The founder and former owner of Domino's Pizza is the latest to win a temporary injunction blocking enforcement of the Obama administration's contraception mandate, which requires employers to provide free birth control — including abortifacient drugs — to their employees.
Thomas Monaghan (pictured), a Roman Catholic who ran the Domino's Pizza chain on his religious principles before selling it to Bain Capital in 1998, is now a real estate developer who helped to found the Ave Maria community in Florida, which is home to the Catholic Ave Maria University.
Last month Monaghan filed suit against the contraception mandate on behalf of his Michigan-based property management firm, Domino's Farms Corporation, charging that requiring the company to make available abortion-causing drugs like Plan B and other so-called "morning after" contraceptives would violate the moral and religious convictions by which he operates the business.
On December 31 Michigan District Court Judge Lawrence P. Zatkoff granted Monaghan an emergency injunction blocking the mandate's requirements for his company while his suit moves forward.
In his ruling Zatkoff wrote that forcing Monaghan to abide by the mandate would "substantially burden his exercise of religion. Because plaintiffs' claims involve a First Amendment right, and because the court has found some likelihood that plaintiffs' ... claim will succeed on the merits, the court finds that irreparable harm could result to plaintiff."
Zatkoff noted that any supposed harm of "delaying the implementation of a statute that may later be deemed constitutional is outweighed by the risk of substantially burdening the free exercise of religion. Moreover, the harm of carving out, at least temporarily, an additional exemption for an organization with less than 100 employees can hardly be considered a significant or 'irreparable' harm to the Government."

Environmental Justice Small Grants Program
Grants & Programs Topics
Resources For Communities
Since its inception in 1994, the Environmental Justice Small Grants Program has awarded more than $24 million in funding to over 1400 community-based organizations, and local and tribal organizations working with communities facing environmental justice issues.
The Environmental Justice Small Grants Program supports and empowers communities working on solutions to local environmental and public health issues. The program assists recipients in building collaborative partnerships to help them understand and address environmental and public health concerns in their communities. Successful collaborative partnerships involve not only well-designed strategic plans to build, maintain, and sustain the partnerships, but also working towards addressing the local environmental and public health issues.
2015 Request for Applications
The FY2015 EJ Small Grant solicitation is now open until January 9, 2015. The total estimated amount of funding available for awards under this solicitation is approximately $1,200,000. EPA anticipates awarding up to four grants per EPA region in amounts of up to $30,000 per award for a one year project period.
EPA recognizes the critical role of helping communities with localized strategies to avoid, lessen, or delay the risks and impacts associated with our changing climate. As a result, this year's program will have a special emphasis on proposals supporting community-based preparedness and resilience efforts (community climate resiliency). The agency is also prioritizing funding to organizations that have not recently received an award under the EJ Small Grant Program in an effort to ensure that support reaches new areas.
Interested persons may join the pre-application assistance calls by dialing 1-866-299-3188 and entering the code 202-564-1771 when prompted. Pre-application assistance calls will take place on the following dates:

