Braxmeier Family
By Erasmus Braxmeyer, Mandan, North Dakota, born in the Catholic village of Sulz, Beresan District, South Russia (today Ukraine)
From the Thomas Hoffman Collection, Germans from Russia Heritage Society, North Dakota State University Libraries, Fargo
First, please pardon my poor English. I had no time, not the opportunity, to learn the language after coming to this country. The important thing was, after arriving here, to look for a job. I was fortunate enough to get a job at the German print shop in Mandan, working as a "printers devil", which meant that I had to sweep the shop and clean the small printing press. This was a foot-operated machine on which letterheads, envelopes and some sales bills were printed. As black ink was used, I did look like a little black devil! This was where I learned to spell and read the English language. I will come back to this later.
The main purpose of this is to tell you something about the Braxmeier clan, or the "Braxmeier Family Tree." I have been asked many times when the different spelling of "Braxmeier". This is the correct spelling. I really don't know why I started to spell the name with a "y", nor why brother John (may his soul rest in peace) spelled it with an "o" rather than an "a" and changed the "i" to "y". Of course, many have changed the spelling of their surnames, but this is beside the point.
The years and facts about the Germans immigrants from German to Russia, were obtained from Prof. Joseph S. Height of Franklin, Indiana, a descendant of Kutschurgan (Russia) colonists and presently professor of German Language and Literature at Franklin College of Indiana. The other man accredited with much information was Dr. Karl Stumpp, known as the "Patriarch of the German-Russian People", a native of Alexanderhilf not far from Odessa, South Russia, and acclaimed the foremost scholar of German-Russian history. (see attachments 1 and 2)
Under the regime of Czarina Katherina II of Russia, who was a German born princess, a manifesto was issued. Agents of the Russian government were sent to Germany to persuade the German people to immigrate to Russia to settle in the very fertile steepes. This was in 1763-1768. Later, in 1804, under Czar Alexander I, this was repeated. The Russian government wanted the German immigrants as they were noted for the ambition and hard workers. The Russian government wanted not only farmers but also people who knew a trade, such as carpenters, blacksmiths etcetera. There were promised privilege of no military duty, practice of their own religion and language, and much more, and many German people immigrated to Russia. Most of the privileges were later withdrawn.
There is a gap between the years and the statistics obtained from Prof. Height and the years following. From memory from the age of four, information received from my sisters, and from a book our father brought over at the time of our immigration to this country, I will attempt to give you some facts of the family. Pro. Height states there were five different Braxmeiers. Your guess is as good as mine as to which one of the five is our ancestor.
Here are some statistics, not only from the "Braxmeier" clan but also from the "Stumpf" clan- our mother's maiden name. We were able to get some facts from the information received from brother-in-law Frank Seidl and from some books father brought from Russia. Sister Ludmilla also furnished some of the names of our relatives.

