In Brief SUN foreclosure prevention program comes to Illinois

RockRiverTimes.com May 13, 2015 | Vol . 22 | No. 30

Index

Boston Community Capital’s (BCC) foreclosure relief program, the Stabilizing Urban Neighborhoods (SUN) Initiative, has started accepting applications from homeowners in Illinois.

This non-profit program buys troubled homes from lenders at fair market prices and sells them back to the original homeowners with mortgages they can afford.

This program has already received vast praise for keeping families in their own homes and preventing more properties from becoming vacant.

This initiative started in 2009 and has since kept more than 500 families from losing their homes, reducing monthly mortgage payments and principal balances by an average of 38 percent.

Homeowners who are approved for the program are offered a 30-year fixed rate mortgage with no prepayment penalty.

ACLU says ISP drone plans OK, warns no laws set in stone From Illinois News Network ilnews.org

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Illinois praises the steps the Illinois State Police (IPS) went through in setting up their Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), including working with the group to balance civil rights with the new law enforcement tools.

Ed Yohnka from the ACLU of Illinois says they worked with ISP before the law enforcement agency got the green light from the FAA Friday. I t’s a different story when it comes to automatic license plate reading or cell phone intercepting technology being utilized by domestic law enforcement.

The ACLU says there are no current laws specifically addressing those tools but they’re currently being used in various capacities by law enforcement across the state.

There is a law pending in the state Senate that would regulate ALPRs used by police.

But, Yohnka tells WMAY Springfield that right now it’s the wild west for some of those other advanced tools like ALPR or cell phone interceptors.

“That’s really, going back to the discussion of the drones or the Unmanned Aerial Systems, that’s why it was so imperative to get those regulations that we got a couple of years ago in place before anybody had one of these devices.”

Meanwhile ISP says they plan to use the UAS for specific reasons like traffic accidents, missing persons searches, natural disasters and crime scenes. If they use it for surveillance, ISP says they will have to get a warrant.

New internship program at Treasurer’s office

Illinois Treasurer Mike Frerichs announced a new internship program at the state’s office after the previous program came under fire.

“Many of the interns can probably earn college credit,” said Frerichs. “It’s an opportunity for us to provide real world, hands on experience to these students.”

A review of the office democrat Frerichs took over from republican Dan Rutherford found an intern program that lacked formal policies, procedures and supervision which led to inaccurate time sheets, excessive expense claims and travel voucher errors.

Several dozen connected individuals received paid internships but there were no guidelines or performance follow ups.

Phones down, class Districts nationwide are reviewing bans on cell phones in class, but a new study says that may be bad science

By Richard Murphy & Louis-Phillippe Beland University of Texas-Austin & Louisiana State University

H

ow does the presence of mobile phones in schools impact student achievement?

This is an ongoing debate in many countries today. Some advocate for a complete ban, while others promote the use of mobile phones as a teaching tool in classrooms.

So, the question is: Should schools allow the use of mobile phones?

While views remain divided, some schools are starting to allow a restricted use of mobile phones. Most recently, New York Mayor de Blasio lifted a tenyear-ban on phones on school premises, with the chancellor of schools stating that it would reduce inequality.

As researchers studying the economics of education, we conducted a study to find out what impact banning mobile phones has had on student test scores in subsequent years.

We found that not only did student achievement improve, but also that low-achieving and at-risk students gained the most. We found the impact of banning phones for these students equivalent to an additional hour a week in school, or to increasing the school year by five days.

After schools banned mobile phones, test scores of students aged 16 increased by 6.4 percent of a standard deviation, which means that it added the equivalent of five days to the school year.

While our study was based in the UK, where, by 2012, 90.3 percent of teenagers owned a mobile phone, these results are likely to be significant even here in the US, where 73 percent of teenagers own a mobile phone.

It is important to note that these gains are prominent amongst the lowest achievers, and changing policy to allow phones in schools has the potential to exacerbate learning inequalities.

The gains observed amongst students with lowest achievement when phones were banned were double those recorded among average students. Our results also indicate the ban having a greater impact on special education needs students and those eligible for free school meals.

percent of schools did not allow phones on school premises (or required them to be handed in at the beginning of the day).

We compared the gains in student test scores within and across schools before and after a ban.

In addition, the administrative data gave us information on student characteristics such as gender, eligibility for free school meals, special education needs status and prior educational attainment. This allowed us to calculate the impact on students from each of these groups.

School policy varies on phones

Technological advancements are commonly viewed as increasing productivity.

Modern technology is used in the classroom to engage students and improve performance. There are, however, potential drawbacks as well, as they could lead to distractions.

Mobile phones are a prime example of this, as they provide students with access to texting, games, social media and the internet.

A review of literature in our study suggests ambiguous impact of use of technology in the classroom on student achievement.

We add to this by demonstrating that mobile phones could have a negative impact on students’ learning outcomes.

The financial resources that schools would require for a similar gain in instruction time (the equivalent of restricting mobile phone use) would be quite substantial.

These findings do not discount the possibility that mobile phones and other forms of technology could be useful in schools if their use is properly structured.

However, our findings do suggest that the presence of mobile phones in schools should not be ignored.

The mayor of New York got rid of the ban on mobile phones with an argument that this would reduce inequalities. However, as our research shows, the exact opposite result is likely. Worse, allowing phones into schools would harm the lowest achieving and low income students the most.

TheConversation.com.

‘After schools banned mobile phones, test scores of students aged 16 increased by 6.4 percent...which means that it added the equivalent of five days to the school year.’

Increased student performance

We studied mobile phone bans in England, as mobile phones are very popular there amongst teenagers. The research involved surveying schools in four cities in England (Birmingham, London, Leicester and Manchester) about their mobile phone policies since 2001 and combining it with student achievement data from externally marked national exams.

However, banning mobile phones had no discernible effect on high achievers.

Also, interestingly, 14-year-olds were not significantly affected in either direction. This could be due to low phone use amongst this age group.

Impact on student performance

Schools in England have complete autonomy regarding their mobile phone policy. This has resulted in large differences in the timing of the introduction of mobile phone bans. This variation facilitated our study.

Our research used the differences in implementation dates across schools and noted subsequent changes in student test scores.

In 2001 none of the surveyed schools had a ban in place. By 2007 this had increased to 50 percent and by 2012, 98

Wetlands continue to reduce nitrates

By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – Wetlands created 20 years ago between tile-drained agricultural fields and the Embarras River were recently revisited for a new two-year University of Illinois research project. Results show an overall 62 percent nitrate removal rate and little emission of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas.

“Slowing down the rate of flow of the water by intercepting it in the wetland is what helps to remove the nitrate,” says Mark David, a University of Illinois biogeochemist in the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences.

“The vegetation that grows in the wetland doesn’t make much of a difference because the grasses don’t take up much nitrogen. It’s just about slowing the water down and allowing the microbes in the sediment to eliminate the nitrate.

It goes back into the air as harmless nitrogen gas.”

David was involved with research on these same wetlands from 1994-98 but didn’t take any measurements after that. He has spent much of his career studying the runoff from tile-drained fields and methods to reduce losses of nitrate and phosphorus.

The runoff, particularly nitrate, from fields in the upper Mississippi River basin, is believed to be the major cause of the hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico.

“The USDA requested proposals on the effectiveness of wetlands and woodchip bioreactors to reduce nitrate losses from fields, but was also concerned about greenhouse gas emissions,” says David. Working with graduate student and lead author Tyler Groh.

“We found the greenhouse gas emissions were really quite low. Nitrous oxide was not a problem. The other good news is that this research confirms that wetlands really do work to reduce nitrate runoff, and they work long term.”

David says that, along with fertilizer management, cover crops, and bioreactors, wetlands are an integral part of the Illinois Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy.

Building a wetland costs about the same as installing a bioreactor. One of the reasons David prefers wetlands to help solve the nitrogen pollution problem is that they work reasonably well in the winter when the water temperatures are low.

What’s the drawback?

“Farmland along the river may be flood prone, but depending upon the landscape, it could be farmable land,” says Lowell Gentry, senior research specialist and co-PI on the project.

“In this case, it was pasture so the wetlands didn’t reduce the row-crop acreage, and the landowner was able to use it as hunting grounds. Our project included funds to build new wetlands, but we couldn’t convince anyone to do it. Wetlands have been a hard sell.

“Farmers generally prefer to install bioreactors because they don’t take up much space,” Gentry says. “A wetland requires about 3 to 4 percent of the drainage area. So, for a 100-acre field, you’d need about 4 acres in wetland. Although bioreactors don’t use up much land, they also don’t slow the water enough during high flows.

“Research on their performance is still underway. Because water tends to be in the wetlands for a much longer time period, they are more effective.”

David says there has been a push from environmental groups for years to build more wetlands to help lower the nitrate levels. There are a few in the Lake Bloomington watershed but not in the Embarras River watershed, even after all this time.

“No one wants to mandate a certain practice— wetlands, bioreactors, cover crops, adjusting the timing of applying fertilizer–all of these things that we know help reduce nutrient loss,” says David.

“But, because of this research, we know that wetlands are a long-term nitrate removal method that keeps on working with little greenhouse gas emission.

“By building a wetland, farmers have an opportunity to make a substantial nitrate reduction in the transport of nitrate from their fields to the Gulf.”

Using IPM in your garden

Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

F

or years, growers have been utilizing a process to control insects, weeds, and diseases that allows them to lessen their use of pesticide control. Known as Integrated Pest Management (IPM), this is a strategy that involves many small actions to address the overall pest problem while minimizing the use of chemical pest suppression.

The idea behind IPM is that you use strategies before your season begins, during your season, and after your season. With IPM, we hope that the strategies and process we have in place can either eliminate the need or result in less use of pesticides.

IPM follows a process which includes prevention, action, monitoring, and control.

Your first step is prevention by altering the environment to keep disease and insect damage from occurring. This may be crop rotation, companion planting, floating row covers, mulches, and others. Your next step is action which requires to act or not to act.

Action is dependent on pest thresholds: number of insects and disease percent per plant. For instance, a threshold may be one adult cabbageworm per 15 cabbage plants. If

you only have a couple of plants, you may not have a threshold.

