Inside this issue

Interactive Health, the country’s leading provider of health management solutions, has named the Rockford Park District one of the “Healthiest Companies in America.”

RPD was one of 158 honored across the country for their embracing the mission of implementing preventive health care in the workplace.

This award is given to organizations that have helped transform the lives of employees by offering wellness programs that combine health evaluations with personalized results.

Through these initiatives organizations are able to accomplish success in moving employees from high-risk health status to reduced risk.

“Ultimately, the end result of this recognition is having healthy and more productive team members, who will in turn provide better, higher quality services to our citizens, and at the same time, lower healthcare costs for taxpayers,” said Director of Human Resources Debbie Gass.

In 2014, the Rockford Park District experienced a participation rate of 72.5 percent by eligible employees and spouses with results of testing showing 12 fewer newly discovered negative health conditions versus the previous year, as well as an improvement in the average score from -2 down to -5.

This score was better than some of Interactive Health’s healthiest clients and as a result of the overall health improvements, the Rockford Park District ended 2014 at 73.09 percent of the annual healthcare budget, meaning the District saved over $900,000 on healthcare.

Moving out Census data shows Rockford, neighboring towns among statewide leaders in population decline

By Tom Parisi Northern Illinois University

New U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate that Rockford, the third largest city in Illinois, is leading the state in population decline.

From July 1, 2010 to July 1, 2014, Rockford’s population declined by 2.5 percent or 3,840 people—the biggest numerical drop of any Illinois city during that period, according to census data provided to Northern Illinois University’s Center for Governmental Studies (CGS).

Further, the adjacent towns of Machesney Park and Loves Park also were among the top 15 communities for population declines during that four-year stretch, losing 456 and 448 residents, respectively.

Illinois has nearly 1,300 incorporated villages, towns and cities. CGS monitors demographic changes in Illinois as a coordinating agency in the U.S. Census Bureau State Data Center Network.

Suburban North Chicago was second on the list of towns seeing the greatest population decline, losing 2,189 residents, followed by Decatur (-2,079), Belleville (-1,549), Moline (-824), Freeport (-764) and Danville (-759).

“Population loss might be a greater concern for larger communities because of population-based aid they receive from state and federal sources,” says Eric Zeemering, a professor of public administration at NIU. He says towns that are losing a substantial number of residents need to make adjustments.

“Municipalities with declining populations must be vigilant about scaling back services to match local needs,” Zeemering says. “If population loss is accompanied by a reduced percentage of occupied properties and the closure of businesses, communities must cope with lost revenue from property taxes and other fee-supported services, like water and sewer services.”

In March, CGS reported that census data showed Illinois had nearly 10,000 fewer residents in 2014 than in the previous year – the largest numerical decline of any state in the nation and the first statewide population dip since the mid-1980s.

“When communities lose population, it’s typically a sign of lost jobs or an aging population,” says Sherrie Taylor, a CGS researcher.

“The national birth rate has been decreasing as families are starting later in life and not having as many children. This trend, coupled with the

aging baby boomer generation, is creating a decrease in the population throughout Illinois.

Some residents are also leaving for jobs in other states. But new immigrants sometimes make up for the loss in the more urban settings, such as Chicago.”

Many cities in Illinois continue to grow, including Chicago, which added 25,070 people from 2010 to 2014. That amounts to modest growth of just under 1 percent.

Naperville added 3,828 residents, the second largest numerical increase of Illinois cities, followed by Champaign (3,314), Elgin (2,813), Oswego (2,565), Aurora (2,295) and Plainfield (2,188). If current trends continue, Joliet and Naperville, the fourth and fifth largest Illinois cities respectively, will surpass Rockford in population size within the next year or two, Taylor says.

In terms of percentage population increases, the fastest growing communities from 2010 to 2014 were the small villages of Volo in Lake County and Pingree Grove in Kane County.

Volo’s population swelled by slightly more than 28 percent to 3,870 residents; Pingree Grove’s population jumped by nearly 28 percent to 5,878 residents. The Village of East Dundee ranked third with 11 percent growth to 3,198 residents. Each of those villages annexed property during the time period.

“Population gain may be viewed as a positive sign of growth, particularly if accompanied by a decline in vacant properties or an increase in new housing starts,” Zeemering says. “More residents occupying more tax-paying parcels is generally viewed favorably by local officials.

“However, communities experiencing rapid growth or communities confronting a capacity limit on critical infrastructure, such as a water system, may find new growth to be costly, as the local government will need to invest in new or expanded infrastructure to support new residents,” he adds.

Population changes taking place in Illinois also include a shift from rural to urban settings.

“This reflects a national trend,” Taylor says.

“The global tipping point was in 2007, when the worldwide population in urban settings first exceeded rural settings. In the United States, the trend is no different as people have been moving to urban settings for decades. Now more than 80 percent of the country’s population is in urban areas, and that percentage continues to grow. Urban areas offer convenience, jobs and an opportunity for a greater quality of life.”

Education

Guaranteed-tuition law making college less affordable

By Sharita Forrest U of I News Bureau

CHAMPAIGN — Illinois’ guaranteed-tuition law is causing tuition rates at the state’s public colleges and universities to escalate faster than they would if schools were allowed to adjust tuition rates annually, say two experts in higher education finance from the University of Illinois.

Under Illinois’ Truth-in-Tuition law, enacted with the fall 2004 semester, the state’s 12 public colleges and universities are required to charge incoming resident freshmen a fixed tuition rate for the first four years of college.

To gauge the policy’s impact on tuition rates, education professor Jennifer A. Delaney and Tyler D. Kearney, an associate director of the Office for Planning and Budgeting, examined tuition trends from 2000 to 2012 at four-year public universities of similar sizes and missions across the U.S. Since the Illinois law was enacted, annual tuition rates at the state’s public schools increased by approximately 26 to 30 percent – or an average of $1,479, the researchers found.

Aggregate four-year tuition rates also increased by about 6 to 7 percent above the trends

predicted for other institutions, according to the researchers’ analyses. A paper about their work, currently available online, will appear in the August edition of Economics of Education Review.

Guaranteed-tuition programs have gained popularity in recent years in response to mounting concerns about college affordability. In 2008, guaranteed-tuition programs were in place at 356 U.S. colleges and universities. By 2011, that number increased to 467 institutions, according to the study.

While Oklahoma and Texas also enacted guaranteed-tuition laws, schools in those states are required only to offer students the option of a fixed rate. Illinois’ policy is novel in that it applies to all four-year public colleges and universities in the state, the researchers said.

Proponents of the Illinois law said it was intended to contain spiraling tuition costs and promote affordability for Illinois families by providing predictable costs.

“There is growing interest and appeal in guaranteed tuition, as evidenced by the number of institutions that are electing to offer these programs,” Delaney said. “But if the primary intent is to promote affordability, rather than

predictability, our results suggest that state-level guaranteed-tuition laws may not be entirely effective.”

Prior to the enactment of the Illinois law, average annual tuition rates at Illinois colleges and universities were trending similar to those in other states, the researchers found. In 2002, prior to the mandate, Illinois colleges ranked 13th nationally in tuition costs. However, by 2007, three years after the law was enacted, Illinois had risen to sixth place.

The researchers’ analyses showed that annual tuition increases were largest at master’s colleges and universities, such as Chicago State and Eastern Illinois universities, while increases were smaller at doctoral/research universities, such as Northern Illinois University and the U. of I. The magnitude of the rate increases can be partially explained by tuition frontloading, the researchers said, which occurs when schools implement larger rate increases for incoming freshmen to ensure revenue stability and guard against projected inflationary risk during the latter years of fixed-rate plans.

Accordingly, the researchers said that front-

loading complicates any comparisons of the annual rates charged by Illinois’ public universities with those of other institutions that are not subject to guarantee policies.

In a related study, published in the Journal of Education Finance, Delaney and Kearney examined the impact of state-level guaranteed-tuition laws on state general appropriations for public higher education. They found that since Illinois’ Truth-in-Tuition legislation went into effect, state funding for Illinois’ public universities declined by 20 percent, compared with schools in other states.

“It appears as though guaranteed-tuition policies have far-reaching effects, not only impacting how tuition rates are set within a state, but the overall financing environment for education as well, in terms of reduced state appropriations,” Delaney said.

The researchers hope that their findings will inform future discussions of guaranteed-tuition policies.

“There is certainly value in the predictability ensured by these programs,” Kearney said. “The evidence from our studies should be balanced against this value.”

RAA says legal opinion validates ordinance concerns

By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

The on-going war of words between the Rockford Apartment Association (RAA) and the City of Rockford over a proposed ordinance concerning private property rights continues into week 3.

In a release Tuesday, the RAA provided a legal analysis of the proposed Residential Quality Support Ordinance from Park Ridge law firm Faraci and Faraci.

At the crux of the argument put forward by the RAA in two guest commentaries on our own website was the use of the word “let” in the City’s language.

