acquisition of land in his moshav, Amikam.RELATED:The reporter who brought down the generalGalant to High Court: Lindenstrauss probe was illegalThe petition eventually led to
an investigation by the state comptroller, and Attorney-General Yehuda Weinstein

Navigating personal injury situations can be difficult, particularly for those who have never death with a similar event in the past. The key to ultimate success is to find a great personal injury lawyer and work together with the to build an effective case through you can receive the compensation you deserve. To help you find a personal injury lawyer, visit local attorney websites. You can conduct attorney searches by either location or by their area of expertise. By choosing an attorney located in your area, you can rest assured that the lawyer will be knowledgeable of the laws governing personal injury in your court's jurisdiction.
Personal injuries can have far reaching repercussions on the personal and social life of the victim, including loss of work, high medical bills, change in daily life, and a lot of stress. No matter how strong the temptation to accept a quick settlement from the person liable for the injury, it is absolutely important to work with a reputable lawyer who can help you along the process. You don't want to get confused and uncertain about the legal process. Below are 5 tips to finding a good personal injury lawyer.
Experience is key!
Experience is one of the greatest qualities to look for in a lawyer. Lawyers who have been practicing for a long time and who have dealt with different kinds of clients and cases will easily handle your case. Experience goes hand in hand with reputation. What you are looking for is quality experience. You do not want a lawyer who has handled ten cases in the last ten months and has lost all the cases. Experienced lawyers command respect in courts by their ability to investigate facts, build a strong case for their client and win the jury over their side.
Where is he/she located? Is it Convenient?
Make sure that you hire a lawyer who lives in your city. You do not want to have problems when it comes to communication. You may be required to pay the lawyer's travel expenses and if he lives too far from your jurisdiction, then this can be costly and stressful for you. A lawyer you can easily contact will do a better job than one you will hardly talk to. It is also important to find out if the lawyer is available to work on your case. Some good lawyers are solicited by many clients at the same time, so make sure that your lawyer will have the time to research and work on your case. What you're looking for is a lawyer with specialization in personal injury law. There are different kinds of lawyers and each has a specialization. A lawyer who specializes in probate law may not be the most suited to handle your case. So when looking for a lawyer, make sure you find out if the one you consider hiring specifically deals with cases related to personal injury. An expert in personal injury law will know how to interpret the law in your favor and avoid errors that can damage your case.
Customer Feedback & Cost
You should work with a budget and make sure you ask for the cost of hiring the lawyer when you go in for consultation. It is important to find out how the lawyer bills you. Some lawyers may charge per hour and others may choose to work on a fixed budget. You'll always find lawyers who will not ask for any payment unless they win your case. You should consider the different options and weigh them well before making your final decision. Previous clients can help you make the right choice of a lawyer. Do not be afraid to ask for referrals and references. You can seek out friends or family members who have had personal injury cases before and ask them for recommendation. Ask lawyers for client references so you can check with previous clients if they did a good job. You should check reviews online for personal injury lawyers.

The Next Frontier : Light Up Kogarah
FOLLOWING the transfer of the Broncos home game from Kogarah to WIN Stadium, R2K has been researching the subject of stadium lighting. Although Stage 1 of the Jubilee Oval redevelopment is complete, with the exception of the Legends' Walk, there was no provision for permanent lighting in the initial stage of the refurbishments. The St.George-Illawarra Management decided to transfer the Broncos game, as they only wanted to play Sunday games at Kogarah in the first year of the return and had no desire to bring in temporary lighting. The lighting issue needs to be resolved by St.George-Illawarra and Kogarah Council for the 2004 season.

An article in the most recent edition of the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) suggests that as many as two million children who are "morbidly obese" should be put on a diet by government and removed from their parents and families if they don't show progress.
A morbidly obese person is someone who's body mass index (BMI) is 40 or higher, generally someone who is 100 pounds or more overweight. According to the July 13 USA Today, and the JAMA article, "Roughly 2 million U.S. children are extremely obese. Most are not in imminent danger, Ludwig said. But some have obesity-related conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, breathing difficulties and liver problems that could kill them by age 30."

About the ManufacturerIt is estimated that nearly 75 percent of all U.S. households own PYREX products. Just as Kleenex® tissue has defined quality paper tissue and Thermos® container has defined quality thermal vacuum containers, PYREX is an American product that has defined quality, heat-resistant bakeware, prepware and serveware to several generations. When asked to name a glass bakeware brand, consumers most often reply "PYREX" products.
Back in the early 1900's, Corning Glass Works was working on a request from the railroads to produce lantern glass that would not break when the hot glass was struck by rain or snow. In response to this request, Corning developed globes made from low-expansion glass that could withstand the abuses of weathering and handling which readily broke the flint glass globes. Ironically, the shatterproof lantern globes generated were so good that Corning's managers witnessed a decline in sales of replacement globes. This super-tough "fire glass", as it was called, was resistant to temperature fluctuations, chemical corrosion and even breakage.
In July 1913, a series of events involving Bessie Littleton, the wife of the company's newest scientist, forced Corning managers to focus their attention on the consumer venture. Apparently, Mrs. Littleton had used a Guernsey brand casserole only twice when it fractured in the oven. Knowing the strength of the glass her husband worked with on a daily basis, she implored him to bring home a substitute from the Corning Glass Works plant. He returned the next evening with the bottoms of two sawed-off battery jars made from low-expansion glasses. Mrs. Littleton cooked a sponge cake in one of the surrogate baking dishes. She noted several remarkable findings: • The cooking time was shorter • The cake did not stick to the glass; it was easy to remove with little adhesion • The cake was unusually uniform • The flavor of the cake did not remain in the dish after washing • She could watch the cake bake and know it was done by looking at the underside.
Mr. Littleton brought his wife's creation to work the following day. Laboratory researchers inspected the cake, which was a "remarkable uniform shade of brown all over." The men deemed it delicious and very well baked. Thus began a two-year process to perfect this new invention. The notion of baking in glass was a whole new concept to the public. In 1915, a wondrous new line of "glass dishes for baking" appeared in the nation's hardware, department and china stores. On May 18, 1915, Boston department store Jordan Marsh placed the first PYREX bakeware order.
Sold under the PYREX® trademark, this transparent ovenware seemed to be the perfect material, for it was "swift, clean, and economical." Ordinary glassware easily chipped, cracked and broke. PYREX glass was different. This bakeware was not only sturdy, it was nearly unbreakable, eliminating the hassle and cost of replacement. (The durability factor would become even more important as resources grew scarce during the Great Depression and World War II.)

