What to Put on a Fresh Vegetable Sandwich
There are a lot of vegetable sandwich options out there. Most involve roasted vegetables, and those are just fine for another occasion. For this sandwich, though, we're talking a salad on two slices of bread. It's so refreshing and satisfyingly crunchy. If you fear it won't be filling enough, add some cheese (a smear of cream cheese is good, too).
And blame it on Subway, but two things we absolutely, positively have to have are banana peppers and dill pickles. The tangy, sharp taste and the texture are paramount on our sandwiches. Here's the rundown of our basic ingredients:
• Shredded lettuce (We like romaine hearts, sliced into ribbons.)
• Tomatoes
• Bell pepper, thinly sliced
• Dill pickle
• Banana pepper rings
• Spicy mustard
On the sandwich above, we also have a bit of mayonnaise and some sliced carrots. Lenny's adds shredded red cabbage, honey mustard, and alfalfa sprouts—all good things you might want to consider.
Does anyone else eat fresh vegetable sandwiches like this? What's on yours?

Looks good and I do too have a soft spot for the Subway salad sub. And just because I think I'd need to use a good whole wheat sub roll. Also I'd throw on sliced olives, spinach, lots of oregano and a slab of avocado for good measure.
I like avocado on mine to stick it all together. The one drawback of a crispy veg sandwich like this is its tendency to fall apart. I have to have radishes on mine, and I prefer picked red onion to dill pickles. Thin cucumber slices are good, crunchable lettuce is a must, and a slice of a really nice tomato. Mustard is usually the only condiment, on a really great bread. But if I've got a nice roll, and I'm going to eat it right away, this is great with a mustard vinaigrette.
Banana pepper rings are key. I made myself a sliced tomato, lettuce and red onion on whole grain with a little mayo, salt and pepper last weekend. My friend dubbed it a "no B BLT and thus, completely pointless" but I thought it was delicious.
One of my favorite veggie sandwiches consists of tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado (or guacamole) and alfalfa sprouts, on whole grain bread.
Another one is cream cheese and sliced pickles.
Oh my, lunch tomorrow. Just washed the romaine, got the peppers and my own tomatoes from the garden. Thanks for the idea.
mmm, veggie delite sub is great. For me, its all about the vingary/sour components. Banana peppers, vinegar, pickles, mustard, Red onions. No lettuce for me - just spinach. Avocado to add a bit of creaminess to all that pucker.
our classic veggie sandwich at home:
tomatoes, guacamole, cucumber slices, sunflower sprouts, pickled red onions, chipotle mayo on toasted wheat.
I also love a good veggie salad sandwich with the only addition to be some avocado and/or cheese to give the creaminess factor. The cheese should be a soft cheese such as lappi or like the original poster suggested, a cream cheese works just as well.
I really don't love lettuce on sandwiches that much, so if it's there it will be just a little bit, and definitely not on a hot sandwich. So, not a big fan of just veggies sandwiches.
One of my favorites, though, is cheddar, swiss, tomato, sprouts, and avocado with a bit of mayo or ranch dressing.
My favorite thing is CILANTRO. A sandwich place near my house uses cilantro on their sandwiches and it's so good! I would never have thought of it myself.
Lenny's sandwiches sound good and they are on bread instead of a bun. I love that fact. Bread is almost extinct in sandwich shops.
I'd add some avocado to that sandwich and - hope this isn't gross - some mango chutney.
I think that sounds good, but there's mainly just fiber. Avocado for good fats, and maybe some hummus or hardboiled egg for protein?
I love salad sandwiches! My favorite is spinach, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, dill pickles, and sharp cheddar on toasted whole wheat bread. I use mayo and a little salt, and sometimes spicy mustard.
Oooh, how about good old fashioned tomato and mayo sandwiches on fresh baked bread. Of course, this only works with the super-ripe farm-fresh tomatoes of late summer.
I'm with you on the Subway vegi sandwich. The pickles and banana peppers are key! I love the oil/vin as well.
Pesto! Avocado! Hummus!
Maybe some lettuce and tomato.
Pardon me, I'm going to make myself a much-loved fresh tomato sandwich. mwilsn2 is right, the best are with the really ripe ones, but I'm prepared to make do (I don't think I'd survive a week without one).
I agree with clampers.
My mouth is salivating at the picture! Perhaps being 6 1/2 months pregnant has something to do with it, or maybe it just that is looks so darn good! First crop homegrown Texas tomatoes are just now making their way into the farmer's markets. Perfect timing for a sandwich such as this!
Tomatoes, lots of basil, a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and mozzarella cheese are my favorite.
I also like hummus, tomato, cucumber, sprouts, and lettuce.
I have a favourite veggie sandwich, from a local lunch joint here in Ottawa called Gooney's:
Sauteed mushrooms, cheddar/swiss/provolone, lettuce, onions, grilled eggplant, hot peppers, mayo, mustard, and horseradish (trust me on the horseradish).
I'm forgetting a vegetable I think...
lettuce, tomato, cheese, cucumber and mustard
lettuce, tomato, cheese, green pepper, black olives, salt & pepper, sometimes a few slices of jalapeno.
spinach, tomato, cucumbers. Mayo. On ciabatta. Salt and Pepper. Yum!
I like to blend together some pesto (homemade or a favorite jarred brand, whichever), a can of drained cannellini beans, and a touch of parmesan. I use this as a sandwich spread to go with sliced tomatoes and romaine.
I also like cooked, pureed sweet potato as a filling.
a simple combo of lettuce and hummus is amazing, especially if you have some awesome bread to put it on. it's ridiculously healthy and SO good.
i like to mash beans and spread them on!
seriously? no one's mentioned feta yet?
even just avocado, tomato, hummus and feta. yum.
there was (is?) a great sandwich place in berkeley when i was in college, and they made a seriously stacked veggie sandwich with tomatoes, avocado, sprouts, probably some hummus, lettuce; i can't remember what else. it was big. but the best part was the 1/4 inch-thick layer of feta. just divine.
Hummus, tomato, gouda or goat cheese, avocado, red, orange and yellow peppers, splash of balsamic vinagrette. So good!
lkb -- I think you're talking about Cafe Intermezzo -- if so, they are still there! At least, they were about a year ago.
I call mine Big MoFo Pockets, instead of bread I use whole wheat pita pockets, spread the insides with roasted red pepper hummus, guacamole, and then I stuff it with spring lettuce, sliced cucumber, sliced white mushrooms, sliced red or green bell pepper, sliced kalamata olives, a sprinkle of cheese (usually goat cheese or farm cheese), and a topping of fresh mild salsa, and sometimes cilantro.
These are so good and messy, my husband loves them and doesn't usually like "healthy" food.
@leapkate--no, it wasn't intermezzo. i don't think i ever had a sandwich with feta there (although their sandwiches AND salads were phenomenal, especially with that great bread).
this was a weird little hole in the wall--from bancroft, you had to walk through a little passageway, then (maybe?) cross the next street and continue between buildings somewhere. (i think it was close to Unit 3) but... it was 10 years ago, so i can't totally remember. it was a teeny little sandwich place, and i still remember that one sandwich.
but now i'm thinking about intermezzo, and sitting outside at raleigh's. the east coast just doesn't have the same outdoor restaurants. or food...
Cream cheese, avo, red onion, tomato, shredded carrots (must be shredded by hand, not the pre cut stuff!), green leaf lettuce, sprouts & mayo. YUMMMMMMY!
fresh and garlicky green goddess dressing
Seeduction bread from Whole Foods, cream cheese, a slice of cheddar, avocado, tomato and lots of thin slices (I use a mandoline) of cucumbers and radishes.
if you are using a good quality, whole grain bread and adding dark leafy greens there is no need to add another source of protein or iron, you already have a complete meal. A nut cheese spread would add a boost to this, as well as lending some healthy fats without the absorption-blocking effects of cheese.
I add baby kale leaves, chiffonaded and rubbed with tahini/lemon/garlic/red chili flake dressing as a base on my veggie sammiches (official terminology). Without kale or broccoli, veggie sammiches just aren't filling enough. To this I add avocado, tomatoes, red peppers, red onion, sprouts, banana peppers, olives and pickles. Yes, it's a truly epic sandwich :)
Slabs of baked sweet potato make another great addition,
I'm kind of a fast food snob (never eat the stuff), except when I travel for work, I always eat that Subway Salad Sandwich. It's very tasty, and sometimes your best/only bet in airports or in the heartland. I can see wanting to recreate it - yum!
I eat veggie sandwiches like this at least three times a week. I, too, need banana pepper rings. Also, mashed avocado, red onion, and alfafa sprouts. I like to use a splash of balsamic vinegar, too. Pickle on the side.
My mom used to make what she called a Russian Salad - it was sliced cucumbers, onion and tomatoes with a dollop of sour cream mixed with vinegar and dill - you leave the veggies sitting in the sour cream and vinegar for about 20 minutes and they get nice and crunchy - this is great layered onto a multi-grain roll with a bit of butter. Very satisfying!
Banana peppers and pickles? My mouth is watering.
I bet you could mash up some chickpeas or cannellini beans and add them, too, for a little protein.