Your threshold may be that action needs to occur at appearance of insect or disease.

Monitoring is the next step with weekly scouting to see what the pest problem is.

Not only are you looking for adult or juvenile insects on plants but also egg sacs, damage, and insect predators like lady beetles. Then chemical control is your last step.

You’ve done many actions beforehand and now are in a situation where you need to use chemical control.

Let’s look at this process further with an example of the cabbage worm. Our prevention methods may include floating row cover, black plastic/mulch, crop rotation, and companion planting.

The actions that we do are hand removal, determining our threshold, and continually monitoring. Our final step may then be spraying based on our observations and threshold.

Many of the IPM strategies for prevention are one you may already be doing such as crop rotation, mulches, companion planting, and others. IPM takes some getting used to; but once you’ve got it in place, it can really help you enjoy your gardening experience even more.

Hive collapse: what is causing the deaths of bees?

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

Y

esterday we watched as our dog snapped unsuccessfully at a big bumblebee lazily buzzing past her.

While it was amusing to watch her unsuccessful attempts at catching just one bee, the unplanned deaths of millions of honeybees and total collapse of hives is not.

We depend on bees. The deaths of countless hives affect more than the beekeepers whose livelihoods depend on them. They affect farmers who depend on bees to pollinate their crops; they affect the millions of people who eat fruits and vegetables that must be pollinated by bees to produce food.

Honeybees are needed to pollinate about one-third of American food crops. Without bees, fruits and seeds of many food crops would not form. When local honeybees are not available, others must be imported in order to do their work, increasing the expense of raising crops, in turn raising the cost of food for consumers.

Einstein is quoted as saying that if bees disappeared, humanity would disappear within four years. While that may be an overstatement, it causes concern. How different life would be without apples, pears, tomatoes and the many other fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains we enjoy.

Although colony collapses have been recorded since 1869, the name “Colony Collapse Disorder’ was coined in 2006. It has been estimated that half of the world’s bees have disappeared within the past few years; 40% of American honeybee hives have suffered Colony Collapse Disorder. Possible causes have been suggested, including bad weather, malnutrition, habitat loss and others. Varroa mites, nicknamed “vampire mites” were considered as a cause since they carry a virus that can infect a colony as the mites eat on larval bees. However, scientists believe that the mites are not the cause of vast collapses. Their part in Colony Collapse Disorder in the winter of 2004 – 2005 was never actually verified.

Recent research has cast light on what appears to be the major culprit in this disaster scenario. While herbicides and pesticides are known to damage and kill insects, a single group – neonicotinoid (similar to

nicotine) pesticides developed in the 1990s are emerging as the most damaging.

While neonicotinoides affect higher animals, they are especially damaging to the nervous systems of insects. Bees have many more nicotinic acetylcholine receptors than most target insects, including mosquitos, making them more sensitive to neurotoxins in pesticides; receptors are permanently blocked. At sub-lethal levels, small doses disorient bees without killing them. “Drunk” and disoriented, they are not able to find their way back to the hive which depends on the cooperative work of its members to survive. Affected bees also stopped feeding.

Researchers have observed bees to discover the effects of neonicotinoids. A colony in a treated field had smaller nests, weaker offspring, and lower production of young queen bee development than bees in a non-treated field. Following microchipped bees revealed that affected bees’ mortaliy rate was several times higher than non-affected bees.

Apiaries near fields in northern Italy treated with neonicotinoids experienced high mortality. Once the pesticide was banned, bee populations stopped declining. In 2008, after a pesticide was applied to seeds, over 300 milion bees died in Germany.

French scientists experimented with bees exposed to low concentrations of one of the neonicotinoids, imidacloprid, to determine its effect. Their sense of smell and memory were blocked, affected feeding behavior.

Within a few days, they stopped feeding and the number of hive members dropped.

Often breakdown products are more damaging than the original chemical.

Neonicotinoids are dusted on seeds of many crops. As the plants grow the chemicals move into the entire plant, including pollen and nectar which the bees accumulate.

They also are used in lawn and garden products. As satisfying as it is to spray and watch those pesty pests fall, other ways exist to deal with them. Try milky spore for Japanese beetles and garlic guard as an insect repellant.

Rockford pubs mark 2015 Craft Beer Week

By Nate Johnson Columnist

W

hile the continued rise of craft beer makes it feel like it’s always “craft beer week,” several Rockford establishments are celebrating American Craft Beer Week with a variety of special events toasting the local brewing scene.

Since 2006 the Brewers Association has taken a week every May to commemorate the art and tradition of craft brewing with the ever-growing community of beer aficionados.

In the wake of opening their Dockside Taproom, Rockford Brewing Company (RBC) will be holding a series of events for the occasion.

After kicking off the festivities with a special crowd-sourced beer from the Forest City Brewers Club on Monday and the brewery’s own barrel-aged vanilla porter on Tuesday, RBC will be holding an izakaya-inspired dinner in the Taproom to go with the release of their Japanese Lager tonight from 5-9 p.m.

Thursday night will feature a “brew and chew social” as the Brewery’s kitchen will present four snacks and two desserts for pairing for six of their house beers, as well as the unveiling of their very own bourbon barrel-aged black IPA.

Meanwhile on the Thursday, the Olympic Tavern will be welcoming Chicago’s Revolution Brewing for a tap takeover, as their Fist City, Wicked Fist, Café Deth and ChicaGo SmoKe will all make rare Rockford appearances.

More local breweries will be the focus for Rockford Brewing over the weekend as Friday and Saturday will feature such nearby favorites as Pig Minds, Generations, Church Street, Crystal Lake, Tighthead and the aforementioned Revolution in the Dockside. RBC will also be tapping a firkin of their Belgian strong ale aged with cranberries and dates.

Rockford Brewing will wrap up Craft Beer Week with the culmination of a week-long survey asking for customer input on a brand new beer.

The week’s surveys will be reviewed and the selected recommendation will be brewed on Sunday with the brewery open for viewing of the brewing process and the house brewer will be available for a Q&A. Old Chicago will be participating in CBW as well, offering a week-long special of a “Crafted Beer Burger” along with a pint of a craft beer for $12. As one might expect, Old Chicago will also offer a variety of special taps available over the course of the week.

Education

Art as labor Without a humanistic inquiry, we will lose our creativity

By Dr. A Joan Saab TheConversation.com

T

oday it is hard to imagine that the national government would spend millions of dollars to put unemployed artists to work for the good of the country.

But that is precisely what happened in the United States at the height of the Great Depression. There has been a lot of talk lately about the “worth of the humanities” and of the creative arts in particular.

In the 1930s Harry Hopkins, the head of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), oversaw the Federal Art Project (FAP), one of the New Deal cultural programs. Hopkins repeatedly stressed “that the objective of this whole project is … taking 3,500,000 off relief and putting them to work.”

Art has always been and continues to be a source of value. In the America of the 1930s, artists and their labor were considered to be important cultural assets. This expanded definition of art and its worth presents an opportunity for us today to reconsider how we designate cultural value.

Why we need humanities

As a scholar of American visual culture who has written extensively about the 1930s, this strikes me as an important moment to revisit as we contemplate the utility of the arts and the humanities in contemporary American life.

The idea that art is a viable and important form of labor and that understanding history is crucial to our understanding of the present, is something that I grapple with on a daily basis as chair of an art and art history department.

Students regularly ask me what they can do with an art history or studio art degree. Their parents balk at the idea of endorsing the arts as a career path.

Following Michael S Roth, the president of Wesleyan University and the author of Beyond the University: Why Liberal Education Matters, I would argue that the arts teaches students to think creatively.

Roth argues that we need more than critical thinking in order to be successful. “Fetishizing disbelief,” he writes, “as a sign of intelligence has contributed to depleting our cultural resources.”

Instead, he stresses the importance of creative work as reflected in the commitment, energy and more importantly, the ability to become absorbed in works of literature, art and science.

And that is why I suggest that in today’s environment where there is a fading interest in humanities, we should re-frame our ideas of

what constitutes value and revisit the moment in the 1930s when art and artists were valuable contributors to the national labor pool.

Engagement through art

It is important to remember what was accomplished. In its 8-year existence, the FAP created over 5,000 jobs and funded over 225,000 works of art. The artist George Biddle is credited with writing to his friend and former prep-schoolmate Franklin D. Roosevelt and encouraging him to emulate the Mexican mural program, which he called “the greatest national school of mural painting since the Renaissance.”

This type of engagement was crucial to the ideology of the WPA cultural projects. Biddle, Hopkins and FDR all saw direct links between a strong democratic country and its artwork. They believed that making art was a way of making strong citizens.

Indeed, Biddle advocated for including artists in the national relief program since, he argued, the artist was as valuable a worker to the health of the nation as the “the farmer or the bricklayer.”

For New Dealers, the arts and the humanities – painting, sculpture, music, theater and literature — were not only a viable form of labor, they were key to America’s past, present and future success.

Many of the works created on the FAP directly addressed the relationship between manual and intellectual labor.

This is what the two large-scale public murals created through the FAP, recently restored and now in the foyer of the Wilson Commencement Academy in Rochester, New York, illustrate.

Life of exploration

Painted in 1937 by the local Rochester artist Carl Peters for the now-destroyed Madison High School, the two-panel series explores the Life of Action and its corollary, the Life of Contemplation.

Inspired by the monumental Renaissance masterpieces by Michelangelo, Peters broke with his traditional, small-scale easel practice (he was primarily a landscape painter of local scenes) to depict a subject matter that shows the need for balance between doing and thinking.

It seems Peters imagined these classical themes within a visual vocabulary that stressed images of progress through learning and work.

The first panel, Life of Action, depicts a generic cityscape under construction. In this all-male tableau, Peters presents an inventory of workers — ranging from unskilled to professional and

including both manual and industrial work — all actively performing some form of vigorous labor as they build the city behind them.

At the center of the piece is the architect.

Wearing a suit and tie, he presents his plans for consideration, a blank sheet of paper on which all future possibilities can be inscribed.

