To Buy or Not to Buy Organic
Is organic food worth the extra cost? Some items might be a higher priority than others. Experts recommend spending most of your organic food dollars on produce and the foods you eat most often.
Buy Organic: Peaches
The Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit organization in Washington, DC, recommends going organic on produce that is most susceptible to pesticide residue, like peaches.
Buy Organic: Apples
Apples are a good source of fiber, especially if you eat the peel. The peel also has nutrients that may cut your odds of getting cancer and heart disease. But the peel is also where pesticides can build up. So buying organic apples makes sense. If you can't afford it, scrubbing their skins under running water can help reduce pesticide residues, too.
Buy Organic: Sweet Bell Peppers
Bell peppers are among those vegetables with higher pesticide residues. But government limits set safe levels of pesticide use and residue allowed on foods, organic or not. Although some pesticide levels are assumed to be safe, the chemicals used are strong. Because kids' immune systems may not be fully developed, they may be at greater risk from some pesticides than adults.
Buy Organic: Celery
A crunchy, low-calorie vegetable with a bit of vitamins A, C, and K, folate, potassium, and manganese, one large stalk of celery has only about 10 calories. Whether or not you buy organic celery, you can reduce pesticide residues, dirt, and bacteria by thoroughly washing the stalks under streaming water. Do not use soap.
Buy Organic: Nectarines
This juicy fruit is rich in vitamins A and C, niacin, and potassium. An average-sized nectarine has about 65 calories. Scrub or remove the peel to help reduce pesticide residues.
Buy Organic: Strawberries & Cherries
Strawberries and cherries are a great source of vitamin C. And while buying organic berries may give you a lot of bang for your organic buck, you may also want to consider buying local. Locally grown foods are usually fresher, and kinder to the environment, than produce that's traveled a long way to your store.
Buy Organic: Pears
A medium-sized pear contains about 103 calories and is a good source of vitamin C and fiber. But pears often have higher pesticide residues than many other fruits. It's a good idea to scrub a pear's skin to reduce pesticide residue and bacteria, even in organic pears.
Buy Organic: Grapes
Grapes are a tasty low-calorie snack or dessert. One cup has about 104 calories and is packed with vitamins C and K. Raisins (dried grapes) are also a good source of iron. Try to avoid imported grapes, which often have higher pesticide residues. But don't eliminate grapes from your diet if you can't always buy organic. Consider buying organic grapes for children and if you're pregnant.
Buy Organic: Spinach & Lettuce
Spinach is a great source of protein, vitamins A, C, E, and K, thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin B6, folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, copper, and manganese. It's got about 7 calories a cup. Lettuce has about 5 calories per cup. But they also have high levels of pesticide residue. Buy organic or grow your own (greens do well even in large patio containers).
Buy Organic: Potatoes & Carrots
Potatoes are a good organic purchase, especially since most conventional potatoes are pesticide-intensive crops. They are a good source of vitamin C, vitamin B6, potassium, manganese, and fiber. A medium-sized baked potato contains around 161 calories, without the fixings. Sweet, crunchy carrots are loaded with vitamins A and K and are a good source of fiber.
Buy Organic: Milk
Cows raised on conventional farms are often given recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH) to boost the amount of milk they produce. Does rBGH pose a health hazard to humans? Scientists don't agree. But if you have a baby or child who drinks milk, consider taking precaution and choosing rBGH-free or organic. Organic milk comes from cows that have not been given antibiotics or hormones. Many conventional brands are rBGH-free but aren't labeled as such. Look it up online or call the milk company.
Buy Organic: Beef
According to the Organic Trade Association, livestock on an organic farm cannot be given antibiotics or growth hormones unnecessarily. And although the risk to humans isn't clear, added hormones do show up in supermarket beef.
Buy Organic: Peanut Butter
Kids tend to eat a lot of peanut butter, and peanut butter made from just organic peanuts and salt is better than conventional peanut butter with added hydrogenated oils and sugar. The natural oils in organic peanut butter may separate and form a layer on top of the jar. If so, just stir it all up so it's creamy again.
Buy Organic: Baby Foods
Because kids' immune systems are not fully developed, they may be at greater risk from some pesticides than adults. Feeding them organic baby food provides peace of mind and ensures you give your baby the best start.
Look for the USDA Organic Seal
The organic seal means the food is grown, harvested, and processed according to government standards that include limits on amounts and residues of pesticides, hormones, and antibiotics. Natural pesticides are allowed. Organic foods cannot be treated with any sewage sludge, bioengineering, or ionizing radiation.
Understand Organic Terms
When buying organic products, look for the following terms on food labels:
- "100% organic" -- All ingredients must be certified organic.
- "Organic" -- This means the food has at least 95% certified organic ingredients.
- "Made with organic ingredients" -- This means the food must contain at least 70% certified organic ingredients.
Buy Conventional or Local: Papayas & Mangoes
The Environmental Working Group lists several foods as having the least pesticide residues and not worth spending the extra money to buy organic varieties. Tough peels on some fruits and vegetables absorb much of the pesticide. If you discard the peel, the remaining food has less pesticide residue. Papayas and mangoes are among these foods.
Buy Conventional or Local: Broccoli
The health benefits of conventionally grown produce far outweigh potential risks from pesticide exposure, so enjoy broccoli raw or cooked after washing well. Florets that are dark green, purplish, or bluish contain more beta-carotene and vitamin C than paler or yellowing ones. This vitamin C-packed veggie is also a great source of vitamins A, K, and B6, folate, potassium, and manganese. One cup of raw broccoli has about 31 calories.
Buy Conventional or Local: Cabbage
Cabbage is a great source of vitamins C, K, and B6, as well as folate and manganese. One cup of raw cabbage has only about 22 calories. Remove and throw out the outer layers to cut down on dirt, bacteria, and pesticide residues. Avoid buying precut cabbage, as the leaves may have already lost their vitamin C.
Buy Conventional or Local: Bananas
Bananas are a good source of vitamin C, potassium, and manganese, and a great source of vitamin B6. A medium banana has about 105 calories. If you want to go the extra mile, you can scrub even produce with inedible skins such as bananas before eating them to help keep any contaminants on the skin from spreading to the edible part of the fruit.
Buy Conventional or Local: Kiwifruit & Pineapple
An excellent source of vitamins C and K, a medium kiwifruit contains about 46 calories. Pineapple is a great source of vitamin C and manganese. One cup of the fruit has about 74 calories. Scrub and peel the skins of these fruits before enjoying the sweet flesh.
Buy Conventional or Local: Peas
A half-cup of fresh peas contains about 55 calories and is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, thiamine, and manganese. Peas are also a good low-calorie source of protein. A 100-calorie serving of peas (about 3/4 cup) contains more protein than a whole egg or a tablespoon of peanut butter, and has less than 1 gram of fat and no cholesterol. Rinse them before preparing.
Buy Conventional or Local: Asparagus
Asparagus can be found in green and white varieties. Four cooked spears of asparagus contain about 13 calories and are a great source of protein, vitamins A, C, E, and K, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, folate, iron, phosphorus, potassium, copper, manganese, and selenium. Wash thoroughly before preparing.
Buy Conventional or Local: Corn
A good source of thiamine and folate, one cooked ear of yellow corn contains about 111 calories. Make sure the corn husks are green, tight, and fresh-looking. Pull them open a little to make sure that the ear contains tightly packed rows of plump kernels. The kernels should be smaller at the tip of each ear. Large kernels at the tip are signs that the corn is too mature.
Buy Conventional or Local: Avocados
Avocados are loaded with dietary fiber, potassium, magnesium, and folate, and vitamins B6, C, E, and K. This fruit is an excellent source of good-for-you monounsaturated fat. But an average-sized avocado has about 227 calories. To be extra careful, wash the skin before cutting into it.
Buy Conventional or Local: Onions
A great source of vitamin C, one medium onion has only around 44 calories. Remove the outer layers of skin before cooking or serving raw.
Reduce Pesticide Residues
Whether or not you buy organic, you can do your part to reduce pesticide residues on foods with the following tips:
- Wash and scrub produce under streaming water to remove dirt, bacteria, and surface pesticide residues -- even produce with inedible skins, such as cantaloupe. Don't use soap.
- Remove the outer leaves of leafy vegetables.
- Eat a variety of foods from different sources.
Eat Plenty of Fruits and Vegetables
One thing experts agree on: Regardless of whether you choose locally grown, organic, or conventional foods, it's important to eat plenty of produce. The health benefits of such a diet far outweigh any potential risks from pesticide exposure. Government guidelines recommend eating a variety of fruits and vegetables. Make half your plate fruits and vegetables for their health-promoting, disease-preventing substances.