The Year 1893
On May 11, 1893, I, Erasmus John, was born in Sulz. This same year brother Anton passed away at the age of 16. In 1879, brother Joseph was born and died in his infancy. I was the tenth child in the family.
During that year, father leased a tract of land in Yeschitsky, several miles to the south of Sulz. Due to a shortage of available farmland, especially families who had several boys as in our faily with three grown-up boys-Martin, Daniel, and Raphael-families started to move out of their place of origin. Yeschitsky was a small hamlet of a few farmers. Here two sisters were born-Rosa and Philomena.
After farming at this location for four years, father located a position of farm-manager in Koblewo, several miles to the east. This tract of land consisted of many thousands of acres and was owned by a Mr. Trazhthenherz who resided in Odessa. Kobelwo was strictly a Russian settlement and not far from the Black Sea. On clear days you could see the big ships at sea.
There were only three German families and perhaps two Jewish families, one of who worked for father and the other had a general merchandise store. Father's job was to lease this land in small parcels to Russian farmers. The rental fee to start was the fourth or fifth shock of grain. Later the rent went up almost every year. Father's salary was not paid in money but he had the privilege of farming 600 Dessjatin of his choice. This was equivalent to about 1600 acres which of course, made a large tract of land. Those were our good years- financially. I don't remember a crop failure in those years. The land seeded into a large variety of grain such as wheat, barley, oats, rye, and some corn. I do remember that we had as many as five horse-drawn, two-bottom plows with as many ox-drawn. There was also a lot of fall plowing and winter wheat seeding done.
Brother Martin was married in Sulz to Rosa Kupper, and as customary, the wedding lasted two or three days. Farming was done together with the brothers Martin and Raphael, and part-time in the spring and fall brother Daniel helped manage the farming. Brother Daniel attended a teachers college in Grosslibenthal and attained a teacher's certificate.
Father was steadily occupied with leasing the land. In the fall of the year during the threshing season, he was busy driving from one threshing rig to another. I remember that he had at least two of them going at he same time. Then, of course, he had to look after the hauling of grain, selling it and collecting the money, in addition to the bookkeeping.
In Koblewo, brother John and sister Elizabeth were born. There were still five or six in the family who needed an education, so father hired a lady teach who taught us for two years. After that we had a male teacher.
After six years, father bought a large tract of land in Kapustina, not far from Koblewo. After two successive years of crop failure, father sold this land and moved back to Sulz. In Sulz, father bought a home but did not take an active part in the operation of the farm which he and brother Martin rented not far from Sulz. Brother Raphael was drafted into the army shortly after that. Father owned a vineyard and also another parcel of land on which half was planted into grapes and the other half into fruit trees such as apples, peaches, apricots, cherries, plums, and a large variety of berries, along with walnuts. Father took care of both places and surely enjoyed this kind of work.
In the fall of 1905, I entered the Seminary in Saratof. The school term was from September until the early part of June. I attended for four successive years, until 1909, the year of our immigration. During these years sister Anna married Frank Jochim and brother Daniel married Elizabeth Kary.
The class of families who immigrated to another country, especially to America, were mostly poor and uneducated. In other words, it was a disgrace to leave the country. A number of relatives, who were quite well to do, could not understand why our father had decided to make the move. To their regret they learned later how wise he was in leaving Russia.
The years after the Russo-Japanese War brought much unrest. There was much burning and stealing. On many occasions the Cosaks had to be called to restore or prevent upheavals. In those days the radical element was not called Bolschevicks but Socialists. There were many arrests made under the Czar regime, was to blame for the existing conditions. I am sure father was aware of those conditions and perhaps foresaw the bad times coming, and made his decision to get out of the country while there was still time.
Just to mention other factors: A good number of our own people got quite rich at the expense of low wages and other factors. The hired hand was low-paid and ill-fed. Not only did some of the Germans acquire large tracts of land, but there were also a large number of Russians who owned thousands of acres of land. Besides this class of Germans and Russians, the Jews too were hated. The Jews owned a large share of the business establishments. And, if you recall past history, they were the first to be killed, sent to Siberia, or died of starvation.
In the fall of 1909, we embarked on the train in Nikoljef for Antwep, Belgium. Two other families immigrated with us, namely, Aunt Katherina Stumpf and family (who was married to mother's brother Jacob and who had passed away) and Uncle Nikolas and Aunt Marianna Wetsch and their family Anut Marianna was mother's sister. After a week here, we left for Quebec, Canada. Sisters Marianna and Rosa had to stay as the doctor found they both had Trachoma. The rules were that whoever had this eye defect would not be allowed to enter Canada. As a guide one of our cousins, Philip Stumpf, stayed with them. In Antwerp they were under treatment, and after a month or so they were allowed to proceed on their journey.
Instead of landing in Quebec they arrived in St.Johns, New Foundland, about two weeks before Christmas. Father was notified by telegram of their arrival. Father left for St.Johns and upon arriving was notified that both girls could not be released and had to take some more treatment which lasted another six weeks. They finally arrived some time in Feburary the next year.
I will now continue with our arrival in Quebec. From Quebec we went to Winnipeg where we all stayed in an immigration home next to the depot. Before we immigrated to Canada, one of our uncles, Martin Stumpf, had preceded us and was living in Mandan, North Dakota. Father intended to settle in Canada because he was perhaps told there were a lot of homestead to be had.
After a week or so in Winnipeg, it was decided to proceed to Mandan. At that time we did not know just when the two sisters, who were still in Antwerp, would arrive in Canada. It was decided that I would stay in Winnipeg and wait for their arrival. After a couple weeks, I received a letter from father that I should come to Mandan that he had a job lined up for me. This was when I started to work in a print shop, as I stated above.
We issued a German Weekly newspaper, "North Dakota Herald". Four pages were set by hand and the other four pages were already printed and came from some company in Minneapolis or St. Paul. After the four forms were ready, we carried them to a print shop around the corner. I believe it belonged to a Mr. Young. This shop had a newspaper press. The editor at the time was Mr. Steinbruck. If I remember correctly, Mr. and Mrs. Steinbruck had a family consisting of one daughter and three or four sons. The sons were employed on the NP Railroad, either as conductors or brakemen. At this writing, I think there is one son still in Mandan, namely George.
The Herald was sold the following spring to a Mr.Baker, who I believe was a banker in Bismarck. Shortly after that the Herald was sold again to Mr. Nadolsky and Mr.Lengowsky in Dickinson, where they had bought another weekly Germans newspaper and combined the two. Mr. Nadolsky was shop foreman on another weekly newspaper in Richardton, North Dakota, "Der Volksfreund", issued then by the Abbey.
After helping out in Dickinson for a short time, I assumed the position of Mr.Nadolsky in Richardton. In 1914, I was married to Margaret Sturn, and in 1915 we moved to Solen. There I had a job with the Helbling Implement Company, and in the fall of 1916, I joined the late Frank Wetsch, brother-in-law, in a general merchandise store. I retired in 1946 and moved to Bismarck
I am coming back now to the farm operations in North Dakota.
In the spring of 1910, father bough a section of land a couple
miles from Judson from an Mr.Bierbaum. It seems that the former
occupant did not believe in cleaning the barns, so there was an
accumulation of two to three feet in manure! There was nothing
left to do but clean up the place. Brother Raphael, who came over
to America after getting out of the army, sisters, Genoveva, Ludmilla,
Rosa, and Elizabeth and, I suppose, brother John had to help.
This was quite a change in life from what most of us were accustomed
to. Father worked very hard in digging up rocks, the land was
full of it, and I think there are still plenty rocks left. Here
again, there were there or four crop failures, so there was no
way of meeting the payments on the contract.
A year of so after our department from Russia, brother Daniel had an auction sale and disposed of all the farm machinery and livestock. Brother Daniel was also farming nearby in Judson. (He and brother-in-law Frank Jochim and their families arrived in Mandan in the fall or winter) In the spring Frank Jochim bought a farm joining ours in Judson and he too tired his hands at farming. After several crop failures he quit farming and moved to Bismarck where he was employed at the Oscar H. Will Seed House. From Bismarck he moved to Solen and operated a hardware store for a couple of years. Here again, due to crop failures and the start of the depression, the hardware business was not every profitable.
All left Judson and settled in Solen where father and brother Daniel leased a section of land from Indian, Andrew Ironroad. Father had a home built in Solen and, due to his advanced age, retired. Later brother Daniel bought a farm in Morton County, and brother Raphael too tried his hand at farming. Then, as we all remember, came the dreadful twenties and thirties which forced hundreds of families off the farms and consequently resulting in business failures.
Brothers Daniel and Raphael and brothers-in-law Frank Jochim and Frank Seidl and their families moved to the west coast. Perhaps it was for the better, both for them and their children, and the children especially had a much better change to get the necessary education and had a better chance for a decent living. Brother John, after attending a business college in Bismarck, worked for a time in a tailor shop and later started to travel for a made to measure clothing concern until shortly before he died.
The following brother and sisters were married in this country:
Marianna to Edward Loran, Genoveva to Frank C. Wetsch, Ludmilla
to Frank Seidl, Erasmus to Margaret Sturn, Philomena to Fred Landeis,
Rosa to Peter Stein, Raphael to Annamaria Scherger, John to Irene
Tavis. (I and sister Ludmilla had a double wedding-10/12/1914).
After mother's death sister Elizabeth enter the Benedictine Convent at Mt.Angel, Oregon. She is now Sister Loraine. (Deceased Jan 16, 1970)
Brother Martin was the only one who remained in Russia and had to experience all the dreadful times that came with the Revolution. After losing practically everything, he settled in Odessa with his family and had a job as a njight watchman. He passed away in 1942. After ther retreat of the German army, the remainig family landed first in Rumania, then in Poland, and finally arrived back in the country of their origin as displaced persons. There they were housed in a so-called DP camp.
The quota for immigrants from Germany to the United States was very low; consequently a long waiting list. A distant relative and also an Irish Catholic who owned a garage in Fairview, Alberta, Canada, came to their rescue as their sponsors. In the early 50's they arrived in Canada. Even though here too they were housed in very cold and primitive remodeled garages, et cetera, at least they found jobs. Some of them worked at two or three different jobs. From here all of them moved to Vancover, British Columbia. Here they found better jobs and more opportunites to have their children educated. I supposed they could write a lengthy book about their experiences, all the misery they endured in Russia and their flight from them. But, then again, perhaps they would just like to forget and not even think about this. Their good mother passed away on November 7, 1964.
The forgoing is a short history and also a short biography of some of the brothers, sisters, and of myself. I was not trying to exaggerate or minimize some of the facts, and if they made errors in presenting facts or dates, it was not done intentionally. This will, at least, give the future generation, if they wish to continue the "family tree", something to work on.
I thought it would be of some interest, especially to the younger generation, to try to illustrate how we lived in Russia. I am referring to the six years when we lived in Koblewo where father had the farm manager's job. Of course, we did not have the conveniences then as we have now such as electric lights, and whatever went with it, but remember that in those years there were not many conveniences of that nature in this country either, but we lived quite comfortably.
Our home, with the rest of the buildings, was located on a tract
of land, approximately two acres. The yard was divided into two
sections. One section was called the "white" yard
and the other the "black" yard. Our home was in the
"white" yard and consisted of 14 rooms with a kitchen
where the meals for our family were prepared. Ther was also an
ice house, blacksmith shop, horse stable with hayloft, machine
sheds, and several other storage places. In the "black"
yard there was home for the caretaker, kitchen and dining area,
and sleeping quarters for the hired help, also granaries, chicken
house, and cow barns. This whole complex was either surrounded
by buildings or by a five-foot high wall, build from rocks. A
night watchman was employed the year-round. This was precautionary
measure. The Russians liked to steal.

