text: Caught in the Gap November 26, 2012 08:47 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Jeanne Bernick Top Producer Editor Email While the staff at Top Producer strives to always provide up-to-date business information, sometimes events happen during the gap between when the magazine is sent to the printer and it reaches your mailbox. That happened this fall. Our November cover story, "Full-Circle Farming," portrayed Top Producer of the Year finalist Mike Stamp as a savvy Decatur, Mich., businessman who has been changing the local skyline. Soon after the magazine hit farm country, your calls and e-mails alerted us that big changes were occurring at Stamp's operations—particularly that recent audits had revealed irregularities. Our team quickly reached out to Stamp for an update. The operation's attorney, Michael S. McElwee, responded at Stamp's request. McElwee informed us that Northstar Grain and Stamp Farms are both under new management. The attorney says Stamp is in full cooperation with the new leadership, lenders, the Michigan Farm Produce Insurance Authority and others involved in the situation. Harvest and operations at both entities continued at press time. We were clearly caught off guard by Stamp's abrupt change in circumstances, but we will stay on point as the dust settles. Our team will continue to report the facts of the situation—with an eye on what we can all learn from the experience. In the meantime, if you'd like to know how Top Producer of the Year finalists are chosen, visit www.TopProducer-Online/TPOY. Lastly, thanks to all of you who reached out. Peace in Planning. When I first met Chet Esther on his Illinois farm three years ago, he offered a warm handshake and wide smile, but there was a subtle anxiousness about him. The Esthers had a right to be nervous—they were opening up their life and financials to the world as the first Top Producer succession planning case study family in the Farm Journal Legacy Project. Today, Esther smiles with peace of mind knowing the farm is transitioning to his sons, Ryan and Chad. I've learned a lot with the Esthers, listening to their farm history and watching their family evolve with the succession planning process. For starters, I learned that even the most successful farmers don't know where to start when it comes to farm transition. The Esthers were humble enough to acknowledge what they didn't know, and asked many questions through which other farmers benefited from the answers. Most importantly, succession planning is a process. It's not simply setting up an estate plan, signing documents and sealing the will. Succession planning is evolving and organic. It changes with each farming year, land sale, birth and death. You can read more about what the Esthers learned on page 46 of this issue. Back to news

Opportunistic Blue Jays get best of Yanks
TORONTO -- It took almost five full months, but the Blue Jays can finally say they found a way to take a series from the Yankees.

Toronto entered this three-game set at Rogers Centre having lost all four of its previous series against New York this season. The club's fortunes changed with this week's triumph, which can be taken as a small moral victory, as just 28 games remain on the schedule.View Full Game Coverage
Right-hander Todd Redmond led Wednesday's 7-2 victory over the Yankees with 5 2/3 strong innings, while the Blue Jays' bats broke out of a prolonged slump with one of its strongest games in August.
"Two out of three, baby," Toronto manager John Gibbons loudly stated after the game. "Matter of fact, two out of three from the Red Sox and two out of three from the Yankees our last two home series."
Gibbons then, tongue in cheek, whisked away Toronto's three intervening series losses, but the Blue Jays' record this season against New York has been no laughing matter. Toronto was swept in a pair of four-game series at Yankee Stadium and entered this week's series having lost 10 consecutive games to the Bronx Bombers -- the club's worst mark since a 13-game losing streak from 1995-96.
Toronto's 3-13 record against the Yankees this season is still far from acceptable, but the club did stand up to New York for at least one series. After splitting the opening two games, the Blue Jays responded in the rubber match with a strong night at the plate, rare fundamentally sound defense and a solid outing by Redmond.
The seven runs were the most the Blue Jays had scored since they plated seven on Aug. 7 in Seattle. Edwin Encarnacion led the way with his 34th homer of the season and two RBIs, while rookie Ryan Goins enjoyed his third consecutive multihit game and Brett Lawrie added a key two-run double.
"It gives you a lot of confidence," Redmond said of the run support. "We come out, score four runs right in the first inning -- offense did amazing. We hit the ball well; you have to give them all the praise in the world. Coming out with an early lead, it enables you to go out there and throw strikes, get ahead of hitters."
