A four-year-old child was found wandering alone on the street in Schenectady and not dressed for the weather. Erin Vannella has more.
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. -- Schenectady police say a four-year-old girl was found wandering outside without shoes or a jacket.
Police say the girl was found on Eastern Avenue Monday afternoon. They say the girl left the apartment when the grandmother, who was watching her, fell asleep.
A passerby found the girl crying and called the police. The girl was taken to Ellis Hospital as a precaution.
"She was safe, she said she was cold, she was crying. And officers took her up to Ellis as a preliminary, for evaluation. And her condition, she's okay," said Schenectady Police Sgt. Adriel Linyear.
The grandmother was interviewed by police and was released without being charged. Child Protective Services will be looking into the case.

Ehukai Beach Travel Tips
Ehukai Beach Beach Rentals - the Perfect way to Enjoy Hawaii
Hawaii is famous for being one of the most exciting and naturally spectacular areas of the world. Traditionally seen as a romantic location for young couples, the island has a range of activities on offer to ensure that it can be fun for everybody. Oahu is one of the most popular destinations for tourists and there are few greater destinations available than Ehukai Beach beach rentals.
Modern Convenience and Authentic Realism
Ehukai Beach condo rentals each offer high speed Internet access to guests for free, to ensure that you can remain connected to family and friends back home if necessary. There is also cable TV and DVD facilities on offer. However, Ehukai Beach beach rentals are also authentically Hawaiian in design and style. Rooms come with balconies fitted to provide beautiful beach views and attractive landscapes. Ehukai Beach condo rentals also have communal amenities available for guests to share. Enjoying a dip in the swimming pool is a great way to meet your neighbors, as is having a BBQ or a picnic in the shared eating areas.
Get out and About in Oahu
There are plenty of engaging activities to enjoy in the local area as well. Those keen on water sports will find their tastes well catered to in Oahu. Surfing and parasailing are very popular on the island, as are other water sports such as kayaking and canoeing. For those who are less interested in these, there are plenty of white sandy beaches to relax in and possibly watch other family members try the sports. Alternatively, you can always go for a walk around the popular shopping districts where there are plenty of interesting places to eat and drink.
Oahu vacation rentals provide the perfect backdrop to an unforgettable holiday in Hawaii.

Abstract: In the broad context of Wireless Body Sensor Networks for healthcare and pervasive applications, the design of wearable antennas offers the possibility of ubiquitous monitoring, communication and energy harvesting and storage. Specific requirements for wearable antennas are a planar structure and flexible construction materials. Several properties of the materials influence the behaviour of the antenna. For instance, the bandwidth and the efficiency of a planar microstrip antenna are mainly determined by the permittivity and the thickness of the substrate. The use of textiles in wearable antennas requires the characterization of their properties. Specific electrical conductive textiles are available on the market and have been successfully used. Ordinary textile fabrics have been used as substrates. However, little information can be found on the electromagnetic properties of regular textiles. Therefore this paper is mainly focused on the analysis of the dielectric properties of normal fabrics. In general, textiles present a very low dielectric constant that reduces the surface wave losses and increases the impedance bandwidth of the antenna. However, textile materials are constantly exchanging water molecules with the surroundings, which affects their electromagnetic properties. In addition, textile fabrics are porous, anisotropic and compressible materials whose thickness and density might change with low pressures. Therefore it is important to know how these characteristics influence the behaviour of the antenna in order to minimize unwanted effects. This paper presents a survey of the key points for the design and development of textile antennas, from the choice of the textile materials to the framing of the antenna. An analysis of the textile materials that have been used is also presented.

That was me this morning, rushing to get to work!
I woke up SO late after spending most of the night ironing. I refuse to iron more than once a week even though my pile is never ending....
Thank you for all your lovely comments and for totally understanding my desire for another baby but really I wonder, would I cope? I have a hard time juggling everything and Im super lucky to have lots of support in my man, mum and mother in law...its nice to dream and ponder though and anyway who knows? Im only 36! knowing my luck my eggs would go crazy and Id end up with triplets?!?
So I dropped the boys off at my mums in their pyjamas this morning (no time to dress them) with a bag full of clothes and at 9.05am I get a call at work
from my mum that I forgot to pack Peter some jeans so the poor darling was in pyjama bottoms all day...sigh...oh well, if this is one of my bad mummy moments then Im fine with that!
Do you like my vintage babies? one is staying with me and her sister is flying over the pacific to a blogging friend who Im sure will take care of her.
I found them at The Rozelle Flea Market on Sunday....i love going through peoples things...especially boxes..you just never know what you'll find at the bottom!
I bought some old lace ribbons and scraps and lots of plastic cameo ladies and buttons, some music paper and vintage booklets - love the fonts on the lettering!!
a quick sketch of buttons and toffees.
have a FAB day!!