Since Jakob Stumpf was only the pioneer settler by that family name, we must assume that Phillip Stumpf (born 1820) was one of his sons. Jakob Stumpf was settled in Speier, but Phillip, after his marriage to Katharina Meuchel, moved to Sulz, and inherited the property of his deceased father-in-law. He seems to have been married in 1839. (No records after that date).

Besides the obvious, why do I think this is funny? Because that's what we got my mom for Christmas this year! Mom had been talking about it and my dad had decided that's what he wanted to do for her. She asked me to come help her choose. At first I was all "Sure, whatever." I figured we'd grab a few beads and go....we were there for almost two hours! I have to tell you though, it came out amazing - there's a bead for every family member and a reason behind each bead on the bracelet. I'm really, really happy I went.
I don't know what's wrong with me that I find this so funny - Louisiana license plates have three letters, then three numbers. Of course, I don't think they allow letters like "ASS", but apparently "VAG" is okay. This cracks me up - yesterday I saw two different cars with "VAG" on their plates, and I was telling J about it and laughing - I said if I got that license plate I'd send it back...I don't want to drive the vaginamobile. Then today I was on the phone and a car moved into the lane in front of me - with a "VAG" license plate. Hahaha - I know, 40-year-old body, 12-year-old brain...
My new favorite song:
I was listening to this in the car the other day (following a VAG car? maybe.) and I started wondering, "Would J take a bullet for me?" and I came to the conclusion that he would. I could honestly see him doing that in that situation. And that floored me; it made me thankful all over again for what a wonderful man I'm married to. Love you honey!!!
To the person who mentioned figging to my husband - are you out of your figging mind?

