Notes From the Shadows of Cooperstown: So Much to Read, So Little Time
May 17, 2009 by Gene Carney · Leave a Comment
Last issue, I mentioned that I ran across something from the White Sox bat boy in 1919. Since then, believe it or not, I found an interview of sorts with the assistant bat boy.
In 1962, Father Kenney, a priest, ran into Henry McLemore, a reporter whose column ran in papers like the Idaho Falls Post Register, and you can look up the whole story in the August 14, 1962, issue. Just 12 in 1919, Father Kenney was born and raised a few blocks from Comiskey Park. According to McLemore, Fr K was one of the boys who, when the fix was exposed, is said to have cried to Jackson when he left the park, "Say it ain't so, Joe!†— James T. Farrell recalled it this way, too, but without the "Say.†"It was as if all my patron saints had left me,†said the priest in 1962. "I didn't walk in a ball park for eight years, and neither did hundreds of other Southside Chicago boys.â€
Oddly enough, Fr Kenney is not the only Catholic priest to appear in this issue, as you'll soon see.
Much of this issue comes out of my computer, which is tuned in a lot these days to old newspapers. Which I enjoy a lot more than television. Mining, fishing, beating the bushes, it is even fun when I re-read an article but spot something new. For example, in Notes #377 I reported a nugget from a Dunkirk, NY, paper in 1932, in which Shoeless Joe Jackson says that he "asked to be suspended before the world series of 1919. I didn't want to play after I heard what was going on. But I had to play. And I did play.†Then the usual "look at the record†and so forth.
Well, that interview — by William Braucher, NEA Services Sports Writer — also appeared in the Piqua Daily Call (Ohio), the Frederick News-Post (MD), the Syracuse Herald (NY), and in the Waterloo Daily Courier. The headlines are different in each, and the length varies, too. In that last version, from Iowa, the headline reads Twelve Years After — Joe Jackson, Savannah Pants Presser, Takes Time Out from Healthy Business to Reminisce Just a Little. All the others headlines are considerably shorter. The Iowa article also has an anecdote that may be new to you, as it was to me. Jackson recalled how Eddie Collins was "the smartest man on the field†and often "did our thinking for us.â€
Once he told me to play over on the left field line for Babe Ruth, I asked him why. I could move 10 feet, you know, after a ball and I couldn't figure why Eddie wanted me to go over so far. But Eddie said Babe was going to hit over third base that day, and he wanted me to be all set. I stood almost on the foul line. Babe hit a smash right into my hands that would have busted up the ball game.
So if Jackson was playing out of position in the WS of 1919 (and I don't think he was), was it his fault, or his manager's, or McMullin's (he scouted the Reds) — or Captain Eddie's?
Anyway, although this is a longish issue, I had a lot of fun putting it together, and I hope you all find it fun to read.
EIGHTEEN MEN OUT — A POSTSCRIPT
Last issue, I wrote about the "Cobb strike game†of May 18, 1912. It included this paragraph:
A poor lad named Al Travers pitched the entire game, yielding 26 hits (although both box scores I found said 25), and giving him what turned out to be a lifetime ERA of 15.75; he walked seven and fanned one. Oh well, at least he could point to the CG and that one K.
Thanks to Gary Livacari, I can now tell you the rest of the story.
Al Travers was one of the young men recruited from nearby St Joseph's College in Philadelphia. He was a 20-year-old junior with little baseball experience. Travers was found by Detroit manager Hughie Jennings with the assistance of a sportswriter from the Philadelphia Bulletin, Joe Nolan. Nolan knew Travers, the college team's assistant manager, and apparently Travers was contacted first, and asked to find ten or twelve others. Nolan told them that they would not be expected to play the game, only to take the field — and that, only if the Detroit players went through with their threatened strike.
Travers found eight volunteers: Dan McGarvey, 25, and Jim McGarr, 24, were teammates at Georgetown College. Pat Meaney, 20; Jack Smith, 19; Hap Ward, 20; Ed Irvin, 20; and Bill Leinhauser, 19, were apparently from St Joe's. Billy Maharg, 29, and Leinhauser were both amateur boxers, Leinhauser being more noted. What this group had in common was a need for $25, not bad pay for a couple hours of hanging around.
When umpire Bill Dineen called out "Play ball!,†the Detroit regulars took the field, while the recruits stayed in the bleachers. Ty Cobb trotted out to centerfield, but umpire Ed Perrine waved him off. Nice try, Peach. As Cobb walked off the diamond, his teammates followed him. Back in the Shibe Park clubhouse, they removed their uniforms. Jennings waved to the recruits, and they poured into the clubhouse, donning uniforms and hastily signing one-day contracts.
Twenty thousand fans were waiting to see what would happen next. Connie Mack, the A's manager and team owner, certainly did not want to lose the revenue, and insisted that the game go on. This stunned Jennings, and must have shocked the recruits. They were being fed to the Lions. Jennings put his coaches, Jim McGuire and Joe Sugden, behind the plate and at first base, respectively. Jennings offered Travers an extra $25 if he would pitch. He later confessed that he had never pitched before.
He was not even a natural athlete. He played the violin and did some acting, and now he was cast as The Pitcher. As the baseball team's assistant manager, his duties were writing up summaries for the school yearbook.
The outcome was a 24-2 rout, and given the circumstances, it is a wonder that the score was not worse. Travers walked seven, and I have to believe the umpire was generous with his strike calls. Ed Irwin actually went 2-for-3, giving him a lifetime batting average of .667, higher than his fielding average of .500. Some fans did ask for a refund and left early. But no one disrupted the game.
Detroit was not scheduled to play the next day (Never on Sunday was still the rule in some cities). Ban Johnson cancelled their Monday game, to avoid another travesty. Then he told the striking players that if they failed to take the field again, their careers were over. Ty Cobb urged them to play, and they did. Johnson reduced Cobb's indefinite suspension to ten days, starting with May 16, the day after his mugging of the fan.
Al Travers graduated from St Joe's in 1913 and entered the Jesuits. He was ordained as a Catholic priest in 1926. He taught some high school in Manhattan, then returned to St Joe's, where he taught Spanish and religion for 25 years, until his death in 1968. He never talked much about his day as a major leaguer, but once was interviewed about it by Red Smith.
He told Smith how he rounded up a bunch of fellows who were standing around the corner of 23rd and Columbia. Travers said that he threw the A's a steady diet of slow curves, no fast balls. Like many pitchers, he complained that he just didn't get any support.
Gary's article includes a photo of Father Al Travers. He is probably in his 70s. He's holding a baseball, and smiling.
To read Gary's full article:
I've only been in Philadelphia a few times. The first, in 1962, was for the Pennsylvania State Championship basketball game, Class A Catholic schools. I was a sophomore at North Catholic on Pittsburgh's Troy Hill, and more than five busloads of kids made the trip. We won, finishing the season 26-5. The game was played at St Joseph's College. If I was Rod Serling, I would now tell you that I sat beside a Father Al, who asked me if I liked baseball. That didn't happen.
I had no idea that I was anywhere near Connie Mack Stadium, which is the name Shibe Park went by from 1953-1970. What I remember, besides the game (now a blur), is hopping on a train that took us under a river, I think, to downtown Philly, where I caught a glimpse of the Liberty Bell (it was all that it was cracked up to be — sorry, I couldn't resist), and was dazzled by being able to purchase food in something called an Automat. It must have been awful, but hey, it was a taste of the future.

