Access to critical information is the foundation of public works professionals' ability to deliver creative projects and services better, safer, more sustainable, and cost effectively, says Stephanie Reid. So with the vast amount of information that's available online, she muses, what could be better than the Internet?
Twenty-five years ago, every public works office kept reference libraries full of manuals pertaining to transportation, stream restoration, concrete, and every municipal engineering topic in between. Construction specifications and statutes, guidelines, and industry standards were only available in print formats. "I could never have enough books, catalogues, or magazines," says Reid.
"Today, we may keep a few of our favorite college reference books, but for the most part it's all online," she says. "At our fingertips is the most amazing collection of relevant information available—including the most current versions of specifications and standard drawings, newly published and past news articles, expert discussion threads, municipal codes and state statutes, examples of master plans, and requests for proposals published by other municipalities, just to name a few valuable Internet searches."

What Happens If I Get Hurt On the Job?
Your employer must provide a safe workplace. However, accidents occur in even the safest workplaces. If you are injured on the job tell your manager or a human resources representative immediately to ensure your rights are protected.
Workers' Compensation
Workers' Compensation is a state-administered insurance benefit for workers who suffer work-related injury or illness. The injury or illness need not occur in the employer's workplace if it is incurred during the performance of work duties (for example, while making deliveries for the employer).
In order to be eligible for Workers' Compensation benefits your work-related injury or illness must prevent you from returning to work at your usual wage. In some cases, spouses and children of a worker who dies in a work-related accident are eligible to receive Workers' Compensation benefits.
Workers' Compensation can take several forms:
- Cash Benefits: are paid to claimants after seven days of total or partial disability due to a work-related injury or illness. The amount you are eligible for is based on your average weekly wage for the previous year.
- The following formula is used to calculate benefits:
- 2/3 x average weekly wage x % of disability = weekly benefit
The amount you are paid also relies on when you were injured.
- 2/3 x average weekly wage x % of disability = weekly benefit
- Supplemental Benefits: are available to claimants who were injured before January 1, 1979. This additional cash payment helps offset cost-of-living increases over time.
- Medical Benefits: costs of necessary medical care directly related to the original injury or illness, or to recovery from the disabling condition, are covered by Workers' Compensation. The treating health care provider must be authorized by the Workers' Compensation Board, except in an emergency situation.
- Death Benefits: if an employee dies in an on-the-job accident, the surviving spouse and/or minor children are entitled to weekly cash benefits. The amount is equal to two-thirds of the deceased worker's average weekly wage for the year before the accident.
(Additionally, Social Security Disability Benefits may be payable if the worker is permanently unable to work or unable to work for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, see www.ssa.gov for more information.)
Workers' Compensation is a no fault insurance benefit, meaning that the employer may NOT decrease the amount paid to a worker even if the injury or illness was the result of worker carelessness. Benefits may be denied if you were intoxicated or under the influence of illegal drugs when the workplace accident occurred.
Independent Contractors are not considered employees, so are not eligible for Workers'Compensation benefits.For more information, see the New York State Workers' Compensation website at www.wcb.state.ny.us.

Two for three from our best pitching prospects.
Hopefully Rosenbaum can put his terrible June behind him (6.27 ERA, yikes).
I don't know what to make of Karns. He's 24 and still only in A ball. Does his stuff translate to higher levels? Or is he just a case of benefiting from being a big fish in a small pond?
And Meyer has gotten much better with each start. But I guess it's hopeless to expect a promotion from him if Goodwin and Skole haven't yet.
Why bring up someone who CAN pitch when you can trot out Matt "10 run" Grace every 5 days? And Skole sits in Hagerstown while the likes of Kevin – Michael Burgess the second – Keyes strikes out four times a game, or Michael "I'm a big prospect why?" Taylor are still in Potomac. The rationale behind the transactions – or lack thereof – is simply idiotic.
If you don't know why Michael Taylor is in Potomac, then you just don't understand minor league player development.
Think sometimes before writing.
OK expert, explain it. Come say it to my face. Think before getting your ignorant ass kicked.
Really man, threatening to confront someone because they challenged you about an opinion of yours, lets grow up a little here, I'm 17 and wouldn't do that, maturity level heightened please. Now lets get back to prospect discussion!
It's usualy a good idea to leave the presumption you're of age to use a computer.
I am a bit confused as well when it comes to the Nationals and their minor league development system. Case in point, Mesa breaks spring training to Hagerstown. Gets off to a horrible start and is sent to GCL, not Auburn but GCL. Confused! Nationals GCL roster is the oldest roster in the league. GCL is "glorified high school baseball" but the Nationals have 21 – 24 years old playing everyday and losing! Play Valdez, Jennings, Williams and other "teen" players in the GCL and alot them to fail as the Astros are doing with Carberra (.167), as the Twins are doing with Bruxton (.063) and other organizations are doing with their "teen age players " Confused! Skole is on his way to being the Minor League Player of the Year, why is he still in Hagerstown? Confused! Goodwin is a million dollar baby and is having a great year! Why is he still in Hagerstown? Confused! Move Martinson and Walters to "dubs" or "trips" and let them gain the experienced needed. Confused! Soriano a 25 year old ????? in Potomac. Why? Confused! Alvarez a 27 year old ???? (I quess) in Auburn. Wow! WHY? Confused! We must prepare for LIFE after Strasburg, Harper and hopely Rendon!
Super clever
You have to understand that Mark L is, at least in his opinion, the resident expert here. Although for the life of me I've seen next to no evidence of this. Arrogence usually wins the day.

In his catechesis for his Wednesday General Audience today in St. Peter's Square, Pope Francis reminded pilgrims that the call of Christ is for his people to be united, not living in division. Division among Christians and within communities of Christians does not come from God, but the Pope said that the Devil is the source of such strife. "While we, the members of the Church, are sinners, the unity and holiness of the Church arise from God and call us daily to conversion," the Holy Father said, declaring that the will of God "is that we grow in our capacity to welcome one another, to forgive and to love, and to resemble Jesus."
The Pope said that the holiness of the Church can be seen when we "recognize the image of God in one another," and he warned people not to allow envy toward each other or personal antipathies divide their parish church communities. The Pope further said that people should seek the Lord's forgiveness "for the times when we have given rise to division or misunderstanding in our communities and may our relationships mirror more beautifully and joyfully the unity of Jesus and the Father."