I absolutely love these pie plates. I wanted something that I could take to a Family Reunion that would look good, present the pies well, and be somewhat inexpensive. These plates fit the bill completely. I also got really good reviews about the pies! These pie plates baked the pies awesomely.

The Racketeerby John Grisham
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Given the importance of what they do, and the controversies that often surround them, and the violent people they sometimes confront, it is remarkable that in the history of this country only four active federal judges have been murdered.
Judge Raymond Fawcett has just become number five.
Who is the Racketeer? And what does he have to do with the judge's untimely demise? His name, for the moment, is Malcolm Bannister. Job status? Former attorney. Current residence? The Federal Prison Camp near Frostburg, Maryland.
On paper, Malcolm's situation isn't looking too good these days, but he's got an ace up his sleeve. He knows who killed Judge Fawcett, and he knows why. The judge's body was found in his remote lakeside cabin. There was no forced entry, no struggle, just two dead bodies: Judge Fawcett and his young secretary. And one large, state-of-the-art, extremely secure safe, opened and emptied.
What was in the safe? The FBI would love to know. And Malcolm Bannister would love to tell them. But everything has a price — especially information as explosive as the sequence of events that led to Judge Fawcett's death. And the Racketeer wasn't born yesterday...
Nothing is as it seems and everything's fair game in this wickedly clever new novel from John Grisham, the undisputed master of the legal thriller.
"Bestseller Grisham (The Litigators) is back in top form with this twisty, precisely plotted legal thriller that eschews the civics lessons of some of his more recent work. The masterful opening introduces disgraced Virginia lawyer Malcolm Bannister, who has served half of a 10-year prison sentence for money laundering after getting caught up in a federal net aimed at a sleazy influence peddler. Bannister's conviction has, naturally, destroyed his life, but he thinks he can use the murder of federal judge Raymond Fawcett to his advantage. Fawcett, who presided over a landmark mining rights case, and his attractive secretary, with whom he was having an affair, were both found shot in the head in his cabin in southwest Virginia. Near the bodies was an empty open safe. When the high-profile investigation stalls, Bannister tells the feds that he can identify the killer for them in exchange for a release from jail and the means to start a new life. The surprises all work, and the action builds to a satisfying resolution. Agent: David Gernert, the Gernert Company. (Oct.)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
Given the importance of what they do, and the controversies that often surround them, and the violent people they sometimes confront, it is remarkable that in the history of this country only four active federal judges have been murdered.
Judge Raymond Fogletree just became number five.
His body was found in the basement of a lakeside cabin he had built himself and frequently used on weekends. When he did not show up for a trial on Monday morning, his law clerks panicked, called the FBI, and in due course the agents found the crime scene. There was no forced entry, no struggle, just two dead bodies — Judge Fogletree and his young secretary.
I did not know Judge Fogletree, but I know who killed him, and why.
I am a lawyer, and I am in prison.
It's a long story.

Congresswoman Kathy Hochul (D) and her Republican challenger Chris Collins spent Friday campaigning east of Buffalo in Albion and Batavia respectively.
Canisius College professor Dr. Michael Haselswerdt says, "at this point, in terms of pulling votes, that's the part of the campaign we don't see. The phone banking, a little bit of canvassing. Getting out and trying to determine and getting list of people who will support you. So you're not going randomly at this point. You're going to target people who have indicated some level of support for you."
He also says at this point, both candidates need to remain visible.
Plus, you still have four more days to deal with all the negative ads you see and hear. Haselswerdt says they work, "I don't think it will turns voters off."

A crew neckline and jersey knit fit make the women's Smartwool's Microweight Tee a perfect base or stand-alone layer for everything from biking to hiking. Microweight is perfect as a next-to-skin apparel for high performance activities in the warmest weather. Because Smartwool fibers wick moisture away while it's still in a vapor state, Smartwool keeps you dry, comfortable, and odor free. Smartwool has a natural crimp that traps thousands of tiny little air pockets that act like insulation for your body. Sythetics have to wait for moisture to turn to liquid before wicking away. Smartwool is more versatile and superior to Synthetics in cold and warm weather because it compliments your body's natural heating and cooling process.

