- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of 2 commonly used diets, a Mediterranean monounsaturated fatty acid enriched (MUFA) or AHA polyunsaturated (PUFA) enriched diet combined with the VA Managing Overweight/Obesity for Veterans Everywhere (MOVE!) program so as to determine which one is superior in reducing cardiometabolic risk factors associated with Metabolic Syndrome. The risk factors considered include lipids and lipoproteins, inflammatory markers such as CRP and adiponectin, endothelium-dependent flow-mediated vasodilatation (FMD) and the postprandial lipid responses to a meal.
Cardiometabolic risk factors will be determined by measuring several cardiovascular risk associated parameters including:
Biochemical measurements of lipids and inflammatory markers, body composition and VO2max (Specific Objective 1, Descriptive).
Postprandial response to a meal challenge and endothelial vasoreactivity (FMD) assessed by BART (Specific Objective 2, Physiological).
Determination of the effects on postheparin lipases and transfer protein activity, visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and homeostasis model assessment-estimated insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (Specific Objective 3, Mechanistic)

|Comparative Effects of Two Popular Diets in Veterans With the Metabolic Syndrome
- Metabolic (lipid, glucose, insulin resistance), body composition (assessed via dual energy absorptiometry DXA and CT-scan), and CV fitness (assessed as maximal aerobic capacity, VO2max) abnormalities in Veterans with MetS. [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Endothelium-dependent FMD assessed by the brachial artery reactivity test (BART) at rest and after postprandial meal challenge (lipid and glucose) responses. [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- (1) lipolytic enzymes and transfer proteins that mediate the lipid changes, (2) insulin resistance for glucose, (3) visceral adipose tissue area for lipids and glucose and (4) BART for vascular endothelial function and atherosclerosis. [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Detailed Description:
The Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a common problem among Veterans and is associated with a greater likelihood of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The Mediterranean diet is the only popular diet that has been shown to reduce CVD event rates but the extent to which monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) or polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) enrichment results in improvement in parameters of MetS is unresolved. Similarly, while low intensity exercise improves the CVD risk factor profile, there have been no comparative investigations comparing MUFA and PUFA enriched diets and exercise in patients with MetS that have extended beyond 1 year. Recently, the VA established the MOVE! program, a national weight management program designed to help Veterans lose weight. Using the VA promoted program, we will perform a systematic evaluation of the effects of dietary fat composition [comparison between MUFA-enriched and PUFA enriched diet] with MOVE!. We hypothesize that a MUFA-enriched diet consisting of antioxidant, lipid reducing and insulin sensitizing properties will be superior to the less palatable PUFA-enriched diet on improving cardiometabolic parameters associated with MetS. Specifically, the MUFA MOVE! program is expected to lead to greater improvements than the PUFA MOVE! program in body composition and aerobic fitness (Specific Aim 1), endothelial dependent flow mediated vasodilatation and the postprandial lipid response to a meal load (Specific Aim 2) and the mechanisms (lipolytic and lipid transfer protein activity, homeostasis model assessment-estimated insulin resistance) responsible for these effects (Specific Aim 3). Collectively, these studies will advance our understanding of mechanisms underlying the differential effects of MUFA and PUFA-enriched dietary regimens on cardiometabolic health and when combined with the MOVE! program, will provide new and useful information to Veterans (and the general public) interested in optimizing their diets for CVD disease prevention and improved vascular health.

Land deal
Re: your May 14 article, "Ventura Hillsides Conservancy disciplined for questionable land deal":
I strongly feel that the errors in judgment ascribed to the VHC are those of a young organization perhaps confused about when the end justifies the means. I have a hard time feeling too critical of a group that donates its time and money to help the rest of us preserve land for future generations of Ventura.
As the Hillside Conservancy decides how to react to the bad press about its deal with Bonsall, I hope it will promptly and clearly state its view on the ethics of the transaction.
I hope, too, that they will work to make their meetings and plans transparent and open to all. Perhaps a few new board members could help bring perspective and sensitivity as the VHC learns the complex legal minefield of land trust transactions.
In weathering this storm of public outcry, I hope the Ventura Hillside Conservancy has an opportunity to really examine the difference between what is legal and what is ethical. They say that adversity introduces a person to themselves. Perhaps this misstep will provide an opportunity for the VHC to grow better, stronger and wiser as it works for the good of the community.

When Chelsea Clinton, daughter of former President Bill Clinton and current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, wed investment banker Marc Mezvinsky on July 31, 2010, it was dubbed the wedding of the year, the decade, the century even. But that was four months before Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton. So how does last year's "wedding of the century" compare to this year's "wedding of the century"?
How They Met
Chelsea and Marc first met as teenagers at a political retreat (Marc's parents are former Democratic members of Congress). They both went on to attend Stanford University, but did not begin dating until years later, after Chelsea ended her relationship with Ian Klaus.
Across the pond, William and Kate (a small-town girl from Bucklebury) met at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland in 2001. The college friendship developed into an eight-year relationship that included some break-ups along the way.
The Proposals
Over the Thanksgiving holiday in 2009, Marc proposed to Chelsea in New York. The pair shared the news with friends and family via a low-key email: "We're sorry for the mass email but we wanted to wish everyone a belated Happy Thanksgiving! We also wanted to share that we are engaged!"
In October 2010, while on a 10-day trip in Kenya, Africa, William asked for Kate's hand in marriage. Clarence House officially announced the engagement with a flashy photo op and TV interview the following month.
The Costs
The first-family wedding, which was held at Astor Courts, a private estate in Rhinebeck, New York, was described by townspeople as a "royal" event and the Clintons as our Windsor clan. "We love [Bill Clinton]... We wish them well. It's royalty. It's our royalty," New York state resident Arlene Newman told The New York Times.
The affair reportedly cost between $3 to $5 million. That hefty price tag included $750,000 for catering, $11,000 for a gluten-free cake (Chelsea's allergic), $15,000 for fancy toilets, $500,000 for flowers, $200,000 for extra security (paid for by the Clintons) and $600,000 for air-conditioned tents, among other expenses. Plus, a Federal Aviation Administration-enforced no-fly zone was in effect for the area.
William and Kate's nuptials take the wedding cake when it comes to expenses though. On April 29, they will say their "I do's" in Westminster Abbey, with a regal reception to follow at Buckingham Palace for the estimated princely sum of $34 million. The bulk of the cost is going towards security ($32 million), which British taxpayers will pay.
Officials have warned that a terrorist attack is "highly likely." The Irish Republican Army (IRA) is believed to be behind the alleged threats. But other groups, from Islamist militants to anti-capitalist protesters, have also threatened to commit acts of violence. The increased safety measures mean more man hours and added costs.
As for the remaining bills, two receptions come to $600,000; a fruity wedding cake, $80,000; flowers, $800,000 and clean-up, $64,000 (which will also be footed by taxpayers).
To help with some of the charges, the bride's parents forked over a six-figure amount, Vanity Fair reported.
The Gowns
For the ceremony, Chelsea wore a strapless Vera Wang gown with a raw-edged silk organza skirt, which featured a beaded waistband. For the reception, she switched into a silk tulle Grecian gown with a grosgrain black belt created by the designer (who also attended the wedding).
The details of Kate's dress are still a bit of a mystery. Sophie Cranston, Jasper Conran, Alice Temperley, Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen and Bruce Oldfield have all been named as possible dressmakers.
The Guests
Chelsea enacted a "no-strangers policy" for her Rhinebeck reception, which was limited to approximately 400 guests. Celebrities were kept to a minimum. Oprah and Barbra Streisand were not invited, but long-time family friends Ted Danson and wife Mary Steenburgen did make the cut, along with political allies, such as former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, and the bride and groom's college and work friends.
As for this week's festivities, 1,900 onlookers will be in the Abbey pews, including David and Victoria Beckham, Elton John, lots of foreign royals and dignitaries and the couple's families and friends. Plus, two billion folks --a record-breaking number of eyeballs -- are expected to tune in to watch the first "people's royal wedding."
The Honeymoons
After their wedding, Marc and Chelsea headed to South Africa for a safari adventure. William and Kate's first trip as husband and wife will be to Jordan... or Australia... or Mustique... or Isles of Scilly.
As for privacy, well that's priceless.

