Brazilian Soccer Player Alex da Costa: It's Not Anti-Gay To Believe Being Gay Is Wrong
Brazilian soccer player Alex da Costa has been pretty vocal in his belief that homosexuality is wrong, but he wants to make it clear that that doesn't mean he's homophobic.
Speaking to Swedish paper Expressen, he said his views are not homophobic.
'God says one should love all people for what they are,' he said.
'We love everyone but do not like those who do not stand for what the Bible says. But this is not about homophobia.
'I don't agree that it is OK that a man lives with another man and a woman with a woman. That is my view. We don't agree.
'At the same time everyone is free to do what they want. Everyone has freedom.
'This is easy for me to explain. If you don't agree with me and what I believe, and what the Bible says, then that is up to you.'
Da Costa also said back in January that "God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Yves," which, while cute in terms of word play, really isn't helping his case.
What do you think, Instincters? Is there a distinction between believing being gay is "wrong" or "bad" and being anti-gay or homophobic?
this is still bigotry, wrapped in a sugar coating. which is fine. you have the right to believe what you want. however don't lie to yourself and the public saying it's not anti-gay, because it is. can't have it both ways...
If he believes being gay is wrong, then he shouldn't be gay. But, how can he condemn other people for being born that way?
I don't agree with black, brown, or white people. They are free to be whomever they want, but I don't agree with their lifestyle. But please don't call me racist. I'm not racist!
^^ How stupid does that sound?
Homosexuality is natural, attraction to the opposite sex is natural, and natural just as being attracted to the same sex. You have species on this planet that can reproduce on their own, and some that literally go through sex changes. It's in nature, it's natural, and it has been around. As far as religion goes, saying it's the word of God. I say until I hear it from God saying "it is a sin." Then I have sinned for being attracted to the same sex. As for the bible? That book has been manipulated and rewritten throughout history. There are parts I do believe in, but some parts I shall wait until God returns and proves me wrong. Not a bunch of groupies. Until then...there is nothing wrong with homosexuality, God created me as a homosexual. If it was a sin? I would not have been a homosexual.
Southern whites and South Africans used the bible to justify their belief in the subjugation of blacks. They were still bigots. Your religious beliefs create your bigotry most of the time. Its time to change your religion and open your mind.
He is plain and simple a bigot. Oh and the Bible is purely fictitious as well.
These morons will say "Bible this" and "Bible that" when it comes to gay stuff; but they never seem to discuss other aspects in it like not eating shellfish, not wearing clothes made of two fabrics, not sleeping in the bed of a woman who's had her period and you must kill any child who curses it's parent. Well, says it in the bible. What are you waiting for, Sir? Sounds like your just a hypocrite using his religion as a reason to hate on people - not because these are your "beliefs". Sure would be great if Jesus did come back just to slap you for it.
I believe most (but not all) Christians have historically believed that the Mosaic laws you refer to applied to the ancient Israelite nation and were superseded by the coming of Christ. (Certainly the Mosaic law on divorce was explicitly repudiated by Jesus, although there is even disagreement on what the new rules are there--i.e., whether adultery is a legitimate ground for dissolving a marriage)
I'm not advocating that view or what appears to be yours, which is to say, that a good Christian should condemn homosexuality AND avoid shellfish. I'm saying it's a more complicated theological issue than it may appear to someone who reduces it to a childish game of "Gotcha!"
I think he's mad that no guy has hit on him.
I agree that you aren't phobic if you don't agree with something. But by virtue of the fact that he is so vocal about it and has repeatedly been quoted stating that he's against the gay lifestyle, and uses the bible as a crutch, suggests that he's a big ol' homophobe.
If I said being str8 is wrong, str8s would accuse me of being str8phobic.
Yes it is, idiot
I agree. You can't knock someone's belief or their foolishness. As long he treats people fair. I am personally ok with his belief. Because at one point in my life I shared those same beliefs. And today I am married to man.
Yes there's a distinction. If it is against your religious beliefs, or personal morals, that homosexuality is wrong more power to you and stand by your beliefs; however, there's a line that gets crossed when sharing your personal beliefs becomes "tell everyone that i'm right and they're wrong". Morals and personal beliefs are a PERSONAL thing, just like homosexuality is. Have your beliefs, enjoy them, that's what America is for, but don't force your beliefs on someone else because you think you have the right. And this is coming from a 25 year old gay man that has been out since he was 12.

