DISCLAIMER: The concept of Artistic License has been taken advantage of. Muchly. I heard in class that ravens were born white, but I've found no pictures. So, even if this is false and totally incorrect in basic facts, I don't care. And yes, I realize that the name "Ronald Raven" sounds like "Ronald Reagan" - that was not intentional, and was realized after his minimal role was finished.
"Oh, look Ronald! Three of them!" Rheannon Raven was very excited about her first nest of eggs, iridescent black feathers almost dancing with excitement.
Ronald Raven shook his own feathers and cawed. "Yes, three."
Rheannon jumped up and down and said, "I'll name the first one Ron – after you, dear, our firstborn! – and then Robby, and then Rachel! Oh, I can't wait! Their tiny black claws, down coats, shiny black beaks… they'll be so handsome!"
But wait she did, another few weeks, until the first one began to hatch. "Ron! RON!" Rheannon shrieked, forgetting that he was out hunting. "IT'S HATCHING!" Rheannon watched enraptured as Ronald Raven Jr. enter the world. Then she paused, lost for words. Meanwhile Robby came out of his shell, and finally Rachel. Rheannon couldn't even bring herself to clean the shell fragments off their heads – they were white! Rheannon was heart-broken, and in denial. "No…" she muttered. "My children cannot be white, they'd be… they'd be doves! There's no way…" A solution to her problem came to her, as she ignored the hungry cries of her newborns. "Those evil doves! They switched out my eggs for theirs, to spite me! These are not my children!" She burst into the raven equivalent of tears, and flew off to mope.
Ron, Rob, and Rachel were still hungry, still dirty, and very confused. Being birds, they were born already matured, to a certain extent, and so they stopped crying when they saw their mother fly away.
"Well that's odd," complained Ron. "Isn't she supposed to feed us?"
"Yeah," said Rob, "I'm hungry! MAMA! FEEEEED MEEEEEEE!!!"
Rachel snorted as best she could and tried to bat Rob on the head, but failed through lack of muscle strength. "Oh do be quiet, she's not here to hear you!" She sulked, as hungry as the other two. Just then, a fly buzzed lazily past her beak, attracted by the scent of drying eggy-stuff. Rachel cocked her head at it, then snapped at it, catching one wing. Faintly, a high-pitched voice said "Heeeeelp meeeeeee!" as the fly tumbled to the floor of the nest and wriggled in pain. Rachel giggled and snapped it up, swallowing it.
"Hey guys!" she yelled. "Eat the bugs!"
Ron and Rob looked at each other and shook their heads disgustedly, dislodging shell fragments. "Ewwwww!"
"Oh come on," Rachel said, eating a mosquito. "They're not that bad and it's the only food we've got. Deal with it!"
Ron and Rob looked at each other again, but finally went for a mosquito each. They looked at each other yet again, in surprise, when they found they like the taste of bug. Being males, they made a competition out of it - who could attract the most, and eat the most. Rachel simply settled for the bug that flew her way.
Eventually they were full, and starting to itch where their feathers and shells had dried. They could move around now, and scratched themselves against the side of the nest, using the sticks to break away the crusty covering.
The sky grew darker and Rheannon had yet to return. Rob glanced lazily at Rachel and said, "D'you think Mama will be back soon?"
Rachel looked at him silently, then said, "How would I know? I've been here just as long as you have!"
"Less, actually."
"By a few hours! Who cares?"
"I do, I'm older!"
"It doesn't matter!"
"Does too!"
"Does not!"
Ron glared at them. "Shut up, you two, I'm older than both of you!" They shut up.
Rheannon was still convinced that the three chicks in her nest were not hers. She flew by every once in a while, to see if the doves had given in to her demands to switch her chicks back, but there was no change. The chicks in her nest were still white.
Ron, Rob and Rachel grew up in the months following their birth, learning to walk and caw and flap their little fuzzy wings on their own. Then one day Rob was scratching his back against the side of the nest – it was itching – and saw a bit of white puff floating by his beak. He blinked at it, cocked his head, and said, "Hey guys? What's that?" He kept scratching, as he still itched.
Rachel hopped over, and inspected the bit of fluff caught in some twigs. "Hmmm… I dunno… it looks like part of you…" She looked up and saw more fluff coming out from behind Rob. "Turn around, hey?" Rob did, mystified. "Hey, you've got black stuff on you! Under your feathers!"
Rob started doing a weird little dance, trying to see over his shoulder. "What? Let me see, let me see! What black stuff?"
Ron came over at the noise. "Hey, you're molting!" The other two blinked at him. He blinked right back. "What? That's what it's called! When your feathers fall off and new ones grow." The other two still stared at him. "WHAT?"
"How did you know that?" Rob ventured. Ron didn't deign to reply.
Over the next few weeks they all began to molt. The nest was soon covered in clumps of white fluffy feathers, and the chicks wore new coats of shiny black feathers, with only a few stubborn tufts of fuzzy gray. It was in this state that Rheannon came back and found them.
"MY BABIES!" she shrieked, landing on the edge of the nest. The three no-so-young chicks huddled on the other side of the nest, trying to get away from the madwoman mantling and dancing about on the rim.
"Is that… Mama?" whispered Rob.
"Uh-huh," said Ron. "I recognize her."
"Yeah, that's her all right," said Rachel. "Although why she's here…" she was interrupted as Rheannon finished up her rant.
"…But you're here now, the evil doves gave you back, finally, and we can be a family again! And I can teach you to eat and fly and preen and molt and…" she trailed off. "You're already molting?"
The three looked at each other, and Ron stepped forward. "Yeah, we are. Where were you when we needed you?"
Rheannon looked hurt. "What do you mean? The doves took you, didn't they? When you were born! They took my eggs and gave me some of theirs, to spite me! Doves are evil!"
"What are you talking about?" Rachel asked angrily. "We've always been here! You abandoned us when we were hatched, you flew away without even feeding us! We had to figure it out for ourselves! We've been living on our own and teaching ourselves what we can, and you weren't there to reassure us! Why did you leave? You're our mother!"
Rheannon blinked at the small tirade, getting more and more confused. There were never her babies in this nest! Her perfect black babies, with iridescent feathers and shiny beaks, they had been stolen from her, and usurpers had been raised in her nest! But now, when they had finally been returned to her, they scorned her love and care, tossing it away like offal! Didn't they understand the pain she had gone through? Didn't they know what she had endured to remain faithful to them? It struck her to the core and cut at her heart.
"Oh, my children, you wound me! I've been faithful to your memory all this time, watching for your safe return! And now I have you again, and you don't want me? You ungrateful little hatchlings!" She flew at them in a flurry of feathers, before vanishing over their heads into the distance.
Ronald Jr., Robby and Rachel watched Rheannon fly away, silently. There was nothing in them for her; she had left them to die. They had survived, and were stronger for it. Still, she had hatched them…
Rob was the first to turn away. "So! Anyone up for a little friendly hunting practice?"