Authorities have arrested the head of the main teachers' union in Mexico on charges of fraud and embezzlement.
Mexico's Attorney General says Esther Gordillo Morales is suspected of embezzling millions of dollars in union funds for private use.
The arrest was announced a day after Mexico's President signed a major education overhaul into law.
Prosecutors allege the Union Chief used intermediaries to move money to accounts in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, then back to the US.
A longtime opponent of education reform, her critics have long accused her of corruption.

We love Archway cookies! As a kid I remember them being a gourmet cookie, more expensive than the generic store brand my mother threw in the cart. As an adult I bought them regularly, particularly in love with the Windmill cookies. I don't make it down the cookie aisle much anymore, but when I do, the Windmill's always required a bit of a search.
As recently requested here, Archway Raspberry Filled Cookies are alive and well. Accordingly to Archway, they are in production year 'round, albeit not at your local store. This is often the case and really the bulk of what Hometown Favorites is all about.
You may want to check with your local grocer first and ask if they will order specifically for you. From personal experience, the answer is always yes, and then it NEVER happens. I've waited and waited in vain to be called when my special request item arrives or to perhaps stumble upon it on my next visit, but it's never there. Perhaps you'll have better luck!
In the meantime, we are working on adding this and several other Archway "hard to find cookies to our website (including my favorite Windmills!). For those of you who are having difficulties of your own, please drop us a line at (firstname.lastname@example.com). We'll be happy to incorporate your requests into real, live product!
One of the great things about Archway is that they also offer a number of other brands we've had requests on. Lance is one of them, but more excitedly, Salerno Cookies are produced by Archway. Salerno is a Chicago favorite, not widely available outside the midwest. Butter Cookies are high on our list, but word on the street says there are several other Salerno favorites we would love to stock. We'll keep you posted on our progress.
We appreciate your request and should have the "no e-mail link" problem resolved shortly. Keep in touch!

How To Turn a Baked Sweet Potato Into a Complete Meal?
Good Questions
Q: I know there are lots of ways to turn a baked potato into a meal, but I am looking for ways to turn a baked sweet potato into a meal.
Any suggestions for toppings that would add some protein?
Sent by Melissa
Editor: Melissa, we love sweet potatoes with walnuts and maple syrup for breakfast, and with bacon and yogurt for lunch. Black beans are also a great topping.
Readers, what else would you suggest?

