Now there's a pretty fair chance that some such heirlooms might be found right in your own back yard. After all, a good many of MOTHER EARTH NEWS' readers are fortunate enough to live on the sites of old-time homesteads, some of which have a few of the original structures, which often mark prime collecting areas, still intact. Furthermore, even if your home isn't an ancient cabin or aging farmhouse, chances are that people have been living on — or moving across — your property for as long as 200 years. During that time they probably deposited their discarded bottles, tins, broken dolls, and whatnot in a number of hidden locations.
But before you attack the planks of your home, barn, or shed with a crowbar, bear in mind that it won't likely be worthwhile to damage a usable structure . . . even if doing so does turn up a rare bitters bottle. And, of course, that rule is firmer still if you're on someone else's property. Bottle-hunting protocol demands — first and foremost — that you always obtain permission before you prospect on another's domain.
In order to find potential "bottle mines," check some topographical maps of your region to locate likely sites of original homesteads: Look for level land, available water, etc. Or explore country roads and watch for lonely standing chimneys, or the spreading trees flanking an open spot, that often mark deserted "house places." Talk to old-timers, too. Their knowledge of long abandoned dumps, businesses and farms can be invaluable.
Of course, simply finding an abandoned garbage heap isn't the whole story. You must then determine — before devoting too much time to digging — whether it's old enough to hold potential value. The clues that most often signal a possible bonanza include sun-purpled bits of glass, blue pieces of early Mason jars, and the white porcelain liners from old-fashioned zinc canning lids. Screw-top bottles will indicate that the dump is anywhere from 30 years to mere days old. Cork-stoppered purple flasks, on the other hand, are an excellent sign that the trash pile is at least 70 years old.
However, since recent rubbish may be covering up old goodies, you will need to scratch around a bit and make a test hole or two. But once you're convinced that you've hit pay dirt, it's generally best to start excavating at one end and methodically turn over the entire area, shovelful by shovelful. (By simply potholing hither and yon, you'll likely miss more bottles than you uncover.) Dig gently, though, or your tool can smash what might have been a valuable find!
Privies were — as you'd imagine — usually located handy to the house, and the sites were moved over at frequent intervals, so you might well find half a dozen searchable places side by side . . . earmarked by nothing more than a slight depression or perhaps a few rotten boards.
Now the same evidence may also mark a long-gone shed or spring house. You can, however, usually determine whether the signs do indeed point to an outhouse location by using a probe: a 10-foot-long metal rod with a T-shaped pounder that's much like a metal fencepost setter. Ordinary un-excavated ground will probably be hard all the way down, and may contain rocks, but the probe will penetrate soft outhouse dirt like an icepick going through warm butter.
Dry or contaminated wells are also likely sources of valuable antique discards. You can make some great finds in the old water holes, but please remember that they were abandoned for a reason. It could be that the water carried typhoid or that the walls were unsafe (and if they were unsafe then, imagine how dangerous they must be now). Take all necessary precautions: You don't want to get buried, drowned, or infected before you can haul out the prize of the century!
The first obvious clue to the age and value of a vessel will be its color. Generally speaking, colorless glassware is not really old, since bottle glass that holds its clarity is a comparatively recent innovation, introduced around the turn of the century. Old glass is typically purple, aqua, amber or olive. In addition, metallic oxides were sometimes used to intentionally produce red, cobalt blue, true blue, green and yellow bottles, which are often particularly rare and valuable.
Purple is the most common hue to be found in old glass, since that color was typically used in widely circulated patent medicine and whiskey bottles. Furthermore, from 1880 to 1914, manganese was used extensively to produce a temporarily clear glass that had the unfortunate habit of turning purple if exposed to the sun. The deeper the violet hue in such glassware, the more manganese it contains (some bottles are so purple that they appear almost black). And although folks used to wrap their good crystal to prevent such a change, it's a fact that the more intense the shade, the more valuable the bottle today. (You may find that you can deepen the color a bit by letting any purple container or dish soak up the sun's rays for a few weeks.)
Hand-blown bottles usually have uneven bottoms, because the molten glass tended to run to one side. Another means of identification is the jagged scar where the blowpipe was removed from the still-hot glass shape. The bottoms of such flasks may also be either torpedo-shaped or deeply indented, and their necks are sometimes slightly askew.
