLV made six of 12 3-pointers in the first half, but shot just 37.5 percent overall. New Mexico shot 50 percent overall, but made only 1 of 8 from behind the arc.
New Mexico took control in the second half and was ahead 64-56 after two free throws by Gordon. But UNLV came back to tie it on two free throws by Marshall, a 3-pointer by Moser and a three-point play by Marshall.
After missing shots on consecutive possessions, the Lobos went ahead 66-64 on two free throws by Walker after UNLV big man Brice Massamba fouled out. Marshall went to the line again with 1:18 left and made one of two. Walker made two free throws to put the Lobos up 68-65 with 50.3 seconds to go.

Policymakers and scientists collaborate to create new science-policy research agenda
One only has to be reminded of the BSE crisis and the MMR vaccine scare to recognise the importance of having policy informed by the best available science. Now, a collaboration of over fifty academics and policy makers from around the world have come together to agree a new research agenda on the role of science in public policy. The findings appear today Friday, 09 March in PLoS ONE, a leading interdisciplinary open-access journal.
The importance of using science for public policy has long been recognised, but recent years have seen a growing debate over how this is best achieved. 'Evidence-based policy' has become the desired norm, and this has led to a greater embedding of scientists alongside other specialists in public policy. In many governments, scientists are engaged at a senior level. For example, in the UK, in addition to the Government Chief Scientific Adviser, all government departments have a dedicated Chief Scientific Adviser post.
In spite of their acknowledged importance, however, relations between science and policy are sometimes troubled, and periodically erupt into controversy. Prominent examples include the acrimonious debate over scientific understandings of climate change and the continuing disputes over the use of genetically modified crops and foods.
The aim of this project was to identify key questions which, if addressed through focused research, could both address important theoretical challenges and also improve the mutual understanding and effectiveness of those who work at the interface of science and policy.
To address these issues, Professor William Sutherland, from the University of Cambridge, working with the University's Centre for Science and Policy (CSaP), convened a unique workshop which brought together 52 leading scientists and policy makers to agree a new research agenda. They came from a wide range of academic disciplines (including the physical, biological, environmental, medical, and social sciences) as well as government, NGOs and industry. Initially, each participant was invited to produce a list of questions; through a process of voting, deliberation and further voting, the initial list was distilled into a final set of 40 questions.
Explaining the significance of the research, Professor Sutherland said: "When public policy is supported by scientifically-sound evidence, it is to the benefit of all of society. In order to strengthen the relationship between science and policy, we have, for the first time, compiled a clear set of research questions on scientific advice to governments."
The final questions include an examination of how the design of scientific advisory systems affects policy outcomes (Q18), whether making science advice more transparent has improved its quality (Q35) and how to ensure early identification of policy issues that require scientific advice (Q10).
Others, for example, include:
What is the effectiveness of different techniques for anticipating future policy issues requiring science input? (Q17)
How and why does the role of scientific advice in policy-making differ among local, regional, national and international levels of governance? (Q19)
How do policy makers understand and respond to scientific uncertainties and expert disagreements? (Q29)
Dr Miles Parker, Director of Science, Defra, said: "As a science adviser to government, I want to know 'what works' when it comes to ensuring that sound evidence informs public policy. This collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to devising a research agenda was very worthwhile. Understanding the relationship between science and policy is an area of research that needs more attention."
Dr Robert Doubleday, Head of Research, Centre for Science and Policy (CSaP) at the University of Cambridge, said: "For the first time scientific advisers, policy makers, and academics who study science policy have come together through a structured process to agree a common research agenda. This is a critically important step as too often in the past there has been a serious disconnect between the theory and practice of science policy. This paper will help overcome this gap. At CSaP we are committed to assessing progress made towards addressing these questions."

Yesterday, we reported that the Brazilian royalties collection agency ECAD was arguing that bloggers owed copyright fees for the music videos they embedded, causing uproar.
