Remembering A 'Babe' Sports Fans Shouldn't Forget
In 2000, Sports Illustrated named its 100 top athletes of the 20th century. There are names you no doubt are familiar with Babe Ruth, Muhammad Ali, and of course Michael Jordan. She is the only woman in the top 10.
In the 1920s and 30s, Babe Didrikson proved a girl could be a phenomenal all around athlete. Women's Open championships before she died of cancer when she was only 45. This weekend, Babe Didrikson would be 100 years old. has written a new book about the life of Babe Didrikson called Wonder Girl: The Magnificent Sporting Life of Babe Didrikson Zaharias. He tells NPR's Rachel Martin that Babe "excelled at every sport she tried to play."
Little Girl, Big Dreams
Babe Didrikson grew up in a poor family in Beaumont, Texas, where she was often seen running around the neighborhood barefoot, causing mischief when she wasn't playing sports with the local boys and girls.
"Around the age of 12 or 13 she became aware of the Olympics and she declared she was going to become the greatest athlete of all time. She didn't say woman athlete, she just said greatest athlete."
Even though Babe wasn't concerned with the gender and class issues of the time, she soon learned that women copy Van Cleef & Arpels gold diamond pendant were not supposed to play sports, and she would have to get a job with a business to play professionally for their team.
So Babe left high school to work for a company called Employers Casualty Insurance and play for their basketball team, the Golden Cyclones.
Most companies that had these types of women's athletic teams would send over a dozen girls to national competitions, but McCombs knew that sending Babe alone replica Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra necklace would draw unprecedented publicity and he truly believed Babe could win the national championship on her own.
He was right.
"Babe Didrikson won five events [broad jump, baseball throw, shot put, javelin, and 80 meter hurdles] within three hours and single handedly won the national track championship."
In the process, she qualified for three Olympic events: the 80 meter hurdles, high jump and javelin.
An Ego The Size of Texas
Babe Didrikson knew she was good, and she wasn't afraid to brag. Van Natta says her self confidence sometimes upset her teammates.
"She would show up and say, you know, who's going to come in second today, Babe is here! And that over confidence really, she was a pain in the neck I think intimidated many of her opponents throughout her career and really worked in her favor."
The more championships Babe won the more her confidence grew. But after Babe won two gold medals and one silver medal for track and field in the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics, the press turned on her and began to question her gender.
"It was all men writing nasty things about her (.) and it really did get under her skin. It bothered her a lot but she dug in and just kept at it."
Babe did eventually fall in love and get married to George Zaharias, who was a professional wrestler known popularly as "The Crying Greek from Cripple Creek."

Golfer Marilynn Smith On 'Babe' Didrikson Zaharias
A Golf Swing With A Twist
It wasn't until Babe was 21 that she started seriously playing golf the sport she is best remembered for today. Opens.
Babe liked to tell people she was a natural, but that wasn't entirely true.
Van Natta says Babe was a bit of a con artist; "She really knew how to turn on members of the press core with almost a fairy tale story."
"For instance, she would go out and shoot an 80 on the golf course [then] would tell the Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra diamond bracelet replica reporters that she shot a 71 or a 72. And she would justify it by saying well they don't want to hear I shot an 80, they want to hear I shot a 71. And the press bought it."
Prologue: Matinee at the Palace
They began lining up for the early matinee at the Palace Theater not long after dawn. Blazing in block letters on the theater's marquee were the names Fifi D'Orsay, a B movie actress usually cast as a saucy French girl, and a musical group called Bob Murphy and the California Collegians. But no one had scrambled out of bed on a frosty Chicago winter morning for them. No, the people had come to witness the unlikeliest of vaudeville debuts, the invitation glowing high atop the theater's marquee: "babe" Didrikson in person world's greatest woman athlete. High above the Palace roof, a single gigantic word babe shimmered in golden lights, an electric carnival barker shouting the name into the sky.
It was January 27, 1933, and the people had come to find out the answer to a peculiar question: Is there anything Babe Didrikson cannot do? Practically every sports fan in America could recite the highlights of Babe's all sport resume: how she could run fast and far and jump high and long. They knew she could throw a nasty curveball and smash a baseball into the next county. They knew she was an all American basketball player, outfoxing defenders with quickness and guile, head fakes, and stutter steps. She could swim with speed and endurance, scamper across a gridiron wearing pads and a helmet, and outhit and outwit the sharpest billiards hustlers. They knew Babe had stormed her way into the worldwide sports pantheon at the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, winning two gold medals and a silver medal while etching her name in the record books.