Some of the best indications of a bottle's age can be seen in its neck seams. A free-blown container will have no seams at all. One blown into a mold will likely have a seam partway up the neck (the lower the seam stops, the older the bottle) and, if the container was made in a three-piece mold, there will be a seam around the shoulder and up each side, showing that the necks were blown in their own molds and then applied. If the seam runs all the way up through the lip, the bottle is at best from the Owens machine.
The manner in which the lip was made and applied is an additional clue to a bottle's age. On old free-blown containers, the lip is sometimes just a crude blob or ring of glass. In fact, the very oldest often have no lip at all: Before 1840, blowers simply snipped the neck straight across while the glass was still hot. The result was a stovepipe effect, or perhaps a slight flare.
Around 1869 embossed lettering came into vogue and continued to be popular until the invention of the Owens machine and paper labels. Medical vials were usually embossed with whimsical catalogs of complaints, cures, and promises . . . and bottles with mistakes in spelling or lettering are particularly cherished by collectors.
Use vinegar and water, steam-iron cleaner, and steel wool pads to handle the scrubbing chores. Sometimes effective but often unsafe are lye and acids. The caustic cleaners can ruin valuable discoveries ... to say nothing of clothes, shoes, and skin.
There's one type of "dirt" that will defy all efforts at removal: Afflicted receptacles — usually those found in a damp place — are called "sick glass." They'll be covered with a flaky, opalescent film that will stay in place no matter what attempts are made to clean it off. When you encounter this milky coating, you're probably best advised to clean what you can and leave the rest alone, because the opalization can occur in a variety of interesting forms . . . appearing as iridescent colors or beautiful etching. The value of the bottle may even be enhanced if the "sick" colors are particularly vivid or the etching has taken unusual forms.
Furthermore, when you begin trying to sell your colorful artifacts, you'll soon discover that tastes vary widely. Many people will gladly pay 50¢ to $2.00 for a little colored jug that's all but valueless to collectors. As a matter of fact, bushels of semi-worthless glass are sold at garage sales to people who just want something unusual to put a bunch of dried flowers in.
Generally speaking, old bottles rank in popularity and value as follows: [1] historical and commemorative flasks, circa 1810 to 1870 ... [2] bitters bottles from 1850 to 1906 . . . and then [3] whiskey, soda, poison, medicine, and condiment containers.
The highest-priced historical items (often whiskey bottles) are those embossed with designs that celebrate important events, famous people, patriotic fervor, and so forth. Such bottles are among the most expensive pieces of American glass, usually selling for $10 to $800, but in rare instances bringing even more. It's not unknown for an individual to pull a $22,000 bottle out from under an abandoned privy!
Bitters bottles now run a very close second, and may soon surpass the historical flasks in popularity. The most common and inexpensive of these are the containers that were used by the Atwood, Hostetter, and Lash firms: They sell for about $5.00. However, just the word "bitters" embossed on a vessel is enough to bring some money. (It's also a general rule that any container exhibiting marks from the glass blower's pipe is worth at least $5.00, regardless of other details.)
Since prices tend to fluctuate, it's impossible to lay down any absolute values here. It's a good idea to check several guides and to shop around from collector to collector before you sell because the potential price of a "good" bottle will often vary a great deal. Antique shops will typically offer less money than will collectors, because the shops have to make a profit, too. On the other hand, though, a dealer will usually buy more of your goods than would an individual enthusiast.
In short, although it's true that this sort of search for hidden treasure isn't likely to make you rich, it's an interesting — and often quite profitable — way to spend some spare time. And for those of us who enjoy the hunt, the sudden glitter of a bunch of bitters bottles in an outhouse ruin can be almost as exciting as opening up King Tut's tomb!

Optogenetics is not the newest craze (dates back to 2002), but
it has huge potential and momentum (one peer reviewed article in
2006, exponential growth predicts 280 scientitsts will publish
using this method in 2012).
Optogenetics allows scientitsts to selectively express a gene in
neurons that allows that neuron to respond to light- at the SINGLE
neuron cell level. Pretty cool.Dr. Diego Restrepo from UCD
describes optogenetics in broad terms in the video above.
