Short selling isn't a new phenomenon, it's been around ever since the origin of the stock market. However, the sellers' pessimism that goes along with short selling hasn't always been welcomed.
Short sellers bet against the stock. Instead of rooting for stock prices to go up, they seek an opportunity to make money by expecting a decline. Short sellers borrow the stock from a broker, sell it, and wait for the prices to drop so they can purchase the stock at a cheaper price. (Discuss if Speculators are Useless to Society)
Throughout history, these sellers have been blamed for some of the worst failures in the world's financial markets. Some company executives have accused them of driving down their company's stock prices. Governments have temporarily halted short selling to help markets recuperate and have strengthened laws against some short-selling methods. A few governments have even gone as far as proposing and enacting extreme actions against short sellers. This has occurred throughout history in various countries and industries.
Short selling has been around since the stock markets emerged in the DutchRepublic during the 1600s. In 1610, the Dutch market crashed, and Isaac Le Maire, a prominent merchant, was blamed because he was actively short selling stocks. He was a major shareholder in the Dutch East India Company (also known as Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie or VOC). Le Maire, a former member of the company's board, and his associates were accused of manipulating VOC's stocks. They attempted to drive share prices down by selling large of quantities of shares on the market. The Dutch government took action and instituted a temporary ban on short selling. (Read How Investors Often Cause The Market's Problems for more info.)
Great Britain
In 1733, naked short selling was banned after the fallout from the South Sea bubble of 1720. The difference between naked short selling and the traditional short sale is that the shares being shorted are never actually borrowed by the short seller.
In the case of the South Sea bubble, speculation arose about the South Sea Company's monopoly on trade. The company took over most of the England's national debt, in exchange for exclusive trading rights in the South Sea. This led to a rise in its share prices. Shares rose from nearly £130 to more than one £1000 at its peak. Then the market collapsed. The company was accused of falsely inflating its prices by spreading false rumors about its success. (Learn more about the South Sea Bubble in our article Market Crashes: The South Sea Bubble.)
The stock market was shaky leading up to the beginning of the French Revolution. Napoleon Bonaparte not only outlawed short selling, but considered it unpatriotic and treason and had sellers imprisoned. Bonaparte didn't like the activity because it got in the way of financing his wars and building his empire.
Interestingly, centuries later, short sellers received far harsher treatment than imprisonment. In 1995, the Finance Ministry of Malaysia proposed caning as a punishment for short sellers, because they considered the sellers troublemakers.
Short selling was banned in the U.S. due to the young country's unstable market and speculation regarding the War of 1812. It remained in place until the 1850s when it was repealed.
The U.S. later restricted short selling as a result of the events leading up to the Great Depression. In October 1929, the market crashed, and many people blamed stock trader Jesse Livermore. Livermore collected $100 million when shorting the stock market in 1929. Word spread and the public was outraged. (Read about one of the most famous stock traders in history, Jesse Livermore, in The Greatest Investors: Jesse L. Livermore.)
The U.S. Congress investigated the market crash of 1929, as they were concerned about reports of "bear raids" that short sellers were alleged to have run. They decided to give the newly created Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) power to regulate short selling in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The uptick rule was also first implemented in 1938. The rule stated that investors cannot short a stock unless the last trade was at a higher price than the previous trade. The effort was meant to slowdown the momentum of a security's decline.
A U.S. congressional hearing addressed short selling in 1989, several months after the stock market crash in October, 1987. Lawmakers wanted to look at the effects short sellers had on small companies and the need for further regulation in the markets.
The SEC updated regulation for short selling in 2005, in order to address abuses by naked short sellers with the adoption of Regulation SHO. A couple of years later, it dropped the uptick rule for all equity securities. However, the SEC still monitored naked short selling (even though naked short selling is prohibited in the U.S), and within a few years the SEC took emergency actions to limit illegal naked short selling as the mortgage crisis and credit crisis deepened and fluctuations in the market increased. In the fall of 2008, the financial crisis had spread across the world, leading countries to implement temporary short selling bans and restrictions on financial sectors securities. These countries include the U.S., Britain, France, Germany, Switzerland, Ireland, Canada and others that followed suit. (Read our tutorial on Credit Crisis to get more in-depth information on this crisis.)