|The Game Story:
|Albany, N.Y. - Freshman Miles Thompson had three goals in leading UAlbany to an 11-9 victory over Delaware in the Great Danes' home opener on Saturday, March 5 at John Fallon Field.
Delaware (4-2) closed within 4-3 early in the second quarter on Sean Finegan's unassisted goal. UAlbany (1-1) then rattled off five unanswered, including defenseman Travis Lyons' first career goal with 1:56 remaining in the period. The 6-foot-1 junior picked up a ground ball at midfield and worked his way into the zone to hit the top right corner.
The Great Danes, who fell to nationally-ranked Drexel in their season debut one week ago, scored four straight times to begin the third quarter for a 9-3 advantage. Ty Thompson and Miles Thompson, who are cousins, found the net two minutes and 14 seconds apart. Miles later uncorked a behind-the-back shot into the cage. Joe Resetarits connected off Brian Caufield's pass with 7:02 left in the stanza.
The Blue Hens, who are receiving votes in this week's USILA national poll, regrouped with four of the game's next five goals. Finegan tallied twice in the run, including his ninth of the season, that got his team within 10-7. UAlbany's Matt Johnson scored unassisted with 7:54 remaining to help hold down the rally.
Noah Fossner made 10 saves for the Blue Hens, who reached last year's Colonial Athletic Association championship final and earned an NCAA berth. Nick Elsmo added two goals and two assists. UAlbany's Edmund Cathers, a freshman, made his first start in the cage and stopped 10 shots.
UAlbany 11, Delaware 9
Delaware - Scoring: Sean Finegan 3-1, Nick Elsmo 2-2, Kevin Kaminski 2-0, Eric Smith 1-0, Anthony Ruiz 1-0; Goalkeeper(s): Noah Fossner (60:00, 10 saves, 11 GA).
UAlbany - Scoring: Miles Thompson 3-0, Joe Resetarits 2-1 Ty Thompson 2-0, Matt Johnson 2-0, Derek Kreuzer 1-0, Travis Lyons 1-0, Brian Caufield 0-2, Rocky Bonitatibus 0-1, Mike Woods 0-1; Goalkeeper(s): Edmund Cathers (60:00, 10 saves, 9 GA).
Paw Prints: UAlbany avenged last year's 16-9 loss at Delaware ... the Blue Hens have won five of the nine meetings between the programs ... Delaware defeated Bellarmine in overtime, 12-11, in its last outing on Feb. 27 ... Joe Resetarits extended his point-scoring streak to 21 consecutive games ... Brian Caufield has 135 career points (62 goals, 73 assists) ... Miles Thompson's three goals came after he was held off the scoreboard in his first game as a collegian against Drexel ... Matt Johnson equaled his career-high with two goals ... the senior also scored twice against Siena and Vermont last year.

Hybrid structure for creamy tone and big power.
The Fender TB 1200 Bass Amp Head delivers 1200W at 2 ohms, ideal for running multiple speaker cabinets while keeping its cool. Fender's family of TB bass amps were created for professional bass players looking for a thick, natural, and balanced tone that sits fat in their live or studio mix.
Based on the TBP-1 tube bass preamp, the key to the Fender TB-1200 Bass Amp's creamy tone is a passive tone stack, the backbone of classic Fender guitar and bass amps. A passive tone stack is interactive, with each knob affecting the others. You get big warm notes that faithfully represent the natural sound of your bass. Fender includes a 4-button TBFS-4 footswitch that gives you easy access to Overdrive, Vari-Q, FX Loop, and Mute, as well as its own built-in tuner.

Comments about Fender TB-1200 120V Bass Amp Head:
I have owned and tried out numerous great and no so great bass amp head's in the past. After playing with the Fender TB-1200 I can finally say that I have found what I have been looking for. I will admit I have always been a loyal user and fan boy of Fender's products; they have never let me down yet. The head is built really solid, however is pretty heavy in weight. The 1200w helps with providing me enough power to power both of my Fender Bassman 4x10 cab's while the other featured options provide me the ability to get the tone and sound I like as well as others. During band practice I rarely have to turn this up beyond half way, in fact it is less than that. I was hesitant to press check out because of the pretty good chunk of change near $1300 price tag, however it has been one of the best decisions of my musician life. Sometimes to get the best you have to spend. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great solid amp head and overall great product.

