"I do believe that it's important for anyone who is considering adoption to understand that they are not bringing a single child into their life -- they are bringing an entire family. That's just a fact. The old adoption model, and even many current adoption arrangements, try to ignore this reality, but ignoring doesn't work. Even if the adoptive family has no contact with the biological family and rarely discusses them other than in vague, almost mythological ways (such as the 'your birth mother was someone who loved you very much' story), that family, and especially the birth mother, is still there, fully present in the child's psyche. They may exist primarily as an absence, as a longing (spoken or unspoken), but they are still there."
I'd like to to expand on that a bit today. For adoptive parents, the choice between closed, semi-open, and fully open adoption isn't really a choice between having the biological family in your life or not. The first family is a part of your life regardless because they are a part of your child; the question for adoptive parents is: "How are you going to respond to this reality?"
I really appreciated the many thoughtful comments I got last week in response to my Attuned Adoptive Parent post, and I especially liked the following words from Martha Crawford, LCSW:
"Even when families are forrmed through international adoption - emotional openness to the first families: ie listening to children's wishes to search, supporting that process when it feels age appropriate, inviting your child to communicate about their first parents and then accepting whatever feelings or language emerge, offering acceptance and support with out fear or defensiveness - this to me, is the primary sacred task of being an 'adoptive' parent."
I love her phrase "emotional openness to the first families," and I believe it represents a key factor. If an adoption is nominally open on paper but the parents are not emotionally open to the biological family, the openness of the adoption is likely to be perceived as a burden rather than a gift and is much less likely to succeed in the long term. This lack of emotional openness is detrimental to the relationship between the adoptive parents and the biological family, and, sadly, it is ultimately detrimental to the relationship between the adoptive parents and the adopted child. By contrast, there may be situations where circumstances preclude regular contact with the biological family but the adoptive parents are emotionally open and therefore able to hold space for the child's experience, whatever it may be. In such situations, the adoptive parents communicate acceptance to the child and able to help facilitate his or her growth and healing.
Some adoptive parents (including my own) like to say that adoptive families are no different than other families; they are just formed in a different way. This well-intentioned sentiment is meant to communicate that adoptive parents love their children as much as if they had given birth to them. As an adoptive (and biological) mother I can attest that this is true; I love my two daughters with equal intensity, though my relationship is different with each of them, just as it would be different if I had two biological children. But being an adoptive parent is not the same as being a biological parent. It is different because something more is asked of us, the "sacred task" that Marth Crawford mentions above. The adoptive parent is asked to open his or her heart to something more than just an individual, separate child. Loving and accepting an adopted child means loving and accepting all that the child is and holds within them, including the unbreakable thread that binds them to another family.

NOLANVILLE — Council members voted to adopt the fiscal year 2013-2014 budget and set the ad valorem tax rate Sept. 19.
The total property tax rate will decrease from 51.9 cents to the effective tax rate of 51.1 cents per $100 valuation for fiscal year 2013-2014.
"We had several meetings and public hearings about the budget so I was confident it would be adopted," City Manager Stephen Pearl said. "We really need to continue to stretch our dollars to provide the best services we can for our citizens."
The budget will raise more total property taxes than last year's budget by $12,521 or 1.61 percent. Of that amount, $38,968 is tax revenue to be raised from new property added to the tax roll this year, Pearl said.
"The increase in expenses is necessary to protect the quality of life issues of the Nolanville citizens, maintain the necessary day to day maintenance and operations of the city and to continue the growth and beautification of the city," Pearl said.
The city's general fund receives revenue from several sources, with the top three being property tax, franchise fees and sales tax. The 2013-2014 annual budget anticipates revenues to be $65,164 more than last year's budget, giving a balance of $1,073,020 in total general fund revenue.
Planned project
Among planned projects, Pearl said the city has added $8,000 to the Public Works Department's budget in the professional services category to work towards demolishing some of the substandard structures in the city.
"This has become a health and safety concern for neighbors and it's becoming a nuisance," Pearl said.
The council also voted to appoint seven members to an Economic Development Corporation Board.
This is the first time the city has established an EDC.
"Our goal is to continue to bring business opportunities into Nolanville," Peal said.
"This will be a learning experience for all of us, but once the board gets up and running, it will be a great tool for the community."

Transform your dwelling or another building into a castle of corn. Promote your new attraction. It is strongly suggested you keep a guestbook of visitors. This might be a perfect complement to Tourist Dinner, and perhaps they can eat some of the castle.