In the second panel, Life of Contemplation, Peters stresses education and exploration as the keys to a balanced life. In the front corner of the work, a woman sits against a globe with open hands, as if holding a book.

But her book is behind her and the page clearly reads “the young blood flows freely and tests its hope, on mottled palette — oh yet vague canvas…,” suggesting that the book she will read has yet to be written.

To her right sits another woman, reading an actual book. Parallel to the Life of Action, another architect figure, with his back to the viewer, faces two young children and the reading woman.

A man with a beaker and test tube, wearing a tie under his lab coat, performs some sort of science experiment. A standing woman, presumably a teacher, holds a book and leads a discussion.

Behind her the stories she has been reading appear to come to life: an armored rider on a white horse, identified by Peters as Joan of Arc, charges into battle in front of a medieval castle.

Adjacent to this, Columbus’s ships sail towards the “new world” as a Native American scout crouches in the distance.

By explicitly linking the past to the present, Peters transforms contemplation and its corollaries of education and imagination into an active

process. Thus contemplation becomes a form of action akin to the work being performed in its partner panel.

Value of art as work

Taken together these works provide an inventory of New Deal imagery: the teacher, the laborer, the architect, the student. They situate Peters, as the artist, as an important cultural laborer.

They encapsulate in visual form the ideologies of the New Deal and suggest that art and contemplative labor were valuable forms of work, as important to nation building as building bridges and skyscrapers.

As we revisit these works in the 21st century, it is tempting to criticize them for excluding people of color and presenting a whitewashed version of history.

Instead, I would argue, we should look back at their forecast future value as marking an important moment in time — one in which art was considered a valuable form of work — and learn how to use these skills today.

Today we are enmeshed in media. We watch it, surf it, translate it and hack it. These are the tools of the present and of the future. But as artists and art historians we also use these tools to investigate and understand the past.

We use new media to understand old media and to understand the world around us.

Following Peters and his peers on the WPA, we need to look for a renewed balance between action and contemplation.

In our present moment, this must be done through humanistic inquiry and creative work.

Escape to Wayward Pines RockRiverTimes.com

By Paula Hendrickson Television Columnist

F

ollowing a car crash, Secret Service agent Ethan Burke (Matt Dillon, Something About Mary, Crash) awakens in the eerily quiet hospital of a strange little town called Wayward Pines, with no memory of how he got there.

Something seems off about the town, but the nurse (Melissa Leo, The Fighter, Treme) and doctor (Toby Jones, Harry Potter and Captain America franchises) say his head injury could be causing hallucinations and memory loss, and without surgery the brain bleed will only get worse.

Yeah, I wouldn’t really trust those two to operate on my brain, either.

That’s the set up for Fox’s new suspense thriller, Wayward Pines, based on a best-selling book series by Blake Crouch.

I haven’t read the books but I know some people who have, and they’re eager to see the 10-part TV adaptation, but are also curious if the show will be able to live up to its source material. I don’t know, but the first three episodes really drew me in.

Perhaps the most surprising thing of all is that the show is on Fox. It has more of a premium cable vibe, minus the adult language and nudity.

Because the story is set in a small town in the Pacific Northwest, the first thing I thought was it would remind me of Twin

Peaks, but Wayward Pines is more serious and not nearly as quirky as Twin Peaks. It’s more like the lovechild of The Twilight Zone and The Prisoner.

Wayward Pines has a strong pedigree. It’s executive produced by M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Signs), with author Crouch serving as consulting producer. Dillon, Leo, and Jones are joined onscreen by Carla Gugino (Spy Kids, Entourage), Juliette Lewis (Secrets and Lies, Natural Born Killers), Terrence Howard (Empire, Hustle & Flow), Reed Diamond (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Homicide: Life on the Street), and other talented actors.

(As a hardcore Homicide fan I’m dying to see former co-stars Leo and Diamond share a big scene or two. The only thing better would be a guest appearance by one of their Homicide cast mates like Zeljko Ivanek, Kyle Secor or Clark Johnson. A girl can dream, right?)

Wayward Pines starts with a slow, disconnected, waking dream feel, which forces you to question what’s real, what’s not, and who, if anyone, Burke can trust. In the episodes I’ve seen, it’s not even clear if he can trust himself. Questions are answered along the way, but for every question that’s answered you’ll probably ask two more.

Programming Note

Wayward Pines premieres Thursday, May 14 at 8 p.m. on Fox.

Commentary Foreign Policy

British elections put ‘special relationship’ in flux

By Dr. Dennis JD Sandole

In other words, no matter which of the two main parties came out ahead in Thursday’s election, America’s defense posture would be significantly impacted. If the Tories won, no longer would American policymakers be able to count on Britain to send its troops into battle alongside American allies as it has in the past, both in Iraq and Afghanistan. If Labour came out ahead, the US likely would have to adjust its nuclear deterrent force to compensate for Britain’s withdrawal of nuclear submarines from Scotland.

What the final election results now mean for US foreign policy So, thus far, what do the final results indicate? In vivid contrast to expectations raised by advance polls, the Tories won a clear majority; Labour and the Liberal Democrats have been trounced to the extent that both Ed Milliband and Nick Clegg resigned from their respective leadership positions.

However, as expected, the SNP has emerged victorious in Scotland, winning 56 of 59 seats and, as a result, nearly destroying Labour’s traditional base there.

Given the SNP’s commitment to eliminating the UK’s Trident submarine program in Scotland, and the Conservatives’ intent to hold a referendum on Britain’s departure from the EU – further reinforcing Britain’s decline as a player on the global stage – America may find itself very much alone in dealing with ISIS and other threats to international peace and security.

All this means that, on a deeper level, the American-British “special relationship” will be impacted. Together with China’s rapidly escalating global financial, economic and military clout plus Russia’s Vladimir Putin’s Machiavellian machinations concerning Ukraine’s sovereignty, the British elections should give American policymakers pause for deep concern and reflection.

George Mason University

A

fter last week’s elections, British politics is at a unique turning point and perhaps so is US policy, where in a tumultuous world, Great Britain has heretofore been a steadfast US ally.

The final vote on Thursday, May 7, confounded many political observers on both sides of the pond.

According to pre-election polls, the two major parties, Conservatives and Labour, were neck and neck with no clear indication of which would win the largest number of votes. Early polls seemed to indicate British voters were put off both by the prospects of further Tory austerity and a Labour alliance with a left-leaning Scottish party that wanted to dismantle the country.

Even if, for example, even if the largest number of votes had accrued to the Labour Party, party leader Ed Milliband would likely have had to somehow partner with Nicola Sturgeon’s Scottish National Party (SNP) to obtain a governing majority. Despite defeat of the referendum on Scottish independence on September 18, 2014, the SNP remains committed to securing Scotland’s independence from the UK and, in any case, to eliminating British nuclear submarines from its territory.

By contrast, if David Cameron’s Tories had come out ahead, no matter who they might have partnered with to form a government (perhaps Nick Clegg’s Liberal Democrats again), Cameron was committed to holding a referendum on Britain’s membership in the EU by the end of 2017, and probably to enacting further cuts in Britain’s defense establishment, which would erode its capacity to field troops in any significant foreign engagements.

Government Transparency

Local gov’t works to less accountability

By Dennis DeRossett Executive Director, Illinois Press Association

A

s state government scurries to fill a projected $8 billion deficit in the 2016 fiscal year budget, it would seem to make sense to move beyond successful compromises and proven solutions already in place and instead focus on issues that truly have a significant impact on the state’s finances.

At least you would think so given the seriousness of the fiscal crisis.

But that’s not the case with some elected officials and local government lobbyists that represent the more than 7,000 taxpayer funded units of government in Illinois. Behind-thescenes efforts are currently taking place that would reduce their obligation of accountability and transparency to taxpayers, all under the guise of the state’s financial crisis. It’s a “smokeand-mirrors” attempt by local governments at a time of fiscal crisis where Illinois taxpayers would end up on the losing end.

One successful compromise and proven solution that is now in its fifth year of operation is the PublicNoticeIllinois (PNI) website, or www.publicnoticeillinois.com. PNI is a centralized, aggregated website for all public notices from the state of Illinois, units of local government, and the Illinois court system. It’s a free-access website that is updated daily. It’s an example of a proven, successful public-private partnership that is already saving taxpayers money and should be supported by elected officials at all levels of government.

Public notices, or legal notices as they are often referred to, are a fundamental component in the foundation of our democracy and of our legal system.

For more than 200 years, newspapers

have been paid to print public notices and to serve as the critically important independent third-party between units of local government and taxpayers, and have functioned as the official notification system of our court system. Notice of publication in newspapers provides the proven and necessary verification, certification and archiving solution that ensure individuals and taxpayers rights are protected and preserved.

Frankly, it’s a process that has worked so well and for so long that those wanting to eliminate it or change to another process rarely consider the chaos and disruption to government bodies and to the court system that would take place without this proper verification, certification and archiving of public notices and notices of the courts.

PNI was created by state law in 2011 and was approved unanimously by both chambers of the Illinois General Assembly. Yes, unanimously. Key components of the law called for the creation of a centralized website for public notices that would be managed

by Illinois newspapers. It requires newspapers to upload all notices to PNI after the notices appear in print. All of this is done at no additional cost to government. No taxpayer money goes towards supporting or managing the public notice website.

With each new session of the Illinois General Assembly, local government lobbyists –whose paychecks are funded largely by your tax dollars--repeatedly push bills to eliminate public notices or remove them from newspapers and PNI in favor of their own individual websites. These bills rarely make it out of committee because, frankly, state lawmakers understand that forcing citizens to attempt to locate notices across 7,000 websites doesn’t make sense. (Actually,

it would be about 4,000 websites as many units of local government do not yet have a website.)

Such legislation was introduced and failed again earlier this session. However, local government groups are now using behind the scenes tactics to remove public notices from print and from PNI and, instead, have the notices placed on their individual websites. But, this time they have a new twist: They are claiming that having to be accountable and transparent through the current public notice process is an “unfunded mandate” and they want to do away with it.

The simple fact is this issue is not about money, it’s about reducing transparency and accountability to the taxpayers.

