Both developments represented a complete turnaround from last year's All-Star Game events for Helton, the Colorado Rockies' first baseman.
Helton's homer, off the first pitch to him from Seattle's Shigetoshi Hasegawa in the fifth inning, lifted the National League to a 2-1 lead during a five-run inning. The American League won the game, 7-6.
There was no reason Helton wouldn't bring his hot streak into the All-Star Game. Before the break, he had hits in 27 of the last 28 regular-season games, and four homers in the final three games.
"I got to take batting practice yesterday," Helton said. "That's the thing about the All-Star Game. If you're going bad you want to take the three days off. If you're going good you want to keep swinging."
This time last year, Helton was swinging through pain.
In Milwaukee, he managed a single -- the first in All-Star play by Helton, now in his fourth game and third as a starter
-- and drove in a run. But he played the season with a bone spur in his back for most of the season, and the pain he was feeling merely running down the first-base line was apparent in the clenched-teeth look of his face.
Helton lasted the season, hitting for little power. Rockies physicians chose not to operate after the season. Anti-inflammatory medicine and an exercise program has helped Helton stay healthy this year.
"I remember taking batting practice last year in Milwaukee, which is a good place to hit," Helton said the day before the game, leaning painlessly in a folding chair. "I couldn't even hit the ball. I did take BP. Guys were like leaving the yard at-will and I'm trying to keep my edge and it wasn't working. I knew I was in trouble.
"It's something that I'm always going to have to deal with. It's not something that is ever going to be totally healthy. It's just a maintenance type thing, to make sure that I don't get back to the situation I was in last year."
There is no pain in this year's experience. Not only is he hitting well (.349, second in the NL, 21 home runs and 78 RBIs) but he's well-accompanied. He brought his father, Jerry Helton, to the game.
Helton's dad taught him a stroke that lashes balls up the middle and the opposite way, mainly because Helton was afraid to pull the ball. Helton, you see, would do hitting in his garage in Knoxville, Tenn. If he pulled the ball, it would hit his father's Fiberglas boat, which meant trouble.
Helton's deep shot to right-center would have been OK at any age with dad, who was at U.S. Cellular Field to share the experience.
"I'm sure my dad was way more excited than I was," Helton said. "I was happy to contribute, to get us on the board.
Helton was joined on the active All-Star roster by Preston Wilson, who entered the game in right field -- he usually plays center - in the bottom of the fifth, and led off the top of the sixth with a bouncing single up the middle off Oakland's Mark Mulder. He was erased on a double play.
Wilson brought his 9-month-old daughter, his mother and his stepfather, former Major League outfielder Mookie Wilson, among his contingent.
"It was a great feeling, really, just to get into the game," Wilson said. "Getting a hit was just an added thrill."
Wilson, who leads the National League with 91 RBIs, said he believes he hadn't played right field in a game since 1998. "It was a different look, but it didn't feel too awkward out there," he said.
Rockies right-handed pitcher Shawn Chacon was chosen to the NL team, but did not participate because he is coming off an elbow injury.
"I got out there (between innings), caught some balls, threw some balls to the fans," said Chacon, who is healthy and will take an 11-4 record into his next start, Saturday at San Francisco. "It was fun, a lot of fun. I wish I could have played. It will give me incentive to try to get back one of these years."