I've been flea marketing myself lately. It's so much fun finding old buttons and trims. If I were your age, I would definitely have another baby. I hate it that my baby is 10!
I must say I am quite impressed that you manage to juggle family, art and work and everything (mostly) seems to be in order :) Loving your flea market finds in particular the vintage music sheets and booklet. The babies are adorable too! Have a great week.x
- Erin Earls said...
My baby is 7, and I am thinking that no more is a good Idea, because 6 is enough. (Yours mine and ours) I love babies! What a find! Love the th trims and button. And those sweet babies.
- kristin said...
you sound crazily busy!! but then a mom's work is never done...i'm kind of cracking up about the pj's...i'm sure Peter will never forget the time he had to wear pj's to school!!
as for a third? well, three IS a magic number :) and who doesn't love a baby in the house?
great thrifty finds!! - 3:26 AM
- Violette Crumble said...
I never find cute stuff like that any more. It seems right up your ally!
I'm 36 too and my baby is 18 months. I do want another, but honestly I feel overwhelmed by one as it is, and then I think, "What if I had another and it turned out to be twins or a disabled child who required extra attention?" I don't think I'm there yet. It sounds like you have tons of help though, so if it can work for your family, go for it :) - 5:09 AM
- KSV said...
I am sorry you had a rushed day, but you would think a boy would love being in his pajamas all day. I love those little babies, very cute!
- amisha said...
love those vintage booklets!
i agree with babelfish... i am always so impressed that you do so much and juggle everything... home and work and always creating such beautiful artwork in the midst of it all! and you remain sane and smiling!! :) and for me a day in my PJ bottoms would be a dream... sounds lucky :) xo - 12:09 AM
- risa said...
i love those vintage papers you found! so cooooool! can you imagine what it would be like to have triplets? that would be nuts!
- cherry menlove said...
Your vintage goodies are great. I love the little babies. They would look lovely in somebodies nursery.
Cherry xx - 3:18 PM
- oldflowers4me said...
wow , you got some great things on the weekend, isnt other people's junk great, have fun , love jo.
- tpngue in cheek said...
Here is wishing you sixteen minutes to sit and sip sunshine.
I do not know how you do it all. Does your clock have more than 24 hours? - 1:24 AM
- simple me said...
I haven't been to the flea market for ages. Maybe I will this weekend. It would be a good idea.
How do you manage to do so much? Being a mum, art work, have a job, write a blog ... amazing!
I haven't forgotten about your buttons :) - 6:38 PM

Lamb of God and Meshuggah are teaming up for a September tour, that will see the bands play Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.
"Convincing judges that our show wasn't some sort violently nihilistic orgy of hate and self-destruction took a little doing."
Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe acquitted of manslaughter in the death of a 19-year-old Czech fan at a concert in 2010.
If found guilty of manslaughter, Blythe could face five-to-10 years in prison.
"I know it must seem crazy and violent. But that sort of activity is normal at a concert"
Lamb of God singer Randy Blythe has given his first interview from the Czech Republic prison he has been held in for over two weeks.
The band's management says that the singer has been "wrongfully accused... and we expect him to be fully exonerated."
Refused at 2 in the morning? Why not?
With the likes of Slipknot, Marilyn Manson and System Of A Down causing anarchy late in the evening, it was the unlikely lunchtime slot by Steel Panther that stole the show.
Hello Mr Sunshine, please meet messrs Heavy Metal & Beer. I promise, you won't be disappointed.
As this year's instalment of Soundwave festival journeys around the country, Canberra was ridiculously fortunate enough to earn a sidewave show boasting a bill crammed with three of contemporary metal's finest acts
The set lists and set highlights that we can expect from Slipknot, System Of A Down and more.
Lamb Of God talk fundamentalist Christians, Soundwave, Grammys and running for President.
Topping up a triple bill for Soundwave's metal heads, Lamb of God announce headline dates alongside their appearances at the festival.
After months of rumour the Soundwave 2012 lineup is finally here!

Saginaw police and fire departments have cleaned up the scene of an injury accident at Brockway and Woodbridge on Saginaw's west side.
Not much is known about the accident, but it is known that only one car was involved. A female driver, who was possibly distracted, was injured in the crash. The extent of injuries sustained is unknown at this time. That woman was taken to an area hospital.
A power pole was damaged during the accident but it is not known if power is out to customers in the affected area.

► LBR- and lamin-A/C-dependent tethers maintain peripheral heterochromatin ► In their absence, all heterochromatin clusters in the nuclear interior ► During cellular differentiation, the LBR tether precedes the lamin A/C tether ► Lamin A/C promotes, whereas LBR delays myogenic differentiation
Eukaryotic cells have a layer of heterochromatin at the nuclear periphery. To investigate mechanisms regulating chromatin distribution, we analyzed heterochromatin organization in different tissues and species, including mice with mutations in the lamin B receptor (Lbr) and lamin A (Lmna) genes that encode nuclear envelope (NE) proteins. We identified LBR- and lamin-A/C-dependent mechanisms tethering heterochromatin to the NE. The two tethers are sequentially used during cellular differentiation and development: first the LBR- and then the lamin-A/C-dependent tether. The absence of both LBR and lamin A/C leads to loss of peripheral heterochromatin and an inverted architecture with heterochromatin localizing to the nuclear interior. Myoblast transcriptome analyses indicated that selective disruption of the LBR- or lamin-A-dependent heterochromatin tethers have opposite effects on muscle gene expression, either increasing or decreasing, respectively. These results show how changes in NE composition contribute to regulating heterochromatin positioning, gene expression, and cellular differentiation during development.

If people think surfing the internet is superior to a netbook. They either just use it for basic surfing. So here why it suck. I bought this particular to use it for surfing the web and so far it's a bit disappointed.
1. Safari
2. No FLASH!!!
3. 50% you will accidentally will click on a link...that lead to
3. reload/refresh of a webpage everytime you hit the back button. Really really annoying. That's why I like the Opera Mini on the iPhone because it cache the webpage properly and when you push the back button you won't have to reload.
4. No stop button to kill reload/refresh of a webpage. Actually there is but it's the stupid tiny x in your address bar. Another thing is that Opera Mini have a stop option
5. Not able to select text and do a google search, youtube search or wiki search ect...another thing is that there's no Ctrl F to do a FIND for a word(s) on the strip down basic Safari.
6. No multitask make getting out of Safari is annoying
7. Virtual keyboard. Why can't they change the keyboard layout to someting like this?
Better than the netbook for surfing the internet? I don't think so.
Rating for internet surfing experience:
Desktop 5/5
Netbook/laptop 4-4.5/5
iPad 2.5/5
iPhone(Safari) 1/5
That's my $0.02