Dr. Jessica Cardin from Yale gave a more in depth overview this
She made an incredible point that I hadn't thought of: when you
allow a neuron to express a gene that responds to light, that
response is all over the neuron, not just in the area of the neuron
that normal creates an action potential during regular activation.
In the picture below you can see the little blue lines (look
closely on the neuron to the left) that represent where on the cell
to are the specific parts that respond to light- and they are
everywhere. Compare that to the neuron on the right (a regular
neuron) that is acivated in the axon (big red center part) and
sends that action potential out from the center.
What does this mean? I think its a great lesson that scientific
techniques are constantly evolving to be more nuanced, but they are
never perfect, as science is never perfect. It reminds us to think
critically about data and the methods we use to get data, but more
so to be critical about the conclusions we state, as that has
implications well beyond the front and back cover of journals.
Want to know more about optogenetics? You should, it was made
the Nature METHOD OF THE YEAR in 2010. Pretty impressive.
Nature put together a 4 minute video that does a great job putting
the words of this method in images. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I64X7vHSHOE

you people are Idiots
ok. Most of you who reveiwed this are Idiots. i read 7 things saying way to go for bashing christianity, and 7 things saying its inaccurate. i also read 3 things saying your going to hell for making this. You people are STUPID!.
This is not at all bashing christianity, its showing what christianity is like when holding on to every word in the Bible. Showing what people would be like if they had no common sense and only had their faith. This was all from the old testament. That means that some of this is technically also a part of the jewish and muslim faith, all three are all connected in the same way. the same basic beliefs like dont kill and dont steal, and their one God. Also the old testament was taken from the Jewish Bible (cant think of the name cause im to pissed off).
And the Sabbath is on different days in different religions. for Hebrews its Saturday. For Muslums its friday and for christians its Sunday.
Also i would like to say that No one is going to hell for making this, its an Oppinion, if you live in america GET THE FUCK OUT. its the first ammendment. Also who the hell made you so holy to judge whether or not someone is going to hell. i believe thats someone elses work. MORON! making fun of religion is NOT a new thing. its a freedom we all have. you can disagree with it but its just an oppinion. At least this guy isn't bothering me at my door waking me up telling me how their LORD can save me!
I would say More but your all PISSING ME OFF.
I can't stand Christians...
I couldn't stand Christian propaganda being on the top of the comment pile, so I decided to bump it down and congratulate you on a wonderful idea for a series. I know way too many of these lunatics that take the Bible for every word. I also know too many of these lunatics that pick and choose what in the Bible is relavent and what isn't. You can't pick and choose people, either embrace your archaic religion or abandon it!
"Christians are caring people. We don't kill for God. We don't KILL. Many Christians feel guilty about stepping on an ant. "
I shall respond to this guys review with this Bush Quote.
"God has told me to go to Iraq."
And if the Christians don't kill than what the hell were the crusades you thumb sucking christian. The man in the sky has a plan for you, so all bad and good that happens don't worry, it's all part of his fucked up plan. So go back to your thumb sucking because you can't accept the reality that humans are too stupid to know what the "answer to the universe" is. Christians... Boooo!
Good cartoon. Lol.
Well done
Well done, the "christian" who posted before me is a knob. I think religion kills people and YES people are controlled by god. It's all a made up conspiracy I tell you. People who wrote the bible are sad, just like that guy.

Embattled actress Amanda Bynes has been fined and placed on three years probation for driving on a suspended license.
The Hairspray star's lawyer, Richard Hutton, entered a no contest plea on his client's behalf during a court hearing in Los Angeles on Thursday (09May13), after she previously pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanour.
The judge overseeing the case ordered Bynes to stay out of trouble for three years, and warned not to drive without a valid license or insurance. She was also ordered to pay a $300 fine, reports TMZ.com.
The count relates to a run-in with the law in Burbank, California in September (12), just two weeks after she was charged with two hit-and-runs, which resulted in her driving suspension. The hit-and-run accusations were subsequently dismissed after Bynes reached financial settlements with the alleged victims.
Bynes, who has since relocated to New York, has one other legal issue to attend to - she is still facing a charge of driving under the influence (DUI) relating to a separate motor mishap last year (12).

