Thanks for the lovely tea cups - they will always be reminders of a special time our family had on our holiday in China.
If there are any websites you would like us to post reviews, we will be happy to do so.

My young son felt at home with her, and she went out of her way to take care of him and entertain him during the trip. She was also very knowledgeable about most things that we had questions about. We were very satisfied with the arrangements.
I've attached a few photos of us having a great time. We were lucky to experience good weather in Nanjing as well during our travels, with no rain and warm temperatures.
Will definitely contact you when we next return to China.

1. Guide was excellent, helpful, informative but not intrusive.
2. Driver was very good, did not drive too fast or zig-zag along the roads. Only problem was that the seatbelt in the van did not work properly.
3. We chose your company as you gave us the best price by a big margin. Lots of companies seem to quote ridiculous prices for non-Chinese travelers.
Thank you very much and if we plan to visit somewhere unusual like this again I will get in touch with your company.

Today was a long travel day. We decided that we need to stop dawdling and get on our way to eastern Canada, before it gets too cold or the campgrounds all close for the season. So we went through four states today starting in Illinois, thru Indiana, Ohio and ending up in Pennsylvania. We paid $8.10 in tolls to ...

The weather is perfect today - sunny and 85°. Can't ask for much ...

Meet Ben Irelandgingercmann : February 5, 2016 5:00 am : Authors, Ben Ireland, Xchyler
Author Ben Ireland is a murderer.
He says so himself. "I have a bad habit of killing people in my writing." Indeed, becoming a character in a Ben Ireland story could be a death sentence. After all, this writer invented a fairyland where humans often died (Moments in Millenia, Xchyler Publishing). "My mother doesn't approve," he admits. But other than that, more »
My house is hauntedgingercmann : October 15, 2015 12:31 pm : Aunt Betty, Characters, Prose, Water Cooler Blog
My house belongs to "them."
They are everywhere. I put something away, it jumps back out. I walk down the hallway, something walks behind me. The television turns itself on, the lights flicker, a dish falls to the floor. Sometimes, a piano plays. In the thick veil of early morning, I hear them and feel them. They stalk me, they surround me, I am not alone. more »

A Walk with Thomas Murphy
And Author Julie Barnson
I am fond of my little Walks, you know . . . it's not every author who gets to act out a scene with someone else's character. So far, I have been a set of twins, a steampunked tourist, a girl who rides a flying horse, and a medical student. With that understanding, it should come as no surprise to see me play a smarmy, scum-of-the-earth gossip columnist. Anything for you.
Why? Well, to meet this fascinating young man, Thomas Murphy. He's barely alive at the end of Julie Barnson's story "Go Gentle." His granddaughter talks with him in his sickbed. But I, or rather my character, met him way back in the year 1969. Thomas Murphy just bought a farm outside of the tiny little town where I live. I am playing the journalist grand-daughter of an established local family. As a member of the media, I know that the town has a dark history. In fact, I know everything about this town; but I love to dig up scandalous new stories and put them into print.
Today's walk happened on Mr. Murphy's property. I traveled there to investigate a popular ghost story, but I had good reason to suspect that the ghost was no rumor. Watch what happened when I tried to tease him out of Thomas Murphy's barn.