Comments about SmartWool Microweight Tee (Women's):
Yep, I had the tee on and then another midweight long sleeve cyclist company shirt. After 10 min of jogging, the top came of. Running in the Smartwool tee was enough in the 40-50's. Want more, and will get as the budget provides.
I actually did already recommend this, to my friend I was running with who complained about her shirt moving up her waist. Mine stayed down nice and long as we ran.

Dinos winning streak at two for first time in 11 years
The Carbon Dinos football team have opened their season with two straight wins with a 17-7 victory over American Leadership Academy.
Not since the 2000 season have the Carbon Dinos been able to win two games in a row. 2007 was the last time they even won two games in a season.
Carbon won the flip and took the kickoff. An ALA interception off a pass from Dinos quarterback Dakota Cisneros which resulted in a quick seven points for the Eagles. Carbon was unable to score but put together some sustained drives that took the punch out of the ALA defense.
With a little over 7:35 in the second quarter, Ozzie Loaiza blocked an ALA punt and Tanner Gagnon was able to snag the ball in the end zone for the first Dino points.
The Carbon defense was able to get the ball back late in the half on an interception. An ensuing face mask penalty against ALA put the ball on about the five yard line for the Dinos. On the second play Daulton Nelson ran in the ball on a one-yard drive. Gagnon again nailed the point after.
With Carbon hanging on a tenuous 14-7 lead, they came out and let the defense hold the Eagles from moving the ball. In the third it looked like the Dinos had added a field goal, but the officials ruled it did not split the uprights.
Finally late in the fourth, the Dinos were able to again capitalize on an interception and hit a field goal with 2:42 left in the game. It looked like Carbon would stop ALA deep in their own territory, but a late penalty gave the Eagles new life. ALA marched down the gridiron for their best drive of the game, but the Dino defense held on for the huge victory.
The defensive performance was highlighted by cornerback Dustin Norried as he finished with two interceptions and a fumble recovery for the Dinos. Garrett Hunt also finished with two interceptions for the Dinos.
The defense also racked up a number of sacks and one other interception as they applied consistent pressure on the Eagles offense all game long.
Coach Jeff Blanc was ecstatic as he lined up with his team for the after game ritual of shaking hands with their opposition, "Tremendous win! This is a great victory and we are happy!"
The student body and cheerleaders flooded the field for a night of celebrating.
Carbon will take on Ben Lomand at home on Friday at 7 p.m.

San Antonio 98, Clippers 87
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Wed, 03/29/06, 07:16am:
If nothing else came out of last night's disaster, I was able to resist the urge to purchase and consume a $6.50 horn of Zebra/chocolate dipped caramel corn for the first time since the All-Star Break. When you consider everything else - most prominently, John, your $250 moving violation caught on camera while turning left off Flower - that was the evening's highlight.
You and I broke it down while suffering through the fourth quarter last night and then Jason Reid nailed it in his lede in this morning's LAT:
Spread the offense, penetrate and locate shooters for uncontested shots.
It's a blueprint to defeat the Clippers, whose defensive shortcomings are glaring against certain teams...
Now there's nothing odd about Mike D'Antoni expanding his offensive sets with Players of Unusual Size (POUS) darting around the perimeter, but when D'Anti-tonis like Mike Fratello and Gregg Popovich decide to play Italian League ball instead of pounding it inside, you know they've exposed some vulnerability in your defensive rotation.
In the first half, you almost sensed that the Spurs' perimeter guys would get the ball off the pass, set themselves for the fake, then be utterly surprised to find themselves left alone. At that point, they're, like, "Ummm...I'd be crazy to kick this look out of bed."
By the third quarter, Finley, Bowen, then Barry were so comfortable that it didn't matter that the Clips couldn't get straight on the rotation. Those shots were going down, irrespective of the Clippers' snoozing.
Despite the missed assignments on defense, this game was lost in the third quarter on the offensive end. Cassell hit three pull-up jumpers in the first two minutes of the quarter, then the Clips found Kaman one-on-one against Nazr (Chris missed the chippy, but followed with a basket and one), then rigor mortis set in.
I'm watching the replay as I write and you're right - we didn't run a coherent offensive set the final eight minutes of the quarter as Popovich employed the 2-3 zone and blanketed the paint with his bigs:
- Cassell trying to take Bowen off the dribble (blocked); Ross throws up desperation three with shot clock expiring.
- Cassell fade-away jumper over Bowen with Duncan coming to help (clank)
- Corey missed 20-footer with :17 on the shot clock (clank)
- Corey 19-foot airball
- Cassell bounces a pass beyond the reach of Kaman (turnover)
Livingston and Vlad are subbed in for Corey and Q at this point.
- Sam is able to find Kaman one-on-one on the low block against Duncan, but Kaman travels.
- Cassell 18-foot pull-up (clank), followed by a T, courtesy of Violet Palmer.
Mobley subs in for Cassell.
- Shaun has his 10-footer blocked by Barry, Brand collects the spoils, isn't able to muscle it in over a double-team.
- Brand goes baseline against Duncan, but misses the little reverse.
- Shaun shakes-n-bakes and is able to draw the double-team away from Brand at the top of the key. Brand gets a phenomenal look from 15, but just misses it. This is, without exception, the best sequence of the quarter. Kaman is able to collect the garbage and earns a trip to the stripe.
- Same two-man game: Shaun dribbles to his favorite spot to the left of the key, finds an open Brand. Losing confidence in his shot, Brand decides to dribble into traffic, misses the contested five-footer, but Kaman tips in the rebound for two.
- In the freakiest display of Serbo-laciousness we've seen in a while, Vlad takes Barry off the dribble and launches himself MJ-style for the slam.
Rebraca enters the game for Kaman.
- Shaun penetrates against Barry and draws the foul and hit his two free throws.
- Elton sets a nice screen for Shaun, who easily shakes Barry and drains a 13-footer. The lead is cut to 5.
- Elton passes up a one-on-one matchup against Horry to kick it out to a wide-open Kat on the arc. Mobley misses badly. He went 0-6 from the field and looked awful.
- Vlad drives baseline and tries to bounce it to a curling Brand (turnover)
- Shaun recovers a turnover on the Spurs' end, races upcourt with the quarter expiring, but has his layup blocked by Horry.
And that was it. Spurs 71, Clips 61 after three. I don't suppose the Spurs have blown a double-digit fourth quarter lead all season, and certainly not against a team with an anemic three-point attack.
Elton Brand has now surpassed 'Nique as my FavoritePlayerOfAllTime, but if he has one shortcoming in his game, it's passing out of the double-team -- something Garnett and Duncan have in spades. Brand will cultivate this skill, but right now he's still an average passer, the only part of his game that isn't superlative -- and he isn't getting much help from his supporting cast. When a 2-3 zone is like kryptonite to your post game, your swing guys have to move without the ball.
John, can you send some Rip Hamilton game tape to Corey Maggette?