Last week I had a layover in Phoenix on my way to Vegas. I was starving and passed by a fast food place that had an advertisement for chili. I wanted the chili. I needed the chili. But I couldn't miss my flight, so I by passed the chili and headed for my gate. Since then, I've been craving chili.
Also, today it was rather cool outside, and I was feeling down and needed comfort food, so it was prime time for chili. It made the whole house smell yummy.
The following recipe makes an enormous pot of chili. We made a huge batch and froze about half of it. If you don't have a large enough pot (or freezer, or appetite) you can very easily cut the recipe in half.
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 onions, diced
- 4 cloves of garlic, diced
- 2 pounds hot Italian sausage, casings removed
- 2 pounds (grass fed) ground beef
- 2 jalapenos, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 quarts of diced tomatoes with their juices
- 2 – 15 oz cans of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 – 15 oz cans of kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- Salt and pepper
- 2 whole dried chiles (we use chiles de arbol)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce (we use Cholula brand chipotle hot sauce)
- Grated cheddar cheese (optional)
- Sour cream (optional)
- Corn bread (optional)
- Tortilla chips (optional)
- Heat the olive oil over medium high flame in a very large dutch oven.
- Add the onions and garlic and cook until soft.
- Add the sausage and use a meat beater or other kitchen utensil (such as a sturdy spoon) to break the sausage into small pieces. Cook until sausage is almost cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Add the beef, break up using a kitchen utensil, and cook until almost, cooked through, about 4 minutes.
- Add jalapenos and bell pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Add tomatoes, black beans and kidney beans and mix well to combine.
- Season with chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper, and bring pot to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium low, add tomato paste and simmer for about 1 hour, stirring frequently. About 10 minutes before serving, add hot sauce and stir well.
- Serve with grated cheese, sour cream, corn bread and/or tortilla chips.
- We used grass fed beef, which is very lean and has great flavor. I highly recommend that you use grass fed ground beef if possible, but if not, lean ground beef (90/10) will work fine. The sausage releases a lot of fat and oil, so I do recommend using lean ground beef so that your chili isn't swimming in grease.

Coordinated Hacker Attack!
Concerns about befriending hackers have been common since the early days of social networking. Now that so many people have Facebook accounts, the dear spreads even more aggressively. Here's the latest inflammatory wall post:
THIS IS EXTREMELY URGENT!!!!I need to inform you of a team
…of hackers.They intend to pull off a synchronised hack on a date and
time of which I do not know.-The profile picture will be black &
White.-There won't be a real picture of themselves in their
photos.-There will be less than 400 friends as the plan was a recent
one.If you have themREMOVE AND BLOCK THEM!!!
How do I know that this is BS?
First, it's just a matter of being around for a long time. This sounds like crap because it matches so much of the other crap that I've seen in recent years.
Second, the poster gives himself away by claiming to have some knowledge but remaining completely ignorant of important details. Let's put it this way: if you were privy to a plot orchestrated by fewer than 400 people, don't you think that you would know what kind of hack and when it would occur? You know what it sounds like? It sounds like someone heard something that someone told someone who overhead that…
Now, I suppose it's possible that such an attack could be coordinated. Perhaps I'm wrong here. I doubt it, but it's possible.
Even if the attack is true, though, there isn't really that much to worry about. The most likely attack that hackers could conduct over Facebook would be clickjacking links. This process has become more popular recently. It has even earned the Facebook-specific name "likejacking."
Such an attack would require Facebook users to follow a bogus link that contains a virus. But here's the thing, you HAVE to follow the link. It's up to you to execute the attack.
Here's another reason not to freak out over this particular post: most likejacks are conducted by hackers who have gained access to someone else's account. They don't use their own Fb accounts. They steal those from other people. The real concern isn't some guy who's stupidly trying to lure desperate people with a fake profile, but hackers who hijack the pages of the people you trust. That's what usually happens and that's what causes the most damage.

