Van Persie strikes as United edge Fulham 3
The shade of the shirt may have changed but Robin van Persie remains a red hot Dutch master after marking his first Manchester United hermes H bag replica start with a goal in a 3 2 Premier League win over Fulham on Saturday.
Having swapped the crimson of Arsenal for the red checks of United's new home jersey, the 24 million pound ($38 million) man dug United out of an early hole by firing in a trademark volley on 10 minutes to cancel out Damien Duff's well worked opener.
Japan's Shinji Kagawa also scored on his home debut, the former Borussia Dortmund midfielder tapping in after Mark Schwarzer had spilled Tom Cleverley's shot.
Right back Rafael soon had the ball in the net again but was foiled by the offside flag only to head in the third with a rare goal on 41 minutes, the home side's rapid comeback witnessed by speed king and big United fan Usain Bolt.
Fulham pulled one back in the second half through a bizarre Nemanja Vidic own goal to prompt a very nervy finish for cavalier United, who had Wayne Rooney carried off on a stretcher with a nasty wound.
Van Persie was a substitute for United's opening 1 0 loss at Everton last Monday but this time it was the turn of expected strike partner Rooney to surprisingly start on the bench just two games into the season.
Everton built on Monday's win with a 3 1 romp at Aston Villa and another headed goal from Marouane Fellaini, although Villa goalkeeper Shay Given should have done better.
South Africa's Steven Pienaar had given the flying Liverpool side an early lead with a rocket from distance and Nikica Jelavic added to Fellaini's second to put pressure on new Villa boss Paul Lambert after an opening loss to West Ham United.
Rampant Swansea City also made it two wins out of two to lead the fledgling table after promoted West Ham gifted them two goals in a 3 0 victory to follow up their 5 0 opener against Queens Park Rangers.
Michael Laudrup's side went ahead on 20 minutes when Angel Rangel's cross deflected in off the body of new West Ham goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen and it was 2 0 soon after when Michu slotted in after an awful James Collins back pass.
Forward Danny Graham knocked in the third after the break while West Ham debutant Matt Jarvis, signed from Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday, had their best chance with a volley.
Asked if he was surprised by his new team's success, Dane Laudrup told Sky Sports: "Yes of course, I mean two games, six points, clean sheet, that's fantastic."
QPR recovered slightly from Swansea's mauling to draw 1 1 at Norwich, hermes Constance bag blue replica also thumped 5 0 by Fulham first up, while Sunderland's game with promoted Reading was postponed before kickoff because of a waterlogged pitch.
Tottenham Hotspur, beaten at Newcastle United in coach Andre Villas Boas's debut last week, were held 1 1 by a West Bromwich Albion side that fought hard following an opening hermes Constance bag replica win over Liverpool and scored a late leveller through James Morrison.
Promoted Southampton lost again after a 2 0 home defeat by Wigan Athletic as the visitors showed they could do without winger Victor Moses, who signed for Chelsea on Friday and will watch his new side host Newcastle later (1630 GMT).
The European champions have already won their first two matches of the campaign so will go top with at least a point.

Son Road Trip to Remember
I've often wondered if there is a genetic predisposition for wanderlust. Our older son, now a college senior, seemed to emerge from the womb with a guidebook in his hand preferably to some obscure location like Rarotonga or Saint Pierre and Miquelon, the pair of islands under French control off the Newfoundland coast where he still hankers to go.
But his younger brother, Gabe, has always cherished the nest. For him, home has been the citadel of his enthusiasms, the place where he can let loose on his electric guitar and smother his walls with vinyl record covers, from Buddy Guy to the Black Keys.
So I wasn't sure exactly how he'd react when I suggested that it might be fun to take a trip, just the two of us, in honor of his recent high school graduation. Gabe didn't bat an eyelash. "I want to go to Nashville," he said.
Intellectually, every parent knows that letting go is part of the deal, be it a first solo drive on the Interstate or pulling away from that freshman college dorm. Nevertheless, inviting your 18 year old son to follow his muse on a road trip even though he refuses to let you friend him on Facebook is to enter uncharted emotional terrain. It is to knowingly leap head first down the rabbit hole of teenage passions, wherever they may lead. Mom," Gabe announced on the flight to Tennessee. "I want my own beer when we go to a blues club. It's part of the experience."
The temperature was a peach withering 104 degrees when we landed in Nashville, a fitting gateway for our 900 mile musical road trip, which would take us to Memphis, down Highway 61, the legendary blues route through the Mississippi Delta, and back. For Gabe, Nashville means only one thing: Third Man Records, Jack White's record company and store (he of The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather and most recently a solo career). Gabe is a member of "The Vault," the record club for rabid Jack fans.