Keep the Baits in Play
It's easy to get excited when a sailfish is hooked and the aerial display begins. That's fine, as long as everyone's other eye is glued to the remaining baits, anticipating a double- or triple-header. Remove all the rods, and you might get that one fish. Keep most of the baits in play, and you could be in for a big rally.
When we hook up, we'll clear only the lines that might interfere with the fish, and keep the others in play. The kite baits stay put, splashing at the surface, and all will keep a vigilant watch on the upwind floats and deep rod. We'll maintain the watch right through the release of the sailfish. Then, we'll strip back and cut the damaged leader, retie the hook and rebait, and get that outfit right back into the spread. After all, there are fish to catch!
Tackle Up With Different Rigs
Kite Setups
Conventional: 6-foot new-generation composite stand-up-style rods rated for 30- to 60-pound or 50- to 80-pound line.
Conventional: Penn 16 Internationals, 30 and 40 class lever drag reels; 9500-class spinning reels.
30-pound nylon mono on Internationals. On smaller-capacity reels, 50-pound braid, with a 100- to 200-yard topshot of 30-pound nylon monofilament. High-viz yellow makes it easy to monitor kite lines.
10-foot, 50-pound-test fluorocarbon leader attached to main line with barrel swivel.
VMC Tournament in-line circle or equivalent, size 4/0 to 7/0, to match the bait.
Double the main line with a Bimini Twist and run it through the ceramic ring that will connect to the release clip, then through a brightly colored float to help monitor the line. Then tie the double line to a barrel swivel, and add a 10-foot, 50-pound-test fluorocarbon leader.
Flat Lines
Combination of small conventionals, same as kite rods, and 7-foot spinning rods rated for 20- to 40-pound-test line.
Conventional: 30-class lever drag reels; spinning, 7000-, 8000- and 9500-class reels.
Conventional: same setup as kite rods, above; spinners, 20-pound-test nylon monofilament, in clear or smoke blue.
Double the main line with a Bimini twist and tie it to a small barrel swivel, followed by 10 feet of 30- to 50-pound fluoro leader. When drifting or slow-trolling with spin tackle, the swivel alleviates line twist.
In-line circle hook, size 4/0 to 7/0, to match bait.
To position deep baits, double a few inches of line about 30 to 40 feet up the fishing line and slide it through an egg sinker. Break a No. 64 rubber band and slip it through the loop of doubled line, and pull the line and rubber band halfway back into the sinker. The rubber band holds the sinker in place; under the pressure of a fish, the line pulls free and the weight drops off.
Pitch Baits
Conventional: composite stand-up, same as kite rods; spinning, 7-foot, same rods as flat-line rods.
7500- and 7000-class spinners
20-pound-test nylon monofilament
Double the fishing line, then Bristol-knot it to a 12- to 15-foot, 50-pound fluoro leader. Add hook with an Overhand Loop Knot.
In-line circle hook, size 4/0 to 7/0, to match bait.
While a livey is the standard pitch bait, a small, fresh ballyhoo allowed to sink slowly in free-spool works too. Add a strand of soft copper wire to the hook eye. Run the hook, point first, through the middle of the lower jaw, then wrap the hook shank and lower jaw with the wire. Drop down to 30-pound fluoro leader with small, fresh ballyhoo.

• Largemouth bass: Fair. Fish are in a typical winter pattern, and the bite should get better and better unless temperatures increase and disrupt things. Fishing grubs such as Yamamato single tail grubs behind a 1/4 or 3/16 ounce jighead around channel swings, points and at the mouths of creeks is producing, and on sunny days fish will move onto flats to feed. They will still stay near the creek channels, though. 20 feet of water is a good starting depth to target, but the key is finding the bait (schools of shad). Anglers are also having success throwing Alabama rigs in the same areas, and when water muddies up square-billed crankbaits, spinnerbaits and rattling baits are a good bet. As always in the winter on Lake Wylie fish can be caught near the lower and upper hot holes using a variety of shallow water techniques.

A diamond-shaped cabochon of Oregon-mined Owyhee sunset jasper provides the earthy backdrop for three bold stones of Kingman turquoise, Oregon's golden desert jasper and a genuine nugget of peridot from Arizona. The removable pendant comes with a bronze-toned leather cord, but will look just as stunning on a silver chain or beaded turquoise necklace. Try pairing it with the matching jasper earrings for a complete look. The pendant measures 1-3/8" long x 5/8" wide. The cord measures 17" long plus 4" extender and features a lobster claw clasp. Mined and made in America.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Bryce Harper capped his impressive season on Tuesday by being named National League Rookie of the Month for September.
It is the outfielder's second monthly award, with the other coming in May, making Harper the first Nationals rookie to earn multiple monthly awards in a single season.
Harper, 19, led the Majors with 26 runs in September, and ranked second in the NL in slugging percentage (.651) and total bases (69). His seven home runs and 35 September hits also led all NL rookies, while his .330 average ranked second.
He also had seven doubles, three triples and drove in 14 runs while stealing four bases.
Harper posted his second career multihomer game on Sept. 5 and knocked a career-high four hits on Sept. 11, one of 11 multihit games in September. He ended the month by hitting his 22nd homer, the second-highest single-season total in Major League history for a teenager.
Harper's 97 runs this season already rank as the most by a rookie in franchise history.

