Wolves coach Nuno Espirito Santo was proud of the character his team displayed coming from behind to secure a deserved 1-1 draw at Manchester United on Saturday.
United went into the match on the back of three successive wins in all competitions and, although Wolves started significantly brighter than their hosts, Fred gave Jose Mourinho's men an 18th-minute lead.
It did not last, however, as Joao Moutinho levelled with a fine strike just after the interval, and that proved to be enough to earn a point.
Mourinho was scathing of his team's attitude in response to their performance, saying Wolves played with the desire he wished United had.
Nuno was similarly impressed with Wolves' mentality, which filled him with pride.
Fantastic performance. Fantastic point.— Wolves (@Wolves) September 22, 2018
"I'm proud of the way we started the game, proud of the character that we showed after when we were losing," he said.
"I'm also proud of the way that we played, the way that we defended, organised, putting bodies in front of the ball and the way that we created our chance [to score]. We played the way we wanted to play."
But Nuno is not about to let Wolves enjoy the result too much, targeting further improvement in future.
"It is not easy to come to Old Trafford. It is a fantastic club, fantastic players, fantastic manager," he added.
"We did it, let's improve, let's get better, so we can improve every week like this, this is the goal that we want to achieve."

Ohio a und 1 5 lefit school art programs The fine arts in the Amherst schools will be getting help in the future from a new endowment fund. Assistant superintendent Timothy Logar said die Amherst Schools Fine Arts Endowment Fund was established in response to a challenge grant last fall from the Stocker Foundation of Lorain to all Lorain County school districts to establish fine arts endowment funds. The Stocker Foundation agreed to match monies raised by the funds dollar for dollar, up to $5,000 per year for five years. At the Nov. 23 school board meeting, the board of education approved trustees and officers for the fund. Those trustees will select four students who will help in selecting grant recipients, although the students will not be voting members. Logar said the schools originally wanted to put the money into its existing Amherst Schools Endowment Fund, but the foundation said the ' money had to be a separate fine arts fund. The money will be used to enhance fine arts programs throughout the school system, from kindergarten through high school. Logar listed costumes for a drama production, instruments needed for music groups, or special supplies needed foil an art class, and others as examples of possible grant requests. "Grant requests are only limited by the imagination and creativity of the teacher," Logar said. "It could even be used by a regular classroom teacher who wanted to do something with music in her class. Anything that is going to benefit students in fine arts programs is eligible." Logar said the fund currently has about $11,000, including $5,000 raised this year for the matching grant of $5,000, plus about $1,000 in appreciation of the assets over the past year. But he said the board of trustees will likely let that pot grow for a while before doling out any money. "We're not anticipating the trustees will be accepting grant applications for the first two or three years," Logar said. "They'll probably want to build up the principle a little first." Please, Santa, please! Above, this Amherst boy sprouts some reindeer antlers in the hope Santa will grant him his Christmas wish. He was one of an estimated 200 children who showed up at the city's Dec. 11 Christmas tree lighting ceremonies. At right, a young family gets ready for the festivities. f>0 cents Top cop's leaving job again South Amherst village officials will wait until January to seek a replacement for police chief David L. Hicks, who resigned without warning Nov. 23 after serving less than two yean. The village council officially accepted Hicks's resignation at its Dec. 7 meeting but is not expected to initiate search efforts for a replacement until it returns from a holiday recess Jan. 11, according to mayor Chester Arcaba. Lieutenant Gene Ptacek, a four- year veteran, will serve as acting chief until Hicks's replacement is named and begins work. Hicks, 62, gave village officials no indication he had been considering retiring from law enforcement for several weeks. He joined the small police force 19 months ago after retiring as a Cleveland homicide detective. "He really didn't give us much warning about what was on his mind, so this was a surprise given the short time he's been with us," Arcaba said. "He indicated that at this point in his life he didn't wish to continue in law enforcement" Hicks verbally announced his resignation during a Nov. 23 private meeting with Aracba, but was asked by the mayor to "think it over" for a few days. Two days later, the mayor said Hicks reconfirmed his decision during a lengthy phone conversation with him. Arcaba said he and council thought Hicks was doing a good job and wanted to try to work things out. "We told him he'd be missed and asked him to reconsider, but he said he'd been thinking about this for a long time," Arcaba said. "So, that was that There was little more anybody could say." Ptacek was named acting chief Thanksgiving morning. During the holiday break, Arcaba said members of the village safety committee may "do some thinking" about the steps council will take once it reconvenes in January. Hicks is the third police chief to resign since the late Thomas J. Snizek retired in 1993 after serving the village 41 years. Snizek died of cancer the same year and was replaced by Roy Var- ner, another former Cleveland policeman, who resigned after several months. He was replaced by Norwalk police officer Dolores Conklin, ■ who quit in 19% and was replaced by Hicks in April 1997. Upcoming holiday concerts feature student perfomers Students at Marion L.