CANTON Higher train speeds through the village do not compromise safety, according to officials of CSX Rail Inc.
Representatives from CSX have agreed to meet with Mayor David P. Curry and other village officials who lodged their complaints in a Sept. 3 letter to CSX safety officials.
In January, CSX informed the village police that it had been authorized to increase its train speed in north country communities from 25 mph to 40 mph.
The decision prompted concerns from village trustees about the increased risk of derailments, particularly for trains carrying hazardous materials.
While our village population may be less than 5,000 persons, the well being of our residents is no less valuable than the well being of residents of larger communities, Mr Curry said in his letter.
Train speed is addressed in Section 244-3 of the Canton Village Code, which mandates that trains shall not travel faster than 25 mph.
This speed limit was deemed reasonable and prudent when originally enacted, given the proximity of the train tracks to residential areas in our village, the letter continues. At many points along its course in the village the train tracks are situated within just a few feet of homes and backyards.
The village has seven rail crossings, with Main Street and Park Street being particularly busy with passing motorists and pedestrians. The other crossings are at Miner Street, Buck Street, Route 310, Harrison Street and Pleasant Street.
Outside the village limits, trains cross Canton at OHoro Road and Jameson Road.
Canton Central School Superintendent William A. Gregory said school buses cross seven of the rail crossings as they transport students back and forth from school. Each day, buses travel over rail crossings a total of 66 times, including 47 times at Park Street.
In my view, it also points to the need for virtually all crossings to be guarded and for prudent speed limits to be established in populated areas in general and during specific high density people times, Mr. Gregory said in an email.
Trustee Daniel J. McDonnell, Crescent Street, said it doesnt make sense to require cargo trucks to travel 25 mph through the village while allowing trains to travel to 40 mph.
If trucks on Route 11 have to go 25 mph, trains should have to go 25 as well, Mr. McDonnell said. Theyre carrying the same hazardous material. If there were an accident I think traveling 25 mph would do a lot less damage than a train traveling at 40 mph.
Village officials said Friday they have not yet received a response from CSX, but a company spokesman said a meeting will take place.
CSX officials plan to meet with Canton officials very soon to discuss this matter in more detail, Robert T. Sullivan, a company spokesman, said in an email.
Safety is the single most important consideration in CSXs rail operations. CSX places the highest emphasis on safety for the communities where it operates, for its employees, and for its customers, Mr. Sullivan said. The change in train speeds does not compromise safety.
He said the higher train speed reduces the amount of time pedestrians and motorists have to wait at highway-rail crossings, such as the heavily traveled Main Street crossing.
Mr. Sullivan said CSX meets or exceeds track safety standards established by the Federal Railroad Administration.
The track is visually inspected at least once a week, Mr. Sullivan said, and at least annually it is inspected by sophisticated equipment that can check the condition and stability of the rail and the track structure.
Regarding the number of trains that pass through, he said train volumes are determined by customer demand.
The increased speeds are intended to increase the efficiency of service to all customers, Mr. Sullivan said.

Another app that I really enjoyed recently is Mantis.
It's a bug tracking system, but can be customized to anuthing else - I've customaized it to act as Trackng System for Changes to Server Equipment. You cam open project, assign created users to project and make them update it with changes - it is pretty good for organization that has IT personnel dispersed all over the country that needs to have a central interface to submit updates. Mantis is web based and uses mysql/apache/php as a backend.

|Kindergarten cutoff bill to go to Senate
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Wednesday, 20 June 2007 18:26
A Senate education committee agreed yesterday to a House bill that would push back the cutoff birth date to enter school by several weeks.The law now allows a child to enroll at the beginning of a school year if the child turns 5-years-old by October 16. The proposed bill would set the cutoff at August 31, narrowing the age of children whom teachers will instruct. The bill now goes to the full Senate.

Dr. John E. WELSH's Ratings
Dr Welsh is great. The office staff is not helpful and the most difficult office to reach I have ever dealt with. You cannot leave a message at any time and during office hours, I have found it nearly impossible to reach the staff. The ONE time I talked with the front office, my message was returned 1 (one) week later, which was too late as it was a question regarding current medication. FRUSTRATING. If the Dr was not outstanding, I would never go to this office again.

- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup marzipan, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 6 pieces, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 6 large eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
For filling:
Bring milk to boil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk yolks and sugar in small bowl until well blended; whisk in flour. Whisk hot milk into egg mixture. Return to same saucepan. Whisk over medium heat until custard thickens and boils, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer to processor; cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Add marzipan; process until smooth, about 1 minute. Blend in butter 1 piece at a time, then both extracts. Cover and refrigerate filling at least 4 hours or up to 2 days.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 11x10x1-inch jelly roll pan. Line bottom with parchment paper; butter and flour parchment. Whisk eggs, 3/4 cup sugar, vanilla and salt in large metal bowl. Set bowl over pot of simmering water. Whisk until just warm, about 2 minutes. Remove bowl from over water. Using electric mixer, beat mixture until tripled in volume, about 6 minutes. Sift flour over; fold in until just combined. Gently fold in butter (do not overmix, or batter will deflate). Spread batter in prepared pan. Bake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Sift powdered sugar over towel. Run knife around edge of pan to loosen cake. Turn hot cake out onto towel. Peel off parchment. Starting at 1 long side and using towel as aid, gently roll up cake jelly-roll style. Cool. Unroll cake. Spread filling over. Reroll cake; place cake, seam side down, on platter. Refrigerate cake while preparing frosting.
For frosting:
Bring cream and butter to boil in medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring to melt butter. Remove from heat. Add both chocolates; whisk until melted. Transfer to medium bowl. Let cool at room temperature until thick enough to spread, about 1 hour.
Starting 1 inch in from each end of cake, cut on diagonal to remove one 3-inch-long piece of cake from each end. Attach 1 cake piece at sides of cake near each end. Spread frosting over top and sides of cake and pieces. Using tines of fork, draw concentric circles on cake ends to resemble tree rings. Draw fork along length of cake to form bark design. Garnish with Marzipan Mushrooms.