Redmond was coming off his worst start of the season, having allowed eight runs to the Astros on Friday, but he was far more effective against the Yankees. He also received plenty of help on the defensive side of things with Encarnacion, Lawrie and center fielder Anthony Gose all making diving grabs, while a key relay throw in the fourth changed the outlook of the game.
The Yankees were rallying, having put runners on the corners with one out in the fourth. One run had already come around to score, and there appeared to be plenty more on the way when Mark Reynolds hit a deep fly ball to right-center field.
Moises Sierra attempted to make a leaping catch at the wall but instead saw the ball bounce away from him as one run crossed the plate. A second seemed imminent, but Gose was perfectly positioned to back up, then made a strong relay throw to Goins, who turned and fired a strike to catcher J.P. Arencibia.
Alex Rodriguez was thrown out by a foot, keeping Toronto's lead at five runs and putting Redmond one out from escaping the jam. Ichiro Suzuki followed with a grounder to second, and the Blue Jays were able to relax.
"Goins got out a nice depth, and he was alert," Gibbons said. "Not knowing whether they were going to send him or not, he comes out and anticipates that, and he's got the arm to do it."
It was a welcome sign from a pair of young players in a season that has been plagued by lackluster defense. The play also came on the same day both players were out doing early work on the field, practicing that exact situation.
Goins, in particular, has been thriving in his opportunity at the big league level. Since making his debut last Friday, Goins has hit safely in six consecutive games while posting .455 average. He's also showcased plenty of skills in the field, and despite playing almost his entire Minor League career at shortstop, he has transitioned to second with relative ease.
"It's all good -- I take all the positives, take it all in and just run with it," Goins said. "I work hard on my defense. That's what's going to keep me around, if I do stay around, so I just try to contribute any way I can."
Redmond was charged with both of the Yankees' runs and finished with three hits allowed and seven strikeouts. His effort helped the Blue Jays win for just the third time in their past 11 games, and the club will now enjoy Thursday's off-day before opening a three-game set against the Royals on Friday night at Rogers Centre.

Stop tearing down New London
What does it take to get New London turned around? Our schools are failing so the state brought in a "Special Master" to tackle the problem. The property taxes are appallingly high so our City Council has been seriously addressing the waste and excesses of our local government with the prospect of another referendum.
However, one important issue remains to be seriously remedied, the continued destruction of our city's historical structures. Our heritage is rapidly vanishing. Once again, we are faced with the almost certain death of another one of our historic houses. The 90-day waiting period imposed by the Historic Commission expired Friday, and unless the owner changes his mind there is virtually nothing the city can do but watch the wrecking ball swing.
Ocean Pizza, a great place to eat, owned by a gentleman of a person, Sam Vifidia, has purchased the property next door in order to expand parking and provide better access to its rear parking lot. On this property rests an 1829 Greek Revival House built by one of New London's prominent merchants, Isaac Thompson, the founder of New London Savings bank and a man of many other accomplishments.
The building itself is only 20-feet by 21-feet, but radiates charm. It is the oldest house on Ocean Avenue. But the owner of Ocean Pizza wants it torn down or moved.
This building could stay right where it is and actually benefit Ocean Pizza. New London needs to start thinking about how to save rather than tear down. Claire Dale, Barbara Timken and the Savings Bank of New London are among several individuals and organizations who have shown the foresight in preserving period structures in New London. But other than these few examples, the destruction of our heritage continues almost unabated.
This trend must be stopped if there is to be anything left in New London for people to see. Look at the towns who are proactive in saving their historic structures: Mystic, Stonington, Old Lyme and Essex to name a few surrounding towns. Newport, R.I. and Portsmouth, N.H. are other stellar examples of historic preservation. All these towns and cities are booming as a result.
It ultimately begins with the individual citizen and how that person views New London balanced against his or her personal needs. Saving this tiny Greek Revival and also enabling Ocean Pizza to get more parking and an access road is quite doable. Ocean Pizza would benefit. It paid off for my business when I moved my first $1 house 33 years ago. Despite the tremendous destruction which has already taken place in New London, there is still time to reverse this decline.