Short selling bans have been utilized from the beginning of the financial markets and throughout history to address abuses like spreading negative rumors about a company to manipulate markets. However, many bans are repealed because short sellers have a significant role in the markets. The SEC identifies their importance based on their:
- Contribution to efficient price discovery
- Mitigating market bubbles
- Increasing market liquidity
- Promotion of capital formation
- Facilitating hedging and other management activities
- Limits to upward market manipulation
A good example of the short seller's significance involved identifying the overpriced stock at Enron. Short seller James Chanos examined the company's accounting practices and discovered that something was amiss. Some argue his awareness helped to uncover the accounting fraud known as the "Enron scandal" which put its executives behind bars. (For more information on companies like Enron, check out our related article, The Biggest Stock Scams Of All Time.)

Headline details for Professional Telephone Skills.
Do you wonder why dealing with customers on the telephone can often generate problems that are never encountered face to face?
While telephone enquiries provide sales opportunities, one bad experience with someone on the phone may be enough reason for a customer - even a regular customer - to look elsewhere.
The telephone is your customer's lifeline to your company. Yet although it provides fast and relatively inexpensive communication, it is a medium that is impersonal -- and switchboard and other telephone staff must be able to prevent negative behaviour on both sides.
Course Aims
To raise the awareness of customer service on the telephone and assist delegates in providing telephone service excellence.
Target Audience
All staff members who use the telephone as part of their normal duties.

PITTSFORD Being a bit of a golf historian, Jason Dufner has come to appreciate those that have gone before him, winning major championships and the hearts of fans around the world.
On a glorious Sunday afternoon in Western New York, the laid-back 36-year-old from Auburn, Ala., put his name alongside the likes of Hogan, Nicklaus and Trevino by collecting a major championship at one of the countrys great venues, historic Oak Hill Country Club.
Two years after squandering a lead on the back nine at the PGA Championship, and eventually losing in a playoff, Dufner didnt flinch until the very end of Sundays final round of the 95th PGA Championship.
And it didnt really matter because of his stellar play over the first 16 holes.
Carding a 2-under-par 68, including a 3-under-32 on the front side to seize the lead for good, Dufner claimed his first major crown with a two-shot victory over his playing partner, Jim Furyk.
His four-round total of 270, the lowest of six majors contested here, also included a course record-tying 63 on Friday. So Dufner will have more than a few special memories to take home besides the Wanamaker Trophy.
Coming in I thought it was a ball-strikers course, and that was in my favor, said Dufner, who earned his third career victory. To win on such a great test of golf, with such a great field is something Ill never forget. Ill be able to see my name on that trophy forever.
Dufners putter and iron game were sizzling hot when he needed them the most. He began the round by saving par from four feet on the opening hole, and six feet on the second hole.
Then starting with a 5-foot birdie putt on No. 4, he recorded six consecutive one-putts to make the turn at 11-under-par and gain the momentum for good.
He also hit short irons to two feet on No. 4 and 18 inches on No. 8 for a birdie. Dufners 6-iron to two feet for an eventual final birdie on No. 16 allowed him to even bogey the final two holes and still win.
I knew the course would play a little tougher, and it did, Dufner said. But because Ive been hitting lots of greens and fairways, I was pretty confident I could make some birdies while not taking careless chances.
For the week, Dufner led the field in greens in regulation, hitting an amazing 54 of 72. He also hit more than 75 percent of the fairways.
And while Dufner was producing plenty of magic shots, Furyk could not.
Beginning the day with a one-shot lead over Dufner, he made only two birdies, on 6 and 16, and was faced with long, lag putts all day.
He also bogeyed the final two holes and settled for a 1-over-par 71.
I felt like I played good enough to win today, Furyk said. In last years U.S. Open, I felt like I gave that one away. Today, Jason went out and won it.
None of the other contenders were able to make a final move, either. Swedens Henrik Stenson, starting the day two shots behind, shot a 70 to take third all by himself at 7-under-par.
His countryman, Jonas Blixt, also shot 70 to come in at 6-under par and in fourth all alone.
But it was Dufner who would not be denied this day.
He said he learned patience after losing that PGA in Atlanta to Keegan Bradley, and to truly believe in myself and my game. I decided before I went out today that I would be confident in my swing, and that allowed me to swing aggressively most of the day. The last thing I wanted to do was play scared or soft.
Jason played a great round of golf, Furyk said. He hit three iron shots to within a couple of feet where he had basically tap-ins for birdie. He played incredible.
