AVON LAKE, Ohio — Dave Dlugosz was content with being an assistant coach, still involved with the game he loves but detached from the rigors of being a head football coach.
That was until the program he loves was in need of some stability.
When Larry Laird left Avon Lake to take the head coach job at Strongsville last month, it caught those involved with the program, including Dlugosz, off guard. In need of a leader with short time to find one, the Shoremen turned to the familiar face of a man who led the program for 21 years before stepping down after the 2012 season.
"What I was most concerned about was our kids being left hanging," said Dlugosz, 62, who was approved to fill Avon Lake's head coach vacancy at Tuesday's school board meeting.
"I didn't want them to necessarily have to go into a new coaching search. I was concerned with the consistency of the coaching staff."
If Avon Lake was looking for consistency, the program found it in Dlugosz, who went 200-44 as a head coach in his first stint with the Shoremen, guiding the program to 15 playoff appearances and the Division II state championship in 2003.
He stepped down from his position as head coach after the 2012 season, but coached the offensive line and linebackers under Laird last year.
Dlugosz said last year's coaching staff remained intact, but it won't all be the same for the Shoremen in 2014 with former Midview head coach Bill Albright stepping into the offensive coordinator's role. Albright, 59, coached the Middies for 28 seasons before stepping down in December.
"I always had a desire to keep coaching, it just wasn't at the head coaching position anymore," Albright said. "I fielded some opportunities and talked to some people, but didn't really make a decision until Dave called. It really intrigued me. Avon Lake is such a tradition-rich program."
Neither Dlugosz nor Albright would say whether their 2014 posts would serve as a stopgap to help Avon Lake find a long-term replacement for 2015 and beyond.
"We kinda left that up in the air," Dlugosz said. "We wanted to try to maintain the staff, that's always been a strength of Avon Lake. That's where we're at right now, and we'll reevaluate that thing once the season is over."
In the meantime, Dlugosz and Albright are having fun putting a plan together for 2014. They're tasked with finding a way to mesh Dlugosz' hard-nosed running style with Albright's spread attack, and both coaches are relishing the opportunity.
"It's been fun," Albright said. "Dave and I have met quite a bit already and I think you'll see a mix of Midview and Avon Lake in the offensive thinking."
The once-retired coaches are excited to be back at it.
"I'm reenergized," Dlugosz said. "I'm 62, but I feel like I'm 45."

First, this is a recommendation from the Chairman for approval of the merger, albeit conditional.
Second, there is this from an LA Times article:
There are many conditions in Genachowski's proposed order. So far I can't on line find a copy of what he circulated to the other FCC members Thursday. So it appears all we can read is news articles about a "leaked" copy.
Specifically, one condition would require Comcast to provide its programming to an online video service if rivals such as Walt Disney Co.'s ABC or News Corp.'s Fox were also feeding content to it.
That could be a bitter pill for Comcast to swallow because it would prefer to control its own programming rather than be forced to help competitors — such as Netflix or Google TV — build their businesses.

Sister Nuala Kenny will be speaking on issue tonight at Confederation Centre
© Submitted photo
Sister Nuala Kenny
The Roman Catholic Church still needs to have an open and honest discussion about sex abuse scandals, says a high profile sister of the church and pediatrician.
Sister Nuala Kenny said the church's denial and secrecy over the scandals has caused it to lose credibility in speaking to society not only about the crisis, but also on larger issues of child pornography and human trafficking.
"These are global issues and my church needs to speak to those atrocities," she said. "But right now, part of the loss of trust we're experiencing makes us not credible."
She will be speaking about the topic, "Healing the Church: Lessons from the Clergy Abuse Crisis", during a presentation at the Confederation Centre of the Arts tonight. The presentation is sponsored by the Saint Dunstan's University Board of Governors.
Kenny was the pediatrician on the five-person Winter Commission enquiry of St. John's, N.L. in 1989 and 1990.
Now considered a landmark report in the history of clergy abuse, Kenny said the commission pointed out that while there were individual factors throughout the priest offenders, the crisis was also characterized by denial and secrecy in the church.
"For something like this to go on for as long as it had, you have to start looking at the culture of the organization," she said. "Quite clearly, they (the Roman Catholic Church) are in total contradiction to anything Jesus Christ said or did."
The report was early in the public revelation of child abuse as a social problem.
After her work with the commission, Kenny went back to her career as a pediatrician and stayed largely out of the clergy abuse issue. That was until the 2009 arrest of Raymond Lahey, who was the Roman Catholic Bishop Emeritus of the Diocese of Antigonish.
"When I heard the reason of his arrest, importation of child pornography, I had a flashback to Newfoundland and the terrible pain and suffering that occurred there," Kenny said.
She said while she felt the commission had identified some of the underlying issues, members also didn't think the crisis would continue going on as it has.
"We identified them (issues) and assumed church leadership would take care of them. Then I realized part of the problem, with any organization, is it resists fundamental change and critique. Particularly when the critique is of moral failure."
Kenny said her question now is what the church's response to the crisis says about itself and followers. She added that her discussions are not to open old wounds on individual offences but to look at the problem in the church as a whole, comparing it to a medical misdiagnosis.
"They (the church) are not getting to the heart of why we behaved the way we did," she said.
Kenny, who is also a leading Canadian ethicist, has authored a book on the issue, "Healing the Church".
She has worked in the departments of pediatrics at Dalhousie and Queens Universities and has also served as director of medical education at the Hospital for Sick Children and the University of Toronto and as chief of pediatrics at the IWK in Halifax. She was also the founding chair of the Department of Bioethics of Dalhousie Faculty of Medicine and served as the deputy minister of health in Nova Scotia.
During her visit to P.E.I., Kenny will also speak to health-care professionals on the subject of spirituality in modern health care. She will also share a presentation titled "Thoughts on Academia and Faith" with SDU scholars and representatives of the UPEI Department of Religious Studies and campus ministry.
Tonight's lecture will begin at 7:30 p.m. and is open to the public. While admission is free, tickets are required and may be obtained by calling the Confederation Centre Box Office at 1-902-566-1267 or toll free, 1-800-565-0278.

As the piece notes, those numbers were "well behind the 6.5 million viewers that tuned into Lifetime's Steel Magnolias remake earlier this fall as well as the 5.8 million for Drew Peterson: Untouchable back in January."
In "Liz & Dick" a miscast Lohan played Elizabeth Taylor, and an underwhelming Grant Bowler played Richard Burton. Critics were, not surprisingly, unmoved. MTV has a round-up of reactions, including Entertainment Weekly's Ken Tucker, who described it as a "dinky, tin-eared production."
Tim Goodman, of the Hollywood Reporter, wrote, "It should come as no great surprise that Lifetime's 'Liz & Dick' movie starring Lindsay Lohan is spectacularly bad. After all, it's Lohan, more memorable in the tabloids than she ever was as an actress."
The Huffington Post's Maureen Ryan was equally dismissive: "'Liz and Dick' is badly paced, cheap-looking and encrusted with a tinkly, preposterous soundtrack that is designed to make viewers go insane. It's also littered with exposition-heavy segments in which Liz and Dick reminisce about their past, perhaps from beyond the grave."
Personally, I only lasted about halfway through, and had to stop watching because its badness wasn't even so-bad-it's-good. It was just flatly bad, and the stunt casting of Lohan made me squirm. She wasn't giving a performance, she was modeling costumes, wigs and heavy eye makeup. The longer "Liz & Dick" went on, the more apparent it seemed to me, anyway, that the only reason to cast Lohan was for her tabloid notoriety, and the entertainment value of that is long since expired. If casting Lohan was a cynical move designed to draw eyeballs and derision, it was only halfway successful.

Just as the sun began to set at Gettysburg on July 2 - when Union General Winfield Scott Hancock ordered a general charge with fresh troops and pushed the Confederates back from having nearly broken the Union line - the eastern sky turned the hue of wet slate Tuesday, and a vivid complete double rainbow appeared over the Pennsylvania Monument, near where the Confederates were stopped exactly 150 years before.
The rainbow lasted about five minutes - long enough for exclamations, shutter clicks and more than a single shiver of eerie coincidence - and then slowly dispersed.
Moments later, the sun set spectacularly amid storm clouds behind the old Confederate line.

HIGH TECH 14, McNAIR 0
Erica Colon pitched her fifth no-no of the season, and batted 3-for-4 with three RBI, and Jennifer Martinez and Angie Nieves also went 3-for-4, as High Tech trounced McNair to clinch the HCIAA Seglio regular season title at North Hudson Park's Durotest Field in North Bergen.

KiD CuDi is not the happiest man these days. Taking his frustrations to Twitter, the G.O.O.D. Music rapper expressed his discontent with his label over radio airplay. Complaining about his songs not receiving spins despite their millions of views on VEVO, Cudder compared the stats of "Just What I Am" and "King Wizard" to similarly-viewed videos including Trinidad James's "All Gold Everything."
"King Wizard 3.4 million views on Vevo, Just What I Am has 4.3 million and my shit is not on regular rotation on radio. Hmmm," he tweeted. "Trinidad James got 4.1 million views on his hit (rightfully so), and I hear that jam EVERYWHERE. Wheres my fuckin spins???"
This led him to send out an ultimatum to his label, Universal Republic.
"To my label, I swear to all that is fuckin holy in this world, if things dont change soon, theres gonna be some problems"
This also refers to his upcoming offering Indicud.
"I worked too hard on all this shit. Producing, writing, directing AND executing the shit proper. I did my part, I put in work. Wtf," he said. "Yall kno I cuts no slack. Not w my music. Every song is my life. A piece of my fuckin tormented soul. It matters to me. I give a fuck."
This is just the latest case of CuDi being unhappy with his label dealings. After the release of 2011's WZRD, he aired out Universal for only shipping 55,000 physical copies and rushing him through the recording process.