University of Massachusetts men's lacrosse alum Kevin Leveille (2000-03) broke the Major League Lacrosse all-time goals record with a hat trick, including the game-winner in double-overtime, as Rochester defeated Chesapeake on Friday, 8-7. Molly Shunney with Major League Lacrosse caught up with Leveille to talk about his 271 goals, being a veteran leader on the Rattlers and his chance to make the Team USA travel roster for the upcoming World Championship.
"The first double overtime in Major League Lacrosse history took place Thursday night in a matchup between the charged Rochester Rattlers and the buckled down Chesapeake Bayhawks. As if the back-and-forth momentum wasn't exciting enough, Rattlers attackman Kevin Leveille earned yet another hat trick, scoring six goals in the last two games.
Let's keep in mind that this was no ordinary hat trick. In a tenacious battle to the finish, Leveille's third goal of the game solidified the Rattlers win and rewrote the record books. Leveille earned the top spot for the MLL All-Time goal scoring record, previously held by Tim Goettelman. With that, he was able to tie Goettelman for All-Time game-winning goals. Currently in his 10th season, Leveille sits at the top of a couple of extremely accomplished lists. In a phone Q&A, we were able to hear a few thoughts from the noteworthy veteran..."

|Jays Clip Vandals
OMAHA, Neb.—The Creighton Bluejays scored first and most often Sunday at Morrison Stadium. The Jays scored three times in the first-half and held on for the 6-1 victory over the young Vandals.
"When we do the things we need to, we do them well," head coach Pete Showler stated. "When we get down in the game we have to keep our heads up and plow through it. We need to be accountable and work as a team. We cannot keep giving up three or four goals a game and expect to be in a position to win."
Idaho (0-5-0) got on the board in the 63rd minute off the foot of freshman Alyssa Pease. Pease launched a shot from 25 yards out, beating Creighton keeper Danielle Rice with a shot targeting the inside left post.
The first half was played even-keel for the opening 15 minutes with both teams getting two shots off in the early action. In the 16th minute Creighton (3-2-0) found the back of the net and began to take charge of the game's momentum. Amanda Pease was awarded a yellow card after taking down a Creighton forward. On the ensuing free kick Kelsey O'Donnell beat Marina Siegl with a shot just inside the left post from 23 yards out.
The Jays got on the board again with a goal in the 37th minute. A blink of the eye later Kyla Booker notched the game-winner in the 38th minute, extending the lead to 3-0 going into halftime.
Idaho will look to right the ship when they return to Guy Wicks Field on Friday to face Eastern Washington and UNLV on Sunday.

1. Don't buy candy: Stop! Don't buy Halloween candy yet! On Oct. 31, it will go on sale for half-price. And you won't be tempted to eat it beforehand, either. I know, I'm no fun.
2. Free pumpkin stuff: Go to PumpkinMasters.com to print out free carving patterns for your jack-o'-lantern, free recipes for your Halloween party, or things to make with the pumpkin you scoop out. Or just Google "pumpkin patterns."
3. Sell that suit: If you sell back your old adult Halloween costume to a Buffalo Exchange resale store, they'll give you a $10 coupon toward your next purchase. They must agree to buy it, though – and they can be picky. There are numerous locations in L.A. and Orange County.
4. Dark deal: To save money on the Dark Harbor Halloween haunt at the Queen Mary, buy your ticket online at QueenMary.com and arrive between 7 and 8 p.m., when you can get in for $20. They do charge a $5-per-order online ticket handling fee. And have someone drop you off, if possible, to avoid paying a frightening $17 for parking. Group tickets are $5 cheaper, so rustle up some friends.
5. Knott's haunt: Go to Knott's Scary Farm now, because prices rise the closer you get to Halloween. Weeknights are cheaper, and so is Oct. 31. If you're thinking about getting a season pass to Knott's next year, buy it now so you can save $6 on the haunt tickets. Get a ride or carpool, because parking costs a terrifying $20.

|Chateau Montelena Winery
|<< Chateau Boswell Winery
|Chateau Potelle Winery >>
Gotta go to this one
(Posted by: dkarch on 07-08-2008 @ 8:10 AM)
We were told by our tour guide at ZD Winery to head north for a day to check out Montelena, Bennett Lane, August Briggs, and Vincent Arroyo. We got to the first two and were EXTREMELY pleased with our trip to Montelena.
Of course it's famous for its 1974 Chardonnay and the Judgment of Paris. But it's a beautiful setting in Calistoga. The hills are more dramatic than further south and the winery is set into the hills giving it a mountain castle/chateau feel. Which I guess it is.
We had a nice tasting. Like at Rubicon we were impressed by how many of the wines we genuinely liked. And though the reds were obviously young, they had a lot of complexity and flavor to them - very fruit heavy, but balanced on the pallette. The Estate Zinfandel, in particular, was unique in that the spice and earthiness blended nicely, without overpowering, the dark fruits. The Chardonnay we loved - just a little oak with a lot of citrus flavor.

