LAWRENCE — Kansas defensive coordinator Dave Campo is a football man who made his bones as a defensive assistant for the Dallas Cowboys in their early 1990s zenith, parceling out schemes and advice to a consistent stream of stars and Pro Bowlers.
So it is both a blessing and a curse, perhaps, that when Campo searches for apt comparisons for his defensive players at Kansas, he generally throws out the names of players that are either already Pro Football Hall of Famers or decent candidates to be enshrined in Canton, Ohio.
Cornerbacks can be judged against Deion Sanders; pass-rushers may have traits similar to Charles Haley. And earlier this month, when Campo was searching for a guy to compare to KU junior nickel back Victor Simmons, he settled on former Cowboys safety Darren Woodson, a punishing playmaker.
It all can sound a little outlandish, of course. Simmons, a graduate of Olathe North, is a first-year starter on a KU defense that is attempting to claw out of the Big 12 cellar. He's made just one college start. And three years ago, he was more known for being a do-everything high school quarterback in the Sunflower League. So, yeah, Darren Woodson?
"He's a physical guy with speed," Campo says of Simmons, explaining the connection. So all of a sudden, he's more along the Woodson line."
Start with the size. In the early '90s, Campo once saw an undersized linebacker from Arizona State who looked like he had the skills to play safety in the NFL. That player was Woodson. Last year, his first at KU, Campo saw a college sophomore — 6 feet 1 and a chiseled 220 pounds — struggling to adjust from safety to linebacker. The player could run, hit and had the skills to cover — but he didn't quite have a position. That was Simmons.
"He's bounced around," KU coach Charlie Weis says. "Is he too big to play safety? Is he too small to play linebacker?"
While Simmons has profiled as a tweener, a few developments in the last year helped him find a spot on the starting defense as Kansas travels to Rice on Saturday for its first road game.
After absorbing a back-alley beating in the Big 12 last season, Weis elected to go with a base defensive scheme that features five defensive backs — including a nickel back. To fill the nickel role, KU needed a player who could help against the run while also covering receivers. Simmons, armed with his athleticism and newly acquired linebacker skills, fit the description.
"I was unfamiliar with linebacker," Simmons says. "But having a year under my belt of being a linebacker and the previous safety experience, it just made the nickel-back position … I guess perfect."
Aside from the size, Simmons isn't about to be described as Woodson-esque. But he did finish with a team-high eight tackles in KU's victory over South Dakota last week.
"I think the light's turned on for him," Campo said earlier this month. "Sometimes guys, when they don't feel like they're going to have a chance to play a lot, it's just human nature that you don't get the most out of them."
That might be the case, Simmons says. But the real change started to happen in the offseason, when he added 10 pounds of muscle working with KU strength coach Scott Holsopple. Weis would call Simmons a "man among boys" during fall camp, and from a basic eye test, it was hard to argue.
But one year after struggling to find the field, Simmons is most happy to be called a starter.
"I think the biggest difference between this year and last year is really confidence," Simmons said. "I put on some weight, and I feel like I've gotten a little faster. So I feel like confidence has definitely been a part of it."

Michael Bloomberg's Legacy
The New York mayor remade the city's schools.
As schools start to open across the nation, the back-to-school test in New York City will be taken in November, where Mayor Michael Bloomberg's departure opens the door to changes in the robust reform package he has implemented during his 12-year reign there. No city has been at the center of the public education reform discussion more than New York.
Though the soon-to-be-former mayor has implemented a number of popular initiatives like CitiBike, his favorite, education reform, has been the hardest sell. A recent Zogby poll, commissioned by the Manhattan Institute, found only 28 percent of city residents rate the city's schools "excellent" or "good." And the recent results on the Common Core assessments backed up these feelings.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the budget and deficit.]
Still, thanks to Bloomberg's leadership, New York City now tops the Brookings Institute's Education Choice and Competition Index for providing the most informative and consumer-relevant measure of the degree of choice and competition within large school districts. Or as Joe Williams, the executive director of Democrats for Education Reform, puts it in an email, "there are WAY more good choices for families today than when he first took office." What's more, the city currently boasts some of the best charter schools in the nation – as illustrated in a recent study by Stanford University's Center for Research on Educational Outcomes that shows charter school students gained an additional month of learning in reading and five additional months of learning in math compared with traditional public school students. This may explain why there are over 50,000 students on waiting lists for the 18,600 available charter school seats for this coming school year.
What's more, the city has raised high school graduation rates by nearly 40 percent while they've increased only 9 percent in the rest of the state. Finally, teacher evaluations have become more stringent, leading Bloomberg to proclaim that "New York City now has the strongest teacher evaluation system in the state, bar none." Even Michael Mulgrew, the president of the United Federation of Teachers, has praised the changes, stating "New York City teachers will now have additional protections and opportunities to play a larger role in the development of the measures used to rate them."