I saw this through punchfork this weekend.. it looks like an amazing option:
Alternately you could go african with it an top your baked potato with shredded chicken, and a quick peanut sauce made of peanut butter thinned with yogurt, black pepper, chopped onions, peanuts and cilantro and it would be pretty hearty and delicious.
As Faith said, black beans are a wonderful pairing (our favorite). Brown some onions, add some ground cumin and the beans. Add salsa, maybe some sour cream or other cheese if you like. Or Just top with chili, vegetarian or otherwise.
Or go in a slightly different direction with Barbara Kingsolver's sweet potato quesadillas with Swiss chard.
Anything you could do with a regular baked potato, you could do with a sweet potato, couldn't you? Plus sweet potatoes lend themselves to being sweetened, as Faith mentioned.
I just did this the other night. I mixed the potato flesh with a little Earth Balance butter, cumin, and adobo sauce. Then topped it with black beans, salsa verde, and cheese. I do another version mixing the flesh with walnut oil and spices and topping it with either feta or ricotta salata and toasted pumpkin seeds.
For extra protein you could add hemp seeds or lentils.
I love adding cottage cheese to my sweet potato. Yum!
I lived on this when I was pregnant: baked sweet potato with peanut butter and soy sauce mashed in. My sound funny, but it is GOOD and instant!
A couple of ideas: 1. Sweet Potato, Zuchinni, Onion and Mozzarella Galette with a side salad 2. Curried Sweet Potato Soup with some garlic naan.
If you're not a vegetarian, I'd top it with picadillo--make it with pork but leave out the potatoes. The sweet potato will play the part of the fried potatoesin the picadillo. Here's a sample recipe for picadillo, or "Latin American hash." This version doesn't contain potatoes, so you wouldn't have to modify it: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Pork-Picadillo-Empanadas-with-Chipotle-Salsa-696
Baked potatoes stuffed with some type of smoky sausage is a really great (and filling!) meal.
I usually cube the baked sweet potato and just add it to some sauteed onion, tomatoes, and black beans with cumin, coriander, etc and serve over brown rice with a dab of greek yogurt, but you could leave it whole like the recipe if you want to have more of the "baked potato" kind of feel....super quick and delicious!
I love topping my white potatoes with brussels sprouts sauteed with bacon, onions, and golden raisins. The mixture would be yummy on top of a sweet potato too.
Here's the recipe: http://www.maddhatterskitchen.com/dinner/spuds-and-sprouts
Follow up thought: you probably don't need to add the sour cream to the sweet potato.
How about a baked sweet potato stuffed with waiters leeks, goat cheese, and toasted chopped hazelnuts?
I love thiso one - Sweet Potato amd Black Bean Chili...http://mostlyfoodandcrafts.blogspot.com/2011/06/sweet-potato-and-black-bean-chili.html
Remove skin, add grilled onions and peppers, black beans, cheese, avocado, salsa, and sour cream. Wrap in tortilla. Sweet potato burritos are delicious!
I love to add black beans, diced tomatoes, and guacamole to my baked sweet potato!
Fried egg! Greek yogurt! Carmelized onions with wilted kale or spinach + toasted pine nuts! All of the things that are delicious go with sweet potatoes. :)
Pancetta, for sure! I'd recommend this one: http://localmarketsouth.com/market/pancetta
My favorite is sauteed kale or chard (with bacon, if you're not a vegetarian), and then topped with plain greek yogurt. Very filling and the salty/sour flavors go great with the sweet potato!
BBQ shredded chicken and a little bit of chipotle in adobo sauce.
Another vote for Kingsolver's Sweet Potato Quesadilla with Swiss Chard - I've reviewed the recipe here - it is awesome and loved by kids and adults.
At my house, this is considered the highest calling for a sweet potato!
We frequently top white potatoes with chili or pulled pork. I imagine they would both be pretty tasty on a sweet potato too.
Funny timing, I just roasted up some sweet potatoes for the week! This morning for breakfast I tried Larsie's peanut butter & soy sauce-tasty!
I second the Eating Well recipe-that's my go to healthy/cheap meal. Also love sweet potatoes roasted and topped with lime juice and chili powder-I got the recipe from Bittman:)
I'm thinking topping it with toasted pecans, maybe some bacon or some leftover ham that's been cooked up to get a little carmelization going, and maybe a soft melting cheese or a drizzle of maple syrup and a slab of butter? A simple salad of mixed greens and a light, homemade viniagrette on the side would round it out a bit.
Sarah Lynn Paige's recipe for "His Hearty Sweet Potato Pasta" is great!
It is creamy, like Macaroni and Cheese, but it does not have cream or cheese! The sweet potatoes and garbanzo beans become creamy, and the garbanzo beans add protein, too!
For breakfast, I add a scoop of lowfat ricotta, a sprinkle of cinnamon and a squeeze of agave syrup (or maple syrup) and smash it into the hot potato - my family can't eat it fast enough!!
I love sweet potatoes. I stuff my sweet potatoes differently, and they taste amazing. I puree them, stuff them, and bake them. They resemble the "rellenos" that are sold in Puerto Rico's street kiosks, but they are way healthier! Feel free to check them on my blog:

Oh I love these!
going to Barcelona in February, will check it out...Thanks
I could die happy in there.
Yes PLEASE!!!
beautiful!! some are rather stark but even then they still look amazing!!
I love them all, even as I, at home, am moving from a basically beige and dark wood setting into a more colorful scheme....
We almost stayed here back in October (Finn), but found another apartment (on VRBO) with the most amazing plaster ceilings and floor tiles...
If you are going to Barcelona, we found Eixample to be a great livable neighbourhood, especially with kids. (don't stay in Ramblas).
Also in Barcelona and available as a vacation rental is that apartment with a swing in the living room, which AT has posted about in the past. Pretty cool if you can afford it.

The International Glaciological Society (IGS) will hold an International Symposium on "Earth's Disappearing Ice" in 2010. The symposium will be held in Columbus, Ohio, USA, from 15 to 20 August 2010.
One of the most visible indicators of climate change is the response of Earth's ice cover. Over the second half of the 20th century alpine glaciers worldwide retreated. Satellite observations over the last two decades reveal rapid changes in many outlet glaciers that drain large sections of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. Ice shelf disintegration is becoming more frequent with consequences for the discharge of land-based ice to the oceans. The extent of summer sea ice on the Arctic Ocean is declining and ice free summer conditions well before the end of the century are not outside the realm of possibility. This symposium will focus on the drivers for such changes, the potential feedbacks and responses of the climate system to these changes and the likely impacts that might be expected in response to the ongoing large-scale deglaciation of the planet. An additional goal of the symposium is to identify major gaps in our scientific understanding, observational databases, modeling approaches and the need for enhanced human capital and fiscal resources to advance our predictive capability.
The symposium will be held at the new Ohio Union at The Ohio State University (OSU), in Columbus, Ohio. OSU is a public research university founded in 1870 as a land-grant university and is currently the second largest university campus in the United States. Columbus is the state capital, and the city has numerous historic areas including: German Village, the Short North, and Victorian Village. Other attractions include the Arena District, Franklin Park Conservatory, Ohio Historical Society, Columbus Art Museum and COSI. The city features restaurants of every cuisine — American, Italian, German, Japanese, Korean, Indian, etc. — with prices for all budgets. Weather in August can be very hot and humid, reaching 31°C (88°F), and on occasion even higher. Short sleeves and lightweight clothing is recommended. Be prepared for rain or a cool spell as in Columbus we say, "wait five minutes and the weather will change!"