Every year Illinois citizens dutifully fulfill their obligation of paying many types and amounts of taxes to support these thousands of local government units throughout the state. Each of these units has an annual operating budget that ranges from tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of millions and even billions of dollars. Taxpayer dollars, that is.

It’s not at all about “saving the taxpayers money” because that has already been done successfully through the 2011 legislation and PNI. Local governments will still try to sell it that way, however. Local government officials should focus on the big-impact issues, allow the proven public notice solution in our state to keep on working, and not spend so much time and taxpayer dollars on how to be less accountable and less transparent.

Letter to the Editor

Evaluating the Kinzinger Doctrine “U.S. foreign policy is not logical.” That’s how Congressman Adam Kinzinger ultimately rationalized his own illogical views on U.S. policy towards Iran, Israel and the enforcement of international law during a townhall meeting in Rockford on May 4.

For example, when I asked if the U.S. should insist that Israel ratify the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and dismantle their own huge nuclear arsenal as part of any deal to enforce that international law against Iran, Kinzinger said no.

When I told him that although Israel vehemently opposes a nuclear-armed Iran, it gladly offered to sell its own nuclear bombs to apartheid South Africa in 1975, he shrugged it off.

When I suggested that if he supports the enforcement of international law as a critical U.S. foreign policy objective, then he ought to call for imposing sanctions against Israel until it complies with the Fourth Geneva Convention and dismantles its illegal West Bank settlements, he rejected that idea.

Finally, I asked him what sense it makes to give $3 billion every year to Israel when the National Security Agency has ranked it as the third most aggressive espionage threat against the U.S. behind only Russia and China.

That’s when our congressman announced what I call “The Kinzinger Doctrine.”

If U.S. foreign policy is not logical, then it is only because it is concocted by illogical politicians like Adam Kinzinger. Kinzinger is keen for the U.S. to go to war to enforce his contradictory views of the world, which would transfigure the irrational into the immoral.

Does that prospect frighten anyone besides myself ?

Kelley Peterson, Transportation Manager 3206 N. Central Ave, Rockford, IL 61101 815-964-9275 ext. 250 4110R TRRT 5/13 n n n ROCKFORD METROPOLITAN AGENCY FOR PLANNING (RMAP) Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Public informational open house and engagement sessions will be held at various area locations to present the updated draft of the Transportation for Tomorrow: A Long-Range Transportation Plan for the Rockford Region.

The plan, which is developed by the Rockford Metropolitan Agency for Planning (RMAP), covers anticipated transportation needs in the Rockford Metropolitan Planning Area for the next 30 years. The plan is a co-operative effort of RMAP, local governments and the Illinois Department of Transportation. Information regarding the plan is available on the RMAP website www.rmapil.org. The Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) is updated every five years. The last time the LRTP was updated and adopted by the RMAP Policy Committee was July 29, 2010.

The updated LRTP is tentatively

scheduled for adoption by the RMAP Policy Committee at their July 30th, 2015 meeting. RMAP would like to receive remarks on the current draft document as well as comments on future transportation needs within the RMAP planning area and surrounding region.

Public feedback from these sessions will assist in drafting the final version of the RMAP Long Range Transportation Plan update.

Local, state and federal governments have the responsibility for constructing, operating and maintaining most of the transportation systems in the Rockford Metropolitan Planning Area. This LRTP was developed in the interest of promoting, developing and maintaining a safe and efficient transportation system that will meet the needs of the area’s citizens, businesses and industries through the Year 2040. This LRTP considered a wide range of citizen, community and technical input as well as the views, priorities and strategies expressed in previous plans and documents developed as part of the RMAP planning process over the last 50 years.

This LRTP reflects the goals, priorities and guidance originating from Federal Law, especially the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA), the Transportation Efficiency Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act- A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), and the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21).

The overall goal of the plan is to promote a safe and efficient transportation system for people and goods that provide a balanced multi-modal system that minimizes costs and impacts to the taxpayer, society and the environment. The plan addresses the growth projected for the area’s airports, the area’s bicycle and pedestrian facilities, rail service to the region, public transportation issues, maintaining and improving the area’s highway system and public funding issues.

The formal public comment period for the second draft of the Long Range Transportation Plan update will be from May 14th, 2015 until June 12th, 2015. However, public comments regarding the RMAP LRTP and all other RMAP documents are welcome at any time. The format of these open houses and engagement sessions allows for both formal presentation and informal discussion between the public and RMAP staff. The times are indicated below.

State Pension Crisis

Group says pension debt at $158 billion From Illinois News Network With Staff Reports

Illinois’ pension debt is greater than is being let on. That’s according to a non-partisan think tank that analyzes publicly available financial information of Illinois and other states.

The non-profit group Truth In Accounting (TIA) says Illinois’ pension debt may be publicly reported as $111 billion dollars, but that doesn’t take into account the cost of retiree health care paid for by the state.

Sheila Weinberg, Founder and CEO of TIA, says the debt is clear when reviewing the state’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports.

“The state government is charging retirement benefits and pensions to its ‘pension credit card’ but does not report the debt,”she says.

“To make matters worse, the state government essentially pretends as if they do not owe these funds to current and retired employees.”

Weinberg tells WMAY Springfield each taxpayer is on the hook for $45,000, and that doesn’t count the cost with each layer of local government that has a pension obligation for public employees.

“These taxpayers have a lot of debt on their hands that is gonna have to be funded in the future and they’re not gonna receive any goods or services for that debt. They’re gonna be paying taxes and it’s just gonna be paying for bills that prior taxpayers got the the benefit of.”

Truth In Accounting will release their report comparing Illinois with other states Tuesday that will show what they say is the state’s true pension obligation, which is around $158 billion.

“Governor Rauner is taking a step in the right direction by making serious budget cuts, but it’s not enough,” said Weinberg.

“If the state government budgeted using the accounting methods corporations are required to use, our state would not be in this situation.

It’s time for Illinois state officials to not only acknowledge the state’s financial mess, but report accurate numbers so real action can be taken.”

Brown, who’s also the director of the Center for Business and Public Policy in the College of Business and was a senior economist with the President’s Council of Economic Advisers from 2001-02, discusses the latest twist in the state of Illinois’ pension predicament.

Can you briefly summarize last Friday’s Illinois Supreme Court decision on the pension law?

The Illinois Supreme Court threw out the entire pension reform law. They unambiguously ruled that all of the provisions that reduced benefits were a violation of the nonimpairment clause of the Illinois Constitution, that the state does not have the power to overrule those protections even in the face of financial strain, and, therefore, the entire law is null and void.

This is great news for pensioners and current pension participants. It effectively makes their pensions risk-free. Social Security benefits, private pension benefits and public pensions in many other states can be changed. Pensions in Illinois cannot.

Of course, this is also terrible news for Illinois taxpayers and beneficiaries of any other government program because the state has little choice but to find the money it needs to pay pension benefits, unless we change the constitution.

Now that it’s back-to-the-drawing-board time for the Illinois Legislature, what alternatives are available to solve the pension and budget crises? Reamortize the pension debt over an even longer time horizon? Raise income and business taxes back to their previous levels? Tax more services and begin to tax retirement income above a certain threshold?

All of the above?

The solution requires all of the above and much more. To put it as simply as possible, unless we change the constitution, there are only two options remaining. First, we raise taxes. Second, we cut nonpension spending.

Every policy is simply a variation on one or both of these two themes. Even if the law had been upheld, the state of Illinois was still going

to face large structural deficits. The fact that the reform was thrown out means those deficits are now even larger. Even if we cut every spending program to the bone, we still won’t have enough money to pay our bills. This will place Governor Rauner in a strong position to argue for spending cuts, but a weak position for avoiding tax increases.

You’ve co-written a few different plans for how the state of Illinois can extricate itself from its pension and budgetary quagmires.

What solution do you favor now?

It’s going to take a very long list of small changes to restore us to fiscal health. I would start by broadening the tax base in Illinois.

At current tax rates, we could raise billions in additional revenue by including currently excluded items like retirement income in the income tax base.

Although painful and unpopular, a very gradual shift of part of the expense of future pension accruals down to school districts, universities and community colleges should be considered. To be clear, I fully understand that this will create enormous strain for these institutions, which is why it needs to be done gradually.

But in the long run, it is much better to have the entities making personnel decisions have to bear the full cost of those decisions. Right now, a school district or university can hire someone without any concern about the pension costs because those are borne by the state.

It is much more difficult to think of any legally feasible changes we can make to the retirement systems themselves. One could imagine offering a pension buyout in which participants get a lump sum now in return for a reduced pension. Governor Rauner suggested a version of this. But, unfortunately, today’s ruling makes that less attractive to participants. A lump-sum buyout or conversion to a 401(k)-style plan also increases the short-run cash strain on the state. Finally, government accounting rules are so poorly designed that even if such an activity saved us money, it may give the misleading appearance of increasing our unfunded liability.

This problem was many decades in the making, so it will take many decades to dig out of it.

In terms of creditworthiness, the state of Illinois is already the lowest-rated state,

and the city of Chicago is two notches above junk-bond status. Should we expect further downgrades from Wall Street?

I would not be surprised if the rating agencies further downgraded our debt. By declaring that pension benefits must be paid, the court has effectively placed pension obligations at the head of the line. Thus, debt holders now face more risk that the state will default on the bonds. That should drive up interest rates on borrowing, and thus make it even more expensive for us to borrow money in the future.

And, yes, it is very bad news for Chicago, too, because the same nonimpairment clause also constrains their policy options.

The governor’s office argues that a constitutional amendment clarifying the distinction between earned benefits and future benefits should be part of any solution. But what about trying to pass a modified version of Illinois Senate President Cullerton’s contractual approach, in which employees are offered something extra in return for moving from the defined-benefit pension system to a defined-contribution system?

I would favor a constitutional amendment that protects already-accrued benefits but provides flexibility to change future benefits that have not yet been earned. I will leave it to others to determine the political feasibility of this.

I am open to new ideas on providing something to workers in consideration for reduced pensions, but it is unrealistic to think that offering financial incentives to accept a pension reduction is going to save us much money.

