BBQ season is in full swing, and whether you’re a first-time griller or an expert like Bobby Flay, there’s something about cooking outdoors that really brings a meal together.  Tongs in one hand and a spatula in the other is a good start to cooking the perfect hotdogs, steaks and fish on the grill, but there are other preparations a chef should consider, too, like having the right recipe.

From Chappaqua-Mount Kisco Patch: Who Gets into Harvard - and Everywhere Else?

The publication of Lacy Crawford's new novel, EARLY DECISION, has been a public benefit to all who are applying to college this fall and to those of us who help the applicants. The novel is a vivid dramatization of the process, the passions, and the problems students, parents, and coaches encounter. Just as valuable (and almost as much fun to read!) are her many essays and blogs about her past life as a high-end college coach.