If I haven't said this before, baby boy #3 was a complete surprise! Six years after we'd declared our family complete, he proved us wrong and, as you'd expect, we found ourselves like deer in headlights touring the aisle at Babies 'R' Us. So many things had changed since we brought home our first bundle of joy ten years ago – among them, the concept of the diaper changing pad. What was once simply a stuffed pillow has transformed into oversized curved foam pads or plastic-covered mini-mattresses.
We weren't going baby-crazy this time around. We learned our lesson with the first two. It's not necessary. This time around, I needed something small and transportable. Enter the Ah Goo Baby Plush Pad. Its smaller size makes it a perfect fit for my small diaper changing table. It's made with memory foam to keep the little guy happy and content at changing time. And even better, it has this cool patented roll-up function so I can take it on the road with us when we travel. The pad cover is machine washable (just unzip and take the pillow part out).
I wish I'd known about this a few years ago to save myself a lot of trouble. The Ah Goo Baby Plush Pad is sold for $34.95 on the Ah Goo Baby website.

BROWNVILLE One person died in a shooting early Friday during an apparent domestic altercation at 200 St. Lawrence Ave. W.
Jefferson County sheriffs detectives, who are investigating, were not releasing the victims identification as of late Friday, pending notification of next of kin.
The victim is a man, the sheriffs office confirmed. A detective said the investigation is continuing, although his news release indicated suicide is suspected.
The dwelling is the home of Brent A. and Kelly L. Berkman Biedekapp, according to county property records. A town of Brownville resident confirmed that the couple lived in that house, although it is believed that they had split up.
A female party involved in the dispute reported that her estranged husband entered the residence armed with a shotgun, the news release disclosed. After a brief struggle the female was able to flee the residence, but did report hearing a single gunshot after leaving the house.
Jefferson County emergency dispatch received notification at 2:21 a.m. of a shooting with injury at the residence. Subsequently, sheriffs deputies, state troopers and Watertown police surrounded the dwelling, and streets in the area were closed off by police and the Brownville Fire Department.
Eventually, sheriffs and Watertown police entry teams went into the house and found the man dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to the news release.
Streets were reopened shortly after 6 a.m. Shortly after 7:30 a.m., Dr. Samuel A. Livingstone, county medical examiner, arrived at the house to participate in the investigation.
Mr. and Mrs. Biedekapp were married April 11, 1992, according to Times files. Mrs. Biedekapp is listed on the General Brown Central School Districts website as a kindergarten teacher at Dexter Elementary School.
At the time of their marriage, Mr. Biedekapp was a driver and salesman for Pepsi-Cola of Watertown. He graduated from Watertown High School in 1982.

