Agarwal fills the vacancy created when the former dean, Ray Watts, was promoted today to the role of university president.
Agarwal said in a statement he will not be a candidate for the permanent dean position.
"It is an honor to be named interim dean of the UAB School of Medicine," Argarwal said. "Dr. Watts has laid a clear and progressive path toward even greater success for the school, and we will keep moving forward with that path."
Angarwal is director of the school's Department of Nephrology. He is also vice chair for Research in the Department of Medicine and served as interim chair of medicine from August 2011 until August 2012.
"Anupam is an outstanding leader. He has the admiration of his colleagues and he is a stalwart advocate for UAB," Watts said in a statement. "He was an obvious choice to be the interim."
Agarwal joined UAB in 2003 as an associate professor and was promoted to professor in 2005. He was appointed division director for nephrology in 2008 and vice chair for research in the Department of Medicine in 2008.
He graduated with honors from Kasturba Medical College in India and completed his residency and fellowship in nephrology at the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in India.
He completed another fellowship at the University of Minnesota Hospital and later served on the faculty at the University of Florida.
His clinical and basic science interest is on kidney failure, according to the university.

ANN ARBOR -- Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner found himself on the 2014 Manning Award watch list Thursday, one of 32 players nationally.
The Manning Award, handed out annually to the country's top quarterback at the end of each season, features five quarterbacks from the Big Ten Conference -- Gardner, Michigan State's Connor Cook, Ohio State's Braxton Miller, Iowa's Jake Rudock and Indiana's Nate Sudfeld.
The 6-foot-4 Gardner returns to Michigan for his fifth and final season with the Wolverines in 2014. Last season, his first full year as a starter, Gardner racked up 2,960 yards, 21 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He completed better than 60 percent of his passes and also rushed for 11 scores.
Gardner averaged 286.9 yards per game (total offense) last season, more than any other returning Big Ten player.
The Manning Award list will be trimmed to 10 finalists on Nov. 26, and the winner will be announced on Jan. 14.

It has been about 10 years since the first section of the Fonda, Johnstown & Gloversville Rail Trail was opened to the public. In that time, it has become a popular place for people to bicycle, rollerblade or just enjoy a little bit of "greenspace" in the midst of civilization.
While the original plan for the trail called for it to run from Fonda to Broadalbin, via the Glove Cities, that has not yet come to fruition.
Gloversville City Court Judge Vincent DeSantis said even if the trail is never completed, it still is an asset for all of Fulton County.

Pedro Avia of Johnstown rides his bicycle on the Rail Trail near West Montgomery Street in Johnstown Tuesday.
"It's beautiful," he said about the Rail Trail. "If nothing else is done, it would still be a big plus."
DeSantis, who also has been working in Johnstown as the county Family Court judge for several months, said he rides his bike on the trail to and from work. The trip gives him about one hour or so every day to appreciate what the trail currently provides, and what it could mean for the future of the community.
When DeSantis takes his bike to work, he is riding along one of two completed sections of the trail.
James E. Mraz, director of the Fulton County Planning Department, said one section runs about 9 miles from the southern end of the city of Johnstown, through Gloversville, and out to Dennies Crossing at the border of the towns. The other starts near Vail Mills and goes less than 2 miles before terminating near Second Avenue in Broadalbin.
That leaves two undeveloped portions of the originally proposed trail. The southern end of the trail should terminate in the village of Fonda, near the Erie Canal trail system.
The trail should also run from Dennies Crossing, along the old FJ&G Railroad path, to Vail Mills.
"The primary challenge now is finding money [to do the work]," Mraz said.
A notable amount of the money that has been spent on developing the trail, roughly 80 percent, already has come in the form of government grants.
Since Fulton County received the first grant for the project back in 1996, about $1.25 million in grant money has come in for the project and related ones, such as the construction of the Fulton County Visitors Center.
However, Mraz said given the status of the economy and the state's budget situation, grant money might not be reliable. That complicates completing the trail, he said, because the plan from the start has been to use grant money to pay for the bulk of the work.
What already has been completed is popular, though.
Allison Swartz, director of tourism development for the Fulton County Regional Chamber of Commerce & Industry, said from the spring through the fall people regularly come to the area to use the trail. She noted the chamber and the Glove Cities have continued to promote the trail, because people who use the path tend to visit local businesses, as well.
"Ultimately, I think we all would love to see a whole, complete trail," Swartz said.
DeSantis was one of the early supporters of the Rail Trail, and he said although it is not yet the 18-mile trail that was planned, it is already delivering some of the benefits supporters hoped for.
#Across the nation many people have tried using bicycles for transportation instead of gasoline-powered vehicles. DeSantis said the trail plays right into that. As more people become comfortable with the idea of riding a bicycle to and from various tasks -work, grocery shopping - the more use the trail will receive, he said.
The Rail Trail not only beautifies the areas it runs through, DeSantis said, it can also provide recreation to a wide-variety of people.
While motor vehicles are not allowed on the trail, virtually everything else - bicycles, walkers, roller skates, etc. - is.
"It's very pleasant to use [the trail]," DeSantis said. "I also see many other people using it as well."
Wally Hart, the president of the county chamber of commerce, said the Rail Trail is the type of feature that enhances the quality of life for the people who live in, and those who are just visiting, the county.
"It gives people another reason to come here," he said.
However, some people say the Rail Trail has become a highway for crime.
While acts of vandalism have been reported near the trail, the concern reached a peak when a Gloversville man was stabbed to death in August.
But Gloversville Police Capt. James Lorenzoni said the alleged murder was an aberration.
"The trail is no more dangerous than any other section of the city," he said.
The typical calls officers deal with on the trail itself - suspicious person, disorderly conduct, underage drinking - generally do not involve violence either, he said.
Lorenzoni said given the number of people who use the Rail Trail per day, it probably generates fewer calls per person than any other part of the city.
Marianne Sanderson, who has operated Mariannes Too in Gloversville for eight years, said the trail helps her business. People who use the trail routinely stop and visit the store, at the intersection of Bleecker Street and Eighth Avenue, to get a drink or some food, she said.
While the business has been vandalized, Sanderson said that is a problem businesses throughout the city deal with.
"Any of [the store's] problems are not related to the Rail Trail," she said. "I see it as a plus."
DeSantis said some people might have the impression the trail is dangerous because parts of it can make travelers feel like "they are pretty much in the woods."
The concern is that if help is needed, it might be a long way off, he said.
However, DeSantis noted other public places - the parks, the sports fields - generate the same concerns.
"Will we stop having public amenities because of the possibility a crime might occur?" he asked.
The issue of public versus private property actually is part of the reason the trail is not complete.
The 9-foot-wide strip of asphalt pavement that forms the ground of the trail literally runs on top of the old railroad bed that belonged to the FJ&G.
The railroad was created in 1867, and its first engine pulled into a terminal in Gloversville three years later.
By 1903, the FJ&G had expanded far from its original track, stretching from Northville to Schenectady.
The company in fact created its own tourist destination in the amusement area known as Sacandaga Park. That park already was on the decline when the Hudson River-Black River Regulating District won its lawsuit with FJ&G to complete the Sacandaga Reservoir project in 1930.
Other factors contributed to its decline, including, after World War I, competition from the automobile.
By 1974, what remained of the FJ&G was sold to the Delaware & Otsego System.
The company continued running freight trains for another 10 years, but eventually sought to abandon the strip of land the Rail Trail was later planned for.
The Glove Cities exercised their preferential rights to the land in the early 1990s, and acquired the right of way from Dennies Crossing to Fonda.
Both cities subsequently adopted agreements stipulating they would maintain their sections of trail, and Fulton County agreed to do the same for the other parts of the trail.
However, the as-yet unfinished section of the trail between Dennies Crossing and Vail Mills was not publicly acquired.
The stretch of land was subsequently divided up and sold to six different property owners, which of course entitled them to the right-of-way.
When the plans for the Rail Trail were announced, a couple of the owners made it known they would not allow even non-motorized traffic to go through their property. They had concerns about possible crime, littering and liability issues.
Mraz said it would be best if the land can be purchased from the current owners and the trail can continue along the former railroad bed.
While staying along the former railroad tracks adds some historical value, it could also save the county money compared to going off the former train path.
Not only does the old railroad bed provide an almost perfect foundation for a trail, Mraz said, when the FJ&G railroad laid its track down it dealt with the various construction difficulties generated by the wetlands, ravines and hills in the area. In many cases, they just avoided them entirely, he said.
"If we deviate from the [railroad] path, it will generate more construction," he said. "More construction means more money will be needed to do the work."
Getting the trail from the city of Johnstown down to Fonda could also be complicated, but in a different way.
While the right-of-way is owned by the city, some people may have a problem with money from Fulton County being spent to do work in Montgomery County, he said.
However, despite those difficulties the plan is still to complete the original proposal for the trail, stretching about 18-miles from Fonda to Broadalbin.
There is no timeline to complete the work by, Mraz said, as the## funding and other issues will determine when the work is completed.
DeSantis said if the trail can be constructed as planned years ago, it would be even more of a benefit to the area.
"I definitely think it is a tremendous asset," he said. "But it has still not reached its full-potential."