This application claims priority on provisional Application No. 60/305,867 filed on Jul. 18, 2001, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates to editing of data generated by handwriting.
Currently, a variety of techniques are available for generating data while a person is writing by hand. In the present application this relates to generating an electronic representation of the characters that the person is writing by hand.
Such a prior-art technique implies that the person uses a specific electronic device which is provided with a screen on which the person can write directly using a handwriting device in the form of an elongate instrument. The electronic device is constructed so as to be able to detect and store, as said data, the characters that the person is writing on the screen. The device is also capable of reproducing the characters on the screen so that the person may see what she is writing.
Another prior-art technique implies that the person uses a handwriting device in the form of an ordinary pen and writes on an ordinary sheet of paper. However, the sheet of paper is specific insofar as it is provided with a position code coding a plurality of positions on the surface. The positions are located close to each other. The pen is also specific insofar as it comprises a device which detects the position code while the person is writing with the pen. The detected positions are stored, as said data, and can then be processed as any electronic data and can, for instance, be transferred to a computer or some other electronic device, for instance via short range radio, and be further processed as desired.
In addition to said further processing of data, the person who is writing sometimes wants to edit data directly and with the aid of the handwriting device. Then there is a need for a simple and clear manner of marking what is to be edited. The existing methods are based on a closed curve being drawn round the text to be edited. Examples of this are disclosed in EP-615,209 B1 where a variant means that a closed curve is drawn using a special end of the pen and, thus, a deleting function is activated that deletes all data representing positions inside the curve. Another variant means that two diagonally arranged corner points of a rectangle are indicated by means of the ordinary writing end of the pen. All data representing positions within the rectangle that is made up by the corner points is thus marked.
The prior-art methods are relatively complicated and require the user to be very accurate when performing the marking and also to carry out the marking in a special manner.
The object of the invention is to provide an accurate and efficient method of editing data generated by handwriting, said method affording a great freedom of choice as to how the user marks what is to be edited.
The object is achieved by a method of editing data generated by handwriting according to the appended claim 1. Correspondingly, the object is achieved by a handheld device and a computer program for editing data generated by handwriting according to the appended claims 23 and 24, respectively.
According to one aspect of the invention, a method of editing data generated by handwriting is thus provided, comprising the steps of
The method according to the invention is applicable to many different techniques of handling the handwriting and the generating of data, including the two techniques mentioned above. Each data set that relates to handwritten characters and that has a connection to position so that it can be determined to which data a marking which is also handwritten relates, can in principle be processed according to the method. By "written characters" is besides here meant anything that a person may write and draw by hand. A character can thus be, for instance, a letter, an indefinite curve, a symbol or a freely drawn line included in a drawing. A "convex envelope" is understood by a person skilled in the art as a convex polygon which surrounds a quantity of dots. The convex polygon is such that a line between two arbitrary dots on the edge of the polygon is located completely inside the edge. By "minimal convex envelope" is meant precisely the smallest possible convex polygon surrounding a quantity of dots. According to the invention, an approximation is provided in the form of an essentially minimal convex envelope. This definition means that when determining the convex envelope there should at least be a striving after the minimal convex envelope. However, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that in practice it is impossible, or in any case unrealistic, to achieve a strictly minimal convex envelope since the time of execution must be limited.
In this technical field, "stroke" is the expert term for a continuous curve formed between a putting down of a pen and a subsequent raising of the pen. The corresponding Swedish term is "penndrag", which however is normally not used by those skilled in the art.
An essential advantage of the above method according to the invention is that the use of the convex envelope to surround the marking stroke makes the method relatively insensitive to how the marking is made. For instance, a closed ring is not necessary, like in the above-discussed known document, but the marking can be made in the person's usual way when writing on a sheet of paper with a pen, for instance an extended zigzag line or a spiral. The convex envelope is adapted according to the method so as to be essentially minimal. In other words, it is not made larger than necessary. In combination with the basic definition of the convex envelope, this adaptation means that the envelope essentially connects to the extreme points of the marking. Since there are situations where the distance is small between a character that the writing person wants to edit and a character that should remain unchanged, it is desirable to have a method of identifying the marking which is accurate. When using the inventive method, it is possible to achieve great accuracy and yet short calculation times for determining an essentially minimal convex envelope.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the actual determination of the envelope implies that the convex envelope has an extent in a starting position and that the extent is then adapted to the marking as made, so that the marking stroke, or, if desired, the data representing the marking stroke, is precisely surrounded by the envelope, i.e. according to some rule belongs to the envelope, or, if desired, is located within the envelope. This figurative terminology originates from the idea that the envelope is illustrated on a writing surface by drawing the edge of the envelope round the marking as made. Preferably the envelope has in the starting position a minimum extent which is then extended according to a suitable algorithm until the marking is surrounded. The envelope can, in terms of definition, have the extent zero in the starting position.
According to another embodiment of the invention, the minimal convex envelope is approximated with a convex envelope consisting of a plurality of intersecting planes. In this embodiment, the time of execution for determining the convex envelope can be controlled particularly well. Besides, for different devices and different applications, different numbers of planes and, thus, easier or more complicated calculations, but also a more or less approximative restriction of the marking, can be selected according to means and needs. The term "plane" here relates to the mathematical geometry as defined by the plane equation Ax+By+Cz+D=0. In a two-dimensional case, which at least currently should be the most frequent, C=0. It means that the plane is parallel with the z axis. The representation in the x-y plane will then be a line which is given a direction represented by the normal (A,B) of the plane/line. Thus, the line can also be regarded as a vector. Consequently, it should be possible to use, in a two-dimensional case, the equation of the straight line, but in order not to confuse the reader, the plane equation is maintained as the form of the definition. Moreover, the plane equation is advantageous for computerized calculations. The term "plane" will thus be used throughout the present application even in the case where only one line is illustrated in an associated figure.
According to one more embodiment, the marking stroke is seen as a formation which comprises one or more positions. For instance, in the case where the handwritten characters are detected/read and stored electronically, a quantity of positions is usually obtained in connection with the transfer to the electronic representation by the detection taking place in discrete moments at a certain detecting frequency, or sampling frequency. The extent of the convex envelope is changed for each position by relating the position to the location of each plane, one plane at a time, and moving the plane if the position according to a location criterion is positioned on the outside of the plane and, thus, outside the convex envelope, so that the position is located in or on the inside of the plane, and thus within the convex envelope. The expression "within the convex envelope" thus comprises according to this embodiment the limit position where a position is located in a plane. Since the number of planes is constant, a constant execution time for the processing of each position is obtained, which is advantageous.
According to the invention, the remaining data that is positioned within the envelope is identified, i.e. the character or characters or the part or parts of a character that is/are surrounded by the edge of the envelope. This remaining data is to be found among the characters written before the marking stroke. More specifically, data is searched for one or more strokes performed before the marking stroke, and it is determined for each stroke whether at least a part thereof is positioned within the envelope. The operation is then carried out either on precisely the remaining data that is positioned within the envelope or on whole strokes, even if only a part of one or more strokes is represented among said remaining data.
The last-mentioned embodiment, i.e. a whole stroke being edited even if only a part thereof is positioned within the envelope, is advantageous, for instance, if the writing person wants to make a marking that is a single stroke, for instance an inclined stroke over a character that the writing person wants to delete. When the minimal convex envelope for such a marking is determined, probably only a part of the character to be deleted will be positioned within the envelope. Consequently it does not matter in this embodiment, and the entire character is edited, provided that it is a single stroke or that all the strokes involved are touched by the marking stroke.
