Pathology in the Stony Brook University School of Medicine. Just last month, Professor Iwao Ojima, Distinguished Professor Department of Chemistry and Director of the Institute of Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery, mentored Raghav Tripathi, recipient of a $10,000 scholarship and sixth place in the Siemens Science Competition.

Bellone Gives Keynote Address County Executive Steve Bellone discussed his efforts to create local jobs and improve government efficiency when he addressed more than 800 business representatives and elected officials at the Long Island Association’s annual State of the Counties Report Breakfast. Bellone and Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano served as the key presenters at the event. Bellone highlighted the positive relationship which has developed with the Suffolk County legislature and the executive branch of government, a relationship that was nonexistent over the past several years. This improved relationship has led to government working for the residents of Suffolk County in a unified manner and focused on actually solving problems including reducing the size of county government by more than 700 positions since Bellone took office. Suffolk County’s improved

relationship with the State has also provided Suffolk County residents with one of the most successful State agendas to date. From day one, County Executive Bellone’s priority has been to grow Suffolk County’s economy. “Young people are leaving the Long Island region at record rates,” said County Executive Bellone. “We have a lack of quality affordable housing, a lack of high paying jobs, and high volume of traffic on our roadways. The only way to combat these problems is to create sustainable long-term economic growth.” Bellone highlighted Connect Long Island as the answer to creating sustainable growth in Suffolk County. Connect Long Island is a comprehensive regional transportation and development plan that compliments Suffolk County’s assets: worldclass educational and research facilities and major infrastructure

ANOTHER N SUGGESTIOUR FROM O R READE SURVEY! jlynn@theneighbornewspapers.com

www.facebook.com/instepwithjamie

Racing To The Finish By: Jamie Lynn Ryan No matter how much of a “head start” I get on the week, I always feel completely overwhelmed by the time Friday comes around. Is it just me? Do I subconsciously slow down the pace as the week progresses, forcing everything to pile up at the end? Or does the list of “To Do” items continuously outweigh the “Done” section, as seven more tasks are added for every two accomplished? So it would seem. And all this without taking a day off. Imagine if, by some sheer loss of judgement, I actually tried to cram everything into four days,

rather than five. What would happen then? Not that the weekends are particularly restful and relaxing either, mind you. No, they pretty much consist of two days of nonstop running around, back and forth across the Island, in a fruitless effort to mix chores, errands and maybe a touch of recreation thrown in for good measure (read: mental health). When did my schedule become so insane? Seems like it was not so long ago that I had quite a bit more free time on my hands, even days when I was somewhat bored. Imagine that. Sort of makes you wish for the days back in elementary school when you

would make it about three days into summer vacation before whining that there was “nothing” to do. Ah, to be that young and innocent again. Nowadays, most people work overtime leading up to and following a “vacation,” only to have it interspersed by checking e-mails, voicemails and “touching base” to make sure everything is running smoothly in their absence. I can’t remember the last time I spent even a handful of days completely cut off from the rest of the world. Sounds nice, doesn’t it? Sounds like a plan, in fact. Once I catch up on the week. If I ever do :)

improvements in the pipeline including the Long Island Railroad’s Double Track Project. He emphasized the need to create a transportation infrastructure that connects these assets with vibrant downtown developments, improved North-South transit connections and innovation zones designed to attract, retain and grow clusters of businesses around existing and enhanced transportation corridors, research institutions and municipal land. Among the North-South mass transit connections, Bellone’s plan calls for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). BRT is an innovative, high capacity, public transit solution that can significantly improve mobility as an extension of the LIRR service. There is currently a study underway analyzing BRT along the Route 110 corridor, which is home to 135,000 jobs. In the future BRT lanes on the Sagtikos

Parkway can provide a connection to the Deer Park Train Station, the Heartland Development, Kings Park Train Station and existing downtowns. A BRT lane along Nicolls Road would provide a connection to Stony Brook University, Suffolk County Community College’s Selden campus and Patchogue Village. Bellone also called for improving mass transit by expanding electrification of the LIRR to Stony Brook University, Patchogue Village and to Brookhaven National Laboratory at the Yaphank station. However, Bellone cautioned that in order for Suffolk County to experience true economic growth the procedural hurdles that exist for businesses must be streamlined and he pledged to work with the Suffolk County legislature to address these issues in an effort to move Suffolk County’s economic agenda forward.

