Major league baseball takes a pause in its regular schedule today to play its 83rd all-star game. This year’s event is being held in Kansas City. The first midsummer all-star game was played on July 6,1933, at Comiskey Park in Chicago. A homer by Babe Ruth helped the American League defeat the National League, 4-to-2. Before 1933, all- star games were exhibition games, played either before or after the regular season. A few star players took part, and the rosters were filled by lesser-known players and even some minor leaguers. Major league baseball draws an annual audience of 74.5 million fans.

Can anyone confirm the story about Steven DeCillis in this morning’s paper? Is this really true or just a chance to try to destroy the man’s image?
I confirm I heard about this incident last year.
A Steven B. DeCillis was the defendant before the disciplinary hearing commission of the NC State Bar back in July 2003. That Steven B. DeCillis was sexually aggressive towards females. http://www.ncbar.com/orders/volume%206/05968960.pdf .

Is this what you heard anon3? You be the judge consequencesandrepurcussions
I was told that the City Council did not change the rules for internet cafes, but the paper makes it sound like they did. Anybody know?
Thank you Anonymous. I didn’t know that the documents you linked were available for public reading.
I heard regarding the investigation on the 2nd link, I did not hear about the first one.
Mingo, the paper says “The council considered dropping space restrictions for Internet sweepstakes cafes, but a motion did not receive a second and never came to a vote.
Restrictions of 750 feet from each other as well as church, school and residential locations remains in place.”
Mingo, it just took an extra day for the paper to resolve the mystery of what did happen at Monday’s council meeting. Anon3, today’s Dispatch cleared up the mystery of what you said the paper wrote and what I read in the paper yesterday. Anon3 you need to be careful with those quotation marks.

I gather from your comment that the print edition of Tuesdays paper said something other than what I quoted. I copied and pasted from their article on their website yesterday, I haven’t seen the print edition. Today’s online article says “The council did not, as reported in Tuesday’s edition of The Dispatch, approve a change to Internet café regulations on space restrictions. The motion for changes was not seconded and never called for a vote. The restrictions remain as before, that no Internet café can locate within 750 feet of another, or of a church or school.” So I also gather from that also the print said something different. If you are referring to something different, I do not understand.
Anon3, I did not know the paper had an on-line edition. On the back page of Tuesday’s print edition under the heading City is the continuation of the summation of the council meeting that started on the front page. The 4th paragraph is this “internet sweepstakes cafes also got a positive word from the council, when a unanimous decision dropped space restrictions for the business when locate at an approved shopping center”. I think we can see why I was confused. Thanks for the correction. Wednesday’s on line and print say the same thing.
