KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- In an announcement Tuesday afternoon, the MLB says Kansas City Royals pitchers Kelvin Herrera and Yordano Ventura have received discipline for their roles in on-field incidents during the Club’s weekend series against the Oakland Athletics at Kauffman Stadium. |
Herrera received a five-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for intentionally throwing a pitch in the head area of Brett Lawrie of the A’s in the top of the eighth inning of the Sunday, April 19th game, with warnings in place. |
Ventura has received an undisclosed fine for intentionally throwing a pitch at Lawrie in the top of the fourth inning of the Saturday, April 18th game. |
Unless appealed, Herrera’s suspension is scheduled to begin Tuesday night, when the Royals are to continue their home series against the Minnesota Twins. If appealed, Herrera’s suspension will be held in abeyance until the process is complete. |

The defendants had demonstrated to demand investigation and punishment of those responsible for mass food poisoning at the Al-Azhar campus. |
An Egyptian court on Thursday sentenced 17 people to 14 years in jail each on charges including assault and occupying public buildings during protests at Cairo's Al-Azhar University last year. |
The defendants, believed to be supporters of deposed Egyptian president Mohamed Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood, had demonstrated to demand investigation and punishment of those responsible for mass food poisoning at the Al-Azhar campus. |
Dozens of students were hospitalised at the time of the poisonings last April at Al-Azhar, a seat of Islamic learning that draws students from across the Sunni Muslim world. |
Security forces have cracked down hard on the Brotherhood since Mursi's ouster last July, killing hundreds of supporters in the streets and arresting thousands of others. The movement's top leaders are on trial. |
Human rights groups accuse the army-backed government of human rights abuses and orchestrating political trials against members of the movement, which won nearly every election after an uprising toppled autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011. |
The government denies the allegations and has declared the Brotherhood a terrorist group that threatens the country's security. The movement says it is committed to peaceful activism. |
“That isn’t me that’s being written about. I’ve had enough. I just want to withdraw from the limelight completely for sometime,” said Ranbir, 28. The actor is currently busy shooting for Imtiaz Ali's ‘Rockstar’ with half Czech-half Pakistani model Nargis Fakhri. “More than himself, Ranbir is embarrassed because of his ... |
“Ranbir is specially cheesed off by the rumours about Nargis. He has never treated her as anything more than a co-star. Ranbir goes out with her, yes, but only in a group with his other friends.” The friend says there’s a valid reason for why Ranbir was seen with Nargis at a movie recently. “Nargis is under an exclusiv... |
“Ranbir was keen to see ‘The King’s Speech’and not ‘Black Swan’ as reported with his buddy Ayan Mukerjee. Nargis wanted to come along. Which she did, with a female friend of hers. |
Ranbir's friend feels the image of the womanser is being carried to the extreme and being planted by ‘vested interests’ only to show that the actor is not as serious about his work as his colleagues. |

National Parental Involvement Day, on Nov. 21, will highlight a new partnership that aims to provide low-income families with free or discounted Internet access, computers, and training to enable parents to communicate more effectively with their children's teachers and schools. |
Project Appleseed, the St. Louis-based nonprofit and founder of National Parental Involvement Day, has joined forces with Connect2Compete, a partnership of IT companies and nonprofits that connect low-income Americans to the Internet. Connect2Compete is a nonprofit organization supported by Comcast, Cox, Freedom Pop, A... |
Kevin S. Walker, the president of Project Appleseed, found a quote he gave a publication in 1994 where he boldly predicted: "Cyberspace would tie America's parent constituency together." |
Walker added in an interview last week: "It hasn't worked that way." |
Instead, he said poor parents have been left out as schools have adopted technology to improve parent engagement efforts, including accessing students' grades online and communicating with teachers via email. Walker said technology also is an essential tool to recruit and organize parents. Using social media and email ... |
In recognition of National Parental Involvement Day, Project Appleseed is calling on parents and schools to identify families in need of free or low-cost Internet connections and computers and assist them in registering for the national program. Connect2Compete hopes to reach 100 million Americans who do not have home ... |

Don C. Wallace, a pioneer in radio communications and dean of the country's long-distance amateur radio operators, died Saturday in Long Beach after suffering a stroke. He was 86. |
From his "antenna ranch" atop a ridge on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, Wallace had been in touch with more people in more countries than any other ham operator in the world since 1955, colleagues said Sunday. |
"He was the No. 1 man, No. 1 in the world," said Lloyd Colvin of Richmond, Calif., a director of YASME, a worldwide ham organization. "We have nearly two million people in the world who have amateur radio as a hobby, and I'd say a very high percentage either knew of Don or had talked with him over the years." |
A licensed radio operator by 1912, Wallace was chief radio operator for President Woodrow Wilson at the Versailles peace conference after World War I. In 1923, he received a silver cup from then-Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover for operating "the best all-around radio station" in the country. |
Over the years, Wallace, a Long Beach resident since 1906, became famous for his designs and experimentation in amateur radio stations, Colvin said. In 1945 he bought the old Press Wireless communications facility at Palos Verdes. |
From there, he became perennial champion "collector of countries"--reaching 365 places classified as nations by the American Radio Relay League by 1980. His overseas contacts and those of others competing for top honors were verified by the League. |
"It's like being a world champion golfer for 25 years or the world's top runner for that long," he said in a 1980 interview. The antennas, whose designs he was constantly improving, were the key to his success, he said. |
His 24-acre ranch is dotted with poles, 75 to 140 feet high and strung with 1,000-foot-long lateral antennas. Despite his age, Wallace climbed the towers to do maintenance until about five years ago, said his son, William Wallace of Long Beach. Also surviving are a son, Don C. Jr. of Long Beach and a daughter, Betty Je... |
"His forte was maintaining the best amateur radio station possible," said William Wallace. "The building here is 100 feet long and it's just full of equipment. And he has a full setup in his car. He could talk around the world from his car." |
Wallace spent Friday morning at his radio, his son said, and was stricken that afternoon at his regular card game at the Virginia Country Club. |
On a typical day, Wallace, who is better known internationally by his W6AM call sign, would contact such far-flung locations as Antarctica, Saudi Arabia and the Soviet Union. But he would never talk politics or religion, he once said. "Amateur radio operators have a code of ethics," he explained. |