The trap is set! Obamacare creates impossible demands on the insurance companies and doctors. They set up a scheme they know will only drive costs up and access down. The trap is set! The group Doctors for America, which advocates for affordable health coverage for all, released a statement Wednesday pinning the blame for inadequate networks on health plans. "The bottom line: insurance companies are responsible for the networks of providers in their plans. Insurers are required to provide a list of their networks for the new marketplace, which many insurance companies have not yet done," Executive Director Alice Chen said. "We encourage insurance companies to help Americans in this time of great change by moving quickly to publish those lists, and ensuring they meet the needs of the people they serve." You just read a quote from Doctors for America which works closely with Obama and advocates for a single payer. This is the goal all along and follows Obamas script to perfection, Make demands that are unreasonable and can not work. Make it seem like everyone agrees. Demagogue anyone who disagrees. Shift blame in the media to everyone else, this time to insurers and doctors. The trap is there and so easy to see if you just take the blinders off and realize what is happening..
Paul Gettinger MD
We have no one to blame but the AMA for selling out the doctors they claim to represent. But they have not represented me for years because of their liberal ideology..
Dr. H S
What a surprise. Good luck America. We deserve this debacle..
Here's how you let them know you don't like the changes: Take your Medicare 'government funded' post-graduate education into another industry. Say thank you for providing me the publicly-funded tools to succeed in another job and walk out. It's a beautiful thing..
Non-Kool-Aid Drinker M.D.
We should have seen this coming. Our so-called "Advocates" have been working against us and our patients for awhile, now.We were too busy and preoccupied with caring for our patients and keeping up with our studies. Now, the Obama acolytes and zealots are openly going after docs as, "coddled, spoiled, and overpaid". We have become political footballs....more and more devalued, and less and less appreciated. I agree with Justadoc....These "Political animals" won't appreciate what they've got until we are gone. Shame on them!.
Shame on us...we have allowed it to happen. When patients became customers and out jobs became about customer satisfaction, the slippery slope began. The government began to regulate docs out of private and small practice so that they become employees...No doubt out services are desirable...but they are wanted for free!! If you don't do surgery or something "special", your cognitive work just becomes goodwill. Of course we will Do it because we care...And they have taken advantage and buried primary care wide and deep...They allowed us to pay for it and take on the risk and then STEAL our services in the face of the greater good! Why aren't ANY other professions being evaluated the same Way? Lawyers can charge by the minute,..not for the quality of service! But take heart. This will only last so long. Brilliant Medical Students will take their skills into another professionals will RUN AWAY from medicine. There won't be anyone in medicine who is qualified...Health care will be run by cheaper nurses and FMG's (god bless them but most can't connect with their patients...can't be understood well,..and that defers questions)... And then all will get what they asked for,..not what they deserve. But we must come to a point where we recognize respectfully the investment of time and money and experience and stop making docs feel like they don't deserve a decent income. The waste in medicine is Not at the level of my office...where Iook into the eyes of the patient and listen...and My brain works and pulls out past experience and knowledge and instinct to help the patient... But we...and out patients...are low hanging fruit... And soon there will be little left...America Will be socialized...and have no Choice anymore. That MRI will be in 6 mos.,.more or less... Sorry everyone... Your doctor is not in... You think Obama isn't bent on destroying this country? He's selling out to Iran as we type,..and more...and more... Jump in!.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
This was a sale of business in June 2011. The business was a dance studio. I sold my business of 5 years (been in the business for 25 years) to who I thought was a friend of mine. My husband was being transfered out of state for his job. After the sale was complete, my husbands transfer fell through and we were forced to move back home. This person I sold my dance studio to is enforcing the non compete we signed and will not budge. The terms are 5 years and/or a 50 mile radius. It has been 2 years since the non compete was signed. I now have the opportunity to work for a local dance studio as an employee. Will NYS uphold the noncompete terms even after 2 years? Is the 5 years/50 mile radius terms unreasonable?I have been a dance instructor for over 30 years. It is my livelihood, which this non compete has taken away. I have no college degree, as dance instruction is all I have ever done to support myself and family. Having been unsuccessful in finding a job outside of dancing, my family had to file for bankruptcy in 2012.
Like most states the term must be reasonable and such is based on a case-by-case basis--but with the sale of a business they are not to keen on breaking the bargain struck between the buyer/seller--as it is not like you were an executive or other occupations that generally received no consideration for the non compete.
That said, a NY atty will be able to give you more info.

There are never any guarantees, but since you sold the good will at the same time that you sold your business, a court more likely than not would enforce the agreement. Ordinarily 5 year agreements are considered too long, but when you sell a business, you are covenanting not to solicit clients, and therefore courts are more apt to enforce figuring it is a negotiated term. The 50 mile radius would likely be found to be reasonable even if you did not sell the business.

