Melani Freeman, 40, was ordered by a judge on Monday morning to either plead guilty to a charge of animal cruelty or go to trial dating back to the widely publicized October case of Freeman allegedly chaining and abandoning a five-year-old dog to a pipe in the attic of a home on Genesee Street with no food or water reported Syracuse.com.
City Court Judge Theodore Limpert promised Freeman no jail time and she would be placed on probation for the misdemeanor, however the woman's attorney stated Freeman would most likely lose her job as a health aide if she pleads guilty.
If Freeman does not plead guilty on her next court date on March 31, a jury trial will be scheduled. Freeman faces a maximum of a year in prison. She has been charged with misdemeanor animal cruelty, improper confinement of a dog, failure to provide sustenance, and failure to provide medical help.
On October 11, Freeman moved out of her home and left the pit bull and boxer mix tethered by a short leash to a pipe in the attic. One week later, the landlord found the dog and called authorities. The dog had been living in feces and urine and, according to the City of New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (CNY SPCA), the dog was at least 25 pounds underweight.
Read the complete story by clicking here.
The dog named Coco was slowly brought back to health. As opposed to what Freeman stated that someone was supposed to have been caring for the dog, and that the dog had been ill, Coco slowly recovered.
Sadly, there has not been a happily ever after future for Coco. According to Paul Morgan, the executive director for the SPCA, Coco was humanely euthanized in February after she attacked a worker during a walk. Morgan stated Coco was too much of a liability to be made available for adoption.
Rest in peace Coco.

Thank you to Antonio for his kindness and availability! we can count on you if something goes wrong (like need a hotel!) Lovely stay and apartment relaxing and tranquil after the long walks of the day!
Merci à Antonio pour sa gentillesse et sa disponibilité! on peut compter sur toi en cas de pépin (genre besoin d'un garagiste!) Séjour très agréable et appartement reposant et tranquille après les longues marches à pied de la journée!
Antonio was a great host, helpful and kind. Our place had a great location, few minutes away from two metro lines, which are usefull in exploring the city. Good price, zero problems, wonderfull city!
Tony è una persona molto gentile, la casa molto comoda e pulita ad eccezione della cucina che era veramente sporca.
nel complesso buono il rapporto costo qualità.
chambre située sur la rue très bruyante. Pas de garage privé. Parking en face la nuit 19€.
Antonio is friendly and helpful. The flat is nice and in a great localisation. I recommend staying here.
Antonio was a very nice and friendly host :) He offered us his help and was very careful. The room as well as the kitchen was clean. Only thing was that there wasn't much fresh air inside the room because there was just one window opening to the I guess inner court yard. Otherwise everything was very nice and we had a great stay even though it was just one day. Hope next time we can stay longer at Antonio's :)
Despite a bit of a language barrier (I speak no Spanish) between me and Antonio, he was helpful when we arrived and only met us at the beginning and end of our stay, so we had all the privacy we wanted :) I didn't realise we would be in a flat with a few other rooms (with couples who kept to themselves) and that there was a 25 euro deposit for the keys but no problems there.
In all it was definitely a good choice - the room was warm at night but opening doors/windows helped and there were no bugs/mosquitoes to worry about. The location can't be beaten - sufficiently quiet part of the Carrer de Valencia but two seconds and you're at the Sagrada and corresponding metro. Plus Tuscania restaurant around the corner/opp. the S.F. is a great place to eat if you want to pay a bit more but in return get really good Italian :)
The balcony was as cute as it looked in the photos - in fact, all the photos were accurate representations, always reassuring :) There may be better rooms in Barcelona but nowhere near as cheap or well located as this, I def. recommend it :)
P.S. there was a small lift to take us from the surprisingly fancy entrance lobby up to the fifth floor, very useful :)
central area. owner friendly and always present
zona centrale. proprietario accogliente e sempre presente

Proper design, placement and management of litter boxes can go a long way toward stopping or preventing cats from urinating or defecating in the wrong place, according to a new brochure by a national cat medical group.
The publication, "Feline House-Soiling: Useful Information for Cat Owners," which the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) unveiled Aug. 14, explains that litter box avoidance is not an act of spite but a call for help. In many cases, an inadequate litter box setup is the cause.
Among the brochure's recommendations:
- A litter box should be 1.5 times the length of the cat from the nose to the base of the tail, but many boxes sold in stores are too small. Try alternatives, such as plastic storage bins, which are available in large sizes.
- Cats can be territorial, so one litter box may not be enough in a multi-cat household. Place several boxes in multiple locations throughout the home.
- A cat may not like certain kinds of litter, so provide multiple boxes with different litter types to see which one he prefers.
A veterinary checkup is also suggested for a cat with litter box problems, as a urinary tract infection or other health ailment may be to blame.
The brochure is intended for veterinarians to distribute to their clients, but it can be downloaded by anyone here.
"Educated cat owners can prevent, address and hopefully manage the problem before they reach the point of complete frustration," said Heather O'Steen, AAFP's executive director.
The brochure's release comes less than two months after AAFP and the International Society of Feline Medicine issued new guidelines to help veterinarians address house soiling in their feline patients. Fixing such problems is critical because they are a major reason why people abandon their cats or surrender them to high-kill animal shelters.