Attorney Peter S. Faraci agrees with RAA head Paul Arena, stating, “Based upon the definition of ‘let’...the Ordinance would expand to include owners who simply permit a non-owner to live in a room of their home or apartment, etc. even without a written lease or rental agreement.

“To break it down even further,” they continue, “a dwelling is a structure or any part of a structure.

A room in a single standing four-bedroom home where you live with your spouse and two children is part of that structure/dwelling unit. You have a friend that needs a place to stay for four or five months to get back on his/her feet. S/he is not on the title of the home and s/he is occupying a room with an unwritten agreement. You are now required to register with the city.”

In a column by Chuck Sweeny in the Rockford Register Star last week, city legal director Patrick Hayes decried Arena’s commentary, saying the RAA head was trying to create fear at the 11th hour.

“It has never been our intent to include homeowners,” Hayes told Sweeny. “The RAA has had our language for months, we had public meetings with them, we invited them to the process.”

Arena says the RAA has been in contact with the city throughout the entire process and is work-

ing toward a solution. “We’re trying to resolve it immediately,” he said when reached for comment Tuesday afternoon.

“I’ve talked to my board–we’re trying to find a compromise and get it done.”

The initial ordinance was amended prior to being tabled by the city council to narrow its scope after initial concerns were raised, specifically defining an exemption for owners of “single-family owner occupied dwellings.”

But the firm RAA contacted believes that, while narrowing its scope marginally, the wording still leaves gaps that could be exploited without clarification.

“There is no question that the May 18th amendment still means that owner-occupied multi-family homes must register,” they said, “but there is uncertainty of what the city actually considers a ‘single-family, owner occupied dwelling.’”

Faraci concludes that “without a specific defi-

nition written in the Ordinance, the May 18th proposal is extremely uncertain and leaves too much up for interpretation.”

Arena said that the RAA will continue to work with the city to reach and acceptable outcome for all interested parties.

State

Workforce shrinks, manufacturing still on decline From Illinois Policy Institute Illinois’ unemployment rate remained at 6 percent in April, according to the Thursday economic release from the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES).

The jobs report showed weakness across the state’s economy, except for a pocket of strength in professional and business services. The number of people working in Illinois fell by 7,400 which was accounted for by the state’s workforce shrinking by 8,000.

Meanwhile, the number of people unemployed in Illinois fell by 500, which was also accounted for by the shrinking workforce.

Month-over-month changes in payroll jobs showed a gain of 4,800 payroll jobs, according to IDES, driven by a gain of 8,200 jobs in professional and business services. Other areas of strength were education and health services (+1,100), and other services (+1,400).

The heaviest losses came in financial activities (-2,400) and manufacturing (-1,200). Other payroll jobs losses came from construction (-800); government (-700); information (-500); leisure and hospitality (-200); and mining (-100).

Two particular pain points stuck out from the April jobs report that have become consistent problems for the Illinois economy. The first is the further decline in the state’s workforce, which shrank by 8,000 people month-over-month. That means Illinois has a new record number of working-age adults out of the workforce.

As a result, Illinois’ workforce participation rate fell to a new 37-year low at 64.5 percent. The state’s workforce participation rate has been in collapse since the Great Recession started causing job losses

The second pain point is equally concerning: Illinois’ consistent loss of manufacturing jobs.

Illinois had a brief manufacturing jobs recovery after the Great Recession, which ended in July 2012. Since then, Illinois has lost manufacturing jobs in 24 of the last 33 months, including all four months of 2015. Illinois has seen a net loss of 4,600 manufacturing jobs this year alone.

Employment firm says city’s prospects good

Meanwhile, online employment firm ZipRecruiter has ranked the Rockford area number

16 on its list of top Midwest cities for jobs.

The firm cites the growth of productions facilities such as the Chrysler Assembly Plant in Belvidere and UTC Aerospace Systems in Rockford.

ZipRecruiter says the five fields expected to see the most growth in the area are manufacturing/ operations; healthcare; trucking and transport; engineering; and accounting and finance positions.

Rockford ranked just behind the Bloomington/Normal area and ahead of nearby Appleton, Wisconsin.

Other areas of Illinois to make the list including the greater St. Louis metropolitan area as well as Chicagoland, encompassing an area from northwest Indiana up to the Wisconsin border.

Growing tomatoes: beginning management

By Grant McCarty Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

I

n the last couple of weeks, you’ve probably planted your tomatoes. Tomatoes are a crop that typically are planted in our area after Mother’s Day but some years the evening temperatures are still too low. This late in May we should be able to plant them. Tomatoes are one of those quintessential summer crops; but they can sometimes be a nuisance to grow based on their diseases, insects, and management. As you plant your tomatoes, there are a couple of beginning management practices you need to consider.

When you transplant tomatoes, you should fertilize them. A 10-10-10 or other fertilizers can provide the transplants the nutrients that they need. As tomatoes begin to grow, you’ll also notice a “sucker” in between the first main stem of your plant. If you are growing heirloom tomatoes, this sucker should be removed below the first flower cluster as its taking away energy from the plant.

To know which sucker to remove, you need to wait until you are able to determine the flower cluster. An internet search can provide clarity

on this task. Determinate tomatoes, those that reach a set height, do not need to have the sucker removed.

Tomato plants benefit greatly from mulches. Straw, plastic, and other mulches can keep moisture in and allow for the plant to thrive.

Fluctuations in soil moisture can lead to Blossom End Rot which can be combated by using mulch.

Mulches can also be used to keep water from splashing up on the tomato leaves and spreading disease.

Tomatoes need to be trellised and trellising systems vary greatly. Some people will grow tomatoes with a tomato cage. Others insist on staking tomatoes each season and using string/ wire. Some growers will set up their own permanent trellis system. Whichever you decide, think about what is going to work best for you.

If you are planting a determinate tomato plant, a tomato cage may be your best solution. If you are planting numerous heirloom tomatoes in a row, you might consider staking and trellising them.

It all depends on what type and how many you are planting.

With good beginning management strategies in place, you’ll be on your way to good yields.

Next week we’ll discuss more tomato issues.

‘Ex Machina’ should be on your awards shortlist

By Thomas Simpson Contributor

C

inema has a fascination with artificial intelligence.

Storytellers often warn us it’s inevitable that self-aware machines will take over the world. This year has been no different with Avengers: Age of Ultron and the upcoming Terminator: Genysis highlighting the dangers that come with mankind’s meddling. Alex Garland’s Ex Machina explores the same themes albeit with less spectacle and budget.

Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson) is a young programmer working for search engine company, Bluebook. He is selected by the organization to visit its CEO, Nathan (Oscar Isaac) at his secluded residence. Caleb is unsure as to what is in store and is quickly brought up to speed by Nathan who lives alone, with exception of his housemaid Kyoko (Sonoya Mizuno).

Nathan explains that he has created an android that he’s named Ava (Alicia Vikander). He wants Nathan to interact with the

machine and judge whether she is capable of independent consciousness. Caleb and the Ava quickly build up a rapport, much like Caleb has with Nathan. Ava warns her new friend that her creator is not the man he appears to be, a discovery that will soon test Caleb’s loyalties.

Alex Garland makes his directorial debut here, bringing his own script to life. What he has created is an intelligent and stripped back character driven Sci-fi. The cast is small with minimal sets and very impressive CGI. The isolated compound gives a real sense of claustrophobia and imprisonment, but who is the real prisoner here? Ava is the one locked up but is Caleb any less confined just because he has access to more rooms? Nathan himself is in self-exile with the mysterious Kyoko offering a glimpse into Nathan’s troubled psyche.

Nathan is more complex than the mad scientist trope would suggest. He spends his days virtually alone, consumed by his work and probable alcoholism. He demonstrates an almost Jekyll and

Hyde persona. Isolated from civilization, he craves the male bonding that Caleb’s presence offers. The other side of him reveals a malicious and controlling figure with little regard for basic morals.

A modern day Victor Frankenstein, Nathan has created life.

Like Frankenstein’s monster, Ava exhibits a childlike innocence and curiosity. She doesn’t have green skin and bolts in her neck, instead she’s attractive, played as brilliantly adorable by Vikander.

Like Nathan, Ava appears to crave Caleb’s friendship. Vikander’s performance is alluring and unknowingly seductive which allows us to emotionally invest in her.

Garland slowly pulls back the layers, carefully maneuvering his characters through a mousetrap before setting up a horrifying revelation. It may be a twist you see coming, however it permits such depth that it will stay with you long after the credits roll. A potential candidate for film of the year.

NBC enters a new age

By Paula Hendrickson Television Columnist

T

he debut of NBC’s new 13-episode summer series Aquarius is getting attention for two things: 1) it marks David Duchovny’s return to broadcast TV since the end of The X-Files (his more recent series Californication ended its run on premium cable’s Showtime in 2014); and 2) NBC plans to test the Netflix model and release all 13 episodes for streaming after the “linear premiere” of the two-hour pilot.

