Kemp making slow progress with left ankle
By Ken Gurnick / 8/19/2013 7:26 P.M. ET
MIAMI -- Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp began taking slight turns while jogging in the outfield, but even manager Don Mattingly concedes Kemp isn't likely to return before rosters expand Sept. 1.
"We thought he'd have a chance before September, but Matt's still not playing," said Mattingly. "He's still not there as time marches on. We don't feel he's moving backward. He's just moving forward slowly."
Kemp is still moving gingerly on the left ankle he badly sprained four weeks ago, landing him on the disabled list. He's not running at close to 100 percent, hasn't done stops and starts, hasn't done sharp cutting and hasn't run the bases.
He's also now wearing a sleeve around his left calf, saying that it's precautionary because he has a tendency of calf tightness. And when he does come back, he'll need to fight through the arthritic soreness atop his left shoulder that put him on the disabled list in July and might need offseason surgery.
Beard is back: Wilson joins Dodgers' bullpen
MIAMI -- Brian Wilson said his activation from the disabled list before Monday's Dodgers-Marlins game is the "final step" in his 16-month recovery from a second Tommy John surgery.
Wilson said reduced velocity "doesn't matter. It's about getting outs," and he convinced the Dodgers he's ready for the assignment. The Dodgers optioned outfielder Scott Van Slyke to Triple-A Albuquerque to make room for Wilson.
Wilson, who made four scoreless appearances while on a Minor League rehab assignment, gives the Dodgers three former All-Star closers to support current closer Kenley Jansen.
Manager Don Mattingly, going with eight relievers for now, said Wilson will help ensure that "we keep guys healthy and not overused. He's another guy we can use later in the game.
"He hasn't pitched in a long time. But there are things we know. We know he's not afraid, we know he's been there before."
Wilson hasn't pitched in the Major Leagues since April 2012, when he underwent Tommy John elbow surgery. He was non-tendered by the Giants last winter.
The Dodgers signed Wilson to join Ronald Belisario and Paco Rodriguez to pitch the seventh and eighth innings. Also in the bullpen is another pair of former All-Star closers -- Brandon League and Carlos Marmol -- along with J.P. Howell.
Van Slyke, who has been recalled four times this year, had given the Dodgers a right-handed power bat who can play the corner-outfield spots and first base.
Dodgers going with eight relievers, short bench
MIAMI -- By activating Brian Wilson and optioning Scott Van Slyke to Triple-A Albuquerque, the Dodgers made an August roster move meant for September and October, a move in the name of hoarding inventory.
They don't need eight relievers, but that's how many they have. They could have released Carlos Marmol, but manager Don Mattingly said, "We really like Carlos." They could have optioned reliever Chris Withrow, but he's stepped into a middle-relief role and has become too valuable.
So until rosters expand Sept. 1, Mattingly said the Dodgers will try to play one position player short. And he said he's "a little" concerned about it.
"It's something we'll try to navigate," Mattingly said. "It comes into play when the starter doesn't go deep and we have to pinch-hit a few times."
It might mean Zack Greinke joins the list of hitters for games he's not pitching.
What it means the most is that management likes what it's seen from Marmol, the deposed closer of the Cubs.
"We really like Carlos and what he has a chance to bring," said Mattingly. "We can use him in a couple of roles. He's really flexible, he can throw the ball every day. He threw 20 [pitches] and felt he could throw again the next day. He bounces back easily."

Alumni in Town…Rockies throw Down
Padres vs Rockies.
Opening Day at Coors Field.
Let's just say it's been a long winter and if you live in Colorado, …it ain't over yet.
Colorado does Opening Day right. Right in the fact that you don't need a ticket to the game to enjoy the festivities, just show up early ready to party. The weather was 70 degrees and perfect for April baseball.
The day started out with Douglas's breakfast at the 20th St Cafe as it has for the last few Opening Days. In attendance were, Jersey Geoff, Mike the Rox Addict…
Fran and Robert.
Our host Douglas, Hunter and yours truly. On an extremely cool note, I only eat at the 20th St. Cafe once or twice a year and the waitress remembered what my breakfast order was.
That's impressive!
Once we were full it was time to wander. Although there were a lot of folks hang'n around Coors Field, this OD seemed a bit mellower than ones I've attended in the past. Still there was lots going on.
Hunter and I stopped by and checked out my favorite local Artist Kyle Banister. Kyle had a primo spot for his art and was working on the Rockies 20th Anniversary logo in liquid chalk. 🙂
Here's Kyle Banister, Laura Rector, Eric Matelski working hard.
Here it is finished… WOW!!
Kyle's work always pops out at you. His link is on my sidebar.
Stilt Man out harassing some lady trying to read a book?
Hunter and I met up with long time Rockies employee and Rant follower Missy. 15 years with the Rockies right Missy?
As we walked by the 850 KOA booth I noticed Goose Gossage and David Nied getting interviewed by Mike Rosin.
I have Goose's autograph already but I was carrying a poster I wanted the "Nied for Speed" David Nied to sign. We waited around for a bit, but I figured I'd have better luck inside on Sunday acquiring Nied's autograph.
Batting practice was taking place and as Hunter and I entered the pavilion a hit baseball had just rolled up to the wall. Matt Belisle picked it up, looked up and saw Hunter standing there and tossed it to him. Within a minute of entering the stadium Hunter had the first BP ball of the regular season.
Hunter managed to snag one more and his old man came up empty for Opening Day.
Before BP ended I met up with my a friend and co-worker Kevin and his daughter Sam. This was their first Opening day at Coors and you could tell they were happy to be there just soaking everything in.
Seemed like there were fewer balloons this year?
Ceremonial first pitch.
Gonna be a fun season seeing these guys around, it feels like old times.
I like the fact that Dante has the boys hitt'n good so far.
Props to Cargo for staying healthy last year…Another Gold Glove!
Damn that thing is shiny!
This set of conjoined twins is known as the Hellowitzki.
First pitch of the game.
Cargo showing you why he got the shiny glove.
Look far left in the front row you can see Jersey Geoff in the mix.
This Canadian earned his bacon today.
Dex seconds before a home run blast to right field.
Dex's home run ball just before it lands.
Dex gett'n some luv from the dugout. You can see John Elway and Dick Monfort above the dugout.
Wait a minute, the entire stadium is celebrating Dex's home run and Elway is Texting?
Sorry John..I'm a huge fan but today you are the:
"Dude texting with TV seats" fan of the game.
Props to your girl though, she knows what time it is 🙂
Watch your back "Baby Bull"!
Rockies beat the Padres in their Home Opener…5-2
Folks that's three in row. The best the Rockies did last season was three in a row.
I'm extremely impressed with the Rockies pitching and hitting so far.
This team is loaded with talent, the question is: Is this the year we stay healthy and a new set of "Blake Street Bad-Asses" is born?
I'm "D" the Bad Ass Ranter….We need some attitude to go along with this altitude.