First of all, the “something of value” that is offered in return is itself costly to offer. Second, this could accelerate the cash-flow crunch. For example, if we put everyone in a 401(k)-type system going forward, the state will still have to fund the remaining defined-benefit plan while simultaneously having to come up with the money to fund defined-contribution plans.

Combined with the fact that the employees in the defined-contribution plan will no longer be contributing to the defined-benefit plan, the state would have to come up with far more money over the next few decades than under current law. This might be a good long-run idea, but it will force us to face our day of reckoning sooner.

THERE IS A NEED FOR NEW PHYSICAL THERAPY EQUIPMENT

ILESTONE’s mission is to help each Individual reach their fullest potential and live as full a life as possible. Our Interdisciplinary team includes both physical and occupational therapists and a PT/OT program is designed for each Individual to meet their needs.

Many times rehabilitation therapy is needed after an extended hospital stay, and can keep a person ambulatory. Chris’ family gained first hand knowledge about the difference a strong PT/OT department can make after she returned to MILESTONE after an extended hospital stay.

Before she had to go to the hospital Chris was able to walk, but after a month of being mostly bedridden she returned to Milestone non-ambulatory. With guidance, work, time and care from the PT/OT team, she was able to regain the ability to walk with the same level of assistance as before she entered the hospital. Jill Morgan, MILESTONE’s PT/OT coordinator, says, keeping our individuals ambulatory and mobile for as long as possible is entirely essential to their overall health. Weight bearing stimulates bone strength, range of motion exercises, active or passive promotes circulation, stimulates the bowels and keeps their joints fluid and the 1 on 1 attention gives them comfort and stability.

Without PT and OT our individuals health would deteriorate at a more rapid rate, according to Morgan, who adds, osteoporosis, constipation and contracture of muscles and fusion of bones would occur more rapidly and more quickly interfere with our ability to care for them. Their quality of life would seriously decline.

Providing and supporting what limited mobility many of our individuals have is truly as vital and valuable as any treatment or medication. But in order to do this equipment is needed, everything from walkers, to air pressure and orthotic splints, custom molded shoes, versiform cushions and walking belts. There is currently a need for standers, along with gravity, the standers help stimulate bone growth and helps maintain bone strength. The straightening and stretching of the leg mucsles and tendons also help an Individual maintain lower extremity mobility allowing for better personal care and aiding in the potential for ambulation. The change in perspective (going from sitting to standing) stimulates brain activity, and visual motor and proprioceptual skills.

Our current standers are over 20 years old and we need additional ones. Please call the Resource Development Department at (815) 639-2965 if you would like information about making a donation for this program.

Even though it reflects more of an

inward uneasiness. Many may feel the need to stay in or hide from the public eye, this is normal. Try not to push yourself during this time frame. Embrace your feelings and honor them. Mischievous Mercury Retrograde arrives this week May 19 and remains this way until June 11. So this will be a bit of a topsy-turvy week. Staying physically active can ease some of the angst, focus your energy in that direction. Enjoy!

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — Romance could become a bit sticky if you allow a past love to be involved in your life at this time.

Concentrate on these openings to bring you good fortune and emotional well

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — You will be celebrating the good fortunes of your family or a loved one this week. You know deep down in your heart that you will get your turn. This way you’re practicing for your own positive outcome. Those that cannot support the achievements of others will not progress at this time. Protect your friends and family from those who want to put a negative spin on their lives. You will see this come full circle shortly Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — You will need to take some time off here soon just to do nothing. Your schedule is overwhelmed with conflicting responsibilities and you feel guilty for not accomplishing each task. Go easy on yourself, trust that it will all get done and count the money on the way to the bank. This is an extremely positive financial time frame, take advantage of this element now Pisces.

How World War II spurred vaccine innovation Might of military dollars steered a revolution in vaccine science

research agenda, but the threat of war softened opposition.

Manufacturers also began to work on projects with little to no profit potential. Because vaccines were recognized as an essential component of the war effort, participating in their development was seen as a public duty.

With industry as a willing partner, wartime programs forged a new research format that effectively translated laboratory findings into working products.

At the time intellectual property protections were less of a barrier to information sharing than they are today. Without these restrictions teams were able to consolidate and apply existing knowledge at a rapid rate.

Borrowing management techniques from industry, flu commission head Francis and his fellow project directors exercised top-down authority, transferring people, resources and ideas to the most compelling projects.

Project directors also managed development in an integrated fashion, coordinating activities across disciplines and developmental phases so that everyone involved understood the upstream and downstream requirements for vaccine candidates.

By Dr. Kendall Hoyt TheConversation.com

War and disease have marched arm in arm for centuries.

Wars magnify the spread and severity of disease by disrupting populations. As large groups of people move across borders, they introduce and encounter disease in new places. Often, they move into crowded, resource-poor environments that allow diseases to thrive.

Before World War II, soldiers died more often of disease than of battle injuries. The ratio of disease-to-battle casualties was approximately 5-to-1 in the Spanish-American War and 2-to-1 in the Civil War. Improved sanitation reduced disease casualties in World War I, but it could not protect troops from the 1918 influenza pandemic. During the outbreak, flu accounted for roughly half of US military casualties in Europe.

As the Second World War raged in Europe, the US military recognized that infectious disease was as formidable an enemy as any other they would meet on the battlefield. So they forged a new partnership with industry and academia to develop vaccines for the troops. Vaccines were attractive to the military for the simple reason that they reduced the overall number of sick days for troops more effectively than most therapeutic measures.

This partnership generated unprecedented levels of innovation that lasted long after the war was over. As industry and academia began to work with the government in new ways to develop vaccines, they discovered that many of the key barriers to progress were not scientific but organizational.

World War II sped the development of the flu vaccine

In 1941, fearing another pandemic as it braced for a second world war, the US Army organized a commission to develop the first flu vaccine. The commission was part of a broader network of federally orchestrated vaccine development programs.

These programs enlisted top specialists from universities, hospitals, public health labs and private foundations to conduct epidemiological surveys and to prevent diseases of military importance.

Wartime vaccine programs expanded the scope of the military’s work in vaccines well beyond its traditional focus on dysentery, typhus and syphilis. These new research initiatives targeted influenza, bacterial meningitis, bacterial pneumonia, measles, mumps, neurotropic diseases, tropical diseases and acute respiratory diseases. These diseases not only posed risks to military readiness, but also to civilian populations.

These programs were not a triumph of scientific genius but rather of organizational purpose and efficiency.

Scientists had been laying the groundwork for many of these vaccines, flu included, for years before. It was not until World War II, however, that many basic concepts were plucked from the laboratory and developed into working vaccines.

The newly formed flu commission pulled together knowledge about how to isolate, grow and purify the flu virus and rapidly pushed development forward, devising methods to scale-up manufacturing and to evaluate the vaccine for safety and efficacy.

Under the leadership of virologist Thomas Francis Jr, the commission gained FDA approval for their vaccine in less than two years. It was the first licensed flu vaccine in the US. In

Working together for the greater good

Wartime vaccine programs saw the expansion of the US military’s work in disease expand beyond its traditional bounds, such as prevention and treatment of STDs. Creative Commons

comparison, it takes eight to fifteen years on average to develop a new vaccine today.

Flu vaccine, as the Army later discovered, required annual tweaking to match circulating strains of the virus, which it still does today. Even so, the timeline from development to use was a remarkable achievement.

Military needs drove accelerated vaccine programs

Wartime programs, like the flu commission, developed or improved a total of 10 vaccines for diseases of military significance, some in time to meet the objectives of particular operations.

For instance, botulinum toxoid was mass-produced prior to D-Day in response to (faulty) intelligence that Germany had loaded V-1 bombs with the toxin that causes botulism. Japanese encephalitis vaccine was developed in anticipation of an Allied land invasion of Japan.

Some of these vaccines were crude by today’s standards. In fact some might not receive broad FDA approval today, but they were effective and timely.

How did these programs develop so many vaccines, so fast?

Scientists often conducted research at their home institutions, which allowed the military to gain access to valuable expertise and facilities in the civilian sector.

The government used “No loss, no gain” contracts that covered the cost of research and, occasionally, indirect costs, but did not provide a profit. Under normal circumstances, universities would have resisted this technocratic reorganization of their

This cooperative, duty-driven approach to vaccine development persisted into the postwar era, even after the urgency and structure of wartime programs dissolved. This contributed to high rates of vaccine innovation through the middle of the 20th century.

Don Metzgar, a virologist who began working in the vaccine industry in the 1960s explained to me in an interview that, “pharmaceutical companies looked at vaccine divisions as a public service, not as huge revenue generators.”

When the military requested limited-use vaccines, such as meningococcal meningitis and adenovirus, industry obliged.

But a series of legal, economic and political transformations in the 1970s and 80s disrupted this military-industrial partnership.

Without industry cooperation, new vaccine development stalled and some existing vaccines were discontinued.

Whether at war or in peace, timely vaccine development is vital.

New diseases with pandemic potential occur regularly: SARS in 2003, bird flu in 2005, swine flu in 2009, and Ebola in 2014. Our current vaccine development capabilities are not keeping pace.

Scientific obstacles can be formidable, as our continued struggle to develop vaccines for tuberculosis, malaria and HIV demonstrate. But many vaccines languish in the pipeline for reasons that have nothing to do with science.

Mobilizing federal resources on a massive scale, as we did in the 1940s, is not a sustainable solution, but we can still take a page out of the World War II playbook.

In a crisis, such as the West African Ebola outbreak, industry demonstrated that it still has the capacity to partner for the greater good, even when the business case for a particular vaccine is not compelling.

We need to leverage this capacity by reintroducing the highly integrated research practices to accelerate the translation of laboratory findings into working vaccines. Let’s not wait for history to teach us that lesson again.

Mr Green Car

Charging your EV without a cord

By Allen Penticoff Columnist

W

e have owned a 2013 Chevy Volt for 19 months and have enjoyed it quite a bit. My wife and I are obsessed with driving it on electricity as much as possible and cringe whenever the engine runs. Our record best is 2,200 miles with only use of .10 gallons of gas (22,000 mpg). Due to the Volt’s somewhat limited electric range of 28 to 53 miles (the best and worst we’ve seen) we plug-in every time it is in our garage.