Effective ways of unlocking the iphone 4
In the present world mobile phones become very popular in and around the world. No person is without using the mobile phones. There are many facilities in the mobile phones. We people are very fond of using phones and sometimes we get addicted to mobile phones. Phones become very popular in the minds of teens and adults. There are many mobile companies exist in the present world. The iphone become very famous and are considered to be one of the most familiar and the largest companies in the world. We might be thinking that unlocking is very easy but special software is installed in the device. Only if unlock iphone 4 the device we can use our phone.
While purchasing from the store our phone will be locked for specific carrier. Unlocking the iphone is of two types they are as follows
' Hardware unlock
' Software unlock
Hardware unlock is nothing but we have to open the phone that we do not recommend anyone tries unless they have got pretty extension in some kind of electrical engineering and certain modification has to be done in the hard ware to unlock our phone. This unlock iphone 4 seems to be tricky and cost effective. Software unlock are very easy and can be done freely. This seems to be like jail breaking and are safer because modification is not necessary in software unlock. We will be thinking what jail breaking is about? Jail breaking is a process by which an iphone firmware is modified to allow unsigned code to run to gain access to file that Apple will not normally allow us to access. This adds additional application to our iphone such as Cydia that will allow us to download many third party applications unavailable through the application store
Unlocking is mainly related to Jailbreaking. We need to jail break our phone before unlocking the phone. Unlock iphone 4 means breaking the SIM card and allowing the iphone to communicate with other phones. It is not that we should not access only with the apple application we can also use any application available in the store. Iphone allow us to access two networks namely version and AT&T. after unlocking we can communicate with other in the local region or people around the world.
While unlocking we should carefully follow the rules and regulation carefully else our mobile will get damaged. If you have warranty card then there is no problem and can ask them to solve the problem else we will charged for it. Official upgrade is very difficult for installing and in some cases it will work out but we will not feel convenient and seems to be problematic.
Iphone will work normally and smoothly even if we have unlocked it. Standard operation of the iphone will be effective and will have the same feature and the function even after the modification. This procedure seems to be more advantageous when compared to the other phones. Unlock iphone 4 are already in contract with the network that is not available in their brand. So people who ever uses this phone need not go in for search of any carriers and spend extra amount on it and Sticking with their existing network contract would be more economical.
The person who often needs to use the phone wants to unlock the phone mainly for the travelers. Suppose if they go abroad they can use the local SIM card and they need not worry about the roaming charges and want to pay only the local phone charges. This helps them to steep the international roaming charges when they call to their family members or to the office to know about the official works.
Before you unlock iphone 4 read the rules and regulations given by the company else go in for the search of the website regarding unlocking facilities and get to gather the information's correctly or ask help from your friends before going in for unlocking and get cleared if you have any doubts. After all these think well and so in for the process step by step else you will miss the details and that might lead to risk. Sometimes your iphone will get damage. Make use of the internet and unlock iphone 4 and get the benefits of it and have fun by connecting people around you, hear songs, play games, chat with your friends, have a video cal with your friends in abroad and enjoy using iphone 4.