Caring For Granite Countertops (NAPSI)—Granite countertops are the most popular option available when it comes to kitchen or bathroom remodeling. They look great, they’re durable, but they can also cost thousands of dollars. Granite requires special care and attention because it’s a natural stone. Here are a few tips to help you protect your investment: • Seal your countertops: According to the Marble Institute of America, an industry group, granite countertops should be sealed so that the stone is more resistant to dirt and spills. Check with the manufacturer or retailer about the best kind of sealer to use on food preparation areas. • Be careful what

you clean with: Never use ammonia—based products-or cleaners containing vinegar, lemon or orange—on your granite countertops. Avoid abrasive cleaners such as dry or soft cleansers. Don’t use cleaning products that contain acid such as bathroom, grout, or tub and tile cleaners. Specialty granite cleaners can be used, but they can be expensive. There’s a way to stretch your dollars. • Mind your budget: JAWS Glass & Hard Surface Cleaner (www.jawscleans. com) cleans granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, glass and even your flat-screen TV. It’s also non-toxic and costs less than most other cleaners because each

JAWS product is actually two bottles in one. (The cartridge refill is attached to the bottle.) There are also some other basic preventive measures you can take to protect your granite countertops: • Use coasters: Place a coaster under all glasses, particularly those containing alcohol or citrus juices that can etch or dull the surface of many stone countertops. • Use trivets or mats: They’ll protect your granite countertop from hot dishes and help avoid scratches. Granite countertops can really add spark to a kitchen or bathroom. Proper care will keep them looking beautiful.

After reviewing over 80 applications and interviewing sixteen highly qualified candidates, the Board of Directors of the Art League of Long Island has chosen Charlee Miller to be its new Executive Director. Board Chairman Fred Avril notes that “Charlee Miller’s experience in both the business and not-for-profit worlds, plus her abiding belief in the power of art to enrich lives, make her ideally suited to lead the Art League through the economic challenges that lie ahead.” Ms. Miller comes to the Art League after a thirty-seven year career in the banking industry. For eighteen years she served in branch management, regional sales and marketing, human resources and operations in Long Island, Queens and Manhattan at National Westminster Bank USA. Charlee enjoyed an equally long tenure at

JP Morgan Chase as Vice President responsible for management, business development, sales, marketing and customer service to mid-size and large corporations both local and national. This varied experience has given her the skills to broaden the Art League’s base of support, deepen existing relationships, manage costs, enhance programs and empower the staff to develop and grow. Her knowledge of the demands facing notfor-profit organizations derive from her fourteen years as Board member and Treasurer of DebRA of America, Inc., an organization committed to research toward a cure for Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa, a devastating skin disease, and advocating for patients and their families. Charlee also has a strong record of civic activities. In 2000 she was awarded the Women in Urban Living Scholarship at Marymount Manhattan College for fieldwork with the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone, President Clinton’s project to revitalize the Harlem business district. Then in 2007 she was appointed by Governor Pataki to serve on the board of the Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation,

a public-benefit corporation responsible for the development of Roosevelt Island. During her three-year term she was directly involved in the project to replace the 30-year-old tram connecting the island to Manhattan. Charlee Miller is a Financial Planning Professional, an Accredited Domestic Partner Advisor (ADPA) and a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC), granted by the College of Financial Planning. Her involvement with the visual and plastic arts began in 2004, when she enrolled in the pottery studios at Earthworks in Manhattan. She pursued her interest in portrait and figure sculpture at the West Side Y, the 92nd Street Y, and the Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina. Having moved from Manhattan to Eastport two years ago, she began taking weekend ceramics classes at the Art League of Long Island prior to her appointment. A firm believer in the power of the art-making process to heal and enrich life, Charlee is “looking forward to getting out into the community to discover how the Art League can add value to the lives and families on Long Island.”

Gas-Saving Tips (NAPSI)—Conserving gasoline saves motorists money and lessens America’s dependence on foreign oil. These gas-saving tips are from the experts at the nonprofit National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE), the group that tests and certifies automotive technicians. • Keep tires properly inflated and wheels in alignment. • Clean out clutter and unnecessary items to lessen the burden on the engine.