UMass Hall Of Famer Ray Ellerbrook Passes Away
Sept. 19, 2013
AMHERST, Mass. - Former University of Massachusetts two-sport star Ray Ellerbrook passed away Wednesday night. Ellerbrook, 65, died at his Pioneer Knolls home with his wife, Wendy, their two sons, Mike and Tom, and other family members and friends gathered around.
A two-time All-Yankee Conference selection in basketball (1969 and 1970), Ellerbrook was a third-team All-New England selection in 1968-69. He was also a two-time All-Yankee Conference selection in baseball (1969 and 1970) and an honorable mention All-New England and All-Northeast second team selection in 1970.
A member of the basketball team that captured three straight Yankee Conference titles (1968-70), Ellerbrook was the captain of the 1969-70 squad that advanced to the National Invitation Tournament for the first time in school history. Ellerbrook scored 1,224 career points in three seasons, which currently ranks 22nd on the all-time chart.
At the time of his graduation he ranked second in career assists, fourth in points, third in field goal attempts and sixth in scoring. His 16.5 points per game ranked ninth on the all-timelist while his 1,156 career field goal attempts were 10th.
In baseball, Ellerbrook played first base and posted a career batting average of .299. He was a member of the 1969 squad that captured the Yankee Conference title and advanced to the College World Series, upsetting No. 1 Southern Illinois, 2-0. Ellerbrook was the Samuel S. Crossman Two-Sport Athlete Award winner in 1970.
Ellerbrook, who was the first member of his family to attend college, graduated from UMass in 1970. The Hawthorne, N.J. native also graduated from Hawthorne HS.
Ellerbrook was inducted into the UMass Athletic Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 1998. The six-member class that year also included Dick Bergquist (baseball) and Jack Leaman (basketball) - his two coaches during his time at UMass.
His wife swam at UMass and Tom was a catcher for the Minutemen.
He worked for the Northampton Recreation Department for 28 years before spending a decade as the executive director for Look Memorial Park. He retired from the park position on Dec. 31, 2012.
In 1999, the Daily Hampshire Gazette named him one of the top 25 local athletes over the last 100 years. The Ray Ellerbrook Athletic Fields were dedicated on June 13, 2009 in Northampton. He was also enshrined into the New England Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009.
Calling hours will be Sunday from 1 to 6 p.m. at Czelusniak Funeral Home, 173 North St. in Northampton. A celebration of Ellerbrook's life will be held Monday at 11 a.m. at the Ray Ellerbrook Athletic Field at 48 Burts Pit Road.

From a high crotch takedown, coach Brands demonstrates going right into a leg turk or a guttwrench turn to freestyle wrestling.

Disease Proof
Nutrition Education a Dud?
An Associated Press review of scientific studies examining 57 such programs found mostly failure. Just four showed any real success in changing the way kids eat — or any promise as weapons against the growing epidemic of childhood obesity.I don't know, I still think educating people is a smart move—what about you?
"Any person looking at the published literature about these programs would have to conclude that they are generally not working," said Dr. Tom Baranowski, a pediatrics professor at Houston's Baylor College of Medicine who studies behavioral nutrition.
The results have been disappointing, to say the least:
-Last year a major federal pilot program offering free fruits and vegetables to school children showed fifth graders became less willing to eat them than they had been at the start. Apparently they didn't like the taste.
-In Pennsylvania, researchers went so far as to give prizes to school children who ate fruits and vegetables. That worked while the prizes were offered, but when the researchers came back seven months later the kids had reverted to their original eating habits: soda and chips.
-In studies where children tell researchers they are eating better or exercising more, there is usually no change in blood pressure, body size or cholesterol measures; they want to eat better, they might even think they are, but they're not.
A better approach (rather than bribing the kids to eat carrot sticks and celery) is to make the whole plant foods fun and delicious for the younger ones. A Fuhrman dip for those carrot sticks (forget about the celery) would be a whole different story! Kids want to be strong, healthy, at a good weight; they and their parents don't want them on allergy or ADHD meds. Being fat is embarrassing and distressing for them. Most like to try new foods. Telling them that a mango has a pit which looks like a flying saucer is intriguing and fun. A teacher doing a "contrast and compare" lesson on different kinds of crisp-fresh apples (and having the kids sample them) also opens their worlds a bit on flavor differences and in a fun way. I've seen a 3rd grade teacher take health lessons to a more hands-on level--growing food plants, comparing root veggies not through diagrams but with the real thing, etc. The kids loved it. There has to be a more concerted educational effort in each school which involves everyone--staff, parents and the kids. A good wellness coordinator at each school is key to reach the most people.

With the one-year anniversary of the Boston Marathon and attendant bombing coming next week, Bostonians are understandably a little nervous, hopeful, fearful and thoughtful.
There will be many activities this coming week honoring the victims, caregivers, EMT's and friends, and memorials to what happened that terrible day when all the runners hoped to do was finish the race. Many will come to finish the race they couldn't last year and it will be an emotional scene.
One of the events around the marathon takes place this coming Saturday night at 7 p.m. at the Arlington Street Church at the corner of Arlington and Boylston Streets, as close as one can get to the finish line. There, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, the head of the Shambhala Buddhist lineage, will bring a message ot comfort, compassion and kindness to a city that needs it more than ever.
What's special about the Sakyong is that he, too, is a marathon runner, having run nine marathons and in fact ran in the Boston Marathon in 2006, so he knows what it's like to finish that race.
The Sakyong, as he is called, is the spiritual and secular leader of Shambhala, a global network of contemplative communities, grounded in the power of creating enlightened society in everyday life and the inherent goodness of humanity. He is believed by some Buddhists to be the second incarnation of Mipham the Great, who is revered in Tibet. He is also the author of several books including "Running With the Mind of Meditation," "Turning the Mind into an Ally" and award winning "Ruling Your World."
The Sakyong, literally translated as "earth Protector," is a dharma king and lineage holder of the Shambhala lineage, guiding thousands of students around the world in the path of meditation.
He is married with two daughters and divides his time between Boulder, Colorado, and Halifax, Nova Scotia.
For tickets to the talk tomorrow night, go to www.movingforwardboston.com.