Please, drive up and see Strawberry Bank in Portsmouth and ask how that miracle came to be. Stop by Ocean Pizza for lunch or dinner and ask Sam to save this Greek Revival. Do it for New London.

2007 Toyota RAV4 ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Bigger, faster, safer.
Watching the recent evolution of the Toyota RAV4, one might conclude that, like children, little sport-utility vehicles eventually grow up. One day they are tiny, cute and cuddly, with feisty but economical four-cylinder engines. The next they've grown longer, wider, and taller, with family-size, three-row seating capacity and available V6 power. Cute just isn't enough anymore, and the RAV4 is a lot more than cute.
After a complete redesign for 2006, the 2007 RAV4 gets significant safety improvements. Driver and front-passenger seat-mounted, side-impact airbags are now standard equipment, as are roll-sensing side-curtain airbags for first and second-row seats. Both systems were extra-cost options last year. Electronic entertainment options have also been updated.
The recent redesign addressed the buying public's demand for power and space among compact SUVs. The RAV4's length increased by 14 inches, creating more headroom and legroom for second-row passengers, and increased shoulder room all around. Cargo capacity grew by five cubic feet. The base RAV4 still seats five and offers a more frugal four-cylinder power, but a third-row seat (that folds flat into the cargo floor) and a powerful V6 are available.
With these additions, the RAV4 has caught up with its competition. Its 3.5-liter V6 generates 269 horsepower, almost too much for the package, although it adds substantially to the RAV4's capabilities. A V6 RAV4 can haul as many as seven people and tow up to 3500 pounds, and it really scoots. Even the four-banger is more powerful than ever, and buyers still have the choice of front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.
On the outside, this latest RAV4 is fresh, less flashy, with fewer styling gimmicks than previous models. The same can't be said for the interior, where some of the change appears to have been for the sake of change alone.
The 2007 Toyota RAV4 is a four-door, compact sport utility vehicle (SUV), available in three trim levels: base ($20,850), Sport ($22,425) and Limited ($23,150). For those prices you get front-wheel drive, a 2.4-liter, 166-horsepower inline-4 and a four-speed automatic transmission. Each model adds more features.
All three trim levels are available with a 3.5-liter, 269-horsepower V6 and five-speed automatic transmission, increasing the price as follows: base ($22,885), Sport ($24,340) and Limited ($25,020). All V6 RAV4's come with Downhill Assist Control (DAC) and Hill-start Assist Control (HAC).
Any of the six models is available with full-time all-wheel drive ($1,400).
Standard features for all RAV4s include air conditioning, cruise control, AM/FM/CD stereo with six speakers, power windows, keyless-remote locking, manually adjustable passenger seats, tilt-and-telescope steering wheel and auto-off headlamps. The base four-cylinder RAV4 has P215/70R16 tires on steel wheels with hubcaps. The V6 is upgraded with P225/65R17 tires on styled steel wheels. All models come with a full-sized spare.
Options at the base level include a third-row seat ($950); an in-dash, six-CD changer ($200); a selection of 17-inch wheels, both styled steel ($120) and aluminum ($440-560); cargo cover ($140); roof rack side rails ($220); daytime running lights ($40); and a towing package for the V6 ($160) that includes a heavy-duty radiator and fan, transmission oil cooler and 150-amp alternator. The tow package increases the RAV4's pulling capacity from 2000 to 3500 pounds.
The RAV4 Sport adds a roof rack with cross bars; rear privacy glass; fog lamps; sport-tuned suspension; P235/55R18 tires on alloy wheels; and combination hard/soft spare tire cover. Options expand to include a JBL premium stereo with nine speakers, a subwoofer and steering-wheel controls, ($890); and power tilt-and-slide moonroof ($900). The third-row seat is not offered on the Sport.
The Limited model upgrades with dual-zone automatic climate control; the six-CD changer with auxiliary input jack; power-adjustable driver seat; heated outside mirrors; leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob; rear privacy glass; cargo cover and other amenities. Outside, Limited is distinguished by a chrome grille; fog lamps; P225/65R17 tires on alloy wheels; and a full, hard-shell spare tire cover. Options include the third-row seat ($700-810, depending on engine and drive combination), heated leather seats ($1,490) and the JBL stereo ($640). A rear-seat entertainment system ($1,705) is available only on Limited V6.
