Documentary Shows How Father Figures Help Push Thomas to Hall Of
Frank Thomas enjoyed a rapid rise from distinction in youth baseball (left) in Columbus, Ga. to enjoying a champagne bath (right) celebrating the Sox's 1993 American League West title. He would have even more accomplishments ahead on his way to the Hall of Fame. Photos credit Comcast SportsNet Chicago. Documentary shows how father figures help push Thomas to Hall of Fame By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Monday, July 14th, 2014 If there’s one theme that jumps out of “Welcome to Cooperstown: Frank Thomas,” it’s how father-figures, doubling as coaches, helped push along the Big Hurt’s career to its eventual destination at the Hall of Fame’s induction ceremonies July 27. The leadoff man was Thomas’ father, Frank Thomas, Sr., who cannily advised his son to take advantage of a football ride to Auburn as a means to an end. Hand in hand with the senior Thomas was Columbus (Ga.) High School coach Bobby Howard, who made Thomas earn his spot as his go-to player. Foremost was Sox hitting coach Walt Hriniak, under whom Thomas thrived in the unparalleled start of his career in the first half of the 1990s. Historically, there’s a correlation between the daily counsel of this troika and Thomas’ emergence and focus as the best right-handed hitter of his generation. After Hriniak was fired in the Sox near-panicky post-strike housecleaning of 1995, something was lost with the Big Hurt. He continued to have monster years and actually was robbed of at least one American League Most Valuable Player award, in 2000. -

Misapplication of Power and the Death Penalty in Georgia Ruth J
Misapplication of Power and the Death Penalty in Georgia Ruth J. Carter, Georgia College State University, USA The European Conference on the Social Sciences 2015 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract In Georgia, as well as many parts of the United States, the misuse of power is often centered on who goes to prison and who goes free. Worse is the misapplication of power in connection with the death penalty, which is still legal in 30 of the American states, over who gets life with or without parole and who is executed. The arbitrary nature of the application of the death penalty is fatally ironic. Under consideration are two cases, that of Emma Ruth Cunningham and the process of parole and that of Kelly Gissendaner who is still on death row after two postponements of her sentence of execution. iafor The International Academic Forum www.iafor.org Introduction Although still very divided, Americans are moving toward the abolition of the death penalty. Yet in this evolution toward a more humane viewpoint, Justice is neither blind nor balanced. The legal process available to someone given the death penalty in Georgia, follows the judicial procedures used all over the US. After the appeals route, there is one significant difference which makes the progression to execution or commutation in Georgia even more Draconian. In August 1953, Georgia voters ratified a landmark amendment to the State Constitution. In that document, the sole authority to grant paroles, pardons, reprieves, to commute sentences, including death sentences, to remit sentences, and to remove disabilities imposed by law was given to the State Board of Pardons and Paroles. -