Three seek to lead state teachers union
By Jerry Cornfield
Special to the Reporter
Washington's powerful union of public school teachers will elect a new state president today when representatives from around the state cast their ballots in Bellevue.
Seeking the job are Everett Education Association president Kim Mead, Oak Harbor Education Association president Peter Szalai and Mike Ragan, the WEA vice president. The winner will succeed Mary Lindquist as head of the 82,000-member Washington Education Association.
The winner will and be thrust into an intensifying debate among state lawmakers on the amount of reform and revenue required to improve the performance of students.
WEA is pressing lawmakers to fully fund education in accordance with a Supreme Court decision last year. But groups like Stand for Children are pushing back, saying that decision is as much about money as it is about making reforms that will improve the quality of teaching and performance of students in schools.
"It's been very frustrating to not be able to turn the conversation away from one that is blaming teachers and shaming schools to one that focuses on the issue that affects schools most and that is chronic underfunding," said Lindquist, who has served a maximum three terms. "That has been my biggest challenge and that is going to be the challenge of the new president."
Roughly 1,200 delegates, chosen by members of the locals, will vote. If none of the three candidates captures at least 50 percent of the vote, there will be a run-off between the top two vote-getters. The winner will begin their term July 6.
Most of the WEA's membership are certificated teachers employed in the state's 297 public school districts. WEA also represents noncertificated classified personnel in several districts.
And its membership includes faculty at 10 community and technical colleges, the three regional universities – Western, Central and Eastern – plus The Evergreen State College.

J. Clairemidi, C. ReylÕ-Laffont, G. Moreels (Observatoire de BesanÓon), P. Brechignac (Laboratoire de Photophysique Moleculaire, Univ. Paris Sud)
Emission spectra of comet P/Halley in the 360-390 nm wavelength range were obtained by using the three-channel spectrometer carried on board the Vega2 spacecraft which encountered the comet on March 9, 1986. After subtraction of the dust-scattered solar continuum, the spectra show the presence of new spectral features: a broad band with peaks at 363, 367, 371, 376 and 382 nm.
The 1/p-type intensity increase (p: projected distance between the nucleus and the line-of-sight) suggests that the molecules responsible for the emission are most probably of the parent type. We compared our cometary spectra with UV laboratory spectra of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons having 2 and 4 benzenoid rings. A laser-induced fluorescence experiment was conducted in the laboratory to record the dispersed emission spectrum of anthracene and pyrene under jet-cooled conditions. The comparison between the cometary and laboratory spectra suggests the presence of P.A.H.: probably anthracene and pyrene in Halley's comet.
In 1994, we showed that phenanthrene was a possible candidate for the four bands at 347, 356, 364 and 374 nm. This presence adds a strong argument in favour of the fact that comets are constituted of interstellar matter.
We present the results of the comparison between Vega2 spectra and laboratory spectra. The radial intensity at the considered wavelength is shown for the different wavelengths of the P.A.H. and for daughter molecules.