On the other hand, it is sometimes important that only precisely the data that is surrounded by the envelope be affected. The marking alternative that is applicable can be conditioned, for instance by how the marking is performed. There are many conceivable variants, a favorable variant being that an essentially straight stroke indicates that the operation is to be carried out on the whole stroke whereas all other forms of marking indicate that exactly what is positioned within the envelope is to be edited.
The above described method for determining the envelope can in many respects be used also to determine what data is positioned within the envelope. By each stroke according to an embodiment being represented by one or more positions, the location of each position in relation to the plane of the envelope can, as stated above, be determined, and if it is established that the position is located within the envelope, it is identified to be included in data that is to be edited. Then the operation is carried out starting from said data that is to be edited.
There are a plurality of conceivable operations. A closely related operation is to delete a marked character, i.e. to delete corresponding data. Another example is choice of colors, i.e. that data when presented on a display is shown in a selected color. Further examples are copying the marked character and formatting, i.e. choice of e.g. line thickness, hatching, font etc.
The method further comprises detection of an editing being initiated. Such an initiation can be carried out in different ways depending on the technique that is used for the writing and the generating of data. According to an embodiment of the inventive method, it is detected that the writing person places a handwriting device within an initiating area on a surface. In other words, a particular initiating area is marked on or beside the writable surface. For instance, a small box may be involved, marked with "Edit" for editing. When the device is applied against the initiating area, this will be detected. According to different embodiments of the invention, the detected initiation results in either the immediately preceding or immediately following stroke with the writing device being assumed to be the marking stroke. Other variants are, of course, feasible, but less natural to the writing person.
The invention and additional advantages will now be described in more detail by way of embodiments and with reference to accompanying drawings, in which
An embodiment of the method of editing data generated by handwriting according to the invention will now be described for the case where the actual writing equipment is a writing device 31 and a writing surface 33 of a special type as illustrated in
The writing device 31 further includes a transceiver 37 for wireless transfer of information across short distances. In addition to radio, for instance IR light and wire connection are conceivable alternative transferring techniques. Thus the writing device is adapted to transfer position data for the read positions, preferably wirelessly by means of short range radio, to another device 39, for instance a server which preferably is reached via a PC, PDA or the like, or via a mobile phone. As a result, the written characters can easily be sent to, for example, an electronic device which comprises a display on which they can be shown. When data is edited, it is thus possible to edit data that has been stored locally in the pen 31 and/or edit data that has already been sent to another device.
For the sake of simplicity, let us assume that a user of the pen 31 has written the word "ANDRA" as shown in
The next measure of the user is to mark the letter that is to be deleted by drawing an undulating stroke 21, see
Now begins the determination of a convex envelope that is to surround the marking stroke 21. To facilitate the operation of the processor, the convex envelope, which below is also referred to as the envelope only, is approximated with a number of planes forming a polygon. The number of planes varies significantly with the application, but, as an example, it may be mentioned that 50-60 planes function well in the application involving writing on a position-coded sheet of paper that has been described above. The planes are preferably rotated round a common axis so that the angle between two arbitrary planes, which are located close to each other in terms of angle, is the same for all planes. In other words, the angles for the normals of the planes are uniformly distributed over an entire revolution. Initially the planes are located as shown in
As shown in
With reference to the flow chart in
Then the first position in the marking stroke, i.e. dot 61, is identified, box 703, and all planes P0-P3 are moved, box 705, so that they include the first dot 61, see
According to the plane equation Ax+By+Cz+D=0 C=0 for all planes P0-P3. When the planes P0-P3 are initiated, the first position in the marking stroke is selected as the common dot, and D is determined. Let us assume, for the sake of simplicity, that the selected dot 61 is in the origin of coordinates in the x-y plane. This means that D=0. The normals N0-N3 are defined as unit normals, and therefore we obtain the following combinations of A and B as well as the following plane equations
P0: A=−1, B=1=> −x+y=0;
P1: A=1, B=1=> x+y=0;
P2: A=1, B=−1=> x−y=0; and
P3: A=−1, B=−1=> −x−y=0
The next step in the determination of the convex envelope means that the next position, if available, is selected for processing, box 707 and box 709. In this case there is a next position in the form of the dot 62. A calculator, K, is set to zero, box 711. The location of the dot 62 is the next to be related to each plane. As location criterion, box 713, use is made of the definition that a dot is located to the left of a plane and, thus, outside the convex envelope which is made up by the planes P0-P3 if the coordinates of the dot, which are inserted into the equation of the plane, give a negative result. The plane is then moved so that the result will no longer be negative, box 715. In this simple example, the plane is moved so that the result will be zero.
For dot 62, the following takes place. The plane equation for the first plane P0 will be −x+y=−2+1=−1. Thus the plane need to be moved. This means that a new D is determined as follows: −x+y+D=0=> D=x−y=2−1=1. The new equation for P0 will thus be −x+y+1=0. The new location of the plane P0 is evident from
If, however, K<4, calculations are carried out for the second plane P1 corresponding to those for the first plane P0. The calculations give: x+y=2+1=3 which means that the location of the plane P1 is unchanged. For the third plane P2, the following is obtained: x−y=2−1=1, which causes an unchanged location. Finally, for the fourth plane P3 the following is obtained: −x−y=−2−1=−3=> new D=3, i.e. a new plane equation −x−y+3=0.
After the processing of the second dot 62, the extent of the envelope has increased and is defined by a rectangle whose corners consist of the intersecting points between P0 and P3; P0 and P1; P1 and P2 and respectively P2 and P3. The two dots 61 and 62 are placed in diagonally opposite corners of the rectangle, more specifically in the intersecting points between P1 and P2 and respectively between P0 and P3.
Next, from step 707, the third dot 63 is processed, whose coordinates are (4, −1). For the first plane P0 the following is obtained: −x+y+1=−4−1+1=−4. Once more this plane needs to be moved. The new equation will be: −x+y+5=0. The locations of the remaining planes are unchanged. However, it is to be particularly noticed that the equation for the fourth plane P3 will be −x−y+3=−4+1+3=0, i.e. the third dot 63 is located in the fourth plane after the above-described displacement. The resulting convex envelope is a further extended rectangle where a new corner point instead of the second dot 62 is the third dot 63, as shown in
Now consider once more the more complex example in
There are at least two different alternatives to determine which data is actually intended by the user by means of the marking. One aspect is that exactly what is located within the envelope is that on which the operation is to be carried out. Another way of looking at the matter is that the user relates to the whole stroke only. Even if only a portion of a stroke, in the extreme case a single position, is located within the envelope and the rest outside, it is assumed that the user intends to do something with the whole stroke. The last-mentioned way of looking at the matter is illustrated in
Many different operations are feasible, for instance those disclosed in Applicant's International Patent Application PCT/SE01/00585.
The above description involves merely non-limiting examples of how the invention can be implemented. Many modifications are feasible within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
One example of an alternative embodiment is an application to a different type of equipment for handwriting, viz. a hand-held computer or like electronic device where the user writes directly on a screen, for instance an LCD screen or a pressure-sensitive screen, and what is written is stored merely electronically. In this case there is a possibility of feedback which makes it possible for the user to directly see the result of an editing. Further examples of other types of writing equipment are digital white boards, digital flipcharts and digital notebooks. There are also other options as regards position determination of the writing device. The method according to the invention is, however, carried out in the same way as when using pen and paper.
Merely two-dimensional applications have been described in more detail above. The invention also concerns three-dimensional applications. The method is carried out in an essentially equivalent manner. An example of application is in a device for virtual reality where a hand-held unit can be used to create three-dimensional products as well as edit the same by moving one's hand in the air.
There are differences as regards details. For instance, when the approximation with planes is used as description of the convex envelope, the plane equation contains a variable z normal. In other words, also C is different from zero in the plane equation Ax+By+Cz+D=0.

