Astros defend Everett: Bagwell: Love to have ex-mate backby Jeff Horrigan
This just furthers cements in my mind the Williams has to be let go. I obviously don't know Everett but his former Astro teammates do. Notice the different managing styles and their results.

I remember Bill James writing something about the Boston clubhouse back in the 80's. I'm paraphrasing, but he mentioned how the team had to be a lot of turnover cause the clubhouse was always in strife...I wonder if that is the case because the city is so divided along racial lines. I don't read too many Boston newspapers, but has anyone questioned Williams moves? Has anyone in the media recognized how "problems" occur along racial lines?2. Bruce Markusen Posted: March 31, 2001 at 11:24 PM (#66471)
It does strike me as strange that one of the most liberal cities in the US has this kind of history. They are well stocked with educational institution and seem to be open to change yet their ball club remains one of the most racist in ML history.
I'm sorry, but there's some revisionist history going on here, at least as far as the Mets were concerned. Gregg Jefferies and Kevin McReynolds took their share of hits from both Met fans and media--as did white managers Davey Johnson and Jeff Torborg. Jefferies was exteremly unpopular with several of the Met veterans (most notably Randy Myers, who despised Jefferies)--a fact that was often reported by the New York media. McReynolds also drew some criticism from reporters for being lazy and unemotional in his approach to the game. David Cone was knocked for his immature behavior, including his decision to lead a a short-lived boycott against the New York media. Bret Saberhagen took criticism for that nasty bleachthrowing incident that involved a reporter. Except for Jefferies (who I think was treated unfairly in New York), each of these white players received legitimate and fair criticism.3. The Original Gary Posted: April 01, 2001 at 12:21 AM (#66472)
As with most managers in New York, Johnson and Torborg were scured by the media when things went bad in New York, especially in the early nineties. Bobby Valentine, according to some New York writers, should have been fired during the team's late-season collapse in 1999. All of these managers are white, but that didn't prevent them from taking their fair share (or more) of the heat.
As for Carl Everett, he has had trouble in every organization that he's played for: the Yankees, the Mets, the Astros, and the Red Sox. Is it always the fault of the team--and not the player? I could understand if a player had problems in just one or two organizations, but when he's has trouble on EVERY major league stop along the way, he loses the benefit of the doubt, at least in my mind.
Finally, with regard to Rickey Henderson, a point needs to be made. He just flat-out stopped trying during the 1989 season. He's been a great player, a no-question-about-it Hall of Famer, but his constant failure to hustle or run hard in left field and on the basepaths in '89 gave the Yankees no choice but to trade him away.
I don't feel that Williams' treatment of Everett is racially motivated. If you are reacist, you are racist against everyone of that particular persuasion, not specific individuals. Everett's antics last season have permanently destroyed his relationship with Jimy. Jimy was well within his rights for the Alcantara incident. I saw the game that precipitated that event. The only thing Izzy was missing in the outfield(other than flyballs) was a lounge chair. He should have been shipped back to the minors but Duquette wouldn't allow it.4. John Posted: April 01, 2001 at 01:28 AM (#66473)
Trot Nixon is a "gritty" ballplayer. Not because he is white. Because he literally would run through a wall to catch a flyball. So would Darren Lewis. You accuse the Boston media of being racist for running Everett out of town yet this same media prefers Darren Lewis in center field. This media had a daily column called "The World According to Roger" when Clemens was still here. Clemens is white. I am not naive. I am aware there is racism out there. However, certain people are punks. Am I a racist because I think Julian Tavarez is an idiot and not Russ Davis? I could care less what race Tavarez is. He throws his glove down like a big tough guy and Davis calls his bluff and he answers with a spiked shoe dropkick.
Not every issue with minority players is about race. Actually to think that is being racist against whites. I am glad Jimy is a white manager so I am not accused of being racist in this situation.
It is racist if every issue is with those from a culture other than your own. Jimy Williams has a terrible record with players from other cultures.5. The Original Gary Posted: April 01, 2001 at 12:34 PM (#66475)
Pointing out Everett's problems doesn't absolve William's own issues. There doesn't have to be correlation between the two. This is another version of the "if then" argument.
I don't disagree that there is racist in America today. However, I think it is too easy to play the race card when a minority is being held accountable. Anthony noted several examples of the Boston media being racist. I can't see favoring Darren Lewis, a minority and well respected man, over Carl Everett, a superior ballplayer to Lewis, falls under the category of racism. I don't go for the suppressing the minority athlete theory. In sports today, the white race IS the minority. Two of the most revered athletes today are Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods. Arod makes more money than God. On the flip side, there are clowns like Rae Carruth and Ray Lewis who are out and out hoods. It doesn't matter what race they are.6. John Posted: April 01, 2001 at 04:13 PM (#66476)
Sorry, but Williams "terrible" track record includes 3 or 4 run ins with noted hotheads. He is wrong in this years incident because he holds a grudge. Williams also had problems with Jeff Fassero, white guy. How come the other minority players don't feel WIlliams is racist? Williams has to work with a large percentage of minorities, he can't afford to be racist.
How many "minorities" are in upper level management...even coaches or managers? Isn't there some disparity?7. The Original Gary Posted: April 02, 2001 at 12:58 AM (#66477)
i should have limited that statement to players. You are correct. The perecentage of minorities in management is woefully low.8. Robert Dudek Posted: April 02, 2001 at 11:47 AM (#66478)
Talking about these "race" issues only serves to slow the natural death of racism which is its destiny.
The problem is not about race (in the biological sense of the term) - it's about cultural identity.
Lumping Latins into the same "race" (in the biological sense) is absurd. Are Edgar Martinez and Tony Fernandez from the same race ? Jose Canseco, Rafael Palmeiro, Sammy Sosa ? What Latin Americans have most in common is their language and to a certain extent a shared history and shared values.
The same is true of African-Americans. It's not a question of genetics (I read that at least one-third of the people who call themselves African-Americans have at least some non-African ancestry).
I don't think there is much doubt that the divide between Americans of African ancestry and cultural traditions and Americans of European ancestry and cultural traditions is narrower than ever before. More "inter-racial" (inter-cultural - I would call it) marriage means a blending together of diverse groups. This is inevitable when people share the same physical space and do not purposely isolate themselves from other groups - and I welcome it.
I am not saying that groups who view themselves as a minority or as oppressed have no right to seek redress. But everyone should stop using the word "race" which is soaked with the blood of many unfortunate victims over many centuries, and concentrate on the cultural issues.
I am of Polish descent, so if you were classifying me in any way other than by my physical features, you'd have to call me a minority as well. Minority and majority are determined by perception. I suppose you could define the majority as the people with wealth and influence - only then you'd have to include many of those "minority" athletes who have accumulated their fair share of it.
Yes, perception has caused and continues to cause many problems - all the more reason to try to change it.