I'm late to write up my thoughts on Gordon Mclean's post, Strange Bias, but I give him a belated thumbs up for great self-inspection and data query in the post.
My take? I read ""Why James Chartrand Wears Women's Underpants" on Copyblogger in December. It's a great survivor story that you should read in its entirety, but the gist of it is that James is a pen name for a woman freelance writer, who writes the popular blog Men with Pens. Merely representing herself as a man made a real difference in her career trajectory. I was shocked, though, that she never had to talk to clients on the phone and that she never went to conferences or spoke at conferences.
It made me wonder if I'd have 10 times the subscribers to my blog if I had started in 2005 as Tom Gentle. It really did. But we are who we are, and being genuine and transparent is all part of my blogging experience. Many of the opportunities I've had in the past 4-5 years are somehow related to my blog and the work ethic it requires to maintain.
And to answer Gordon's question, "is it just me?" I'd say, my experience with tech pub teams I've been on are that men are the slightly minority gender. If you believe Quantcast web stats about the STC website, you see that 61% of site visitors are female. I've also observed more women at tech comm conferences than men.
But, socializing being, well, social, means you tend to relate to people like yourself, right? So followers, friends, and fans, being self-selecting as they are, may prove that men follow men and women follow women. I think Twitter certainly reflects this tendency, since research shows men follow men on Twitter. And bloggers use Twitter far more than the general population (See the pie chart on the Day 5 report).
If you read Technorati's State of the Blogosphere you see that 2/3 rds of all bloggers are men. So the 55% blogs written by men that Gordon reads actually differs from the predictive 66% overall population. A great observation, Gordon, well done.

Bored, unkempt and no longer taking real pride in his work, Walter is the sort of worker most employers would give a bad performance review, even fire. But do you really want to chew out a hitman?
So instead, Walter's boss urges him to take some time off. Opting for a working vacation, however, the cash-strapped assassin decides to take a soft job babysitting a mobster's young, volatile wife.
Apparently Walter's never seen "Pulp Fiction." But we have - and we know this is never, ever going to end well.
And it doesn't, of course. Yet along the way Walter's wintry story - given the unfunny, punny title of "Snowman's Land" - still manages to frequently surprise us, and him.
Crisply photographed and coldly played, this black little German comedy mines some admittedly familiar territory; the humorous hitman hero became a cliché a long time ago.
But the wintry landscapes give everything a fresh clean look and the unfamiliar faces add a bit of novelty.
Jurgen Riβmann is the sad-sack killer who just wants to get through a simple, no-strings job; Thomas Wodianka is the younger, wilder colleague who becomes his unwanted partner.
They work well together, and director Tomasz Thomson is good at illustrating something that cops and reporters talk about, but crime movies rarely show - the utter, endless boredom of being a hood.
Yes, there are moments of excitement and extraordinary brutality. But mostly it's just sitting around in some small crummy room, waiting for orders. J'eat yet? Nah, you? Nah.
And another hour ticks by.
Unfortunately for both gangsters, Eva-Katrin Hermann is determined to add some excitement. She's Sybille, the big mob boss' wife, and if her name doesn't trip you off that there might be some trouble ahead, then her fondness for sex and cocaine should.
And when the trouble comes - well, Reiner Schone's very angry mob boss isn't far behind.
All the actors are good and Thomson has a nice deadpan sense of humor, with the two contract killers going sledding like schoolboys on winter break, or the villain calling off a torture session when the battery on his electric knife runs out.
In the end, it's all a tiny bit too deadpan - unlike "Pulp Fiction," there's nothing quite as verbally amusing as "Royale with cheese" or as eyecatching as Uma Thurman's slinky dance in her stocking feet. Like Walter himself, sometimes the movie feels like it's marking time.
But then, just when it's lulled you into complacency, it springs back to life - and death.
Ratings note: The film contains violence, drug use, nudity and strong language.
'Snowman's Land' (Unrated) Music Box (98 min.)
Directed by Tomasz Thomson. With Jurgen Riβmann, Thomas Wodianka, Reiner Schone, Eva-Katrin Hermann. In German, with English subtitles. Now playing in New York.

BORDENTOWN — A 74-year-old Trenton woman died early this morning in a crash on Interstate 295 in Bordentown and police are investigating if a medical emergency prompted the one-car accident.
Nancy Giovacchini was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash near exit 57 on the northbound side of the highway after the state police responded at 12:16 a.m., said state police Trooper Christopher Kay.
Her car, a 2001 Cadillac Seville, was the only automobile involved in the accident, he said.
"The investigation is still ongoing to determine if her death was a result of the accident itself or a possible medical condition," Kay said.
The details of the crash, including if the car had struck anything, were unclear, Kay said.

Tacoma tells adults: Give the kids an hour to catch up
Thousands of students in Tacoma are behind in school, according to state tests that show they're not meeting grade-level expectations. City leaders say if adults in the community pitch in just one hour a week, it could help these kids catch up.
Mayor Marilyn Strickland says her own experience as a student in the city's public schools shows how outside support can make a difference:
"I received a good education. Now, I had the benefit of having two parents at home who were extremely involved in my academic performance. Not every child is that lucky. The reality is that some parents simply aren't going to get involved. So, how do we make up for that?"
She and a coalition of community organizations think volunteers could fill the void. Through an effort called "Find An Hour," they hope to recruit a massive team of adults who have 60 minutes a week to spare for a child who needs a tutor or mentor.
Volunteers can choose from several opportunities or be matched with kids based on interest, location and time of day.
Organizers say if they can get enough adults to meet with students at least a few dozen times, kids will have made huge gains by this time next year.

Well; Spring; Borehole Water Testing
I have a well / spring / borehole on my land and would like to have the water tested to see if I can drink it / bottle it ………
Our Frimley Laboratories have extensive experience in the testing of local natural water sources intended for a wide range of uses.
We can advise on your legal responsibilities, in particular where the water might be for use by people beyond your immediate family
This can be a recommendation for a testing regime, what you should test for and how to resolve matters should the testing show up any concerns.
Routine testing of natural water sources including boreholes can often be carried out on the spot using off the shelf products.
Often it is is important to carry out a more complete test, especially where there is a change of use of the water, perhaps you now intend to drink it. Or where your own testing regime reveals any problems or change in the water quality.
Do you want to bottle your spring water?
We can advise on the implemenation of a suitable risk assessment regime.