Summer has finally arrived in Minnesota! As we flock to pools and beaches, it is important to review what drowning looks like as it is not what most people may think.
Drowning most often does not match our preconceived notions of yelling and screaming for help while frantically waving arms in the water. Rather, the drowning victim may be silent and appear to be just fine with little, if any, splashing or flailing. The victim is generally unable to call for help and will be using all available oxygen to breathe while struggling to stay above water. The victim will silently slip under water and drown, sometimes within just a few feet of others, which is why it is important to know the signs of drowning and vigilantly watch for them.
Below are some of the signs of drowning:
• A drowning person cannot call for help and has to be able to breathe before she can speak. When a person is drowning, her mouth sinks below and reappears above the surface of the water. There is not time for her to exhale, inhale, and call out for help.
• A drowning person cannot wave for help as she will instinctively extend her arms to the sides and press down to lift her mouth out of the water. A child may extend her arms forward.
• A drowning person remains upright in the water, with no evidence of kicking. She can struggle for only 20 to 60 seconds before going under.
• A drowning person's eyes are glassy, unable to focus, or may be closed.
• A drowning person's hair may be over her forehead or eyes.
• A drowning person's head is low in the water, with her mouth at water level. The head may also be tilted back with her mouth open. A child's head may fall forward.
Sometimes the most important indicator that someone is drowning is that she does not look like she is drowning. She may seem to be looking up at the sky, shore, pool deck, or dock. Ask her, "Are you all right?" If she does not answer and returns a blank stare, you may have less than 30 seconds to get to her. Also, children playing in the water make noise. When they get quiet, you need to get to them and find out why.
The best way to know is to view what drowning looks like, so please take a few moments to view the video links below:

All Americans who can afford to buy a car are required by law to buy auto insurance. The premiums for auto insurance are part of the expense of driving. Precision Insurance Agency had two locations in Washington, D.C., that provided excellent customer service and a wide selection of insurance carriers.
The office on Georgia Avenue next to Blockbuster Video was once staffed by Carrie Stanton provided and excellent coverage in 1992. After that office closed the office on Rhode Island Avenue staffed by Barbara Stark and Gail Araya became the source of auto insurance for many in the District. Today both of the DC offices are closed.
The current location for Precision Insurance Agency is located on 7904 Georgia Avenue in Silver Spring just across the DC line. The excellent customer service provided by Gail Araya is the reason that customer loyalty to the agency has now reached 22 years for the present writer.
Customer Service is the key element for any insurance agency. Treating customers with respect and appreciation ensures customer loyalty. Having driven for over 40 years without being in an accident is a major achievement, however, the law requires drivers to obtain auto insurance regardless of whether the driver has had an accident.
Gail Araya always treats her customers with respect. She is an insurance professional with many years of experience in the auto insurance business. There are many insurance companies that send offers for auto insurance with cheaper rates; yet, none of the agencies can guarantee that they will provide the driver with two decades of great customer service. Since 1992 Precision Insurance Agency through Carrie, Barbara, and Gail, has provided great customer service and advice.
Precision Insurance Agency offers auto insurance from the leading insurance companies. Gail Araya is an insurance agent with the kind of knowledge and experience a driver can trust. For more information on auto insurance requirements contact Gail Stotler Araya, Insurance Agent, Precision Insurance Agency, 7904 Georgia Avenue, Silver Spring, Maryland 20910.

"Sons of Anarchy" season 7 will not be airing until fall 2014, but Kurt Sutter recently let fans know some important things about the upcoming season. According to a March 6 report by International Business Times, one of the stars of "Breaking Bad" may be coming to Charming and other sources have revealed other facts that viewers need to know about the upcoming season.
Warning: If you do not want to know possible "Sons of Anarchy" season 7 spoilers, then stop reading.
The season finale went out with a bang and fans were shocked at what happened, but it was an incredible ending. With Tara dead, Jax disposing of the evidence to protect Gemma and Patterson finding Jax holding his dead wife's body along with everything else, there will be a lot to deal with when the show returns.
Jesse Pinkman, a "Breaking Bad" character played by Aaron Paul, may make a possible guest appearance on "SOA." It has not been confirmed yet if Paul will show up in Charming, but Sutter did compare the two shows in an interview with Vulture,
"There's a lot of similarities and thematic things that are just going to feel similar because you're dealing with guys who break the law but still have some sense of conscience and the characteristics of antiheroes."
He also said about "Breaking Bad" and "Sons of Anarchy,"
"I know that there'll be overlap, and I know that there will be similarities to the way my show ends and the way Breaking Bad ends and I'm sure the way Boardwalk ends, but you really can't start thinking in terms of, "Well, I don't want to do it that way," or "How can I be different?" because then you're ultimately putting unnecessary handcuffs on your process."
Sutter also said that he is trying to not bring a new sheriff to town because Jax and the club have enough to deal with. He explained,
"We're trying to avoid the new sheriff in town device because we've kinda used it."
However, Epoch Times did report that even though a new sheriff might not be added, there would be new law enforcement characters.
As far as who will be on the show besides the main cast, Drea de Matteo (Wendy) has been promoted to series regular, Jimmy Smits will be back as Nero, Dayton Callie will continue his role as Unser throughout season 7 and Peter Weller will return as Barosky, who will also direct as least two episodes. CCH Pounder and Kim Dickens will also return, but only in a limited capacity as they have other commitments.
Kurt Sutter has said that season 7 will the last for "Sons of Anarchy."