Dutchess of Dearborn
11/01/2007 - By Tobi Tesoriero
Dolores Luccarelli - The Dutchess of Dearborn
Dolores Luccarelli Celebrates the Circle of Life
Just back from the wedding of her granddaughter in Italy, Dolores Luccarelli is simply glowing, and her joy about the event sets the tone for this interview. It soon becomes apparent that this enthusiasm and love of life and of family is an integral component of her personality. Dolores is grounded and focused, with her family as her center.
Dolores Luccarelli is the embodiment of the finest characteristics that, as human beings, we all hope to possess. She is quite thoughtful and philosophical, pondering the eternal questions of life and its cycles. She is extremely hardworking and takes on the responsibility for her business and family obligations with enthusiasm and grace. She is charming, and is dedicated to helping with various philanthropic causes.
She, along with her late husband Dominic, founded Dearborn Markets (formerly Dearborn Farms) on Route 35 in Holmdel; the business has always been a family affair. Dolores' in-laws farmed the property, then Dominic followed suit. Dearborn started selling from a farm stand on the side of the road. Through the years the company has responded to changes in the market regarding production, acquisition, and sales.
Today Dearborn Markets remains a family-run business; Dolores' three children have joined their mother, each handling a different component of the business. From the original farm stand, Dearborn has grown to three different stores on the site and has become an area landmark. Dolores has seen the area change, from mostly agricultural to more suburban.
Living In Holmdel spoke with Dolores Luccarelli about her business and her life.
LIH: Where were you born?
DL: In Warren, Pennsylvania, in 1935.
LIH: And how did you end up in this area?
DL: My father was a welder during World War II. He was transferred to a company in Perth Amboy, then he worked in Matawan. We lived in Newark for a year in an apartmentI vaguely remember that. I was about four. Then we moved to a little bungalow in Matawan. When we got home from school we [my sister and I] would do homework, do chores, etc. I often think if my circumstances were different, what person would I be today? Times were rough; we struggled. My daughter once said, "Mom, maybe you would not be the person you are today if you had not experienced those things." As an adult I admire my mother; as a child I did not always appreciate her.
LIH: How long have you been in Holmdel?
DL: Since I married my husband, Dominic, about 49 years ago. We lived in Centerville, and my daughter is now living in that house. My sons also live in Holmdel.
LIH: Can you share some memories of the area?
DL: Everything has changed. My husband used to say, when we were "keeping company," if you drove through Matawan and sneezed you missed the whole town! It was just a street. Everything has changed. This [Holmdel] was all farms when I married Dominic. When we moved to Centerville there were six houses. Now on his family's property there are, I think, 73 homes. It is just all built up; it was all farms and wide open spaces. Route 35 was a two-lane highway. It was very rural.
LIH: How long was your husband's family in the area?
DL: Well, let me think. Dominic was born on that farm and would be 75, and there were children born before that...I guess you would have to go back 80 to 90 years ago. My father-in-law came over to this country when he was about 12 years old. He had family in Staten Island, and then he headed this way. He bought about 100 acres in Holmdel to farm.
LIH: How old were you when you became involved with Dearborn?
DL: I got married in 1958. Dominic's parents had a market on [Route] 35 years before that. Dominic had been farming. At that time there were brokers in New York and you would drive a truck into market; a buyer then would buy the produce. They would get a percentage of every box that was brought in. It came to the point that they were taking money. I will give you an example. My husband had a box of peppers, he would get a call from the houses [brokers] saying what the price for peppers was per box. You plow the ground, you plant the seed, you hire, you pack the product, you have the box, bag a bushel, truck it to market, and then it gets sold. That day they said the boxes would bring in 75 cents; that is what we were getting. My husband got into the tractor, drove into the field and chopped up every pepper plant that we had on the property. He said there had to be a way that we could make some money without having to go through all that.
LIH: What prompted you to become involved?
DL: I had been working in an office since I graduated from school, so this was very new to me. I was a clerk typist, and then moved up in that world. I had loved what I was doing. So then my husband wanted me home anyway [my life began for me when I met my husband]. So I helped himI packed in the barn. He came to me and said we would open a little place and sell stuff there. I would be there most of the time myself, as he was working on the farm. I was a little scared. Frankie and Lucille were not even in school yet, so it was probably in 1962. We sold tomatoes, peppers, onions, potatoes. We sold right on the highway and had a little refrigerator for heads of lettuce. A cigar box was our first cash register. I was so scared, as I never had done this before. We had a little kitchen inside and a sandbox for the kids. That's one thing; everything was okay as long as my kids were with me. Even on the farm, when I packed in the barn I had them with me. I had one in the playpen and one in the carriage. Maybe that is how they became involved. My son Frank was raised in this atmosphere; by the time he was 4 years old, I would give him a sandwich to bring to his dad on the farm and he would spend the day with him, with the men, on the tractor, taking a nap. My youngest son was born much later.
LIH: When you first started out, where did you get your product? Was it homegrown, local?
DL: Some stuff was grown on the farm, some stuff we got from the New York market. We'd bring that back and sell it; we had apples, peaches, melons, tomatoes, squash, eggplants
LIH: Do you still grow?
DL: No, mostly everything is brought in from the New York market. It is just impossible. Farming is expensive; you work with the elements. You put this product in the ground and hope it will produce. You have rain, dry seasons, and bugsdifferent elements. For a long time in the beginning the store helped where the farm was losing. We found it was better to let go of the farming end and stay in the business and buy quality and quantity produce from around the world, although my husband loved the growing aspect. Actually, my son, Frank, has inherited that from his father. We just had figs that he grew. He has a grapevine as well. He has the deer coming in; we see the cycle of the earth. The planting, the growing, the animals, the survivalit is amazing. We enjoyed that from being on the farm.
LIH: Is the barn that you mentioned earlier the structure that now stands as Dearborn?
DL: We created that look of a barn. The first building was just a little stand with a couple of overhead doors. They wanted that barn to have that old-world rustic look. They recently have expanded and have redone. As part of the process they took some old photographs and blew them up, of my husband as a young man in his truck, pickers in the field, pictures of my husband and his sisters when they were little in their father's truck. They are actual pictures from the farm. It is our way of sharing our history.
LIH: How did you decide on the name Dearborn?
DL: I think that when the property was bought that was the name on the property. What we had done when we first were farming as a married couple, we had taken a picture for a logo. It was a woman standing holding a baby. It was that perspective. Then we went over to doing the pictures with the barn to identify our market.
LIH: Had anyone had agricultural training or was it more learning from being on the farm?
DL: Learning from Dominic's father. Dominic learned from him. Frank went to [agricultural] school briefly. He felt he learned more from his dad.
LIH: Who were your customers when the business began?
DL: The customers were just the people. There were other farms in the area selling as well. John Hendrickson was also in the business; he was a mentor for my husband and me. He said the more businesses that come up, the better you will be and the better it will be because you will always stay on top of things. You can sell stones to someone if you know how to do it. Now today in garden centers they do that! He helped us along. When we started with the food he suggested to sell plants as well; we would dig them up for people. How things have progressed amazes me. My first experience with the customer you don't want was a gentleman that pulled up in a big black car. He was very well dressed. He had a coat, a hat. We had little boxes with tomatoes; tomatoes were about 29 cents a pound then. He said, in this nasty voice, "Well, I guess I am going to pay for your trip to Florida this year." And I started crying. I thought, why would he say something like that? Then he apologized. My husband told me not to allow that againgo with it, don't let it get to you. People don't see the bills you have to pay, how you had to work, how you had to sacrifice to get there. I learned.
LIH: Who is the customer base now?
DL: The same, just multiplied. People come from Staten Island, Perth Amboy; I am always surprised they know we exist. We have always tried to maintain that family atmosphere. You can come into our store, get a cup of coffee, walk around, and talk to people; they see their neighbors and we don't push them out of the aislesthey can spend as much time as they want. I've seen two generations of families shopping here. It is kind of scary, but nice. It is a lovely testament. If you give the customer good quality at a reasonable price and you make it a pleasant surrounding, people will come back. There are enough customers for every business. You try to keep up and do a good job. I often used to say I wonder what my purpose was in this world. I looked at my husband's life and I saw what his purpose was. I used to be Dominic's wife, Frankie's, Lucille's, and DJ's mom; but who was Dolores? I remembered who she was before she got married. I really believe when I look at my kids and my grandchildren that that was my purpose. I am so proud of these people. They are amazing. My kids, my family, my friends, my grandchildren, I am just so blessed. I may not have my husband in my life anymore. But when I see my family he is still here.
LIH: When did your husband pass away?
DL: He passed away 11 years ago. I truly believe that he was here for a reason. Everything he did and accomplished was for a reason. And when he was done, he went on. I miss him dearly. I watch my sons and grandchildren; what greater gift can that be? He was the most amazing man I have ever known; the kindest and truest gentleman, true to his word. His word was his bond. He was humblehe took care of his family and was good to his friends. He felt you do it because you should. There was always food on our table; there were fisherman who would bring us fish or butchers would come with meat, and they would take vegetables - we always managed. Sometimes we had to borrow from the piggybank to get shoes for the kids. But we always had a roof over our heads. And he always said it would be okay. It is my job to worryyou raise the kids. He was liked and well-respected. He was a good human being.
LIH: Is there anything else the farm is involved in?
DL: We have programs at different times of the year for children. I remember working in the greenhouse for the hotbeds. It would be a box of sand and soil. You made a row, placed a seed, and covered it and went back in a few days and saw the earth moved. You go back in another couple of days and you see a little sprout. I saw my granddaughter Dominique being born; I can see the analogy of life growth. It is a miracle. It's the whole chain. We used to have children from the inner city visit. There was nothing more spectacular than the look on these children's faces when they were picking apples. The joy of seeing those children was beyond belief.
LIH: Can you give a summary of the business today?
DL: I never in my wildest dreams ever thought it would come to where it is today. It is a credit to DJ and Frank, as they have the vision that their father had. They look ahead and stay with the times. Frank loves the greenhouse - he has the farmer in him. DJ is personable and works well with people. He is the PR person, doing the golf outings. They each have the special qualities they need to keep this business going for as long as they wantthey have the vision. The greenhouse extended our business and is just a beautiful place. We are actually going to have a reception for my granddaughter Nicole's wedding there, as it is such a lovely setting. I don't know if it will go to the next generation, but it has gone way beyond whatever dreams we had. I also want to mention that my daughter is still part of the business. Lucille went to college for special and regular education, but then decided to work for Dearborn. She has a wonderful head; she is a very bright woman. She is my best friend. She had taken off a few years, but now her children are in school so she is back at work a few days a week helping with the business.
LICN: What interests or activities do you have outside of Dearborn Market?
DL: I was involved in Bayshore Hospital, the Foundation Board, the Board of Trustees, the Hospital BoardI resigned from those this year as I want to spend more time with my family and grandchildren and do some traveling. I received the Bayshore Hospital Humanitarian Award, and I was honored by the Red Cross several years agoand Dominic, Frank, and I were honored by Deborah Hospital as humanitarians. I like staying in the background, quietly doing things. Kiwanis has a charity golf event every year in my husband's honor; they do a lot of work for children. The Rainbow Foundationany money they raise on the golf outing I also donate to their causes for the children. Michael's Feat is another charity organization that I support. I think that is what it is all about. It is important to give. I am not the best committee member, as I tend to be outspoken. I also sponsor a Day at the Races for cancer fundraising at Bayshore.
LICN: Any lighter pursuits?
DL: The Count Basie Theater; I love to knit, to read, and I like being with friends and family more than anything.
LICN: What haven't I asked that would complete the picture of who you are or that you would simply like to let folks know?
DL: Oh, I don't knowpeople should take stock of their lives and see what they can do for others. I look in the paper and see countries where children are dying. I still can't believe children go hungry. I know that probably sounds a little corny. But there should be more people worrying about that and looking outside the box. It is a big world out there; there is a lot we can do.

