Our skin is a reflection of our inner health. Clear, moist and glowing skin is the sign of good hydration and diet, whereas excessively dry or oily, scaly or blotchy skin may signify a poor diet. There are many authorities that advocate the importance of food nutrients such as antioxidants, omega oils and anti-inflammatory compounds which is one of the reasons we see them showing up more and more in personal care products. Clearly, there is an interconnection between eating foods that maintain our overall well-being as well as healthy, radiant skin.
The list of nutrients that benefit skin is almost endless. For one, Vitamin C helps build collagen, the framework between the tissues of our body. Poor intake of this vitamin can cause bruising, loss of skin strength and elasticity, and poor healing of cuts. The small bright red acerola berry that is native to the West Indies and looks like a cherry, is one of the most potent sources of natural vitamin C and bioflavanoids known to scientists.
We incorporate the juice of organic carrots and acerola berries in our Carrot Essence to create a power-packed natural source of Vitamin C, Vitamin A (as beta-carotene), antioxidant drink that our fans love – especially during the warmer months when our skin needs the greatest protection from the sun.
One of the country's top dermatologists, Dr. Nicholas Perricone, has been recommending Green Foods products like Green Magma to his patients for years to support them with numerous health benefits, including: enhanced metabolism, anti-inflammatory action, cellular regeneration, detox, and cardiovascular benefits. In his latest best-selling book, Forever Young, he also emphasizes Green Magma as a great source of Vitamin K, which is important for blood clotting and bone formation.
In addition to organic green foods, carrots and acerola berries, here are some other foods that contribute to radiant, beautiful skin:
Avocados: Abundant in omega-3 fatty acids, supporting strong cell membranes; B-complex vitamins; lecithin, to protect cell walls; potassium; and anti-inflammatories that soothe and renew skin and tissue on a cellular level.
Green Tea: Infused with age-defying antioxidants. Minimally processed, it offers the most antioxidant polyphenols of all teas. It also include a specific catechin believed to inhibit cancer as well as beautify the skin.
Blueberries: With very high antioxidant phytonutrients, called anthocynanins, these little guys are shown to improve the integrity of collagen in skin and inhibit photoaging (sun damage) according to a study in the Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology.
Omega Oils: Uncooked oils are teeming with benefits for our skin because many their nutrients aren't damaged or destroyed by heat. Foods rich with omegas include chia seeds; flax seeds and oil; olives and olive oil; walnuts; and pumpkin seed oil.
Raw Honey: We have a beekeeper neighbor who brings us raw honey from her 36,000 bees. It is not only heavenly to taste, but so nourishing for our skin with many vitamins and minerals such as antioxidant vitamins A, C and E; D and K for the skin; reparative B complex vitamins. Also a wonderful way to help keep allergy symptoms at bay!
And finally, the key to ageless beauty is not just about drinking plenty of water, eating wholesome, natural foods and getting your Carrot Essence or Green Magma in each day. It's about maintaining a positive outlook with where you are right now – being kind and gentle with yourself and your body. With intention and commitment we will all get to where we want to go, so let's do it with a smile and enjoy the process.
Keep shining! And enjoy a safe and happy 4th of July!!

Yes, the New York Mets threw away another Matt Harvey start, but in fairness, the Wonder Pitcher also threw away Sunday's game in San Diego.
Harvey has 12 no-decisions and overall the Mets are 13-12 when he starts. Those are telling stats of both parties. For the Mets, again ten games below .500, they are equal opportunity when it comes to disappointing their starters.
Harvey, meanwhile, and he's the first to admit it, must do more of the little things, and not just pitch longer than the six he did Sunday. Harvey, who has made 35 career starts, desires himself to be a great pitcher, and others have the same projection.
That means not hit a batter with an average barely over the Mendoza Line and field a chopper off the mound.
Harvey gave Sunday's no-decision and Mets' defeat a typical "that's baseball,'' shrug, but you know he's steamed because he understands that loss was on him as much as it was on the offense and Pedro Feliciano.
The Mets scored four runs and Harvey has a 2.25 ERA and gave up only two runs. Do the math. The bare numbers point to Feliciano, who gave up a game-winning homer to Will Venable. However, a walk-off game is much more than the play that ended it.
Truly great pitchers don't hit the .208-hitting Logan Forsythe to open the fifth, and later that inning not come up with Venable's chopper that drove him home. The chopper would have been the second out and not made Alexi Amarista's sacrifice fly possible.
Had Harvey made those plays, he would have gotten out of the inning scoreless and picked up his tenth win. That's probably all he thought about on the flight to Minnesota.
The headline is Venable's homer, but walk-off games contain numerous plays earlier that mean the difference. The two plays Harvey did not make are similar to those not made by his teammates in his four losses, but more importantly, in the 12 team losses in which he started.
How many plays in those games did Harvey not make, by either giving up a walk, not closing out a hitter or inning, or failing to put down a sacrifice? It's tight as the Mets lost 11 of those games by a combined 18 runs. There is plenty of responsibility to go around, by Harvey and his teammates. One less bad pitch; one more hit.
Great teams, and great players, make the plays, and "great'' can't be applied to, either Harvey or the Mets. Not now, anyway.
This has been a scintillating, yet frustrating season for Harvey, as he sees the greatness that is just beyond his grasp, much like Venable's chop.
As always, your comments are greatly appreciated and I will attempt to respond to them. Follow me on Twitter @jdelcos

Linux Mint 11 Saves the Day September 19, 2011Posted by rm42 in Computers, Linux.
A friend of mine brought me his computer for fixing, a Compaq Presario with XP Home. It was in a reboot loop. I told him about Linux, and all its advantages, and he agreed to try it. I grabbed my PCLinuxOS CD and installed it in a matter minutes. Everything was working, but something about that particular hardware was not sitting well with it. It kept freezing. This is the first time I see this, as all other machines I have installed it on have been very stable. My guess is that it has to do with the graphics. The machine has and old built-in Intel graphics adapter. I did not have a proper graphics card laying around to give him, so I figured I wouldn't fight it.
I went online and downloaded Linux Mint 11 (Gnome).
I was disappointed only by one thing, my Belkin USB wireless card would not connect to my network. A quick search online showed that several other people had the same problem and I could not find any with a working solution. I was in a hurry, so I just picked up the box and placed it next to the router in order to connect it with a network cable. Everything else was rather smooth.
I like the look of Mint. I certainly give it props on the looks department. The "Software Manager" is well designed and newbie friendly.
I was a bit disconcerted by the fact that all users have permissions to access other users home areas. But, since it was not for me, I left it alone.
I didn't get a chance to test it thoroughly, but it seems to be a very nice distro. (I'll try to play with it a bit more latter.) PCLinuxOS handles my Belkin USB wireless completely out of the box. So, it is too bad that Mint didn't. But it is too bad that PCLOS had such trouble with that particular hardware. I didn't spend the time needed to get to the bottom of it. But, I guess the lesson is that if one distro is giving you trouble, go ahead and try a different one. Use what works. 😉