The Argentinian is known as a very reserved character but has told Spanish radio he is now happy in the country, despite reservations about his Primera Liga future when Van Gaal was at the Barca helm.
"I wanted to return to Argentina," he said, explaining his reaction after his copy van cleef jewelry first meeting with the former Holland coach.
"The truth is that he was not very nice and after hearing him I thought about going back to Argentina as soon as possible.
"I went there (to Barcelona) with the intention of staying five years but I stayed only one. But we have a good team here at Villarreal with good signings and a good trainer."
At Villarreal, Riquelme has been given bracelet van cleef replica his preferred role of playmaker, and one that was never granted him at Barca.
"I would like to thank the players that look to me to assume bracelet van cleef and arpels copy responsibility, and at Barca it did not happen. Very strange things happened at Barca," he added.
"I am very grateful to (Barca president) Joan Laporta for giving me the open door next year for me to decide my future, but now I am thinking only of Villarreal."

s wilderness runs into roadblocks
It snakes through Vancouver Island interior, a 700 kilometre wilderness hike stretching from Victoria up to windswept Cape Scott at the Island northern tip.
Little more than one metre wide in some places, the Spine Trail winds through dense forest, past lakes and over rushing streams.
Volunteers cut new trails through the Island inland forest to link parks, historic railroad beds and trestles plus trails used by pioneers and First Nations people. Small communities dot the proposed path, so hikers can resupply during a month long trek that would be almost 10 times longer than the iconic West Coast Trail that hugs the west coast.

Trail is envisioned as a global tourist attraction similar to Spain famed Camino de Santiago or the Appalachian Trail that stretches up the eastern United States from Georgia to Maine.
But that vision is in peril. The route is blocked in five locations where it must pass through lands owned by a handful of forest companies, according to bracelet van cleef and arpels replica VISTA. has stopped stocking 30 lakes with fish many of them on Crown land because anglers can no longer get access to them, says society president Ken Sawayma. Jarvis and Weekes Lakes near Sooke and Timberland, Crystal and MacKay Lakes near Cassidy were used regularly by anglers, until road access was gated.
When locks appeared on access roads to popular fishing lakes on the Douglas Lake Ranch in the late 1980s, it touched off a dispute that smoulders to this day. Wildlife Federation.
Island Timberlands charges fees for access to land used by hikers to get to Mt. Arrowsmith near Port Alberni, according to the white paper.
One such detour advocated by landholder TimberWest would add a 50 kilometre diversion toward the West Coast of the island, says Parker.
these companies want to make money from logging these lands, they have a social obligation to the people who live here, he says.
Forest companies cite liability issues and safety concerns where active logging takes place for their reluctance to grant access to their property. Private landowners often put up with vandalism, illegal dumping and irresponsible use of firearms, according to TimberWest.
(Spine) trail proposal to TimberWest included unlimited permission and access to the general public without supervision, over unlimited and undeterminable dates, as well as unlimited access for a range of motorized vehicles all of which represent safety concerns, says TimberWest spokeswoman Monica Bailey.
The so called Right to Roam is similarly enshrined in many northern European nations. In Canada, only Nova Scotia protects the right of people to cross uncultivated private land to reach fishing lakes and streams.
Conservationists worry that locking people out of the backcountry will accelerate the decline of conservation and environmental advocacy.
British Columbia legislators flirted with the idea of legislated access rights in the early 1960s, but abandoned the plan when forest companies agreed to grant broader access to private land.