"Don't be weird, mom," he commanded as we approached Third Man's kitsch landmark, a stylized radio tower icon atop a fashionably black industrial building with De Stijl like red and yellow doors.
As a rock star, White tends his image as music critic Adam Gold has observed "with the care of a Japanese garden." Because so many promotional videos have been shot at Third Man, Gabe was already a connoisseur, pointing out rarities under glass. "See that one on the right?" he said of a mini turntable that plays 3 inch White Stripes records, as if referring to an exceptionally fine Egyptian scarab at the Metropolitan Museum. "There are only 400 of these in the world!"
Though Jack (as he is known in our house) was on tour in Europe, we inhabited his life anyway, having lunch at March Artisan Foods in East Nashville, reportedly his favorite brunch place, and dinner twice at Burger Up, where I decided, after some debate, to let Gabe split a beer with me. It turns out that Vault members are excellent travel consultants: They urged us to get tickets to a concert at the historic Ryman Auditorium, a marvel of intimacy, and turned us on to Yazoo Pale Ale.
As a musician, Gabe relishes the individuality of old fashioned record stores, "by far more interesting than downloading MP3 albums off iTunes," he says. In advance of our trip, he promptly drew up a list of every major record store within a 300 mile radius each one a candidate for Clutterers Anonymous. By the time we got to Goner Records in Memphis aptly named, in my opinion I began to identify with all the men who wait for hours outside the dressing rooms at Bloomingdales while their wives or girlfriends examine every ripple in the three way mirror.
Nevertheless, the sight of turntable and headphone "listening stations" in Van Cleef & Arpels gold ring replica record store corners reminded me of my own teenage years in Highland Park, Illinois in the early 60s, when I would rush to Grant Grant, the local record store, every week to listen to '45s and pick up the latest Silver Dollar Survey, a list on actual paper of the Top 40 hits on WLS Radio in Chicago. Unlike Gabe, I had lousy taste: I knew the words to every Herman's Hermits song.
In 1967, my father took to Europe, including London, where I begged to see Carnaby Street, then in all its paisley glory, and visit the real Apple store, the one the Beatles opened on Baker Street. I remember buying a cardboard apple ring there (lord knows what it would fetch on eBay). To my 13 year old eye, the ring went perfectly with my day glo striped mini dress, my dangling blinking eye earrings and my Mary Quant tights. In retrospect, Swinging London wasn't so far from Gabe's Nashville.
But our trip was different: For six nights, my son and I shared a hotel room the reason why God invented bathrobes. Over the miles, Gabe piloted us by GPS to far flung barbecue joints (my choice) and blues clubs (his). His chief worry was whether his middle aged mother would have the stamina for late night music. I confess that more than once, especially when it was 103 degrees at sundown, I had fantasies about a leisurely glass of wine in the lobby of the Peabody Hotel instead of being deafened in a beer soaked bar by a white blues singer in a tight t shirt.
But in following Gabe's lead, I learned and saw things that, had I had my druthers, would have eluded me. I grudgingly agreed to re jigger our itinerary for the twice weekly tour of United Record Pressing in Nashville. It turned out to be utterly riveting: Not only did we learn how records are made, from tiny vinyl pellets to grooves in a finished album, but we watched operators work the same copy Van Cleef & Arpels ring archaic machines they smelled like burning rubber that pressed every Motown single and has continued to churn out thousands of albums a day ever since.
The upstairs was a revelation: the 1960s frozen in time, including a party room with "pleather" sofas frequented by giants like Smokey Robinson and the Supremes. But that history had a sobering side: Hauntingly preserved down to the blonde wood paneling, the company's "Motown Suite" was an apartment created for visiting Motown artists and black record executives who weren't allowed in downtown hotels. "It did a better job at nailing authenticity than most high budget museums," Gabe said later. King Museum and Delta Interpretive replica Van Cleef ring Museum in Indianola).
If not exactly a buddy movie there were moments when I felt like the chauffeur to Gabe's Miss Daisy watching my son doze in the car, as he did as a baby, made me realize how much I have come to rely on his calm, steady presence, so different from my own too frequent panic. I thought about the sound of his electric guitar emanating from his upstairs lair, and how, every night as I crawl into bed, I have to ask him to turn the amplifier down. I considered the melancholy quiet sure to envelop our household when he leaves for college. King. In Robinsonville, a tiny hamlet outside Tunica, now a gambling center on the Mississippi River, we had the bizarre experience of following Casino Strip Boulevard past Harrah's to reach Abbay Leatherman, the cotton plantation where Robert Johnson lived in a tenant shack as a boy in the 1920s, the original white painted brick plantation office still standing.