The only issue I have with the outdoor storage of my camper is there are times when it is extremely difficult to remove or park the unit due to limited access directly across from the camper that inhibits movement. Perhaps these types of trailers etc. should be given a separate section for storage that addresses this problem.Dora from Grove City, OH

CNHI News Service
SALEM, Mass. — What started out as a birthday joke for a 5-year-old boy turned into a visit from police, thanks to Facebook.
Police in this suburb north of Boston said they got an anonymous tip from someone who said she saw a video of a Facebook friend serving her 5-year-old son a special birthday smoothie. The mother "garnished the drink with a strawberry ... (and) told her son it was a cocktail to celebrate his birth," according to a police report.
Video of the celebration was seen by about 500 of the woman's Facebook friends, police said.
The tipster said she was worried that the mother was endangering her child by letting him drink alcohol. When police arrived at the woman's house, they learned that the drink was made with strawberries and ginger ale, and they found no evidence that the boy had been given alcohol.
Salem police warned the mother to be more careful about she posts on Facebook.
Details for this story were provided by The Salem News in Salem, Mass.

No decision yet following charged hearing to stall City College closure
At a Dec. 26 hearing in San Francisco Superior Court, the City Attorney's office argued that City College of San Francisco should not be shuttered, as long as San Francisco's lawsuit against a regional accrediting commission remains in court.
The two-year community college, which serves roughly 85,000 students, was notified earlier this year that the regional Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges would terminate its accreditation in July 2014, rendering the school's degrees worthless.
It would be forced to close.
In August, City Attorney Dennis Herrera filed suit against the ACCJC, alleging the closure action was improper, unwarranted, and out of line with the agency's prior actions.
At yesterday's court hearing, litigators from Herrera's office argued for a preliminary injunction against ACCJC, to keep the college open at least for the duration of the court proceedings.
Stop, halt, cease, desist. That was the City Attorney's goal yesterday: keep City College open until the case is decided.
While yesterday's hearing was focused on the injunction, the substance of Herrera's complaint against the ACCJC -- alleging that its members were acting improperly as advocates for greater austerity, among other things -- came into play many times.
The litigators argued from morning till late afternoon, taking only brief recesses. While Judge Curtis Karnow subjected viewpoints from both sides to microscopic examination, there was no decision by the end.
It's not yet known when Karnow will issue a ruling.
"Judge Karnow did not rule from the bench, he issued no tentative order, and he gave no indication of how he intends to rule before concluding today's hearing," City Attorney spokesperson Matt Dorsey noted in a statement following the hearing.
In the meantime, a few statements made in court could shed light onto the outcome. We've highlighted a few of them below, along with some key questions.
Attorneys Phillip Ward and Andrew Sclar represented the ACCJC, in opposition to Deputy City Attorney Sara Eisenberg and labor lawyer Robert Bezemek, who appeared on behalf of the California Federation of Teachers.
We thought we'd present the case a bit differently, and give background to some of the main arguments and then write the main arguments attorneys made to address them. Each argument is prefaced first, and links are provided for further reading:
1. Herrera's suit alleges that ACCJC commissioners acted improperly as advocates. That would mean they not only went beyond their role as objective accreditors, but sought to advance a political agenda against CCSF's inclusive approach to higher education. They address that here.
Judge Curtis Karnow: All of those expression of political views, if you will, by either the staff or the commission itself, are being cited as the "true agenda" that they're trying to unmask.
ACCJC counsel Philip Ward: There are problems, big problems, at City College of San Francisco.... all of those problems are the product of the so called "open access" mission and the new educational priorities that they're saying are being shoved down CCSF's throat.
Innuendo, character assassination … shows us that is what's being targeted by the plaintiffs allegations.
City College has been kicking the can down the road for six years.
2. Herrera's motion for an injunction argues that, even as the case is being decided, the school will suffer harm in the interim. How would this injunction soften the blow?
Judge Curtis Karnow: The real thrust of the motion seems to be that the uncertainty has generated behavior by faculty [and] students to depart, and this all stems from uncertainty harm.
When did this uncertainty harm start? How will the actions of this court affect anything? If there's another hearing in July, won't there be more uncertainty, even if I issue an injunction?
CFT counsel Robert Bezemek: Declarations filed show that there have already been instances that harm has already been felt.
For example, (City College's) radiology program is top in the nation above John Hopkins University. They've been given an execution date, everyone knows that. There's an order to remove the college's accreditation in July 31. When it got that order, students started to leave the college in droves.
Deputy City Attorney Sara Eisenberg: We're asking, your honor, right now for something that won't happen until further down the road... but there's real harm happening right now. Latest numbers show enrollment is down 27 percent.
3. Can the ACCJC base its decision to close City College on fiscal issues, rather than educational shortcomings?
CFT counsel Bezemek: We do not deny that they have financial issues... the quality of education is what they're here (the ACCJC) to measure. But you have to find that the harm from the financial issues warrants shutting the school down the only community college in San Francisco. That it is the fundamental part of accreditation.
Judge Karnow: So your position is that no matter what bad things the college has done, the commission can't withdraw its accreditation?
CFT counsel Bezemek: No, we're saying they have to show substantial evidence.
(The ACCJC's) 'internal review' is a joke. An injunction would provide huge relief.