One Direction to Perform on 'Saturday Night Live,' Collaborate With Big Time Rush + Justin Bieber
As if the latest incarnation of the British Invasion weren't at a fever pitch already. One Direction are taking the U.S. by storm once more: with a gig on 'Saturday Night Live' and a potential project with none other than –wait for it — Justin Bieber!
One Direction will take the 'SNL' stage on April 7 with host Sofia Vergara. Even more exciting is the news of a potential collaboration with Bieber. Seriously, we're pretty sure half the teen girls in America spontaneously combusted just reading that.
STV reports that Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, sparked the talks of a project with the Canadian pop prince. When a fan asked Braun about Bieber working with the adorable Brits, Braun replied, "Very possible. He likes them and thinks they are good dudes."
Bieber isn't the only pop sensation eager to work with the 'X Factor U.K.' alumni. Tour mates Big Time Rush also have something planned with the 'One Thing' singers. BTR member Carlos Pena dished, "There's gonna be a special video coming out with us and 1D. I'm not sure if you saw the 'Call Me Maybe' video, but we're making one with a special song that I can't tell you about, but it's gonna be us and them," he said. "It's gonna be pretty crazy."
In other happy One Direction news, Zayn Malik has returned to their tour, making his first red — er, orange — carpet appearance this weekend at the premiere of Big Time Rush's 'Big Time Movie.' Malik left the U.S. leg temporarily to go back to the U.K. to be with his family following the death of his aunt. We're happy to have you back, Zayn!

I understand the frustration people feel about the recent Tuscaloosa City Board of Education race in which University of Alabama students turned out en masse to vote in an election they most likely know nothing about. It demonstrates exactly why this country's founders created a republic and not a democracy.
I understand the frustration people feel about the recent Tuscaloosa City Board of Education race in which University of Alabama students turned out en masse to vote in an election they most likely know nothing about. It demonstrates exactly why this country's founders created a republic and not a democracy.
Like it or not, the Founding Fathers never intended for this country to have universal suffrage. Forget the fact that voting was limited to white males for a moment. The founders in no way intended for all white males to vote. It's pretty clear that they intended for property ownership to be a prerequisite for citizenship.
The idea was for citizens to have some stake in the country. A person with no stake might simply decide to vote in favor of a candidate who promised to redistribute the public treasury to the people who voted for him.
That money, of course, would originate with those who did have property. It would eventually become a vicious circle of people voting to pay themselves more and more from the public treasury and the politicians they elected would take more and more from the people who had the money.
It does have a familiar ring.
The students who flocked to the polls are probably mostly from affluent families and don't have any designs on electing school board members who will divert school funds to the voters. It's suspected that most of them went to the polls and voted because their fraternity and sorority leadership told them to.
For people who are actually interested in city schools and improving education for their children, that is frustrating. Why should a group of disinterested voters get to trudge into the polls motivated by nothing more than marching orders and thwart the will of people with children in the school system and owners of property, the value of which is determined largely by the school board's actions?