Mr. Dewar was reacting to news from Korea that the Prime Minister will not seek parliamentary approval to allow Canadian troops to remain in Afghanistan post-2011 in some yet-to-be defined training mission. In addition, Bob Rae, the Liberal foreign affairs critic, told The Globe on Friday morning that he was fine with that.
"Whether there's a parliamentary resolution is not a matter of law (or even custom) but a choice of the government," Mr. Rae said. "In the current circumstance I fully understand the government's decision."
Mr. Dewar noted that Mr. Rae was in conversation with Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon about a training plan. The Liberals have long pushed for Canadian troops to remain in Afghanistan after the combat mission is scheduled to end this summer.
How can Rae sign off, when the mission is "yet to be defined"? Isn't that lack of accountability a recipe for abuse? Why isn't Rae saying we support the training principle, but want a formal proposal that must go through the elected Parliament?
The Liberals have supported continued training, that's nothing new, the broad strokes consistent with the party stance. However, that philosophical consistency falls to pieces when one considers the ambiguity of what "training" entails. It is fair to ask if this is just an end around way to remain in theater, as we wait for the other shoe to drop?
Where are the Liberal safeguards here, to ensure that what the Conservatives have vaguely outlined meets our criteria? You mean, we are left to private conversations between the Conservatives and Liberals, without the light of day, without the most basic of public accountability? I'm sorry, but any democrat can't endorse this process, no matter if one agrees with staying or not. There's a way to proceed, and this is starting to resemble a star chamber feel, that insults the notion of true representation.
First, we have a key foreign policy plank articulated by a useless political hack, which is then followed days later by a strange out of country declaration by the Prime Minister. It would seem the Liberals are feeding this bizarre announcement with our own lack of basic accountability. Bob Rae giving the okay to a unilateral decision, under cover of some procedural precedent is weak, PARTICULARLY because nobody knows what exactly the government has in mind. I don't get it, don't support it and judging by my email inbox, I'm not alone...
BCL: "A Backroom Deal"


text:
LONDON, Ontario — It wasn't the same as being at home but it was close enough. Meryl Davis and Charlie White train next door in Michigan. The fans inside Budweiser Gardens all speak English and dozens of them were waving the Stars and Stripes. And Canadian archivals Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir are their training partners.
"We're so grateful to the crowd," Davis said Saturday afternoon after she and White had dethroned the Olympic dance gold medalists on their home ice by a count of 189.56-185.04 and set themselves up as the favorites for next year's Games in Sochi. "We're well aware that this is Scott and Tessa's territory. The level of respect and enthusiasm we got from the crowd was thrilling."
It was the second time in three years that the Americans had won the crown, and nobody in the building was asking for a recount, including their opponents. "Charlie and Meryl are great skaters," said Moir. "We take our hats off to them."
Though the Americans had led by only 3.25 points after Thursday's short dance, that was a considerable margin in a discipline that doesn't have jumps or throws, where mistakes are both frequent and costly. "Four points is a lot," Moir conceded, "but it wasn't over."
So the Canadians went after it with an acrobatic and emphatic rendition of "Carmen" that earned them their season's best score. But the Americans, who'd beaten Virtue and Moir at both the Grand Prix Final and the Four Continents Championships (where Virtue cramped up in the free dance), followed with a flawless performance to "Notre Dame de Paris" that had speed, style, and sophistication. "What we're most proud of," said White, "is that we left it all out on the ice."
With teammates Madison Chock and Evan Bates placing seventh and siblings Maia and Alex Shibutani eighth, the US retained three Olympic entries, as did the hosts, who received a fifth-place effort from Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje. And while the Russians made the podium for the first time in four years as Ekaterina Bobrova and Dmitri Soloviev claimed the bronze, the Motherland's iron embrace of the title ended years ago.
After winning all but one gold medal from 1985 through 1999, the Russians have claimed only one since 2005, while the Americans and Canadians have won the last four, with these two couples alternating as 1-2. The dance has become a North American commodity with reliable pipelines on both sides of the border.
The US breakthrough at the Games came in 2006, when Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto won the silver medal. Then Davis and White did the same in Vancouver three years ago. In Sochi comes their chance to reach the summit. "We are looking forward to the challenge of next year," said White, "and making the most of it by winning an Olympic gold medal."