With YouTube at the center of the controversy, it didn?t take long for?Google to react and declare that ECAD can?t charge such fees.?In a note, which the Brazilian newspaper?O Globo republished in its entirety, Google Brasil?s public policy counsel Marcel Leonardi?expressed the company?s ?surprise and concern? at the agency?s recent move.
As we reported, Google and ECAD have signed an agreement last year with regard to YouTube and music rights. However, according to Leonardi, this agreement ?doesn?t allow or endorse ECAD to charge third parties for embedded YouTube videos?. More precisely, he says, the company took very special care in its negotiations to ensure that users would be able to insert videos on their sites ?without interference or intimidation from ECAD.?
Beyond their agreement, Google also disputes the legal grounding of ECAD?s view that blogs owe copyright fees. As the company points out:
?These sites don?t host or transmit any content when they associate a YouTube video to their site, and as such, the fact of embedding videos from YouTube can?t be treated as a ?retransmission?. As these sites aren?t performing any music, ECAD can?t, within the law, collect any payment from these.?
The following point Google makes is even more interesting; without disputing the legitimacy of ECAD in charging for public music performances on the Internet, the company says that ECAD?s understanding of this concept ?raises serious concerns?and that ?such interpretation can inhibit creativity and limit innovation, in addition to threatening the valuable principle of freedom of expression on the Internet.?
While it doesn?t seem to be considering legal action at this stage, Google now hopes ?that ECAD will put an end to such conduct and withdraw its claims against users who use YouTube videos on their blogs or sites.??As the company reminds, anyone who uploads a video to YouTube can choose not to allow external embedding.
Do you think bloggers should pay music rights for embedding YouTube videos? Let us know in the comments.
Scans reveal how the brain juggles outdated and fresh information
Web edition : Wednesday, March 7th, 2012
As anyone who has typed an outdated e-mail password before finally dredging up the new one knows, it?s easy to remember the wrong thing. Now, by capturing the battle between right and wrong memories in the brain, scientists have found that the struggle can get messy.
The results, published March 7 in the Journal of Neuroscience, bring scientists closer to understanding how people usually manage to pull up the right memory, and what goes wrong when this process fails. ?To me, one of the most remarkable things isn?t how much we store in memory, but how well we?re able to find a memory,? says study coauthor Brice Kuhl of Yale University.
To study this battle of new versus old memories in the brain, Kuhl and his team had 24 undergraduates learn a picture-word pair, then learn a different one and finally describe the more recent pair. To create the original memory, participants were twice shown a word above an unrelated picture of a face, an object or a scene. For instance, the word ?swim? would appear over a picture of Al Gore.
The researchers then shuffled the association, replacing Gore with an image of the Grand Canyon, and showed the participants the new pair. While in a brain scanner, participants were then shown the word ?swim? and asked what kind of picture went underneath it in the newer memory.
Because specific parts of the brain respond strongly to different categories of pictures, Kuhl and his team could tell from the scan data whether the person was thinking about a face or a scene or an object. That distinction allowed the team to gauge the strength of the new and old memories separately.
When the pattern of brain activity for the older memory was stronger, the participants were more likely to fail to correctly recall the newer memory, the team reports. Even when a person successfully reported the new memory, traces of the old memory were called to mind. What?s more, when the new and old memory strengths were evenly matched, the participants took longer to answer. ?We?re seeing evidence of things people are trying to not remember,? Kuhl says.
Scientists have long suspected that an unwelcome intrusion from older memories can cause memory problems, says neuroscientist David Badre of Brown University in Providence, R.I. ?The problem with that is that it?s hard to see,? he says. This new approach allows the researchers to size up the struggle, Badre says: ?It?s not much of a competition if you have a giant wrestling a dwarf.?
The results are based on healthy undergraduates, people who generally don?t have memory problems. A similar approach could be used to study what happens in the brains of people who have trouble remembering, Kuhl says.