Dec. 29, 2011
Saturday's game will air live on FSN. Jim Watson and Mary Murphy will call the action. Arizona women's basketball games can be heard live on KTUC AM 1400 in Tucson. All broadcasts will start 15 minutes prior to tip-off for the pregame show. Derrick Palmer (play-by-play) and Molly O'Mara (color) will call the action this season. Visit ArizonaWildcats.com for all of your live stats and video needs.
Arizona and ASU will meet for the 81st time on Saturday and ASU holds a 49-31 advantage over UA. The Sun Devils have won 10 of the last 11 match-ups. Last season, for the first time since Jan. 26, 2005, Arizona got a win against Arizona State in front of a home crowd of 3,310 fans. The Wildcats beat the Sun Devils, 73-61.
Arizona is 11-1 to open the season, including a 5-0 record on the road, with the only loss coming at the hands of BYU at a neutral site. The Wildcats are paced by junior guard Davellyn Whyte's 18.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. She is backed up by sophomore forward Erica Barnes' 12.1 points and 8.8 rebounds per contest. Senior guard Shanita Arnold hands out 5.3 assists per game to go with her 9.3 points. UA is shooting 42.4 percent from the field, 39.8 percent from three-point range and 69 percent from the free throw line.
Arizona State is 9-2 to open the season, including a 7-0 home record, with losses coming vs. Rutgers and at DePaul. The Sun Devils are paced by senior forward Kimberly Brandon's 10.2 points and 7.1 rebounds. She is backed up by junior guard Micaela Pickens' 8.0 points and 5.5 boards per contest. ASU is shooting 42.3 percent from the field, 29.5 percent from three-point range and 61.6 percent from the free throw line.
Arizona ranks in the top three in the Pac-12 in three-point field goal percentage (.398), turnover margin (+2.1), offensive rebound percentage (.395) and three-point field goals made (7.2). Individually, Whyte ranks No. 3 in scoring (18.9), No. 6 in free throw percentage (.789), No. 5 in steals (2.4), No. 4 in three-point field goal percentage (.443) and No. 2 in three-point field goals made (2.6). Barnes in No. 7 in rebounding (8.8), No. 9 in free throw percentage (.750) and No. 2 in offensive rebounds (4.3). Arnold ranks No. 2 in assists (5.3) and No. 3 is assist/turnover ratio (2.1).
With its current 11-1 record and only loss at the hands of BYU, Arizona is off to the best start in program history since the 1999-2000 season. That squad went 12-1 before losing to Stanford, 98-95, in Tucson. Last year, for the first time since the 2003-04 season, the Wildcats were 11-2 to start the season. UA dropped non-conference games to eventual national champion Texas A&M and at Nevada before winning its first two conference contests.
Arizona has played seven of its 12 games away from Tucson this season. The Wildcats are 5-0 on the road and 1-1 at a neutral site with wins at Georgia Southern, Georgia State, New Mexico State, BYU-Hawai'i and Arkansas-Pine Bluff. The last time UA won five-straight road games was Dec. 29, 1999-Feb. 6, 2000, a five-game streak that included wins at Louisville (80-70), Washington State (83-68), Washington (96-85), Oregon (73-66) and Oregon State (65-49). That streak ended with an 80-68 loss at USC on Feb. 17, 2000.
Last time out, the Wildcats ended the non-conference portion of the 2011-12 schedule with a 62-58 win against UNLV. Whyte led all scorers with 21 points on 7-of-17 from the field and 3-of-7 from three-point range. Arizona also got double-digit scoring efforts from senior guard Reiko Thomas (13) and Arnold (10). Recording her most productive minutes of the season, Thomas also had seven rebounds, four assists and three steals in 33 minutes of play. Arnold finished with four assists, three rebounds and two steals.
Saturday's contest means there is a potential half point on the line in the State Farm Territorial Cup Series. The Cats currently lead the Sun Devils, 3.5 to 1.5. Since the 2009-10 season, UA and ASU's head-to-head match-ups took on an added bonus with the inception of the State Farm Territorial Cup Series. The State Farm Territorial Cup, once given to the winner of the annual UA-ASU football game, is now an across-the-board contest that includes 18 sports. Last season, Arizona beat ASU 11.5 to 6.5. In cases such as basketball where teams meet twice, the point is awarded to whichever team wins twice. If a split occurs, each side is awarded ½ point.