The American women used to occupy the top spot on the podium by divine right. Now the global goddess, again as before, is South Korea's Kim Yu Na, who came out of a year's sabbatical and demolished the field with 218.31 points, outdistancing both Italian defending titlist Carolina Kostner (197.89) and Japanese two-time champion Mao Asada (196.47) to reclaim the laurels that she won in 2009.
"I was very happy to skate well here in Canada again," said Kim, who'll be bidding next year to become the only woman other than Sonja Henie and Katarina Witt to retain her Olympic crown after winning in Vancouver three years ago.
The Americans, who missed the global podium for the seventh straight time, their longest drought since 1937, were more concerned about increasing their Olympic entry quota.
"Three spots, three spots, three spots," said Ashley Wagner, who was the woman left home from Vancouver last time. "We're going to do whatever it takes to get there."
What they needed was a combined placement of 13, and they made it comfortably as Wagner placed fifth (187.34) and the 17-year-old Gracie Gold sixth (184.25). "I was on the team that lost that [third spot] and I'm on the team that got it back," said Wagner. "I'm so proud of Gracie for keeping her head on her shoulders this first Worlds. It's more than I accomplished my first Worlds."
Gold, who had to come out of ninth place to make the US team, climbed up from the same spot here, outpointing Wagner in the free skate. "I'm glad I was able to help out our country in that sense," she said.
Kim did even more for hers. Queen Yu Na, the only skater from her country in any discipline at these championships, was concerned about her domestic line of succession and needed to place in the top two to earn three spots for the Games. Her Olympic experience, she said, was sublime. "I want to experience it again with my little Korean skaters," Kim said. Now if they can only clone two more of her in a Seoul stem cell clinic.John Powers can be reached at email@example.com. John Powers can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Marijuana plants seized in Vale
Two Catawba County police agencies assisted Thursday in a Lincolnton drug bust of a marijuana-growing operation.
Narcotics officers from the Catawba County Sheriff's Office and Newton Police Department worked with the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office's Drug Interdiction Criminal Enforcement team to arrest a Vale man accused of growing and selling marijuana from his home.
Police executed a search warrant Thursday at the home of Dutch Douglas Heafner, 54, on Dave Peterson Lane in Vale. Four officers seized 6 ounces of marijuana, 14 marijuana plants from an indoor growing operation, eight firearms and $700 in U.S. currency.
Heafner was charged with one count of firearm possession by a convicted felon, three counts of possession with intent to manufacture, three counts of selling and delivering marijuana and one count of maintaining a dwelling for selling and delivering marijuana.
He was transported to Harven A. Crouse Detention Center in Lincolnton on a $60,000 secured bond.
Catawba County Sheriff Coy Reid said Thursday's arrest is the result of collaboration among several law enforcement agencies.
The agencies have narcotics officers who serve on a joint task force.
"We work together," Reid said.

Rational Functions Quiz
Lesson 6 of 15
Objective: Students will be able to demonstrate their knowledge of negative exponents. Students will be able to graph and model rational functions.
Warm up and Homework Review
I include Warm ups with a Rubric as part of my daily routine. My goal is to allow students to work on Math Practice 3 each day. Grouping students into homogeneous pairs provides an opportunity for appropriately differentiated math conversations. This lesson's Warm Up- Rational Functions Quiz asks students to analyze a negative exponent problem. This problem came from and amazing website that focuses on collecting and discussing mathematical errors that students produce.
I also use this time to correct and record the previous day's Homework.
Resources (5)
Rational Functions Quiz
There are two versions of this quiz which I pass out by row or checkerboard. This quiz has a range of quotients of monomials, transfromations, and a modeling problem. As with most topics in Algebra 2, students need to be able to perform the skill and reason with the concepts, so this quiz addresses both.
These quizzes where created with Kuta Software which is one of my favorite math resources.
Resources (3)
I offer a variety of Extra Credit puzzles for students who finish early and have no make up work to complete. This includes, but is not limited to; sudoku, mathdoku, logic problems, picture mazes, and pixel puzzles. A couple of my favorites are: Griddlers and Conceptis puzzles.
Both sites offer a number of free puzzles as well as purchasable books. Pixel Puzzles are a particular favorite. The Mathdoku are also great. They can increase a student's numeracy abilities if done regularly.