• Consolidate trips and errands; try to travel when traffic is light to avoid stopand-go conditions. • Go easy on sudden, hard accelerations; don’t speed; anticipate traffic patterns ahead and adjust your speed gradually. • Keep the engine running at its peak by replacing filters and fluids as recommended in the owner’s manual and having engine performance problems such as rough idling corrected. • Use windows and airconditioning wisely. At highway speeds, it’s better

to keep windows up (and air-conditioning on, if wanted) to reduce air drag. But turn off the A/C in stop-and-go traffic to save fuel. Visit www.ase.com for car care tips, advice on finding an auto technician and more.

Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci recently honored Christopher McPartland during his Eagle Scout Court of Honor. McPartland, who first became a Tiger Scout in 2002, earned his Eagle Scout Badge on May 14th. “It was a privilege to share such an important day with Christopher and

his family,” said Lupinacci. “Earning his Eagle Scout Badge took years of dedication, determination and perseverance. It is not just the accomplishment which should be honored, however, but also his dedication to his fellow Troop 34 members and the Huntington community. I would like to once again

congratulate him on his accomplishment and wish him continued success in the years to come.” McPartland is a member of Scout Troop 34 in Huntington. Throughout his time as a Scout, Christopher has earned 28 merit badges. Troop 34 is lead by Scoutmaster Steve Cammer.

Schools for Half Hollow Hills. “The fact that their knowledge and research in the various fields of science actually benefit the world is phenomenal.

I am also so appreciative of my mentor, Dr. Miriam Rafailovich, and Yingjie Yu for helping me conduct my research at Stony Brook University. I am privileged to have had the opportunity to conduct such cutting-edge research, and I am excited to continue my work!” From the group of 300 semifinalists nationwide, 40 finalists will be chosen to attend the Intel Science Talent Institute in Washington, D.C. in midMarch. In Washington, the finalists will participate in a final judging process and compete for national scholarships, including the top prize in the amount of $100,000.

Cell Phone Donation Americans will replace an estimated 150 million cell phones this year, and many of those unwanted cell phones will be stuffed into desk drawers or thrown in boxes. That is why Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci has registered his District Office in Huntington Station as an official drop-off site for Cell Phones for Soldiers in an effort to encourage people to donate their old cell phones for a great cause. Cell Phones for Soldiers is a non-profit which collects thousands of unwanted cell phones

each month and sends the phones to ReCellular. ReCellular then pays the organization “Cell Phones for Soldiers” a fee to afford millions of pre-paid calling cards for U.S. troops stationed overseas. “I hope that my constituents will join me in this important effort,” said Assemblyman Lupinacci. “By donating a cell phone, you will be giving a service member the ability to call home and stay in touch with their loved ones”. To help our troops call home by donating your old cell phone, please stop

demonstrates the best traits of society, dedication, duty and generosity,” said Lupinacci. “It was humbling to be surrounded by so many men and women who so selflessly make sacrifices for the betterment of our community. I would like to wish Chief Steenson and all the members of Huntington Manor a safe and healthy year.” As part of the dinner, the department paid special honor to those members who made the ultimate sacrifice, including Honorary Chief Nicholas Marzen (Hose Company

#1), Chief Ernest Kannig Sr. (Hook and Ladder Company), Honorary Chief Lloyd Coughlin (Hook and Ladder Company), Chief Peter Nelson, (Hose Company #1) and Honorary Chief Richard Holst (Hook and Ladder Company). The Huntington Manor Fire Department is lead by Chief Frederick Steenson, Jr., 1st Assistant Francis McQuade, 2nd Assistant Michael DePasquale and 3rd Assistant Jon A. Hoffmann, as well as Board of Fire Commissioners Chairman Michael Pastore.

Harborfields Central School District is proud to announce that on January 9th, senior Jacob Wax was named a semifinalist in this year’s Intel Science Talent Search Competition. Jacob is among 53 students from Long Island and only 300 nationwide to reach the semifinals. Jacob’s project, “Investigating the Sensitivity and Specificity of Potentiometric Biosensor Mechanism through Bacteria and Bacterial Spore CrossTesting,” came about while he was attending the Garcia MRSEC Research Project at Stony Brook University. During this seven-week program, Jacob had the opportunity to work with his mentor, Dr.