The pivotal hole was No. 16 as Dufner was clinging to a one-shot lead over Furyk as they teed off. After both hit the fairway, Furyk misjudged his second, landing in deep rough, and left his third also in the rough. He eventually two-putted for bogey, while Dufner ripped his second shot to six feet and then drained the putt.
My up-and-down on 15 was also big, and then I just stuffed that second shot on 16, said Dufner, who earned $1,445,000 for the win. Having a couple shot lead heading to those last two holes was certainly huge.
Scott Piercy fashioned the best round of the day, a 5-under-par 65, to finish at 5-under.
Former PGA champion David Toms had a 67 and finished 4-under. Jason Day was hot early then cooled down and settled for a 67 and ended at 3-under par, as did Zach Johnson (68), Dustin Johnson (69) and defending champion Rory McIlroy (70).
Tiger Woods shot 70 and finished in a tie for 40th spot. Phil Mickelson had a 72 and was tied for 72nd.
Besides the money, the trophy and lasting images, Dufner will also take some Oak Hill acorns and a sampling back to his new, 50-acre spread where hes building a new home in Auburn.
Hopefully, theyll grow to be as beautiful as the trees are here, Dufner said. And every day when I look out my window, it will remind me of this week and this awesome place.

For the third year in a row, Kristen Bell is hosting the CMT Music Awards – and though she's handling the duties solo this year, the Veronica Mars star says she's not sweating it.
"In truth what I do during the show is change into a variety of fancy outfits and read a Teleprompter, so it's not the hardest job in America," she joked to reporters during a press conference in Nashville on Tuesday. "Honestly it doesn't feel like work for me. It feels like a lot of fun. And I have a front-row seat to an amazing concert."
The actress traced her love of country back to her first years in California, where she moved after growing up in Detroit. "The majority of my group of friends in my early 20s were from the South and so a lot of them were playing country artists and I fell in love," she said. "I think it's the most melodic of all the genres and they are easy songs to memorize 'cause they are telling a story, and as a storyteller I gravitate toward that."
Bell, 33, who previously co-hosted the show with Toby Keith and Jason Aldean, said hosting solo will be made easier by the show's lineup of live music, which includes 28 artists performing 24 songs live. "They took some of the pressure off me," she joked.
And though the actress has earned raves for her own singing in Frozen (she voiced main character Anna), she said she has no plans to show off her pipes on Wednesday's show, which airs on CMT at 8 p.m. ET.

David and Victoria Beckham Threaten Legal Action Over Hooker Claims

David Beckham is fuming over accusations that he got down and dirty with a prostitute. On five different occasions. At $10,000 a night.
The salacious story comes courtesy of In Touch (via Celebitchy), which quotes a "former high-class call girl" named Irma Nici as claiming the squeaky-voiced soccer star engaged in threesomes and unprotected nookie.
RELATED VIDEO: David and Victoria's steamy love in an elevator
She also purports to the tab that he was "very gentle and kind" when they supposedly crossed paths in 2007 (yes, 2007, making this titillating tale positively ancient).
"I normally don't kiss," shares the apparently "Pretty Woman"-channeling onetime working girl, "but I thought, 'why not?'"
Oh, and she asserts that David is "more of a butt man than a breast man," and as such supposedly preferred wife Victoria before everything except her cleavage slimmed down.
Not enough of a picture for you? Irma also rates him a 7.5 out of 10 in bed: "He knew what he was doing."
RELATED: Posh and Becks and more celeb couples who work together
Cue the Beckhams' rep, who insists to Us Weekly that the allegations "are completely untrue and totally ridiculous, as [In Touch] was clearly told before publication. Sadly, we live in a world where a magazine can print lies and believe they can get away with it."
What's more, says the mouthpiece, "We are taking legal action against the magazine."
The underwear-posing duo, whose 11-year marriage weathered another wandering-eye scandal back in 2004, will "fight this," a source rails to Us. "They're fed up with people trying to tear them apart. Their love is strong."
In April, David told the ladies of "The View" that he and Victoria were domestically blissed out.
"We've got a great family base," he said. "We've got an amazing three boys [Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, 8, and Cruz, 5], and we protect them with every ounce of energy that we have."

France's positive spin on colonial past creates uproarBreaking News
But the law is stirring anger among historians and passions in places like Algeria, which gained independence in a brutal conflict. Critics accuse France of trying to gild an inglorious colonial past with an "official history."