Here is me and Amanda Palmer singing "Hey Big Dog" at SXSW. I wrote the song with Patty Griffin and it's an imagined duet between myself and my big dog, Ralph. Amanda sings the Ralph part just beautifully. She really makes me cry. It's so tender and sweet. Like I really am singing to my wonderful baby dog, and I only made one guitar mistake.

Free Press readers write
Wish becomes right under Obama�s rule
The Candy Man is back more flexible and emboldened than ever with his stupendous 51 percent popular vote mandate to make the world taste good by spreading around the cream produced by the working man and borrowing the balance required, to fund his special projects, and place the non-achievers on the same economic level as the producers in the pursuit of his dream of a green and egalitarian america. During the last days of the election battle, one could detect smatterings of intelligible thought emanating from the presidential teleprompter, but alas this was simply political rhetoric designed to help scoot the regime across the finish line. In the end empty eloquence triumphed over substance.
During the course of the campaign, we heard the clamoring for a myriad of special legislation and handouts to remedy every perceived ill and injustice that exists in society, from free medical care, to free food and housing and free citizenship to those who enter our country illegally. This begging for government guaranteed freebies peaked when the media heroinized some non-descript female university student, simply because she whined in public for free birth control pills. But then all wishes must be granted.
Team Obama surged forward and helped the great unifier slice and dice the American public into as many disparate portions as possible so as to identify every special interest itch and promise a political scratch and in most cases actual taxpayer scratch to provide relief for the public beggars.
And isn�t it quite curious how all of the demands put forth by these ethically depraved special interest groups have entered into common parlance as entitlements and rights? Entitlement which used to mean having the right to what was yours has now morphed into an Orwellian newspeak term which means having the right to what belongs to someone else.
The notion of right has become completely malleable so as to suit political expediency. Everything that is thought to be desirable by whatever slice of humanity has now become a right to be extended by government; as if calling something a right makes it other than what it actually is. But the detaching of oneself from reality will not change reality as Team Obama will soon realize after they kill off all the cows only to find that they have no cream to serve up at their beggar�s banquet. Universal Sorrow instead will be the main course.

Look in the mirror before judging others
Will Barker has served this community for many years. Too often a true public servant is thrown out like used dishwater, without considering the services provided or the good in them. Also, too often we fail to look in the mirror before judging others.
False friends fail us by saying negative things about us when there are so many positive things they could say.

Kinston Volunteers protect valuable resource
The holiday season is a time of joy and friendship filled with gifts, fun times and happy memories. It is a time when family or the absence of family can be particularly poignant. It is at this time and throughout the year that the work of volunteer Guardians ad Litem is so important.
Throughout our community, over 200 citizens have come forward to serve as advocates for abused and neglected children in our area, children in the court system through no fault of their own. Together, last year, these volunteers advocated for 586 children and because of these volunteers, 290 children were able to have their cases closed because they were in safe and permanent homes. We thank each of these volunteers for their commitment to these children. If you would like to be a part in assuring that children are safe and protected we could use you as a volunteer. Please take that first step by calling 252-520-5452 or visiting our website www.ncgal.org to find out more. Thank you for coming forward to help protect our county�s most valuable resource, it�s children.

It seems like every other week a new Photoshop ad disaster hits the blogosphere.
Sometimes the controversy lies in big-picture issues, like, is it ethical to remove all signs of life from an aging actress' face or digitally delete a model's rib cage?
Other times the problem is far more subtle. Like, some art director chopping off a model's hand or adding a second butt where her thighs should be.
There are epic Photoshop fails out there. Can you spot the disasters?

|Condition or disease
|Drug: Cyclo-Z Drug: Placebo
|Phase 2
We have demonstrated that a cyclic dipeptide Cyclo (his-pro) plus zinc (Cyclo-Z) treatment improved clinical conditions of diabetes in various animal models and a phase 1 clinical trial. The main objective of this study is to demonstrate that this product is safe and effective for the treatment of human diabetes.
Research Plan This is a randomized, double blinded, placebo-controlled, and parallel study. In this study, we will recruit 120 hypoglycemic drug na ve type 2 diabetic patients and randomize them into 4 groups of 30 subjects each to compare the effects of a Cyclo-Z capsule containing Cyclo-His Pro (CHP) 0 (placebo), 3 mg (minimally effective), 9 mg (optimally effective), or 15 mg (no-additional effect) plus 20 mg zinc on diabetic symptoms in a 12-week trial period. The primary outcome of this study is improvement of hemoglobin A1c; secondary outcomes are fasting blood glucose, 2 hours postprandial glucose and glucose tolerance test. Safety will be assessed by the presence of severe adverse events (SAEs), adverse events (AEs), any changes of vital signs, physical exams, blood hematology, chemistry, liver, renal, thyroid function tests, urine analysis and zinc, copper levels.
Clinical Significance The proposed study has a direct impact on veteran's healthcare service. The applicant has obtained two types of US and international patent approvals for preventing and treating human diabetes and obesity with Cyclo-Z. One patent application for Alzheimer's disease treatment has just been approved. These patent rights are now assigned to the DVA. Based on our background studies and observation we anticipate the proposed Phase 2a clinical trials will prove that Cyclo-Z treatment is safe and effective for the treatment of human diabetes and we will be able to present a new class of anti-diabetes drug to improve healthcare of both the VA diabetic patients and the general public.