Miriam Rafailovich of the university’s engineering department, and graduate students, who worked in concentrated areas of the program. With an interest in biology and engineering and the understanding that biosensors contain both, Jacob began his work on one area of the research, which he took from a larger project started in 2008. “The purpose of the project is to see if a biosensor (any mechanism in which a biological stimulus is turned into an electrical response) is able to determine whether or not certain bacteria are present in a sample,” explained the young researcher. “I am hoping to go back and develop more data and results.” In recognition of his outstanding research project, Jacob was presented with $1,000, and an additional $1,000 will be applied toward furthering the district’s related programs. “I am so honored to be representing Harborfields High School as a 2013 Intel Semifinalist,” remarked

worked tirelessly to achieve this honor and they deserve the praise they receive,” said Lupinacci. “Becoming an Eagle Scout isn’t just about completing merit badges. It means they’ve become men of action; that they use each day to make the world a more courteous and friendly place. I would like to extend a special

thanks to the parents, scoutmasters and families of all three boys, who sacrificed their time and energy to help them reach their goal. It is reassuring to know that Long Island has such worthy young leaders to help inspire future generations.”

Alisa, a sophomore, scored a perfect six out of six. “This is a difficult feat that is usually only accomplished by a handful of students countywide per competition,” remarked the team’s adviser, Thomas Bennett. “It’s the first

time a sophomore has earned this distinction for Harborfields.” The team meets weekly to discuss problemsolving techniques. Members enjoy competing interscholastically while improving their math skills at the same time.

“Bringing together members of the different legislative bodies from both sides of the aisle provided the students with keen insight into the job of a legislator, how government impacts their daily lives and the various roles a legislator plays in government,” said Lupinacci. “I want to thank my colleagues for partaking in the program. Long Island is blessed to be home to so many individuals who work

every day to make our community a better place to live.” The NOAH program is designed to identify and assist nontraditional students whose educational experience and economic status did not provide them with the opportunity to develop their scholastic abilities to the level necessary for undergraduate admission and study at Hofstra. The program was initiated in 1964.

Ultimate Ascent

More than 800 teenagers from Long Island and metropolitan New Yorkarea schools converged at the Javits Center at Stony Brook University on January 5th for a local kickoff of the FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC®) where they learned details of a new robotics game called “ULTIMATE ASCENT” “FIRST isn’t about competing, it’s about cooperating and recognizing that, if you have the right tools, you’ll be able to make this world a better place for yourself and for the country,” said FIRST Founder Dean Kamen. “There is no stimulus package that will have as much return as stimulating a bunch of kids to become the workforce of the future, the problem solvers, the creators of the future.” Working with adult Mentors, FRC teams must determine their strategy and have six weeks to build, program, and test their robots to meet the season’s engineering challenge. In the game “ULTIMATE ASCENT,” two alliances of three teams compete on a 27-by-54-foot playing field as they try to shoot as many flying discs into their goals as possible during the 2-minute, 15-second match. Discs scored in higher goals score Alliances more points. Alliances are awarded bonus points if they are balanced on bridges at the end of the match. Matches end with

robots attempting to climb up pyramids located near the middle of the field. In addition, SBPLI held a special session for the students’ parents in which they learned about the organization, its mission and the impact of the robotics programs on the students’ lives, both academically and professionally. The parents also learned that the 2013 SBPLI Regional event could be the last one without substantial new funding. An interactive session followed in which the parents provided suggestions for fundraising activities and ways to reach other parents in the program. At Saturday’s kickoff, teams were shown the game field and received a kit of parts made up of motors, batteries, a control system, a PC, and a mix of automation components — but no instructions. Once these young inventors create a robot, their teams participate in competitions that measure the effectiveness of each robot, the power of collaboration, and the determination of students. The FRC kickoff was sponsored by SchoolBusiness Partnerships of Long Island, Inc. (SBPLI), which has also sponsored the Long Island Regional FRC for the past thirteen years, and Stony Brook University. Sponsors provide resources including time and talent from professional mentors,