BIDDER 70 follows Tim DeChris to pher, a University of Utah student, who on Dec. 19, 2008, in a dazzling act of civil disobedience, derailed the outgoing Bush administration's illegal and ill advised, Bureau of Land Management oil and gas auction. As Bidder #70, Tim bid 1.8 million dollars and won 22,000 pristine acres surrounding Utah's National Parks with no intention to pay or drill.
In February 2009, the new Obama administration agreed the land should be safeguarded and invalidated the entire auction. Nevertheless, Tim was indicted on two federal felonies with penalties of up to ten years in prison. Tim's life has been forever altered by the actions he took on Dec. 19, 2008. Bidder 70 is a personal portrait that illuminates how the choices we make determine our future and the world in which we live.
The film features Robert Redford, Terry Tempest Williams and our own Bill McKibben, among others. We will be bringing Beth and George Gage, the film's director and producer to Manchester to present the movie and then discuss what actions we can take, as a community, to support this courageous action as Tim is serving his jail sentence.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The upper level of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge remains closed in both directions following an early-morning collision between two-tractor trailers.
Traffic remains at a standstill across the Staten Island Expressway to the Goethals Bridge, and also along the service roads and local streets, according to motorists stuck in the traffic and reports on 1010 WINS.
The accident has also created massive residual traffic along the services roads and local streets headed toward the Expressway.
Six people were injured in the 6:10 a.m. collision -- two with serious, but not life-threatening injuries.The remaining four victims suffered minor injuries.
An accident investigation is under way.

FRANKLIN TWP. — Saturday afternoon signaled the beginning of a new and better period of one family of four's lives thanks to Habitat for Humanity.
The international organization dedicated to finding, developing and building affordable homes for low-income families dedicated its newest Gloucester County project to a single mother in Franklin Township.
After eight long months of preparation and building, Saddiqque Parrish and her three children are now living comfortable in a one-story, four bedroom house in Franklinville after living in a one-bedroom apartment with her sister in Lindenwold.
"She worked tirelessly to make sure this house got done, said Anthony Isabella, the Executive Director of the Gloucester County branch of Habitat for Humanity.
After breaking ground on the site in October 2012, Parrish, along with volunteers from Rowan University, Kingsway High School and University of Pennsylvania among others, the team was able to finish the job in May of this year.
Saturday's dedication of the house to Parrish starts a new era in her family, as she is the first in her family to own a home.
"I don't know how to explain it," said Parrish. "I still don't think it's real."
"Maybe it will feel more real after I make my first payment," she added.
Parrish admitted that the process was a long one with a lot of work on top of her already busy schedule of working a full-time job at night and raising her three children.
That hard work and dedication is one that Isabella emphasized is part of the core behind projects like Parrish's new home.

Associated Press
USA Curling chief operating officer Rick Patzke told The Associated Press the decision was made by coach Phill Drobnick in a team meeting Thursday night.
The typically dependable Shuster, a bronze medalist in Turin four years ago, has struggled with his shot-making all tournament. Alternate Chris Plys will skip the team against France, with vice skip Jason Smith throwing the last stone.
"For this game he is sitting out," Patzke said. "We support their decision. It's not unprecedented. Our mission and their mission is to put the best possible team on the ice for every game."
Shuster's bronze medal in 2006 was the Americans' first in an Olympics and first in a major competition since 1978.
He said Thursday after a third straight extra-end loss, this time to Denmark, "I've let my teammates and USA Curling down."

A look at some Penn State players on the way up and a few on the way down following the Lions' 32-23 loss to Nebraska …
1. THE KICKERS. Punter Alex Butterworth (47.7-yard average, long of 56) and kicker Sam Ficken (3-for-3 FGs, five touchbacks) were outstanding in windy conditions. Nicely done, fellas.
2. TB ZACH ZWINAK. You knew Zwinak could maul defenders inside and he did in a 141-yard effort. But how about those wheels on that 50-yard TD run in the first quarter?
3. DEION BARNES. Young pass rusher was a force off the edge, registering three tackles for loss, one of them a sack.
1. PSU's RUN DEFENDERS. Not a great showing from the defense, particularly in the second half. Nebraska QB Taylor Martinez's speed -- Martinez gained 104 yards -- was too much to handle and RB Ameer Abdullah (116 yards) had an easy time of it outside.
2. OT MIKE FARRELL. The senior was called for holding twice in the first half, working against DE Jason Ankrah.
3. TB BILL BELTON. After one snap against Purdue, Belton carried once against Nebraska and lost a yard. It's Zach Zwinak's show now.

Mayawati: Short sprint queen?
Mayawati impressed with her efficiency during her brief stints in office. The long run, however, was another story.
On a hot summer noon in 1997, Mayawati, still raw and having just taken over as chief minister for the second time, rushed to her dream project, Ambedkar Udyan, and found an empty pedestal, with the dalit icon's statue nowhere in sight. "Agar kal tak yahan moorti nahin lagi toh?" she asked menacingly. "To Jai Shankar Mishra khud yahan khada ho jayega!" The senior IAS officer's wit eased the tension.
The fascination with statues had just started, but work on other fronts was breezy too. The criminals were fast entering prisons, the organised mafia was facing the gun, and streets were back to the normal bustle. The whip was cracked to push development work in Ambedkar villages, aimed to improve the lives of dalits.
That was it. Mayawati knew she had six months in power, and did not see the uneasy alliance with the BJP lasting long. On display was the instant delivery from the famous, mostly compromised, babudom of Uttar Pradesh.
The work chosen was caste-partisan, leading to much heartburn in the Kalyan Singh-led BJP, but that was the proud manifesto of the fledgling outfit of 60-odd MLAs - crime, dalit welfare and dalit pride. Blunt and dictatorial, the czarina was exemplary in short bursts. Her three chief ministerial innings of four, six and 15 months stand in sharp contrast to her five-year term that ends on March 6.
The outcome of the battle for Lucknow may be a suspense, but the verdict is already out on Mayawati's first full term - the 'sprint queen' could not be a 'marathon marvel. '
That the Opposition, especially Mulayam Singh Yadav, thinks that corruption as poll plank is enough to oust Mayawati is an obvious sign of her abject failure, as is the evidence that the lot of dalits, who give her the headstart in polls with at least 15 per cent votes, has not changed.
The tidal wave which swept Mayawati to power on May 11, 2007, was of hope, an exasperated mass's last resort. A deeply fragmented populace, uppercastes, strong and weak backwards, came together as a monolith to ignore their deeprooted, reprehensible prejudices, and be called Mayawati's voters', bestowing the mandate with a historic value that future generations would marvel at.
The sheer nature of victory called for a vision to take governance to a new level, away from the rifraff of the last few years. Not all felt it was possible. Mayawati was used to short terms of few months, which allowed her to run an "order-and-deliver" administration. A full tenure required her to rule by a vision-sheet - have patience, conceive longterm policy decisions. Delivery was the last part.
But if there were skeptics, so were hopefuls who saw strong reasons for the impetuous leader to turn the corner. The numerical majority in the assembly would free her from the constraints on decision-making and the newfound support from non-dalits would afford her the cushion to undertake dalit welfare with greater intensity, otherwise a cause of heartburn.
While she was vulnerable on the corruption front, the rage against rival Mulayam Singh Yadav that she benefited from called for obvious course correction, not too much for a 24x7 politician. Above all, it was felt that her expanded support base and higher popularity would take her closer to the people, largely poor. There was everything for an acrimony-free reign. Though simplistic, many spoke of post-caste politics.
By general view, she was shown up, with the only redeeming feature being her old forte - crime. That she has to use the EC's decision to cover elephants and statues to rouse dalits betrays insecurity on the homefront while her return to overt caste politics proves she could not capitalise on 2007 verdict.
Little has gone right since she took up the CM's mantle. Honest bureaucrats have been on the run, seeking refuge in central deputations or facing the axe in Lucknow. The sordid tales are dime a dozen.
Those disappointed after five years lament that Mayawati should have taken charge, established direct dialogue with people like Mamata Banerjee, and then may be faltered, like TMC chief seems to be doing. It would still have been better. Instead, she outsourced governance to couple of officers with little commitment to either Kanshi Ram's manifesto or her 'sarvjan' motto. They are also seen as brains behind her prime ministerial obsession, which threw her off track.
Over five years, when scams and scandals tumbled out and controversies reigned supreme, she preferred the confines of high-walled, high-security mansion. The worst for a subaltern leader is the accusation of being 'invisible CM'.
In her moment of truth, with the vast land drowned in the campaign cacophony, Mayawati is back to politics she is master at. Not all would count her out, because this is one game where she is the best. Come March 6, she could still surprise the nay-sayers, but that would just be a Victory. What people asked for in 2007 was Vision.

