The All-Star pregame festivities were a moving experience in every way. From the moment of silence and video tribute to legendary Yankees' owner George Steinbrenner, who passed away on a day devoted to baseball excellence, to the always-powerful player introductions, to the second annual celebration of ordinary people who do extraordinary things, it was a time to remember.

"It was such an honor to be down there, to showcase all our nonprofits and just inspire others that they can be All-Stars in the community," said Klein, the Athletics' representative who in 2007 established Loved Twice, a nonprofit that collects "gently used" baby clothing and donates them to newborns in need. Over the past three years, Loved Twice distributed more than 20,000 pounds of clothes to over 3,000 Oakland-area newborns, who have directly benefited from her work.Breitling Colt

Innings later, she was sitting in Suite 77 with 29 other All-Stars Among Us, all having the time of their lives, all networking. Klein is starting a Facebook page so they can all continue to help each other after benefiting from the 1.7 million fan votes that made this occasion a reality.

Maybe you noticed Bob Bardwell sitting in his wheelchair at home plate as Alex Rodriguez shook his hand and said, "You are my hero." Bardwell, representing the Twins, founded a nonprofit youth ranch, Ironwood Springs Christian Ranch, in Stewartville, Minn., which hosts 23,000 people each year. He also founded The National Wheelchair Sports and Recreation Camp, attended by 1,000 campers over the last 22 years. The motivational speaker has also completed 100 wheelchair marathons.Breitling Cosmonaute

"I was involved in a construction accident 37 years ago, leaving me paralyzed from the waist down," he said. "And on very rare occasions in life, I get goosebumps from the waist down. You figure that one out. The joy of this, you can't really put it into words. It's the memory of a lifetime. We certainly are honored by Major League Baseball for what they've done here.Rolex Datejust II Watches

"For me, it gives me a chance to go back home and spread more of my mission. My mission is called, 'Spreading Joy, Changing Lives.' That's what I do in life: be encouraging to people. I always say that pain, style and disappointment is inevitable, but misery is optional. This is just a big boost to all of us to go back home to our community and inspire other people."

At Least 10 Dead, Hundreds Remain in Detention

Rolex Explorer Watches,

It was early Monday morning as Israeli soldiers stormed the Gaza-bound international aid convoy called the Freedom Flotilla in international waters about forty miles off the coast of Gaza. The six ships had nearly 700 international activists on board and 10,000 tons of humanitarian aid. They were aiming to break the three-year-long siege of the Gaza Strip. Israeli commandos landed on the lead ship in the convoy, the Turkish Mavi Marmara, which had about 600 activists on board. At least ten and as many as nineteen civilians on board the ship have been reported to have died in the attack. Replica Miu Miu handbags Israeli troops proceeded to seize the Mavi Marmara and the five other ships and take them to the port of Ashdod. Hundreds of activists are being detained in an Israeli prison, and nearly fifty others have been deported. The United Nations Security Council has condemned the attack and called for the immediate release of the ships and the civilians held by Israel and called for an impartial investigation. All the permanent members of the Security Council except for the United States explicitly called for Israel’s three-year blockade of the Gaza Strip to be lifted. Turkey has compared Israel’s actions to state terrorism. We speak to Adam Shapiro, Amira Hass, Ali Abunimah and Richard Falk. [includes rush transcript] Rolex Daytona Watches

FCC loses Internet regulation lawsuit

The DC Circuit Court of Appeals slapped the FCC today by ruling in Comcast v. FCC that the regulatory body overstepped its legal bounds when it tried to regulate Internet management practices. This precludes Net Neutrality regulation, which is at heart regulation of how ISPs manage their networks.

Judge David Tatel, Clinton appointed successor of now-Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, wrote for the court that since even the FCC acknowledged it had no “express statutory authority” to go after Comcast for regulating use of Bittorrent on its network, the Commission had to show that the regulation was “reasonably ancillary” to the authority it does have. The FCC did not, and so the FCC’s order to Comcast has been thrown out.

I’m no lawyer, but having lost decisively at the DC Circuit Court of Appeals seems to set a dangerous precedent for the FCC’s future ability to regulate ISPs. That is why the FCC has a plan: reclassify (or deem) ISPs to be something different under the law (make them a Title II service under the Communications Act, which former Chairman Michael Powell says they never, ever have been), and then reassert (or pass) this authority regardless of what the court said.

We’ve got to raise the alarm and pressure the FCC against this deem and pass tactic.