actually it has been mentioned
There's no need to be an asshat if it's official now vs. reportedly.
Asshat respone - "Are you serious?!?! Do you ever even read the blog? There's already been a thread on this! LOL LMAO!!!"
A reasonable person informing the OP he was wrong in his assumption that nothing had been posted on this topic - "actually it has been mentioned"
There was nothing douchey about robbyt003's comment, there was, however, something douchey about you calling him out like that for no good reason.
I didn't see that it had been edited. I thought everyone was thinking that reportedly meant official.
The other thread didn't mention that it was official. This one did. I think that makes it "justified" under the "rules" here. I don't know if that makes critics of the post "asshats," but their whining meta comments do sometimes seem to take up more space than the threads themselves.
As for the actual subject, I have mixed emotions here. You never know how someone will do until he gets to Ann Arbor. On the surface, this appears to be a typical Michigan hire for semi-reveune or non-revenue sports: decent coach but not really a stunning pedigree.
In other words, we'll have a much better idea of how good this hire was after a couple of seasons.
and cannot check yesterday's threads I appreciate the update.
So you're saying you took a whole day off from mgoblog? What's wrong with you?
I'm sorry that I didn't see that something from 40 hours ago was edited.
...full of fail. Which is quite sad considering the topic. Very impressed with Bakichs' press conf and interview. This has to be the first time in history that a baseball coach singled out a softball coach as an example of how to run a program. Bakich appears to (really) get it.
Yes, I too was very impressed with Bakich. He's very well spoken. He laid out his plan for how he's going to run the program, and it looks like he's not wasting any time moving ahead. Kendall Rogers is reporting that--as expected--Ann Arbor native Sean Kenny will join Bakich at Michigan as pitching coach (same position he had at Maryland) and that Nick Schnabel will be Bakich's hitting coach. Schnabel, like Bakich, is an East Carolina alum and has spent the last three years as an East Carolina coach.
SCOOP | #Michigan HC Erik Bakich taking pitching guru Sean Kenny with him. #ECU hitting coach Nick Schnabel headed there, too. #CUSA #BigTen
— Kendall Rogers (@KendallRogersPG) June 29, 2012
At the time of that post from Brian, the athletic department didn't say that they had officially hired him yet.
He say this is michigan for godsakes.
No, but he did say tremendous a few times.
Good luck with Bakich glad he left maryland. Players dont know what they are getting into. six hour practices, football type weight lifting, screaming at players during game if they make outs in critical situations, calling players pussies. Cares about grades, thats a joke check out Maryland baseball players academic standing, see how many seniors graduted last two year.
He is full of energy (and a whole lot of something else), will raise money by getting people to drink the kool-aide and he will recuit good players. In game manager, you will see soon enough.
Current and ex players desroying him on twitter and facbook, calling him a traitor. He had no intention of building the Maryland program and he will do the same at Michigan jumping ship at the next high profile baseball job.
Cant blame him for taking the money: what is Michigan thinking. He hasnt won anything at Maryland
I'm REALLY pleased with the 2012 recruiting class coming in, it was a good one by Maloney's staff. I know this is a thread about Bakich, but just wondering, do you guys think that Maezes will be the starting shortstop over Dylan Delaney next year? Another possibility is he could be the starting catcher, I mean we lost Crank since he's a senior, and the catching situation isn't the greatest at the moment. What do you guys think?

BRUSSELS (AP) — Official figures due Thursday are expected to show the 17-country eurozone is in recession, though only just.
The eurozone has dodged recession during its three-year debt crisis, mainly thanks to the strength of its largest single economy, Germany.
But even Germany is struggling now as confidence drains in the face of the turmoil afflicting large parts of the eurozone, mainly the southern economies of Greece, Spain, Italy and Portugal.
Five eurozone countries are already in recession, officially defined as two straight quarters of economic contraction. Thursday's figures may see more joining them.
Analysts expect the eurozone economy contracted by a quarterly rate of 0.1 percent in the third quarter. Following a 0.2 percent decline in the second quarter, that would put the eurozone in recession.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. - No. 1 seeded Gonzaga University women's basketball team earned a 62-43 victory over No. 4 seed BYU in the semifinals of the West Coast Conference Championship Saturday afternoon at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Nev. The Bulldogs will now play in their seventh-straight championship game, against either No. 2 seed University of San Diego or No. 3 seed Saint Mary's College, Monday at 1 p.m.