|Sulika Merrell demonstrates how to slip a card encoded for the balloting process into one of the voting machines that will be set up around the county next week for a trial run. Voters in the Nov. 8 election will use punch ballots for the last time. Next year, the electronic machines will be used to complete the elective process.
Almost all Carbon County voters knows what a "hanging chad" is. The term became familiar to citizens who followed the 2000 presidential election because it was an item of controversy at the time.
Since then, states and voting officials have been trying to find a way to make elections and the ballots that people cast more accurate. Enter the electronic voting machine.
Up until 2005, the people of many states and counties, including Carbon, have used punch card ballots.
Using that technology, the ballot is given to people and they slip the card into a slot. People use a punch tool to select the candidate or issue they want to vote on from a book placed over the card and return it to the ballot box.
Starting next year, voters will be given a card similar to an ATM card. The card will be encoded by the poll supervisor. The card will be placed in a slot on the machine and, on a touch screen, the voters will select the candidates or issues they wish to cast ballots for. The votes will be recorded in four places in the machine.
Utah election laws specify a paper ballot must be generated from any elective process. The machine will print the results on a ballot that the voters can see to be sure they got it right.
The machine will also record the voting data in two internal memory banks within the unit.
The machine will also encode the voting data to a removable PC card. When the election day is done, the card will be removed and plugged into a computer.
The computer will download the data and give almost instantaneous results from what took place on that machine during the voting day. No more hanging chads.
But Carbon voters will not have to wait until next year, when the machines go into general use across the state, to try the new technology.
Next week during the Nov. 8 elections, voters who come to polls will get a chance to try out the new machine.
Polling for the 2005 elections will be completed through punch cards. But a station will be set up with a volunteer supervisor so voters can try out electronic balloting in a mock election.
"Our intention is to get every voter in the county to try this machine out before we go to using these for real in next year's election," pointed out Robert Pero, Carbon County clerk and the official who oversees the election process in the local area.
"The election on Nov. 8 will be our first outing with these machines, but we intend to set them up at many public functions and even in grocery stores over the next year so people can try them out and get used to how they work."
For people who have used a computer touch screen, the process will be easy.
"The state went with the machine they did because they wanted ease, security and plenty of back up," explained Pero, who was on a state committee that decided which machines Utah should use. "I think once people get used to this, they will like it a lot better. It will make the entire process more accurate and easier to administer."
Pero said the machines will be open at polling places from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 3 to 7 p.m. The stations will be manned by volunteers who will be trained on Monday to handle the machines and to answer questions people may have.
The machines, manufactured by Deibold, fold up into a carrying case that is simple to move around.
The machines are powered by a battery that lasts for much longer than any polling place would be open in a single day.
"I think one of the best things about them is that they are totally ADA compliant," said Pero. He showed how the machines can be turned at angles for various kinds of wheel chairs. They also have a magnifying system so that people with vision problems can see how they voted. For the blind there is even an audio system that can be used with head phones and a punch pad for recording their vote.
"These machines are set up so even a quadriplegic could use them," said Pero. "The have a system that uses a series of breath puffs to record the vote if needed."
While the use of electronic voting machines has been somewhat controversial in some quarters, as people have speculated about how an election could be electronically rigged, Pero feels these new systems are going to be much more secure and accurate than ballots.
"It will be a lot harder for someone to mess with the data on these cards than it would be with ballots," he said.
Pero said he would like to urge people to try the new machines out next week and get used to the coming change as soon as possible.