Welcome to the open rating that is free of charge for our loyal customers!
Most buyers will not buy your wares if they are not comfortable about you. A lot of what doesn't make them comfortable is what other people say about your brand, product or service. That's why a lot of them will stick to what they know, rather than adapt to the better they know not about.
A good number of consumers relied on magazines and consumer reporters/journalists to discover products, services or suppliers they could trust in the old days. Today, consumers no longer buy stuff from physical shops having taken everything online. They depend on customer reviews to make decisions on whether they should buy or wait out.
Essay writing companies serve millions of consumers who spend money online. Unfortunately, most of them are not as huge as Amazon or cannot expose the identity of their customers/employees. Students rely elsewhere when they want information about what custom essay writing companies they should trust.
Students as consumers
Students spend a lot of time and money researching and buying essays online. This task is hard because they have to rely on traditional forums to find information if any about what goes on inside some essay writing companies. In the end, they end up using essay writing companies that have no interest in serving them, or know how to serve them well!
Why review essay writing companies
There are hundreds of essay writing companies out there. Most of them are good at what they do; professionals and everything. However, a small number gives these consumers a hard time when they do not deliver on their promises, or send our plagiarized, low quality essays.
Our goal with ucollegecommunity.org is not to replace essay writing companies with something else, but to help consumers figure these companies out. We do it through provision of the right information they need to make decisions.
Find out what are essay writing services in this video!
How it works
We initially go out to ask customers of essay writing companies about the service providers they have used in the past. These consumers rate company quality, consistency, and reliability. We use the information they give to rank some of the best ranked essay writing companies in the world. Our users can use the list directly to make decisions.
We also send out emissaries to investigate the work of different essay writing service providers. When they do, we are able to compile a summary that tells the consumers everything they need to know about a company before making decisions.

PEI FC new logo (2014)
One goal was enough, but the SoccerStop P.E.I. F.C. added four more in a 5-0 shutout over Codiac First Touch in New Brunswick Premier Soccer League action Friday in Charlottetown.
P.E.I. striker Jared Murphy notched the eventual winner two minutes into the first half and Matt Thomson scored shortly after Murphy for a 2-0 edge which remained going into halftime.
Murphy added another goal (his 13th of the season) in the second frame, along with Dillon Wight and Brett Hogan, to add to the haranguing of Codiac keeper Adam MacPherson.
"Getting that early goal definitely helped. It kept the other club always fighting from behind. And the guys kept playing hard, kept the ball rolling pretty well,'' said Murphy, adding his team knows the dangers of letting down the next game after a win. "We still haven't won anything yet. All we did was light a fire under the other team and we know they'll come out the same way.''
P.E.I. upped its record to a league-best 10-1 and a circuit-topping 48 goals and 30 points. Second-place Codiac dropped to 5-1-1.
The teams meet again today in Charlottetown. Game time is 2 p.m. at UPEI.
P.E.I. F.C. keeper Dave Feener faced several good Codiac chances, including needing a little help from the top crossbar midway through then second half to maintain his on-no, but earned his fifth win and third clean sheet of the season.
As for Codiac defender Florian Ntima, he said First Touch had no touch right from the opening touch.
"Right before the first goal, we were not ready to handle that type of attack,'' said Ftima, whose defensive backfield was harassed for much of the game by the pressing P.E.I. strikers and midfielders. "(But) we're pretty smart and know what we (have to do today).''
The win was P.E.I.'s third shutout in four games and seventh this year.

SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIF. – At its meeting on yesterday, June 19, the County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors approved a policy that provides step-by-step guidance to community groups or individuals who want to have monuments erected on County property. The policy further details the basis on which the County will consider such requests and outlines evaluation criteria and limitations on the acceptance of monuments. The policy was prompted by a request from the members of the community to erect a Vietnam War Monument. To be able to respond, Supervisor Dave Cortese asked the administration to develop a process and evaluation criteria to guide County's consideration of such requests.
The County also wants to ensure that proposed monuments are not political in nature. The policy states: No physical feature, including but not limited to sculpture, memorial, structure, or landscape feature, shall be installed for the purpose of bringing attention to a special interest or cause unrelated to the eligibility factors.
The following criteria shall be considered in determining whether or not to accept a donation of a monument and the ultimate location of the donated monument:
All approved monuments installed on County property become the property of the County.

A lot of what needs to be done is already clear--a no-brainer. I believe $2 million was wasted on the feel-good study portion of things that won't bring real fruits.
That two million could have gone toward pedestrian safety projects, signals, etc., instead of something intended to provide cover and make people think something's happening when it really hasn't begun yet.
I don't believe it takes $2 million to figure out what to do first.

Syracuse, NY -- A former walk-on member of the Syracuse University football team remained in custody today after being charged in additional break-ins in his south campus neighborhood.
Christ A. Basile, 22, of 351 Winding Ridge Road, initially was charged Thursday with breaking into an apartment at 410 Winding Ridge Road about 5:30 a.m. that day.
After being arraigned in that case Friday in City Court, Basile was charged with three additional burglaries. They occurred about 12 a.m. May 3 at 311 Winding Ridge Road, 9 p.m. May 4 at 211 Winding Ridge Road and 5:30 a.m. May 6 at 320 Winding Ridge Road.
He is accused of stealing televisions, other electronic equipment, watches and cash. He faces a variety of burglary, larceny and stolen property charges.
The court papers indicated Basile confessed to police and some of the stolen property was recovered in his apartment. Lawyer Jeffrey DeRoberts said one of the victims was SU basketball player Andy Rautins. DeRoberts said he was working to retrieve Rautins' property.
City Judge Langston McKinney set bail Friday in the original case at $1,500 cash or $10,000 bond. The judge set bail at $10,000 cash or bond in each of the three additional cases Saturday.
Basile was supposed to be back in court today for a preliminary hearing. But defense lawyer Thomas Ryan waived his client's cases directly to a grand jury for consideration.
Ryan said he believed Basile was still a member of the football team when he initially was arrested last week. SU officials said Friday Basile was no longer on the team.