We drove the hallowed byways, the red clay soil scattered over the two lane blacktop, stopping at Clarksdale juke joints and the Delta Blues Museum, its centerpiece a restored version of Muddy Waters's wood plank cabin from nearby Stovall. King had played.
We listened to Robert Johnson as we headed east down Highway 82 toward Greenwood, past catfish farms and the occasional McMansion. A faint wisp of moon hovered over the soybean fields. Our destination was the Little Zion church, where Johnson, one of the most influential and revered blues musicians of all time, lies in a humble cemetery alive with dragonflies and twisted vines. Both Johnson's life and his death are the stuff of lore; he died in 1938 at age 27 with some suggesting he was poisoned by a jealous husband.
We walked through tall grasses, reading worn headstones embedded in the cracked earth. "There was something distinctly southern about the overgrown feel, with all manner of insects buzzing around our heads," Gabe recalled later. Unlike more tourist friendly stops, he noted, the significant feature Robert Johnson's grave wasn't clearly marked. "We had to search for it," he said. "And this made it feel more special."
If I had intended to impart a life lesson, I couldn't have done better than the one he found himself. Years from now, I hope he will carry it and maybe a few of our 900 miles with him an indelible groove, like a well played record.

If not exactly a buddy movie there were moments when I felt like the chauffeur to Gabe's Miss Daisy watching my son doze in the car, as he did as a baby, made me realize how much I have come to rely on his calm, steady presence, so different from my own too frequent panic. I thought about the sound of his electric guitar emanating from his upstairs lair, and how, every night as I crawl into bed, I have to ask him to turn the amplifier down. I considered the melancholy quiet sure to envelop our household when he leaves for college. King. In Robinsonville, a tiny hamlet outside Tunica, now a gambling center on the Mississippi River, we had the bizarre experience of following Casino Strip Boulevard past Harrah's to reach Abbay Leatherman, the cotton plantation where Robert Johnson lived in a tenant shack as a boy in the 1920s, the original white painted brick plantation office still standing.
We drove the hallowed byways, the red clay soil scattered over the two lane blacktop, stopping at Clarksdale juke joints and the Delta Blues Museum, its centerpiece a restored version of Muddy Waters's wood plank cabin from nearby Stovall. King had played.
We listened to Robert Johnson as we headed east down Highway 82 toward Greenwood, past catfish farms and the occasional McMansion. A faint wisp of moon hovered over the soybean fields. Our destination was the Little Zion church, where Johnson, one of the most influential and revered blues musicians of all time, lies in a humble cemetery alive with dragonflies and twisted vines. Both Johnson's life and his death are the stuff of lore; he died in 1938 at age 27 with some suggesting he was poisoned by a jealous husband.
We walked through tall grasses, reading worn headstones embedded in the cracked earth. "There was something distinctly southern about the overgrown feel, with all manner of insects buzzing around our heads," Gabe recalled later. Unlike more tourist friendly stops, he noted, the significant feature Robert Johnson's grave wasn't clearly marked. "We had to search for it," he said. "And this made it feel more special."
If I had intended to impart a life lesson, I couldn't have done better than the one he found himself. Years from now, I hope he will carry it and maybe a few of our 900 miles with him an indelible groove, like a well played record.
Rembrandt drawing
(CNN)A chalk drawing of a dog has been identified as a work by Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, after it spent almost 250 years mistakenly credited to a German painter.
Professor Thomas Doring, the museum's curator of prints and drawings, was first alerted to the error two years ago while cataloging the museum's 10,000 drawings for a digital archive.
Old sketch is da Vinci worth $16M, retired doctor is told
"It's been on display for decades under the name of Johann Melchior Roos," he told CNN, "so the idea that this could be a Rembrandt was never considered copy Van Cleef ring before.
"But the boldness of the strokes, the variations in the shading from very gentle to quite violent and the expressive gaze [of the dog] these are very typical idiosyncrasies of Rembrandt's work."
Doring said his experience cataloging drawings by Rembrandt and his pupils during an earlier project Van Cleef & Arpels ring imitation was key to the discovery.
"I was used to looking out for the differences between Rembrandt's work and drawings by other artists," he explained.
