Field Biology Natural Areas
Field Biology students participate in labs, research, and field trips at natural areas throughout the country. Perhaps most significant of those areas is a 32-acre woodland known as "Hougham Woods" that was donated to the college by Mr. Mac McNaught of Franklin Tech Park. This mature forest sits 2 miles east of campus and provides numerous opportunities for students to learn about plant communities, wildlife, and invasive plant management. Recently, alumnus, Julie Evans ('11), conducted and published a pictorial survey of the plants of Hougham Woods. In addition, FC student, Megan Smith ('14) and Professor Alice Heikens are currently conducting research on the state listed Puttyroot Orchid. Their work provides novel insight into the natural history of this rare woodland species. Hougham Woods also provides a great opportunity for students to learn and practice hands-on management techniques. Recent projects include a systematic removal of garlic mustard that was coordinated by "Conservation Biology" student, Alysa Hopkins ('13) and a honeysuckle removal project conducted by members of the "Field Biology" class.
Franklin College Field Biology students also enjoy access to numerous local natural areas for field trips, self-guided learning, and recreation:
- Atterbury Fish and Wildlife Management Area (Indiana DNR)
- Province Park and Heron Park (Franklin Park District)
- Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge (USFWS)
- Driftwood River, Sugar Creek, and White River (Indiana DNR)
- Eagle Creek Park (City of Indianapolis)
- Blossom Hollow Nature Preserve (Central Indiana Land Trust Incorporated)

Air Marshal Mark Binskin to replace General David Hurley as ADF chief
- From: News Corp Australia
- April 04, 2014
FROM the streets of south western Sydney to the head of the Australian Defence Force, it's been a long journey for Air Marshal Mark Binskin.
The avid motorcycle rider, who began his career with a brief stint in the navy before rising up the RAAF ranks, has been confirmed to take over from General David Hurley in July, as predicted by News Corp Australia.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott made the announcement in Canberra this morning, with General Hurley finishing his three-year stint in the top job.
"As of July, General Hurley will be retiring. Air Marshal Binskin will be taking over as the Chief of Defence Force," Mr Abbott told reporters.
He congratulated the Air Chief Marshal on a "very important promotion" and thanked his predecessor.
"Thank you to General David Hurley for the work that he has done over the last 3 years as the Chief, but over the last 40 years as a member of our military," Mr Abbott said.
"David, I hope you feel incredibly proud of the work you've done because you have served our country, you've served Queen and country with extraordinary distinction."
He praised General Hurley for overseeing operations in Afghanistan, East Timor and the Pacific.
The incoming Chief said he had big shoes to fill.
"I have to say I'm extremely honoured and very proud to have been selected to take over as Chief of Defence Force in July this year," Air Marshal Binskin told reporters.
"I know that I'll take command of the ADF at a time of military significance as we go into the centenary of Anzac commemorations."
He described the task ahead as a "big challenge" but said he was ready to face it "head on".
Defence Minister David Johnston said he admires and deeply respects the Air Marshal.
"I do sincerely congratulate him on achieving the culmination of his obviously lifetime ambitions to lead the Australian Defence Force," Senator Johnston said.
In a statement Opposition Leader Bill Shorten and Acting Shadow Defence Minister David Feeney said Labor congratulated Air Marshal Binskin on his appointment and expressed it's "deep gratitude" on behalf of the nation for the work of General Hurley.
Air Marshal Binskin was awarded a Companion of the Order of Australia in this year's Australia Day Honours.
He has become a familiar face, acting as the Commander of Operation Sovereign Borders and fronting cameras to report deaths and incidents from Afghanistan.
Last year as Acting Chief, Air Marshal Binskin had to apologise to Blue Mountains residents on behalf of Defence, after a training exercise sparked the State Mine fire.
The 54-year-old, who grew up in Campbelltown, joined the Royal Australian Air Force in 1984 after a brief stint in the Navy.
The decorated senior officer has two sons with wife Gitte.
Navy Chief Vice Admiral Ray Griggs becomes the new Vice Chief of the Defence Force, with Admiral Tim Barrett to step up to take his current position.
General David Morrison will continue as Chief of Army and Air Marshal Geoff Brown Chief of Air Force, both for another year.