By Jason S. Leverett Link to Combat Corduroy Profile
Sitting down with the indie/jam band Combat Corduroy would betray their laid back nature as well as their all too obvious love for playing music. Spend five minutes with the boys (Or spot their unmistakable white van with their name spray painted over the side) and you'll soon see they're just four regular fellows looking to have a good time. Oh and they just won a huge four month long battle of the bands this past summer defeating a long list of artists of many different genre and earning some serious evidence for being one of the best bands in the state of Michigan. How did your band spend your summer?
Combat Corduroy originally was formed in 2004 by high school pals Logan Castle (Lead vocals and rhythm guitar) and Brandon Jennings (Bass guitar) along with drummer Ryan Etzcorn (Now of Frontier Ruckus) and Jennings' sister Annie on lead vocals and keyboard. In their earliest days the band was mostly an acoustic outfit. After Etzcorn left the band in 2006 he was replaced with Jon Petro and soon afterwards they were joined by Andrew Watkins on lead guitar and the band started heading towards a Rock & Roll style with their sound, playing as the house band for Boomerang's and later the Grotto. When Annie left the group the band began their transformation into what they now refer to as "Folk Metal" having decided they needed to get serious with their music (As serious as a band that calls their genre "Folk Metal" can be, of course). Influenced by an assortment of genres including Blues, Metal, Hip Hop and Jam Bands, and mostly form 90s rock music, Combat Corduroy provides a unique sound that takes a bit from everything.
"When we bring it together everyone has cool pronounced parts," lead singer Castle says when asked about the song writing process. As the primary songwriter Castle will bring in the basic progression to be jammed out with the rest of the group. "Logan has an arsenal of songs," observes Petro. The band boasts a lively show, no doubt perfect from their time as a house band. "The majority [of our shows] are fairly high energy," Castle notes. More often than not people who came to the gig having never even heard the band's name leave the venue having told them how much they rocked the place. Their win at Blood Sweat and Tears may have given them their highest amount of exposure yet but they are still eager to make new fans and get more folks out to their shows. "If you walk in a feeling like a loser you'll walk out a winner," Petro joked.
Though they released an EP in 2008 their first full length album, "Bless the Flowers, Bless the Weeds", just dropped this fall. Recorded with KOYEZ Production the new CD is a much closer indication of the band's current sound since the departure of Annie Jennings. "Listen to our tunes. They'll sell themselves," says Watkins. Combat Corduroy will be playing at the Strutt on December 16th (Courtesy of Kzoo Music Scene, part of "The Launch" Kick-Off Party), at the Old Dog Tavern on December 29th and at the Intersection in Grand Rapids January 8th. Possibly even more exciting is that the boys will be releasing a music video for their song "Her" in the Spring of 2012; their prize for winning at Blood, Sweat and Tears. If you haven't checked them out yet this needs to change as they may be one of the faster rising bands in Kalamazoo today, which could mean they'll be one of the tops bands in the state tomorrow.

The Bigfoot hunter and photo of Bigfoot are still in the news today after tons of curiosity surrounded the story earlier this week. As previously reported, a man named Rick Dyer claims that he shot and killed Bigfoot and he even provided a photo as proof. If that wasn't enough, Dyer brought in over 100 people to check out the dead carcass -- and now he says he's bringing it on tour.
The tour will span the U.S., Mexico, and Canada and will allow people to see the body of "Bigfoot" -- for a price. After running several DNA tests, Dyer says that he does, in fact, have the body of a Sasquatch and he believes that if people actually see the body in person, they will know it's the real deal.
The Bigfoot hunter's photo looks scary and really strange which is why some people are curious to know if it's legit. Of course if you don't believe in this sort of thing, you know it's not. But then there's always that little voice that says "But what if it is?" Which is what Dyer is banking on -- literally. It's unclear how much money he intends to charge people but he might just get rich off of this tour.
Before heading out on the road, Dyer says that he will hold a press conference where the full body of "Bigfoot" will be displayed. He will also provide the public with the test results he obtained.
More on Bigfoot and the hunter photo everyone is talking about in the video above.

Organic is in. Green is in. However you want to phrase it, it is in. It is also a very important part of the wine industry. Organic wines are not only more wholesome, but they actually taste cleaner. The whole process is organic. From the dirt to the bottle. The wines produced from Snoqualmie Winery are phenomenal wines from Washington State. Crisp, clean and refreshing.
Snoqualmie Eco Cabernet Sauvignon Grown 100% organically, this Cabernet is a combination of 75% Cab and 25% Merlot. The body is not what you might expect when opening a Cabernet. It is much lighter than your typical Cabs, but that is not a bad thing. Unless you only drink heavy leathery Cabs…. This is the perfect wine for folks who want a smoother cab option to pair with their juicy meat or heavy pasta dish. Aromas of cherries linger, while cherry, and dark berries consume the palate. Spice lingers on the palate. If you stray away from Cabs because they just seem to be too BIG for you, give this elegant smooth Cab a try.
Snoqualmie Columbia Valley Whistle Stop Red Blend 2010 is another Cab Sauvignon and Merlot blend. Except this time it's 70% Cab to 30% Merlot. A Bordeaux style blend, this wine really highlights the two grapes that are blended. Berry aromas with herbs and slight cherry on the nose are a nice "Hello" when sniffing this wine. Black fruit and sweet oak greet your palate. Medium in body, but full in flavor, this wine is sure to please your palate. The freshness can certainly be detected when savoring this wine. Dare you to not finish it in one night.
Locations in Arlington to purchase wine:
The Liberty Tavern
Grand Cru Wine Store
As always wine can be purchased on the Snoqualmie site. Suggested retail price for both wine is $10