The newer X11/xorg does not play nice with older video……………

Nah, Linux Mint 11 is mostly for PC's having DVDs, not for the many of us who only have the standard CDROMs or CD-R/Ws.
Better to use MEPIS or PCLinuxOS for PCs with standard CDROMs or CD-R/Ws.
- 4. Fred - September 19, 2011
I would've used CrunchBang Statler Xfce edition instead (it's what I use, BTW). It's based on Debian Stable AND, at least with my wife's Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop, it properly detects the Broadcom wireless card in it. Can't comment on Belkin though, but I think that it certainly would've been worth a shot.

You should not recommend or comment any software with so little testing. It's quite common that software seems to be ok when first launched but does not work in real usage.

I'm a johnny-come-lately to this post but!? LM11 is precisely what I use now on my Acer laptop. Before now, I had actually been a Fedora fan, but the new gnome experience was a big turn off for me (believe me, I tried to like it). As a recourse, I defaulted to my favorite Desktop Environment lxde but for some reason it was too choppy on my Acer.
LM11 is a better fit for me than the commerical-Ubuntu. So it shares a comfortable spot next to Windows 7 on my partitioned Acer. Unfortunately, I'm not as proficient at manipulating the cml of the linux OS as I'd like to believe. So I'm going back to the drawing board on this one and learning from scratch. This distro is my ticket there.
- 9. tim - January 8, 2012
I installed Mint 11 32 bit on a Compaq Presario R3000. It didn't freeze while on the desktop, it just gave me the black screen after reboot. So restarting Mint in safe graphics mode, no changes made, it would boot normally as long as I didn't have any usb devices plugged in. One more thing, the Broadcom wireless didn't work, I didn't want to update Broadcom firmware (there were workarounds that way) so I use my tp-link TL-WN722N wireless usb adapter. It was plug and play: almost. If TP wireless is plugged in during boot, it's hit or miss. So this laptop works fine if I boot up the laptop, then plug in the TP usb wireless adapter. I'm novice to fixing this kind of issue in Linux. Am still working on it.
- 10. Gerard - January 18, 2012
I have found PClinux to have terrible support. They break updates. Only allowed 6 months during 2011 to update 2010 versions which was of little use to me as I was in hospital for 9 months during this period. Asked them for help as I do not wish to go thru full install. All they said was "Sorry!". Not trustworthy. Linux Mint better supports product and I will be changing to Linux Mint Debian. As a new Linux user I feel PClinux really gives Linux a bad name.

Sept. 15, 2005
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The Engineers set the pace of Thursday night's game against the Sharks right from the beginning and held back a late Simmons push to hold on 2-1. MIT took twenty shots and capitalized on just two, but it was enough for the Engineers to win and reach a 5-1 mark for the first time since 1995.
Anna Ayuso, who was coming off a five point game against Lasell on Tuesday, jump started the Engineers squad again. Ayuso registered the first four shots of the game and her fifth shot was deflected by sophomore Lauren McCarthy past Sharks senior goalkeeper Meredith Susi at 16:32 of the first half to give MIT a 1-0 lead.
Just over two minutes later, MIT came back for more and Lauren Nowierski found the back of the cage after a scramble out in front. The Engineers continued to threaten throughout the first half, but Susi was there for the Sharks to make six saves. Simmons managed only one shot in the opening frame against MIT's defense.
The Engineers defense continued to shutdown the Sharks offense early in the second half. Sharon Prange was quick to send opposing players back across midfield, and Simmons star senior Tanya Rego had trouble finding her rhythm. Finally at 35:43, the Sharks got on the board when junior Kim Lindsey rushed toward the MIT net untouched and blasted a shot past sophomore goalie Alexa Herman to cut the Engineers lead in half.
After the goal, MIT's defense stepped up again. Simmons rarely reached midfield until the last five minutes of the game, when a sense of urgency was obvious in the Sharks team. Rego came alive and made several attempts to tie the game on nifty rushes, but none prevailed. With under a minute left, Simmons was awarded a penalty corner, and Rego received the pass but wasn't able to get off a quality shot. Time ran out on the Sharks, who have now lost the last three contests against MIT. The 2-1 score also marked the seventh straight time that the matchup has been decided by one goal.
Simmons goalkeeper Meredith Susi had an excellent game in the losing effort, making six saves, all in the first half. Alexa Herman only had to make one save behind an overwhelming MIT defense.
MIT travels to Dudley, Massachusetts on Tuesday, September 20 to face Nichols College.

vim vs. grep : external quickfix/error file, cont'd
As an enhancement to my old trick of using grep with the VIM, I have finally come up with a solution which doesn't use the temp file:
$ alias vq="vi -c ':cgetb' -c ':cfirst! ' -"
$ grep -nr whatever . | grep -v garbage | vq
The trick is to use the new VIM 7.x command
:cgetb which retrieves the error list from the current buffer. So first suck in the output of the
grep into the nameless buffer, tell VIM to use the buffer as a error list and then with
:cfirst! to jump to first matching line (and discard the nameless buffer).
Note in alias the space after
:cfirst!: it is a secret ingredient to avoid bash interpreting the ! as the history expansion mark.

Snowden Awaits Response to Asylum Requests
Edward Snowden, the former U.S. government contractor holed up in the transit zone of Moscow's airport, has had slow responses to his requests to more than 20 countries for asylum. Bruce Orwall looks at the possibilities for Mr. Snowden.

