O'Neal, a 15-time NBA All-Star and future Hall of Famer, visited the Portledge School in Locust Valley last Monday He shot around with the basketball teams and read a book to younger students the alley-oop from Shaq was the latest highlight in two seasons full of them After leading Portledge to an unbeaten season and a league championship as a sophomore the reigning IPPSAL Player of the Year is leading Long Island in scoring at just under 28 points per game Simpson, a 6-3 slasher who also can step back and hit the three-pointer, has drawn interest from many Ivy League schools "One possession he'll bring the ball up and the next he could be down low in the post," Portledge coach Nick Woll said "Some games he'll be guarding the other team's point guard and other games he'll be guarding the other team's center Sophomore David Lustberg also has taken on a larger role this season He has shifted to point guard from his natural position of shooting guard and is averaging nearly 16 points a game has become a reliable interior defender and is grabbing 10 rebounds per game So what brings a mega-superstar like Shaq to a small school like Portledge Al Palagonia -- the CEO of Apollo Jets a company for which O'Neal is a spokesman -- has three children who attend Portledge Shaq also came to the school in December 2011 "I travel with Shaq a lot," Palagonia said he's one of the most recognized names and faces in the world Did the players get any advice from O'Neal while shooting around with him "He just said if you have a dream, keep after it and work hard every day," Simpson said. "It's pretty cool that an NBA legend came down and talked to us."

"We started marketing the blond varieties in October with very positive results even though prices and sales have dropped with the arrival of competing produce from South Africa with the price range for large sizes ranging from €2/kg to €1.60/kg thanks to the experience passed on to me by my father I run the company according to the ethical principles I learnt from him - a far-sighted man who lived in a historical context very different from the current one in which the reliability of the person and the value of the 'keeping your word' counted a lot we conquered the American markets with the first mixed containers of oranges always remembered the phone call he received from a friend from Canicattì who told him that he had bought our Moro oranges in America We actually knew nothing about it: a load of our citrus fruits had arrived in Verona and our overseas export adventure began from there." and citrus fruit trade mainly occurs via email We are dealing with producer countries that follow different rules from ours in terms of food safety which is now very difficult to find in Italy." despite the complexities that the agri-food sector is facing sustainability remains one of the most important objectives for companies today Sustainability understood in its true meaning that which not only includes the environmental aspect capable of making companies and society grow." "Online commerce has been growing over the past few years: a channel that complements our sales through the big retail chains and the general markets to whom we guarantee fresh produce shipped just a few hours after being harvested The short supply chain helps us have a personal and unmediated relationship with the end customers in a relationship of trust between buyers and producers."

That includes uniforms for his four staff members contemporary posters and vintage furniture combined with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere and up-to-date skills (especially with children) honed from his experience in a city barbershop Basically he hopes to create his own brand "I wanted to make a shop that's above and beyond And when AJ's not serving one of those clients chances are very

according to the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy An impasse between Congress and the White House has left roughly 25 percent of the federal government suspended since December 21 (Pacific Time) Most of the Bay Area’s federally-controlled park areas are sticking out the shutdown albeit with diminished or suspended services that make visiting less convenient But the Park Conservancy a non-profit organization that helps facilitate park services “Muir Woods has been open but will close beginning Monday The National Park Service [NPS] confirms that Muir Woods will shut its non-doors soon NPS has not yet responded to requests for comment on why only some parks will shutter while others will remain open In December, KRON 4 reported that “Muir Woods is still open because of a partnership agreement [under which] parking attendants and employees who work in the cafe and gift shop are able to work during a government shutdown.” [Update: NPS spokesperson Charles Strickfaden tells Curbed SF “Thanks to donations from park concession operators Ace Parking and Muir Woods Trading Company Muir Woods National Monument remained open during the government shutdown January 6 and after that date the agreements will not be renewed MUWO will close and no services will be provided.” Strickfaden adds that a similar agreement with Alcatraz Tours keeps Alcatraz open (with limited service) during the shutdown An arrangement in Stinson Park is due to expire Monday as well.] The former landowners donated Muir Woods to the government in 1907 in a bid to preserve the old growth redwood forest Teddy Roosevelt declared the woods a national monument in 1908 The roughly 300-acres forest is one of the last of its kind in the state and some its trees are over 1,000 years old The

parking lots Locust Valley's Bairre Reilly controls the ball against Bethpage in the Nassau non-league girls lacrosse game From her position in front of the goal, Locust Valley defender Emily Schlicht had a perfect view of her little sister -- a streak up the left wing sisterly reaction to Maggie Schlicht's first varsity start "I think she did pretty well," she said With girls like Bairre Reilly and Kameron Palagonia it comes as no surprise that Locust Valley had plenty of production from its well-established starters in a 17-4 non-league lacrosse win over host Bethpage it was the new kids who allowed coach Kristen Hordy to relax early "We've got some new players," she said they're in action and they're doing good things -- getting ground balls and being aggressive and that's what we need from new players." Julia Palermo kicked off the scoring only 44 seconds in as Locust Valley scored the first six goals of the game capped by Palagonia's crease roll tally with 10:31 left in the first half and Reilly's score off a Palagonia feed twenty seconds later Reilly led all scorers with five goals and one assist and Palagonia had three goals and two assists; Julia Palermo and Taylor Bleistein had three goals and one assist apiece Gillian McGowan had two goals and an assist for Bethpage The Falcons led 11-1 at the half then pull back and get to girls cutting through," said Reilly "We're definitely going use everything we did today to carry us throughout the season." and the junior said that she's been whispering into her freshman sister's ear leading up to this debut Maggie doesn't seem to mind all that much she's really helpful and just gives me pointers and stuff," Maggie Schlicht said At first it was pretty intimidating but after the second half You could say the feeling among her teammates was mutual Trump's influence on NY's future ..

The 15-time All-Star and four-time NBA champ posed a question and repeatedly asked it of several members of the audience And with that, the 40 or so kids, who ranged from pre-schoolers to fifth graders, gathered at the Portledge School in Locust Valley to hear Shaq read them "Have You Filled A Bucket Today?" let out an easy A fierce competitor during his time on the court and currently a sharp-tongued NBA analyst he was as soft as the snow that fell just outside "I remember the first star I met was Dr So when kids see me being humorous and being funny A lot of times as a child you see somebody as a superstar But I've always been a person that image is reality In his second trip to Portledge in as many years, O'Neal taught the junior varsity basketball squad the proper way to shoot a jumper. He participated in a shoot-around with the varsity team. Stopping for pictures and brief conversations, he was a gentle giant, even refusing to take the bait on old teammate/nemesis Kobe Bryant "I'm not sure about that," he said simply when asked if the lackluster Lakers had a chance to make the playoffs "I think it's important that children see but how easy it can be done," O'Neal said But because I had great teachers like the ones here because I had great role models like my parents it made it very easy for me to be what I wanted to be: doctor But one kid out of here will remember this day."