Red Bull KTM's Russell Bobbitt notched his second win in a row—and third of the season—when he edged teammate Mike Lafferty by a point at the 40th Annual Moose Run National Enduro in Duquette, Minnesota. In doing so, Bobbitt added five more points to his series points lead and now leads Lafferty 202-184. Cycle Shack of Lubbock racer Cole Kirkpatrick made it an all-KTM podium with his third-place finish to maintain third in series points at 139.
The top three set the pace from the start with Bobbitt leading the way on his Tony Hall-prepared Michelin/Motorex/FMF 250 XC. He broke it open by making the flip in the fourth test, going 9/564 while Lafferty and Kirkpatrick both dropped 10 there. A half-dozen competitors went 11, but at that point Bobbitt had it won—though he certainly wasn't counting on his lead holding up, especially considering how strongly Lafferty came back in the race's final three tests where he beat Bobbitt's times by a total of 37 seconds.
That, however, wasn't enough to erase the minute Bobbitt gained in that fourth section and Lafferty and his Enduro Engineering/Renthal/KTM Hard Equipment 450 XC-FW had to settle for the runner-up spot at the event put on by the Straight Arrow Enduro Riders. "That :02 is gonna haunt me the whole month of September!" Lafferty quipped, referring to the number of seconds he missed making the flip by in the fourth test. "All in all, we're good. We ended up well, we rode well so I can't be too disappointed."
Despite winning, Bobbitt wasn't resting on his laurels: "I think maybe I need to work on my afternoon performance a little bit."
But, he added, "It's definitely good to get a win, for sure, with two rounds left." Jeff Melik battled back from incorrect suspension settings on his Yamaha of Warren.com YZ250 to edge local hero Dylan Debel for fourth overall, 51/2989- 51/3113. Still, Debel won the Open A division easily on his Donohue Harley Motorsports Husaberg FE450e.
Similarly, in a battle of high schoolers, Ian Blythe and his Topar Racing YZ144 salvaged sixth overall despite smashing his right foot against one of the many stumps. Blythe's 52/3049 narrowly bested the 52/3058 that local 16-year-old Nathan Ferderer carded on his Larson's Cycles Racing YZ125. Ferderer, who rode on Lafferty's minute, still took the 200cc A win while Blythe was the fifth Pro.
Tim Nienow took the 250cc A class and was eighth overall with Chris Gallt and multi-time Moose Run winner Craig Holasek rounding out the top 10.

I have been invited to submit some of my best science blogging for a possible book project. The subject needs to be science, not the law and other stuff I write about (though what I've written on the Kitzmiller trial would likely qualify). I thought I would open it up to my readers to suggest posts from the past that they particularly like that I might submit. Leave out the snarky stuff, it needs to be the more detailed, substantive posts, probably criticizing some aspect of the evolution/creationism debates. Any suggestions?
Dispatches from the Creation Wars
My Best Science Writing?
#1 Jeff Hebert December 22, 2006
Ed, I'd say your basic biostratigraphy challenge (as laid out at least once, here or, even better, here.) is in my humble opinion your best science writing. It's clear and unequivocal, easy to understand by a layman but scientifically strong, and deals with the creationism debate that's your strong suit when it comes to matters scientific.
That's my vote, anyway.
#2 argystokes December 22, 2006
When you put up the post, I immediately thought of a shorter version of the biostratigraphy challenge that you posed to commenter Gumpngreen (now overlord of Dembski's UD4kids). So I will concur with A-Bear's suggestion above.
#3 Leni December 22, 2006
I agree with Jeff Herbert. Especially on the Gibbons exchange, since that is what immediately came to my mind.
The Coulter fisking was good, but was done more thouroughly by… that guy who wrote the 3 part epic ass-whooping whose name I can't remember. The Gibbons exchange had a bit more meat to it, if I remmeber right.
#4 PhysioProf December 22, 2006
It ain't science, but I thought your post on the Ninth Amendment was truly outstanding.
#5 Greg December 23, 2006
I agree with Jeff Herbet, that's a nice piece. I was also thinking that any number of your posts debunking the faulty conclusions drawn/used by anti-gay groups would also be good. I'm not sure if your publishers will think of it as science, but it most certainly is — you bash false claims with verified ones. Sorry I can't point to a specific article though.
#6 Dave S. December 23, 2006
I agree the Gibbons multi-part series/biostratigaphical callenge was a very nice piece of work. The only problem is that you're responding to a particular poor correspondent. For that reason I might prefer your 4 parter analysing Behe's testimony at Dover (and subsequent related postings). I also liked the Answering Dean Esmay on ID in Science Classrooms and the follow up Dean Esmay's Latest on ID, although the follow up veers more into Godwin's Law territory than science per se.
#7 doctorgoo December 25, 2006
I just read the suggestions from all bloggers posted on the Clock. And of Ed's three proposed articles, my favorite by far is the third one titled "Answering Dean Esmay on ID in Science Classrooms".
http://scienceblogs.com/dispatches/2004/12/answering_dean_esmay_on_id_in.php (Sorry, I don't know how to embed this link with text.)
Not only is this a terrific explanation of why ID isn't science, but the comments between you and Jan and then with Davescot are absolutely fascinating!
Did this post mark your first exchange with Davescot? It seems bizzare to see how his positions have evolved (he actually claimed to be agnostic two years ago.)
Ed, if you were to ever create a "Best Of Dispatches" list, then this post should most definitely be at the top.
New comments have been temporarily disabled. Please check back soon.

