Former scoutmaster Thomas J. Menghi Jr. says he was usually drunk when he molested numerous Boy Scouts during the early 1970s.
MONROE � Former scoutmaster Thomas J. Menghi Jr. says he was usually drunk when he molested numerous Boy Scouts during the early 1970s.
He was in his late 20s, living in a Fayetteville motel and working as Tupperware deliveryman. He invited boys from Troop 786 as young as 11 years old to ride with him along his route, requesting that they come to his room to spend the night before so they could get an early start.
�Yes, I abused kids,� Menghi, now 69, admitted in an interview Wednesday with The Associated Press. �But just how many and other details I can't remember. It was a long time ago and I was in a fog.�
Menghi previously confessed in January 1974, when confronted in a private meeting by other scout leaders about his sexual abuse of as many as 10 boys. He was barred from scouting functions and pledged to seek help from a psychiatrist and a preacher.
But Menghi's crimes were never reported to the police or the parents of some of the boys who were abused.
�The biggest thing was to get the guy out of scouting and away from our boys,� said George Heib, 86, a retired U.S. Army officer and one of the Occoneechee Council officials at the meeting. �Putting the boys through all the trauma of having to go to court and trial and all the stuff like that, I didn't think it was worth it. Of course, the publicity wouldn't be good for scouting, either.�
Secret records about Menghi were among 14,500 pages of �perversion files� compiled by the Boy Scouts of America between 1959 to 1985 and made public last week by court order. Thousands more files for abuse cases after 1985 remain secret.
Menghi's confidential file was one of 23 involving cases in North Carolina. The AP reviewed each file, but focused on four where the perpetrator was reported to have admitted guilt when confronted by parents or other scout leaders. Of those four, two of the accused are dead. The other, Edwin Loren Tenny, now 74 and living in Missouri, did not respond to phone messages seeking comment.
There's no statute of limitations on prosecuting child sexual abuse in North Carolina. A spokeswoman for the State Bureau of Investigation said no review of the Boy Scout's files is planned, though the agency could assist district attorneys who want to probe cases in their jurisdictions. William West, the district attorney for the county that includes Fayetteville, said in a statement that his office and the sheriff's department would review Menghi's case.
The AP tracked down the former scoutmaster in Monroe, a bedroom community near Charlotte where he lives on a quiet street around the corner from an elementary school. Had he ever been convicted and placed on the state's sex offender registry, a 2006 law would bar him from living within 1,000 feet of a school or daycare.
The house Menghi shares with his adult son was decked out for Halloween with fake tombstones, a big white ghost and a black-clad witch. The front door was covered with bloody handprints and a warning: �Keep Out!�
The former scoutmaster was hesitant to discuss his past but eventually recounted that he was a Boy Scout growing up in Fayetteville and wanted to give back to the organization. He was 25 years old and single when he decided to volunteer with a local troop.
As he spent more time alone with the boys, his �dark side� took over.
�What I did was wrong,� Menghi said, sitting in a rocking chair on his front porch. �I'm not making any excuses. But I was a heavy drinker and did pot every once in a while.�
Menghi's long-secret file with the Boy Scouts shows that officials in the organization were contacted in early 1974 by the father of two brothers in Troop 786. The boys, ages 11 and 12, had been overhead by an older sister talking about what happened in Menghi's motel room. Other parents also reported that their sons had been molested.
After interviewing the parents and some of the scouts, Kia Kim District Scout Executive George F. Hardwick Sr. drafted a memo stating that he believed there was evidence Menghi had abused as many as 10 boys in his motel room or on camping trips.
�Sometimes during the night, mostly early in the morning, the boy would be wakened from sleep by Tom kissing him and sucking his penis,� Hardwick wrote. �This happened several times with each of the ... boys.�
The following day, Jan. 12, Hardwick wrote that he, Heib and another scout leader met with Menghi and confronted him with written statements from scouts and parents.
�I told Tom Menghi that this was sodomy and he acknowledged this and stated that he was seeing a doctor and his minister about this,� Hardwick said. �Menghi was advised that he was out of scouting.�
Hardwick's memo was sent to Wallace E. Wood, the supervising scout executive at the headquarters of the Occoneechee Council in Raleigh. Wood sent a memo to national BSA headquarters in North Brunswick, N.J., asking what to do next.
�This case, I think, might turn out to involve some litigation,� Wood wrote on Feb. 13, 1974. �Personally, if a son of mine had been involved in one of these instances, I think I'd be considering some sort of legal action to have this man placed somewhere so that he could not molest any more boys. I wonder if we should possibly advise parents along this line, but I also wonder if we might not be named in any suit brought against this man. Would you have any advice about this?�
Less than two weeks later, Wood received a reply from Paul I. Ernst, the BSA executive then in charge of the organization's secret files.
�Normally, we do not suggest that any legal action be instituted by parents,� Ernst wrote. �If they desire to do this on their own they certainly should bring about any action they feel necessary. Certainly in this case, there is every indication that legal action is justified.�
A woman who answered the phone at a listing for Ernst, who now lives in Texas, directed questions to BSA and hung up.
Besides the local scout leaders� decision not to contact law enforcement, some parents whose sons had been molested by Menghi may not have been told.
�If any of the parents wanted to know why he is out of scouting and were to ask me, I would have to reveal the fact that their son's name was on the list,� Hardwick wrote in 1974.
Now 83 and still active in scouting, Hardwick said Thursday he never contacted some of the parents and never considered going to the police himself.
�As the district executive, I followed the procedure I was supposed to follow,� said Hardwick, a retired U.S. Army officer. �I handled it according to my instructions. Today, there's no question the guy would be put in handcuffs. But that wasn't the way it was done in those days. Nobody even wanted to talk about it.�
Wood could not be reached for comment.
The current leadership of the Boy Scouts of America, which has hired a public relations firm to handle media questions involving molestation cases, declined to comment on Menghi's case.
Menghi said Wednesday the only reason he stopped molesting boys was because he got caught.
�That's when it really hit me. I knew I needed to quit and get help. Then I blacked it out,� he said.
After his problems in Fayetteville, Menghi relocated to Monroe and got married. In 1987, when his boy grew old enough to become a Cub Scout, Menghi once again tried to volunteer. He was rejected after his name was matched to the Boy Scout's confidential list of sexual predators.
Still, he managed to keep his past a secret from everyone in his new life for nearly four decades.
�I never talked to anyone in my family about this. Not my wife. Not my son,� Menghi said. �I didn't see any reason to dig it up. I made my changes. I felt bad about the past but there was nothing I could do to make up for what happened.�
He recognizes the emotional and physical pain he caused and said he would like to apologize to his victims. He conceded that saying he's sorry might not be enough now that his secret file can be read by anyone with an Internet connection.
�I don't know what I'm going to do now,� he said. �I just don't want to wake up in jail.�
Biesecker reported from Raleigh. Associated Press News Researcher Julie Reed in Charlotte contributed to this report.