Martinrea Heavy Stamping, continuing to battle the struggling automotive economy, will eliminate one-third of its workforce during the next two months.
And if the situation there doesn't improve, local union leaders say they believe the plant might be shut down entirely.
Local 2383 President Dwayne Gilbert said that 37 union workers would be let go on Wednesday and 47 more on Nov. 10, leaving 147 employees at the company that in 2000 had about 1,100 in 2000.

To motivate and empower students to reach their educational and career goals by providing resources, enrichment opportunities, tutoring and mentoring.
The original "I Have A Dream" Project was the spontaneous brainchild of businessman and philanthropist Eugene Lane, who in 1981 made a promise to the entire sixth-grade class of P.S. 121 in East Harlem: that he would provide financial support for a college education to every student who finished high school. Lang kept his promise and then some – he added a year-round academic and cultural enrichment component, made social services accessible to his "Dreamers" and their families when needed, and made a personal commitment to each student. Six years later, over 90% of his Dreamers graduated from high school – more than three times the expected average graduation rate of students from their neighborhood.
How It Works
Ken and Gail Henshaw sponsored the first Richmond program. After considering several geographic areas and schools, the Henshaws sponsored all second graders at Broad Rock Elementary School in 2006-07, extending enrollment throughout the next year to new third graders. There are now approximately 45 Dreamers in eighth grade. While many resources are focused on Dreamers and their families, the Richmond program has expanded to have a system-wide impact on City of Richmond public schools through activities such as sponsoring field trips, visiting authors, artists in residents, book report and writing essay contests.
In addition to serving the City of Richmond, various special projects benefit the larger surrounding community and have taken on an international focus. The "Read More Books!" program has provided over 100,000 books to students in the City of Richmond , Henrico and Chesterfield Counties for their home libraries. Challenger Day introduces hundreds of exceptional education students to the sport of baseball. Students from Haiti are studying in the United States, to return to their home country as strong leaders.
Though Ken Henshaw passed away, Gail Henshaw, other members of the Henshaw family, and cadres of volunteers continue to help students maximize their personal and educational potential through traditional and innovative initiatives and special events.

Advice about culinary boot camps?
Hi everyone, I'm a newbie cook - i've taken a knife sharpening class, and can follow most basic recipes with decent success. I've ALWAYS wanted to learn how to be a better cook - in particular, i'd like to learn some of the conceptual aspects about cooking so that I can free myself up from recipes a little more. For example, things like why some recipes benefit from acidic components, basic rules about how to prepare different types of meats, fish, etc. For the longest time, I've thought about doing the 5-day culinary boot camp at the Culinary Institutes of America (CIA) or some other local culinary courses (I live in Philly). I would like feedback from anyone who has thoughts about this, particularly if anyone has done the boot camp and is willing to chat about the experience. Thanks! Feel free to email me directly at [email protected]

New Features – Much, Much More!
'Identify People' in Photos
Click the 'Identify People' button and then click on a person in a photo to tag them in place and identify who is who. When others view that photo, they will see the name of each person as they mouse over them in the photo. This is especially useful for large group shots such as weddings and family reunions.
Invite Enhancements
Because you have more fun when your family joins you on Geni, we've added these enhancements to make it easier for you to invite your family:
- Custom Invites – Use the 'Edit Invitation Template' to customize the invitation your family receives when you invite them to Geni. You can even save your custom invitation to use it again when you invite more of your family. Create a custom invite.
- Invite Page – Your invite page now lists all of your living relatives who have not yet joined your tree, sorted by their relationship to you. We hope this will make it easier for you to find and invite your missing relatives. Invite your family.
Merging Nodes
Now you can merge any two nodes in your tree (previously you could not merge two nodes if each had parents). Use the 'Move this person' option in the 'more' menu on the node to add it to the new 'Move These People' sidebar. Then drop the node on another node to merge them. Merging two nodes with existing parents will trigger an additional merge, helping to you to easily and quickly correct any duplicate branches in your tree.
We've made some changes to help our international users. You will see more progress on this over the next few releases.
- Custom Invites – You can use custom invites to add a note in your family member's native language before inviting them to the tree.
- Timezones – You can set a timezone for each profile you can edit. In the future we will use this setting to determine when the person receives notifications, birthday reminders, etc.

