U.S. defender Omar Gonzalez took part in the World Cup 20 years ago in Dallas as a 5-year-old. / Mark J. Rebilas/USA TODAY Sports
Up next: Belgium
Matchup: U.S. (1-1-1) vs. Belgium (3-0-0).
When: 4 p.m. Tuesday.
Where: Salvador, Brazil.
At stake: Quarterfinal berth against Argentina-Switzerland winner at noon Saturday.
Last World Cup meeting: Belgium-U.S. is a rivalry that goes back a ways. OK, maybe not a rivalry, but the teams have met once before in the World Cup the 1930 World Cup, that is. The U.S. beat Belgium, 3-0, in Uruguay in the second game ever played in a World Cup. (They were also supposed to face off in a friendly June 12, but both teams cancelled due to opening-ceremony-related traffic.)
SAO PAULO — It was difficult, but Omar Gonzalez didnt dwell on the Wally Pipp twist of fate. After starting eight of the teams 10 games in the final round of World Cup qualifying last year, he arrived at World Cup camp in May with a minor knee injury that limited his training.
Entering the World Cup, his fitness was back, but his starting job was gone. Geoff Cameron took over his spot at center back. When I stepped back on the field, I think I was ready to go, Gonzalez said. Its just that I think my little injury let Cameron in, and Jurgen was showing a lot of confidence in Cameron.
Cameron would prove to be no Lou Gehrig. Against Portugal, his miscues resulted in two goals in the 2-2 draw. A few days later, Jurgen Klinsmann told the 6-foot-5 Gonzalez he would start against Germany.
Obviously not playing much in the lead-up games and being on the bench in the first two (World Cup) games, you can get down on yourself, Gonzalez said. My main thing the whole time was to be a good teammate, take the focus away from myself and do anything I could to get ready for my teammates and help them during practice.
After a jittery start he is known for the occasional mental gaffe Gonzalez settled into his game and perhaps the starting lineup. On Saturday, Gonzalez said he had not yet been told whether he is starting Tuesday against Belgium.
Against Belgium, Gonzalez will face a team just as talented upfront as Germany. We just have to make sure to keep them in front of us, he said.
With a guy like Romalu Lukaku up top, he is going to want to hold the ball and play people in. So we have got to make sure that we follow our runners, weve got to keep our head on a swivel, and weve got to get around them. Because against Germany, I felt like we were a bit too slow to get around the ball and get tackles in. So we have got to make sure to get into the game a bit quicker.
For Gonzalez, life came full circle in June when he stepped on the field for the first time in the fading minutes against Portugal. Twenty years ago, Gonzalez was on the field when the U.S. hosted the World Cup.
With games in Dallas, Gonzalezs mother, Maria, volunteered at the Cotton Bowl, and the familys four children participated in the on-field pregame festivities. Omar, then 5, loved every minute. He told his mother he wanted to be a professional soccer player.
Gonzalezs goofiness one of his sponsors is Post and he is on the box of Fruity Pebbles, a perfect fit is part of his appeal. After the team clinched a spot to the knockout rounds, he mugged for the TV camera as if he were a fan. What can I say? I was excited, he wrote, posting the clip on Instagram.
Last Thanksgiving, he became an Instagram star with a parody of the 2011 viral video of a shirtless man, dubbed the sexy sax man, playing George Michaels Careless Whisper on a saxophone in odd places.
In his version, with a mountainous backdrop, Gonzalez stripped down to his underwear and black dress socks, and played the sax. I just went for it, he said.
If Gonzalez continues to impress, he could emerge as one of the teams most marketable players with crossover potential. It will help too that he plies his trade stateside, on the backline for the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Highlights from Lions coach Jim Schwartz's Monday news conference:
On tight end Brandon Pettigrew securing the ball: "Pettigrew is a good player. He has made a lot of plays for us. He went through a rough spot. A lot of players do, and nobody is going to play a perfect game and everyone is going to have things that they need work on. He is a very prideful player and, when his team needed him this week, he answered. I think that is a great sign for the future for Brandon. He's blocked well the whole season, and he made some plays in the passing game."