Nick Gennusa: 2012 ATV MX 450 A, 4-Stroke A and Production A champ
January 31, 2013
Nick Gennusa, a 17-year-old racer from Wall Township, N.J., was a force to be reckoned with in the 2012 ITP/Moose Racing AMA ATV Motocross Championship Series, presented by Parts Unlimited.
Gennusa took home three national titles in the 450 A, 4-Stroke A and Production A classes. He knew he had a chance to win all three titles, but he also knew it wouldn't be easy.
"I knew from the beginning of the year that all three classes were going to come down to Loretta's [the last race of the season] and they did," he says.
Racing three classes can be tough physically and mentally. Gennusa says what kept him going was an inner drive to win against tough competition. What kept it interesting was keeping track of who he had to beat at each race.
"I have to say, probably the toughest competition in the 'A' classes for me [in 2012] were definitely Travis Spader and Merrill Crose," he says. "The thing with Travis is that he was fast on every track. And if he got a good start and I didn't, it was not going to be easy to catch him.
"With Merrill, he's a tank on the track—definitely the fiercest rider I've ever raced," Gennusa says. "Between Merrill and I, whoever got the better start would most likely win. Both of these guys helped me to develop into a much better rider."
A racer since he was 8 years old, Gennusa won the AMA MX Supermini Championship in 2010 and now has three more titles.
"I love racing, the sport NEVER gets old for me," Gennusa says. "It's my favorite thing to do. I'm more relaxed on a quad then I am on anything else. I'm more comfortable on a quad then I am walking. Riding, to me, comes as easy as breathing."
Looking ahead to the 2013 season, Gennusa plans to step up and race the Pro-Am Unlimited and Pro-Am Production classes.
Gennusa is sponsored by Fly Racing, Sidi boots, FTR Powersports, Odi grips, Maxxis Tires, Ocean County Powersports, Nac's Racing, Rath Racing, JB Racing, "and most importantly, my family, because racing would not happen without them at all."

Skip to comments.Ground Fishing New England Petition
Posted on 12/03/2012 7:41:57 AM PST by Colonial35
Help stop Giant Commercial Fishing Fleets from cleaning out local Habitats. Big Box Fishing is depleting the Fish Stocks from local Waters of the New England Coas line.
I thought Obama administration fishing rules were screwing over ALL fishermen up there. Even Kerry was whining.
Yes he has and having Comandant Jane Lubchenco a Super Environmentalist Tree Hugger as Leader of Fisheries division has allowed Catch Shares to ruin a perfectly good system. Local Charter Boat captains and Recreational fishermen like myself have a difficult time finding fish now. Giant Trawlers have been clearing out what used to be a protected Santuary Stellwagen Bank. Now the Fleet wants access to The Northern Edge of The Gulf of Maine. Making recreational and small commercial fishing impossible. Any help with this petition is appreciated.
" It's The Peoples Fish "
Signed, thank you.

Local child places in national tractor pull
By LANCE MIHM
Staff Writer
More often than not, a five year old can be amused easily. Making crafts, drawing pictures or playing games can keep them happy.
But while rural Moulton resident and five-year-old Jacob Ott may sometimes partake in those activities in his pre-kindergarten class at the Wapakoneta Learning Center, he takes his threshold for thrills to a whole new level.
Ott recently competed in the Grand National Tractor Pulling championship Jan. 29 at Power Show Ohio in Columbus and placed third nationally.
While the son of Christy and David Ott is fairly new to competition, he has shown he is a quick learner.
In his first year of competition, he placed third at the Holy Rosary Parish Festival in June, and finished it off with first place finishes at the Applefest in Sidney and the St. Marys Summerfest in August. He also garnered a fifth-place finish at the Darke County Fair.
Children qualify for the national pull by placing in the top three at any sanctioned event, so Jacob qualified three times over.
Through these early competitions, Jacob has learned the importance of training at a young age.
He spends plenty of time on his little green John Deere pedal tractor, and often hooks his wagon up and loads it with stones.
While he turned five in October, Jacob qualified and competed in the national pull in the 3-4 age group.
He nailed down his third place finish by hauling 300 pounds for a distance of more than 26 feet.
"When he gets his mind set on doing something, he does it," his mother said.
Jacob, himself, was obviously proud of his accomplishments.
"I have two small trophies, two bigger ones and one huge one," Jacob said of his winnings.
"I keep them in my room."
However, he does not plan on stopping there.
"Next year I am going to get more," Jacob said. "I'm going to get even bigger ones."
The event has come natural for him, as he is the next in line of a long family history of farming. Jacob has taken quite the interest in the family business at a young age. The family grows corn, soybeans and wheat.
"He is always out there with his dad and his brothers," his mother said.
"He's a farmer all the way. He always has to be in the combine and he is even interested in the mechanic part of it."
Jacob echoed his mother's assessments.
"When I grow up I am going to be a farmer and I am going to work on tractors," Jacob said.
After his third place finish, Jacob has set his sights on higher achievements this year.
"He's hoping next time he can win so he can get his picture on the pedal tractor with the big trophy," his mother said.

Light-weight sample parameter inference which will fit most needs. We only do "poor man's inference", only for sample rates. The sample rate will be provided as an argument of a special type T. This argument will almost never be passed explicitly but should be handled by operators analogous to '($)' and '(.)'.
In contrast to the run-time inference approach, we have the static guarantee that the sample rate is fixed before passing a signal to the outside world. However we still need to make it safe that signals that are rendered for one sample rate are not processed with another sample rate.
|Get results from the Process monad. You can obtain only signals (or other values) that do not implicitly depend on the sample rate, that is value without the s type parameter.
|This corresponds to <*>
|Instead of mixMulti $:: map f xs the caller should write mixMulti $: mapM f xs in order to save the user from learning another infix operator.
|Our signal processors have types like f (a -> b -> c). They could also have the type a -> b -> f c or f a -> f b -> f c. We did not choose the last variant for reduction of redundancy in type signatures, and we did not choose the second variant for easy composition of processors. However the forms are freely convertible, and if you prefer the last one because you do not want to sprinkle '($:)' in your code, then you may want to convert the processors using the following functions, that can be defined purely in the Applicative class.

