Competitors force Blue Ridge Outdoors to take hike
Campers buying tents in the 1970s likely had a different shopping experience than those looking for them today. Before the Internet and massive discount retailers, locally owned outdoors stores had the edge as prime places to buy hiking, camping and other outdoor supplies. Today, bargains on outdoor gear abound online, from Internet retailers' Web sites to online auction business eBay. And a local outdoors retailer says it has fallen under the pressure of competing with this low-price-hunting game. Blue Ridge Outdoors, founded in 1977, closed its Roanoke and Blacksburg stores this week. The stores at Valley View Mall in Roanoke and on North Main Street in downtown Blacksburg sold apparel, shoes and equipment for hikers, boaters and other outdoor enthusiasts.
Gophers Wrap Up Home Stand This Afternoon vs. SDSU
While it has been a struggle to get games in this season due to inclement weather, the Gophers are ecstatic to finally play on their home turf. After opening the season with 27 straight games on the road, Minnesota was scheduled to host its home opener on Friday, Apr. 6 against Iowa. However, due to unplayable field conditions, Minnesota's first four home games were canceled. The Gophers finally were able to host their home opener Friday, Apr. 13 against Purdue. Rain also forced the cancellation of the second game of Sunday’s doubleheader against Northwestern, marking the fifth home contest and seventh overall the Gophers have had canceled this season.

Guard your property
China is now Australia's second largest export market, after Japan, and China is starting to consign the theft of intellectual property to the past. In recognition of this, Austrade has organised a seminar next week for businesses trading with China, or planning to do so in the future, on how they can protect their intellectual property and make it a key part of any business plans they have with the area. Despite its past and the perceptions that still linger, China has acknowledged the right to foreign traders' intellectual property and has set in place laws to protect it. But at issue for many small businesses, says Austrade, is the enforcement of the rules and the adequacy of any penalties for breaching those rules. The Federal Minister for Trade, Warren Truss, says that along with the huge business opportunities that are available to small businesses contemplating moving into China, there are also risks.
Back up your files online Photo backups
Half the fun of digital pictures is showing them off, so odds are you've already uploaded your digital snapshots to a photo-sharing site such as Flickr or SmugMug. Some of these sites have features that provide a decent de facto backup solution for your photos, as well. You can upload an unlimited number of photos (JPEG only) to the new version 3 of Yahoo Photos. If you have a bunch, the upload will take a while. But afterward you (or anyone you share pictures with) can download the full-size image for free: double-click the picture you want, and a Download option appears in the site's menu; choose the full-resolution image on the next screen. One thing to keep in mind is that, while you can upload as many photos as you like (in whatever resolution you choose), you must use your Yahoo ID (on the photo site, Yahoo Web mail or any other Yahoo site or service) once every six months.