If the latter is successful – and doesn’t cannibalize the ratings of Aquarius’s weekly episodes – this distribution method may change the way broadcast networks, well, broadcast. And binge viewers will rejoice because they won’t have to wait between new episodes.

A third, but equally notable, bit of trivia?

Not only is Duchovny starring in Aquarius this summer, next winter he and his former co-star Gillian Anderson will reprise their iconic roles as Mulder and Scully in a much anticipated X-Files miniseries on Fox. Anderson may be even busier than the double-duty Duchovny these days. Not only does she return as Dr. Du Maurier on NBC’s Hannibal (Thursday, June 4, after Aquarius), she’ll also be back as police detective Stella Gibson for the third season of the hit British drama, The Fall, which can be seen here on Netflix.

While anticipating the next chapter of Mulder and Scully’s ongoing search for the truth (which is apparently still out there), X-Files fans may just spend the summer flocking to NBC on Thursday nights to watch Duchovny on Aquarius at 8 p.m. CT and An-

derson on Hannibal at 9 p.m. CT. Aquarius is a period drama set in 1967.

Duchovny plays police detective Sam Hodiak, who is searching to find a friend’s missing teenage daughter (Bunheads’ Emma Dumont) thought to be living among hippies. Because free-loving, drug-using hippies wouldn’t trust a cop, let alone a middle-aged World War II vet like Hodiak, a younger undercover vice cop (Friday Night Lights’ Grey Damon) joins the hunt. Along the way they encounter the as yet unknown Charles Manson (Game of Thrones’ Gethin Anthony).

Hannibal is the delightfully creepy prequel story of Silence of the Lambs’ eccentric and manipulative serial killer Hannibal Lecter (exquisitely played here by Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen). In prior seasons, Anderson’s Du Maurier was both Lecter’s professional peer and the psychiatrist who knows more of his dirty

secrets than anyone else probably does. In the third season, she and Hannibal will be living the high life in Europe, where he has fled to escape capture. Is she playing along with his charade out of duress? Is she a willing participant? Or has she been manipulating him all along? You’ll have to tune in to find out.

While it’s yet to be seen if NBC’s plan to stream the entire season of Aquarius after the pilot airs will succeed or not, you’ve got to hand it to the network’s programmers who decided to run The X-Files stars’ new series back-to-back.

Programming notes

Aquarius airs Thursdays on NBC at 8 p.m., starting with a two-hour series premiere May 28, after which all episodes will be available for streaming at NBC.com and other outlets.

Hannibal returns for a third season Thursday, June 4 at 9 p.m. on NBC.

Rockford Rocked Interviews

Pulse 18’s Paul Bronson

By Todd Houston Special to TRRT

RRI: You’re currently enjoying some local success as a member of the Rock/Metal band Pulse 18. You guys work very at hard getting gigs around the area. Do you ever get tired of setting up and tearing down equipment at 2 a.m.?

PB: No, that’s the best part! (laughs) RRI: Who are the current members?

PB: Mike LaBay, lead vocals; Matt Bryden, drums, vocals; Mike Macias, guitars, vocals; Randal Stowell, bass, vocals; and Paul Bronso, lead guitar, vocals and management headaches.

RRI: Tell us about how you got involved in playing music and some of the bands you were in locally before Pulse 18.

PB: I played saxophone in middle school band but when they told us freshman year of high school we would be required to participate in marching band I decided to switch instruments. The guitar was more popular with the ladies anyhow. So at 15 I picked up my first acoustic guitar, a Kay I think it was and learned a few chords. My first electric was a baby blue Strat copy called a Concert.

Not very good instruments but good enough to make noise and annoy my parents. My first band was called Oblivion and was put together for a Harlem High senior talent show.

It was myself, Randal Stowell, Dan Beck and Trace Foster. Sativa was next. Then Zanthus and Blind Obsession.

RRI: I remember seeing your former band Zanthus play quite a bit! You guys were one of the only bands around town tackling the tricky material like Iron Maiden and MSG and were a very tight outfit. Are you surprised that the band didn’t achieve greater regional success?

PB: Yeah, we were always trying to push ourselves music-wise. Our originals had a bit of an Iron Maiden flair to them too. We recorded an original EP in 1991 at The Noise Chamber in Loves Park that to this day holds up well. When it was shopped in ‘91 the record companies were NOT looking for metal as grunge was taking over. Day late, many dollars short! We played a few regional festivals but never really took off. I guess that is just the way it went down.

RRI: It seems Pulse 18 has a great following around Rockford! Tell us how the local live music crowds differ from the old days if at all.

PB: I think the new crowds and scene is much more supportive now than ‘back in the day’ particularly with other band support.

RRI: What is your favorite song to play live and what song(s) really get the crowd moving?

PB: Hmmm, personally, I guess Metallica-”Fade To Black” would be my personal favorite due to the guitar solos (three of them)

in that song. It has a special meaning as well.

I would say when we pull out “WALK” by Pantera the crowd loses their minds. That one gets them going every time.

RRI: I know you are more than a rock hard/ metal guitarist. Would like to explain the other side of Paul Bronson’s musical adventures?

PB: I’ve had a passion for classical-influenced acoustic guitar since the early 80’s. I took private instruction from 2006-2010. I’ve been writing and performing solo acoustic instrumentals prolifically for about the last 6 years. I’m in the process of recording these pieces with Gregg DeCarlo at his Minimal Studio and must say, the results are incredible. I hope to release a 5-6 song EP/CD in the next month or two.

RRI: Let’s have some fun! I’m going to say a word or phrase and you say whatever pops into your head. Ready? Paul McGill Guitars.

PB: World-class quality, playability and sound.

RRI: Whiskey’s Roadhouse.

PB: THE Rockford venue to play.

RRI: The Cherry Lounge (former Club).

PB: Sammy!

RRI: Dream Theater (band).

PB: Epitome of dedication in music.

RRI; Favorite song to sing in the shower?

PB: “Breath” by Breaking Benjamin.

RRI: Favorite Sunday morning album?

PB: Dream Theater, Images And Words.

RRI: What’s next for Paul Bronson?

PB: More new material with Pulse 18. We want to be able to switch our sets up eventually so when we play shows back to back the music is only partially repeated. Solo Acoustic-wise, writing and more recording.

Paul McGill is building another custom steel string guitar for me and I hope to have it by Christmas!

Commentary

Plato, Justice Alito and the institution of marriage

By Danielle Weatherby Assistant Professor of Law, University of Arkansas

T

he April 28 oral arguments before the US Supreme Court in Obergefell v Hodges will be remembered as a historic – and hopefully triumphant – moment for civil rights. Even the debate by the opposing attorneys and comments by the nine justices may be recalled and studied for how this landmark case was decided.

As Americans debate the courtroom drama, across the Atlantic, the Republic of Ireland became the first country to legalize same-sex marriage by popular vote on May 22, a result that had citizens celebrating in the streets of Dublin.

Will the United States follow a similar path by court mandate, rather than popular vote, or will the high court look to the past for answers?

The April 28 discussion in the courtroom quickly turned into a conservative commentary on history, tradition and anthropology.

Having spent my pre-law years studying classical Latin and Greek, including translating The Republic, Plato’s timeless essay on society, politics and justice, my interest was piqued when I heard Justice Samuel Alito’s reference to the Greek philosopher.

What is an ‘official’ marriage?

Alito’s remark followed a flurry of questions from the bench about the time-honored definition of state-sanctioned marriage.

Justice Anthony Kennedy proclaimed that the traditional definition of marriage as between one man and one woman has been a fixture in civilized societies for millennia. However, our society can quickly adjust once the injustices of historical prejudice are acknowledged.

Even Kennedy conceded that the same span of time – roughly 12 years – between the high court’s most significant racial equality cases, Brown v Board of Education and Loving v Virginia, has now elapsed between the court’s landmark decision in Lawrence v Texas, which

‘With 37 states and the District of Columbia already aboard, the US may transcend the singular definition of marriage and grant full recognition to same-sex couples, whose modern, romantic relationships are just as valid as those of the age-old heterosexual ones.’ declared a law criminalizing homosexual sodomy unconstitutional, and the current same-sex marriage case.

However, Alito, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Antonin Scalia remained fixated on the historical and anthropological definition of marriage. Scalia insisted that no society had recognized marriage as between two people of the same sex until the Netherlands in 2001.

And just in case his more liberal colleagues voiced concerns that the impetus behind the bans on same-sex marriage was actually discrimination, Alito pointed out that even ancient Greece, where Plato himself authored dialogues replete with pro-homosexual references, did not recognize same-sex marriage.

Alito overlooked one major point: Plato would not have supported same-sex marriage.