Sex and dogs today, two good things. (As apposed to sex with dogs, which is one very bad thing: such is the power of English conjunctions and prepositions). Sex first then, and Dr Alice Roberts: Don't Die Young (BBC2) starts her tour of the human body down there, if you know what I mean. Bits - both ladies' and gentlemen's. She approaches them in a healthy, no-nonsense, jolly-fallopian-tubes kind of way. Nothing to be embarrassed about, we've all got them. Ha ha ha. Hey, it can even be fun, too.
With her, she's got Mark and Rachel, who aren't anyone, really, just a random bloke and a random woman who are here to learn about their own sexual organs. This is a device that's becoming more common, I've noticed, particularly in cookery shows: the expert has a non-expert to show things to, so we at home get a masterclass rather than a lecture. It's OK, I think - better than the other increasingly common device: the non-expert going on a voyage of discovery. At least this way there's someone on the telly who knows what the hell they're talking about.
Dr Alice also gets thoroughly involved herself: she does life drawings, makes models from wire and Plasticine, pumps up penis balloons, slices pigs' testicles in half (surprisingly meaty inside), rolls about in a huge inflatable egg, and runs about on the Cerne Abbas giant's giant willy. It's Blue Peter meets Woody Allen's Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex. There are even men dressed as sperm running about the place.
And Dr Alice even gets her own bits out, gamely. On an MRI scan, but still ... "So there we go, my vagina on national television," she says, cheerfully. "My mum would be proud."
I hope her mum is proud: she should be. There's also an extraordinary MRI scan of a couple actually, you know, doing it. I'd like to know how that came about. Is there room in one of those machines for that? Wouldn't it be a bit claustrophobic? Were they dwarves? Maybe they got jiggy outside the machine first, and then, when everything was in place, so to speak, they were slid in by a lab technician wearing a white coat and plastic gloves? So many questions.
Sex and the Neanderthals: Revealed (Five) didn't do what it says on the tin at all. I was looking forward to some kind of caveman sex manual, to follow on from Dr Alice's lesson. Yabba-dabba-doo! But, actually, it wasn't about sex at all. This was an investigation into whether the Neanderthals in Europe weren't, in fact, wiped out by the more modern humans who emerged from Africa but interbred with them instead (does this explain the existence of Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez?). Of course sex must have gone on for this interbreeding to happen, but it was far from the focus of the programme - hardly even got a mention. There was much more about decoding genomes.
It's almost as if Five made an interesting film by mistake, and then didn't know what to do with it. OK, so the hairy, grunting, reconstructed chaps meeting in the woods were pretty laughable, but on the whole this was a serious, grown-up documentary. There was even proper science. But then the people at Five must have got scared. What the hell is this doing in our schedules? What will people think? Help! So they stuck the word sex in the title. And "revealed". A bit sad, really.
Doggies! Aww! And not just any old doggies, these are Extraordinary Animals (Five). There's Orson, the bouncy border collie who finds buried skiers in the Alps, and Saxon, a fire investigation labrador who has his own special boots to stop his paws getting burnt in the embers of smouldering buildings. Both are adorable.
But best of all is Bilbo, a huge shaggy bear-dog with a droopy face and mournful eyes. Bilbo patrols a Cornish beach on a quad bike, and when the sea looks dangerous, he jumps off and stops children going in. And if a surfer gets into trouble, Bilbo will bound into the waves with one of those floats on a rope; he'll swim out into the storm, and he'll fetch that surfer home. He is the Hoff. All he needs is a nice surgically enhanced platinum-blond lady poodle in a red swimsuit to run up and down the beach with in slow motion. Woof.

CORTLANDT, N.Y., Dec. 12 (UPI) -- A man who found Ronald Cutrone, artist and former assistant to Andy Warhol, dead in his New York home allegedly stole some of his artworks, police said.
Cortlandt, N.Y., police charged Hiram Noel Mendez Tuesday with felony second-degree burglary, petty larceny and second-degree obstructing governmental administration, the Journal News of White Plains, N.Y., reported Thursday.
Police said Mendez was checking on Cutrone, 65, July 20 at his Lake Peekskill home, when he discovered the man dead of what police said appeared to be natural causes.
Mendez, 35, allegedly left Cutrone's home after discovering him dead and returned to steal several artworks from the home before calling 911 to notify authorities about the death, said senior investigator Brian Hoff.
"We recovered what we believe to be only a fraction of the stolen art," Hoff said.
Mendez's charges could change if additional stolen items are recovered. He was held in Putnam County jail on $25,000 bail and was due back in court Thursday, the newspaper said.
Cutrone was best known for his paintings of well-known cartoon characters, which were shown at the Whitney Museum and the Museum of Modern Art. He was an assistant to Warhol during the much of the 1970s.