Episode 1, Season 1
7 January 2007 - 3 out of 3 users found this review helpful.
This movie is about reality behind the genre. At times the movie captures the bits which are usually left out, but are much more important in soldiering than the fireworks. The excellent down-tempo approach just makes it perfect in realism.
I first saw this in the 80's, and it caught my attention like nothing before. I think I wore the VHS tape out before long. To my surprise, there was lots of familiarity when I entered military service a few years later.
It is a pity that the movie is apparently not available currently. I would buy a copy right now.

Sharon re-elected as Likud leader
JERUSALEM -- Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was re-elected to head the Likud party Thursday in a primary overshadowed by a deadly shooting at a polling station in Israel and two attacks on Israeli tourists in Kenya.
Foreign Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Sharon's only serious challenger, conceded defeat late Thursday and told supporters that he had phoned Sharon to congratulate him.
Sharon had 61 percent of the vote among Likud members, compared to 37 percent for Netanyahu, according to projections on Israel TV. A lesser-known challenger, Moshe Feiglin, had the rest. Two other television projections showed similar results.
Sharon will now face the Labor Party's Amram Mitzna in Jan. 28 general elections.

bookshelves: mystery-northwest
Read in June, 2009
Helma Zukas' artist friend Ruth is heartbroken, but works her way out of her despair with a new series of paintings. But when two of them are stolen, Ruth is enraged. She's done paintings about the men in her life, and the two paintings that were stolen featured her relationship with two men who died mysteriously. The police are surprised to learn that there is a link between them--but the link is Ruth. Meanwhile, police chief Wayne Gallant seems to be trying to spend some time along with Helma to ask her a very particular question.