Ripoff Report
Sandy Hill Stables6417 Gilbertville Rd. LaPorte City, Iowa USA
Sandy Hill Stables Strangles Outbreak! Beware! LaPorte City Iowa
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I began this unpleasant journey by bringing my healthy, two year old quarter horse to Sandy Hill Stales. They were the only barn in the area with immediate openings available. We arrived after dark and put my horse in a stall overnight. I offered to have Tom look at my coggins and shot records, but he wasn't interested. We then immediately signed a hand written contract exempting the farm from sickness liabilities, which they didn't sign themselves, but continued to tell us that THEY'VE been taken advantage of before. I was then told my horse would be turned out in the morning, which was not the case. I got there the next day at 3pm and my horse was still in a stall. Odd, I thought, but I then decided to hand walk him to get him used to his new surroundings.
We started with the "indoor" arena, which is too small to even lunge a horse in, much less ride. Then worked our way to the outdoor arena, which was acceptable and adjacent to the main turnout pen. Through the gate I could see that the horses in the pen were all standing in about 8 inches of mud. It was very clear that there were just too many (about 10) in a pasture about half the size of a football field. Anyways, I then walked my horse around the inside of the paddock where the herd was. My boots kept getting stuck in the thick mud, I pulled up numerous clumps of dangerous hay netting, and even found the scapula and cannon/splint bone of an old horse put down in the field and left to rot. Yuck. The horses themsevles weren't in the best condition but I had no other option at that point but to accept this as his new home until an opening at another barn popped up.
The next day I wen't out to visit and took a closer look at some of the horses. One of them, a chestnut with a blaze, had streams of snot running down her nose, I simply panicked. All of the horses in there share one round bale of hay and a contaminated water trough. I immeidately began looking for other barns, but it was too little too late for my boy. A week of searching for new places brought on new information about Sandy Hill though, I started hearing rumors about the barn having Strangles, sharing livestock trailers with pigs without cleanings, selling tranquilized horses without coggins papers, and improperly euthanizing animals on the property. Needless to say, we managed to escape after two weeks of exposure, and then the symptoms began. The rumors were true.
His new barn had him quaranteened to a clean stall, and after a few days, I called the Hudson vet to come check him out, he was coughing, lethargic, snotty, had a low grade temp, and rock hard retropharyngeal lymphnodes. He has Strangles :( So after I paid the $120.00 vet bill, we quaranteened him even further away from civilization and bleached everything he touched. After he feels better we have to take him to the university vet clinic in Ames,IA and have a $500.00 dollar scoping procedure done in order to make sure he is not a carrier of the sickness like some horses can be. Without a negative culture, my future barrel horse will be forever ruined and isolated.
Please don't bring your horses here. If you buy one from these guys, have it tested so you don't spread sickness to another unsuspecting herd. The Sheriff's department and Animal Control have been notified.
I'm dissapointed in you Tom, a herd of horses is not a used car lot.

Selling druged horses
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, August 07, 2013POSTED: Wednesday, August 07, 2013
I bought a horse from them. She's was drugged. She was very dangerous, well trained but so temperamental that she bucked and reared so much that she threw one person into a fence and luckily she never tossed me off but she would rear up on a lead rope, she tried to jump through a heavy duty fence. Bent it up. She was sweet some moments and violent others. Tom and JJ where supposed to sell us a trailer and also trade out horses but never did. They disappeared with our money and we gave away the horse. We totally lost out. The are wicked men! JJ lied on the receipt too... Which I didnt see till after the transaction. verbally on the phone he gave us a complete GUARANTEE. These guys don't give information in txt form on purpose, always verbal so they can lie their way out. Horse crooks. They never gave is health records or a cert of health, no coggins or anything.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Police arrested a 30-year-old Santa Clara woman last Tuesday, Feb. 9 on charges of embezzling a few hundred dollars from the 24 Hour Fitness on California Street where she worked.
According to police reports, the woman took cash from her employer amounting to $515 over a three-week period in January. Police said she was taking cash transactions from customers, then voiding them out and pocketing the money.
They said other staffers became suspicious of the voids, and obtained security footage of her in the act. Police were notified Tuesday at approximately 4:48 p.m., and arrested her on location on charges of felony embezzlement, which applies to thefts of over $400.

Los Altos police seek suspect in July sex assault
Police in Los Altos are investigating the sexual assault of a teenage girl while she was out jogging in July 2009.
The incident occurred July 14 at about 8:30 p.m. near Parma Way and Covington Road, but the victim reported the incident only recently, Sgt. John Korges said. He said victims of sexual crimes sometimes don't come forward right away.
Citing the juvenile victim's privacy, Korges declined to give her age but said the girl is in her early teens.
The suspect is described as a man in his early 30s, about 5 feet 10 inches tall with a medium build, mustache and short black hair. He was driving a dark green Ford Explorer with a roof rack, tinted passenger windows, Firestone tires and dual exhaust pipes, and a partial license plate of 5KG according to police.
Anyone with information is asked to call police Det. Susan Anderson at (650) 947-2770.

Please Don't Shoot Me Today - Poem by Renee Marie
I'm beggin' you please
don't shoot me today.
I'm just goin' out in a usual way.
Filled up with love steppin' through the door;
I just wanna live,
I got so much more -
to give
When I turn my back -
will you attack?
Is it YOU,
Or YOU, her, him or them?
Not feelin' so right?
Too tired, too angry;
every breath is a fight?
Did you "gulp-it-up"?
Sippin' too long from the dark,
lonely cup
of rage?
They say "all the world is a stage".
Have you been played -
the WRONG song;
buying into the part where you get to decide
who lives and who dies?
Is it YOU,
or YOU, her, him or them?
Is it in your eyes -
I wish I knew for SURE
what to do
to live today
while I enter this line just to buy stamps
and my stomach greets me
with deep-worry-cramps!
So I'm beggin' you please,
wherever you are;
don't take ME there!
I work it all out with my heart -
not that you care
but I'm still hopin'-and-beggin' you please
DON'T shoot ME today!
I'm not toxic
or sly like a fox
it may seem simplistic
while you've gone ballistic!
And I still like to see birds flying south -
simple things -
and for a moment I wonder -
will your weapon of rage get crammed down my mouth?
I just want to LIVE,
I got BIG love to give -
Please don't shoot me today!