28th February 2018
James Matheson from Grayling Scotland's PR team looks at why the fast-food chain's crisis response has gone down so well…
A chicken restaurant running out of chicken? If I had suggested this as a scenario for one of Grayling's crisis PR media training sessions, I would probably have been told to make it more realistic.
But that's what happened. One of the world's largest fast-food chains, KFC, ran out of its core product.
Customers were unhappy and in the face of growing negative media coverage, its response was to take out a full-page advert in the Metro and The Sun last week, (23 February) apologising in no uncertain terms for the shortage.
Two things stood out about its approach. Firstly, the tone and language used for the ad itself and secondly, its chosen method of communication.
It opted for an honest and apologetic tone, with a strong dash of self-deprecating humour, led by the image of an empty bucket of chicken with its KFC logo rearranged to read FCK. Its chosen platform to communicate this wasn't an elaborate social media post, video or infographic. It was a traditional, full-page, colour advert in two popular newspapers.
There has been much lauding of KFC's response in marketing and PR circles, and from customers via social media, with it being described as brilliant, and a masterclass in PR crisis management, amongst other plaudits.
It has also been reported that key customer sentiment metrics such as 'consideration' and 'purchase of intent' have been unaffected by the blip. At least, so far.
So why does it appear to have worked so well?
While the response to the crisis inside the walls of KFC HQ may have been more fraught and panicked, what the public response does is reassure its customers that it appreciates the scale and impact of the crisis and instils the confidence that it won't happen again. It addresses the issue head on, takes ownership of its error and holds its hands up without looking to lay the blame elsewhere.
It also understands its audience. Or at least the majority of it. While some might have flinched at the chosen play-on-words and the potential for offense to be taken, this level of creative wit appears to have been judged just right for its British audience and its particular sensibilities.
While KFC appears to have struck the right tone, resulting in an immediate positive response from customers, the impact of any crisis management situation can change as time progresses and with different stakeholders viewing success in a different way, the temptation to view one as a simple 'success' or 'failure' can often be unhelpful.
Leveraging the strength of traditional media to directly address readers in a newsworthy and trusted space is an interesting approach, and having that message transfer so effectively to social media sharing has been key to it having the impact it had.

KEENE, NH-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's field hockey team fell to host Keene State, 3-2, in a Little East Conference match at the Owl Sports Complex on Saturday.
The Owls struck first when senior forward Elizabeth Coffin (Sugar Hill, NH/St. Johnsbury Academy) scored her first of two goals in the seventh minute of play, off a penalty corner attempt by senior midfielder Alyce Ferenc (Rumney, NH/Plymouth Regional HS). Less than five minutes later, Coffin added her second goal, gathering a long pass from sophomore defender Katlyn Simula (Bridgewater, NH/Newfound Regional HS), staking KSC to a 2-0 advantage.
UMD junior defender Taryn Cardiel (Moorpark, CA/Moorpark HS) cut the Corsair deficit to 2-1 when she scored off a penalty corner attempt by junior forward Eleanor Taylor (Fairhaven, MA/Bishop Stang HS) with 12:33 to play in the first half. The Owls answered back in under 20 seconds when Coffin delivered a cross pass to junior forward Kalin Billert (Center Conway, NH/Kennett HS), who beat UMD sophomore goalie Kelsey Gallo (East Greenwich, RI/East Greenwich HS), giving Keene State a 3-1 lead. With 5:53 to play, the Corsairs pulled to within one goal, when sophomore defender Victoria Dolce (Jamestown, RI/North Kingstown HS) scored, off a pass from freshman defender Chelsey Campbell (Barre, MA/Quabbin Regional HS). The Corsairs were unable to score again in the final minutes, leading to the 3-2 loss for UMD.
"It took us deep into the second half to get some momentum," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Nicole Castonguay. "Keene is a very good team, they are fast, quick, and decisive, and, unfortunately, we fell behind them. We're disappointed, we have to come back and give ourselves the opportunity to get better before the playoffs."
The Owls outshot the Corsairs, 14-8. Gallo and sophomore Lauren O'Brien (Rochester, MA/Old Rochester Regional HS) each made four saves for UMD, while freshman Caitlin Davino-Draper (Hanover, MA/Hanover HS) stopped two shots for KSC.
The Corsairs dropped to 9-7 and 8-2 in the Little East Conference with the loss, while the Owls improved to 14-4 and 10-0 in LEC action with the victory. UMass Dartmouth will return to action when they host Wellesley Tuesday evening.