I have gone to Ivy Nails 2 times. The first for a mani/pedi fora vacation. They did great work. The second time I got a full pedi and full set. The pedi was as great as the first time. The full set was quality but not filed into a shape I like. I went back the next day and wanted them reshaped and a polish change that they were rather snotty about. I didn't mind paying for it since the lady had asked me if it was ok and I said yes. Their unfriendly demeanor was something I had not experienced. It was a big turn off. Idk if i Wil go back or not. The service had been great up until this. I'd rate it 3.5 but it won't let me.
The guy that does the acrylics there is one of the best in town he is quick and the nails look natural and not all thick and bulky looking.. They take walkins and have always given me exactly what I asked for at a reasonable price. The lady that must manage the place because she is always at the front desk is a sweetheart and also one of the best nail techs in town, after getting a pedicure there this summer she just gave me their flipflops to leave in because I was in a hurry and she didnt want me to mess up my new beautiful toes! Im going there on a date with my boyfriend to get mani/pedis together tomorrow!

EINDHOVEN, THE NETHERLANDS -- (Marketwire) -- 02/01/13 -- NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN ITALY -- NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) (together with its subsidiaries, "NXP") announced today the pricing of the offering by its subsidiaries NXP B.V. and NXP Funding LLC of USD 500 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2021 ("Unsecured Notes") pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Unsecured Notes will be structurally subordinated to the liabilities, including trade payables, of NXP's subsidiaries that have not guaranteed the Unsecured Notes.

Seawind Group Holdings released out of Voluntary Administration
by Brent Vaughan on 10 Oct 2012
New Seawind 1160 built in Vietnam that was launched on Botany Bay Seawind Catamarans
The holding company of Seawind Catamarans and Corsair Marine, Seawind Group Holdings Pty Ltd, was released out of Voluntary Administration on October 9th 2012 by the Administrators, BRI Ferrier.
As a result, the company is pleased to be back to business and fully operational.
Thanks to the support from Seawind's long established suppliers and creditors, the Administrators brokered an agreement to allow the company to move forward without any external administration and get back to building the award winning range of cruising catamarans that the company are renowned for around the world.
This course of action was recommended by BRI Ferrier after a formal assessment of Seawind's financial position.
Seawind's Managing Director, Richard Ward, comments, 'This year has been the most challenging in the 30 years I have been in business, however I have been humbled by the support of our suppliers and would like to offer my thanks to give Seawind this opportunity to move forward and focus on the next 30 years of building great multihulls.'
The net result of the administration process will see a restructure of the manufacturing operations with the closure of the Australian production facility located in Wollongong.
This is a sad outcome for Seawind after 30 years of continuous Australian production but the Directors of the company feel that there was little other option. Regrettably, high manufacturing costs and the continuing strong Australian dollar have meant the Australian built catamarans have become uncompetitive against the many imported models.
Following the completion of the last three Seawind 1250's on order, one of which has just been launched and delivered to a delighted new owner, future production of the Seawind 1250 will likely move to the Seawind / Corsair Marine facility in Vietnam, where the Seawind 1000XL2 and Seawind 1160 are already being built alongside the range of high performance Corsair trimarans and the magnificent Corsair 50ft catamaran.
Corsair Marine, originally based in California, USA, has been established for over 25 years, with the last six years of production in Vietnam.
Since moving production to the Corsair Marine factory, several boats have already been shipped to Australia and launched including Seawind 1000XL2's and Seawind 1160's, with many more on order scheduled to soon ship to Australia, the USA and Dubai.
An imported Seawind 1160 arrived by ship and launched just this week from Botany Bay's shipping terminal in Sydney.
Seawind Catamarans will continue to offer after sales service and warranty support for future and existing Seawind owners in Australia and around the world, either directly from Seawind itself or through the Multihull Central company whose headquarters are in the purpose built multihull marina of Rozelle Bay, Sydney Harbour.
This year Seawind celebrates 30 years of manufacturing catamarans and this restructure has now positioned the company to be more competitive in a global market and expand into export markets not before accessible due to the high Australian dollar and high costs of manufacturing in Australia. The company remains 100% Australian owned.
Seawind will be attending the Mandurah boat show in Perth this weekend and the 14th annual Seawind Pittwater Regatta will be on again at the end of the month.