On November 9, 1944, twenty-six civic-minded veterans of Wickliffe met to form an American Legion Post. With the thought of God and Country and the opportunity of better community service by the veterans for the Post was Brewer Tarasco of Wickliffe, the agenda was set up with Joseph Varnum as temporary chairman and William Russel at temporary secretary.
At their second meeting, on November 16, the unanimous vote to accept the name of the Post "Brewer-Tarasco" was passed.
The Brewer-Tarasco American Legion Post #7 was named in honor of two veterans, Merwin Brewer, the first casualty of WW I while Dominic Tarasco the first casualty in WW II, both from Wickliffe.
By December 7, 1944, the temporary charter was issued and – on one glorious evening December 14 – the constitution and by-laws were adopted and the first election of officers was made. The "Founding Eight" – to whom the past Commander of the Post #163, Earl Huddelson, obligated to their respective offices – were as follows: Commander, Joseph Varnum; 1st Vice-Commander, Fred Grebb; 2nd Vice-Commander, Ray Oliver; Adjutant, William Russel; Sgt. at Arms, Merrill Stam; Financial Officer, Irwin Pebley; Chaplain, Merlyn (Joe) Harkness; and Historian, Fred Homer.
On January 25, 1945, the formal installation and initiation was held at the Wickliffe High School auditorium. It was here that the charter was presented by County Commander, George Martin to Commander Joseph Varnum. The American Flag and Post Colors – by Mrs. Guy James, Junior Past Commander of the Wickliffe chapter of the Blue Star Mothers of America – were presented to Adjutant William Russel to be posted. These colors are the colors posted today and represent all they represent, and will be through the post tradition. In the same regard, Mrs. Joseph Varnum then presented a Gavel to the Commander. The Gavel, though simple in nature, can and should be regarded fondly as the continual authority and respect intended got the Post – and represents these very same ideals this very day. A Post Ceremonial Light was then presented by Guy James, a Spanish-American War veteran – may we all find our way home using this source.
A Wickliffe Post #7 tradition is the annual Memorial Day Parade and Ceremonies. This patriotic event was turned over to the American Legion Post in 1945 from the City's schools and government leaders. Its early parade route was from the old high school (now the middle school) to the Wickliffe Cemetery. Its route was changed in the 60's from Mt. Carmel Church and Bailey Controls (now ABB) to City Hall.
Post Commanders including led the events: Joe DiOrio, Ralph Hiller, Jack Freeman and Jose Rivera. Different religious leaders including Rev. Philip Nicholas, Rabbi Wolfe, and Rev. Eddie Walker led the invocation and benedictions. American Legion emcees included Chip Saunders, Gary Minadeo and Dave Krych. The ceremonies at City Hall included the reading of those killed in WW I, WW II, Korean War and Vietnam War and 21-gun salute. The final ceremony is held at the Legion Post for rising of the Post Colors and a lunch offered by the Legionaries.
Keith R. Bennett, a former Wickliffe Councilman, helped to implement Wickliffe's Paramedic program. Keith, a lifelong Wickliffe resident, participated in many civic organizations and has contributed to the continual improvement of Wickliffe.
His involvement with the city began when he became a lifeguard at Wickliffe's Jindra Pool. He eventually became the Learn-to-Swim Director, responsible for all swimming, lifesaving and diving classes at Jindra pool. His civic interests continued to expand, into becoming a Jaycee and softball coach.
He was appointed to the Wickliffe Charter Review Board. Upon completion of this board assignment, he ran for and was elected as Councilman in Ward 2. He served two terms as Councilman. During that time, he proposed the formation of the Paramedic Task Force Study Committee. This was a special Committee of Council that he chaired, and was comprised of selected Wickliffe residents. Their challenge was to conduct a comprehensive study and fact finding into Paramedic Programs. The committee worked with Fire Chief Ed Bohenek and met with medical staff and safety forces involved with paramedic programs. This knowledge later proved very beneficial and facilitated the formation of Wickliffe's first Paramedic program. The Paramedic program has benefited Wickliffe residents for many years. Also during his terms on council, he served on the Parks and Recreation Board and Board of Zoning appeals. His tenure on the Board of Zoning Appeals continues and has lasted over 34 years, a majority of that time has been as Chairman.
Keith was a charter board member of the Wickliffe Civic Center (WICCI).
After his terms on Council, Keith was elected as an Ordained Elder of the Wickliffe Presbyterian Church. This is a lifelong commitment. In addition, he has served as treasurer for the church for over seven years.
Keith graduated from Lakeland Community College in 1969. He received an Associate's degree in Applied Business (Information Technology). He is currently in the Information Technology field, and has performed in that field for over 45 years. He has held several positions, including Programming Manager and Senior level Software Developer. In addition, he has been a licensed Realtor since 1988. During that time, he has participated in many improvements to properties in Wickliffe. As a Realtor, he was directly responsible for sales of several properties that resulted in the building of four new homes in Wickliffe and the razing of one that was in disrepair.
He married Linda Gordon in 1973. Both were Wickliffe Senior High graduates in 1967. They have been married for over 40 years and have three sons, Glenn, Todd and Scott, also all Wickliffe Senior High graduates. In addition there are two daughter-in-laws, Marie (Glenn) and Michelle (Todd) and Scott's fiancée, Rebecca. They are grandparents to Kayla, Mason, Allyson and Ty.
Michael Benz's work reflects his passion for the Northeast Ohio community. He was instrumental in bringing the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum to Cleveland and served as the museum's director. He first coordinated the effort to win the rights to build the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, then was recruited back to become the director and finished the funding and broke ground at a critical juncture in the Rock Hall's development.
Mike is the retired President and CEO of United Way of Greater Cleveland, one of the largest and most innovative United Way programs in the nation. Under his 18 years of leadership, United Way raised more than $732 million dollars to fund health and human services in our community. Also under Mike's leadership, United Way implemented one of the most innovative public art projects, GuitarMania®, that raised nearly $2 million and attracts national and international acclaim. Mike also is known for operating a very tight ship and he has kept administrative expenses under 13 percent, which is less than many other non-profits, including other United Ways around the country.
Mike is married to Louise and has 5 Children, Aaron, Patrick, Jessica, Lisa and Mary.
They have 14 grandchildren. They live in Concord, Ohio, was raised in the early years in Cleveland, then
Euclid and his formative years in Wickliffe where graduated from Wickliffe High in 1965. Attended Cuyahoga and Lakeland Community Colleges.
He served in the United States Navy.
In addition to raising funds for our community, Mike has invested as much energy in ensuring that United Way's investments are sound. In 2008, under his leadership United Way implemented a new approach to funding programs that is heavily grounded in research and designed to move the needle on our community's problems. Today, United Way funds 216 health and human service programs and three federated agencies that help more than 450,000 Greater Cleveland residents every year.
His career also includes 12 years as the Greater Cleveland Growth Association Executive Vice President and seven years as COSE Executive Director.
Mike has served on several local, state and national boards for the Chamber of Commerce, the United Way at all levels. He was an Executive Committee Member of the Cuyahoga and Cleveland Workforce Board. He served for 10 years as a Trustee of Cuyahoga Community College and served as its Vice Chairman. He currently serves on several organization boards, including Ingenuity. He is the Chairman of the Board of South Pointe Hospital. He is on the Regional Board of Fifth Third Bank.