And most of the engaged and interested voters find it shocking how easily students became eligible to vote in the city election. They seem able to secure any old address in the district and become a voter.
It might be a little easier to stomach if the bloc voting students really cared enough to get off their pampered behinds and go to the polls. They could at least put out the effort to get in their cars and drive, or maybe even walk or take a city bus. Instead, they're carried to the polls in a limousine, trucked there like high-priced cattle to mindlessly make their mark beside the name of one of two candidates they know little or nothing about. It was probably the money that came from those political action committees receiving donations from some company in Delaware that paid for the limo, too.
The kicker is that some of them were offered free drinks if they went to the polls. It's little more than shameless vote buying. It's the kind of thing you just don't stand for because it can undermine democratic elections and representative government.
So, are we really going to sit here and pretend that there's anything new about this, at all? We've had voters basically handing over a proxy to groups like the Alabama New South Coalition, the Alabama Education Association, the Alabama Democratic Conference and even labor unions for years. They get their marching orders and they go into the polls and vote.
The voters are so disinterested and disengaged that they need color-coded sample ballots to figure out who they're going to vote for. It makes voting easy so they don't have to be informed about individual candidates. They figure out with which group they're going to cast their lot and then learn the color of that group's sample ballots. They get that group's color-coded ballot, go into the polls and mark the names corresponding to the names on the color-coded sample ballot.
It's not like many of these voters are super-motivated to get to the polls. That's why no Alabama election would be complete without a fleet of passenger vans. It might lack the panache of a limousine, but it gets the job done. Candidates usually pay affiliates of one of the color-coded-ballot groups a "get-out-the-vote fee" to help defray the vans' cost.
And if you don't think people have ever been offered a drink or some other inducement in exchange for getting in one of those passenger vans, you're sadly mistaken.
There have been calls on the University of Alabama to crack down on students and tell them not to interfere with city elections they have no stake in. There have been calls on the city and board of registrars to make sure that people meet residency requirements.
It's best to be careful about what you demand. These days when you advocate common-sense measures like requiring someone to show a picture identification at the polls to prove they are who they say they are and that they actually live in the jurisdiction where they are voting, you get accused of "voter suppression." That's because voter fraud doesn't really exist, now does it?

"Hallelujah!"cried former Kershaw County Board of School Trustees member Carol Thompson at a ribbon cutting at North Central Middle School's (NCMS) new health and wellness center dedication Thursday evening.
I really applaud the Kershaw County Board of School Trustees for taking the initiative to get its school faculty and staff registered to vote and informed about the issues affecting public K-12 education.
The Kershaw County Board of School Trustees voted to update language to four policies affecting the board itself at its meeting Tuesday at Baron DeKalb Elementary School. The board also agreed to amend one of the four policies presented to them at its Aug. 20 meeting. The hope is that the updated policies will increase the Kershaw County School District's (KCSD) chances of receiving a higher score on an Oct. 6 accreditation visit by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
A Lugoff juvenile suffering from alcohol poisoning was taken to the KershawHealth Saturday.
Deputies pulled a man over for speeding and realized he was under the influence while escorting two female passengers and two children.
Despite a rainy summer, the Kershaw County School District (KCSD) was able to make progress in completing some of their deferred maintenance projects.
A record number of visitors walked through the doors of the Camden Archives and Museum during the city of Camden's 2012-13 fiscal year. During a Camden City Council work session Thursday afternoon, Archives Director Katherine Richardson said in Fiscal Year 2013, 7,401 people visited the archives, an increase of more than 1,500 visitors from 2011-12.
With three 20-somethings in the office, dating comes up a lot.
KershawHealth will conduct an internal investigation to determine if a PC technician arrested August 23 for inappropriately texting a 14-year-old Kershaw County teen used any KershawHealth assets "as part of acts similar to what he has been charged with," KershawHealth Vice President of Marketing and Community Development Joseph Bruce said in an email.