I'm writing this column per usual in Microsoft Word. What isn't typical is how I am "typing" words onto the computer: I'm dictating into a microphone.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 speech-recognition software, now owned by Nuance (NUAN), has been around for a decade. I'm testing the first version to work with Microsoft Windows Vista.
TALKING TECH: Ed Baig and Jefferson Graham look at iPod accessories
The technology has come a long way over 10 years. Early on, vocabulary was limited, and the recognition process was extremely slow. Dragon is smarter and faster nowadays: Nuance has analyzed speech-recognition data through the years. PCs boast more processing power.
The software targets consumers who have a rough time typing, including those with repetitive stress syndrome. Nuance says Dragon has a broader reach today, among home and business users looking to save time. The idea is that you can talk faster than you can type.
Nuance claims you can bark at Dragon at speeds of up to 160 words per minute. You can also use your voice to open and close other programs on your computer, along with documents and menus.
Overall, Nuance says, Dragon gets the recognition part right up to 99% of the time, making it the most accurate version ever.
The key phrase is "up to," because I didn't fare quite so well. Dragon takes getting used to and was maddening at times. Yet despite its flaws, it is hard not to walk away impressed. Dragon is fast, if imperfect, and Nuance says its adaptive software learns as you go. A closer look:
•Basics. The software comes in several editions, starting with $99 Standard and $199 Preferred versions. There's a humongous leap to the $899 Professional version I tried. And there are even pricier versions tailored to the legal and medical communities.
Each includes a microphone, the quality of which jumps up with the price. Nuance says all the mikes work fine, and recognition accuracy is the same across all editions, with the differences in price having more to do with the features that are offered.
The Pro version, for example, lets you use your voice to control Microsoft Outlook, PowerPoint, Lotus Notes and other specialized applications. You can also save recorded dictation with documents and run a series of tasks or "macros" based on what you say.
Dragon requires a Pentium-class PC and at least 512 megabytes of RAM or a full gigabyte for Vista. (Version 9 doesn't work with Macs.) I'd recommend a more robust system for better results.
•Getting started. You must create a user profile before taking a spin through the program. Dragon stores acoustic information on each user. Dragon recognizes words based on their sound and also the context in which they are used.
Though you can take a crack at using the program right out of the box, I highly recommend going through a series of tutorials and basic training exercises, which involve reading passages out loud (from JFK's inaugural address, Alice in Wonderland, etc.).
Inside an Accuracy Center (reachable from the thin DragonBar toolbar that shows up on screen), you can add words to your vocabulary, increase e-mail accuracy and go through other training. To bolster results during dictation, Dragon can also adapt to your writing style by scanning the files on your hard drive. That way, the program can better recognize the phrasing and order you often use in written communication.
•Using voice. You'll have to manually turn on the microphone using a mouse or keyboard, but from then on your voice takes charge. You can use a "natural punctuation" feature to have Dragon insert periods and commas. You'll have to say out loud "exclamation point," "question mark," etc. Biggest challenge: You think differently when you talk instead of write.
You also must remember certain commands while dictating, such as "scratch that" to erase the last thing you said or "bold that" or "cap that" to change the text. Probably the most useful phrase to remember is "what can I say?" which brings up a window of sample commands.
•So how did it do? I was impressed by Dragon's speed and the fact that it properly spelled "B-A-I-G" when I spoke my name, probably because it saw the correct spelling inside my documents.
For some reason, Dragon seemed to do better when I dictated my own stuff rather than passages from books. It sometimes misrecognized simple words: "spill" instead of "still," for example, or "it" instead of "and." Sometimes, entire words or phrases were left out.
You can correct mistakes via voice by saying "select" or "correct" the erroneous passages; Dragon brings up a menu of alternatives. If none applies, you can spell out the word you had in mind.
I'm admittedly still a voice novice, but I found it simpler to make corrections on the keyboard. And despite my best intentions, I finished this column typing with my fingers. But for people who have difficulty doing just that, it's comforting to know that your voice can get you pretty far.

I'll settle for the 6 horse
on a rainy afternoon
a paper cup of coffee
in my hand
a little way to go,
the wind twirling out
small wrens from
the upper grandstand roof,
the jocks coming out
for a middle race
and the easy rain making
at once
almost alike,
the horses at peace with
each other
before the drunken war
and I am under the grandstand
feeling for
settling for coffee,
then the horses walk by
taking their little men
it is funeral and graceful
and glad
like the opening
of flowers.

Tonight: Get the lowdown on LoDo eating at LoDo Bites
We remember when LoDo's restaurant scene was a vast wasteland beyond the Wazee Supper Club -- and the area wasn't even known as LoDo. But those days are long behind us, as evidenced by LoDo Bites, the second annual "sip, sample, stroll" event, which will send diners out into the streets of lower downtown for an orgy of eating from 5 to 8 p.m. tonight.
Restaurants/venues serving up bites include Big Game, Bistro Vendome, Chophouse, Celtic Tavern, Common Grounds, Dixons, Fadó, Gumbo's, The Keg, Lime, Mangiamo Pronto!, McCormick's Fish House, Organixx, P.F. Chang's China Bistro, Tavern Downtown, Vesta Dipping Grill, the Wine Loft, Wynkoop Brewing Company and, yes, the Wazee.
Tickets to LoDo Bites are $25 for LoDo District members, $30 in advance for the general public and $35 at the door -- but fair warning: Last year, LoDo Bites sold out.
For more info on LoDo Bites or to buy tickets, go to the LoDo District's website.

