Why sport is such a powerful unifier: Mandela, Shriver
Having been involved with Special Olympics Australia for almost three years now, it was sad to hear recently of the loss of the global movement's founder, Eunice Kennedy Shriver. There has been much said about the amazing things Eunice did during her life, both here in Australia and around the world, and it's a testament to the incredible legacy she has left for people with intellectual disability. Rather than focus on disability, it was Eunice's intention to show what amazing abilities these people have and, through sport, she was able to do so.
I've been fortunate enough to attend a Junior National Games here in Australia in 2008 and the excitement and anticipation that is built up around these events is amazing. Everyone comes together with the common purpose of achieving things others deem impossible and many of the stories created during such events are simply inspiring.
Sport has this amazing capacity to bring people together. While there are certain components within the 'sporting community' that we'd rather forget (a few exceptions to the norm), it is generally able to bring participants, supporters, coaches and volunteers together to share the best of human spirit - particularly in the case of Special Olympics. The difference that simply participating, let alone a gold medal, can make to people who are often marginalised in society is incredible and sport also acts as a form of rehabilitation in this sense, overcoming past challenges and building social support networks. In terms of community building, this is a key element of sport in Australia.
Eunice Shriver was a unique individual in terms of how she was determined to adjust global perspectives around intellectual disability, but there are other stories as well that are just as indicative of the power of sport in bringing people together. You may have heard of the instances during World War I when opposing armies lay down arms on Christmas Day for a game of football - such humanity in amidst the brutally.
Another example is the unification of South Africa around the 1995 Rugby World Cup. Nelson Mandela is no doubt an amazing individual, but his efforts to calm a warring nation through the symbol of the Springboks is remarkable. This documentary from the ESPY Awards is 'shivers-down-your-spine' stuff:

ED HAMPTON, ST. AUG 'S MARCHING100 LEGEND WENT TO BE W/THE LORD
NEW ORLEANS METRO REAL-TIME NEWS
Breaking Local News from New Orleans, Louisiana
Edwin Hampton, band director at St. Aug's, dies at 81
by Lolis Eric Elie, The Times-Picayune Tuesday July 21, 2009, 10:43 PM
Edwin Hampton 'didn't just teach music. He taught manhood,' former St. Augustine drummer Bernard Johnson said Mr. Hampton will forever be remembered for the look and sound of his Purple Knights, the purple-and-gold-clad band members who march each year in Carnival parades. But his contributions to his school and community extended far beyond parades and football halftime shows.
A gallery of photos of Edwin Hampton.
"He didn't just teach music. He taught manhood, " said Bernard Johnson, a professional musician and former St. Augustine drummer. "We practiced, I thought, harder than the football team.