A Johnsonville man arrested in 2012 for sexually assaulting an 8-year-old, and allegedly plotting to have the victim and her family killed, pleaded guilty under a negotiated plea deal on Monday.
A Lugoff man employed by KershawHealth is in jail in Darlington County after allegedly texting a Kershaw County teen about sex.
Two men allegedly ran over a Bethune man with a van and then stole the victim's moped, according to information from the Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO). The victim later died of his injuries.
One of this year's most important goals for the Kershaw County School District (KCSD) is to determine how effective technology is on student achievement. It is one on a list of "ambitious" goals the Kershaw County Board of School Trustees adopted during the previous school year.
I love music, and, like most other areas in my life, the "more unique" the better.
North Central High School (NCHS) gave a special welcome to its freshman this year.

Roy Halladay returns to mound for final tuneup as Phillies beat Blue Jays 7-2
CLEARWATER, Fla. – Roy Halladay allowed two runs over 4 1-3 innings in his first big league spring training appearance in 11 days, prepping for the regular season in the Philadelphia Phillies' 7-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner had not pitched in a major league game since March 17, when he came out of a start against Baltimore after one inning due to a stomach virus. He pitched in a minor league exhibition last Saturday.
Against the Blue Jays, he gave up eight hits and two walks and struck out two. Edwin Encarnacion and Adam Lind hit consecutive RBI singles in the third.
Toronto starter Brandon Morrow gave up three runs — two earned — and six hits in seven innings.

So I'm thinking about feeding my dogs some raw to give them a little more out of their meals.
Would it be okay to do a morning meal of kibble and an evening meal of raw? I know the two should not be mixed together. I'm just not entirely sure I want to make the plunge. Some people say you can just feed raw, no supplements added, other people feed a bunch of extra things... I've fed my cat raw before, it was pretty simple I bought turkey legs, turkey necks, ground turkey, and turkey hearts and pulled all of the meat/tendons and ground them together and made patties which I froze and fed to my cat twice a day for a while[with some added taurine and a multivitamin] . I'm just not sure I want to make the entire switch to raw, I want to see how cost effective it is for me initially, and then maybe go all the way as I have three dogs to feed. So is it okay to split meals like this?

Location, Location, Location: Officers Knew Where to Look for Robber
September 24th, 2012 by milwaukeepolice
There is community-oriented policing, and there's team policing. Milwaukee Police District 5 officers are a great example of what makes a successful police team.
On September 6, 2012, at about 8:30 p.m., District 5 Lt. Heather Wurth, along with Police Officers Michael Walker and Chauncey Harris responded to a report of an armed robbery in the 3100 block of N. 13th Street. The caller and victim reported that she was at a store at N. 12th Street and W. Chambers and the suspects, who were originally inside the store, appeared suspicous to her and she took note of their appearances, including a distinct tattoo on the face of one of the suspects and shoulder length dreadlocks. As the victim and her husband were walking home, she realized the suspects had followed them to the area of N. 13th Street and W. Burleigh, where two of the three suspects pointed firearms at them and robbed them.
The Lt. and her officers were on scene within two minutes of dispatch and were able to immediately obtain and broadcast a description of the suspects involved in this robbery. The female victim was able to provide a detailed description of one suspect, including the distinct facial tattoo.
Police Officers Louis Kopesky and Brendon Dolan responded to the area to saturate for the suspects. Both Officer Kopesky and Officer Dolan recalled that a previous armed robbery suspect lived in the immediate area and they drove to that area. They observed this suspect inside a vehicle and conducted a traffic stop of the auto. Based on the exact clothing, physical appearance and distinctive tattoo, the suspect was taken into custody. Although a weapon was not recovered at the time of the stop, the suspect had the exact denominations of US currency taken from the victim. It should also be noted that the suspect, at the time of his arrest, was on extended supervision for armed robbery and had an outstanding warrant in Sheboygan.