But Bloomberg's boldest move was making Joel Klein the chancellor of New York's schools – making it OK to appoint a tough, reform-minded school chief. Had it not been for Klein, we may not have had Michelle Rhee in D.C. And the national conversation around many of education's toughest challenges would still be in their infancy.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the Democratic Party.]
In only four weeks New York City will select its Democratic candidate for Mayor – and the winner is expected to sail into office in November. Few of the candidates have articulated how their vision will improve schools and student performance. As the New York-based education maven Eva Moskowitz recently lamented in the New York Times, "we have an educational crisis of monumental proportions, and yet we have mayoral candidates offering minuscule solutions to these problems. It is going to require a much bolder approach." (For an analysis of the candidates' views on education, see Gotham School's coverage.)
Whoever replaces Bloomberg will soon realize that his legacy of data driven decision making and accountability for student achievement is now embedded in the fabric of every school around the city. And that the national discussion around school reform has been elevated thanks to a leader who has not only introduced but implemented rigorous reforms.

ALCS Preview: A tale of two managersBy
When the Yankees and the Angels begin their ALCS series on Friday, the coverage on FOX is sure to center around the two men leading these teams. Mike Scioscia and Joe Girardi have a lot in common. They were both defensive-minded catchers known for playing hard and coming prepared. As managers, they both sport identical .556 winning percentages although the Angels' skipper has compiled his over ten seasons while Girardi has just three years of experience in the dugout.
The Angels, as we all know, play the Yankees hard. Including the post-season, the Angels are 53-38 against the Yanks since Scioscia assumed the managerial duties from Terry Collins and Joe Maddon after a fourth-place finish in 1999. As Ken Davidoff writes today, Scioscia is not intimidated by the Yankees. But what Major League manager would be intimidated by any of his opponents?
This year, Scioscia led his team to 97 victories, good for second best in the Major Leagues and six shy of the Yanks' mark. When these two teams faced off, they played to a draw. The Angels won four of the first six contest, and the Yanks won three of the last four. Yet, despite their respective successes, Mike Scioscia and Joe Girardi approach the game differently. We can see it in the way the Yankees draw more walks, hit more home runs and rely less on the small base approach embodied in bunting, stealing and hitting-and-running than the Angels do.
Offensively, the Angels' differing approach is clear from the get-go. The Yankees hit a franchise-record 244 home runs this year and slugged .478 as a team. The Angels hit 71 fewer home runs and slugged .441. Bobby Abreu and Chone Figgins both drew more than 90 walks, but only one other player on the team had an on-base percentage above .360. Of the Yanks' starting nine, only Melky Cabrera and Robinson Cano sported OBPs below that .360 mark. The Angels like to swing and run; the Yankees like to wait and mash.
Strategically, Scioscia takes advantage of his team's speed. He attempted 171 stolen bases this year, and his runners were successful 127 times good for a 74.2 percent success rate. Joe Girardi's Yankees meanwhile were better base runners but more cautious for it. The Yanks attempted 124 steals and were successful 101 times or 81.5 percent of the time. The Angels went 9 for 11 in double-steal situations while the Yanks were a perfect 4-for-4. Expect the Angels to test Jorge Posada when he is behind the dish during the series.
Scioscia will also play small ball far more often than the Yanks do. Joe Girardi asked his players to sacrifice 49 times this season, and 21 of those sac bunt attempts came with the pitcher batting during Interleague play. The Angels, meanwhile, tried to sacrifice 64 times with non-pitchers trying 41 times. Percentage-wise, 57 percent of Yankee bunts were by non-pitchers while 64 percent of Angels' bunt attempts were by non-pitchers. Scioscia will, in other words, play for one run.
Where this series may very well be decided, though, is in the bullpen. Joe Girardi made 461 pitching changes as compared to Scioscia's 434, and the Yankees got better results for it. Yankee relievers did not allow runs to score in 301 of those appearances or 65 percent of the time. The Angels, meanwhile, did not allow runs 62 percent of the time. While that pure difference is seemingly small, the Yanks' pen went 40-17 with a 3.91 ERA while the Angels' relievers were 27-23 with a 4.49 ERA. As Mike noted last night, the Anaheim pen is definitely a weakness.
And so those are the ALCS managers. Can Scioscia exploit the Angels' speed and small ball approach? Can Joe Girardi use his superior bullpen to leverage late-inning situations better than the Angels can? Can the Yanks' skipper win his chess game? These two men will take center stage over the next week, and we'll find out just whose strategy works best.

A tale of two umpires? Did you mean Managers?