For the first time in its 110-year history, the World Cheese Company, producer of Haolam and Miller's kosher cheese products, has issued a voluntary recall of some shredded cheese.
The recall comes after a packaging facility in Wisconsin that handles the shredding and packaging, not the production, of some of Miller's shredded products also packaged a different company's cheese that was found to contain the deadly bacteria listeria monocytogenes.
Kosher products packaged in the same plant all tested negative for the bacteria.
According to World Cheese, the state of Wisconsin requested the voluntary recall of all the products shredded in the plant following the discovery of the bacteria.
The recalled cheeses are all eight-ounce and 16-ounce bags of Haolam and Miller's shredded cheese (pizza, mozzarella, cheddar, fancy, muenster, R/F muinster, R/F cheddar) with an expiration of June 5, 2012, through Sept. 4, 2012; all 32-ounce bags of Haolam shredded mozzarella and gourmet blend and Miller's shredded mozzarella with an expiration date of Feb. 6, 2012, through May 7, 2012; all five-pound bags of Haolam and Miller's shredded mozzarella, cheddar, muenster and Monterey Jack with a package date of Sept. 8, 2011, through Dec. 7, 2011.
A company news release said that there was no health danger to people who consumed the listed products. "Despite the fact that the products that we are being instructed to voluntarily recall, after having been tested, were found to be negative for the listeria monocytogenes, Haolam is complying with the state of Wisconsin's voluntary recall and removing all of the products from store shelves."
The release said the recall is not a kashrut issue.
In Montreal, a similar voluntary recall alert for the Haolam and Miller's shredded cheeses was issued Jan. 4 in a communiqué from the Jewish Community Council of Montreal (Vaad Ha'ir), the community's principal kosher certification body.
The Metro grocery store in Snowdon is issuing full refunds, with or without proof of purchase, as long as the product is brought in, said Shmuel Kardash, assistant manager of the store's kosher department. "We found mould in five of 12 packages," he added.
At the IGA grocery store in Cote St. Luc's Quartier Cavendish (formerly Cavendish Mall), which has the largest kosher department in the city, suppliers removed the shredded cheeses from dairy cases even before they went on sale, said Jean-Marc Beaudet, manager of the dairy department. "The store is empty of the product," he said.
In the Greater Toronto Area, Jennifer Bland, who works in file maintenance at Sobey's in the Spring Farm Plaza, Thornhill, said the store does carry the affected cheeses, and it has all been pulled from shelves.
Anyone who has the cheese at home can bring it in for a refund, she said.
World Cheese said that fresh cheese will be in stores shortly, and is being produced in a new shredding and packaging facility "where we have exclusive control over the cheese that is brought into the facility."

