    BY MICHAEL SNEED Sun-Times Columnist 
    Dugout dirt ...
    A politically charged baseball -- once signed by Gov. Rod Blagojevich and former U.S. Sen. Peter Fitzgerald -- has been bought by a whistleblower, who calls it his "Holy Grail."
    
    &Acirc;&raquo; Click to enlarge image
     
    Michael Sneed 
    
    
    
    &acirc;&#128;&cent;   &acirc;&#128;&cent;   Translation: The baseball was sold for an undisclosed sum to the "Hired Truck" whistleblower Patrick McDonough, who sued the city after claiming he was fired for speaking out.
    
    &acirc;&#128;&cent;   &acirc;&#128;&cent;   The upshot: McDonough, who now works in the city's Water Management Department, tells Sneed: "Peter Fitzgerald, when he was a U.S. senator, brought in U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald -- both men I greatly admire for their crime fighting."
    
    &acirc;&#128;&cent;   &acirc;&#128;&cent;   The kicker: McDonough's 12-year-old son is named Peter.
    
    &acirc;&#128;&cent;   &acirc;&#128;&cent;   The backshot: The ball was sold by Keith McDonough, owner of Bleacher Sports in Winnetka.

      <![CDATA[Friday, March 20
    12-1pm
    
    Jane Addams Hull-House Museum
    Residents' Dining Hall
    800 S. Halsted
    Chicago, IL 
    
    Reservations are recommended. Please call 312.413.5353.
    
    Is gentrification necessarily negative or inevitable?  Who benefits and who loses in gentrification? What are some strategies being used in Chicago and around the globe to stop gentrification?  How will the deepening economic crisis and the proposed 2016 Olympic Games affect patterns of gentrification in Chicago?
    
    In his 1968 work of the same title, French philosopher and sociologist Henri Lefebvre coined the phrase "the right to the city," which social theorist and Lefebvre expert David Harvey describes as "the right to command the whole urban process." Current scholarship on immigration by UIC sociologist Amalia Pallares explores who has this right, asserting that although undocumented immigrants are not recognized as citizens of the state, they are denizens of the city and thus have rights and responsibilities to shape the social, political, and economic spaces in which they live and work. 
    
    Join us for a lively discussion of gentrification and the philosophical and socio-economic issues that surround it. How can gentrification be analyzed in terms of race, class, gender, and citizenship status? What is the relationship of historic preservation efforts to developing and maintaining sustainable communities? 
    
    Who, ultimately, has the right to the city?
    
    Suggested Reading
    The Right to the City by David Harvey 
    
    "Contested Chicago: Pilsen and Gentrification" by Paul Lloyd Sargent
    
    "Chicago's Olympic Bid Stokes Gentrification Fears" by Wendell Hutson
    
    Series Description
    The Sophonisba Breckinridge Brown Bag Discussion Series seeks to provide a new kind of space for the UIC community to come together for open dialogue about contemporary social and scholarly issues. Distinct from the classroom or public forum, the discussion series will create an alternative space for engaged scholarship on campus. We invite you to bring your lunch and join us for a series of spirited conversations in the historic Residents' Dining Hall, where Jane Addams and other Hull-House residents discussed and debated the critical issues of their day and conspired for a more just and peaceful world.
    
    Sophonisba Preston Breckinridge (1866-1948) was a social reformer, social work educator, and resident of the Hull-House Settlement. Breckinridge received a Ph.D. in political science and a J.D. degree from the University of Chicago, and was the first woman admitted to the Kentucky bar. With her friend and fellow Hull-House resident Edith Abbott, Breckinridge cofounded the University of Chicago's School of Social Service Administration, where she taught for many years. Believing that academic and field work were mutually informative, Breckinridge both published theoretical studies on social welfare and was active in the campaigns for peace, women's suffrage, racial equality, immigrants' rights, fair housing, and fair labor laws.

      <![CDATA[The city of Chicago likes to say it is a 'green' city. Numerous puff pieces and LEED certified projects are listed in the national magazines. But as you point out there is no rational trash policy only starts, fits and gasps and occasional victories. Perhaps it is time to revisit pay to throw, a styrofoam ban or anything other than this MESS where some wards get curb /alley bluecarts,others a dropoff site with mixed paper and bottles and cans and everyone else can throw it on the streets!