Chillin' Out
Staying cool during a long, hot summer
The summer months in Albuquerque are quite possibly the most miserable of the year. Yes, it's true that afternoon thunderstorms in July and August deliver a brief respite from the heat, but they never seem to last long enough to provide much relief.
A Great Poem of Geology
El Malpais National Monument
El Malpais national wilderness area offers a fine example of New Mexico's geological brilliance and sometimes forgiving landscape. It's just a 90-minute drive from Albuquerque, and if you do a little research, pack the proper gear and plan the trip with respect for the summer sun's afternoon fury, you can enjoy a great trip and keep it cool at the same time.
Dive Into Summer
A guide to city pools
When the blazing New Mexico sun is beating down on your shoulders, there's nothing better than diving into a pool of ice cold water and washing your cares away. Several public pools in Albuquerque offer recreational swimming for the kiddies and lap swimming for health-conscious adults. So cover your body with plenty of sunscreen, put on your flip-flops and floaties, and jump on in. The water's fine.
A True New Mexico Treasure
Valles Caldera National Preserve
This wilderness area located in the Jemez Mountains might be less than a two-hour drive from Albuquerque, but the distance is measured in more than just miles. Hiking in the Valles Caldera is akin to dreaming in paradise. Imagine standing amidst one of the most breathtakingly beautiful natural landscapes in the state and realizing this promise: "Don't expect big crowds, a shortage of parking, or a shop full of trinkets. Instead, we offer a chance to get out and really experience a sense of solitude that we hope will leave you refreshed and relaxed." That's from the preserve's website, and judging from the visitation format, the Valles Caldera's unique management structure means what the website says. What's more, the visitation program offers something for practically every outdoor enthusiast imaginable, whether you're into fly fishing, bird watching, photography, landscape painting, horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking or elk hunting.
Feature: Picks
Float, Fish, Climb
Got an itch to try kayaking, white water rafting, fly fishing or rock climbing but don't have the slightest idea how to get started? Well, your friendly neighborhood Alibi has done a good bit of the work for you. We decided to ask some experts at nearby outdooring stores the best way for novices to get started. Here's what they had to say.
Scraping the Sky
Wheeler Peak
In a state full of jaw-dropping scenic vistas, Wheeler Peak may very well beat out all competitors. Rising to a height of 13,161 feet from the rugged Sangre de Cristo mountain range near Taos, New Mexico's highest point is also embedded in one of the most beautiful areas of our achingly beautiful state. Because it scrapes the roof of the world, it's also nice and cool up there. So if you're looking for a way to beat the heat, Wheeler Peak is a prime place to start.

From Openmoko
= Minimoko = --matzehuber 06:55, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
... is a playground for me. I wanted to test some things: without reinventing the wheel again and again, using existing resources like windowmanager (openbox) and desktop-iconsoftware (idesk). ~
My hope was to fasten and simplify handling.
I used shr unstable with all updates until 2009-10-15 and made some changes on it.
- windowmanager: openbox and obconf (patched few lines of code)
- desktop-software(icons): idesk
- keyboard: literki
- screenlock: xtrlock (modified)
- desktop-status: xminimokostatus (new written)
- Full Image [1]http://openmoko.huber-computer.de/minimoko.tbz (~80 MB)
- Diff between shr-u and Minimoko: [2]http://openmoko.huber-computer.de/minimoko_diff.tbz (~13 MB)
- Update-Package from 1. Version to actual [3]http://openmoko.huber-computer.de/minimoko_update.tbz (~1 MB)
untar it onto an ext3-sdcard. nothing more is to do. boot with qi.
It bases on shr, so the base is shr-like. If you want to get illume, just rename .Xsession to .Xsession.unused
- When you use obconf, the configuration is "copied" into .config/openbox/rc.xml and furthermore used from there
- Minimized Windows are excluded from the slide function, you have to bring them up with menu -> windows
- To bring the keyboard up, slide from bottom right up and slide down to bring it down
Knobs, touches ...
- single click on an icon starts the program which lays behind .idesktop/<application>.lnk
- AUX locks the screen with xtrlock. Pressing one more AUX unlocks the screen
- POWER short pressed suspends
- POWER for more or equal 2 Seconds shuts the system down with init 0
- Slide(drag to the right, for example) on the top bar of an application switches to the next application
- Double Click on the topbar of an application shows the Main Menu
- Double Click on the empty desktop shows the Main Menu
- On the left of the topbar is the knob for minimizing the app, on the right topbar is the close knob
if you installed new applications and want the menu updated, use:
after that, you can remove unused menuitems in /etc/xdg/openbox/openmoko.menu
Sources / Patches
- openbox needed to have a little patch because of the behavior of the om-applications: client.patch [4] and prompt.patch [5]
- i wrote a little helper, which places text on the root window: [6] Lic: GPL_newest

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- Despite a furious second-half rally, the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology women's basketball team was unable to overcome a 10-point halftime deficit in a 74-69 road loss to Robert Morris-Springfield Friday.
Rose-Hulman dropped to 3-7 on the season, while USSCA-member Robert Morris-Springfield improved to 8-5.
Freshman Kristen Belyea (Mahomet, Ill./Mahomet Seymour) scored a team-high 17 points on a perfect 4-for-4 showing from the 3-point line and senior Kelsey Ploof (Noblesville, Ind./Noblesville) added 13 points (6-of-8 from the field) to lead the Engineers in the loss. Freshman Abbie Marshall (St. Louis, Mo./Nerinx Hall) added 10 points to round out RHIT players in double figures.
Down 12 points (53-41) with 13 minutes to play in the second half, the Engineers used an 11-0 run to put themselves back in the game in the final minutes. Sophomore Carrie Morris (Altadena, Calif./Mayfield) kickstarted the run with a 3-pointer and Marshall followed with two straight jumpers.
After a RMU-Springfield turnover, freshman Jamie Loving (Normal, Ill./Normal West) sunk a layup to cut the lead to three, 53-50, and force a Eagles timeout. The Engineers would add one more bucket out of the timeout, as senior Lauren Meadows (Indianapolis, Ind./Brebeuf) finished a spin move to the rim to bring Rose-Hulman to within one (53-52) with 8:40 remaining.
Robert Morris-Springfield responded to the run to bring the lead back to eight (62-54), capped by Laci Porter triple with 5:40 to play.
The teams traded buckets down the stretch, as the closest the Engineers would get was five points before RMU-Springfield closed out the game with two Brandi Bradley free throws.
Cassandra Baker led the Eagles with a game-high 25 points on 11-of-18 shooting and teammate Stephanie House added 10 points.
For RHIT, Morris chipped in nine points on 4-of-8 shooting and Meadows added eight (3 for 5 from the field) for RHIT, which won the rebounding battle, 32-19.
Marshall added three assists and freshman Josie Schmidt (Eighty Four, Pa./Ringgold) pulled down a team-best six rebounds.
The Engineers shot 61.5 percent for the game compared to 66.7 percent for Robert Morris-Springfield.
Rose-Hulman will return to Hulbert Arena for a home Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference matchup with Bluffton on Saturday, Jan. 4. Tip off is slated for 1 p.m.

