if they do ,at least they will be on the road to success ,just gotta get the colour changed to orange !!!
While there might be a smidgin of tongue in cheek irony to what
wrote... you gotta ask the question;
"why did they buy the Husaberg trademark (and technical R&D) if they were just going to turn the Bergs into blue and yellow plastic covered oranges?"
When KTM first acquired Husaberg, the blue and yellow crew were under a lot of pressure from Mattighofen to get their act together (production effectiveness and production numbers) up to scratch. This I know because I was personally involved (in my day job) when the engineering company I then worked for (2001- 2004), was approached by Husaberg management (the plant was then still located at Rofors in Sweden) to offer and be involved in a project to look at improving the production line logistics and productivity.
In those days, the model range was still soley fourestrokes - the second generation 4t engine 450/550/650 enduro, MX and SM models. By investing in better more effective line/assembly equipment and improving the assemby workstations etc. it was hoped they would attain the productivity/economy that the bosses in Austria decreed the brand needed to meet, and to that end; keep production in Sweden.
But it was too little too late and ultimately the orange bean counters gave the order to close up shop, and Husaberg production was moved to Austria. While a Scandinavian sales and marketing office was established in Örebro, as well as the R & D dept. (for Husaberg)... the folks responsible for what (ultimately) we came to know as the FE 70 degree "sloper" motors.
Now the 450/570 FE and the later introduced 390 FE fourstroke engined Husabergs have - since their introduction in 2009 - met with critical acclaim... for their ingenuity, performance (two things Husaberg has always strived for) and of late - a reputation for build quality and reliability (not always things immediately associated with the early generation Bergs) that saw them gain a great deal of popularity, among the Husaberg faithfull AND riders of other makes (who crossed to the blue yellow camp).
It seemed that the Husaberg brains trust in Örebro had come upon a winner!?
The about a year or so ago... Husaberg got the two stroke TE models to compliment their 4 stroke sibblings...
Hey, hang on a minute...?
These are just EXC's with the orange plastic replaced, and a set of the *Berg spec' twin chamber USD fork up the front...? What gives (I thought at the time).
While I could have understood, had the Husaberg differed somewhat from the KTM offering from a technical (or capacity class) aspect... this was clearly just a plastics colour change. Okay... so Husa doesn't HAVE a two stroke range to offer (maybe they were going to put the new prototype slant twostrokes into production... and this was a way to "start" the blue two stroke revolution at 'Berg...? I reasoned?)
Then during 2011 came the whispers that the 70 degree engined FE's were getting the "knock on the head" from 2013 onwards... that even the 4 stroke Husabergs would be "blue/yellow" plastic EXC's in the future?
Are the Mattighofen bigwigs really going to maintain the two brand competition by offering the SAME bikes in two different colour schemes (I always thought that was the job of companies like ACERBIS, UFO, Polysport etc.)
Why I wonder...?

make me LAUGH!!
I am a (new-ish) nurse and I love my job and all of my fun co-workers. Some things that I really enjoy...concerts in the summer, live bands any night, grilling out, swimming, traveling, and movies. I love music. One of my favorite things to do is to see a concert or go see a local band play (preferably their own tunes). Some of my favorite bands are Dave Matthews Band, Jack Johnson, Kings of Leon, Muse, Coldplay, John Mayer, Audioslave, hmmm... I will expand on those thoughts if you'd like to.. I am finding that I don't find myself at the bar quite as often as I used to (not that i am convinced that's a place to meet your match) and I work night shift. So that makes it hard to run into any potential dates. I figured I would give this a shot! I'm hoping to meet someone that could be a potential life-long partner. We're not getting any younger! :D My perfect man would be much like my dad and my sister. He will be successful and driven, but at the same time he is a COMPLETE goofball, constantly making me laugh. I want someone that I can have a good time with. I want to just be stupid retarded and have a good time. I don't want to talk about politics (because I really just don't CARE) or just sit and be serious and dull. Now, of course I am not crazy and joking all of the time. There is a time for serious. But dating recently, I have found that's what I really enjoy. I am not claiming to be a comedian. I am not even the funny one. But I want a laid back goofball to make ME laugh. Because that's what I enjoy. :)