College Hockey:Bemidji State Stays Tied For CHA Lead
Wild Third Features 38 Total Penalty Minutes
BEMIDJI, Minn. — Bemidji State kept pace with Wayne State, retaining a share of first place in College Hockey America with a 5-1 win over the Air Force Falcons Friday at John Glas Fieldhouse.
The teams played a fast-paced, hard-hitting game and kept the crowd of 1,110 in the game from start to finish. BSU drew first blood just 2:29 into the contest as Riley Riddell and Jared Hanowski found Wade Chiodo for his sixth goal of the season to put BSU up, 1-0.
The Beavers barely had time to celebrate their early lead, as Air Force knotted the score at a goal apiece just 1:13 later. Kyle Fransdal's fifth goal of the season, with assists from Justin Hamilton and Ryan Wiggins, got the Falcons right back into the game.
From there, however, it was all BSU. The Beavers scored the game's next four goals and limit the Falcons to just 20 shots for the game — including a dominant defensive effort in the third period in which BSU surrendered just three shots on net.
The teams took the 1-1 tie into the second period, but true freshman Andrew Murray picked up his 14th goal of the season and the eventual game-winner just 2:51 into the frame. Marty Goulet scored the first of his two goals on the night at 12:32 of the second to put BSU ahead 3-1, then scored again 5:05 into the third.
At 12:20 of the third, BSU's Frank Udovich and Air Force's Josh Priewe had words on the ice and had to be separated by the officials; both were sent to the box for unsportsmanlike conduct. Immediately after both players were released from the box two minutes later, they stripped off helmets and gloves and fought at center ice for nearly a minute before the officials finally broke them up and sent them off the ice with five-minute fighting majors and game disqualifications.
Two minutes after the game resumed following the fight, Jared Hanowski iced the win for BSU with an unassisted goal, his fourth of the season, to put BSU ahead by the game's final 5-1 margin.
"We played an outstanding game and put 60 minutes together," BSU head coach Tom Serratore said. "The power play was clicking and our five-on-five possession was outstanding. We played well defensively and hopefully we can carry this into tomorrow night."
BSU goaltender Grady Hunt saved 19 of 20 shots to pick up his 11th victory of the year. He remains undefeated against College Hockey America foes at 8-0-2. In his last 14 starts against the CHA, dating back to last season, Hunt is 10-1-3. Mike Polidor started in net for Air Force; he saved 32 shots and fell to 9-12-0 on the year.
"It was a big win," Goulet said. "We played well and felt like we dominated. We need to play hard again tomorrow and keep it going if we want to win the conference."
Jeff McGill set a season high with three assists; Goulet tied his career high with two goals, and Murray tied his career high with two assists.
BSU improved to 7-5-1 all-time against Air Force with the win; the Beavers have won each of the last two games in the series. The five goals scored by BSU mark its highest single-game output since also scoring five goals in a 5-4 overtime win in the CHA Tournament on March 12, 2000. The win is also the second for BSU head coach Tom Serratore over his older brother, Frank Serratore, the head coach of the Falcons.
Bemidji State improved to 12-12-3 overall, its first time at .500 for the season since Dec. 1 when it stood 6-6-2, and remains tied for first place in College Hockey America with 20 points (8-2-2). Air Force dropped to 11-16-0 overall and 1-10-0 in CHA play. The Beavers and Falcons wrap up their two-game series tomorrow evening. Opening faceoff from John Glas Fieldhouse is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. Central time.

What's True About the Flu?
Flu Myth #1: The seasonal flu is annoying, but harmless
It's important to remember that the run-of-the-mill seasonal flu is not just a bad cold. For one, you usually feel terrible. In addition to the congestion and cough, you're apt to have nasty body aches and fever. Aside from the short-term misery and lost workdays, flu can have more serious implications. Sure, most people who get the seasonal flu recover just fine. But the seasonal flu also hospitalizes 200,000 people in the U.S. each year. It kills between 3,000 and 49,000 people. That's close to the number of women killed by breast cancer each year, and more than twice the number of people killed by AIDS.
Flu Myth #2: The flu vaccine can give you the flu
It's impossible for the flu vaccine can give you the flu. First, a flu shot only contains a dead virus, which can't infect you. There is one type of live virus flu nasal vaccine called FluMist, which is specially made to remove the parts of the virus that make people sick.
Flu Myth #3: Antibiotics can fight the flu
Antibiotics only fight bacterial infections. Flu -- whether it's typical seasonal flu or swine flu -- is caused by a virus, not a bacteria, so antibiotics have no effect on any kind of flu.
Flu Myth #4: You can skip years between flu vaccinations
Many people don't understand that we need a new seasonal flu vaccine every year.The reason is that there are different strains of flu that can change every year. So every single year, researchers develop a new vaccine.
Flu Myth #5: If you're young and healthy, you don't need to worry about getting the vaccine
It's true that the people most likely to become seriously ill or die from the seasonal flu are over age 65. But flu can become risky for anyone, even healthy young adults.Chances are that if you're in good health, you'll probably recover from the seasonal flu just fine, but it's still best to avoid getting the flu because protecting yourself isn't the only reason to get vaccinated. There are people with weaker defenses, like children under 6 months who can't get the flu vaccine, or people over 65 who are a higher risk for complications from the flu, who depend on others to get vaccinated.
Flu Myth #6: "Stomach flu" is a form of influenza
The word "flu" is so overused that it's lost much of its real meaning. Gastrointestinal viruses are called the "stomach flu," and they have no connection to the actual influenza (flu) virus. If you have vomiting and diarrhea, but no fever or body ache, you probably don't have the flu.
Flu Myth #7: Vaccines are dangerous
There are many people who do not trust vaccines, including the flu vaccine. Some believe that there could be a link between vaccines and certain developmental disorders in children, like autism. However, there is no evidence that vaccines cause autism, and in fact experts say that vaccines are the greatest medical advance in history. Vaccines have prevented more illness and death than any treatment.
Flu Myth #8: If you don't get a seasonal flu vaccine by November, there's no point in getting vaccinated
While there were times when vaccine supplies ran out by November, that's not the case now. There is enough vaccine for anyone who wants it. It's a good idea to get vaccinated as early in the flu season as possible. But the important thing is to get vaccinated, even as late as December or January since the the flu often doesn't peak until February or sometimes as late as March.

This story can be filed under the "strange and unusual" crimes, but those potentially committing the misconduct may surprise you. Undercover officers in Hawaii are granted legal immunity from prostitution laws in order to have intercourse with hookers – assuming it's "required" as part of their covert investigation.
According to a report from The Associated Press on Thursday, as carried on MSN News, police officers in Honolulu "have urged lawmakers to keep an exemption in state law that allows undercover officers to have sex with prostitutes during investigations, touching off a heated debate over the provision."
Call it a "get out of the seedy hotel free" card.
Legislators in Hawaii initially did away with the bizarre provision when they revisited laws attempting to crack down on pimps and johns.
But Honolulu police officers stepped forward and argued the exemption must remain. The revised proposal will be presented to the state Senate committee today.
Honolulu Police Maj. Jerry Inouye told the House Judiciary Committee why officers must be allowed to have sex while working – even if they do not actually engage in relations with the women (or men).
"The procedures and conduct of the undercover officers are regulated by department rules, which by nature have to be confidential," Inouye said. "Because if prostitution suspects, pimps and other people are privy to that information, they're going to know exactly how far the undercover officer can and cannot go."
In others words, suspects would instantly know who is undercover if the officers are procedurally prohibited from "starting" the act which constitutes the crime.
Derek Marsh, who trains police officers on human trafficking cases and who has twice been called before Congress as a subject matter expert on sex crimes, called the law "antiquated at best," and said that police can easily do their jobs without it.
"It doesn't help your case, and at worst you further traumatize someone. And do you think he or she is going to trust a cop again?" asked Marsh, adding that it's an invitation for misconduct.