I'm surprised at the adverse reaction to the Scot McCloughan interview (Friday 1-19). He might not be the best speaker, and I'm not the best interviewer, but McCloughan has been the best hire the 49ers have made over the last three years. Just because the guy says "dang" doesn't mean he doesn't know how to evaluate.
Even though the 5-11 season was a crushing disappointment, there's no question that McCloughan and Mike Nolan have greatly improved the team's talent since they were both hired three years ago. One opposing coach said, after his team played the 49ers in 2004, that the 49ers were five years away from rebuilding the team.
Not only did McCloughan and Nolan inherit the most talent-less team in the league by probably a large margin, they also had to go through a process of getting rid of players before they could build back up. In two years, most experts had the 49ers in the middle of the league talent-wise. One league scout, who does a talent power rating every year, had San Francisco as the 14th most talented.
Footballoutsiders.com, which bases their talent analysis on an elaborate evaluation formula, believed the 49ers would win eight to nine games this year and would capture the NFC West.
The 49ers' special teams performed at a playoff level. The defense was certainly good enough to get the team to eight wins. As we all know, the offense failed utterly.
The team could have realized its preseason promise if not for the inexplicable poor play of the offensive line early in the season and the drama at quarterback. As Steve Young has said repeatedly, it's all about the quarterback. If the Patriots were down to their second, third and fourth quarterback, they probably would have been a .500 team.
Here's a quick look at the draft classes of Scot McCloughan:
1st round:. Alex Smith QB, Utah: McCloughan, pushed to draft Smith more than anyone else. Smith was undoubtedly ascending before this year, when injuries and controversy doomed him. Smith will need to win back some teammates after challenging Nolan publicly about the wisdom of continuing to play him when he was injured. Some believe Smith will never make it, that he doesn't have the accuracy or the makeup. GRADE: Incomplete.
2nd round: David Baas G, Michigan: Is it a coincidence that the offensive-line play picked up when Baas replaced the injured Justin Smiley? This year, he definitely began to fulfill his second-round promise. GRADE: B- but rising.
3. Frank Gore RB, Miami: McCloughan was talking about Gore when he mentioned passionate players who become stars. Gore's the best pick of the McCloughan era: Grade: A
3. Adam Snyder G-T, Oregon: He has proven he belongs as either a guard or a tackle. He might not have the long arms needed for the tackle spot, but he certainly has the power and the size for guard. Grade: B+
5. Ronald Fields DE, Mississippi State: A fifth-round choice is supposed to last a few years and then fade. Fields is doing the opposite. He's perfect for the 3-4 – a big grinding player who plays the run well. GRADE: B+
5. Rasheed Marshall WR, West Virginia: The former quarterback never caught on to the scheme. The NFL was too big for him. He balances out Fields. Grade: D
5. Derrick Johnson CB, Washington: Played in 14 games as a rookie, then was released when the 49ers improved their secondary talent. He bounced around playing with the Texans, Falcons and Dolphins. GRADE: C
7. Daven Holly CB, Cincinnati: Didn't survive his first training camp with the 49ers, has since played in Cincinnati, and played extensively in Cleveland this year. He has turned out to be a good pick, the 49ers could have used him. GRADE: B+
7. Marcus Maxwell WR, Oregon: Long, lean receiver played well in the final season at NFL Europa, then landed in Cincinnati. Not a bad seventh-rounder. GRADE: B
7. Patrick Estes T, Virginia: Still hanging on the practice squad and the active roster as the former TE attempts to learn a tough position. GRADE: C
7. Billy Bajema TE Oklahoma State: Excellent blocking tight end, a win to be drafted in the last round. GRADE: A-.
2006 Draft
1. Vernon Davis TE, Maryland: He has so much talent, but needs to really concentrate on learning the playbook. He still needs to mature. GRADE: Incomplete
1. Manny Lawson OLB, North Carolina State: He looked like he was on the verge of a big season, when he blew out his knee in September. GRADE: B and rising.
3. Brandon Williams WR, Wisconsin: Biggest mistake of the McCloughan era. The quick wide receiver wasn't focused and never panned out. He was released last year. GRADE: D-
4. Michael Robinson RB, Penn State: He was the team's best special teams player this year, and new offensive coordinator Mike Martz could tap him as an offensive asset. GRADE: B+
5. Parys Haralson OLB, Tennessee: Excellent spot player and special teams performer. He's probably never going to develop into a top-flight pass rusher, but he has value, particularly for a fifth-round choice. GRADE: B+
6. Delanie Walker TE, Central Missouri State: He really caught on late in the season, and he provides matchup problems for a defense. An excellent late round pick: A-.
Marcus Hudson CB, North Carolina State: The secondary didn't play as well after a November knee injury sidelined him for the season. Another spot player, who provides the defense with another option. GRADE: B+
6. Melvin Oliver DE LSU: Started as a rookie and then blew out his knee early in training camp. He's another functional player. GRADE: B+
7. Vickiel Vaughn S Arkansas: Never made it. GRADE: C-
2007 Draft
1. Patrick Willis LB Ole Miss: Some argue this was an easy pick. But if the Redskins, Falcons, Texans and Dolphins knew how good he was, they probably would have picked him before LeRon Landry, Jamaal Anderson, Amobi Okoye and Ted Ginn Jr. It's rare to draft a Pro Bowl player as a rookie. GRADE: A
1. Joe Staley T, Central Michigan: He struggled against Michael Strahan but played pretty well in his first year as a tackle, which is also rare. Martz loves him, and he's ticketed for the crucial left tackle spot next year. The 49ers gave up their 7th overall choice to get him, but if he continues to develop, it's worth it. GRADE: B
3. Jason Hill WR, Washington State: Had trouble learning the offense, then was waylaid by minor injuries. GRADE: Incomplete
3. Ray McDonald DE, Florida: Didn't play much, and when he did, he didn't do much. Did come on slightly at the end of the season. GRADE: Incomplete
4. Jay Moore OLB/DE, Nebraska: Knee injury kept him out for the entire season. He might have juice as a pass rusher. GRADE: Incomplete.
4. Dashon Goldson S, Washington: He will hit you and he has potential. GRADE: Incomplete
5. Joe Cohen DT, Florida: Injury robbed him of the season. GRADE: incomplete.
6. CB Terall Brown, Texas: Spent most of his time on the inactive list, then blew out his knee at the end of the season. GRADE: Incomplete.
7. Thomas Clayton, RB, Kansas State: Spent the season on the practice squad. GRADE: Incomplete.
Only eight players drafted since 2005 have made the Pro Bowl and two (Frank Gore and Patrick Willis) are 49ers. The three drafts have netted nine starters. Where McCloughan, Nolan and the personnel department have failed is at wide receiver, and possibly quarterback if Smith doesn't develop.
At receiver, the team drafted four players (see above), signed two (Antonio Bryant, Ashley Lelie) traded for one (Darrell Jackson) and as yet, none have been a number one option.
The 49ers hired Mark Uyeyama, who had been at Utah State as their assistant strength and conditioning coach.