Not Bad
I really like these protectors. They adhere better than crazy glue or liquid nails or any other super adhesive that I can think of. The only thing I don't like is that they hold scratches or any little nick. It doesn't go through to damage the phone screen but you end up with these little marks that you're constantly trying to get off.

Feb 6, 2012 at 2:49 pm #1285286
Hi People,
Looking for some info regarding Sleeping pad R-Values and cold weather comfort. I'm going to upgrade from my Ridgerest because I just can't stand it anymore. I was looking at a BA Insulated Air Core, thinking that it would be warm enough, but then saw Richard Nisley's comments here:
In that thread, Richard mentions that the BA Air Core actually has an R-Value of 1.8 (as opposed to the advertised 4.1). Also, the chart seems to indicate that you need about an R4.5 to get down to 35 degrees and something at about an R6.5 to get down to about 15 (my target low temp). Also, an uninsulated air pad (R1) appears to only be good for about 72 degrees.
I'm skeptical of this data, because I'm a cold sleeper and have comfortably taken my ridgerest about 15 degrees colder than I should be able to. Or perhaps more appropriately, I'm skeptical that the R-Value performances are the same for pads as they are for sleeping bags.
Based on this info, I have some follow up questions:
-have there been any updates to how r-values translate to pad performance?
-Are the newer BA Insulated Air Cores still in the upper 1's?
-How low can a person typically take an R1 pad (air mattress)?

