The literary reader: prose authors, with biogr. notices &c. by H.G. Robinson
editado por Hugh George Robinson
·tion had been softened away. The lay of Britomart, in twelve
cantos, in praise of Chastity, would have been received with a smile at the court of Ferrara, which would have had almost as little sympathy with the justice of Arthegal.
The allegories of Spenser have been frequently censured. One of their greatest offences, perhaps, is that they gave birth to some tedious and uninteresting poetry of the same kind. There is usually something repulsive in the application of an abstract or general name to a person; in which, though with some want of regard, as I have intimated above, to the proper meaning of the word, we are apt to think that allegorical fiction consists. The French and English poets of the Middle Ages had far too much of this ; and it is to be regretted that Spenser did not give other appellations to his Care and Despair, as he has done to Duessa and Talus. In fact, Orgoglio is but a giant, Humiltà a porter, Obedience a servant. The names, when English, suggest something that perplexes us; but the beings exhibited are mere persons of the drama, men and women, whose office cr character is designated by their appellation.
The general style of the Faery Queen is not exempt from several defects, besides those of obsoleteness and redundancy. Spenser seems to have been sometimes deficient in one attribute of a great poet, the continual reference to the truth of Nature, so that his fictions should be always such as might exist on the given conditions. This arises in great measure from copying his predecessors too much in description, not suffering his own good sense to correct their deviations from truth. Thus, in the beautiful description of Una, where she first is introduced to us, riding
"Upon a lowly ass more white than snow,
Herself much whiter."
This absurdity may have been suggested by Ovid's" Brachia Sithonia candidiora nive;" but the image in this line is not brought so distinctly before the mind as to be hideous as well as untrue ; it is merely a hyperbolical parallel. A similar objection lies to the stanza enumerating as many kinds of trees as the poet could call to mind, in the description of a forest,
"The guiling pine, the cedar proud and tall,
The vine-prop elm, the poplar never dry,
The builder oak, sole king of forests all,
The aspine good for staves, the cypress funeral;" with thirteen more in the next stanza. Every one knows that a natural forest never contains such a variety of species ; nor indeed could such a medley as Spenser, treading in the steps of Ovid, has brought together from all soils and climates, exist long if planted by the hands of man. Thus, also, in the last canto of the second book, we have a celebrated stanza, and certainly a very beautiful one, if this defect did not attach to it; where winds, waves, birds, voices, and musical instruments are supposed to conspire in one harmony. A good writer has observed upon this, that "to a person listening to a concert of voices and instruments, the interruption of singing-birds, winds, and water-falls, would be little better than the torment of Hogarth's enraged musician." But perhaps the enchantment of the Bower of Bliss, where this is feigned to have occurred, may in some degree justify Spenser in this instance, by taking it out of the common course of nature. The stanza is translated from Tasso, whom our own poet has followed with close footsteps in these cantos of the second book of the Faery Queen-cantos often in themselves beautiful, but which are rendered stiff by a literal adherence to the original, and fall very short of its ethereal grace and sweetness. It would be unjust not to relieve these strictures, by observing that very numerous passages might be brought from the Faery Queen of admirable truth in painting, and of indisputable originality. The cave of Despair, the hovel of Corceca, the incantation of Amoret, are but a few among those that will occur to the reader of Spenser.
The admiration of this great poem was unanimous and enthusiastic. No Academy had been trained to carp at his genius with minute cavilling ; no recent popularity, no traditional fame (for Chaucer was rather venerated than much in the hands of the reader), interfered with the immediate recognition of his supremacy. The Faery Queen became at once the delight of every accomplished gentleman, the model of every poet, the solace of every scholar. In the course of the next century, by the extinction of habits derived from chivalry, and
the change both of taste and language, which came on with the Civil Wars and the Restoration, Spenser lost something of his attraction, and much more of his influence over literature ; yet, in the most phlegmatic temper of the general reader, he seems to have been one of our most popular writers. Time, however, has gradually wrought its work; and, notwithstanding the more imaginative cast of poetry in the present century, it may be well doubted whether the Faery Queen is as much read or as highly esteemed as in the days of Anne. It is not perhaps very difficult to account for this : those who seek the delight that mere fiction presents to the mind (and they are the great majority of readers), have been supplied to the utmost limit of their craving, by stores accommodated to every temper, and far more stimulant than the legends of Faeryland. But we must not fear to assert, with the best judges of this and of former ages, that Spenser is still the third name in the poetical literature of our country, and that he has not been surpassed, except by Dante, in any other.
If we place Tasso and Spenser apart, the English poetry of Elizabeth's reign will certainly not enter into competition with that of the corresponding period in Italy. It would require not only much national prejudice, but a want of genuine æsthetic discernment, to put them on a level. But it may still be said that our own Muses had their charms; and even that, at the end of the century, there was a better promise for the future than beyond the Alps. We might compare the poetry of the one nation to a beauty of the court, with noble and regular features, a slender form, and grace in all her steps, but wanting a genuine simplicity of countenance, and with somewhat of sickliness in the delicacy of her complexion, that seems to indicate the passing away of the first season of youth ; while that of the other would rather suggest a country maiden, newly mingling with polished society, not of perfect lineaments, but attracting beholders by the spirit, variety, and intelligence of her expression, and rapidly wearing off the traces of rusticity, which are still sometimes visible in her demeanour.
LORD MACAULA Y.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.
THOMAS BABINGTON MACAULAY was born at Rothley Temple, in Leicestershire, in the last year of the eighteenth century. His father, Zachary Macaulay, a native of Scotland, had removed early in life to England, and had applied himself to commerce. He was a zealous Presbyterian, and identified himself with a local religious party known as "the Clapham Sect," and was honourably distinguished for his labours in the anti-slavery cause, in which he was a fellowworker with Buxton and Wilberforce. Thomas B. Macaulay, his son, graduated at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was highly distinguished for his classical attainments, and where also he made his first essay as a speaker, being a prominent member of the Union Debating Society.
On leaving the university he entered upon the study of law. He found time, however, for literary composition; and after writing a few ballads and occasional pieces, he became in 1825 a contributor to the Edinburgh Review. The reputation which his contributions brought bim led to his appointment as Commissioner of Bankruptcy. Soon afterwards, through the influence of Lord Lansdowne, he was returned to Parliament for the borough of Calne, and amongst his earliest parliamentary efforts were his speeches in favour of Reform, delivered when Lord J. Russell's Bill was before the House.
When the Reform Parliament was elected after the passing of that Bill in 1832, Macaulay was chosen Member for the newly-enfranchised borough of Leeds, and afterwards became Secretary to the Board of Control.
In 1834 he went out to India as Member of the Supreme Council and its legal adviser. One of the results of his residence there was the compilation of a new code of law, the chief fault of which was that it was found to be impracticable. At the end of three years he returned to England, and in 1839 was elected for Edinburgh. He then became Secretary at War under Lord Melbourne's Administration, and held office till 1841, when the Whigs gave place to Sir R. Peel's Government. A few words in a speech on the Maynooth grant lost him his seat for Edinburgh ; but in 1852 he was re-elected without effort or solicitation on his own part, and retained his seat till 1856. From that time he was chiefly employed on his History of England, the first two volumes of which had appeared in 1849. This great work was, however, destined to remain a fragment, for he did not live to issue more than two additional volumes. After hav. ing been raised to the peerage in 1857, he died on the 21st of December 1859, and was buried, to use his own words, " in that Great Abbey, which has during many ages afforded a quiet resting-place to those whose minds and bodies have been shattered by the contentions of the Great Hall."
Macaulay has won high fame as poet, orator, essayist, and historian. His ballads on Ivry and The Armada, and his Lays of Ancient Rome, if not in the bighest vein of poetry, are at least full of fire and animation, rich in imagery, and brilliant with word-painting, rolling down with something of Pindaric rush, or rather with that impetuous flow which is popularly supposed to be characteristic of Pindar. The Essays, consisting of the papers contributed by him, through a long series of years, to the Edinburgh Review, are splendid compositions. Those written by him early in life-especially the first, on Milton-have wany of the faults of immaturity; but the whole collection is replete with evidences of the most varied knowledge, with large and enlightened views on history, with striking and pointed thoughts, with brilliant descriptions, and mnost felicitous illustrations and comparisons. His oratory was very much in the same style. His Speeches, indeed, were essays as carefully elaborated as his written compositions, and their effect was in some degree weakened by a somewhat harsh voice and a too rapid delivery. His Speeches on Reforni may be referred to as affording the best specimens of his efforts in this line.
It is on his History of England that his fame may be expected mainly to depend.
This magnificent work has already been described as a fragment. The author purposed to write the history of his country from the accession of James II. to a time within the memory of persons still living. But a higher will forbade, and the fifth volume, published after his death, only brings the narrative down to the close of William the Third's reign. The merits of this History are unquestionably very great. Few writers have taken more pains to accumulate materials, and none ever made a more effective use of them. The work exhibits evidence of the most multifarious reading and the most laborious research. Whatever would illustrate the social and political condition of the times,-contemporary letters, pamphlets, journals, sermons, ballads, have all been laid under contribution. There is breadth of view, acuteness of insight, and a philosophic spirit pervading the whole composition. The narrative is full of life and fire. Nothing can be more graphic or brilliant than some of the descriptive scenes.