Matthew Henson biography
Famed African-American explorer Matthew Henson was born in Charles County, Maryland, on August 8, 1866. Explorer Robert Edwin Peary hired Henson as his valet for expeditions. For over two decades, they explored the Arctic, and on April 6, 1909, Peary, Henson and the rest of their team made history, becoming the first people to reach the North Pole—or at least they claimed to have. Henson died in New York City on March 9, 1955.
Early Life
American explorer Matthew Alexander Henson was born on August 8, 1866, in Charles County, Maryland. The son of two freeborn black sharecroppers, Henson lost his mother at an early age. When Henson was 4 years old, his father moved the family to Washington, D.C., in search for work opportunities. His father died there, leaving Henson and his siblings in the care of relatives.
Henson ran away from home at age 11, and was taken in by a woman who lived near his home. At age 12, he left to work as a cabin boy on a ship. Over the next six years and under the mentorship of Captain Childs, Henson learned literacy and navigation skills.
After Captain Childs died, Henson returned to Washington, D.C. and worked as a store clerk for a furrier. It was there that he met Robert Edwin Peary, an explorer and officer in the U.S. Navy Corps of Civil Engineers. On the recommendation of the store owner, Peary hired Henson as his valet for his travel expeditions.
Career as an Explorer
In 1891, Henson joined Peary on a Greenland expedition. While there, Henson embraced the local Eskimo culture, learning the language and the natives' Arctic survival skills. At the trip's end, in 1893, Henson remained the sole member of Peary's entourage—the rest of the team had abandoned the mission.
Their next trip to Greenland came in 1895, this time with a goal of charting the entire ice cap. The journey almost ended in tragedy, with Peary's team on the brink of starvation; members of the team managed to survive by eating all but one of their sled dogs. Over the next two years, the explorers returned to Greenland to collect three meteorites found during prior explorations, ultimately selling them to the American Museum of Natural History and using the proceeds to help fund their future expeditions.
Over the next several years, Peary and Henson would make multiple attempts to reach the North Pole. Their 1902 attempt proved tragic, with six Eskimo team members perishing due to a lack of food and supplies. They made more progress during their 1906 trip: Backed by President Theodore Roosevelt and armed with a then state-of-the-art vessel that had the ability to cut through ice, the team was able to sail within 174 miles of the North Pole. Melted ice blocking the sea path thwarted the mission's completion.
The team's final attempt to reach the North Pole took place in 1908. Henson proved an invaluable team member, building sledges and training others on sled-handling.
Of Henson, expedition member Donald Macmillan once noted, "With years of experience equal to that of Peary himself, he was indispensable."
The expedition continued into the following year (1909). While other team members turned back, Peary and the ever-loyal Henson trudged on. Peary knew that the mission's success depended on his trusty companion, stating at the time, "Henson must go all the way. I can't make it there without him." On April 6, 1909, Peary, Henson, four Eskimos and 40 dogs (the trip had begun with 24 men, 19 sledges and 133 dogs) finally reached the North Pole—or at least they claimed to have.
Life After the North Pole Expedition
Triumphant when they returned, Peary received many accolades for his accomplishment, but—an unfortunate sign of the times—Henson an African American, was largely overlooked. And while Peary was lauded by many for his achievement, he and his team faced wide skepticism, with Peary having to testify before Congress about allegedly reaching the North Pole due to a lack of verifiable proof. The truth about Peary's and Henson's 1909 expedition still remains clouded.
Henson spent the next three decades working as a clerk in a New York federal customs house, but he never forgot his life as an explorer. He recorded his Arctic memoirs in 1912, in the book A Negro Explorer at the North Pole. In 1937, a 70-year-old Henson finally received the acknowledgements he deserved: The highly regarded Explorers Club in New York accepted him as an honorary member, and the U.S. Navy awarded him a medal in 1946. He also received a cherished gold medal from the Chicago Geographic Society. The following year, he worked with Bradley Robinson to write his biography, Dark Companion.
Final Years
In April 1891 Henson married Eva Flint. The long periods of separation during Henson's expeditions took its toll, and Flint divorced him in 1897.
Henson married Lucy Ross in 1906. They never bore any children, but like Peary, Henson had relations with Intuit women during their expeditions. In circa 1906, Henson fathered his only child, a son named Anauakaq. Henson did not play a role in his son's upbringing, though in 1987 Anauakaq reunited with Peary descendants in the United States as documented in the book North Pole Legacy: Black, White and Eskimo.
Henson died in New York City on March 5, 1955, and was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery. The body of his wife, Lucy, was buried there in 1968. In a move to honor Henson, in 1987, President Ronald Reagan approved the transportation of Henson and his wife for re-interment at Arlington National Cemetery, per the request of Dr. S. Allen Counter of Harvard University. The national cemetery is also the burial site of Peary and his wife.