Depth chart breakdown: Dolphins offense
It's never too early, or too often to take a look at a breakdown of the Dolphins roster.
Breaking down the roster allows me and you to continuously get a glimpse of how many players – at what position – make the 53-man roster in an ideal world (which means everyone stays healthy, which is a dream scenario). And it also allows you an opportunity to identify holes on the roster, and separate the sure shots (draft investments, possible starters, special teams demons) from long-shots (mostly the leftovers).
Here is my latest depth chart, which includes a breakdown at each position heading into the start of training camp later this month.
QUARTERBACKS – Proposed spots on the 53-man roster: 3
Sure shots: Josh McCown, John Beck, Chad Henne
Breakdown: According to the Dolphins coaches, all three quarterbacks will have a fair shot at winning the starting job during training camp, and the exhibition season. More than likely, unless the initial winner of this QB battle is winning games (another dream scenario), each quarterback will likely get a shot to unseat the starter. One of these three will have to run the scout team unless a practice squad spot is used on another quarterback.
RUNNING BACKS – Spots: 4
Sure shots: Ronnie Brown, Ricky Williams
Even money: Lex Hilliard, Jalen Parmele
Uphill battle: Patrick Cobbs
Breakdown: Brown and Williams will likely share the workload early, and they both are perfect fits for the power running game the Dolphins will likely feature. Cobbs is considered a small back by Trifecta standards, but if he's productive as a change of pace back, and special teams contributor, Cobbs could earn one of the two vacant roster spots. Both Hilliard and Parmele can be stashed on the practice squad if they don't churn out yards in the exhibition season because it's unlikely that another team will snatch up either player. Both must become head knockers on special teams to earn a 53-man roster spot. If a quality back becomes available after the first and second round of roster cuts don't be surprised if the Dolphins front office pounce.
FULLBACK – Spots: 1
Even money: Boomer Grigsby, Reagan Mauia
Breakdown: There likely won't be much use for a fullback in this offense because it'll likely feature a lot of two tight ends, and three receiver sets. The fullback will primarily be used for short yardage situations. That means whoever finds a home on the 53-man roster needs to be a special teams demon, which makes Grigsby the front-runner unless Mauia turns into a bulldozer during the exhibition season. Both tight ends are very one dimensional.
TIGHT END – Spots: 3
Sure shots: Anthony Fasano
Even money: David Martin, Justin Peelle, Sean Ryan
Uphill battle: Aaron Halterman, Matthew Mulligan
Breakdown: Fasano likely makes the 53-man roster because the Trifecta has a high opinion of him based on the second-round pick they used to take him back in their Dallas days, and the fourth rounder they used to acquire him and linebacker Akin Ayodele the night before the 2008 draft. It's anyone's guess which other two tight ends survive the cut downs. Each has strengths and weaknesses, but all will need to produce, and provide efficient contributions in the running game, passing game, and on special teams to stick around. Peelle's salary, the highest of all the tight ends, is a bit bloated, which likely puts him at a slight disadvantage. This position can handle a cut back to make space for the three unsigned rookies.
RECEIVER - Spots: 5
Sure shots: Ernest Wilford, Ted Ginn Jr.
Even money: Derek Hagan, David Kircus
Uphill battle: Greg Camarillo, Davone Bess, Selwyn Lymon, Justin Wynn, Jayson Foster, John Dunlap
Breakdown: Wilford is the only Dolphins receiver who can't have the YOUNG and UNPROVEN label stamped on him. And Wilford just barely graduated out of that label. Ginn will likely serve as a stretch the field receiver, but the Dolphins need to identify another deep threat. They also must find a slot receiver. Hagan seems to be the front runner, but he must become more consistent to maintain trust from the coaching staff and quarterbacks. This position will also likely receive an injection of talent once the first round of cuts arrives. It's likely that two unproven receivers will have a spot reserved for them on the practice squad. That's what Bess, Lymon, Wynn, Foster and Dunlap are likely battling for unless someone starts tearing it up in the exhibition season. One (Bess or Foster) could earn a spot on the 53-man roster if he's an elite kickoff and punt returner.
OFFENSIVE TACKLE – Spots: 4
Sure shots: Jake Long, Vernon Carey
Uphill battle: Julius Wilson, Dan Gore, Daren Heerspink
Breakdown: There is a shortage of depth at the tackle spot, which will likely be addressed after the first few waves of roster cuts. While Wilson possesses promise and the size to succeed, it's hard to predict this second-year undrafted player is ready to become the utility guy that gets called on when/if Long or Carey go down. Gore and Heerspink, who are both rookie free agents, are long shots to make the 53-man roster, but they could be developed on the practice squad (along with Wilson, who spent most of last season there) if they prove to be dependable.
OFFENSIVE GUARD – Spots: 4
Sure shots: Justin Smiley, Shawn Murphy
Even money: Donald Thomas, Trey Darilek, Ikechuku Ndukwe
CENTER - Spots: 2
Sure shot: Samson Satele
Even money: Steve McKinney
Uphill battle: Mike Byrne, Matt Spanos
Breakdown: Whoever steps up and becomes the starter opposite Smiley immediate gets upgraded to the "sure shot" category. Players like Darilek, McKinney and Ndukwe, who have the versatility to play guard and center, have an upper leg on the rest of the competition because they provide roster flexibility. I suspect versatility will be the key to determining which interior linemen get kept. If Thomas doesn't prove he's ready to handle the caliber of NFL players he could be stashed on the practice squad initially, which would allow the former Connecticut walk-on to receive some much needed grooming.
So, what is it about this roster breakdown of the Dolphins offense that concerns you the most? Not enough veteran receivers, lack of depth at offensive tackle, too many marginal tight ends?