4. Is it within the ACCJC's power to delay City College's closure?
Judge Karnow: What if we just dropped the process now?
ACCJC counsel Sclar: There certainly would be harm to us. If we do not enforce sanctions or bring a non compliant institution into compliance within a two year period, we would be at risk of losing our recognition with the United States Department of Education.
It's going to have a chilling effect on all accrediting agencies.
Judge Karnow: Is there any evidence of that in the record?
ACCJC counsel Sclar: No, there hasn't (been).
Deputy City Attorney Eisenberg: If the people aren't permitted to seek relief through an (injunctive) action, there's no other recourse.
The ACCJC has demonstrated a very cavalier attitude in this case. We're talking about closing the only community college in San Francisco. Many students don't have access to other colleges otherwise. The relief that we are asking for here is quite modest. It has been granted before... and it didn't do anything other than hit the pause button.
CCSF is a flawed, doomed entity.
institution know a report is coming and not bother to even start until after the due date?
sad and pathetic.
You'd think CCSF could at least summon the courage to die a dignified death.
When the jobs of the faculty is on the line, the AFT and the city will do anything to maintain the status quo.
schools which access federal dollars are meeting minimum standards. The Obama administration has been tightening these considerably recently to keep diploma mill schools from saddling their students with huge levels of debt without awarding valuable degrees. Standards are necessary for every organization - CCSF can't exist in a vacuum with no educational standards.
San Francisco City College is a very good school and should remain open for it's students, employees and the facility. The only reason they wish to close the school is so that the scum of the earth to reopen it under ownership by corporate vultures. The fact is all education should be free and open to anybody that wishes to better themselves and not held ransom by people that already have to much money then they know what to do with.
The mayor of San Francisco is a vulture and so is anybody that wishes to privatizes this school and they can all go to hell.
Dear Public,
I am a student of CCSF, and I have found remarkable inspiration there.
I am studying to be a teacher, Elementary school.
As an advocate for Equity in education, and equal access, I encourage all readers to put their best foot forward as we step into the Spring semester at City College of San Francisco. The American Public must realize, in order to keep Education accessible, we must declare our priorities clearly;
Take a class this Spring! Languages, Dance, Art, Ethnic Studies, Women's Studies, Queer Studies- the list goes on.
C.S. Daims
spring ritual more citizens should consider taking up. Nothing more fun than reading Foucault's theories on fisting and Shulamith Firestone's dreams of artificial steel wombs to get you in the mood for rebirth.
The Sokal affair, also known as the Sokal hoax,[1] was a publishing hoax perpetrated by Alan Sokal, a physics professor at New York University. In 1996, Sokal submitted an article to Social Text, an academic journal of postmodern cultural studies. The submission was an experiment to test the journal's intellectual rigor and, specifically, to investigate whether "a leading North American journal of cultural studies – whose editorial collective includes such luminaries as Fredric Jameson and Andrew Ross – [would] publish an article liberally salted with nonsense if (a) it sounded good and (b) it flattered the editors' ideological preconceptions".[2]
City College offers classes in real world subjects.
It is terrible that it will lose it's accreditation due to terrible progressive management, that it offers classes to people so stupid that they take ethnic studies is a problem not a solution.
value of queer, gender and wimmin's studies than give in to the demands of neo-liberal capitalists who hate the social sciences. Progressives are determined to turn CCSF into the left's version of Masada - they may get their wish.
They could start by losing the faux spellings of "wimmin" and "grrlz". That is 6th grade nonsense.
One of the biggest lies that the Right propagates is that their agenda of austerity and privatization is somehow "non-political." The reality is that it's all about priorities, and their priority is to concentrate wealth. That is a vicious, brutal political agenda which does violence to people.
We want to close it is because it is a failed entity, and most of that is due to it's politicization.
(Not that concentrated wealth is a bad thing anyway, if that reflects differential rates of wealth creation, but that's another issue).
They see a lot of money to be made for rich people by privatizing it. Doesn't matter to them that ordinary working class people will be deprived of a decent education, thereby impoverishing them further.
because much of it is not viable at all, and would be closed down. There are probably a few assets that can be run viably but the core entity is flawed.
At minimum you'd have to fire all the current staff, ban unions, sell many of the buildings and then restrict the enterprise to a few vocational classes that can justify themselves.
CCSF is too riddled with disease for anything less than radical surgery to work.
These guys aren't stupid. There will be plenty of money for cronies connected to the commission. Real estate speculators will make money on the sale of our public assets. Private corporations are salivating at the prospect of charging vast sums of money for tuition, making money off working class students. And a few people with experience in "business" will get plum administrator positions to the tune of several hundred thousand apiece.
admission do not have a lot of money in the first place?
The city would gain, however, by selling off under-performing assets at a more fully valued amount.
Private or public - it doesn't matter. Invest in your winners and cut your losers loose. CCSF is a loser.
Fortunes have been made by the rich robbing the poor since the dawn of the ages. It's the very foundation of capitalism.
More so than usual.
Do you have any proof of this massive conspiracy, or is this one those faith things we hear so much about?
If the previous game is too adventurous for you, simply try flapping a blanket in the air above your ferret as if
you were fluttering a bed sheet over a mattress.
Not only that, but what happens is what is supposed to
happen for that ferret. If your ferret seems afraid, try using
the tub method described previously.
The people who are behind closing the place are about the fiscal mismanagement, not some conspiracy to get rid of classes where the only wrong answer is not agreeing the the person standing in front of the class.
That's why they appointed an administrator whose pay rivals that of some Fortune 500 CEOs. Good fiscal sense, that. Actually that was one of their main complaints -too much money spent on classes and professors, and not enough on administrators... because everyone knows that more bureaucrats is the key to good fiscal management.
You crack me up, Matlock. The cognitive dissonance that you require should have torn your brain asunder a long time ago.
Usually, you don't have any when making such claims.
The accreditation committee is riddled with conflicts of interest. All the solutions they propose seem to benefit rich investors who want to make money off the privatization of public education. You say it's all just one big coincidence, so where's your evidence for that?
that there is some dark, weird conspiracy. He's just saying "shit happens", which of course we all know does happen.
If you have zero evidence for your fanciful claim, why not just admit it and say so instead of trying to dodge?
The conflicts of interest I'm talking about are well documented. It seems that whenever the rich come up with "solutions" to problems of the poor and working class, those solutions always seem to favor... well, the rich!
Oh, what a coincidence! To say that it's a big grand coincidence is *not* some "fanciful claim," but to question that maybe there might be an element of purpose to all these "happy coincidences" is. Interesting how the mind of a coincidence theorist works.
What that really means is that you cannot prove it.
We're asking you to prove an affirmative, which should be possible if it is true.
You are responding by asking us to prove a negative, which you know isn't possible.
Cheap transparent trick by someone who knows he has been caught out making a baseless claim.
If you had any prove, you would provide it to save face.
The reason people like Greg think everything is a conspiracy is because they think in terms of conspiracy.
If Greg came to power he would actually conspire, if he had the power he would be making secret deals, so he thinks everyone thinks that way.
In the real world, a conspiracy to close city college, sell off it's assets and build condo's would be massive, it would have to include so many people that it would be impossible to get to step two. None of the them would agree on the master plan and the chance that someone would rat them out pretty likely.
It's just easier to jabber on about class and "thats what 'they' want us to think" type business than to look at the real world.
I stumbled upon your article and I find them interesting. This subject has many information that would be in great use for my colleagues.
If you follow the 4 questions of this reporting, read and apply reasoning, it seems to point to no injunction.
1. CCSF shot the messenger. "City College has been kicking the can down the road for six years." The impending lawsuit will show if true or not.
2. The harm to CCSF is "uncertainty harm". Issuing an injunction can actually cause more uncertainty (more harm).
3. ACCJC can withdraw its accreditation if there were evidence of financial mismanagement. There were.
4. Who will suffer more harm if judge did not rule the in the party's favor ? About the same. Not much. Students were given one year's notice to transfer to a different school.