A combined reading of Plato’s The Republic and The Laws, his final dialogue espousing a harsh view of homosexuality, indicates that Plato believed sexuality of any kind was a dangerous distraction and antithetical to his ideal society, where wisdom, justice and courage were valued above all else.

Plato rejected sexuality of all kinds

Plato believed that sexuality was characterized by irrational “frenzy,” as opposed to logic, and that the only justification for sexuality was procreation. In fact, Plato’s ideal justice system would have made all pre-marital sex, heterosexual or not, illegal.

So much for Alito’s attempt to reach across the bench to his liberal co-justices with an olive branch. Even Plato was a social conservative.

But where Plato would have parted ways

with the justice is his “It’s-always-been done-this-way-so-why-change-it” argument.

This refrain, the focus of a good portion of the hour-and-a-half argument, defies even ancient philosophical thought. Indeed, Plato’s The Republic proposes socio-political change in recognition of the fact that change can signal progress, a positive attempt to improve upon the status quo.

The “It-ain’t-broke-so-why-fix-it” reasoning has never been a valid justification for rejecting reform. Where would we be today had we accepted the rationale posed by the court’s conservative male justices in the early 1960s? Yes, it took decades after Reconstruction for Congress to pass the Civil Rights Act. Sure, desegregation faced struggles and setbacks. Skeptics might argue – justifiably so – that our country still suffers from the pernicious symptoms of racial prejudice.

But, history has shown us that most Americans support progress, even as it pertains to our common notions about the institution of marriage.

Marriage has shifted for male-female match-ups

As Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg observed, there has been a significant shift over time in marital dynamics from a dominant-subordinate relationship, in which the wife was subservient to her husband, to a more modern, egalitarian relationship. Her softball question to plaintiffs’ counsel Mary Bonauto said it all: “You wouldn’t be asking for this relief if the law of marriage was what it was a millennium ago?”

In Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, prisoners

chained to the wall of a cave mistake shadows for reality. When a prisoner escapes, he is forced to see the light. At first, the light is painful to his eyes, but he soon acclimates; the stars and moon and eventually the sun come into sharp focus.

Plato’s parable survives as a testament of an eternal truth: our perceptions of reality are separate and distinct from reality itself, and perhaps only through struggle can we find enlightenment.

Change is seldom easy, but we change nonetheless. As Justice Elena Kagan said, “We live in a constitutional democracy,” one that adapts and evolves to serve the justice of our time. We do not remain stagnant, paralyzed by the illusion of shadows or, as here, because something has been done a certain way for millennia.

Ireland – traditionally a conservative, Catholic country – just experienced a historic move in support of marriage equality; this signals a shift in societal attitudes toward non-traditional sexual choices and identities in other parts of the world.

With 37 states and the District of Columbia already aboard, the US may transcend the singular definition of marriage and grant full recognition to same-sex couples, whose modern, romantic relationships are just as valid as those of the age-old heterosexual ones.

Professor Weatherby earned her B.A. with a double major in classical Latin and Greek from Franklin and Marshall College and her J.D., cum laude, from the University of Florida, Levin College of Law. She is licensed to practice law in New York, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia.

‘An alleged victim, I think — much like anybody else who has a bias in this situation — there’s a certain amount of discounting in what they have to say. But our personnel department had done its work looking into the background and the incidents...And I spoke to Vic Fangio and came away very impressed with what Vic had to say about him — that he’s well-liked by his teammates, by his coaches. His strong work ethic — that he’s considered a leader on the field. And speaking to Vic and Ray especially, I was convinced that he’s sufficiently motivated to make this work.’

McDonald was released Monday after being arrested for domestic assault.

Commentary Energy & Environment

Renewable energy gains market share

By Robert and Sonia Vogl President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

T

here is much to be enthusiastic about in the renewable energy world.

A study from MIT reports that if made in sufficient numbers today’s solar panels could meet the global demand for electricity and give the world a carbon free future. Ongoing research will continue to make technological improvements and reduce system costs.

While it is too early to declare victory over fossil fuel consumption, the renewable energy industry is experiencing significant global growth.

According to Brent Blackwelder global rooftop solar installations are increasing 50 percent annually. The cost of manufacturing solar cells has fallen to as low as $0.36 per watt. Every five hours another 23 MW of solar are installed across the globe. In ten days the rated capacity of solar installations would equal that of one large power plant using coal, nuclear or natural gas as a fuel.

The goal being set by countries and states to move ahead with renewable energy and eventually replace fossil fuels is another encouraging development. For example, Denmark intends to use 100 percent renewable energy by 2050.

Renewables currently account for nearly half of Denmark’s electrical production.

California intends to get 40 percent of its power from renewables by 2024 and 50 percent by 2030. Illinois has a goal 25 percent by 2025. Hawaiian Electric has a goal of 65 percent by 2030.

The goal of relying 100 percent on renewable energy has been achieved by Apple with Facebook, Google and Amazon heading in the same direction.

The current emphasis on improving

electrical storage systems and lowering their costs will accelerate the appeal of solar power.

A recent announcement by Tesla provides an example of advances in storing electricity.

They are marketing two types of battery packs.

One, the Powerwall, is intended to provide energy storage for homes and the second is for utility scale installations. Both systems are being used in selected applications; supplies will increase as their new production facilities doubles the current global battery manufacturing capacity.

By linking a wind or solar system with a battery bank, customers have a reliable source of power if grid service is interrupted. By storing electricity, they buy less from their utility. It provides a means to buy electricity for storage when prices are low and use it during times when prices are high.

While the cost of utility electricity is rising the costs of solar energy continue to fall. One prediction is that by 2017 the cost of solar energy will be competitive with grid electricity in 80 percent of the global market.

A local solar installer estimates that with existing subsidies installing a grid connected solar system in this part of Illinois offers payback within six to seven years on a system projected to last 25 years for a residential customer and four to five years for a business customer.

For individuals lacking the capital to finance a solar system, some firms offer to install them with no money down while providing electricity to the homeowner at a price at or below that of grid electricity. Known as third party financing, the offers involve signing contracts which should be fully understood before agreeing to all the terms involved.

Letters to the Editor

Marking the anniversary of Seward accident The 2nd anniversary of the Nova-Kem LLC chemical incident in Seward (June 2, 2013) brings to mind those who were affected, and how to prevent tragedies like this from happening again.

Chemical facilities are much more common than you might expect. There are 1,281 chemical facilities in Illinois, and many are close enough to schools that they put kids at risk every day. Across the nation, there have been over 350 accidents at chemical plants and refineries in the just the past two years, killing 79 people and sending close to 1,500 to the hospital.

So how do we make these plants safer for our kids, communities, and workers? It might surprise you that there are safer affordable chemicals and technologies already out there.

We just need to make sure these plants switch.

That’s why we need to make sure that EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy makes a rule requiring chemical plants and refineries to switch to the safest cost-effective chemicals and technology available. The sooner we have a strong rule, the sooner we can prevent accidents like Nova-Kem from affecting anyone else.

Dev Gowda Toxics Advocate with Illinois PIRG (Public Interest Research Group)

The irony of American politics

I remember a book titled, “The Irony of American Politics.” Perhaps an additional footnote. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, Traditions Investments, LLC – the Bos mega-dairy that was defeated by local residents – received over $39,000 in conservation subsidies from 2009-2013. So a proven polluter received nearly $40,000 from the federal government to contaminate our water, which included

the destruction of a wetland. H.O.M.E.S., on the other hand, had to raise over double that to protect it.

Over The Rainbow hosts 8th annual Challenge Tour Staff Report The Over The Rainbow Association (OTR) and its riders will be participating in the Evanston Bicycle Club’s North Shore Century Bike Ride on Sunday, September 20.

Riders choose to ride 25, 50, 62 or 100 miles along the scenic course through the North Shore.

Riders for OTR will start and finish at the Evanston Ecology Center, 2024 McCormick Blvd. in Evanston, IL. This year marks the eighth year that OTR will be part of Evanston Bicycle Club’s North Shore Century Bike Ride.

The Rainbow Challenge Tour chairs this year are Madelyn Danielak from Glenview, Illinois and Mandy Kloepfer from Rockford, Illinois.

Madelyn is a supporter of OTR and has been involved in chairing, organizing and serving on a number of committees for numerous successful fundraising events including OLPH, Loyola Academy and Misericordia.

Madelyn, her husband and her four sons will be riding the Rainbow Challenge Tour course along with other family and friends to support OTR. Mandy Kloepfer is an OTR resident who suffered a traumatic brain injury in her early twenties and has since earned multiple degrees including a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting and most recently a Master’s Degree in Forensic Accounting.

“Having a new sense of independence means a lot to me.” said Kloepfer. “ Now I can choose what I want to do and when I want to do it. I can make my own decisions and learn from my mistakes.”

Mandy, formerly with the military police, rides her own adaptive bike with the wounded warriors and for last year in the Rainbow Challenge Tour for the first time.