I recently told y'all about my friend Phil who is a Navy SEAL and among his many talents and skills, he's recently learned to knit.
We've been emailing each other nearly every day since we reconnected (Facebook does have a purpose beyond Scrabble!). The email he sent me yesterday started with this...
I have been in a bit of a dry spell for a few days. I totally ran out of yarn! How awful it is. I am sure you know the feeling.
BWAHHAHHAHA! I explained to him that I am in no danger of EVER running out of yarn. Like the Yarn Harlot, I collect and hoard yarn as though there will be some tragic sheep blighting disease that will eradicate new wool forever.
Someone sent him a box with some yarn in it and he dug right in. (It wasn't me, I am putting together a package for him but haven't finished/sent it yet.) He sent me a pic of the scarf he started...
I emailed back and about an hour later he responded and sent another pic of the scarf.....
It's a bit depressing that he knits faster then I do and I've been at it for about 6 and a half years now!
When he first told me about his new hobby, he sent a pic of these rockin' arm warmers he made...
I love those! It's also a wonderful pic that shows off some of the great tattoos he has. He's had ink from many parts of the world. The last time I saw him in person (1999), he had a beautiful angel on his arm - it had the most delicate face - that he got in Amsterdam.
I was thinking of having a contest... You know, you send me yarn to mail to him and then I pick a winner from the people that play. But then I remembered he's in Iraq and needs to travel light. I know how generous knitters can be and I think sending him a metric ton of yarn probably wouldn't be the best idea.
His birthday is this Friday and I'll be mailing his package on Monday (ish).
Oh! and here's a picture of him...
Even squinting into the sun, he's still beautiful! Behind him is the solar oven he made (this pic is from his house in the US).
He's sent me a some really cool pic's. One of him in his full combat gear with a really gorgeous weapon. One of his outstanding Harley with his equally outstanding sons in front of it (I was going to post that one but I didn't want to put his kids on the interwebs).
Since Dave and I both have a real thing for guns, I showed these pic's to Dave and when he saw the above one (with the solar oven), Dave commented that Phil looks just like "Castle". In that pic, he totally does! Especially the squint and the way his hair is.
Anyway, Phil ended yesterday's email with....
This knitting thing is biting me pretty hard, I wonder if it will ever let up!! Phil
Now that's something I can relate to!
Enabling him with yarn, Ruth!

Oh, I think he is in deep! No, it's not letting up any time soon, I think.

He is indeed a hunk. And he knits. Too bad I am happily married (and 30 years his senior).

A hot knitting SEAL with tattoos and a Harley? This is kind of proof that you really can find anything on the internet.
(Too bad I can't find such a person in real life, but that's kind of another story.) I hope he enjoys his slide into yarn addiction!

I'm with kmkat and Steph. I'm happily married, but geez! Really? I mean, you didn't just make him up, did you? Damn!

Wow. Serving our country and he knits, too? I'm beyond impressed!