"I'm so proud of this team," stated Gonzaga head coach Kelly Graves after the victory. "I don't think we have every played such a physically tough game. We were out there being tough mentally; we were in it the whole time with the right mindset."
The Bulldogs used a well-rounded offense to capture the 19-point victory as 10 different players scored. Gonzaga was led by redshirt sophomore center Shelby Cheslek who posted a career-tying high 16 points, hitting 6-of-9 from the field and 4-of-5 free throws. She also grabbed a game-high eight boards. Sophomore forward Sunny Greinacher added 10 points, eight of which came in the second half, and freshman Kiara Kudron came off the bench to chip in a career-high eight.
The Cougars leading scorers coming into the game - Haley Steed and Jennifer Hamson, who were averaging 10.3 points and 10.8 points per game, respectively - were held to 13 points combined and went 5-of-17 from the field. BYU was led by Morgan Bailey who came off the bench to score 12 points.
"With BYU, you have to pick your poison," explained Graves of how to defend the Cougars. "They have arguably one of the best guards in the nation, a post that demands attention, and they shoot remarkably well. Today we tried to make them score two at a time and we did a pretty good job. We made them earn every shot."
It was a battle back and forth early in the first half with three ties in the first seven minutes but ultimately Gonzaga held the lead for the full forty minutes.
After an old fashion 3-point play by BYU's Keilani Unga tied the contest at 8-8 with 12:55 left in the opening half, the Bulldogs rattled off an 8-2 run to capture a six-point advantage with 6:03 on the clock. Four different Zag players scored a bucket, including junior Stephanie Golden who nailed a jumper to put the score at 16-10.
A 3-pointer by the Cougars Stephanie Seaborn started a 7-2 run that got BYU to within one point of the lead at 18-17. It was all Gonzaga after that spurt as the Zags rattled off a 12-2 spurt that closed out the half and gave them the 30-19 advantage. Cheslek started things off with a layup, followed by two free throws, while Kudron came off the bench to score six of GU's final eight points.
BYU was held to 0-of-5 shooting during this stretch and turned the ball over once. The Cougars only points came on two free throws by Steed with 49 seconds left before intermission. All-in-all, BYU was held without a field goal for the final 3:52.
Greinacher started the second half with a lay-in followed by a much needed 3-pointer by junior guard Haiden Palmer, which forced BYU to call a timeout two minutes into the final period with the Zags up 16 at 35-19.
Three minutes later Gonzaga's edge was 18 points with the help Cheslek who scored back-to-back layups to put the score at 42-24.
The closest the Cougars got to the Bulldogs was 12 points after a small 8-2 run had put the score at 44-32 with 11:39 remaining.
A jumper by Palmer stopped BYU's momentum and started a massive 15-4 run that blew the game open and gave Gonzaga its largest lead of the game - 23 points at 59-36 - with 2:40 left on the clock.
The Bulldogs ended the game shooting 37.7 percent (23-of-61) from the field and hit 70.0 percent from the charity stripe (14-of-20). The Zags forced BYU to turn the ball over 22 times, was credited with 13 steals, and scored 12 points off the miscues.
The Cougars finished the game hitting 32.0 percent (16-of-50) from the floor, including just 23.1 percent (6-of-26) in the first half.
The final on Monday will be televised on ESPNU.

A Chinese site called it168, by way of The Verge, has posted what it says is a Windows Phone 8 Nokia Lumia PureView smartphone that is rocking the same 41 mega-pixel sensor as the Nokia 808 PureView, a device that was announced back at the Mobile World Congress in February.
The concept, if real, is extremely bizarre.

While we know that it takes quite a bit of space to house that 41MP sensor, the device that we see here is bulky, almost to the point of hilarity.
This makes us think that this is going to remain a concept.
That's not to say that Nokia might take pieces of it and put it into another design. The device is rumored to sport a 4.3-inch curved glass display with HD resolution, a dual-core processor with Adreno 320 graphics, and Windows Phone as its operating system of choice.