Kansas), Lonnie Thompson (Ohio State U.), Slawek Tulaczyk (U. California Santa Cruz), Dirk van As (Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland).
Participants wishing to present a paper at the workshop are required to submit an abstract. A pre-print of submitted abstracts will be provided for all participants at the symposium. The International Glaciological Society will offer a volume of Annals of Glaciology on topics consistent with the Symposium themes. Although the final volume title is yet to be determined, participants are encouraged to submit manuscripts for this volume.

Good Graphics, But....
An "Episode" is called an "Episode" because something usually happens in it. The animation in this Flash was choppy. If you're going to parody someone (who has a high-profile Flash series), you have to at least make it worthy. I liked the first episode as well, because something *actually happened* in it.

Human trafficking-specific shelters and programs have varying capacity for different types of survivors. In fact, these shelters and programs are especially rare for male survivors, and there are no dedicated beds for labor trafficking survivors in the U.S.:
Polaris directed this survey in order to more accurately identify gaps in shelter provisions for human trafficking survivors.

Hungarian Jews threaten boycott of Holocaust commemoration over anti-Semitism
Hungarian Jewish leaders said on Tuesday they may stay away from commemorations of the Holocaust in 2014 because of resurgent anti-Semitism in a nation that has struggled to come to terms with a wartime role in deporting Jews.
The Hungarian government is planning to mark the 70th anniversary of June 1944, when 437,000 Jews were sent to Nazi death camps within weeks. In total, about half a million Jews perished before the Budapest ghetto was liberated in 1945.
Since the war, anti-Semitism has remained a big problem in the central European nation, which is home to the largest indigenous Jewish community in Europe. And Jewish leaders feel the country has not fully faced up to its wartime past.
In November, for instance, Hungary earned international scorn after the far-right Jobbik party unveiled a statue of wartime leader Miklos Horthy, whose regime was allied with Nazi Germany, vilified Jews and helped deportations.
"We sought out the Prime Minister with our concerns because if this year of Holocaust remembrance is not a success then that will be the failure of all of Hungary," Andras Heiszler, chairman of the Hungarian Jewish Congregations' Association (Mazsihisz), told a news conference.
"There is a limit. If things don't get back to normal we will consider withdrawing from the commemorations," he said.

Choosing Between Gold and Silver
Lior is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In recent years, many investors have added precious metals to their portfolio for various reasons including hedging in case of inflation or a sharp devaluation of the dollar against other leading currencies. Despite the strong relation between gold and silver, they haven't performed the same. Moreover, silver and gold companies differ from one another in certain aspects. Let's compare between silver and gold and between gold and silver companies to better understand the difference between these investments.
Gold vs. Silver – First Round
The strong correlation between gold and silver is well known and straight forward: during the year, the linear correlation between the daily percent change of gold and silver ranged between 0.7 and 0.9, which is a very strong and positive relation.
Many believe that gold is leading this relation, because gold is a larger market than silver. A quick comparison between ETFs reveals that gold's ETF, SPDR Gold Shares (NYSEMKT: GLD) has a much higher market cap than silver's ETF, Shares Silver Trust (NYSEMKT: SLV): GLD's market cap is nearly $73 billion compared to $10.5 billion for silver's. Another comparison, between global reserves of gold and silver, shows that gold has a much higher market cap: the world official gold holding is nearly 35,000 tonnes, at a price of $1,700 per troy ounce, which comes to a market cap of $1,912 billion; global silver reserves are 530,000 tonnes, at a price of $33 per troy ounce, which comes to a market cap of $562 billion.
So we know these two metals have a strong relation and gold is most likely leading the charge in this relation. Despite these factors, during the year both precious metals have performed differently as gold rose by only 5.7% (year-to-end) while silver increased by nearly 11.3%. In the past year and a half, however, gold remained stable and slightly rose while silver tumbled down from its high levels during the first few months of 2011.
As I have showed in the past, the price of silver has a much higher standard deviation than the price of gold. This means, the volatility of silver is much higher than that of gold.
Therefore, the price of gold seems a bit steadier than silver even though it has under-performed silver during the year.
Gold vs. Silver – Second Round
Let's examine two major precious metals companies: one mostly related to gold and another mostly to silver and compare their performances.
The chart below presents the average quarterly normalized prices of gold and silver (as of the second quarter of 2011) and the operating profitability of two major precious metals companies: Royal Gold (NASDAQ: RGLD) and Silver Wheaton (NYSE: SLW). These companies have different business models but are both big companies in the gold and silver industries, respectively.
In terms of operating profitability Silver Wheaton has consistently done much better than Royal Gold. Moreover, even though I didn't add other gold producers to this comparison, such as Barrick Gold (NYSE: ABX), gold producers didn't have a higher profitability than Silver Wheaton had.
During the year, shares of Silver Wheaton and Royal Gold have risen by very similar rates, although Silver Wheaton was more volatile than Royal Gold. Moreover, both precious metal stocks have outperformed not only gold but also the S&P500. The chart below presents the developments of the above-mentioned indices.
In terms of dividends, Silver Wheaton is paying a relatively low divided: as of the past quarter the company paid $0.07 per share which comes to 0.8% annual yield; Royal Gold paid $0.2 per share, which comes to a 0.99% annual yield; Barrick paid $0.2 per share, which is an annual yield of 2.39%.
Some final thoughts
In the comparison above between Silver Wheaton and Royal Gold we saw that Silver Wheaton has a higher profitability, pays less in terms of dividend yield. Nonetheless, both companies' stocks have increased by nearly the same rate (up to date). In this comparison between gold and silver there isn't a clear cut answer which investment is better, it depends on the investor's expectations, risk aversion and belief in the future progress of precious metals. I think for more conservative investors who wish to hedge against inflation and devalue of the USD, gold or gold companies might be a more suitable investment. Investors who wish to be riskier and be rewarded for it might lean toward silver and silver companies.