At issue is language in the law stipulating that "school programs recognize in particular the positive character of the French overseas presence, notably in North Africa."
Deputies of the conservative governing party passed the law in February, but it has only recently come under public scrutiny after being denounced at an annual meeting of historians and in a history professors' petition.
An embarrassed President Jacques Chirac has called the law a "big screw-up," newspapers quoted aides as saying. Education Minister Gilles de Robien said this week that textbooks would not be changed. But the law's detractors want it stricken from the books — something the minister says only parliament can do.
The measure is one article in a law recognizing the "national contribution" of French citizens who lived in the colonies before independence. It is aimed, above all, at recognizing the French who lived in Algeria and were forced to flee, and Algerians who fought on the side of France.
Unlike other colonies, Algeria, the most prized conquest, was considered an integral part of France — just like Normandy. It was only after a brutal eight-year independence war that the French department in North Africa became a nation in 1962, after 132 years of occupation.
Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika has equated the law with "mental blindness" and said it smacks of revisionism. The Algerian Parliament has called it a "grave precedent."

Beginner's Guide To The Bloomberg Terminal: Introduction
Welcome to the Beginner's Guide to Bloomberg. This portion of the guide is aimed at new Bloomberg users, and will provide an overview of how to use a Bloomberg terminal. If you are a more experienced user, or if after reading this guide you want to go into more detail on Bloomberg's capabilities, please be on the lookout for the Advanced Guide to Bloomberg which will soon follow. (For more, see Day Trading Strategies For Beginners.)
In this Basic Guide, we will examine how to sign up for, install and access Bloomberg. We will then go on to covering basic navigation on the Bloomberg system. Navigating Bloomberg is somewhat unique in that the system uses a special keyboard with some keys that are different from those found on a "normal" keyboard. Therefore, the navigation section of this guide will be important to newcomers.
After gaining a working knowledge of these basics, in chapter four we will then move on to discuss some of the market and news monitor functions that are available on Bloomberg. Chapter five will focus on the basics of analyzing securities on Bloomberg. Advanced functionality in this area will be covered in the Advanced Guide; in this Basic Guide we will focus more closely on the types of analysis that Bloomberg allows users to perform. Finally, chapter six will provide some tips and tricks for navigating Bloomberg and getting the maximum possible benefit from this remarkable machine, while chapter 7 will provide a summary and conclusion.

It appears as though I will be haunted the rest of my days by the ghosts of MED. MED was the worst possible stock story... greed, corruption, lawsuits, counter-suits, the Bahamas, Duck Pusss,... let's just say it was ugly. So ugly in fact that I lost about $500,000 in 3 years on MED. To this day none of the characters that swindled $100's of millions (include my 500k) are in jail, they've never been fined, never sanctioned, never had their pee-pee's slapped. It's not right and in fact it's everything that is wrong with our market.
No one, and I mean no one knows more about the corrupted MED story than me. I can talk for days on the subject of MED and the evil empire of NCFE. At one time I thought of writing a book... the story is compelling. But all of that would be boring here.
What isn't boring is: what does the MED fiasco have to do with VAPH? There is only one connection that I know of - the brothers Magliochetti. There are two brothers, Michael J. Magliochetti who is the CEO of Ortho Rehab, and Frank Magliochetti the CEO of MED Deversified.
When I saw the PR on VAPH going with Ortho to do some distribution my early warning system radar went active. I did some checking. To the best of my ability here's what I found:
1) Frank Magliochetti is not an investor with VAPH. He has nothing to do with it. I called VAPH and told them my concerns if he were.
2) Michael Mag is the CEO of Ortho Rehab. Ortho is an arms length distributor. Separate company. They buy product from VAPH and send us money. That's it.
3) Frank and Michael are brothers but that doesn't mean they are the same. Just cuz I stick pins in my Cawrnhole-e-o voodoo doll doesn't mean my brother Mark does the same.
The other connection is that all of these companies are in the Boston area.
As far as the comment that lots of MED investors jumped ship and are now on VAPH... it's untrue. I know almost every hardcore MED-head (we shared a train wreck together) and I have seen none of them here. Jerry Garcia stopped by to say hi about 900 posts ago. He was a MED-head, unfortunately he didn't invest in VAPH, he might have made some money back.