Phiaton PS 200 in-ear headphones
The 48" cable is a little long for shirt-pocket use, though it has a sliding collar to help with cable dressing. It ends with a straight 3.5mm stereo jack plugI prefer a right-angle plug because it puts less strain on the contacts of an iPod's output jack when pushed from the side. Phiaton supplies three sizes of gray silicone-rubber sleeves to fit over the short tube that protrudes from the inner end of the body; the largest size fit snugly into my ear canal and provided good acoustic sealing. I have one operational quibble: The PS 200's two ear-pieces are identical in appearance, distinguishable only by a tiny "L" or "R" printed below the drive-unit tube. I never did get used to having to look at the earpieces before inserting them in my ears. With the various Shures, which are "handed," you can tell which one goes in which ear by touch alone.
The Phiaton PS 200's sensitivity is specified as 95dB, but I didn't find that it required much in the way of drive. The volume control of my Benchmark DAC1 D/A converter and headphone amp needed to be cracked open only a smidgen for the headphones to play at a satisfyingly high volume.
The sound was clear, clean, and open, but with a lot of treble energya lot. On the plus side, the elevated treble enhanced older rock recordings that otherwise might have sounded a tad dull. The Phiatons allowed every filigree detail in the wonderfully produced "Disney Girls," from the Beach Boys' classic Surf's Up album (Brother/Caribou/Epic ZK 46951), to be appreciated, without the mix starting to sound overcooked. My new CD of Bob Reina's jazz quartet, Attention Screen, Live at Ottos's Shrunken Head (CD, Stereophile STPH020-2), which has a naturally balanced high end, sounded a little brighter than it should, but not to the point where it bothered me.
On the other hand, Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire," from the 26-disc sampler Sony Music 100 Years: Soundtrack for a Century, sounded unbearably bright. And while the virtuosic interplay between Bruce Hornsby's piano and his superb rhythm section on the Bach Two-Part Invention he quotes in "Way It Is," from his free Christmas 2007 live download album, Noisemakers Summer 2007 (256kbps MP3, apparently no longer available), was laid delightfully bare, the treble emphasis did make the music sound a touch relentless.
Unfortunately, this balance was exacerbated by the PS 200's low frequencies, which were light in weight, though the bass was still well defined. I made sure that the silicone tips were a tight seal, but the bass still remained suppressed, not only in comparison with the Ultimate Ear UE-5Cs, which are bass busters supreme, but also with the single-armature Shures, which had a little more LF extension and more upper-bass energy. The 1/3-octave warble tones from Editor's Choice (CD, Stereophile STPH016-2) smoothly diminished in intensity as the center frequency increasingly dropped below 250Hz on the Phiatons, and were inaudible below 63Hz at normal listening levels.
Summing Up
The Phiaton PS 200 is a nice-looking, nicely presented pair of in-ear headphonesthe supplied case allows the cable to be neatly spooledbut whether or not its bright, rather lightweight balance will bother you will depend both on the music you prefer and on a personal audition. Unfortunately, that won't be possible with headphones you can purchase only online.
I use vacuum headphones all the time, i haven't used these ones, they are a little too expensive but i believe they are pretty good

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
After her Friday night (Nov. 9) concert in Atlantic City, N.J., Carrie Underwood tweeted that she was leaving in awe. But after what she announced at that Boardwalk Hall concert, I have a feeling she left Atlantic City in awe , as well. "We're so glad to be here and even more glad to be here this evening," she said in reference to the damage Hurricane Sandy had just done to the New Jersey city. "You know, after something like this, you wonder whether the show should go on. We thought, this building was still here, so it must be here for a reason. I wouldn't feel right making any money off of tonight's show. So anything I make is going right back into the community here." I don't know exactly what Underwood meant by "anything I make," but that venue holds more than 14,000 people, and tickets averaged about $65 each, so whatever she donated I'm guessing it was a generous amount. Her full post-show tweet was: "Thank you beautiful Atlantic City! You all made my year! You have been through so much and still rocked the house! I leave in awe! Thanks."

Any fine powder will work. Flour and powdered sugar are easier to get. :) I know a guy who uses powdered sugar and garlic powder mixed. He's been doing it as his only Varroa treatment for years. Maybe the garlic powder makes them want to get it off more.
The advantage of this powder is that it is natural and harmless.

Jade is our Cornish Rex. Here is a perfect example of how these two play:
Sorry it's not the best quality, but they were movin'! They play like this just about every day. Leni instigates the play most of the time and Jade is always going back for more. Jade has a tendency to be a little vicious, but he's never drawn blood on Leni for all the batting and biting. He has drawn blood on me and put two people in the emergency room, but that was years ago. Thank goodness he's mellowed as he has gotten used to being in my household. He and Vinny were really good pals too, but Guido and Reno won't have anything to do with Jade.

The Fort Lewis College womens basketball team rallied in the second half Friday night for another Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference road win.
The Skyhawks broke a 34-34 halftime tie and defeated Western New Mexico 74-62 in Silver City, N.M.
Give Western New Mexico a lot of credit. They played hard ... inspired, FLC head coach Jason Flores said.
But we did what we needed to do to win by 12 points.
Four Skyhawks scored in double figures, led by Ashley Kuchars game-high 18 points.
Former Pagosa Springs High School all-state product Mary Brinton scored a career-high 17 points. She also had nine rebounds. Brinton, who did not miss a shot from the floor in the first half, scored 15 of her points in the opening half.
Mary gave us huge production off the bench, Flores said.
Former Durango High School all-state star Katerina Garcia scored 12 points with nine assists in the RMAC win.
Fellow point guard Alex Easterbrook also scored in double figures. She had 12 points, including three 3- pointers.
Jelesia Gray led the Mustangs with 13 points and a game-high 14 rebounds.
When we got down (in the second half), we didnt panic. We stepped up another notch, Flores said.
Western N.M. took a 57-56 lead with 7 minutes, 24 seconds to play. But the Skyhawks answered with an 8-1 run to take control.
Morgan Wohltman and Desiree Young added 12 points each for Western N.M. (3-17, 2-14 RMAC).
FLC (11-8, 10-5 RMAC) will play another RMAC game at N.M. Highlands at 6 p.m. today in Las Vegas, N.M.

I fired up my Kindle to read this one because I enjoy Matthew David Brozik's writing so much. He specializes in silliness for nerds, LOL humor for the crossword-puzzle set. If you read "Shouts & Murmurs" in the bathroom and totally get a kick out of those memes that go around with Downton Abbey episodes retold as Tweets, Brozik is your type of writer.
Taking Ivy Seriously lives up to his previous work. It imagines a world more or less like contemporary America, except where literature and words have very high stakes. So, basically, a world like the one I live in. Poetry is a bit illicit and politicians are caught messing around with words out of wedlock. It's a tale of intrigue that centers around a teenaged girl and her manuscript of pedestrian poetry. Only Brozik could make that unbelievably funny.
I won't spoil the plot for you, but I'll say that one of the charms of this book is that Brozik always knows just how far to take the humor. It's tongue-in-cheek—far more than most writers could get away with—but the whole time you get the sense that Brozik is laughing at himself for doing it.
If you or a nerd you love is looking for light, fun beach reading as a break from Elizabethan poetry and Bakhtin, this is the book you're looking for. If you enjoyed Eat, Pray, Love, I can't help you with that.

Brief Summary
Cobalt always builds pleasant surprises into their boats, and the 25' 6" (7.77 m) A25 bowrider has several. Her forward cockpit converts between three individual seats and a wraparound bench. Round deck lockers are purpose-built for fender stowage. The aft bench backrest flips forward to turn the sunpad into a double-wide chaise lounge. No surprise, though, is the A25's quality, a hallmark of every Cobalt model.