Reader's opinion (2)
Corruption can't be turned around in just a few years. I don't know enough about her to have an opinion, but it's never easy for a woman who is also a Dalit. I do like the idea of Mayawati but I don't know how Mayawati really is as a leader.
i feel this is a fantastic article but what Mayawati did is often criticised by the media. If you check what was the situation when it was Mulayam singh in the power then you would realize the difference between then and now. Law and order now is far better than it was that time.

perform selective clear() in EntityManager

posted 3 years ago
Hi there,
I have an application which by the time I started writing it my knowledge in JPA was not as good as today (which is not that much either), and am facing the following problem:
after each persist operation, I call entityManager.clear() in order to detach all entities and keep the manager clear. This helps to solve some errors and not to overload the manager with everything that is read from the database in my application. The point is that I find myself many times where I get many LazyInitializationException's when trying to access dependent collections from entities that have been detached and have not yet been loaded by the application. To get around that what I did was to reattach the needed instance at the very specific code location where the exception occurs to prevent it arising by means of the statement: "entityManager.getInstance(InstanceClass.class, id)". This seems not however a good coding practice and would like to get rid of that.
As an alternative strategy I think I could manually tell the manager which instances need to be kept attached and which not. But don't know how to call or execute a selective clear() call. Is there anyway to iterate over the attached entities and decide wether they need to be detached or not?. The problem is that I cannot detach and reatach, because then I loose the reference grip at critic points of my application such as application instance variables like user or configuration related instances. So the point is that I need to selectively detach entities from the manager.
Any ideas? Any other approaches are greatly appreciated.
Hope the explanation of the problem is clear enough.
Thanks in advance,

Musicians aim to broaden perspective through music
Abel Rocha will never forget attending his first concerts as a child. The music gave him a new perspective of the world. Now, as a musician himself, he hopes to inspire people in the same way.
Rocha sings and plays the harp, guitar and cuatro in Correo Aereo, a Seattle-based Latin/world band, that blends a cultural and musical experience. The duo will perform at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 10, at the Whidbey Island Center for the Arts, 565 Camano Ave, Langley.
"We always try to expand that possibility of inspiring people and letting people see the other styles of music," he said.
The multi-instrumental and vocal duo performs traditional music of Latin America, with sounds from Venezuela, Argentina and Mexico, along with their own original music. The band performs as part of the center's family series and aims to celebrate cultural connections with people of all ages.
For Rocha, he always has a good experience performing for children.
"Many times they are more sensitive than adults, I guess that's human nature," he said. "Their senses are more awakened."
Madeleine Sosin, who sings and plays violin, maracas, bombo and jarana in Correo Aereo, said music is a powerful way to connect with other people.
"Music penetrates you with every molecule in your body," she said.
Sound is delivered through the air not just into your ears, she said, which is a thought that resonates with their name, Correo Aereo, Spanish for air mail.
The duo also works with schools to perform in interactive assemblies. Through music and storytelling, the band helps students learn skills such as language, geography, history and culture.
"It's our job to help each other unlock the genius within," she said. "It involves all kinds of art, culture, expression and ways of learning, but they all are connected," she said.
She said she hopes to share meaning and give depth to people through her music.
"You don't have to speak Spanish to resonate with the music and understand," she said. "People are going to resonate with it in some amazing, creative way."
Tickets for the evening performance cost $15 for adults and $12 for youths.

We've shown you how to enabled Cloud Print on your mobile devices and even use third-party tools to add it to Windows. Read on as we show you how to add Cloud Print functionality as a Windows service and native printing from any of your Windows computers.
This is great. Thanks. A couple questions after reading this:-What happens if the destination PC (or printer) is off when trying to print? Is the status authenticated during the login when printing, does it get cached in the cloud, or does it just send the job?
-Do you get a notification back that the job printed?
-Is there a way on the host machine to control print jobs coming in from the cloud? I.e., can you set it up to require approval before printing?
The job should be cached on the PC.
The cloud is tied to your Google account, and those you share with. Pretty secure in that way.
I have tried to install the Windows driver on Windows 7 many times on many different machines at many different locations. Every time the installer has reported the following error: "The installer could not connect to the Internet because of an HTTP 403 Forbidden response. This is likely a proxy configuration issue. Please configure the proxy server to allow network access and try again or contact your network administrator."
I have no proxy. I've tried with firewall and virus software turned off. The driver installs fine on XP. No matter what Windows 7 machine I try, I get this error.
Anyone seen this before and/or know how to fix the problem?
And pretty insecure in any other.
With Win 8.1 everything works but the printer doesn't show up in the Manage Printers list. Only non-real printers do. I have a Xerox MFP and the Fax service shows up but the Printer does not. Likewise the print to PDF and other such things show up. Any ideas?

Federal prosecutors have submitted a summary of written testimony for Tuesday's hearing on whether a settlement agreement the city of Portland reached with federal investigators is "fair, reasonable and adequate'' to address police problems identified by the U.S. Department of Justice.
The agreement calls for a package of reforms to Portland police policies, training and oversight after Justice officials in 2012 found that Portland police engaged in a pattern or practice of excessive force against people with mental illness or people perceived to suffer from mental illness.
Below are some of the comments from more than 50 people as summarized by federal prosecutors to the court. But the full 16 pages of federal summaries can be found here.
Mark Chasse, whose brother James P. Chasse Jr. died in Portland police custody in September 2006, said his main concern is the lack of independent oversight of the Portland police. He will urge the court for a court-appointed monitor. According to the federal summary, Mark Chasse alleges that "PPB protects itself with an internal self-protecting investigative system without meaningful discipline.''
Longtime Portland community activist T.J. Browning, according to her written testimony, will raise concerns that proposed changes to the city's Citizen Review Committee, which hears appeals of Portland Police Bureau findings on alleged complaints of officer misconduct, "are impractical, won't work and will render CRC useless.''
Marva Davis, whose son Aaron Campbell was fatally shot by a Portland police officer in January 2010, is expected to speak about "inadequate training'' of police, according to the federal summary.
Jan Friedman, an attorney with Disability Rights Oregon, wrote of the agency's support for the settlement agreement but provided further recommendations. Some of those: Give authority to the Albina Ministerial Alliance and the compliance officer/community liaison that the city plans to hire to enforce the reforms in the agreement. Prohibit officers who have been subject to discipline for use of force against people with mental illness from serving on the Police Bureau's mobile crisis unit, end the practice of allowing officers who have used deadly force to wait 48 hours before answering detectives' questions.
Kayse Jama and Nicole Brown, of the Center for Intercultural Organizing, wrote that the agreement should address the Police Bureau's treatment of communities of color.
Attorney Mark Kramer, of the Portland chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, cited concerns that Portland police were trained on a new use of force policy before it had been finalized, and that changes in the agreement don't resolve the "byzantine'' system of investigations of alleged police misconduct.
Don Moore, president of the National Alliance on Mental Illness-Multnomah, recommended increased participation by mental health advocacy groups in the Police Bureau's crisis intervention training and stricter qualifications for officers to serve as crisis intervention team members.
Tom Steenson, who represented the Chasse and Campbell families in civil rights lawsuits against the city, recommended the use of an independent monitor to oversee the reforms, instead of a city-hired compliance officer/community liaison. He also suggested the court not allow the city to have sole authority in selecting a compliance officer/community liaison. He urged more specific reforms to police policies on use of force and emergency medical treatment.
The fairness hearing will start at 9 a.m. in the 13th floor courtroom of U.S. District Judge Michael H. Simon.

Hello All...
I'll be asking for the new Nook coming out on June 10 as I am amazed at how far the technology has come and a 2-month charge on the battery is a huge plus, all for $139!
I was curious however - is it possible to publish from Adobe Acrobat X with clickable links WITHIN the Nook? I want to have text connect to other sections of the same document.
How would I do this?
Thanks in advance for your help in this matter -

To the Editor:
Now we have the Internal Revenue Service being accused of deleting or covering up crucial emails in an investigation of its purported denial or delay of conservative groups' tax-exemption requests before the 2012 election.
(IRS officials told a House committee last week that the emails were lost after a computer crash.)
Come on, now. When will this witch hunt end?
The next thing loudmouth critics of this investigation will have you believe is that dogs don't really eat homework, and that "Star Wars" wasn't really filmed in outer space.
Please, give me a break.