"He was preparing us for the future beyond St. Aug, " recalled Gregory Davis, one of the founding trumpet players with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. "That discipline, I know, I have carried with me throughout my lifetime."
YouTube videos of the St. Aug's Marching 100.
While his former students remember his impact on their lives, most New Orleanians remember Mr. Hampton's influence on their most cherished holiday: Carnival.
"He founded and led the quintessential New Orleans Mardi Gras marching band. They are just emblematic of all of Mardi Gras, " said Arthur Hardy, publisher of "Arthur Hardy's Mardi Gras Guide."
"They were the most imitated band in all of Mardi Gras."
Searching for a style
St. Augustine was founded in 1951 as a Catholic high school for African-American males. Mr. Hampton took over the band in the school's second year.
He had a lofty vision of what a marching band could be. He honed that vision by studying college bands across the country.
At football games, most bands would march into a formation, then stand still while playing the music.
"He wasn't happy with that, " recalled Carl Blouin, a former student who served as assistant director from 1959 to 1992.
Blouin's first year as a teacher at St. Augustine was also the year the band revealed the fruit of its director's studies.
"Mr. Hampton had gone to workshops in the summer. He wanted to instill in us a different style of marching, " Blouin said.
The result was "patterns in motion, " an approach in which band members created complicated formations while marching a precise eight steps every 5 yards. Soon, Mr. Hampton's halftime shows rivaled the games themselves for entertainment value.
"I don't want to get in a fight with the football coach, but I do know a large number of people who go to our games come to hear the music and see the band, " Mr. Hampton said in a 1981 interview.
Such was the band's renown that, in 1967, St. Augustine's band desegregated Carnival, becoming the first black band to march down St. Charles Avenue in the Rex parade.
Though a great honor, marching in previously all-white Carnival celebrations was not without a price.
"Parades used to march through the French Quarter, " Blouin recalled. "That wasn't too pleasant because the people on the balconies would throw things on us and some of the things they threw, you don't drink those things. You know what I mean?"
Band earns accolades
Under Mr. Hampton's direction, the St. Augustine band achieved national renown, performing for Pope John Paul II, eight U.S. presidents, several Super Bowl audiences, the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, Calif., and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York.
The band was able to march through insults, vile projectiles and roses in part because of the St. Augustine mystique, an unwritten code of conduct and point of pride the band director helped instill in his young musicians.
"The first thing he did was appeal to our integrity, " said Terence Blanchard, the Grammy-winning trumpet player who played in the St. Augustine band in the late 1970s. "He constantly talked about having pride in what you did, having integrity in everything you did."
"Hamp taught us discipline, respect and leadership, " said D'Juan Hernandez, a local businessman who played trombone in the band in the 1980s.
"Those were critical value traits you had to have for him. All he asked of you was to be honest with him and to work hard."
If St. Augustine can be said to have a certain mystique, Mr. Hampton can be said to have exemplified it.
"He was like a legend, " said Michael White, a jazz clarinetist who played in St. Augustine's band from 1968 to 1972.
Someone to look up to
For his students, Mr. Hampton embodied the same kind of authoritative cool they saw in the silver screen detective John Shaft.
"At the time when the Black Power Movement came up and people were looking at 'Shaft' and folks like that, Hamp was like a living legend, " White recalled. "He used to wear the leather jackets and drive gold cars."
This combination of street credibility and no-nonsense teaching defined Mr. Hampton's style.
"This majestic man walked in front of the band with this white beard, and I was just in awe, " said celebrated trumpeter Leroy Jones, who played in the band in the 1970s.
"Mr. Hamp was a disciplinarian, yet he was a gentle man, " Jones recalled. "He would quickly call you a clobber head if you did something you had no business doing."
While always aware of prevailing trends, Mr. Hampton managed to maintain his high musical standards in a changing musical world.
"At a time when bands were starting to play pop music to please the crowd, he played pop music too, but he also emphasized the difficult marches, " White said.
The band's signature tune was the Roland Seitz composition "March Grandioso." Other classic marches in the Marching 100 repertoire included "Barnum and Bailey's Favorite" and "Confidence, " White recalled.
"For a kid to play in a marching band and never play a John Phillips Sousa march is blasphemy, " Mr. Hampton said in a 2004 interview.
In addition to his work at St. Augustine, Mr. Hampton also played piano and saxophone, most notably in the Royal Dukes of Rhythm.
'St. Augustine was his life'
Mr. Hampton was born in Jacksonville, Texas, in 1928. He came to New Orleans to attend Xavier University.
His only child, Tamara Hingle, remembered him as "a very humble man, a very loving and caring man."
Though he was a doting father, "St. Augustine was his life, " Hingle said.
"I talked to him when I took over the band, " said Virgil Tiller, who in 2006 became only the second band director in St. Augustine's history.
"He told me if I was serious about teaching kids music, there were some things I'd have to give up, " Tiller recalled. "It would take over my life."
Mr. Hampton's love for the school continued even after he retired, his daughter said.
"Living with him in the last five years was real rough, " Hingle said. "He was sick. He fought with Alzheimer's disease.
"He was still dedicated to St. Augustine. He was still just wanting to be of assistance to the band, to the school, up until the very day he died."
Mr. Hampton is survived by his daughter and her four children, Yakitha Hingle, Mikell Hingle, Malcolm Hingle and Anthony Hingle.
Funeral arrangements, which are being handled by Rhodes Funeral Home, are not complete.

To my mentor, my teacher, my molder. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to march for you. I reflect, and live by the principals you taught me even today as a successful business owner. You taught me how to prepare, how to practice, how to present, and most importantly how to project myself as a honorable respectful African American. We love you, thank you for dedicating your life to producing quality young men. We came to St Aug from all over the city and you loved us regardless of the wealth of our families, or the complexion of our skin. I am very proud to say that I was once a member of the St Aug Marching 100. Thank youInappropriate? Alert us.

That's quite interesting that neither THE WHITE HOUSE , OR THE CITY OF NEW YORK'S MAYOR was not notified of this PHOTO OOPS,HMMM , heads may not roll this time just yet it certainly turned more than REPUBLICAN HEADS .
HMM WHAT DO YOU KNOW 24 HRS LATER SENATOR SPECTER OF PENNSYLVANIA CHOOSES SMARTLY TO BECOME A REGISTERED DEMOCRAT, OK WHO IS NEXT?
GOV. SARAH PALIN ARE YOU LISTENING? NOW MIGHT BE YOUR CHANCE TO BECOME A REAL REGISTERED DEMOCRAT