Last summer, the San Francisco Planning Department announced plans to create four different types of "eco-districts" within the city that would lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduce waste, water consumption and energy use. San Francisco isn't the first US city to deploy the eco-district concept – similar development strategies have been used in Seattle, Austin, and Boston – but San Francisco's plan promises to better integrate critical infrastructure with human networks to improve efficiency.
The South of Market (SoMa) district, a vibrant area that is expected to see rapid growth in the near future, is set to be the city's first eco-district. San Francisco's Department of Planning has dubbed SoMa the "Central Corridor Eco-District." There, the city will encourage transit-oriented development and increased density, while looking to capture stormwater runoff. The type 2 "Patchwork Quilt"-style district will be "characterized by its mix of land uses and is comprised of undeveloped, under-developed and developed land owned by different property owners implementing development projects under different timeframes."
Last summer, a group of landscape architecture students teamed up with landscape architecture firm SWA Group to develop design ideas for the Central Corridor Eco District. One plan called for capturing stormwater runoff beneath the I-80 freeway, which runs through the neighborhood. Another proposal called for creating an innovative ceramic roof water filtration system.
The Patchwork Quilt isn't the only type of neighborhood that San Francisco will work with; the Department of Planning has also identified three other types of Eco-Districts: The Blank Slate, the Strengthened Neighborhood, and the Industrial Network. As the name suggests, a Blank Slate neighborhood is one that is undeveloped and must be built from scratch. In contrast, the Strengthened Neighborhood focuses on existing residential neighborhoods and their commercial corridors. And the Industrial Network will look to improve the efficiency of the operating and distribution systems used within the city's industrial districts.
The overall goal of San Francisco's Eco Districts will be to achieve the goals of the city's Climate Action Plan, which aims to significantly reduce the city's greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, Eco Districts have the potential to strengthen local economies while creating a stronger sense of place, according to the Department of Planning. The Central Corridor Eco District is expected to be implemented sometime next year.

Signs of a global slowdown in economic activity persist as commodities prices fall, fears of debt defaults rise, and China shows weak manufacturing data.
The purchasing manager index for China's manufacturing sector fell to its lowest point in over a year, as the Markit PMI dropped to 48.2, indicating a continuance of the year's trend of a contracting manufacturing sector. One analyst called the data "big, bad news" after the release on Friday, with some analysts warning that a decline in activity could cause the Chinese stock market, which has seen a brief reversal from its bullish trend earlier this year, to resume falling in value.
A decline in Chinese equities is widely seen as a serious risk to domestic demand in Asia's largest economy, as the government attempts to spur domestic consumption and encourage more Chinese to purchase more goods and services. The government has encouraged more spending through lower interest rates and lax lending regulations, and economists believe the wealth effect from an improving economy has also helped the country see its domestic demand rise in early 2015.
The country's GDP rose by an annualized 7% in both the first and second quarter of 2015, although a larger share of that growth is attributable to the financial services sector. Some estimates suggest that Chinese GDP growth would be closer to 6% after discounting all of the gains from the surging stock market in early 2015 from the figures.
China's falling manufacturing activity, which was far below expectations of positive manufacturing growth, indicates that the country's recent attempts to pull up activity are lagging, and even if it succeeds in spurring local demand, that may not help the country's large manufacturing industry. The country could also be showing signs of losing competitiveness to emerging manufacturing nations like Vietnam.
Weak European Growth
European activity showed more strength, as Markit's flash PMI for the Eurozone showed growth of 53.7, slightly below expectations but still solidly above the breakeven point, indicating growing activity. The factory PMI, which measures manufacturing, fell only 0.3 points to 52.2, suggesting that productivity and exports remain in reasonable shape despite the continent's dramatic troubles with Greece's debt load.
Nonetheless, critics have noted that European demand has been largely—and artificially—supported by massive monetary stimulus, as the Eurozone has seen the European Central Bank continually buy over 1 trillion euros' worth of government bonds throughout the region. This has effectively freed up liquidity for more investment activity, ultimately driving many sorts of private investment and consumption.
Even with this quantitative easing program, the Eurozone has posted relatively anemic GDP growth, and the euro has lost over 9% of its value versus the dollar at the same time.

City News Services
Assemblymember Chris Holden (Pasadena) and members of the California Legislative Black Caucus recently honored Mrs. Rachel Robinson, the widow of former Hall of Fame baseball player Jackie Robinson, in the state Assembly and Senate.
"The legacy of Jackie Robinson means so much to the citizens of my district. Jackie Robinson was raised in Pasadena, played ball at Pasadena City College before transferring to UCLA," said Holden.
"He was not only a pioneering black baseball player, but was a civil rights leader. His widow Rachel Robinson carries on his legacy through the Jackie Robinson Foundation. I am privileged to join in recognizing Rachel Robinson for her spirit and her efforts to champion civil rights."
Holden joined members of the CLBC in voting for House Resolution 24 (Bradford) which urges the county of Los Angeles and several South LA cities to rename Manchester Boulevard (formerly State Route 42) after Dodger baseball great Jackie Robinson. Forty two was Robinson's jersey number when he played for the Dodgers.

Stern Activities Center
66 George Street
The College of Charleston swimming and diving team practices and competes at the Theodore Stern Student Activities Center, a newly renovated, state-of-the-art swimming and diving facility on the College of Charleston campus.
A $2 million renovation on the Stern Center Pool was completed in October 2000, making the Cougars' home one of the top natatoriums in the area.
The facility has glass windows on three sides, and, as an added feature, the pool has three underwater viewing windows for easy access video-taping.
The pool has a viewing area in the second floor above the pool where spectators can watch swim meets. The seating area has the capacity to hold up to 180 spectators.
The pool has dimensions of 6 lanes by 25 meters and uses a Colorado timing system. It also has competitive non-turbulent lane markers. The pool also features one and three-meter diving boards.
The Stern Center was built in 1974 and named after Theodore Stern, the College of Charleston President from 1968-78, who was also an Olympic Swimmer.