Safety features on all RAV4s include dual-stage frontal airbags, side-impact airbags and side curtain airbags, LATCH child safety seat anchors, antilock brakes (ABS) with brake assist (BA) and electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), electronic stability control (VSC) and traction control (TRAC).
We're glad to see that Toyota has made curtain airbags standard for 2007, because they are designed to provide head protection in a side impact or rollover. Head injuries are the leading cause of fatalities in those types of accidents. Side-impact airbags are designed to improve torso protection.
No longer a cute ute, neither is the RAV4 anywhere near a brute ute. Still, the overall design of the 2007 model is more serious and more substantive than those built a few years ago. There are fewer superfluous curves and less cladding, presenting a more finished appearance.
This latest RAV4's front end contains all the same elements found on older models, but more tautly composed. The rectangular grille is rounder, the slits below more symmetrical. Headlights are more compact, fog lamps smaller and more focused. A wide track gives the RAV4 a more solid stance, which is good news for resisting rollover in emergency maneuvers.
A boxier shape defines the side view, the better to accommodate that third-row seat. From the front quarter oblique, the fatter, more upright C-pillar and taillight housing remind us of the Subaru Tribeca, a larger, seven-passenger SUV priced a notch or two above the RAV4. An understated indent runs along the bottom of the doors, softening the visual impression of bulk. Wheel arches blend smoothly into the fenders.
In back, a single-piece rear bumper cradles the swing-open gate, which, sadly, still opens from the left side, so you have to walk around it when unloading curbside here in America. Taillights are positioned fairly high on the rear fenders. The spare tire bolts into a recess offset to the right in the swing-gate, and doesn't dip below the bumper line. The rear license plate visually balances the spare by bolting into the lower left of the swing-gate, beneath a Toyota logo and RAV4 badge.
Inside, the 2007 RAV4 is as good as ever, but not necessarily better. Ergonomically, there's little to distinguish it from earlier models. The most noteworthy changes made for 2006 (and carried over this year) are some, shall we say, interesting styling cues.
The front seats are supportive but not overly firm, with modest bolsters and decent thigh support. The tilt-and-telescope steering wheel and height-adjustable driver's seat enables almost any size driver to find a comfortable fit, and without the added complexity (and cost) of adjustable pedals. The relatively high seating position, low cowl and sloping hood make for good visibility to the front. The lengthy side windows ease lane checking. Fully retracting head restraints in the second row and optional third row of seats improve the viewing range through the inside mirror.
The second-row seats are less padded than the front seats, without bolsters. It's no surprise, really, seeing as how the seat has to fit three people in a pinch.
The optional third row seats barely qualify as such, with flat bottoms and equally featureless backs and head restraints. Access to that back row, by folding and tilting the outboard second-row seats, is not especially easy, but it isn't as much of a strain or as awkward as in some larger, full-sized sport utilities.
The RAV4's 104.7-inch wheelbase delivers more than space for a third row of seats. It also allows almost six inches to be added to second-row legroom, compared to models built before 2006. Headroom in the second row also grew by more than an inch, although front-row occupants lost half an inch.
The Honda CR-V, the RAV4's major competitor, has been redesigned for 2007, but the Toyota still either exceeds it significantly, or trails it by a fraction, in headroom and legroom, both front and rear. The Honda offers more than 2 inches more hip room, both front and rear, than the RAV4. But the CR-V does not offer a third-row seat. Maximum cargo volume (with all seats stowed) is nearly identical: 73.0 cubic feet for the Toyota, 72.9 for the Honda.
The only competitor that comes with a standard third-row seat, the Suzuki XL7, is also all-new for 2007. It provides more headroom than the RAV4, particularly in the third row (by a significant 1.6 inches). In legroom, the XL7 gives up half an inch to the RAV4 up front, but gets that half inch back in the second row, and betters the Toyota by almost a full inch in the third row. But in hip room, it's the XL7 that loses by 1.6 inches up front, gains a scant 0.7 inch in the middle, and then loses to the Toyota by a whopping 5.1 inches in the third row.