Submental & buccal fat lipectomy
If you have a double chin or a round baby face that is hereditary, you have no doubt discovered that diet and exercise doesn't improve pockets of these excess fat cells. But, Dr. Russell Kridel has answers for these problems — liposuction.
How does Dr. Kridel improve a double chin or 'fat face' with liposuction?
During submental lipectomy (neck liposuction) to remove excess fat under the chin and jawline, Dr. Kridel makes a tiny incision under the chin and "vacuums" out excess fat through a suction catheter. After he closes the incision, he applies a turban-like dressing, then removes stitches and bandages four days later.
It's an hour-long, out-patient procedure done under local anesthesia and can be done in an out-patient surgical center or at the fully accredited FPSA surgical facility.
Will liposuction also tighten loose skin?
In some patients with excess fat deposits in the face and cheek area, he may also combine liposuction for the best results.
For some patients with congenital weak chins and fatty necks, the combination of chin augmentation and neck liposuction provides great jawline definition and improved facial harmony.
How do I know if I need liposuction?
During your consultation with Dr. Kridel, he will fully evaluate your face and neck area. We will also take your photographs and complete computer imaging so that you can discuss your goals and review what can be achieved through facial rejuvenation procedures. Dr. Kridel will provide an individualized plan, which may (or may not) include liposuction, for you to reach your goal.
What can I expect after neck liposuction?
Immediately, you'll see a more youthful, tighter jaw line. Jowls and double chins are reduced. After five days, you can return to work. Don't resume strenuous activities until about 10 days to two weeks after surgery. Any swelling will subside over several months, gradually revealing your new look.

Meritorious Service Medal
Meritorious Service Medal
$ 16.99
Presented to members of the United States Armed Forces who distinguished themselves by outstanding non-combat meritorious achievement or service to the United States subsequent to January 16, 1969. Effective 11 September 2001, this award also may be bestowed for non-combat meritorious achievement in a designated combat theatre. Normally, the acts or services rendered must be comparable to that required for the Legion of Merit but in a duty of lesser, though considerable, responsibility. A higher decoration, known as the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, is intended for similar services performed under joint service with the United States Department of Defense. Today, most MSM recipients are field grade officers (pay grades O-4 to O-6) and senior noncommissioned officers (E-7 to E-9), as exceptionally meritorious service at that level of responsibility is usually required for award of the medal.

Aquaculture scientists at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute and Indian River State College offer a unique educational program where college students receive hands-on training in molluscan, fish and crustacean aquaculture in a cutting-edge facility.
Aquaculture, farming aquatic animals and plants, is one of the fastest growing segments of the U.S. and global agricultural economies.
Florida is the third largest aquaculture producing state and produces the greatest variety of aquatic organisms in the U.S., such as clams, ornamental fish and plants, shrimp, fish and alligators.
Recently, seven IRSC students enrolled in "principles of molluscan aquaculture" class learned hands-on about clam farming by planting measured clams in mesh bags and putting the bags in state-approved waters.
Clam farming helps clean the water and is environmentally friendly. In 10 weeks the students will retrieve the bags and check the clams' survival and growth rate. It takes 12 months for the cultured clams to reach market-size.
"Clam aquaculture in the state is big business with about 450 farmers producing a crop worth approximately $20 million," said Terry Lange, clam farmer and IRSC graduate.
For more information about these growing educational and career opportunities, call (772) 336-6211 or email email@example.com.

NEW YORK — Most people think they pay too much in taxes and will do their best to avoid them, but few take that a step further into illegal tax evasion.
Many simply complain to anyone who will listen. Phil Mickelson, the professional golfer, did just that a few weeks ago when he finished a tournament and griped that he paid 62 or 63 percent of his income in taxes. Something was going to have to change, he said. His fans were probably more sympathetic before they learned he made $47.8 million last year.

As a football coach, I work with the whole range of players; from youngsters taking their first steps in the game to ex-academy adults playing semi-professionally.
These experiences have taught me that not every individual will respond to everything you try and coach them. Whereas some coaches may palm off these players as 'difficult' or 'bad players', I have found that if I adapt the way I deliver my session I can engage and ultimately get through to these players.
Anyone who has been involved in education during the past 10 years will be familiar with the term VARK. This is an acronym for Visual, Auditory, Reading & Writing and Kinaesthetic, four different learning styles that children (and people in general) use.
However grassroots volunteers may be unaware of the importance of these different learning styles and the effect their use can have on an individual. Indeed, the effectiveness of a coaching session can be drastically improved by accommodating all of them.
Before I go into any more detail, I will point out that there are going to be times when it is impractical to cater to every learning style. It should also be noted that, whilst most individuals have a preferred learning style, nobody learns exclusively in one style. This means that someone who is a Visual learner will still be able to take on board information in an Auditory way, and vice versa.
With this said, let's take a look at the four learning styles, and how they may be used in a coaching environment.
Visual Learning
I am sure most coaches have explained a drill over and over and still had players who "aren't listening" or "just don't get it". In most cases these kids will be visual learners who simply need to see a picture to understand the practice.
As a coach, the key with Visual learners is to make use of a variety of coaching props and materials. Tactics boards and white boards are fantastic, as they allow the individual to focus their attention on something physical. This could be in the form of tactics boards, print outs, iPads or videos of your coaching drills.
Whilst this may seem slightly unusual, think about your audience. Young people (from the ages of five upwards) will attend schools which use whiteboards, wall displays and projectors to teach basic skills such as reading, writing and counting, making it a technique they will be used to, and respond to.
Auditory Learning
Auditory learners prefer to hear things explained to them. The children that sit attentively during explanations and who tend to recall your Q and A answers later in a session are usually predominantly auditory learners. Sometimes these players aren't looking directly at you when you talk but they are concentrating on your words.
Auditory learners also like to have information given to them in a structured, almost linear fashion, in which progression and development comes in a natural order. These players might also prefer to verbalise their points as opposed to showing them to you.
As a coach, accommodating Auditory learners is a case of making sure what you are saying to them is clear and well organised. Delivering a session by explaining the set up, structure and rules will make understanding for Auditory learners much easier, and allowing them to run back the session to you verbally will help them consolidate their own understanding.
When dealing with Auditory learners, think about the language and terminology you are using. Asking a seven year old to "push out" is much less effective than asking them to "move forwards". Using a hundred words to explain something you could have done using ten only confuses players.
Read – Write Learning
Read – Write learners prefer to deal in text as opposed to other means of information, and this includes answering questions by writing as opposed to verbally or by doing. They work well using key words or lists, and learn by silently reading to themselves to take in information.
As a coach Read-Write learners are very difficult to provide content for as, ultimately, football is a physical activity that requires practical involvement. Having the ability to recall the name of a move or trick is not as beneficial as being able to perform the trick, and therefore Read-Write learners will usually have to adapt to one of the other learning styles when it comes to being coached.
However providing challenges on written cards, referring players to websites that can help consolidate their learning, and providing whiteboards and flipcharts with key information at training will engage Read – Write learners. This is something that can be built upon more and more as tactics are introduced in their early teens.
Kinaesthetic Learning
Kinaesthetic learners, by their very nature, learn by doing. They like to solve problems for themselves, take a hands on approach and would rather learn through trial and error than be told what is right and what is wrong.
A characteristic of some Kinaesthetic learners is that they talk slowly and, when asked a question, will take longer to provide a definitive verbal answer. Indeed, a prevalence of kinaesthetic learners in the elite game may account for the monosyllabic responses many footballers provide in post-match interviews.
As a coach, getting Kinaesthetic learners with a ball at their feet as soon as possible is the key. Ask questions in which the answer is a physical action is also an ideal way of engaging this kind of learner; for example, "how can you get past that defender?" or "can you show me a way of performing a trick using both feet?"
Dedicating aspects of a practice to simply letting players have a go and working things out for themselves is also key when dealing with Kinaesthetic learners. This also allows you to see which players is not picking up certain techniques or methods.
If you have a young child, or have ever seen one in their home environment, many of the skills they learn will be developed through Kinaesthetic learning. Verbally explaining how to walk or showing a diagram isn't going to help a one year old to stand up and put one foot in front of the other. They have to crawl, stumble and toddle about until they eventually pick it up.
Because bad habits can be established by constantly using incorrect technique, it's important for coaches to identify poor technique early. But it's also crucial that coaches give young players chances to work things out for themselves and gradually shape their technique.
VARK in Practice
As a coach, take a look back at your last session and think about how you delivered the information to the participants.
If you have a session coming up in the next few days, think about how you may incorporate one or two new techniques in to cater for all learning styles. If possible, try and identify the predominant learning styles of one of your better players, and one of your weaker ones. See if by changing the way that you deliver information to that weaker player, you see a change in how they perform in training. You will be surprised by how often a simple change in the style information is delivered changes the resulting actions.
How do you accommodate different learning styles in your coaching sessions? Let us know in the comments below…