Don Dale youth detention centre detainees try to light fire, police called in

Four young people have been removed from Darwin's Don Dale youth detention centre after damaging infrastructure and attempting to light fires during a three-hour stand-off.
According to a Territory Families spokesperson, the youths refused to go to their rooms after dinner last night.
They then gained access to a staff only area, damaged infrastructure and tried to light a fire.
Police were called to the centre at 6pm and the situation was resolved three hours later.
The four young people will remain at the police watch house until an investigation is completed.
No staff or young people were injured.
No charges have yet been laid.
Friday night's incident came after two guards were hospitalised during a disturbance at the Alice Springs youth detention centre a week ago.
The ABC has been told three of the four detainees involved in last night's Don Dale stand-off had been transferred from the Central Australian facility for their role in last week's incident.
Workers at Don Dale have been voicing concern and frustration at operations inside the centre in recent months, saying under-staffing is making conditions unsafe for them and the young people detained.

Previewing each program in OUA West Women's Basketball
Hamilton, ON- The last time the OUA West was a six-team division, the Western Mustangs finished on top. Led by first-year head coach Nate McKibbon and several veteran stars, the Mustangs made it all the way to the OUA semi-finals.
This year's division could be competitive with four of the six teams making the playoffs last year. The Mustangs went all the way to the semis once again The key question is whether any of them will break through and reach the OUA finals or win the Critelli Cup.
Algoma Thunderbirds
(Algoma Thunderbirds)
Preseason Record: 0-5
The Thunderbirds have been in the OUA since 2013-14 but have yet to reach the playoffs. They had a program-best 6-16 record in 2019-20 before falling to 1-13 last season.
The team loses important international players Megan Looney and Thais Matte. Forward Bethany Balaktsis and guard Gracie Batongbakal are among their top returning players. What's notable about Algoma is their youth. Every player is in their first or second year of eligibility, including Lakehead transfer Rhianna Mae-Liang.
The youthful group has some preseason games under their belt and are still searching for their first win of the season.
Guelph Gryphons
Guelph's Mackeeley Shantz (Photo: Laurel Jarvis/Guelph Athletics)
It's a new era in Guelph as former associate head coach Megan Reid is the new head coach, succeeding Mark Walton. Reid was an assistant with the Guelph Nighthawks this summer and she takes over a program that's been steady in the past few years.
The Gryphons have posted a winning record three of the past four seasons but some of the core players from that run – Skyla Minaker, Burke Bechard and Reece Mungar – have left. The team still has some returning production with Mackeely Shantz, Natalie Vigna and Renee Armstrong as their top three scorers so far this preseason.
Guelph also comes into the season on a four-game winning streak with victories over UNBC, Waterloo, McGill and Ontario Tech. Don't be surprised if they're contending for the top of the division once again.
Waterloo Warriors
(Waterloo Warriors)
If last season was about the Warriors breaking through and ending their playoff drought, this year will be about building on that. Head coach Jessica Roque's team certainly has the players to do so.
Roque is entering her third year (second playing season) as Waterloo's head coach, after being a top assistant at TMU. Led by OUA All-Star Vanessa Hughes, Kaitlyn Overeem, Beth Howlett and Windsor transfer Madeleine Adams, the Warriors finished with a 9-5 record before losing to McMaster in the playoffs. It was their first playoff berth and winning season since 2008.
All those players mentioned above are back. The team has six fourth or fifth year players. The results have come this preseason with wins against Concordia and Alberta and a close loss to Queen's. Perhaps this is the year they not only make the playoffs again but make a run once they're in.
Western Mustangs
(Western Mustangs)
The Mustangs have had some significant transfer additions the past few seasons. From Rachel Fradgley and Elizabeth Leblanc in 2019-20 to Jessica Morris and Ashley Wheeler last season. This year, while the team brings in former Carleton wing Emily Capretta, the bulk of their core is from their returning players.
Western has four players (Ariane Saumure, Sarah Harvey, Brett Fischer and Madalyn Picton) averaging over 10 points per game and five players averaging over six rebounds (including two-sport star Avarie Thomas and veteran Morgan Tamminga).
Their size and presence on the boards figures to be a strength to compliment guards Thomas, Saumure and Picton.
Head coach Nate McKibbon's squad has faced some strong teams in the preseason so far. They beat Brock and Cape Breton and lost to Fraser Valley, Saskatchewan and Victoria. The strong schedule could help later on as it represents the level of competition the Mustangs will face in order to reach the OUA finals and beyond.
Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks
Cassidy Hirtle (Photo: Christian Bender/Laurier Athletics)
The Laurier Golden Hawks were a young team last season and it showed. With 11 players in their first season, the team finished 4-11 – their first year missing the playoffs since 2007.
While those rookies went through their growing pains, there were also some bright spots as well. Cassidy Hirtle was an OUA All-Star in her first season, leading the Golden Hawks in points, steals and minutes played.
Fellow first-years Miranda Campbell, Madelyn White, Alexa Sawchuck and Emmanuelle Felix also had big roles as each averaged over 20 minutes per game. That learning experience could pay dividends this season.
The team has already played eight preseason games with two wins over McGill and some close losses. Laurier brought in six more first-year players. Guard Brittyn Graves leads all rookies on the team with 9.6 points on average and forward Kathryn White leads all players with 4.9 rebounds per game. The youth movement could be continuing as Laurier looks to return to the playoffs.
Windsor Lancers
(Windsor Lancers)
Once upon a time in the late 2000's and early 2010's, the Lancers were the team to beat in Canadian university women's basketball, winning numerous OUA and national titles. Last season, head coach Chantel Vallee's program saw their record slip from 17-5 to 6-10.
The Lancers bring back most of last year's squad while adding some interesting newcomers. Australian guard Harriet Carey remains one of their go-to players and their leading scorer this preseason. Mariame Dehkissia and Julia Chiarot played significant minutes in their first year and are poised to do so again. Guard Maggie Denys had her best statistical season in 2021-22.
Windsor brought in Ontario Tech transfer Vanessa Budimunda, a rising OUA star who led the Ridgebacks in average points (10) and rebounds (8.4) last season. They've also brought in 6-5 post Kali Grootenboer, who won a silver medal with Canada's U18 team at the FIBA Americas this summer.
This could be the type of recruiting – and player development – that get Windsor back on path to its dynastic days.