The History of Australia will see in time, what this present Government had achieved, only by then it maybe to late for my children and gran children to enjoy a prosperous and fair country which had been run and ruined by ignorant greedy big heads and skyrocket climbing Know it all's. God save the Queen and the Govenor General Peter Cosgrove.

A biker, eh? At least he will have a sense of adventure. Maybe enough to encourage a decent Army Reserve. By my calculation Defence ought to be printing for the gun clubs around about now. We left proper military buildup so long, its now late on. Maybe too late?

Let's discuss the election - not the candidates but how you vote.
Talk to me:
? Oldtimer from Fort Gratiot: "I would like to know if there's still time to get an absentee voting ballot for the coming election. If so, how does one go about obtaining one?"
There still is time. You can ask the Fort Gratiot clerk for one. These are the conditions in which an absentee ballot can be obtained:
? Your age is 60 years or older.
? You are unable to vote without assistance at the polls.
? You expect to be out of town on Election Day.
? You are in jail awaiting arraignment or trial.
? You are unable to attend the polls for religious reasons.
? You are appointed to work as an election inspector in a precinct outside of the precinct in which you reside.
? Lynn from Fair Haven: "The only way to get more people to vote is to send all ballots to folks at their home residence. Everybody would make a copy of their driver's license, vote and send in both papers. I'll be honest, I don't vote because nobody ever showed me how. I went once to vote (in my 30s) and I asked for help. Nobody wanted to help me. I held up the line and was so embarrassed that I swore I'd never vote again - and I haven't. If the ballot were sent to my home, I definitely would vote. I'm sure there are many others who feel the same as me. As for the homeless folks, ballots would be available at different sites. Please consider it."
Lynn, you should take a look at the previous information about absentee ballots. If you need to register to vote, and I'm assuming you do, Oct. 9 is the last day that you can register to vote in the Nov. 6 election. You can register at your municipal clerk's office and apply for an absentee ballot.
? Kyle from St. Clair: "I cannot emphasize enough how much the city of St. Clair is in dire need of having a Kroger grocery store. There only is one grocery store for the entire city. Kroger is a wonderful store with great deals. St. Clair would greatly benefit by having one here. St. Clair also could use the following: A smoke-free laundromat with extra-large capacity washers; a Dollar General store; a meat market similar to Zimmerman's in Marine City; and a Taco Bell. St. Clair needs the Riverview Cinemas to reopen."
? No Name: "I'm a big supporter of privatizing the Marysville EMS. I watched the meeting the other night, and I think the taxpayers need a break. Our city fathers need to understand the economic hard times. I support privatizing EMS."
? Pam from Marysville: "Our city council wants to cut ambulance services in Marysville and contract with a St. Clair County ambulance service as part of the city's budget cuts. Response time is of the essence in saving lives. As a registered nurse with 19 years' worth of emergency center experience and six years outpatient cardiac care, I know firsthand that time can be a matter of life or death. City Council, you cannot put a price tag on lives."
? Linda from Marysville: "EMS privatization? I have one word: no."
? Dan from Ruby: "On Sept. 18, my wife had a medical emergency at home. I thank the 911 operator, Tri-Hospital EMS and the Clyde Township Fire and Rescue. I feel fortunate to live in a community with such prompt, professional and caring people. Special thanks to Bruce."
? Phil the Bartender from Port Huron: "To the person looking for a power washer, call Sweeney Cleaning Co. It is the most courteous, responsible company you'll ever deal with."