Dallas, Texas, Sept. 25, 2013 – Dallas County Health and Human Services (DCHHS) announced the seventh human West Nile virus case in Dallas County for the 2013 season. The resident lives in 75006 and was diagnosed with West Nile Neuroinvasive Disease. For medical confidentiality and personal privacy reasons, DCHHS does not provide additional identifying information.
"Dallas County wants to alert the public that the mosquitoes that carry West Nile virus are here and they're active," said Zachary Thompson, DCHHS director. "Our mosquito surveillance program and the county and municipal abatement teams are taking the appropriate actions to ensure the safety of our residents. However, it is important that residents do their part by taking the necessary precautions to avoid exposure to the virus."
Carrollton is very proactively engaged in West Nile virus prevention. Scott Hudson, Carrollton's Director of Environmental Services said, "This includes weekly mosquito trapping throughout the city, participating in a regional surveillance, analysis and spraying program developed in coordination with the CDC and joint public education and outreach. We apply larvicide to standing water and spray targeted areas based on testing results. Our surveillance and control efforts will continue through the off-season and into next year."
People have an important role to play in protecting themselves and their loved ones from illnesses caused by mosquitoes. The best way to avoid exposure to West Nile virus is to avoid mosquito bites by practicing the four Ds: DEET, Dress, Dusk and Dawn, and Drain
• Apply insect repellent that contains DEET or other PA-approved mosquito repellent.
o Spray exposed skin and clothing with repellent.

• Dress in long sleeves and long pants when you are outside.
• Stay indoors at dusk and dawn, times when infected mosquitoes are most active.
• Drain standing water in your yard; old tires, flower pots and clogged rain gutters are mosquito breeding sites.
• Also very important to be sure that doors and window are sealed properly and that screens are in place to protect your home from intruding mosquitoes
People are infected with West Nile virus through the bite of an infected mosquito. Since there is no specific treatment for the virus, Dr. Christopher Perkins, DCHHS medical director and health authority says "the first line of defense to prevent West Nile virus infection is to avoid getting bitten in the first place." He encourages citizens to adhere to the preventive measures and to mosquito proof their homes.