Brewer's latest injury opens door to speculation about his future
By Clay WhittingtonThursday 02
Baylor junior quarterback Charlie Brewer, who was a standout at Austin Lake Travis, suffered another scary hit to the head during Wednesday's Sugar Bowl, and the injury is prompting some to wonder whether his career should continue.
After taking a late hit during the 26-14 loss, Brewer laid on the turf for several minutes before returning to his feet.
While he was evaluated for a neck injury, the incident follows a series of three documented concussions during his career, including one last month.
With the potential for long-term consequences from brain damage a possibility, the latest developments certainly raise red flags for Brewer, who admitted to spending about a week in a dark room following his last concussion.
Additionally, questions regarding Matt Rhule's handling of the situation are becoming a hot topic of discussion.
Could this be the final straw for Brewer's career? Could Rhule make a run for the NFL before the criticism reaches a boiling point? Could Baylor football's resurgence be coming to a close?
Only time will tell, but for now, Brewer's latest injury certainly sheds more light on just how delicate the human body can be, and how there is no room for error when it comes to the well-being of a player.

Billionaire investor George Soros has received regulatory clearance to enter the Brazilian telecom fray with a $500M investment in local pay-TV provider Sunrise Telecommunications, Reuters reports. Soros' Cayman Islands-based Soros Fund Management will take control of Sunrise Telecomunicaçoes, a subscription TV service in Sao Paulo state. Soros reportedly is making the investment in order to participate in a broadcast spectrum auction this month. One of the requirements for bidding is the ability to offer advanced wireless services in six host cities for soccer championships next year ahead of the World Cup in 2014.
The Thessaloniki Film Festival (November 2-11) has slashed cash prizes that are usually awarded to winners of the Alexander Awards, Screen reports, due to the Greek financial crisis and uncertainties concerning the future of the country. Production at the Greek Film Centre also is practically at a standstill because of financial woes. The new cuts will be on top of 50% reductions to $25,000 for the Golden Alexander for the best film and $12,400 for the Silver. Festival director Dimitris Eipides already managed to reduce festival debt from the more than $7.4M inherited from previous administrations to between $1.9M and $2.5M. Current funding levels are believed to be enough to keep the festival running until November 2013.

Trying to hard, yup, for an older guy making to much of 'befriending' a much younger boy, almost always raises red flags.
Best to just be yourself, show a little interest but NOT to much... Let time do the work not you.
Boys are not dumb or naive when it comes to 'older' friends. If you are cool and not overbearing or over eager you stand a good chance of making a few young friends.
I have said before... find a common interest or two and then leave it at that. Don't go texting him, messaging him phoning him, hanging around his house, school, park... let him come to you if and when he wants to. Way less creepy and hopefully the endgame is a friendship and not a 'toy'.

Georg Schallermair  (* 29. Dezember 1894 in Hebertshausen; † 7. Juni 1951 in Landsberg am Lech) war ein deutscher SS-Hauptscharführer im KZ-Außenlagerkomplex Mühldorf, einem Außenlager des Konzentrationslagers Dachau. Er wurde als Kriegsverbrecher zum Tode verurteilt und hingerichtet.

Tätigkeit im KZ und rechtliche Ahndung
Schallermair, gelernter Betonbauer, leistete bis 1944 Dienst in der Wehrmacht und wurde dann zur Waffen-SS eingezogen. Von August 1944 bis Mai 1945 war er als Rapportführer unter dem Lagerkommandanten Walter Adolf Langleist im Konzentrationslager Mühldorf eingesetzt. Am 18. September 1947 wurde ihm in einem der Dachauer Nachfolgeverfahren (000–50-2-121) vor einem amerikanischen Militärgericht der Prozess gemacht. Es handelte sich um ein Folgeverfahren zum Mühldorf-Prozess.

Die Anklage legte Schallermair zur Last, als Rapportführer für die allgemeinen Bedingungen und die mangelnde Versorgung der Lagerinsassen 1944/45 mitverantwortlich gewesen zu sein, die bei einem Großteil von ihnen zum Tod durch Hunger oder Krankheit führten. Ihm wurde zudem vorgeworfen, viele Häftlinge eigenhändig zu Tode geprügelt zu haben und dabei noch über das hinausgegangen zu sein, was von ihm erwartet wurde. Weiter wurde er beschuldigt, die Entfernung von Goldzähnen verstorbener Häftlinge durch einen Häftlingsarzt überwacht zu haben. Alle Vorwürfe waren durch eine Vielzahl von Zeugenaussagen gestützt. Die von den Zeugen geschilderten Todesfälle konnten auch in den Sterbebüchern nachgewiesen werden, die im Konzentrationslager geführt wurden. Der Historiker Norbert Frei kommentierte im Rückblick: "Nach Aussage zahlreicher ehemaliger Häftlinge war Schallermair der Prototyp des brutalen Schlägers."