All the officers should be commended for their immediate response to a violent crime and the awareness of violent offenders living within a specific location. Together, the officers were able to apprehend a felon immediately following the commission of a crime. Their efforts are making a significant impact on reducing the crime, fear, and disorder within District 5 and we applaud their hard work and dedication.

ATS Missions Projects
Light and Life: To The West Bank
The Palestinian people of the West Bank, counted among the world's least reached peoples, have lived in a sea of political and economic turmoil for decades. While many doors for the gospel in this region seem to be closed, the very hardships which the Palestinians face can present opportunities for demonstrating the love of Christ, as well as an open door for the gospel.

I was born the youngest of seven children. This was in the 1960s when large families were not uncommon. Though we struggled financially, we always had pets. More specifically, we had a family dog, and I had mice, turtles, and a bird (cats, rabbits, gerbils, and guinea pigs would come later). My mom knew I had a passion for animals, and in spite of my family's financial situation, she always supported my love for animals by allowing me to have pets and taking me to the zoo as often as we could manage.
Shortly before my ninth birthday, my dad died. It was sudden and unexpected, and it put our family on a completely different path. Wherever we were headed before, we weren't heading that way anymore. I was young, but I understood what had happened. I knew my father was dead. I had a concept of heaven from church—I attended Sunday school each week and went to vacation Bible school during the summer. I felt confident that my dad was in heaven.
But what I wanted to know was, do animals go to heaven too? During that time period in my family's life, while staying over my aunt and uncle's house, my young brain was trying to sort out what I believed and what I still questioned, so I asked my aunt, "Do animals go to heaven?" Her reply was, "No, they don't." I adored my aunt. I admired her, and I respected her. But her response broke my heart and called into question my young faith. I told her how I felt about it. "If animals don't go to heaven," I said, "then I don't want to go there either."
Flash forward several years, and as a teen I started reading books of a metaphysical nature, like Richard Bach's Illusions. My mom and I had the same taste in spiritual material, but though she was aware of Edgar Cayce, I didn't find out about him until my mid-20s when, under synchronistic circumstances, I ended up working at A.R.E. in the Membership Department. It was 1988 when I first read There Is a River, and that's when my spiritual studies really began to take off.
At the same time, I had become a volunteer at the local zoo that my family had visited for all those years of my childhood. My love for animals would always be a part of my nature, and no matter what I read or studied, in the back of my mind were my aunt's words and my desire to prove them wrong, because I wanted heaven, but I wanted the animals too.
Back in the 1980s, the Cayce readings were not yet in electronic form. If you wanted to research the readings, you had to either read books and other materials by authors who had done the research and published their works, or you had to physically go to A.R.E.'s library and look them up directly. There were no published works on Edgar Cayce and animals that I could find. It was only natural that I began to research what the Cayce readings had to say about animals. I wanted to know everything. What was their nature? Did they have souls? And, of course, did they live on beyond death? My research started at the beginning with this reading:
Spirit pushed into matter—and became what we see in our three-dimensional world as the kingdoms of the earth; the mineral, the vegetable, the animal—a three-dimensional world.
-- Edgar Cayce reading 262-114
This reminded me of the creation verses in Genesis but with an added depth. Seeing the animals as a spiritual kingdom and an expression of spirit as it had "pushed into matter" was an interesting concept for me. I wanted to understand this better, and I also needed to know what was meant by kingdom, so my research continued. I found more with this reading:
In the material world, where we find expressions of the physical and of the spiritual, we find Mind. Yet what is known as the Group Mind—or that of the plant kingdom, the mineral kingdom and the animal kingdom...returns (as its Destiny) to the Creative Force which is its author, its maker. MAN—the free will agent...makes his Destiny as to whether his Mind...is one with or in opposition to the Creative Forces.
-- Edgar Cayce reading 262-80
This concept of a Group Mind sounded to me like what we call animal instinct. I did not feel that this meant animals could not also be individuals, but rather I was reminded that animals are full of innocence. As this reading seems to indicate, that's because animals are always in accord with the Creative Forces. Whereas humans—with free will—can act in "destructive" ways that are against the Creative Forces, this reading seemed to be saying that animals cannot.