It pisses me off that I have to be the one explaining f-ing MED to the VAPH board. I lost half of a beach house on MED and still it reaches from the grave to taunt me. Thanks Mu-mo and Ducky Pussss, really appreciate that one.
You wanna draw different conclusions than I do about the above story? Go right ahead I don't care. Wanna dig deeper? Fine, I understand. Start with me, I have done TONS of investigative work on MED and NCFE. I have talked with the investigative side of the SEC several times (I called them). If you care, I will be happy to share. Jonny Cochran would be proud of that one!
Because of my MED experience I have become very wary of the stock market. Before I invested in VAPH I talked with several people at VAPH including John Masiz. My impression is they are straight arrows. In fact, they seem about as opposite from the MED guys as you can get. Draw your own conclussions but I think it's unfair to paint them with a MED brush.
Best of Luck,
No he is actually very bright; its just the stories from Kashner Davidson were always exciting and had elements of great plausibility pumped full of important stuff and deals always on the cum - if you know what I mean.
And, actually he's got his money back by playing the short side at the right time on their stuff which is now - on this one.
So, have fun - that's my motto and follow the money
Don't bank on zero until more is known about the technology - probably 30 to 90 days after they develop a plan to deal with the bad press WHICH THEY WILL - so be careful.
But you can bank on much lower prices from here with excellent money-making oppotunities as you cover on the upcoming crashes and reshort on the Kashner pumps.
Actually this is a real money making opportunity -0- I really mean it, and it wouldn't be there without the longs -God Bless Them.
But be careful - betting on zero may get YOU wiped out.
PLAY it on the slide like a big trombone.
That is so true. These guys are here for their own agends--but then again we are as well. They are pros at what they do, dishing dirt. We need a voice of reason here. Godd news, bad news lets be objective. Any time anything good happens to anyone (ie VAPH ran up) those who weren't apart of it must cast stones. They are simply jealous. Heck I wish that I rode it up to. Heck I am jealous! Back off the smear campaign supporters and non supporters alike! Can;t we all be friends!
HRC, right on, with all these guys shouting scam, fraud, etc., one would wonder why they didn't depart days ago? I think they all have agendas that they aren't talking about . . but they sure are loud mouths with their B.S. rhetoric . . . .
You wrote: <"thats why I don't short super thin float stocks like VAPH even though I strongly feel it is a total scam.">
So if you're not short and I assume you're not long "the total scam" then
why are you here?
You say you smell something fishy? I think it may very well be you Pappa.
Tell us about your agenda.
Your friend was incredibly stupid if he put money into these penny stocks by a boiler room. Can't say I feel sorry for him, there's one born every minute. Look at the bright side. At least now he doesn't have that pesky money to worry about investing.
Thanks for the info Hotdog. I've done a lot of research on Kashner lately, which in part led me to my short position. Going back 6 years and looking and all their IPOS, they are all, and I mean all dogs. People were saying here that suddenly that had all changed and Kashner had found the golden goose with VAPH...not!
It's amazing that they are still in business. I have heard back from the SEC and NAS, both thanking me for info, but not commenting on possible investigations. Texman feels its too small a fish to fry for them, but after all these years and all these scams you'd think they'd step in.
I honestly think all, or most, of the longs here that have been posting for a while are plants. I just can't, for the life of me, think how anyone would actually go long thid company other than for a momentum trade.
So are you going to join us for the ride down??It probably will end up at zero or close.
Good point. Kashner is market maker and is privy to the short interest vol. I suspect there will be an attempt to squeeze the shorts at a certain point, thats why I don't short super thin float stocks like VAPH even though I strongly feel it is a total scam.
Nobody is begruging you for protecting your position.
But this connection to Orthorehab is very strange, you have to admit.
Orthorehab. Frank, NOT Michael, Magliochetti is where it leads. See below. Was Orthorehab ever a part of the company MED you are complaining about? Did Orthorehab ever share office in Boston with the MED company? Did the company MED receive any money when it gave away Orthorehab? Did you lose the money in MED because co's like Orthorehab were taken from MED? Does VAPH have any risk associated with this Orthorehab? In your investigation you talked about, have you learned anything about Orthorehab? How can it be that Orthorehab now turns up as the distributor for VAPH and you turn up as having lost $500,000 in MED but you are now making money in VAPH? It could all be innocent, for sure. But you seem to be trying to lead us to believe that Orthorehab has nothing to do with Frank Magliochetti or MED, and that appears ridiculous. If that is not what you are saying, accept all apologies. If that is what you are saying, why are you saying it?