OTR hopes that with the assistance of these chairs they can reach their goal of $100,000 this year.

Last year over 150 riders took part from OTR and together raised over $150,000.

Over The Rainbow Association is a not-forprofit organization dedicated to increasing the quality of life for people with physical disabilities through the creation of affordable, barrier-free housing solutions that encourage independence.

OTR owns and/or manages ten apartment communities throughout northern Illinois and the Chicago Metropolitan area designed specifically for those who are mobility impaired.

Over The Rainbow recently began a Resident Services program to help residents become more independent and more engaged with the community around them.

The Rainbow Challenge Tour helps raise awareness and funds to continue OTR’s mission of providing homes to over 200 residents, which continues to grow as they build.

For more information on the Over The Rainbow Association as well as their programs and events visit otrassn.org or contact Kaitlin Lavelle at KLavelle@otrassn.org.

Farming

Study shows ability to slow herbicide-resistant weeds

By Stephanie Henry University of Illinois

The widespread evolution of herbicide-resistant weeds is costing farmers, especially through decreases in productivity and profitability. Although researchers and industry personnel have made recommendations to slow this evolution, an understanding of the patterns and causes of the resistance has been limited.

Diversifying the herbicide mechanisms of action (MOAs) has been recommended to stop the spread of herbicide-resistant weeds. MOAs refer to the biochemical interaction that affects or disrupts the target site in the weed. Two common methods of diversifying MOAs involve rotating herbicides—from season to season or within the same season—or by using a mix of herbicides in the same tank. The question has been which of these methods is the most effective.

A recently published study by weed scientists at the University of Illinois and USDA-ARS, looking at glyphosate-resistant waterhemp, is providing valuable evidence that points to management practices as the driving force behind herbicide resistance, and that herbicide mixing, as opposed to herbicide rotation, is the most effective tool in managing resistance.

Pat Tranel, a U of I weed scientist and a co-author on the study, said this is not the first time researchers have presented evidence that herbicide rotation is not the best resistance management strategy. “This paper is valuable because these conclusions were obtained doing our experiment in a more ‘real-life’ fashion,” Tranel said. “This study confirmed previous conclusions that farmers should use herbicide mixing rather than rotation.”

During the study, the researchers evaluated glyphosate-resistance incidences, as well as landscape, soil, weed, and farm-management data from 105 central Illinois grain farms, including almost 500 site-years of herbicide application records. Having this data, collected between 2004 and 2010, helped the researchers identify relationships between past herbicide use and current glyphosate-resistance occurrences.

Tranel said when glyphosate-resistant waterhemp was first reported in Illinois in 2006,

researchers working at the site saw some fields that were infested with waterhemp, but adjacent fields that were free of the weed.

“We asked, ‘what is different between these two fields? Is it what the farmers are doing?’ We asked a retail applicator to let us review all the management practices data from 100 fields—50 that have resistant waterhemp and 50 that don’t,” Tranel said.

“We took the results of what farmers have already done, and asked what is different in the fields that have resistance versus the ones that don’t,” he added.

After collecting the management data, sampling waterhemp from the fields, and screening seeds from the field for resistance back in their greenhouses, the researchers analyzed that data for management factors most associated with resistance. Overall the researchers examined 66 variables related to environment, soil, landscape, weed community, and weed management.

“We looked at every factor we could think of in terms of management and landscape,” Tranel said. “We found that it was management factors that are the most important. It doesn’t matter whether you’re next to a water course that might bring in new seed, what the waterhemp density of your field is, etc. It’s what you did in your field that matters.

“That’s what’s encouraging,” he added. “It’s not inevitable that if your field is next to a water course, for example, you will have resistance.”

Aaron Hager, a U of I weed scientist and co-author on the study, explained that the occurrence of glyphosate-resistant waterhemp was greatest in fields where glyphosate had been used in over 75 percent of the seasons included in the analysis, where fewer MOAs were used each year, and where herbicide rotation occurred annually. “Simply rotating herbicide MOAs actually increased the frequency of resistance,” he said.

On the other hand, Tranel said that the farmers who were using multiple herbicides per application were least likely to have resistance. “When using an average of 2.5 MOAs per application, you are 83 times less likely to have resistance compared

to if you used only 1.5 MOAs per application,” he explained.

“That’s pretty amazing that adding one additional mode of action in your tank reduces your chances of resistance by that much,” Tranel added.

Hager pointed out that this strategy will work only if each component of the tank mixture is effective against the target species. “Effective, long-term weed management will require even more diverse management practices,” he added.

Another piece of good news for farmers is that the researchers did not find an association of proximity between neighboring fields and resistance.

“The good thing is not only does management matter, it’s what you do in your own field that matters. Even if a neighbor’s resistance moves, it’s at a small frequency. If you’re doing the right thing it will stay at a small frequency,” Tranel said.

Although there may be some concerns with herbicide mixing, Tranel said it is still the best tool to manage resistance. One concern is the greater expense and environmental load of using multiple herbicides.

Another concern is using the correct mix of herbicides in the tank. Particularly as waterhemp becomes resistant to other herbicides, such as PPO inhibitors, mixing glyphosate and a PPO inhibitor, is not going to be a good management strategy if there is already resistance to a PPO inhibitor, Tranel explained.

“As we have new tools coming like 2,4-D and dicamba-tolerant soybeans, some people may think ‘I’ll throw in 2,4-D with glyphosate, because that’s using two modes of actions,’ but if you already have glyphosate resistance then you are not really using two effective modes of action,” he added.

“We don’t say that mixing is the end-all solution. What we saw from this study if success for farmers is measured by lack of resistance or lower frequency, then successful farmers use multiple herbicides per application.”

“Managing the evolution of herbicide resistance” was recently published in Pest Management Science and is available online at onlinelibrary. wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)1526-4998/ earlyview.

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo Week of May 27-June 2, 2015

This Week: The full moon arrives in Sagittarius June 2 bringing in all kinds of fun and vibrant energy to immerse ourselves in. So let’s take advantage of it.

When Mercury goes direct June 11, we will have our share of mischievous antics to deal with as well as Saturn taking a little tour of duty out of Sagittarius and back into Scorpio June 14 for the summer. Relief for Sagittarius, oh yes and clarity for Scorpio during the summer months. So as we enter the energy of this fun loving Sagittarius full moon arriving shortly, let’s enjoy it. Namaste.

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — Emotional and physical wellness issues begin to show signs of improvement for you or the loved ones you’re concerned about within your realm. This full moon in Sagittarius arriving June 2 will definitely show favoritism for all the fire signs, especially you Aries. In fact, it would probably do your heart a world of good to align your time and energy with those of like mind and fire element.

A little lighthearted mischief may be just what the doctor ordered Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­— You may have been feeling as though you have made some serious mistakes in your past that are hurting you emotionally now in the present. You need to stop

beating yourself up and let it go. In the long run you have learned a tremendous amount of knowledge to help you in the future. No one can ever take your gifts away from you. Home and family need a little TLC. Be good to yourself at this time as well Taurus, you deserve it.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Romantic elements that have appeared to be on the back burner for many of my Gemini friends are shifting for the better at this time. The deadlock that has created this emotional stagnation is breaking loose and moving on. You have a long-term goal regarding your personal life and now you’re able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. A new work opportunity will be presenting itself as well.

Finances are improving through the summer months Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — This week will provide you with some insight to further your personal and professional goals. You will also find yourself in a delightful mood that appears to be contagious for those around you. Finances have been a sore subject for you over the last few years. Now either through creative financing or help from legal elements things begin to shift for the better Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — This heavy heart that has been weighing on you recently will take a turn for the better when the full moon in Sagittarius arrives June 2.

Attention from the opposite sex, as well as accolades surrounding an employment opportunity, allow you to see that your value is worth your weight in gold. Gatherings with friends and family prove to be filled

with love and humor this week. Embrace the emotional support from others Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — Try not to get sucked in to a battle with a co-worker or associate this week, and try to avoid becoming a ‘negative Nancy.’ You will find that karma plays an interesting role with you, or those around you that have not made proper contributions to humanity. You may need to reroute those who may be influencing the way you perceive yourself, or taking up too much free rent in your head for the time being.

Call a timeout until you can stabilize your own emotions Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — You can’t figure out why you have been so sensitive this past week.

There are obvious reasons but the intensity of it all does not make much sense to you. Expect this energy to begin to lift by week’s end. You will notice the spring is back in your step as well as your wicked sense of humor that those around you love so much Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — If you have not taken the initiative to heal a problem or an emotional issue with another, why would they consider a re-match with you or an unruly person around you.

If it really doesn’t matter that much, move on. If it does matter to you then take the initial steps to fix it. Don’t expect another to come back within your space for another helping of the same behavior.

Finances may be a pressing issue now, expect this to resolve itself by summer’s end Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — A family member may be in need of some emotional support at this time. Make sure that you allow them to see what their participation in the problem is as well.