Is a persons reality, meaning, and purpose determined by their choice of study/job?
We each end up choosing, either randomly or due to interest a discipline to pursue in college, or generally in life. For example, a person who chooses medicine spend most of their life in a hospital instead of traveling and seeing the world. There's always that exception of people switching careers suddenly due to hating what they do. But, in reality, most people tend to settle with what they have and not peruse any other kind of mental stimulation or excitement or desire to truly learn out of interest and self-betterment.

. o n u c ) V 1 i V If i 111 V 1 WEBER STATE-21 10 OGDEN 84408 FRIDAY. JANUARY 8. 1982 Vol. 42 No. 22 V. . S L -..,J I Photo hv Rolvrt Dummar fails to draw WSC crowd by Clint Wardlow Signpost Staff Melvin Dummar, named in the highly controversial "Mormon Will" of Howard Hughes, spoke in the Browning Center Thursday, to begin the winter quarter convocation series. Dummar, speaking before Weber College students, said that, although the Hughes will has brought him notoriety, he has yet to receive much money from the experience. Dummar contends that in 1967 he picked up Howard Hughes in the Nevada desert, giving him a ride back to Las Vegas. As a result, he was named as a prominent beneficiary in a will that was later delivered to Dummar's Brigham City gas station. Though a jury refuted that Hughes had written the will, Dummar said there was much evidence presented in the Las Vegas trial to support his story. "Melvin and Howard," a movie based on the events in Dummar's life since the time he allegedly picked up Hughes in the desert, was made by Universal Studios in 1979 and directed by Jonathan Demme. Despite critical acclaim and two Academy Awards, Dummar said the movie was withdrawn from circulation about a month after release because Universal said "someone doesn't like it." Since the movie, Dummar also kicked off a night club singing career in Reno, but it closed shortly after opening. Dummar was a student at WSC when the will was delivered to his gas station. He said he then steamed it open and read it, and what he found inside scared him Dummar stood to get almost $150 million if the will had been authenticated in court. Not knowing what to do with the will, Dummar went to the LDS church office building in Salt Lake City to see the president of the church. Unable to see the president, Dummar said he left the will at the reception desk. Dummar denied having any connection with the will until the FBI found his thumb print on the envelope. He then confessed to delivering the will, to the Mormon office building, but said a mysterious man from Anchorage, Alaska delivered the will to his gas station. Dummar was exhonerated for forging the will, but a Las Vegas jury ruled that Hughes had not written the will despite what Dummar said was "overwhelming evidence supporting my story." During the convocation, Dummar showed clips from the movie "Melvin and Howard." comparing them with the incidents as he said they happened to him. Though Dummar said he liked the movie, he noted that some liberties were taken with the story and presented him as "more naive" than he is. Although Dummar describes his life as frustrating since the will, he said it has also made life interesting. Quoting one of the songs from his Reno review, Dummar said, "Thank You Howard." "I don't care if anyone believes me anymore," said Dummar, "both Howard Hughes and myself know I told the truth." Council recommends bid for business building by Jill Niederhauser News Editor The Executive Committee of the Weber State College Institutional Council voted Thursday to recommend to the State Building Board a $3.28 million bid from Spindler Construction Company for construction of a proposed business building here. Fifteen construction firms had initially expressed interest in the bidding, however, three of these did not submit bids and one withdrew its initial bid. The 11 bids that were considered by the Council ranged from a low of $3.28 million to a high of $3.73 million. Included in these figures were the base bid, nine additional alternates and a temporary roof to be used during the construction period. The low bid was submitted by Spindler, home based in Logan. The construction company has contracted several buildings on the Utah State University Campus including the USU Spectrum. Members of the Committee indicated the State Building Board had in the past exhibited a fairly positive reaction towards the Spindler firm. WSC President Dr. Rodney Brady said the bids submitted were far less than the initial projected cost of the building, which was a base plus alternate bid of between $4.4 to 4.8 million. In addition to the cost estimates, the bidders were also required to submit an estimate of days required for building romoletion. These estimates ranged from 400 to 73U days, with the Spindler estimate at 520 days. Assuming that construction goes according to the projected schedule, the Spindler Co. would have the building completed in June of 1983. Due to a State Building Board regulation the committee must go with the lowest bid unless they can prove a loss of revenue because of an excessive projected completion time. As the proposed business building is not a revenue producing facility, after discussion the Committee voted unanimously that the lowest bid, that of Spindler Co. be recommended.The recommendation of the Committee will now be passed on by Brady to the State Building Board which has the authority to award the contract. Robert Folsom of WSC Architectural Services indicated that although the State Building Board is not required to abide by the Committees' recommendation, they most likely will. In addition to the actual building costs, the architect's fee, construction contingency fund, furnishings and equipment will bring the total cost of the building to $4.2 million which is still far under the initial total projection of $5.8 million. The funding for the building will come from private contributions, a transfer from the St. Benedict's Hospital Account and from the Utah State Legislature. Dean of the School of Business, Sterling Sessions, indicated that the goal of $1.5 million in private donations would be "achieveable." The Legislature, however, may only require private donations totaling $1.2 million, leaving $300,000 to "enhance the business -proaram." Brady said. In response to a question by Brady as to whether the new building would enhance the WSC Business program, Sessions indicated the facilities would be "adequate." l: :i !