There's no rule that food in public institutions has to be terrible, somewhere between junk food hell and a boarding school nightmare. It often feels that way, though. I applaud Melbourne Zoo for providing interesting and healthy options, and for backing up its conservation aims with local produce, free-range meat and eggs, sustainable fish and ethically sourced coffee.
A DIY approach is fabulously expressed in the on-site bakery, which serves sandwiches and rolls made with its own bread, and bakes stonking sausage rolls, pies and child-friendly Vegemite scrolls and pizzas. The mini pain au chocolats are pint-sized, but they're actually for grown-ups - that's my story, anyway. You can even buy bread for home: how nice to leave the zoo with a fragrant loaf rather than a koala keyring. Bakery snacks can be taken away or eaten in the bricked plaza but, for a longer lunch, linger in the adjoining Lakeside Bistro, a dressed-up cafeteria with pleasant outdoor tables by the Japanesque lake.
At the bistro, ordering is at the counter, where tired display salads do nothing to sell the food. Luckily, the lunches are pretty good. Fresh baguette is stuffed with juicy satay chicken, piquant pineapple relish and crunchy carrot pickle. Larger dishes globetrot from barley risotto with peas and oregano salsa to stir-fried pork with egg noodles (scarily called ''Asian bolognaise'') and impressive Mauritian-style biryani with crumbed whole egg, spiced and saffron-tinged rice, and roasted carrot and cauliflower. A shot glass of tomato salsa adds fresh kick. There are heaps of vegetarian and gluten-free options, and a fabulous children's menu of house-made tzatziki, sushi, crumbed fish and suchlike.
Sometimes little people won't sit still during the seal show without the promise of an icy pole, so there are still some industrial goods at the kiosks, but it's great to try bribing children with Zoo Bakery custard brioche instead.
Liberty Catering oversees the various venues and menus (there's also Mexican food near the lions on weekends and a pan-Asian cafe by the elephants). Service across the outlets is professional, if not exactly engaging. I'm happy to roar, bark and honk my approval, though, and I'm honestly more likely to take my crew to the zoo now that I can approach lunchtime with excitement.
Rating: 3 stars (out of five)

Montero Falters Late, Offense Fizzles, 5-105/07/2013 10:18 PM ET
By Tim Heiman / Binghamton Mets
TRENTON, NJ - Binghamton Mets starter Rafael Montero cruised through six innings, but faltered late as the Trenton Thunder scored four runs in the seventh to beat the B-Mets, 5-1, in comeback fashion on Tuesday night at Arm & Hammer Park. The B-Mets collected three hits in the first two innings, but were held hitless for the final seven frames in their second straight loss.
The B-Mets packed all their offense into the first two innings against Trenton starter Jose Ramirez. Cesar Puello emphatically got the B-Mets on the board in the second inning by blasting an 0-2 pitch to left field for his second homer of the season. Puello's blast extended his hitting streak to 14 games, the longest active hitting streak throughout Double-A.
It proved to be Binghamton's only run of the game. Ramirez settled down to retire the final seven batters he faced before exiting after four innings of work. The righty allowed one run on three hits, walked two and hit a batter in his second start of the season.
Montero dominated the Thunder through his first six innings. The righty matched a season-high with eight strikeouts and allowed just two base runners on a walk and single.
His fortunes changed in the seventh. Jose Pirela started the inning by walking on nine pitches. J.R. Murphy followed by lining a single to left. With runners on second and third, Slade Heathcott bounced a two-run, go-ahead single up the middle and ended Montero's night.
Josh Edgin came out of the bullpen and issued a two-out walk to Neil Medchill. The southpaw paid for prolonging the inning when Ali Castillo pulled a two-run triple down the first base line. Trenton added another run off Edgin on an RBI single from Heathcott in the eighth.
The Thunder bullpen picked up where Ramirez left off and silenced the B-Mets offense. Josh Romanski (2-0) struck out four over three perfect innings and Danny Burawa allowed only one runner in two scoreless frames to collect his first save. At one point, the three Trenton pitchers combined to retire 20 consecutive B-Mets.
Montero (3-3) allowed three runs on three hits in his third straight loss. He struck out eight and walked two.
The B-Mets (16-16) conclude their series against the Thunder Tuesday night at 7:05 PM. RHP Logan Verrett gets the ball for Binghamton against LHP Nik Turley. The Horizons Federal Credit Union Pregame Show begins at 6:50 PM on Newsradio 1290 WNBF.
POSTGAME NOTES: Puello's 14-game hitting streak is one shy of his career high, a 15-game stretch he compiled with the Savannah Sand Gnats in 2010…It was the third time in six games the B-Mets have been limited to three hits or fewer
Individual tickets for all Binghamton Mets 2013 home games are on sale now. Visit the NYSEG Stadium box office during regular operating hours, purchase them online at www.bmets.com or call the office at (607) 723-METS.
Be sure to follow the B-Mets on Facebook, Twitter and at the team's official website (www.bmets.com) for more team information. Fans can also stay up to date with all the action on the field by visiting "B-Mets Buzz with Tim Heiman" at bmets.mlblogs.com.