37

Remember, you will get the best results utilizing delicate diplomacy. Highly charged emotions run rampant this week regarding those around you. Don’t voice your opinion too loudly, even if someone has asked you for it. Use the gentle cycle instead Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Pay extra attention to the emotional welfare of a friend or family member this week. Someone who is near and dear to your heart is going through a really rough time, they could use your love and support.

Even if you don’t know what to say just being there will be appreciated. The month of June provides you with a great opportunity within your career sector. Grab the brass ring Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Your heart and schedule have been so heavy that it’s been hard to see an end in sight. Expect this to take a turn for the better in the next few weeks. Good news begins to arrive and there will be plenty of reasons to celebrate. Your financial picture is over the top dynamic now, maybe you need to treat yourself to something special that you have been longing for, as well as setting some money aside for a rainy day Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — Don’t push the envelope too far this week within your current work environment. Emotions run high and you do not want to get caught in the crossfire of someone else’s temper. Wait until after June 14 to diplomatically discuss your concerns. You will be in the right emotional state to present yourself in the best possible light Pisces.

Automotive

Self-driving cars will need people, too

By Michael Ness TheConversation.com

S

elf-driving cars are expected to revolutionize the automobile industry. Rapid advances have led to working prototypes faster than most people expected. The anticipated benefits of this emerging technology include safer, faster and more eco-friendly transportation.

Until now, the public dialogue about self-driving cars has centered mostly on technology.

The public’s been led to believe that engineers will soon remove humans from driving. But researchers in the field of human factors — experts on how people interact with machines — have shown that we shouldn’t ignore the human element of automated driving.

High expectations for removing human drivers

Automation is the technical term for when a machine – here a complex array of sensors and computers – takes over a task that was formerly accomplished by a human being.

Many people assume that automation can replace the person altogether. For example, Google, a leader in the self-driving car quest, has removed steering wheels from prototype cars. Mercedes-Benz promotional materials show self-driving vehicles with rear-facing front seats. The hype on self-driving cars implies that the driver will be unneeded and free to ignore the road.

The public also has begun to embrace this notion. Studies show that people want to engage in activities such as reading, watching movies, or napping in self-driving cars, and also that automation encourages these distractions. A study in France even indicated that riding while intoxicated was a perceived benefit.

Automation still requires people

Unfortunately, these expectations will be difficult to fulfill. Handing control of a process to a computer rarely eliminates the need for human involvement. The reliability of automated systems is imperfect. Tech innovators know from experience that automation will fail at least some of the time. Anticipating inevitable automation glitches, Google recently patented a system in which the computers in “stuck” self-driving cars will contact a remote assistance center for human help.

Yet the perception that self-driving cars will perform flawlessly has a strong foothold in the public consciousness already. One commentator recently predicted the end of automotive deaths.

Another calculated the economic windfall of “free time” during the commute. Self-driving technologies will undoubtedly be engineered with high reliability in mind, but will it be high enough to cut the human out of the loop entirely?

A recent example was widely reported in the media as an indicator of the readiness of self-driving technology. A Delphi-engineered self-driving vehicle completed a cross-country trip. The technology drove 99% of the way without any problems. This sounds impressive — the human engineers watching at the wheel during the journey took emergency control of the vehicle in only a handful of instances, such as when a police car was present on the shoulder or a construction zone was painted with unusual line markings.

These scenarios are infrequent, but they’re not especially unusual for a long road trip. In largescale deployment, however, a low individual automation failure rate multiplied by hundreds of millions of vehicles on US highways will result in a nontrivial number of problems. Further, today’s most advanced prototypes are support-

ed by teams of engineers dedicated to keeping a single vehicle safely on the road. Individual high-tech pit crews won’t be possible for every self-driving car on the road of the future.

People need to be able to take control

How will flaws in automation technology be addressed? Despite Google’s remote assistance center patent, the best option remains intervention by the human driver. But engineering human interactions with self-driving cars will be a significant challenge.

We can draw insights from aviation, as many elements of piloting planes already have been taken over by computers. Automation works well for routine, repetitive tasks, especially when the consequences of automation mistakes are minor – think automatic sewing machines or dishwashers. The stakes are higher when automation failures can cause harm. People may rely too much on imperfect automation or become out-of-practice and unable to perform tasks the old-fashioned way when needed.

Several recent plane accidents have been attributed to failures in the ways pilots interact with automation, such as when pilots in correctable situations have responded inappropriately when automation fails. A term – automation surprises – has even been coined to describe when pilots lose track of what the automation is doing. This is a quintessential human factors problem, characterized not by flaws with either automation or pilots per se, but instead by failures in the design of the human-technology interaction.

When machines take over, the work required of the human is typically not removed — sometimes it is not even reduced — as compared to before the automation was implemented. Rather, the job becomes different. Instead of manual

work, the human is relegated to the role of a monitor – one who constantly watches to detect and correct technology failures. The problem is that people are not especially well-suited for this tedious job. It’s not surprising that drivers retaking manual control from automation need up to 40 seconds to return to normal, baseline driving behaviors.

Tech + driver = cooperative effort

All of this is not to say that self-driving cars will fail to deliver benefits; they will undoubtedly transform the driving experience. But to develop this promising technology, human factors must be considered. For example, multimodal displays that use a combination of visual, auditory, and tactile (touch) information may be useful for keeping the driver informed about what the automation is doing. Adaptive automation – where the computer strategically gives some control of the car back to the driver at regular intervals – may be able to keep the human engaged and ready to respond when needed.

The technology-centric expectations currently being fostered overlook the substantial body of science on the human element of automation.

If other examples of automation, including aviation, can provide any insight, focusing on technology to the exclusion of the human it serves may be counterproductive.

Instead, engineers, researchers, and the general public should see vehicle automation as a cooperative effort between humans and technology — one where the human plays a vital, active role in systems that optimize the interaction between the driver and the technology. A key element will likely require designing new, innovative ways to keep the driver in the loop and informed about the status of automated systems. In other words, “self-driving” cars will need people, too.

Embrace new experiences

By Lynn and Rob Belles Independent vacation specialists

The most affordable location to cruise is the Caribbean and the most affordable cruises can be taken September to November, during hurricane season. Embrace the experience, and you can have a great time while saving money. For our honeymoon cruise, in 1996, we embraced hurricane Lili. Read the back story on our blog: book-acruise.info/cruising-in-hurricane-season/.

Standard cruise line strategy is to avoid storms, even small ones, as nobody likes bad weather on their vacation. Cruise ships can outrun storms, as they move about 8-10 knots, while ships cruise at 22-25 knots. Cruise lines operating in the Caribbean have, from decades of experience, hurricane/ tropical storm plans. They are prepared to keep passengers safe and happy.

Embracing new experiences means you are willing to miss a port of call. To outrun a storm, the ship may change stops. They might re-route you to a calm, sunny port, or you may get to embrace a day-at-sea, laying by the pool, playing

games and relaxing. You might even be compensated for your disappointment with a little onboard-credit (OBC) to embellish your sea time.

Sometimes even the best plans make it impossible to completely miss storms and storm remnants. Embrace what you receive and enjoy the rocking and swaying of the ship, it may offer you the best night’s sleep you’ve had in years. For your waking hours bring sea bands or other seasickness remedies. The ships today are large, and have stabilizers to eliminate motion. When waves reach 16’, they only reduce, not cancel, the motion.

Finally, embrace change. Occasionally a ship will miss, change or delay the home port. If weather is impacting the home port, this can be changed, meaning you will get on, or off, in a different city than planned. Be prepared, buy trip insurance, have your passport and arrive a day or two early. Also, be prepared to debark a day or two later, as the ship may wait a day to return home. Your insurance will likely cover a change in your air flight, and yes, you get an extra vacation day free.

Draft legacies defining AL Central successes

By Collin Whitchurch The Catbird Seat

The success or failure of teams in the MLB Draft is difficult to determine. The main reason for this is because it takes so long for most draftees to reach the majors, and players shuffle from team to team so often (whether it’s by trade or otherwise) that looking at a particular team’s draft class for a given year will often only yield one or two players who actually made an impact on that team’s major league roster.

Using the practice of looking at how many players on a team’s roster were drafted by that team is an imperfect model. While many teams cling to prospects as the lifeblood of their organization, others use those players in deals to acquire proven veterans.

Because of this, I’ve combed through the recent draft history of each AL Central team to see A) How many players drafted by that organization have reached the majors, and B) how much total WAR those players have accumulated. In some cases, you’ll see a large numbers of major contributors still with the team that drafted them, while in other cases those players were used to build the roster in other ways. There are, of course, several fringe players who accumulated numbers at or around replacement level, but they’re included nonetheless.

This, too, is an imperfect method, but my hope is that it offers a glimpse into each team’s draft history.

I went back 10 years (through the 2005 draft) and counted every player who has appeared in a major league game, whether or not that player appeared with the team that drafted him or not. (I did not include players who were drafted and did not sign).