To find out whether his suspicions were correct, he visited Vienna, Amsterdam and Paris, studying Rembrandt drawings and enlisting the help of other Rembrandt experts.
This drawing of a lion (1650 1959), belonging to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, is one of the few surviving animal studies by Rembrandt van Rijn.
He said the response to his painstaking work had been unanimously positive.
"Two of the three leading scholars of Rembrandt's drawings told me they were fully convinced Van Cleef ring fake that this is a Rembrandt," he said. "Since then, the third has contacted me to say he also has no doubts."

Van Gaal settle for a point apiece
Chelsea Manager Jose Mourinho, right, protests during the Barclays Premier League match against Manchester United. Photograph: Laurence Griffiths/Getty ImagesChelsea's Jose Mourinho and his old friend Louis van Gaal of Manchester United had different reasons to be satisfied with a point after their teams drew 1 1 in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Sunday.Robin van Persie snatched a dramatic stoppage time equaliser to earn United a deserved share of the spoils after Didier Drogba, starting for how much is a hermes bag the injured Diego Costa, headed the visitors in front in the 53rd minute from a corner.Chelsea seemed likely to hold out but just before the final whistle Branislav Ivanovic was sent off for a second yellow card and from the free kick Thibaut Courtois saved from Marouane Fellaini but could not keep out Van Persie's fierce follow up.

Van Persie also came close with a shot and a back header in the first period.Seven wins and two draws from nine games leave Chelsea in an enviable position. United, meanwhile, having briefly reached fourth place, find themselves back in eighth after a second successive draw.The consolation for them is having equalised right at the end again, just as they did in a 2 2 draw at West Bromwich Albion last Monday.Van Persie believes they are steadily improving.

Viajar de Estados Unidos a Cuba
La Habana (CNN) Louis y Bonnie Waterer dedicarn su retiro Hermes birkin bags fake a llenar sus pasaportes. "Hay un montn de personas que tratan de visitar 100 pases antes de morir", explic Louis. "Para nosotros este es el nmero 92". El nmero 92 para los Waterer es Cuba.
Sin embargo, hasta hace algunos aos, viajar a Cuba hubiera sido poco menos que imposible, hasta para los viajeros intrpidos como los Waterer.
Despus de que Fidel Castro asumi el poder en 1959, Cuba pas de ser el destino favorito de los estadounidenses a ser un destino prohibido. Las relaciones diplomticas y los viajes directos entre Estados Unidos y Cuba se suspendieron. Los ciudadanos estadounidenses que invertan dinero en la isla eran sujetos a fuertes multas por "negociar con el enemigo".
Sin embargo, tras dcadas de salidas en falso, el gobierno de Obama ha reimplantado los viajes legales a Cuba como una va para llegar al pueblo cubano. Se le llama viaje "persona a persona", y como casi todo lo que tiene que ver con Cuba, la poltica y la controversia estn involucradas.
"Cada viajero debe tener un itinerario de tiempo completo para las actividades de intercambio educativo que tenga como resultado la interaccin significativa entre los viajeros y las personas en Cuba", indica la gua de viajes persona a persona del departamento del Tesoro de Estados Unidos.
Mientras que la medida ha desatado el debate acerca del significado de un intercambio "significativo", una avalancha de operadores tursticos ha entrado en el an incierto mundo de los viajes a Cuba.
Los estadounidenses que estn interesados en visitar Cuba reciben gratis discos de msica cubana e itinerarios que contemplan fiestas de bienvenida organizadas por los Comits para la Defensa de la Revolucin, grupos comunitarios de vigilancia creados originalmente con la intencin de frustrar una invasin estadounidense.
Los visitantes estadounidenses que vayan a Cuba en un viaje persona a persona no deberan planear pasar mucho tiempo fake hermes leather handbags en la playa. Segn los lineamientos del Tesoro, los operadores tursticos deben planear prcticamente cada momento del viaje; los viajes "persona a persona" excluyen relajarse junto a la alberca disfrutando de una bebida adornada con una sombrilla, al menos en teora.
La mayora de los estadounidenses que se dirigen a Cuba van con el deseo de establecer una conexin con la gente con la que se les ha prohibido tener replica hermes handbags contacto por generaciones, de acuerdo con Tom Popper, presidente del operador turstico Insight Cuba. "Es increble que estemos reuniendo a los estadounidenses y a los cubanos", dijo Popper. "Es una experiencia de viaje para los estadounidenses, es increble para los cubanos. Algunas personas en ciertas partes de Cuba a las que vamos nunca han visto un estadounidense".