The college, following the example of Hill Air Force Base, closed down at 1 p.m. Tuesday, but despite the heavy snow fall, many students braved the bad weather to attend the first day of classes.

As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

A new study found that one in 10 job seekers lost an opportunity because of social media activities, and 5 percent of 25-34 year old applicants lost a potential employer with their online profile.
Kate-Madonna Hindes, author and national speaker on online privacy and authenticity, spoke with FOX 9 News about the professional risks of maintaining online personas.
Q: To what extent should anybody be sharing their inner thoughts with the world considering what the consequences might be?
A: I often tell job-seekers that I counsel to really think about what you're saying online. Think of it this way: Have a microphone and walk out into the street. If you're not comfortable saying it with a microphone in the middle of Nicollet Avenue, don't say it online because it's searchable. We know that the Library of Congress is actually archiving our tweets. So, we know recruiters and hiring managers are looking for you online. Give them something good, don't give them something that will turn you away.
Q: What are the kinds of things that are turn-offs for potential employers?
A: I talk about the three "no-brainers." There's photos of you drinking or doing illicit things like drugs … swearing online, and the third one is just being rude and nasty. Those big three will turn any recruiter way.
Watch the video for more advice. If you're on mobile, here's a link: http://bit.ly/167w9ea
Hindes recommends utilizing tools to for online reputation management, including sites like 'BrandYourself.com' that can notify a person when a new photo is posted, when a new webpage is created, and when that hits the first page of Google. There are also free tools available online.

Sandy • It shouldn't have been close, really.
So said Michael Putnam after squandering a four-shot lead to start the final day of the Utah Championship.

In the end, it was steady Doug LaBelle II who hung around and picked off Putnam to capture his second Web.com Tour victory — six years after his first victory in 2006.
"I'm very shocked, especially the way Michael played all week," said LaBelle, whose 3-under-par 68, combined with Putnam's surreal 3-over-par round, was good enough for a one-shot victory Sunday at Willow Creek Country Club.
LaBelle, who had gone 94 starts between wins, set a Utah Championship record by erasing a five-shot deficit to win.
"I felt I had to shoot 7- or 8-under [par] to have a chance to win. I just tried to hang in there."
The $99,000 winner's check vaulted the Scottsdale, Ariz., resident from 92nd on the tour's money list to 14th. The top 25 earners for the season receive a PGA Tour card for 2013.
"This feels really good," said LaBelle, who now is in contention for a second try on the PGA Tour, which he played in 2007 and 2008.
"It's been pretty frustrating to play some pretty good golf and play enough to win and not win," continued LaBelle, who was also fortunate his minus-15 held up to win. The winning score was at least 20-under par in four of the last five tournaments. It was the worst winning total since 13-under won in 2005.
Meanwhile, Putnam, entering Sunday at 17-under, birdied the first hole to increase his lead. Then the wheels came off.
The five par 5s, holes Putnam had played well all week, proved his undoing. He bogeyed three of them, including 17.
Putnam's collapse allowed a handful of other golfers to get back into the tournament. James Hahn, who started nine shots back, Scott Gutschewski and Sam Saunders finished tied with Putnam for second.
And all had putts on the back nine to at least force a playoff. Hahn took a one-shot lead on No. 15 — 15-under — before bogeying 18. Hahn hit a poor tee shot on the par-3 finishing hole and missed a 5-foot putt for par.
"I hit a fade," he said. "I figured the best way to practice that is in competition. Granted, I hit a horrible shot, but nine times out of 10 I'd do the same thing."
Putnam faced a day's worth of mediocre shots, including hitting behind some trees and taking a bogey on the par-5 10th.
"I played terrible," Putnam said. "I didn't deserve anything better. I hit some really bad shots today. If I would have had an average day, I would have won the tournament."
Instead, LaBelle's consistency over the four days was good enough for the win.
In 2007 and 2008, when he was on the PGA Tour, LaBelle didn't feel he had the game to win and changed hitting coaches.
"I feel like it is good enough to win now," LaBelle said.