Leaving PRI
Mar 21, 2014
Ira writes: We're leaving our distributor Public Radio International. What this means for listeners is ... nothing! We'll continue to make our radio show and podcast. The same public radio stations will continue to broadcast it. They just won't be getting it through PRI. PRI has been a great partner. When we signed up with them in 1997, we were already on over a hundred public radio stations. It'd taken us a year to get that many. In three months, PRI doubled the number. A miracle. Over the years since, they built that number to 587 stations. But looking at where PRI is now pushing its business and where we're growing – especially on the digital side of things, which we've always done without PRI – both we and our colleagues at PRI came to the same conclusion: to go our separate ways. Most listeners I meet seem utterly unaware of who our distributor is, or they think – mistakenly – that we're part of NPR. NPR is the company that puts out Morning Edition and All Things Considered and many fine programs. But there are several other companies that distribute public radio shows around the country. Local public radio stations get shows from all of them. We'll announce sometime soon what our new plan is to distribute the show to radio stations.

VOLUNTEERS at Swanage Railway are elated after scooping a £1.47 million Govern-ment grant to re-introduce a regular train service in Purbeck.
The cash boost puts them on track to complete the link from Swanage and Corfe Castle to the main line at Wareham – a long-held ambition since British Rail axed the service back in 1972.
The grant from the Coastal Communities Fund will give an important transport, tourism and employment boost to Purbeck – creating about 10 direct jobs and another 40 indirect jobs in the area.
It was announced by Eric Pickles, Secretary of State at the Department of Comm-unities and Local Govern-ment, during a visit to Ramsgate in Kent today.
The £1.47million grant has been awarded to the volunteer-run Swanage Railway Company – is owned and controlled by the volunteer-run Swanage Railway Trust charity – with the first regular trains running between Wareham, Corfe Castle and Swanage by the Spring of 2015.
Swanage Railway Company chairman Peter Sills, who rode on the last British Rail train from Swanage to Wareham in January 1972 as a teenager, said they were delighted.
"We are elated at this tremendous and very historic news because the Swanage Railway has been campaigning to bring back regular trains from Swanage and Corfe Castle to Wareham since 1972 when British Rail controversially axed the service.
"We are working closely with Network Rail and Dorset County Council to ensure that land access and lease arrangements of the three mile line between Motala and Worgret Junction required by the Coastal Communities Fund grant are put in place as soon as possible."
He added: "I would like to say a very big thank you to everyone who has contributed towards reaching this milestone in the history of the Swanage Railway."
The grant money will pay for the upgrading of track and bridges on the Network Rail three mile single line from Worgret Junction, on the London to Weymouth main line, to the Swanage Railway at Motala just east Furzebrook.
The three mile line is currently used by occasional excursion trains to Corfe Castle and Swanage from various parts of the country.
The £1.47 million grant will also pay for the upgrading of two 1960s heritage diesel rail bus trains to main line running standards.

The Loaded Slate emphasizes food, drink and chalk
Chalk it up to the need to have a gimmick in the crowded world of bars with pub grub. The Loaded Slate, the new entry in the Downtown space that formerly housed Cafe Vecchio Mondo and the Red Accordion, is somewhat obsessed with chalkboards.
Open the front door, and there is a giant board with chalk for you to sign in. Step up to the bar, and there is a narrow ribbon of chalk board running down its center.
Perch at a table. A rather large chalkboard is in the middle. Use the restroom. Yup, you can write on the walls in chalk.
Oh, and on the walls in the bar-dining area are works of chalkboard art created by college students. This is a concept conceived by co-owner Shawn Mellon, and if it proves successful on Old World 3rd Street, we may be seeing more Loaded Slates at other locations.
The idea is you can leave people notes, keep track of your tab, play tic tac toe, prove how witty you are or just doodle on the slate surfaces.
Cafe Vecchio Mondo and the Red Accordion were restaurants that had bars. The Loaded Slate is a bar that serves food.
Mellon's business partner, Joe Kuntz, built drop leaf, piano hinged tables that are attached to the walls. When more people want to drink than eat at the Slate, the space-consuming tables fold down and out of sight.
That doesn't mean the new establishment is ignoring the kitchen. It even has a kids' menu.
"We're family friendly till 10," Mellon says. "Then we become strictly a bar."
Loaded Slate's menu is pub oriented with some signature twists. An appetizer order of spicy-batter waffle fries gets the nacho treatment – a topping of Guinness cheese sauce, peppers, tomatoes, onions, olives, sour cream with chives and a choice of chicken or beef for $8.95. Bacon can be added for an extra buck.
Reuben sticks ($6.95) feature all the ingredients found in the sandwich, except the bread, wrapped in a wonton skin and deep fried. You can upgrade to the real sammy, served on marble rye, for ($8.95).
Featured panini are the pineapple grilled chicken with pepper jack cheese and the grilled slamberry turkey, consisting of smoked turkey, provolone, spinach and cranberry mustard served on sourdough bread. Both are $8.95.
A variety of burgers run from $7.95 to $10.95. All sandwiches include the choice of a side – pub fries, waffle fries, homemade chips, rosemary red potatoes or coleslaw.
The Loaded Slate offers a chef's salad ($8.95), classic Caesar salad ($7.95), brewhouse cheddar and bacon soup ($4.95) and a baked potato stuffed with Guinness cheese sauce, jalapenos and sour cream with chives ($4.95). A chicken, beef or veggie quesadilla is sold for $8.95, and a pound and a half of jumbo chicken wings tossed in buffalo or barbecue sauce goes for $9.95.
Behind the bar, five tappers include Strongbow, Guinness and Spotted Cow. The Slate sells Schlitz and Pabst tall boys. Bottled beers, chilled in neat rows in a glass door cooler, include Harp, Red Stripe, Amstel and Fat Tire.
Lunch begins at 11 every day, and a happy hour is in force from 4 to 8 p.m. daily. Appetizers, tap beers and rail drinks are $3 during happy time.
About 50 people can be seated in the bar and dining area, and an outdoor patio can accommodate another 48. A back room the owners have dubbed The Tailgate Zone will cater to parties and groups watching sporting events on TV.
The Loaded Slate had a soft opening several weeks ago. Its official grand opening begins today and runs through Saturday.
Indie rocker Jayk will perform tonight. DJ FirstGrade will appear Friday night, and DJ E. Rich is scheduled for Saturday.