Arizona Shuts Out Dixie |
Colleges - Men's DI College |
Center David Spencer scored two tries in the match, and center Jack Arnold added a try as well as two penalties and a conversion. The victory moved the Wildcats to 2-1 on the season, while Dixie State dropped to 5-3. Arizona has played in the Las Vegas Invitational in the three previous seasons and won each time. With the victory over Dixie State, the Wildcats improved to 4-0 in the yearly tournament. "We played many young players today and in general, they played well," Arizona Head Coach Dave Sitton said. "We will need depth as we now enter the very difficult business of playing in the new PAC conference." Arizona will face a familiar foe on Saturday afternoon when it matches up against Utah. The teams have met four times in the past, with the Utes winning each time. Last season, Utah visited Tucson and, while Arizona held on to a halftime deficit, the Utes pulled away for the win with a 68-15 final tally. Utah is currently ranked sixth by Rugby magazine and will be Arizona's second ranked opponent on the season. Arizona is ranked 18th in the country. The Utes lost 41-12 to Life on Friday. Former USA player Blake Burdette handles coaching duties for the University of Utah. Burdette is coaching at his alma mater, where he also played football. He played on the US national team after college and competed in the 2007 Rugby World Cup. Arizona is coached by former player Dave Sitton. Coach Sitton is in his 34th year coaching and his 39th with the Arizona program as he also played for the Wildcats. "The Utes are one of those great brands," Coach Sitton said. "They have been playing very good rugby and producing national team players for the past five years. Arizona needs to play a very spirited and exacting match against Utah. They have turned our mistakes into Utah points for the last three matches." The Wildcats were without starting loose head prop James Vecchio (knee), and junior wing Kyle Hadinger (concussion). Freshman center Andrew Matyas remains day to day (knee). This game will be the first ever PAC Rugby Conference match for both teams. Kickoff is at 10 am PST. "We are very excited to play our first PAC Conference match," Sitton said. "For those of us who have been around for a while, our new league is without question the most dynamic, with some of the best brands in college rugby." |

CARSON, Calif. — It's described as the largest parole sweep in Los Angeles County history. More than six dozen suspected parole violators were arrested and drugs and weapons were seized in a massive law enforcement operation.
About 300 high-profile parolees were targeted in Operation Disarm. Most had spent time in prison for gun crimes.
It was also one of the largest parole sweeps in the entire state. The goal of Operation Disarm was to track down parole violators and to take illegal weapons off the streets.