'Bachelor' Spoiler! Is Juan Pablo Galavis Already Single?
'Bachelor' Spoiler! Is Juan Pablo Galavis Already Single?
'Bachelor' Spoiler! Is Juan Pablo Galavis Already Single?
Is Juan Pablo gunning for another reality show? Spoiler alert! He's sure been wrapped up in a lot of d-r-a-m-a since he sent Clare Crawley home and Bachelor cameras stopped rolling.
First, there are the naked photos of the single dad that his final choice — Nikki Ferrell — supposedly sent to friends. The infamous pics claim to show Juan Pablo in all his, ahem, excited glory — and were clearly intended to be a private gift that somehow stumbled into the public sphere.
And then, of course, there are the countless pictures of Juan Pablo getting maybe a little too close to a variety of women — some shared on his own Instagram page! Have you heard the reports by Star that he was spotted getting awfully cozy with Cuban-American singer and model Mayra Verónica at a Miami Heat game in early February?
All this would seem to indicate that during the "After the Final Rose" special next week, we'll learn all about the shortest relationship in Bachelor history. That is, unless Juan Pablo and Nikki have been playing us all from the start? Could it be that the pair created a stir that they're broken up to beat the 'spoilers culture' and give us all a huge surprise that they are madly in love and happy?
Sounds a little far fetched, we know. What do you think: Will Juan Pablo follow in Bachelor Sean Lowe's footsteps and make it down the aisle?

At Cafe Aroma, steaming mugs of espresso drinks pair with hearty soups, salads, and sandwiches. As baristas pour out frothy cappuccinos and lattes, cooks heap chicken parmigiana, italian sausage, or prosciutto ricotta on fresh bread. The restaurant's soups and specials change daily, much like the tires of the world's most immaculate cars.

The former MSU-Mankato football player critically injured in an assault in downtown Mankato last month is continuing to show improvement. The family of Isaac Kolstad says there have been "exciting movements from Isaac" that include scratching itchy spots, tracking familiar people with his eyes, and grabbing the phone when his wife Molly made a video call to his hospital room. However, they also say that a blood clotting problem has worsened and that will delay any surgeries for an undetermined period of time. Kolstad's next step is rehabilitation at a traumatic brain injury facility. The 24-year-old was hospitalized May 11th following a beating incident outside a Mankato bar. Former Gophers quarterback Philip Nelson of Mankato and Trevor Shelley of St. Peter have been charged in the assault.