Bob Calic was very active in sports at an early age. Football was his choice of sport during his attendance at East High School in Cleveland Ohio.
Bob and his wife, Pat, are the proud parents of three sons Chris, Sam and Todd. Bob moved his family to Wickliffe, Ohio in 1970 and resided there for almost twenty years. At that time his father in law passed away and his mother in law moved in with the family. They needed to find a larger home. Bob, and his family, moved only one street away to Willoughby where he continued, and still continues to retain, his ties to the community of Wickliffe. As a result, those same ties have been instilled within two of his three sons, Chris and Todd, who coach within the city. Chris is the owner of Seasonal Sporting Goods in Mentor. Todd, the youngest of the three, is employed by the Wickliffe Recreation Department and is well known and respected for his contributions to the city. A third son, Sam, is a CPA in Mentor where he resides and is involved in coaching within that city. Through all the years of service to the Wickliffe community, Bob has instilled the love of working with the young within his sons while serving their respected communities.
Bob became involved with the Wickliffe Midget Football League long before his three sons were old enough to participate in the program and retains those ties to this day. He has spent every Sunday, during football season, at the Middle School field since his early days of coaching a team. After many seasons as a coach, he channeled his energy into any other area that needed his help and could benefit from his experience. He can be seen at the concession stand early Sunday mornings until the final game for the entire season. You will also see him at the Wickliffe High School football field as he watches the many athletes that have come up through the system and participate in the Wickliffe High School football program as he works the chains for each Friday night home game.
Bob's enthusiasm did not end with football. He could be seen on any given spring and summer evening coaching the young athletes in baseball. He became an umpire for the youth leagues and was able to allow many of the Wickliffe kids to obtain jobs as umpires to earn a little money. He organized teams and played softball for many years with the Wickliffe Sunday morning league often times on the same team as his sons and their friends.
When not working with his son, Chris, at Seasonal Sporting Goods, working around the yard or helping out with programs in Wickliffe, you will find Bob along with his wife Pat, at every event involving their two grand-
children Lexie and Sammy.
Over many years Leslie Ciancibello has been very active in the Wickliffe community. Most notably was his dedication to seeing that the Wickliffe Cemetery be reopened for those wishing to be buried in Wickliffe. Since the cemetery was no longer accepting in-ground burials he, along with his sister Terri Jo Rotondo, and members of the Wickliffe Cemetery Commission devised a way to open the cemetery with above ground inurnments. A columbarium would be purchased for holding the cremation ashes. The City approved the plan in 2008. To date 29 people have made Wickliffe their final resting place.
Les was also active in many City organizations. He was a past president of the Wickliffe Lions' Club. He was a social member of the Wickliffe American Legion Post #7 and Wickliffe Eagles. He served as Wickliffe City Club board member and long-time member of the Wickliffe Knights of Columbus #5405. He has been a popular Italian-American Club member for over 22 years, serving two-terms on the board of directors.
He was most known for his fund-raising efforts for the organizations he joined. Whether the organization was raising funds for assisting the poor or ill, or helping high school seniors off to college with scholarships or assisting families in need of heat, food or rent he helped get the job done. He would also donate many of his own dollars for the benefit of others.
Les is the son of Lester and Theresa (Fatica) Ciancibello. Lester was inducted into the Wickliffe Community Hall of Fame in 1993 for his role in serving the US Army during WW II.
He was born in Painesville and moved to Wickliffe where he attended Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School and Wickliffe High School. Following high school he worked at Consolidated Box in Wickliffe where he met his future wife Radelle Tirabasso in 1965.
Les and Rae were married in 1966. They raised two boys, Leslie and Luke. Leslie is married to Mary (Krahe) and they have two daughters Kaela and Allison. Luke's two children are Alanna and Nicholas.
He learned the upholstering business from his father at Schultz Upholstery. He eventually took over the business. He moved the company from Cleveland Heights to Willoughby 11 years ago. He operated the business for over 48 years. Les recently retired from the company and his son, Luke, has taken over. Thus following in his footsteps, as Les did for his father.
Les's siblings include brother Doug Ciancibello, owner of Burgers and Beer in Willoughby. His wife is Toni (Lariccia). Les' sister Terri Jo is the wife of Lornie Rotondo.
Although retired, Les attends as many meetings and fund-raising functions as possible. And, he is still buying and selling fund-raising tickets through his many Wickliffe friends.
(Deceased, 1938-2007)
Richard DiCicco, in his spare time, thoroughly enjoyed his more than 40 years of membership to the Wickliffe Italian-American Club. As a member of the Parliamentary Committee and several other committees, he was instrumental in the formation of the current bylaws, contract bid work, and development of the financial controls currently used at all activities held by the club. Richard also served for several years as Director of Operations for the Cleveland Challenge Cup of Bocce and enjoyed playing in and winning the invitational tournament many consecutive years as the captain of the Lake Metro Parks team.
Richard was born on March 3, l938 to parents Frank and Theresa, had a younger brother Dominic and lived his entire life in Wickliffe. At a very young age, he helped his mother and father at their family run store, DiCicco's Grocery and Beverage. He attended Wickliffe Schools and graduated in 1956.
Richard attended Kent State University and later the Cleveland State University, Marshall School of Law,
passing the Bar Examination while working full-time with the State Auditor's Office. For the next 32 years, he worked both as a State Examiner and Attorney, moving his legal practice from Euclid to Wickliffe in 1985 where it closed at his death in 2007.
During Richard's 32 years at the State Auditor's Office, he used his accounting education and legal background to conduct special investigations and started the current Special Audit Section of the State Auditor's Office. Richard headed a small team of investigators from the State Auditor's Office and Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office to investigate and successfully prosecute some of the largest white-collar criminals in the 80's and early 90's. He became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1992.
In 1998 Betty Montgomery, Auditor of State and former State Attorney General said of Richard,
"With his thorough investigative skills and auditing and legal background, Richard knows how to close all the doors to an investigation and make a guilty plea the only possible outcome."
Upon retirement from the State in 1991, Richard continued his legal practice and performed several while-collar investigations. Early in 2001, at the request of the Geauga County Prosecutor, he headed a team of investigators into a troubled Chester Township, where he uncovered a $4.1 million scheme, hatched by the Chester Township Clerk. At the time this was the single largest monetary finding, in Ohio, against an individual in government.
Richard also served several years as a Commissioner for the Lake Metro Parks. He was very proud of his work on the park board, receiving many accolades during his years of service.
Though many things were important to Richard, nothing was more important than his family. Richard was married to Donna for 42 years, and had three children, Richard Jr., Paul (Janet) and Teresa (Art). He was also very proud of his five grandchildren, Abigail, Nina, Faith, Joshua and Alexis. One more grandchild he did not see was Jessica. He would have been proud of her also.