The Gwinnett Braves and Norfolk Tides, the Triple-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, will engage in a four-game battle at Coolray Field that features the top two teams in the International League South Division. The Tides lead the division by 3.0 games over the G-Braves, but both teams enter the series on three-game losing streaks.
The G-Braves lost every game of their three-game road series against the Charlotte Knights, and the Tides lost a home game to the Toledo Mud Hens on Monday before the Durham Bulls swept a two-game set from them at home. Gwinnett is also in contention for the IL Wild Card spot, but the Columbus Clippers have won their last three games to extend their advantage over the second-place G-Braves to 4.5 games.
The Tides have not been to the Governor's Cup Playoffs since they won the division in 2005, and Gwinnett's last trip to the postseason was in 2009 as the Wild Card team. The G-Braves and Tides have eight games remaining against one another. They will complete their season series with four games from Sept. 2-4, including a doubleheader on Sept. 2. The teams have split their first 14 meetings with seven wins apiece.
The G-Braves have closed the gap on the Tides in the division from 8.0 games at the end of July. Gwinnett has gone 15-10 so far in August, while Norfolk is 11-15. The G-Braves' record for the month is the second-best in the league behind the Syracuse Chiefs (17-7). Gwinnett has gone on its hot streak thanks to an offensive surge that includes a league-high .294 team batting average through those 25 games despite nine home runs, which is tied with the Buffalo Bisons for the fewest in the league during that stretch.
Pitching: The series also includes two of the top pitching staffs in the league. Norfolk has the second-best team ERA in the league at 3.08, and the G-Braves are close behind in fourth with a 3.19 ERA. The Tides have allowed the fewest runs in the league with 435 and is tied with Columbus for the most saves with 44. Gwinnett relievers have 41 saves, which are tied for third in the league with three other clubs. The Tides and G-Braves are also tied for the fewest hits allowed with 1,043. Neither staff has struck out an abnormally high number of batters, but they have also limited the number of home runs they have allowed. Norfolk hurlers are ninth in the IL with 922 strikeouts, and the G-Braves follow in 10th with 911 whiffs. The Tides have given up the fourth-fewest home runs with 67, and the G-Braves have allowed 72, the fifth-fewest.
G-Braves' lefty Smith has given up one earned run or fewer in five of his six starts since he rejoined the starting rotation on July 28, and his 2.39 ERA (28 ER in 105.1 IP) for the season is the second-lowest among qualified pitchers in the IL. He leads the league with a 1.12 WHIP. Brigham and Weber both entered the rotation during Gwinnett's series at Charlotte. Baltimore right-hander Wright will open the series with his first start of a Major League rehab assignment with the Tides. Wright has bounced between Norfolk and Baltimore this season. He last pitched on July 31 and tossed a scoreless 1.0 inning of reliever vs. the Detroit Tigers.
Hitting: Gwinnett holds a slight advantage offensively with a 2.62 team batting average that ranks second in the IL. Norfolk is fifth with a .260 mark, although the Tides have outslugged the G-Braves with 70 home runs on the season compared to a league-low 45 for Gwinnett. The G-Braves are on pace for a franchise-low 49 homers, which would also be the fewest for any team in the IL since the Tidewater Tides hit 43 in 1980. Gwinnett has also yet to homer off of a Norfolk pitcher this season. Despite their even head-to-head record, the Tides have hit eight home runs against the G-Braves and outscored them 48-35. Norfolk has batted .256 in its games against Gwinnett this season compared to a .230 batting average for the G-Braves in those contests.
G-Braves' outfielder Cedric Hunter opens the series on a team-best 20-game hitting streak that is also the longest in the IL this season. He surpassed Austin Romine of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders for the top spot on Wednesday with a second-inning double into right-center field. Hunter has batted .345 (29-for-84) with four doubles, two triples, two of his team-leading 11 home runs, 16 RBIs, which padded his team lead to 65, and nine runs scored during that stretch. Hunter's streak is the longest active hitting streak in Triple-A and is tied with Franklin Gutierrez of the Tacoma Rainiers for the longest Triple-A streak of the season.
Outfielder Dariel Alvarez and first baseman Christian Walker have been stalwarts for the Tides, offensively. Alvarez is third in the IL with 141 hits, third in total bases with 217 and fifth in RBIs with 72. Walker is fifth in the league with 46 extra-base hits and 200 total bases. Overall, Norfolk's bats have slowed in August. The team has combined for a .241 batting average that is the third-lowest in the league through their first 26 games of the month.
G-Bites: The G-Braves lost significant contributors in the last week, as the Atlanta Braves' traded outfielder Eric Young, Jr. to the New York Mets on Saturday before they called up catcher Christian Bethancourt and right-handed pitcher Sugar Ray Marimon on Monday. Young had batted .248 (58-for-234) with 23 stolen bases in 67 games for the G-Braves after Atlanta outrighted him to Gwinnett on June 11. He was also Gwinnett's June Player of the Month. Bethancourt hit a team-best .327 (66-for-202) with four home runs, 19 doubles, 31 RBIs and 25 runs scored in 52 games after he began the season with Atlanta. Marimon is in his fourth stint with Atlanta. He had gone 5-4 with a 3.31 ERA (30 ER in 81.2 IP) in 17 appearances (14 starts) for Gwinnett…Among those moves, outfielder Eury Perez rejoined the club when Atlanta optioned him on Monday. Left-handed reliever Hunter Cervenka and catcher Braeden Schlehuber were promoted from Double-A Mississippi, while outfielder Mycal Jones was sent down…The G-Braves will play a two-game series on Monday and Tuesday at Durham before they travel to Norfolk for their four-game tilt with the Tides. Gwinnett finishes the regular season with a three-game home series vs. Charlotte from Sept. 5-7 at Coolray Field.
Series Preview: Gwinnett Braves (56-51) vs. Rochester Red Wings (56-52)
Pitching probables (All games start at 6:35 p.m.)
Mon: RHP Victor Mateo (6-6, 2.68 ERA with Double-A Mississippi) vs. RHP Jose Berrios (2-0, 3.52 ERA).
Tues: RHP Sugar Ray Marimon (3-3, 4.02 ERA) vs. RHP Michael Bowden (7-3, 2.27 ERA).
Wed: RHP Kanekoa Texeira (3-3, 3.58 ERA) vs. LHP Taylor Rogers (8-8, 3.65 ERA).
Thurs: RHP Tyrell Jenkins (3-1, 2.03 ERA) vs. RHP Tyler Duffey (4-6, 2.72 ERA).
The best stretch of the season for the Gwinnett Braves has launched them into the thick of the International League Wild Card race with 37 games left to play. They begin a four-game series at Coolray Field against the Rochester Red Wings 3.0 games behind the Columbus Clippers for the Wild Card spot and what would be the G-Braves' first playoff berth since their inaugural season in Gwinnett of 2009. The G-Braves have gone 11-6 since the All-Star break and have won eight of their last nine games, including five of six against the Durham Bulls last week. They remain 7.5 games out of first place in the IL South Division but are 1.5 games behind the Charlotte Knights for second place and 4.5 games ahead of last-place Durham.
Rochester, the Triple-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins, has struggled since the All-Star break. The Red Wings have gone 7-10 to open the second half of the season and trail the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders by 4.0 games for the lead in the IL North. They also sit a half-game behind Gwinnett in the Wild Card race. Rochester's rough patch included a split of a four-game series with the G-Braves at Frontier Field. Gwinnett won the first two games, but the Red Wings took the final two. That was the first time the clubs had met this season, and this will be their final regular-season series against one another 2015. The G-Braves have not won a season series against the Red Wings since 2012 when they went 5-3. They are 6-14 against Rochester since.
Pitching: Despite roster turnover that has left the G-Braves without any of their original five starting pitchers and with three relievers who started the season with the team, the Gwinnett pitching staff continues to produce at one of the best rates in the league. The team's 3.03 ERA ranks third in the IL, and G-Braves have held opponents to three runs or fewer in 11 of their 17 games since the All-Star break. The staff has walked the fifth-most batters in the league with 355 and has eighth-most strikeouts with 764, but it has allowed the fifth-fewest home runs in the league with 52 and by far has the fewest wild pitches with 28, seven-fewer that Rochester, which ranks second in that department.
The Red Wings have a team ERA of 3.68 that ranks eighth in the league but have the fewest walks of any team in the league with 300 to go with 787 strikeouts, which are the third-most in the league. Berrios, the Twins' No. 3-ranked prospect and No. 26 overall according to MLB.com, pitched the first three months of the season for Double-A Chattanooga. He went 8-3 with a 3.08 ERA for the Lookouts before his promotion to Rochester. He got his first two Triple-A victories in his last two starts, including a 7.0 scoreless innings against the G-Braves on July 23 when he allowed four hits and two walks with one strikeout. He has fanned eight or more batters in three of his first five starts for the Red Wings.
Jenkins, who is the Braves' No. 5 prospect according to MLB.com, is scheduled to finish the series for the G-Braves after he notched his second consecutive win on Saturday against Durham. He struck out eight Bulls' batters in that game, which is the most he's had in any of his first five starts since he got called up from Double-A Mississippi on July 8. Mateo will make his Triple-A debut in the opener of the series in his 185th career minor league appearance. He signed with Atlanta as a minor league free agent in November after eight years in the Tampa Bay Rays' system, including the last two with Double-A Montgomery.
Hitting: The G-Braves homered twice during their three-game road series at Durham but still have the fewest home runs in the league by a wide margin. Their 35 for the season is seven behind the next closest team, Lehigh Valley IronPigs, in that category. They are on pace for a franchise-low 47 on the season, which would also be the fewest of any team in the IL since the 1980 Tidewater Tides. However, Gwinnett is second in the league with 122 stolen bases and three behind the Indianapolis Indians for the lead in that department. The G-Braves also have the fewest walks (256) and strikeouts (548) of any team in the league. Their strikeout total is 104 behind the Norfolk Tides for the next lowest in that category.
Rochester is tied for the third-highest team batting average in the IL with a .262 mark. The club's 66 home runs rank sixth in the league but its 36 stolen bases are the fewest. The Red Wings have also hit into the second-most double plays, two behind Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in that department. Their 54 attempted stolen bases are by far the fewest in the league, as Norfolk is next-to-last in that category with 66. They sit in the middle of the pack in both walks (10th, 348) and strikeouts (ninth, 728).
The International League named Red Wings' first baseman Reynaldo Rodriguez the IL Batter of the Week from July 26-August 2. He batted .385 with a league-high seven extra-base hits, 22 total bases, six runs scored, an .846 slugging percentage and ran his hitting streak to 10 games. He enters the series against Gwinnett with a league-high 44 extra-base hits and 64 runs scored for the season. He also ranks third in doubles (27) and total bases (176), and he is tied with outfielder Danny Ortiz for the team lead in home runs (12). Second baseman James Beresford also ranks third in the league with a .311 batting average for the season.
G-Bites: The G-Braves lost second baseman and the Atlanta Braves' top-ranked prospect Jose Peraza in a three-team, 13-player trade that sent him to the Los Angeles Dodgers on July 30…Right-handed pitcher Williams Perez completed his rehab assignment with Gwinnett and returned to Atlanta on July 31…Right-handed relievers David Carpenter and Ryan Kelly both rejoined the G-Braves that day after a stint with Atlanta…Mateo and infielder Luis Mateo, no relation, joined the team from Double-A Mississippi July 30 and 31, respectively….Atlanta called up relief pitchers Matt Marksberry and Jake Brigham on July 31…Utilityman Joey Terdoslavich begins the series against Rochester on a season-high 12-game hitting streak during which he has batted .364 with three doubles, a triple, two home runs, 11 RBIs and eight runs scored…The G-Braves will complete their longest remaining homestand of the season with three games against the Buffalo Bisons, the Triple-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, from Friday through Sunday at Coolray Field.
Series Preview: Gwinnett Braves (19-25) vs. Lehigh Valley IronPigs (18-27)
Pitching probables
Mon: RHP Matt Wisler (2-3, 4.40 ERA) vs. LHP Anthony Vasquez (1-0, 1.69 ERA), 6:35 p.m.
Tues: RHP Chien-Ming Wang (1-4, 4.70 ERA) vs. LHP Joely Rodriguez (2-3, 5.18 ERA), 6:35 p.m.

