On this episode of The Claw's Corner Rich sits with actor Bo Svenson! From Bo's IMDB:A multi-award-winning writer and actor, Bo Svenson was born in Sweden - the only child of a Jewish, Russian-born big band leader mother and a father who was the Swedish King's personal driver and bodyguard. At 17, he emigrated by himself to the US. After serving six years as a US Marine, he was pursuing a Ph.D. in MetaPhysics and paying the rent with odd acting gigs when he was hired to replace Paul Newman as Robert Redford's co-star in "The Great Waldo Pepper". This led to a starring role in the CBS TV pilot "The Freebooters" - and his being cast as "Big Swede" on the TV series "Here Come the Brides". His role as "The Creature" in the 3-hour TV movie "Mary Shelley's Original Frankenstein" brought him great acclaim - and was soon followed by other major starring film roles, including, but most notably, as: Sheriff Buford Pusser in "Walking Tall Part II", "Final Chapter: Walking Tall" and the "Walking Tall" TV series, as the fun-loving offensive lineman Joe Bob Priddy in "North Dallas Forty", as the heroic airline pilot in "The Delta Force", and as Clint Eastwood's rival in "Heartbreak Ridge". During his fifty years in Hollywood, he has worked with over 100 Academy Award winners/nominees. Since appearing in Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill" and "Inglourious Basterds" (the latter being Tarantino's version of one of his favorite films of all time, "The Inglorious Bastards" in which Bo starred), Bo has focused on his first love - writing. His screenplays have won and/or been selected more than thirty times by major film festivals. An accomplished athlete, he has competed in world championships in judo and in Olympic selections in yachting. A 5th degree black belt in judo and a black belt holder in karate as well as aikido, he is past Chairman of USA Judo Masters and has been inducted into the Martial Arts Masters Hall of Fame.

The rollback rate is designed to generate the same revenue as the previous year. The fiscal year 2024 budget had initially estimated a millage rate of 5.278 mills, considering a 99.5% collection rate and a 6% growth in new construction. However, actual new construction growth turned out to be 5.69%. Under the new rate, property taxes for a non-homestead property with a fair market value of $350,000 would be $717.50, down $79.52 from 2022. Additionally, the city extended a moratorium on new applications related to rezoning, development, or construction in the Sixes Road/I-575 interchange area.     Story 5: N GA Health   Physicians, industry executives, and political leaders from South Georgia are advocating for changes to Georgia's certificate of need (CON) law in the healthcare industry, claiming it restricts medical care access and inflates costs by limiting competition. The lengthy and expensive process of building a second acute-care hospital in Lee County near Albany, which encountered legal challenges and delays, serves as an example of the obstacles created by the CON law. While the CON law was initially implemented to reduce healthcare costs by avoiding duplication, the federal mandate driving it was repealed in 1986, leading several states to eliminate their CON laws. The debate continues regarding potential reforms or repeal of Georgia's CON law, with proponents arguing for more competition and improved healthcare access..   Story 6: swann   Two staff members from the North Georgia Health District have been honored by the Rollins Epidemiology Fellowship Program. Ashley Deverell, the district infectious disease director, received the 2023 Outstanding Supervisor Award for her dedication, relationship-building skills, and support for her fellows and staff members. She was praised for her effective communication, willingness to provide constructive feedback, and her encouragement of independent project development. Epidemiologist Theresa Williams was awarded the 2023 Impact Award for her contributions in improving health outcomes and reducing disease burdens in the district. Williams played a vital role in investigating enteric diseases and cross-training COVID-19 case investigators to aid in other disease investigations. Her efforts have resulted in enhanced disease investigation capabilities, especially in cases of COVID-19, foodborne illnesses, and waterborne diseases.

He also managed the Texas Rangers, Philadelphia Phillies, and Cleveland Indians. Corrales served as a coach with multiple teams, including the Braves and the Washington Nationals. In 2012, he became a special assistant to the general manager for the Los Angeles Dodgers.   Story 8: Drake   The Indianapolis Colts have released running back Kenyan Drake, according to NFL Network. This decision comes as the Colts are reportedly allowing star running back Jonathan Taylor to pursue a trade. The Colts' running back roster includes Deon Jackson, rookie Evan Hull, Jake Funk, and Jason Huntley, along with an injured Zack Moss.

Egal ob Fußball, Eishockey oder Leichtathletik. Für Pfarrer Schießler ist Sport ein ganz wichtiger Teil des Lebens, denn es geht einerseits ums Gewinnen, andererseits ist man als Verlierer auch nicht allein. Warum Teamgeist auch im Alltag gefragt ist und was den Herrn Pfarrer vor kurzem bei den Special Olympics World Games in Berlin berührt hat, hören Sie in der aktuellen Folge von Schießlers Woche.

This June, the 2023 Special Olympics World Games were held in Berlin, Germany. Some 7,000 athletes from 170 countries took part in the annual celebration of people with disabilities, people often dehumanized and marginalized.   The Special Olympics were founded by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, sister of U.S. President John F. Kennedy. She was inspired by her sister Rosemary, who lived with intellectual disabilities her entire life. Shriver started the first special Olympics in 1962 as a summer camp in her backyard. The competition grew, and her efforts earned her admiration and the honor of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.   Some years ago, New York Times opinion writer Ross Douthat described Shriver as a “different kind of liberal,” who “saw a continuity, rather than a contradiction, between championing the poor, the marginalized and the oppressed and protecting unborn human life.” That consistency, he thought, was in large part due to her upbringing in the Church, specifically what she learned there: that all people are made by God in His image.