From the US National Archives we have her passport issued for the 16 week trip she took in 1890 with some Fall River girls from "up on the Hill", including her cousin Anna Borden who testified at her Trial. Thomas J. Borden, who signed the document, was Anna's father.
Called "The Grand Tour" young ladies of the Victorian era made the crossing with a chaperone, of course. Traveling to Italy and Scotland, among other countries, Lizzie seemed to have loved Scotland quite a bit. She made a detailed scrapbook of her journey and partial pages can be found the Parallel Lives – A Social History of Lizzie A. Borden and Her Fall River, written by Michael Martins and Dennis Binette of the Fall River Historical Society.
Lizzie's father paid for her trip, but she had to wire home for her return passage and it was her sister, Emma, who sent the money. I've posted here about that before as it was cited in a local newspaper.
Apparently, William Benedict, who issued the passport, was of the opinion Lizzie had "light brown hair." Others (including her female associates) had often described her hair as "auburn". But we know how men can be about such details. Harumph.

We are seeing a lot of businesses remove the confederate flag from anything and everything, wherever they find it. Apple (cited below) is removing the flag from games involving the civil war. I think this is a dangerous slippery slope. This movement to strike the confederate flag from the record and label anyone who possesses it as a racist bigot is dangerous. This same method of thinking could easily be applied to FDR; who put Japanese people into internment camps during World War II. Does that mean that we should strike him and everything he has done from the record of the past too? Does that mean that we stop selling anything with an image of FDR on it? Of course not!
My Take on the Confederate Flag Controversy
An older article wrote years ago that I published here since I believe the concept is still relevant.
It appears to me that there are 2 clear sides. On the political left the flag itself is racist and anyone that flies it or possesses it is a bigot. On the right, it's a piece of American history and it should be flown so that we remember how far we have come as a country, and as a union.
My position is that a state government building should not be flying the flag of a nonexistent country; it just doesn't make much sense to me. As far as the flag as a piece of history I believe it is significant. I do not believe that the civil war was fought ONLY over slavery and racism. The civil war was fought because the southern states were far less well off than those in the north and felt disenfranchised when it came to manufacturing and technical innovation of the time. The other issues (slavery included) were military protection of the south, states' rights, and Lincolns election.
A person flying the confederate flag is not a bigot, a person flying the original flag of the United States (when slavery was legal) is not a bigot. A flag does not identify the thoughts and beliefs that exist inside ones heart and mind. This flag, like many others is a symbol of history, and history is not to be forgotten. Look at the flag of the confederacy and be proud of how far the USA has come, and remember all of the other reasons for the southern states' secession but never eliminate it from the record.

Just been to the dentist with my 2 1/2 year old. He has had health issues since he was born needing medication which has weakened his enamel. I have also allowed him to have formula in his bottle at bed time which has caused decay. He needs two fillings in his back molars. Due to his age he will have to have it done via general in hospital.
Has anyone else had experience with this? I feel so bad I feel like crying and I am dreading telling my husband.

Bad mother - 2 1/2 year old needs fillings
13-06-2016 16:52 #2
You aren't a bad mum at all. I didn't take my kids to the dentist for the first time until they started school and they needed fillings and teeth removed. Needless to say I was feeling like a bad mother myself but like the dentist told me at the time at least you brought them and are having things done now. I can tell you that most mums including myself are guilty of giving our babies a bottle of formula before bed. Don't be too hard on yourself.

My 7 year old has to have some of her adult teeth pulled. She had extensive antibiotics as an infant and they destroyed her adult teeth development and some of her teeth are coming through with no enamel.
These things happen. It doesn't make you a bad mum. Most people don't take their kids to the dentist until they are in school so you are doing the correct thing.

Don't feel so bad. Whilst you may have left it a little late taking your little one to the dentist it is done now, he will have his fillings and you will now take him for regular checkups. Don't beat yourself up.
Brushing when those first teeth came through was always what I followed with my 3 and getting them to brush twice a day started early. I think my children have had their fair share of antibiotics when young especially ds2 and sometimes went to bed with a bottle too but brush, brush, brush was the upmost importance. They also all started going to the dentist every year once they turned 2. The oldest 2 just had a scale and clean. No cavities. They have limited sugar though. Ds1 hasn't lost many baby teeth and his 2 big front teeth are through first and he is 8 so he needs an xray to see where his bigger teeth are sitting so there could be issues there yet.
And there are treatments for weakened enamel op.

Honestly I don't think 2 and a half is late AT ALL. I have 4 kids and my nearly 3 year old has only had a ride in the chair and a bit of a poke by our dentist. They don't even seriously look at them until they are 3 and older unless there are reasons why they need it.
It's hard not to be hard on yourself. One of mine has dreadful teeth and eats perfectly and the rest eat c---p and their teeth are perfect.
So much is genetic. Brushing and hygiene are important but sometimes it still happens.