We created Pandora to put the Music Genome Project directly in your hands
It's a new kind of radio –
stations that play only music you like
The Comsat Angels
After numerous incarnations and name changes, the Sheffield-based Radio Earth -- guitarist and vocalist Stephen Fellows, drummer Mik Glaisher, keyboardist Andy Peake, bassist Kevin Bacon -- found themselves opening for Pere Ubu in Newcastle. After the gig, the quartet realized that they had been blown off the stage and intimidated by the headliners' sense of focus and ability to confuse. Following a rethink, they came back as the less self-conscious Comsat Angels (the name referenced a short story by J.G. Ballard). They took a loan from Glaisher's father to record and release the Red Planet EP in 1979; BBC DJ John Peel, who was sent a copy, liked what he heard, requested a few more copies and booked the band for one of his famous Peel Sessions.
An unintrusive deal with Polydor allowed the band to make three stunning albums and pay back Mr. Glaisher, but the label didn't know how to handle the band and the more influential music journalists shied away for whatever reason, though the coverage the band did receive tended to be glowing. Only "Independence Day," from the first album, managed to chart in the U.K. The albums were not distributed in the States, but the band did support Gang of Four during some 1982 dates and were shocked at the reception they received -- the result of spins on college radio stations.
The Comsats left Polydor for Jive. 1983's Land, produced by Mike Howlett, was a marked departure and a conscious aim for the top of the charts. It backfired. 1985's 7 Day Weekend, produced by Miles Davis associate and funk-pop producer extraordinaire James Mtume, fared worse. (A parallel: imagine a fourth Wire album that resembles Level 42 much more than Wire.) 1986's Chasing Shadows, released on Island, came to life with some help from high-profile fan Robert Palmer; it too was second-rate compared to the first three albums, despite being less compromised, and the band was pleased enough to refer to it as their fourth album. Fire on the Moon, finished the following year and not released until 1990, was the band's lowest point, a very bland hard rock album credited to Dream Command.
At this point, the Comsats came to a full realization that their efforts at pleasing others -- label heads and consumers alike -- had been fruitless. They signed with RPM/Thunderbird in the U.K. and Caroline in the States, and released 1992's My Mind's Eye, a toughened updated of the 1979-1982 period. Unsurprisingly, it was met with commercial indifference and spotty critical praise. Kevin Bacon, who had started to produce other artists, left the band after its release. Terry Todd came in as Bacon's replacement on bass, and Simon Anderson was added as second guitarist. In 1995, the band issued The Glamour, their hardest album. It would also be their last.
Fellows released an album of ambient guitar instrumentals in 1997 and also managed Gomez. Bacon produced more (Finley Quaye, Longpigs, Ziggy Marley) and put together some of his own electronic material. Glaisher and Peake continued to work together sporadically. The first three Comsat Angels albums were issued on CD in 1995 but went out of print shortly thereafter; Renascent, a heroic independent label in the U.K. that had previously updated the catalog of the Sound, remedied the matter in 2006. Land and 7 Day Weekend were issued on CD by Connoisseur in 2001. ~ Andy Kellman

CANTON St. Lawrence Countys ban on smoking on its property is approaching quietly.
No one showed up at the first two stop smoking sessions county Public Health put on for employees.
I dont know what to expect, Public Health Director Susan J. Hathaway said. Its going to be interesting to see how people deal with it.
The law passed by the county Board of Legislators on Nov. 5 goes into effect Saturday.
Under the provisions of the regulation, the use of tobacco products on all property owned or leased by the county, including buildings, beach and shoreline areas, playing fields, parks, picnic areas, hiking trails and other recreational areas, is outlawed.
The law prohibits people from smoking in their vehicles on county property, but it exempts smoking in a privately owned motor vehicle that is entering or leaving county property.
It also exempts county roads and forests, except for multiuse trails.
At the time of passage, some legislators objected to the law as being unenforceable, but others said they expected employees and visitors to follow the rules under an honor system.
I think its just as important for the public to know so they dont get blindsided, said Benjamin R. Todd, tobacco program coordinator.
Signs will be posted explaining the ban, but no official will watch over the grounds and write tickets.
Linda Curry, a county employee who spoke against the law at a public hearing, said she thought the ban would have little effect on stopping employees from smoking since workers have not been able to light up inside county buildings for years.
Its not a big deal. If you cant, you cant, she said. You just abide by what they come up with.
Employees who smoke still may do so at lunch or during their breaks if they leave the property.
Its not going to make anybody quit, Mrs. Curry predicted.
The most difficult site for county workers could be the Canton Human Services Building because it is on busy Route 310, which has no sidewalk.
Some employees may be waiting for the ban to take effect before they quit or they may not have any interest in stopping, Mr. Todd said.
Smoking prohibitions are sometimes the push needed to get someone to quit, he said.
Stop smoking programs for county workers have been scheduled only for May 7 and May 21. Both sessions will take place from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Canton Human Services Building.
The county estimates that 25 to 30 percent of its employees smoke, in keeping with the approximation that 27 percent of county residents smoke, Ms. Hathaway said.
The legislation is a way for the county to demonstrate its commitment to a healthy workplace and environment, she said.
Smoking accounts directly for annual health care costs in New York of $8.17 billion. The portion covered by state Medicaid is $5.4 billion. A state residents state and federal tax burden from smoking-related government expenses is $883 per household, according to figures provided by Public Health.
Those figures do not include costs caused by exposure to secondhand smoke, smoking-related fires, smokeless tobacco use and cigar and pipe smoking, along with workplace productivity losses.

Are you still anxiously awaiting the next release of a Symbian 3 device that makes full use of the platform that Symbian has provided? With the Nokia X7-00, you will finally get the chance to check out a device that makes use of all of the features that are available on the unlocked cell phone. The phone has a very interesting, futuristic design that should make it appeal to younger crowds, but don't let the gimmicky design fool you; the Nokia X7-00 is very intriguing and looks like it could be a great smart phone, the first of its kind to utilize the Symbian^3 technology.
A video made its way online earlier in the day that has been quickly taken down from a number of different mirror sites that shows the phone playing a racing video game. The Symbian^3 differs from other Symbian devices because it features 4 home screens instead of the standard three that typically come with most Symbian devices. In the video that made its way online today it appears that the phone has four different speakers that allow you to play volume at a fairly high level, according to the person narrating the video.
The phone also features a 360x640 display which is fairly small when compared to other smart devices, as well as a microUSB port and an 8 megapixel camera. Unfortunately, the user the video claims that the battery can not be replaced by the user in the same way that the iPhone 4 unlocked can not be replaced. It will be interesting to see how much attention the Nokia X7-00 garners as we get closer to the release date of the device. Nokia has been quick to get the video removed from a number of different sites as it appears but you can expect the video to be widely available in the coming weeks.