Justin Gatlin (Scott Olmos-US PRESSWIRE)
The 34th edition of the Golden Gala Pietro Mennea is shaping up to be a star-studded meeting with one of the best fields ever. Watch on Thursday, June 5th at 2 PM ET LIVE on Universal Sports.
Each of the 18 disciplines (nine men events and nine women events) feature at least one Olympic, World or European champion or world-record holder. Today we preview the sprint and hurdles events.
Men's 100 meters: Justin Gatlin is still the best US sprinter. Gatlin, a former Olympic and World champion, improved his world lead to 9.87 seconds in Beijing after his sensational 9.92 in Shanghai. Last year he beat world-record holder Usain Bolt by clocking a 9.94.
Men's 200 meters: Christophe Lemaitre won three European gold medals in Barcelona 2010. After clocking 20.30 last Sunday, he will run his first 200m in the Rome Olympic Stadium. He will face Moscow World bronze medalist Curtis Mitchell, Berlin 2009 World silver medalist Alonso Edward (the best sprinter so far this season), reigning European champion Churandy Martina and 2004 World Junior champion Andrew Howe from Italy, who has a 20.28 PB and clocked 20.31 three years ago in the Olympic Stadium.
Men's 400 meters: LaShawn Merritt, who has won two Olympic gold medals and six World gold medals (four with the 4×400 relay), has already clocked 44.14 in Ponce and 44.44 twice. He won last year's edition with a 44.96, but he clocked 44.37 and 44.44 on the Rome track. This year he's only lost against Dominican Republic's Luguelin Santos, an Olympic silver medalist in London and World bronze in Moscow. The two 400m sprinters will renew their battle in Rome. Merritt leads 11-2 in their head-to-head clashes. Others who could challenge the two favorites are Pavel Maslak, the reigning European champion, and 4×400 Olympic silver medallist Bryshon Nellum.
Women's 100 meters: Two-time Olympic gold medalist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is the most titled sprinter in the history of the 100 meters. Her best time in Rome is 10.91, but she is looking for her first win in the Olympic stadium. In 2009, she was beaten by her compatriot Kerron Stewart (10.75). They will square off again this year. Fraser-Pryce won her last 11 clashes against her rival. Apart from the two Jamaican stars, the lineup also features Americans Tianna Bartoletta, Barbara Pierre, Octavius Freeman, Janeba Tarmoh and Alexandria Anderson.
Women's 100-meter hurdles: All of the hurdlers who won the most important titles in the last five years will be in Rome, including Brianna Rollins, the world gold medalist in Moscow, 2012 Olympic gold medalist Sally Pearson, who clocked a seasonal best of 12.59 this year, and 2008 Beijing Olympic gold medalist Dawn Harper.
Women's 400-meter hurdles: Italian record holder Yadisleidy Pedroso (54.54) will face a world-class field including American Lashinda Demus, the world champion in Daegu and Olympic silver medalist in London. Demus set the meeting record by clocking 52.82 in 2006.

Soccer: Real Salt Lake faces short turnaround after disappointing draw
The scoreboard read 1-1, but it didn't feel that way to Nat Borchers.
"It feels like a loss," the Real Salt Lake defender said after his team conceded a late goal to draw with the Chicago Fire on Saturday. "For sure it did. To be up 1-0 and not be able to close things out, it feels like a loss."
But RSL won't have much time to think about what could have been.
The team has a quick turnaround, beginning Open Cup play at Rio Tinto Stadium on Tuesday before continuing its four-game MLS homestand Saturday against the San Jose Earthquakes.
With the Atlanta Silverbacks next up for RSL, the team will be looking to rebound off a poor showing and an early exit from last year's Open Cup. Salt Lake dropped a 3-1 decision to the Minnesota Stars of the North American Soccer League.
"That's unacceptable," RSL coach Jason Kreis said of last year's loss, "and we're going to take a very aggressive approach to the tournament this year."
Real's regular-season schedule then features a rematch of the season opener. RSL waltzed in to Buck Shaw Stadium and captured a 2-0 road victory over the Earthquakes thanks to a pair of second-half goals from Alvaro Saborio to kick off the new year.
Saborio, however, could be held out with an injury suffered against the Fire.
"It was his left quadriceps injury that we've been dealing with, and I think that he may have re-tweaked it on that very first left-footed shot over the goalkeeper," Kreis said after Saborio's first action in more than a month.
San Jose will be looking for revenge and its first road win of the year. The Earthquakes are 0-4-2 away from home this year and have failed to score a goal in each of their four road defeats.

I have fallen in love with horse to replace Vega with.
The only caution flag that came up is his right hock has fluid around it. He either hit it against a wall in his stall, or did something to it if he layed down (underneath the shavings in concrete)
He's not lame on it or anything, but it's there.
I am definitely going to want to get a pre-purchase exam on him, but I want to ride him more and see how he is on different days and stuff like that before I decide that I really do want to buy him.
He also doesn't get a lot of turnout so he's in his stall pretty much all the time.
Could him being confined prevent the fluid from going down?
What long term side effects would/could there be? Is there anything else I should be concerned about?