Ah, there you go. It's early, i understand.
don't forget too that fuentes, while being solid this year blew i believe 2 saves to the yankees if i am not mistaken, one of which was a walkoff no?
fuentes was far from solid
he was shaky at best in my opinion
3.93 ERA and a 1.400 WHIP as a closer is not really what you want. That's the same WHIP Lidge put up in 2006 when he had Pujols haunting him
Strategically, Scioscia takes advantage of his team's speed. He attempted 171 stolen bases this year, and his runners were successful 127 times good for a 74.2 percent success rate.
Where did you get these numbers from? Baseball reference has the Angels with 148 stolen bases and 63 caught stealing, for a success rate of 70%.
Whatever the right numbers are, I don't think Scoscia is taking advantage of his team's speed. He's just running into more outs. The 70% success rate for steals is 21st in MLB (The Yankees by contrast have the 3rd best success rate).
espn has the same sb stats you referenced for the Angels. Also list the Yanks with 111 steals 28 CS for 80%. the angels might be running themselves into outs but they also had the most runners go from 1st to 3rd on singles of any team, so they are very aggressive on the bases and make the defense throw them out and you can bet on damon they will try to take the extra bag every time.
I'm not too worried about Damon. I'm confident that he can reach third from left field.
Yeah, he can reach third, but can he do it in time? Along with having a weak throwing arm, Damon usually takes a long time to get the ball out.
eh, the angels' speed thing is overrated when they only stole 26 more bases than the yanks. Yippee…. They have guys who will run, as do the yankees.
The key is to limiting the amount of times they are on base. I am tired of hearing this "first to third" notion, as the yankees were third in the league in productive outs behind the angels and red sox, but of course, no one will ever mention how good the yankees are at moving from first to third, right? The yanks were able to score in every way against the twins, and will do it again against the angels
Who cares how you score in the playoffs, as long as you keep on scoring. The yankees will score, its just they have to keep the pressure on the LAAAAAAA of CA of US and take games one and two before going back to anaheim.
The key in this series will be a-rod, who owns the angels, and especially that ballpark in anaheim. Their pitching, other than kazmir, isn't scaring anyone, and their bullpen is at or below average.
Let's hope the yanks don't have to let this series go anywhere past 5 or 6 games
With CC and Andy potentially pitching 5 of 7 games and Molina catching the other 2 it is not going to be so easy for the Angels to steal a lot of bases. I think there is actually a decent possibility that the Yankees will steal more bases than the Angels in this series, b/c their catchers are worse than Posada at throwing guys out.
Their pitching does not scare me either. Weaver's ERA is 2 runs higher on the road this year and he is a flyball pitcher. Not a recipe for success at YS. Also CC is definitely better than Lackey.
While the Angels overall swung the third least percentage in the AL(behind Boston and New York), they swung at the fifth most pitches out of the zone. So, it seems that when you can get the Angels to swing, they'll likely chase.
if we can figgins and abreu in check as far as being on base their running game is basically done and we should let Jete, Gardy and A-rod run on napoli and mathis all day since combined they were 70 for 80 in swiping bags this year.
keep figgins…
Just because the Yankees are playing a "running" team doesn't mean that they should start running free. Though the Yankees were more successful this year, it's because they were cautious about it. I'd rather the Yankees keep that patient approach on the basepaths than have them run for the sake of running and produce unnecessary outs.
While this Angels team is different that previous teams (in regards to more patience, less hackers as a whole) they still have a lot of that style left in them. That being said, I believe the reasons they were so successful against the Yankees in the past is because we didn't have very good pitching…and bad pitching plus hackers and speed = bad results. The Angels would lose to the Red Sox because they had much better pitching and good pitching plus hackers and speed = good results.
What doomed the Red Sox this year in the ALDS was their road numbers. If you look at their offensive numbers on the road…they are actually worse than the Pittsburgh Pirates are at home. So the Angels were able to play the Pittsburgh Pirates the first two games…and the Red Sox on the 3rd game…in which they won because they can hit on the road…and Papelbon is an overrated Bobby Jenks. The Red Sox still have good starting pitching and the Angels didn't score that much off of them (aside from Beckett).
The Yankees numbers at home and on the road are pretty consistent…and very good at that. I feel our starting pitching and bullpen can hold them down…while our hitting will be there as always. I worry about Johnny Damon and I sometimes wonder if some of the young bullpen arms will choke under the pressure…but we have some experienced guys too that are able to start…and close the door if necessary. The first two games are crucial…mainly because we'll probably have Chad Gaudin going up against Joe Saunders…who we haven't had that great of success against…
I actually don't think they start Gaudin. I would expect CC to go on 3 days rest in game 4. That would allow AJ, Andy and CC to pitch again on regular rest in games 5, 6, and 7 – and no fourth starter.
TBS constantly told us that the Twins do the little things right and have to fight for every run, yet they made two game-changing baserunning mistakes. I hope something similar happens with the Angels. I'm tired of sportscasters praising teams because it's hard for them to score runs.
very true…and its funny that Gardy gave the Yanks their due as well saying how they work hard and do all the little things right….Nobody said that about the Yanks all year, it was always about the money and the bludgeoning, but its an extremely sound baseball team
Nice analysis, this is my favorite kind of RAB post. Tons of numbers, and the rights ones to look at.