LONDON — They call themselves the yin and the yang of the Marvel universe: Chris Hemsworth, the buff Australian surfer who plays the immortal superhero Thor in a series of comic book films, and Tom Hiddleston, the thin, classically trained Englishman who plays Loki, Thor's mischievous and villainous, half-brother.
In three films — Thor, The Avengers, and now Thor: The Dark World — they've been fighting over the fate of the universe.
Off screen, though, they can't seem to get enough of each other. They met on the set of the first Thor movie, in 2011, when they were both rising stars looking for their big break. They got the break, and they also got the bromance.
Hiddleston: "It's a hard thing to describe."
Hemsworth: "It's like any relationship. You either have chemistry or not. You can't force it and we were lucky enough that when we first met we had the same enthusiasm and excitement and fears about what we're about to embark on."
Hiddleston: "One of our first conversations was about films we loved, and we found that we were brought up on opposite ends of the planet, but we basically loved the same things. So that gave us a unique bond."
And the movies they loved? It's a combination of macho action and kid stuff: Gladiator, Braveheart, The Goonies, The Never Ending Story, Princess Bride, Superman. You can see why co-star Natalie Portman calls Hemsworth and Hiddleston "dorky sweethearts."
Portman is also back in Thor: The Dark World, as Jane Foster, the scientist who is reunited with the hammer-wielding Norse god to fight a new villain, Malekith (Christopher Eccleston) who wants to — ahem — destroy the universe. Loki, who was imprisoned by his brother in the first movie, is called on to declare his allegiance to his family and fight this new threat.
Despite Jane, though, the real love story may be between Thor and Loki, the adopted son of the god Odin (Anthony Hopkins) who turned evil when he was denied the throne he thought he deserved.
"I love you man," Hiddleston tells Hemsworth as they talk about their chemistry. "It has been an amazing adventure for both of us. The two characters define each other and need each other. All acting is what happens in the space between people and the more you trust each other the deeper you can go ... whatever he serves I'll return and he'll return it back, and that is the joy of it for me."
Hiddleston, who trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, came to the Thor franchise from some acclaimed TV work (Nicholas Nickleby, Wallander), and while he has some smaller parts in diverse movies (Midnight In Paris, War Horse), Loki has become his defining role. It's not that much of a stretch from the Shakespearean parts he has done on stage. He says he talked to Kenneth Branagh, who directed the first Thor film, about that very subject.
"Loki is an illegitimate son with a grudge and Edmund in King Lear is exactly that," Hiddleston says. "He is obsessed with being king, just like Macbeth is crippled and driven by ambition. Iago in Othello is a master manipulator and can shift the ground under people's feet and change situations for his own self-interest. So that was a key. Cassius in Julius Caesar has a lean and hungry look, which Ken Branagh directly quoted, saying that was what we need to build in his physicality."
The result is a character who's a mixture of playfulness and charm, so popular with fans that Hiddleston is often greeted at airports by signs reading "Loki's Army."
Hiddleston calls it an "amazing surprise," but Hemsworth understands the allure. "I'm leading that charge," says Hemsworth. "I'm the founding member of that club. I'm his biggest fan."
There are even online petitions urging Marvel to create a stand-alone Loki film (Thor producer Kevin Feige says there are no plans for one as yet. "One without the other may not be necessarily as interesting, but anything can happen.")
If Hiddleston is the Shakespearean student, Hemsworth is the laid-back jock. His filmography is a catalogue of action: Star Trek, Red Dawn, the car-racing drama Rush. He's different, but that's what it's like in a family. Hemsworth says he drew on his own brothers — Liam and Luke, both actors and "neither of whom have attempted to take over the universe just yet" — for a scene in Thor: The Dark World where Thor and Loki leave Asgard, the home of the gods, in a spaceship.
"Tom and I were pretty insistent that this has got to feel like when you're in the back seat with two siblings, and we couldn't get 100 metres down the road before the three of us would be like, 'get off of me, don't touch me,'" Hemsworth says.
Hiddleston, who has two sisters, adds, "I suppose the thing about siblings is they know you. They know you better than anyone. And there's that thing of always being bound together by your history. You can't lie in front of siblings. In this film I love that Thor is able to demand from Loki that he play his hand. Loki never shows you how he really feels."
Like real brothers, they're finding that they're growing up a bit with time.
"Every film, I look back and go, 'Oh, now I get it,'" says Hemsworth. "And then I start the next one and I go, 'Oh, I don't have a clue what I'm doing.'"
But he says that he's growing up as a person, and it's showing in the films. "It was nice to have a more mature Thor who was less petulant and arrogant and teenaged as the first one was at the time," he says. He recalled meeting Hopkins on the first day of the first Thor movie as they stood in their Norse god costumes in the immense sound stages dressed to look like the throne room of the gods.
"He looks at me and says, 'No acting required here.' I always remember that and think, 'Don't compete with that. Keep it simple.'"
That's easier now that he's married (to actress Elsa Pataky) and a father (their child India Rose was born last year.)
"Having a family, I found that work has become easier because I'm less restricted there," Hemsworth says. "Because I have something that's far more important to me at home. And that consumes all of my energy. So I come to work and there's less fear that 'It has to work.' You know. There's a freedom now, which I love.
"My brother (Luke), he's got three kids and he said, 'The best thing about having kids is it's not about you any more. And you can kind of get out of the way of yourself and get on with it.' Certainly I felt that while shooting this."

Fostering Leadership in BPD
In March, the Institute for Public Service and the Management and Entrepreneurship Department launched a new leadership course for BPD executive-level leaders.
The class offers participants a chance to step back from their daily operational activities and build critical leadership skills in a public safety and community policing context.
"As BPD managers move to leadership positions, they are asked to stretch themselves and their thinking in a way that is not typically covered in traditional police and criminal justice training programs. Their positions and the community are increasingly complex, thus they must have a variety of knowledge, skills and abilities to take on the challenges within the organization and community," said Associate Professor of Public Service Brenda Bond, who's co-leading the course with Jodi Detjen, an instructor of Management and Entrepreneurship
An important distinction for the BPD is that the course is based within the Sawyer Business School. The curriculum is unique because it centers on leadership and how to run an enterprise rather than criminal justice.
Our pilot class, made up of eight students, will wrap up later this month.
Building a Lasting Partnership
Bond spearheaded the Business School's partnership with the BPD in 2010. She's an expert in public safety policy and has worked with Boston Police Commission Edward Davis for several years. Through her research, she helps organizations improve their processes and reorganize their facilities.
Bond characterizes the relationship between the Business School and the BPD as a model for improving the business of policing.
"This partnership makes sense given Commissioner Davis' interest in effectively managing the organization and public safety services, and the Business School's mission to prepare successful leaders in global business and public service," she said.
Last year, as part of the collaboration, the Moakley Center for Public Management launched the Public Safety Leadership and Management Certificate Program for front-line and mid-level BPD managers. The nine-month-long program included five courses at Suffolk, which were offered as full-day sessions.

News Release: March 21, 2013
Docket Nos. ER13-198-000, ER13-75-000, ER13-187-000
Item Nos. E-1, E-2 & E-3
FERC Addresses Merits of MISO, PJM, WestConnect Order No. 1000 Compliance Filings
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) today issued its first orders on the merits of filings submitted to comply with the requirements of Order No. 1000, the Commissions landmark July 2011 rule on electric transmission planning and cost allocation. In taking these actions, the Commission addressed filings for regions with both organized and bilateral markets.
Order No. 1000 requires public utility transmission providers to improve transmission planning processes, allocate costs for new transmission facilities to beneficiaries of those facilities and align transmission planning and cost allocation. This will remove barriers to development of transmission facilities.
In todays orders, FERC concluded that PJM Interconnection (PJM) and Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator (MISO) have largely complied with the rules requirements, but directed them to clarify and refine their proposals in certain respects. Among its findings, the Commission:
- Accepted the PJM and MISO regional cost allocation methods, with some conditions.
- Concluded the filings partially comply with the provisions of Order No. 1000 addressing transmission needs driven by public policy requirements, but directed them to propose additional procedures.
- Found that PJM and MISO complied in part with the requirement to eliminate from their Commission-jurisdictional tariffs and agreements provisions that establish a federal right of first refusal for an incumbent transmission provider but directed them to clarify certain issues.
With respect to the WestConnect transmission planning region compliance filings, FERC concluded that they partially comply with the requirements of Order No. 1000. FERC offered guidance to public utility transmission providers in the region and directed further compliance filings that:
- State that WestConnect has an obligation to identify transmission solutions in the regional transmission planning process that more efficiently or cost-effectively meet transmission needs driven by reliability and/or economic considerations or by public policy requirements.
- Address Order No. 1000s requirement to consider transmission needs driven by public policy requirements by including clear procedures for stakeholder input to identify transmission needs driven by such requirements and stakeholder input in evaluating potential solutions to the identified needs.
- Provide that regional cost allocations are binding on identified beneficiaries.