Schallermair gab an, er habe lediglich bei groben Verstößen gegen die Lagerordnung gezüchtigt, um die Disziplin zu wahren, und es sei niemals zu Todesfällen gekommen. Zur Entfernung der Goldzähne berief er sich auf Befehlsnotstand und verwies auf eine entsprechende Anordnung des Amtes D III (Sanitätswesen und Lagerhygiene) des SS-Wirtschafts- und Verwaltungshauptamts.

Am 23. September 1947 sprach das Militärgericht Schallermair der Kriegsverbrechen schuldig und verurteilte ihn zum Tode durch den Strang. Er wurde im Kriegsverbrechergefängnis Landsberg inhaftiert. Die Richter der Kriegsverbrechergruppe (War Crimes Group) des Europäischen Kommandos der USA (EUCOM) nahmen eine Überprüfung des Urteils vor. Am 7. Januar 1948 würdigten sie in ihrem "Review" nochmals ausführlich die Beweislage und bestätigten das Todesurteil:

 Die Beweise ergeben klar und deutlich die Tatsache, dass der Angeklagte als SS-Hauptscharführer und Rapportführer im Nebenlager Mühldorf an den Massenverbrechen im Zusammenhang des Konzentrationslagers Dachau beteiligt war. Zudem ist eindeutig nachgewiesen, dass der Angeklagte persönlich zahlreiche Lagerinsassen misshandelt und geschlagen hat. Viele der Insassen sind infolge der brutalen Schläge des Angeklagten gestorben. Das Beweismaterial rechtfertigt den Schuldspruch. Das Urteil ist nicht übertrieben hart.

Die deutsche Kampagne für die "Landsberger"

In den Jahren 1949 bis 1951 wurde in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland eine Kampagne gegen die Vollstreckung weiterer Todesurteile der US-Besatzungsmacht betrieben, an der sich höchste Regierungskreise der Bundesrepublik beteiligten. Ein Argument bildete die Tatsache, dass mit dem 1949 durch den Parlamentarischen Rat beschlossenen Grundgesetz die Todesstrafe abgeschafft worden war. Der Oberbefehlshaber der amerikanischen Streitkräfte in Europa, General Thomas T. Handy, leitete daraufhin 1950 eine erneute interne Überprüfung aller in seinen Zuständigkeitsbereich fallenden Urteile ein. Dafür wurde eigens eine Begnadigungsabteilung bei dem seit 1949 bestehenden "EUCOM War Crimes Modification Board" ins Leben gerufen. Zu den betreffenden Urteilen gehörte auch das gegen Schallermair, da es in Dachau gefällt worden war.

Am 31. Januar 1951 veröffentlichte Handy seine Entscheidung – zeitgleich mit John Jay McCloy, der als Hoher Kommissar für Deutschland für die Überprüfung der Urteile von Nürnberg zuständig war. Handy wandelte elf Todesurteile in lebenslange Haft um. Zwei Gnadengesuche lehnte er ab, das für den Adjutanten des Lagerkommandanten im KZ Buchenwald, Hans-Theodor Schmidt, und das für Schallermair. Seine Begründung:

 Georg Schallermair war als Führer eines Rollkommandos direkt für die Gefangenen in Mühldorf, einem Nebenlager von Dachau, verantwortlich. Er selbst schlug viele Gefangene derart, dass sie an den Folgen starben. Von 300 Menschen, die im Herbst 1944 in das Lager gebracht wurden, waren nach vier Monaten nur 72 am Leben. Täglich besuchte er mit einem gefangenen Zahnarzt das Leichenhaus, um den Toten die Goldzähne auszubrechen. Es gibt keine Tatsachen oder Argumente, die in diesem Falle Gnade in irgendeiner Weise rechtfertigen könnten.

In der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung äußerte Thilo Bode am 2. Februar 1951, an der Bestätigung dieser beiden Todesurteile könnten "Zweifel nicht unterdrückt werden". Schärfer ließ sich das Bundesministerium der Justiz vernehmen, das in diesen beiden Fällen "Fehlsprüche" sah. Allerdings fand selbst der Heidelberger Juristenkreis, der vom Ministerium hinzugezogen wurde, für eine Intervention zugunsten von Schallermair keinen sachlichen Ansatzpunkt. Dennoch trug eine Delegation des Juristenkreises Handy nochmals "Bedenken" vor, und dasselbe tat die Fachreferentin für die Zentrale Rechtsschutzstelle im Justizministerium, Margarethe Bitter. Der Justizminister Thomas Dehler wünschte jedoch noch mehr Druck und schrieb an den Bundespräsidenten Theodor Heuss, die Vollstreckung der Todesurteile gegen Schallermair und Schmidt würde "schweres, nicht wiedergutzumachendes Unrecht bedeuten".

Freilich waren die Argumente, die Dehler mitlieferte, ziemlich schwächlich. Wenn auch im Konjunktiv, räumte er ein, was auch Schallermair selbst bereits gestanden hatte: "Es dürfte zutreffen, daß Schallermair … Häftlinge geschlagen hat." Dagegen lasse sich aus den Zeugenaussagen nicht "schlüssig der Nachweis führen", dass dies die Ursache für den Tod der Misshandelten gewesen sei. Zudem hatte Rudolf Aschenauer, der Verteidiger Schallermairs, nachträglich drei jüdische Häftlinge aufgetrieben und Dehler mit deren Aussagen munitioniert. Laut Dehlers Brief sollen sie ausgesagt haben, "daß sie … sicher wissen, daß Schallermair keinen Häftling derart mißhandelt habe, daß er an den Folgen dieser Mißhandlungen gestorben ist." Tatsächlich schrieb Heuss am 23. Februar an Handy, er könne die Fälle zwar nicht im Detail beurteilen, aber die Aussagen "jüdischer Zeugen" sollten doch beachtet werden. Zugleich finanzierte die Zentrale Rechtsschutzstelle im Justizministerium mit 50.000 DM juristische Versuche von Warren Magee in den USA, mit Habeas-Corpus-Anträgen und Gnadengesuchen die Vollstreckung aller verbliebenen Todesurteile zu verhindern.

Am 21. Mai versuchte es das Justizministerium nochmals, diesmal mit einem Besuch Margarethe Bitters und des Kabinettsreferenten des Vizekanzlers und FDP-Vorsitzenden Franz Blücher, Georg Vogel, bei Handy, die auch gleich einen Brief Blüchers mitbrachten. Es stellte sich jedoch heraus, dass EUCOM selbst die nachgeschobenen Zeugenaussagen bereits in die Prüfung einbezogen hatte, so dass die juristischen Einwände endgültig gegenstandslos waren. Bitters politisches Argument, die Vollstreckung der Todesurteile könne rechtsradikale Tendenzen in Deutschland begünstigen, wies Handy mit den Worten zurück: "Sie bewegen sich auf gefährlichem Boden."