Thanks for the messages. This wasn't his first visit , I took him quite early because the doctor suggested he may have issues and yes we always brush. I did ask about the enamel and they said there is nothing they can do at this early age. Thanks again for the responses

Don't feel bad about it, this is something completely out of your control. My daughters little best friend has had so many teeth either fall out, break or needed fillings/caps due to strong medication she was on. Unfortunately nothing that can be prevented.

Does he have molar hypomin by chance (hypomineralisation)? DS1 was diagnosed with this recently aged 4 and I had him to the dentist at 2, they did warn he had it then but basically said there wasn't anything that could be done about it, they don't know the cause it's possibly genetic or may be linked to high fevers in infancy - they are still researching what the cause is.
We were shocked and devastated as we have always been anal with teeth cleaning, he has an extremely healthy diet, doesn't have juice or soft drink etc. But they assured us it wasn't our doing. Whilst I was annoyed they took the 'wait and see' approach rather than offering any treatment etc, by the time they decided to treat DS1 was old enough to have his filled in the chair - however this was after a 2nd opinion, the first dentist wanted him to go under GA but I wasn't comfortable with that.
I can understand why they would go under at such a young age, it would be near impossible to do it in the chair. And whilst my sons was not as bad at that age, it did degrade rapidly - so if your DS already has severe damage they would need to get onto it now to risk further damage.
I am sorry you have to go through this - please don't blame yourself you are not a bad mother, it's bad luck that is all. And you're in fact a great mother for getting it looked at now!

My DS who has special needs, a rare genetic disorder had to have a lot of teeth removed in hospital under general and he's 3. It's a nightmare trying to brush his teeth, the ones he's got left are still hard to brush as he needs pinning down and 2 people to do it, he's quite strong and gets quite frustrated and aggressive. I understand you and you shouldn't feel bad, these things happen. I was upset also when it happened earlier this year but it's the way it is. It's still a struggle brushing his teeth and sometimes I give up so don't feel too bad.

Joseph Brence, PT, DPT, FAAOMPT, COMT, DAC authored a great posting on the APTA website MoveForwardPT.com about pain. As I have stated on my website, there are many misconceptions about pain and Joseph does a great job of laying 9 of them out here.
Two that I find extremely important are the psychological aspect of pain and how much understanding your pain helps.
This is something of which everyone should read and be aware.

What do you know about the varying types of dentures? Most people recognize the traditional removable denture, yet don't know much else about this tooth replacement option. To explain which dentures people commonly choose, your Downey, CA dentist provides this post.
A Variety of Dentures to Choose From
- Full dentures. The traditional full denture is the type of tooth replacement that many people who have suffered with complete tooth loss usually choose. Since they're affordable and relatively easy to maintain, full dentures prove quite popular. Additionally, these pieces have been custom-made to fit your mouth and require daily removal.
- Partial dentures. This denture type has three main subcategories: removable, fixed, and implant-supported. The removable partial denture is the standard partial denture, which is anchored in place with metal or rubber clasps. It's inserted during the day and removed at bedtime to allow for an overnight soak.
A fixed partial denture is also called a dental bridge. Rather than using anchoring clasps, the bridge is rooted in place with two bordering crowns bonded atop of healthy teeth.
The implant-supported partial is similar to fixed partialdentures, however, the false teeth sit on an implant, which serves as a replacement tooth root. The implant allows the jaw bone to remain stimulated and deters future tooth loss from occurring.
- Implant-supported dentures. Much like implant-supported partials, an implant-supported full denture is also available. Rather than using two implants, your Downey, CA dentist places four or five implants on either jaw. Then, a ball-retained or bar-retained full denture is placed, after the appropriate healing periods have ended.
Downey Family Dentistry Can Restore Your Smile with Dentures
If you've endured tooth loss and would like to have dentures serve as your tooth replacement option, talk to Dr. Hakimzadeh. He can complete an evaluation of your oral cavity and determine which denture type would work best for you. To schedule an appointment with our Downey, CA dental practice, call us at (562) 472-2433. Also, visit our website for services, testimonials, and to learn more about our team. We proudly treat patients from Workman, Hollydale, Norwalk, Santa Fe Springs, Bell Gardens, Cudahy, and surrounding cities.

Allotments: making room to grow
RICHMOND Council is considering measures to improve its allotment service and meet the growing demand for plots.
It will also be considering measures to ensure that people who hold allotments make reasonable use of them, as neglected plots would be welcomed by other residents who will appreciate and look after them properly. Cllr Jeremy Elloy, chairman of the Council's overview and scrutiny committee, which will discuss a draft strategy for running allotments, on Wednesday 23 September, said:
"Allotments in Richmond upon Thames are hugely popular and as such we have waiting lists of residents who would love to have one. While most people who have plots take great care and make fantastic use of them, there are a small minority who don't look after them allowing them to become overgrown and unused. This is unfair on so many folks in our borough who are clamouring to get a plot. We also know that some plot holders are simply unable to maintain their allotments as they used to, perhaps because of old age and infirmity.
The review contains proposals to enable them to downsize to more manageable plots instead. We want to find ways to make sure that as many people as possible who would like an allotment can have one and that they are properly taken care of. The review addresses the issue of neglected plots, and suggests plot holders should be given two warnings – and lose their plots on the third. The process is designed to be balanced and fair, with an appeals process for added fairness."
The Council is also considering introducing a mentoring scheme for new allotment holders and giving them a six month probation to help them make use of the plot and keep the land up to scratch, rather than allowing it to become overgrown while denying another gardener the chance to grow there. Community Payback workers could also be used to clear neglected plots before they are offered to new users.
The Council's proposals are part of the draft allotment strategy for the next five years which is aimed at making plots available to more residents in the borough and freeing up sites which have fallen out of use. Other features in the strategy include limiting new applicants to one plot in the borough, and re-opening waiting lists so that applicants could assess their prospects of success, while allowing the Council to gauge the real level of demand.
The meeting will take place on Wednesday 23 September at 7 pm in Clarendon Hall, York House, Richmond Road, Twickenham and the draft strategy will be published on the Council's website five clear working days before the meeting. To view the agenda and draft strategy, please go to www.richmond.gov.uk/calendar_of_meetings. Residents wishing to speak at the meeting on Wednesday 23 September must register their request in advance by emailing email@example.com or calling 020 8891 7275. The deadline for requests to speak is 2 pm on Tuesday 22 September.