Cisco Talks Commercial Real Estate Technology at 2012 Every Building Conference & Expo
Co-written by Joe O'Connor, Senior Executive Director, Cisco Smart+Connected Communities
Seattle, famous for technology and innovation, couldn't be a more perfect place to attend and participate in the 2012 Every Building Conference & Expo hosted by Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) International and BUILDINGS. This summer meeting is one of commercial real estate's premier events and a place to develop new ideas and showcase Cisco's commitment to the smart+connected real estate industry.
Cisco's participation at the conference will be multi-faceted. As a Cornerstone Partner with BOMA, we will present to other industry professionals on Cisco solutions and hear from other partners about how they have put their ideas to work to advance commercial real estate offerings. We will also be participating in three panel sessions focused on the role of technology innovation in shaping the real estate industry. If you are attending the conference, we encourage you hear from us at the following sessions:
- Sunday, June 24, 9:15 a.m. – 10:30 a.m, Excellence through Innovation: Key Lessons from the Green Sigma Coalition: Cisco's Joe O'Connor will engage in conversation with members of the IBM Green Sigma Coalition as they address the next stage in the evolution of smarter buildings in the context of their collaborative experiences. Panelists will discuss how they are enabling leading edge practices in building energy, space, and operations to meet key sustainability challenges they have faced. And most importantly, the importance of IT and facilities operations teams working together to improve outcomes and help society at large.
- Sunday, June 24, 10:45 a.m. – noon, Technology and Real Estate: The Next Frontier of Industry Transformation: Cisco IBSG's Gordon Feller will be joined by Kristin Ryan, Director at Jonathan Rose Companies; Jesse Sycuro, Operations Manager of Smart Building Solutions at McKinstry and Robert B. Peña, Associate Professor, College of Built Environments at the University of Washington as they participated in a panel session focused on how to turn workplaces and home spaces into environments that are sustainable, personalized, efficient, functional and profitable. The discussion will also highlight how to leverage the network as the 4th utility converges communications, security, and building control systems and more.
- Monday, June 25, 9:00 a.m. – 10:40 a.m, Real Estate 2020: The Shape of Things to Come: Cisco IBSG's Gordon Feller will join a general panel session with other leaders in the real estate, architecture and technology fields as they explore how the changes in the economy, emerging technology, sustainability and quality-of-life factors will impact the shape of our office environments in the years to come. Moderated by award-winning editor John Salustri, the panelists will discuss the evolution of workplaces; how the needs of corporate end-users are changing; how ongoing technological advancements impact—for better or worse—the interaction of people and places; what will define high-performance space; and in a post-terrorist world, what is the outlook for protection of our people and our places.
In addition to participating in Cisco-led events, it's our hope to learn from other industry professionals and discuss key questions on our minds including:
- What are the specific key ingredients which underpin some of the success stories, such as projects which successfully harnessed new ICT?
- In concrete terms, what will characterize the next-generation of smart and connected buildings and communities?
- In light of the character of these next-generation buildings / urban communities, what decisions should a developer be making now in order to future-proof their building projects?
We look forward to sharing our insights to these questions in a future blog post. Stay tuned!
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

ATHENS, Georgia - UC Santa Barbara junior Jennifer Schwalb completed her run at the NCAA Championships with a top-20 finish in the 200 butterfly event and a 36th-place finish in the 100 butterfly.
Schwalb recorded a 2:00.10 in the prelims of the 200 butterfly, and while her time was not fast enough to advance her into the finals of the event, she did finish 19th out of 50 competitors.
In addition to her performance in the 200 butterfly, Schwalb's time of 54.90 in the 100 butterfly earned her a 36th-place finish in that event.
"She's done a great job," said Gaucho head coach Gregg Wilson, who accompanied Schwalb to Athens.

St. Francis Varsity Girls Look to Defend State Basketball Title
St. Francis Girls Look to Defend State Title
With its first state championship in school history, the 2012-13 season was a historic one for the St. Francis girls' basketball team.
The Knights established themselves among the state elite last year as they went 22-8 and won the Class A private school girls' title.
For St. Francis coach Aisha Kennedy, the state crown was a culmination of a process that began when she assumed the reins in 2008.
"It meant everything for our school," Kennedy said. "We've been working hard since I've been there the last five years to get there. We made it to the elite eight the year before, so our goal was to get to the state championship and the girls really worked hard and did it. It was the first state championship in basketball at St. Francis, so it was a really big deal for the basketball part of things at St. Francis."
While the Knights lose two key players from last year's championship team – leading scorer Antoinette Brown, who is now playing on the collegiate level at Alabama State, and Gia Greene – they do return most of their core squad.
Five-foot-6 senior point guard and three-year starter Candice Williams, 5-4 senior guard and West Florida signee Jade Davis, 5-5 senior point guard Amanda Tremble and 5-10 junior guard Abby Grant, a Syracuse commitment, return to provide veteran leadership.
"They are very experienced athletes who will help us along the way," Kennedy said. "We know what to expect with them, because they are very composed and very mature players."
Providing a strong presence in the middle will be 6-3 freshman center Cassiana Kushkituah, who is the seventh-ranked center in the nation in the ESPN Hoop Girls listings.
"Once she gets a couple of looks in and gets used to the level of this game, she will be tremendous for us and it will really help our guard play and open up shots for Abby Grant, who is our 3-point shooter and open up the lane for our other guards to penetrate," Kennedy said.
The Knights will also feature a couple of other promising freshmen in 5-6 guard Michele Tampa and 5-3 point guard Taja Cummings – who are both being heavily recruited already by ACC and SEC schools.
"They will be able to come in and help us offensively and defensively, to be able to give our seniors a break," Kennedy said. "I think they are very mature and already very experienced and that's going to help us with depth. I don't think people are going to be as deep as we are."
For Kennedy and her team, a second consecutive state is the main focus.
"Our goal is to repeat and [our players] talk about it a lot of times," Kennedy said. "We have a tough schedule. We had a tough schedule last year and we do that, because I want to make sure that we are prepared come tournament time. As long as we stay healthy and as long as the girls stay focused, we should definitely be able to make another run."