Weitere Habeas-Corpus-Anträge von Magee sorgten für nochmaligen Aufschub. Am 6. Juni wies der Oberste Gerichtshof der Vereinigten Staaten der USA die letzten Anträge endgültig zurück. Am 7. Juni 1951 wurde Schallermair zusammen mit Schmidt und den fünf Todeskandidaten, die in McCloys Zuständigkeitsbereich verblieben waren, nämlich Oswald Pohl, Erich Naumann, Paul Blobel, Werner Braune und Otto Ohlendorf, im Kriegsverbrechergefängnis Landsberg hingerichtet.

YHWH
YHWH (יהוה in the original Hebrew) is a name for the God of Abraham that appears in the Hebrew Bible, or Tanakh and is generally accepted as the name of God in Judaism and the Old Testament. The original pronunciation is lost to history, partly because those who knew it are gone, partly because the Hebrew Bible contains no vowels, and partly because Conservative and Orthodox Jews would not pronounce the name out of respect.[1] A common rendering of the word is sometimes called the "tetragrammaton" (which is Greek for "a word of four letters"). YHWH is written as it is because Hebrew doesn't usually include vowels. Judaism teaches that saying that name frivolously is blasphemy, even God is sometimes spellt G-d, terms like Ha'shem", lit. "The Name" are used to describe god instead of what are considered sacred names.
Since God never actually tells us His name, a commandment telling one not to take His name in vain is a little confusing.

Meaning and origin
There are several views of what YHWH means, and where the term originated. The most commonly accepted is that the term comes from "Y" (hebrew yodh י) meaning "he", and the Semitic root "HWH", (Hebrew: he wa he היה ) which means either "to be" or "to create" depending on context, mode and inflection, making YHWH "He who is" or alternately "He who creates."
Without vowels, both scholars of the Bible as well as linguists can only guess on the variation of the root HWH, and in context the raw word "YHWH" could also mean "He who builds", "He who lives" (the root "to be" has the variation of "to live" "to breathe" and "to build or bring into existence.") In Exodus 3:14, god states its name is "Ehyeh asher ehyeh" "I am what I am".
A second theory is based on the linguistic evidence that the Semitic tri-root "HWH" indicates things which fall, or a storm. This argument suggests YHWH might be indicating at Storm god. This highly compelling theory blends with the theory that YHWH was an Edomic Storm God who was adopted into the Canaanite culture.
Name(s)
In practical terms, the pronunciation is probably Yahweh or something fairly similar, and this is the usual translation into English. Though, to avoid speaking the name, because that's taboo, when Jews read the Hebrew scriptures aloud in prayer, the four letters are pronounced mainly as Adonai (my lord), but also as Elohim (gods - in plural (singular 'El')) in a few cases. Taking the taboo even further, some Conservative and Orthodox Jews simply call God "HaShem", literally meaning "the name."[1] Another common Jewish practice, especially among Orthodox Jews, is to write it as G-d instead of God or to refer to God as "Baruch ha-Shem" ("The Blessed Name" in Hebrew), feeling that even such first-order euphemisms are too sacred to be spoken or written.
Most Bible translations represent the four characters as "the Lord" (in small capitals when it stands in for YHWH) and "Lord God" (when it is "YHWH Adonai" or "Adonai Elohim" being translated) with the Jerusalem Bible (and "Sacred Name Bibles", such as the New World Translation used by Jehovah's Witnesses) being notable exceptions. In most English Bible translations (except for so-called "Sacred Name" editions, which use some form of the Hebrew for most or all names) these letters are translated as The LORD.
The concept of a high god connected to the sky and with severe restrictions on the use of his/its name exists in other religions as well as Judaism. The idea is found in places as diverse as Africa, Asia, both parts of America and and Australia.
—Encyclopaedia Britannica [2]
" His name often is revealed only to initiates, and to speak his name aloud is thought to invite disaster or death; his most frequent title is Father. "
It is unclear if this is an indigenous pattern or a reaction to Christian missionaries. [2]
Jehovah
An earlier, less accurate English rendition of the name is Jehovah, which was formed by a combination of the consonants YHWH and the cantillation marks (vowels) for "Adonai" (that's where the "o" comes from), as the word was written in the Tanakh, so that even the most absent-minded Jew wouldn't pronounce the Sacred Name and be Struck Down in Flame. The "Y" became "J" and "W" became "V" as the sounds corresponding to these letters are absent from Latin. This doggedly incorrect transliteration is still used by certain traditionalist groups and the Jehovah's Witnesses.
Though "Jehovah" is generally found in English-speaking Christian groups, it can sometimes be found in English-speaking Jewish sects as well. In the Hebrew alphabet, all letters are consonants, and vowels, if written at all, are written as diacritical marks above and below the letter. In order to remind the reader to do the substitution described above, the word YHWH was therefore traditionally written with the Adonay vowels, yielding "YaHoWaH"[citation needed] , later Romanized into "Jehovah" from being read as written instead of according to tradition. Though almost all Bible scholars agree that Jehovah is therefore incorrect, it remains a somewhat popular euphemism for the name of God.
At least one religious sect, the Jehovah's Witnesses, insist Jehovah is God's real name and insist on its use instead of God. There are also some sects, including many Christian Identity believers, who insist that "Yahweh" is the proper name. Comic writer Larry Gonick, in his Cartoon History of the Universe, poked fun at the controversy by suggesting the proper name of God was "Yahu-Wahu", then spelling it "Yahuwah" throughout the rest of the series.
Evidence from archaeological excavations (in the Douglas Adamsian tradition of "The Institute of Taking Impossibly Long Times to Find Out What's Painfully Obvious," as even a cursory reading of the millennia-old Tanakh or Old Testament with a right mind—although we're not sure how often that happens) strongly suggests that YHWH wasn't the only God, just one that Abraham promised to worship so he could take all of Palestine, put the men to the sword, the towns to the torch, and the women to bed. The deal also included sacrificing the good stuff—the gold, silver, wine, and animals—to the LORD, i.e. making His priests rich.
Evidences found in the Canaanite city of Ugarit suggests the ancient Israelites practiced a polytheistic North-west Semitic religion, with a creator god, El. Yahweh was associated with El, and became the "national god" of the Hebrews. There is some evidence of a god "YW" who was the Son of El; YW is generally considered to either be YHWH or be some play on words to make a closer association. El (and therefor YHWH) had a wife, incidentally named Asherah)—amazingly the Mormons got it right for once, and we'll all get our own planet called The Battlestar Galactica, from which humans will evolve in to Cylons and found the Twelve Colonies of Man, and revert to polytheism.
Because YHWH so obviously made such a lousy cosmic protector, killing his own vassals with plagues, Hellfire and brimstone, His patron kingdoms being ground into dust by the Assyrians and whatnot, He was beefed up by a merger with El, making Him not only the particular God of the Hebrews but also THE MOST POWERFUL GOD IN THE COSMOS. It's quite clear through even a cursory reading of the Old Testament (e.g. the First Commandment) that even then the Israelites did not consider Yahweh to be the only god, merely the most important one. Needless to say that He's always mentioned in plural (Elohim), and the single-most repeated phrase in the Old Testament is, "I am the YHWH your Elohim, the El of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."
Powers and attributes
YHWH is the personal God of the Old Testament, with a human form and human temperament. This contrasts with the more spiritual Elohim, who prefers to use angels to communicate with man.
Like a particularly badly written fantasy novel with an overpowered protagonist in the vein of Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth (and to a lesser extent Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time), it's obvious that God increases in power in Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and Numbers, in ascending order, even though he created mankind when He was weak - and had mortal feet so Adam could hear when he was sneaking up on him after eating the Fruit of Good and Evil How's that for omnipotent omniscience? YHWH is a pretty nasty and smiting guy, who holds grudges. He threw Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden for eating from a tree he had told them not to eat from, and decided to curse all their descendants as well. Later this smiting guy became so powerful that a plot device that of, well, they'll think of something eventually, - right now for those who believe Judaism rather than Christianity it's just an unresolved plot thread - must be brought in to play to explain why we're not all Jews (and why the Messiah is 3500 years late.
YHWH's personal, dominating approach towards ruling was not popular and a splinter sect of Jews called "Christians" founded by a man named "Paul" elevated a man called "Jesus" to the status of "Son of God" - however without mention of Asherah, more's the loss - to attempt to solve this missing Messiah problem - and failed miserably, ending up with a book full of ten times as many contradictions as before). Of course Jesus kicked YHWH out along with most of his commandments in the early first century. The commandments Jesus said you don't have to obey don't include the ones about homosexuality and bestiality, by the way. Those pesky food laws are obsolete, however.
YHWH is perceived as male (although He's transcendent - an eunuch? - and "male and female he created them" - an hermaphrodite?), perfectly just (i.e. cruel) and perfectly merciful (i.e. bullshit), and rules usually from Heaven the Seventh (but occasionally coming down for a pint with His creations, usually in a pillar of fire and/or alien spacecraft that kills at least 5,000 Israelites). Sometimes appears as a burning bush. Such is the product of fevered desert nomads' imaginations.
You would have thought they'd have dreamed up an Oasis God instead, but he would have lived in a Champagne Supernova in the Sky (and had better music).