The recent retirement of Will Brice's No. 10 jersey at the University of Virginia drew a host of local folks, family and friends, to the special occasion at halftime of the Cavaliers' ACC clash with the University of Miami.
Much like news of Will's honor, that came as no surprise. When I first heard of the honor, some folks, who were unable to attend in body, I know were there in spirit.
Those three special folks are Will's father, the late Laurie Brice, and his maternal grandparents, Brown and Sue Wylie.

Hey guys,
My oldest son is finally turning 6 and I am looking forward to upgrading to a new bow for him. We've shot most of the youth models over the last couple of years, but now it feels like he can shoot a more true compound (not just a "toy" bow) Recently I've been looking at the Fuse Freestyles. Anyone have a suggestion for what they feel is the best bow for a kid starting out. I want something that will grow a little with him, but is still a good bow. Still looking for something that shoots like a compound in a junior model too (ie letoff of some sort). He's a strong kid, but still wouldn't want a draw weight of more than 15lbs to start probably and a wide draw length adjustability range is ideal. Any advice/experience to share would be welcomed...

Accuser In Park Yoochun Case Supplies Her Account Of What Took place The Evening Of Alleged Sexual Assault
Accuser In Park Yoochun Case Offers Her Account Of What Took place The Evening Of Alleged Sexual Attack jun2yng June 28, 2016 0 In the wake of the new Park Yoochun scandal, MBC's "PD Notebook" interviewed one of the mostgirls who got hereahead in the sexual assault case. The interview used to be broadcast on June 28.
The woman, generally known as "A, said, I think and so shameful … Because I feel like I used to betotally played with… And I couldn't argue because he's a celebrity, and he left without a unmarriedobserve of apology.
She explained in detail what happened the night of the incident:
"When you switch the track on there, it fills the space. Park Yoochun sings and turns club music up in point of fact loud. I didn't trulyunderstand howto check the temper because I hadn't been running there for long, and I becameoccupied with what I must make when he came and put his arm around my waist and commenced dancing."
She continued, "He kept asking me 'How much cash practice you lot need,' and 'Why are you here.' He then said, 'I can't listen you, let's pass to the bathroom.' I didn't think the rest of it and followed him in."
"He asked, 'How much money do you want that you began working here? I might bein a position to just generate profits and then quit.' His tone and attitude made me feel like he was wantingto shop for me, and his consistentcommunicateof cash started to irritate me. He kept speaking about money. He then kissed me. He grabbed my face and kissed me, and when he pulled away, he said, 'What is this, there's no emotion.'"
"A" acknowledged that at the time, she was in the route of her menstrual cycle. "When he was kissing me, he lifted my skirt, so I told him to stop. I without a doubt said the three words. To stop. I said, 'Stop, I'm on my period.' He then said, 'Oh, yet 1 still wish to see whenever you and I are compatible.'"
She said she attempted to leave. I was going to leave, but in the instant when I looked in the mirror, he took his pants off. When I was status there frozen in surprise, he forced me down. I said I didnt wish to and I wasnt going to, so he then stood me up and became me around.
I started crying, and he said, 'It's okay, because we're going to date. We're going thus far now. You're going to give oppa your number, right? Right?' I didn't respond."
"I didn't need to have sex in that way in a leisure room where all and sundry give the axe hear. Especially when Im on my period, even supposing information technology were my boyfriend. I'm now not even inquiring for help. Really, just the truth that it happened in that small rest room is so embarrassing. And I was scared: What do I do if people in finding out?'"
She explained that she really wanted coin at the time. "I obligatorya huge issue of money. I wanted money for education. There's no prostitution there and you'll be able to earn quite a few money, so I set to work at the 'ten cafe' (adult entertainment establishment). I had never heard of employees leaving to visit a 2nd location with customers, and the cafe also stops you from going, because they don't wish problems."
"In my opinion, Park Yoochun treated me as anythingnot up to a human being. If I were any person he really loved, would he have done it like that, there? As a man. I think he had the concept that 'the ladies that paintings there won't be capable offile anything, they won't be able to deny what I say, and there's no CCTV in the bathroom, so they wouldn't dare think to sue me.'"
"A" said, "I think he thinks that he's a superstar and a most sensible star, and that we wouldn't brainsound asleep alongside him. For me, I in truth needed the money, and my parent's don't have a really perfect background, so I was operating there purely for subsistence. But for the straightforwardreality that I worked there, he thought not anything of me and sexually assaulted me. I can't forgive him."
In addition to the interview with the woman, the show aired a clip of an actor, who remained anonymous, talking about his enjoy with Park Yoochun, in which he explains his challenge believing the news: "First, Park Yoochun is so sincere, and in the case of work, there's nothing to bitch about. In each and every aspect, I honestly handiest acceptjust right things to say. He's respectful, at all timesgreat to the staff. On account of that, I actually had a difficult fourth dimension believing what I read in the news."