Placement of the gauges will be familiar to anyone who's owned a RAV4. The placement and function of the controls populating the center stack is virtually the same as it has always been, which means very good, as is the arrangement of the hand brake and the shift lever. It's all styled differently, however. The dash is sharply split by a horizontal gash running the width of the car. About the only plus we divined in this garish feature is a bi-level glove box, with an upper bin covered by a retracting lid and a lower bin fitted with a traditional, bottom-hinged cover.
Materials are high quality, if not Lexus level. Fit and finish is Toyota grade, which means excellent. All three models share the same motif, with contrasting but complementary colors and brushed metallic trim elements along each side of the stereo and climate control panels, surrounding the shift gate and swooping around the door handles. The standard side-curtain airbags still allow a passenger assist grip, which folds down from the headliner over each door.
Storage areas are plentiful. Beyond the glove box, the doors have fixed plastic map pockets, the backs of the front seatbacks wear net pouches, a total of 10 cup/bottle holders are situated about the cabin and when the third-row seats aren't ordered, a deep cargo.
Driving Impression
For anyone who has driven an older (pre-2006) RAV4, the most noticeable changes for the current model are increased stability from its wider track and a smoother ride from its extended wheelbase. In the Sport model, the suspension is tuned toward stability over smoothness. Steering response is confident, although understeer (where the car wants to go straight while the driver wants it to turn) is the dominant response during aggressive turns. There's moderate body lean in corners, but dive under braking and squat when accelerating are well controlled.
The brake pedal feels firm, and depending on the engine, response to the gas pedal is prompt or borderline overwhelming, even though this RAV4 weighs 500 pounds more than the previous generation. The four-cylinder delivers plenty of grunt, in both front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, with brisk, linear acceleration. Torque steer, that front-wheel-drive syndrome that tugs on the steering wheel, is minimal. The accompanying mechanical and exhaust sounds, although not intrusive, clearly identify the engine as a Toyota four-cylinder.
The V6, with its head-of-the-class 269 horsepower and 246 pound-feet of torque, is a different story. Acceleration is impressive. With this comes torque steer, particularly with front-wheel drive: Hang onto the steering wheel, because when you floor the gas pedal the engine feels like it wants to pull the wheel from your hands. You'll get used to it, and the V6 sounds much better than the four. Mechanical noise is more effectively masked, and the exhaust note is more soothingly tuned than in the four.
In general, the RAV4 is quieter inside than many small sport-utility vehicles, though perhaps not as quiet as the Honda CR-V. Some wind whistle crept into the RAV4's cabin around the side windows.
Fresh from a complete redesign, the 2007 Toyota RAV4 adds more standard safety features. It has more power, more room and more seats than models built before 2006. The presentation is seamless, the driving pleasurable and the packaging delivered with the usual Toyota aplomb. The RAV4 and the Honda CR-V essentially created this class. With the availability of a V6 engine, three rows of seating and the virtues mentioned above, Toyota has now climbed back into the lead.

Hogue Rubber Pistol Grips Beretta 92/96 With Finger Grooves
Hogue Rubber Pistol Grips - Wraparound with finger grooves. Molded from a durable synthetic rubber that is not spongy or tacky, but gives that soft recoil absorbing feel, without affecting accuracy. The material we use does not come apart or deteriorate and is resistant to all solvents and oils used around firearms. Hogue Grips give you a lasting precision fit and durability that will provide years of dependable service. The flexibility of our materials and molding process has allowed us to produce superior rubber grips with features that out perform all other makes. To retain their shape Hogue soft rubber grips utilize a modern, light-weight synthetic insert (skeleton) that chemically bonds to the rubber. All Hogue rubber grips hold securely in cold, wet or sweating hands, and do not have any metal medallions that can irritate the hand. Molded in a handsome black color they dress up either blue or stainless handguns. Hogue's exclusive "Cobblestone" texture has become the texture of choice among firearm enthusiasts. Cobblestone provides a positive non-irritating stippling feature that replaces traditional checkering. This texture not only gives Hogue a modern and distinctive look, but is also very functional. It is specifically designed to be a balance between a sharply checkered and a smooth grip. Cobblestone provides a firm grip but by relaxing grip pressure allows the hand the mobility of a smooth grip. Our exclusive molding process chemically bonds to the insert we are able to have a smooth hard surface on the inside of the grip. This duplicates a stock grip configuration on the inside, and allows us to maintain exacting tolerances. Hogue grips absorb recoil and doesn't harden over time.
