University of Missouri professor Melissa Stormont lays flowers on the steps of the Islamic Center of Central Missouri. | Lane Burdette/Photographer Local citizens hold solidarity march in Columbia in response to Trump's "Muslim ban" President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday that limits the immigration from seven majority Muslim countries. The rally started in Peace Park to stand with local Muslims. A representative of the Islamic Center of Central Missouri led about 200 people from the park to the mosque at the corner of Fifth and Locust streets, where they were greeted with cookies, snacks and juice. The marchers left their signs and flowers on the front steps of the mosque and then returned to Peace Park. CPD faces allegations of illegally recording client-attorney calls The complaint was filed against the Columbia Police Department by attorney Stephen Wyse on Jan. 23. Wyse filed the complaint after he read about a drunk driving case in the Columbia Daily Tribune, in which cops violated attorney-client privilege by covertly observing and recording the conversation. Federal law makes it illegal to intentionally intercept, disclose or use any wire, oral or electronic communication through the use of a “device,” and law enforcement officers may only wiretap a conversation in which one of the parties involved in the conversation has consented to the recording.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Health and Human Development WINNING AND LOSING: A PHILOSOPHICAL ANALYSIS A Dissertation in Kinesiology by Brian Kayle Richardson © 2012 Brian Kayle Richardson Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2012 The dissertation of Brian K. Richardson was reviewed and approved* by the following: Robert Scott Kretchmar Professor of Exercise and Sport Science Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Linda L. Caldwell Professor of Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management Douglas R. Hochstetler Associate Professor of Kinesiology Mark Dyreson Professor of Kinesiology Karl Newell Professor of Kinesiology and Biobehavioral Health Head of the Department *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT The concept of winning and losing is deeply ingrained in the Western approach to competition. Much of this emphasis on the winning vs. losing dichotomy comes from exponential growth in professional sports and business-oriented intercollegiate athletics. Sports are big business. Now parents of young children are often pushing the win vs. lose concept beginning with teams for very young children through high school sports. This dissertation has three hypotheses: While dichotomous characterizations of sporting achievement enjoy degrees of validity, they are insufficient; these insufficiencies can be shown metaphysically and normatively, and; traditions and practices of Zen Buddhism can be used effectively as a source for rival conceptions of sporting achievement. This study examines winning and losing from a Western perspective by examining dualisms and dichotomies, complementary pairs, and Darwinian roots of dichotomies. Then it examines the nature of sporting tests, test variations and related meanings, test contingencies and related meanings, the complexity and nature of sporting contests, test-contest relationships, and seven types of winning ~ losing.

  • Paradoxical Pop-Ups: Why Are They Difficult to Catch? Michael K
    Paradoxical pop-ups: Why are they difficult to catch? Michael K. McBeath Department of Psychology, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona 85287 ͒ Alan M. Nathana Department of Physics, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois 61801 A. Terry Bahill Department of Systems and Industrial Engineering, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721 David G. Baldwin P. O. Box 190, Yachats, Oregon 97498 ͑Received 20 September 2007; accepted 9 May 2008͒ Professional baseball players occasionally find it difficult to gracefully approach seemingly routine pop-ups. We describe a set of towering pop-ups with trajectories that exhibit cusps and loops near the apex. For a normal fly ball the horizontal velocity continuously decreases due to drag caused by air resistance. For pop-ups the Magnus force is larger than the drag force. In these cases the horizontal velocity initially decreases like a normal fly ball, but after the apex, the Magnus force accelerates the horizontal motion. We refer to this class of pop-ups as paradoxical because they appear to misinform the typically robust optical control strategies used by fielders and lead to systematic vacillation in running paths, especially when a trajectory terminates near the fielder. Former major league infielders confirm that our model agrees with their experiences. © 2008 American Association of Physics Teachers. ͓DOI: 10.1119/1.2937899͔ I. INTRODUCTION The frequency of pop-ups in the major leagues—an aver- age of nearly five pop-ups per game2—is sufficiently large Baseball has a rich tradition of misjudged pop-ups. For that teams provide considerable pop-up practice for infielders example, on April, 1961, Roy Sievers of the Chicago White and catchers.

  • Summary of Public Input
    appendix A Summary of Public Input Approximately, 80-to-100 residents participated in the first round of Summary of MetroGreen public workshops. Three drop-in format meetings were held on the evenings of April 24, 25, and 26. The workshops were located at Public Workshops the Missouri Department of Transportation office in Lee’s Summit, St. Luke’s Northland Hospital off Barry Road, and the Sylvester Powell Community Center in Mission. Three more meetings were held in June on the 25th, 26th, and 27th. These workshops were held at the Gladstone Community Building in Central Park, the Brush Creek Community Center, and the Merriam Community Center. Approximately, 50-to-70 people attended these workshops. A final public meeting was held on October 24th in downtown Kansas City. Participants viewed a short video that explains the concept of greenways, the different forms greenways take, and the many functions that they perform. Also, available for public viewing were displays produced by area agencies, highlighting local and regional trails systems, proposed and existing. Visitors were encouraged to look at, write comments, and sketch ideas on regional and county maps that were produced especially for the workshops. Workshop attendees located areas that they felt needed bicycle and/or pedestrian connections. Digital photographs of the maps and comments are printed on the following pages. A comment form was also made available to participants. Results from these forms are displayed following the workshop maps. Comments from the workshops were incorporated into subsequent drafts of the MetroGreen Map that shows potential greenway locations. In addition, MARC staff, Greenways Incorporated, Patti Banks Associates, and local representatives attended the workshops to answer questions and solicit responses.