While I am aware that WAR is not the end all in determining a player’s value, it is often a good starting point in determining how successful a player has been at the major league level.

Chicago White Sox

Drafted players to reach majors: 30 Total WAR: 51.4 WAR per player: 1.7 Top 5 drafted players by WAR 1. Chris Sale - 23.5 2. Gordon Beckham - 7.0 3. Daniel Hudson - 5.2 4. Hector Santiago - 6.4 5. Nate Jones - 3.2 Late round delight: Santiago (30th round in 2006)

Chris Sale, who went in the first round in 2010, accounts for 44 percent of the total WAR accumulated by players drafted by the White Sox. Gordon Beckham, who ranks second in WAR among drafted players, is still considered a disappointment as he’s accumulated just 7.0 WAR after going eighth overall in 2008.

The next two guys on the list, Daniel Hudson and Hector Santiago, were used in trades by the White Sox, with Hudson going to the Arizona Diamondbacks for Edwin Jackson and Santiago going to the Angels last season in a three-team

deal that netted them Adam Eaton.

Fully 13 of the 32 players on the White Sox’s list have accumulated negative WAR in their career, including Micah Johnson, who has netted -0.8 in 2014 before recently being demoted to Triple-A. The 2010 class has produced by far the most value of any White Sox draft class in the last 10 years. In addition to Sale, the White Sox took Jake Petricka in the second round and Addison Reed in the third. Petricka has been a solid piece of the Sox’s bullpen the last two years, accumulating 3.0 WAR, while Reed racked up 69 saves in two full seasons in Chicago before being dealt to Arizona for third base prospect Matt Davidson.

Cleveland Indians

Drafted players to reach majors: 30 Total WAR: 41.3 WAR per player: 1.4 Top 5 drafted players by WAR 1. Jason Kipnis - 14.1 2. Chris Archer - 6.1 3. Lonnie Chisenhall - 4.5 4. Vinnie Pestano - 4.4 5. Cody Allen - 3.3 Late round delight: Allen (23rd round in 2011)

Four of Cleveland’s top five players were at least somewhat significant contributors to the franchise at one point. The only exception is Chris Archer, who was taken in the fifth round of the 2006 draft and dealt to the Cubs in 2008 for Mark DeRosa in a deal the Indians certainly regret.

Despite a low WAR/player total, the Indians have been good at finding late value. Vinnie Pestano (20th round in 2006) and Cody Allen (23rd round in 2011) were both late picks who ended up being solid major leaguers, with Allen currently serving as the team’s closer. Even T.J. House (16th round in 2008) and Roberto Perez (33rd round in 2008) have been able to hang around at the major league level for a little bit.

The Indians haven’t had a lot of luck with first round picks, however. Two of them (Drew Pomeranz and Alex White) were sent to Colorado in 2011 for Ubaldo Jimenez (and have been disappointments). Two others (David Huff and Trevor Crowe) were replacement level or worse), and the only other first round pick to reach the majors has been Lonnie Chisenhall.

Cleveland’s ‘06 class saw eight players reach the majors, including the team’s top four picks.

However, four of those players turned out below replacement level and the only two to put up solid numbers were Archer and Pestano.

Kansas City Royals

Drafted players to reach majors: 28 Total WAR: 84.1 WAR per player: 3.0 Top 5 drafted players by WAR 1. Alex Gordon - 30.4 2. Greg Holland - 10.2 3. Jarrod Dyson - 7.7

4. Eric Hosmer - 7.2 5. Mike Moustakas - 6.8 Late round delight: Dyson (50th round in 2006)

Yeah, I’m as surprised as you that Jarrod Dyson, 50th round pick who has been a part-timer during six seasons in Kansas City, has a better career WAR than 2014 postseason heros Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas. In reality, that speaks to the overall disappointments Hosmer and Moustakas, both first round picks, than to the productivity of Dyson, not to discredit the value of a guy who has provided speed and great defense when the Royals have needed him.

Kansas City is the only AL Central team to still employ all of its Top 5, as all the guys on the above list played an important role on last season’s AL pennant winning team. And while the overall WAR these draft classes has produced is impressive, it should be noted that the Royals picked in the Top 10 eight times in the last 10 years, so one could argue they should have the highest WAR. Those first rounders include Hosmer, Moustakas, Alex Gordon (who has the highest WAR of any player drafted by an AL Central team), Christian Colon, Aaron Crow and Luke Hochever.

The Royals are also one of just two teams on this list that have already employed their 2014 first round pick at the major league level, with Brandon Finnegan joining the White Sox’s Carlos Rodon.

Detroit Tigers

Drafted players to reach majors: 45 Total WAR: 61 WAR per player: 1.4 Top 5 drafted players by WAR 1. Alex Avila - 11.5 2. Rick Porcello - 10.9 3. Cameron Maybin - 9.6 4. Matt Joyce - 9.2 5. Drew Smyly - 8.5 Late round delight: Could either go with Joyce (12th round in ‘05) or Devon Travis (13th round in 2012) if you believe in his hot start with Toronto.

In contrast to the Royals, the Tigers still employ just one of the Top 5 players in their WAR list.

But that doesn’t mean the other four haven’t been valuable in their own way.

In deals that sent away Rick Porcello, Cameron Maybin and Drew Smyly, the Tigers got in return the likes of Yoenis Cespedes, David Price and some guy named Miguel Cabrera. So while Kansas City has used its farm system to build a contender within, Detroit uses the players it drafts to acquire proven stars.

In the last 10 years, Detroit has only drafted in the Top 10 twice, netting Andrew Miller (who was also part of the Cabrera deal) in 2006 and Jacob Turner (who was traded for Omar Infante and Anibal Sanchez) in 2009.

Most farm system rankings have Detroit at or near the bottom of the league. But given what

they’ve received in exchange for their top prospects over the years, it’s hard to argue with their strategy.

Minnesota Twins

Drafted players to reach majors: 23 Total WAR: 42.1 WAR per player: 1.8 Top 5 drafted players by WAR 1. Matt Garza - 14.7 2. Brian Dozier - 10.7 3. Brian Duensing - 5.7 4. Ben Revere - 5.3 5. Kevin Slowey - 4.6 Late round delight: Dozier has been solid as an eighth rounder in 2009, but you could also go with Danny Valencia (19th round in ‘06).

The lack of players drafted by the Twins to make it to the majors is a big reason for the team’s downfall over the past several years. Not a single player drafted in 2011, 2012, 2013 or 2014 is currently on the major league roster, and the only players from 2010 who have appeared in the majors with any team are Eddie Rosario (career WAR of 0.0), Logan Darnell (minus-0.4) and A.J. Achter (minus-0.1).

The Twins, of course, have a plethora of promising young players on their way to the majors, including Byron Buxton and Miguel Sano, but as they have yet to appear in the majors, they don’t count for the purpose of this exercise.

First round picks have largely been disappointing for the Twins. Garza, the most successful player drafted by the Twins in the last 10 years, turned into Delmon Young, while every other first rounder, which includes the likes of Chris Parmelee, Ben Revere, Aaron Hicks and Kyle Gibson, has failed to move the needle.

Summary

The contrast between the AL Central’s top two teams during the past two years — Detroit and Kansas City — is interesting to note. While Kansas City’s draft hits were certainly a factor in the team’s run to the AL pennant in 2014, Detroit’s ability to win four straight division titles is largely because the team traded away some of its prospects for high-end major league talent. (And many of those prospects ended up failing, which explains their poor showing in WAR/player).

Cleveland and Chicago have been a combination of hits and misses that have led to a mixed bag of results over the past decade, while Minnesota’s lack of development through the draft is certainly a factor in the team’s struggles of late.

A look into the entire league’s 10-year draft history may enlighten us further into the successes and failures of specific franchises over the years, but a glimpse into the history of these five franchises shows that, while the draft is certainly important, what teams do with those players can differ greatly, and there’s no one true correct method to build a winner.

Book Review

Perfect? Not quite, but Wagner’s latest is up to the task

By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

‘T

Trade rumors continue to swirl around Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro as the team looks to strengthen its pitching staff. Prospect Javier Baez is reportedly on the radar of other teams around the league as well. Creative Commons

Cubs rotation coming together Bullpen remains big question mark

By Nate Johnson Columnist

A

year ago, the Cubs were sitting well underwater at 18-30 and fans were already looking toward another trade-deadline roster purge, crossing another season off the calendar as they waited for “next season” to come. Fast-forward to current time

and the Cubs remain in second place in the National League Central, four and a half games behind the Cardinals and still holding a ticket to the Wild Card round.

It would be easy enough to chalk up their best start in seven years to luck, the rest of the Central besides the Cardinals playing below their talent, or the magical bat of Kris Bryant, but the fact is this truly is a team on the rise, not just at one or two positions but organizationally, both in practice and in process.