Erika Harold is a Harvard educated lawyer, a former Miss America, and a conservative Republican who's now running for Congress.
Her beauty queen credentials have gotten her lots of attention, but an email that surfaced today could get her a lot more.
Harold is running against incumbent Rodney Davis in a primary next March. Since she is bi-racial, GOP activist Doug Ibendahl wrote that she'd be good for the party.
"Just be a great face for the Republican party," Ibendahl wrote. "We could actually do, in Illinois, we could do more than talk about diversity. We could actually promote it."
But last night, Ibendahl received an email from Jim Allen, the chairman of the Montgomery County Republican party, south of Springfield. Allen is backing Rodney Davis and he wrote that Harold is being "used like a street walker," that she's "the love child" of the Democrats, and that someday she'll be "working for some law firm that needs to meet their quota for minority hires." Ibendahl says Allen ought to resign his party chairmanship.
"This is bad for the Republican party," Ibendahl says. "This stay in the back of the bus mentality is exactly why the Republican Party keeps losing in Illinois"
Congressman Davis' office put out a statement saying, "Mr. Allen's comments are misguided and wrong and certainly do not reflect the views of Congressman Davis or his campaign."
Allen did not return our calls or emails, and neither did Erika Harold. FOX 32 News also learned that Allen works for the state as a warehouse worker for Secretary of State Jesse White. A spokesman for White called the email "despicable" but said Allen could not be fired because he sent the email on his own time.