Regarding Ortho, there were two stories that swirlled briefly while I was active in investigating MED's fall.
One story was that Ortho was owned by Chartwell, a Frank Mag company. Chartwell later merged with MED and Frank became CEO. Some debate that Ortho numbers were shown as part of the merger financials to show a higher valuation. Frank deny's that was ever done. In any event, under this version of the story, Ortho was never part of MED. I never found any proof to support or deny the above.
The second story was that Ortho was and is completely separate from Chartwell, MED and NCFE and owned by Michael Mag. Part of this story indicates that Ortho accepted a $4M loan from NCFE. Again, I never proved or disproved any of that.
Both simply message board stories that went around briefly. Ortho was a speck on a bump on a pimple on Lance Poulson's (NCFE CEO) ass. As such it never warranted much attention from the MED-heads as we had much bigger icebergs threatening the ship of MED.
But, again, it doesn't mean that much to me as Ortho is simply a distributor this time around.
Best of Luck,
I have to agree HRC. You can't believe that Frank is not involved in Orthorehab and in turn VAPH. Too coincidental, too smelly. Just more evidence it seems.
Hate to bring this up as well, but lots of Italians popping up here, no?? (by the way, no offense to Italians in general, but you get my meaning. I can say it cuz I am half Italian)
WRONG, it appears the poster is saying this co and its partners and its underwriters are a barrel of bad apples. Simply pointing out many suspicious connections by shady people.......The question is why he would dump such cash (500 k I think he said ) into such a pennystock biotech to begin with. I don't see many investors with that kind of means putting it into fluff like MED. Thats whats bizaare.
HRC, very sorry to hear about your experience.
No matter what your research has dug up here, you can't help but be concerned about that connection can you?? Scary stuff.
Thanks, some day maybe I'll tell you the whole story over a beer. It was an ugly train wreck but I couldn't turn away. Character flaw.
There was a lot of carnage on MED. We also had our share of gallows humor and I ended up meeting some other investors that have since become friends.
It was scary and you should do all you can to make sure it doesn't happen again. A good start might be to email VAPH (email@example.com) and ask them what they think about all this. Ask them point blank if there is any connection. Lemme know what they say.
I'm satisfied that there is no connection worth my concern. But that's just me.
Best of Luck,

If you're new to the accommodation business, you may have come across the term 'Crib 5' or 'Source 5' and asked yourself "do I need a crib 5 bed in my guest house?" The most succinct answer to this question is "YES!"
The bottom line of the matter is that if you own or run any kind of hotel or guest accommodation business for the public, by law you'll need to provide a contract headboard, bed and mattress. The term 'contract furniture' refers to furniture - including beds and mattresses and headboards - that conform to the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations 1988. Previously, this was under British Standard (BS) 7177 1996, which has since been succeeded by BS 7177 2008.
This British Standard is broken into individual tests; BS EN597/1 (Cigarette) and BS EN597/2 (Match), with contract furniture having to comply with and pass BS 6807 (Flame Retardant). BS 6807 is also known as the 'Crib 5' or 'Source 5' test.
The supplementary standard does not guarantee that the contract furniture is entirely fireproof, but dramatically reduces the risk of ignition. Compliance with Crib 5 ignition tests is indicated by the furniture manufacturer via a blue information label and serves as a guarantee.

About the Ticket Supplier: Angels Baseball
The Angels were founded by former actor Gene Autry in 1961 and played their first five seasons in Los Angeles. After the 1965 season the club moved to Anaheim and began playing in their new stadium.
In 1972 the Angels acquired right-handed pitcher Nolan Ryan from the New York Mets. In his eight seasons with the team, Ryan led the league in strikeouts seven times and in shutouts twice; he also threw four of his all-time-record seven no-hitters.
California won its first division title in 1979 under manager Jim Fregosi, a former Angels shortstop. Don Baylor, who led the league in runs batted in (RBIs) and runs scored that year, became the first designated hitter to be named the AL most valuable player (MVP).
Superstar outfielder and designated hitter Reggie Jackson joined the Angels in 1982 and led the league in home runs to power California to its second division championship.
Manager Gene Mauch guided the team to a 93-69 win-loss record before the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Angels in the AL Championship Series.