Threat to Neutrality must be challengedLast June Micheál Martin, the then Taoiseach attacked the decades long neutrality policy of the Irish state. He claimed that; “We need to reflect on military non-alignment in Ireland and our military neutrality. We are not politically neutral …,”And Martin cast aside any pretence that the people should have a say in this when he said: “We don't need a referendum to join NATO. That's a policy decision of government.”Double standardsFor a brief time two weeks ago the horror of our 21st century coffin ships in the Mediterranean Sea caught the media headlines. A trawler filled to overflowing with desperate people sank off the coast of Greece. Over 500 people drowned. Many were trapped in the hold of the ship.It was the latest tragedy in a Sea that has become the most dangerous route for refugees fleeing violence, hunger and destitution in their own places. Then the story disappeared.Well Done Special OlympiansTeam Ireland has won 24 gold, 22 silver and 29 bronze medals at the Special Olympics World Games in Berlin. The Games were a great experience for all the athletes who competed.  They included 73 sportspeople from Ireland who  participated in 12 sports with outstanding successes. Well done to them all, to their supporters and families and to Special Olympics Ireland.An Ode to DogsOur oldest lad's oldest lad loves dogs. So do his sisters especially the youngest one. She has a way with her when she is with her canine. Fiadh is her name. The dog that is, not the oldest lad's oldest lad's youngest sister.His dog is called Finn, although when they wrote his name out for his collar and some official forms they spelt it Fionn. The dog can't read or write so he doesn't know any difference. I prefer Fionn although I call him Finn, same as everyone else.

Charlie Phillips' hometown of Savannah welcomed him back Tuesday with a parade down Main street, where he signed autographs and took photos with residents on the courthouse lawn. Mr. Phillips joined us live this morning on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri" and discussed his medals, with volunteer work with Meals on Wheels America and with an animal shelter and his Berlin interview with ESPN's Tim Tebow:

En Grèce, l'ombre de deux catastrophes plane sur les élections législatives de dimanche (25 juin 2023). Il y a l'accident de train qui a fait 57 morts en mars 2023 et qui a retardé un premier scrutin... et il y a désormais cette nouvelle tragédie en mer, la semaine dernière... ce naufrage d'un bateau de migrants, qui aurait fait, lui, entre 400 et 700 morts. Alors que la droite grecque pourrait triompher dans les urnes, cette catastrophe jette une lumière crue sur la politique migratoire européenne et sur certaines pratiques des garde-côtes grecs. Près d'Athènes, Joël Bronner s'est rendu devant le camp de réfugiés de Malakasa.Direction les Canaries, dans l'océan Atlantique, lieu d'arrivée chaque année de milliers de migrants venus des côtes d'Afrique du Nord. L'Espagne va installer, sur les avions et navires de ses sauveteurs, des capteurs capables de détecter automatiquement les personnes tombées à l'eau, de jour comme de nuit. Diane Cambon.Les Special Olympics World Games à BerlinBerlin accueille, jusqu'au 25 juin 2023, les 16èmes jeux mondiaux spéciaux d'été, les Special Olympics World Games qui se déroulent tous les deux ans.

Welche Rolle die Debatte beim Zusammentreffen im Adenauer-Haus spielt, erklärt CDU-Experte Ferdinand Otto aus dem Politikressort von ZEIT ONLINE.

Rund 7.000 Athlet*innen mit geistiger und mehrfacher Behinderung aus 190 Nationen treten miteinander in 26 Sportarten an.

Die Special Olympic World Games finden nicht nur erstmalig in Deutschland statt. Es gibt auch eine weitere Premiere: Eine Medienallianz aus ARD, BILD, DAZN, Telekom, Meta, Prime Video, ProSiebenSat.1 Media, RTL, sky, Sport1 und ZDF berichten, gemäß dem Motto #UnbeatableTogether, gemeinsam von den Weltspielen. Auch namhafte Sponsoren wie Coca-Cola und REWE sind an Board. Was braucht es also, dass das Event ein Erfolg wird? Das haben wir den Verantwortlichen Sven Albrecht gefragt.

Loretta Claiborne is the most accomplished Special Olympics athlete of all time. Loretta was raised by a single mother, born partially blind, with an intellectual disability, and clubbed feet.  This future marathon champion was unable to walk until the age of four and learned to talk at seven. Loretta's strong mother had the courage, strength, and fortitude to refuse institutionalization for her daughter. We learn of early teachers, an uncle teaching her to read the paper and count money. Janet Mc Farland, an early mentor who introduced Loretta to the newly formed Special Olympics, setting her on a path to become the most celebrated Special Olympics athlete in history with ten medals over six Special Olympics World Games. She has run 26 marathons, placing in the top 100 in the Boston Marathon twice, and finished in the top 25 women overall in the Pittsburgh Marathon. This global speaker was awarded the Arthur Ashe ESPY Courage Award in 1996, presented to her by Denzel Washington. This tireless warrior for the intellectually challenged was the first Special Olympics athlete elected to the Special Olympics Board of Directors. Loretta's life was the subject of an ABC-TV made-for-Disney movie,  The Loretta Claiborne Story. Loretta is represented in the historic portrait at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, of her friend and Special Olympics founder Eunice Kennedy Shriver. As a result of this change agent's advocacy, those with intellectual disabilities are living longer,  more rewarding, and productive lives. The Special Olympics is now in 200 countries, with five million participating athletes, providing resources for those once removed from society and marginalized.It was a gift to spend time with Loretta, Chief Inspirational Officer of the Special Olympics. We welcome her to this episode of Intrinsic Drive™. Intrinsic Drive™ is produced by Ellen Strickler and Phil Wharton.