Glens Falls – Chalk up a fourth consecutive New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class A championship for Jamesville-DeWitt, which did it in convincing fashion Sunday at the Glens Falls Civic Center.
The Red Rams defeated Harborfields of Section XI, 66-51, but turned this one into a rout early. They led by as many as 26 points in the first half and, despite a little lull in the third quarter, never let the game get away from them.
Dajuan Coleman. Tyler Cavanaugh. Demetrius Mitchell. Davi Sacco. Pete Drescher. J-D's starting five all contributed in their own way.
Coleman, the Rams' 6-foot-10 center and the tournament Most Valuable Player, finished with 22 points, including two 3-pointers, and 16 rebounds. Cavanaugh had 22 points and 13 rebounds. Mitchell had nine points and four steals. Sacco's pressure defense gave the Tornadoes fits. Drescher provided an emotional lift after missing the Section III semifinal and final with an ankle injury.
These state championships never get old for the Rams or head coach Bob McKenney.
"They're all sweet. I could never pick between any of them,'' McKenney said. "You graduate kids every year. You have kids who didn't get to play one year have a chance to become a part of it the next.
"Every one has been fantastic,'' the coach added.
"They all feel the same to me,'' said Coleman, who played before Kentucky coach John Calipari, who flew to Glens Falls from Tampa, where his Wildcats defeated West Virginia to advance to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16.
"Every championship, I'm really happy,'' Coleman added. "To me, when I think of four state championships, I just think of hard work. That's what got us here.''
"I love them all,'' said Drescher, like Coleman and Cavanaugh, a junior. "Every time we win, it's the same emotion, the same everything. It's a tradition now. I can't wait to be back next year.''
"It's what we all dream about.'' Cavanaugh said.
McKenney said the hardest part about defending every year is, probably, managing expectations.
"We win a sectional championship and everybody is so matter of fact,'' he said. "They forget that winning the sectionals is a great accomplishment in and of itself.''
This state championship didn't come as easily as some of the others. Mitchell broke his foot early in the year, the Rams lost at Cortland and failed to win their league championship. They lost two more games to out-of-state powers, and suddenly questions arose about the overall strength of this team.
But Mitchell returned. Coleman and Cavanaugh stayed dominant, and all became well for the Red Rams.
"Everybody questioned whether we could do it without that pure Division I guard,'' McKenney said, referring to past stars Andy Rautins and Brandon Triche. Rautins is now with the New York Knicks after a stellar career at Syracuse University. Triche is currently a starter for SU.
J-D came out fast and furious against the Tornadoes, opening a 25-9 lead after the first quarter and a 410-20 advantage at halftime.
Harborfields closed to win 13 points early in the fourth quarter but J-D went on a 14-0 run that included two Coleman dunks and a Coleman 3-pointer.
"We got tremendous play out of Davi Sacco, too,'' said McKenney, who says his senior guard is one of the best defensive players in the state.
"And I'm not embarrassed to say that,'' McKenney said. "I thought when we got just a little flat in the second half he turned the game around with his defensive, and he had three great passes going to the basket.''
McKenney said his team's fast start took away any pregame jitters.
"We came out with a lot of energy early,'' McKenney said. "We emphasized trying to get the ball up and down the court to take advantage of our depth. And we took care of the basketball today. We were disappointed in how we handled the pressure Saturday. Today, we did what we had to do in terms of taking care of the ball. We had better possessions.''
Nick Fessenden and Matt McLeod led Harborfields (21-3) with 18 and 17 points, respectively.
"Those two bigs (Coleman and Cavanaugh) killed us,'' Tornadoes coach Chris Agostino said. "We couldn't stop them. Everybody talks about Coleman, for good reason. Cavanaugh is pretty good, too.''
J-D, which improved its record to 23-3, advances to the Federation Tournament next weekend in Albany.
"It's a chance to compete against two of the better schools in New York state,'' McKenney said. "You never want to come off the high of this weekend and lose the next weekend. We'll take this seriously.''

Columbus talent helped animate Inside Out for record audiences
Inside Out, Disney Pixar's latest animated feature and one of its most imaginative, has broken box-office records — thanks in part to several central Ohio residents.
The film — which made more money its opening weekend than any original feature film (non-sequel, non-remake or non-adaptation) in U.S. box-office history — ushers viewers inside the mind and feelings of a young teenage girl with five characters each reflecting one of her primary emotions.
"In my opinion, Inside Out is one of the best films we've ever made... It strikes a pretty amazing balance of humor and heart," said Pixar technical designer Mike Altman, who worked as a 3D sets modeler to create environments for both the "real world" and the "mind world" in Inside Out.Posted by Michael Grossberg on June 30, 2015 03:18 PM

When I think back to some of the most memorable central Ohio theater productions that I've seen – and treasured – in my years at The Dispatch, Ionia Zelenka was key.
A great actress and a great director as well as a beloved teacher, Zelenka died Saturday (Oct. 20) peacefully in her sleep in a Roanoke, Va. assisted-living facility after spending the previous evening in a routine visit with some of her many children and grandchildren.
Zelenka, 90, was found Saturday morning in her bed with a smile on her face.
What a blessed way to go – and what a life she had.

Reason 48: Unveiling of Washington Wizards' new uniform and logos
It's always exciting to see a new program receive new jerseys or logos. Either way, fans will come to hate on the ridiculous new gear the team wears or marvel at the newly-created design. For the 2011-12 Washington Wizards, the team has chosen to switch from its traditional dark blue and white jerseys [which were created in the 1997-98 season with a few slight adjustments over the years] to a red jersey that incorporates blue and white accents. To go along with the new color scheme, different logos can be spotted on the ends of the shorts and above the player's last name on the back of the jerseys. You can check out the fresh uniforms and logos here and decide for yourself which looks better. For all of you non Wizards fans, you can see your team's logos and uniforms form the past to get a glimpse of its history. Nonetheless, it'll be exciting to see these new uniforms when they hit the court in early November.