Compare great Lancia Mobile Servicing prices in Hendon with Who Can Fix My Car.
Quick and efficient service, was very attentive and friendly in offering advice on what needed to be done. I will be definitely using in the future
Could have charged the quoted price without the extra £10 with no specific reason. However, good service and quick turnaround, friendly staff.
Took my car here to have the timing belt and water pump changed. Good price and very good service. Recommended 5*
For my experience , they are honest, work hard and reliable people. I will definately go back next time. Thanks
Quick and easy, would use again
New clutch, one new tyre and a few other little bits, highly recommend, good service and kept me updated throughout
Alex was friendly and informative, I would recommend this garage. My car was fixed within 24 hours which was great and as an extra bonus i was also provided a courtesy car which was very handy. This garage will be my go-to garage from now. Thank you very much.
absolutely superb service from Alex. highly recommended and i will continue to use for all my cars. the guy was very honest and fair and treated us better then most main dealers. Southgate motor engineering is a example to how all garages should do business.customer for life
had my car remapped stage 1 from 122 bhp - 142 bhp Made a really nice change to the car with the extra power, great work at a great garage, would recommend 100%
Absolutely brilliant service. Quoted and delivered work faster than expected. Would definitely recommend.
Experienced garage who dealt with a number of separate issues very well, including ordering in specialist parts. Returning to find the car washed and vacuumed was a nice touch. 8 stars rather than 10 purely for the fact that I was informed they would need to keep the car overnight and it was only when I put my foot down that the job was finished on the day. Normally I'd accept that but I had dropped the car off at 7am so clearly had hoped to be first in the queue!
Very good on the whole, the mechanic was able to fix the problem within half an hour. Branko very helpful and honest. Will definitely go again. They are a little pricey compared to the other estimates I received but you are guaranteed a very top service.
They were great, really nice people, very quick, would use again.
Very happy with service, done a decent job, would use again.
Pleased with the work done, would use again.

The most amazing things about America are the little truths. I'm not talking about freedom of speech or religion, I consider those large truths. Everyone sees and appreciates the large truths. However, the small truths are not universally appreciated. I'd argue that small truths are often cast in a negative light by many who yearn for change.
One example of a small truth is that most Americans are overweight and a significant percentage are obese. The media likes to spin this as a negative. Yet in much of the world, decent nutrition is difficult to come by. Obesity is a byproduct of an economic system in which even the poorest of the poor have easy access to food.
My favorite small truth is the fact that in America, there is a large industry devoted to battling constipation. Try this experiment the next time you are home sick during a weekday: watch two hours of network television and count the commercials touting laxatives, stool softeners and prunes. I dare say that you will see a handful. Meanwhile in many areas of the world, dysentery is a larger problem. Keeping regular is a burden for affluent Americans, but it isn't one we share with our third world brothers.
Another little truth is that Americans are wasteful. They say that the Native Americans used every bit of the buffalo, it was sacred to them. That's because they were poor, they couldn't afford to waste anything. Today's Americans, even the poorest, can afford to trash items that still have value, or waste resources on the unnecessary. To tie it all together, I offer the newest ad for prunes. Sunsweet now advertises packages of individually wrapped prunes, despite the fact that a normal serving of prunes is between four and eight pieces. That packaging arrangement offers Americans a chance to toss a little extra in the garbage on the way to their morning grumpy.