Blake Hoffarber was only a sophomore in 2005, playing for his uncle Ken Novak, Jr., at Hopkins.
The Royals were in the Class 4A title game against a talented Eastview team, and trailed 58-56 with 2.5 seconds left in the second overtime. It looked bleak. A long in-bounds throw from one end of the court to the other had Hopkins and Eastview players battling for position.
Hoffarber fell to the floor, but somehow the ball wound up in his hands and, with his butt on the court near the three-point line, he heaved the ball up. Swish.
The officials conferred: Was it a two, a three? Did Hoffarber get the shot off in time? Did he travel?
And the rest ... well you probably know. Hopkins won the game in two overtimes, 71-60. The Lightning was obviously deflated and didn't mount much of a fight in the second extra period. Hoffarber won an ESPY the following summer for Best Play of the Year.
So Amir Coffey's long three-pointer -- TV sportscaster Chris Long said on Twitter that he measured it at 57 feet -- was a great play and finish. It gave the Royals a 49-46 win over Shakopee in the state semifinals.
Coffey is a sophomore, too. Like Hoffarber was.
But Hoffarber's shot was more remarkable. You don't practice that shot.
Later, he made it again for KARE-TV. It took him 19 or 24 tries, depending who's telling the story. He also made it on national TV on "The Today Show" on his fifth try.
Royals fans still remember Hoffarber's shot and now have another great one to savor.
Too bad much of the end of the game was a snoozefest because the Sabers stayed in their zone and the Royals just held onto the ball. Maybe this will cause the Minnesota State High School League to look at a shot clock.
Hope so.
EL-AMIN's SHOT
There is one other great shot I vividly remember in the years I covered high school sports. It came in the 1996 state quarterfinals.
Minneapolis North, with Khalid El-Amin, was trailing St. Thomas Academy 65-64 with seconds left. El-Amin got the ball in transition and launched a 23-foot jumper. Much, much shorter than Coffey's shot.
But it went in. It was his ninth three-pointer and gave him 41 points.
He was so excited he jumped onto the courtside table used by broadcasters and the stats crew. And then he jumped down on the other side. Maybe he was trying to reach North fans in the stands quicker. I'm not sure.
What makes the story better, though, is all his teammates followed him. All jumped on the table and off the other side.
He was a leader and everyone followed him. No matter where he led. Sure stunned some media members, I bet. I wasn't close to the "route" El-Amin took to the stands.
Hard to forget that game.
After the Gophers women's basketball team beat Indiana, coach Pam Borton said, "if we can go .500 in the Big Ten, then we're in great shape for the NCAA Tournament."
Well, her Gophers did win their next game, versus Ohio State, to get to 8-8 but ... the Gophers are not in great shape at all.
I have to make a confession -- it's good for the soul, right? -- I am a bracketology expert.
At least, as college hockey goes. All the tournament winners get into the NCAA field and then you just look at the PairWise rankings -- which some hockey/numbers cruncher genius devised -- and count down from the top, excluding tournament champs, until you get to 16.
That's the NCAA tournament field. Easy. 100 percent accurate. Don't need s selection committee except to decide what regions to send team.
In women's basketball, bracketology is a little more complicated. But I'm going to give it a shot with the help of the Internet. There's a lot of stuff on it, a wise sports columnist once said
And I found the S-factor by accident the other day, so I am well-armed. All I'm really trying to figure out is if the Gophers are in.
It (the S Factor) can be found here.
What does it try to do?
The College Women's Hoops S-Factor is a formula that attempts to mimic the choices made by the Selection Committee for the NCAA Women's Basketball Championship Tournament every March.
The S-Factor uses the following data to rank each team:
- conference regular season performance
- conference tournament performance
- wins against good and great teams
- losses against bad and terrible teams
- strength of conference
- overall record against all teams
Is it accurate? In 2013, the S-Factor correctly predicted 62 out of the 64 teams.
That's pretty darn good.
And as of today, the S-factor has the Gophers in, hanging by a thread as an 11th seed.
An 11th seed, but isn't that pretty good? Nope.
Here's why. Of the 24 teams seeded 11 through 16 a years ago, 22 were tournament champions who received automatic bids. Only Kansas (18-13), 7th in the Big 12 and West Virginia (17-13), tied for 5th in the Big East 12 got seeded that low as at-large teams. Kansas was a 12th seed, West Virigina an 11th seed. So they were the last two at-large teams in. ... That's about the spot the Gophers are in.
The Gophers, 19-11, 8-8 tied for sixth in the Big Ten.
The Big Ten had six teams in the Big Dance a year ago, all of them won 20 games in the regular season. Penn St. was a third seed, Big Ten tournament champion Purdue was a fourth seed, Michigan State a fifth, Nebraska a sixth and Iowa (21-13, 8-8) a ninth. Nobody was on the bubble.
That's not the case in 2014. Five Big Ten teams all have 20 wins and winning conference marks of at least 11-5. They are all in, easily.
The Gophers are only 8-8 in the conference. Only four teams with .500 conference marks made the 2013 tournament and only one, 8-10 Kansas, with an under .500 conference mark.
Another problem for the Gophers is their resume. Frankly, it's not very impressive.
They were 0-7 versus the five NCAA tournament teams in the Big Ten, and 8-1 against Michigan (the other 8-8 team in the conference) and the five teams below them in the standings.
Looking at their nonconference record of 13-3, the Gophers didn't play a single team that is assured of being in the NCAA field.
Their best win was over Southern Conference regular-season champion Chattanooga (26-3, No. 44 RPI). They also beat Patriot champion Navy (23-6, No. 56), Mountain West champion Colorado St. (22-6, No. 87) and Big Sky champion North Dakota (20-8, No. 93).
But all those teams will have to win their conference tournaments to get automatic bids. No real big win anywhere. The Gophers' other nine nonconference wins came against four teams who were between one and five games over .500 and three teams below .500.
Of the 32 conferences who receive automatic bids, 23 only had one NCAA team last season. Won't be much different this year.
So the conferences to watch for the Gophers are the ACC, with five NCAA teams last year, the Big 12 (7), the Big East (8), the Pac 12 (4) and the SEC (7).
This year, the S-factor has the ACC with seven, the Big 12 with five, the reconfigured Big East with two, the Pac 12 with four and the SEC with seven. ... If one or two unexpected teams make a strong run in the conference tournaments, the bubble could burst for teams barely in the tournament now.
The S-factor has the Gophers, Central Michigan and Fordham as the three newest teams in.
ESPN has the Gophers, Florida, Florida St. and Oregon St. on the bubble as the last four in.
Collegesportsmadness.com has the Gophers out.
RealTimeRPI.com has the Gophers' RPI at No. 38 (RPI is is a quantity used to rank sports teams based upon a team's wins and losses and its strength of schedule) and strength of schedule at No. 19.
That's all good, but a win against lowly Wisconsin in the Gophers' first Big Ten tournament game -- which would be the Gophers' third win over the Badgers this season -- won't help the U much in resume-building.
How about the Gophers getting to 20th wins if they beat the Badgers? Doesn't mean all that much. The Pac-12 and SEC, two major conferences, both had two 20-win teams last season left out of the Big Dance.
To ensure getting into the NCAA, the Gophers better beat Wisconsin and third seed Nebraska in the quarterfinals. A win over the Cornhuskers would be Minnesota's first this season over a team that would get an at-large bid even if it doesn't win its conference tournament.
That's what is called a quality win.
And they are certainly capable of it. The Gophers lost in Lincoln in overtime this season the only time they played Nebraska.
Arizona State coach Craig Nicholson was getting some tough questions after the No. 3-rated Sun Devils lost two games on Sunday, the first to the Gophers 3-2.
"We are not putting all three parts of the game together," said Nicholson, the first-year ASU coach whose team lost to Ball State 3-0 later on Sunday. That's his former team. "We didn't hit like we normally hit. You can't take anybody for granted."
Certainly not the Gophers, even though they come from the land of ice and cold. The No. 19 Gophers, with ace Sara Moulton on the mound, rallied to beat the Sun Devils with three runs in the sixth inning off ASU's ace.
That makes Jessica Allister's club 15-2, which is the best start in program history and the best record of any team in the Big Ten. One loss was to No. 1 Florida in a rout, the other was to Florida International 3-1 on Sunday in the U's first game.
But the Gophers bounced back from that second loss quickly. Facing All-America pitcher Dallas Escobedo -- 30-6 last season with a 2.32 ERA -- they tied the score 1-1 in the sixth on Kaitlyn Richardson's run-scoring double. Then multi-talented freshman Sara Groenewegen, hitting cleanup, drilled a two-run single for a 3-1 lead.
And against ASU -- a team which has played in six of the past eight College World Series, more than any other program in that stretch, including a trip last year, all three parts of the Gophers' game was clicking.
Moulton improved to 10-1 in the circle. She pitched a four-hitter, struck out eight and got out of a huge jam in the bottom of the sixth. ASU had closed to within 3-2 and had runners on third and second with nobody out.
But on a ball hit to Moulton, she started a double play as the runner from third tried to come home. The ball went to the catcher, then to third for a tag and one out. Then Richardson threw to second base and caught the runner there.
The Gophers, at the plate, got seven hits, including four they bunched together in the sixth.
This is a team that wants to be where the Sun Devils are at. And Sunday's win over ASU was a big step in that direction.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — A customs and border protection employee accused of having child pornography appeared in court Thursday.
Between January and March of this year, investigators say 42-year-old Steven Metz of Hamburg received a series of emails that contained images and videos of young children involved in sexual acts.
"According to the complaint, he's in possession and the complaint lays out that he was in communications with someone in Arizona that actually was the supplier of the child pornography? Yes," said U.S. Attorney William Hochul.
Agents searched Metz's home last month and say they found child porn on two of his computers.
He faces up to ten years in prison if convicted.