services, equipment, financial contributions, and/or volunteers. “This proves to be an exciting time for the students and the mentors when they learn the name and the rules of the game for this year’s FIRST Robotics Competition,” said Ginny Greco, FRC Director, SBPLI. “We are very proud to present the FRC kickoff as we prepare for the upcoming Long Island Regional FRC in April.” During the 2013 season, 50 teams from Long Island, New York City, the surrounding area and the Republic of Brazil will convene at Hofstra University for the Long Island Regional FRC on April 4-6, culminating in the 2013 FIRST Championship on April 24th-27th at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, Missouri. “The next six weeks will be crucial for these students as they design and construct their robots for this competition,” Ms. Greco said. “The Long Island Regional FIRST Robotics Competition showcases the talents of these students who learn not only the basic technological aspects of building their robots, but also about other concepts such as teamwork, problem solving and gracious professionalism.” For more information, visit http://www.sbpli.org.

Naturally Lowering Cholesterol (NAPSI)—If living a healthier life is your cup of tea, you may be interested in an easy way to improve your health—using the natural antioxidant powers of tea. Almost half of all Americans are overweight and have dangerously high levels of cholesterol. Heart attacks are still the No. 1 killer in the U.S. The problem is that high cholesterol and your risk

may be greater than you think. According to American Heart Association guidelines, the acceptable level of “bad cholesterol” is 30 percent lower than it used to be only a few years ago. This means that millions of Americans, including those who never dreamed they were at risk, now are. Fortunately, there are natural, nonprescription

alternatives for lowering cholesterol. For example, heart-healthy products such as TeaFlavin, an all-natural, caffeine-free capsule made from tea extract, contain as much cholesterol-fighting power as 35 cups of green tea. For more information on TeaFlavin, visit www. teaflavin.com or call (800) 876-4332.

health care is delivered and reimbursed,” said Kevin Dahill, president/ CEO of the NSHC. “There are components in the law that will affect just about everyone.

In the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy and string of threats to Long Island schools and students, nearly 100 administrators from K-12 schools, school districts and institutions of higher education recently attended the School Safety Forum: Transforming Our Schools, Violence Prevention and Crisis Planning, an educational program and luncheon that was hosted by A+ Technology and Security Solutions, a nationally respected leader in school security technology and systems. “We hosted this event to discuss school security topics with local school administrators. These individuals are faced with a daunting task of protecting children, facilities and assets 24/7, 365 days each year. At this forum we discussed challenges and also outlined best school security practices. It was important for us to provide this information now as well as educate administrators about currently and future school security technology solutions,” David Antar, President of A+ Technology and Security Solutions.

According to panelist and District Superintendent of Nassau BOCES, Dr. Thomas L. Rogers, “Despite financial obstacles and other challenges, security must be priority for schools and school districts. Forums like this help us learn what different districts are doing effectively and share ideas on what works. All individuals involved in education need to be vigilant and find effective ways to protect our students, faculty, staff and facilities.” The School Safety Forum event kicked off with a keynote address from former head of New York State homeland security Michael Balboni. Mr. Balboni discussed a number of pressing school and related security issues as well as the legislative process. The panel, moderated by Michel Richez, Director of Business Operations & Development of A+ Technology and Security Solutions and former Director of Technology and Information Services for Long Beach School District, included a discussion with Superintendent Nassau BOCES Dr. Tom

Dentists Can Save Lives (NAPSI)—Although the Oral Cancer Foundation estimates that close to 37,000 Americans will be diagnosed with oral cancer this year, you may be able to avoid being one of them. Oral cancer kills one person every hour of the day, each day of the year— mostly because it’s often diagnosed too late. Now, however, an advanced technology is available

that can help your dentist and hygienist better detect abnormalities of the mouth, throat, tongue and tonsils that may possibly be the early signs of cancer. It’s an oral screening device known as Identafi®, which uses three separate wavelengths of light combined with an angled examination mirror to identify oral tissue abnormalities that might

not be visible to the naked eye and under normal lighting conditions. This small, cordless device’s compact size enables painless, easy inspection of hard-to-reach areas in the mouth. The device is marketed under the StarDental brand of DentalEZ Group. For more information, call (866) DTE-INFO or visit www.Identafi.net.