September 28, 2012
Campbell Soup Co. has announced that it will close a plant in Sacramento, Calif., that has about 700 full-time workers. Built in 1947, the plant, which makes soups, sauces, and beverages, is the oldest in Campbell's U.S. network and has the highest production costs on a per-case basis. Campbell also plans to close a spice plant in South Plainfield, N.J., that has 27 employees. Production will be shifted to the company's other spice plant in Milwaukee, Wis.
According to the company, a number of factors resulted in excess capacity in Campbell's U.S. thermal manufacturing network, including productivity improvements, volume declines of U.S. canned soup, and an increased focus on new packaging formats which are often produced under co-manufacturing agreements.
"We recognize this is difficult news for employees in Sacramento and South Plainfield. Campbell is committed to helping them work through this transition. As we position Campbell for profitable growth, we must continue to optimize our U.S. plant network and diversify our manufacturing capabilities. We expect the steps we're announcing today to improve our competitiveness and performance by increasing our asset utilization, lowering our total delivered costs and enhancing the flexibility of our manufacturing network. These actions also will eliminate the capital investments needed to maintain the Sacramento plant," said Mark Alexander, President, Campbell North America.

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is challenging all Canadian schools to get involved with the Canadian Freerice School Challenge to see if your school can donate the most rice to the worlds hungry while learning vocabulary, language, math, and geography or science skills.
What is Freerice?
Freerice is the world's only online game feeding the hungry worldwide. For every correct answer, 10 grains of rice are donated to WFP to feed the hungry. WFP is the world's largest humanitarian agency, feeding on average 100 million people every year. Freerice has raised enough to feed almost 5 million hungry people since launching in 2007!
It is free to play!
The rice is paid for by advertising banners displayed at the bottom of the screen. It's a fun, educational activity completely free for the players!
You can choose from the following subjects:
English Vocabulary, English Grammar, Literature, Famous Paintings, Math basic, Math multiplication tables, chemistry, world capitals, flags of the world and more!
How the competition works
Create a group under your school name at www.freerice.com or www.freerice.com/fr (the recently launched French version) and invite students, teachers, friends, family and parents to join. Anyone can sign up, join your group and play the game. Each teacher is able to register their class (up to 40 students per teacher).
Members of your group sign-in, select to play as part of your group, answer questions for your group choosing their favourite subject. For every correct answer, they earn 10 grains of rice which are donated to WFP. They can answer as many questions as they want, as many times as they want, going back to the game over the month of the competition.
The competition runs over a month starting November 1, and ending November 30, 2011 at midnight CET. The school group that raises the most grains of rice wins!
What's the prize?
WFP's National Ambassador Against Hunger, George Stroumboulopoulos will donate a specially designed school plaque engraved with the name of the winning school and 10 FreeRice signed t-shirts for the top donators within the winning group.
How to Win!
Simple. The School group with the most rice raised over a month starting November 1 , 2011 and ending November 30, 2011 at midnight CET wins the competition.
How to Join?
Step 1. Go to freerice.com or freerice.com/fr and sign up.
You will need an email address. We will send you an email with your username and a temporary password (you can save a more memorable password after logging in)
Step 2. After logging in, you can create your school group.
To be a part of the challenge, register your group's name starting with the prefix: "CFRSC - name of school - school board initials".
Upload a picture for your group - your school logo or a picture of your mascot. Ensure that you choose the "open" option to allow anyone to join, and choose "all categories" so all subjects can be played. Then click the button to "create group".
You can double check to see if your school has been registered by searching for it in your Groups list.
Step 3. Get as many members as possible raising rice for your group
Ask teachers to register their classes - clear instructions can be found here: http://freerice.com/teachers .
Each teacher should register themselves first. They can then register up to 40 students on the teacher's email address if the students are registered as being over the age of 14 (student profiles are limited and protect their identity). Registering a student as over the age of 14 will require an independent email address.
Ask parents, friends and students' families to sign up too!
Make sure to provide potential group members with your school's group URL, so they can join in. This can be found by clicking on your group name in your Groups list and sharing the url you are redirected to.
Please note: to ensure the grains members raise count towards your school group, they need to click on the "play" button for your group every time they play, or the grains they raise will not count towards your group!
Now you're good to go!
Where does the rice go?
Currently rice raised through Freerice is going to help the people of Cambodia which is recovering from decades of civil conflict and economic stagnation. Recently, rising food prices are making it more difficult for Cambodian families to survive.
In 2010 and at the start of 2011, rice was donated to provide school meals to students in Haiti after the devastating earthquake and later to helping Pakistan following flooding. Previously it has fed people in Myanmar, Nepal, Bangladesh and Uganda.

Jack Wilshere, who yesterday expressed his somewhat controversial views on who he thinks should be allowed to play for England, has come under fire from cricketer Kevin Pietersen on Twitter.
Wilshere told the press ahead of England's clash with Montenegro: "Only English people should play for England. Just because you live here for five years doesn't make you English. We have to remember what we are"
Wilshere's definition of what constitutes a foreigner was always going to be controversial and has sparked a debate on Twitter.
Wilshere's comments came in relation Adnan Januzaj's possible eligibility to play for England if he stayed in the country until 2018. Because of the Balkan break up in the early 1990s, and Januzaj's subsequent relocation, he could be available to represent a number of countries at international level, including England, Belgium, Croatia, Serbia, Albania and Kosovo.
South-African born Pietersen responded to Wilshere's comments by posting on Twitter:
"@JackWilshere -interested to know how you define foreigner...? Would that include me, Strauss, Trott, Prior, Justin Rose, Froome, Mo Farah?'"
To which Wilshere replied: "@KP24 With all due respect Mr Pietersen the question was about Football! Cricket, cycling, Athletics is not my field!"
Pietersen quickly replied: "@JackWilshere same difference.. It's about representing your country! IN ANY SPORT!"
Wilshere responded again, adding: "@KP24 I agree that's exactly what I was saying."
Wilshere's last response seemed to suggest that he was back-tracking over his earlier comments about what it means to be foreign. It remains to be seen whether Wilshere's comments will land him in hot water.

Fitting to Fulfill All Righteousness
John the Baptist has a point when he objects, "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?" (Matthew 3:14). But there's more going on here than he first realizes.
Here's Don Carson on what Jesus means in Matthew 3:15 in responding to John the Baptist, "Let it be so now, for thus it is filling for us to fulfill all righteousness"—
Jesus affirms, in effect, that it is God's will ("all righteousness") that John baptize him; and both John and Jesus "fulfill" that will, that righteousness, by going through with it ("it is proper for us"). The aftermath, as Matthew immediately notes (vv. 16–17), shows that this baptism really did point to Jesus.
Within this framework we may recognize other themes. In particular Jesus is indeed seen as the Suffering Servant (Isa 42:1). But the Servant's first mark is obeying God: he "fulfills all righteousness" since he suffers and died to accomplish redemption in obedience to the will of God. By his baptism Jesus affirms his determination to do his assigned work.
Thus the "now" may be significant: Jesus is saying that John's objection (v. 14) is in principle valid. Yet he must "now," at this point in salvation history, baptize Jesus for at this point Jesus must demonstrate his willingness to take on his servant role, entailing his identification with the people (Matthew, 108, paragraphing added).