Meaningful contact between older adults and young people in the United States has become increasingly uncommon. Only in rare instances do grandparents live with their children and grandchildren under the same roof — or even in the same town.
Because there is so little interaction between the generations, young people often don't understand the needs and abilities of older adults, and older adults often forget the positive emotional benefits of being around young children.
Intergenerational programs allow older people to do valuable work in human service fields that face huge labor shortages. And they give old and young alike the chance to experience meaningful, caring relationships.
In an effort to bring old and young together, many child care facilities and senior citizen housing centers have developed intergenerational programs.
Many more will follow if Congress passes the bill recently introduced into the U.S Senate calling for the establishment of "Grand Care" programs. These programs would recruit and train older adults to serve as child care providers.
Intergenerational programs can take many forms. Examples include child care centers established in senior center housing, child care centers with older adults on staff, intergenerational care centers, older adults who take children into their homes as home-based providers, and "phone friend" connections to name a few. Whether in a formal or informal setting, bringing the generations together benefits everyone.
Approximately 25 percent of the American population is 50 years of age or older, and this percentage is increasing. Older adults represent every economic level. Although 85 percent of those over age 65 have adequate incomes, poverty is a fact of life for many elderly.
Many elders are concerned about their communities and take action as shown by the high percentages of people over 50 years of age who vote and volunteer.
Many older adults were born near the turn of the century, and the changes in society (technology, gender roles, work environments, etc.) have been far-reaching and rapid.
Values may be different and ways of living day to day have altered due to economic or societal demands.
We are a mobile society. Many older adults do not live close to their adult children or grandchildren.
There are several possible ways to plan intergenerational programs. With each model, funds are necessary to manage, organize and administer the program. Some of the options include:
Intergenerational experiences can be arranged in formal settings such as child care facilities or informally between parents, grandparents and children.
For these arrangements to work, the people involved must all be committed to the basic need for intergenerational programs.
There are various programs with an intergenerational focus across the nation. Experience shows that a great deal of recruitment and encouragement with older adults is necessary.
Some project leaders indicate that older adults are not as comfortable with infants and school-age children as they are with older preschoolers, particularly at first.
Older adults will need training and supervision. They may prefer to ease into a new setting by working part-time or as substitutes.
Don't assume that just because someone has raised a family, she or he has an interest in being with children, or has the skills to care for and teach individual or groups of children.
Older adult employees should receive the same compensation and benefits as younger workers. Payment for work, scheduling flexibility, and opportunities for advancement should be equitable.
Planning for intergenerational opportunities should be a two-way process considering the needs and emotions of all participants.
Consistency is important to older adults and to children. Children become confused, and trust waivers when too many adults come into and then leave their lives.
If a child has a relationship with an older person who becomes ill, he or she cannot just disappear from the child's life without comment. Discuss the situation with the child, and give the child an opportunity to express his or her feelings about it.
The first step in planning an intergenerational program is to analyze local demographics. Use a map of your area to see where older adults live, work and socialize in the community. What are the primary age breakdowns? What transportation is available to older adults? What current support systems are available.
In the planning process, be sure to involve elder care and child care providers, older adults, service organizations and agencies. Gaining community support is critical. To gain that support, you may have to explain the benefits of intergenerational programs to the child care professionals, service agencies, community leaders and parents involved.
Begin by breaking down the stereotypical notions of older people. Myths may include:
Some of these outmoded notions might be replaced with facts such as these:
One option is to start older adults at the same wage as a teacher's aide, interview them for positions, require the presentation of character references, and require a criminal records check.
Pre-service training is generally planned prior to hiring in order to screen for those who need more information before making a commitment to this type of work.
After an initial recruitment and orientation, a second group of "grand workers" can then train a new group.
The training should include:
You can recruit older adults by distributing fliers, placing ads in the newspaper — particularly the senior section, hanging announcements on doors, speaking to various community groups and through "word of mouth."
In your recruitment materials, explain that there will be training. Stress the importance and value of the work in addition to the need. In publicity, use photographs of older adults involved with various ages and races of children in activities.
Make the program environment as comfortable as possible; consider the needs of both children and adults. Draw upon community resources when available — start small and build. Recognition of successful efforts is important. Plan ways to recognize volunteers and paid staff who contribute time and effort!

In the grand scheme of things, it's hard to be critical of a company that is trying to grow, create more jobs and make America more energy independent.
Unfortunately, Mississippi Power Company (MPC) doesn't have all of its ducks in a row in regard to building a $2.4-billion lignite coal plant in Kemper County at the ratepayers expense.
Mississippi Power would like for its ratepayers to trust them when it says there is a need for a new plant, and that the reason it is needed is because natural gas is too volatile of a commodity to be trusted as a primary source of energy spanning the next 25 years.
A couple of weeks ago, Mississippi Power was given the opportunity to respond to comments from experts saying that because of recent discoveries of natural gas, an increase in production has lowered the commodity's price, therefore contradicting MPC's "need" to build a new lignite coal power plant.
MPC's CEO Anthony Topazi did not respond to interview requests at the time.
However, we did provide testimony Topazi made before the Mississippi Public Service Commission, where he said "gas is simply unpredictable."
"Any long-term energy strategy," he said, "that is relying on some optimistic forecast for natural gas is dangerous and exposes our customers to enormous cost risks going forward."
After the story ran, MPC asked for an editorial board meeting with us to explain in detail the issues it has with natural gas pricing.
In that meeting, Mississippi Power reiterated its position it had made to the Public Service Commission that natural gas is too volatile. Using their experts' range of natural gas forecasts, they had determined that energy from lignite coal would be cheaper for customers than energy from natural gas over the life of the plant.
"Great," we said. "Put us in touch with those experts, so we can put their comments on the record."
They wouldn't do that, citing competitive reasons.
They told us to contact an expert twho had testified before the Public Service Commission. We did.
He declined to be interviewed.
So, we asked to see the MPC forecasts it was providing to the Public Service Commission.
They wouldn't do that.
What we were left with for another story is a lot of experts who have continually said that while natural gas has been volatile in the past, it will not be in the foreseeable future.
In fact, just a week after Mississippi Power submitted its findings to the PSC, but made them unavailable to the public, the federal Energy Information Agency released its latest findings.
The results from the EIA shows gas prices rising at a consistent rate over the next 25 years. However, at the end of 2035, prices will only be two cents more than they were two years ago.
That is hardly volatile.
Mississippi sits on a gigantic pile of lignite coal.
Mississippi Power believes it has new cutting-edge "clean coal" technology that can put Mississippi on the map. MPC believes it can make money doing that.
But don't make the case for the plant with claims that cannot be backed up in a public forum, particularly when the public is going to be on the hook for billions of dollars.
As stated before, we would love to see Mississippi Power Company grow, create more jobs and make America more energy independent.
It just seems that the ratepayers of Southeast Mississippi ought not be on the hook for the bill, if it doesn't work out.
Mississippi Power Company should get private financing for its project. The model of putting everyday Mississippians on the hook for the financing this project is not a good one, particularly since the plant is not expected to provide savings for customers until 2024.