KANSAS CITY, MO -- (Marketwire) -- 12/04/12 -- H&R Block (NYSE: HRB) has announced new consumer benefits providing instant cash rewards from select retailers and instant access to funds via mobile check deposit. The Emerald Prepaid Mastercard®, having been named one of the top 3 consumer-friendly prepaid cards in a study by Bankrate.com*, is one of the lowest cost, client-friendly prepaid programs in the industry.
Approximately 60 million consumers choose alternative banking methods. Even with new providers, such as Chase Liquid(SM) and American Express Bluebird®, the Emerald Card is the only prepaid card with a bundle of services providing:
- Instant mobile deposit
- Instant cash rewards
- Ability to load prepaid cell phone minutes
- Access to savings account
- Access to line of credit
- Ability to write checks.
"Combining these new features with no activation, monthly account or purchase fees, our Emerald Card is a world-class checking account alternative," said Susan Ehrlich, president of H&R Block Financial Services.
Instant cash as close as the phone
The Emerald Card is the only prepaid debit card providing clients immediate access to funds deposited via an innovative remote check capture feature in the Emerald Car Mobile Banking App. H&R Block introduced this feature to enable the user to snap a picture of a check with the phone's camera and instantly deposit the funds to the account upon check approval. This check-to-card feature delivers convenience in loading funds onto the Emerald Card -- saving time and money -- while providing immediate availability to funds.
Use has its rewards
H&R Block also has announced another first in the prepaid market with H&R Block Emerald Cash Rewards(SM). H&R Block has partnered with national retailers to provide cardholders more than $100 in free instant reward offers every month.
"It's the best kind of instant rewards program there is," Ehrlich said. "There are no coupons to clip or points to track -- ever."
Cardholders simply use their Emerald Card for everyday purchases at participating merchants and get instant cash rewards from popular restaurants and major home goods, electronics and apparel retailers. When clients shop at these participating merchants and use their Emerald Card, the cash back reward instantly is loaded onto the card.
A new way for prepaid
H&R Block recently launched a new online banking site for clients, as well as fully integrated free apps for iPhone®, iPad® and Android®.
H&R Block's Emerald Online and mobile app enable cardholders to review account activity and manage their money at home or on the go. Emerald Online is powered by industry-leader Plastyc**, which recently was named as providing one of the best consumer value programs in the prepaid industry.*
By visiting www.hrblock.com/emeraldcard, cardholders will benefit from a new interface to perform the following tasks and more with greater ease:
- Access transaction history and balance
- Issue personal checks or pay bills
- Add prepaid minutes to their cell phone
- Sign up for text and email alerts.
"H&R Block is more than the nation's largest tax preparation company. We have been helping millions of consumers redefine their banking relationship," said Aaron Caid, vice president of H&R Block's prepaid division. "Our focus is on providing the prepaid consumer a great low-cost alternative for managing everyday finances conveniently and securely."
*See Bankrate.com 2011 prepaid card survey.
**Plastyc was chosen as a 2012 Paybefore Awards winner in the Best Consumer Value in prepaid category for its UPside Visa® prepaid card program.

Order two slip overs, which arrived very quickly. Fit just right and very good quality. Also the colours I ordered where what I saw on the site. Sometimes when I have ordered off the internet the colours you order are not always what you get, these are.