Name: Jamie Young
Age: 38
Residence: East Lynne
Occupation: Homemaker
Public office experience: Present member, East Lynne School District Board of Education.
Community involvement: None.
1. The overall state budget continues to take big cuts. If education becomes a major piece of those cuts over the next several years, what changes would you be prepared to support in order to accommodate less funding for your district?
Bruton: We don't have enough funding as it is, that is why I am trying to get involved.
Graham-Denner: Consider all options (and) support only those options that would better us for the future.
Parris: I would have to see what is allocated by the budget to make any kind of decision about budget cuts.
Young: I am never in favor of education having to take financial cuts. I think our teachers and students deserve as many financial and learning resources as possible. Unfortunately, we have had to almost eliminate the Parents as Teachers program due to funding. PAT was a wonderful program for the child and the parent. I am never prepared to support less funding in my district.
2. What is your vision for public education in your community? What kind of relationship should a district/school board have with its community? With its parents and families?
Bruton: My vision is for parents and families to have a good understanding of what is going on within the district and for parents to be responsible for their children's upbringing and schooling.
Graham-Denner: A school district and its community should work in unison. Our children are our first priority.
Parris: My vision for our school is to exceed state education requirements and bring awareness to the community that East Lynne School has a top-notch staff, ethically and morally, and it can only get better with community support. I will encourage board members, teachers and parents to join forces and work together and strive for the betterment of our children's education and well-being.
Young: My vision for public education in my community is a school that runs efficiently with few to no problems, and it seems to be working wonderfully. The school board should always be available when needed and always fair and approachable with its community, parents and students. I feel we have been.
3. What are the current challenges within your school district? How do you feel you can help find solutions to these issues?
Bruton: I believe, with the group of people who are elected, we can find solutions that will work for most everybody in the district.
Graham-Denner: Parent involvement, raise more awareness
Parris: I believe funding is the biggest hurdle for our school district. Communication of information is paramount if the district wants to get support from the community. Through families and community involvement we can have a voice that will send the message, East Lynne School District a hidden jewel that warrants the recognition and program funding that any of the "big" schools get.
Young: I currently don't feel that we have any challenges facing our school board at this time. We are a small enough district that we are lucky enough to not have the challenges of the larger districts. Our test scores are high, and our staff and students seem to very happy at this time.