WNCN's Dane Huffman is writing live on all the games at the ACC Tournament. Here is the live blog from Thursday's game between Wake Forest and Maryland.
9:15 p.m., Terps win: Maryland lived to fight another day - this time, against Duke - in the ACC Tournament, while the Wake Forest tenure of Jeff Bzdelik appeared tenuous after Thursday's ACC first-round game. The Terps won this one, 75-62.
The Deacons led early in this one and had a second-half lead before Maryland surged ahead to take a commanding lead. Maryland is leaving the ACC for the Big Ten after next season. Maryland plays Duke in the quarterfinals Friday at 7 p.m.
8:55 p.m., Terps pull away: Maryland is pulling away a bit from Wake Forest right now. The Terps are up 64-57 and just playing with much more confidence.
8:40 p.m., tight game: Maryland and Wake Forest are locked in a tight game now halfway through the second half. Right now it's 54-52 Maryland, but this one has gone back and forth for a while. There is still 8:06 to play.
C.J. Harris has 17 points for Wake and is playing a fearless game. But Dez Wells of Maryland, who is from Raleigh, has responded with 19 points for Maryland.
7:58 p.m., big half for Deacs: Wake Forest had a strong first half as an underdog against Maryland. The Deacons looked quick and confident on defense and passed the ball well on offense, all leading to a 35-30 halftme lead.
C.J. Harris has 13 points for Wake. Not a bad first half for a program whose coach appears to have his job in jeopardy.
7:30 p.m., Deacons on a run: C.J. Harris just hit a beautiful three-pointer and the Deacon fans are fired up. Wake is now up 23-19 with 6:16 to play - hardly a scoring explosion but still an interesting game.
Remember, the winner of this game plays Duke, and you'd have to think the Blue Devils would be more interested in playing Wake than Maryland.
7:32 p.m.: Good game so far. There are two of the ACC's lesser teams, but there's been plenty of back and forth. Wake is playing well and looks confident. Right now it's 17-15 Maryland with 7:51 left in the first half.
By the way, the Wake pep band is going rendition of "Forget You." Doubt anyone in the arena is missing the irony of this one.
7:00 p.m., silence: Well, one question is answered. Wake Forest fans haven't been happy with the performance of the team this year, which is 13-17 coming into the tournament.
There is plenty of speculation about the job of coach Jeff Bdellium, and Wake fans made their feelings known at the outset of this game. The Wake fans cheered their team when it was introduced and the starters were called out, but were silent when Bdellium was introduced.
Maryland, by the way, wasn't particularly razzed by ACC fans despite the school announcing it will leave for the Big Ten after next year. You wouldn't think coming to this tournament would be a big priority for Twerps fans – their team is only 8-10 in ACC play – but there's a good representation from the school here.
Of course, once the game started everything changed.
As the Maryland pep band cheered on its team, one fan yelled, "Why don't you go to Ohio – where Maryland is?"

R2D2 Confirmed for Star Wars Ep. VII
- Written by Jeremy Shane on Tuesday, November 19 2013 and posted in News with Benefits
Source: Variety
Last week we ran a story about the R2D2 being up for the role of R2D2, and we hoped he would get the part. It all started when JJ Abrams tweeted an image of him with R2D2 and producer Kathleen Kennedy and a couple other people nobody recognized; it sparked the story that the droid may continue on as part of the new trilogy.
Variety has now confirmed that R2D2 will be in Episode VII and were able to find out the two men in the picture are Lee Towersey and Oliver Steeples, members of the creature effects team for Episode VII. Originally they met Kennedy this summer in Germany and impressed her with the droids they built as part of the R2-D2 Builders Club. When it came time to staff up the effects team for Episode VII, Kennedy referred them for the gig.
Surely, with R2 in the mix his good buddy C3P0 will join him?

HOUSTON, Aug. 3 (UPI) — Texas religious leaders and civil liberties groups have urged Gov. Rick Perry to cut his ties to The Response, a prayer event scheduled in Houston this weekend.
The Anti-Defamation League issued a statement signed by more than 50 leaders in the Houston area, the Houston Chronicle reported. The signatories included Christian, Jewish and Muslim clergy.
The Rev. William Lawson, pastor emeritus of the Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church, not only signed the ADL statement but plans to speak Friday at a "family, faith and freedom rally" sponsored by Americans United for Separation of Church and State and the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas.
"Governor Perry has a constitutional duty to treat all Texans equally, regardless of race, religion or ethnicity," the ADL statement said. "His official involvement with The Response, at minimum, violates the spirit of that duty."
The Response, a seven-hour event, is to be held at Reliant Stadium Saturday. Perry invited his colleagues from the other 49 states but only Gov. Sam Brownback of Kansas said he would attend, and newspapers in Kansas say he may have changed his mind.

Levy proposed for vacant city propertiesBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | December 13,2012A proposed ordinance would charge the owners of vacant Rutland City properties a $500 fee.
The ordinance, the first product of the blighted properties steering committee, is expected to go before the Board of Aldermen on Monday; then it will likely be referred to the boards Charter and Ordinance Committee.
The proposal also creates a registry of vacant properties in the city.
What were looking for is the ability of the city to keep better track of whats vacant, said Brennan Duffy, executive director of the Rutland Redevelopment Authority.
The fee, he said, helps create a financial incentive against leaving a property vacant. Owners can get $450 back, Duffy said, if they demonstrate the property is being actively marketed, under renovation or slated for demolition. Duffy pointed out that the refund would apply to the vacant properties downtown.
They are all being actively marketed by a responsible property owner, he said.
The steering committee was formed from different elements of city government to look at procedures for addressing blighted properties. The building and zoning office has reported a total of 140 city properties have been abandoned by their owners, and the city recently took possession of an occupied apartment building, effectively abandoned by its owner following a tax sale.
A recent housing study suggested a number of strategies for neighborhood stabilization in Rutland and even suggested a neighborhood to start in a section of the northwest quadrant.
One piece missing from the ordinance is the fine for not registering a vacant property and paying the fee. Duffy said that would be worked out, along with some language issues, before the board presentation Monday.
This has been an ongoing process, Duffy said. I think this is a step in the right direction.
The next step, he said, is for the committee to look at ways to encourage rehabilitation of blighted properties. He said he expected that work to start in January.

Strong Second Half Helps Morrisville Slip by SUNYIT
MORRISVILLE, NY – A strong second half helped the Morrisville State Mustangs get past the SUNYIT men's basketball team 66-60 this past Saturday, dropping the Wildcats to 2-2 in conference play and 2-6 overall. Morrisville improved to 2-2 in the NEAC and 3-5 overall.
After a sluggish first half in which Morrisville shot 32 percent from the floor, the Mustangs would heat up in the second half, shooting 52 percent that included going 4-of-6 from the 3-point line. It would be the reverse for the Wildcats, as they shot 44 percent in the first half before hitting just 31 percent of their shots in the second.
The Wildcats went into the half up 33-31 and would cling to a one-point lead, 52-51, with 8:05 remaining to play, but 12 unanswered points by Morrisville over the next five minutes gave them an 11-point lead with 3:21 to go. SUNYIT could not recover from the run, getting as close as four points down but ultimately suffering the six-point loss.
Senior David Golembiowski (Barneveld, NY/Holland Patent) returned from injury and led all scorers with 28 points to go along with 12 rebounds and a game-high five blocks. Senior Calvin Logins (Lyons, NY/Keuka College) registered 14 points and a game-high 14 rebounds, while fellow classmate Kevin Cappiello (Youngsville, NY/Sullivan West) dished out a team-best seven assists and had a game-high four steals while scoring six points.
Brandon Henry scored 15 points for Morrisville, while Dwayne Wade finished with 12 points, 11 rebounds, eight assists and two steals.