Band Members Of Judas Priest Join Fantasy Camp Lineup, Also Finish Writing Next Album
Metal fans rejoice! British titans Judas Priest have officially completed the writing process for their new album and have started the recording process, producing the album themselves. In addition to this good news, the band has also joined the ranks for the next edition of Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp, which already boasts a host of other metal gods like Zakk Wylde, Rudy Sarzo, Lita Ford and Vinny Appice.
The long-awaited followup to the concept album 'Nostradamus' has been talked about for quite some time now. The last couple years have been busy for Judas Priest with the departure of long time guitarist K.K. Downing and the emergence of the young Richie Faulkner as K.K.'s replacement. Fans were able to catch the new guitarist, who has received significant praise from his bandmates, on the Epitaph tour. The career spanning trek served as a non-traditional farewell tour where the band embarked on what was allegedly their last full-blown, lengthy world tour.
After much talk, light has finally been shed on the new album in a slightly less ambiguous manner than over the past two years. In an interview with Billboard, Rob Halford had this to offer: "It's heavy. It's something we think our Priest fans will be thrilled with. We know we have a reputation to maintain, and we know we have to deliver something really strong and solid. The album is going to be full of all the great things you love about Judas Priest I don't think I can say anything more than that without being hung, drawn and quartered."
With the writing finished and tracking under way, Judas Priest will be free to participate in the Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp that takes place from Feb. 27-Mar. 2, 2014, at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nev. Commenting on the Camp, Halford stated, "I think they're just looking for some professional tips and want to hear from the voice of experience. It's one thing to sing in the shower and it's another thing to sing on stage. They're two totally different worlds … I'll try to explain myself as best as possible and give some insight into what it's like to be a metal singer."
Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp allows those who attend a chance to write and record a song with fellow campers under the guidance of some of heavy metal's biggest and brightest stars. Rob Halford, Ian Hill and Scott Travis will join an already-star studded cast in Vegas while Glenn Tipton hangs back to mix the upcoming album.

Announces Charlie Tillinghast as New Board Member
SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwire - Jan 15, 2013) - Mixpo, the leading cloud-based video marketing platform, today announced that Charlie Tillinghast, former president of MSNBC Interactive News, has joined their Board of Directors.
Most recently, as president of the Microsoft and NBC News joint venture, Tillinghast led the web site to a leadership position in profitability, traffic, technology innovation, and editorial excellence. Under Tillinghast, MSNBC Interactive was the leading news web site for video streams. In 2003, Tillinghast bucked the then prevailing trend of pay walls for news video and launched the first scale advertising supported video product. In 2010, Tillinghast led MSNBC Interactive to become the first web site to exclusively offer viewable ad impressions, years ahead of still developing standards for viewable ads. As an organizational leader, Tillinghast fostered the development of a high integrity company culture known for its transparency and respect for all employees.
"We are delighted to have Charlie joining our Board of Directors," said Mixpo CEO Anupam Gupta. "We are thrilled that the pace of our growth is tracking ahead of industry forecasts for our segment. It validates our strategy to provide media companies and brand marketers with multi-screen video solutions.

On top of that, the opportunity to directly support brand marketers' efforts to leverage any and all sources of video content to maximize their brand impact is a challenge Mixpo was uniquely built to meet. Charlie's extensive experience delivering value to brand advertisers and his passion for creating consumer-focused online experiences will be invaluable as we continue to grow our business."
"Video is at the center of today's online and mobile experiences. The ability for brands to leverage the large amounts of video content they have created and reach consumers with it across channels, publishers, and devices will be a key to their success today, tomorrow, and into the foreseeable future. I'm fortunate to be able to join a team of such esteemed thought leaders and influencers and am looking forward to leveraging my expertise and experiences in helping Mixpo build strategic partnerships and grow their business."
Mixpo Reports Record Growth
Mixpo is reporting an 80 percent year-over-year revenue increase in 2012, and second consecutive year of profitability. 2012 corporate growth metrics and milestones include a 77 percent increase in the total number of campaigns run on their platform and a 143 percent growth in ad impressions, delivered across desktops, smartphones, and tablets.
To meet the growing demand by media companies and brand marketers for their video marketing platform in 2012, Mixpo increased their employee ranks by 40 percent across their Seattle headquarters and offices in New York, Boston, and Victoria, B.C. In 2013, Mixpo plans to add another 30% more employees across all departments including product development, sales, and client operations.
Commenting on the advance of cross-screen video advertising, Gupta says, "2012 was the year of massive video and mobile growth. 2013 will be the year brands build on these two trends and take advantage of the vast amount of video content they have created, seamlessly across devices. With five years of experience working with media companies and brand advertisers to engage consumers with video across the digital landscape, Mixpo's expertise, partnerships, and products are perfectly suited to deliver immense value to this growing market."

This roast pork loin is about as easy and flavorful as it gets. It's also a great way to feed your crew without a lot of fuss, since everything cooks in the same pan.
Getting the timing right on the vegetables and meat can be tricky, though. If your meat (or your vegetables, for that matter) finishes first, remove the item from the oven and tent it with foil to keep it warm. Just continue cooking the remainder while the finished fare waits.
Note: It's fine to use whole fennel seeds in equal measure in place of cracked fennel. Just toast it in a pan over medium heat until fragrant. Then, bash it up using a mortar and pestle.