If the part about the Adreno graphics is true, then this device would be rocking a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor.
The device is also rumored to have a 41MP Carl Zeiss camera, a camera that is capable of shooting beautiful photos.
Here are two samples taken with the upcoming Nokia 808 PureView:
It's unclear when Nokia will be releasing a Nokia Windows Phone with PureView technology but with Windows Phone 8 Apollo on the way later this year, that would be as good of a time to launch as any.

Rep. Chip Pickering, R-Miss., is among those who will speak at the Ag Update sessions at this year's Mid-South Farm & Gin Show, to be held Feb. 27-28 in Memphis.
He serves on the Agriculture Committee and is also a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee.
"The congressman is actively involved in many issues of interest to agriculture," says Tim Price, show manager and executive vice president of the Southern Cotton Ginners Association, which sponsors the annual event. "And on the Energy Committee, he works closely with alternative fuels issues, a topic of much interest to Mid-South producers."
The show, now in its 52nd year, is co-sponsored by Delta Farm Press, and is held at the downtown Cook Convention Center.
"We've got another sell-out," Price says, with all 200,000-plus square feet of exhibit space already committed. Last year's completion of the convention center expansion opened up an additional 35,000 square feet of space.
It is the largest indoor farm show in the South, and the largest cotton equipment trade show in the nation.
"We're going to have a great lineup of exhibitors, offering a huge array of equipment, services, and products," Price says. "We've got many new exhibitors this year, and a number of our long-time exhibitors have expanded their space, so there's really going to be a lot to see and producers should be able to go home with a lot of valuable information and contacts.
"With the expansion of the convention center, we now have a top-notch exhibition facility. Anyone who hasn't been to the show in the last two or three years will really be impressed with all the changes that have been made."
In addition to Rep. Pickering, other speakers for the popular Ag Update sessions will include Memphis cotton merchant William B. "Billy" Dunavant, who will give his annual outlook for cotton; Richard E. "Dick" Bello, president and chief executive officer of Riceland Foods, who will discuss the outlook for rice and grains; and Woody Anderson, incoming chairman of the National Cotton Council, who will provide an update on the council's programs and legislative activities.
All will speak at the 8:30 session Friday, Feb. 27, in the lobby auditorium of the convention center.
Rep. Pickering will speak at the 8:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 28 session, and a second speaker is to be announced.
Doors open for the big show at 9 a.m. both days and close at 5 p.m. Friday, 4:30 p.m. Saturday. Admission is free.
Member associations of the Southern Cotton Ginners Association will be holding their annual meetings in conjunction with the show. Headquarters for the ginners is the Peabody Hotel.
Participating at the Arkansas-Missouri Cotton Ginners Association, the Mississippi Cotton Ginners Association, the Tennessee Cotton Ginners Association, and the Louisiana Cotton Ginners Association.
The SCGA annual meeting will be Thursday, Feb. 26, at the Peabody, beginning at 1:30. A number of awards will be presented, recognizing ginners who have completed certification and those who are winners in the SCGA-sponsored gin safety program. The speaker will be Mississippi producer/ginner Kenneth Hood, who will discuss his experiences with technology adoption in his operations.
The official program for the Mid-South Farm & Gin Show, to be published by Farm Press, will be included in the Feb. 13 issue of Delta Farm Press and will go to the Alabama circulation of Southeast Farm Press in the Feb. 11 issue.

Do not adjust your computer screen, this not a revised version of the VFR1200F, nor is it the V4 adventure bike we expect Honda to debut next week, it's not even the bastard love child from a CBR and a Cylon, it is in fact the brand new 2011 Honda CBR250R. A 250cc motorcycle for the rest of us, Honda hopes to snag new riders by offering a more practical street bike in the Japanese, European, Australian, and yes, even American markets later this spring.
Raising the bar a bit, the CBR250R comes with optional C-ABS brakes, which will like be mandatory in the European Union, if the EU Commission has anything to say about it. With performance figures coming in at 26hp and 17 lbs•ft of torque, the fuel-injected Honda CBR250R isn't going to blow anyone out of the water, but that's sort the point behind the quarter-liter bike, which should be more than capable of scooting around a young rider on city streets and back-road routes.