What is wastewater?
You may not realize what happens after you wash something down the drain or flush the toilet. That sewage or wastewater is conveyed in an extensive underground collection system comprised of piping from your house, your place of business and any other place plumbed to the sanitary sewer.
The wastewater collection system (totally separate from the storm water collection system that collects storm run-off from streets and parking lots) collects the wastewater and carries it to the wastewater treatment plant.
Sewage is the wastewater released by residences, businesses and industries in the community. It is 99.94% water and only 0.06% solid material. Sewage contains nutrients (such as ammonia and phosphorus), minerals and metals. Sewage treatment is a multi-stage process to treat wastewater before it reenters a body of water, is applied to the land or is reused. The goal is to reduce or remove organic matter, solids, nutrients, disease-causing organisms and other pollutants from wastewater.
Preliminary Treatment
Preliminary treatment to screen out, grind up, or separate debris is the first step in wastewater treatment. Sticks, rags, large food particles, sand, gravel, toys, etc., are removed at this stage to protect the pumping and other equipment in the treatment plant. The collected debris is usually disposed of in a landfill.
Primary Treatment
Primary treatment is the second step in treatment and separates suspended solids and greases from wastewater. Wastewater is held in a quiet tank for several hours allowing the particles to settle to the bottom and the greases to float to the top. The solids drawn off the bottom and skimmed off the top receive further treatment as sludge. The clarified wastewater flows on to the next stage of wastewater treatment.
Secondary Treatment
Secondary treatment is a biological treatment process to remove organic matter from wastewater. Microorganisms are cultivated and added to the wastewater. The microorganisms absorb organic matter from sewage as their food supply.
Final Treatment
Final treatment focuses on removal of disease-causing organisms from wastewater. Treated wastewater can be disinfected by adding chlorine or by using ultraviolet light. High levels of chlorine may be harmful to aquatic life in receiving streams. Treatment systems often add a chlorine-neutralizing chemical to the treated wastewater before stream discharge.
Advanced Treatment
Advanced treatment is necessary in some treatment systems to remove nutrients from wastewater. Chemicals are sometimes added during the treatment process to help settle out or strip out phosphorus or nitrogen.
Sludges are generated through the sewage treatment process. The goals of sludge treatment are to stabilize the sludge and reduce odors, to remove water to reduce volume, to decompose some of the organic matter to reduce volume, and to disinfect the sludge to kill disease causing organisms. Depending on the contaminant level in the treated sludge, it is either disposed of in a landfill or used as fertilizer for non-food grade crops.
Wastewater treatment processes require careful management to ensure the protection of the water body that receives the discharge. Trained and certified treatment plant operators measure and monitor the incoming sewage, the treatment process and the final effluent.
The City of Grand Prairie is part of the Central Regional Wastewater System run by the Trinity River Authority (TRA). All of the wastewater generated in the City runs into the TRA's collection system to the TRA Central Treatment Plant located at 6500 W. Singleton Blvd. on the edge of Grand Prairie at I-30 and Loop 12. The treatment plant takes in wastewater, treats it, and discharges it to the Trinity River.

Body found in Delaware River may be connected to Grayson murder
Officials from the Delaware State police told The Trentonian Wednesday that the body of a man was discovered in the Delaware River last Friday.
The body has been turned over to the New Castle County medical examiner to be identified, and state police did not release time or exact location of where the body was found.
That body may be connected to Trenton's 16th homicide victim, but officials have not confirmed whether it relates to the murder of Florence Grayson.
On Oct. 3, Trenton police discovered the body of Grayson, 54, who died from multiple stab wounds in her upper torso in her home at 1326 N. Olden Ave. Police sources told The Trentonian at the time of her murder that the body had been inside the house for two days and that her killer is believed to be a man who jumped off the Delaware Memorial Bridge. The possible connection between the Trenton homicide and the Delaware suicide was discovered when a vehicle found at the bridge was connected to a man who lives in Grayson's home.
Officials from the Delaware River and Bay Authority said the man jumped off the bridge on Oct. 2 at 1:38 p.m. City police have not released any new information officially connecting the Grayson homicide to the bridge jumper.

Creating an Endowment
Endowments at the Washington College of Law are an investment in the future of our school and our students. Endowments allow a donor to create a permanent legacy at AUWCL, providing funding for scholarships, faculty, and programs. This funding helps AUWCL create new opportunities that attract the best students and faculty or provide an important foundation for existing programs.
Established at the $50,000 gift level, endowments may be created through a one time gift, multiple gifts over time, or by a bequest. Once an endowment is established, the income earned on the endowed fund is used to award scholarships, faculty chairs, and academic awards and prizes. Additionally, after an endowment is officially established, anyone may continue to add to its principal at any time, allowing the endowment to create a larger amount of interest.
We are grateful for the foresight and generosity of the donors who established endowed funds at the Washington College of Law.
Opportunities to Make a Difference
Various types of endowments are listed below, but endowments can cover other purposes that may fall outside of these general categories.
Benefits of establishing an endowment:
- The endowment will always be a part of Washington College of Law and benefit countless numbers of students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
- The donor(s) determines the criteria within appropriate guidelines.
- The donor(s) and anyone else may make additional contributions to increase the endowment. All gifts are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
- The donor(s) will receive an annual endowment update.
Scholarships, Awards & Fellowships
Scholarships, awards, and fellowships for AUWCL's students are critical to maintaining AUWCL's academic excellence because they remove financial barriers and allow AUWCL to attract and retain the most qualified and diverse student body.
When establishing an endowed scholarship, award or fellowship, the donor determines the parameters under which the scholarship is established and named. Donors may choose to leave their scholarships "unrestricted" in order to assure that all available funds can be matched to the broadest pool of eligible students. With an endowed scholarship, award or fellowship, the donor(s) determines the selection criteria within appropriate affirmative action and tax guidelines. The donor(s) will be notified of the recipient(s) each year, receive a letter of thanks from the recipient(s), and be invited to attend the annual Scholarships and Awards Dinner at which the donor(s) may meet the recipient(s).
View our Scholarships, Awards, and Fellowships
Program Endowments

- Women and the Law Program
- Stephen S. Weinstein Trial Advocacy Program
- The Thompson Endowment – Center for Human Rights
- Janet R. Spragens Federal Tax Law Clinic
- Glushko-Samuelson Intellectual Property Law Clinic
Faculty Endowments
Nothing is more important to the quality of an AUWCL education than its faculty of distinguished scholars and educators, many of whom have earned national and international attention.
Naming Opportunities at AUWCL's Tenley Campus
In Spring 2016, the Washington College of Law moved to the new Tenley Campus located on Nebraska Avenue. The new campus offers a variety of naming opportunities to honor family, colleagues, friends, and members of the AUWCL Law community who made a difference in your life.
For more information on naming opportunities, please contact Laura Herr, Associate Dean of Development and Alumni Relations at (202) 274-4054 or email@example.com
Ways to Give
Donors can establish a new endowment that creates a permanent legacy honoring a person, a program or an area of interest, or you can make a gift to support an existing endowment
For more information about establishing an endowed fund or to make a gift in support of an existing fund, please contact the Office of Development and Alumni Relations at 202-274-4050 or email@example.com.
If you make a gift online, by mail or phone, please designate how your gift should be used or give as unrestricted, which allows the dean to allocate it to the area of greatest need.