Offenders can include: construction, demolition, remodeling, roofing, or landscaping contractors, general hauling contractors, operators of junkyards, automobile repair or tire shops, scrap collectors, local residents and "do-it-yourselfers". A resident may dump wastes that did not get picked up by local waste haulers, such as bulky items, carpeting, or household hazardous wastes. Dump sites serve as magnets for additional dumping and other criminal activities. In many cases, illegal dumpers are breaking other laws relating to vehicle licensing, insurance, drug possession or theft.
The costs to local government and industry associated with continuous clearing of illegally dumped wastes are significant. In recent years the County has spent up to one million dollars per year on cleanup, hauling, and disposal associated with illegal dumping. Without adequate revenue, the funding available to establish and maintain effective illegal dumping prevention programs is limited. These costs may be passed along to residents in the form of higher service fees or property taxes.

Noblitt's Goal Gives Wabash 1-0 Win at Franklinby Brent Harris • September 22, 2010 Share:
Sophomore defender Levi Noblitt broke a scoreless tie with the first goal of his career to give Wabash a 1-0 road victory over Franklin College Wednesday evening.
Noblitt took a pass from teammate Allan Swan in the 54th minute before blasting home the game-winner.
"We beat a much improved Franklin squad tonight," head coach Roberto Giannini said. "The match was very even through the first half with a couple of scoring chances for both teams. We wanted to turn up the rhythm of the game in the second half. We tried to attack on the flank.
"Our lads executed the game plan to perfection. We had good exchanges in the midfield, good penetration on the flank, good crosses, and all of that created good chances in front of the Franklin goalkeeper."
Wabash and Franklin each took five shots in the first half before the Little Giant offense erupted in the final 45 minutes. Wabash outshot the Grizzlies 14-1 in the final period with a 4-0 edge in shots on goal.
Noblitt and Bobby Thompson each had one shot on goal, while Swann, Dylan Andrew, and Phil Rosborough each tallied two shots on goal. Ian MacDougall recorded two saves to post his third shutout of the season.
"Overall I'm very satisfied, not just because we won, but the way we adapted. This is a good launching platform for our game Saturday against Hiram to start the North Coast Athletic Conference portion of our season."
The Little Giants will play Hiram at 12 p.m. Saturday at Mud Hollow Field as part of Wabash's annual Homecoming weekend.

Life has changed but somehow things are still the same, except with a baby in tow. I've been enjoying the slow days with Anri, the long afternoon walks and the late nights spent rocking him and bonding. He usually sleeps six hours in a row, then three more after drinking milk, so we've been getting lots of rest. I am back to writing a little, here and there, although my laptop is usually awkwardly propped on my lap next to a napping bebe.
I've been missing going to work, and actually went on a few assignments, yet every time I'm out I miss Anri so much and can't wait to come home. I do cherish those few hours alone and I always make sure to get coffee and peruse the shops a little while I'm out-- however, bebe is always on my mind and my shopping habits are more Petit Bateau, Bonpoint and Baby Gap and a bit less Zara and Chanel beauty counter… I'm looking forward to returning to work a few news programs per week from April, while being thankful my schedule is rather free and Anri doesn't have to go to a nursery school or day care.
The weather in Tokyo is very nice for February, just chilly enough with lots of sunshine. A few days ago I had a recording in Kagurazaka, the unofficial "Little France" of Tokyo due to its significant French population and Institut Franco-Japonais. I love that neighbourhood so much, it has lots of cafes and bakeries and I really should take advantage of the library at the institute (and perhaps to meet fellow mothers). I highly recommend visiting Kagurazaka, it's much more interesting than the usual touristy spots.

Dani Walker seizes another Athlete of the Week honor
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Lipscomb's Dani Walker has been named the Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week by the Atlantic Sun, announced Wednesday by the office.
The senior distance runner snagged the award after finishing first in the 1500 meters at the Vanderbilt Black and Gold Invite where she crossed the line in 4:21.
She broke the school record by three seconds. It also lowered her personal record by nine seconds.

Welcome to 1492: An Ongoing Voyage
An Exhibit of the Library of Congress, Washington, DC
1492. Columbus. The date and the name provoke many questions related to the linking of very different parts of the world, the Western Hemisphere and the Mediterranean. What was life like in those areas before 1492? What spurred European expansion? How did European, African and American peoples react to each other? What were some of the immediate results of these contacts?
1492: AN ONGOING VOYAGE addresses such questions by examining the rich mixture of societies coexisting in five areas of this hemisphere before European arrival. It then surveys the polyglot Mediterranean world at a dynamic turning point in its development.
The exhibition examines the first sustained contacts between American people and European explorers, conquerors and settlers from 1492 to 1600. During this period, in the wake of Columbus's voyages, Africans also arrived in the hemisphere, usually as slaves. All of these encounters, some brutal and traumatic, others more gradual, irreversibly changed the way in which peoples in the Americas led their lives.
The dramatic events following 1492 set the stage for numerous cultural interactions in the Americas which are still in progress - a complex and ongoing voyage.
The exhibit is divided into six sections:
- What Came To Be Called "America"
- The Mediterranean World"
- Christopher Columbus: Man and Myth
- Inventing America
- Europe Claims America
- Epilogue
You may view the exhibit by selecting any of the above sections, or you may choose to browse the entire exhibit by selecting

Scott Ian Reveals Anthrax Have Seven Songs Arranged for New Album
Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian has started a new blog on his official site, and his first post is definitely newsworthy. He covers several different topics, but the one that will make Anthrax fans most excited is they have been working on several new songs.
"Charlie, Frankie and I are working hard at new Anthrax," Ian writes. "We've had a couple of writing sessions and things are moving along well, fast for us actually. We've got 7 songs arranged musically and we're getting together again in a week and a half. The new stuff is aggressive, fast, even riff-ier than the last record and some of it is difficult to play."
"Nothing like writing parts that are above my ability as a guitar player!" Ian exclaims. "When that happens the drill sergeant in my brain yells "PRACTICE YOU LAZY F--K!" So I do. And I nail that s--t. I'm just getting into lyrics, song titles, nothing to talk about yet."
The wide-ranging post covers also covers topics like plumbing issues at his house and the Jonas Brothers breaking up, but Ian also recounts his recent experience at Eddie Trunk's 30th anniversary in radio party.
Ian and bandmate Frank Bello got to play a few Kiss songs at the show with Peter Criss and Ace Frehley. "To be playing songs that I grew up with, songs that have had such an influence on me, with those guys, it's just hard to wrap my head around it," Ian writes. "I've been friends with Ace and Peter for years but that doesn't take away from the enormity of the situation."

