Merry pranksters changed famed Hollywood sign to read "Hollyweed"

Hikers and tourists in the hills spent the morning snapping photos of themselves in front of the altered sign before park rangers began removing the tarps. "But hey it's OK with me!" It was first changed to "Hollyweed" on the New Year day of 1976, when a California State University, Northridge student hung curtains over some of the letters to change the sign. -- Equilibrio Informativo

A silver and gold chip on the shoulder

Boise State’s 79-62 win over Cal State Northridge last night looks like a nice one on the surface. But it was an odd one. The first half was all Broncos. They went on an early 15-0 run and led by 26 points at the half. But the second half turned into a foul fest. For the game, referees whistled 57 fouls, resulting in a whopping 78 free throws, 29 more than in any other Boise State game this season. Fun. The Broncos made 33 of their 43 attempts, offsetting 36 percent shooting. The positive was defense, as they held a Matadors team that was averaging 80.7 points to just 62 (and seven of them came in garbage time in the final minute). -- NWCN

Scientists Boost Catalytic Activity for Key Chemical Reaction in Fuel Cells

Now, scientists from a U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, California State University–Northridge, Soochow University, Peking University, and Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics have grown catalysts that can bear 50,000 voltage cycles with a immaterial spoil in their catalytic activity and no apparent changes in their structure or component composition.