The BA Air Core and BA Insulated Air Core are two quite different pads!
Check the State of the Market report series on sleeping pads that BPL issued last August:
Note especially that the tested R-value varies widely with the amount of inflation. If you inflate your pad fully (assuming you can stand to sleep on that hard a surface), you'll get the highest R value. If you like your pad really squishy (as I do), the tested R-value will be quite a bit less. Probably the average R-value shown in the ratings is as close as you'll get to real-life use.
Clearly, individuals differ as to how much insulation they need underneath. However, I have read that the EN13537 tests of sleeping bags specify a mat with R-value of 5 for a 20*F/-7*C sleeping bag. I haven't been able to confirm this, but it's pretty much what I've found from experience.
From Part 1 of the above cited SOTM article: "If you must have an answer for a winter mat, a minimum R-value of 5 would be a good starting point. Below that and you may have some problems, depending on how you sleep and other conditions as outlined above. A mat with an R-value above 6 should be fairly reliable, even comfortable. Note that what a mat offers does seriously depend on how thick it is in the field, and this is a major topic for Part 2."
Then, of course, there's the difference between frozen ground and snow (the latter is usually warmer once your body heat goes through the pad and starts to melt it).
Also check Mark Verber's encyclopedic website (page down to the sleeping pad section):

Kier—I lost interest and couldn't stand my Ridgerest in 1984 and never went back, due mainly to comfort and warmth. Throw one on a sheet of ice and you'll quickly understand. In the years since I've been thru every conceivable Thermarest and the Prolite Plus has become my go-to three season pad and the Exped Downmat my winter pad (at 8R—very nice).Feb 6, 2012 at 11:30 pm #1835612
Thanks for the wealth of info!Feb 7, 2012 at 10:18 am #1835766

I had no problems sleeping on a ba iac at 40 sans clothes. I would assume I could easily go lower with clothing. However, I am not a cold sleeper. A buddy of mine who was a very cold sleeper was also able to sleep on a ba iac with minimal clothes (maybe none, we were in separate tents), but just barely. He said the pad felt a little cool.Feb 7, 2012 at 10:47 am #1835784
Thanks Larry. The whole reason I'm looking at the BA IAC, beyond 2.5" of comfort, was thinking that I'd have one pad for solid three season use. But in order for a pad to fit 3 season use, it needs to be able to stay comfortable down to 20 degrees or so. I guess I could take along my ridgerest to layer on top of it, but I'm trying to keep this simple and relatively light. I'm willing to pay the 6oz penalty in the summer if it would pay off with a 10oz penalty in the spring and fall (by skipping two pads).
hmmm…Feb 7, 2012 at 11:00 am #1835793