The Patriots are disappointed that Gallagher has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges and is forced to resign on April 18th. Although we are saddened by the decision, we respect Gallagher's choice to take the plea and we hope that his supporters refrain from casting aspersions against the former council member. No one can fully understand the tremendous emotional, physical and financial burden this has caused Gallagher and his family. Its easy to yell from the sidelines and condemn Gallagher for not continuing the fight for an acquittal and public vindication because of the reported overwhelming evidence and facts that support his innocence, yet let us remember that it is not so easy to roll the dice on the "trial by jury" crap table. Remember OJ?
Although the parameters of the plea agreement are clear and concise, the questions it raises leaves room for endless speculation.
The ten count indictment (that was ultimately thrown because of prosecutorial misconduct) contained a list of serious felonious charges but surprisingly the only plea bargains offered by the DA are misdemeanors. Are plea bargains a clear indication of what prosecutors feel they can prove in court? Some sources say yes.
According to reports, the alleged victim states she was not consulted regarding the plea bargain and stated publicly she was against the agreement. Were prosecutors concerned that the complainant was not a credible witness and her participation in any negotiations would hinder a conviction?
The plea bargain agreement was a swift and tidy way to end a very sticky and murky criminal case. Was this a way for the DA's office to close this case without further embarrassment and prevent details of the investigation from becoming public?
There are only two people who know what really happened the night of July 8th and a handful of individuals involved in the subsequent investigation of the incident. Hopefully, the rest of us will find out "the truth" as information become available in the near future. Although a true vindication would have come from a not guilty decision by either a judge or jury an acquittal in the court of public opinion could be just as sweet.

I still remember when I picked up this book and was so intrigued with everything I've heard about it. Brilliant, gruesome, creepy, disturbing and such were the words they described it and true enough, it was! The whole story is so messed up and Jazz is simple an interesting character! Highly recommended to those who love good mystery/thriller.
"Jazz hadn't given her many details of exactly what life in the Dent house had been like, but he'd told her enough that she knew it wasn't hearts and flowers. Well, except for the occasional heart cut from a chest. And the kind of flowers you send to funerals."

The White House budget proposal for fiscal year 2018 calls for the elimination of the Corporation for National and Community Service over the course of the next year, which would include ending national service programs like AmeriCorps and Senior Corps. If enacted, these cuts would devastate thousands of faith- and community-based organizations, in communities across America, that serve children and families, respond to natural disasters, support military families, and generally serve as the backbone of community efforts to address pressing challenges.
Each year, more than 62 million Americans volunteer to improve their communities. Their work supports local efforts to provide food, clothing, shelter, education, youth engagement opportunities, medical services, community development, job training, addiction counseling, prisoner re-entry support, disaster response and much more. National service members serving with AmeriCorps and Senior Corps support these volunteers who are donating their time and talent to community problem-solving.
Across the country, 80,000 AmeriCorps members and 270,000 Senior Corps members are currently serving local communities. Working hand in hand with thousands of nonprofit organizations, these dedicated Americans deliver vital services and recruit and manage millions of additional volunteers. At the same time, national service expands opportunity for its participants, especially young Americans, to gain marketable job skills and pursue higher education, which increases their employability and earning potential.
"As we continue to make the case for strong funding in fiscal year 2018, we are counting on bipartisan leadership in Congress and the thousands of national service supporters across the country who will join the fight to ensure AmeriCorps and Senior Corps members can continue to provide critically needed services to their communities and the nation," said AnnMaura Connolly, president of Voices for National Service.
Join Points of Light and Voices for National Service in calling on Congress to protect funding for national service and encouraging your networks to do the same. Take a #Stand4Service!
- Sign up at the top of the page to join this campaign via Facebook, Twitter or both.
- Share the campaign with your friends, family and colleagues, and ask them to make their voice heard.