A read a post on Halos Heaven or whatever blog it is that said the Yankees bench is old.
Where did the perception that the Angels lineup has trouble against power pitching come from? I know it wasn't mentioned in this post but I've heard it before. They seemed to do well against Lester, Papelbon and Co. Anyone know where I can find the Angels' numbers vs power pitching/power fastballs?
I don't think what the managers do will have much of an effect in this series. The strategy is about 5% of it, in my book, the rest is player execution. Bobby Abreu helped the Angels a ton this season, but I don't think they are quite as good as their record suggests, and I don't think they will beat the Yankees this time.
[...] already taken a look at the managers, so let's move on to the guys that will set the tone each game, the starting [...]
Girardi is giving LaRussa a run for his money on the over managing. The list is endless. pulling Andy, Joba couldnt face Kubel, Molina, etc etc.
it would be smart to see our 3 best pitchers each get to pitch the most games so i agree with the idea of a three man rotation. I was at CC's start in game one of the ALDS and he feel behind the hitters alot but his stuff was so nasty that he could battle through it and ended up not walking anyone. as long as CC and AJ can throw strikes and not walk guys i like our chances. If they walk guys against the angels they will make you pay for it and it could cost you a game or the series. I think that this series will be a lot tougher than alot of yankee fans are making it out to be. so the yankees have the talent and the will to be the last team standing, of coarse…but that angels team is on a roll and are playing with some extra motivation for Nick Adenheart. I think it will be an amazing series, but im not thinking that it will be an easy one thats for sure.
p.s. i couldnt be happier for Arod and i hope he keeps it up, the stadium went nuts when he came through in game one and now he seems to have the fans on his side, its awesome to see.
[...] ALCS on Friday evening, we'll take our time previewing the series. We've already done the managers and the starters. Now to the [...]

Chef's salad
Henrico man earns honor in homeland
Last month, as local veterans polished medals, buffed boots and starched uniforms in preparation for Memorial Day services, Paul Elbling left his Henrico home for a May 8 decoration ceremony.
Like recent holiday occasions in Sandston and at Fort Harrison National Cemetery, Elbling's event was long on red, white and blue and "The Star Spangled Banner" – even if lacking in small-town marching bands and Sousa music. But then, Elbling had hopped a trans-Atlantic flight to attend the ceremony – which took place in Blotzheim, France.
To Richmonders who know him as "Chef Paul," the owner and culinary artiste of La Petite France, it might come as a surprise to learn of Elbling's 18 months as a paratrooper and nurse in the French Algerian War. But as a 19-year-old in the French Army, Elbling rode ambulances around combat zones collecting the wounded, and made more than 100 jumps getting to the sites.
On his last jump in 1962, attempting to evacuate more injured, he was shot in the leg while still aloft. "Which is against the Geneva Convention," he says grimly, adding that he barely noticed the shock of his own wound.
"I was more concerned about my friend," he recalls, going on to describe the sight of a fellow paratrooper who had taken a much more serious hit. His friend did not survive.
After three weeks in the hospital, and additional time in therapy at a convalescent center, Elbling eventually returned to his culinary calling.
First medals were for cooking
Even though he was winning honors for his cooking by age 18 (a Gold Medal in culinary competition in Strasbourg), becoming a chef was actually Elbling's second-choice career. At age 12, he entered the seminary and studied for the priesthood two years before changing course and getting into the restaurant business. He jokes today that his decision was best for all concerned.
"When I went in the seminary," Elbling says with a laugh, "my older brother slapped my shoulder and said, 'Paul, if you become a priest one day, I will be the pope!' And I was afraid that my brother might be the pope!"
Beginning with an apprenticeship at a local restaurant as a young teen, Elbling embarked on a career that took him to, among others, the famous Carlton Hotel in Cannes, France, and the Georges V Hotel in Paris. As an apprentice, he worked 90-hour weeks with a dozen peers to help 57 cooks.
"[At one restaurant] we had a huge stove, the length of the dining room," he recalls, noting that the massive fixture connected to the water pipes supplying the hotel above. "We had to be down there every day at 5:30 a.m. to clean the stove – so the hotel residents would have hot water."
Two years after becoming a chef in the resort city of Baden-Baden, Germany, Elbling earned his European Master Chef Degree. That same year, driving near his home in the Alsace region of France, he met his wife-to-be, Marie Antoinette.
"On the road, she passed me going very fast. She made a fishtail!" he says, tracing the car's near spin-out with a gesture. Indignant, Elbling caught up with Marie at the next stoplight. "I got out of my car and gave her hell," he says.