Athlon predicts Western Michigan will finish 6-6 overall and 5-3 in the Mid-American Conference, placing the Broncos third in the West Division, behind Toledo and Northern Illinois.
Here's the national edition write-up on WMU. There's a more detailed version in the Big Ten editions, though those are in magazine print only.
Eight Broncos made Athlon's All-MAC teams, with Jordan White, Lewis Toler and John Potter on the first team. Alex Carder, Tevin Drake, Paul Hazel, Ben Armer and Dervon Wallace (as a kick returner) made the second team. Both Athlon and Phil Steele have included Drake on their preseason All-MAC teams, despite only 40 carries last season — albeit for more than 400 yards.
WMU's last all-conference running back, Brandon West, is getting a little ink as member of the Canadian Football League's Saskatchewan Roughriders. Here's a piece from Tuesday's Montreal Gazette on West's difficult past. My favorite West story to tell is his performance against Eastern Michigan in 2009, playing on an empty stomach, flying in the morning of the game after attending his brother's wake. Here's another piece I wrote on him from 2008, which gives greater detail on his past.
WMU media relations director Mat Kanan put together a story on West leading up to his debut with the Roughriders. West had four carries for 32 yards and one catch for 10 yards in the Roughriders' 23-22 win over Edmonton last Saturday. He had two carries for 23 yards in a 34-6 loss at Montreal Wednesday. Apparently they play twice a week up there.
I feel good for West. I remember speaking to him at his pro day at WMU. He clearly was nervous about the future and didn't want to leave school. He's been trying to find a spot in the CFL (which only has so many Americans per team) for a year.
West's former teammate and WMU's all-time receptions leader, Jamarko Simmons, is playing professionally in the Arena Football Leauge for the Jacksonville Sharks. Simmons' touchdown in a 62-47 win last weekend helped Jacksonville win its 12th game in a row. Simmons has six touchdowns this season, mostly being used as a short-yardage back.
I thought Simmons would find a home in the NFL. I'm still surprised that didn't happen. He clearly hasn't given up on football.

In our opinion: Hard news
It's going to be hard for parents, teachers and councelors to explain to the young students at Armin Jahr Elementary School why one of their fellow students brought a handgun to school and shot another.
Tougher still will be the task assigned to investigators who will try to figure out, for themselves, what happened Wednesday when an child of less than 10 years shot another youngster just minutes before the bell rang to end the day.
Clouded further will be the much sought answer as to why it happened at all. Key to it will be the obvious question asking how that child got their hands on a loaded handgun.
As the citizens of Bremerton deal with the recent and fresh concerns for a serial murder in a West Bremerton neighborhood they will now add to it the concern of the unknowable, the unthinkable and the unreal idea that one child perhaps tried to kill another.
According to the experts, hundreds school based shootings and murders in the last century are mostly the result of planning and preparing and not the actions of a student that simply "snapped." Another question likely to be pursued for the next several weeks is one asking what signs were missed and if there were any clues from the young shooter's life and behavior before the gun came out and the trigger was pulled.

Common Core is no good for America's children
To the editor:
When I was in nursing school I was required to take a course in child development. In this class I learned the appropriate developmental milestones for children at different ages. I am sure if you have any kids in your family or if you know any kids you know what I am talking about. A parent is always so proud when their child meets the next milestone.
Everyone is happy when their child meets the appropriate milestone (walking, talking, reading, writing, math) for their age. What happens when you give a child something to do that is above their social/cognitive ability? The child becomes fearful and irritable. This outcome is similar to what happens when you challenge many of our senators and representatives on certain issues.
And Common Core is one of those issues.
Common Core is the new school curriculum for children in kindergarten through grade 12.
1. This curriculum does not meet the age-appropriate milestones for your child, which can cause fear and anxiety in the child.
2. The teaching goals and methods are not age-appropriate.
For example, protocols for doing simple arithmetic are unnecessarily complex and confusing to kids (and even adults).
This will not encourage our kids but will discourage our kids from learning.
We are told that these standards are benchmarked to higher national and international standards, but what's the higher national standard and what country are they comparing us to? They never tell us.
They tell us our kids will be able to compete in the global market because of the Common Core curriculum. How do we know this is true if these methods have never been tested?
And, if we already have people from the U.S. working overseas in global markets, then what can Common Core do for our kids that traditional education hasn't already done?
Why do we allow legislators, governors, the federal government and the liberal elite to use our children as guinea pigs?
Common Core does not encourage individualism or creative thinking. A child must conform to the collective opinions of his classmates even if their consensus opinion is wrong.
Common Core subverts the cardinal principles and patriotism underlying United States history and emphasizes the idea that government should make us global citizens instead of American citizens.
The people who benefit most from common core are "select" companies such as the Gates Foundation, Penn State University, and the University of Pittsburgh that work on testing and other materials for Common Core. These entities stand to make millions of dollars on the backs of your children. The total cost to citizens will be in the billions of dollars and our children will be no better off.
And changing the name of Common Core to Pennsylvania Common Core or stating that it is state-based does not negate the fact that it takes away parents' rights and invades family privacy. Under Common Core, teachers ask your children intrusive questions such as "do your parents sleep in the same room?" And "do your parents own guns?"
Why does the government want to know this personal information and why are they asking your child inappropriate questions all under the farce of offering your child a better education?
In summary, Common Core devalues family ties and indoctrinates your child into liberal thinking. Common Core teaching methods are not age-appropriate and do not promote individualism or creative thinking.
Common Core is overly intrusive.
We need you to contact your legislators and tell them that you oppose Common Core.
Our children are our future!