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- The last time Christian Aguilar was seen, he was entering a Best Buy with Pedro Bravo, the man arrested in his disappearance, to buy the new Kanye West CD.
The wrapping and the jewel case have been recovered, but the Gainesville Police Department is still looking for the CD itself, according to GPD Public Information Officer Ben Tobias.
GPD previously reported that Bravo said hehad an altercation with Aguilar on Thursday, Sept. 20 in the evening and left him in aparking lot in the 4900 block of NW 13th Street.
Bravo was arrested Monday for obstruction of justice and is being held on a $100,000 bond.
Several days before Aguilar's disappearance, Bravo purchased a roll of duct tape and a shovel (model pictured above), but the actual shovel has not been located, Tobias said.
Aguilar's cellphone has not yet been found and the last known activity from the phone was Thursday at 8:14 p.m. when the phone was powered off. Several phones were found during foot searches Tuesday, but not Christian's.
Searches Wednesday covered areas around the Gainesville Alachua County Airport, the State Road 121 corridor and the Airport Industrial Park. More areas will be searched Thursday and previously searched areas will be re-searched now that it has been revealed that Bravo purchased a shovel, Tobias said.

Charleston, SC (WLTX) - Photos of several South Carolina politicians at a recent event are gaining national attention online.
The photos were taken during the National Federation of Republican Women's Board of Directors meeting in Charleston. The event was called "A Southern Experience."
Several photos show Senate President Pro Tempore Glenn McConnell in a Confederate uniform posing with a pair of African-Americans. Link: Photos of the Event
The photos have been picked up on political blogs both here in South Carolina and nationally.
News19 made phone calls and started asking questions about the photos.
It turns out the two people along with McConnell are Gullah entertainers who have performed at many Lowcountry Heritage Festivals.
Several other political leaders also attended the Republican group's meeting, but they were not dressed up in Confederate gear.
Alan Wilson, the GOP nominee for attorney general, was there, as was Governor Mark Sanford. Republican Gubernatorial nominee Nikki Haley also spoke at one of the National Federation of Republican women's events Thursday, but was not at the Southern Experience on Friday night.

Our trusted vets
As pet owners we believe that finding a vet that you can trust with your pet's health is extremely important. Even very common small animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs are viewed as exotics and often little time is dedicated to them during standard veterinary training.
We advise all pet owners to register their pet at a practice which has at least one vet with a special interest/experience in their particular species of animal. We strongly suggest doing this before your animal actually falls sick.
We currently use the following vets for our own pets and any rescue animals in our care requiring treatment:
Holly House is a fantastic veterinary hospital within five minutes drive of Camp Nibble. We are very grateful to have such a competent team of vets so near to us. Stuart McArthur is amongst one of the top turtle/tortoise vets in the country (great news for our rescue turtles).
Frances Harcourt-Brown is an exceptional rabbit specialist, we cannot sing her praises more highly (In our opinion certainly the best in the UK!) She has written a respected textbook of rabbit medicine and isn't afraid to perform pioneering dental surgery on rabbits. Based in Harrogate we take our poorly rescue bunnies here.

Seems safe cracking is a profitable search term in Colorado. A group of masked bandits needed help from Google search to get away with over $12,000, according to The Register.
The unskilled thieves also used WD40 instead of paint to attempt to stop security cameras.
"All that did was clean off the lenses," Colorado Springs detective Chuck Ackerman said.

Joseph Hill, 28, was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole Friday after pleading guilty to five counts of first-degree murder in the October 2012 slayings.
Lynell Hill, 26, was sentenced to 70 years in prison after pleading guilty to one count each of second-degree murder, aggravated robbery and first-degree arson, The Denver Post reported ( http://bit.ly/JO2wpk).
The sentences were part of plea deals with prosecutors to avoid the death penalty. The brothers also agreed to testify against a third suspect being prosecuted in the deaths at Fero's Bar & Grill, Dexter Lewis.
Lewis is accused of fatally stabbing five people around closing time at the neighborhood bar. One victim was stabbed 21 times.
Investigators say the five were killed in the course of a botched robbery motivated by Lynell Hill's need for money to pay for an unrelated court case. The men allegedly got away with just $170.
They also are accused of setting the bar on fire to cover up the slayings.
A fourth person who went to the bar with them, an informant for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, hasn't been charged. Demarea Harris is considered a witness.
Killed were bar owner Young Suk Fero, 63, a South Korean immigrant who lived in Aurora; Daria M. Pohl, 21, a college student and waitress from Denver; Kellene Fallon, 44, of Denver; Ross Richter, 29, a mountain lover from Overland Park, Kan., who worked for the Bureau of Land Management in Colorado; and Tereasa Beesley, 45, the owner of another Denver bar who grew up in Sidney, Mont.
Lewis' public defenders say his original lawyers failed to defend him adequately, allowing Hills' lawyers to unfairly portray him as the main player in the slayings.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Lewis. It's the first time the Denver district attorney's office has sought capital punishment in 13 years.