Elephants at Amboseli national park against
Mount Kilimanjaro Source: Wikipedia
Animals are living in accord with natural law, or the Creative Forces; that is, unless they are under the influence of a human's free will. And yes, a human can teach a dog not to pee in the house, and yes, a human can teach an elephant to perform in a circus, but these are unnatural behaviors brought on by the force of a human's free will (for better or for worse) and not in accord with the animals' Group Mind (i.e., instinct or natural nature).
Because of humans' free will, which can be used constructively or destructively, animals are dependent upon us for their wellbeing. As was stated in the book of Genesis, we have dominion over animals and the earth. But since we have free will, it is our choice of how we wield it—for ill or for good, in discord or in accord with the Creative Forces.

Some sportswriters say that he was the best manager in the history of the Mexican baseball leagues. Old time Pirate fans remember Oceak as the first man to shake the hand of Bill Mazeroski as the rounded third base to complete his walk off home run trot to defeat the powerful New York Yankees in the 1960 World Series. Others, may remember him as the crewcut, gray-haired skipper of the Dublin Irish minor league team way back in 1953.
Frank John Oceak was the most famous person ever born in Pocahontas, Virginia. He was certainly the most famous man to ever hit and throw a baseball from that coal mining town of western Virginia. In 1920, at the age of eight, Frank moved with his family to Cliffside Park, N.J., where he graduated from high school during the height of the great depression in 1931. With little or no decent paying jobs anywhere to be found, Frank Oceak turned to what he loved best - baseball.
The New York Yankees signed Frank to a contract, assigning him to their Cumberland, Maryland team in the Middle Atlantic League. From Cumberland, Frank would play for teams in far away places such as Wheeling, Binghamton, Akron, Norfolk, Beaver Falls, Oil City, Hornell, Lafayette, Fayette, Selma and Keokuk.
Oceak was a decent infielder, leading the Middle Atlantic in fielding for four years, playing both sides of the keystone combo. A fine batting average of .297 was not enough to warrant a promotion beyond the AA level of the minors. In 1936, Frank left the Yankees and joined the St. Louis Browns' farm system. Two years later, the owner of the Lafayette White Sox hired Frank to lead the team in the 1938 season. The Sox went 69-69, not a bad start to a managerial career. In the following season, Frank's Fayetteville Angels finished atop the Arkansas-Missouri League. His Beaver-Falls team lost in the finals of the 1940 Penn State League tournament.
The year 1942 was the turning point on Frank's career. Banned for all of 1941 by Commissioner Kennesaw Mountain Landis for assaulting an umpire, Frank joined the Pittsburgh Pirates organization, a move that would result in more than three decades of an association with the team, except for a brief stint in the armed forces in the last years of World War II and one year with the Reds.
After the war, Frank returned to the managerial reins in Selma, Alabama. After four mediocre seasons, Oceak got the best job of his early career as manager of the Charleston Rebels of the South Atlantic League. On the heels of a poor start to the 1953 season, Frank was demoted to an assignment as the manager of the Class D Dublin Irish of the Georgia State League.
Oceak replaced Johnny George, whose team was two games under .500, on June 18. Leading the Irish that year was Parnell Ruark, one of the franchise's best players ever. Pitching for the 1953 Irish was young Walker "Bo" Whaley, a future Courier Herald columnist. After a 20 and 49-season and a 7th place finish, Oceak's career in Dublin ended on a less than stellar note. Nevertheless, Oceak was promoted to the Brunswick, Georgia team in the Georgia-Florida League.
In his first two seasons in the Shrimp Capital of the World, Oceak's Pirates finished in first place. After disappointing 7th place finishes in Brunswick in 1956 and AAA Columbus in 1957, it appeared that Frank's career as a manager was all but over.