Many years ago in what is now Central Utah, a range of volcanoes erupted sending volcanic ash into the waters of the ancient Sundance Sea. The water in this sea evaporated, leaving behind a bed of mineral-rich bentonite clay.
Redmond Clay is one of the best brands of bentonite clay available on the market. It is a white sodium mineral-rich clay that comes from deep within the earth. It is from a Jurassic source. The land the clay is mined on is in Redmond, Utah, and people in the community have been using it medicinally for years.
For many generations native Indians carried a ball of this mineral-rich clay with them in their packs, some of which they dissolved in water and ingested with their meals. Clay, a product of Mother Earth, was a natural medicine used by the natives for fighting many stomach ailments, dysentery and food infections.
Historical uses of Medicinal Clay
Volumes of books have been written detailing how bentonite clay has been used for medicinal purposes for centuries without anyone ever being able to explain what makes it such a great healer. Dr. Ernst Meyer-Camberg, a European doctor, stated in his research papers on clay that it provides relief in a bad case of poisoning.
An author named Raymond Dextreit wrote a book called Our Earth Our Cure: A Handbook of Natural Medicine for Today. In it he details countless cases in which clay accomplishing amazing results. He says the clay acts symbiotically in the body.
In World War I, both Russian and French soldiers were issued clay as part of their rations. They would use it for illness and to treat cut and wounds. He says that the clay draws toxins to itself, thus making it a perfect poultice for cuts and wounds.
If taken internally in water Redmond Clay will pull toxins and poisons out of the body by absorbing many times its weight, and moving it through the system to be eliminated. People have reported that they feel relief from the flu symptoms by drinking the clay water.
Animals Eat Clay
Many cattle ranchers have big piles of the clay delivered to their farms for the animals to eat. The cattle naturally gravitate to it when they are sick. It is a form of self-medication for the cows. The farmers have noticed that it helps the sick animals.
Intestinal Problems
The Redmond Clay Company started experimenting with clay that was found in veins deep within the earth. They took all the previous research done by the European scientists and did their own research on the benefits of Redmond Clay. To their amazement, it helped people get better from all kinds of ailments such as diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, stomach ache, acid indigestion, hiatal hernias, acid reflex, diverticulitis, colitis, rotavirus, and helicobacter pylori bacteria.
External And Skin Problems
Redmond Clay has been successfully used for external issues like burns, bee stings, wounds, spider bites, acne, athletes foot, bruises, arthritis, cuts, diaper rash, eczema, infections, mosquito bites, sores that won't heal, sprains, twisted ankles and inflammation.
Burns And Bruises
I use Redmond Clay for any burn. It takes the pain away instantly and heals the blister quickly. My daughter-in-law burned herself with a curling iron. It was very painful, but I made some mud, put it on the burn and bandaged it up. It was better the next day. It works for all burns, sunburns, cuts and bruises. My husband is a contractor and he had an accident and mashed his thumb. It turned black and blue and was throbbing with pain. I put the clay on his thumb, had him wear a latex glove over it and the next day his thumb was fine and the bruising was gone.
Diaper Rash
To use it for diaper rash, just sprinkle the dry clay powder on the baby's bottom. It seems to clear up diaper rash very quickly.
Clay Baths
Some people take clay baths. To do so, sprinkle about one-half cup of dry clay powder in the bathwater, mix it up and soak in it for 30 minutes or more. It helps detoxify the body. It draws out toxins and infections from the skin.
Foot Bath
For a footbath, simply put three tablespoons of Redmond Clay in a pan of water and soak your feet in it for 30 minutes. It draws toxins from the feet and detoxifies the body.
In The First-Aid Kit
Because it has worked so well for all these other issues, I put Redmond Clay in my medical kit. I use it first, for relief rather than running to the doctor. Consequently I keep it mixed up ready to use in a solution of clay and water and have it in the kitchen cupboard and the bathroom cupboard.
The Redmond Clay Company has been around for 30 years and there have not been any cases of allergic reactions or adverse effects from taking the clay. The company says that with all the research that has been done, they are just scratching the surface of what the clay can do.
Because it has so many uses, I recommend you keep it in your 72-hour emergency kit, as I do.
Redmond clay comes in a premixed squeezable bottle that is ready to use, or you can buy the powder and mix it yourself.
To prepare the Redmond clay for external use, mix the powdered clay with just enough water to make a gel the consistency of mud. Use a glass cup or small glass-canning jar.
If you don't use it all, then keep a lid on it. If it starts to dry up, just add a little more water and mix it up again. Use the mud like you would a gel, cream or poultice. Put it on about one-fourth inch thick and cover it with gauze, a bandage or plastic wrap and leave it on overnight.The next day you will be amazed at the result.
Internal Use
To use the clay internally, mix one teaspoon of the dry, powdered clay in a half of glass of water (preferably filtered water). Stir it up and let it sit for six to eight hours. Then drink it down.
If you have a hard time drinking the clay sediment at the bottom, just drink the clear liquid that is full of minerals, but it is better if you can drink the whole thing.
The clay goes through your intestinal system and absorbs poisons and toxins as it moves through, pulling them out of the body to be eliminated with waste material. It is good to make a large amount of clay water, let it sit for the prescribed time and then drink it several times a day, depending on how sick you feel.
Redmond Clay Daily Detox is a natural toxin-binding clay in capsule form for those who don't want to drink the clay water. The capsules can be used every day.
Redmond Clay works inside the stomach to bind itself to harmful toxins. As it moves through the intestinal tract, it collects toxins and can help move along and eliminate trapped waste found along the inner wall. Daily use of Redmond Clay can help support a healthy digestive system. It is packed in 100 percent vegetable-based capsules.
If you want to learn more about the benefits of Redmond Clay there are two books I recommend. One is We Eat Clay (and wear it, too!), available for free, and the other is The Healing Power Of Clay.
Redmond Clay comes in powder form as well as premixed first-aid clay and facial mud for acne and facials. It also comes in capsules for internal use.