Hogue grips provide years of dependable service.

Amazon.com founder
Answer: about two nanoseconds.
The idea is for the delivery of Amazon orders by little unmanned copters, or drones. Bezos calls it "Amazon Prime Air."
The judges are still conferring, but Bezos is expected to have lowered the previous record, set by
Hyperloop enthralled techno-fans and not a few credible transportation experts before fading out of public consciousness, a few days after flaring into press.
Amazon Prime Air may face the same fate. Within a day, questions were already being raised about the technology, the regulatory environment and the economics of the scheme. As outlined by Bezos for a suitably mind-boggled Charlie Rose on "60 Minutes," Amazon would deploy a fleet of little flying vehicles called octocopters to drop off orders of less than five pounds each to customers within 10 miles of a distribution center.
Among the first hype-busters to respond was David Talbot at MIT Technology Review, who observed that although the technology exists, the cost is prohibitive for a commercial enterprise with reasonable alternatives. Among the places where drone deliveries have been tested is Haiti, where conditions on the ground make alternatives scarce. Amazon would have to charge up to $200 for a five-pound package, Talbot observed, making the deal "a niche, high-cost service for high-value items."
Self-defined tech skeptic Bob Sullivan questioned Bezos' assertion that drones are greener than trucks. Drones "sound like one-package-per-trip gadgets to me.... Back-and-forth-and-back-and-forth in those 10-mile radius areas? Is that really greener than a truck carrying 500 packages? We'll see."
Politico covered the regulatory landscape, noting that the tech skeptics at the FAA would have to be heard from. Think of how long it's taken them to approve
What's really remarkable about Bezos' venture into tech promotion is the eagerness with which "60 Minutes" and other news organizations (including The Times) took him at his own level of self-confidence. Musk enjoyed the same liberty. No one should begrudge them their game of spinning fantasies in the air. If you like to entertain yourself with visions of the high-tech future, have fun. But no one should mistake these ideas at this point for anything but fantasies.

I always regarded the WBC as Dancing With The Stars with spikes. It's a manufactured competition, but with its roots in nationalism.
However, last night's USA-Puerto Rico elimination match was compelling, far more interesting than your average Mets-Marlins spring training game. That interest was generated by the passion in the stands. The WBC means more in terms of national pride to the teams and fans in Asia and Latin America than to the United States.
Puerto Rico is now in the international sports spotlight. The American players who are always in the spotlight can now return to their major league teams and big contracts.Nationalism represented some of the motivational fuel for Nelson Figueroa, a journeyman pitcher who has toiled for six teams in parts of nine years – including the Mets – but pitched like a star last night in sending the United States home for the third straight time.
Figueroa was special, doing what he used to do at times with the Mets, which was burn innings. But, last nigh he gave Puerto Rico six shutout innings in his 80-pitch allotment. Working both sides of the plate effectively with everything but an electric fastball, he gave US hitters nothing to hit.
Putting on a show was the rest of his motivational fuel.
"We were supreme underdogs against that lineup,'' Figueroa told reporters. "It was motivation to show them what kind of pitcher I was.''
Maybe he showed what kind of pitcher he can be to somebody with the power to make a decision on his career as so many other have done.
Figueroa was signed by Arizona to a minor league contract as organizational depth in December. If Figueroa were higher on the pitching food chain, but not good enough to be a given, he might have been better off in spring training.
However, in this case, showing what he could do against major league hitters should count for more points than a couple of innings against the Dodgers minor leaguers.
Sometime this year, the Diamondbacks or somebody else, will have a sudden need for an arm and think back at how Figueroa toyed with the US lineup.