Ipsen's Castle (Revision 1599)
EditIpsen's Castle
Once you're ready, fly to the northwest edge of the Forgotten Continent to reach Ipsen's Castle, or you can just auto-pilot over to it. The Jabberwock enemy is a common sighting on the plains outside the castle so have Quina eat one to learn Limit Glove if s/he doesn't yet have the skill.
For starters, you may want to equip your melee characters with the weakest weapons. The castle is upside down which means that weaker weapons will be more powerful. As for Amarant, he will leave regardless of what you say. Open both chests at the lobby to get a Dagger and the Aquarius. In the next room, you'll find Kumool. Give him Mogki's letter.
Save and collect some Cat's Claws from the chest. Quina can eat a Veteran here to learn Doom. Slide down the pole to the next area. Make your way to the ladder on the right, and go around the path left to the exit. Proceed until you reach the next ladder, head up and once a "?" appears, jump right to collect a Broadsword. Go back to the ladder and jump left this time for a Javelin. Head back to the ladder again and go down.
At the bottom, climb up the ladder to your right then down the next to you at the top. Follow this path to a chest with a Rod in it. Head back up to the platform above and through the door.
When you enter, cross the room to the platform to find the "?" and examine it. Each option adds another until "Think". Then keep selecting different options until "Try something drastic" shows up. Finally "Rest" will show up and trigger the door. The chest on the right side of the balcony contains a Barette. Notice the middle door on the ground level opened for later. Go back inside the room.
Use the lift. Collect all the mirrors and something demands that you give them back.
EditBoss Battle - Taharka
Elixir, Mythril Claws, Orichalcon
A pathetic guardian with good items. Steal all of Taharka's goods especially the Orichalcon for Zidane, If you have Quina in your party then have him cast Mighty Guard; Vivi cast Slow and attack and cast magic. This boss gains impressive physical defense when compact, so spam magic until it opens. Thievery ignores all defense so use that one too.
After the battle, make your way back out of the castle, only to discover that Amarant has not emerged. With Zidane alone, head for the moogle room and down the pole. You'll find Amarant sprawled in the room below.
Before leaving the castle, enter the middle door under the balcony in the Castle's first room. Follow the path until you get to a room with a lift in the middle. It will take you down to a room with 2 pots and 3 pedestals. Move the pots counter-clockwise twice each. That should trigger the energy from the sword into the pot on the right. Examine it for the only Ancient Aroma in the game. It teaches Dagger the "Odin's Sword" ability. Leave the castle again and start dropping people off at the shrines.
EditThe Shrines
The Water Shrine is in the ocean some ways south of Ipsen's Castle, while the Fire Shrine is inside Mount. Gulug (the volcano) near Esto Gaza.
The Wind Shrine is located southeast of Oeilvert between a pair of mountains. Lastly, the Earth Shrine is just to the south of Desert Palace.
Equip both Zidane and Quina with Gaia Gear as well as Auto Reflect if available. Continue into the shrine; press X when the "!" appears to avoid being crushed by the traps. In the next room, set the mirror in place. Watch the scenes and you'll soon face off with the Earth Guardian.
EditBoss Battle - Earth Guardian
Avenger, Rubber Suit
With the right equipment, this battle is a cakewalk. Apart from Earthquake, the Earth Guardian also attacks with level 3 elemental spells. Counter this with Auto-Reflect while Gaia Gear absorbs damage from Earthquake. Steal all of his items then just attack with Devil Killer equipped.