A comic love story with an unmatching name, The Jerk, Steve Martin as a young boy whose parents left him on the porch of an African American Louisiana family, he grows up kind and sensitive and anything but a mean guy. He does not find out the true color of his skin until he leaves home, perhaps an analogy for same. Also, ironically enough, the film written by the actor Martin along with Carl Gottlieb and Michael Elias, Martin as Navin R. Johnson falls in love with Marie who saves him from a wild biker woman named Patty after he joins the circus on a road trip to St. Louis to discover fame and fortune not afforded him on the sharecropper farm he grew up on. Fortunately, he ever remembered his forte as a blues dancer and even after he comes up with an invention for making the wearing of eyeglasses more comfortable, which affords him to marry Marie, the love of his life, he takes his humble southern heritage with him all the way to the billionaire estate and mansion where he later resides.
Every family gathering with his family of origin resides with singing and dancing to Pick A Bale Of Cotton on the front porch. The love of the family for the boy they raised as one of their own brings a tear to each eye after papa gives him a birthday before his going away gift of his most small and yet treasured keepsakes. It is no wonder that the precious film elicited a sequel and the endemic theme of Martin throughout the film that he was born a poor black child, although he finds himself a homeless alcoholic at one point, the money he sent his to his family back home which they wisely invest they use to pull him out of the gutter more or less after his business faces a brief impasse.
That the story exists as a kind of romantic love story though, Navin exists as an independent until he meets the love of his life while working for the carnival after finding extreme success at the gas station where he accidentally invented the eyeglass patent while helping a customer out one day. The same customer he helps unbeknownst to Navin goes on to develop the product and establish a corporation. He looks everywhere for Martin (Navin) after the business a great success to enjoin him as partner, and Martin on the road believes his great success the carnival until certain circumstances predicate. Marie works hard behind the scenes after she marries Navin to convince him of his greater worth as a brilliant and productive human being whose intelligence she has obviously and well noticed. After a few brief starts, a mad snyper who once tried to execute Navin as a random victim, repents, revises and turns to undercover detective work to make his living. He comes for Navin now not with a rifle to end his life, but with a message from his prior customer to come and enjoin him as a private (or silent) partner. A hillarious intervention occurs after Navin goes to the bank to cash a check for what he at first believes $250 dollars of big ones, and passes out cold on the floor of the bank after her finds out his new partner has actually written him a check for his current share of the profits of the business as two-hundred and fifty millions of dollars.

Sorry, this product is no longer in stock.
Really not satisfied with the product
Posted by Reviewer2242113 on Nov 15, 2008
I recently bought the Navitas Naturals Acai Power but I am not happy as the powder turns out quite grainy and I have to actually filter the drink after mixing the powder with some water/juice. I find out that Navitas is using the Acai berry seeds together with the pulp to process into the powder. I think this is not what is should be...the Amazonians have been using the pulps and skin for centuries, not the seeds because the seeds do not carry any nutritional value. In fact we only get 30% of the real nutrients of the berry if seeds are processed together. Really disappointed, I won't buy Navitas Acai again!!
Warning ! You will get horrible Constipation
Posted by Reviewer2201555 on Apr 28, 2010
I am a raw vegan and survive on smoothies, salads and at least 4 liters distilled water daily.I have regular bowel movement twice daily. As soon as I added this Acai powder to my morning smoothie I had hard time passing rock like stools which scratched my anus and this continued it I figured out it was Acai. I had to start using ACV enema to save myself and still it didn't help much. As soon I stopped Acai thing are back to normal and nether end is recovering after using some medicated ointments. I have heard people reporting the opposite but most of them are using the juice.
Posted by archeiherb on Oct 24, 2015
Acai is a kind of amazon superfruit,which is the best antioxidant. I put this powder into youghurt or eat straightly. I think acai powder of this brand is the best one.Remember refrigeration after open.
Delighted and grateful
Posted by Reviewer2542954 on Aug 18, 2009
I am delighted and grateful to find such an important supplement at a resonable price. Being on a limited income, I still deserve to do everything I can to keep myself healthy and I know acai berry is really helpful, especially for weight control and alertness.

excellent product. Too bad it didn't come in a bigger package.
My Smoothie Boost
Posted by Reviewer2199321 on Jul 28, 2009
I add acai powder to my blueberry smoothie for a nutritional boost. I like having the freeze-dried product because it offers more of the fruit than acai juice. And it is easier to handle and more cost effective than the juice.
Posted by Reviewer2023245 on Mar 03, 2009
I used this to make my own moisturizer , a bit of a process , but so far so good , too soon to really tell though .
Acai is great
Posted by Reviewer1929049 on Apr 21, 2009
I love acai protein shakes. I ran out of powder and was using frozen acai pulp smoothie packets only to flavor my protein shakes. Now that I have a new supply of acai powder I don't like the powder in my protein shakes. But Navitas Naturals powders are good quality. I guess I just prefer the frozen pulp instead now.
Posted by Reviewer2333250 on Apr 27, 2009
As always, terrific service, excellent prices!
Acai Powder
Posted by Reviewer2914288 on Nov 15, 2008
This is a great product, and a great price. It tastes great mixed in my morning shake with a bit of berry fruit mixed in too.