Preferred Citation: John S. Phillips Papers, Berea College Special Collections & Archives,
Berea, Ky.
John Shem Phillips was born around 1900 at Hawk Run, PA, to Elizabeth Edwards
and David Rocer Phillips, both of Welsh background; his parents separated when
he was still young. (In some of his manuscripts, Phillips uses "David
Rocer" as a pen name.) His father and his Edwards grandfather both worked
in the coal industry. David Phillips, who became a mining engineer for the
C & O railroad, died in 1934 of silicosis from working in the Hawk's
Nest Tunnel in West Virginia; another son, Marcus Phillips, campaigned for
a plaque memorializing the hundreds of men who died there because of the working
conditions in the tunnel.
When John Phillips was about ten, he moved to Huntington, West Virginia. He
enlisted in the military during WW I, and briefly took on a variety of jobs
in coal and logging camps near his home. Then he studied music and drama in
New York and Cincinnati, eventually touring with a vaudeville team and also
with the summer opera company in Cincinnati. Phillips joined a Charleston,
WV, radio station in 1929, writing, announcing, and producing shows. He married
Flora Fern Poe of Elkton, WV, and the couple had one son, Frazier Malcolm Phillips,
who served in the Navy during WW II. Phillips also served in WW II, and later
chaired a local committee dedicated to improving understanding between military
and civilian entities, most notably during "Peace Week." This effort
involved him in a trip to Alaska as part of an Air Force publicity effort called
Operation Larkspur. He helped found the West Virginia Broadcasters' Association
(1946) and the TriState Industrial Editors Association. For five years Phillips
left radio to sell advertising for the Charleston Gazette, but then
again joined a Charleston station, going rapidly from salesman to manager.
By 1953 he was general manager of the Greater Huntington Radio Corporation,
operating WHTN, an independent radio station which added TV broadcasting in
1957. In 1958 he went south to work at WJBF television in Augusta, GA. In 1959
he was back in Beckley, WV, writing farm-related articles and columns for the Raleigh
Register and the Post Herald and Register until he retired in
1964. Some of Phillips' stories and poetry were published in newspapers, but
his novel, George Samson, remained unpublished.
Series Description
10 Manuscript Boxes, 1 Oversize Box
Phillips mounted newspaper clippings of his columns and articles on notebook
paper and dated them. These were written between 1959 and 1964 for the Raleigh
Register, an afternoon paper, and the Post Herald and Register,
a morning paper. Besides reporting for the Post Herald farm page, Phillips
regularly wrote two columns: "Bug Dust," for the Register,
and "Speaking of Neighbors," for the Post Herald and Register.
This series contains some of Phillips' more serious writing as well
as some comic sketches and poems. "The Stalker of the Big Storm" (1944)
is a serial mystery, with "to be continued" at the end of each
section. "A Pioneer Home" is apparently historical fiction, a story
of an Indian/settler confrontation in early Virginia. "Squared Accounts" presents
a betrayed moonshiner. Phillips' memoirs include an account of a remarkable
dog ("The Moon Sets in the Morning"), and a lot of stories from
growing up in coal towns ("From Away Back"). "The Day I Was
Alone" is a memorable short story, but may well be based on situations
known to the author. One radio script is intended to present information to
veterans, while the other is entertaining fiction. Also included are typescripts
and copies or clippings of original poems written between 1920 and 1964—most
of them between 1923 and 1944. A handwritten poem is dated 1916. The most successful
are verses in dialect like "Jack's Theory" or "Runty
Pig." Phillips collected his verse in a manuscript he entitled "Beyond
the Moat."
Phillip's novel follows a young man of the prohibition era from his
mountain home to the state capital, where his intelligence and ambition lead
him to organize the local homebrew vendors, gaining wealth and power at moral
and personal cost. Finally, motivated by his interest in an attractive college
girl and various crises in the city's underworld, he exits the rackets,
but when the woman he loves rejects him he sinks into alcoholism. After friends
bring him back to sobriety and restored health, he invests in legitimate business,
enters university, and reconnects with his family. He marries, and his future
looks bright. Yet he does not escape the revenge of a mountain man in his home
This series consists largely of formal photos from Phillips' public
career, especially from the "Peace Week" celebration he organized
in 1948. Among the special guests was West Virginia native Capt. Chuck Yeager,
already renowned as a test pilot, and Brigadier General Anthony "Nuts" MacAuliffe.
There are shots of the parade in Charleston and the special guests with city
and state leaders. The loose photos range from an early portrait of young Phillips,
inscribed to his parents, to clippings about a 1961 performance of The
Rainmaker, in which Phillips played a role. They document WGKV-NBC events,
and a farewell gathering of WHTN staff. The scrapbooks document the trip to
Alaska that the Air Force arranged to publicize its long range capabilities
immediately after World War II.
The large artifacts consist of a framed drawing of John Shem Phillips from
1948, done by Kandall Vintroux for the Charleston Gazette's "Guess
Who" feature, a Kentucky Colonel certificate signed by Governor Lawrence
Wetherby in 1954, and a scrapbook featuring articles by and about Phillips,
including a regular column called "Hidden Trails" that he wrote
for the Kanawha Valley Leader. The scrapbook includes a whole section
about the launching of WHTN Huntington's TV broadcasts, with John Phillips
as station manager. A newspaper account of the Hawk's Nest scandal, mentioning
David Phillips, is entitled "Town of the Living Dead. "

WASHINGTON DC, USA -- HIT/HIPAA UPDATE NEWS SERVICE -- OCTOBER 25, 2006: Health Affairs is pleased to announce that after 25 years as a print journal and six years in online publishing, the journal has launched a blog at www.healthaffairs.org/blog as a new means of engaging readers in the health policy debate.
"Health Affairs is all about an ongoing dialogue on health policy issues of concern to a diverse audience of interested readers," wrote John Iglehart, Founding Editor, on the blog.
New guest posts on the blog include:
BIOTECH DRUG PRICES: James Robinson, professor of economics, University of California, Berkeley, writes: "The biotechnology industry has grounds for complaint. The research pipeline is disgorging breathtaking new treatments for cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and other once-intractable diseases. But instead of praise, or in addition to praise, the industry finds itself subjected to ever-louder criticism of prices and earnings."
MERCK VP Ian Spatz writes on biotech pricing: "Admittedly, the rigor of [purchaser- and patient-driven cost-effectiveness] evaluations can vary and are sometimes used by purchasers simply to deny access."
HEALTH IT: Join the lively debate between author and readers regarding a new study showing that fewer than 1 in 10 doctors e-prescribe.
HEALTH REFORM: Uwe Reinhardt, Princeton University, writes on the reality of health care policymaking.
Alain Enthoven, Stanford University, writes on competition and consumer-driven care.
Alan Maynard, University of York, offers insights from reform experiences in Europe.
And Gail Wilensky discusses pay for performance.
Coming up: more on biotech drug pricing from venture capitalist Leighton Read and others.