PAWTUCKET — In the eyes of Gary DiSarcina's now-former baseball employer, there's no question that his deft and guiding hand that was omnipresent during his first and what turned out his only season managing the Pawtucket Red Sox played a crucial role in the parent club's march to a World Series championship.
"We had him for a short period of time, but it was an impactful one. Gary made a huge difference on the situation down there," said Boston Assistant General Manager Mike Hazen when reached Tuesday, the same day it was learned that DiSarcina was hired as the third-base coach for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
"He's a fantastic baseball guy. I think when we hired him, we knew it wasn't going to be for a long period of time given his résumé and pedigree," Hazen continued. "We were fortunate to have him for a year and now he's off to bigger and better things. It's tough to watch him leave on a professional level, but on a personal level, we know it's the best thing for him."
Without DiSarcina taking a hard line with Jose Iglesias at a time when the shortstop was still brooding over his April demotion to the minors, perhaps Iglesias doesn't go on to bat .395 with the Red Sox in June and end up getting dangled as trade bait. Looking back, the decision DiSarcina made in pulling Iglesias in the middle of the game along with the subsequent three-game benching served as an epiphany for the young player, who in July was flipped in favor of Boston seeking to shore up its starting pitching depth, i.e. Jake Peavy.
Without DiSarcina serving as a familiar voice for Will Middlebrooks when the struggling third baseman was optioned to Pawtucket in late June, perhaps Middlebrooks spends the subsequent summer months in a deep trance and never truly recovers from the .192 batting average and .228 on-base percentage he posted in nearly three months of major-league duty. DiSarcina managed Middlebrooks at Single-A Lowell in 2008, and that prior connection proved invaluable.
When Middlebrooks returned to the Red Sox in mid August, DiSarcina noted at the time that the 7½ weeks the player ended up spending in the minors "wasn't a long time in the grand scheme of things, but he learned from it." Returning to Boston might not have happened if this past season represented the first time that Middlebrooks was placed in DiSarcina's care.
Of course, DiSarcina had no prior coach-player relationship experience with Iglesias or shortstop Xander Bogaerts, and look how both situations turned out.
Given that DiSarcina spent virtually all 12 of his MLB playing seasons as a shortstop – all coming with the Angels – it seemed Bogaerts stood to reap some significant benefits.
"It gives you some credibility with him," said DiSarcina right before Bogaerts made his Boston debut. "He doesn't know me as a player but anybody who's played, these guys figure it out."
While the Red Sox made sure that the heralded prospect continued to smooth out his approach at shortstop, the organization felt that the time had come to let Bogaerts experience life as a third baseman. Granted, he dabbled at the position for Team Netherlands during the most recent World Baseball Classic, but there was a more serious tone behind the decision to expand Bogaerts' defensive horizons.
As it turned out, Bogaerts made 10 starts at the hot corner for the PawSox. He ended up serving as Boston's primary third baseman for all six of the team's World Series contests after replacing Middlebrooks prior to Game 5 of the American League Championship Series.
Believing a gifted player like Bogaerts can pick up a new position is one thing. Trusting that he has the proper support staff around him in order to quickly learn on the fly is a testament to the faith and belief the Red Sox had in DiSarcina.
"It's just not the knowledge and the years having played. It's the personality and the ability to relate with so many people on so many different levels – being able to explain from a personal standpoint in certain situations when things weren't going well for a particular player," said Hazen about what may have been DiSarcina's greatest strength in his short tenure as Pawtucket's on-field leader. "Ultimately, we had a lot of guys who came up and contributed to the World Series run, and that's probably Gary's lasting impact on the 2013 season. He did a great job in helping guys figure it back out and get them back to where they belong."
Not counting rehab players, the 2013 PawSox shipped 19 players Boston's way. A total of 64 Pawtucket players suited up for DiSarcina, who piloted the Triple-A club to an 80-63 record, good for a first-place finish in the North Division.
While he certainly hit all the high notes as far as viewing each player through an individual prism, DiSarcina's managerial skills proved just as crucial in resurrecting Pawtucket's season from the brink. The PawSox stood at 50-29 on June 27 before enduring a miserable 9-19 July that left them on the outside looking in as the calendar flipped to August.
Pawtucket ended up winning 19 of its final 23 regular-season games, doing so with a cast of players that did not include Middlebrooks or Bogaerts. DiSarcina helped guide the PawSox to the Governors' Cup finals for the second straight year before falling to eventual champion Durham in four games.
"Gary did a fantastic job for the PawSox in so many ways this past season," said the PawSox in a prepared statement. "Players loved playing for 'DiSar' as evident by the club winning the I.L. North Championship and coming within two victories of repeating as Governors' Cup champions. He did that while never losing sight of developing players for the Boston Red Sox - several of whom were instrumental in the team capturing the World Series.
"Off the field, 'DiSar' represented the Pawtucket Red Sox with class. He enjoyed everything that came with being the PawSox manager including a great rapport with fans and media. He earned his place among the many outstanding managers in PawSox history and we thank him for a terrific year in 2013."
DiSarcina was named the 15th manager in Pawtucket baseball history last December following a two-year stint in the Angels' organization. When the PawSox open the 2014 season next April, they will do so under the direction of their fifth manager in six seasons.
"Unfortunately, this is a situation we've been in the last few years and we've been fortunate with some of the guys we've had come through there," said Hazen. "We're confident that we'll be able to find the right guy to take over for 'DiSar' moving into next year."