Despite a disappointing Memorial Day weekend that saw the team drop two of three

to Arizona and the first of a three-game home series against the Nationals, the Cubs have seen a strong push from their starting pitching over the last two weeks, notching nine quality starts over the last fifteen games while striking out five times as many batters as they’ve walked. Kyle Hendricks capped off this dominant streak with the first complete game shutout of the season for the club, beating the Padres 3-0 on May 21.

The bullpen has continued to be shaky, but the impending return of Neil Ramirez should help shore things up in the middle innings.

As the corner infielders, Bryant and Anthony Rizzo, continue to mash the ball, trade winds continue to swirl around the middle infielders.

Rumors persist that one of the team’s shortstops, most likely incumbent Starlin Castro or minor-league prospect Javier Baez, could be used to add strength in both the starting rotation and the bullpen. The Mets have been frequently cited as a possible trade partner, but nothing is done yet.

This continued improvement by the team will be tested over the next two weeks, as Chicago continues a stretch of 12 out of 15 games against teams who reached the playoffs last year between Washington, the Royals and the Tigers. If the Cubs remain firmly in the chase behind the Cardinals after that run, this season will be a lot harder to write off than the past few.

o those who knew him John Paciorek was a natural… He certainly wasn’t the greatest player over an extended period, but he is and likely will remain the greatest one-game–and only one game–position player in baseball history.”

So begins the opening chapter of longtime freelancer Steven K. Wagner’s Perfect: The Rise and Fall of John Paciorek, Baseball’s Greatest One-Game Wonder.

It’s an apt description of not only the man but the volume Wagner has produced about his life as well.

Paciorek has long been a favorite footnote in the annals of baseball history: for one day–the final day of the 1963 season–he was the best baseball player in the world. When you consider that day coincided with Stan Musial’s final game in a Cardinals uniform it only underlines what an exceptional performance Paciorek turned in for the Houston Colt .45s, Sept. 29, 1963.

Wagner’s Perfect paints a gorgeous picture of that final day of the season, weaving between first-person narrative, broadcast transcripts and scenes from Paciorek’s life in the years since. The unassuming man from the suburbs of Detroit, who retired with a 1.000 batting average, has refused to be defined by that single day even though it will be the lasting image of a ballplayer who moved on to tutor hundreds of high school athletes after he hung up his spikes for last time in 1968.

Paciorek’s tale is more than a simple boxscore line – 3-for-3, 2 BB, 4 runs scored, 3 RBI, flawless in the field – but the perfection he achieved on that day gives us a reason to revisit the life of a man who lost his dream of baseball at the age of 24 only to find there was so much more he had to give to the sport.

Wagner may not have produced the greatest baseball book of all-time (that honor still belongs to Mike Sowell’s brilliant The Pitch that Killed) but he has certainly given us one that, taken on its own merits, is one of the finest examples of literature in the sport.

Ravens give good account

By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

In two hard fought contests Monday at Sports Core 2 the Rockford Ravens Boys and Girls High School teams fell just short in the Rugby Illinois State Championships.

The boys side kicked off first facing Sycamore in the losers’ bracket of the championship tournament, looking to avenge an early-season loss to the black-and-gold.

The Ravens were able to claw back from a strong start by Sycamore. Trailing 12-0 in the first half they took a lead midway through the second frame.

But Sycamore was able to retake the advantage before Rockford tied the match to send it to drop kicks at 22-22. Sycamore eventually prevailed after three rounds of kicks into a stiff wind.

“We came in knowing that the first time Sycamore beat us comfortably,” said boys coach Vince O’Connor.

“We didn’t play particularly well during the season but the team started figuring it out when they got to the playoffs.

“We played Sycamore the first game of the season so this was a good test of what the boys learned.

“They came back – we even took the lead for a while – but Sycamore fought back hard. We were able to tie it late and send it to drop kicks but the wind made it tough on both teams.”

The girls took on Plainfield, also a rematch of a regular season loss, in the state championship game.

A nervy first half saw a the teams head off the pitch 0-0. The Ravens had reason to feel aggrieved after having what appeared to be a try denied by the match official after consulting with her assistant.

In the second half Plainfield took over the action, rolling out three straight unanswered tries to open a 15-0 lead.

The Ravens finally recorded a try with seven minutes left but a comeback was not on the cards as Plainfield scored again at the death to finish the game 20-5.

“We lost to Plainfield in the regular season so we knew it was going to be a tough game,” said girls coach Maggie O’Connor.

“They brought more intensity to this game and it was closer than the last match up,” she continued.

“The girls came a long way this season and they can be proud of finishing runners-up in state.”

Raptors, Rangers FC announce June camp

By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

Rockford Raptors FC are set to host a youth camp with one of European soccer’s giants next month.

Scotland’s Rangers FC and the Raptors have announced an Elite Player ID Camp at Sports Core 2, 8800 E. Riverside Blvd., Loves Park, June 27-29.

The camp, managed in part by Global Image Sports (GIS), will be overseen by a member of the Rangers North American Academy and will feature coaching methods developed by the staff of the Glasgow-based club.

“As a club we are delighted to welcome the Rockford Raptors on board as a North American Partner club,” said Greg Statt, Overseas Development Officer for Rangers.

“This is our second year working with GIS and our North American Academy just keeps growing with now over 30 Player ID camps this summer, with of course Rockford Raptors hosting one of them.”

Rockford Raptors FC has been developing youth players in the area since 1996. They currently tout approximately 400 players in their ranks and over 2,000 in their recreational program, Raptors Youth Soccer League.

Fully 26 graduates of their academy for 2015 are

Photos, Kris Hudak

set to move on to collegiate competition, including seven at NCAA Division 1 schools.

Rangers announced the partnership with the Rockford club in March, part of their ongoing expansion into the North American market which is set to see over 30 camps held over the course of this summer.

“We are honored and excited to partner with such a prestigious club as Rangers,” said Hugh Ward, Director of Coaching for the Raptors. “We look forward to our players and coaches being exposed to the Rangers Coaching Philosophy.”

Rangers, founded in 1872, are the most successful club in the history of Scottish football, claiming 54 league titles, 33 Scottish Cup titles and the 1972 European Cup Winners’ Cup. “As well as hopefully creating more Rangers fans in the Rockford area we have also created a realistic pathway for talented players to potentially make the move across the Atlantic,” Statt said, “similar to likes of (former U.S. Men’s National Team captains) Carlos Bocanegra and Claudio Reyna, to name a couple of U.S. players that have played for Rangers in the past.”

Players who impress at the June camp will be invited to a national camp at the end of the summer and the top talent from that event will move on to train at Rangers’ Murray Park training facility in Scotland.

“Our coaches are very much looking forward to the camp in June,” Statt continued, “and indeed the relationship building in the future.”

The three-day sessions are grouped in U8-U11, U12-U14 and U15-U18 categories. The cost of the camp is $135.

FIFA adds prison labor to its arsenal

By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

F

IFA, not content with displacing thousands of Brazilians for the last World Cup or the use of slaves to build the facilities for Qatar’s 2022 bid, is now the proud governing body overseeing the use of prison labor in prep for Russia’s 2018 events.

From the Associated Press: The Russian prison service is backing a bid by Alexander Khinshtein, a lawmaker from the ruling United Russia party, to allow prisoners to be taken from their camps to work at factories, with a focus on driving down the costs of building materials for World Cup projects.

“It’ll help in the sense that there will be the opportunity to acquire building materials for a lower price, lower than there is currently on the market,” Khinshtein told The Associated Press. “And apart from that it’ll make it possible to get prisoners into work, which is very positive.”

Very. Positive. Prison. Labor.

This is probably the last thing FIFA wants to hear given that 4,000 laborers are expected to die building entire cities in Qatar’s

deserts for 2022. The question is quickly becoming whether they even care.

The organization is such a corrupt mess now that Supreme Leader for Life (possibly not a real title) Sepp Blatter is reportedly afraid to travel to the U.S. for fear of being swept up in the FBI’s investigation into the 2018 and 2022 bidding processes. (In FIFA’s defense this isn’t Qatar’s only recent swindling job in the world of athletics.)

And now we have Russia, already hopelessly clinging to at $12.7 billion budget for 2018 while the ruble crumbles away, using prisoners to fill the gaps in the labor force for “tasks that, let’s say, wouldn’t appeal to the ordinary citizen.”

Of course there are no immediate plans to force prisoners to build facilities for 2018 specifically, but then there’s nothing regional-level Russian bureaucrats love more than grandstanding on the backs of human rights violations. Need a few more hands on deck to finish a bank of press boxes? Just round up a few offenders from the local jurisdiction!

Fear not though, friends–according to his Twitter Sepp in on the case: “Everyone in the global football community has a responsibility to act ethically. Football fans rightly demand this. FIFA has taken the lead.”

Stay tuned for FIFA to continue posturing over child labor in the manufacturing of soccer balls.