Self-Assessment for the Year
The end of the year is a great time to take a look back at how you performed during the previous year. Did you meet most of your personal and professional goals? What did you do that worked out well and what could be improved upon? Using this information can help your prepare for the upcoming year and help you better understand how to most effectively use your valuable time. Here are a few tips that will help you focus and get the most out of your self-assessment.
- Study your successes. If you're like most folks, you've already done some analysis on the goals that you didn't accomplish. Instead of drowning yourself in what you could have done differently, spend more time looking at what you did right. It will help you in the next step.
- Have a plan for your evaluation. It's not enough to simply make a list and check off what you did well versus what could be improved. Make notes about the specific successes and look for patterns and processes you can apply to upcoming projects.
- Admit your mistakes. To avoid repeating past difficulties you have to understand what you can improve on. Having a sense of the mistakes you made during the year will assist you in analysing and planning better solutions if these challenges arise again during 2015.
- Be objective about yourself. Remember, you are the only person who will be reading this self-assessment – unless you choose to share it. Thus, there's no value in embellishing your accomplishments. Be honest about your progress and you will begin with a truer overall evaluation.
- Look for new connections. Think about local expertise in the areas you need to improve, then go out and make the connections. You set yourself up to learn some new skills, and you directly address your biggest areas of need.
Taking the time to review 2014 from your perspective can go a long way to ensuring an even better 2015. Using December as a time period to review the previous year will help you prepare in advance for the New Year, and help you hit the ground running in January.
Do you have any suggestions to share regarding self-assessment? Your idea could help your fellow Jaycees – so share them! Our Facebook and Twitter pages are always open.
Your Thanksgiving Primer – Fun Facts You Should Know
As we move towards the end of 2014, we come to the beginning of some folk's favorite time of year – holiday party season! As active young citizens, we know how to logistically plan and execute a great event. But once the decorations are up, the food has been ordered, and the guest list finalized, how do you make sure that you're on top of your best mingling game? The answer is simple – have a few key holiday facts ready to go as conversation starters. Not only will you build on your reputation as a knowledgeable person of obscure facts, but you may end up as the highlight of the social evening.
Here's a few easy to remember facts about Thanksgiving to get you started:
- The first t.v. dinner was introduced in 1953 when Swanson ordered too many frozen turkeys…about 26 tons worth. In true crisis management solution mode, they cut the turkeys into slices, added some trimmings, repackaged, and presto – dinners that would change our society.
- Benjamin Franklin unsuccessfully lobbied for the turkey as America's national bird. In comparison to the bald eagle, Franklin noted that the turkey was a, "much more respectable bird." Probably not as good eating, though.
- While Black Friday may be retail's biggest day, merchants are not alone. National plumbing giant Roto-Rooter reports the day after Thanksgiving as their busiest time of the year. The connection is fairly obvious.
- Only male turkeys, called toms, gobble. Female turkeys, named hens, are more inclined to cackle.
- Approximately 280 million turkeys are sold for Thanksgiving. This equates to about 7 billion pounds of meat with a total costs in the neighborhood of $3 billion.
As you sit down with family and friends this holiday, remember to appreciate how fortunate we are to be involved with an organization that not only improves us as individuals, but also works to build a better future for all in our community. Take a moment to be thankful for 2014 and look ahead to a brighter 2015…and don't be afraid to drop a few interesting Thanksgiving facts.
What do you have planned for the Thanksgiving holiday? Are you spending it with friends? Family? An intimate gathering or a big party? We want to hear about your plans on our Facebook and Twitter pages.
Why Be a Jaycee?
Recruiting can seem like a challenging endeavor for anyone coming up through the Junior Chamber ranks. When we look at recruiting, we need to think about how we ourselves may purchase the things we hold dear in life. In other words, what is the value versus the cost. In order to understand this, let's break it down a little.
Costs of Joining the Jaycees:
- Membership Dues – This is typically the first cost we encounter, and in recruiting, we often believe it is the hardest to overcome. However, if we look at common consumer spending habits across the United States for people within the 18-40 demographics, nothing could be farther from the truth. At an average of $50.00 annually, membership costs are significantly lower than what the demographic pays monthly in phone bills, coffee, eating out or bar nights, etc. Why do all of these seem more essential than a Jaycee membership?
- Time Commitments – This is one that comes as potential members know the organization (or at least think they know the organization), or they might know current active members in the organization. How many of us have posted about how stressed we are about an upcoming project, a board position, or other? Many times, people perceive the "work" and "time" as much more significant than it is, or at least has to be.
- Other Financial Costs – This can include events, conventions, donations, etc. Again, these costs are all voluntary, but can lead to an expanded Jaycee experience.
Value of Joining the Jaycees:
- Networks – Whether personal or professional, the networks within the Jaycee family should be valued above the cost of membership alone. There is something powerful to know that you are in an organization that crosses international borders, with more than 220,000 members globally. Getting involved helps us to create these connections, and build lasting friendships.
- Training – The type of training that the Junior Chamber provides can be a very costly endeavor in the professional world. Don't believe me? Google "Leadership Training" or "Project Management Training" and see for yourself.
- New Experiences – Ever had the chance to meet the President of the United States or a Fortune 500 company? What about learning about other cultures? Traveling? Running Projects? The opportunities and experiences that you can get through membership are limitless!