What country cut government spending the most in 2011?
Most people would generally agree that the answer is Greece. Smack in the middle of a debt crisis, Greece's government has been forced to take an axe to government spending. Month after month has been marked by budget cut after budget cut.
The Heritage Foundation is a conservative think tank which publishes a ranking of economic freedom according to each country. These rankings are based on conservative economic values, such as low government spending. According to the Heritage Foundation, the less your government spends, the more economically free your country is.
So, after three years of cutting government spending to the bone, how's Greece doing on the Heritage Foundation's ranking of economic freedom?
Pretty poorly:
In fact, the Heritage Foundation states that Greece has recorded the "largest score decline in the 2012 Index." Why is this? Well:
Greece's economic freedom score is 55.4, making its economy the 119th freest in the 2012 Index. Its score is 4.9 points lower than last year, reflecting declines in six of the 10 economic freedoms with particularly acute problems in labor freedom, monetary freedom, and the control of government spending.
This pattern is not only limited to Greece. The four other Eurozone countries in trouble (Ireland, Italy, Portugal, and Spain) have all been slashing their budgets to the bone. Austerity and cuts in government spending have been the main preoccupation of their governments and will continue to be for probably all of next year.
Unfortunately, all of these countries have also suffered corresponding declines in the Heritage Foundation's rank of economic freedom. Here is Ireland:
Well, the answer is kind of ironic. Here's what the Heritage Foundation says:
Ireland's economic freedom score is 76.9, making its economy the 9th freest in the 2012 Index. Its score has decreased by 1.8 points from last year, reflecting poorer management of government spending and reduced monetary freedom.
Italy's economic freedom score is 58.8, making its economy the 92nd freest in the 2012 Index. Its overall score is 1.5 points lower than last year, with significant declines in freedom from corruption and the control of government spending.
Portugal's economic freedom score is 63.0, making its economy the 68th freest in the 2012 Index. Its score is 1.0 point worse than last year, mainly due to deterioration in the management of government spending, labor freedom, and fiscal freedom.
Spain's economic freedom score is 69.1, making its economy the 36th freest in the 2012 Index. Its score is 1.1 points lower than last year, with a significant deterioration in the management of government spending overwhelming a modest gain in business freedom.
After cutting government spending by enormous amounts, the scores of these five European countries have gotten worse…because they can't control government spending.
Indeed, the vast majority of the decline in economic freedom of Italy, Ireland, Portugal, and Spain occurs due to lower scores on government spending. Here's a table that specifically shows how much worse their scores on government spending have gotten since 2011:
|Score Changes Since 2011
|Government Spending
It's pretty undeniable that these countries have been cutting government spending. And yet their scores on the control of government spending keep on getting worse. What gives?
Well, it has to do with the way that Heritage Foundation measures government spending. Specifically it uses government spending as a percentage of GDP; as a government spends more relative to GDP, its score gets exponentially worse.
What's happening with these five European countries is that while they have indeed cut government spending, their economies have fallen into recession (coincidence?). So government spending, while numerically less, ends up composing a larger percentage of their GDP (which is declining even faster than spending).
Poor Greece. It cuts government spending to the bone for three years, falls into a depression that will be remembered for one hundred years, only to default on its debt anyways. And worst of all, its score on the conservative Heritage Foundation's economic freedom ranking falls more than any other country because – wait for it – Greece has failed to control government spending adequately.

Does this describe your dream job? Boring work, a long commute to an uninteresting box building located in a bland office park, pay that's not competitive, poor benefits, long hours and uncomfortable, privacy-obliterating cubicles. Sounds awful, doesn't it? Piling on further, though, let's throw in a few broken promises for promotions and raises. Top it all off with a boss who dislikes you. He doesn't invite you in his office, he doesn't ask you to meetings and routinely complains about your work to you and your co-workers. I can't imagine a scenario that would be much more dehumanizing, but what's truly depressing about it is how so many people endure this office-of-horrors for weeks, months or years without trying to change it.
I'm not talking about leaving corporate life for a blissful career as a social media guru or cheerful organic tomato farmer. I'm not talking about stalking through the cube farm with an AK as a solution, either. I see people lower their heads and return glumly to work after being dismissed, humiliated and almost broken every day. I tend to get a lot of miserable employees complaining to me about their situations (since I'm not an employee – I'm a consultant – I'm "safe" to talk to). When the picture gets as grim as described above, the conversation almost always plays out like one of those dream sequences in which you watch the monster running towards you, but your feet remain planted in concrete – something terrible is coming, but it's inescapable:
Droopy: "I hate my job, I hate everything about it."
Me: "Too bad. You can't transfer or anything like that?"
Droopy: "No, I'd need help from my boss."
Me: "Well, life is short and it's not worth putting up with a situation like this forever. Maybe you should think about quitting."
Droopy: "No! The economy is terrible! Plus I have a mortgage/2.3 kids/credit card debt/a new car payment/etc."
Me: "Yeah, but since you've been looking for a new job for a while, you're bound to have some leads…"
Droopy: "I've been MEANING to start looking, but I'm just so busy – plus it's hard to interview, my resume is outdated, I have this big project here…"
Me: "You hate your job, your boss hates you, you have no future and in all likelihood you'll be the first head on a platter when the layoffs come… and you aren't actively looking for a new job?"
Droopy: "But nobody's hiring!"
Me: "Nobody's breaking into your home at night while you're watching American Idol and offering you a job, if that's what you mean."
Why is it that people wait for a good time to look for new work? Why, if you were in a terrible job like the one I've described above, would you worry about how "difficult" it might be to sneak away for an interview? Why would you give a second's thought to trying to stick it out?
I suppose an optimistic person might hope for their boss to quit and Sandra Bullock to swoop in and become the chirpy, best-buddy boss in a romantic comedy. Yep. That happens almost everyday, according to the movies. When I see employees stuck in a dead end job, I feel badly. I try to help by offering advice or encouragement. When I see the same employee sit on their hands month after month without looking for a new job – but talking on the phone about last night's episode of CSI – I want to knock the stupid out of them.
If you aren't keeping a What-I-Done-Did file, start now. Update your resume. Sign up for LinkedIn. Get on Twitter (and yes, I'm getting as tired as everyone else of Twitter but hey, if you can't beat 'em…). And most importantly, start looking! One of the worst feelings you can have related to your career is a sense of powerlessness – a lack of choice. If nothing else, a job search gives you back a tiny bit of control and forcefeeds a drop of hope into your system.
We all know Milton from Office Space. We all laughed at him, but sit back and look in the mirror. If you skip washing your hair for a few days, dress like a doofus and mumble a bit, could you fit the part? If so, go grab that red stapler and flee for the hills as soon as you can.