Nice grill
This is a nice grill. Easy to put together and all the parts were there. It was shipped quickly and I received it in good condition.

The shelves on the side are sturdy and fold down nicely when your finished with the grill. I used thread lock on all the screws so they won't loosen up over time.

Fast Start, Toughness Improves Little Giants to 4-0by Howard Hewitt • November 23, 2010 Share:
HANOVER, IN. – A fast start and strong finish was the right combination Tuesday giving Wabash College its first 4-0 start since 1997. The Little Giants rolled past Hanover, 68-55.
Wes Zimmerman's three-point shot with just under nine minutes to play in the first half gave the Little Giants a 14-point margin, 21-7. But the hosts narrowed it to three and trailed by just six at halftime.
The Panthers rallied behind Southport High School graduate Mike Case in the second half to pull within a single point, 44-45. The Little Giants responded with a 16-4 run capped by a Derek Bailey three-point basket, 61-48.
"That's what the road does to you," Coach Mac Petty said. "Teams aren't going to back off on their own floor. We missed some easy baskets when they came back. What I told the guys is you're getting an identity now, on the road like this, it's steel. Steel bends but doesn't break and that's what happened, we bent but didn't break.
"They never got it tied, never got the lead, and we got it right back up again."
Wes Smith led the Little Giants with 20 points on 7-of-13 shooting and 3-of-4 at the free throw line. Brian Shelbourne scored 10 along with six assists and four rebounds. Derek Bailey had an energetic effort off the bench scoring 10 and collecting four rebounds.
Wabash shot 50 percent for the night to Hanover's 38 percent.
It was the 53rd meeting between Hoosier rivals Wabash and Hanover.
The Little Giants will host the Pete Thorn Tournament this weekend with Otterbein, Randolph-Macon, and UW-LaCrosse providing nationally ranked competition.
Hanover fell to 1-2 with the Tuesday loss while Wabash's 4-2 start is the best in 13 years.
"We have a group of guys who are playing well together and understanding what we want to do offensively and defensively," Petty said. "I couldn't be more proud of them."

Alan Pardew admits Newcastle's defeat to Reading is a concern
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew admits it was a "painful day" for his side as they went down 2-1 to Reading.
By Graeme Bailey - Tweet me: @graemebailey
Last Updated: 20/01/13 11:06am
United looked in good shape at the break when leading through Yohan Cabaye's free-kick but two goals from substitute Adam Le Fondre gave Reading their first top-flight away win since 2008.
Newcastle are now just two points ahead of Reading and firmly entrenched in the relegation battle.
"It was a painful day for Newcastle," he told Sky Sports.
"First half we could not have played better, you could see the extra quality. At that point you'd like to think we'd get away from them, but second half we could not get a grip of the game and, as well as we defended, we gave away two sloppy goals.
"When you're down the bottom things go against you and we lost our way a bit. It was a tough day for us today, we felt we were in a really good place to win today and we couldn't and that is a worry."
The home crowd were furious when Cabaye came off on 73 minutes, but Pardew confirmed it was down to his recent groin injury as this was his first start for two months.
"We had to take Cabaye off because of an injury; that brought negative reaction from the crowd and that spread around," Pardew added.
"We need some impetus in terms of signings. It needs a little boost, to get everyone to get their heads up.
"We have lost Demba Ba and Cheik Tiote. We have got Cabaye back, but he is just on the first stage of his comeback. We needed him towards the end of the game.
"He said he was struggling with his groin. I did not want to take him off, but when a top player tells you he's injured you listen to him."
Pardew confirmed talks over the future of captain Fabricio Coloccini will take place this week.
"That is something we will sort out this week and hopefully we will in a positive way," he said.

The fall is always an exciting time at the Monterey Institute where faculty, staff and returning students welcome a diverse group of new students from all over the world. This year the incoming class includes citizens of 33 countries and speakers of 22 native languages. What they discover during the first week of orientation is that now they all have one important thing in common—they are all citizens of the Monterey Institute community.
As President Sunder Ramaswamy said in his welcoming address to the incoming class on Monday morning: "You are about to become part of one of the most unique and special communities on earth," not only because of the amazing scenery and wonderful culture but because "it somehow manages to be small and huge, accessible and international, all at the same time." He added: "It's not everywhere that you can walk down the street and routinely hear people chatting away in five or six different languages on the same city block—while competing with the cries of seagulls and sea lions!"

The latest phase of cleanup at the Centredale Manor Restoration Project in North Providence, R.I. is complete.
Last month, Emhart Industries, Inc., a potentially responsible party, completed an approximately $1.7 million short-term cleanup, excavating contaminated soil alongside and under portions of the Brook Village parking lot. The removal of nearly 2,300 tons of contaminated soil will limit the migration of contamination through groundwater into the Woonasquatucket River.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM) supervised the work done by Loureiro Engineering Associates and its subcontractors on behalf of Emhart. Key elements of the short-term cleanup included:
The Centredale Manor Restoration Project Superfund site extends down the Woonasquatucket River from the Brook Village and Centredale Manor properties, south to at least the Lyman Mill Dam. The Woonasquatucket River has widespread dioxin and other contamination resulting from the former operations of a chemical company and a drum refurbisher on its shores. First identified in fish in 1996, EPA has since documented elevated levels of contaminants including dioxin, polychlorinated biphenyls, VOCs, semi-VOCs, and metals in soil, sediment, and wetlands at the site.
EPA is developing long-term cleanup options for the entire site and will present them, with its preferred alternative, to the public for comment in winter 2010-11. The overall cleanup plan will address contaminated sediment, floodplain soil, source-area soil, and groundwater.
Walking, running, or bike riding along the river, and paddling a canoe or kayak on the river are ways to safely enjoy the river. However, people should wash thoroughly after any contact with the river water or sediment. EPA asks that people keep in mind the following Do's & Don'ts for the Woonasquatucket River:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The weather may have attempted to cause problems for the Lipscomb track and field squads at the Vanderbilt Black and Gold Invite, but that did not stop the team from prevailing against Mother Nature and finishing out day two better than ever.
"This was the best meet we've had at Vanderbilt since I've been at Lipscomb," said Bill Taylor, director of track and field. "Traditionally, for some reason, we've struggled for the most part at this meet.
"This year we really competed well, and despite really bad weather, we had some great results."
Freshman DA Lowery and sophomore Andrew Bosket competed in the 1500 meters and led all participants after finishing both first and second in the event respectively.
Lowery crossed the line in 4:00.35 while Bosket finished in 4:01.22.
"That was one of the best races of the day," Taylor said. "It was cool for Lowery to win his first ever 1500 meters, and Bosket ran for a huge personal record."
Earning second place in the 100 meters after posting a time of 10.55, Tucker Peabody prolonged his streak of season-opening triumphs.
Also capturing a second-place finish was Colin Dempster who ran the 400 meters posting a time of 48.08.
Freshman Juan Gonzalez gained back some momentum after sitting out the indoor season due to injury.
"Juan ran great in the 3000 meters," Taylor said. "He missed the entire indoor season and couldn't even cross train the whole time so to already be at 8:33.70, which would have been within a second of our school record before last week, is remarkable. It's a testament to how hard he races and how talented he is."
Alex Csorba closed in on a third place finish in the javelin with his toss of 53.22 meters, picking up a new personal record.
Taylor feels Csorba is going to continue to do very well in this particular event.
Some of the competitors in the field events had a rough day.
"We did struggle a bit in a lot of the field events," Taylor said. "I know the weather played a factor, but we still need to show more focus and poise to step up no matter what the situation."
Taylor believes the meet at Vanderbilt was the perfect set-up for the rest of the season.
The teams will be split going into competition next weekend, both with destinations sure to bring about warmer weather.
"Next week we split the team up among four meets, all of which are really good to amazing," Taylor said. "Stanford is the best meet in the nation for long distance. San Francisco State is the next best.
"Florida is amazing for sprints, jumps, and field. We are looking forward to big meet conditions and the opportunities they provide...and for good weather again."

