Franklin was a creator of blackness history
By JANE STANCILL
John Hope Franklin crafted the foundation of African-American history. He lived it, too.
Franklin, 94, who died Midweek of congestive centre failure at Duke Infirmary, was 1 of the 20th century's most influential historians and found himself at the forefront of some of the nation's cardinal civil-rights struggles.
His book "From Slavery to Freedom," starting time published in 1947, was a seminal work and has sold 3.5 million copies. Over a lifetime of scholarship, the professor helped ensure that no American history volume could be complete without the story of African-Americans, and that America could non be whole until it confronted its past of slavery and segregation.
Franklin helped NAACP lawyers with research for the landmark Dark-brown v. Lath of Education school desegregation case in 1953. He joined historians who marched with the Rev. Martin Luther King from Selma, Ala., to Montgomery in 1965. And five decades later his masterpiece was published, Franklin was appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1997 to lead a national initiative on race.

WASHINGTON — The White Business firm says it does non live or die by the ups and downs of the stock market. But others practise. And on Mon, that was expert for Timothy Geithner.

He got it Mon when the Dow Jones industrial average shot upward nearly 500 points afterwards he unveiled his private-public partnership to aid relieve banks of the toxic assets that have plunged the fiscal system into its crisis.

The pioneering P-I slips into the by
Over 146 years, we grew up with Seattle
By Ballad SMITH
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the region'southward pioneer newspaper and the city'due south oldest continually operating business, a newspaper that both shaped and was shaped by the community it covered, prints its final edition Tuesday — about a century and a half after its forebear showtime rolled off a hand-cranked Ramage press promising to exist "the best and cheapest promulgator of all sorts of useful information."
The print P-I was irreverent and unpredictable, a long-shot survivor from the showtime. Information technology persisted through 11 moves, and more than 17 owners. It didn't miss an edition when its building burned to the ground along with its press in the Great Seattle Burn of 1889. It outlived some 20 scrappy competitors before the plow of the 20th century, an era described by Clarence Bagley, one of its 19th century owners, as a fourth dimension when newspapers "lived hard and died easy."
….The P-I has been a common denominator not just in our lives, just in hundreds of thousands of others for more than a century.
Print is what nosotros posted on refrigerator doors, and hung on walls — tangible documents of our rites and passages, of what entertains, informs or outrages us. Clippings of births and deaths — and the deeds and misdeeds in betwixt — fill up thousands of family scrapbooks.
Now, like Polaroids and slide projectors, Kodachrome and coin phones, we sideslip into that foggy part of memory reserved for things whose absence we haven't actually registered yet.
The print paper is going away and with it, its varied afterlife. You lot can't sop up your basement with your computer, or wrap a fish. And what is the paper mache — that miracle sculpting media that must take launched a million budding unproblematic school artists — without newspaper?
Across the actual, concrete paper, however is the newspaper equally an institution, or more precisely, as the people who put it out. This newspaper was still the place many people contacted when they didn't know where else to call — to right a wrong, to find a telephone number, to get someone to listen to their stories.
Nosotros know because we picked upwards the telephone.
And when our lives changed overnight — when President Kennedy was slain, or the Twin Towers fell, or President Obama was elected — information technology was the adjacent solar day's newspaper that people thought of saving.

They were anchored about 38 miles offshore Saturday afternoon when high waves flipped their pocket-size boat.
The four football players, who had been angling for amberjack, were thrown into the frothy Gulf of Mexico. Frigid, 6-foot seas crashed over their heads.
Struggling in their life jackets, they somehow managed to make it back to the boat. But the 21-human foot Everglades fishing craft was upside-down. And though the men were in their 20s and strong — two played for the NFL and the others had played for USF — they couldn't correct the boat.
So the four friends clung to the slick, white hull.

The Cardinals, who haven't won an NFL title since 1947, were within a fingertip, a couple of toes and a few seconds of pulling off what seemed inconceivable a month agone when they entered the playoffs.
The improbability of their postseason run makes losing no easier to take.
"It was like getting a chair pulled out from under y'all," receiver Larry Fitzgerald said. "It just hurts to be able to get so shut and autumn short of your ultimate goal."

Impeached Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has been removed from office
Past RAY LONG and RICK PEARSON
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Sweeping bated six years of scandal and crippling political infighting with a historic impeachment vote, the country Senate on Thursday ousted one governor for abusing his power and anointed another who congenital his political career around having no power at all.
Senators voted 59-0 to remove Rod Blagojevich, who walked out of the silent chamber later delivering an impassioned plea for mercy. Within hours they applauded his former running mate and lieutenant governor, Patrick Quinn, who was sworn in as the country's 41st governor vowing a new form for Illinois.
"The ordeal is over," said Quinn, long viewed every bit an unwelcomed outsider past the country's political institution. "In this moment, our hearts are hurt. And information technology'south very important to know that we have a duty, a mission to restore the faith of the people of Illinois in the integrity of their government."
He replaced a defiant Blagojevich, 52, the first Autonomous governor in a quarter century and the first governor in Illinois history to be impeached. Afterward racing back to his Chicago home before the vote could deprive him of a ride home on the state aeroplane, Blagojevich once again said he was the victim of a blitz to judgment.

John Updike, Pa. son, literary giant, dies at 76
Past CARLIN ROMANO
John Updike, 76, the academic, prolific, Berks County-born novelist, poet and critic whose extraordinary and exquisite six-decade body of work fabricated him Pennsylvania's greatest contributor to contemporary American and world literature, died yesterday of lung cancer.
He died in a hospice outside Boston. He had lived for many years in Beverly Farms, Mass.
Like Joyce Carol Oates, Mr. Updike enjoyed a reputation for prolific creativity beyond most every genre known to literature. Like an American Flaubert, he astonished the literary world with the pointillist precision of his sentences, the pleasing, surprising lilts and twists of his lyrical diction.

Impeachment trial to proceed without Blagojevich
Governor heads to New York for interviews
By CHRISTOPHER WILLS
(The Associated Printing)
SPRINGFIELD — If there's such a affair every bit a "normal" impeachment trial, the one that starts today in Illinois doesn't authorize.
The defendant, Gov. Rod Blagojevich, won't participate. He'll be talking to Whoopi Goldberg and Larry King instead of facing the state Senate. And while the Democrat acknowledges his conviction is certain, he refuses to resign.
Blagojevich complains the trial rules are unfair, merely he and his lawyers didn't endeavor to influence the rules equally they were written or claiming them afterward.
After weeks of near-silence, Blagojevich has begun an energetic public relations campaign, comparing himself to the hero of a Frank Capra movie and a cowboy existence lynched for a law-breaking he didn't commit.
He told NBC'due south "Today" that when he was arrested on federal abuse charges, he took solace from thinking of other jailed leaders – Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther Rex and Mahatma Gandhi. He also said his 5-year-quondam girl, Annie, has asked whether he'll still exist governor on her birthday in April.