These are just a few examples of the benefits of joining the Junior Chamber movement. When we look at recruiting we need to remember our own purchasing behavior, and we can get a pretty good idea by asking a single question: Does the product have enough value to overcome the cost? Current members and alumni will be the first to tell you that our product (membership) value far exceeds the cost! To be effective in recruiting, we need to demonstrate the benefits of membership. We can start working together here. How have the Jaycee impacted your life? Share your story!
Interview with an Entrepreneur
If you've ever wanted to move on from your nine to five job, and chase the dream of starting your own business, there's some great motivation in an article from senior writer Catherine Clifford at Entrepreneur.com. She recently interviewed John Schnatter, the founder and CEO of global pizza giant Papa John's about how he got started, the best ways to motivate employees, and what it takes to create a culture of entrepreneurship.
Happy Fourth of July
The stars on the original American flag were in a circle so all the colonies would appear equal.
Benjamin Franklin proposed the turkey as the national bird, but was overruled by John Adams and Thomas Jefferson who pushed for the bald eagle.
The first official Fourth of July party was held at the White House in 1801.
Firecrackers were a big part of the early Independence Day celebrations. The horses were not amused.
July 4th only became a national holiday in 1941.
Almost 90% of American homes have an outdoor grill.
Over 150 million hot dogs are consumed on July 4th alone.
About 700 million pounds of chicken are purchased in the week leading up to the holiday.
July 4th is the biggest beer-selling holiday of the year.
Americans spend about $11 million on popsicles to enjoy during the celebration.
Approximately 41 million Americans will spend the holiday at other people's homes.
The US imports about $3.6 million of American flags each year, most from China.
One out of eight signers of the Declaration of Independence went to Harvard.
The total population of the United States in 1776 was about 2.5 million.
There are more than 14,000 fireworks displays across the country every July 4th.
Global Trends in Human Capital
The global consulting firm, Deloitte recently published a comprehensive study entitled, Global Human Capital Trends 2014: Engaging the 21st Century Workforce that, "…reveals the findings of a global survey of more than 2,500 business and HR leaders from 90+ countries – one of the largest talent management surveys of its kind. The survey results paint a clear picture of the challenges and opportunities organizations face in cultivating the talent needed to grow."
The information provided by Deloitte is broken down into easily useable sections including:
Relative urgency of human capital trends
Readiness for human capital trends
Top 5 human capital trends
Capability gap by human capital trend
Capability gap drill down
Respondent demographics
Users can check out the demographic profile of the companies that participated in the survey, and leverage the information to evaluate and plan within their own businesses. As an organization dedicated to the personal and professional growth of its members, the Jaycees are committed to learning and understanding the latest trends to assist in this personal development.
As you check out the wealth of information that Deloitte included in its report, do not miss the Top 10 Findings – a breakdown of the key survey results, with additional analysis by the survey authors. For example, here is Finding 1: Leadership, retention, HR skills, and talent acquisition are the top global trends in perceived urgency. These sound very similar to the skills an individual can learn through the Jaycee trainings and chapter resources.
We would like to hear your thoughts on the future. Share on our Twitter and Facebook pages what you think will be the most critical skills for young professionals as they enter an increasingly complex workforce.
What Does Your Workspace Clutter Say About You?
Every office has one: the guy or gal that always seems to be just a step or two behind, frazzled, messy and has a workspace that's cluttered. This co-worker could be producing the most amazing work and still, their reputation is going to remain as the messy, unorganized peer. Is that person lacking organizational skills?
If your desktop hasn't seen the light of day in a while, you might want to consider improving your organizational skills – not only for your own sanity, but to start doing damage control on your poor office reputation. Getting started is the hardest part and this is where the seasoned vets at the Jaycees come in.
First, you need to physically organize your space. Every paper on your desk should have a home, whether that home is a folder, filing cabinet or outbox. Have any Post-it notes that have lost relevance long ago? Trash 'em. Any crumbs or coffee cup rings on your workspace? Clean it ASAP. Once these tasks are complete, it will be a little easier to think.
Next, it's necessary to get to the root of the problem: why are you so darn messy? Are you lacking in time management skills? If this is the case, be sure to allocate yourself just a few minutes every day to help you keep a clean space.
Finally, it's time to delve into your digital disorder. If you haven't been diligently deleting unimportant interoffice emails (ahem, reply alls) or work-related items that are no longer important, it is time to clear that clutter as well. This will help cut down on time when you actually need to find something in your inbox. And this is where you can get the extra time you need to organize daily! Funny how things work, right?
Just remember that you are not decluttering just because it isn't easy on the eyes. Improving your organizational skills will undoubtedly help you in the workplace AND it will give your co-workers and boss a much better impression (hello, promotion!). Do you have any organizational tips of your own? Visit our Facebook or Twitter pages and let us know!
Improving Leadership Skills through Education
As members of a professional organization like the Jaycees, we tend to cultivate different skills through our social interactions with each other and in the workplace. However, is there a certain point we reach that we can no longer just count on these interactions to improve our skills? While we one never stops improving, one of the most effective ways to improve leadership skills is through education.
What is your leadership style? The best way to start improving your leadership skills is to understand the best way for you to lead. There are many quizzes out there that can help evaluate your dominant skills and determine how they help or hinder your leadership abilities. (Educate yourself here to find out the areas in which you need assistance.)