While plugging in is not much of a hassle, and is a fairly easy habit to get into. Recently my wife forgot to plug in for the evening and as a consequence had very limited range the next day, resulting in a short engine run to get home that used a tenth of a gallon. Still great mpg, but that hurts our quest to beat the previous electric only record – so this recording period beginning April 1, we’ve gone about 1,000 miles on .2 gallons of gas.

We have been charging with the standard

120-volt charger that came with the car – as do many other Volt owners. Upgrading to a 240-volt charger would cost us anywhere from $500 to $1,000 for the equipment, plus installation of new wiring in the garage (which I can mostly do myself). A 240-volt charger would quickly refill the batteries so that after a morning of errand running the batteries could be full again before a night out of entertainment or socializing.

The high rate charger would also allow us to sign up for lower rate electricity charging at night since the onboard charger can be programmed to charge at certain times and still be full for morning commute. The 240volt charger is roughly 3 times faster than the 120 volt charger. However, according to Plugless Power, their wireless charging system is, “12 percent less efficient than corded L2 30 amp 240V charging systems and about 7 percent less efficient than corded Level 1 charging systems.” So you will be paying a bit in your electric bill for the convenience of not messing with a cord.

Another option is to acquire an induction charger from Plugless Power. With this system, the Volt, Leaf or Cadillac ELR can charge without plugging in a cord. The system consists of a wall mounted control/indicator (a free standing version is available as well), a floor mounted “parking pad” and the “vehicle adapter.” All this equipment is rated to be used indoors or outdoors.

up by the vehicle adapter receiver. And that’s simply how it works. With the wall mounted controller, it has indicators to guide the driver forward and back as well as left and right to be in just the right spot to park and for the induction current to begin flowing over a four inch gap to the car. Although one could probably hit the right parking spot in one stop after a bit of use. There is a safety feature to prevent someone trying to plug in a corded charger while the inductive charger is in use. The parking pad can withstand a 1,500 pound load on it in the event someone drives over it, and it is designed to prevent operation if someone leaves a metallic object on it (which would otherwise become very

hot and/or disturb the charging).

For families with an electric vehicle, this can be a great convenience. No dirty cord to deal with, no forgetting to plug in, no forgetting to close the charge door or trying to open a frozen one, and the most practical advantage of always having the batteries topped off and ready to roll when the vehicle has been parked long enough – or at least more range added. A 240-volt charger at 30 amps like the Plugless Power with 3.3 Kwh of output will add about 10 miles of range per hour of charging.

Pricing for use with our Volt is $892 for the charger (pad and controller) and $1,048 for the vehicle adapter. These are priced separately as some owners may need two chargers for work and home but only one vehicle adapter.

They can also be leased for $21 for the charger and $24 for the adapter per month for 36 months. Plugless Power says they offer a 45 day no questions refund and a 3 year warranty. The cost of the charger is in line with other 240-volt chargers I have seen advertised, while the adapter is something that would be the significant extra cost, although the price does include installation by a Chevrolet dealer who has a Volt certified service technician.

Pricing for the Nissan Leaf is similar to the Volt, while the Cadillac ELR adapter is $500 more.

Will we get plugless charging for our Volt?

Perhaps – it is very tempting since we need to upgrade our charger anyway. I also hope that plugless chargers become common at public charging locations. This would make quick charges and public charging more appealing – and thus electric vehicle ownership all the more attractive.

Travel like an Architect

Cruising with kids is safe, convenient and affordable

By Lynn and Rob Belles Independent Vacation Specialists

What do you worry about when that thought enters your mind? You know the thought of taking your kids on a cruise.

If you’ve never cruised you might think, Oh my gosh, no. They might fall overboard.

If you have cruised you might think, No way, it would cost a fortune. Traveling with kids isn’t easy but it is most rewarding.

Kids learn from travel and you don’t even have to teach them anything, it just happens. And the third and fourth persons in a stateroom are always drastically reduced, in some cases free.

The most valuable thing kids learn is that things are not the same as they are at home. This concept although it might seem unimportant is actually huge. Just think for a moment about things you know of that are different abroad. Yes, they teach these things in social studies but we know from experience that there is no substitute for being there.

Traveling on a cruise does not require any more attentiveness on your part than normal..

The ship is totally safe, surrounded by a glass guard rail, it simply wouldn’t be possible for anyone to go overboard accidentally. You won’t have to cook or do anything while tending to your kids, and I am sure you already know how to keep track of your kids in a public place. A foreign country or the ship would be no different than a family outing at home.

Good basic rules for staying together and you will be all set and ready to rock the world.

Cruising is uniquely convenient because it is like a moving hotel. Just move in once,

then experience something different every day. Blueprint your trip well, bring everything you need, include some good common sense and you’ll be all set to see the world in a more meaningful way with your kids.

The coolest part is that the ship has satellite communication with land at all times, in fact you can even use your own phone. There is a security team to assure your safety, there are child care professionals so that you can get a break, and there is even a doctor, nurses and treatment rooms on board. Just this week, a passenger that became ill during his voyage, was airlifted from the ship to a hospital.

When we asked our daughter for her top three travel memories, here is what she said: “Monkey stealing my pencil – taking it up in the tree. (She was carrying a notebook and pencil.)

“Running into a friend from high school walking down the street in Copenhagen, Denmark.

“Hobbling around the Roman Forum in a fracture boot. (Unplanned misfortune days prior to departure.)”

I will ask her what she learned from each of these for another column coming soon.

Sports in media

The rise and fall of Bill Simmons

ESPN stalwart helped shape a generation of sportswriting, now plans his next move

By Galen Clavio TheConversation.com

With last week’s news of Bill Simmons’ impending departure from ESPN, it’s appropriate to look at how he spearheaded a revolutionary era in sports media.

When Simmons arrived at ESPN in 2001 after working as a sports writer for AOL’s Boston page, the sports media landscape looked quite similar to the one that had existed during the prior two decades. Mass media outlets in print, television and radio dominated sports opinion and news. The internet was seen as little more than a junior partner in that relationship.

But today’s sports media is almost irreconcilable with the earlier era – which helps explain his departure. During his tenure at ESPN, Simmons played a key role in that transformation, his outsider mentality and influential voice making an ongoing relationship with a media giant like ESPN difficult to maintain.

A changing landscape

Today, individual teams and leagues assume many media functions sportswriters once commanded, offering coverage and analysis of teams and players via their respective websites.

Prominent owners such as the Dallas Mavericks’ Mark Cuban have even stated that providing access to outlets such as ESPN.com is both unnecessary and counterproductive. Cuban cited his team’s ability to provide necessary facts and figures, and claimed that online media’s desire for web traffic lends itself to sensationalism.

Meanwhile, athlete-focused media ventures such as the Players’ Tribune, have emerged in the past few years. The site has promised players the ability to provide “unfiltered” stories directly to their fans, without relying on sports media members.

Thus with sports entities growing more protective of their brands, many of the traditional media outlets have struggled with issues of access and commentary.

And as University of Georgia journalism professor Welch Suggs has argued, legitimacy in sports journalism is often directly tied to whether or not sport organizations are willing to grant access to the journalists who cover them.

Not surprisingly, the lines between team

‘In many ways, Simmons altered the traditional sports writing model, bringing the questions and debates of living rooms, bars and dormitories to the computer screen.’

and league-driven PR and true journalistic inquiry have become inSimmons creasingly blurred.

These are lines that ESPN itself has struggled to define, with the business, entertainment and journalism wings of the company often in conflict.

Simmons brought a different approach

In many ways, Simmons altered the traditional sports writing model, bringing the questions and debates of living rooms, bars and dormitories to the computer screen. His work on Page 2 at ESPN in the early 2000s first demonstrated a fresh style that could be both effective and popular.

Balancing sports insights with pop culture references, his opinion writing was distinctive and entertaining. His fan-centric approach to columns personalized sports writing for the average reader.

While many traditional columnists often seemed to be talking down to the sports fan – or, in the words of Deadspin’s Drew Magary, “didn’t even seem to enjoy sports” – Simmons has always seemed to be talking with the sports fan, whether it was through his popular mailbag, or columns on topics ranging from running diaries of the NBA draft to evaluating relative levels of agony for fans of teams that lose key games.

While Simmons is not a traditional journalist, his use of columns, podcasts and – more recently – video has been highly influential. Much of sports commentary has evolved to match the model that Simmons popularized, blending established fact with opinion, speculation and intuition.

Simmons also seamlessly adapted to social media. His utilization of Twitter, podcasts and internet-hosted video helped to popularize those outlets for sportswriters. With nearly 4 million followers on Twitter, he formulated an unique personality-driven brand, a means to reach fans and offer opinions outside the traditional supervised environment.

Meanwhile, his concept of topical sports documentaries integrated fresh voices and unique commentary into an ESPN television strategy that had become stale.

Simmons’s crowning achievement at ESPN was his creation and stewardship of Grantland. The site has demonstrated that a mix of sports, pop culture, blogging, longform writing, video and podcasting can

survive and thrive in the social media era.

It’s a platform that suits the sensibilities of sports consumers who didn’t grow up relying solely on the newspaper for their daily sports knowledge.

What’s next?

Some have suggested that Simmons’s departure from ESPN stems from his scathing comments about NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. If so, it serves as a fitting endnote to the relationship: Simmons staked out the position of outsider even before he arrived at ESPN. His recent criticisms matched a growing public discontent with the actions of both the commissioner and the league, and were notable in comparison to the general lack of criticism of Goodell in NFL media circles – ESPN included. (As fans of the defunct ESPN series Playmakers know, Simmons is not the first casualty of the

network’s sensitivity to the NFL’s opinions and desires.)

It’s possible that Simmons will find he needs the marketing power of ESPN far more than ESPN needs Simmons. Many of his ventures have developed dedicated audiences and drawn critical praise, but do not generate the same level of revenue that ESPN content with broader appeal brings in.

So moving to a new venue – particularly one out of the mainstream – doesn’t guarantee the same level of popularity or success.