Where is Montreat College?
One of the premier Christian colleges in North Carolina, Montreat College is located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. The scenic main campus is nestled into sloping woods in Montreat—just 15 miles east of Asheville and three miles from I-40. Additional campuses are located in Black Mountain, Asheville, and Charlotte. We currently serve students in seven locations. Find details and directions here.
Is it a Christian college?
Definitely. We challenge our students to integrate Christian faith, learning, and life. And we're the only member institution of the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities in North Carolina. Read about our Christ-centered education here.
What does it mean to integrate faith and learning?
One of the primary books read by all freshmen who are enrolled in the class Foundations of Faith and Learning is titled Why College Matters to God. Authored by Rick Ostrander, it's also a great read for parents of incoming freshmen. We believe it beautifully answers this question. You can read the first chapter here.
Is it affiliated with Billy Graham?
Not directly, although Ruth Bell Graham was an alumna and an honorary member of our Board of Trustees. The steeple and prayer room of the Chapel of the Prodigal are named in her honor, and the L. Nelson Bell Library is named in honor of her father. The Graham's home is in Montreat. Billy Graham's grandson Will Graham serves on our Board of Trustees.
What's so special about Montreat College?
Montreat is no ordinary North Carolina Christian college. Our beautiful campus is in the cradle of the Black Mountain range, nestled in an outdoor-lover's paradise. Here, students are valued, revered, and encouraged to play their special part in a caring community. Here, professors are experts in their fields—skilled teachers and willing mentors. Our community is close, and a Christ-centered education lies at the heart of everything we do. We believe that faith in God doesn't stop at the pew—it extends into curriculums, onto the athletic field, and into daily tasks. Read our faith statement here.
What's the size of the student body?
In the 2011–2012 year, our enrollment is 755; 388 of those students are enrolled in one of our undergraduate degree programs on the main campus. An additional 367 are enrolled in graduate and evening programs in our School of Professional and Adult Studies.
What's the student/faculty ratio?
Classes are small, with a student/faculty ratio of 9:1. Students receive personal attention that is not available at larger schools.
Is Montreat accredited?
Yes, Montreat is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award associate's, bachelor's, and master's degrees. Our business program is accredited by the International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education.
What's security like on campus?
Campus police is present on campus from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., and they patrol randomly throughout the day. See our crime statistics here.
What kinds of activities are available on campus?
More than 20 hiking trails are carved into the mountains surrounding main campus—perfect for weekend camping trips or day hikes. And our Student Activities program is staff-directed and student inspired. Events may include Max Patch star gazing trips, ski trips, sheet mazes, dodge ball games, coffee house open-mic nights, or music concerts. We offer an exceptional athletic program, and informal fun is always brewing—from ultimate Frisbee games to dorm socials. Service opportunities and extracurricular activities are plentiful. Connect to student life here.
What is there to do outside of Montreat?
Just outside of Montreat lies historic Black Mountain, a small town full of old-time gift shops and family-owned businesses. A short drive on I-40 leads to the cultural mecca of Asheville, a place known for its Friday night drum circle, exotic eateries, diverse touches of live music, and specialized storefronts. The Smokey Mountains are within a couple hours of driving, while the Pisgah National Forest borders Asheville and offers room for any outdoor enthusiast. Find things to do here.
How much does it cost?

Rated 3,3 out of 5 by 390
Rated 5 out of 5 by FortWorthTraveler Spacious - Affordable - Close to Downtown
Spacious rooms. Affordable rates. Close to downtown. Nice lobby area. BEST shuttle service!!! King Corner Suite was more than enough room for our needs. Wish it had a mini fridge, though. Staff was very confused about what amenities it actually did and didn't have when asking during booking. Needs pics on website! But I do recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Canucks14 Great Location amazing staff
From the moment we pulled up into the parking lot we were greeted by friendly valet staff. The manager of the hotel checked us in and made sure that we had everything that we needed. The wine bar was good with a very friendly bartender. Our room was comfortable and clean. The location was amazing! Right across the street from the Fort Worth Water Park as well as a short walk to downtown and the Sundance Square. We would highly recomend this hotel.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MWoodard55 Amazing Property
The valet car drop was ALWAYS packed - and these guys moved cars quickly, safely & efficiently. Front desk staff during check in were exceptionally friendly & quickly got us thru the process. The room did NOT disappoint - it was huge, bed & linens were comfy and the internet access quick. Check out was just as efficient. Located close to everything - I highly recommend this property and will stay there again!

Rated 5 out of 5 by LeighPaul This hotel had everything I was looking for!
We had a great time at the Sheraton. We were looking for a hotel with an INDOOR HEATED pool, which this hotel had... very nice! This was to make my youngest son happy. To make my oldest happy, this hotel also had FREE WIFI. And to make our dog happy, this hotel also allowed pets! And the fact that the hotel was walking distance to some great parks and restaurants made my husband and I happy. The staff were great... very professional and friendly. Even though our room wasn't available until 4, they let us use the pool as soon as we arrived (around 1). The room was clean and quiet... great weekend get-away. We will definitely return!!