DURHAM, N.C. – Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC) announced today an investment of $1.7 million dedicated to improving maternal and infant health across the state. The investment will benefit Family Connects International, UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health and Nurse-Family Partnership.
The funds will support family health assistance programs in communities across the state. These programs will improve the health outcomes of children and young families in the state by educating and nurturing first-time mothers, providing wellness services for young families and supporting the Baby-Friendly designation status of local hospitals, a global recognition marking excellence in maternity services and breastfeeding resources.
Poor prenatal and postnatal care has been linked to physical, mental and emotional health complications for both the mother and child. By educating new mothers on how to properly care for their infants and effectively supporting them in the hospital before, during and after their delivery, the three organizations supported by Blue Cross NC's investment will help to prepare North Carolina mothers and their children for a healthier future.
The Family Connects model is an evidence-based nurse home visiting model offered at no cost to families with newborns in communities where it is implemented. Designed to connect families to the early childhood resources they need, the program has been shown to effectively reduce infant emergency medical care and improve maternal and infant health outcomes.
As of May 2018, Family Connects has completed over 28,197 home visits through its North Carolina service locations. About half of the total visits were located in Durham County.
Funding will support the overall budget of existing Family Connects infrastructure in North Carolina's Durham, Forsyth and Guilford counties as well as the expansion of services into rural parts of the state.
As part of its work promoting safe breastfeeding and maternity care services, Carolina Global Breastfeeding Institute at UNC-Chapel Hill will use the investment funds to support 61 North Carolina hospitals in their journeys to become Baby-Friendly, giving thousands more mothers from across the state access to high-quality post-natal care. The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative was launched by the World Health Organization and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) in 1991. To date, 500 US hospitals have achieved this designation.
The requirements for a hospital to become Baby-Friendly involve a four-step process and can cost thousands of dollars for a single hospital to complete. As a result, many capable facilities cannot afford to pursue designation, particularly if they are in rural service areas.
By achieving Baby-Friendly designation status at the anticipated 61 hospitals, approximately 76,000 babies will benefit from positive, long-term health impacts such as lowered risk of heart disease, cancer, obesity and high blood pressure as adults. Mothers who achieve their breastfeeding goals will reduce their risk of breast and ovarian cancer.
Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) improves maternal and newborn health outcomes by partnering a highly-skilled nurse with first-time mothers living in poverty until the child turns two years old. NFP mothers are 18 percent less likely to experience pre-term deliveries and experience increased likelihood to breastfeed their baby for the recommended minimum of six months. NFP currently provides services through 14 network partners across 25 counties in North Carolina.
By providing high-quality care and education to the families of newborns in poverty, NFP programs help break the cycle of poverty and increase the likelihood of long-term positive health impacts.
Funds will support infrastructure development for future expansion of NFP's nurse home visiting programs into rural North Carolina. Increasing the NFP service area will improve access to care for mothers and infants most at risk for poor health outcomes.
Family Connects International (FCI) aims to improve the health and well-being of children and families at the population level and transform systems of care. Housed at Duke University, this program engages in innovative research and evaluation, as well as health policy. FCI trains registered nurses who visit families in the early weeks after the birth of a baby, providing health check-ups, comprehensive assessments and linkages to needed resources. FCI works in partnership with local and state governments, health-care systems and nonprofit organizations to align resources and to plan and implement the Family Connects model in communities across the country.
The Carolina Global Breastfeeding Institute, housed within the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, promotes increased quality of care and aims to create an optimal breastfeeding norm through research, service and training. CGBI's comprehensive approach prioritizes the reproductive health continuum, an intergenerational approach, and the "Three B's" (birth, breastfeeding and birth spacing). As the top-ranked public school of public health and #2 among all schools of public health, the Gillings School aims to improve public health, promote individual well-being and eliminate health inequities across North Carolina and around the world.
Nurse-Family Partnership changes the future for the most vulnerable babies born into poverty by giving a first-time mom trusted support from her own personal nurse throughout the first 1,000 days, from pregnancy until her child's second birthday. Participation is free and voluntary for the mother. Nurse-Family Partnership is headquartered in Denver, Colorado. Visit Nurse-Family Partnership online at www.nursefamilypartnership.org.