Originally posted by M Beck: a good discussion of techniques for keeping classes short, concise, and readable. that might be more of a style issue, but i feel it's an important one; multiple-thousand-line classes are unwieldy, hard to read, and hard to manage. Java is a very verbose language, to the point where hints and tips for combatting this backdraw would be handy even in a beginner's text.
The thing I've observed most is that beginning Java developers seem to trip over a lot of simple things. They code too many lines at once before getting feedback. They then post 50+ lines of code and ask others to spot the error that they can't figure out.
Originally posted by Mark Vedder: is there a fundamental problem with the pedagogical process - both in academia and in the available literature - used to teach programming today?[/i][/b] I often believe that the current process is too disjointed. We learn language syntax, design, UML, build scripts/processes (Ant), version control (CVS, Subversion, etc), data structures, documentation, processes (XP, agile, etc), and other areas of programming, all in separate and typically disjointed courses & books.
My dream would be a series of books and/or courses such as Programming Part 1, Programming Part 2, ... Programming Part n that taught all these areas, a little bit of time in a cohesive manner. You would learn the basics of Ant, UML, CVS, JUnit, JavaDoc, and Java Syntax as you wrote your first Hello World program; then as you wrote your next small application, you learned a little more about each of these. Most importantly, you learn about them in a cohesive and comprehensive way.
Ultimately, the best resource is a patient mentor. Development is a craft in which the master-apprentice relationship works well.
Originally posted by Jeff Langr: Steve McConnell's, Code Complete is a great book (I should know, my name's in the latest version ), considered essential reading by many. But who reads it? Most developers don't and won't bother (it might help were there a Java specific version, a C++ version, and so on). Yet the lessons it teaches are core to solid development.

Originally posted by Mark Vedder: I think the reason the master-apprentice paradigm is not working is that even when it happens, we are preceding that relationship with an academia environment in which the would be appentice is learning too many bad habits; the master is not getting a blank slate to start with. On top of that the high-paced market driven reality of the corporate world today often precludes such a relationship from occurring.

However, it always seems like the Brain Lightning never starts striking until its just the computer and I, one on one. And I know this is very bad.

Montessori Children's House
For access to content available only to the St. Catherine University community please log in using your Kateway portal login.
Montessori Children's House
The St. Catherine University Montessori Children's House is based on the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori and uses her method and materials with the idea that education should be an aid to life. Children develop independence through choice of purposeful work. The teacher gives individual presentations guided by the interests and development of the child, providing the dynamic link between the child and the carefully prepared environment.
Children make choices daily as to what they will do. They feel at home where they are able to follow an interest to completion without interruption, further developing concentration, calmness, and joy. This joy is embodied through your child's expressed desire to connect with others and to participate in community and caring for the environment with contentment and peace. Montessori's methods prepare the child for life, allowing the process of self-construction to flourish.
This three year program includes Kindergarten; serving children ages 33 months to 6 years of age. We ask that parents enroll their children with this three year commitment in mind. The first two years aid the development of independence, concentration, competence and consciousness through purposeful activity and serve as a foundation for third year. The third (and sometimes fourth) year is the kindergarten year when a very broad range of academic work is eagerly pursued by your child. Learning throughout the three years comes naturally and spontaneously with joy, confidence and ease. Upon completion of the kindergarten year, your child is ready for first grade and to continue with a love of learning about others, the world and themselves.
The Staff
Our Montessori teachers have university degrees, Montessori Level I Certifications from the Association Montessori Internationale and the American Montessori Society. They have been teaching here for more than ten years and all are certified in CPR and First Aid.
St Catherine students assist during transition times in the early mornings, lunch time, and late afternoons.
Enrollment Policy
The Center enrolls children on a first come, first serve basis. However, there is a preference given to families who are members of the St. Catherine community (students, staff, faculty), and siblings of children currently enrolled.
The school accepts children with special needs when we can meet their needs in the opinion of staff, parents and appropriate professionals.
Parents or guardians interested in enrolling their children are encouraged to call the Center. A visit can be scheduled by calling or emailing the Center and setting up an appointment with the Director.