But hold up for a moment. In the 1956 winter season, Oceak's Poza Rico team captured the Mexican League championship. Oceak was coaching a team in the Domincan Republic when his old roommate Danny Murtaugh was named to manage the big league team in Pittsburgh. So, in 1958, Frank and Danny resumed their life long friendship when Frank, wearing jersey # 44, joined the Bucs as third base coach and infield instructor. His pupils were Dick Groat (1960 NL MVP), Bill Mazeroski (1960 Player of the Year), and Ted Kluszewski, whose upper arms were so huge that he had to cut off his sleeves to put on his jersey.
In his first two seasons, Frank's team finished in the upper half of the National League. The year 1960 was to become a different season. It was the year when the Pirates returned to the World Series. The last time the Pirates had been in the series, it was 1927,when they were swept by the Murderer's Row Yankees with Ruth, Gehrig, Lazerri and Combs, Koenig, and Meusel and arguably, at (110-44), the best team in the history of baseball.
The day - October 13, 1960. The place - Forbes Field, Pittsburgh, PA. Pirates go ahead in the bottom of the 8th inning with five runs. Yankees tie the game with 2 scores in the top of the 9th. Bottom of the 9th inning. Score: New York 9 - Pittsburgh 9. The series is tied 3-3. Ralph Terry, for the Yankees in relief, is on the mound. The count - 1-0. Oceak, the third base coach, takes off the take sign. Batting for the Pirates; Mazeroski, hoping for a miracle, got one. Mazeroski swings. He smacks the ball toward left center. It's ------ gone! Home run! The Pirates win the World Series! Fans race toward Maz as he rounds second base, hoping to get a pat on the back or grab a souvenir cap. The first Pirate to congratulate the fine defensive second baseman was his mentor and third base coach Oceak, his own cap on the ground or in the hands of a lucky scavenging fan.
When Murtaugh resigned for health reasons as manager after the end of the 1964 season, Oceak found that the only way he could remain in the major leagues was to accept the offer of the Cincinnati Reds as a coach. Pete Rose credited Oceak with helping him to become a better second baseman just as he did with Bill Mazeroski in 1958, when Maz cracked the starting lineup for the first time.
After one season with the Reds, Frank longed to return to the Pirates, who named him to manage the Clinton Pilots of the Midwest League. Oceak returned to Middle Georgia in 1967 to manage the Macon Peaches of the Southern League. His last two seasons as a minor league manager came in 1968 and 1969 came with the Gastonia Pirates.
When Danny Murtaugh returned to the Pirates in 1970, he asked Frank to come back to the big club and take his old spot in the third base coach's box. The Pirates returned to the top of the National League, capturing first place in the NL East. In 1971, the Pirates returned to the World Series.
In a bit of deja vu, the Pirates and Orioles were locked in tight game with the series tied 3-3. As he congratulated Roberto Clemente as he homered and rounded third to put the Pirates ahead, Frank thought back to the series 11 years before. The Pirates took a two-run lead into the 9th inning, just as they had done against the Yankees. This time they held the lead, winning the game 2-1 and the series, four games to three. Once more, Frank and the Pirates were world champions. Frank Oceak stayed on with the Pirates after Murtaugh retired again.
Frank Oceak, after four decades of playing, coaching and managing, hung up his cleats for the last time following the 1972 season. He died in Johnstown, Pennsylvania on March 19, 1983 at the age of seventy.

Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag of India, Hashim Amla of South Africa and England's Graeme Swann have all been short-listed for the top honour at the LG ICC Awards 2010.
The votes have now been cast by the independent 25-person academy and these four men are the ones in the running to receive the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for Cricketer of the Year at a glittering ceremony in Bengaluru on 6 October 2010.
In addition, Tendulkar, Sehwag and Amla are also short-listed for the Test Player of the Year alongside South Africa's Dale Steyn at the seventh annual LG ICC Awards, presented in association with the Federation of International Cricketers' Associations (FICA).