Thurs: LHP Manny Banuelos (3-0, 2.64 ERA) vs. RHP Phillippe Aumont (2-1, 1.64 ERA), 6:35 p.m.
The Gwinnett Braves return to Coolray Field for a seven-game homestand that begins with four games against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, the Triple-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies. Gwinnett went 3-4 on its most recent road trip that included series against the Toledo Mud Hens and Columbus Clippers. The Mud Hens took two of three games for the G-Braves, while Gwinnett and Columbus split their four-game series.
Lehigh Valley enters the series vs. Gwinnett on its best roll of the season. A 7-5 home loss Sunday to the Charlotte Knights ended a season-high, six-game winning streak that lifted the IronPigs out of the basement in the International League North Division. They now sit fifth in the six-team division ahead of the Syracuse Chiefs (17-26). The G-Braves remain in the cellar of the IL South, 5.5 games behind division leading Charlotte (24-19).
Pitching: G-Braves' pitchers have combined for the sixth-lowest ERA on the season with a 3.22 mark and has held opponents to two runs or fewer in each of the team's last 12 wins. However, the G-Braves have also lost their last 14 games when they give up more than two runs. The club's eight saves are tied for the second-fewest in the league with Syracuse and one ahead of Toledo, while its 19 home runs allowed are tied for the fourth-fewest. Gwinnett pitchers have walked the third-most batters of any IL team with 159, but their 10 combined wild pitches are the fewest in the league. The G-Braves are also one of six teams with at least 330 strikeouts (331) and sit six strikeouts behind the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, which hold the lead in that department. Individually, Banuelos has risen to ninth among qualified pitchers with a 2.64 ERA (14 ER in 47.2 IP), and he is one of three qualifying pitchers who has yet to suffer a defeat.
The IronPigs' staff held opponents to one run in four games during the recent winning streak to lower the team ERA to 3.90, which ranks 10th in the 14-team league. Lehigh Valley had limited its opponents to one run twice before that stretch and is the only team in the league yet to record a shutout victory, and it has issued the most walks with 192 (4.26 per game), 32 more than second-place Toledo in that category. The IronPigs' 286 strikeouts are the second-fewest in the league, five more than Syracuse. Aumont's 1.64 ERA (8 ER in 44.0 IP) through 10 outings (six starts) is the second-lowest in the league among qualified pitchers, although his 24 walks are tied for the second-most in the league.
Hitting: The G-Braves and IronPigs have identical .259 team batting averages, and they are the two most power deprived squads in the league. Gwinnett's 13 long balls for the season are one fewer than the 14 homers Lehigh Valley has launched. The G-Braves have scored nine more runs (178) than the IronPigs and stolen 21 more bases (Gwinnett has a league-leading 53). The G-Braves' 231 strikeouts are the fewest in the league, while Lehigh Valley's 296 are the fifth fewest.
Gwinnett outfielder Eury Perez continues to lead the league in stolen bases with 22, while second baseman Jose Peraza remains with 14 (tied for fourth). Peraza has yet to steal a base since his return to the lineup Thursday after missing a week, although he did hit his first two home runs of the season at Columbus. Perez also leads the league with 27 runs scored, while infielder Adonis Garcia is fourth in batting average at .338 and outfielder Cedric Hunter is tied for second in doubles with 13.
G-Bites: The G-Braves received a new pitcher in their starting rotation during the road trip. Right-hander Cody Martin (0-1, 2.08 ERA), who won the team's Most Outstanding Pitcher award after going 7-8 with a 3.52 ERA in 2014, joined the club May 19 from the Atlanta Braves. He went 2-2 with a 4.12 ERA (9 ER in 19.2 IP) in 17 relief appearances to begin the year with Atlanta…The Braves traded right-handed reliever John Cornely (2-2, 4.42 ERA, 1 save, 12 appearances) to the Boston Red Sox on May 20, and he was assigned to Triple-A Pawtucket…Garcia returned to the G-Braves on May 22 after a four-day stay with Atlanta in his first Major League experience (0-1, 1 BB, 2 games), while left-handed reliever Ian Thomas got called up to Atlanta for the second time this season…The G-Braves will close their homestand with three games Friday through Sunday vs. Columbus, the Triple-A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians.
Series Preview: Gwinnett Braves (6-11) vs. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (9-9)
Pitching probables
Mon: LHP Manny Banuelos (0-1, 3.77 ERA) vs. RHP Jaron Long (0-1, 6.75 ERA)
Tues: RHP Williams Perez (1-0, 1.69 ERA) vs. RHP Chase Whitley (2-0, 2.12 ERA)
Wed: RHP Matt Wisler (0-2, 4.60 ERA) vs. RHP Kyle Davies (1-1, 6.75 ERA)
The Gwinnett Braves open a seven-game homestand with three 6:35 p.m. contests against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, the Triple-A affiliate of the New York Yankees. The Railriders have finished fifth in the six-team International League North Division in each of the past two seasons, but they have had Gwinnett's number. The G-Braves are 4-12 against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre since 2012 and have not won any of the eight games between the two clubs at Coolray Field. This will be the G-Braves' first foray outside of the IL South Division this season. They were 32-46 against non-divisional opponents in 2014.
Pitching: Gwinnett and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre are evenly matched statistically in the pitching department. The G-Braves' staff enters the series with the league's sixth-lowest earned-run average at 3.31 (55 ER in 149.1 IP), while the RailRiders sit in seventh with a 3.35 ERA (61 ER in 164.0 IP). The teams are also extremely similar in terms of their pitching staffs' control. The G-Braves have a 2.39 strikeouts-to-walks ratio (146/61). The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre staff's rate is 2.55 (153/60).
However, the G-Braves hold the advantage in individual stats. Tuesday's starter, Perez, boasts the seventh-lowest ERA in the league at 1.69. In the bullpen, left-hander Donnie Veal enters the series tied for the league lead in holds (four) and appearances (nine). Righty Aaron Kurcz is tied for fourth in saves with four.
Batting: The larger differences between the two teams in this series show up in their offensive approaches. The G-Braves use a speed-based game to score runs. The RailRiders' lineup, meanwhile, produces more power and hardly ever attempts to steal bases.
Gwinnett has a league-low three home runs through 17 games, but it leads the league with 21 stolen bases. Ten of those swipes have come from outfielder Eury Perez, who has been caught twice and was 27-for-31 in steal attempts in 2014 while playing in the Washington Nationals' and New York Yankees' organizations. Outfielder Todd Cunningham hit a team-best .429 (12-for-28) with two doubles and a triple during the nine-game road trip and returns to Coolray Field on a seven-game hitting streak.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre has eight home runs, which is tied for the seventh-most in the league, but has stolen four bases in eight attempts. RailRiders outfielder Ben Gamel leads the league with a .404 batting average (19-for-47), ranks second with a .472 on-base percentage and sits behind teammate Ramon Flores (.611) for fourth in slugging percentage with a .596 mark. Flores is also tied for second in the league with four home runs.
G-Bites: Gwinnett returns home with a new-look bullpen compared to when it left town April 16. RHP Kanekoa Texeira went on the disabled list along with infielder Sean Kazmar on April 17. That opened a spot for RHP Mitchell Boggs, who the Atlanta Braves signed to a minor-league contract April 20. The Braves also re-signed LHP Greg Smith the next day to join the G-Braves' corps of relievers. The G-Braves activated catcher Jose Yepez off of the disabled list to fill Kazmar's roster spot.
RHPs John Cornely and Michael Kohn got the call to Atlanta on Friday, April 24, while RHPs Sugar Ray Marimon and Juan Jaime returned to Gwinnett. Marimon made one appearance for the G-Braves before Atlanta called him up on April 13. Jaime saved 18 games for Gwinnett in 2014 and began the 2015 season with the Braves.
The G-Braves will finish their homestand with a four-game series Thursday-Sunday against the Toledo Mud Hens at Coolray Field.
Series Preview: Gwinnett Braves (12-15) vs. Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (13-11)
Thu: Sean Gilmartin (2-0, 2.40 ERA) vs. Brett Marshall (0-2, 7.36 ERA)
Fri: Yohan Flande (1-1, 4.43 ERA) vs. Graham Stoneburner (1-1, 3.00 ERA)
Sat: Tim Corcoran (1-2, 3.12 ERA) vs Dellin Betances (1-2, 7.58 ERA)
Sun: Omar Poveda (2-1, 1.93 ERA) vs. Chien-Ming Wang (2-1, 0.95 ERA) or Chris Bootcheck (3-0, 0.38 ERA)
The Gwinnett Braves have lost their last four games, as they were swept by the Indianapolis Indians (20-7). The Braves ran into a buzz saw, losing to the hottest team in the International League. The Indians are currently on a six-game winning streak and own the best record in the league.
The Braves are glad to be home after an eight-game road trip. Welcoming them back to Coolray Field will be catcher Brian McCann, as he will continue his rehab with the Gwinnett Braves this weekend. The six-time MLB All-Star and five-time Silver Slugger Award winner has been licking his chops to get back to Atlanta, working hard to get through his rehab assignment. In four games with the Single-A Rome Braves, he is hitting .357 (5-for-14) with three homers and 7 RBI.
The offensive attack is led by Ernesto Mejia. His eight home runs lead the league, while he is second RBI (23) and total bases (53). Last season, he hit .258 (8-for-31) with eight runs, one homer and five RBI against Scranton… Joey Terdoslavich has been no slouch, hitting .318 (34-for-107) with four home runs and 16 RBI. He leads the league in doubles (13), extra-base hits (18) and total bases (61)…
Sean Gilmartin will take the ball in the opener. He is 2-0 with a 2.40 ERA in five starts. Among starters, he is second on the squad in innings (30) and ERA. He will make his first career start against the RailRiders… Yohan Flande will make his fourth start (7th appearance) of the season Friday. He is 1-1 with a 4.43 ERA. In his career he has faced Scranton/ WB four times, posting a 0-0 record with a 3.54 ERA (20.1 IP/ 8 ER) and 15 strikeouts… Tim Corcoran pitches Saturday. In five starts, he is 1-1 with a 3.12 ERA. Dating back to 2005, Corcoran has tossed 1.2 innings against the RailRiders, giving up zero runs and striking out two… Poveda will toss in the finale. The right-hander is seventh in the league in ERA (1.93). He is 2-1 on the season and has tossed 32.2 innings in five starts. He will make his first start against Scranton…
Braves concluded the month of April with a 12-15 record. They are currently 6.5 games back of the South Division front-runner Durham Bulls and 5.5 games behind of the wildcard leading Norfolk Tides. The G-Braves are 4-6 in their last 10 games and 6-4 at home…
Thomas Neal leads the RailRiders charge, hitting .339 (21-for062) with six doubles and 14 RBI. He is eighth in the league in hitting… He is tied for eighth place with teammate David Adams. He is hitting .339 (20-for 59) with two homers and six RBI… Melky Mesa leads the squad in homers with three, but is second the IL in strikeouts with 35…
Baseball America's No. 6 ranked Yankees prospect Marshall will get the ball in Game 1. The right-hander has struggled in 2013, posting a 0-2 record with a 7.36 ERA… Saturday's hurler, Stoneburner has been solid despite logging in 12.0 innings in three starts. He is 1-1 with 3.00 ERA. This will be his first start against the G-Braves… Another Yankee farmhand that has struggled is Game 3 starter, Dellin Betances. The righty is 1-2 with a 7.58 ERA. Even though he has made 25 starts in his career for Scranton, this will be his first against Gwinnett. Sunday starter has not been decided, but both Wang and Bootcheck will prove to be tough. Each pitcher is sporting a sub 1.00 ERA. In 43 combined innings, the right-handers have allowed three earned runs in 2013.
The Low Down
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre took seven of eight games against the Braves in 2012. In 2013, the RailRiders are in third place in the East Division. They are currently three games back of the Wild Card race and Division lead. They are currently on a four-game winning streak.