Lions acquire '08 first round pick Lawrence Jackson from Seahawks
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on August 18, 2010 3:03 PM ET
Pete Carroll has showed once again that he won't show any favoritism to his former USC players.
The Seahawks traded 2008 first-round pick Lawrence Jackson to the Lions on Wednesday, according to John Boyle of the Everett Herald. The Seahawks will receive an undisclosed 2011 draft pick in the deal, which comes one day after Seattle officially acquired another first-round disappointment Kentwan Balmer from the 49ers.
Carroll quickly dumped his former player LenDale White after acquiring him, and it's a bad sign for Jackson's future that his former coach didn't want him at a thin position in Seattle.
Jackson wasn't a natural fit in Carroll's defense; he was going to be used as a hybrid outside linebacker/defensive end. Jackson was knocked coming out of the draft as someone that had inconsistent effort, and he hasn't beaten that wrap with only seven sacks in two seasons.

Martz: Bears yanked Cutler early because of blitzes
(Some of) you guys might enjoy this: Lovie and Martz put the skirt on Cutler.
BOURBONNAIS, Ill.The San Diego Chargers dictated how much Jay Cutler played in the preseason opener for the Chicago Bears last Saturday at Qualcomm Stadium.
Not Lovie Smith. Not Mike Martz. Not Cutler.
It was Martz, the offensive coordinator, who made the candid admission this afternoon that Cutler got yanked after eight plays and the offenses opening drive, which resulted in a field goal, because the Chargers were blitzing aggressively.
More specifically, ex-Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera, now the defensive mastermind of the Chargers, called blitzes on four of the games first five plays and six of the eight on the drive. Cutler was sacked once when running back Matt Forte did not pick up blitzing cornerback Donald Strickland, but he also completed two passes in the face of pressure and offensive line coach Mike Tice said he was happy to get the experience against the blitzes in the first preseason game.
Just wanted to get his feet wet, Martz said of Cutler. Everybody has a different approach to the preseason games. Our approach was to get him in there and get him some nice throws down the field, get him loosened up with the receivers a little bit. San Diego had a different approach to it and there was a lot of pressure. Were still kind of putting things in so when they are pressuring as much as they were in a preseason game, which is fine, everybody does that so it doesnt make any difference.
But we probably pulled him a little bit earlier than maybe I would normally. I just wanted to make sure we are further along with what we do before we keep him in there under that kind of circumstance.
Cutler was also hit by linebacker Kevin Burnett when he scrambled from the pocket on a play. The Bears obviously would have preferred he slide or run out of bounds. A big part of the Chargers defense is blitzing and the team played it vanilla in preseason last year. When the defense got to the regular season and began pressuring, the timing wasnt right. So the Chargers have made the decision to practice what they do during the season in preseason, and apparently the Bears thought it was too big of a risk to have their quarterback in there. As it was, Cutlers backup Caleb Hanie left with a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder when he was sacked by linebacker Antwan Applewhite.
The Bears will likely play their starters into the second quarter this Saturday against the Oakland Raiders at Soldier Field. What if they blitz like mad?
Thats a hypothetical question, Martz said.

Being a ****ty coach can also ruin a career, you'll note.
That Bears offensive line plus the Martz system is going to get Cutler killed.

But he's a damn good DC. The Chargers defense has improved significantly despite significant injuries since he took over for Fat Teddy Cottrell.
And the Bears defense has been a shell of what it once was since Rivera was in charge there.

Former Favre receiver could be joining the Vikings
Posted by Mike Florio on August 20, 2010 2:06 PM ET
Wideout Javon Walker hasn't done much since leaving Green Bay after the 2005 season. And one of his best seasons came the prior year, when his quarterback was Brett Favre.
Now, the two men could be reunited in Minnesota. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Walker is working out for the Vikings.
The history between Favre and Walker includes some rough patches. When Walker was clamoring in 2005 for a Randy Moss-style contract, Favre made his position clear on the matter -- he wanted Walker to get his ass in line.
"If Javon wants to know what his quarterback thinks, and I would think he might, I'd tell him he's going about this the wrong way," Favre told the Green Bay Press-Gazette after Walker skipped a post-draft minicamp. "When his agent tells him not to worry about what his teammates think and all that stuff, I'd tell him I've been around a long time and that stuff will come back to haunt you." (Said the guy who hasn't attended a minicamp or offseason workout of any kind since 2007.)
So Walker showed up, and he promptly tore an ACL in Week 1 while catching a ball thrown by Brett.
Though Walker might have some lingering animosity toward Favre, it's not as if he has any options.
If signed, Walker would provide depth to a receiving corps that has been hampered by a hip injury to Sidney Rice and ongoing migraine struggles by Percy Harvin.