Supporting Local Communities
All our properties in the U.S. are rooted in local communities and play an active role in local community life. We intend to be a part of local communities for the long term and know that our fate is intertwined with our local environment. Every time we open a new property, we look for opportunities to use our passion, skills and resources to help make life in that community better.
The positive economic contribution we make through the taxes we pay, the jobs we create and the suppliers we engage has a ripple effect in local communities. As we grow, this economic contribution gets more significant, touching the lives of many people in many communities. Our contribution to helping communities become more vibrant and resilient is enhanced by the work we do at the Caesars Foundation. Caesars Foundation benefits underserved populations, and helps older individuals live longer, healthier, more fulfilling lives. We provide support for environmental sustainability initiatives in towns and cities, and invest in initiatives to improve the quality of life in many ways.

Itachi is the infamous brother of uchiha sasuke. Itachi murdered his entire clan just to test his power. Guy, Rock Lee's sensei was the one person to adapt a fighting technique to counter Itachi's powerful genjitsu. He learned to fight an opponent by watching his feet. This way, he wouldn't have to look into the eyes and thus being immune to eye techniques. Itachi has since learned to counter this strategy as well.

I was impressed with the manager and the cleanliness of the property. I was also contacted when I incorrectly locked my unit ultimately leaving it unlocked. I thought that was amazing that they check on these things. Also very glad there is security. It's a little out of my way, but worth the extra drive for a place so professionally maintained. Also impressed with fact that someone lives on site and can keep an eye on things even after hours.Laura from Largo, FL

The women I spoke to on the phone to check for availabilty was great and helpful. The gentlemen at the office seems a little displeased that I had arrived 20 minutes till close with a reservation. Unfortunately a personal issue came about and I needed a unit asap and the last thing I expected was to feel as though I was annoying the staff because of walking into the office shortly before the office closed. I would like to add that the staff was still able to make it out the door as scheduled closed.Nicole from Seminole, FL

"We Who Believe In Freedom:" 50 Years After Freedom Summer and the Civil Rights Act
Basic Black
June 6, 2014
Fifty years ago this summer, the modern civil rights movement was front and center on the nation's headlines, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law and Freedom Summer was in full swing in Mississippi. But the struggle for racial equality, by law and in the voting booth, was from over and activists persisted in the fight often against systematic violent attacks including beating, arson, and murder. This week on Basic Black we acknowledge the 50th anniversary of the pivotal events of that summer and examine its impact on contemporary movements for racial, social and economic quality.