Millerstown Borough Council President Bruce Hengst resigned at the Jan. 24 meeting, citing conflicts with his job with the state government. Billy Roush was elected president in his stead.
A search is on for a replacement for Hengst. Residents interested in serving may contact council members or call the borough at 589-3738.
Dividing the borough into manageable sections, borough employees, residents and council members soon will retrieve economic surveys sent in the mail late last year. The paperwork is important and will be a key factor in the borough's eligibility for grants for mandated upgrades in the water and sewer systems.
The work needs to be done by Feb. 14 to meet the grant application deadline.
Curt Black, representing Millerstown Community Success Inc., said the organization's holiday events were successful beyond the group's imagination. The date for this year's holiday event is Dec. 16 and it promises to have more vendors and activities.
The group also is planning a summer event in the square with booths, food and music.
While the group strives to build pride in the community, it also needs money in order to hire an architectural planner, a first step in the search for grant money. Black said MCSI soon will meet with a redevelopment planner.

W'bago to replace smashed squad car
August 30, 2013
WINNEBAGO — Winnebago City Council has approved buying a new squad car for the police department. The purchase was necessary because a squad car driven by Officer Brittney Gehrking was totaled Aug....
Why is a Winnebago cop car in the parking lot of the Blue Earth McDonalds? Maybe the Winnebago police officer should have stayed in Winnebago that night? I know the youths were stopped north of the Vernon Center bridge. But I still think the town's only police officer on duty should "remain in town", maybe putting "stop strips" down...

Wait a minute. Kids escape from YSI, steal a car, and then smash a cop car or two?!
And I read about it in the Sentinel weeks later only because Winnebago has to replace the squad car?
And you call this a newspaper? Geez.

The Auditing Standards Board has issued Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 15, An Examination of an Entity's Internal Control Over Financial Reporting That Is Integrated With an Audit of Its Financial Statements. SSAE No. 15 establishes standards and provides guidance to practitioners performing an examination of a nonissuer's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) in the context of an integrated audit (an audit of an entity's financial statements and an examination of its internal control). SSAE No. 15 supersedes extant AT section 501, Reporting on an Entity's Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. SSAE No. 15 converges the standards practitioners use for reporting on a nonissuer's internal control with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standards No. 5, An Audit of Internal Control That is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements.

Grand Rapids Forest Hills Eastern shot 186, edging Grand Rapids West Catholic by three, to claim the sixth OK Bronze girls golf jamboree of the season Monday at Egypt Valley Country Club.
Forest Hills Eastern's Henna Singh and Megan Skoog posted 3-over-par 39s to claim medalist honors, and Morgan Michaels and Jessica Daniels each shot 54.
"This was Megan's career-best score and she started off with an eagle," FHE coach Brian Telzerow said. "Henna has been a great mentor for her, and they make a very good 1-2 punch. Both of them continue to getter better. They both have better golf ahead of them, and that gives up a little leeway in the scoring as the other girls continue to try to shoot in the 40's."
Annalyse Hopping (44) led West Catholic, followed by Hanna Setlock (47), Katie Visockis (48), and Megan Vanderband (50).
"Today was a little underachieving," West Catholic coach Andy Weatherhead said. "Last week we had round of 184 and 170, so we know we can play better. When you play a tough course like this, you need to stay on task, and I think we drifted a little. The greens were faster than what we normally play, so we had more putts."
Cedar Springs (206) placed third, led by Conner White (48) and Bre White (49).
Grand Rapids Forest Hills Northern (211) and Greenville tied for fourth. Sam Kuipers (46) and Kenzie Wright (53) led Forest Hills Northern, while Taylor Hansen (50) and Karli Didion (51) led Greenville.
Grand Rapids Northview (252) placed sixth, led by Kenize Hanks (54).

Two days ago my son Chaz refused to go to school. I asked Chaz to share why he can no longer attend school. Here's what he had to say:
"I don't like school because whenever I'm in school no one understands how I'm feeling or where my emotional level is at. And when I go into class and start moving around I get in trouble from my teachers. Having a social life is hard because I don't know how to really communicate with some kids. I don't know sometimes how to not judge people and just accept them for who they are. Everyday when I go in I feel sick to my stomach and nervous because I'm afraid that I'll get in trouble, not be able to focus or get yelled at today. When I stay home, no one judges me or gets mad at me for being who I am. And I can move around as much as I want and just let out all the feelings that are stuck inside me during the school day."
After starting middle school this past September, I have been working diligently with the school psychologist, guidance counselor, and Chaz's team of teachers to help him find ways to function happily and successfully in his new academic environment. To my great relief, I have nothing but praise and gratitude for the efforts of all the school personnel. Even though Chaz interprets that he "gets in trouble" from the teachers, I know that the teachers have been doing their best to work with Chaz within the parameters within which they are expected to perform within the school system. They have been compassionate, patient, flexible, and attentive.
However, two days ago, as we are in the midst of awaiting the scheduling of a meeting to determine Chaz's IEP (Individualized Educational Plan), Chaz's body, mind and soul could no longer emotionally deal with the continual psychological and physical effects resulting from being at school. And for the sake of my son and my family's well-being I agreed.
Due to illness and anxiety Chaz has missed over 30 days of school, spends more time in the school psychologist or nurse's office than in class, and has great anticipatory anxiety at bedtime, during the night, and mornings as he courageously and/or defiantly tries or refuses to attend school.
We've been discovering that Chaz has elements of what the experts label as ADHD, and ODD in addition to behaviors associated with your typical pre-teen, hormones starting to kick in stage of development. I have been reading books, speaking with other parents, exploring program possibilities within the school as well as other school opportunities, consulting with psychologists, investigating support groups, experimenting with alternative remedies and techniques to support Chaz's biological make-up, attending seminars, keeping the faith and praying that new and wonderful opportunities will arise from this many times overwhelming challenge.
The intent of this series is the hope that others will benefit from hearing Chaz's voice and experience, as well as from the many resources I am discovering as I journey this path of raising a child with learning differences. It is also a journaling of my efforts to help my son deal with his challenges without the use of medication.
I'm not saying that eventually that medication is definitely out for us. Medication may be a choice we end up choosing. I know that for many parents and their children medication has been a life saver and the answer to their prayers. However, I do know that even with medication, living life within a community of other fellow human beings requires a daily commitment to choosing thoughts, responses and behaviors that allow us to thrive individually and collectively. I'm going to do whatever I can to first assist Chaz to modify his thinking/feeling/responding behaviors to help him learn that the change starts within.
The first step of many in which my son and I creatively deal with, embrace and support our learning differences was to come up with a new acronym for ADHD: Active Daring Happy Doers. I don't want my son feeling like he has a "deficit" or a "disorder." NO ONE should ever be defined by a label that puts them down instead of lifts them up.
Feel free to share how you experience and support a child with learning differences. All resources and words of wisdom welcome....:)