Second-period surge carries Flames' DII men past Falcons
September 28, 2013 | Lynchburg, Va.
Three goals in a span of 81 seconds midway through the second period helped Liberty University's ACHA DII men's hockey team erase a 3-2 Bowling Green State lead en route to a 7-4 victory over the Falcons,
The Flames killed a 5-on-3 Falcons power play a few minutes later before sophomore forward Paul Ingles added his second score late in the period for a commanding 6-3 advantage.
"All in all, it was a good effort by our penalty killers," Liberty coach Chris Lowes said. "Unfortunately, it had to be. We probably took a few more penalties than we would have liked."
BGSU was ranked No. 5 in the Southeast Region, one spot behind the Flames, last year before advancing to the ACHA DII national tournament as the Southeast runner-up.
The two teams each took 36 shots, with Liberty goalie Nick Devine making 32 saves to earn the victory.
Senior forward Brad Docksteader started the scoring for Liberty 11:11 into the first period when he chipped a shot taken by Jordan Barstead over Bowling Green goalie Justin Bockbrader from near the right post. Four minutes later, Parker McIntyre took a pass from Docksteader and fired a shot from the top of the right circle deflected into the net from in front of the cage by freshman forward Devon Docksteader.
But Bowling Green struck right back to tie it up with two goals over the next minute and a half. Rick Shaffer netted the equalizer on a breakaway after receiving a long outlet pass up the middle of the ice from Jarrett McGraw and finished with a backhanded shot into the top left corner. At the 14:40 mark of the second period, Michael Harrington lifted the Falcons to a fleeting 3-2 lead by slamming home a short pass from Brad Ahbe in the left crease.
Twenty-five seconds later, the Flames knotted it back up at 3-3 when Johnny Cotton, who scored a goal and distributed three assists in Friday night's 9-2 victory over visiting Christopher Newport, fed Jeff Boschman a pass behind the cage and Boschman spotted Barstead in the left crease for a quick finish.
"That was a real nice play, Boschman from the side of the net," Lowes said. "That's just Jeff. He's been doing it all year. All our lines really stepped up. I think we had a goal from every line, so that's a good sign."
Less than a minute after that, Ingles netted what proved to be the game-winner, through the glove of Bockbrader off a pass from the left corner by Docksteader, for a 4-3 advantage.
Sophomore defender Nate Arbour added a goal just under the 13-minute mark before Ingles put away a fast-break feed from Devon Docksteader with a backhanded shot from point-blank range to make it 6-3.
"The game was full of momentum swings," Lowes said. "We had a couple bad penalties and that let them get back in, but we had a good surge there in the second. Having a three-goal lead made us pretty comfortable. "
Shaffer converted another breakaway opportunity after stealing the puck from Barstead at mid-ice and lifting a shot that bounced off the left post and Devine's back into the net.
Freshman defenseman Bannon Lynott got that goal back in the closing seconds of a power-play with his first score of the year. He took a fast-break assist from Brandon Cox and unloaded a shot from the middle of the ice that whizzed past Bockbrader and landed top shelf.
Following a slow start Friday at home against CNU, Liberty got its attack in high gear, scoring three goals in the second and five more in the third, with Barstead collecting two goals and three assists and Brad Docksteader adding two goals. His first was unassisted, giving the Flames a 2-1 lead less than five minutes into the second period and his second capped the scoring in the final five minutes off feeds from Barstead and Ingles, who also contributed three assists.
Liberty travels to play Pittsburgh and West Virginia over its fall break next Friday night in Harmarville, Pa., and Saturday afternoon in the Morgantown Municipal Ice Arena, respectively.

2004-05 Men's Basketball
Manchester College 83, Bluffton University 81 OT
Bluffton falls short against Manchester in oT; Bergman hits 1000 points for career
By Molly Burnell, sports information assistant
February 19, 2005
BLUFFTON, Ohio - The Bluffton University men's basketball team (13-12, 6-8 HCAC) was defeated 83-81 in overtime by Manchester College (14-11, 8-6 HCAC) on Feb. 19.
Junior Scott Bergman (Elmore/Woodmore) scored his 1,000th career point and posted his first career double-double as he netted 28 points and pulled down 11 rebounds (team high). Junior Eric Sweet (Ottawa/Ottawa-Glandorf) posted 15 points on the afternoon. Sophomore Michael Anthony (Ohio City/Delphos St. Johns) scored 13 points and grabbed five rebounds. Junior Simeon Talley (Columbus/Centennial) rounded out double digit scoring for Bluffton as he contributed 11 points and three steals (team high). Senior Bryce Beilharz (Bluffton/Cory Rawson) led the team with five assists in his final home contest.
The Beavers and Spartans played hard in the first half as they kept the game within four points for the entire period. Two foul shots by Bergman with 16 seconds left would give Bluffton a one point halftime advantage, 33-32. The Beavers scored 15 of their 33 first half points in the period off of Manchester turnovers.
Missed shots by the Spartans and defensive rebounds by Bluffton helped the Beavers
take a six point lead with twelve minutes left in the game. Manchester hit key shots
in the remaining minutes to eventually tie the score and send the contest into overtime
(61-61). The Spartans hit crucial buckets to lead by seven points in the extra period
as Bluffton battled back and kept the contest close. Manchester's Eric Berger hit
a free throw with seven seconds reaming to give the Spartans a five point lead. A
three-pointer by Bergman as time ran out cut Manchester's lead to two points for the
final score of 83-81.
Bluffton University shot 49 percent (30-of-61) from the field to Manchester's 40 percent (23-of-57). The Beavers pulled down 29 rebounds to Manchester's 44 boards. The Spartans committed 21 turnovers compared to Bluffton's 15.
The Bluffton University men's basketball team will be back in action on Feb. 22 as they travel to Manchester College for the first round of the Heartland Conference tournament. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

Bela Okmyx was boss of the Northside Territory, the largest on Sigma Iotia II, a planet whose society was based on Earth's Chicago gangster period. A book (referred to as "The Book") entitled Chicago Mobs of the Twenties was left by the Horizon, a 22nd century Federation ship, and the entire Iotian culture had been formed by this one book.
In 2268, James T. Kirk visited the planet to update its progress. Okmyx offered to cut Kirk in on the action, if Kirk helped him take over the planet by providing him with "heaters". When Kirk refused the request, he and Spock were taken hostage and Okmyx threatened to kill them and have their dead bodies sent back up to the ship if they didn't get him the "heaters" within eight hours. Kirk, however, was able to escape.
Kirk was able to intervene and end the turf war between the bosses when he had the USS Enterprise fire phasers on stun in the surrounding area to demonstrate the power of the "Feds." The mobsters were convinced and agreed to Federation control with Okmyx as the top boss and Jojo Krako, his former rival, as his lieutenant. (TOS: "A Piece of the Action")
Background information Edit
Bela Okmyx was played by actor Anthony Caruso. His surname has appeared in many subsequent texts, including the Star Trek Concordance, The Star Trek Compendium, the Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 2, p. 117), and StarTrek.com as the way it was pronounced throughout the episode: "Oxmyx." The correct spelling, as seen on posters throughout the episode, was in fact "Okmyx."
The "Okmyx" spelling is also found in the "Final Draft" of the shooting script, dated 30 October 1967 – with revised pages dated 31 October 1967. Although pronunciation is provided for other characters in this episode, no such guidance is provided for "Okmyx." The end credits simply credit the character as "Bela."
The character appeared again in an issue of DC Comics' second volume comics series, "... Let's Kill All the Lawyers!", where he revealed at Kirk's trial that the captain's cut of Iotia's "action" was still being skimmed for him. Okmyx also returned Leonard McCoy's communicator (which the doctor had left behind on Iotia), saying that the Iotians didn't do anything with the device and just put it away for safekeeping.
According to the novel The Sorrows of Empire, his mirror universe counterpart was the Governor of Sigma Iotia II, a subject planet of the Terran Empire, in 2277.