DABA donates clock in downtown Arlington
ARLINGTON — Oct. 29 will see the Downtown Arlington Business Association dedicating the completion of a project that's been one of their goals for years.
"Mary Green, a local business owner and longtime Arlington resident, had the dream of the downtown businesses purchasing a town clock," DABA President Debora Nelson said. "The thought has been there for many, many years. A fund was started in 2009 and slowly crept up to $700 through donations."
Nelson credited the proceeds from different DABA-hosted events throughout the years, including the annual Show 'N Shine Car Show, with allowing herself, DABA Treasurer Julie Tate, Secretary Debbie Whitis and Vice President Morgan Macauley to move to purchase the clock and have it installed on Olympic Avenue.
"The City Council accepted this gift at their Aug. 1 meeting," Nelson said. "DABA organized and covered the cost of the installation of the clock with the help of project manager Terry Marsh, [city Recreation Coordinator] Sarah Lopez, Cuz Concrete and Donnelson Electric. The guys who helped to lift this hefty clock are retired Arlington Fire Chief Jim Rankin, Jay Downing, and David and Justin Klein."
The clock is installed near the downtown Arlington parking lot and its ribbon-cutting ceremony will commence at 11 a.m. on Oct. 29. It was purchased from East Bay Clock Company and stands 12 feet tall. It's made of heavy cast iron, with gold trim and an unbreakable face. Nelson described its style as complementary to historic downtown Arlington, and estimated that the cost of its purchase and installation adds up to an approximately $9,000 investment in the city.

As if Vinny Fuschetto wasn't dangerous enough running with the ball, catching it, returning kicks, punts and the occasional interception, New Providence coach Frank Bottone has come up with a new way to get the ball in the hands of his versatile senior.
After Roselle tied the score at 7-all against the Pioneers early in the second quarter Saturday, Bottone sat out starting quarterback Jack Cole and had Fuschetto take direct snaps out of the shotgun in New Providence's modified Wing-T attack.
Fuschetto ran for 20 yards on the second play of the seven-play, 64-yard drive and later picked up five on fourth-and-one at the 11. Fuschetto then tossed a 6-yard touchdown pass to Derek Singer on the next play.
"I love it, I feel like Tim Tebow back there," Fuschetto said. "Any way to get my hands on the ball and make a play."
Give Bottone credit for trying something new in his 46th and final year as the only coach New Providence has ever known.
"We're using him all over the place," Bottone said. "We figured if we move him around and put him in different spots it's going to be difficult to defend him."
Fuschetto accounted for an uncharacteristically low 175 yards against Roselle, running 17 times for 49 yards, catching four passes for 65 yards, completing his lone pass for a 6-yard touchdown, collecting 57 yards on two kicks and losing 2 yards on a punt return. He also made four tackles as a corner back.
The most impressive statistic in New Providence's last-second, 23-20 victory, was that the Pioneers held an explosive Roselle rushing attack to minus-6 yards on 23 carries. New Providence tackle Zach Troutman led the effort up front with 11 tackles.
An area of concern for New Providence is the fact that Roselle torched the Pioneers' secondary for 226 yards and three touchdowns in the air.
If New Providence can tighten up its pass defense and its defensive front remains in lockdown mode Bottone's last season could be a memorable one.
MY BAD: In my game story from Johnson's 33-26 decision over Somerville last Thursday I incorrectly reported that Adam Roche blocked a punt for Johnson. The punt was actually blocked by JOHN FERRENTINO, in the end zone no less, with Billy Gray recovering for a Johnson touchdown.
Of course, it would have been a better story if Adam Roche had blocked the punt. Adam Roche plays for Somerville.