Shawn Andrews gets six year deal from the Giants with little guaranteed money
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on August 20, 2010 2:38 PM ET
We called the Giants' signing of guard Shawn Andrews a low-risk, high reward gambit largely because we expected the contract terms to be very team-friendly.
The Giants held up their end of the bargain.
Andrews' contract runs for six years and contains "very little" guaranteed money, according to the New York Daily News. Andrews' agent said there is "more upside" in the second year of the deal, which probably means there are a lot of incentives built in.
The Giants' two starting guards are hurt right now, and the team could use some depth. Andrews will work into game shape slowly, and the team wouldn't classify him as a guard or tackle.
Basically, the contract should make it easy for the Giants to dump Andrews if the move doesn't pan out. And it will be very difficult for Andrews to play anywhere else or earn true market value if he manages to have a successful comeback.

It's make-or-break year for Jaguars' Garrard
By Jason Cole, Yahoo! Sports
Aug 16, 2:50 pm EDT
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – On the first play in the exhibition game for the Jacksonville offense, when all the planning and teaching from months of offseason workouts and classroom study are supposed to show a glimpse of hope for what's to come in a month, the Jaguars got a reminder of one big limitation.
The Jags are 23-25 since Garrard took over in '07.
Sometimes starting quarterback David Garrard(notes) just doesn't make the right choices.
In this case, the Philadelphia Eagles ran a simple play, bringing one of the safeties down on the offense's right side, occupying the primary area where the Jags were planning to throw. To most coaches, there is an automatic thing the quarterback is supposed to do: Throw it to the left.
Don't get fancy. Don't overthink the situation. Just make the read and go left, where there's likely to be one-on-one coverage. Or at least one less defender.
Garrard threw right. The ball fell incomplete, which was lucky for Garrard. The pass should have been picked off.
"Yeah, I probably should have gone to the other side," Garrard said, somewhat sheepishly. His voice drifts off as he defends his decision. It is, to say the least, unconvincing.
This is part of the pressure that has come to bear on Garrard as he enters his fourth season as Jacksonville's starter. Over his first three years, Garrard has gone from helping the Jaguars get to the playoffs with an impressive 18 TD passes compared to 3 interceptions in 2007 to being the focus of ire up and down the shores of the St. John's River.
Garrard hasn't necessarily been bad. But at a time when quarterback play is statistically better than ever, he has been ordinary at best.
From owner Wayne Weaver saying that Garrard needed to work harder and be more vocal like Indianapolis Colts counterpart Peyton Manning(notes) to coach Jack Del Rio tepidly endorsing him as the reigning starter to the obvious discontent among the fan base, Garrard is under fire.
"I want to see him get back to the 2007 approach in 2010," said Jaguars general manager Gene Smith. "He's asserting himself more … [but] he's at a stage where he needs to take a step."
Either that or the Jaguars could be looking to draft one of the top guys from what is expected to be a quarterback-heavy draft next year. Led by the University of Washington's Jake Locker, there are roughly a half-dozen juniors and seniors who could be available in April. That includes Andrew Luck of Stanford, Ryan Mallett of Arkansas and Christian Ponder of Florida State.
And no matter what the Jaguars say, they could easily be in the market for one of the top guys, particularly a signal caller who can make more consistent decisions.
"David is a guy who can make plays with his arms and his legs, do things to really help us out, but we need to do it as a unit," Del Rio said.
Del Rio meant that sincerely, but it's still damning with feint praise. The knock against Garrard, even from those who think he's capable of being a successful starter, is that he needs the team around him to play at an extremely high level for him to succeed. In 2007, the Jags running tandem of then-starter Fred Taylor(notes) and Maurice Jones-Drew(notes) was one of the best one-two punches in the league and the Jaguars were phenomenally successful on fourth down.
Over the past two years, as Taylor declined before departing and the receiving corps went into meltdown (the trio of Matt Jones(notes), Reggie Williams(notes) and Jerry Porter(notes) are all currently either out of the league or hanging on by a thread), Garrard's performance has withered to mediocrity. In that time, he has thrown 30 touchdown passes and 23 interceptions as the team has failed to make the playoffs either year.
Garrard has a respectable career QB rating of 84.9 and can run enough to be effective out of the pocket. Then again, this is an era defined by quarterbacks and doesn't appear to be changing anytime soon. From Tom Brady(notes) to Drew Brees(notes) to Peyton Manning to Ben Roethlisberger(notes), the NFL is loaded with talented passers.
"The quarterbacks are as great as any time," said Del Rio, who knows firsthand. He played during the heyday of Dan Marino, John Elway, Joe Montana, Brett Favre(notes) and Troy Aikman. "You look around and everybody is trying to get a great one."
Right now, Garrard is a long way from that company.
Furthermore, Jags fans are desperate for a game-changing quarterback after being teased by Mark Brunell(notes), Byron Leftwich(notes) and now Garrard, three guys who showed enough to be interesting but not enough to actually be long-term solutions.
Garrard has been sacked 84 times since 2008.
This offseason, fans hit the airwaves with pleas for the team to draft local product and nearby University of Florida star Tim Tebow(notes). After the Jaguars passed on Tebow and all the work that goes with making him an NFL quarterback, the fans have since moved their hope to Luke McCown(notes), a guy who looks the part but has yet to play it since entering the league in 2004.
McCown was impressive in Friday's exhibition, going 11-for-15 for three touchdowns against Philadelphia, including a 73-yard TD pass to Troy Williamson(notes). That said, most NFL talent evaluators see McCown as purely a backup.
Garrard knows criticism is intensifying. Pete Prisco, a Jacksonville sports talk radio host and CBS Sportsline NFL reporter, summarized his and a segment of the fan base's feelings about Garrard.
"He stinks," Prisco said on air recently.
Said Garrard, "I have friends who call me and tell me what's being said. They say, 'You should go on with Prisco and say this and this.' I'm like, 'What good is that going to do? He doesn't like me anyways, so what does it matter?' "
Instead, Garrard tries to remain focused
"It's about doing whatever I can within the scheme of our offense," Garrard said. "You can't fall into that trap where you say, 'This is a big year for me, therefore I have to make the big throws or throw the long touchdown.' You have to stay within what works for our team."
Starting with better decisions would help.