Anti-Porn Facebook Page is Deleted, Then Restored 145
Speaking of Facebook pages being unjustly shut down, on Monday the anti-porn Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/PornHarms/, run by the non-profit Morality in Media, was abruptly disabled by Facebook. The page had 35,000 "likes" at the time the plug was pulled. Morality in Media CEO Patrick Trueman, who also ran the Facebook page, says he never received any warning from Facebook before the page was removed.
Some time on Wednesday, the page was restored. I had emailed a contact at Facebook to ask why the page was shut down, and he replied later to say that it had been deleted in error and the page had been restored. (He didn't say whether the page was on track to being restored anyway, or whether it would have remained down indefinitely if I hadn't pinged him.)
Facebook did not respond to inquiries as to why the page was removed, but as Evgeny Morozov
pointed out
regarding political pages (and as many other users have heard from people's
anecdotal experiences having pages pulled without explanation), it's common for pages on Facebook and YouTube
to get removed that were almost certainly not violating those sites' Terms of Service.
If enough users decide to file "abuse complaints" simultaneously against a piece of content
on Facebook or YouTube, this has a good chance of getting the content removed, whether the complaints were legitimate or were simply part of an organized campaign of filing
false complaints.
Meanwhile, I correspond with dozens of people every week on Facebook (usually people who use my proxy sites to get on Facebook at school or work), and about once a week I get an automated message from Facebook that says, "You have been sending harassing messages to other users," and goes on to sternly list the types of messages that violate Facebook's TOS. (Only twice has this resulted in my account actually getting locked, and it was unlocked after I bugged my friend at Facebook about it.)
I figure that these are either the result of users clicking "Report this message" accidentally, or parents hacking into their kids' accounts, reading their messages, and then trying to get the account shut down of the person who was talking their kid about proxy sites. In either case, I assume it's not the result of an "organized campaign," but perhaps your account gets locked if you're unlucky enough that two or three people file complaints within the same short time frame.
So I have no reason to doubt Mr. Trueman's claim that the PornHarms Facebook page never contained any content that violated Facebook's TOS. He says the page mostly contained links to academic research supposedly demonstrating the harmful effects of pornography, and that while the target audience was adult academics, there was nothing in the content that most parents would consider inappropriate for underage viewers. There was certainly no actual pornography on the page, not even in censored form with the fun parts blurred out (although I didn't check every single academic paper linked from the site to see if any of them might have used pixellated/censored porn for illustrative purposes). Trueman also says that they prevented third-party users from posting on the PornHarms page directly, and regularly monitored the page's content to remove any "inappropriate" comments that users had written in response to the officially authorized posts. (Of course, even if the page admins hadn't done this, inappropriate comments should be the basis for penalizing the user who posted them, not the Facebook page that they were posted on, but it was a moot point in this case.)
Because of the word "Pornography" in the title of the page, it's also of course possible that a human at Facebook actually did review the complaints, but thought the word "pornography" meant the page was a porn-trading hub, without looking to closely at it. (It's also possible that the word triggered an automated filter at Facebook. Obviously, there is no filter pre-emptively preventing pages with words like "pornography" in the title from being created, since otherwise the page never could have existed in the first place. But it's possible that an automated algorithm does something like the following: If a page receives X complains within time period Y, and the page contains certain keywords in the title or the content, then shut down the page automatically.)
Previously I'd suggested an algorithm that Facebook could use to stop users from coordinating phony complaints in order to shut a page down. The gist was: If a page receives a sufficient number of complaints, have the page reviewed by a random sample (chosen by Facebook) of Facebook users who had signed up to review abuse cases in situations such as these. If enough of those users vote that the page was violating the TOS, the page gets shut down, but if not, then it stays up. What makes this algorithm difficult to abuse, is that in order for a "coordinated mob" to swing the vote of the jury, they would have to comprise a majority (or a significant minority) of the entire set of users that the randomly-selected jury could have been chosen from -- a difficult task if thousands of people have signed up as content reviewers. I offered a $100 prize to be split between readers who submitted the best suggested improvements or criticisms of the idea; their ideas were summarized in a follow-up article. A couple of readers commented that there was no point in debating the idea since I don't work for Facebook and have no influence there; they have a point, but the idea has to start somewhere. If engineers at Facebook are looking for a way to fix the problem, one thing that can be said about this suggestion is that it was posted to a large audience of smart people, and several readers suggested very clever improvements, while nobody found any obviously fatal flaws in it.
It seems pretty likely that a process like that for reviewing abuse complaints, would have saved the Pornography Harms page from being yanked from Facebook. Anybody who seriously reviewed the page's contents for more than twenty seconds would have understood the page's real purpose and seen that it was not actually distributing pornography or otherwise violating the Facebook TOS. In my experiences posting surveys on sites like Mechanical Turk, where you can pay users a penny apiece for filling out surveys or performing other tasks, I've gotten the impression that people will take such tasks seriously, even for zero (or virtually zero) pay, if they find them interesting. In the case of the Facebook "jurors" who are voting on whether a page violated the TOS, you're talking about users who voluntarily signed up to be jurors, after all -- not underpaid workers grinding through as many tasks as they can squeeze into their working hours.
Finally, it would be easy to point out the irony of a pro-censorship group being censored (and some people did, on the mailing lists where I saw this news announced), but I don't think that's really fair to Morality in Media, since even MIM doesn't oppose people's right to express their opinions in favor of pornography. Likewise, MIM presumably supports the use of Internet blocking programs in schools, even though their Facebook page (as well as the companion website PornHarms.com) would probably be blocked by default by most Internet blockers because of the word "porn" in the URL -- but even that is not as richly ironic as it would seem. Neither Morality in Media, nor almost anyone else, is in favor of political sites about pornography being blocked because of the word "porn" in the address; presumably they'd just want the error corrected by the blocking company, and if a left-wing site on the opposite side of the debate happened to be blocked because of the word "porn" in the URL, I have no reason to think that Morality in Media would be opposed to correcting that error and unblocking that site as well. So this really isn't a case of them being given "a taste of their own medicine."
No, the real irony in this particular case -- at least, if I did have a role in getting their Facebook page restored -- is that not only would I support their right to express their view (duh), I would support students' right to bypass their school's Internet blocker to view the page from school if they had to, and I would even support the right of under-18-year-olds to view the page even if their parents were specifically trying to block them from it. I highly doubt that even anyone at Morality in Media would go that far.