GENERIC NAME: risedronate
BRAND NAME: Actonel, Atelvia
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Risedronate is in a class of drugs called bisphosphonates used for the treatment of Paget's disease of bone (in which the formation of bone is abnormal) and in persons with osteoporosis (in which the density and strength of bones are reduced). Other biphosphonates include the drugs alendronate (Fosamax), ibandronate (Boniva), pamidronate (Aredia), tiludronate (Skelid), and etidronate (Didronel). Bone is continually being formed and dissolved. New bone is laid down by cells called osteoblasts while old bone is removed by cells called osteoclasts. Bisphosphonates strengthen bone by inhibiting bone removal (resorption) by osteoclasts. By slowing down the rate at which bone is dissolved, risedronate increases the amount of bone. Risedronate is more potent in blocking the dissolution of bone than etidronate and alendronate. The FDA approved risedronate for the treatment of Paget's disease in 1998 and for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in 1999.

Sometimes you pay attention to the details. Other times, it's all about the big picture. Today, I'm looking at the big picture, and throwing out some crazy numbers.
The mode rating of programs I've directed. With a "rank this trip out of 100" criteria, it's safe to say I'm known for surpassing expectations.
I have led and directed travel programs for over 290 teens and parents. That's more people than a fully packed New York City subway car (the A car holds 240 people, the B car holds 246 people).
I have trained over 640 volunteers, leaders and summer employees. That's just shy of two full 3 class Boeing 747s (a 3 class 747 holds around 350-400 people depending on the amount of leg room the airline offers).
In the last three summers, I have traveled over 12,190 miles through the US and Canada. That's distance is more than 5 times the shortest cross-country road trip from Jacksonville to San Diego. Oh, I've also visited 39 states and 7 provinces.
Off to Cancun tomorrow!

STARKVILLE, Miss. – Following a closely contested 4-3 win in a marathon match against the No. 54 ranked Lady Tigers of LSU this past Sunday, the Mississippi State Lady Bulldog tennis squad (7-9, 1-7 SEC) is set to face in-state rival, the No. 37 ranked Lady Rebels of Ole Miss (7-9, 3-5), in a road matchup Friday at 1 p.m.
Lady Bulldog true freshman Georgiana Patrasc will lead State into Oxford. Patrasc appeared in the ITA national rankings for the first time in her career this week, resting at the No. 124 slot in the rankings. That comes on the heels of an impressive 6-2, 6-1 triumph over LSU's Kaitlin Burns at the No. 1 position Sunday.
"Georgiana has had a solid freshman year," said head coach Daryl Greenan. "She has won some big matches for us and picked up some quality wins along the way. She's is a big part of our promising future."
Joining Patrasc in the rankings is Mississippi State's ranked doubles pair of Alexandra Perper and Naomi Tran, who hold the No. 56 spot in the country.
Roseline Dion also exhibited excellent play in the team's match against the Lady Tigers. Dion posted a 6-3, 6-3 win on court 5 of singles play to assist in the MSU victory. She also paired with Patrasc to take a 9-8(4) court three doubles triumph to clinch the team win.
The Lady Rebels notched two consecutive 4-0 wins against Jackson State in their most recent competition. No. 45 ranked Caroline Rhode-Moe leads Ole Miss, followed by 82nd-ranked Mai El Kamash. Rhode-Moe and Marija Milutinovic team up to form the nation's 53rd-ranked doubles duo for UM.
"We played well in our last match and got a big win over LSU," said Greenan. "We are going to have to raise our level again tomorrow against a very strong Ole Miss team."
Updates for MSU matches can be found on Twitter at @mstateWT. Live stats can be found on hailstate.com.

This is the continuation of a photo-project that I began in the summer of 2008: a random collection of "interesting" people in a broad stretch of the Upper West Side of Manhattan — between 72nd Street and 104th Street, especially along Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue.
As I indicated when I started this project in 2008, I don't like to intrude on people's privacy, so I normally use a telephoto lens in order to photograph them while they're still 50-100 feet away from me; but that means I have to continue focusing my attention on the people and activities half a block away, rather than on what's right in front of me.
I've also learned that, in many cases, the opportunities for an interesting picture are very fleeting — literally a matter of a couple of seconds, before the person(s) in question move on, turn away, or stop doing whatever was interesting. So I've learned to keep the camera switched on (which contradicts my traditional urge to conserve battery power), and not worry so much about zooming in for a perfectly-framed picture … after all, once the digital image is uploaded to my computer, it's pretty trivial to crop out the parts unrelated to the main subject.
Thus far, I've generally avoided photographing bums, drunks, crazies, and homeless people. There are a few of them around, and they would certainly create some dramatic pictures; but they generally don't want to be photographed, and I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of them. I'm still looking for opportunities to take some "sympathetic" pictures of such people, which might inspire others to reach out and help them. We'll see how it goes …
The only other thing I've noticed, thus far, is that while there are lots of interesting people to photograph, there are far, far, far more people who are not so interesting. They're probably fine people, and they might even be more interesting than the ones I've photographed … but there was just nothing memorable about them.

Constant attention to usage of notebook battery
This is why the notebook battery will be worse after a long time. Please do not let the notebook battery be under the blazing sun for quite a long time and prevent it becoming damp. The more it is charged, the shorter its life will be. We suggest you use the external source. If you want to pull out of the source, you may firstly take out of the battery. Then, you can use the notebook 30 minutes later.
I can not sure about how to well use a wholesale camera battery and I do not know it clearly. The li-ion battery of notebook can only be charged and discharged for about less than 800 times. The source's linkage with electricity will charge the battery one time. Once we mentioned some about maintaining the notebook battery. Moreover, chemical liquid is another bad thing for battery.
Fortunately it is not costly of the mobile phone rechargeable battery. Something different on the notebook battery. The battery contact must refrain from meeting metal object, or the short-circuit will happen then.
This is safer way. When we charge the notebook, we shall not forget shutting off the notebook, by doing this can we fully charge the battery. Recently Jacky found something wrong with the rechargeable battery of his mobile. But one thing he forgot was his frequency of charging. Do not pull off the cahrge plug while charging. Half an hour's time will be saved if you power off the notebook and then charge its battery, and this do no harm to bettery.