Tendulkar is also in contention for the ODI Player of the Year award as he is short-listed in that category with Australia duo of Shane Watson and Ryan Harris as well as South Africa's AB de Villiers.
The Twenty20 International Performance of the Year sees New Zealand's Brendon McCullum short-listed alongside Australia's Michael Hussey, Sri Lanka's Mahela Jayawardena and South Africa's Ryan McLaren.
This year's LG ICC Awards includes nine individual prizes, including the new LG People's Choice Award and also features the selection of the Test and ODI Teams of the Year and the award to the side that has adhered most to the Spirit of Cricket.
The long-lists of nominations were made by a five-man ICC selection panel chaired by former West Indies captain and current chairman of the ICC Cricket Committee Clive Lloyd. The panel also includes former players such as India's Ravi Shastri, Matthew Hayden of Australia, Angus Fraser of England and Zimbabwe's Duncan Fletcher.
The short-lists were created after the individual player awards were voted for by an academy of 25 highly credentialed cricket personalities from around the world*. The academy includes a host of former players, respected members of the media as well as representatives of the Emirates Elite Panels of ICC Umpires and ICC Match Referees.
The nominations from the Women's Cricketer of the Year were decided after a committee of former players, current administrators and journalists created a long-list. This in turn was broken down into a short-list by a separate 25-person voting academy.
This year's short-list for the Women's Cricketer of the Year sees two of Australia's victorious World Twenty20 team nominated for the top honour. Shelley Nitschke and Ellyse Perry are joined by West Indies Stafanie Taylor and England's Katherine Brunt.
The Spirit of Cricket award was voted on by all international captains as well as all members of the Emirates Elite Panels of ICC Umpires and ICC Match Referees. The Umpire of the Year award was voted on by the captains and the match referees based on the umpires' performance statistics.
The Emerging Player of the Year nominees short-list features England's Steven Finn, Australia's Tim Paine, as well as Angelo Matthews of Sri Lanka and Pakistan's Umar Akmal.
To qualify for that award a player must be under the age of 26 and have played fewer than five Tests and/or 10 ODIs at the start of the voting period.
The Associate and Affiliate Player of the Year award serves to recognise and reward the efforts in all international matches of the outstanding cricketers from the teams outside the ICC Full Members.
This year's short-list sees the return of 2008 winner, Ryan ten Doeschate of the Netherlands, who is joined by Ireland pair of Trent Johnson and Kevin O'Brien while Afghanistan's Mohammed Shahzad completes the list.
Based on the period between 24 August 2009 and 10 August 2010, the LG ICC Awards 2010 – presented in association with FICA – take into account performances by players and officials in a remarkable period for the game.
That period includes such high-profile events as the ICC Men's and Women's World Twenty20 2010 in West Indies, the ICC Champions Trophy 2009 in Australia and the ICC World Cricket League Division 1 2010 in the Netherlands, as well as several bilateral Test and ODI series.
The LG ICC Awards ceremony is now in its seventh year and this year is being held in Bengaluru. Previous ceremonies were held in London (2004), Sydney (2005), Mumbai (2006), Johannesburg (2007 and 2009) and Dubai (2008).

National Bar Institute African-American Law Student Fellowships
Application Deadline: May 15 , 2008
The National Bar Institute (NBI) was established in 1982 as the philanthropic arm of the National Bar Association (NBA). The African American Law Student Fellowship Program, a project of the Institute, was developed to assist students who are completing professional law degrees, a field where African American participation has traditionally been low. As more African Americans have successfully entered the legal profession and their contributions have gained wider recognition, the National Bar Institute has recognized the need to support law students in public interest areas, or in those specialties deemed critical where African Americans remain underrepresented within the legal profession. The fellowships are financed largely by NBA individual members, sections, regions, divisions, affiliates and augmented by corporations and foundations that value scholarship and believe in the potential of African-American lawyers. Applications are reviewed by an NBI panel. For details regarding eligibility and selection criteria and to download an application form, click here.