Mauch retired in 1983 but returned as manager two years later. In 1986 he directed the Angels to their third division crown with a team that featured veterans Jackson, third baseman Doug DeCinces, pitcher Don Sutton, and rookie first baseman Wally Joyner. The Angels again lost the AL Championship Series, this time to the Boston Red Sox.
The Angels came close to a division title in 1995, ending the season in a first-place tie with the Seattle Mariners, but they lost in a one-game playoff.
Their four decade long quest was finally realized when the Angels won the World Series in 2002, with a team led by former Dodgers catcher Mike Scioscia.

North Carolina, USA
Garland T. Beacham Jr. KITTY HAWK
Garland Thomas "Tommie" Beacham Jr., 53, of the 3800 block of Moore Shore Road, died July 19, 2005, at Albemarle Hospital. Tommie was born Oct. 21, 1951, to the late Garland and Jean Perry Beacham. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Donnie Beacham; his grandparents, Walter and Ruby Perry; a daughter, Fritzie Beacham; and a son, Conley Thomas Beacham. He is survived by one brother, Ronnie Beacham and wife Cherie of Kill Devil Hills, N.C.; a son, Ashley Beacham and wife Ashley of Elizabeth City, N.C.; three daughters, Amber Romm of Coinjock, N.C., and Sarah and Jessie Beacham, both of Kitty Hawk; and a grandson, Miles Beacham of Elizabeth City. Tommie was not just a local on the beach, he was a ninth generation native of Kitty Hawk. Tommie loved the Outer Banks and the history behind it because it was his heritage. He was a retired captain who loved the water and the wildlife that surrounded the Outer Banks. His educational boat tours helped people see the beauty of his home land through his eyes. A place where hunting camps and nets being pulled by neighbors and friends was home. A place now that few could give a first place account of, but Tommie could. He was that young man at the hunting camp. Tommie was a member of Kitty Hawk United Methodist Church. He loved his Lord, his family, friends and most dearly his children. Tommie was our Dad, that made him most special. We will miss him always and forever, but we know he is in the arms of those loved ones that went before him. He is well and for that we are grateful. We love you Dad, Ashley, Amber, Sarah and Jessie. A graveside service will be conducted Friday at 2 p.m. at Austin Cemetery, Kitty Hawk, by the Rev. Brad Bradshaw. The family will receive friends today from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Twiford's Colony Chapel, Manteo, and at other times at the residence of Amber Romm, 4302 Caratoke Highway, Coinjock.

The Paleo Diet "Optimum Health" FREE Giveaway Starts Today
Are you interested in achieving Optimum Health for you and your loved ones and doing that safely? If that's you, then read on because January is going to be Paleo Month here at Elegantly, Gluten Free and you don't want to miss a single recipe, report or article about Paleo and how it can help you accomplish your dietary objects safely, effectively and as quickly as possible.
What Is The Paleo Diet And Is It Gluten-Free?
Have you ever wondered how you can maintain your overall health in spite of the disease that is causing you to be gluten intolerant? This is a serious problem and I sometimes worry about it myself. I think that I've found something that can help.
Over the last year or so, I've noticed that there is increasing interest in the Paleo Diet around the world. It seems to me that it is a valid dietary choice which many people are embracing because of the benefits they attribute to the diet.
Its popularity began in the 1970s and has grown as more and more people have discovered the benefits of this highly nutritional diet.
I've wondered about it often and have now overcome my personal inertia and did something about my curiosity. I liked what I found. And, because of that, I've become very interested in it myself since it is, by definition, gluten-free! It contains no grains… Period!
Plus we will be adding a sub-menu as well as a category for Paleo information on the Elegantly, Gluten-Free website.
Sauteed Chicken Breasts for an Easy Gluten-Free Recipe
Here's a moist and flavorful, easy chicken dinner that you can have on the table quickly and also serve a healthy meal to your family.
This basic gluten-free chicken recipe always satisfies my family, both the gluten-y eaters and those on a gluten-free diet. It goes with many of our favorite side dishes and is so easy to make on short notice. So, even if I start with frozen chicken breasts, preparation and cooking time is only a few minutes longer.
Add Kale, Onion and Peppers to Your Quick Healthy Meals List
I always like to have a few quick healthy meals handy like this gluten-free recipe made from kale, onion and peppers.