Pregnant woman killed in Venezuela unrestComment on this story
Caracas - A pregnant woman was shot dead near Caracas and a soldier was killed in the western state of Merida, officials said, as the death toll from weeks of anti-government protests in Venezuela rose to 36 on Monday.
Supporters of both sides and members of the security forces have been among those killed in the nation's worst unrest in a decade, sparked by demonstrations against socialist President Nicolas Maduro that began last month.
Francisco Garces, mayor of Guaicaipuro municipality near the capital and a member of the ruling Socialist Party, said the 28-year-old pregnant woman was shot dead on Sunday during a protest.
"We categorically reject the demonstrations that caused this death," Garces told reporters.
The state prosecutor's office said the woman, identified as Adriana Urquiola, was shot after getting off a public bus halted by a makeshift barricade rigged up by protesters.
In the western state of Merida, a National Guard sergeant died on Monday after being shot in the neck during clashes there, the military said.
General Padrino Lopez, head of the armed forces' strategic operational command, said the sergeant, Miguel Parra, and Urquiola were "assassinated at the barricades of terror".
The street barriers are flashpoints for violence between radical supporters of both sides, who are sometimes armed. Members of the security forces have also come under fire from nearby buildings as they try to dismantle the barricades.
Merida and neighbouring Tachira state, on the border with Colombia, have been hardest hit by the unrest.
Last week, intelligence agents arrested the opposition mayor of San Cristobal city in Tachira during a visit to Caracas and accused him of fomenting "civil rebellion".
Another mayor of an opposition-run municipality in central Carabobo state was jailed for 10 months after a court ruled he failed to comply with an order to take down barricades.
On Monday, Maduro said the opposition's two-time presidential candidate Henrique Capriles must heed such rulings in his role as governor of Miranda state, which includes parts of the capital, or give up the position.
"I think the Supreme Court has a great responsibility to make this governor comply with the law and with the citizens," Maduro said in a telephone call to state TV. "If not, he goes. The governor of Miranda will definitely go."
The protests began in February with sporadic demonstrations by university students. They intensified after three people were killed following a February 12 rally in downtown Caracas.
The demonstrators are demanding political change and an end to high inflation, shortages of basic foods, and one of the highest rates of violent crime in the world.
Alongside the moves against the opposition mayors, Maduro's supporters in Congress have requested a criminal investigation of an opposition legislator for crimes including treason relating to the protests.
The National Assembly president, Diosdado Cabello, said on Monday that Maria Corina Machado was no longer a lawmaker after she spoke out against the government last week during a meeting of the Organisation of American States (OAS).
"She's no longer a deputy," Cabello told reporters, adding that her acceptance of an offer from Panama to speak at the OAS was unconstitutional. "We're giving instructions that this woman not be allowed back into parliament for this session."
A constitutional lawyer consulted last week by Reuters said Machado could not lose her parliamentary immunity without approval from both the state prosecutor and the Supreme Court, and then another vote in the National Assembly.
Machado, a 46-year-old engineer elected to Congress in 2010, is frequently pilloried by Socialist Party supporters as an out-of-touch elitist with an especially wealthy background.
Despite her high profile during the protests and hero status for hardline opponents, others in the opposition's more moderate ranks criticise her as shrill and overly confrontational.
The lawmaker, who says the president and his allies preside over a dictatorship, said she would not give up without a fight.
"Mr Cabello, I will remain a deputy for as long as the people of Venezuela want me to," Machado said on Twitter.
The demonstrators are demanding the president resign, while Maduro says they want a coup like the one 12 years ago that briefly ousted his predecessor, the late Hugo Chavez.
The numbers of protesters are far fewer than those who turned out against Chavez in 2002, and there have been no signs that the current unrest threatens to topple Maduro. - Reuters