Mike Babcock paying close attention to Leafs veterans
Mike Babcock acknowledged on Thursday that in his days with the always playoff bound Detroit Red Wings, he often didn pay much attention to veteran players during training camp.
For those players, there was minimal need. They understood how Babcock wanted them to play and when the puck dropped for real, invariably they were ready.
The older and more established players on the Leafs roster are afforded no such luxury, however. A reality that is readily apparent the deeper we move into training camp.
With the opener of the regular season just five days away, Babcock once again rolled out a new set of forward lines and defensive combinations on Thursday as he searches for something that works. That, we surmise, will be a season long exercise.
when you been nine or 10 years in one spot, you not worried about (veterans), Babcock said following two practice sessions Thursday at the MasterCard Centre in Etobicoke. when you come to a new place, you don know who they van white gold alhambra necklace replica are. They got to get going. So that up to them and up to me. no player has seen it more than centre Tyler Bozak. With his long time winger, Phil Kessel, gone, Bozak has had a variety of wingers during camp as Babcock tinkers with a tenuous top six forward group.
think (the coaching staff) are trying to find a combination that works, Bozak said on Thursday. haven played that well yet. It just moving guys in and out of different spots and seeing where they can find the best chemistry and the three guys that work together.
got two more pre season games (Friday in Detroit, Saturday at home to the Wings) so we got two more chances to get better before the regular season. Thursday, Bozak was between Joffrey Lupul and Shawn Matthias (with some rushes including Michael Grabner) while Nazem Kadri centred James van Riemsdyk and Daniel Winnik.
And how about the blue line presentation? Captain Dion Phaneuf was with Stephane Robidas while Morgan Rielly was paired with Roman Polak and Jake Gardiner alongside Scott Harrington.
Babcock said he wasn questioning the effort of players, which speaks to the depth of the challenge he is facing in season one of an eight year deal.
isn one guy here who is not trying, Babcock said. under the pressure, under the gun, they always gone back to who they are. Who you are has to (have) winning habits. It got to be over and over and over again. I spend half my time explaining the drill instead of teaching. Once they where to go, then we can teach them more.
spend half my time explaining the drill instead of teaching. to go and alhambra necklace imitation how to get there has been a work in progress, as you would expect it to be. Babcock system and structure demands aren necessarily difficult and complicated, but it has been delivered rapid fired during practices and with high expectations.
have to be ready in the morning for practice or you are going to stick out like a sore thumb, Bozak said. a lot of information, a different style than we played here. Obviously, as we have seen, it does work when everybody on the same page.
you play a certain style that is prone to winning, as he has shown, it obviously going to take some time to learn and master. But I think when we get it down, we going to be a lot better team. Babcock has sympathy to the learning curve, it is only to a point. What bothers him most about the struggles over the past two pre season games in which the Leafs have been shut out is sloppiness that has nothing to do with structure.
can play if you going to turn pucks over, Babcock said. a hard, heavy game in the National Hockey League and if you play right, you have a chance to have success. If your shifts are 10 miles long, you not going to have any success because the other team fresh and you worn out.
got too play 40 seconds or less and you got to play hard. TAKING PRESSURE OFF LEAFS
He may be a new resident of Toronto, but Leafs coach Mike Babcock has caught a strain of Blue Jays fever.
It may not be for the reasons that you think, however.
When he coached in Detroit and the Tigers went on a run, he saw less attention played to his Red Wings. While it tough to slip under the radar in Toronto, Babcock figures that if the Jays take a little heat off his team early in the season, it won be a bad thing.
want (the Jays) on a long run so that we can get playing good before people start watching us, Babcock said. it exciting. I was in Detroit when (the Tigers) had great runs in the playoffs. All that does is keep the heat off the Red Wings. there is less attention on the Leafs this fall than in any recent training camp, that may be wishful thinking for Babcock. Many eyes will be on the new coach next week in what will be a wild week for Toronto sports fans with Jays home games Thursday and Friday and Leafs home contests Wednesday and Saturday.

SSI chief executive, and Thrive founding director, Violet Roumeliotis told SBS News her organisation originally started a highly successful program called Ignite, which helped refugees navigate the legal and logistical hurdles to opening their own businesses.
"We had over 200 refugees go through the program and almost 30 businesses set up," she said.
She said many refugees had had businesses in their home countries and knew how to run a businesses, but needed to local knowledge to understand Australian business law and regulations.
The program helped refugees work through key processes like getting Australian business numbers and setting things up with the tax office, but it also identified a common problem.
"The biggest gap we found was the capital people needed," Ms Roumeliotis said.
"Because they hadn't been in the country for a long time when they were trying to access funds that were not available to them.
"Also, a lot of them come from countries where families were their support and would lend them money, like Muslim families who are not meant to have loans."
Mr Curtis told SBS News he and his wife had wanted to find a way to change the conversation about refugees and show the good they did in the community.
"Refugees historically in Australia have made a great contribution," he said.
He said the micro financing loans would be up to $20,000 and would be on average about $10,000 to $12,000.
"It could be working capital, it could be to buy a van, it could be to help them in their marketing, it could be for stock, it could for any number of business related reason that would help them grow their business or start their business."
Mr Curtis said the micro financing would be provided as a loan with an interest rate of about 10 per cent and would be repaid, depending on the circumstances of the business, within about three years.
Applicants would be referred from organisations that work with refugees like SSI, he said, and would also be given access to business mentors.
Thrive will begin in NSW and the board plans to eventually expand it across Australia.
"[In a 12 month period] we would be talking maybe around 100 loans, that would be a target to get," he said.
Mr Curtis said once the micro loan was paid off the business owner would have a credit history and would be able to get a foot hold in the traditional baking system.
MsRoumeliotis said many refugees wanted to open their own businesses to gain some control over their own lives and to give back to the community.
"Many of them have lived in countries where there is no welfare state and you need to be enterprising van cleef vintage alhambra necklace imitation if you don't have a job replica van cleef gold clover necklace somewhere, you make your own job," she said.
"They can control and make their own living."
She said many refugees "ran successful business in their own countries", unlike the typical belief that all refugees were unskilled or low skilled workers.
"Quite often people have multiple skills and ran their own business and they want to replicate that here and they don't want to wait, they have the passion, they have the skills, the have the know all."
She said refugees often hired other refugees in their communities to ensure they were able to give other people opportunities.
Iranian refugee Arash Bordbar, 23, arrived clover necklace van cleef knock off in Australia with his mother and younger brother in June 2015.
He had escaped Iran and spent six years living in Malaysia as a refugee before being chosen to come to Australia.
Mr Bordbar, who is studying engineering at university, told SBS News both he and his mother wanted to start their own businesses.
"When I finished my studies I want to be involved in engineering, but I also want to look at following my passion," he said.
It's the micro finance organisation that could provide a major lift for new Australian entrepreneurs and they're doing it without any government support.