A couple of weeks ago I used my BA IAC for 2 nights.
The first night it got down to 35 and I was comfortable.
The next night it got down to 25 and I was miserable (very cold).
I've had that pad for years and it's pretty consistent with my prior experiences with it.
Some of that may be attributable to inflating the pad by mouth both nights. I expect the the buildup of moisture did not help.Feb 7, 2012 at 3:05 pm #1835930
Thanks John. I'm starting to think that a sub 24 ounce pad that can take me down to 20 or 15 degrees isn't going to happen. I may have to shoot for the BA IAC and accept that in the colder parts of the shoulder seasons I'll have to layer on the ridgerest.Feb 7, 2012 at 3:44 pm #1835953

Kier, how about the newly released NeoAir Xtherm? It's a full length pad with an R-value of 5.7 for 15 ounces. Not cheap, but that should be all the pad you need to get to 15 or 20 degrees.Feb 7, 2012 at 3:46 pm #1835956

You may want to check these out. I purchased both and will be testing them the 17 th through the 21st. I have slept one night on the allseason and it was impressive.Feb 7, 2012 at 4:00 pm #1835963
The Neoair allseason isn't that much more R value compared to the BA IAC, so I was going to have to bring extra ground insulation anyways, so why spend the extra $$$?
However, I hadn't seen the xtherm, and that is pretty impressive. It's a lot more than I wanted to spend, but 15oz for a 5.7 r-value is very nice. That might be the pad I'm looking for and worth saving a few more pennies for.

The NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Committee announced the tournament bracket on Monday.
The No. 8 nationally-ranked University of Akron men's soccer team will host Indiana in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
UA (16-3-1), winners of the Mid-American Conference regular-season and tournament titles, will kick off against the defending NCAA champion Hoosiers (8-11-2) at 7 p.m. Thursday at FirstEnergy Stadium-Cub Cadet Field. The winner will advance to face host and No. 9-seed Marquette (12-5-2) at 2 p.m. Sunday.
Also seeded in the Zips' region are No. 1 UCLA (11-3-4), No. 8 Virginia (10-5-5) and No. 16 UMBC (16-1-2). The remaining top-four seeds went to No. 2 Washington (14-1-4), No. 3 Notre Dame (12-1-6) and No. 4 California (12-4-2).
The 2013 College Cup will be played at PPL Park in Philadelphia, Pa., on Dec. 13 and 15.
When postseason play begins, the Zips will join an elite group of just eight Division I programs that have qualified for the NCAA Championships in each of the past seven seasons. Connecticut, Indiana, Louisville, Maryland, South Florida, UCLA and Virginia can share that claim with UA, the 2010 national champions.
In all, the Zips, who have won six consecutive matches and are unbeaten in their last 10 (9-0-1), will be making their 28th all-time appearance in the NCAA postseason. UA has advanced to the Round of 16 in each of the last five seasons and captured the school's first national championship in any sport in 2010.
As the No. 5 seed last fall, Akron defeated Michigan in the second round at FirstEnergy Stadium – Cub Cadet Field before being eliminated by Creighton in a penalty kick shoot out in the following round.
Indiana, which went 2-4 in the Big Ten during the regular season, earned the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament by winning the Big Ten Tournament. In order to do so, the Hoosiers had to defeat Michigan (2-1 OT), Penn State (0-0, 5-3 PKs) and Michigan State (1-0). IU defeated Georgetown (1-0) to win the NCAA Championship last year in Hoover, Ala.