Only the Lonely Frank Sinatra
The whole album is a masterpiece and, IMAO, Sinatra's finest. His voice was never smoother, richer, deeper, more pained. This is my most favorite and deeply personal Sinatra album.
At the time of the recording, Sinatra's break-up and divorce from Ava Gardner had been finalized. He was so crazy for her. If you don't know about that love affair, read up on it. It was one of the great loves of the era.
The arranger of the album, Nelson Riddle, had recently suffered the deaths of his mother and daughter. Riddle remarked at the time, "If I can attach events like that to music...perhaps Only the Lonely was the result."
Sinatra was asked at a party in the mid-1970s if he had a favorite album of his, he said straight away, Only the Lonely.

World shares a right royal celebration
- From: The Advertiser
- December 04, 2012
IT doesn't matter who it is. A pregnancy and the prospect of a new baby is always a source of joy and delight.
That the lucky couple in this case are two of the most famous people on the planet will not stop the good-hearted wishing the royal couple well as they embark on one of life's great journeys.
The announcement that Prince William and his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, are expecting a baby next year has already caused much jubilation around the globe. World leaders, including Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard, have already sent messages of congratulation, while social media sites such as Twitter have been flashing the news around the planet.
The birth of this child is already destined to be one of the biggest events of 2013. Women's magazines have been predicting the pregnancy for the best part of two years already. Kate's ever-growing bump, regular health updates and name-the-baby competitions will be all be vital parts of the media scene from now until the baby is born.
The baby will be third in line to the throne behind grandad Prince Charles and dad William and will be born a fully fledged celebrity into an elite world of privilege. The downside is the child's every moment will be monitored, scrutinised and judged from the moment it arrives screaming into the world.
The warm glow surrounding the baby's arrival caps what has been a good year for the royal family.
The celebration of Queen Elizabeth's diamond jubilee this year provoked an outpouring of goodwill towards the monarch that has not been seen in decades. And while the monarchy still feels to some like a quaintly English tradition, the feelgood factor was on display in Australia this year when Charles and wife Camilla toured the country.
The benefits, though, will extend beyond the royal family. England as a nation will be lifted by the news that their much-loved royal couple are expecting this child.
It is also likely to provide a little economic boost as more tourists are drawn to England to share in the celebration.
While William and Kate may not have to worry too much about painting the spare room or how they will afford the new cot, the pram and the change table, they will still experience the very human joys and fears pregnancy and parenthood brings.
The Advertiser wishes the royal couple a safe and happy pregnancy.
City's brilliant blend official
IT'S official. Adelaide is an amazing place to live.
The Federal Government's State of Australian Cities report released yesterday has ranked Adelaide as the most livable capital city in the nation.
Not surprisingly, we had the the highest proportion of people who felt the city offered quality living, good economic opportunities and affordable housing. Adelaide was also the least expensive of the capitals, particularly for food, mortgage repayments and financial and insurance services.
While there is always work to be done in building and maintaining a vibrant city, the benefits of our great CBD should not come as news to South Australians.
The real value in this report is that it can now be used as a marketing document to spruik the city and the state to the world.
We know we have "A Brilliant Blend" here, and should not be shy about sharing it.

"As you know on Nov. 11 of last year, we had an amazing fundraiser for my father, Gregory D. Ono.
'We have always updated our website with the latest information, but didn't think to put something out in the public domain outside of HopeinMind.org.
"At the time of the fundraiser, I think my mother submitted something to the BEN column, but, unfortunately, I couldn't find it in the search.
"Either way, my family and I wanted to send something over to thank the community and you were the first person that came to mind.
"My Aunt Mae also mentioned something about the BEN column, but I'll let you decide what is best.
"The support we have received from the community has really made a difference in not only Greg's well-being, but for our entire family.
"I cannot express how grateful we are to have such wonderful, kindhearted and thoughtful friends and family to help us through this emotional journey.
"Greg was able to receive the care that he needed to live out his fight with brain cancer in a loving, caring and safe manner up until God ended his suffering on March 2.
"While we all struggle to come to grips with this terrible disease, a friend left me with some kind words that I truly appreciate.
"He quoted his father in saying shortly after his mother passed from the same disease, 'Cancer was not the best thing to ever happen to this family, but it certainly wasn't the worst, either.'
"He went on to explain in his letter to me that while this might seem off at the moment, a silver lining would emerge.
"A stronger family, with more love and more compassion for others is there, and he is absolutely correct.
'Thanks again.''

"Sir, you are absolutely correct. In ecology and evolutionary biology, it's re-phrased as 'Nature abhors a vacuum.'
"I'm not sure what the water laws are in New Jersey.
"I know that out here in Colorado, it's something called 'First in time, first in right.'
"People buy 'water rights' to rivers.
"These 'rights' are set by a state water board.
"It's like shares in a corporation.
"It is illegal to take a shovel and divert road runoff to your rose garden.
"It's also illegal here to collect rainwater from your roof, or even in buckets out in your yard.
"These water rights can be bought, sold and traded.
"Thirsty cities like Denver and its suburbs are buying up water rights from farmland so that the cities can feed their golf courses and Kentucky bluegrass.
"This is dry-land prairie, at least along the I-25 corridor.
"Our well is so deep because that's how deep we had to drill to hit water.
"Salt water wedges are both an above-ground and a below-ground thing.
"If the aquifer is being drained, then, yes, nature will fill it.
"How to fix the problem?
"That's something no one wants to talk about.
"It depends on whether your view extends only to your own lifetime, or if you care what we leave to our children and grandchildren, and beyond.
"Every time you see lawn sprinklers going, what does that say to you?
"How precious is our water?
"What's its best use?''