Packers Have Lost Their Star Power
I've always enjoyed checking the league statistics in mid-week to see how the Green Bay Packers' stars are doing in comparison to others in the league. Aaron Rodgers, of course, has been at or near the top of the QB rankings for years. Clay Matthews used to regularly be among the top five or 10 players on the sacks list. Jordy Nelson's stats were often right up there with the other top receivers in the league.
Following individual player stats is not as enjoyable for Packers fans this year.
Among NFL quarterbacks, Rodgers is 19th in passing yards per game. Due to his last three outings, however, he has climbed up to 11th place in passer rating.
Looking at the rushers, Eddie Lacy (remember him?) is somehow still 23rd in rushing yardage. Ty Montgomery is 90th and James Starks is 111th, but the Packers do have the 54th best rusher in the league — that Rodgers guy again.
The Packers have also come upon hard times in the receiving yardage rankings. Davante Adams is in 37th place, Jordy Nelson is in 41st, and Randall Cobb is in 50th.
On the defensive side, Jake Ryan is tied for 46th, Blake Martinez is tied for 69th, Morgan Burnett is tied for 74th, and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is tied for 121st in tackles. The last ranking is quite a disappointment, as Clinton-Dix was supposed to be destined for stardom. I also had predicted that Martinez would be a "tackling machine" for the Packers – but so far his 40 tackles (solo and assists) is fewer than I had hoped, but he's young and has time to continue to develop.
The Packers' sack leader is tied for 13th among his peers – but instead of the usual names, it's Nick Perry. Julius Peppers is tied for 38th and Clay Matthews is tied for 46th.
That leaves us with interceptions. We're almost halfway through the season and no Packers player has more than one interception. Damarious Randall, Joe Thomas, Burnett, Perry, and Martinez are tied with 93 others in 37th place. Worse yet, Casey Hayward, who left the Packers and joined the Chargers in March, has only one fewer pick than does his entire former team!
Things aren't much better in various other categories. Jacob Schum is 31st in punting average. Montgomery is tied for 23rd in kickoff return average. Trevor Davis is one bright spot, as he is fifth best in punt return yardage. However, that's based on only six returns, and is mostly due to his 55-yard return against Atlanta, which makes his ranking totally misleading.
After drafting no higher than 21st over the last nine years, the Packers have not been in a position for quite a while to select any near-sure-fire stars. Among their first draft picks that have worked out the best in the last decade are Clay Matthews (No. 23 in 2010) and Jordy Nelson (No. 36 in 2008 – they had no first round choice that year). Nor can I think of any diamonds in the rough, or lower round draft choices, who are considered to be near the top of their profession at their position, though Mike Daniels (132nd overall, 4th round, in 2012) is knocking at that door.
The current Packers' roster is for the most part solid, but there are few players who are – or appear on their way to becoming – true NFL stars.
Until a year and a half ago, Aaron Rodgers was the brightest star in the NFL firmament. The last three games suggest that his star is once again ascending.
This little meander about Green Bay's current star power quotient serves as a reminder, not a revelation, that Aaron Rodgers has carried this team on his back for close to a decade now. The prospect – regardless of the other 52 players on the roster – is that the team will continue to prosper or fail based on the quality of his play for another five years or more.

Proves that Ted's way is severely flawed. You want a real blueprint for success look at The New England Patriots.
Thank you for the truth of the last paragraph. i've said that in here for years. This team will rise or fall on the arm of Aaron Rodgers. Much like TT and MM's job security.
We can all piss and moan when Rodgers isn't his usual God-like self. But rest assured my Packer friends. There will be a day, not in the too distant future, Where we will be in desperation mode, looking for our next Aaron Rodgers at QB.
The only solace will be McCarthy and Thompson will not be the ones doing the looking.

The Packers had the heir-apparent to the throne. Then they let him get away.
The day will come when Packers fans the world over rue the day Fightin' Joe Callahan was released.
I just don't get how people can crown some back up QB's as if they were going to be a future franchise QB, without taking a snap in a regular season NFL game. Whether it's Hundley, Callahan, or whoever, It's cool to like a player, i like Callahan, Hundley and Tolzien. but until you do it in the regular season, you haven't done anything. The Saints let Callahan go after a week, now the Browns signed him. I will say good luck to Callahan, i'd like to watch him be the Browns starting QB. But i say this, if you can't be a starting QB for the fucking Browns, you sure as shit weren't gonna be Aaron Rodgers heir-apparent.

The day is here…
One thing on the quantity of tackles that needs to be considered is, the Packer defense has been on the field the fewest plays per game of any team in the NFL. Your tackle quantity will reduce with fewer plays, and you don't want your safeties making a lot of tackles. It can indicate a poor front 4 or 7. The ints. Need to go up no question, however the corner injury situation has not helped in individual int. stats. The D is 12th in sacks, however 7 of the teams with more sacks have played 1 and in the case of Atlanta 2 games more than the packers. Again corner injuries have reduced blitzes. That also reduces potential sacks.
Some of the Packer D stats (7th in league) have a lot to do with the offense being efficient in 3rd down conversion and time of possession. The Packer D is also #2 in the league in stopping the other teams third down conversions. The bad stat to me for the D is they are, I believe 18th in yards per play allowed. The D needs to tighten up the big plays allowed. Bottom line is I would rather the team play like a team in all phases. Player stats are great for inflated contracts. In the end It really is about how the entire group functions as a team.
Kudos on understanding that defensive backs having a lot of tackles isn't a positive stat necessarily .
Also the time of possession is also dependant and has direct correlation to the other side of the team's performance, whether offense or defense.
At the end of the day, the real defensive stat that matters, is points given up per game. If your defense is giving up less than 19 ppg, you have a tier 1 defense. The Packers defense in 1996 gave up 13.1 ppg. In 2010 the defense gave up 15 ppg.
For comparison sake, the 1985 Bears gave up 12.4 ppg. While the 2000 Ravens hold the NFL record in a 16 game season at 10.3 ppg. Which explains how Trent Dilfer became a Super Bowl winning QB.
Howard you should be the writer in this column..Rob Born indicates he has been watching Packer games since 1958… his knowledge of football must be minimal at best.. Any halfwit short of being legally blind& watching Packers games…would see that Coaches are keeping Clinton Dix deep to help the Corners in pass coverage.. due to injuries to "experienced Starters" Clinton Dix .. if Clinton Dix was asked to go Down in the box more often as his did his 1st two seasons. His stats would not been comparable or better than his Stats from
Last season,leading the team in tackles &getting several interceptions… Mr Born,the writer of this article would do himself as well as the Readers of his articles..a world of good,by not it making a Beeline to an NFL Stat sheetthen immediately flying to his laptop and start spreading this type of nonsense on the internet to see how
Many hits he Will get …a good writer does a little research prior to throwing this "Stats down" Crap on the walls to see what will stick & being critical of players Players.. without watching game film or listing to what the Safeties Coach Darren Perry & Head Coach is stating on a weekly basis about How they're utilizing Clinton Dix this Season "out of necessity "due to the many
injuries.. Don't worry about Clinton Dix he is ok now and as he said in a recent interview.. He would prefer to be in a position to help the team as a team player as opposed to running to his stat sheet after every game.. so Mr Born please go to your film room if you have and watch some ofthe film on each of this Seasons games…and youmsy want to try try speaking to some of the coaches since it's apparent you don't know what's happening on the field … you can do better than metely attempting to get hit on your articles with this nonsense
This Season …
Rob's articles are fine. He's a stat's guy, he writes about what he researches. As far as i can tell Rob is stand up Packer fan who doesn't need to use gossip articles as a crutch. If for some reason Rob's articles aren't up to your lofty standard of what you deem to be readable content, may i suggest just not reading his articles.
I really enjoy Robs articles
Rob really does a great job of in his articles. When it comes to stats and individual workout numbers, I trust Rob has looked into them and is giving them to us straight. The problem with stats and workout numbers is what they appear to be some of the times is not what they really are. They do not show injuries, other teammates performances, etc. I prefer to stay with the team stats but everyone has their own opinion and it does not necessarily make their opinion wrong or right. It just provides another idea or theory that others may or may not consider. GO PACK!!!
Icebowler says:
Just tell me who has the most "missed" tackles!
I'm having a really hard time typing comments on this particular site. I don't have any problems on any others. I've had to resort to typing my comments on Notepad and then pasting them into Total Packers. Is any one else having this problem?
I had a problem until i used adblocker. It was seriously bad.
No probs here…
The current Packer regime (Murphy, Thompson, McCarthy, Rodgers, Mathews etc) has reached and passed "peak Packers" a few years ago. They won't do any appreciable damage in the playoffs for many more years and until many organizational changes have taken place. As a season ticket holder, the fervor I once held for this team has been steadily reduced to a tiny fraction of what it was. Maybe it's the incessant marketing,
the blathering about the blatant money-grab they are calling the "Titletown District." The enthusiasm I once had for the Packers and NFL football is at its lowest ebb.
MR says:
Reminds me of the 1980s looking up stats in the newspaper to see James Lofton at the top for receiving yards and ypc
One of the few things to look forward to back in the day.
Man, if only those teams had a defense. They could score almost at will.
And losing to the Bears ..


