UAlbany travels to top-seeded University of Vermont - a program that has beaten the Danes eight straight times, and knocked them out of the last three postseason tournaments.Head coach Scott Marr knows his team can change the tide of this matchup with the Catamounts; the key is to simply stay out of their own heads."Obviously we've struggled with them the last couple years," said Marr.

Dear Amy: An ethical dilemma:My family and I were recently getting food at a drive-thru after our high school softball game. It was a big order.When our food was handed to us, our mom basically quickly handed it back to us in the back seat and drove away from the restaurant.We dove in and were helping ourselves to some chicken from a bucket when we noticed that we had been handed part of someone else’s order.We told our mother that we’d gotten extra food that wasn’t ours, but she said there wasn’t anything we could do about it and that we just got lucky.We felt bad that someone else hadn’t gotten their food.What should we have done?HungryDear Hungry: Because you had already started eating the food, returning it wouldn’t have been possible. You could have quickly called the restaurant to let them know of the mistake – as a courtesy to clear up any subsequent confusion caused by the mix-up.Dear Amy: My brother has been married twice. He and his first wife had two sons.During the divor...

What a blessing it is to welcome a child into your life!There are many opinions about how and when to tell your child that they are adopted, so I can’t give you a definitive answer.