NEW YORK, NY, May 16– The New York Mets have been awarded Major League Baseball's 2013 All-Star Game and will host the 84th Midsummer Classic at Citi Field, Baseball Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig announced today at a press conference at City Hall. Commissioner Selig was joined by the Mayor of New York, the Honorable Michael R. Bloomberg, and New York Mets Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Fred Wilpon.
The 2013 All-Star Game will mark the second time that the Mets, who are commemorating their 50th anniversary in 2012, will host the Midsummer Classic. Shea Stadium hosted the 1964 All-Star Game, a 7-4 National League victory that featured 21 participating Hall of Famers, including Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente, Sandy Koufax, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays and Frank Robinson, as well as MLB's Executive Vice President for Baseball Operations, Joe Torre. It will be the ninth All-Star Game in Baseball history to be played in New York City, which is the most of any host city.
Commissioner Selig said, "As we celebrate the franchise's golden anniversary this year, I am pleased to award the 2013 All-Star Game to the New York Mets and their loyal fans. We are delighted to bring the Midsummer Classic to Citi Field, a wonderful ballpark that has carried on the remarkable National League tradition in New York City. The Mets will be superb hosts to next summer's greatest sporting event."
"Thanks to the efforts of Mayor Bloomberg and Commissioner Selig, it's a great honor for everyone at the Mets to host the 2013 All-Star Game at Citi Field," Wilpon said. "Mets fans and all people in the New York tri-state area and beyond will have the opportunity to take part in the events that Major League Baseball will bring to New York."
"Next year's All-Star Game is going to demonstrate once again that there's no place like New York for world-class sporting events," said Mayor Bloomberg. "Major League Baseball clearly recognizes this, since they're bringing the All-Star Game back to New York for the second time in just five years."
The 84th All-Star Game is tentatively scheduled to be played at Citi Field on Tuesday, July 16, 2013.

AS BRAD HADDIN made his first international appearance in almost a year, his rested successor - Matthew Wade - faced a stinging appraisal of his right to remain Australia's preferred wicketkeeper.
Haddin performed solidly with the bat, scoring 10 not out focusing totally on supporting David Hussey, and also took three catches. The second of the veteran's catches, of top-scorer Dinesh Chandimal for 73 off Clint McKay, was a stunning one-handed effort after diving full-length to his right.
After Wade last week scored a dashing unbeaten Test century against Sri Lanka, Australia's most capped Test wicketkeeper, Ian Healy, predicted a rosy future for him because ''he's got all the skills and the ability so he'll get there'' and that confidence gained from his batting exploits would benefit his glovework. While Healy last week said he was not enamoured with Wade's glovework, describing it as ''a bit tense at the moment'', his support for the Victorian has seemingly waned.
Healy deemed Wade's wicketkeeping over the summer's six Tests so lax that selectors should replace him or habitually select another gloveman on tours as a ''practice partner and someone breathing down his neck who make sure he gets all those [basic] things done''.
''He didn't have a good summer with the gloves at all,'' Healy told Radio Sports National. ''He's not getting to the stumps [after deliveries], not taking returns well, not sharpening up the fielding effort. Even those basic disciplines weren't being created, let alone [considering his] missed dismissals. Nathan Lyon wouldn't have been that happy. There were four or five chances that were missed from his bowling, as he's getting criticised for not taking wickets. They're all internal conflicts of an under-achieving wicketkeeper.''
Wade, Healy said, must ''look at what Brad Haddin is doing and try to find a way to get it done himself''.
In Tests this summer, Wade scored 312 runs at an average of 44.57, claimed 23 dismissals and conceded 28 byes. Last summer Haddin, a decade older than Wade, exceeded Wade's dismissal tally by four, matched him for byes but was outshone with the bat, scoring 186 runs at an average of 31.
Healy last week told Fairfax Media after Wade's SCG innings the left-hander ''has got this ability with the bat, like Adam Gilchrist, to bat with the tail and then explode on his own to get a hundred when there is not much left''. He has since said Gilchrist, who replaced him behind the stumps in the Test team in 1999, was ideal as wicketkeeper because the team he was part of possessed ''a great bowling attack that created more chances than you needed''.
''We haven't got an attack like that now. We've got an attack that if you need 20 wickets in a Test they [bowlers] might create 18, and you need a half chance here or there or a great run-out to get over the line. That's where you don't need a wicketkeeper missing stuff,'' Healy said. ''Right now, Australian cricket in the Test form … needs the best wicketkeeper. We've got to find out who that is - someone who's not making mistakes.''

The Spartan community came together Thursday to help one of its own at Central Davidson High School.
The Spartan community came together Thursday to help one of its own at Central Davidson High School.
An egg hunt took place at lunch time on the football field during the staff developmental day to raise money for a faculty member's family. Chris Motsinger, family consumer science teacher at the school, has a 2-year-old granddaughter, Hannah Jane Motsinger, who is battling cancer.
"I'm very humbled," Motsinger said. "They're such a fantastic group. They do stuff all the time to help others."
Hannah, of High Point, is the daughter of Curt and Molly Motsinger. The family discovered on Feb. 15 that Hannah had a Wilm's tumor on her kidney that was removed three days later. Hannah had to receive seven radiation and 28 chemotherapy treatments.
Nearly 80 staff members took part in the festivities by paying $20 to register. The $1,200 collected will go to Building On Love, which is a nonprofit organization that helps families with medical bills.
Ann Kiefer, another family and consumer science teacher at the school, said with Motsinger working at CDHS for 15 years, the school family wanted to do something to help their fellow coworker.
"We're good friends. The staff just wanted to do something for her. Teachers need to have fun too" Kiefer said. "Her little girl is the same age as my son, so this hit home for me. Chris' heart is so big. She is an inspiration. The little girl is an inspiration, too."
More than 400 colorful plastic Easter eggs were spread on the field for staff members to pick up. Inside the eggs were prizes that range from soda, candy, certificates from local businesses, bake goods, picture frames, purses and other gifts.
There are also upcoming fundraising events next month including a golf tournament on April 13 and a silent auction on April 14. For more information go to www.facebook.com/Holes4Hannah or www.h4hpaintedpurple.eventbrite.com.
Motsinger said Hannah had treatments the morning of the egg hunt.
"She is doing very well considering what she's going through," Motsinger said. "The hardest part is watching her be in pain. She still has that wonderful smile."

Embarrassing vote confessional threadComments
Everybody makes mistakes. Maybe you signed your best friend's high school yearbook with Teddy R's In the Arena speech, or bought the Knack's first album on eight track, or married a charming sociopath with a drug problem, or ordered the invasion of a Middle Eastern country on the basis of a pack of transparent lies. Hey that's why pencils have erasers . . .
Anyway almost everyone has at least one vote they've cast that is similarly cringe-worthy. I'll start:
1980 presidential election. My college roommate voted for Barry Commoner (he is now a subscriber to the National Review). I voted for Ed Clark. What can I say, I was young and stupid. I'm glad to report I'm no longer young.

"I know this has been neglected, you may do a head scan, but this is assessing how the kid's thinking is affected in terms of trying to detect the milder head injuries that we know now are very serious," said Myra Hurt with the FSU College of Medicine.
They're doing a trial with hundreds of athletes from the Tallahassee area and the Orlando area. The research has been going on for two years. Hart says they'll release data in the next few months.