Hello all,
we have dozens of unlimited Multiflex licenses (including all from AutoCAD to Plant3D)
running on a Flexlm license server, and additonally sufficient dedicated AutoCAD licenses.
In the last days we registered a really massive increase in AutoCAD Mechanical 2010
usage, although there are nearly no AutoCAD Mechanical installations on our clients.
In the last weeks, these AutoDesk features -listed below - have been installed on many clients.
Is it possible that one of these applications pulls an AutoCAD Mechanical 2010 license?
Any relation between these Applications and AutoCAD Mechanical licenses?
I urgently have to figure out, why there is such a significant increase in Mechanical usage
without having it installed at all.
Thanks a lot for your input!!
Installed within the last weeks:
DWG True View 2012
Navisworks Freedom 2012 SP1 64Bit
DesignReview 2012
Autodesk Navisworks Freedom 2012
Autodesk Material Library 2012
Autodesk Material Library Base Resolution Image Library 2012
Autodesk Navisworks Freedom 2012 English Language Pack
AutoCAD 2010 - English 32 and 64 bit
autocad 2010 will pull a mechanical license if there are no autocad licenses available
the rest of the products don't require any type of license
Thanks a lot so far!
There are more than enough licenses available, dedicated AutoCAD but also Multiflex (containing AutoCAD).
Another package recently installed : AutoCAD 2010 Subscription Advantage Pack
May this have caused the AutoCAD Mechanical license requests?
no that is just an add on to autocad
what does the flex lm log say?
6:26:36 (adskflex) OUT: "86059T1MF_2013_0F" eraxxxe@xxxxx376
6:26:36 (adskflex) OUT: "71800AMECH_PP_2010_0F" eraxxxe@xxxxx376
no error messages in front of these entries. Now occurs really often.
Is it possible to increase the debug level, to get more information, e.g. if the license was cascaded ?
Thank you
is this causing a problem with other products?
It is not a problem concerning availability of licenses, since we have enough Multiflex licenses.
The issue is: our license fees will be calculated on our usage data , so we are interested that there is no
unneccessary check out of "expensive" licenses (e.g. AutoCAD Mechanical ). Now AutoCAD Mechanical
Usage has descreased below 10% of the peaks, so everything is ok now- nevertheless i should
understand the mechanism causing this behavior.
We have 10 Mechanical 2010 installations company-wide , but encoutered a peak with many times higher(!!)
autoCAD Mechanical 2010 licenses checked-out!

CPM Ireland – Celebrating National Strawberry Week in Style!
May 31st, 2012 | Posted by in recruitmentCPM Ireland – Celebrating National Strawberry Week in Style!
It's that time of year again…. And CPM Ireland in conjunction with Keelings, is getting ready to celebrate National Strawberry week in its customary flamboyant fashion. Our devoted teams of sampling and promotional staff are getting ready in true CPM-style to add a touch of panache to proceedings as they venture to a variety of Dublin events to promote Keelings tasty range of Strawberries this June Bank Holiday Weekend.
National Strawberry week runs all next week from the 4th to the 10th of June in Ireland and is a celebration of everyone's favorite fruit, the Strawberry. Ireland's climate means we have some of the world's best strawberries. Although they are increasingly available year-round, Irish Strawberries are at their peak in Ireland in June, July and August, when they are most abundant and most delicious. These mouthwatering seed-studded red berries are now more accessible and affordable than ever and are still regarded as the ultimate summertime high. From memories of happy childhoods spent stuffing your face in secret at the side of the road, to delicious deserts, perfect picnics and romantic endeavors, a large serving of delectable strawberries are the perfect accompaniment and long, lazy summer afternoons.
As a bonus, Strawberries are good for you! They are particularly high in Vitamin C, a good source of folic acid and fiber, are fat-free and low in calories! Strawberries also contribute to your recommended '5 a day' – who said being healthy can't be pleasurable and even downright indulgent! And if you needed any further reason to stock up on strawberries, strawberry juice combined with honey will calm sunburn when applied to the skin – the perfect remedy for Irish complexions suffering after-effects from our recent bout of sunshine.
Strawberries are the perfect treat to put a smile on your face this bank holiday weekend. Research has shown Strawberry lovers tend to be"health conscious, fun loving, intelligent and happy" while Non-strawberry lovers, are "weird, boring, stuffy–picky, fussy eaters who avoid healthy foods". So show your love and join our adorable lot in celebrating the scrumptious summer staple – the Strawberry!
Our colourful characters will be out in full force at the Bloom Festival in the Phoenix Park this weekend, from Friday – Monday June 1st-4th, providing oodles of free strawberries and plenty of giggles to lucky attendees.
You can catch our friendly bunch again at the Family Farm at Dublin Zoo on Thursday 7th of June where they will be distributing free samples of yummy Keelings Strawberries to anyone who pops over to say hello!
Finally, all next week our sampling staff will appear in major Irish supermarkets, providing tasty treats to delighted shoppers to promote Keelings Strawberries
Nothing says "Hello Summer" Quite like a mouthful of juicy strawberries So lash on the sun cream, dig out the flip-flops (be sure to bring a brolly too – It's a bank holiday weekend after all!) and flock to one of our sampling hotspots to join in the fun of National Strawberry week with CPM and Keelings!

Trees from India
The images are awesome, but they are totally Greek for me, since I started manufacturing home-made chocolates just a few months ago, using compound slabs for the job.
Hi Ramya,
They look lovely... Where are these trees located?
Also, how is their pH level? How long is their roast? I remember meeting a food-scientist who was told me that some beans don't need roasting altogether. How do you rate Indian beans? I'm presuming that you're experienced with a variety of beans.
Halo DIV,
These Trees are from eastern coatal area of India. Forastro, like usual asian beans acidic , fruity, Ph- 4, 4.5. need a pronounced roast. not great. I am working to improve quality and experimenting with different methods of fermentation. regards,
Thanks for that Anish,
I've been planning on travelling around the country and learn a bit more about Indian beans..
I'd love to get in touch with you sometime, and perhaps organise an event for other chocolatiers too.
You mentioned that you're working to improve bean quality and experimenting with fermentation techniques.. Are you a agriculturist or scientist ? or just an enthusiast? or a chocolatier?
As for me, i've just returned from Australia, and am exploring the chocolate market in India. I've noticed that the market is not a developed one, and most chocolatiers are, dare i say, recycling compound chocolate. Whats your opinion on that?
You are absolutely correct. Most chocolatiers use compound chocolates. Hence, you were not off the mark when you used the term `recycling.'