Learn more about communication. We don't doubt that most Jaycee members are able to effectively communicate with one another, but how do you fare on providing one-on-one communication? Are you able to take nonverbal cues from peers/coworkers/team members that could influence your effectiveness as a leader? Communication is key when it comes to becoming a better leader so make sure that you are aware of what is required of you.
Be motivating. How do great leaders get their team to spring into action? Motivational leadership, that's how! Check out some great tips to help yourself learn a little more about how to inspire those you lead here.
Consider continuing education. If you are interested in making a career out of being a great leader, perhaps you should consider furthering your education, With an additional bachelor's degree or a master's degree, one can become a ninja-level leader.
One great thing about being a member of the Jaycees is that we never stop learning, whether we simply listen and learn from our peers or we take the time to fine-tune the skills that we wish to improve. If you are interested in learning more about becoming a Jaycee, contact us today!
Building Blocks: How Large Does Your Network Need to Be?
You've heard it before and you'll hear it again – "It's not what you know, it's who you know." Of course, your network can't make up for lack of knowledge or capability, but they can help get you an interview when you might otherwise not. While building a network, it's important to keep in mind that it's the quality of the connections you make that matter – not the quantity.Your network should and will continue to grow as long as it is beneficial to you – however, handing out business cards at any chance you get will earn you no favors down the road. Here are some simple guidelines to follow to keep increasing your network with quality industry professionals:
Do something nice for someone in your network at least once a week. Yup, being nice is a way to increase your network. But how do you grow your network if you focus on the people that you already know, you ask? It's simple! People talk and if you do enough selfless acts (we're not talking moving mountains here – more like bringing in donuts, passing along a job opportunity to someone that may be a fit, exceeding expectations on deadlines, etc.) for others, it will become apparent and those people will remember you when speaking with others in their network. Do unto others, right?
Make an effort to meet new people in your industry at least once a month. Again, you're hearing us right – just once a month. It could be as simple as attending your local Jaycee chapter meetings, a business-women networking event, an entrepreneur meetup group or more. Not only does this give you the opportunity to enjoy after-hours time with your peers, you also are getting your name and face out there while enjoying a nice night out.
Maintain existing relationships. Ok, so this final bit of advice is a mixture of the first two but important nonetheless. Making contacts is important, but it's really just the tip of the iceberg. Cultivating those relationships will show that you are invested in them, giving you the benefit of the doubt when an opportunity arises. Remember that it is the tortoise that wins the race, not the hare.
Networking is all about building relationships not increasing the amount of connections you have on LinkedIn. Would you honestly put yourself out there of an industry professional that you know nothing about other than their business card credentials? Be in the forefront of everyone's mind for the right reasons. Not a member of the Jaycees? You're missing out on a great opportunity to create some meaningful networking connections! Visit our website to find out more about our organization and how to join.
The Jaycees Through the Years: Charles Lindbergh
Over the ninety-three years of the United States Junior Chamber – or the Jaycees – has been an organization, we've seen some very bright and famous names become members of our organization. Did you know that before he was the first person in history to travel on a solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean he became a member of the Jaycees? Together, the Jaycees and Charles Lindbergh helped make history.
Pre-Jaycees, Charles Lindbergh attended engineering school at the University of Wisconsin – that is before he dropped out to learn how to fly! And boy, are we lucky he did. After joining the Jaycees, Lindbergh graduated from Nebraska Aircraft Corporation in 1925 at the top of his class. No surprises there!
With the Jaycees' national project focusing on the development of aviation, it was only a natural pairing for Lindbergh and our professional networking organization to work together to help improve how we are using flight to the country's advantage. Before the flight from New York to Paris, Lindbergh and other Jaycee members collaborated to develop what we now know as our current mail system: airmail.
After that, the rest is history (no pun intended). Lindbergh wowed the world when he achieved ultimate fame by completing the first trans-Atlantic solo flight. He eventually settled down, married and had a family. Following a long period of war, drama and family tragedies, the Lindberghs finally found solace in travel and permanently took up residence in Maui, HI until his death in 1974.
Not only did Charles Lindbergh do so much to increase recognition for the United States Junior Chamber, he also was a pioneer in aviation and many of the luxuries we know today would not be possible without his knowledge.

It has not been the best season for the Carbon Dinos, yet they have showed a lot of promise at times.
However one of those times was not last Friday night when the team lost to the 2-8 Delta Rabbits in Millard County 66-55.
The Dinos went into this game with confidence that they could beat the Delta squad who had the worst preseason record in Region 8. Maybe that confidence was the problem or maybe Delta had just played a tough preseason schedule, but somehow the Rabbits were able to come through winning their first league victory of the year.
The first period brought a shock to the Dinos. The Rabbits were able to out score the eastern Utah contingent 17-7 and take a big lead right off the bat.
However, in the second period Carbon roared back with Matt Jewkes leading the way as they almost copied what Delta had done in the first period with a 16-8 mashing, which turned the Rabbit defense into stew.
At the half Delta led 25-23, but Carbon seemingly had the momentum going in their favor.
Carbon came out well, but Delta matched the scoring in the third period and actually pulled a little ahead scoring 16 points to the Dinos 13 in the quarter.
Once again the Dinos made a run in the fourth, but Delta matched it and them some pulling out a big 25 points in the fourth quarter led by Dallin Jeffrey.
Matt Jewkes led Carbon with 15 points, while Jake Wood put in 11.
The Dinos now face North Sanpete in Mount Pleasant on Friday night.
