LAWRENCEVILLE-Jackie Adams of the Rider University field hockey team was named Northeast Conference Rookie of the Week for all games played the first week of the season it was announced by the conference office Monday afternoon.

\”This was a great accomplishment for her,\” said head coach Lori Hussong. \”She was effective inside the circle and put herself in position to be ready to score and that is what we need her to do.\”

Adams, a 5-2 forward from Medford Lakes, New Jersey (Shawnee High), scored twice in Rider\’s 8-2 season opening win against Lehigh on August 29.

\”I was really nervous, but at some point you have to put that aside and just go out there and play,\” Adams said after the game. \”We all came together and everyone helped out and supported one another. All of the goals came off of passes and if everyone works together, that is how we are going to score and get it done.\”

This blonde decides one day that she is sick and tired of all these blonde jokes and how all blondes are perceived as stupid. So, she decides to show her husband that blondes really are smart.
 While her husband is off at work, she decides that she is going to paint a couple of rooms in the house. The next day, right after her husband leaves for work, she gets down to the task at hand. 
 Her husband arrives home at 5:30 and smells the distinctive smell of paint. He walks into the living room and finds his wife lying on the floor in a pool of sweat. He notices that she is wearing a heavy parka and a leather jacket at the same time. He goes over and asks her if she if OK. She replies yes. He asks what she is doing and she replies that she wanted to prove to him that not all blonde women are dumb, and she wanted to do it by painting the house.
 He then asks her why she has a parka over her leather jacket. She replies that she was reading the directions on the paint can and it said….
 

You\’ll love this…
 

Yep. I know you will…

But there are three problems: One is that Christie has made statements supporting that bill — though if he read it he\’d realize it guarantees suburban towns will never get tax relief. The second problem is he still has not released his own property-tax relief plan, though he promised to do so six months ago.

And then there\’s the third problem: Christie seems to have gone into hiding. Usually at this point in a campaign, the challenger is running all over the state seeking to get in front of cameras and microphones. That\’s especially true when his opponent is one of the most unpopular governors in recent political history.

Since 1978, when the U.S. Congress created The Pinelands National Reserve, the Pine Barrens of New Jersey have been under the regulatory jurisdiction of the New Jersey Pinelands Commission, which is charged with its protection. Spanning 1.1 million acres, the reserve is the largest open space on the eastern seaboard between Boston, Massachusetts, and Richmond, Virginia. It lies next to the most concentrated highway, rail, and air-traffi c corridors—and the most densely populated region—in America. But if you stand on Apple Pie Hill, the highest spot (209 feet) in the Pinelands, what will you see?

New Jersey Schools Begin New School Year with New Graduation Requirements,
Academic Standards and Reforms in Many Areas

As children say goodbye to another summer vacation and begin the familiar rituals that lead up to the return to school, educators throughout the state are hard at work preparing for a year that will be punctuated by major reforms on many levels. These reforms are led by changes in state academic standards to reflect the expectations and challenges of the 21st century, and more rigorous and relevant high school graduation requirements to better prepare graduates for higher education and the workplace.

\”We are fortunate in New Jersey to have Governor Corzine’s unwavering support of our schools and students.\” said Commissioner of Education Lucille E. Davy. \”In the face of a fiscal crisis that has resulted in crippling cuts to education in other states throughout the country, Governor Corzine has kept education funding intact and in fact has increased it by $1.2 billion since he assumed office.

\”Beyond that, he has sponsored programs designed to assist our neediest and most vulnerable students, including students with autism and preschool age children who are economically disadvantaged,\” Commissioner Davy added.