Deed Restrictions: Each lot will be conveyed subject to the following covenants and restrictions which shall be binding upon the purchaser: (a) A lot shall be used solely and exclusively for residential purposes and no trade or commerce of any kind shall be conducted on a lot. (b) Only one single family dwelling shall be located on each lot and it shall contain at least 1500 square feet of heated and air conditioned space and shall be built on a concrete slab foundation or upon a totally enclosed, pillar type, foundation of stone, brick, concrete or similar material. (c) The dwelling house built upon a lot shall be at least 35 feet from the front and back lot line or boundaries and at least 15 feet from side lot lines. (d) No mobile homes of any kind shall be located on a lot. (e) No horses, any type of livestock or farm animals shall be maintained on a lot. (f) No noxious or offensive activity of any nature shall be conducted on a lot. These covenants and restrictions run with the land and will be binding on any subsequent owner of the lot.
Flowage Easement: Each lot is conveyed subject to the reservations of rights and restrictions contained in the deed from the United States of America to Bartow Saunders dated February 27, 1958 and recorded on pages 403-404 of Deed Book 30 in the Clerk's Office of the Superior Court of Seminole County, Georgia. These reservations and restrictions apply to a flowage easement reserved by the United States Corps of Engineers to deal with situations where the control by the Corps of the waters in Lake Seminole creates flooding up to an elevation of 83 feet above mean sea level on the land bordering on Lake Seminole or bordering on any waterbodies that are connected hydraulically to Lake Seminole by underground formations or otherwise. Clearwater Lake has been identified by the Corps to be such a waterbody. However, the 83 feet elevation of the flowage easement should allow ample room for building a single family residence above the easement on Lots that front on Clearwater Lake, as evidenced by the homes already built all around Clearwater Lake. Any questions or concerns you have about the application of the flowage easement to a specific Lot should be addressed to the Corps of Engineers, Attention: Joseph B. Timmons, at 229-662-2001, fax 229-662-2903. Location of the 83 foot flowage easement line is the responsibility of the Buyer of a waterfront lot.
Seller does not anticipate that this flowage easement will prevent building a single family residence on any Lot included in the Property but, if it does, Seller will refund to the Buyer of such Lot the purchase price thereof and all related costs paid by the Buyer at the closing.
Clearwater Lake: Seller owns the East half of Clearwater Lake. The West half is owned by John Wight, 1485 Pine Circle, NW, Cairo, GA 31728. This is a private lake and no one may fish or boat on it without the owners' permission. As additional incentive to buy the Lots, Seller wants the Buyers to own the East half of the lake and to be able to control who fishes on or uses that portion of it. To this end, as soon as the sales of all Lots have been closed, Seller shall convey to a homeowners association ("HOA") to be formed by the Buyers all Seller's right, title and interest in the East half of the lake. At the same time, Seller will convey the roads in Clearwater Pines to the HOA, including an easement that runs to Clearwater Lake and can be used for building a launching ramp and/or a community dock. Seller has only given permission to fish on the lake to a few persons, including the Sheriff of Seminole County, but is aware that other persons use it on an infrequent basis.
Private Roadways. On the sale of each Lot(s), Seller will grant to each Buyer a nonexclusive easement of ingress and egress over the private roadways that Seller owns serving the Lot(s). In consideration for the grant of this easement, Buyer assumes responsibility, with all other Buyers, for the maintenance of the roadways over which the easement is granted and agrees that Seller shall not be responsible for such maintenance.
Wells and Septic Tanks. The single family dwelling built on the Lot must be served by a separate well and a separate septic tank located on the Lot. Buyer will contract and pay for these improvements when they are needed. Locating and permitting the well and the septic tank on a Lot can be arranged by contacting Joey Bowan with the Seminole County Health Department at 229-495-6589.
Electric Service: Buyer should contact Three Notch EMC at 229-224-5377 to obtain electric service when needed.
Agency Disclosure: In all transactions, Auctioneer is acting as agent for the Seller, not as Buyer's agent. Auctioneer reserves the right to remove or cancel the bids and or bidding rights and privileges of any party, deemed not to be in the best interest of the Seller, at any time.
Broker Participation: A 3% Brokerage fee will be paid to a Real Estate Broker who has been identified in the online registration of the Buyer who is the Broker's client. Said fee will be paid from the 10% Buyer's Premium.

But nonfiction offers some of the best summer reads this year: a memoir about working for the CIA, a book with tips on how to rebuild the world from scratch should it fall apart and a book full of insight about how psychopaths function. If reading about psychopaths isn't your thing, we've also selected a few funnier, psychopath-free books for you in this week's list.

multi-headed X without Xinerama.
Since I have 2 cards to power my 4 screen (3 monitors + tv) I cannot use Xrander. Since I also like games, like warzone and widelands, I cannot use multi-headed X with Xinerama. Witch leave my with multi-headed X without Xinerama. witch used to work nicly with kde 3.5 but dont work nicly with kde 4. A lot of problem as been solve (in plasma in kde 4.5.3, in kwin in 4.7 (patch bagported to kde 4.6-serie in debian).