And for communities historically battered by gun violence, the conversation takes on an increased intensity.

Kent State lefty Chafin rounds out D-backs' day
Arizona sticks with pitching theme for 43rd overall pick in '11 Draft
PHOENIX -- With their third pick on Day 1 of the 2011 First-Year Player Draft, the D-backs selected Kent State left-hander Andrew Chafin.
Chafin was the 43rd player taken overall, a compensation pick for the loss of free-agent first baseman Adam LaRoche.
After missing all of 2010 following Tommy John surgery, Chafin was 7-1 with a 1.90 ERA and 97 strikeouts this year.
The 20-year-old has an above average fastball that reaches 94 mph and sits at 91-92 with a lot of movement. He also throws a curve and a slider, with the curve being his out pitch.
Chafin, who is listed at 6-foot-2 and 205 pounds, also has a changeup.
The D-backs also took pitchers with their two first-round picks, nabbing UCLA right-hander Trevor Bauer and Oklahoma prep righty Archie Bradley.
"You can never have enough pitching," D-backs general manager Kevin Towers said.

Note: Gary Bettman Made A Proposal To Save An 82 Game Season
Elliotte Friedman tweets
- Bettman says 82 game season could be saved if start by Nov. 2, so he made an offer he calls "best shot" to do that.
- "We offered at 50/50 share" and "we believed we addressed concern" players have about their salaries
- He understands players will need time to review it
- Bettman: it is an offer of 50/50 across the board
Pierre LeBrun tweets "Bettman says offer contingent on having 82-game season which would begin Nov 2. Says league offered 50/50 share of HRR"
Chris Johnston tweets:
- "Gary Bettman on NHL's offer: "It was done in the spirit of getting a deal done."'
- "Gary Bettman says compressed 82-game schedule starting Nov. 2 would see every team play an extra game every five weeks."
Katie Strang tweets "If league offered 50/50 split, should be interesting to see how that is reconciled with escrow. Contracting system still huge as well"
Other big question is contracting rules. Did the NHL bend at all on contract lengths, arbitration rights and free agency eligibility?—