But it would be foolish to underestimate Simmons’s ability to channel his demonstrated drive, work ethic, and willingness to try new and innovative methods of content creation.

Wherever he ends up, he’ll likely build on his unique accomplishments over the past fourteen years.

Business of sport

Sports leagues don’t deserve nonprofit status The NFL says it’s giving up nonprofit protection, but it shoudn’t have had it in the first place

By Jay Zagorsky The Ohio State University

R

ecently, the National Football League (NFL) announced it was giving up its nonprofit status. This is a much-coveted designation because it exempts the entity from taxation.

Some lawmakers have been trying to take away its tax-exempt status for years, with Senator Tom Colburn and Congressman Jason Chaffetz leading the charge. But their bills to limit who qualifies have gone nowhere.

So why would the NFL want to unilaterally give it up and become a private, for-profit company? Before answering that question, we need to consider how the league operates and the benefits and costs of being a nonprofit.

How the NFL became a nonprofit

Professional football in the US is organized into two parts: there’s the league itself and then the 32 teams within it that compete every year for glory and the Vince Lombardi trophy.

Thirty-one of those teams are private, for-profit organizations, while just one, the Green Bay Packers, has public shareholders.

The league, however, is a nonprofit. The NFL was organized in 1920 to be a trade association to promote the interests of its member clubs (a job it’s done exceptionally well since football has been the most popular sport watched in the US for the past 30 years and most profitable). In 1966, the year the NFL merged with the American Football League, it became a nonprofit after the tax code was changed to allow professional football leagues 501(c)(6) status.

Nonprofits are given their status because the government wants to provide extra incentives for organizations to tackle problems and for individuals to donate money to solve them.

The obvious advantage of being a nonprofit is avoiding taxation. The major disadvantage is that the nonprofit has to file an annual public form with the IRS that discloses all financial information. This is very intrusive since the vast majority of for-profit businesses reveal their finances to the IRS alone. The only ones that have to provide detailed public disclosure are those with publicly traded stock or more than 300 shareholders.

And the only nonprofits that do not have to make annual public disclosures are religious organizations, like churches. The annual nonprofit disclosure form is called the 990. It shows a nonprofit’s revenue, expenses, profits, assets and salaries of top leaders. Using websites like GuideStar, anyone with an internet connection can see scanned images of the actual forms filed by each nonprofit.

Analyzing the NFL’s finances

The NFL’s most recent 990 form, shown in the image below, reveals that from April 2012 to March 2013 the NFL took in $327 million in revenue and had assets worth $788 million at the end of the period.

Even with all this money, the NFL earned a “profit” of only $9 million. One reason the gain was so low was that the NFL gave its top employees more than $60 million in pay for just that year, or almost one-fifth of all revenue! The commissioner, Roger Goodell, received $44 million in salary, bonuses and other compensation, while five other key employees took home $19 million.

Nonprofits are expected to do some charitable work. So even with millions in revenue, it gave away just $1.4 million of it, the majority of which went to either the NFL Foundation or the NFL Alumni Association. The rest was relatively small donations to organizations like

the March of Dimes and Big Brothers.

In the tax code, the NFL is considered a 501(c)(6) nonprofit, a category intended to exempt local chambers of commerce and business associations from paying taxes as long as they benefit an entire industry or help a common business interest.

The 501(c)(6) category, however, has one extra type included in the list of exempt organizations: “professional football leagues,“ added in 1966. Other sports, such as the National Hockey League, which makes $80 million in revenue, and the Professional Golfers’ Association, with $91 million, also gained nonprofit status under this 501(c)(6) provision.

This special category has earned Congressional ire. Most recently, Representative Chaffetz of Utah introduced a bill in January to revoke the nonprofit status of professional sports teams with revenues of more than $10 million.

Nonprofit no more: what the NFL gives up

What does the NFL lose by giving up its tax-exempt status? A key tax deduction.

The IRS tax code’s Section 162(m) allows for-profit companies to deduct only $1 million each for the CEO and the next four highest-paid officers. This means that if the NFL were classified as a for-profit business, its taxable profits would have been much higher.

Exactly how high is hard to say, but if the NFL could only deduct $1 million of commissioner Roger Goodell’s $44 million in salary and bonuses, its profits would be at least $43 million higher. Given the lowest-paid league key employee reported on the 990 form earned over $2.1 million, the $43 million boost in profits is likely an under-estimate.

And what does it gain?

So what will the NFL gain by giving up its non-profit status? It turns out, quite a few things. Here are four.

First, image. the NFL believes the nonprofit status is a “distraction” because it is any easy target for Congressmen, bloggers and sports writers. By giving up the status, it improves its image for a relatively low cost. While paying a few million more in taxes is a huge sum to most people, it is a tiny fraction of the $6 billion or so the league distributes every a year to its member teams.

On that point, a few words on how the league and its teams make money. In general, professional football is a financially opaque operation that earns a lot of money. Estimates based on only partial information are that the league distributes about $6 billion a year to its member teams. Most of that money comes from national television contracts, while about $1.6 billion comes from NFL Ventures through broadcasting rights, sponsorships to

use the NFL name and logo and licensing fees.

In addition, the 32 teams also are estimated to have earned more than $3 billion from local ticket sales, stadium parking fees and concessions – revenue that isn’t shared equally unlike the TV contracts and sponsorships.

Subtracting professional football’s costs result in estimates that the NFL and its teams share annual profits of about $1 billion.

A second benefit of giving up its nonprofit status is that the NFL no longer has to disclose so much financial information about its activities or salaries. Major League Baseball reportedly chose to give up its nonprofit status in 2007 so it wouldn’t have to disclose the salaries of its top brass.

The NFL’s 990 form is very detailed. For example, the most recent 990 shows that league officials gave $20,000 to the Congressional Black Caucus and spent about $12 million in travel with almost $8 million of that going to pay off their American Express bill.

Even most publicly traded companies don’t reveal the amount of their donations. Instead, a few set up separate charitable arms.

Third, it will help teams negotiate with their star players. Few fans care about how much the high paid “suits” in the league office make.

It is the star players who put fans in the seats.

These players and their agents want to ensure the stars earn more money than executives seemingly responsible only for doling out fines and arranging TV coverage. Reducing the pay for one or two marquee players ensures teams are able to stock their rosters with other talented players, resulting in a more exciting game.

Fourth, the NFL currently has almost $800 million dollars in assets. Being a nonprofit means revealing exactly how much cash is on hand ($86 million) or how much money has been loaned to key executives ($1.8 million). It is hard for the league and its teams to demand cities provide new tax-payer funded stadiums and infrastructure improvements when the league’s wealth is so glaringly obvious year after year.

As we can see, there are many financial and other benefits for the NFL to willingly shed its nonprofit status and relatively few drawbacks. Other rich sports-related nonprofits should follow suit, both for the reasons the NFL is doing so and because they shouldn’t be tax-exempt in the first place. Either way, Congress should strip “professional football leagues” and other sports leagues from the 501(c)(6) provision.

Sports in the US are no longer a small recreational pastime. They’re big business.

As sports become larger and more profitable, there is no rational criterion for the largest of them to be considered a nonprofit. It is time to stop playing games with taxpayers’ money and revoke the nonprofit status of any sports activity that brings in millions in revenue.

MLB

Is this what a turnaround looks like?

By James Fegan The Catbird Seat

M

ake sure it’s strongly on the record that objective indicators for the Sox are still extremely bad. They have the worst run differential in the league, they dug themselves such a hole offensively that there’s no point in looking at that figure for another month, and Samardzija is the only regular starter with an ERA under 5.00.

They look more like a team that HAS to normalize than one that is in the process of doing so.

A week after serving up what should truly be the nadir of any team’s season–a winless week capped off by a four-game sweep and thorough undressing at the hands of the Twins–the Sox raged again.

They won back-to-back series against a pair of not-awful teams (Detroit and Cincinnati), thanks in no small part to a pair of walk-off wins.

Walk-off wins feel like greater, cathartic triumphs than their typically one-run margins indicate, and combined with a sweeping adoption of a “Stir-it-up” celebration that is too ridiculous to be indicative of anything but full commitment, the Sox are looking and acting like a winner more than they are actually being one.

Jose Abreu is slumping. His home run at the end of Saturday’s blowout loss to the Reds was just his second extra-base hit in 14 games, in

which time he’s slugged .333. This is not dissimilar to his second-half power outage, but if he’s not going to hit over .400 while doing it, it’s just kind of unremarkable sludge.

Abreu has always tossed in garbage-looking plate appearances and amateur-ish foot movement even in the midst of stretches where he was burninating the countryside. The only real shift is that he’s doing it more often, and that his slump means that the Sox no longer have a single hitter on the roster who’s off to as good of a start as Marcus Semien; a somewhat upsetting development.

Somewhat accounting for Jose’s plateauing is Adam LaRoche trying to boost the Sox plate discipline numbers all by himself. LaRoche isn’t hitting–as in nothing that involves him putting a bat on the ball is very remarkable–but sports a .500 OBP on the month because he’s already taken 10 walks.

With that alongside Avisail Garcia, who is both making tons of contact (4 K’s in 38 trips to the plate in May), and actually smacked a home run to left field Saturday night to get his season ISO over .100 (we count the small victories here, buddy), the middle of the White Sox order is...

functional (?) for the time being, which is nice since 1-2 is still mostly a tire fire.

The White Sox finish the week against the last-place Oakland A’s and previously mentioned MVP candidate Marcus Semien. Oakland’s been a house of horrors for a variety of reasons, but the Sox ostensibly have another opportunity to get themselves back floating around .500 by midMay, blinding terribleness aside.

With a revamped roster, the Sox were hoping to have a hot start while still leaving a few weapons holstered. They wanted Micah Johnson and Avisail Garcia to work through struggles, wait for their in-house supply to get healthy for any bullpen help, and they wanted to minimize Carlos Rodon’s innings until they needed them.