Powered by our sister site, Family Vacation Critic
Pleasant, Easy Days in Cape May, NJ
Author: Host Bonjour (More Trip Reviews by Host Bonjour)Date of Trip: May 2008
This HOST has FINALLY gotten a little vacation time !!!!!!!
There had been an open invitation to go down to my Dad's place in Cape May & I had missed SO many chances to go (for various and sundry reasons, lol) but THIS time was different. A week ago Saturday morning in the last days of May, I decided "yes, I am going to go to Cape May!"
I set my clock for early Saturday morning & hadn't bothered to pack the night before - I was going kamikaze style Sat. morning & packing for me, the dog, going to the bank and stopping at the pharmacy & then OFF we were on the Garden State Parkway in New Jersey en route to the Cape & off we were in what turned to be record time as NOBODY was on the road & we just kind of got there in a whirlwind time - no law breaking! We made it to the condo which is on Beach Ave (that's the ocean drive for folks who don't know the area, cause I didn't!!!) & dumped off my bags & the dog's stuff & then we set out to walking around & showing me the lay of the land. Cape May is known to some as "Exit Zero" because it is literally the last bit of land that IS New Jersey before one hits Delaware. It also happens to be a little slice of beach heaven.
The season hadn't kicked into "high" yet but it's about to; translation, we can't go back to the condo until September when it isn't rented out anymore!! Dad's gotta pay the mortgage Anyway, we had a wonderful weekend together walking, riding (Cape May is bicycle friendly) & eating great food. The "main house" of the condo is actually a bona fide historical landmark house & so the main has like two units in it (& the main house is beautiful, especially out front & the circular stairways as one looks up - so very Victorian, well preserved) & the condo units are actually built onto the back of the house & go through to the back of the next street, Stockton. What was sometimes one of the more pleasurable moments for me, since I have the kind of skin that burns in a nanosecond even with my back turned away from the sun on beach (still got burned on ankles, top, legs, face..??) I found I took quite a liking to sitting on the beautiful Verandah that wrapped around the house, although front & center was the place to be - overlooking the beach & the ocean!! We'd bring down some snacks & beverages & my dog & just simply take it easy & rock in the period rocking chairs. Gave new meaning to the sound "aahhh" being out there on that verandah!!
Cape May also boasts a lovely "pedestrian only" area with shops & restaurants; some shops are just typical beach souvenirs but others have some really interesting items. Also, every year they raffle off a Mercedes Benz. I didn't check the raffle ticket price; it used to be $10 but like everything that's gone up - it too may have gone up. I enjoy going through this area because sometimes I find some unique things or just enjoy the walk. On the way there are some SPECTACULAR and HISTORIC VIctorian homes - gingerbread style or something out of one of those little Christmas Villages people collect but it's the real thing & they are painted in the most marvelous, eye popping colors you've ever seen. Picture postcard visions, these houses are & for the most part, most of Cape May. We drove all the way down Beach Ave to have a peek at the Cape May Light House; all fans of lighthouses have to go for a look but if you have a car I recommend driving down there because from where the "main zone" is, it is quite a bit out of the zone. But there are some condo rentals down there too & some people want that quiet & just access to the beach & then they either cook breakfast or make lunch in their unit & then go out to dinner - lots & lots of great restaurants to choose from, only minutes away.
From where I was staying, one was in walking distance & I went to it twice. It was called "Cabanas" down Beach Ave and I think to the corner of Ocean. Service was very good, atmosphere friendly and casual and the prices were reasonable. Great Menu.
Another favorite, closer by on Howard Ave & Beach, was The Green Cafe which focused on Organic food. I went there 3 times for breakfast (yes it was that good - blueberry/lemon pancakes, ummmmm - a waffle with fresh fruit - all of the food was made with whole wheat flour) & one lunch, chicken tacos with cheese, beans, salsa, scallion sour cream (last two items on side) over bed of mixed greens. Oh & they make great coffee & although I didn't try one, it sounds like they made great smoothies. It seemed there wasn't anything there that wasn't good. So there's s few cheers for being green & organic in Cape May, NJ!!