By Sherris Moreira-Byers
CNHI News Service
HERMITAGE, Pa. — There are days when Sharon George gets tired, and like anyone who works full-time and runs a household, gets a little overwhelmed.
But all the Jefferson Township, Pa., woman has to do is look to her past and find strength in her family legacy. After all, her great-grandmother survived the sinking of the Titanic.
"She is, to me, the most fascinating person in my family, which is an interesting comment because I never actually met her," said the 49-year-old, referring to Shanini George Wahabe, who passed away in 1947. "Hearing about her and reading about her and listening to my relatives talk about her, I feel some kind of connection to her … She was the matriarch of the family and was loved by everyone. I know you have a tendency to put your deceased on a pedestal, but she represents what is the very best of the George family."
After listening to family stories about Shanini surviving the Titanic tragedy, Sharon and her cousin Shayen George of Hubbard, Ohio, began doing research into the history of this great-grandmother that neither had ever actually met. And what Sharon began to discover was the story of a woman who not only typified the American dream, but was a spiritual role model as well.
"Her personality was incredibly strong, but she was also very soft and mild and non-confrontational," Sharon said. "She was very sentimental and affectionate. She had this profound sense of caring for others that was amazing, yet she was probably stronger than any one of us."
"She was also profoundly saddened by the fact that all these other people lost their loved ones," Sharon added, referring to her great-grandmother's passage on the R.M.S. Titanic.
Shanini's journey from Lebanon to America began after her marriage to George Joseph Wahabe. After having five children, she decided, against her husband's wishes, to come to America in 1906 to earn enough money to buy some land for her family and build a house in Lebanon.
"She got on a ship by herself, going to a country where she did not speak the language and where immigrants were not treated well, and once there, got a job, made some money going from door to door washing people's clothes," Sharon said.
But after two years of working in America, Shanini got word that her husband had died. That was in 1908, and by 1910, Shanini managed to get four of her five children – Joseph, Thomas, Rose and Mary – into America, settling in Youngstown, Ohio. The fifth child -- Sharon's grandfather, Albert -- remained in Lebanon to maintain the family home. He was around 11 or 12 at the time.
In 1910, she sent sons Joseph and Thomas back to Lebanon in hopes of improving Thomas' health, but by early 1911, he was getting worse. So she left her daughters in the care of an orphanage to go back to Lebanon to be with him.
"It took Shanini a month to get to Lebanon, and by the time she got there, Thomas had died just days before," Sharon said. "She never really emotionally recovered from his death. Then she needed to work in Lebanon to earn enough money for her passage back to the U.S. as well as get things in order."
By the time she did, about a year later, it was the spring of 1912, and she booked passage on the R.M.S. Titanic.
"Her ticket was approximately four pounds and four shillings, around $30 dollars in those days and about $350 in today's money," said Sharon. "To compare, Molly Brown had the cheapest first class ticket at around (the equivalent of) $1,500. The average first class person spent (the equivalent of) $3,000 on a ticket."
Shanini was traveling back with three adult male cousins and a 14-year-old niece of one of the men. They joined a group of about 165 Lebanese immigrants rooming near each other and apparently enjoyed themselves immensely, Sharon said. Then the evening of April 14, 1912, approached. According to historical records, the Titanic hit the infamous iceberg around 11:40 p.m. It sank less than three hours later.
"Shanini did not even know what was going on," Sharon said. "She did not speak English very well at that point."
Sharon explained that her great-grandmother didn't even know what happened until "late in the game. By the time they got to third class, there was sheer chaos." Despite that, it was the first-class male passengers who went down into steerage and pushed and pulled Shanini and other steerage passengers to the upper decks.
According to a 1937 Herald article, Shanini described her rescuers as "very finely dressed in their beautiful suits."
"The first class passengers had this sense of honor and chivalry," Sharon said. "Even though they were very class conscious, they not only stood aside, but they actively participated in saving the life of my great-grandmother."
Though Sharon doesn't have concrete evidence since the ship's chaos that night undermined any kind of tracking system of survivors, especially those from steerage, circumstantial evidence points to Shanini's sharing collapsible Lifeboat C with J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the White Star Line, which operated the Titanic.
"She gives us some clues," said Sharon, referring to Shanini's documented recollection of that night. According to historical research,Llifeboat C was being loaded with passengers when full-scale chaos broke out on the deck and an officer had to fire a gun to keep men from rushing the lifeboat. Shanini recalled that event and also recalled that a man jumped from the deck onto the lifeboat after it had been loaded and the officers were walking away.
"They shielded him with their night clothes so that the sailors wouldn't see him," Sharon said. "If they had, they would have shot him."
Because their lifeboat was one of the last to leave the ship, they were only half a mile away when Titanic sank beneath the icy water around 2:20 a.m. This meant they were one of the closest lifeboats to the Titanic and could hear the screaming of those left behind.
After her rescue, Shanini was reunited with her two daughters at a train station in Youngstown.
Shanini didn't dwell on her Titanic experience, except for filing a $150 claim for her lost luggage. She resumed her laundry washing and eventually earned enough money to bring Joseph, then Albert, to the United States, said Sharon.
Still, within a year of the ship's sinking, 38-year-old Shanini's beautiful black hair turned completely white. She would also have nightmares to the end of her life and wake up saying she could hear the ship sinking and the screams of those left behind.
She went on to work for the family's ice cream cone company, which still exists today. Sharon is now the director of quality control at Joy Cone Co. in Hermitage, Pa.
"Without her, I probably wouldn't be sitting here talking to you," she said. "If she had not made it on the Titanic, my aunts would have been adopted out, and my grandfather probably would never have made it to America. Without her there would be nothing. It's an honor for all of us that we have a biological piece of her; that part of her blood is in our blood."