Turkey Grants Permit For South Stream
Turkey granted Gazprom permission for construction of the South Stream gas pipeline in its territorial waters. Construction should begin within the next 12 months.
The pipeline, which is jointly owned by Gazprom, Italy's Eni, France's EDF and Germany's Wintershall, will run from the Russian Black Sea coast across the seabed, emerging in the Bulgarian town of Varna. From there it will continue into various European countries. Gas transmission is expected to begin in 2015 and full transmission capacity of 63 billion m3 a year will be met in 2018.
Operation of the South Stream pipeline could be problematic for Gazprom in light of the EU's "Third Energy Package." The new legislation calls for an open gas distribution grid, which may require that Gazprom make available some of its transmission capacity to other gas producers. Gazprom has unsuccessfully tried to get a special exemption status for South Stream and above-ground sections of the North Stream pipeline.
The EU is planning its own Nabucco pipeline to compete with South Stream. It would bring gas from Central Asia and the Middle East to Europe.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Gerrit Cole took a shutout into the seventh inning of his major league debut and hit a two-run single in his first at-bat Tuesday night, leading the Pittsburgh Pirates to an 8-2 victory in front of a festive crowd.
The top pick in the 2011 draft, Cole allowed two runs and seven hits in 6 1-3 innings after being called up from Triple-A Indianapolis earlier in the day. He began his highly touted career with a three-pitch strikeout - all 96-mph fastballs - of Gregor Blanco and struck out two overall. He did not walk a batter.
Pedro Alvarez went 3 for 3 with a home run to back Cole. Starling Marte also homered and Andrew McCutchen and Russell Martin had two hits each.

James Brown's 80th Birthday: Remembering a Gold Casket Befitting a King
The gold-plated Promethean coffin
The gold-plated Promethean coffin
That was when a horse-drawn carriage bore Brown's body in a procession through the streets of Harlem on December 28, 2006, before a memorial service at the Apollo Theatre that drew thousands of fans to line up and file past his body. Some of them might have been angling to get a look at the casket as much as at Brown himself.
Brown was decked out in a casket called the Promethean, which is plated in 14-carat gold, with a body of solid bronze, lined with blue velvet. Retail value: $22,000-30,000, making it one of the world's most expensive coffins, if not the most pricey, at the time.
Michael Jackson spent five hours in the funeral home when the body was returned to Augusta, Georgia, studying the lifeless visage of Brown and, no doubt, the coffin as well. Little wonder, then, that as Jackson had followed in Brown's nimble footsteps in life, he followed in them in death, too--also being carried to his memorial service in a gold casket when he died two and a half years later.
Just as Brown was revered as "the hardest-working man in show business," his casket might have been the Hardest-Working Coffin in Show Business.

Brown's family made a last-minute decision to switch to the gold casket on the night before the Apollo memorial. The Reverend Al Sharpton told them he had the money to cover it--as R.J. Smith recalled in his Brown biography--but getting it uptown from Georgia in a hurry was another matter. "The 500-pound box was too heavy for the Learjet Sharpton had ready to fly to New York," wrote Smith. "Sharpton called Donald Trump, but his jet was being repaired...Delta's last flight out of Atlanta had left for the evening."

Survey finds fewer than one in five PCPs make guideline-consistent recommendations to patients-- Jeff Muise
Thursday, October 21, 2010 (Last Updated: 10/22/2010)
THURSDAY, Oct. 21 (HealthDay News) -- Fewer than one-fifth of primary care physicians (PCPs) comply with practice guidelines for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, according to the results of a National Cancer Institute survey published online Oct. 14 in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.
K. Robin Yabroff, Ph.D., of the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Md., and colleagues analyzed data from a 2007 survey of 1,266 PCPs about their practices and screening recommendations, including screening modality, age of initiation, and screening intervals. The survey covered fecal occult blood testing, flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, and double contrast barium enema. The researchers classified the respondents' screening recommendations as guideline-consistent for all, some, or none of the screening modalities.
The investigators found that only 19.1 percent of PCPs made recommendations across all screening modalities consistent with current screening guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and the American Cancer Society. Colonoscopy, the most expensive type of screening, was the modality most often recommended at a frequency exceeding the guidelines. Factors associated with guideline-consistent recommendations included younger physician age, board certification, north central geographic region, and use of electronic medical records.
"Interventions that focus on potentially modifiable physician and practice factors that influence overuse and underuse and address the menu of recommended screening modalities will be important for improving screening practice," the authors write.

I volunteer on the sixth and seventh floors at Children's-Minneapolis, and I have been volunteering for the past seven months (since October 2010).
What is your educational background and future career interest?
My undergraduate degree is in Gender and Women's Studies, and I'm currently pursuing my Masters in Nursing from the University of Minnesota.
What brought you to Children's as a volunteer?
I decided to volunteer at Children's because I enjoy spending time with kids, and I wanted direct experience working with pediatric patients.
What kinds of things do you enjoy doing when you're not volunteering?
I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, traveling to new places, reading, and running.
What do you enjoy most about volunteering?
Hanging out with awesome kids is what I enjoy most about volunteering! I especially like playing games and doing crafts with kids. Seeing smiles on their faces is really rewarding, and I like knowing that I made their stay at Children's a little bit better.