When Dad was still around, we went to Lucky Bones restaurant, just at the turn off entrance to Beach Entrance from main road. REALLY GREAT food - had a Scallops dinner special that was FANTASTIC & the place was really popular as evidenced by our not too long wait (& well worth it) for a table. Dad was there this past weekend, going there to see the Belmont Stakes (we're a family that has always enjoyed racing though it seems things aren't going as well as they used to) & I was so jealous! We also went to eat at C-View restaurant & has a really wonderful meal there. Again, I went with a meal from the specials list & had a stuffed pork chop (stuffed with spinach & mushrooms) along with green beans & home made mashed potatoes. Very delicious. Very good service too & prices were also in the reasonable zone. Restaurant was on the route you would pass to get to Lucky Bones, it would be on the left side.
The nice thing about being in a condo is that you can also go to the Cape May Acme & buy some things for the fridge/pantry etc so you can have some of your lighter meals, snacks or whatever one forgot to bring for the trip down!! Acme is easy to get to & is near the pedestrian only zone but is near to the end of it & as such, there is a streetlight so the next driveway is your right turn into the Acme market parking lot! Everything one needs whilst being in Cape May is IN Cape May!!
Sun, fun, beautiful pristine beaches - clean & fun. Beach passes are REQUIRED & are available by the day, weekend, weekly or seasonal. Boogie Boarding is a VERY popular pastime on Cape May Beach. The waves get to be great by a certain point in time in the day!! There are arcades, hotels, condos to rent if that suits, bikes for 4 or 2 that you can rent, the trolley tour that you can take, kayaking trips to go on, everyone is kind & friendly & oh so clean. People say hello to you when passing by, I checked on an elderly man who had set himself down on a brick wall, just to see if he needed anything or was just "taking a break" & he thanked me for checking. What else would one do? Someone did me a good turn. I'd bought my Dad a card in the Cape May shops to thank him for making it possible to have this great little escape from NYC which felt oh so good. I'd written the card, stamped it, & then LOST IT!! I could only hope that someone would find it & since the postage was there and it was all written out, would mail it. And they DID! My Dad got the card the very next day, in fact. How nice that someone did that for me. It's just a tiny example of the "feel good" you get from being in Cape May, along with all the tiny treasures that it has to offer almost EVERY visitor to Cape May. It is simply the most heavenly beach in the N'east (that's not too cold to swim in - Cape Cod is great but even in high summer, don't know if I'd take to the waters!) area, for me, the N'east is New Jersey & northward, including Long Island and anywhere.
Cape May, may just be the BEST. I'm a convert & there's no going to any other beach here up North at all. Other than that we move on to Florida or the Caribbean............
I'm glad I had the offer to go, glad I TOOK the offer to go & happy it turned out to be such a wonderful experience. Previously, I'd been there before but we'd always gone on day trips. So I KNEW it was really nice but I didn't know just how HEAVENLY it could feel to be there for so many days in a row. It was my MAY great escape (pun intended but it did technically start in end of May!!)!! Now with the condo, we can go kind of right before high season & then just after peak season & hope for a great September! Weather was great & there is even a little movie theatre there too, in case you should want to take in a flick - hey, ya never know, sometimes it rains.
Here are some Cape May websites to help you discover for yourself: http://www.capemaytimes.com/ http://www.discovercapemay.com/ http://www.capemaychamber.com/
My car is good on gas & although it hurt to fill up before I left, I drove down, drove back & still have more than a quarter of a tank left & that includes driving a little down there & driving a little bit back here at home. So the only real travel expenses were road/bridge tolls; for some reason Garden State cost less going south than it did going north - maybe that's because it's heading back to NYC oohhh! ugh. Otherwise, it's an affordable vacation but it will seem like you spent more because Cape May presents to you a very beautiful beach destination unlike many others - classy yet fun, distinctive, historic & still available to the everyman. A cut above, but open to everyone & they are calling all beach-goers to come & see.
Take it from me, a very FUSSY beach-goer, world traveler, this place HAS IT ALL, you won't be disappointed! When the water warms up - now it's about 60F, you can't GET ME OUT of the OCEAN!! Now THAT is GREAT BEACH!!
If you are within 150 +/- miles radius of Cape May or more if you're looking to spend a weeks' time or more, think of Cape May for your vacation this summer. It might just be a good way to make use of your summer vacation funds, or, reinstate your summer vacation plans if you were thinking that maybe you couldn't do a vacation, maybe NOW YOU CAN. THINK CAPE MAY!!