Beware the fox in the Arctic henhouse
Inviting the United States to assume responsibility for patrolling Canada's Arctic waters, as a new report from the Canadian International Council proposes, is a bit like inviting a fox to guard the henhouse. While the U.S. is undoubtedly Canada's leading ally, and the interests of the two nations are intertwined, Arctic sovereignty stands as something of an exception to the rule for this close friendship.
Not only has the U.S. failed to recognize Canada's long-standing claim to the Northwest Passage, but the two countries have conflicting claims to a petroleum-rich part of the Beaufort Sea basin. The report describes the disputed area as a "wedge of water," but in fact it covers some 21,436 square kilometres (8,276 square miles). These two disputes are the greatest challenges to Canada's Arctic sovereignty.
The proposal to combine forces with the U.S. in Arctic security, found in "Open Canada: A Global Positioning Strategy for a Networked Age," is really a call for the U.S. to assume responsibility for the security of Canada's Arctic, since the might of the superpower would inevitably relegate Canada to the status of junior partner when it tried asserting its sovereignty. The notion that the two countries would enter into the arrangement only after the Beaufort Sea dispute is settled is hardly reassuring.
The report seems to riff off an earlier CIC paper that was critical of Conservative government policy on Arctic sovereignty and security, which has involved a strengthened Canadian military presence, suggesting it is fed by "partisan political rhetoric rooted in alarmism, even paranoia."
The new report, however, is correct to place emphasis on the growing strategic and economic value of the Arctic. It makes a convincing case that Ottawa should place greater emphasis on the Arctic Council (a forum of eight Arctic nation-states and six groups representing Arctic indigenous peoples), arguing that Canada should use its forthcoming role as chair of the council to enhance the status of the organization, most importantly by expanding the mandate to include security issues and by inviting heads of government when Canada plays host in 2013.
This emphasis is welcome. The report is right that the future of Arctic sovereignty discussions lies not in gunboats, but in diplomacy.

For those who didn't read it, last week I posted a rant about my childrens' school's "Orange-and-black" day policy.
So last night after trick-or-treating, my older daughter informed me that she had a math homework assignment that involved her counting out her treats and creating graphs and such based on her candy haul.
hmm.. interesting. I wonder what those poor kids who don't trick or treat are supposed to do?
Hypocrisy, indeed.
In a Beatles vs. Rolling Stones world, think of me as The Animals.

Chievo have signed Cristiano Biraghi on a two-year loan deal from Inter, joining Francesco Bardi.
The two clubs are working together regularly this summer to give playing time to some of the Nerazzurri's youth products.
The Flying Donkeys had already taken goalkeeper Bardi on loan this week.
Now they have 21-year-old defender Biraghi on a two-year loan agreement with both sides holding options to buy.
"I wanted to take part in the Chievo project and know that here I can find a relaxed environment where I can focus on football," Biraghi told the official club website.
"I want to continue my sporting growth. I like to always be attacking, even if I know my first objective must be to defend."
Biraghi spent last season on loan at Catania after spells at Juve Stabia and Cittadella.

onions , starberries, greens, blueberries . mixed greens
radishes , very hot radishes .
Picked the last of the spinach, sugar snap peas, beets/greens and green peas. Still have chard. Waiting on squash, tomatoes and green beans.
I am guessing I have another bust year. I see little sprigs of green in some of the pots.
We picked the rest of our red currants today. Total yield was 16 cups of fruit, now in the freezer, to rupture the cells so they are easier to juice. The white currants are just beginning to ripen, & the gooseberries are almost there. We are still picking pie cherries & strawberries.
The lettuce has slowed down, but there was still enough for a salad today, with green onions, snap peas & radishes from the garden. I planted more lettuce, spinach & onion seed today.