This was bad.
The score, a 26-10 whipping, was bad. The performance of the offensive line, giving up nine sacks, was bad. The fact Miami starting quarterback Matt Moore left the game with concussion-like symptoms is bad.
The fact Tony Sparano is unable to win out is bad for him if you recognize that I wrote in Sunday's Herald that the coach had to win out to have any chance at saving his job.
That will not happen. The Dolphins will have their third consecutive losing season under the Parcells-Ireland-Sparano administration. They have also been eliminated from playoff contention.
Sparano's days are practically over. GM Jeff Ireland's job is similarly on the line.

I haven't written in here in forever! I'm sorry I'm not as good about it as I used to be but I'm going to try and be better..not for any of my "readers" because I'm pretty sure I don't have any of those haha! BUT I do love writing for me and playing around on here is always fun so I'll just try and do that. Writing has always been a great wya for me to make since of my thoughts, so if nothing else I hope I do that.
This past weekend I was in Estes Park, CO with 6 of my best friends! It was an amazing trip and I loved showing them Wind River Ranch, a place Whitney and I have grown up at each summer. I couldn't have been more blessed by the time we shared there.
We were able to relax, hike and just play. It was such a blessed trip that I will never forget. 🙂 Thanks to my amazing friends, CC, BriAnn, Cara, Whitney, T Derr, Brianna, I LOVE YALL.

Drinking in Season: Philly Smash
Putting the season's perfect produce into your cocktail shaker.
Get the Recipe
I find all summer berries pretty hard to resist, so I always come home from the market with an overabundant assortment of the juicy little fruits. When I'm not eating them by the handful, I toss them in everything from pancakes to drinks. And with temperatures at an all-time high this summer, the Philly Smash is the perfect way to use whatever berries you have on hand while cooling down at the same time.
Created by Rob Gourlay at the Esquire Tavern in San Antonio, this cocktail takes a minimum amount of effort to produce maximum flavor—something we can all appreciate when the heat gets oppressive. I used black raspberries, red raspberries, and blueberries, but you can use any combination you like; they're all pretty delicious when mixed with Averna. The berries are muddled with little simple syrup to enhance their sweetness, then paired with rye whiskey (I like Rittenhouse Rye) to give the drink a little pep. With a drink like this, I almost don't mind the heatwave—almost.

I have tried to provide support for library fund raisers in the past on Best of Publib. But, this one is personal.
My niece Jackie is being treated for cancer at Duke Children's Hospital and her family needs help meeting medical expenses. If you would like to contribute, or know of someone who would like to help – they have just set up a website to accept donations through the non-profit fund raising entity Give Forward .
Thank you for your help!

Salads are a staple of summer and they come in many forms. What pops into most folks' heads when the word "salad" is uttered is most likely a plate full of leafy greens. While lettuce based salads are well and good, there are other forms of "salad" to consider this time of year, like ones consisting entirely of veggies and/or fruit. They're a great way to utilize the best produce that this season has to offer and can be a great way to boost the nutritional content of your meal (barring they're not swimming in mayo or sour cream because that kind of negates the "healthy" aspect).
This first recipe utilizes fresh, raw veggies that are tossed in (my take on) creamy Green Goddess dressing and it makes for a great side for a summer gathering. Instead of smothering this dish in a mayo and/or sour cream based dressing, it gets its creaminess from avocados and buttermilk — the latter being much healthier than you might think (one cup contains less than 100 calories and only 2.2 grams of fat). Make the dressing a few hours before serving to allow the flavors to marry and feel free to toss the veggies together with the dressing up to an hour before serving.
Summer Vegetable Salad with Green Goddess Dressing
Makes 4 servings
2 ears of sweet corn (raw)
1 medium-sized zucchini, diced
1 bell red or orange pepper, diced
1/2 medium red onion, diced
1 medium ripe avocado, pitted and diced
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped, plus extra for garnish
2 tablespoons fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped, plus extra for garnish
2 tablespoons sliced fresh chives, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno or serrano pepper, ribs and seeds removed and minced
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Salt and pepper, to taste

7-22-10 PNC Park
I got a Club level seat tonight. The last time (link) I sat in the Club level, I caught two foul balls, and the visiting team was the Milwaukee Brewers. This was the Brewers final game at PNC Park this year.
Batting Practice was very frustrating.
I only got two balls during the Pirates portion. One was a Lastings Milledge home run that landed underneath the left field rotunda.
(Ball #3 says Blood Pressure Rising, which I responded "You're telling me," after snagging it – in regards to the frustrating BP)
Game: 6 balls (4 hit, 1 thrown, 1 device)
Season: 318 balls (171 hit, 71 thrown, 32 device, 44 found)
Games: 49 games
Average: 6.49 balls per game
2010 Game Balls: 5
Career: 896 balls
Streak: 145 consecutive games attended with at least 1 ball snagged.

Rookie's INT For TD Lifts Dallas, 24-20 Over Miami
CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Rookie Devonte Holloman's 75-yard interception return with a tipped pass keyed the Dallas Cowboys' 24-20 victory over the Miami Dolphins in the Hall of Fame game Sunday night that opened the NFL's preseason.
The sixth-round pick from South Carolina was perfectly situated when rookie Chad Bumphis had Matt Moore's pass go off his hands in the second quarter. It was the biggest play for a Dallas defense switching to a 4-3 alignment under new coordinator Monte Kiffin.
But the Cowboys controlled most of the game one night after their former offensive lineman, Larry Allen, and former coach, Bill Parcells, were inducted into the hall.
Quarterback Tony Romo, coming off back surgery to remove a cyst, sat out for Dallas. So the Cowboys turned to their ground game — and ground down Miami as few regulars got onto the field.