Harrigian said the "pure quantity of phone calls" has increased in order to "drive down the ambiguity" and ensure Russian Federation knows where US and allied troops are operating.

Trump records robocall for Montana special election
Quist, 69, is a fifth-generation Montanan and bluegrass musician whose squinty eyes, laconic manner and dusty boots could not make him more quintessentially cowboy. But the campaign has also revealed a less-flattering side of the amiable troubadour, involving lawsuits, tax liens, and a messy personal finance history, which Republicans have amplified in TV ads suggesting Quist is a scofflaw and cheat with values, personal and political, that are anathema to Montana.

What do Stalin, Hitler, and college professors have in common?
"The Socratic Method," explains professor and program director of Comparative Literature David Lenson at Umass Amherst, "Has left a legacy of totalitarian thought that we have never lived down completely."
For Commonwealth College's first faculty lecture of the semester, David Lenson addressed a packed auditorium in the Campus Center. So many students showed up that even after the organizers lined up extra rows of chairs in the back, the wall space was completely filled with students who came out to listen to Prof. Lenson speak.
Following a slew of student testimonials dubbing him "the smartest professor on Umass campus," "the man," and a total "bad ass," Lenson took the stage. He was wearing a tan jacket and a button down shirt, and his eyes twinkled a bit as he gestured and spoke to the audience with a distinctive rhythm in his voice.
He warned: "Im going to say some nasty things about Plato."
"He probably never took a bath, he walked around all day, he didn't do anything constructive, and he was probably an asshole. Is that enough reason to put someone to death? "All of us University faculty would be decimated."
Lenson, in his trademark style, spent the remainder of the lecture joking around while also discussing deep, philosophical topics.
His focus was a critique Socratic Method, a philosophy of teaching involving the unending questioning of students to expose contradictions in their theories or ideas. Professor
Lenson explained that this style asserts that the instructor really has all of the knowledge. When this philosophy is stretched, it leads to the kind of "enlightened guardians" that many authoritarian leaders and regimes have used to justify their position.
In a pretentious faux-British accent, he mocked professors who claim that they're doing students a favor by using the Socratic Method, rather than lecturing.
"Just as surely as a lecturer will bludgeon you with his opinions and force you to sit there passively while you're hit over the head with them, no more so the Socratic method knows the conclusion that it wants to reach as certainly as a lecturer does, and will slowly, gradually lure you in until you give your consent to it. "
David Lenson has been a professor at Umass Amherst since 1971. He has written five books, including a semi-academic study of drug culture titled "On Drugs." Lenson has served as an editor for the Massachusetts Review, and plays saxophone at approximately one hundred gigs a year. His lectures in CompLit 131 "Brave New Worlds" are legendary among Umass students, who have gone as far as to archive recordings of his lectures online.
" I can talk as long as necessary on any subject," Lenson admits. The UMass community hopes he will keep at it for a long time.

Monday, September 14
CNF Workshop: Today: Bain and McClintock. We'll start Wednesday with Miss Lepczyk (that was due today as well).
For Wednesday: Holley and Blackham. For next Monday: Bett and Hamilton. For next Wednesday: Denny and Hill.
And by 9 a.m. next Thursday, Sept. 24, I need you to have your second rotation essay posted to the blog. I hope to begin the second round on Monday, Sept. 28.
Screenwriting Workshop: Today you got copies of screenplays (Olivia and Andi) for Wednesday. As always, your assignment is:
1. Read the screenplays.
2. Annotate the screenplays – write on the hard copies in the margins.
3. Write comments for the screenplays and post them to the blog under their respective pieces. These must be posted by the beginning of class on Wednesday (8am preferably, but if you need to use the school computers to do this, you have some leeway. The beginning of class is the ultimate deadline.)
Here are some guidelines: Fiction 1.28.15 – Sample Comments, Screenwriting – Comment Guidelines 2012.
Less Miserables: Began watching Into the Woods. If you have not seen all of 1776, you need to get a copy from me (please bring in a flash drive — that would be super-helpful) and finish watching it on your own. You will then need to complete the response: I want all of these in by the end of the day Friday.
BatCat Press: Please focus on submissions. Let me know if you have any questions.
Middle School: Today we discussed some characteristics of Ray Bradbury's writing, among them:
- the use of vivid and unusual imagery ("hot tent heavens"), sometimes including hyperbole ("he had gone out to eat five thousand steaming hot dogs…"), which is a deliberate exaggeration used for effect, usually something that couldn't literally be true.
- the use of long, run-on-style sentences, which can give the effect of motion. (As they're used in "The Illustrated Man" and "The Whole Town's Sleeping," they give the effect of a character being chased.)
- Even though we didn't discuss this today, Bradbury also uses the familiar to suggest the unfamiliar. The peaceful setting of a small town on a summer night becomes a place of terror; a simple jar and a man's tattoos become a source of mystery and horror.
For Wednesday, please bring in your permission slips if you haven't — I'd like to pass out some books!
Survey: Poetry: Today we took a "prequiz" on Chapter 4, which most people did well on. We discussed the following terms from Chapter 4:
tenor and vehicle
the difference between metaphor, simile and symbol
hypoerbole and mixed metaphor
the Venn Diagram chart on page 67
We started talking about synecdoche but were interrupted right at the point at which Bill is stomped to death by skinheads. We'll finish Wednesday!
Survey: Fiction: Today we talked about (and defined, roughly) objectivity, subjectivity, denotation, connotation, and lightly touched upon "concrete, significant detail."
Permission slips for your textbooks were handed out – these need to be returned ASAP. There will be a reading assignment given for next Monday, and if you don't have a book, you won't be in a good position to do the reading. So please, get it signed and bring it in as soon as possible.
Your homework for Wednesday is Prompt #3 (Fiction 9.14.15 – Prompt #3, story rewrite). Notebooks will be collected at the end of class on Wednesday as well, so please make sure that you've gotten all of the notes up to this point (if you were absent, get them from a classmate).