Marie began crying. "It's my birthday," she told the stranger. "I'm going to my birthday party and I'm in a hurry. . . Would you like to come?"
After the couple married, they came to America in 1967, fulfilling a dream Elbling had had since he was five years old. He had never forgotten the Americans who liberated his family from a German labor farm in 1945. "They gave us Hershey bars and Spam," he says, describing the menu as if it were a sumptuous gourmet repast. "[Spam] was the first meat I'd ever had.
"Now when I go hunting or fishing, I always take a can of Spam," he adds. "It brings a good memory."
When the Elbling family returned home from the labor farm, they found their house bombed. Lt. Joe O'Neill of Chicago, who then drove the family to Paul's grandparents' house to live, kept in touch for years afterwards. He helped Elbling with the paperwork that allowed him to move to America, but passed away before the process was finalized.
"Otherwise," says Elbling, "I'd be in Chicago today."
Guinness world records
After three years in Washington, D.C., where he served as chef in the Restaurant Chez Francois and the Washington Hotel, the Elblings moved to metro Richmond. Since establishing La Petite France, Paul Elbling has compiled a lengthy resume of honors, including Richmond Small Businessman of the Year (1982), Restaurateur of the Year from the Virginia Restaurant Association (1985), Academy Award of the Restaurant Industry, and the Great American Chef's Award.
He has also been cited for excellence in Southern Living and Gourmet Magazine and earned several records in the Guinness Book of World Records, including one for the world's largest omelet (10,470 eggs), world's largest ice carving and longest sandwich.
All the Guinness stunts were charity benefits, and he continues to be a frequent contributor of auction items (the latest a dinner for 10, prepared at the buyer's home) for non-profits such as the Maymont Foundation and Heart Fund. For another favorite charity, Little Sisters of the Poor, Elbling has helped raise more than $1 million. He also thoroughly enjoys getting monthly letters from two youngsters in Appalachia "adopted" through Children, Inc.
Among his proudest accomplishments, however, was founding the Virginia Chefs Association apprenticeship program. His first apprentice remains at La Petite France with him 35 years later.
"He would never leave," Elbling jokes.
Another one of his most satisfying achievements was winning two gold medals for the United States in the 1980 International Culinary Olympiques.
"When we got the gold medal," he recalls, "my old chef from the George V – 83 years old – was there watching, and he had tears in his eyes."
Elbling was equally emotional as French officials awarded him four medals – what military types jokingly refer to as a "fruit salad" of colorful ribbons -- for his wartime medical service at the recent ceremony in Blotzheim.
"What was very impressive about this was my brother, a retired general, was the one pinning on the medal," he says. "And the kids [of Blotzheim] came with American flags, and they played the [American] anthem.
"I had tears in my eyes."
The medals, soon to be mounted on the wall of his home off River Road, recall for Elbling the cherished memory of a conversation in 1970, when he and Marie returned to France to be at the bedside of his dying mother.
"She was always very jovial," Elbling says of his mother. "First, she told my wife, 'Marie Antoinette, Paul is a good boy, but keep him on a leash!' [Marie] hasn't forgotten that!" he says with a laugh.
Then his mother turned to him and said, "I am so happy for you. Your dream has come true."
"We wouldn't go back [to France] for anything," Elbling concludes emphatically.
"We love it here."

Is there an Echo in here?
'Earth to Echo' aims to become this generation's 'ET'
It's no secret that all found-footage genre movies are the same. Grab a couple of characters, give one of them a camera, and expose them to something supernatural that's content to lurk just off-screen until the last five minutes. Everything else will just fall into place.
But that formula isn't particularly family friendly, if only because that thing waiting a few feet to the left of the cast is usually plotting their violent doom.
That's what sets Earth to Echo apart from the pack. It, too, follows a group of characters armed with a camera and a tendency to encounter unknown life forms. But all those familiar parts have been rearranged just enough to make it suitable for a much younger audience. > Read more.

A 35-year-old Lizella man, paying his respects following a death in his childs maternal family, died early Sunday morning after being shot multiple times in the Village Green neighborhood of south Macon.
Steve Demond Johnson was pronounced dead at 5761 Frederica Place following the shooting that occurred shortly after 2 a.m., Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones said. He was lying in the doorway, Jones said. This is a domestic issue.
Johnson, who lived on Smith Chapel Road in west Bibb County, was visiting a grieving family on the street that runs between Leone and Deeb drives, Jones said.
Albert Moore Jr., whose father and namesake died days ago, said his niece was the mother of the victims toddler. Johnsons child and siblings were on the sofa when he was shot. Moores sister was at the kitchen table, he said.
We were already grieving now because my dad just passed. We were having a send off for my dad, Moore said.
His nieces current boyfriend reportedly had words with Johnson, according to a news release from the Macon Police Department.