Veteran defensive lineman Cory Redding retired from the NFL today.
The former University of Texas standout has played in the league since 2003.
Cut by the Arizona Cardinals in March, Redding had an interception last season against the Detroit Lions.
Redding is a former Detroit Lions third-round draft pick.
He played for the Seattle Seahawks, Baltimore Ravens and Indianapolis Colts.

PRESS ROOM: Clark Atlanta University Hosts Mandela Washington Fellowship for Sixth Consecutive Year
MINNESOTA SPOKESMAN-RECORDER — Prior to 1923, cheerleading had been an exclusively White male activity. That year, the University of Minnesota (U of M) became the first school in America to allow female cheerleaders. It remained an all-White activity there, however, until Dana Purdue Williams became the first African American cheerleader at the U of M in 1975.
Ken Foxworth
By Ken Foxworth
Two trailblazing cheerleaders were recognized at St. Peter's Church in Minneapolis: (l-r) Harriet Bowman Solomon, Gwendolyn Morrow Fraction; Rev. Carla Mitchell, pastor of St. Peter's; and former Minneapolis Public Schools.superintendent Dr. Carolyn Johnson.
Few people realize that not only did women athletes cheerleading at sporting events originate right here in Minnesota, but also several strong African American women made Black history here by breaking the cheerleading color barrier.
Prior to 1923, cheerleading had been an exclusively White male activity. That year, the University of Minnesota (U of M) became the first school in America to allow female cheerleaders. It remained an all-White activity there, however, until Dana Purdue Williams became the first African American cheerleader at the U of M in 1975.
Below are Williams' story and two other earlier cheerleading firsts that inspired her to pursue her own dream.
Gwendolyn Morrow Fraction
A 1950 Minneapolis North High School graduate, Fraction became in 1949 the first African American cheerleader in the state of Minnesota. Upon graduation, she worked for Northwestern Bell and in banking, insurance, and accounting. At age 85, Fraction still volunteers in the community and is known for her beautiful voice.
Following in her mother's footsteps, Fraction's daughter Cindy became a cheerleader for Washburn High School, graduated in 1983, and is now program director of research at the University of St. Thomas.
Harriet Bowman Solomon
A 1951 Central High School graduate, Solomon watched her brothers play football and other extracurricular activities. Her brother Earl Wesley Bowman attended college on a football scholarship, played baseball at a major university, played semi-pro football, and became the first African American president of Minneapolis Community College. Her other brother, Henry Bowman, was a member of the Tuskegee Airmen as well as a Big 10 regional player.
Harriet wanted to establish her own legacy and accomplished this through cheerleading. She was the first African American cheerleader at Minneapolis Central High in 1950 and later worked for Northwestern Bell. After retirement in 1995, she volunteered at McRae Park.
Edward C. Soloman Park near Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis was named after Harriet's husband for his outstanding contribution to the Minneapolis park system as a board member and a volunteer at McRae Park
Dana Purdue Williams
This 1975 Washburn High School graduate who went on to become the U of M's first Black cheerleader says that at an early age she watched her mother, Harriet Bowman Solomon, cheerleading in the kitchen, living room, or anywhere else where she had space and a chance. She also watched her best friend Gwendolyn Morrow Fraction doing the same, all while having fun.
MSR News Online/MSR News Online Dana Purdue Williams as a U of M cheerleader in 1975
Williams recalls her mother enrolling her in ballet classes at the tender age of six. At age 10 she attended the Minnesota Dance Theater children's workshop, where she became an apprentice and mastered the program by age 15.
She thought all of that experience and her mom's example put her in position to make Minnesota Gopher history. "When I saw the 1975 tryout poster for the University of Minnesota cheerleading squad," Williams says, "I truly knew that I was ready to go complete. I saw myself being a Gopher cheerleader at the age of seven. I planned this all my life, and no one was going to stop me from pursuing my dream!"
As Williams took her inspiration from predecessors Fraction and Solomon, so did she take their career advice, becoming a flight attendant for 40 years at Delta/Northwest Orient Airlines. She now works as an ambassador for Delta Airlines, visiting their headquarters in Atlanta, GA to inspire and motivate future flight attendants to be all that they can be for the customers and the company.
Williams has also has been giving back to her community through the years by helping young inner-city girls and working with football camps at McRae Park in South Minneapolis.
Cheerleading history's importance
The most important thing in sports is not just the games and their players — it's the fans and their enthusiasm that makes the games so wonderful. And who is it that gets the fans yelling themselves raw cheering on their teams to victory? That's what the cheerleaders do, though rarely do they get credited for their athletic contributions to the sports world.
Not so long ago, cheerleading was the only opportunity for girls to be seen and heard as athletes at their schools, colleges and universities. Before the Title IX federal civil rights law came into effect in 1973, girls did not have the same opportunities as boys to develop their skills in sports. The only thing they could do was to go out on that field and cheer on their team.
Fraction, Solomon and Williams all made important strides for Black women athletes between 1949 and 1975. Thanks to them and many others like them, girls around the Twin Cities can now aspire not only to become cheerleaders in high school and their respective universities and colleges. Now they can aspire to compete as athletes in any sport that captures their dreams.