The many facets of Leo DiCaprio: The Wolf of Wall Street
By Michael Russnow
As Oscar voters continue to mark their ballots until this Wednesday, I wonder what goes into their thinking? Do they vote specifically for what they believe is the best achievement of last year, a surprising performance and accomplishment or is it a cumulative assessment of someone's career?
For all these reasons, and not just one, I'm going against the grain of what appears to be the general consensus and strongly suggest that Leonardo DiCaprio deserves the Oscar this year for The Wolf of Wall Street, even more than favorite Matthew McConaughey.
This doesn't in any way diminish McConaughey's performance in Dallas Buyers Club. It was terrific, and the subject matter of the film made it that much more compelling. However, DiCaprio's execution, in my view, was even more powerful, in particular as it was a totally different characterization and portrayal than we've ever seen from the actor before.
It's hard to realize sometimes that Leo has been in filmdom's consciousness for twenty-one years, since he was elevated from his sitcom supporting role in ABC's Growing Pains to the wow factor engendered in his major debut role opposite Robert De Niro in This Boy's Life. Later in 1993 that respect was magnified when he stole What's Eating Gilbert Grape from Johnny Depp and was rewarded with his first Oscar nomination at the age of nineteen.
For the next several years, he continued to intrigue audiences with a different assortment of characters, sometimes in mixed films such as Basketball Diaries and Total Eclipse, in more respected fare such as Marvin's Room and Romeo and Juliet, and finally emerging as a superstar in Titanic.
Since then he has won fans and critical plaudits for his work in Catch Me If You Can, a young Howard Hughes in The Aviator, as a South African in Blood Diamond and an undercover policeman in The Departed, sometimes Oscar nominated, more times not and sometimes robbed of a nod as in the case of J. Edgar and last year's Django Unchained.
Through it all, he has mostly been acclaimed for quirky dramatic performances until finally his well-known personal impishness came forth comedically in The Wolf of Wall Street. In this film, which I mostly liked but not entirely, Leo displayed so many facets, delivering emotional high points while also sometimes hysterically funny, that I wonder if his excellence has become so expected we don't realize how different the role is and […]
Boycott Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice – Fire Donald Trump Jr.
HollywoodNews.com: Boycott Donald Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice" show UNTIL Donald "Animal Killer" Trump Jr. is FIRED! Who wants to see a heartless, arrogant, animal killer on national television?
Congratulations to Marcus Lemonis, CEO of Camping World, who cancelled being a sponsor of "Celebrity Apprentice," and denounced Donald Trump Jr., who serves as a judge on the current season, for posing for photos with dead animals he killed on a hunt in Zimbabwe.
"I am totally disgusted by the hunting pics I have seen and was surprised to see them," Lemonis told TMZ.
Animal butchery. Donald Trump's sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, kill an elephant, leopard, and many more animals in sick African killing. It is despicable. According to TMZ.Com Donald Trump Jr. said "Yes, I Killed Those Animals… and I'm PROUD of It!" The Trump name is being tarnished. The Trump brothers should be ostracized by society at large.
So, more companies should stop any and all business activities with the Trumps until Donald Trump Jr. is FIRED. How cruel can educated and privilege young men be?
IMPORTANT NOTE: In addition, they do it in a country that is run by a murderous dictator, Robert Mugabe. So, the Trumps are helping Mugabe's dictatorship to continue his reign of terror against his own people.
See photos of the killings at TMZ.COM
"Like all animals, elephants, buffalo, and crocodiles deserve better than to be killed and hacked apart for two young millionaires' grisly photo opportunity. If the Trumps want to help villagers, they have plenty of resources at their disposal… Left alone, animal populations regulate their own numbers based upon the availability of food and secure habitat… The money spent on hunting fees in this case could have gone toward the building of a school or hospital or planting an orchard, any of which would have had a lasting positive effect on the villagers, rather than patronizing them and reducing them to hunting guides for spoiled, bored, visiting American millionaires," said the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
This was the response on twitter by Don Jr. "I have no shame about the pics. I HUNT & EAT game … I'm a hunter, for that I make no apologies… You think we wasted the meat? It fed a village for a month… I'm a hunter, I won't cower from that because of some losers… Actually the money from hunting fees preserves animals […]
Trump's sons brutal African killings