DeejHairBlackDry HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairRelaxed HairChemically Treated HairAwesome Rollers!I love these rollers! I used them while transitioning from natural to relaxed hair (4B?).
I still use them now that I am completely natural to refresh roller/rod sets or curly fro styles. Can be used on dry hair, but I usually dampen hair with leave in conditioner then sleep in the rollers overnight. Very simple and quick to use. No dried out or pulled out hair like you get with foam rollers.30 out of 31 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Service says a lot about your establishment, whether that means the appearance of your staff, the condition of your dinnerware, or the speed in which an entree arrives. Equipping your employees and outfitting your kitchen with the appropriate tools to get the job done can mean the difference between a disaster and a pleasant meal. That's why having a healthy supply of serving trays on hand is so important. Carrying a party's order to the table one plate at a time is a bit ridiculous, and clearing the table the same way could take all night. With the right serving trays at your disposal, delivering dishes to guests or returning glasses to the kitchen is easy.

ALBANY - A former Potsdam orthodontist was sentenced Monday to more than eight years in federal prison for trying to cheat the Internal Revenue Service out of $36 million.
Glenn R. Unger, 62, Ogdensburg, was convicted Oct. 21 in U.S. District Court, Albany, of obstructing and impeding the IRS, filing false claims against the United States, tax evasion and passing fictitious obligations. He was sentenced to 97 months in prison and ordered to pay $200,000 in restitution.
According to the U.S. attorneys office, evidence at trial showed that Dr. Unger engaged in a years-long scheme to obstruct and impede the IRS by filing numerous false and fraudulent claims for refunds totaling about $36 million. From 2007 to 2011, Dr. Unger filed 14 false tax returns claiming that he had earned substantial income and had withholdings on that income entitling him to tax refunds. Despite numerous warning letters from the IRS that his returns were frivolous, he continued filing false tax returns.
Also, evidence was shown at trial that Dr. Unger attempted to evade payment of taxes owed the IRS. During 2004 and 2005, he earned income and failed to file tax returns reporting the income. The IRS assessed taxes for those two years and also assessed penalties for filing frivolous returns. After the IRS filed a tax lien against property Dr. Unger owns in Saratoga County, he tried to file a fake document with the county clerk attempting to release the lien.
Evidence further showed that Dr. Unger tried to pay off a debt to another orthodontist with a fictitious document purported to be worth $200,000.
A Brooklyn native who graduated from the SUNY Buffalo School of Dentistry, Dr. Unger maintained an orthodontics practice in Potsdam from about 1980 until the early 1990s. Federal authorities repeatedly have identified him as a Ogdensburg resident.