Job Search / Re: For all those who cry about our jobs stats......« on: August 30, 2012, 04:48:49 PM »
Most weekend and nights Cooley students are on the part time plans and tend to be around 40 some even with a pension from their old jobs. Would you give them priority over a Harvard grad due to that?
There is no experience that a Cooley student can have that will ever give them a leg up on a Harvard grad (unless that Harvard grad has subsequently been convicted of a felony). Sorry, those are just the cold hard facts. At least keep it reasonable, a see how you compete against a 3rd tier grad...not a grad from one of the top 3 schools.

Consensus Report
The Role of Theory in Advancing 21st Century Biology: Catalyzing Transformative Research (2008)Board on Life Sciences
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
Theory is an integral part of all biological research. Biologists' theoretical and conceptual frameworks inform every step of their research, affecting what experiments they do, what techniques and technologies they develop and use, and how they interpret their data. At the request of the National Science Foundation, this National Research Council report examines whether a greater emphasis on theory would be useful in advancing biology. The report concludes that theory is already an inextricable thread running throughout the practice of biology; but that explicitly giving theory equal status with other components of biological research could help catalyze transformative research that will lead to creative, dynamic, and innovative advances in our understanding of life.
Key Messages
- Biological science can contribute to solving societal problems and to economic competitiveness.
- Biologists in all subdisciplines use theory but rarely recognize the integral and multifaceted role that theory plays in their research and therefore devote little explicit attention to examining their theoretical and conceptual assumptions.
- New ways of looking at the natural world often face difficulty in acceptance. Challenges to long-held theories and concepts are likely to be held to a higher standard of evidence than more conventional proposals.
- Technological advances in arrays, high-throughput sequencing, remote sensing, miniaturization, wireless communication, high-resolution imaging, and other areas, combined with increasingly powerful computing resources and data analysis techniques, are dramatically expanding biologists' observational, experimental, and quantitative capabilities.
- To get the most out of large and diverse data sets, these will need to be accessible and biologists will have to learn how to use them. While technology is making it increasingly cost-effective to collect huge volumes of data, the process of extracting meaningful conclusions from those data remains difficult, time-consuming, and expensive.

Sinn Féin
In 1905, Sinn Féin was organized politically, but until the outbreak of World War I it gained little strength. The British suppression of the Easter Rebellion of 1916 greatly stimulated its growth. In 1917 many of its leaders, released from internment, met to reorganize under the leadership of Eamon De Valera . In the election of 1918, Sinn Féin put up a candidate for every Irish seat in the British Parliament and won 73 seats. To protest British rule over Ireland, the elected members declined to go to Westminster. Instead, they set up an Irish assembly in Dublin, called the Dáil Éireann , which declared Irish independence. The British attempted to suppress terrorists, led by Michael Collins , by a policy of counterterror and sent (1920) a body of military irregulars, popularly known as the Black and Tans, to reestablish order. The populace rallied to Sinn Féin.
In 1921 the British government yielded and began negotiations to establish the Irish Free State. The partition provisions of the resulting treaty did not, however, satisfy the militant wing of Sinn Féin, represented by De Valera, and civil war ensued. Gradually most of the country became reconciled to the new government, and Sinn Féin virtually came to an end when De Valera withdrew from it in 1927 and entered the Dáil.
In 1938 the few remaining intransigents merged with the Irish Republican Army (IRA), becoming the terrorist organization's political arm in advocating unification of Ireland by force. In 1969, along with the IRA, it split into official and provisional wings. The Marxist-oriented official Sinn Féin eventually became the Workers' Party, while the provisional wing continued to support the provisional IRA's use of terrorist activities to achieve unification. Gerry Adams has headed the latter party since 1983. In 1986, Sinn Féin ended its boycott of Ireland's parliament, with members taking seats for the first time since the parliament was established in 1922.
In late 1994, after the IRA and Protestant militias agreed to a cease-fire, efforts were begun to negotiate a settlement of the Northern Ireland issue. However, the peace process was put in jeopardy by renewed violence on the part of the IRA in 1996. Because of this, negotiations begun in June, 1996, did not include Sinn Féin. Following a renewed cease-fire in July, 1997, the group participated in peace talks begun in September of that year.
In 1998, agreement was reached concerning political restructuring in the province that would allow Protestants and Catholics to govern jointly in a democratically elected assembly. Members of Sinn Féin were elected to the assembly and participated in the province's government, but moderate Protestant leaders insisted on IRA disarmament (finally begun in Oct., 2001) as a condition for Sinn Féin's long-term participation in a broad-based government.
In 2002 the arrest of party members on charges of spying for the IRA led Protestants to call for Sinn Féin's ouster from the government, and home rule was suspended. Elections in Nov., 2003, which made Sinn Féin the largest Irish nationalist party in the assembly, did not lead to the reestablishment of home rule. In 2005 senior party members were accused of sanctioning alleged IRA robberies. Later in 2005, charges stemming from the 2002 case were dropped, and one of the accused spies admitted to being a long-time government informant, prompting charges that the spying case was a politically motivated attempt to aid moderate Protestant Unionists. Sinn Féin remained the largest Catholic party after the Mar., 2007, elections, and later that month the Democratic Unionists, the more militant Protestant party, agreed to enter into a power-sharing government with Sinn Féin.