MTV Movie Awards Are Back!
HollywoodNews.com: Fans will fall in love with their favorite movies from the past year all over again and get a first-look at films to come when MTV returns to the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, CA for the "2012 MTV Movie Awards." The 21st annual award show will air LIVE on Sunday, June 3rd at 9PM (ET/PT). MTV also announced that this year's telecast will be executive produced by Jesse Ignjatovic of Den of Thieves for the first time.
Known as one of the most outrageous and distinctive televised award shows, the "2012 MTV Movie Awards" will feature its trademark individuality and irreverence. Fusing the network's musical core with the wonder, scale and energy of the movie-going experience, the telecast is set to provide more laughs, surprises and one-of-a-kind moments with Hollywood's biggest stars gathering to honor fan-favorites from the past year and beyond.
"Just as Jesse has done with our 'Video Music Awards', we know he'll infuse this year's 'Movie Awards' with creative, musical and cinematic elements that fully tap into the sense of awe our audience experiences in a movie theater," said Stephen Friedman, President of MTV. "In his inspired hands, this year's show will be re-imagined to deliver a telecast that reflects our audiences' favorite films, music and stars."
The "2012 MTV Movie Awards" will be available to a potential viewing audience of more than 1.2 billion people via MTV's global network of more than 60 channels reaching nearly 600 million households around the world as well as through syndication. In addition, its convergent programming & content will reach the entire interactive community, via MTV's more than 200 digital media properties around the world.
Jesse Ignjatovic of Den of Thieves has served as executive producer for the "MTV Video Music Awards" for the past five years, including the "2011 Video Music Awards" that scored MTV's biggest audience in the network's history.
The "2011 MTV Movie Awards" delivered a 3.9 rating among P12-34, averaging 4.5 million viewers, and its largest audience among teens since 2004 – a 5.4 rating overall, and whopping 8.3 rating among female teens.
The show kept its tradition as Hollywood's most atypical and irreverent awards show, with host Jason Sudeikis providing laugh-out-loud moments, a surprise appearance by Justin Bieber, a naughty-but-nice presentation by Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis, GENERATION AWARD winner Reese Witherspoon providing a message of female empowerment, and the stars of the night's big winner "The Twilight Saga: […]
Oscars: Billy Crystal Was Far From His Best
By Michael Russnow
HollywoodNews.com: The Academy Awards was a lot better than last year's offering and generally moved along pretty well. However, Billy Crystal's performance was mixed. Sometimes he was spot on and in other instances resorted to forced humor that missed its mark.
After Morgan Freeman's opening we saw Billy in an uninspiring repeat of what he'd done so well many times before, inserting himself into reproductions of well-known clips from the top films. Maybe it's because he's done it so many times. It's true that he hasn't been host since 2004, and we often enjoy an entertainer repeating his or her best work, but like an aging singer whose voice doesn't hold up when the muscles sag, what was downright hysterical in past years, like when he came out as Hannibal Lecter in 1992, this go-around didn't work too well for me in 2012.
The one exception was from The Descendants, when George Clooney recreated his visit to his comatose wife, played by Crystal lying in bed. Clooney's kiss was so heartfelt it provided a big laugh. The Justin Bieber bit from Midnight in Paris wasn't bad. Not so much the scene with Tom Cruise from Mission Impossible, nor was Crystal's business spoofing The Help or Tintin particularly funny.
Oddly when he segued into his Oscar medley it worked better, with the lyrics sharp and engaging. After that, it was hit and miss. Sometimes very clever and other times flat. And when the latter happened he often responded defensively, at one point indicating the band in the pit liked the joke. He also was a bit insensitive regarding the age of some of the nominees as he mentioned octogenarians Christopher Plummer and Max von Sydow, followed by senility jokes at their expense. Considering that Crystal himself is pushing 64 and that ageism besetting Hollywood is rampant with many talented professionals unemployed, it's just not funny anymore.
As the three hour ten minute show progressed, they whizzed through awards at a relatively rapid pace. Instead of starting with a celebrity award, such as supporting actor and actress, they began with Tom Hanks presenting Oscars for cinematography and art direction, both of which went on the scorecard for Hugo.
There was a montage of film clips that moved along all right, but, unless I missed one, it appeared that it was as if movie history began with 1969's Midnight Cowboy, because none of the featured films […]

Marie Colvin killed: Syrian forces had pledged to kill 'any journalist who set foot on Syrian soil'
"Our mission is to report these horrors of war with accuracy and without prejudice," said Marie Colvin. "The Syrian army is simply shelling a city of cold, starving civilians."
Today it was confirmed that the war correspondent Marie Colvin has died in the Syrian city of Homs.
Marie Colvin was killed alongside French photographer Remi Ochlik, 28, in a rocket attack on the besieged city of Homs.
What is the world waiting for? We keep watching women and children being killed and we do NOTHING. Call/email your congressman/senator… do something to put pressure on the White House… the killings MUST STOP