Grace McCullough is a woman of deep faith, love, devotion, and compassion. It all originates from her heritage, parents, education, friends, family, City of Wickliffe, and the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish Community.
Although much could be said of her, it is her religion, faith, duty to God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, and the Virgin Mary that are most important to Grace. She can be found at mass nearly every day at either OLMC, St. Paul's Shrine in Cleveland or at Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine in Euclid.
Grace became a member of the Mt. Carmel Society in 1978, and later an officer.
With encouragement from Mary Biondolillo (then OLMC Society President), Grace began to organize one and two-day pilgrimages to places of religious significants. Most pilgrimages in Ohio and Pennsylvania carried busloads of OLMC Society members and parishioners to see and hear the messages from God.
These small trips would change in 1987, when a small OLMC group talked about a village in Yugoslavia named Medjugorje. The Blessed Virgin Mary was appearing to 6 children. Catholics and non-Catholics from the world over traveled there hoping to see the Virgin Mary and receive her blessings. Knowing this, Grace had to go. She helped organized a seven-day Pilgrimage to Medjugorje. After experiencing the Virgin Mary's blessings and presence, she organized three more Medjugorje trips.
Heeding Gods call, Grace organized pilgrimages to Italy, Portugal, France, Turkey, Spain, Greece, Slovenia, Guadalupe-Mexico, as well as various USA trips.
In 1990, Rev. Nicholas Taylor (OLMC) asked if she would arrange a bus trip to a Marion Conference in Chicago. So inspired by the speakers, community, and Holy Spirit, that when she returned, a group was formed of Fr. Taylor, Tom Hummar (Bus Mgr), Celine Dudley (Attorney) and Grace to plan the Cleveland Marian Conference. The first conference was held in 1991 at the Cleveland Convention Center and three more followed in 1992, 1993 and 1995. Most volunteers were from the Mt. Carmel Society and OLMC parish.
In 1991, Grace joined a prayer group at Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine. For 18 years, every Friday night the group met and prayed. They prayed what has become known as "The Divine Mercy Chaplet." Fr. Emmanuel Buenen (Order of Franciscan Monks) began teaching about Divine Mercy and its feast day. Since 2001, OLMC has celebrated Mercy Sunday (the 1st Sunday after Easter) and the Divine Mercy Chaplet. Grace and Rev. John Sturmac were the organizers.
In 1993, Grace helped organized the Perpetual Adoration Chapel. The Perpetual Adoration Chapel is where someone is present at OLMC's Chapel seven days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Anyone can pray, adore Christ in the Blessed Sacrament because of this. Grace is a fixture on Wednesday's at 3 pm.
In 2000, Grace became a Eucharistic Minister after the encouragement of Rev. Thomas Stock (OLMC).
In 2005, after three plus years of religious studies, Grace became a Secular Franciscan. This is a community of Catholic men and women in the world who seek to pattern their lives after Christ in the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi. Franciscan's are members of The Third Order of St. Francis. St. Francis of Assisi founded it over 800 years ago. One of the vows of St. Francis's spirituality was simply… "Observe the Gospel".
Born in Collinwood to first generation Italian Americans, Anthony and Josephine Laddis, she is the second of five children (Loretta, Lewis, Anthony, Barbara). Grace raised three sons, Ken, Jr., Gary, and Anthony. Graces life has been an incredible journey filled with deep faith, love, and devotion.
(Deceased, 1933-2013)
Michele Marguerite Rogers was born in Akron on Valentine's Day 1933, and like the central message of the holiday, her life was dedicated to love – that of her family, her friends, and her patients. Michele graduated from St. Vincent Charity Hospital School of Nursing in 1954 as class president. In her career as a registered nurse, she worked at St. Vincent Charity Hospital, Wade Park Veteran's Administration Hospital, Booth Memorial Hospital, and De Paul Home for unwed mothers and St. Ann's Hospital.
She married Ronald Keith Rogers in 1956 and together they quickly began raising a family. They moved to Wickliffe in 1976 where she, along with her husband and nine children, participated in many activities, playing various sports, swimming at Orlando Park, watching annual fireworks at Coulby Park, and attending Mass at our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church.
In 1974, her desire to provide a broader spectrum of accessible, quality and continuous healthcare to women and their families led Michele to co-found BirthCare, which shortly thereafter became Womankind Maternal and Prenatal Care Center. Her life as a nurse filled Michele with deep purpose as a caregiver and advocate for pregnant women and their babies. Not only did this organization provide free prenatal care and delivery services for pregnant women, it also treated women with many other medical needs. During the thirty-five years Michele served there, she and her husband frequently opened their own home to women who had nowhere to turn and no place to live. Her children relate that it was common to come home and find strangers who would share their bedrooms or relegate them to sleeping on the couch.
Womankind, which will celebrate its fortieth year of service in 2015, continues to provide medical care and support to approximately 1500 women each year and averages 400-child births annually. In her work there, her colleagues as having describe Michele taught them patience, compassion, and listening skills. With a vision of untiring love of others and welcoming hospitality, she is remembered as treating each person who walked through the clinic's door with kindness. Michele respected her clients, relating that they were, "some of the strongest women she knew." A co-worker expressed that Michele, "Treasured her children, my children, your children and the waiting room children." She consistently challenged those she worked with to love without limit; especially the most difficult clients whom she recognized were often the individuals needing it most.
Michele had a great sense of humor, a wild sense of adventure and a delightful sense of mischief. Theater and acting were her great loves and she was larger than life even without a stage. She created. She made things happen and fostered an environment where everyone could be their best. Her advocacy and concern for her fellow nurses and the nursing profession led her to help organize the nurse's union at St. Vincent Charity Hospital. In 1980, because of her work related to prenatal and infant care, the March of Dimes recognized Michele as Ohio's Nurse of the Year.
Michele died at home surrounded by her loving family on April 25, 2013. She found her deepest
enjoyment in the hours she spent with her children, grandchildren, her sister Joan and her nieces and
nephews. Michele respected life. She treasured life. And she fully lived hers!
Education begins at an early age when we learn that we are part of a larger universe. Parents and teachers begin us on the lifelong path to learning. Born in Erie, Pennsylvania, that path began there, where he grew up and eventually to moved to Wickliffe – more than half-a-century later.
After graduation from Wickliffe Senior High School and Kent State University, he was privileged to teach during a "golden age" of education in Wickliffe where creative support began at Worden Elementary School from the principal down to the professional colleagues with whom he taught. The entire team included the support staff from the secretaries, nurse, cooks, librarian, cafeteria and playground aides, and the ever-patient custodial staff. The boys and girls provided life and energy to the process.
With his interest in Early American History, he spent 14 years as a seasonal Park Ranger / Historical Interpreter at Colonial National Historical Park – Jamestown / Yorktown, Virginia where he not only learned of, but also shared our national past with hundreds of visitors from across the country and around the world. The two seasons serving in the Student Education Program at Gettysburg National Military Park took him into another pivotal era of our American history.
Closer to home, he shared our Western Reserve history with schoolchildren at Century Village in Burton, and spent over a quarter-century as historic interpreter and Director of River's Bend Parks at the Lorenzo Carter Log Cabin at the Heritage Parks in Cleveland. Serving as a guide in Little Italy allowed him to learn and share the unique situations that immigrants faced when assimilating into America – situations that were experienced by all immigrants regardless of their nation of origin.
He assists Michael Lenenski, retired Choral Music Director of Wickliffe High School, in planning educational components of the Annual Wickliffe / New York City Theatre Tour. These trips allowed him to research and share stories of that metropolis with those participating in the tours.
He states his motivating factor has always been – that from whatever era, history is the story of people, and people who were not all that different from us in our basic needs. We can learn from them. And if we don't, we are destined to repeat history – be that good or bad.
He is proud to share his induction into the Wickliffe Community Hall of Fame with his parents, Herman and Margaret, now deceased, and his sister, Susan Bocci, with those outstanding educators of Wickliffe City Schools- from elementary through High School- who influenced and challenged him on the path of education, to those distinguished colleagues with whom he taught and those who encouraged him to share knowledge in life's journey wherever we might find ourselves.
(Deceased, 1910 –2000)
"Morry", as his friends called him, owned and operated Savitt's Market, a grocery store in Wickliffe, for over 25 years. Morry loved people. If you wanted something that was not on his store shelves, he would special order it for you. If you walked to the grocery store and bought more than you could carry, he would drive you home. If you overspent and didn't have enough money to pay for your groceries, he would say, "pay me next time." When Ken Conti was in high school and couldn't afford to go to prom, Morry reached into his pocket and gave him the money so he could attend the dance.
If wealth was measured in how you treat and care about others, Morry Savitt was a wealthy man. His ability to carry on a conversation about anything with anyone was truly unsurpassed.
When he retired from the grocery business, he could not just stay home. People were his life. He helped out in the kitchen at Petti's Restaurant until he passed away at the age of 90.
Morry loved Wickliffe. He served two terms as president of the Wickliffe Lions Club, helping many people in need.
Morry received his accounting degree from Fenn College. Money was tight after graduating and he needed a job. He moved up in the grocery business by working hard seven days a week, 10-12 hours a day. He was a manager of both Food Town and Pic-N-Pay stores before eventually purchasing his own grocery store in Wickliffe.
Morry served proudly in the army in World War II. He was one of seven brothers and sisters, all now deceased. His beloved wife, Rose, passed away on February 2, 1997. He is survived by his son, Dr. Sid Savitt (Dianna Austin); daughter, Debbie Haffner (John); grandson, Matt; granddaughter, Lindsey; and great-grandson, Matthew.
Helen (Minadeo) Vespe was just 22 years old in 1944 when she said to her mother she wished to join the U. S. Coast Guard at the height of World War II. Despite her mother's pleas against her joining she eventually understood her daughter's desires and acquiesced.
She was joining the Women's Reserve of the U. S. Coast Guard Reserve program (officially nicknamed the "SPARs"), first established in 1942. A total of 978 women officers and 11,868 enlisted women served in the SPARs during World War II.
Gathering with many brave young women from the Cleveland area, they travelled by a rickety old train leaving from Terminal Tower, in downtown Cleveland, on an exciting and long journey to boot camp in West Palm Beach Florida. Her entire family was there to wish her off on her proud journey. Unsure of her next few days she ventured on determined to join the war effort.
Her fears of boot camp were diminished as she says, "It wasn't that hard on us, mainly teaching us to march and learn the Coast Guard ways in three months time."
Following boot camp she was assigned to Washington D. C. as clerical personnel for Coast Guard record keeping and general office work. She wasn't there long before she heard her mother was ill and asked to be stationed near her home in Wickliffe. Her wish was approved and she was transferred to an office in downtown Cleveland.
Once in Cleveland she moved into the Coast Guard's Quad Hall on E. 79th and Euclid Ave. Her days were spent in the Keith Building as a Coast Guard office worker.
Later due to her mother's poor health she was allowed to live at home in Wickliffe while still working downtown.
Helen was born in Wickliffe in 1920 and lived almost all her years here except for the months training in Florida and working in Washington D. C.
Her mother, Lena Vitantonio married John Minadeo. Helen was the youngest of six children. Her siblings were: Jesse, Carrie, Dominic, Frances, and Antoinette. Her mother operated the Minadeo Grocery Store at 29522 Euclid Avenue in Wickliffe.
Fr. Nash, of Willoughby's Immaculate Conception Church, traveled to Wickliffe to conduct the first Catholic masses in Wickliffe in the building next door at 29526 Euclid Avenue. This was prior to Our Lady of Carmel Church being built. Helen still lives in the apartment of the building that masses were held.
She left the Coast Guard in 1946 and went to work at Fisher Body in Euclid, Ohio. She later married Benjamin Vespe in 1959.
Helen doesn't speak much of her years in the Coast Guard and feels she did little in the war. She was a brave young patriotic woman who volunteered to help the American cause. The members of the U. S. Coast Guard regard her as a vital part of a well-run machine. The many women (SPARs) like her, working behind the scenes, were just as important to the war effort as those on the seas and front lines, doing their part in keeping the world safe from tyranny and free.