My husband actually likes this combination with kale, even though he never gets excited when he hears it's on the menu. (Don't tell him that I know he likes it J)
Having several 30 minute meals ready to go when necessary can be a lifesaver.
For more protein to go with these veggies, you can cook an egg or two in the center of the pan during the last few minutes of cooking time. These eggs are not technically poached since they aren't in water deep enough to cover them, but they will cook nicely if you…
Tomato Salad with Oil-Free Vinaigrette
Fresh, vine-ripened tomatoes add so much nutrition to a gluten-free diet — however, their flavor is the main reason I eat them, and I enjoy fresh tomato recipes like this salad. One way to serve them, alone or with other vegetables, is with one of my favorites, this gluten-free salad dressing.
Kale Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette
Somewhere during the day I need to have a crisp salad. Whether it's at lunch or a between meal snack or at dinner, a salad is a major part of my gluten-free diet. The bold flavor of raw kale goes well with the sweet and tangy flavors of carrot, tomato, onion and more, for a pick-me-up to even the most ordinary day.

Rookie goalie is Caps' secret weapon
A day after Simeon Varlamov robbed Sidney Crosby of a goal and maybe a game, his Washington Capitals teammates were still marveling at the glory that was the save. And Varlamov's last-ditch stick – a goal-line reach-back that kept Game 1 of the Capitals' second-round playoff series tied at 2-2 en route to Washington's 3-2 win – was still the talk of a hockey-smitten town.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
"It wasn't just on the sports channels – it was on the regular news channel," said Chris Clark, the Capitals captain. "(But) what you see is what he is. It's not just a one-game thing, riding high. For two weeks he's been playing really well."
If, indeed, it's not just a one-game thing or a two-week thing, then maybe the Capitals look like a different kind of contender. The 21-year-old Russian comes into tonight's Game 2 leading the NHL post-season in goals against average with a tidy 1.29, this after registering two shutouts in six first-round starts in relief of the benched regular-season No. 1 Jose Theodore. And if it was difficult to take the Capitals seriously with the mercurial Theodore as their No. 1, perhaps the emergence of the kid they call Varly changes the picture.
Certainly it's too early in the playoff grind to anoint a Conn Smythe hopeful. And certainly Varlamov has had his dismal moments, especially the concession of a particularly soft second goal on Saturday. He speaks so little English that yesterday Capitals goalie coach Dave Prior had to send for a translator, Capitals veteran centreman Victor Kozlov, to drill home some practice-day messages (although Mike Green, the Capitals standout defenceman, doesn't see the language barrier as a problem: "He understands (English) – we have our three words that we know," Green said).
And who knows what kind of subliminal psychological damage is being inflicted on the Capitals by the sight of Varlamov's pads and gloves, which are still decorated in the wine-and-black colour scheme of the Hershey Bears, the Capitals' AHL affiliate for whom the goalie played 27 games this season (this against just six regular-season games for the Capitals). There are those who are reserving judgment on the minor leaguer's big-league worthiness.
"You have to put pressure on a goalie to see if he's cool or not," said Crosby yesterday. "Early on we had some really good chances (and) we didn't execute. Whether that was him or us, who knows? I think we felt we could have made it more difficult on him."
Perhaps, but Varlamov seems possessed of an earnest confidence in his skills that appears to be shared by teammates who marvel at his acrobatic ease and rebound control. Though he was a relative unknown until this Stanley Cup tournament commenced, the Capitals have long been convinced of his superior athleticism and considerable competitive will. George McPhee, the Capitals GM who drafted Varlamov 23rd overall in 2006, has been telling the story of Varlamov's day at the NHL combine. The Russian underwent a gruelling oxygen capacity test, an ordeal that will, in the words of Clark, "usually waste you for the day." When there was a complication with a test that often leaves prospects retching, Varlamov, after a brief rest, simply did it again.
He played deep into the Russian-league playoffs a year ago. And when he made a preseason start for the Capitals in Carolina in October, Washington was outshot 20-8 in the first period, but Varlamov stopped all 20 shots and the Capitals led 2-0 after 20 minutes. Still, a groin injury kept him from showing any more that night, and he didn't make his regular-season NHL debut until December in Montreal, stopping 34 shots in a 2-1 win before shedding a few happy tears when his teammates mobbed him at game's end.
It would be against considerable odds for Varlamov to end this season in a similarly teary mob. But today in the U.S. capital, a day after a Crosby robbery, maybe all things seem possible.