Frank Gore vs. Alfred Morris: Who Had the Better Postgame Shirt?December 10, 2012
On the winning side of things, postgame locker rooms can be a fun place. Guys are happy, frequently willing to talk and sometimes—as in the case of running backs Frank Gore and Alfred Morris—exceedingly creative in terms of their attire.
Gore's San Francisco 49ers and Morris' Washington Redskins both came out victors over the Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens, respectively, on Sunday afternoon. Morris was seen (as tweeted by Bart Hubbach of the NY Post) after his team's 31-28 overtime win in a neon-yellow T-shirt that read "WARNING: You can go blind from my pure awesomeness".
Gore's pullover hoodie was more subtle. It was grey rather than an eye-popping yellow, and it said a whole lot more than Morris' without saying anything at all. It was simply a dolphin.
It was a dead dolphin that looked mysteriously like the Miami logo, but it was a dolphin nonetheless.
There's something to be said about the brash statement on Morris' tee. The color of the shirt is just unavoidable, but the truth was emblazoned across his chest. He kind of is awesome. He's a sixth-round rookie who's been starting at tailback for a winning team since day one.
He's done his part in making that happen, too. During the Redskins' current four-game winning streak, he's carried the ball 20-plus times every game for 435 yards and two touchdowns. Morris is fourth in the NFL with 1,228 rushing yards.
Gore just crossed the 1,000-yard mark in Week 14, proving that the veteran's still got it. His dead dolphin hoodie looks less like an actual expired animal—which would have undoubtedly caused an uproar—and more like a cartoon goldfish.
But it's the specificity that makes his attire a better choice than Morris' selection. Gore's shirt was the equivalent of a "Nevermore" tee or an upside-down Raven head on Morris' chest. You just have to wonder: What would have become of Gore's shirt had the 49ers lost on Sunday?

Elizabeth Warren made history with her victory Tuesday night, becoming the first woman to represent Massachusetts in the U.S. Senate.
Although The Daily Free Press endorsed her competitor, U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, on Monday, there is no doubt that Warren was nevertheless a strong candidate, and we are interested in seeing what type of leadership she will bring to Congress.
Her success will be measured by her ability to keep campaign promises such as reducing student loan debt, fighting for the middle class and bringing about equal pay for women.
In regards to student loans, she will carry the responsibility of pushing for stronger grant programs and other popular legislations such as those that forgive loans to students who serve in their communities, as she promised during the campaign.
Having another Democratic senator may also help push through some of the social issues that have driven this election, such as access to birth control and abortion. With members of the Senate having pushed for legislation denying contraceptive coverage in March, it is clear that at on the federal level, reproductive rights have stirred controversy among elected officials, as well as their constituents.
It is still disappointing to see Brown, the incumbent senator, booted. Throughout his term, Brown served as an independent voice in the Senate. He reached across the aisle on issues such as the debt ceiling and rejecting the Bush-era tax cuts. Brown, who was named the least-partisan senator by Washington Magazine, voted with his party 66 percent of time, according to a Washington Post chart. The average U.S. senators votes with his or her party 90 percent of the time.
While Warren has potential to bring positive changes to the country, she must also be measured by her ability to compromise. Congress needs officials who understand that aspect of politics. If Warren can deliver that sense of compromise, she will prove to be a successful addition to the U.S. Senate.

Some of the formatting of the original, especially in lists of descendants, may have been altered slightly for ease of reading.]
Nathan Morey, of North Troy, earlier known as Batestown, a district lying between old Troy and the then village of Lansingburg, was a descendant of Roger Morey, a close follower of Roger Williams, after their arrival in America on the ship "Lion," February 5, 1631. They both took the freeman's oath in Boston on the same day, May 8, 1631. When Roger Williams was called to the Salem, Massachusetts, church as assistant to the pastor, Rev. Mr. Skelton, Roger Morey followed, and became a member of the church in 1636. In 1637 he entered into an agreement with the town "that he should begin the keeping of all the town's cattle the fifth of the second month, and so to continue eight months with the help of another efficient man." He prospered in Salem, and accumulated land until 1643, when the Massachusetts general court having banished Roger Williams "for having preached and divulged new and dangerous opinions against the authority of Magistrates," Roger Morey joined his old pastor and friend at Providence, Rhode Island. Here he was made freeman in 1655, and on May 25, 1655, he was "appointed by the court of commissioners to keep a house of entertainment; and a convenient sign was to be set out at a most conspicuous place of said house to give notice to strangers." He was commissioner in 1658; juryman 1661; died prior to May 6, 1669. He married Mary Johnson, and had nine children. The first Morey settlement in New York state was effected by Thomas Morey, a descendant of Roger Morey, who previous to 1778 was a resident of Albany county, and a member of the Thirteenth Albany County Regiment under Colonel Van Vechten. Later he purchased one hundred acres of land in the town of Milton, Saratoga county, and became a farmer. He had three wives and left issue. Jonathan Morey and his brother Daniel, grandsons of the settler, Thomas Morey, built the first woolen and cotton mill ever erected in Saratoga county. The family of Morey is now widely scattered over New York state.

In 1822 he was one of the signers to a petition to the Grand Lodge of New York, Free and Accepted Masons, asking for a dispensation to farm a new lodge in Lansingburg. This was granted, and Phoenix Lodge, No. 361, was chartered June 23, 1823. He carried on a tannery, and was succeeded by his sons: John and Charles. He married and had issue.
(II) Charles, son of Nathan Morey, was born in North Troy, New York, in 1807, died February, 1841. He was a tanner, and conducted a profitable business for many years. He married Nancy Winne, born 1804, died 1862, granddaughter of Richard Winne, born in Holland (see Winne III).