Snow tracks lead to arrest of drug suspect
by Wes Mayer
On Friday, with a little help from the snow on the ground, drug investigators arrested a man suspected of distributing both marijuana and crack cocaine in Newnan.
After receiving multiple complaints about narcotics and alcohol being sold from a home on the 100-block of West Washington Street, investigators with the Newnan Police Department's Drug Unit served a search warrant at the home on Friday, said Sgt. Mark Cooper with the drug unit. During the search, the homeowner cooperated and provided the identity of a man who sold narcotics in the home, Vercardo T. Hodo, 31.
According to the homeowner, Hodo left the home on his bicycle right before authorities arrived, and assisting deputies with the Coweta County Sheriff's Office located and stopped him on West Washington Street, Cooper said. While talking to Hodo, a K-9 unit was called to the scene, and after some searching, authorities located a bag filled with narcotics hidden in the snow in the side yard of a nearby home.
According to Cooper, investigators were able to follow the tracks left in the snow and connect Hodo to the narcotics. Inside the plastic bag, investigators found 10 separate baggies containing suspected marijuana and 46 baggies of pre-packaged crack cocaine rocks, and Hodo was charged for the possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. Hodo also had $500 in cash in his possession.
A woman, Laquinta Shabre Jackson, 33, was also arrested at the residence during the search, Cooper said. Jackson was caught attempting to hide a baggie of suspected marijuana in between the cushions of a couch - the suspected marijuana in Jackson's baggie matched the baggies found in the snow, leading investigators to believe Hodo recently sold the marijuana to Jackson.
Jackson was taken into custody and charged with the possession of marijuana.
Both Hodo and Jackson were transported to the Coweta County Jail, but the owner of the home on West Washington Street was only given a warning for a disorderly house for cooperating in the investigation, Cooper said.