The Help Should Win the Oscar for Best Picture
HollywoodNews.com: It is almost that time again; time to see what people are wearing as well as who says what in their acceptance speeches. Also, this year it's the return of Billy Crystal as host. Yes, it's Oscar time and while the world won't know until this Sunday who actually wins these awards, here are who Americans think should win some of the top honors.
This year, one in five Americans (21%) believes that The Help should win the Academy Award for best picture while one in ten (9%) say the Oscar should go to War Horse. Next on the list is Moneyball (7%) followed by The Artist (6%), Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (5%) and The Descendants (5%). Small percentages believe the Oscar should go to Hugo (3%), Midnight in Paris (3%) and The Tree of Life (2%). One-third of Americans (34%) are not sure who the best picture Oscar should go to this year and 6% say it should go to none of the nominated films.
These are some of the results of The Harris Poll of 2,239 adults surveyed online between February 13 and 15, 2012 by Harris Interactive.
There is a bit of a gender difference for best picture. For women, it is clear as three in ten (29%) say The Help should win best picture. Men are a little more divided as 13% say The Help but 12% say Moneyball.
Best Actor and Actress
When it comes to the best actor statue, almost one quarter of Americans (23%) say George Clooney should win for The Descendants followed by 16% who say Brad Pitt should win for his role in Moneyball. One in ten (10%) believe the Oscar should go to Gary Oldman for Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, followed by 7% who say Jean Dujardin should win for his role in The Artist and 1% who believe the award should go to Dimian Bichr for A Better Life. Just over one-third of Americans (35%), however, say they are not sure who should win the best actor Oscar and 7% believe none of the nominated actors should win.
For best actress, there are two actresses at the top as 23% of Americans believe Viola Davis should win for her role in The Help while 22% think the award should go to Meryl Streep for her portrayal of The Iron Lady. One in ten believe Rooney Mara should win […]

"Arrowtown" Top 5 Page for this destination Arrowtown by allikat
Arrowtown Travel Guide: 114 reviews and 311 photos
They discovered gold in the Arrow River back in 1862 and Arrowtown was born. Originally named "Fox's" after one of the miners, this gold-mining settlement quickly grew into a flourishing township. To begin with, it was a typical shanty-town, but before long they began to build and at it's height Arrowtown was home to around 7000 miners, families and workers. The tents had been replaced by stone and the town was here to stay.
Nowadays, the population is far less, the gold has gone and the miners have been replaced with tourists. Arrowtown is about 25 minutes from Queenstown, New Zealand's busy adventure capital. Consequently, Arrowtown and the surrounding Central Otago area are very much year-round destinations, busy in both the peak summer season and the winter ski season. However, one of the reasons I loved Arrowtown, apart from it's sense of history, is the fact that it had a much quieter feel to it than Queenstown or Wanaka. Of course, it is much smaller than either of those spots, but I got to feel this was home to it's residents rather than just a tourist-trail marker. A lovely little township to wander round and explore.
- Pros:Lots of history, plenty to see and an amazing mountain backdrop.
- Cons:I imagine the main street can get very busy, with cars parked nose to tail along it.
- In a nutshell:Very much a thriving community, Arrowtown has the feel of a township with a real heart and soul.

What an intriguing place.
Lovely new page on a pretty little town, and lots of good photos too !
Wonderful white wysteria ! Those little huts look really uncomfortable - I hope they found enough gold for it to be worthwhile. Sweet shop sounds fun. Liz.
Ah HA!!! sooooooo....you did take some photos, and lovely ones they are. Well worth the wait!!! Arrowtown looks a lot like Kaslo on Kootenay Lake. Both were mining towns

I agree completely with the article, my biggest problem with windows 8 is that it's a solid evidence for how "modern UI" and computing is going in the direction of dumbing down everything for the sake of making it simple. A good UI, IMO, is the one that achieves the balance between having too much options (like most of linux DEs) and providing too basic options and restricting customization. (like Metro/Modern UI).
Compared to mobile interfaces Windows 8 has pretty good amount of options (on the "Modern UI" side) but on a desktop it's absolutely pathetic; you can't use custom titles backgrounds without hacks for example. Imagine having to use an external application and various hacks to edit a shortcut icon. That's how limiting windows 8 interface is, and if this is the future, then the future of computing is quite bleak.
Posted 03 November 2012 - 19:04
Wait what?
You can do everything on 8 that you can do in 7, and even more.
Have you even used 8?