Galway celebrated a historic Bob O'Keeffe Cup two-in-a-row while Limerick and Wexford safely negotiated their respective preliminary quarter-finals. It's hurling team of the week time…
1. Mark Fanning (Wexford)
Pulled off a fine save to deny Niall O'Brien as the Model County made light work of Westmeath in Mullingar.
2. Liam Ryan (Wexford)
Ryan and his team-mates will face a considerable step up in the quality of opposition next weekend.
3. Daithi Burke (Galway)
The Tribesmen's defence was subjected to a stern examination in the second-half but Burke and his team-mates came good in the end.
4. Johnny Hanbury (Galway)
With back-to-back Leinster SHC titles safely secured, Hanbury & Co have three weeks to prepare for an All-Ireland semi-final.
5. Declan Hannon (Limerick)
It was a case of mission accomplished for the Limerick captain against Carlow and now they switch their focus to Kilkenny.
6. Matthew O'Hanlon (Wexford)
Westmeath got little change out of O'Hanlon and the Model County rearguard in Cusack Park.
7. Aidan Harte (Galway)
The Galway half-back got through an enormous amount of work in Semple Stadium.
8. Conor Fogarty (Kilkenny)
Fogarty and the Cats can't dwell on the disappointment of their defeat for too long as they face a quick turnaround to a quarter-final date with Limerick.
9. Gearoid Hegarty (Limerick)
It was all one-way traffic as Hegarty and the Treaty County gave Joe McDonagh Cup champions Carlow a lesson.
10. TJ Reid (Kilkenny)
Kept fighting to the bitter end but was powerless to prevent the Cats from slipping to a seven-point defeat.
11. Joe Canning (Galway)
The conductor of the orchestra - the Hurler of the Year's return of 0-10 included four efforts from play.
12. Aidan Nolan (Wexford)
Clare will have noted the impact that the Bunclody player had against Westmeath ahead of next weekend's All-Ireland quarter-final.
13. Aaron Gillane (Limerick)
The Carlow defence couldn't cope with the Patrickswell ace who finished with 1-6 (1-4 from play) to his name in Netwatch Cullen Park.
14. Johnny Glynn (Galway)
Got the nod ahead of Conor Cooney to start and repaid Micheal Donoghue's faith in him when causing plenty of headaches for Padraig Walsh and scoring 1-1.
15. Cathal Mannion (Galway)
Punished the Cats at every opportunity and was a deserving recipient of the 'man-of-the-match' accolade after his crucial six point haul.

Yahtzee Releases Art of Theft
Pages 1 2 NEXT
The Escapist is pleased to present The Art of Theft, the latest game from Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw. The Art of Theft is a mission-based stealth platformer, with an emphasis on gameplay over story. Your goal is to infiltrate a variety of buildings in Chapow City, steal loot, achieve objectives and get out again with the subtlety of a flickering shadow in a ninja outfit.
Yahtzee, I've been meaning to get around to all of your games for about a year, now. I got fairly far in Five Days a Stranger, I think, before being sidetracked by something unrelated and forgetting what I was doing. While it's great to see you're still working on them, I suppose I'm quite fortunate they're not going anywhere. Releasing a low-profile game in November 2007 is probably not the best of ideas; I'm not sure I'll have the time for any more probably-great games until about January!
So, is The Escapist's role in distributing this more like a publisher, or a mirror, or what?
They give him money, he gets a platform to advertise his games. That's it I think
Looks a lot like Elevator Action, but with stylish headgear.
I'm playing through Galaxy of Fantabulous Wonderment right now , and enjoying it greatly.
The seriousness of 5/7 Days didn't appeal to me, though.
At first glance I am reminded me the PSP/Xbox Live game, Exit.
Will check it out in a minute or two once this download finishes.
Edit: Having played to the third heist - good job, Yahtzee. Whatever comparisons to Exit I initially had have melted away. It reminds me of the "good old days" of my childhood, playing old DOS games on my 33mhz computer. That's a compliment, by the way - Art of Theft is no worse for wear just because of it's minimalistic art style and I'd say you get bonus points on nostalgia if anything. I don't think the game would've benefited from fancy graphics or a more detailed visual presentation. It works and is fantastic.
I've never been good at stealth games, though. XD Most of my experience in, say, Metal Gear Solid is trying to sneak around, getting seen, and then fighting my way out of it. Trilby doesn't like that option so I'm being forced to play a bit differently than I usually do.
From one budding game designer to another, you get a big thumbs up from me.

Yahtzee reviewing his own games... :)
Since there's nowhere else to ask these sorts of things - On heist #6,
Without giving away to much, read the small notes on the wall, and then read the text above the keypad.
I loved Elevator Action. Man, if AoT had elevators I'd probably need a few moments alone.
Damn, that's pretty good - I knew Yahtzee made games but I didn't know they were this good :D
Will definitely play through this.
I've dug it so far, though the serious story missions so far have been quite difficult, compared to the "Let's go rob people for money ^_^" missions. I've got lower standards and a few other basic upgrades and still can't beat the XJ mission without setting off too many alarms.
it's a fun little diversion
I don't know the code for the spoiler box, so I'll ask this question carefully. I'm on Trilby's second visit to "The Company." It appears to me that Third Level lock-picking, which I haven't acquired yet, is a requirement to finish this level. Am I right?
In the level with the apartments, something seems bugged with the stage light and the diamonds thing. Every time I leave the screen and come back after cutting the power box and turning off that light, it's back on, preventing me from stealing the diamonds it's guarding.
Lather, rinse and repeat as necessary.
Well that killed a few hours of my life:)
Nice vid, not bad at all. In fact it's almost on par with Yahtzee's earlier videos... if only your production wasn't so horrendous. I couldn't understand half of what you said. Try recording each section separately and editing them together. At least them you'd be able to practice keeping the levels the same. Speak clearly, at the same loudness and same speed. But most of all SPEAK CLEARLY.
where can I download his other games from, I looked around the site but I can't find them (then again I have the finding ability of a non internet search engine)
great job Ben!
Hmmm? I can't download this. Every time I try to open the zip file, I get a message saying that it's invalid.
Nothing sucks worse than a game which know is good but which you also know is beyond your reach...
i downloaded it, but it does not work on macs...
Holy necropost, Batman!
This thread is a hive of necromancy.
You're the one who's reawakened it. Necromancer.
I call troll on this one.
Awsome job :) Brings back memories of old adventure games :)
So, when is the Mac version coming up? ;)
Fine work that was a great video
This game is unneccesarily hard after about lvl 4.
This game is amusing if only for the flashback to pixelated side-scrolling sega type games =P.