He established himself in the grocery and hardware business in Poultney, where most of their married life was spent. He disposed of his business interests in Poultney, and removed to Troy, where he died. During the civil war Mr. Richardson enlisted in Company I, Seventh Regiment, Vermont Volunteers, and as a part of the Army of the Potomac passed through several of the hard-fought battles of the war. He received a severe wound in the arm during one of these battles. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and a Republican in politics. Child: Lena Morey, married, June, 1889, Casper Hulitt, of Pawlet, Vermont; now a wholesale and retail tobacconist, of Troy. He is a son of Merritt and Sarah (Hulitt) Hulitt, of Pawlet, Vermont. Mr. Hulitt, Sr., was a prominent man of affairs, president of the Granville Bank, and interested in other enterprises. Mrs. Richardson survives her husband, and resides in Troy, New York.
Nancy Winne, wife of Charles Morey, was a granddaughter of Richard Winne, born in Holland, came to the United States when a young man and settled in the town of Brunswick, Rensselaer county, New York, where he purchased and improved a good farm. He married Susanna ————; children: Peter, Abraham, Levinus, John and Richard (2).
(II) Levinus, third son of Richard and Susanna Winne, was born in 1771, died in Brunswick, Rensselaer county, New York, 1841. He served in the war of 1812, and was a farmer. He was a Whig in politics, and a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. He married Jane Miller; children: Robert, Levinus (2), Philip, Jane, Gertrude, Hannah, Nancy, Elizabeth, Susanna and Hester.

Language development: 25-36 monthsAbilities do vary quite a lot in this age range. By the time your child reaches their third birthday, they should be saying anything between 2-300 words.
Nouns and verbs and pronouns will be put together to make short sentences, such as: 'You kick ball', or 'I drink milk'.
Another thing you'll start to notice is lots of screeching and difficult controlling volume of speech. This will improve the closer they get to 3.
Some children will obviously be far more advanced than others, so it's important not to worry too much if Jimmy or Amy at playgroup are talking much more.
Language development: 3-4 yearsDuring this year, children usually know more than 1,000 words and will start to talk in more complex sentences and use correct grammar.
There will still be a few sounds that might be difficult for your child, such as r, z, f or th, but your child will generally speak in ways that most people will understand.
Continued below...
Children will enjoy stories and jokes and love asking lots of questions about the world around them. They will also be able to say how old they are.

2014 World Cup: Ghana defender Awal Mohammed not bothered by Kwesi Appiah's snub in South Africa
K. Appiah
By Ameenu Shardow
Follow on Twitter @alooameenu
Ghana defender Awal Mohammed insists he is not troubled by the inability of coach Kwesi Appiah to monitor him during his time in South Africa.
The Black Stars trainer is still in South Africa to check on his squad hopefuls for the 2014 World Cup.
Appiah was in the stands to see Rashid Sumaila play over the weekend.
He followed it up with a visit to Sumaila and Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Fatau Dauda.
Kwesi Appiah was however unable to travel to see Awal Mohammed in action for Maritzburg United ahead of his return to Ghana on Wednesday.
His limited visits to Ghanaian players is being interpreted as hints towards the players he will be naming in his squad for June's tournament in Brazil.
The ex Asante Kotoko defender however says he is not worried by Appiah's perceived neglect having been engaged in a telephone conversation with the Black Stars coach.
"The coach took my number and spoke to me but he was unable to visit me,†Awal told Happy FM.
"South Africa is a big country and I don't expect the coach to travel to all areas just because he is in the country.
"But he spoke to me and I am happy with that.â€
Kwesi Appiah will be finalizing his provisional 30-man squad for the World Cup on his return to Ghana.