Government never rests.
With the exception of a special meeting tonight, Medina City Council is on a month-and-a-half summer recess, which began July 10 and will span until Aug. 28.
While members of Council take a break, the impact of council's work this year — marked in resolutions and ordinances – will carry forward for years to come.
The Medina Sun asked all Medina council members to list the three most impacting choices that Council has made since January.
Community Improvement Corporation
The CIC was one of the most-debated City Council topics in the past five years with residents coming out in droves to, on separate hands, debate or support the Corporation, which will enlist city money to promote redevelopment in the city.
City funds could be used to manage or lease properties, make loans, or other actions to spark redevelopment in the city's areas.
"The establishment of the C.I.C. will allow the city to become more competitive for economic growth," said Ward 3 representative Mark Kolesar, "and provide seeds for sustainable development all throughout the city."
Council President John Coyne said that the C.I.C. gives Medina "an active role" in redevelopment in the city.
Opponents varied on their reason for opposing the C.I.C., but many expressed concern that redevelopment carried out by the Corporation would not pay a prevailing wage on construction projects.
Supporters said that the C.I.C. would make Medina more competitive in recruiting and keeping businesses.
City officials maintained that it was another piece to making downtown Medina and the rest of the city a destination area.
"The C.I.C is a vital tool that will allow the city of Medina to react more quickly to changing business and market conditions," Paul Rose, an at Large councilman, said. "With this flexibility, the city has a better chance of attracting new businesses to the area."
A C.I.C. aims to create future employment opportunities and sustain the local economy in the city.
There are 212 other cities or counties operating a C.I.C. in a particular area.
Airport Improvements
Since the beginning of 2012, the Medina Municipal Airport has been treated like a Hollywood actress trying to reinvigorate her career.
The airport has had a facelift that city officials believe will jump-start new revenue through the facility.
A main runway was resurfaced — it was reconstructed in 1988 and had only received crack sealing since that time – and a housing unit for helicopter pilots was constructed next to a helicopter hangar. The city struck a deal earlier this year to station a University Hospitals helicopter at the airport.
Last month, the city also made plans to purchase a jet fuel tank, which will be used to refuel hospital helicopters, but could also draw more small plane pilots to the site for refueling, airport officials say.
"As travel habits change and Medina increases business activity in the area, easy access to airports for executive small aircraft and small commuter travel will look to our airport as a possible landing site because of the jet fuel," Rose said.
The jet fuel tank could bring in $30,000 to $50,000 in revenue, merely from the helicopter usage annually, Airport Manager Greg Huber said last month.
Ward 2 councilman Dennie Simpson said in an email last week that the new revenue is a "win, win for the City!"
In completing all upgrades, the city will pump more than $700,000 into the airport projects – which, in total, will cost approximately $1.7 million and will be paid in part by grants.
"While the improvements to the airport make possible more productive use of the air field and financial viability, the issue in broader terms speaks to smart planning that enables the municipality to make best use of existing facilities," said Bill Lamb, at Large council representative.
Resident get to vote on charter change
City Council voted in July to place a potential change to the City Charter on this November's ballot. Voters will have an opportunity to decide this issue: should Council be permitted to sell, lease, or trade city park land without a waiting period for resident feedback?
Council's vote to allow the potential Charter change on the ballot was noteworthy.
Aside from the fact that the City Charter – which serves as Medina's constitution – could be changed, the decision to place the Charter change on the ballot this year was unprecedented because it is not a Charter Review year.
A charter review commission is formed every five years to look at the Charter and decide if any items should be altered. A CRC year was last year.
The commission brought two suggestions to council last year. Both were rejected.
Normally the issues would be put to rest for at least five years, but earlier this year, three former CRC members brought both issues back to City Council.
Council President John Coyne permitted the two issues back on Council's table, and the park land issue was approved to the ballot.
Council's vote on charter changes "may cause problems down the road," Rose said, because it potentially set a precedent for future years of allowing charter changes to come back to council after a CRC year.
Honorable mention:
Road improvement in Industrial area
The city has undertaken road projects on the city's southwest side, which houses many of Medina's industrial businesses.
A segment of Lake Road was reconstructed this summer and a portion of West Smith Road will be redone this Fall.
New pavement, storm sewers, and water lines will be constructed on West Smith from the intersection of Lake Road to 400 feet past State Road.
Medina also extended Commerce Drive.
Ward 4 councilman Jim Shields said the three road projects will greatly help businesses and industries in the area.
The improvement of the roadways in the industrial area are "desperately needed," Kolesar said, for retention and attraction of businesses.

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- The heroes of the Alabama basketball team's 68-65 victory over Tennessee on Saturday at Coleman Coliseum unquestionably were veteran guards Trevor Releford and Andrew Steele.
Releford was held scoreless in the first half but had 15 points in the second half.
Did he change clothes at halftime?
"I just took what the defense gave me, and I was able to hit some shots," the junior point guard said.
In this video, see and hear what he and Steele had to say in the postgame press conference.

Early runs help H-L hold off Mohawk
SYCAMORE – Bryan Scherger and Garret Sendelbach combined to drive in half of Hopewell-Loudon's runs and the Chieftains turned back Mohawk down the stretch Wednesday to claim a 14-11 Midland Athletic League slugfest.
Scherger chased in four runs with two singles and added two runs for the Chieftains (4-7, 1-1 MAL), while Sendelbach went 3 for 4 with three RBIs and a run.
That helped H-L power out to a 12-4 lead after the top of the third inning, but the Warriors (2-6, 0-2) battled back and trail 12-10 by the end of the sixth.
The Chieftains extended their lead with two runs in the top of the seventh, then surrendered three in the bottom of the frame before Nick Scaife locked up the save to preserve the win for Tyler Imes (1-2).
Ryan Steinmetz chased in two runs with a double and single for H-L. Jordan Stewart scored three times and singled, Ryan Depinet had two runs, two RBIs and a single, Imes singled twice and Braden Park had two runs and a single.
Andrew Loose went 4 for 5 with two runs and two doubles for the Warriors, and Devon Fredritz had a 3-for-4 day with two runs, two RBIs and a double.
Wes Shaw scored three times and singled twice, Mitch Brown lined two singles and Eric Maskey tallied three RBIs, two runs and a single.
Luke Shock suffered the loss.
Hughes, Jackets handcuff SW
NEW RIEGEL – Blaine Hughes twirled a one-hitter in his first career complete game and got plenty of support Wednesday in a 16-0 Midland Athletic League win over St. Wendelin.
Hughes surrendered a single to Donovan Scudder and allowed just three walks while fanning six in the five-inning affair.
Andrew Hohman scored twice, doubled and singled for the Blue Jackets.
Josh Nye added three RBIs, two runs and a single, Jake Dryfuse went 2 for 3 with two RBIs, and Brandyn Reinhart and Aaron Reinhart each scored twice.
Brad Buhrow took the loss for the Mohawks (0-2, 0-2 MAL).
Bucks can't solve CC pitching again
NORTH ROBINSON – Over what was essentially a 48-hour period, Buckeye Central and Colonel Crawford played a pair of remarkably similar games.
After falling to the Eagles 3-0 in New Washington on Monday, the Bucks lost by the same score Wednesday, this time in North Robinson.
Buckeye Central struggled to figure out Colonel Crawford starter Austin Adams, who pitched a complete-game two-hitter, striking out 11.
Buckeye Central losing pitcher Austin Lutz did not allow an earned run, but the Eagles scored three times off him; once in the third and twice in the sixth. The Bucks (2-8, 0-2 North Central Conference) were charged with three errors.
Ronnie Treisch had a pair of hits and drove in two runs for Colonel Crawford (4-6, 2-0).
Ryan Wilfer doubled for Buckeye Central.
FHS still winless
PEMBERVILLE – Eastwood blanked winless Fostoria 5-0 Wednesday in Northern Buckeye Conference play.
Robbie Crotty (0-3) took the loss for the Redmen (0-11), who surrendered just four hits and six walks.
Kaleb Bemis, Crotty, Hunter Abell and Anthony Dean each singled for Fostoria.
McCristall powers Warriors
MANSFIELD – Mitch McCristall blasted two homers and two teammates each doubled Wednesday as Ontario shut out North Central Conference foe Upper Sandusky 6-0.
Kyle Pasheilich and Paul Homan both backed him McCristall with a double and single for the Warriors (9-1, 2-0 NCC) to help Tyler Beal (4-0) pick up the win.
Sam Plott (2-2) suffered the loss for the Rams (5-5, 0-2).
Andre Myers doubled for Upper Sandusky and Tristan Reichelderfer singled twice.
Wise, Bowerman lead Tigers
OLD FORT – Dalton Wise had two hits and two runs, and Seneca East improved to 9-1 with a 5-3 victory at Old Fort.
The Tigers (9-1, 2-0 Midland Athletic League) got a solid start from Jordan Bowerman, who worked around five hits and two earned runs, striking out 10 and walking one to pick up the victory.
Bowerman also scored twice for the Tigers.
Dalton Perry had two hits and an RBI for Old Fort (1-6, 0-2), while Brad Heilman had two hits and scored.
Elementary, my dear Watson
NORTH BALTIMORE – Drew Ritzler was good. But Jordan Watson was better.
Calvert's Ritzler scattered nine hits over six innings allowing three runs, two earned while striking out seven. But he was out-dueled by North Baltimore's Watson, who tossed a complete-game two-hitter, striking out 11 in the 3-0 Tiger win.
Jacob Zimmerman and Matt Iannantuono had Calvert's hits.
Dalton Ishmael and Zach Stewart had two-hit days for the Tigers. Stewart drove home two.