How Do You Deal with Interruptions?
How well do you deal with interruptions at work? Implement immediately these 3 strategies from best-selling author, coach, and professional speaker Dr. Joey Faucette.
Interruptions intrude into political debates, marriage conversations (and other intimate activities if you have children at home), and your work flow.
How well do you deal with interruptions?
Implement into your work flow these three strategies for dealing well with interruptions and watch as your sales increase with greater productivity and you get out of the office earlier:
There is a line in the movie Pulp Fiction that goes something like this: "Are you really listening or just waiting to talk?"
As we really listen to each other, our eyes contact, our intellect and emotions connect, and we give full attention to the communication experience. An interruption-
The common courtesy of listening isn't so common these days with mobile technology's immediacy ever in hand.
The path to extreme productivity lies in really listening to people and projects. When you listen, you focus intently and deflect interruptions.
Interruptions happen regardless of how well you listen. A client calls. A customer walks in. A team member has a question.
Locate your interruptions strategically. Establish appointments with yourself to return voice mail calls and emails. Create team meeting experiences and push others to jot down questions and bring them to that time.
When you must put out a fire, locate your place in the project or the conversation. Think of it as a bookmark, or dog-earing a page. Jot a post-it note. This simple act reduces your search time in getting back into the flow.
Sometimes an interruption is fortuitous. It intrudes with new information that is directly applicable to a person or project. Leverage it in that moment with gratitude.
Or, the interruption brings knowledge relevant to another task on your to-do list. Locate it for easy reference later. Make a quick note for later leverage and return to the person or project at hand. By doing so, you keep your current listening engaged, locate it readily when you're ready, and leverage the interruption, transforming it from pain to profit.
Sure, interruptions happen daily. When you listen, locate, and leverage them, you implement your profitable actions with greater productivity while increasing sales so you leave the office earlier to do what you love with those you love.
You enjoy a Work Positive lifestyle!

Finally, Oxford University is getting its head around the dire state of its finances. That is why it produced a Green Paper this week calling for the number of overseas students to be increased at the expense of home students. It is all credit to John Hood, Oxford's new vice-chancellor, that Oxford is taking such a hard look at how it operates, and coming up with some sensible solutions. The fact is that the university has been growing steadily for the past 50-odd years at an average rate of 1.5 per cent a year. In contrast, as the Green Paper explains, staff numbers have remained static. In the 20 years between 1979 and 1999, the staff-student ratio deteriorated from 9.5 to 13.2. The size of the student body - 11,000 - is much bigger than an American Ivy League university.
Teaching all these students is very expensive, especially when you're using the Oxford tutorial system. And academics are under immense pressure. Teaching and administrative loads are significantly heavier than in Berkeley, Harvard and Princeton. And those workloads affect staff performance and make it difficult to keep good researchers. Oxford needs to compete with the best and maintain its world-class status. That is why it has to get a grip on its finances. Increasing overseas students, from 7-8 per cent to 12-15 per cent, is a modest proposal when compared with the 50 per cent of overseas students at the London School of Economics. Overseas students bring in a good deal more money than home students and keep institutions solvent. All universities, including former polytechnics and technological powerhouses like Imperial College London, are doing the same thing.
Hood deserves congratulation for asking the right questions and hiring a firm like McKinsey (on a pro bono basis) to come up with the answers. He has done the job amazingly speedily considering he arrived only last autumn. His action shows what can be done if you hire a vice-chancellor from outside the system - especially when that man has a background of running New Zealand's second biggest conglomerate. Hood knows about cash flows and the importance of calculating budgets for the depreciation of new labs. Cambridge may find itself having to take similar action. The signs are that Hood has only just begun the great project of transforming Oxford for the 21st century. The Green Paper mentions the need to reform the university's decision-making machinery to make it less bureaucratic and cumbersome. That could be an even bigger job.

Milk bank helping new mothers
Reporter: Hamish Fitzsimmons
KERRY O'BRIEN: Still on motherhood - while breastfeeding isn't of course the only option to feed babies, it's acknowledged by the World Health Organisation as the ideal food for the healthy growth and development of infants but many women have trouble producing enough milk or in cases of premature birth, producing milk at all, and have had to use formula. Now Australia's first breast milk bank in Perth is providing mothers with an alternative and drawing international praise along the way. Hamish Fitzsimmons reports.