Assemblyman says:April 22, 2014 07:37 pmThis is purely a lousy scouting..went to SA just to see one player play while visit another benchwarmer whose place in his club is the stands since the last days?? Oh Akwasi!! Never did you even pass by to see Daniel Adjei who came back from injury a couple of weeks ago and still manning the post for his club?? At least find out how his health is ,the least!!His reasons are obvious and not a good show of fair coach.This is pathetic !!
Ghanaman says:April 22, 2014 09:20 pmAA is not omnipresent and can do so much at a time...so let's rally behind him and support his cause hoping he makes the right decicions with his final selection.
benny says:April 22, 2014 09:29 pmWhen l spoke about the fact that AA visit to South Africa was unnecessary and there were some trojan mapped reigning insult on me. He went to see Dauda worming bench and took his cheque and ignore the rest. Why did he not go with Maxwell Konadu? and if the need be they schedule the visit between them. I have zero trust in clueless AA. My only consolation is the willingness of the players to make name for themselves and for that matter Ghana but left with AA we are doomed. I still remember how we were out played in Egypt.
benny says:April 22, 2014 09:32 pmWhen l spoke about the fact that AA visit to South Africa was unnecessary , there were some trojan muppets on here reigning insult on me. He went to see Dauda worming bench and took his cheque and ignore the rest. Why did he not go with Maxwell Konadu? and if the need be they schedule the visit between them. I have zero trust in clueless AA. My only consolation is the willingness of the players to make name for themselves and for that matter Ghana but left with AA we are doomed. I still remember how we were out played in Egypt.
Assemblyman says:April 22, 2014 11:29 pmMan,this is a shocker!!We insisted on Akwasi to take up the blackstars but some actions of him might relegate the idea entirely on giving the job to another Ghanaian coach ,shld he fail in Brazil.Which I pray that we don't .besides it's been the players who are hungry to make name for themselves than this Akwasi Appiah guy.We shld remember he has performed well at bigger tournaments and logs almost all friendly matches played..I remember our matches against Cape Verde and Burkina Faso.Man,let's be truthful for once here,we were totally outclassed by these mediocre teams with Akwasi Appiah lost at ideas to change the game.in the end the onus lie on the players not the fans.But let me tell you,we were lucky to beat Egypt to qualify all because their league had been closed for 2 good years besides the country were suffering because of political turmoil .while most of their players play in the domestic league .So God played the game to win for Ghanaians to qualify at the time.But not we Ghanaians ..We got lucky this term..well let's stay positive the least for now,,
Assemblyman says:April 22, 2014 11:33 pmI mean "We shld remember he didnt performed well at bigger tournaments and lost almost all friendly matches played..I remember our matches against Cape Verde and Burkina Faso."-I correct now
Anokwale says:April 23, 2014 02:39 am@Assemblyman. Please advise us as to why Cape Verde and Burkina are not in this WC. I will help you. Cape Verde had a coach and technical staff that fielded an ineligible player. Burkina had a coach that was trying to play for a 0-0 draw in Algeria when he had a 3-2 lead going in. Sounds like AA is a better coach.
Ghanaman says:April 23, 2014 03:34 amAll these animals like Benny, Assemblyman , and other DOGS don't know a thing about football.
spellBOUND says:April 23, 2014 03:41 amwhen we criticize AA on issues that warrant questioning, u come to his defense with insults... HOPE is Ghanaman's bread and butter..
spellBOUND says:April 23, 2014 03:46 amwith a 5 goal lead, even barcelona couldn't have beaten us...
harry says:April 23, 2014 05:14 amGhanaman,you sound like u are on either AA's payroll or Dauda's payroll.You defend the 'obvious bad'.How do u monitor a bench warmer?No white coach will Adore a bench warmer in South African League.Gh League is even better despite lack of CASH.Also haven't u realized that AA is always making like-for-like substitutions?He lacks that tactical mind.lets face it.
Assemblyman says:April 23, 2014 06:31 amMr Man,you call human being dogs .Did your papa teach you that foolish thing? Am sure you must be living in the Stone Age,you stupid bastard who talks from us anus without using your head to think.Foolish fool..kwasia Gyimi Gyimi ..
Coach says:April 23, 2014 06:37 amI was doubtful if "Ghanaman" was born and brought up by chimpanzees who have no manners but now, I am fully convince he could not have been brought up by humans. Guys ignore this Chimpanzee born idiot who have no manners
Assemblyman says:April 23, 2014 06:49 amMy brother ,like I had said,had Egypts league been in full force they could hv given us a real run for our money.remember they were the African champions till they shut die their league .during their reign as champions hardly did we beat them.so hard luck counted there .we saw it when they played us.their cohesion was lost and their hunger to win games wasn't there much .we got lucky brother.. About Cape Verde ,man,they should be blamed for their role in fixing ineligible players but they beat their opponent both home and away.besides in recent FIFA rankings,they got ranked higher than Ghana.am sure you do remember their match against us in the African nations cup..how did you see it ? Their part time coach and air traffic controller who understudied Mourinho before taking over as a coach was better in tactics over AA.. But for burkina,at least an sure you could remember how Seidu Bansey got shot to far overnight with regards to his display on Ghana ..changes AA did was even horrible in the game,,ask yourself why hasn't Derek Boateng been invited after the game,,but for the World Cup ,well God must be a Ghanaian to see us through.since drawing With Egypt in the play off match sent shivers to our spines nationwide,,everybody thought Egypt were going to qualify.whiles we lost in Zambia's away game.egypt beat almost every country in their group..but hard luck eluded them with Ghana .
Coach says:April 23, 2014 06:53 amI have stated clearly that we should pray fervently for mother luck to smile on us again otherwise we are on our way back home even before we kick a ball . The truth of the matter is that we do not have a coach, we have some one who calls players . What team did Appiah coached before been appointed Ghana coach? The hype about Appiah is just sheer propaganda by selfish people who are only concern about their pocket
Assemblyman says:April 23, 2014 06:55 am* I correct this sentence .i mean Seidu Bansey how he got shot into "fame" overnight not the word "far".
jb says:April 23, 2014 07:09 amIs totally waste of tax payers money, it make sense to travel to visit key players of the team but to visit every single member of the 30 provisional players is totally a joke. Waste of tax payers money
Assemblyman says:April 23, 2014 07:10 amHarry..man that Ghanaman idiot is an imposter..he is that Nigerian guy "wanna be" Ghanaian.Just another frustrated scammer who must be living in Apapa down in Lagos.Be kwasiaman!!
Assemblyman says:April 23, 2014 07:16 amYeah that guy is not even Ghanaian ,I just explained. A very very low self esteemed nigerian who day dreams of being a Ghanaian and no wonder he is not a Ghanaian either.because we don't hv such bushmen in our culturally inculcated and polite society.
Coach says:April 23, 2014 07:19 amHe has not won a single game against a team from outside our continent of Africa and of course records are the to prove it. Drew with China, Turkey, lost to Japan and Montenegro. In Africa, we were beaten by Burkina, Mali, Egypt,Liberia, Zambia, drew with Dr Congo, etc and you call him a good coach? What is good about this results that makes him a good coach?
Assemblyman says:April 23, 2014 09:31 amCoach,your point can't be ignored.As usual Ghana needs fasting and prayers at the World Cup.because if you decide to look at things this way.I guess there is going to be a real reason to sacking kwasi nyantakyi and co from the GFA after abysmal performances of the blackstars in Brazil .besides a lot of truth will come out openly should they fail in Brazil.because they will be finding new people to be blaming as usual like whatever happened at the equatorial guinea-Gabon and South Africa's recent cup of nations.But much as Ghanaian as we are,I guess we should stay positive and rally behind the blackstars in good faith.