Recap |
Box Score |
Wisconsin head coach Bobbie KelseyOn game against Boston College:We did a good job, we had to go to ad-libbing a little bit with that 4-on-1 but it came through for us. Lacia (Gorman) came through, Taylor (Wurtz) did what she normally does for us and our bigs finally started scoring on the blocks so we are happy.On playing with four guards for most of the second half:They went four guards so we can't have post player trying to run around and getting screened. Again it worked for us because we had some openings and people knocked down some shots. I know that one Taylor hit at the end was a big one so when they got shooters on the floor and they go small you got to make an adjustment.On Lacia Gorman:She is better than she knows; she doesn't know how good she can be because she can handle the ball. They can't really press her, but when she gets timid that's when they get her, but she's a ball handler, she can shoot. I think this game was a good confidence game for Lacia I feel like it was good for her confidence and for ours as coaches.Now we know we can put her in and she can build on this and really be that next scorer, we need another scorer besides Taylor. And Lacia can shoot, (when) she slows down and she gets a good look, she can knock it down, and we're going to depend on that we're going to put some more pressure on her. I told her she grew up today, she's eating solid foods now. She's not a baby anymore she's walking, talking and eating solids.On if she wants 40 percent of shots coming from 3-point range:If they go in, yeah. Three's help you to open the paint and get your bigs some open one-on-one looks and then it's up to them to score. We have good 3-point shooters and they need to continue to shoot every chance they get and get reps up.I told them if you have a spare moment you got to be shooting because other people are, and we have to be able to knock down outside shots because they'll just sit on top of our posts and we won't score at all. We have some good shooters they just need to believe they can knock it down.On the Big Ten - ACC challenge:We want to win this challenge. The ACC has kind of dominated us overall, but we did our part tonight and now we need everybody else to do their part, but it is fun. It's a good bragging thing, it's in good recruiting to say you beat the ACC schools and that's a great conference for women's basketball. It's only going to help our game to see the ACC and Big Ten go at it. It's some good matchups. I'm just interested to see how everybody else does, but we took care of our business so we're happy about that.
Boston College head coach Sylvia CrawleyOpening statement:"I was happy with the way our team fought in the game today. I thought they fought hard to come back. We just couldn't catch a break. Wisconsin is a very good team. You can tell the direction that this program is headed in and I thought they shot the ball extremely well, especially from '3.'I thought they rebounded the ball very well in the first half. They had offensive rebounds and put-backs. They had five offensive rebounds and five second-chance points in the first half. I challenged our team to come out and do a little bit better on the boards, especially crashing the offensive boards. I thought we did that. So we'll just watch film and try to get better from this."On using the full-court press and half-court trap:"We forced 20 turnovers and we got 19 points off of those 20 turnovers. I was happy with that, but I thought it took a little bit out of us on the offensive end. We were working really, really hard to press and get the ball back to have opportunities to score, but then on offense we were a little bit winded from working so hard on defense. We pressed a lot and we have been working on that. It's something that we wanted to implement into our system this year, and I thought they fought hard with that."On Wisconsin's defense:"In the first half, I thought we had some turnovers that were unforced turnovers. In the second half, I thought that Wisconsin just sort of fed off the momentum, they defended really well, and they played a role in the rest of those turnovers. They are long. They have long arms and they were everywhere. Their intensity was great on defense. I thought they did a good job. We need to learn how to execute better. When they switch or do something, we need to counter that. I think that will come to our team with more experience."On Taylor Wurtz: "She is a tough player. She plays hard for 40 minutes and if you take a break, she is going to expose you. I think she is a really good player in terms of work ethic. There are very few players that work that hard anymore. I think that's what she has going for her and that's something that will help her stay consistent throughout the year."

Louisville's softball team came through Oklahoma last weekend. Beat the top-ranked Sooners, who in non-Louisville games are 29-1.
Louisville's women's basketball team is here this weekend, in the Sweet 16 against top-ranked Baylor.
Louisville men's hoops seems to be the nation's best team. The Cardinals play Sunday for their 10th Final Four; they've been to regional finals four times in the last six years.
Louisville's baseball team beat Notre Dame on Friday night. No big deal until you realize the Fighting Irish are ranked 15th nationally, and the 'Ville is 10th.
And don't forget, the last time we saw Louisville's football team, the Cardinals were winning in a rout. Over Florida. In the Sugar Bowl.
Now is as good a time as any for our quarterly lamentation. How did the Big 12 ever let Louisville get away?
We knew it in October, when Louisville accepted an invitation to the Atlantic Coast Conference. Then again in January, when the 'Ville took a 33-10 lead on Florida and won 33-23. And we know it now.
The Big 12 missed the barge. The Big 12 stayed reactive instead of proactive. I tried to tell them. OU athletic director Joe Castiglione tried to tell them. David Boren and his pal, Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, tried to tell them.
Louisville was a no-risk addition. Adding Louisville didn't mean the Big 12 had to commit to a 12-school format, but it would have positioned the conference to more easily expand, if that became the goal. Maybe best of all, Louisville would have been a morale boost to a beleaguered conference.
Yes, each Big 12 school would have taken a slightly lower television payout. Whatever value the 'Ville added would have been a little low to offset the extra mouth to feed. But think of the pragmatic benefits Louisville would have provided.
Especially this time of year. Another heavyweight in March Madness. Kansas' shoulders are getting tired, carrying the rest of the conference the way the Jayhawks have in recent years.
Think of Kansas City — or hopefully Oklahoma City — hosting a Big 12 Tournament with Louisville. A quarterfinal docket of Kansas-Texas, Louisville-OU, OSU-Iowa State, Kansas State-West Virginia. Are you kidding me?

It is amazing to me that the U.S. Congress seems incapable of altering the course, of its ill-conceived mandatory budgetary reduction (sequester), which began on March 1, 2013. The sequester grinds on even though it has been estimated by the Congressional Budget Office that it will lead to the loss of 750,000 jobs and a cut in the rate of economic growth by one third.
At a minimum, the $80 billion across-the-board cut for FY 2013 should be reallocated so as to reduce its impact on critical social welfare programs. For example, in New Mexico, these are programs affecting health, safety, and education; i.e., our state being among the worst performers in these three areas. Also, important to local citizens are programs administered by the Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, both slated to be cut. It seems unconscionable that Congress is attempting to manage the deficit by shifting its budgetary burden onto the backs of the least fortunate Americans. Of more concern to Los Alamos, NNSA will lose ~8 percent of its funding, which may result significant recissions at LANL.

Agricultural studies is an interdisciplinary major requiring courses from each of the five departments in the College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences (CAFES). A relatively large set of elective courses allows students to customize programs to meet individual needs. The agricultural studies major requires a minor, which provides students with a deeper understanding of one aspect of agriculture.
The major is a gateway into the agricultural field for those who don't know what they want to do (can't choose a specific major), and it serves those students who know exactly what they want to do and are looking to tailor a program to meet their specific needs.
Because of the flexibility offered by this major, CAFES faculty in every department can be part of each individualized student program. The department of agricultural economics is the academic home for this major which provides consistency in advising students in this program.
For more information on Agricultural Studies, please contact:
David Trechter PhD - Chair
131 Agricultural Science
- The agricultural studies program gives you the flexibility to design a program to meet your needs.
- If you know you like agriculture but are undecided about a specialization.
- You'll be prepared for a variety of career options in sales or production agriculture. In fact, it is designed more for students seeking employment immediately after graduation.
- Students are exposed to the array of disciplines in the college, allowing them to see important links between disciplines and to approach issues from a multidisciplinary perspective.
- The facilities include excellent classrooms, general and specialized laboratories for different disciplines, computer labs, a greenhouse and laboratory farms.