Spiller sparks Bills to 34-21 win over Colts
By JOHN WAWROW, AP Sports Writer
TORONTO (AP)—Chan Gailey described his first win as Buffalo Bills head coach as an important step for his team.
If that's the case, it was a big and powerful step forward provided by rookie running back C.J. Spiller(notes).
It took four plays into the Bills opening drive for the first-round draft pick to begin delivering on his dynamic billing by scoring on a 31-yard run and sparking a 34-21 win over the Indianapolis Colts in a preseason game Thursday.
It came in Spiller's debut as starter in place of veterans Fred Jackson(notes) and Marshawn Lynch(notes), who were both injured a week earlier.
The only disappointment was the small crowd of 39,583—more than 14,000 below capacity—that turned out for the fourth of an eight-game, five-year series the Bills are playing in Toronto.
"I think you can see tonight why we drafted C.J.," Gailey said of the player selected ninth overall out of Clemson. "Obviously, running the ball is what he does best. And he made an unbelievable run on that touchdown."
Spiller broke two tackles on his way to the end zone, and capped the score with a shifty double step that fooled Antoine Bethea(notes).
"I knew there were going to be a lot of people that wanted to see what I could with both of our guys down," said Spiller, who finished with 10 carries for 54 yards and a 2-yard catch. "It felt good to get out there and make a couple of plays."
The Bills offense followed suit in bouncing back from last week's 42-17 loss at Washington.
Trent Edwards(notes) furthered his bid to reclaim the starting quarterback job he lost midway through last season by going 5 for 8 for 93 yards, including a 70-yard touchdown pass to Lee Evans(notes).
The 14 points scored by Buffalo's first-stringers more than doubled the two field goals they had managed in their previous six preseason games, dating to last year. Rian Lindell(notes) hit a 24-yard with 22 seconds left in the first half to put Buffalo ahead for good, 24-21.
Peyton Manning(notes) and the high-powered Colts (0-2) didn't disappoint in what proved to be a wide-open and entertaining first half. After opening with a three-and-out, Manning engineered two scoring drives on the next four series, including a perfectly placed 21-yard touchdown pass over the middle to tight end Jacob Tamme(notes) on a third-and-9. Joseph Addai(notes) also scored on a 17-yard run.
Manning went 8 for 15 for 91 yards, with an interception that was returned 78 yards for a touchdown by Terrence McGee(notes). Manning was attempting to squeeze a pass into Anthony Gonzalez(notes) when defender Drayton Florence(notes) got his hand in, deflecting the ball directly to McGee, who ran it back untouched up the left sideline.
"We've still got some work to do. That's kind of what preseason is for," said Manning, the NFL MVP last season. "You want everything to go perfect while you're in there. That's not always the case, but I think you've got to have those kind of expectations."
Backup quarterback Curtis Painter(notes) had a solid showing after he was booed off the field while throwing three interceptions in a 37-17 loss to San Francisco on Sunday. On his second series, Painter drove the Colts 81 yards on two plays for a touchdown. After hitting Taj Smith(notes) for a 38-yard pass, Painter went back to Smith for a 43-yard touchdown pass.
"Curtis Painter certainly had a better evening," Colts coach Jim Caldwell said. "I think he played well, threw the ball well."
The big loser this week has been Rogers Communication, which has been under heavy criticism in the Toronto media this week for paying the Bills $78 million two years ago for the right to host the series, which runs through 2012.
Neither of the first three games of the series fully sold out the 54,000-seat facility.
The crowd that did show proved lively, but it's unclear how many paid full price for their tickets, which ranged from $75 to $275. About 15 minutes before the game, a group of three fans purchased lower bowl tickets, originally priced at $275, for half price from a scalper.
Though there were numerous fans wearing Colts jerseys, the Bills did have the larger contingent, and attracted several loud and extended cheers throughout much of the first half.
Manning took time to take in the atmosphere.
"I thought it was good. I didn't know what to expect," he said. "I thought the fans, it seemed like they were all having a good time up there."
Spiller might have had the best time, and attracted much of the praise from his teammates.
"I don't mean to single one guy out," Edwards said. "But I think what this means is we've got a really good running back. C.J. Spiller, it was a lot of fun handing the ball to him tonight. He made some good defensive players miss."

Larry Johnson gets start as Redskins host Ravens
By JOSEPH WHITE, AP Sports Writer
ASHBURN, Va. (AP)—Last week, it was Clinton Portis(notes). Now Larry Johnson(notes) has a turn at the feature role in the crowded competition for playing time in the Washington Redskins backfield.
Johnson will start Saturday night's preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens as coach Mike Shanahan continues to sort out how best to handle a trio of older running backs out to prove they're not past their prime.
"Larry's been very consistent," Shanahan said, "but I do see a sense of urgency this week. He's going to get an opportunity to showcase his talents."
The third back in the veteran mix is Willie Parker(notes), who will get to run with the first unit in next week's game against the New York Jets.
"We will get a chance to see these guys in game situations," Shanahan said. "We have had a chance to evaluate them in practice, but it is always a little hard to evaluate backs when people are not tackling them."
Johnson will turn 31 in November, Parker will turn 30 in November, and Portis hits 29 on the first day of September. Johnson's last 1,000-yard season came in 2006, when he piled up 1,789 yards with Kansas City. Parker last hit the four-digit mark in 2007, gaining 1,316 with Pittsburgh. Portis ran for 1,487 with the Redskins two years ago, but he missed half of last season with a concussion.
The additions of Johnson and Parker have put Portis on notice that he's not irreplaceable. Although he entered training camp at the top of the depth chart, he had to play more than his usual token amount in the first preseason game, carrying six times for 22 yards.
Johnson and Parker sat out the first game, waiting their turns. For Johnson, it's a chance to show he still has something left after declining performance and off-the-field issues led to his departure last year from the Chiefs.
"My body's still fresh and young," Johnson said. "People who sit on the couch, when they hit their 30s, they give up on the things that they can do (or) they used to do when they were 21. Being an athlete, you're year-round working out and doing the things you need to do to keep yourself that way, and so being 30 doesn't really change anything."
Both the Ravens and Redskins got off to good preseason starts last week. Joe Flacco(notes) led two scoring drives in Baltimore's win over Carolina, and Donovan McNabb(notes) threw a touchdown pass in his Washington debut in a victory over Buffalo.
The second game is usually more telling, with starters on both sides seeing more action. There's also the annual debate as to whether these two teams have an actual rivalry—or if they're just neighbors who get together every now and then. The Redskins barely broached the topic this week, but Baltimore coach John Harbaugh tried to talk it up a little.
"When you get on the field and you look over there and you see the burgundy and gold, and you see that that's the team you're playing, the competitive juices start flowing," Harbaugh said, "and I'm sure they will for them, too."