It bears repeating: The gold bull market is back!
I admit that's a big statement, and I believe the implications for every single investor are profound.
It will mean much, much higher gold prices, of course – a historic bull run that no investor will want to miss.
How high is gold likely to go? I think we'll see $1,400 this year and, eventually, $5,000 before this bull run is over.
Liquidity moves markets!Click here to learn how you can follow the money.
Let me show you why I'm putting these targets out there for everyone…
Three Gold Indicators Point in One Direction: Straight Up
Some important technicals tell me higher prices are in the cards: price action, the Dow/gold ratio, and the Gold Miners Bullish Percent Index.
Urgent: Executive Editor Bill Patalon just saw something on his precious metals charts he's only seen twice in 20 years. He calls it the "Halley's Comet of investing" – and it could lead to windfall profits. Read more…
Let's look at them one by one to understand just what they are telling us about gold's future direction, and what we need to look for going forward.
Chart price action tends to be an influential technical indicator of the health of an asset or security, gold among them.
So a closer look at a long-term chart of the gold price helps us appreciate just where gold stands in the big picture, and how it's been behaving lately.
In September, gold broke out to the upside of a wedge it's been forming since late 2008. And despite its temporary pullback below the psychologically important $1,300 level, gold has remained above the top of its wedge formation.
Looking at a five-year chart, we see that gold has bumped up against the $1,300 level multiple times, as that has acted as overhead resistance.
Gold has once again pushed above $1,300. This is the third time since gold returned to bull market action in December 2015. And this time it's within a bullish rising channel, with the 50-day and 200-day moving averages both sloping upward.
Overall, the precious metal's price action has been very positive, especially since the $1,050 bottom of two years ago, followed by a higher low one year ago.
What's more, we've just completed two consecutive calendar years of positive returns.
My other charts look very strong, too…
Here's What the Dow/Gold Ratio Shows
This ratio pits the Dow Jones Industrial Average against the price of gold, telling us how many ounces of the precious metal are needed to "buy the Dow" at a given point in time.
As we can see, the Dow's peak in 2000 coincided with gold's low, launching the multi-year bull market. During the 2008-2009 financial crisis, gold soared as the Dow crashed, leaving gold relatively expensive as the Dow eventually began a new multi-year bull.
What we need to look for now is a new peak, where the Dow once again establishes a high against the gold price. Over the last two years, both the Dow and gold have been rising, but the Dow's been doing so at a faster pace.
Looking back on a 100-year chart, we see that we are already nearing lofty peaks in the 18 to 28 range, which has previously marked turning points.
The first of these was in 1929, and then again in 1966. Consider that we are now well within that range.
I expect the Dow/gold ratio will peak again sometime within the next 12 to 24 months. That will be additional confirmation that gold is in bull market mode.
Here's the final piece of the puzzle…
The Gold Miners Bullish Percent Index Looks Very Good
Now, the Gold Miners BPI does not refer to gold specifically, but instead to gold stocks. It's true that gold stocks are a derivative of gold, but the fact is that they rise and fall along with their underlying commodity.
What is interesting is that gold stocks sometimes lead the price of gold higher.
Before gold finally returned to bull mode, you can see gold stocks in late 2015 attempting a breakout.
Once gold did start higher, gold stocks dramatically outperformed the metal.
Now, let's fast-forward to today and look at the Gold Miners Bullish Percent Index (BPI). This tool measures overbought and oversold conditions for gold mining stocks.
When the index reaches above 80, it means 80% of the stocks in the sector are in a technical bull mode. However, that's when they are most at risk of correction, as traders have become too bullish; gold stocks are overbought.
Conversely, when the BPI drops below 30, it has become oversold (with less than 30% of the sector trading in bull mode). Once it turns higher from that level, the BPI produces a buy signal that gold stocks could be starting a new rally.
Well… look at what happened in the second half of December.
That's when the BPI turned higher, took a short pause, then jumped higher again just before year's end.
That signals gold stocks are in a new rally and could well pull gold prices higher along with them. Since then, gold stocks are up more than four times the gains in gold.
Such outperformance suggests the entire sector is not only in a bull market, but a very strong one, headed dramatically higher.
The strength of these three technical indicators is all the proof I need to tell me the gold bull market is back. This is your cue to make sure you don't get left behind.
