    Edmund F. Ball's career in public broadcasting began with his membership in the National Council of the Humanities, after which he served as a board member of the Eastern Indiana Educational Television Board. From 1970 to 1973, he served as a public member of the Executive Board of the National Association of Educational Broadcasters (NAEB). On July 27, 1973, Ball was designated lay representative to the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) for WIPB-TV, Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana. That first year, his PBS duties consisted of serving as the third Vice-Chairman on the Board of Governors, and as a member of the Executive Committee, the CPB-PBS Partnership Review Committee, the Long-Range Finance Committee, and the Coordinating Committee. From 1974 to 1975, he was re-elected to the Partnership Review Committee. In 1976, Ball was elected to be a member of the Development and Public Information Committee. He served on both the Board of Directors and the Board of Governors until he left PBS in 1978. This collection documents Edmund F. Ball's involvement with NAEB and PBS

    After his speech at Ball State, Kennedy was scheduled to fly to Indianapolis to open his downtown campaign headquarters and to give a speech at an outdoor rally in an African American neighborhood. Before leaving Muncie, he learned that civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. had been shot in Memphis, Tennessee. Upon arriving in Indianapolis, Kennedy heard that King had died.Robert F.

    In the spring of 1968 Kennedy, following the success of U.S. Senator Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota in early Democratic primaries opposing Johnson, jumped into the campaign. Kennedy's first effort to sway voters came in the Indiana Democratic presidential primary. He kicked off his campaign in the Hoosier State on April 4 with appearances at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend and Ball State University in Muncie.Robert F. Kennedy in Indian

    A Study of Diagnostic Signatures of a Deep Groove Ball Bearing Based on a Nonlinear Dynamic Mode

    No full text
    For accurate fault detection and diagnosis, this paper focuses on the study of bearing vibration responses under increasing radial clearances due to investable wear and different bearing grades. A nonlinear dynamic model incorporating with local defects and clearance increments is developed for a deep groove ball bearing. The model treats the inner race-shaft and outer race-housing as two lumped masses which are coupled by a nonlinear spring formalized by the Hertzian contact deformation between the balls and races. The solution of the nonlinear equation is obtained by a Runge-Kutta method in Matlab. The results show that the vibrations at fault characteristic frequencies exhibit significant changes with increasing clearances. However, an increased vibration is found for the outer race fault whereas a decreased vibration is found for inner race fault. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account these changes in determining the size of faults

    Generating ball trajectory in soccer video sequences

    No full text
    This paper demonstrates innovative techniques for estimating the trajectory of a soccer ball, using fixed cameras with constant calibration parameters. In contrast with broadcast coverage, for fixed camera data, the ball is often rendered with poor resolution away from the image centre. The rapidly moving ball is subject to motion-blur, caused by finite shutter speeds and interlaced fields, resulting in variable shape, size and colour. The velocity estimated from Kalman tracking is used in both normalising ball size and filtering the ball from false alarms. Furthermore, occlusion-reasoning and tracking-back methods are utilized to estimate its position when it is occluded, and also to remove false alarms. Finally, temporal hysteresis based thresholding of the ball likelihood is applied for trajectory filtering to improve the robustness and continuity of the tracked ball. Promising experimental results from several long sequences are reported

    Skylight from the Fifth Floor Ceiling of Ball Stores

    The original Ball Stores in downtown Muncie closed in 1986. It remained vacant and was demolished in 1989. The Arts and Crafts style stained-glass skylight, which had been the ceiling of the old McNaughton store’s atrium, was saved. It was donated in memory of Edmund F. Petty to Ball State University and installed in the Museum of Art on its campus in 2002.Use of this image is restricted to projects related to Destination Indiana.

    Reminiscences about two legal cases in which he was involved. The Story of Annie McArthur (28 leaves), the first case, concerns a court case involving James G. Craigie, his wife Ann Walker Craigie, and her daughter Annie. The main events take place at Balmoral, Craigie's mill, and Fergus Falls, Minnesota. The second piece is The Story of Two States (18 leaves) which relates the story of a Texas lawyer who ran away with a married woman; they eventually lived in Fargo for some years. A note included indicates the lawyer's name was Miller W. McCraw and his accomplice was I.P. Clapp. A clipping of an interview with Mr. Ball during his term as mayor of Fargo is included