Bill Rogers, one of the mates was rather badly wounded by Shrapnel this afternoon near the C.C. Station. At about 6pm both our artillery and the enemys got very active, the enemy have not troubled us from the direction of Kaba Tepe again today, though a gun from that direction has been firing at the minesweepers and T.B.D's throughout the day.'

I don't recall Blizzard saying whether he was the final boss or not. They have said that we will remove him as the Horde Warchief in SoO and that SoS is the final content patch of MoP. Anything else is just player speculation.

I don't think he is being controlled or corrupted by anything. I think all of his emotions are being empowered by the Sha making him more powerful and more dangerous just by being on Pandaria. I do believe hi is the final boss of SoO and that we will not be killing a Sha in Org. I think they are tied to Pandaria because of Y'shaarj.

Year-End Tax Planning for Employers
The Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation team at Polsinelli Shughart have analyzed the potential implications of the new Medicare Tax to their clients' businesses and can provide direct and practical advice on your company's compensation planning.
A new Medicare tax goes into effect on January 1, and employers should review their deferred compensation arrangements to identify possibilities for tax savings by early payment of taxes in 2012. Additionally, a new Medicare surtax will be applied to all net investment income beginning in 2013. Compensation arrangements should be reviewed to minimize the affect of the new surtax charge.
Enacted as part of the health care reform law, beginning in tax years after 2012, a new additional .9 percent tax applies to FICA wages exceeding the following thresholds:
Filing status
Married filing jointly
Married filing separately
Single, head of household or qualifying widow(er) with dependent child
The new tax applies only to employees, not employers, although employers have withholding obligations. The same legislation also subjects unlimited amounts of net investment income that exceeds specified thresholds to a Medicare tax of 3.8 percent. The 3.8 percent Medicare Surtax applies to the lesser of (1) net investment income or (2) the amount by which modified adjusted gross income exceeds the threshold amounts in the chart above.
Tax Strategies
Before December 31, employees and employers should consider tax strategies for reducing the effect of the new Medicare taxes including:
Accelerating compensation income in 2012
Employers and employees may want to consider opportunities to accelerate wages and bonuses so that they are paid in 2012, rather than 2013. Not only will these wages and bonuses escape the additional Medicare tax, but will be subject only to the maximum 35 percent federal income tax versus a possible maximum of 39.65 percent in 2013, depending on Congressional and Presidential action in the coming weeks.
Early inclusion of deferred compensation for FICA
An alternative to early payment of bonuses or other deferred compensation is early payment of FICA. For example, 2012 bonuses which are paid early in 2013 could be electively included in FICA income for 2012 so long as the bonuses are vested, and the bonuses are paid by March 15, 2013 and so long as the elective early inclusion for FICA income relates to all employees covered under the plan.
Early payment of FICA taxes for defined benefit plans
Deferred compensation is not generally subject to Medicare until it is vested and ascertainable. For defined benefit plans, this means that Medicare tax often is not paid until an employee terminates employment, when the total value of the plan benefit is ascertainable. For defined benefit deferred compensation plans that currently have vested and accrued benefits, the employee can electively pay FICA taxes presently for vested, accrued benefits on an estimated basis. If such early elections are made in 2012, the additional Medicare tax can be avoided for amounts accrued and vested this year. Early FICA inclusion will also exempt the future value of that amount from any additional FICA tax, including the additional .9 percent rate applicable to years after 2012.
Early vesting of 457(f) plans
For deferred compensation plans of tax-exempt and governmental employers, subject to Code Section 457, early vesting in 2012 can avoid future increased Medicare tax rate. The general rule is that once an employee is vested in an amount payable under a 457(f) plan, those amounts are subject to full taxation, including income and FICA, even when the employee is not entitled to a distribution. An employer could choose to accelerate vesting of 457(f) amounts (though payment may not be accelerated), to enable the employee to pay 2012 Medicare and income tax rates.
The following chart shows how the new Medicare tax can affect the taxation of employee benefits and executive compensation:
Type of Income
Subject to New Medicare Tax?
Earned Income
Unearned Income
Fringe Benefits subject to FICA
Fringe Benefits not subject to FICA
Deductible employee contributions to qualified plans
Employer contributions to qualified plans
Roth contributions
Vested nonqualified deferred compensation
Restricted stock –vested or subject to 83(b) election
Stock option exercise
Nonqualified deferred compensation paid
Tax-exempt income, such as life insurance proceeds, state or municipal bonds veterans' benefits
Roth distributions
Interest, dividends, annuities, rents, royalties
Capital gains (not sale of trades or businesses)*
Limited partnership trade or business income*
S corporation trade or business income*
Passive activity, working capital, business of trading in financial instruments income
Controlled foreign corporation, passive foreign investment company, qualified electing funds
Net self-employment income
* Other than from sale of trades or business, provided that it is not a passive activity or trading in financial instruments
Note that the IRS is drafting proposed regulations on these new Medicare taxes, and that could possibly affect executive and deferred compensation plans and arrangements. Polsinelli Shughart will continue to keep you updated on developments in this area.

EasyJet to Join FTSE 100 in Defiance of Founder Stelios's Fury
Kari LundgrenEasyJet Plc is set to ascend to the FTSE 100 Index next week, joining British Airways on the U.K. benchmark less than a month after shares of Europe's second-biggest low-cost carrier rose to a record.
EasyJet has doubled its value to 3.97 billion pounds ($6.02 billion) in the past 12 months, making the Luton, England-based airline the 85th-largest company listed in London at 8:39 a.m., according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Businesses can join the FTSE 100 only when they rank among the top 90 to avoid yo-yoing.
From two planes in 1995, EasyJet has grown to 214 Airbus SAS aircraft carrying more than 59 million people annually, 20 million fewer than rival Ryanair Holdings Plc. Led by Chief Executive Officer Carolyn McCall, the company has refined its no-frills model, using allocated seating, flexible tickets and corporate agents to grab a bigger slice of the business market.
"There's been a huge cost focus and they've been very clever at targeting high-fee paying business traffic at primary airports and taking that market share from the legacy carriers, who have been cutting," said Donal O'Neill, an analyst with Goodbody Stockbrokers in Dublin. "The market value reflects the underlying performance and the performance has been phenomenal."
Cutoff Date
FTSE Group will announce its next quarterly assessment of changes to the benchmark's membership on March 6, basing its decision on closing prices from the previous day. The changes will take effect from the start of trading on March 15.
McCall, who stepped down as CEO of Guardian Media Group Plc to join EasyJet in July 2010, targeted the airline's on-time performance, load factor and profit-per-seat. Her oversight has seen on-time arrivals jump to 88 percent from 60 percent and the load factor, a measure of occupancy, grow to 88.9 percent in 2012 from 87.2 percent two years earlier.
"Carolyn McCall at EasyJet was one of the standout performers of 2012," Willie Walsh, CEO of British Airways-parent International Consolidated Airlines Group SA, said Feb. 28 when he presented earnings. When IAG set cost targets to overhaul its Spanish domestic and short-haul service, it benchmarked against EasyJet, he told analysts.
McCall has opened negotiations with EasyJet founder Stelios Haji-Ioannou, who has long opposed its growth plans. The relationship with entrepreneur, who controls 37 percent of its shares, remains contentious. Stelios, who goes by his first name, cut his holding in January for the first time since 2004 and threatened to sell more stock if EasyJet buys more planes.
Prudent Plan
"If the board places another order for aircraft it will destroy shareholder value into the future," Stelios said in January. "Instead of ordering new aircraft, EasyJet should aim for a 10 percent profit margin."
EasyJet has said it's targeting "prudent" capacity increases of 3 percent to 5 percent as it develops a proposal to present to shareholders on fleet management after 2015 and aircraft deliveries from 2017.
The airline lured 10 million corporate travelers in 2012 and boosted capacity to destinations including Switzerland and France in the last three months of the year. It will add lucrative business connections between Moscow and London, as well as from Milan to Rome's Fiumicino airport, in March. Competitors flying on the low-cost carrier's routes trimmed capacity by 800,000 seats in the last quarter of 2012.
Other companies that may join the index include London Stock Exchange Group Plc, ranked 90, while Serco Group Plc and John Wood Group Plc may both be removed.