Figueroa is not flashy. He does not have a great fastball or singular dominant pitch. What he has is command of the corners and guile. When both are on he's tough to beat.
"I don't throw very hard, but I pitch inside,'' Figueroa said, giving us his personal scouting report. "It was a great exhibition of what can be done without a plus fastball. It was an opportunity to demonstrate that good pitching beats good hitting.''
That's the way it always has been and always will be. From a fundamental perspective, that's baseball's essence. From a human perspective, Figueroa is also the essence of the sport.
History has given us far more Figueroas in the game than Matt Harveys or Stephen Strasburgs. Harvey and Strasburg have power potential and will always get a shot. Things must break right for Figueroa to get his.
Figueroa has bounced around the globe in search of a job, last pitching in the major leagues with Houston in 2011. He's been with the Phillies. Toronto and the Yankees released him without his cup of coffee. He has pitched in the winter leagues, for Mexico, for just about anybody who would give him the ball and a few dollars.
Figueroa pitches because that's what he does. The sport is in his blood, rushing through his veins and consuming his soul. Until he's physically unable, or run out of teams, Figueroa will pitch. It is players like him, perhaps even more than players like Justin Verlander, as the reason we watch.
Verlander is elite. Figueroa is more like us, who once dreamed of the big leagues. However, unlike us, he persevered through rough times, rejection and defeat to get the taste we will never.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Biloxi Car Dealer to Pay $120,000 to Resolve Multiple Charges
GULFPORT, Miss. – Biloxi, Miss.-based Preston Hood Chevrolet has agreed to pay a total of $120,000 to settle two employment discrimination lawsuits, one for sexual harassment and one for race harassment, filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
In the sexual harassment case (SD MS Civil Action No. 1:08-CV-1266), the EEOC charged that during 2006 and 2007 Preston Hood subjected a class of female employees to harassment based on their sex and forced one employee to quit. In the race harassment lawsuit (MS Civil Action No. 1:08-CV-1265), the EEOC asserted that during 2007 Preston Hood subjected an African American employee to harassment based on his race. The EEOC said that the harassment in both cases was perpetrated by both management and non-management employees.
The women alleged they were subjected to sexually explicit, provocative and insulting language, pornographic material and unwelcome sexual advances. The black male employee alleged that he was subjected to racial slurs and racially derogatory language. In both cases the employees reported that they complained to management but no corrective action was taken.
Race and sexual harassment violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach pre-litigation settlements.
The consent decree settling the race harassment case requires Preston Hood to make payment to Rickey Hayes of $35,000 and to provide significant injunctive relief. In the gender discrimination case, the dealership will pay $85,000 to Lisa Battaglia, Rebeca Gonzalez and a class of former female employees.
In both cases, Preston Hood also agreed to provide significant injunctive relief, such as implementing and disseminating anti-harassment and anti-discrimination policies and procedures; providing training to managers and employees; posting a notice in the workplace explaining Title VII employee rights and employer obligations under the statute; promptly and thoroughly investigating and addressing complaints of race or sex based harassment; and taking steps to ensure that there will be no retaliation against employees who complain about conduct believed to be discriminatory.
"Every employee deserves the freedom to work in an environment free from any form of harassment," EEOC Birmingham District Director Delner Franklin-Thomas said. "We are pleased that Preston Hood is now taking affirmative steps to improve the work environment. Employers should recognize that upon first receipt of a complaint of harassment, they must take prompt action to ensure that the misconduct stops."
EEOC Birmingham Regional Attorney C. Emanuel Smith added, "Workplace harassment is one of the most egregious and demeaning forms of discrimination. Employers who allow their employees to be victimized by this type of behavior need to know that serious repercussions may follow their inaction."
According to its website, Preston Hood Chevrolet serves the Biloxi, Miss., and Mobile, Ala., areas and specializes in the sale of new and used Chevrolet vehicles.
In 2009, the EEOC received 12,696 charges of sexual harassment and 33,579 charges alleging race-based discrimination, the latter accounting for 36 percent of the agency's private-sector caseload. Historically, race-based charges have been the most frequent type of filing with EEOC offices nationwide.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.