For iOS, Ballmer called Apple's ecosystem "high-priced" and "highly controlled." He then noted that internationally, iPhones can cost up to $1000, a ridiculous price.
The CEO says he believes Microsoft can be successful with Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8, mixing the good of both superstar operating systems but working closely with developers and "doing it right."
Testing one of the company's phones, he exclaimed "Wow, it just works!" and then took a jab at Apple's iOS 6 Maps debacle.

Posted 2.26.2013
This spring, Case Western Reserve University will dip a toe into the rapidly expanding world of massive open online courses, or MOOCs, and Richard Boyatzis, PhD, Distinguished University Professor and H.R. Horvitz Professor in Family Business, is taking the lead.
Boyatzis' free online class, Inspiring Leadership through Emotional Intelligence, will begin on May 1, 2013, and will be six weeks long. It is the first MOOC to focus on leadership and will be offered through Coursera, a company that works with universities to set up their MOOCs. Watch Boyatzis talk about his class.
More about MOOCs
MOOCs are a relatively new development in online education. These classes are free to anyone who wishes to sign up, so classes may have thousands of students based anywhere in the world. A number of top universities offer MOOCs that contain the same depth and quality of information found in their on-ground and traditional online classes, and students who complete a course often get a certificate, although not college credit.
Boyatzis spoke to the Plain Dealer about the initiative and about the questions that surround the MOOC phenomenon. Will the cost of providing MOOCs outweigh any benefits for universities?
"It's almost too soon to know," Boyatzis told the Plain Dealer. "It's like Google or Amazon. Nobody knew for years whether they could make money on it." What is certain is that an enormous appetite exists for free, accessible education: 2.7 million students have participated in Coursera MOOCs since the company launched its first in April 2012.
Michael Scharf, associate dean for global legal studies at the CWRU School of Law, will also be offering a MOOC, Introduction to International Criminal Law, starting this spring.

Glass, cast, kilnformed, carved with battuto, sandblasteted, acid-etched
Maintaining focus is difficult for most of us at some time or other, so I wanted to share some interesting information that I came across while doing some reading because I thought it might be helpful to others.
One of the articles that I found helpful is Lori Woodward Simmons article "Out of Sight, Out of Mind" on Clint Watson's Fine Art Views (which I highly recommend). I thought Lori's method of staying focused should work well, particularly for artists. Lori discusses how most artists perform a lot of tasks during the day that are unrelated and that we often get sidetracked very easily. Her theme is that we, as artists, are visual; and if your work that you have to do that night or the next day is not right in front of your eyes, so that you can see it, it is completely out of your mind. I know this is true for me. She goes on to say that because we wear many hats as artists and business owners, we probably will not ever be able to "do it all", but that we can build powerful productivity habits if we get the "the real work out the night before, so that I see it first thing in the morning". Great article!
Most of us know the basic rules of how to stay focused and it is written about by Dave Cheong in his blog, but I don't think it hurts any of us to review these now and then, so here is another one at Michael Angier.
What did you think about these articles? I would love to hear in the comments.

Graduates of non-U.S. law schools may apply for admission to the J.D. program with Advanced Standing. Students may receive credit for up to one third of the required credits for the CUA J.D. from prior legal studies in a foreign country. The total amount of credit allowed will be determined on an individual basis. The ABA Standards for the Approval of Law Schools govern advanced standing credit for applicants who have graduated from foreign law schools. The course work in the foreign law school must have been done "in residence" at the foreign law school and CUA must be satisfied that the quality of the educational program at the foreign school was at least equal to that of an ABA approved law school.
Students who receive advanced standing credit must complete the remaining two-thirds of the work for the J.D. in residence at CUA.

Current Law Students / Re: THE "LAW" IS JUST SOME bull INVENTED BY PEOPLE. IT'S NOT A LEGITIMATE AC« on: September 25, 2006, 07:39:31 AM »
It doesn't matter .. that post is the best contribution made to this board by anyone.
I agree. You can thank me for that. Actually though, I think the posts that followed it were very good as well. These posts combined sum up pretty well the debate regarding whether law is a good profession to enter. See the link in my previous post.

The NCAA has denied Notre Dame safety Jamoris Slaughter a sixth year of eligibility.
Slaughter, who did not play as a freshman, tore his left Achilles tendon in the third game of the season, a 20-3 victory over Michigan State. He started 19 games in four seasons and played in 39, finishing with 98 tackles, two interceptions and two sacks.
Slaughter's injury forced the Irish to use sophomore Matthias Farley, a converted wide receiver, at safety. Farley finished eighth on the team with 49 tackles. He also had an interception. The Irish also lose senior safety Zeke Motta. The Irish return Nicky Baratti, who had eight tackles as a freshman, and signed four defensive backs in the incoming freshman class.
Slaughter has been invited to the NFL Combine.

But hey, here's a question for you, Fox Sports Arizona text poll writers: Who's firmly entrenched in third place in the NL East right now? It's not the Phillies, and it sure as hell isn't the Marlins. So shove it.

Clippers eliminated from wild-card race
David Huff and Frank Herrmann combined to pitch the Clippers past the Louisville Bats 2-0 tonight in Huntington Park.
Huff worked 7 2/3 innings of the shutout, turning the game over to Herrmann in the top of the eighth with two outs and runners on second and third. Herrmann shattered the bat of Devin Mesoraco, who popped to second baseman Cord Phelps to end the threat.
A pitching duel between Huff (7-6) and Chad Reineke of Louisville went through four scoreless innings before Columbus broke through in the bottom of the fifth.
Tim Fedroff led off with a double off the wall in right and went to third on a Gregorio Petit groundout. Cord Phelps broke up the shutout with an RBI single.
Vinny Rottino stepped in and chopped a ball in front of the plate. Catcher Devin Mesoraco pounded on it, but had to go to first to get Rottino. Jared Goedert drove in Phelps with a single to right to make the score 2-0.
The Pawtucket Red Soxswept a double-header today at Gwinnett 1-0 and 3-2 to eliminate the Clippers from the International League wild-card race to one..
Notes: The Cleveland Indians have shut down Clippers first baseman Lars Anderson (concussion) for the season. Toledo's Andrew Oliver hit Anderson in the batting helmet with a 95-mph fastball on Aug. 22."He is still having side-effects," Columbus manager Mike Sarbaugh said. Andersonremains with the team as of today. ... Pitcher Scott Maine joined the Clippers today. The Indians claimed him off waivers from the Chicago Cubs yesterday.