Photo: Matthew B. Brown (Candelaria today)
Her gaze is steady and frank. Her hands are sure at their task, as she has done this many times before. Her gear has been stacked and is being wrapped expertly in canvas into a pack she will soon hoist on her back.
It's early in Luning, 1901. The sun has just begun to touch the Garfield Hills to the west, a rugged up thrust of multi-hued rock with stern outcroppings, strange curves, and whorls of sedimentary layers. Colors emerge in the first rays of light: tan, chocolate, rosy blushes, and drops of blood red; stains of amber and honey, pale yellow and green—like a calico dress too long in the sun. Eastward, with the sun coming up behind it, the Gabbs Valley Range broods in the shadow cast by its own mass.
The woman is 61 years old. She is short, somewhat stocky, and remarkably strong and dignified in bearing. Her hair is put up for travel, revealing a face that is pleasing in its features, though just now impassive and alert. The woman shoulders her pack and steps outside. No one will know where she goes.
This could be one of the days she sets out to climb the steep, tortured New York Canyon to the east. Perhaps it was on her last trip there that she saw some promising color but had to leave it when provisions ran low. She pauses once more to consider the amount of water she is packing and decides it is sufficient. She knows where the springs are, and that bit of color, too.
The woman is Ferminia Sarras, and she is a very long way from her native Nicaragua.
From the land of poets to the land of promise, Sarras arrived in San Francisco in 1876. Descended from a prominent conquistador family, perhaps born to privilege and wealth, she may have been prompted by circumstances at home—lost love, fading family fortunes—or been summoned to California by a husband or other relation scouting the way to a better life.
She came at the age of 36, a mature woman with four daughters. Whatever else she might have been, she was already a survivor. In 1880, another calling drew her to the treeless, windswept mining frontier of the Candelaria Hills in Mineral County.
Mexican prospectors, pioneers who eventually sold out to newcomers, had extensively staked the area in the 1860s. The town of Candelaria and adjacent Metallic City were now the center of mining, while milling of the silver ore was done at nearby Columbus and Belleville. Sarras' arrival in the desert coincided with a boom in the area, but despite the arrival of the Carson and Colorado Railway a couple years later, the towns remained small, hard-scrabble, and far from just about everywhere.
Sarras' first winter in this strange, stark world—where she established modest domiciles in both Candelaria and Belleville—was memorable. Snow in late November was followed by freezing temperatures, more snow, and then rain. The brief sparkle of Christmas might have lifted Sarras' spirits but would not have distracted her much from physical discomfort, for she was eight months pregnant and on January 25, 1881, gave birth to a son, Joseph A. Marshall.
The father's identity is unknown. However, it is clearly documented that Sarras was or became a remarkably liberated woman, enjoying several liaisons throughout her life, often with much younger men, without sacrificing her independence.
Sarras soon acquired a small house in Luning, in Soda Springs Valley to the north of the Candelaria Hills. She supported her family through a variety of means, possibly renting some of her houses or operating a toll road, but she also apprenticed herself to the art and science of mineral prospecting.
In April 1883, in dangerously cold, snowy weather, she staked her first claim, aptly named the Central American, near Belleville. In 1888, with activity in Candelaria slowing down, Sarras filed several claims around Luning. Then, prompted perhaps by a tip, she left the Soda Springs Valley for Silver Peak country. Here she prospected for a decade, still not catching the big break. But something big was on the horizon, a growing market for copper, not only for roofing, cooking utensils, hardware, and nautical sheathing, but for electric and telephone cables and a host of new-fangled appliances.
Something came together in Sarras' mind. Hearing of the growing demand for copper, learning the techniques to test for its presence in ore samples, perhaps remembering something about those rugged hills around Luning, some trace of color passed over in the quest for something else. Thus it was that in June, July, and September of 1899, working alone as she always did, Sarras returned to those hills and staked new claims. More followed in January, March, and December of 1901. In 1902, at the age of 62, she trekked again into the mountains and staked 25 claims and six mill sites.
That same year, Sarras' shrewd prospecting almost magically converged with improving fortunes in Nevada's mining industry. She made her first big haul when investors bonded a group of her claims for $200,000. More large sales followed in 1905, 1907, 1912, and 1914.
Always generous, Sarras could now afford a little something for herself. While she continued her solitary combing of the hills, her prospecting was punctuated by trips to Los Angeles and San Francisco to wine, dine, and dance.
When she passed away in 1915 at the age of 74, she was honored as "one of the last of those brave spirits who dared the desert's fierce glare in Nevada's primitive days and blazed the trails that others might follow."
And follow they did. Even now, maps bear permanent witness to the passing of her strong, steady stride, the vigilance of her keen, appraising eyes. The town of Mina is named for her, and the Copper Queen Mine in the hills above Luning pays its own enduring tribute.
Women's Biographies, Ferminia Sarras
There really needs to be a historical plaque in Mina in honor of her. I talked to an E Clampus Vitus member about it, and he said that Mina is not in any Clamper jurisdiction so they can't erect a plaque. Next time I'm in Mina I'll check at the VFW Hall and see if we can set up a donation fund to pay for a memorial plaque.