WAVERLY TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) – The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has released about 18,500 young lake sturgeon into several inland lakes in the northern Lower Peninsula, the agency announced Tuesday.
The sturgeon released Monday were raised at a facility on the Black River in Cheboygan County, the DNR said. The site is in Waverly Township, 35 miles southeast of Mackinaw City.
The sturgeon-rearing facility is a joint effort of the DNR, the Black Lake Chapter of Sturgeon for Tomorrow, Michigan State University and Tower-Kleber Limited Partnership.
Each spring, staffers collect and fertilize eggs and milt from adult sturgeon returning to the Black River.
"Survival of the eggs and fry exceeded expectations this year," said DNR fisheries supervisor Dave Borgeson. "Because the Black River location is a small streamside facility, it is not able to accommodate the large number of fry we had on hand. We stocked these young fish in appropriate locations that help us achieve our management goals of rehabilitating lake sturgeon populations in these waters."
Sturgeon can grow to 8 feet, weigh 200 pounds and live 150 years. They once were abundant in the Great Lakes region and are the subject of decades-long restoration efforts.
Locations stocked Monday include the Sturgeon River, a Burt Lake tributary; the Pigeon River, a Mullett Lake tributary; the Maple River, a Burt Lake tributary; and Otsego Lake.

"You've been looking for" reads better to me. You could use it either way.
Student or Learner
Dear all,
Please look at the following advertisement.
"Is your construction company trying to expand? Do you find it hard to compete with other businesses because your equipment is old and inefficient? Then XYZ company has the products you've been looking for. We've designed a sleek..."
Is it wrong if the sentence in bold is "Then XYZ company has the products you're looking for"?
It seems to me both can be fine...
THank you!
"You've been looking for" reads better to me. You could use it either way.
Interesting. I would say that "You're looking for" sounds better. The rest of the piece is in the present tense - "Are you trying to expand?", "Do you find it difficult to compete?" etc, so I think continuing with the present tense sounds more natural. I would have put "the products you've been looking for" with "Have you been trying to expand?", "Have you had difficulty competing?"
As SoothingDave said though, you can use either one.
Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.
Maybe it's just me, but I read "you've been looking for" as the end of a long (and unfruitful so far) search for new machines. To me, "you're looking for" sort of reads as a much shorter period of time trying to find something, at least in this particular case. But then I may be completely wrong... or not; it's marketing at work here, after all!
Please be aware that I'm neither a native English speaker nor a teacher.

GETTYSBURG, Pa. — Director Steven Spielberg expressed a sense of humility Monday as he delivered the keynote address during ceremonies to mark the 149th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's ''Gettysburg Address.''
''I've never stood anyplace on earth where it's easier to be humbled than here,'' said Spielberg, whose biopic about the 16th president is currently in theaters.
His remarks were made at the annual event at the Soldiers National Cemetery in Gettysburg, near the site where Lincoln gave the famous oration amid the American Civil War in 1863, four months after the battle in which the Union turned back an invasion of the North by Confederate troops under General Robert E. Lee.
About 9,000 people attended the ceremony, which included a reenactment of the speech. As part of the event, 16 new Americans from 11 different countries took the oath of allegiance to become US citizens.
Spielberg, who spent seven years working on his new movie ''Lincoln,'' said that the president came to feel like one of his oldest and dearest friends during the process, and that he sensed he was living in the presence of what he called Lincoln's ''eloquent ghost.''
''Lincoln wanted us to understand that equality was a small 'D' democratic essential,'' Spielberg said, describing Lincoln's three-minute speech as ''his best and truest voice'' and the single ''most perfect prose poem ever penned by an American.''
Carl Sandberg, in his biography of Lincoln, described it as a speech about how democracy is worth fighting for.
Spielberg spoke Monday of the interplay between history and memory, and between memory and justice.
''It's the hunger we feel for coherence, it's the hunger we feel for progress for a better world,'' he said.
''I think justice and memory are inseparable.''
The crowd gave him a standing ovation.