My name is Rucas and I am scared of Dead Space NO MORE. I am an undergraduate Biology student who, while slaving through my hardcore genetics, organic chemistry etc. courses, get these impulsive and irresistibly strong urges to draw (usually fanart, Link, tits, and often at the most inconvenient of times such as the night before an exam). However, those are far and few in between hence why my gallery has been a little thin over my recent undergraduate years.
But no matter. I know I will continue to draw draw draw until the day I die.
...or until the day I get arthritis.

text: Here has been a boost to horse racing among older horses as Tattersalls have agreed to continue their support of the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup at The Curragh Racecourse until 2009. The new three year sponsorship commitment will also increase the total prize money for the Group 1 race to be increased to 300,000 euro from 2007. This is bound to ensure that the Gold Cup continues to attract the very best horses in Europe to the Curragh. The 10 furlongs contest is considered as one of the top middle distances in the international racing calendar and attracts many of Europe's top older horses every year. It is among the highest rated races in the world.

Ron Finley plants vegetable gardens in South Central LA -- in abandoned lots, traffic medians, along the curbs. Why? For fun, for defiance, for beauty and to offer some alternative to fast food in a community where "the drive-thrus are killing more people than the drive-bys."
Artist and designer Ron Finley couldn't help but notice what was going on in his backyard. "South Central Los Angeles," he quips, "home of the drive-thru and the drive-by.Funny thing is, the drive-thrus are killing more people than the drive-bys." And it's the drive-thru fast-food stands that contribute more to the area's poor health and high mortality rate, with one in two kids contracting a curable disease like Type 2 diabetes.
Finley's vision for a healthy, accessible "food forest" started with the curbside veggie garden he planted in the strip of dirt in front of his own house. When the city tried to shut it down, Finley's fight gave voice to a larger movement that provides nourishment, empowerment, education -- and healthy, hopeful futures -- one urban garden at a time.
"Gardening is the most therapeutic and defiant act you can do, especially in the inner city. Plus, you get strawberries."

Huffington Post
It seems that the Saints' dramatic defensive turnaround under first-year defensive coordinator Rob Ryan is gaining the attention and praise for the team's 3-0 start.
Despite promises to the contrary, Adam Schefter and Ed Werder are reporting coach Greg Schiano has decided to bench quarterback Josh Freeman in favor of rookie Mike Glennon.
Tampa Tribune
The decision to bench Josh Freeman came after a meeting Tuesday involving head coach Greg Schiano, general manager Mark Dominik and at least one member of the ownership family, the staff is reporting through sources.
The reasons for the Falcons stunning 1-2 start are multiple beginning with the ankle injury to Roddy White that has caused a ripple affect for the offense, then there is the Julio Jones trade that depleted quality depth and you can't leave out the injury to recently acquired running back Steven Jackson among other starters. But even with all of that, the Falcons could easily be 3-0 if not for a couple of late breakdowns in losses to New Orleans and Miami.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Defensive coordinator Mike Nolan tells beat writer D. Orlando Ledbetter that it was often just one player not doing what he was supposed to do that allowed Miami to go on a 13-play, 75-yard game-winning drive that resulted in the 27-23 loss on Sunday.
Charlotte Observer
Quarterback Cam Newton's running ability is what ignited the Panthers' offense during their 38-0 win over the New York Giants, beat reporter Joseph Person writes.
Running back DeAngelo Williams credits the departure of offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski to Cleveland as the reason for his strong start this season, David Newton reports.

Netanyahu Pledges to Beef Up Security at Patriarchs' Cave in HebronSunday, September 6th, 2015
Israel will do its "utmost so that Jews will be able to go everywhere safely, especially to the Tomb of the Patriarchs," Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told the Cabinet Sunday.
Tens of thousands of Jews visit the site, known, in Hebrew as Ma'arat HaMachpelah, for Slichot prayers between Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur.
It is the burial site of the forefathers Avraham, Isaac (Yitzchak) and Jacob as well as Sarah, Rebecca (Rivkah) and Leah. Rachel, Yaakov's second wife, is buried at Rachel's Tomb (Kever Rachel), which also attracts tens of thousands of people between the two High Holidays.
The Patriarch's Cave also is the traditional burial place of Adam and Eve.
Palestinian Authority terrorists have escalated attacks at the two sites in recent months.Jewish Press News Briefs

Steven Scott Fleming was arrested Sunday afternoon and faces aggravated animal cruelty charges for allegedly stabbing his dog three times and then beating the American boxer and Labrador retriever mix with a baseball bat at his home on the 1100 block of Northeast 13th Street in Ocala, Fla. reported the Ocala.com.
According to the police report, Fleming was first spotted beating at the front door and breaking a window. Inside of the home, neighbors heard screaming, and when they went over to investigate, the bloodied dog named Molly had just fled the house. Neighbors screamed at Fleming to leave the dog alone and let her go.
When authorities pulled up, Fleming attempted to climb the fence to escape, and was arrested at the scene.
An investigation inside of the house revealed bloody drag marks, blood splattered along the floors and walls, and a broken and bloodied baseball bat.
Ocala Police officials credit the neighbors with saving the dog's life. None of the neighbors attempted to engage Fleming in a showdown, however their yelling and screaming at him to leave Molly alone may have saved her life.
Molly is recovering at Marion County Animal Services and is expected to survive. One of the stab wounds penetrated Molly's sinus cavities.
Fleming is being held without bond at the Marion County Jail. Records indicated previous, unrelated arrests. This time he has been charged with felony animal cruelty, resisting arrest without incident, and violating his parole.