Simbsboro?s Daniel Ogunyemi shoots against Madison Prep on Wednesday in the Class B championship game in Monroe.
- Filed Under
Ice-cold shooting offset a hot crowd and solid defense from Simsboro as the Tigers lost in the Class B title game to No. 1 Madison Prep (42-3) 53-37 Wednesday in the LHSAA Top 28.
A year after falling to Zwolle in these same Class B finals, a senior-laden Simsboro team shot 21.5 percent, making 14-of-65 from the field.
Duntavious Harris' 3-point basket with 7:04 left in the third quarter pulled Simsboro to within six at 28-22, but a 3-pointer by the state's top prospect, Jarrell Martin of Madison Prep closed the quarter. ...

Getty To Pay $16 Million Towards Clean Up Of Toxic Newtown Creek
In 1978 a US Coast Guard helicopter on a routine check spotted oil spilling into Newtown Creek. An estimated 30 million gallons leaked into the soil and water, causing health and environmental problems to the residents of Greenpoint – human and otherwise – ever since.
This week, 36 years after the spill was first noticed, the government will receive more money to clean up the site from the people responsible for turning the creek into a polluted waterway. On Tuesday, the US government reached a settlement with Getty Petroleum which will pump an additional $16 million into the clean up of the designated Superfund site. As reported in the New York Post, Getty filed for bankruptcy back in 2011 and the federal government will receive the $16 million as part of that process.

Share This: The Social Media Handbook for PR Professionals set for launch following social collaboration by leading digital PR practitioners
More than 20 of the UK's leading practitioners in the field of digital communications and public relations have contributed to 'Share This: The Social Media Handbook for PR Professionals' – a crowdsourced social media book, from the Chartered Institute of Public Relations, due for publication in print and digital formats by Wiley on Friday 20 July.
'Share This' includes insights and practical guidance on how professional communicators can utilise social media and networks and platforms to engage directly in conversation with audiences. The book is split into 26 chapters over eight topic areas, covering the media and public relations industry, planning, social networks, online media relations, monitoring and measurement, skills, industry change and the future of the industry. Each chapter has been contributed by one of the foremost experts in the given subject area.
'Share This' has been edited by Stephen Waddington with contributions from Katy Howell, Simon Sanders, Andrew Smith, Helen Nowicka, Gemma Griffiths, Becky McMichael, Robin Wilson, Alex Lacey, Matt Appleby, Dan Tyte, Stephen Waddington, Stuart Bruce, Rob Brown, Russell Goldsmith, Adam Parker, Julio Romo, Philip Sheldrake, Richard Bagnall, Daljit Bhurji, Richard Bailey, Rachel Miller, Mark Pack, and Simon Collister.
During the coming weeks, the book launch will be supported by the release of YouTube video introductions to each of the chapters by each of the authors; a social media quiz from the CIPR, designed to test the digital knowledge of practitioners; and will culminate in an exclusive invite-only launch event at Google Campus, east London on Wednesday 18 July.
I'd like to thank the CIPR Social Media Panel which has worked tirelessly since its creation two years ago to provide guidance to the Institute and its members, ensuring that the CIPR is at the forefront of helping practitioners tackle the shift that is taking place in the profession with leadership, guidance and training.
'Share This' is itself a social effort by the CIPR Social Media Panel and friends. The book was conceived and written over a three-month period by practitioners representing a cross-section of public, private and voluntary sector expertise. The project was managed via a series of Google Documents with contributors reviewing and commenting on each other's work. We've used many of the techniques that the book itself addresses.
'Share This' has been endorsed by Lord Sugar; Paul Staines (aka Guido Fawkes); Paul Mylrea, Director of Communications at the BBC; Professor Tom Watson, Professor of Public Relations, Bournemouth University; Marshall Manson, Managing Director, Digital, EMEA, Edelman; and Avril Lee, Partner, CEO London, Ketchum Pleon, among others.
About the Chartered Institute of Public Relations
Founded in 1948, the Chartered Institute of Public relations (CIPR) is the professional body for public relations practitioners in the UK. With over 10,000 members involved in all aspects of PR, it is the largest body of its type in Europe. The CIPR advances the public relations profession in the UK by making its members accountable through a code of conduct, developing policies, representing its members and raising standards through education and training.