The push to rehabilitate the name of the late Gov. OTTO KERNER got some help from a daylong conference in Springfield, and from a late president known for Watergate.
Kerner, a Democrat who was Illinois governor from 1961 to 1968, was convicted in a federal corruption case in 1973, when he was a federal appeals court judge. Central to the case against him was his purchase, while governor, of racetrack stock, even as the state regulated horse racing.
Kerner exercised an option late in his time as governor to buy stock for $1,000 a share and then sold the stock for several times that amount. According to a 1974 appellate court ruling upholding some convictions, the result was that he spent $15,079 and gained $159,800 from stock sales and dividends.
Kerner was sentenced to three years in prison and a $50,000 fine. Cancer discovered during his imprisonment led to his early release, and once out, he crusaded for prison reform. He died May 9, 1976.
On Nov. 2, the Governor�s Conference on Otto Kerner at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library in Springfield featured discussions about Kerner�s accomplishments in public life, remembrances from reporters who covered him, and a critical look at the prosecution involving then-U.S. Attorney JIM THOMPSON, who later became governor.
Among panelists were ANTON KERNER of Chicago and HELENA KERNER STERN of Jacksonville, Fla. Both were adopted by the governor after the death in a 1953 car accident in Wisconsin of their mother, MARY ALYCE KERNER, who was a daughter of Gov. Kerner�s wife, HELENA, by a previous marriage.
Anton Kerner highlighted an Oval Office discussion from May 28, 1971, involving then-President RICHARD NIXON and then-Attorney General JOHN MITCHELL. In discussing then-Chicago Mayor RICHARD J. DALEY �and his people,� Nixon also mentions Kerner. Watch video of the discussion here.
�I�d like to see you get him,� Nixon says.
�Yeah, I would too, for a number of reasons,� Mitchell says, describing Kerner as among the �bastards� on the �political court out there in the 7th Circuit.�
�Is that right?� Nixon asked.
�Oh, they�ve just killed us,� Mitchell says. Among things he complained about was that Kerner had spoken recently about the �Kerner commission� report �when he should be keeping his damn mouth shut as a judge.�
Kerner, as governor, was named by President LYNDON JOHNSON to chair the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders � known as the Kerner commission � to investigate inner-city violence in the 1960s.
Anton Kerner says Nixon was an early critic of the report because it cast blame on white America and racist policies for violence erupting from poor conditions in urban ghettoes populated largely by minorities.
Mitchell�s talk of the �political court� and a �Chicago conspiracy trial� apparently referred to anti-prosecution decisions by judges such as Kerner in the cases of people accused of inciting riots at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
The Watergate scandal led Nixon to resign and Mitchell to serve 19 months in prison.
At the Springfield conference, Anton Kerner said his father believed Nixon was responsible for the prosecution. And TOM PATTON, who was on Otto Kerner�s defense team, said the Oval Office discussion was three weeks before the grand jury that indicted Gov. Kerner was convened.
While a jury convicted Kerner of all 17 counts against him originally, the district judge dismissed five counts, including mail fraud and bribery, after the verdict. An appellate court dismissed three more bribery counts. Remaining convictions included mail fraud, tax evasion, conspiracy and making false statements.
However, the law that public officials can�t deprive people of �honest services� that was used against Kerner was found to be unconstitutionally vague in 1987 by the U.S. Supreme Court. While Congress later refined the law, Patton believes Kerner ultimately would have had his convictions overturned had he lived.
Patton criticized other counts, including one for tax evasion he said came because authorities thought stock-sale income Kerner reported as capital gains was a bribe and should have been reported as regular income. Patton says there was no bribery and there was a solid, legal paper trail.
Thompson was not at the event, but he has been interviewed about the Kerner prosecution by MARK DePUE, director of oral history at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library.
Kerner �was a terrible witness,� and was �arrogant� and �hostile,� Thompson said in a recording. Thompson also said that while Kerner testified that he never interfered or gave orders on racing dates, �we had other evidence to the contrary� including �testimony of two of the racing commissioners that he had � ordered them to change racing dates.� Thompson also said Kerner said he never met with a certain official to discuss dates, �when the truth was found in his diary that he had.�
Also in DePue�s interview, Thompson denies any knowledge of influence from Nixon.
�I never saw or heard of any evidence that suggested that this was a personal priority of the president,� said Thompson. �The investigation that led to the indictment of Kerner was begun and carried out by career prosecutors � who had no ax to grind.�
Author BILL BARNHART found the Nixon-Mitchell conversation at the National Archives in College Park, Md., as he was researching a 2010 book he and former state Rep. GENE SCHLICKMAN wrote about a former U.S. Supreme Court justice from Illinois. That 2010 book is �JOHN PAUL STEVENS: An Independent Life.� They also wrote the 1999 book, �Kerner: The Conflict of Intangible Rights,� in which they said Kerner�s convictions �almost certainly� would have been overturned.
When he heard the Nixon-Mitchell tape, Barnhart told me, �I was amazed and disappointed we didn�t have it in the Kerner book.� While not evidence that Kerner�s prosecution was ordered, he said, the comments were �explosive.�
The Nov. 2 conference also discussed such things as Kerner�s improvement of state mental health facilities, his push for open housing and his work to bring the massive Fermilab science campus to northern Illinois. Also discussed was the rebuilding of the Old State Capitol under Kerner�s watch. Kerner was named The State Journal-Register�s First Citizen in 1966 in part due to that project, and WALLY HENDERSON, the architect on the project and current First Citizen, spoke about it at the conference.
NATHANIEL JONES, a former U.S. appellate judge who served as assistant general counsel to the Kerner commission, spoke of Kerner�s leadership, including the use of walking tours in ghettos to find out the real story of erupting urban violence.
DePue said the Nov. 2 conference surely gave attendees �a higher opinion about Kerner because of the things that got accomplished during his administration.�
He said he thinks Kerner�s son �swayed a lot of people to believe that Kerner was unfairly prosecuted.� But, DePue said, there wasn�t a clear champion of the prosecution side at the conference.
When being interviewed, DePue added, Thompson has been �unequivocal� that Kerner had been properly charged.

February 6, 2013
Tallahassee, FL - FAMU is still in the process of filling several key positions on campus.
Having a new band director in place at FAMU is just one of the things that Interim President Dr. Larry Robinson says has to be in place before the Marching 100 can come off suspension.
FAMU student Alain Alexandre says he hopes the band comes back soon. "I feel like the school lost a lot of school spirit. The spirit that only the band can bring."
The band was suspended and Band Director Dr. Julian White resigned after the November 2011 hazing death of drum major Robert Champion.
Administrators have officially reopened the search for a new band director after not being able to negotiate with candidate Jorim Reid from North Carolina Central University in January.
Assistant Marching 100 director Dr. Shelby Chipman's application is still in the pool.
Interim Provost and chairman of the Band Director Search Committee Rodner Wright says, "It really requires the care that we put in all of our faculty searches. Until such time as we find the ideal candidate, then we will continue to search."
The deadline for the band director position is March 1st.
Administrators are working to find a university president.
The chairman of the FAMU Board of Trustees, Solomon Badger, says, "We're looking for a person who has hopefully experience in leadership, experience in budgeting, and one who can wrap his arms around the whole FAMU community."
Badger says they hope to have a few strong candidates by the end of March and a university president in place by the beginning of the Fall semester.
The university has also reopened its search for a campus police chief. Former chief Calvin Ross retired last May.
Administrators say the goal is to have the police chief search completed by April.
FAMU Release: FAMU Reopens National Search for a New Director of Marching and Pep Bands
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida A&M University (FAMU) continues its national search for a new Director of Marching and Pep Bands. The position has been reopened and the deadline to apply is March 1, 2013.
The university started the process in June 2012 by posting an advertisement on its website to solicit candidates for the position. Since then, the job description has been posted in the Chronicle of Higher Education and Diverse Issues in Higher Education. The university's goal is to hire a new band director before the end of the spring 2013 semester, said Interim President Larry Robinson. The new Director of Marching and Pep Bands will play a lead role in implementing new policies and procedures that are critical to the future of the Marching "100," which has been suspended for the 2012-13 academic year.
Interim Provost Rodner Wright will continue to serve as chairman of the search committee, which consists of 13 members and include faculty, staff, students and alumni.
"We want an individual with outstanding experience in band management, the proven ability to educate and inspire students to excel in the classroom and in the traditions of FAMU's renowned performance style, and the capacity to lead and mentor faculty, staff and other colleagues," said Robinson. "We desire someone with unrelenting commitment to our core values, and unwavering resolve to eliminate hazing from the band and FAMU. The ideal candidate would have the ability to promote the values of respect and dignity among all members of the Marching "100."
The new director will report to the chairman of the FAMU Department of Music. That is a change from the previous director, who also served as department chairman. Robinson explained that would add an extra layer of supervision. Qualifications should include a terminal degree in music and experience teaching and conducting at the collegiate level. It will be a full-time, tenure-track position and the academic rank will be commensurate with the person's experience and expertise.
The new director will oversee all aspects of the marching and pep bands. Specific duties and responsibilities include overseeing all activities of band student organizations and ensembles; providing creative direction; recruiting students for membership; teaching the marching band courses and other courses as needed; planning and directing the summer high school band camp; fund raising; planning and executing the band's travel to athletics events and other events that have been approved by the University and functioning as the liaison between the Athletics Department, the Division of Student Affairs and the Department of Music.
The director will work closely with the Department of Music Compliance Officer, a newly created position. Together, they will ensure that staff and members of the Marching and Pep Bands are made aware of and comply with the University's policies and procedures regarding anti-hazing, academic requirements, rehearsal hours and travel.