He came over here just because the babys daddy was over here paying his respects, and came over and killed him, Moore said. It really doesnt make sense for somebody to do something like that.
The gunman got away, but investigators identified him, according to a lookout posted Sunday morning.
Anyone with information on the killing is urged to call Macon police at 751-7500 or Macon Regional CrimeStoppers at (877) 68-CRIME.

Email Jim Herlinger:
Jim Herlinger begins his third year as head coach of the Lady Cat track team. The 2009 team began the turn around of the struggling program. Competing in four invitational track meets, the program had one individual qualifier for the WVIAC Championships.
The 2010 team added four indoor invitationals to the four outdoor invitational meets, qualifying eight team members in 13 events for the WVIAC Championships. Along the way, the team broke one indoor school record and two outdoor school records. At the conference championships, every qualifying member placed or scored a personal-best time.
The 2011 squad looks to continue the improvement, as the team will expand the roster to include competitors in events not represented in meets.
Herlinger began his coaching career at Pitt-Johnstown in 1974 as an assistant coach to Clyde Horner with the men's soccer team after graduating from Slippery Rock University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Health and Physical Education. One year later, Herlinger took over the reins of the program when Horner focused on developing the Pitt-Johnstown women's basketball program.
Herlinger left Pitt Johnstown in 1976 and returned to Slippery Rock to pursue his master's degree in Physical Education and assist Hall of Fame soccer coach Jim Egli.
Herlinger, a 1970 graduate of Richland High School, has more than 35 years of soccer coaching experience on every level from recreation and travel clubs to high school and college. He started boys and girls high school programs in both Virginia and North Carolina and was one of the co-founders of the first youth soccer program in the Greater Johnstown area. That program developed into Region 142 of the AYSO. Collegiately, Herlinger was the head soccer coach and men's athletic director at Wheeling (WV) College from 1981-83, the assistant head coach at Division I Appalachian State (NC) University in 1980-81 and an assistant coach at Gannon University from 1984-86.
Herlinger also coached tennis at Warren Wilson in 1979, was an assistant coach with the Nottoway High School (VA) and West Johnston wrestling programs from 1996-2006, and coached football at Nottoway in 1996 and 1999.
In 2004, Herlinger
stepped out of coaching when asked to take over an administrative role as Testing Coordinator at a high school in North Carolina.
Two years later, Herlinger moved back north to assist with the care of his aging parents. Richland High School's football field, Herlinger Field, was named after his late father.
has two grown sons, Logan and Gabriel, who both reside in Pittsburgh.

How and where and when did the Forgotten Realms start? What's at the heart of Ed Greenwood's creation, and how does the Grand Master of the Realms use his own world when he runs D&D adventures for the players in his campaign? "Forging the Forgotten Realms" is a weekly feature wherein Ed answers all those questions and more.
They'd crept into the castle in the proverbial dead of night, using magic to reach the battlements and painstaking stealth to venture from those windswept heights to here, where they were supposed to meet the spy who would pass them the documents.
Except that something had obviously gone wrong. Instead of a lone figure slipping in to meet them, there were two people in the library—a young noblewoman and a courtier eloquently trying to persuade her to accept his love.
Which one was the spy? Or was the spy neither of them, but someone else in the castle who hadn't dared enter the library with all the flirtatious murmurings going on?
The PCs could only wait, and hope for a chance to either meet the spy or withdraw undetected.
The players around the gaming table had grimly decided as much, obviously feeling the tension I was trying my darnedest to engender, as the slow, deliberate footfalls of patrolling guards sounded in the passage outside, a courtier with a dog hastened purposefully through this wing of the castle, and—
With a terrific crash, a myconid guard burst through the window!
As leaded glass panes flew everywhere in shards, guards rushed in to hack apart the unexpected arrival, and lights were kindled all around. The PCs had to try to hide their faces as they fought their way hastily out, while the castle was roused around them, and . . .
Well, the characters got away, but without having contacted the spy, and they were glum in the knowledge that arranging any later meeting was going to be much harder. Rallying after our usual break for chips and dip and green tea, they demanded of each other: Why had what the noblewoman screamingly called "a mushroom man" smashed through the window? What was a myconid doing in the windy night sky outside a high window in a castle that fell away in a sheer drop for hundreds of feet, down into a noisome (and reputedly monster-haunted) moat? How was it able to move violently in a horizontal direction, when it can't fly and there was nowhere to jump off from within three miles?
I sipped tea and tried to look interested but noncommittal, with nothing remotely like a smile finding its way anywhere near my face.
Oh, this was an instance of the DM toying with the players, all right. But not to be nasty, or anything of the sort. There was a sensible explanation for the violent arrival of the myconid, all worked out in advance (the invisible, high-in-midair mouth of a long-forgotten gate/portal, as it happens) . . . but it was more than likely that the PCs would never learn it. My players know me well, so they weren't accusing me of doing something erratic and unbelievable just for the fun of it, or to derail their careful plans just because I could—but to someone else it might certainly seem that way, because it wasn't the first "unsolved mystery" of the Realms that just happened, without anyone knowing why.