Okay, I don?t want to be too harsh here but, sorry GM, I?ve never been a Buick fan. Sure, one could argue Buicks are well built, reliable luxury cars. But there?s always been something just a little off ? something missing. When it came to competing with the imports, Buick just couldn?t deliver the goods. And, lest we forget, only old people buy Buicks, right?
Well, Buick bashers, prepare to have everything you?ve ever thought turned upside down. There?s a new kid on the block ? the Enclave ? and it?s not only turning heads but it may just be the ticket Buick needs to shed its decaying dinosaur image.
The Buick Enclave is a Crossover SUV and arguably the best Buick ever, one that breaks the mold and will get many folks like me rethinking this battered brand. My wife fell in love with the Enclave and, without a doubt, this car will be on our short list when shopping for a new family vehicle.
Crossover SUVs
Crossovers are the latest buzz in automotive jargon. They?re sort of a cross ? or mix if you prefer ? between SUVs, minivans and sedans. If you consider what we?re doing here at Active.com with our annual Active Lifestyle Vehicles (ALV) awards, a Crossover is probably the closest example of an all-around ALV. The Enclave fits our ALV mold like a glove.
The Enclave shares its foundation with GM's latest batch of Crossovers, including the Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia. But the Buick is positioned as the most luxurious and, in that regard, it doesn?t disappoint.
Inside the spacious cabin, you?ll be dazzled by the array of luxury touches. A mahogany wood steering wheel contrasts well with authentic-looking faux burl woodgrain. I really liked the aluminum accents and chrome rings around the recessed and blue-lighted speedometer, tachometer, voltage, fuel and temperature gauges. A round analog clock, very similar to Infiniti?s signature style, sits above an in-dash AM/FM Stereo/CD/MP3 player.
My vehicle was also outfitted with XM Satellite Radio and, one of the very cool features, mostly because of its simplicity and practicality, was that I could mix my station settings across bands. Simply stated, instead of having to switch bands to listen to Satellite or FM radio, I could mix the memory settings so that some buttons could be Satellite, while others could be my favorite AM or FM stations. A digital display, above each button, also shows what station each button is programmed to.
A tilt and telescoping steering wheel, tri-zone climate control and smart-slide second row seat round out an impressive collection of standard features we?ve come to expect in a luxury vehicle.
A bold Buick front grille, rounded corners and stylish Xenon high-intensity discharge headlamps give the Enclave a distinct, handsome appearance. My CXL came with 19? chrome wheels, a $1,495 option, which only accentuated this stunningly good-looking vehicle.
The Enclave comes in CX and CXL trim levels. Leather is included in the upscale CXL trim. Both have a standard seven-passenger seating configuration via second-row captain's chairs and a third-row bench seat. An optional second-row bench seat, available for no extra charge, increases capacity to eight. Second and third row seats are a cinch to fold flat, and moving between the second and third rows is much like a minivan.
The 60/40 split third row seat allowed me to easily place my bike in either the 40 or 60 portion while one of my sons sat in the other seat. I had the captain?s chairs version which makes for a very elegant interior.
With all three rows of seats in place, there was still plenty of storage area behind the third row. The Enclave also boasts a power liftgate for accessing the rear cabin behind the third row of seats. Call me soft, but I?m starting to really like having a power liftgate that can be activated from the remote or button on the liftgate. There?s actually nothing more convenient than having an armful of groceries and simply clicking a button and watching the gate close automatically.
Installing my two year-old?s car seat into one of the captain?s chairs was a breeze. Latches and tether hooks were well placed and easy to get to.
Perfect Minivan Alternative
Essentially, the Enclave is a perfect minivan alternative for those that don?t want to digress to soccer mom or minivan status. Not that there?s anything wrong with it. I?ve been a happy minivan owner for over five years but, I?ll have to admit, these large Crossover SUVs are way cooler looking and just as functional from a cargo and passenger carrying perspective.
But what really impressed me was how whisper quiet the Enclave was inside. Thanks to Buick's focus on reducing noise, the Enclave is one of the quietest vehicles on the road. Tire, wind, and road noise are virtually non-existent thanks to the engineer's focus on damping all the bad sound.
For those ? me included ? who?ve always thought of Buicks as ?soft,? you?ll be shocked and surprised to find the Enclave boasts tight steering and suspension to give you a terrific feel of the road. Interestingly, I had just tested the Saturn Outlook, a formidable cousin of the Enclave, and found its steering to be the typical soft I?ve come to expect from American automakers. While Americans have traditionally loved power steering, today?s driver wants variable power steering that tightens up nicely as you increase speed. The Enclave is outstanding in this regard and nothing like Buicks of the past.
The 3.6 liter 6-speed automatic transmission spits out 275 horsepower and is an adequate accelerator. For stat geeks, 0-60mph is achieved in 8.2 seconds. If there was one negative to the Enclave it was that every once in a while, and this only happened at slow speeds (less than 25 mph), there was a hesitation to downshift. Other than that, the automatic transmission performed flawlessly. Shifting was crisp and smooth.
The Enclave also comes in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive version, which delivers slightly less fuel economy. For a vehicle this size, the 16/24 city/highway driving EPA is pretty impressive. Many SUVs don?t even get over 20mpg on the highway. If you step up to AWD, your Enclave delivers 16/22 mpg.
The Enclave also features traction and stability control systems in addition to a tire pressure monitoring system and all the typical safety features you expect nowadays: antilock brakes plus front, side and curtain side airbags. Enclave also received five star government safety ratings for both frontal and side crash impacts.
As I mentioned up front, if you?re inclined to steer away from Buick because of past impressions or perceptions, the Enclave is sure to change your thinking. In a crowded field of SUVs, Crossovers and Minivans, the Enclave is not only a breath of fresh air, but it may very well restore your faith in American ingenuity and craftsmanship.