In a Lamborghini. (Theo Douglas)
Poverty isn't just a job or maybe the lack of a job—it's an adventure! And a disease too! It's all things to all people—particularly poor people, who have to be poor all the time, and who spend just as many days as non-poors waking up early and commuting to offices they hate where instead of paychecks they get food stamps, which come on an ATM-style card now, and going to case meetings and walking through metal detectors and carrying around paperwork and basically putting in a good part-time hourly tally into hovering somewhere between homeless and solvent. Your tax dollars ARE work!
OC Weekly: When did you first know you wanted to be poor?
Poor Person: After wasting so many hours a week at a job when I could be drinking, I knew that social services would pave the way to my liver with gold . . . schlager. Everyone told me that being poor wasn't for me. They seemed to think I would be better doing something with my life.
What time do you have to get up and go start being poor?
Weekly meetings with my case worker are usually around 9 a.m. Same time as Rockford Files is on, so I'm usually late. Otherwise I tend to sleep until 10.
Do you get along well with the other poor people?
Very well. I always pride myself on knowing what it's like to walk a mile in another's shoes with a hole in the sole.
What's the dress code like?
Being poor never takes a casual day. You can't hop a freight in shorts and flip-flops! A great thing about being poor is no one expects much from you, and when you do the smallest thing they are super-proud. "You mailed that letter all by yourself? Good for you!" Back to dress code, though. You can definitely overdress. It's a tough sell going to the food stamp office in your Sunday best. Nobody is buying that. Even the county officers don't wear suits.
Do they think you are a rich person getting stamps for kicks?
Oh yeah, scams abound at stamp heaven.
What scams have you personally been accused of?
The frills of this interview blow. I haven't even gotten a single bottle of Mad Dog.
Is it even legal for me to give a poor person a gift?
I refuse to answer that question on the grounds it may incriminate me. But it depends on the level of the gift receiver. At the bottom, anything is okay. But us borderline poors—a gift can send our stamp allotment plummeting.
The big IBM machine in the sky is always watching. They don't want anyone that is doing fine on money to get stamps. That takes away from the needy. And they are right. Making $75 a week under the table is too much.
What is the most rewarding part of being poor?
Well, I must say it's nice to have a county officer call me rich for having $4.73 in the bank. And it's always wonderful to walk into a grocery store in my finest suit and be most outgoing to the cashier, only to present payment with stamps and get frowned on. That is wonderful. I know it's because they're jealous that they aren't poor like me. (Chris Ziegler)

Local actors and dozens of others walked the red carpet for the debut of the locally produced, filmed and directed movie "Billy Shakespeare" Feb. 27.
The movie premiered at the Sierra Cinema Theater to a sold-out crowd. The making of "Billy Shakespeare" was a collaborative community effort with dozens of volunteers lending their time, expertise and talent to the project.
"This film is 100 percent New Mexico and 99 percent Lincoln County," said director, writer and producer Deborah Voorhees.
Following the premiere, cast and crew gathered at Sacred Grounds Coffee and Tea House for an after party to celebrate. The movie — three years in the making — starred locals Jason Johnson and co-star Phillip Collins. The story is a comedic tryst that finds Shakespeare in modern-day Hollywood. "Billy Shakespeare" is now being entered into film festivals and, Voorhees says, they've been invited to submit it to the National Council of Teachers of English film competition.

I made a bootable usb drive with ubuntu on it (I natively run Windows 8), but I knew that only ubuntu or the like would let me find folders that are hidden this way.
However, despite booting up ubuntu, and connecting the phone to the computer, I cannot find the folders. Any help?
I also used my new Note 3, hid a regular file this way, and couldn't find it either.