Five equestrian heroes receive honours at FEI Awards Gala 2013 presented by Longines; Kessler wins Longines Rising Star Award
RELEASE: November 7, 2013
AUTHOR/ADMINISTRATOR: From an FEI Press Release
Montreux, Switzerland
- HRH Princess Haya, President of the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) led the applause tonight as the five winners of the FEI Awards 2013 went on stage in Montreux, Switzerland to receive their honours.
FEI Award Winners 2013 (© FEI/Edouard Curchod)
Master of Ceremonies Jonathan Edwards, Olympic gold medallist in Triple Jump and the current world record holder, described the accomplishments of the recipients of the FEI Awards to more than three hundred guests, including representatives of the 132 Member Federations of the FEI - the world governing body of horse sport - journalists, VIPs, friends of the winners and FEI staff.
The winners of the FEI Awards 2013 are:
Longines Rising Star Award
Reed Kessler (USA)
Reem Acra Best Athlete Award
Charlotte Dujardin (GBR)
Best Groom Award
Carmen Thiemann (GER)
Development Award
National Army Riding School "Grito de Asencio" (URU)
Against All Odds
Joann Formosa (AUS)
Longines Rising Star Award
Reed Kessler (USA)
The years 2012 and 2013 will certainly remain engraved on Reed Kessler's memory. In her first year of eligibility in the senior Jumping ranks, she shared the 2012 USEF National Jumping title with the legendary Olympian Margie Engle. A few months later, shortly after her 18th birthday, Reed headed to London as the youngest equestrian athlete to compete at the Olympic Games.
Early 2013 saw Reed achieve top results over twelve weeks of competition at the FTI Consulting Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, USA, where she rode a double clear on her Olympic mount Cylana at the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup™ Jumping and contributed to Team USA's victory. She also competed at the FEI World Cup™ Jumping Final in Gothenburg, Sweden and finished in 10th position. At Spruce Meadows, Canada, she again represented the USA in the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup™ Jumping then claimed her biggest victory to date in the ATCO Power Queen Elizabeth II Cup.

Apple holiday poll ends, Verizon iPhone poll begins
With over 3,000 responses from iLounge readers, our latest poll—"Which new Apple device did you get for the holidays?"—has ended. Readers were given a choice between the iPad, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, fourth-generation iPod touch, sixth-generation iPod nano, iPod classic, fourth-generation iPod shuffle, Apple TV, accessories, or no Apple gear at all.
More than a quarter of respondents—26 percent—said they received a fourth-generation iPod touch over the holidays, a greater number than those who received no Apple gear at all (23 percent). 19 percent of readers said they received an iPad for the holidays, followed by 10 percent who received an iPhone 4, seven percent who received an Apple TV, and another seven percent who didn't receive a device but did get accessories. Finally, only three percent of readers received a sixth-generation iPod nano, followed by two percent who received an iPhone 3GS, another two percent who received an iPod classic, and only one percent who received a fourth-generation iPod shuffle. Thanks for all your responses!
Our new poll focuses on the Verizon iPhone 4. We'd like to know if you plan to buy one. Are you an existing Verizon customer who has been waiting patiently for the handset, an AT&T customer ready to jump ship, or a customer of some other carrer who plans to purchase an iPhone 4 from Verizon? Or are you an existing customer of Verizon, AT&T, or a different carrier who isn't going to purchase a Verizon iPhone? Or do you live outside the United States, where you've likely had a choice of iPhone carriers for some time? Our new poll, "Are you going to buy a Verizon iPhone 4?" lets you answer that question. You can find the iLounge Poll in the left-hand column of the main iLounge.com homepage. Cast your vote today!

The man arrested after attempting to upstage Adele at the Grammys says his stunt was spontaneous and he hopes it doesn't hurt his chances to remain in Los Angeles.
Ukraninan television journalist Vitalii Sediuk says he accepts responsibility for entering the show without a ticket, but that he hopes the incident has exposed some security lapses.
The 24-year-old was arrested after briefly taking the microphone before Adele accepted her Grammy on the show's telecast.
He was shooed away by presenter Jennifer Lopez and later released by police.
Jail records show Sediuk spent the next several hours in custody and was ordered to appear for a March 4 court date.
He told The Hollywood Reporter, which first reported his arrest, that he did not have a ticket to the show and took musician Adam Levine's seat before going on stage.
Sediuk's intrusion came after Los Angeles police increased security at the Grammys due to an ongoing manhunt for a rogue ex-officer targeting police and their families.
Publicists for the Grammy Awards did not return emails seeking comment on the incident.
Sediuk, 24, has gained notoriety for other stunts involving celebrities. Will Smith slapped the 24-year-old last year after attempting to kiss him on the red carpet of the Moscow premiere of ''Men in Black III.''
Madonna received a bouquet of hydrangeas from Sediuk at the 2011 Venice Film Festival and promptly stashed them under a table, declaring, ''I absolutely loathe hydrangeas.''