I love mysteries. I think no roleplaying campaign can have too many of them, as long as the players never feel bewildered, or get the feeling that the DM is a deliberate and malicious opponent rather than merely the director of the unfolding entertainment who has sent some challenges their way. I like intrigues and old, unsolved family mysteries and "never seen agains" and hauntings—and I like low and high criminals at work around the PCs and often using the characters as protective camouflage (or dupes to be framed) for the crimes.
Here's a lovely example of such misdirection. In an old Edgar Wallace "Mister J. G. Reeder" short story, a thug whom Reeder helped to put in jail gets out when his sentence is done and threatens to take bloody revenge. The mild-mannered but brilliant Reeder turns the tables by meeting repeatedly with the thug—and having the police arrest other criminals shortly after every meeting, so eventually the other criminals start to think the thug is informing on them, and they take care of him themselves. (Short stories and novels can provide scores of plots, elements, and notions a DM can use in play—as long as the players don't peruse the same library the DM does!)
But let's return to the unexplained mushroom man. I knew how and why that unfortunate myconid guard had come through that window just then, but it was up to the PCs, if they cared to, to find out for themselves.
And here's the important thing: If they come up with a richer, more interesting, and more useful explanation than my original one, I would be perfectly happy to toss mine aside and adopt theirs. Arriving at that explanation gives them the gratification of having puzzled it out or forced the truth out of someone or otherwise done it themselves. That's what matters to players—outwitting the dragon or the king (or the situation) in some clever manner, or duping the local master of thieves and living to boast about it, not slaying their three-thousand-and-sixth goblin.
Boy, did my players cudgel their wits (figuratively speaking) trying to figure out where that mushroom man had come from, and why. It was a measure of how much the episode bothered them that the next time they faced spells from a known wizard foe, they wondered aloud if he might magically hurl mushroom men at them. Which in turn was my cue to start having lone mushroom men show up where the PCs would notice the myconid but not be able to reach it (for instance, walking along a busy city street past a building's window while the PCs were inside being lectured by local Watch officers, or praying at a temple, or the like). Not all the time, of course; just often enough to make my players stare at me and then at each other and ask aloud, "What is it with the mushroom men?"
Maybe someday I'll tell them . . . if they don't tell me first.
About the Author
Ed Greenwood is the man who unleashed the Forgotten Realms setting on an unsuspecting world. He works in libraries, and he writes fantasy, science fiction, horror, mystery, and romance stories (sometimes all in the same novel), but he is happiest when churning out Realmslore, Realmslore, and more Realmslore. He still has a few rooms in his house in which he has space left to pile up papers.

Visclosky is seeking his 13th term in the heavily Democratic district he has represented since 1984. He faces Republican Mark Leyva, a union carpenter, for the fourth straight time and has won with at least two-thirds of the vote in the previous elections.
District 2
Candidates - Democrat: Joe Donnelly (incumbent); Republican: Luke Puckett; Libertarian: Mark Vogel
Donnelly defeated
two-term Republican Rep. Chris Chocola in 2006 with 54 percent of the vote.

District 3
Candidates - Republican: Mark Souder (incumbent); Democrat: Michael Montagano; Libertarian: William Larsen
Souder faces a potentially tough challenge from Montagano, a 27-year-old attorney, to keep the seat he first won in 1994. Souder has typically won with more than 60 percent of the vote but was held to 54 percent in 2006, and national Democrats have been spending heavily in support of Montagano.

APA style
American Psychological Association (APA) style is an academic format specified in The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, a style guide that offers academic authors guidance on various subjects for the submission of papers to the publications of APA.[1] The APA states that the guidelines were developed to assist reading comprehension in the social and behavioral sciences, for clarity of communication, and for "word choice that best reduces bias in language".[2][3] The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association contains guidelines on many aspects of academic writing as it is regarded as appropriate by the APA. Among the topics covered are information on the structure of research papers of various kinds, spelling rules, an author-date reference style, construction of tables and graphs, plagiarism, formatting of papers, and much more.
APA style is widely used, either entirely or with modifications, by hundreds of other scientific journals (including medical and other public health journals), in many textbooks, and in academia (for papers written in classes). Along with AMA style and CSE style, it is one of the major style regimes for such work. Many publications have small local style guides that cascade over AMA, APA, or CSE style in a way analogous to how inline styles in HTML cascade over CSS styles (for example, "follow APA style unless otherwise specified herein" or "for issues not addressed herein, follow APA style").