Strode News
- 11/06/12 - Strode College Festival of the Arts
Strode College's Festival of the Arts, which runs from Tuesday 19 June to Friday 22 June, will celebrate the achievements and hard work of its creative and performing arts students before they move on to university and employment. Arts, design, film, music, dance and drama events will be presented during the week at the college and at Strode Theatre.
Productions at Strode Theatre will raise funds for college educational activities with contributions made to the Strode Theatre Support Fund.
Decasia: The State of Decay - film with live music soundtrack
Tuesday 19 June, 7.30pm at Strode Theatre. Tickets: £6, full concession £5, Strode students £4.
New York-based filmmaker Bill Morrison spent two years scouring film archives to create 'Decasia', a haunting, 70 minute tapestry of decaying, nitrate-based footage. The hypnotic images will be accompanied by a live soundtrack composed and performed by Strode's music technology students using a combination of software, hardware, instruments and improvisation to create a compelling audio-visual experience.
End of Year Arts, Design and Media Show
Tuesday 19 June-Friday 22 June, 9.15am-4.30pm, at Strode College and Strode Theatre. Also open 6-8pm on Wednesday 20 June, during the College's Information Evening for Higher Education and Apprenticeships. Free entry.
Strode creative arts and media students are known for producing some excellent and innovative work. The show will feature work from 150 students completing arts courses this summer including sculpture, textiles, photography, painting and drawing, graphics, film and video. This is a great opportunity to take a look at some young and exciting creative talent and to see the diversity and quality of work achieved at Strode.
Maps showing where the works are displayed around college will be available from reception.
The House of Bernard Alba and Bed - Drama
Thursday 21 June, Strode Theatre 7:30pm. Tickets: £6, full concession £5, Strode students £4. Tickets include 50p contribution to Strode Theatre Support Fund.
Strode College's second year Performing Arts students present a double bill of two contrasting plays. First up is 'The House of Bernard Alba' by Federico Garcia Lorca, with an all-female cast, live music and choreography. Set in the Spanish Civil War, Bernard Alba rules over her four daughters with an iron grip, but will they conform to their traditional Catholic upbringing?
The second show is 'Bed' by Jim Cartwright, performed by a group of eight male students. A group of old people talk about their past and present, conjuring up a surreal world with moments of humour, tenderness and tragedy.
This production is dedicated to the memory of Katy Kouzmitchenko who was studying Performing Arts at Strode College when she died in May 2012.
Dance Showcase
Friday 22 June, 7.30pm Strode Theatre. Tickets: £6, full concession £5, students £4. Tickets include 50p contribution to Strode Theatre Support Fund.
Strode College dance students will be showcasing some of their best performance work at Strode Theatre, including contemporary dance, street dance, musical theatre and tap.

EnergyUnited refunds $3 million to members via capital credits
Published: Tuesday, December 3, 2013 at 9:48 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 3, 2013 at 9:48 a.m.
STATESVILLE | EnergyUnited is refunding $3 million in capital credits to its members throughout its 19-county service area during the month of December.
Every customer who receives electricity from EnergyUnited is a member-owner of the cooperative. Members receive a share of the margins according to how much they paid the cooperative over a certain time period.
The retirement of capital credits — so-called because members provide capital to the cooperative for it to operate and expand — depends on the co-op's financial status. EnergyUnited holds on to allocated capital credits to cover emergencies, such as a natural disaster, and other unexpected events, and to expand and refurbish its electric system. This action decreases the need to raise rates or borrow money to pay for the infrastructure. After a number of years, if financial conditions permit, EnergyUnited may decide to retire a set amount of capital credits.
âAllocating and retiring excess revenue to members helps distinguish cooperatives, points out H. Wayne Wilkins, CEO of EnergyUnited. "We're proud to support our communities by putting money back into the local economy — and into the pockets of those we serve. It makes our business model special."
The $3 million in capital credits this year will be allocated and refunded to members who received electric service in 2011 and 2012 from EnergyUnited and in 1986 and 1987 from either Crescent Electric Membership Corporation or Davidson EMC, which consolidated to form EnergyUnited in 1998.
For more information, call (800) 522-3793 or visit www.energyunited.com.

The first space walk Expedition Four crew's five-month tour of duty began at 2:59 p.m. CST and ended at 9:02 p.m. CST, lasting a total of 6 hours, 3 minutes. Monday's spacewalk was the thirty-second in support of space station assembly, the seventh such excursion conducted from the station itself, and the sixth based out of the station's Russian segment. The total amount of time spent on space station-based spacewalks now stands at 29 hours, 04 minutes, and the total spacewalking time spent on station construction at 196 hours, 19 minutes.
After exiting the station from the Russian Pirs docking compartment, Onufrienko and Walz assembled an extension for a Russian cargo boom that had been previously installed on Pirs. They used the operational cargo crane, called Strela 1 (Strela is the Russian word for arrow), to get into position to detach and relocate a similar crane temporarily stored on the outside of the Unity-to-Zarya connecting tunnel. Known as Strela 2, this second crane was moved back alongside Pirs and attached to a base point on the opposite side of the docking compartment and airlock at 6:31 p.m. CST.
The first piece of Strela 2 had been delivered and installed in May 1999, and the second piece in May 2000. On future spacewalks, the two cranes may be used to maneuver equipment and spacewalkers.
Onufrienko and Walz also installed an amateur radio antenna on a handrail at the end of the Zvezda service module. The antenna is one of four that eventually will allow space station crew members to make "ham" radio contacts from the comfort of their living quarters inside Zvezda. Currently, the amateur radio station is inside the Zarya module.
The next spacewalk of the expedition - to be conducted by Onufrienko and Bursch - is targeted for Jan. 25. The plan for this spacewalk currently includes installation of the remaining three amateur radio antennae and thruster deflector shields on the end of Zvezda.