Firefighters worked for 45 minutes to extinguish the blaze, during which time the roadway was shut down completely. There were sporadic lane closures throughout the morning as crews worked to clean up fake van cleef diamond necklace the debris.

Nevada polls find Clinton far ahead
(CNN)With Hillary Clinton behind in New Hampshire and holding on to a narrowing margin over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in Iowa, new CNN/ORC polls in Nevada and South Carolina suggest Clinton holds strong support in the two states that could prove to be a firewall for her.
Clinton has the support of 50% of those who say they are likely to attend the Democratic caucus scheduled for February 20 in Nevada which plays host to the first debate among the declared Democratic candidates on Tuesday and is the first state to elect delegates after Iowa and New Hampshire.
Clinton looks on as her husband discusses the Monica Lewinsky scandal in the Roosevelt Room of the White House on January 26, 1998. Van Cleef & Arpels Clover necklace replica Clinton declared, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." In August of that year, Clinton testified before a grand jury and admitted to having "inappropriate intimate contact" with Lewinsky, but he said fake van cleef diamond necklace it did not constitute sexual relations because they had not had intercourse. He was impeached in December on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice.

In 2015, The New York Times reported that Clinton exclusively used a personal email account during her time as secretary of state. The account, fed through its own server, raises security and preservation concerns. Clinton later said she used a private domain out of "convenience," but admits in retrospect "it would have been better" to use multiple emails.

Should Biden decide to sit out the race for the presidency, Clinton's lead grows in both states. In South Carolina, a Biden free race currently stands at 70% Clinton to 20% Sanders with O'Malley holding at 3%, and in Nevada, Clinton gains 8 points to 58%, while Sanders picks up just 2 points and would stand at 36%.
In South Carolina, Clinton's advantages stem largely from Sanders' unpopularity with black voters, who made up replica van cleef necklace a majority of Democratic primary voters in the state in 2008, the last time there was a competitive Democratic primary. Back then, black voters broke 78% for Barack Obama to 19% for Clinton.
In the new poll, 59% of black voters say they back Clinton, 27% say Biden and just 4% for Sanders. Among white voters, Sanders has the edge, 44% to 31% for Clinton and 22% for Biden. Without Biden in the race, it's a near even split among whites, 48% Clinton to 47% Sanders, while blacks break 84% to Clinton and just 7% would back Sanders.
These two states, along with Iowa and New Hampshire, are the only ones permitted by both major parties to hold primaries or caucuses in February, and the outcome of the contests in these early states can make or break a presidential campaign.
Iowa's caucuses will happen first, and a recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll in the state finds Clinton 11 points ahead of Sanders there, a narrower margin than she holds in most national polling. New Hampshire's primary follows, and several recent polls there, including a CNN/WMUR poll released in September, have found Clinton trailing Sanders by a significant margin in the state.
Clinton's stronger support in Nevada and South Carolina could bolster her campaign heading in to the large batch of "Super Tuesday" contests set to be held on March 1.
In both Nevada and South Carolina, Clinton holds double digit advantages as the candidate who would do the best job handling the economy, health care, race relations, foreign policy and climate change, and is broadly seen as the candidate with the best chance to win in 2016 (58% say so in South Carolina, 59% in Nevada).

Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas has made a name for himself in the Senate, solidifying his brand as a conservative firebrand willing to take on the GOP's establishment. He announced he was seeking the Republican presidential nomination in a speech on March 23.
"These are all of our stories," Cruz told the audience at Liberty University in Virginia. "These are who we are as Americans. And yet for so many Americans, the promise of America seems more and more distant."

The margins between Clinton and Sanders narrow when it comes to which candidate is most honest and trustworthy (in South Carolina, 35% say Clinton, 27% Biden, 21% Sanders, in Nevada, 33% Sanders, 32% Clinton and 22% Biden), and in Nevada, on who best represents Democratic values (44% say Clinton, 37% Sanders) and understands the problems facing people like you (42% Clinton, 39% Sanders).
The four other candidates tested in the polls former Rhode Island governor Lincoln Chafee, Harvard professor Larry Lessig, O'Malley and former Virginia senator Jim Webb lag well behind Clinton, Sanders and Biden on the issues and attributes tested. None of them top 3% on any of those questions.

The play didn't actually result in a goal, but came pretty close, another demonstration of the ease with which the NHL seems to be coming to Maple Leafs rookie Mitch Marner.
It was late in the second period Saturday evening when Marner circled the Washington goal with puck in tow, cut back through the slot to where he started and then whipped a pass across the ice to Tyler Bozak, his attempt denied by reigning Vezina Trophy winner Braden Holtby. Marner had his eyes up the whole way, scanning the ice for opportunities, not bothered seemingly by Marcus Johansson, the Capitals winger trailing on the play.
"When you see him start wheeling the zone like that and going for a full lap you know it's a confident player," said linemate James van Riemsdyk.
Marner had already set up two Toronto van cleef and arpels alhambra necklace replica goals at that point, vaulting into a share of first in the rookie scoring race while helping the Leafs end a three game losing streak. The 19 year old, now with 18 points, has matched Winnipeg Jets' sensation Patrik Laine for first among rookies, also tied with van Riemsdyk for the Leafs' scoring lead.
Marner leads all NHL rookies with 14 even strength points, boasting six multi point outings in his first 21 NHL games.
His first point of the evening against Washington was a savvy find of veteran winger Matt Martin. Digging the puck out along the wall in the Toronto end Marner then fired a dart from one blue line to the other, Martin slipping behind the Washington defence before beating Holtby for his second goal in as many games. A star for three seasons with the London Knights, Marner has long been compared to another former Knight, Patrick Kane, an equally shifty winger who won the Hart and Art Ross trophies last year.
A then 19 year old Kane also emerged as the 2008 Calder trophy winner, scoring 21 goals and 72 points as a rookie for the Chicago Blackhawks. Marner is currently on pace for 27 goals and 70 points in his first season, a strong knock off van cleef and arpels diamond necklace early contender for the top rookie award.
"Obviously [Marner] is just getting his feet wet now and there's room for him to grow," said van Riemsdyk, a teammate of Kane with American teams internationally, including the 2014 Olympics and more recently the World Cup of Hockey. "But his upside and potential is huge and you definitely see some of those similar tendencies: a little bit of poise, that ability to hold the puck the extra second to make that great play.
"He's a guy who loves the game and he works really hard at it so the sky's the limit for him."
Toronto had dropped its previous three games, all by a goal, before rising to beat the Capitals. Additionally crucial in the club's eighth home victory in 11 tries this season (8 3 0) was the play of No. 1 goaltender Frederik Andersen and a group charged with slowing down Alex Ovechkin and some of the more dangerous Washington players.
Andersen was perfect for the first 49 minutes, beaten twice ultimately on 35 shots. He made maybe his best stop of the game near the midway point of the final period, stretching to snatch John Carlson's attempt with his glove. The Capitals defenceman appeared to have an open cage to shoot at.
Andersen improved to 7 4 0 in November with a .931 save percentage.
His efforts helped the Leafs hold onto a third period lead, a struggle at points this season, including on Wednesday night when the Devils rallied to beat them 5 4 in a shootout. Toronto has dropped a league worst five games when leading after 40 minutes, now 8 1 4 as November nears its end.

McLaren drive for Stoffel Vandoorne is big step up
Jenson Button has warned his McLaren replacement Stoffel Vandoorne that driving in Formula 1 alongside Fernando Alonso is a huge step up .
Vandoorne has been a serial winner through the junior categories, sealing a sensational GP2 title last year, and has rewarded with a much anticipated promotion for 2017.

"He's learned so much but it's a difficult role to be a driver for McLaren one of the biggest teams in the world with so much history he's alongside Fernando Alonso so it's tough."