The Bears have seen a blitz before, right?
Mike Martz told the truth: The Bears pulled quarterback Jay Cutler after only eight plays of their exhibition opener because the Chargers were blitzing. Since when can you tell the truth in Lovieland, the happiest place on Earth?
Moving right along, one thing I can't understand is how players can work rigorously year-round to stay in shape, how teams can stage a series of mini-camps and offseason team activities that are mandatory despite the voluntary label, and everybody on the roster has played a lot of football, but yet, the idea of a blitz in an exhibition game becomes so scary and shocking that the star quarterback must be removed until the terror level is reduced to blue.
If there is hard talk of a two-game preseason, then part of the plan presumes a preparedness for all things football. That includes picking up the blitz.
Thing is, Cutler completed his two passes against blitzes. But then he got sacked on one play and ran out of bounds, and that was it.
Maybe it's a question of the Bears practicing against the blitz during training camp. Practicing effectively, I should say.
Said Martz: "We're still kind of putting things in so when they are pressuring as much as they were in a preseason game, which is fine, everybody does that so it doesn't make any difference.''
But apparently, it did make a difference, even though, again, we're not talking about some newfangled football tactic. The Bears have seen this before, and maybe I'm wrong, but the blitz is also something they should've expected to see from the Chargers. The Chargers play a 3-4 defense. Blitzing is what that defense does. Did the Bears think the Chargers would count to three Mississippi before rushing the passer?
The bad news is, the Bears new offense didn't get the snaps it had hoped for. The good news is, Cutler is able to take snaps in this week's game, something backup Caleb Hanie can't say. I'm not sure if that validates the Bears' in-game decision or indicts their offseason and preseason approach.

Cutler watch: QB completes 68% of camp passes
August 20, 2010 9:23 AM | 10 Comments
By Brad Biggs
BOURBONNAIS -- Jay Cutler wound up completing 68 percent of his passes in 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills during training camp.
The Tribune charted the quarterback throughout training camp to get a sense for how he was settling into Mike Martz's offense and to learn how the ball was being distributed.
Martz's offense demands accuracy with the quarterback often throwing the ball to a spot before the wide receiver has come open out of his break. Cutler completed 60.5 percent of his passes last season, his lowest figure in three full seasons starting. When the Greatest Show on Turf was clicking in St. Louis, Kurt Warner was completing more than 65 percent of his passes.
The charting project determined that Johnny Knox was the most popular wide receiver target based on time on the field and number of targets. He finished tied with Devin Aromashodu but Knox missed time this week with a sore hamstring. Knox, Aromashodu and tight end Greg Olsen were the most pooular deep targets.
Here's how it broke down:
323-of-475 .680, 10 interceptions
Name Catches Targets Short/Medium/Deep
Greg Olsen: 55-of-86 (50 S, 24 M, 12 D)
Devin Aromashodu: 51-of-77 (34 S, 31 M, 12 D)
Johnny Knox: 50-of-77 (23 S, 42 M, 12 D)
Devin Hester: 59-of-76 (32 s, 35 M, 9 D)
Rashied Davis: 20-of-39 (17 S, 15M, 7D)
Matt Forte: 27-of-38 (30 S, 6M, 2D)
Chester Taylor: 23-of-31 (28 S, 2M, 1 D)
Desmond Clark: -16-of-23 (10 S, 9 M, 4 D)
Earl Bennett: 7-of-9 (3 S, 4 M, 2 D)
Brandon Manumaleuna: 5-of-7 (4 S, 1 M, 2 D)
Will Ta'ufo'ou: 3-of-5 (5 S)
Juaquin Iglesias: 1-of-1 (1 M)
Eddie Williams: 1-of-1 (1 S)
Kellen Davis: 3-of-3 (2 S, 1 D)
Richard Angulo: 2-of-2 (2 M)
* Key: Short 10 yards or less. Medium 11-19 yards. Deep 20 or more yards.*

Mega Millions Drawn for Tuesday's $257M Jackpot
Ticket machines around New Jersey worked a bit harder on Tuesday in anticipation of the Mega Millions jackpot $257 million. But that jackpot is now up to $291 million for Friday's drawing as no one took home Tuesday's grand prize.
The numbers drawn Tuesday night were: 7, 12, 41, 44, 59 and the Mega Ball was 3. The megaplier was 3. One ticket was sold with all of the first five numbers, but not the Mega Ball. That ticket is now worth $1 million.
The multi-state lottery that sells tickets for $1 per play has not had a winner in 17 drawings going back to October 1. Tuesday's jackpot had a cash value of $139 million.
Mega Millions made several rule changes in October to allow for higher, faster growing jackpots without raising the ticket price. The game's minimum jackpot is now $15 million and will rollover a minimum $5 million when there is no jackpot winner.The game's second prize rose to $1 million and utilizes an optional "Megaplier" feature that increases the jackpot for winner who match that number as well.
New Jersey has been a very lucky state for jackpot winners in the Powerball and Mega Millions games. Angel Guallpa-Mayancela of Orange claimed a jackpot of $89 million in January, Giuseppe "Joe" Garofalo of Tinton Falls won a $99 million jackpot in May while Darryl and Judy Smith of Mays Landing also won a $30 million jackpot in May.
Those winnings were overshadowed by the larger jackpots for Powerball also sold in New Jersey this year. Two of three winning Powerball tickets for a $411 million jackpot in August were sold to the "Ocean's 16" group of Ocean County employees who pooled their money to purchase a ticket and Mario Scarnici of Monmouth Junction.
Pedro Quezada of Passaic won a $338 million Powerball jackpot in March but has since run into legal issues with a former girlfriend who claims she should be awarded part of the jackpot since they have been in a relationship for 10 years, have a child together and are business partners in a Passaic grocery store.
Tickets for Mega Millions are sold in 43 states and the District of Columbia including New York, Pennsylvania and Delaware.