The saga began with an international businessman's simple dream of building a €75 million resort for polo players in Croatia. On Wednesday, it landed in the cavernous hall of the European Parliament, which voted to lift the legal immunity of a member who faces a defamation complaint for suggesting the businessman was an "idiot."
It's a case that features allegations of Balkan corruption, a scheming bank, the flood of foreign land-developers into Croatia and the peculiar fact that being accused of defamation appears to be an occupational hazard for European lawmakers. Read More »

Yesterday was super fun – DT Nordstrom Spring Trend. There were TONS of giveaways, a fashion and makeup show in the morning, free gifts being given away at every turn, new start ups – Glassy Baby (A Seattle based company) featured a Nordstrom exclusive, gifts with purchase and regional, global, national makeup artists and trainers. I looked over at MAC yesterday and saw a MUA that I recognized from the MAC blog! I worked side by side with a MUA that had done makeup for the founder and CEO of Bare Escentuals just a few days ago – I had read it on facebook and then put the pieces together and he confirmed it was so.
One of the things that didn't happen yesterday – despite TONS of appointments, *super important* national artists and a super busy store, were a lot of sales. This was super irritating, until I realized I could just totally enjoy the moment. How often do I have unlimited supplies, time and people to work on and with? I sat down anyone and everyone who wanted to get their makeup done! Typically I would be over the hill irritated with the girl who was "going out tonight and just wanted her makeup done" – but yesterday I just went with it and had no expectation of a sale at the end and tried new things and looks on women that were out of my comfort zone, but pushed me in a new way because I wasn't afraid to try something new and didn't have anything holding me back!
The retail artist was unleashed and I had so much fun! And… I made a few sales too.

text: Requesting an e-book through a home computer. Reserving a hard copy book through a website. Parking outside the library to check e-mail. Modern library-goers in the Bethel area have options to choose from that readers of 30 years ago likely never imagined. Although the libraries still have stacks and stacks of books on shelves, the digital age has crept quietly into the way readers, and librarians, use the time-honored institutions. When Bethel librarian Michelle Conroy took the job 17 years ago, "The catalog was on hand-written cards," she said. Today, patrons can check for books on the library's website from their cell phones or laptops and reserve them, if they like. If a book is not available immediately, the patron gets an e-mail notification when it is. And since early last year, readers have been able to go through the library site and "borrow" e-books with their Bethel Library card through the Maine InfoNet Download Library, via the Maine State Library.