BG: my ILs are mildly boundary stomping and insensitive to the realities of having a two-working parent household. They live three hours from us. We live in the same town as BIL, SIL, and their two girls (DH's brother and his family). We moved here six years ago after getting married.
During the first year we were here, SIL was due with DN the Monday of Thanksgiving week. She was hosting the holiday and, as usual, had invited several members of her family and my DH's family. DH and I planned to do Thanksgiving in our hometown with my parents SIL emailed me and said she was going to "shift" some people over to our house over the holiday. I told her we wouldn't be home, and she responded that she knew that but planned to have PILs sleep at our place because she didn't have enough room. I politely said I'm not comfortable with people staying at my house while I'm not home, so we will not be allowing that.
Within 20 min, DH gets a call from BIL , who expresses his shock that we're not willing to help them out, especially with the baby due. DH knew I was declining the request but didn't know details. Eventually SIL and I end up on the phone, and she's complaining that we won't allow this because she " was raised that you do anything for family." I finally cave and say that because she is being induced the Tuesday of Thanksgiing week, I'll allow it this one time. I made clear to her and ILs that this would never happen again, which it hasn't.
FF to this year. For the last five years, Thanksgivjng has been in our hometown where my family, PILs, and and SIL's family live. It's perfect because we can do dinner with both families. Well, SIL and her family decide, without consulting anyone, that they are hosting Thanksgiving this year. Fine-we're still going to hometown because we'd already committed to going. We told everyone that we'd be in hometown Wed night through Fri night and that we would then spend Saturday with the ILs. Sunday would be to ourselves.
I get this email from FIL last night, addressed to DH and me:
Trust you are all well and that LO has settled into his new daycare.
A favor to ask of you: BIL and SIL are going to have a house full of visitors for Thanksgiving so mum and I were wondering if we could stay in your spare bedroom while we are down there? We would come in on Wednesday, and leave on Sunday afternoon as normal. We are planning to spend time with BIL and the gang on Thursday and Friday, and with you guys on Saturday and Sunday if that still works out for you.
Thanks and all our love,
DH and I had discussed the possibility of this request, and he knows that I'm not comfortable with it. Thanks to this board, he knows the "two yes, one no" rule. But he's very nonconfrontational.
Am I being unreasonable in refusing to let PILs not use my house as a hotel while we're not home? And suggestions as to how DH should respond when saying no? TIA.
ILs staying at house while we're not there-UD p 4, 5, FM UP 8
I wish you luck OP.
My Dh's family is also of the mindset that if the house it there then they are welcome to stay. I've even witnessed them planning a trip to another city when they KNOW the relative is scheduled to be out of town, just so they will be able to stay in their home. I've told them all that it's rude to ask to stay in someone's home (barring an emergency) but they just shrug their shoulders and ask anyway. And people let them.
DH emailed FIL back this morning. Here is what we wrote (copied me):
Hi Dad,
I am sorry but we no longer want people staying at our house when we are not going to be there.
We are planning to come back to Indy Friday night and spend all day with you guys on Saturday. We are going to take Sunday to ourselves to get things back to normal and prepare for the week ahead.
Look forward to seeing you guys!
I think it's not bad. He did this all on his own. We'll wait for the response ... I'm okay with still seeing them Saturday as originally planned so long as they don't throw a fit over this.
My IL would totally snoop through everything. I would be totally uncomfortable with it.
Good luck.
I think that's a great email. Awesome job, DH.
"There are flowers in the garbage... and a skull under your curls."
Email looks good. Short, to the point, and no real room for argument.
Yeah, you kinda opened yourself up to this nonsense when you caved in the first time. SIL now sees your home as an extension of hers. That's simply not acceptable. Look for SIL to up the bully antics.
If you're gonna be dumb, then you'd better be tough.
The only power your MIL has over you is the power you give to her. So, you don't give her any.

It was great to find Daniel Benton, Assistant Winemaker for Croze Wines, pouring their 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon between the long rows full of wine selections at the High Museum Atlanta Wine Auction. Croze is one of two labels from Winemaker Gary Wooton, he has over 28 years of wine making experience over his shoulders and built a reputation for high quality, small production wines. Gary's winemaking philosophy is focused on balance, wines that stand out from the crowd.
Gary started Croze Winery in 1997, with his first vintage of 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon. Since then under the Croze label he added Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé, Cabernet Sauvignon fortified wine and in optimal vintages a Vintner's Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. Under the Smith Wooton label he also produce: Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah.
"At Croze we follow classic European traditions to make our premium wines. As boutique, fine wine craftsmen we embrace the rich diversity of California's most prestigious wine growing appellations. We recognize the age old tradition of terrior and only source grapes from optimal sites where families take the same care in growing wine as we do in making it."
2005 Croze Cabernet Sauvignon: 100% of the grapes for this wine came from DeConinck vineyard. This well balanced Cabernet shows aromas of red flowers, ripe dark berries, cassis, worn leather and fresh ground pepper. On the palate you can enjoy layers of plum, red currant, tobacco and spice with beautiful earthy notes. Medium to full-bodied Cabernet with noticeable silky tannins and medium to long dry finish. Experience this wine paired with aged blue cheese (Camembert or Gorgonzola), beef stew, rosemary roasted duck, grilled lamb, bison burgers and bitter/sweet dark chocolate (69% cocoa or over).
In Atlanta Croze wines are distributed by Big Boat Wines owned by Liza Allen, they represent small production boutique wineries that put emphasis on high quality. You can purchase Croze wines at your favorite specialty wine store like, The Wine Cellars, Niko's Wine Corner, Perrine's Wine, All Y' alls Wines, J's Beverage Depot, Ansley Wine Merchants, Halls of Fine Wines, Sherlock's Wine, Mac's Beer and Wine, Decatur Wine and Spirits, HopCity Craft Beer and Wine, Tower Wine and Spirits and Green's.