text: .TH FDP 1 "1 April 2003" .SH NAME fdp \- filter for drawing undirected graphs .SH SYNOPSIS \fBfdp\fR [\fB\-G\fIname=value\fR] [\fB\-N\fIname=value\fR] [\-E\fIname=value\fR] [\fB\-T\fIlang\fR] [\fB\-l \fIlibfile\fR] [\fB\-o \fIoutfile\fR] [\fB\-v\fR] [files] .SH DESCRIPTION .I fdp draws undirected graphs using a ``spring'' model. It relies on a force-directed approach in the spirit of Fruchterman and Reingold (cf. Software-Practice & Experience 21(11), 1991, pp. 1129-1164). Input files must be formatted in the .I dot attributed graph language. By default, the output of .I fdp is the input graph with layout coordinates appended. To make Postscript, use the \fB\-Tps\fP option. FrameMaker MIF (\fB-Tmif\fP), HPGL (\fB-Thpgl\fP), JPEG (\fB-Tjpg\fP and GIF (\fB-Tgif\fP) are other choices. .PP Here is a brief synopsis of the graph language. .PP \fBgraph \fIname\fP { \fIstatement-list\fP }\fR .PP declares a top level graph. Statements may be: .PP \fIname\fB=\fIval\fB;\fR .br \fBnode [\fIname\fB=\fIval\fB];\fR .br \fBedge [\fIname\fB=\fIval\fB];\fR Set the default graph, node, or edge attribute \fIname\fP to \fIval\fP. Any subgraph, node, or edge specified after one of these statements inherits these attributes. .PP \fBn0 [\fIname0=val0,name1=val1,...\fB];\fR Creates node \fBn0\fP if it does not exist, and sets its attributes according to the optional list. .PP \fBn0 \-\- n1 \-\- \fI...\fB \-\- nn [\fIname0=val0,name1=val1,...\fB];\fR Creates edges between nodes \fBn0\fP, \fBn1\fP, ..., \fBnn\fP and optionally sets the given attributes. Creates nodes as necessary. Although typically applied to undirected graph, \fIfdp\fP will also layout directed graphs by simply ignoring edge direction. .PP \fBsubgraph \fIname\fB { \fIstatement-list \fB}\fR Creates a subgraph. A subgraph may appear in place of an individual node within an edge statement. The \fBsubgraph \fIname\fR part is optional. If missing, the subgraph is given an internal name. .PP While attribute names and values may be arbitrary strings, certain fixed attributes control \fIfdp\fP's layout algorithm. Refer to \fIdot\fP(1) for general options for controlling layout size, font faces and sizes, colors, labels, node shape, line styles, etc. .SH "GRAPH ATTRIBUTES" \fBK=\fIval\fR. Sets the default ideal node separation in the layout. .PP \fBmaxiter=\fIval\fR. Sets the maximum number of iterations used to layout the graph. .PP \fBstart=\fIval\fR. Adjusts the random initial placement of nodes with no specified position. If \fIval\fP is is an integer, it is used as the seed for the random number generator. If \fIval\fP is not an integer, a random system-generated integer, such as the process ID or current time, is used as the seed. .PP \fBsplines=\fIval\fR. If \fIval\fR is "true", edges are drawn as splines to avoid nodes. By default, edges are draw as line segments. .PP .SH "NODE ATTRIBUTES" \fBpin=\fIval\fR. If \fIval\fR is "true", the node will remain at its initial position. .SH "EDGE ATTRIBUTES" \fBweight=\fIf\fR sets the weight of an edge to the given floating point value. The default is 1.0; greater values make the edge tend more toward its optimal length. .PP \fBlen=\fIf\fR sets the optimal length of an edge. The default is \fBK\fP. .SH "COMMAND LINE OPTIONS" \fB\-v\fP (verbose) prints a log of the layout. .PP \fB\-V\fP prints the version and exits. .PP \fB\-?\fP prints the usage and exits. .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR dot (1), .BR circo (1), .BR neato (1), .BR twopi (1) .br


text: My 10 month old is petite - she weighs in about 15.5 pounds but she has a petite frame. She is also VERY active - already cruising and trying to walk. The ped makes me come once a month to get weighed - usually she gains a pound every other month. The doc made us get testing for everything and nothing came up. I am bf and the doc said my dd should be eating 12 tbps of cereal every day plus 5-6 jars of baby food and bf 5 times a day. DD never gets that much down - she fights and puts up her hands. I find myself bf her 7-8 times a day to make sure she gains. The Ped is really making me doubt myself - now she wants me to supplement with formula after every feeding. DD won't have anything to do with it and I don't blame her - it tastes horrible! Anyone going through the same thing - I feel like I'm starving my DD!

New account creation has been re-enabled, hopefully we'll be spared spammers. —Ashley Y 17:41, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
New account creation has been disabled again. Despite CAPTCHAs we get a lot of spam again. I'm trying to move to a scheme where accounts can be created by anyone but need to be approved by a human. In the mean time, the login page lists whom to email to get an account. —Nominolo 22 September 2012.

AMHERST - The Rev. James Lawson, Jr., a Civil Rights leader whose father was a minister in Springfield in the 1920s, will speak Monday night at the University of Massachusetts Monday night on "Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?"
His 7 p.m. talk in Goodell Hall is part of the Psychology of Peace and Violence Program's distinguished speaker series on nonviolent action and civil resistance.
Lawson is currently a visiting faculty member in the Civil Discourse and Social Change Initiative at California State University, Northridge.
According to a press release, Martin Luther King Jr. once called Lawson "the leading theorist and strategist of nonviolence in the world."
Lawson, 83, was preaching by the time he finished high school and in college joined the Fellowship of Reconciliation America's oldest pacifist organization, where he was first exposed to the nonviolent teachings of Gandhi and a fellow black minister, Howard Thurman.
In 1951, he was sentenced to three years in prison for refusing the Korean War draft, but paroled after 13 months.
At Vanderbilt Divinity School, he opened a Fellowship of Reconciliation office in Nashville and began holding seminars to train volunteers in Gandhian nonviolent direct action.
His 1960s training sessions were portrayed in the 2013 film, "The Butler," and he taught black and white students how to organize sit-ins and other actions to force America to confront segregation's immorality.
Lawson is expected to speak at several Springfield community events on Sunday, according to the release.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama – If you thought your 'Wheel of Fortune' half-hour was going to be free of political ads because the primary is over, you're mistaken. The ads – especially in hotly contested races like the runoff for Alabama's 6th Congressional district Republican primary – will continue in earnest, at least for the next month.
Yesterday, 6th District candidate Paul DeMarco released a new TV that highlights especially endorsements from the National Rifle Association, or NRA, and the National Right to Life, an anti-abortion organization.
The ad gives the NRA first billing – it is simply called "NRA." The ad says DeMarco will defend the Constitution and fight Obamacare and amnesty.
"Endorsed by the NRA for standing strong against Obama's gun control agenda," the voice-over in the 30-second spot says, as the ad shows DeMarco shaking hands with a gun store clerk. The ad says National Right to Life endorsed DeMarco for "his unwavering commitment."
"And DeMarco is the only candidate who spoke out against the deplorable treatment of our vets in Obama's VA scandal," the voice-over says.
DeMarco is facing fellow Republican Gary Palmer in the July 15 runoff. The winner of that runoff will face Democrat Avery Vise and Libertarian Aimee Love in the general election in November.

Judge Ted Grove made the decision during a hearing on a writ of habeas corpus filed last week by Butts' attorneys, said Columbia County District Attorney Steve Atchison.
The writ stems from the treatment of a self-inflicted wound Butts suffered when he stabbed himself in the forehead with a pencil in January. The wound became infected, but Butts refused treatment, Atchison said.
Late last month, Butts was sent to the the Justice Center Jail in Portland for treatment of the wound.
But when Multnomah County jailers saw the wound they sent Butts to OHSU Hospital for treatment, and again he refused treatment, Atchison said, and was sent back to the Columbia County Jail.
A Columbia County grand jury indicted Butts on nine counts of aggravated murder, which could carry the death penalty, and other charges including attempted aggravated murder, robbery, burglary, theft and unauthorized use of a vehicle.
Last December and again in January, Judge Grove heard expert testimony from mental health professionals, as well as police officers, on Butts' behavior before and after the shooting.
The hearings weren't held to determine Butts' mental state at the time of the shooting, but whether he is able to assist his defense attorneys during a trial. In the past year, Butts was evaluated several times both at the Columbia County Jail and at the state hospital in Salem, where he stayed for 20 days last July.
In February, Grove said he believed Butts was "gaming the system" and ruled that Butts could aid in his own defense.
Atchison explained that the writ was filed by Butts' attorney to insure their client received adequate medical care, and that he was being held in custody in a safe manner.
"But he's refusing treatment,'' Atchison said. "The county tries to give him a pill and he says no."
Atchison said today's decision is "a continuation into whether he can aid and assist in his defense. The question now is will the state hospital take him and how long will they take him?"
Atchison was not in court today to argue the case, but merely there as an observer. Sarah Hansen, the Columbia County counsel was prepared to argue the case, but the hearing on the writ has been put on hold, Atchison said.
