A Home on the Field is about faith, loyalty, and trust. It is a parable in the tradition of Stand and Deliver and Hoosiers—a story of one team and their accidental coach who became certain heroes to the whole community. For the past ten years, Siler City, North Carolina, has been at the front lines of immigration in the interior portion of the United States. Like a number of small Southern towns, workers come from traditional Latino enclaves across the United States, as well as from Latin American countries, to work in what is considered the home of industrial-scale poultry processing. At enormous risk, these people have come with the hope of a better life and a chance to realize their portion of the American Dream. But it isn't always easy. Assimilation into the South is fraught with struggles, and in no place is this more poignant than in the schools. When Paul Cuadros packed his bags and moved south to study the impact of the burgeoning Latino community,...

The revolution began with the simple act of a mother kicking a ball to her daughter. An English soccer trainer noticed, and praised her form. "Too bad," she replied, "there's no soccer league for mothers." Who could know that so many lives would change as a result of that simple exchange? In the suburban enclave of Montclair, New Jersey, as in so many communities around America, there was nothing new in the sight of mothers driving their minivans to soccer practice. What was new was that these women were driving to their own practices instead of dropping off their kids and watching from the sidelines. For the generation that grew up before Title IX's mandate of equal athletic opportunity, the field of play was a male preserve; girls watched and cheered. The lessons that sports are supposed to teach - team spirit, overcoming adversity, playing to win without rancor or anger - were restricted to this young boys' network; how could women help win the Battle of Waterloo when they'd been...

During the last years, Robotic Soccer has become one of the most challenging research fields for multiagent systems (MAS). In RoboCup soccer, teams of autonomous agents have to cooperatively solve the problem of winning against another team of agents. There are different leagues to address a wide area of research problems. However, many of the solutions to these are also league-dependent. This publication contributes tools and techniques to create physical MAS in domains where each agent has insufficient capabilities for solving the problem alone. All contributions of this book address the problem of league-independent solutions and provide means to create more generally applicable approaches. The contributions of this work have shown to be useful within the simulated robotic soccer domain and real robotic soccer. As a result, more general MAS research problems can be stated, and domain knowledge can be shared between different leagues.