Early editions[edit]
The Publication Manual was established in 1929 as a seven-page document with a set of procedures to increase the ease of reading comprehension (APA, 2009a, p. xiii).[4] Created under the sponsorship of the United States National Research Council, its originators included psychologists, anthropologists, and publishing professionals.
In 1952, the booklet was expanded and published as a 55-page supplement in Psychological Bulletin with revisions made in 1957 and 1967 (APA, 1952, 1957, 1967).[5][6][7] The first edition covered word choice, grammar, punctuation, formatting, journal publication policies, and "wrapping and shipping" (APA, Council of Editors, 1952, p. 442).
In response to the growing complexities of scientific reporting, subsequent editions were released in 1974, 1983, 1994, and 2001. Primarily known for the simplicity of its reference citation style, the Publication Manual also established standards for language use that had far-reaching effects. Particularly influential were the "Guidelines for Nonsexist Language in APA Journals," first published as a modification to the 1974 edition, which provided practical alternatives to sexist language then in common usage.[8][9] The guidelines for reducing bias in language have been updated over the years and presently provide practical guidance for writing about race, ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation, and disability status (APA, 2009, pp. 70–77; see also APA, 2009b).[10]
Sixth edition of the Publication Manual[edit]
The sixth edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association was released in July 2009 after four years of development. The Publication Manual Revision Task Force of the American Psychological Association established parameters for the revision based on published criticism, user comments, commissioned reviews, and input from psychologists, nurses, librarians, business leaders, publishing professionals, and APA governance groups (APA, 2007a, 2007b).[11][12] To accomplish these revisions, the Task Force appointed working groups of four to nine members in seven areas: Bias-Free Language, Ethics, Graphics, Journal Article Reporting Standards, References, Statistics, and Writing Style (APA, 2009, pp. xvii–xviii).
The APA explained the issuing of a new edition only eight years after the fifth edition by pointing to the increased use of online source or online access to academic journals (6th edition, p. xv). The sixth edition is accompanied by a web presence.
Errors in the first printing of the sixth edition[edit]
Despite multiple reviews of the manuscript at the copy-editing and proof-reading stages by senior editors, staff realized, shortly after the manual had gone to press, that the sample papers contained multiple errors. Among the detected errors were:
- In 188 style guidelines, two errors were made, and one of these was a punctuation error.
- In almost 1,000 examples provided to illustrate those rules, 36 errors were made (roughly half of these occurred in the sample papers, which were subsequently corrected and posted online). Another 10 occurred in the 374 examples that were provided in the reference chapter.
- Five clarifications to text were made. These were not errors, but rather clarified and expanded text, for example, adding a second example for both a blog post and a blog comment.
- Three pages of nonsignificant typographical errors were corrected. These included such things as changing an em dash to an en dash, changing a minus sign to a hyphen, and correcting for added space that was automatically added when a sample form was reproduced.
In the interest of transparency (and following the same procedure that was followed for the fifth edition), staff posted all of the corrections online in a single document on October 1, 2009, and shortly thereafter alerted users to the existence of the corrections in an APA blog entry.[13] On the same day the corrections were posted, an individual posting to the Educational and Behavioral Sciences Section mailing-list (EBBSS-L) of the American Library Association alerted readers to what she described as the "many" errors in the first printing, and speculated that "some but not all" would be corrected in a second printing. On October 5, 2009, APA staff responded to the note, clarifying that errors were found in the sample papers, that the papers had been corrected and posted online, that the substantive guidance in the manual was correct and accurate as printed, and that a full list of corrections could be found at the APA Style website.[14] Nevertheless, APA refused initially to exchange submitted erroneous books of the first with corrected versions of the second printing.
On October 13, 2009, the article "Correcting a Style Guide" was published in the online newspaper Inside Higher Ed that included interviews with several individuals who defined the errors as "egregious" (Epstein, 2009).[15] The article, along with rumors spread on various mailing-lists, resulted in exaggerated accounts of both the magnitude and the extent of the errors, with some reports on Amazon.com claiming more than 80 pages of errors had occurred. APA responded to the increasing confusion by issuing an apology, and implementing a return/replacement program for purchasers who wished to exchange their first-printing copies for second-printing copies of the Publication Manual. The first-edition copies returned to APA were destroyed. The second and all subsequent printings of the Publication Manual have been fully corrected.

Why Uganda's anti-homosexuality bill does not chime with World AIDS Day 2009
The protection of human rights is fundamental to combating the global HIV epidemic. Violations against human rights fuel the spread of HIV, putting marginalized groups such as injecting drug users, homosexuals and sex workers at a higher risk of infection. By promoting individual human rights, new infections can be prevented and people who have HIV can live free from discrimination.
However, human rights may not mean anything in Uganda at the moment, as people are still in shock at Hon. Bahati's Anti-Homosexuality Bill which was tabled in parliament on 14 October 2009, and is currently before the Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee.Read more.