Descendants of 1st soldier buried at Arlington help mark cemetery's 150th anniversary
ARLINGTON, Va. — Generations of descendants of the first soldier laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery commemorated the burial's 150th anniversary on Tuesday with a wreath-laying ceremony.
The ceremony at the grave of Union Pvt. William Christman kicked off a month of activity marking the sesquicentennial of the cemetery, across the Potomac River from the nation's capital.
Christman, a member of the 67th Pennsylvania Infantry, was buried on May 13, 1864. He had contracted measles. The land was officially designated as a military cemetery a month later.
James Christman of Allentown, a great-grandnephew, said he and his cousins had no idea their ancestor had served in the Civil War, much less that he was the first soldier buried at Arlington. They found out this year when contacted by a local historical association. Christman said he suspects his grandfather knew of the honor, which has been well documented at Arlington, but that he never bothered to tell anyone.
"My grandfather was a man of few words," Christman said.
The Christman family continued to have a long history of military service, even as the family's service in the Civil War had been forgotten.
Standing in the rows of graves, great-grandniece Barbara Christman Page of Swiftwater in Monroe County thought about how her great-granduncle was the first of 400,000 from the nation's wars to be buried at Arlington.
"It is just so overwhelming," she said.
The cemetery dots land that had been the home of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. The Union army occupied the estate after Virginia seceded from the Union and turned it into a burial ground in part as a way to spite Lee.

Apple loves it when people buy its toys, but doesn't appreciate it when other companies try to muscle into its technology playpen.

Snowstorms forecasted for Vail's Opening Day
November 21, 2013
VAIL — What's better than snow on the ground on opening day? Falling snow adding to what's already here.
The National Weather Service Wednesday issued a winter storm warning for Vail, in effect through the early morning hours of Saturday. But while coming storms are relatively easy to spot these days, just what those storms will leave behind is still a matter of both art and science.
National Weather Service forecasts are predicting 1 to 2 inches for Vail today, with another inch or so overnight. That's when the feds' snowfall predictions stop.
The Weather Channel's five-day forecast is a little more generous, calling for between 2 and 4 inches Thursday, with another inch or so on Friday.
Then there's the crew at http://www.open snow.com. Joel Gratz, the forecaster for the Rockies, predicted between 1 and 3 inches on Wednesday, with to 3 during the day Thursday and another 1 or 2 in the overnight hours between Thursday and Friday. Those snow forecasts were for both Vail and Beaver Creek.
Steamboat Springs is forecast to get a bit more snow than the Vail Valley, but the southern part of the state could be in the snow bonanza belt, with several inches forecast for Silverton and Wolf Creek.
According to Gratz's report, there's plenty of moisture about, but warmer temperatures and inconsistent storm energy will keep snow totals down a bit.
While the San Juan Mountains will likely receive most of the snow from this pattern, Gratz wrote that there's a chance for higher snow totals due to all the moisture in the air.
Whatever snow this storm delivers, it will be welcomed by those heading out to Opening Day on Vail Mountain.

With Cavaliers season expected to tip off in just four weeks, the Wine and Gold are receiving excellent returns on a pair of young post players. The Plain Dealer's Terry Pluto has the scoop on Tristan Thompson and Samardo Samuels, two players who will have to see substantial improvement if this extremely young Cavaliers roster1 is to progress from back-to-back lottery seasons.
"Tristan Thompson has spent more time at the practice facility than any Cavalier this summer," writes Pluto. "The goal for the 6-9 power forward is to average 10 rebounds and 10 to 12 points. He averaged 10.4 points and 7.5 rebounds in 28 starts last season — and they want that rebounding number to rise. He's only 21.
"A year ago, Samardo Samuels arrived at camp close to 20 pounds overweight," he continues. "He has been at the facility often this season and is in excellent shape, say team sources. With Jamison gone to Lakers, power forward is wide open. Thompson is expected to start. The Cavs want four big men for center/power forward. Three spots are taken by Thompson, Varejao and rookie Tyler Zeller. That leaves Samuels competing with undrafted free agents Michael Eric (Temple), Kevin Jones (West Virginia) and Jon Leuer (acquired on waivers)."
As for Samuels' competition, the team went to decent lengths to acquire Jones immediately following the draft. Eric earned his spot due to his size as well as a fairly impressive run with the team's Summer League squad. Leuer impressed many in his limited time last season, providing several highly efficient, double-digit scoring efforts for the Milwaukee Bucks.
- Anderson Varejao, turning 30, will be the oldest player on the 15-man roster

Science Fiction & Fantasy
Sports students will inevitably study Science Fiction & Fantasy, and in doing so need to obtain Science Fiction & Fantasy textbooks. But students of Science Fiction & Fantasy often spend far too much money every semester purchasing Science Fiction & Fantasy textbooks. Science Fiction & Fantasy books can be very expensive when you buy new textbooks, while a rented textbook can be half the price or less. For example, a rental copy of either Tales from the Perilous Realm. by J.R.R. Tolkien, MR Bliss, or Tripods Trilogy (The White Mountains / The City of Gold and Lead / The Pool of Fire) can be 75% less than what you might pay in a college bookstore.
Textbook rentals are easy (and even cheaper than buying used textbooks! And there are a number of ways to find the rentals themselves. If you wanted to rent The Time Machine and the War of the Worlds (Army of the Potomac), the best way would be to find the ISBN number (in this case, ISBN9780007280599) from your Science Fiction & Fantasy class guide and search for it on BookRenter.com. Whether you're studying Anthologies, Dark Fantasy, or any other subject within Science Fiction & Fantasy, renting textbooks is the way to go.