“How do you go red?” asks the American Heart Association. On Friday, February 1st, people from across Long Island, as well as corporations, businesses, hospitals, towns, schools, local and state legislators, members of the media, teachers, and people from all walks of life will be wearing red to focus attention on and raise funds to fight the No. 1 killer of women – cardiovascular disease. On February 1st, the American Heart Association’s 10th Annual National Wear Red Day asks women to show their support for the fight against heart disease in women by wearing red. It’s an easy, powerful way to speak up and show support for Go Red For Women®, the American Heart Association’s solution to save women’s lives. The Go Red For Women movement, sponsored nationally by Macys and Merck urges women to take charge of their cardiovascular health, make it a top priority and live a stronger, longer life. The

North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System is the Cities Go Red Sponsor for the movement. Every minute in the United States, someone’s wife, mother, daughter or sister dies from heart disease, stroke or other form of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women age 25 and older and stroke is the No. 4 killer of women, as women account for 61 percent of all stroke deaths annually. The American Heart Association Go Red For Women movement is about turning around these statistics. It’s also about resources, information and hope. Donations to Go Red For Women help support our efforts to educate women and to fund breakthrough research by the American Heart Association that helps ensure women are represented in clinical studies. Since 2004, through its fundraising efforts, Go Red For Women has contributed almost $44 million to womenfocused research and has

provided additional funds to life-saving educational programs and tools for physicians. On February 1st, or on a different day if you wish, you and your colleagues are encouraged to wear red (and dress down if your company allows) and each donate $5 or more. As a thank you for their support, each participant will receive a Go Red For Women® red dress pin or sticker to wear, along with information about how to make healthy choices every day. As a Wear Red Day Coordinator, you’ll receive a Coordinator’s Tool Kit with all the materials needed to conduct a successful Wear Red Day event – including a Coordinator’s Guide, educational materials, posters, and ideas to make your event successful and fun. For more information about National Wear Red Day and to sign up your company or organization, call Jessica DiMeo at 516.450.9111 or email Jessica.dimeo@heart.org.

Packing Goods

Many people donate money to charities but few give their time and effort. At Genser Dubow Genser & Cona (GDGC), elder law and estate planning firm based in Melville, 15 attorneys, paralegals and support staff teamed up and spent the day at the LI Cares warehouse where they sorted toys and coats, categorized food items, filled food orders for holiday delivery, unloaded boxes and repacked food to give to those in need as well as to Hurricane Sandy victims. According to Jennifer Cona, Esq., managing partner at GDGC, the staff got back as much as they gave. “Our firm culture is very invested in charitable works and community projects. With the LI Cares project, not only did we provide hands-on assistance for a great organization, but we enjoyed the opportunity to work with each other in a different context,” says

Jennifer. Everyone was given an assignment and worked together in small groups under the supervision of Alisha Summer, LI Cares volunteer coordinator. One person took phone orders and ran them back to the group in the pantry, others packed up specific boxes of holiday food donations and another group sorted clothing donations and winter coats. “We pitched in to help each other solve problems that arose while working in the 35,000 sq. ft. warehouse as we would do at the law firm when handling legal issues, such as Medicaid, estate documents, guardianships, etc.,” says Diana ChoyShan, associate attorney. “For example, when we ran out of potatoes for the holiday food orders, the team decided to substitute stuffing and then had to figure out where to get it and how to log it in. Everyone got involved in

this multi-step process.” All of the GDGC staff members expressed how good they felt from this experience. “I’m thankful to GDGC for organizing this amazing project as this is something I probably wouldn’t do on my own, and I loved it” explained Kevin Wimmer, associate attorney. He also got to know people he works with every day in another way and spend time with others with whom he typically does not interact. Alisha commented that GDGC was a tremendous help to LI Cares. “Stocking the shelves and packing food are critical components at our busiest time of year, and the GDGC team got us to a place where we could distribute the items to the people who would use them in a timely manner. In addition, the firm collected and donated over 60 pounds of food. I’m hopeful they will return next year.”

Carry-On Made Easier

(NAPSI)-Doing a little homework before you travel could save you time at the airport. For instance, visiting www.TSA.gov, the Transportation Security Administration’s Web site, can help you learn what

items can be packed in carry-on and which are best left in checked suitcases. You can also learn size requirements for toiletries that are allowed on planes and then find properly sized items in stores.

As a final tip, remember that all carry-on gels, liquids and aerosols need to be placed in a 1-quart, single zip-top, clear plastic bag. For more information and tips, visit www.shave. com.
