Hip-Hop artist David Banner sent 80 children from the Stewpot Neighborhood Children's program in Jackson, Mississippi on an all expense paid trip to Six Flags over Georgia today (July 20). The rapper provided a bus, food, t-shirts and admission to the park on the annual excursion, which he has been sponsoring since 2005, with the intention of exposing the youth to different environments. “The children that we serve at Stewpot would not normally be able to go on an 'out of town' trip," said Stewpot Community Services Counselor, Sherry Adams. "Most of the kids in the community have not been out of Mississippi. Because of Banner's love for our community, he makes it possible for our kids to travel outside of Mississippi, on a fun and exciting summer trip every year.
Notes: Buehrle aligned for Opening Day
TUCSON, Ariz. -- The pitching alignment for the White Sox first week of Cactus League action was released Friday afternoon. And without manager Ozzie Guillen making the news 100 percent official, the spring setup seems to line up Mark Buehrle for his sixth Opening Day start in the past seven years. Buehrle gets the call for two innings to open Monday's intrasquad game, followed by Javier Vazquez being scheduled for two in Tuesday's intrasquad action. John Danks opens the regular portion of the Arizona schedule on Wednesday afternoon at Tucson Electric Park, followed by Jose Contreras on Thursday at Hi Corbett Field. According to Guillen's comments earlier in the week, the rotation's third spot would have a direct bearing on the rotation's top spot as he didn't want Buehrle and Danks pitching back-to-back.
Power pole knocked down after crash
A crash at Old St. Augustine Road and Pine View Drive knocked out a power pole, but no one was seriously injured. The intersection was blocked off for several hours after the 3 a.m. crash so the power pole could be repaired, but it is now open, said Lt. Ken Bergstrom, of the Tallahassee Police Department. .
The Editorial Board
He has never voted in a Democratic primary in Texas, even though he has lived in Austin for several years while attending law school at the University of Texas and working for a local law firm. During a meeting with editorial writers, Thompson was vague, though earnest, about the issues facing residents in the eastern and northeastern sectors of Travis County and how he, as a legislator, would go about representing constituents if elected. He seemed focused on Dukes' relationship with and prior support of Republican House Speaker Tom Craddick - a distraction, really - and confused about which issues fall into the realm of city government and which are the domain of state government. Many residents of District 46 have accused the Democratic Party of recruiting Thompson to run against Dukes in hopes of eliminating another Craddick supporter.