The Past
Thou unrelenting Past!
Strong are the barriers round thy dark domain,
And fetters, sure and fast,
Hold all that enter thy inbreathing reign.
Far in thy realm withdrawn,
Old empires sit in sullenness and gloom,
And glorious ages gone
Lie deep within the shadow of thy womb.Childhood, with all its mirth,
Youth, Manhood, Age that draws us to the ground,
And last, Man's life on earth,
Glide to thy dim dominions, and are bound.
Thou hast my better years;
Thou hast my earlier friends, the good, the kind,
Yielded to thee with tears—
The venerable form, the exalted mind.
My spirit yearns to bring
The lost ones back—yearns with desire intense,
And struggles hard to wring
Thy bolts apart, and pluck thy captives thence.
In vain; thy gates deny
All passage save those who hence depart;
Nor to the streaming eye
Thou giv'st them back—nor to the broken heart.
In the abyss hide
Beauty and excellence unknown; to thee
Earth's wonder and her pride
Are gathered, as the waters to the sea;
Labors of good to man,
Unpublished charity, unbroken faith,
Love, that midst grief began,
And grew with years, and faltered not in death.
Full many a mighty name
Lurks in thy depths, unuttered, unrevered;
With these are silent fame,
Forgotten arts, and wisdom disappeared.
Thine for a space are they—
Yet shalt thou yield thy treasures up at last:
Thy gates shall yet give way,
Thy bolts shall fall, inexorable Past!
All that of good and fair
Has gone into thy womb from earliest time,
Shall then come forth to wear
The glory and the beauty of its prime.
They have not perished—no!
Kind words, remembered voices once so sweet,
Smiles, radiant long ago,
And features, the great soul's apparent seat.
All shall come back; each tie
Of pure affection shall be knit again;
Alone shall Evil die,
And Sorrow dwell a prisoner in thy reign.
And then shall I behold
Him, by whose kind paternal side I sprung,
And her, who, still and cold,
Fills the next grave—the beautiful and young.

By Sharon Silke Carty, USA TODAY
DETROIT Steve Rattner says he is surprised — and dismayed — that his new book, Overhaul, which tells the story of his time leading President Obama's automotive task force, has been boiled down by many to a few shocking sound bites.
The book, which officially went on sale Monday, chronicles Rattner's perspective on the auto-industry bailout as it played out in the five intense months he was on the job. Taxpayers' final bill, according to Rattner's tally at the end of the book, comes to $81.8 billion under both the Bush and Obama administrations.
He says he hoped the tale would show how bold moves taken by the Obama administration saved the auto industry overall from an imminent collapse. But instead, he says, people are focusing on juicy quotes, such as when White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel dismissed concerns of the United Auto Workers union, a staunch administration ally, with a colorful "f ——— the UAW."
"It was disappointing for me to have people focus on a phrase that I put in to humorize things, and not the meat of the book," Rattner says.
Of course, given that Rattner titled one of the book chapters with Emanuel's quip, it was sure to get some level of attention.
But Rattner, a lifelong Democrat, thought it would prove that there were no sacred cows in the Obama administration. Even though the UAW is a longtime Democratic party stalwart, he says Obama made it clear that union workers, CEOs, bondholders, dealers, suppliers and anyone else with a stake in the industry would have to sacrifice.
Industry problems began in the fall of 2008, as automakers dealt with customers' panic in the banking collapse and with a resulting credit crunch that left dealers unable to get loans for the customers who still wanted to buy cars. Sales already had been sluggish for the domestic automakers' most profitable products as rocketing gas prices caused consumers to rethink buying big SUVs and trucks.
Rattner's narrative stretches back to before he was asked to join the task force in November 2008 — to October 2008, when General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner first asked for government help. Rattner says Wagoner didn't know how much he needed, but said the company was bleeding money and had to have help to survive.
Wagoner was eventually fired by the administration after it took charge. His calm demeanor didn't play well in Washington, where he was perceived as aloof and out of touch with reality. And he refused to consider bankruptcy as an option, Rattner says, which at first shocked the task force, before it simply annoyed them.
"The way he dealt with it was irresponsible," Rattner says. "He was not even willing to pursue it."
Wagoner had argued that bankruptcy would push customers even farther away. No one wants to buy a car from a company that may not be around in a few years to fix it, he argued.
The auto task force tried to find evidence that supported his claims about likely consumer reaction, or facts to refute them, but couldn't find either.
"There wasn't anything to back up his claims, or to prove him wrong," Rattner says. In the end, it didn't matter: "We felt we had no choice."
Early on, the task force had decided Chrysler could not avoid bankruptcy. Eventually, they pushed Chrysler and GM into government-backed bankruptcy reorganization, hammering out details in tense negotiating beforehand so both emerged within weeks.
Other telling details in the book include an account of a one-day trip by the task force through Detroit. The trip involved a stop at GM's technical center and a tour of a Chrysler plant in Detroit. As the task force raced back to the airport through Detroit's typically subdued rush-hour traffic, one member of the team wondered aloud: "Where are all the people?"
By his reckoning in the book, Rattner declares the auto bailout "an unambiguous success. ... Detroit should count itself lucky."
Taxpayers are unlikely to ever get back all of the $81.8 billion paid to help the auto industry. But Overhaul makes clear that both presidential administrations were convinced that without government intervention, the whole U.S. industry — automakers and suppliers — could have collapsed.