Los viajes persona a persona no son baratos ni sencillos. El viaje "Fin de semana en La Habana", de cuatro noches, operado por Insight Cuba, cuesta cerca de 2,000 dlares por persona, sin el boleto de avin. Popper dijo que el viaje es caro debido a que los operadores tienen que enviar guas con sus grupos para asegurarse de que cumplan con las regulaciones del viaje, y que renovar las licencias estadounidenses cada ao puede tomar meses de navegar en las complicadas aguas de la burocracia.
Este verano, muchos operadores se preguntaron si los viajes persona a persona terminaran por completo, luego de que el departamento del Tesoro empezara a negar los permisos a los operadores o simplemente no responda a las solicitudes de renovacin.
Varios operadores tursticos se pusieron en contacto con CNN y declararon que el proceso pudo haberse estancado porque la solicitud de renovacin ahora cuenta con cerca de 200 pginas y requiere que los operadores detallen cmo cada parada del itinerario fomenta la amistad entre los estadounidenses y los cubanos.
"Haces lo que se supone que tienes que hacer y cambian las reglas en el proceso. Los lineamientos son vagos", dijo Michael Sykes, quien diriga la hoy extinta agencia Cuba Cultural Tours. Sykes despidi a cuatro empleados luego de que su permiso expirara en julio y se le negara la renovacin.
"El lenguaje es tan crptico y burocrtico", dijo. "No cualquier persona puede hacerlo, tienes que entender el idioma secreto". Ahora Sykes ha contratado a lo que llama un abogado "endiabladamente caro" para que lo gue a travs del proceso y espera que para finales de ao est organizando viajes a Cuba de nueva cuenta.
Algunos de los operadores declararon que pensaban que el bloqueo a los permisos surge de las presiones polticas, en particular del senador republicano por Florida, Marco Rubio, quien es de origen cubano y es feroz crtico de los viajes.
"Estos viajes son meramente tursticos, es turismo", dijo Rubio ante el Senado el ao pasado. "La razn por la que esto es un problema es porque se da dinero al gobierno de Castro".
Jeff Braunger, funcionario del departamento del Tesoro, encargado del programa de permisos para Cuba, dijo a travs de un correo electrnico que el departamento ha autorizado permisos para 180 operadores tursticos que cumplen con la ley.
"Revisamos los criterios de las solicitudes para permisos para que los solicitantes entiendan la seriedad de los requisitos del programa de permisos para viajes persona a persona, en parte porque hemos recibido reportes relativos a los viajes sujetos a estos permisos", escribi Braunger.
Sin embargo, algunos de los operadores dijeron que los viajes a Cuba son cada vez ms engorrosos y caros pero las polticas no mejoran. Un organizador de viajes mencion el viaje de un competidor al que se le concedi recientemente el permiso, en el que se inclua un da de buceo. "Se supone que es persona a persona, no persona a pez", dijo el operador.
Tambin del lado cubano existen complicaciones, de acuerdo con los operadores. El mes pasado, el gobierno cubano cancel abruptamente los permisos de aterrizaje de dos compaas estadounidenses de vuelos de alquiler que operaban viajes hacia la isla, aduciendo un problema de pagos.
Sin embargo, los operadores tursticos dijeron que vale la pena soportar las penurias con tal de tener la oportunidad de participar antes que nadie en el turismo estadounidense en Cuba, que seguramente tendr un auge una vez que se levante el embargo.
"Estamos de nuevo en operaciones y esperamos seguir as", dijo el presidente de Insight Cuba, Tom Popper. Popper tuvo que despedir a 22 personas mientras esperaba durante 22 meses la renovacin del permiso de la empresa; desde entonces ha recontratado a 17.
Durante un viaje organizado por Insight Cuba, el mes pasado, 12 estadounidenses pasaron toda la maana hablando con los cubanos en un proyecto de arte comunitario.
Michael Pettit, un abogado de Charlestown, Carolina del Sur, dijo estar sorprendido por los muchos contrastes que encontr en Cuba durante su primer viaje persona a persona, efectuado en mayo.
"Amo Cuba", replica birkin handbags dijo. "La historia, la msica, la gente, las fotografas; todo es hermoso". Pettit dijo que la poltica y la incertidumbre que rodea a los viajes a Cuba desde Estados Unidos lo persuadieron de reservar otro viaje de inmediato. "Una de las razones por las que regres es que nunca sabes cuando podrs volver a ir legalmente".

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."

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.
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."

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.