With Avisail and the bullpen rolling smoothly, but the team still 6.5 games back already, they’re facing a judgment call on when they need to deploy Rodon. While John Danks pulled a QS from his frayed shoulder over the weekend, the next good thing Hector Noesi does in 2015 will be the first, and it will truly be a new order under Rick Hahn if the Sox get through the month without utilizing their biggest remaining counter-punch.

This has become a question of making a team good enough to overtake others, and even if they’re better than their start, the Sox need outside improvement to transcend it.

‘What finally won over (owners) was the classic “slippery slope” argument: if the League could dictate radio rights, what other team rights might be at stake? To them, team autonomy was paramount.’

BASEBALL From Back Cover

But the anti-radio owners, led by the three New York clubs (the Yankees, Giants and Dodgers), wanted to deny Wrigley his two-hour Cubs commercial.

Although he jealously guarded his control over World Series radio rights, MLB Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis believed local radio rights were a league matter and left the decision to broadcast regular season games to the owners.

At several NL and AL owners meetings in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the anti-radio forces proposed a league-wide ban on local broadcasts of regular season games.

Pro-radio clubs, led by Cubs’ President Bill Veeck, Sr, were adamant that the choice to broadcast belonged to his club. It was no more of concern to other clubs, he argued, than the decision whether or not to sell peanuts to the fans in the stands.

But to teams like the St Louis Cardinals, it was a concern: because the Cubs’ radio waves reached the Cardinals’ fan base, they were convinced that the broadcasts negatively influenced their own attendance numbers. The decision of whether or not to broadcast games, they reasoned, was not the Cubs alone to make.

What finally won over the Cardinals – and enough of the owners to prevent the passage of a league-wide radio ban – was the classic “slippery slope” argument: if the League could dictate radio rights, what other team rights might be at stake? To them, team autonomy was paramount.

From there, the best the anti-radio forces could muster was a tie vote at the 1934 American League meeting; team control over its media rights was codified by the slimmest of margins.

The matter appeared settled: pro-radio teams would continue to exploit the medium and anti-radio barons would limit coverage to the home opener and a handful of other games.

General Mills pounces

But the makers of the “Breakfast of Champions” had other ideas. General Mills, producer of Wheaties, realized that broadcasts of the national pastime and other sports were direct avenues into the American home.

Sports sold breakfast food to kids and their moms, so General Mills invested heavily in game broadcasts, becoming the leading sponsor of the sport by 1936. General Mills bought major league broadcasts where available and even tried to purchase league-wide contracts in 1936, presenting survey evidence that “baseball broadcasting, properly handled, definitely increases attendance at the parks.”

General Mills also sponsored training conferences to professionalize baseball, announcing and offered prizes to announcers who did the best job of increasing the home gate.

Radio didn’t even require an announcer to be at the ballpark. Games could be “re-created” out of any station using telegraph reports of the games (with a few sound effects peppered in to enhance the realism of the broadcast). In 1933, General Mills sponsored re-creations of Cubs and White Sox games by “Dutch” Reagan – future president Ronald Regan – over Iowa stations WOC and WHO. General Mills’ aggressive push alarmed NL President Ford Frick who worried that his senior circuit might become “a breakfast food league.”

But mighty as it was, General Mills was initially frozen out of the nation’s biggest baseball market.

In 1932, the three New York clubs had agreed to ban local broadcasts for five years. The teams had little regular local coverage and even restricted broadcasts from visiting teams back to their home cities. Undaunted, General Mills began sponsoring re-creations of Boston and Phila-

delphia home games on New York’s WMCA, opening up the New York market without the consent of the Yankees, Giants or Dodgers.

While not as popular as their local teams’ games might be, New York listeners finally were finally receiving a regular dose of MLB play.

Pressure on anti-radio teams to broadcast was growing in other markets. In Pittsburgh, stations were re-creating games without consent of the local team, using observers at the park, or monitoring other broadcasts. Owners now realized their property rights were at stake: if they didn’t meet the public’s demand for daily baseball broadcasts, others would.

The owners began to cooperate, sharing information on the value of their local broadcasts rights. In 1937, Leo Bondy of the New York Giants shocked NL owners by reporting that his team turned down $100,000 for the rights to broadcast home games.

Soon, owners realized that baseball on the radio was more than promotion: it could generate some serious cash. To protect their increasingly valuable rights, owners took on broadcast bootleggers in federal court. In 1938, the Pittsburgh Pirates successfully sued local station KQV, which had been pirating the team’s broadcasts.

The court’s decision solidified the ownership of broadcast rights of local teams, opening the door to billions in future media rights revenues.

In 1939, after the New York teams’ five-year ban expired, the Dodgers brought famed broadcaster Red Barber from Cincinnati to Brooklyn. The city quickly embraced the talented Barber. The Yankees and Giants followed suit, also allowing home broadcasts in 1939.

The 20-year conflict over radio was over. The two were now joined in an increasingly profitable partnership – one that, with the advent of TV, would go on to reap billions.

Tales from the Trough

Rockford takes heavy losses in Grand Rapids, trails 0-2

By Todd Reicher Exclusive to TRRT

After sweeping the Texas Stars in the first round of the playoffs the IceHogs find themselves down 0-2 against the 2013 Calder Cup champion Grand Rapids Griffins.

Last Wednesday’s opening game was a close contest until the final few minutes.

Grand Rapids got on the board first with a Kevin Porter tally just 2:01 into the matchup.

Rockford’s Mark McNeill responded at 8:41 of the same period with his first goal of the post-season to even things up at 1-1 after 20 minutes.

Two goals in three minutes by Teemu Pulkkinen put Grand Rapids up 3-1 late in the second period, putting Rockford in a bind.

Rockford answered the bell early in the third period with a Stephen Johns tally 3:16 into the final period to draw the ‘Hogs to within one goal.

Midway through the period Garrett Ross got the equalizer, tying things up at 3-3. After being tied with 14 shots on goal in the first period Rockford was outshot the Griffins 21-6 in the second and third.

Late in the third period Pulkkinen struck again, completing the hat trick with 2:46 left in the game to put the Griffins ahead 4-3.

With Michael Leighton to the bench Rockford was unable to tally with the extra skater and Louis-Marc Aubry set in an empty-netter to give the Griffins a 5-3 win.

Friday night’s game two saw the IceHogs fall again, this time by a 5-1 margin.

It was Brandon Mashinter getting Rockford on the scoreboard first 6:18 into the opening period to set Rockford up with a 1-0 lead.

From there on out it was all Grand Rapids, with the Griffins scoring five unanswered goals to give the Griffins a two-game lead over Rockford.

Tyler Bertuzzi tied the score at 1-1 12:26 into the first period tying the game once again at 1-1 after the first period.

Anthony Mantha tallied the only second period goal, giving the Griffins their first lead of the game, 2-1. That score would carry until the third period when the wheels fell off for Rockford.

Pulkkinen scored his fourth goal in two games at 1:36 of the third period to put Grand Rapids solidly ahead 3-1. The goals was Pulkkinen’s 10th of the post season.

Six minutes later Captain Jeff Hoggan tallied his first post-season marker to nail it down and a final power-play marker by Pulkkinen with 4:36 remaining, ended the scoring with a 5-1 Griffins win.

At the end of the game tempers flared for Rockford and Grand Rapids and 72 penalty minutes were doled between the two teams, with Rockford earning 42 and 30 for Grand Rapids.

Infractions were mostly unsportsmanlike conduct penalties and the recipients were P.C. Labrie, Cody Bass, Keith Seabrook, Brennan Evans, Mantha and Kevin Porter.

No suspensions were handed out, but it appears the physical tone for the remainder of the season has been set.

The series will now switch to Rockford for three straight games giving the IceHogs an opportunity to even things back up and potentially take the lead on home ice.

It will not be an easy task as Rockford will need to win four of the next five games in order to win the series.

Game three of the series will be at the BMO Harris Bank Center tonight at 7 p.m.

Game four is set for Thursday with another 7 p.m. start. If the IceHogs win at least one of those two games a game five will be at the BMO on Sunday at 4 p.m.

If Rockford wins two of the three home games, the series will shift back to Grand Rapids for a game six and seven, if necessary.

If those games do happen, game six will be Tuesday, May 19 and seven would be Wednesday, May 20.

Baseball’s war on radio Nearly 100 years ago MLB almost banned radio broadcasts

By James Walker

TheConversation.com

In December 2011, when the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and Texas Rangers signed away their local television rights for about $3 billion apiece, the sport media heralded a new record for local television rights fees. Accounting for roughly 43% of MLB’s $8 billion haul in 2014, media revenues have made the players rich and the owners even richer.

Today, the idea that a team would ban its games from being broadcast is unthinkable, so ingrained are TV and radio contracts in the marketing and business practices of the sport.

But in 1921, when radios first began making their way into American homes, a number of baseball team owners weren’t quite sure what to make of the emerging technology. In fact, the owners were sharply divided over whether or not broadcasting games on the radio would benefit or deeply damage revenues. A 20year battle among owners would ensue.

East Coast opposition

While radio’s popularity couldn’t be denied, half of baseball’s barons – mostly located along the East Coast – viewed radio as a fifth estate thief, robbing them of paying customers at the gate. And in this era, the gate was everything.

But other owners, led by Chicago Cubs owner William Wrigley and locat-

ed primarily in the Midwest, saw radio as a promotional machine that would sell baseball to women and, more importantly, children – the next generation of paying fans.

Each group had sound reasons for its stance. Squeezed along the Atlantic coast, the eastern franchises drew most paying customers from dense, urban populations who used streetcars and subways to get to the ballparks. These teams worried that radio might keep some of those fans at home.

Midwestern owners, generally located in smaller cities, depended more on out-of town weekend and holiday guests, who arrived by car and bus. In their minds, baseball broadcasts would reach across the region’s vast farm fields and into the living rooms of small town America, tempting tens of thousands to come to the city and see what they could only hear through the ether.

In the 1920s, teams that did broadcast games on the radio usually charged nothing for the rights, settling for free promotion of their on-field product. For Wrigley, who was accustomed to paying retail rates to advertise his chewing gum, the prospect of two hours of free advertising for his Chicago Cubs (over as many as five Chicago radio stations) was generous enough compensation.