Alexander turns 2!!
It's been a whole year already? I cannot believe I am posting another birthday party for my lil (sniff sniff) man. He turned 2 at the end of January. Time files.
This year we went with a Vintage Trains theme because AJ is really diggin' all things train. Not just Thomas the Tank Engine, ALL trains. His Daddy is pretty excited to be building train yards with him too :)
Paper Cow Designs. I think it is so cute!
The chalkboard Arrivals and Destinations board was just a foamy poster board and chalk. easy as pie.
We used places the guests were arriving from.
I made the cupcakes and again, the toppers were from the printable set. I used to have a cupcake & cupcake pop bussiness a few years ago so baking these is a snap.
The cake was made with love by my Auntie Liz. She made AJ's first birthday cake as well as our wedding cake and wedding cupcakes. I left the design in here hands. Loved the details and AJ loved Thomas!
He was such a trooper: shared, played, ate well (go figure!) and smiles galore. Thanks so much to everyone who came! We all had a blast!
P.S. Would you believe no pictures of the food table turned out? It was pretty darn cute too!
I linked up with Jenn over at Clean and Scentsible

All cars and vans over 3 years old need a MOT test every 12 month to ensure that they meet the environmental and road safety standards required by law. Our DVSA approved MOT tests can be carried out up to one month prior to the current MOT expiry date. RRP £54.85 Class 4 MOT only - excludes commercial vehicles over 3000kg (please call us for a price for a Class 7 MOT).
Would you like us to do anything else?
Please add on anything else you want us to do while your vehicle is with us:
Around 10% of air-conditioning gas will be lost from the air-con system every year, that's why most car manufacturers recommend that the air-con system is recharged with new gas every 2 years. Our trained technicians will remove all the old refrigerant gas and oil and thoroughly clean the system before injecting new oil and refrigerant gas. We'll then take a temperature reading to ensure that the Re-Gas worked. Price excludes HFO - 1234YF gas.
At Pentagon we recommend you change the coolant in your vehicle every 4 years. Coolant keeps the engine cool at slow speeds and in hot weather and prevents freezing during the cold winter months. It also has special additives which prevent corrosion within the engine and cooling system. The quality of the coolant deteriorates over time and changing it every four years will prevent the engine freezing up and costly repairs caused by corrosion.
Improve your vehicle's fuel economy with a complete chemical flush of the old engine oil and fuel system. Our Emissions Service and Fuel Flush removes engine deposits from the fuel injectors and combustion chambers, cleans and lubricates sticking valves and cleans the catalytic converter meaning the engine will burn fuel more efficiently, improving fuel economy and restoring lost power. Can only be booked in conjunction with an interim or full service.

We'll then take a temperature reading to ensure that the Re-Gas worked. If you're not sure which gas your vehicles needs please contact us.
Harmful bacteria, mould and fungi can build up in your Air Conditioning system over time causing unpleasant odours, allergic reactions and other irritations. Our Air Conditioning Anti Bacterial treatment cleanses the system and improves the air quality, eliminates odours and creates a healthier environment inside your vehicle.
Brake fluid is hydroscopic, meaning it naturally attracts moisture and over time will lose much of its efficiency. Changing the brake fluid in your vehicle every 2 years ensures your brakes work efficiently, enabling you to maintain safe braking distances on the road.
If you can't find what you need here choose this option and let us know what work you would like us to do/look at in the last part of the booking process and we'll call you back to discuss your requirements.

The long awaited..first MU men's hoop's scouting report of 2012-13..The season is here.!!.
HOFSTRA (0-0) at MONMOUTH (0-0)
WHEN: FRIDAY 7 p.m.
WHERE: Monmouth University Multipurpose Activity Center. West Long Branch.
RADIO/INTERNET/STREAMING: 1310 AM, 1160 AM, 88.9 FM, shoresportsnetwork.com, gomuhawks.com.
HOFSTRA REPORT: The Pride, coming off a 10-22 record (3-15 Colonial Athletic Association) mark in 2011-12, was seventh in the league's preaseason poll. Hofstra l breezed past Division III Queens College in an exhibition game, 78-47, led 5-foot-9 senior point guard Stevie Mejia who had 16 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 steals. Just declared eligible Wednesday by the NCAA was Hawaii transfer Shaquille Stokes, a 5-foot-10 sophomore guard and former New York City high school standout. Stokes averaged 8.4 points for Hawaii and was second on the team in assists (66) and 3-pointers (35). Hofstra has some beef up front in 6-foot-7, 240 pound senior David Imes, a 2-year starter, who had 13 points vs. Queens, and junior center Stephen Nwaukoni. The 6-foot-8, 240 pound center pulled down a team high 9 rebounds vs. Queens. He averaged 4.0 points and 5.3 rebounds in 21 starts last season. Hofstra is without 6-foot-7 UConn transfer forward Jamal Coombs-McDaniel and 6-foot-2 Penn State transfer guard Taran Buie who have been suspended for the first two regular season games by coach coach Mo Cassara for violating team rules.
MONMOUTH REPORT: The Hawks begin Year II of the King Rice Era looking to build on last season's strong finish. Monmouth (12-20, 10-8) ended in a tie for fifth place in the Northeast Conference where it was picked 10th in preseason. This season it was chosen 7th. The 10 NEC wins were the most since it won 13 in its last NCAA Tournament run in 2005-06. Overall Monmouth returns five of last season's top 6 scorers led by senior guard Jesse Steele (12.6 ppg.) and adds 5 new faces plus fifth year senior Gary Cox who sat out last season. Monmouth has lots of time to iron out the kinks. It plays 13 non-conference games to begin the season and does not commence league play until Jan 3. at Wagner.
Key to a better season: Rebounding. Monmouth was last in the 12 team league in conference play in 2011-12 in rebounds per game (30.7) and rebounding margin (-7.1).
My thoughts: Stokes definitely adds some talent and savvy for Hofstra but I think MU will still match up well in the back court and overall has more experience playing together as a unit. Overall MU may also be be a deeper team, at least at this time. While not playing a preseason game could be a negative, intangibles on the plus side for the Hawks include this being a home court season opener. Also, being shuttled away to Scranton, Pa. for a few days may have also helped the team grow closer.