Posted 03 November 2012 - 19:14
Yes, I have used it. I meant Modern UI of windows 8. Which, obviously, is going to be the UI that Microsoft continues developing in the future much more than the legacy desktop. Windows 8 Modern UI indicates the direction microsoft is taking for UI, the fact that desktop is still there doesn't change anything about it.

This October has made me sick. Obviously, it's never easy to watch your favorite team fail to show up for an entire postseason series, but my nausea runs deeper than that. There was a sentiment running rampant through the Yankee universe that seemed to calm the storm that was an October failure. This sentiment reared its ugly head in game 3 and has continued through today. It has to stop.
Game three was a classic pitcher's duel, with Cliff Lee besting Andy Pettitte due to one early mistake. Tough pill to swallow, but apparently some Yankee fans had no issue with it. "Don't worry, he'll be pitching for the other side next year" many said. Boy, I hope not.
I have realized that I'm probably in the minority here, but I do not want Cliff Lee in pinstripes.
Yes, you read that right. A lifelong Yankee fan does NOT want Cliff Lee on his team. Let me explain.
For months, many have dubbed it a foregone conclusion that Mr. Lee will end up in the Bronx. Heck, the guy was very close to being with the Yankees for the stretch run this year. That trade was almost official, but pulled back at the last minute. Hours later, Lee was gone to Texas for a much weaker prospect package. Coincidence?
It would seem odd that an organization would pull a player back to get a worse package. Did Seattle really think that highly of Justin Smoak? I'm thinking no.
I have contended that Lee himself pulled the deal back for a couple of reasons. I think he enjoys being the foil to the Yankees more than he would enjoy playing for them, but more importantly, he realized that he would get more money on the open market, so getting traded to the Yankees and being forced into an extension might cost him a couple of million dollars. That poor thing!
Instead, Lee got himself to Texas, as short drive away from his Arkansas roots. Despite a poor second half performance, Lee's dominance in the postseason has solidified the southpaw as the hottest commodity on the market. He will command a contract as hefty as CC Sabathia's (contract and weight), but will he get that from New York?
Most assume he would since the Yankees are always among the frontrunners for high priced free agents, but this time it's not so certain. Before we even look at personal issues, let's first examine the current Yankee landscape. The starting rotation loses Javier Vasquez and his 11.5 million dollars for sure, but the key to this decision will be Andrew Eugene Pettitte.
While many talk about Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte has been just as important to the Yankees championships runs as either of those men. As the all-time leader in postseason wins with 19, one would think this achievement would give the left hander a lifetime pass for contract negotiations. Along with C.C. Sabathia, the two make up a dynamic lefty duo for any rotation. Apparently, this isn't enough.
Some have been quick to put Pettitte out to pasture, but not me. Until the Texas native announces that he is not coming back (and I hope he doesn't), why should the Yankee organization push him out the door? He has done so much for the Yankees and it would seem to be a slap in the face to negotiate with Lee before talking with Pettitte about his future. Any decent organization would deal with their own guy first, even if it costs you the hot, young stud. At least, you would hope so. Last year, Pettitte played for 11.75 million, putting the combined total of Pettitte and Vasquez at a little over 22 million. That would be enough coming off the books to justify signing Lee without upping payroll, but again, that's contingent on Pettitte retiring. Anyone hoping that will happen just to sign Lee, well, is clearly not a true Yankee fan.
Of course, with the Yankees pitching struggles this postseason, it would be easy to target perhaps the best postseason pitcher this year. If I know that and you know that, don't you think Cliff Lee knows that?
Lee is going to press the Yankees for every dollar he can, and he's given every impression that he is concerned only about money. This is not the type of individual that will thrive in a championship driven city.
Let's take Mark Teixeira as a counterpoint. Teixeira entered the free agent market 2 years ago as a 28 year old. He was a 1st baseman with power, a great glove, and excellent intangibles. Teams from all around the majors targeted him as a can't miss free agent.
With suitors lining up for Teixeira, including the hometown Baltimore Orioles and close-to-home Washington Nationals, the former Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket chose to go a little further up I-95 and play for the Yankees. In doing so, he actually took less money than the Nationals were offering. So much is made of the Yankees wallets, but what drew this young man to the Bronx was tradition and the ability to compete for championships. At that time, Baltimore and Washington couldn't provide that.
On the flip side, Lee has never given any indication that he wants to play in New York. Quite the opposite, actually. If you want to buy into my theory, I believe he had a say in cancelling the trade that would have brought him to the Bronx in July. Lee's only motivation to pitch in New York is the biggest paycheck. Further proof came just days ago.
In the midst of her husband preparing to start game 1 of the World Series, Kristen Lee made headlines with her allegations of Yankee fans spitting and spilling beer on her and the others wives at game 3 of the ALCS. That was the game her husband shut down the hometown Yankees. I'm guessing this isn't the first time drunken fans at a sporting event did something stupid, so why did this incident make the news? Money, of course.
Think about it. Kristen Lee claims that she doesn't feel comfortable in New York. She claims that she would have trouble living among "people like that" and that is a hinderance in her husband signing with New York. The only counter to this would be the Yankees offering more money. It's leverage! To be honest, it's despicable.
It's pretty clear that the Lee family is trying to milk the Yankee organization for all its worth. This is becoming a situation where the Lee's know the Yankees have the finances to provide what they believe they are worth and are squeezing them for every penny. Knowing the country boy in Lee would rather stay down in Texas, they are making themselves willing to make the move for money and money only. Sure, Lee's good friend C.C. Sabathia is in New York, but other than a mention two years ago of this, it's a non issue. Lee has made it abundantly clear through his actions that this offseason is about money and money only.
This is a guy who knows that he's got a ton of value and he's using it to his advantage. That's all fine and good, but I have no interest in bringing a money hungry, heartless player into a clubhouse hellbent on getting back to and winning the World Series. I can only forsee nightmares like Lee upsetting the rotation because he gets a bonus for innings and needs to get those in before the season ends. This leads to an early postseason exit due to everyone being out of sync, but Lee goes home happy with his extra million.
There are just too many bad vibes coming out of the Lee camp and I'm not sure that he's the right fit for the Yankees. If he truly does want to don the pinstripes, he better have a swift change in attitude. A good start would be for the Yankees to offer him a figure equal to what Texas would be offering, if and only if Andy Pettitte is not back in the fold. With Pettitte around, an overload of lefties is not ideal for the rotation. However, if this man truly wants to win in New York and play with his "best friend", he would do so for a figure equal or less than market value. Anything over, I'd tell the 32 year old to take his chin hair, his crying wife, and his ego elsewhere. This town does not need players who don't buy into the team concept. It already has the Mets for that.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the Israeli military to respond to Gaza rocket fire moments before a three-day truce expired on Wednesday, an Israeli official said.
"With the breach of the cease-fire by Hamas, the prime minister and defense minister ordered the Israeli military to act in response. The order was issued before midnight," the official told reporters speaking on condition of anonymity.
Hamas had denied involvement in one of two incidents of rocket fire aimed at Israel just before the truce expired at 2100 GMT.
Israel has so far had no comment on a deal Palestinians announced in Cairo saying they had agreed with Israel to extend that truce in a month-old war by another five days, or through Monday.