- Forum: Classic Menswear
- Thread: "Samuel Windsor" Shoes??
I have purchased 3 pairs of SW shoes.
Although my experience with 'good' shoes is limited I have so far found nothing wrong with the SW shoes.
They are comfy and serve their purpose very well, and I can't argue with £35 per pair.
I would say they are a great shoe if you are working to a budget. Not everyone can afford to part with the prices requested from the likes of Church's or Loakes, yet still need a good looking functional simple styled shoe.

As the final deadline for creating state health insurance exchanges passed Friday, New Jersey, Tennessee and Florida said they would not work with the federal government on establishing insurance markets required under ObamaCare.
Exchanges are online markets required under the federal health care law where consumers will be able to buy individual private policies and apply for government subsidies to help pay their premiums.
In his announcement Friday, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said his administration is committed to complying with ObamaCare, but "only in a manner that is the most effective and efficient for the residents of New Jersey, and the businesses that will carry the costs of this new program."
Christie, who previously vetoed legislation establishing a state-run health insurance exchange, said in a statement that the federal government is best equipped to operate the exchange.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam, a Republican, said in a letter to U.S. Health and Human Resources Secretary Kathleen Sebelius that the partnership model doesn't address his concerns over what he called "aggressive federal timelines, a lack of true flexibility for states, and misguided federal policies."
Haslam noted that he had the same complaints when he rejected a state-based exchange in December. His deadline decision means Tennesseans will participate in an exchange completely run by the federal government.
In Florida, which already missed the deadline for operating an exchange on its own, Gov. Rick Scott also declined to partner with the federal government.

Hepatocyte Gene Therapy
The overall goal of our research is to provide solutions to biologically relevant questions and to generate preclinical data that will lead to the development of new clinical therapies for patients with inborn errors of metabolism. Gene transfer and small molecules are hopeful strategies for future therapies, and our research focuses on investigating both of these approaches.
The liver is an attractive organ for gene therapy; hepatocyte genes have long been appreciated because their long-term expression provides a major opportunity for treatment, or perhaps, even a cure for several inborn errors of metabolism. Our efforts are currently focused on developing safe and effective gene therapy for primary hyperoxaluria type 1, Crigler-Najjar syndrome, and alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency. To achieve these goals, we are investigating multiple gene therapy platforms, including helper-dependent adenoviral (HDAd) and adeno associated viral (AAV) vectors.
Small Molecules for Inborn Errors of Metabolism
Another one of our laboratory's research interests is investigation of small molecules, orally bioavailable drugs, for the treatment of inborn errors of metabolism. We are evaluating the use of small molecules for the treatment of two diseases, AAT deficiency, one of the most common genetic causes of liver disease in children, and pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC) deficiency.
The most common genetic lesion in AAT deficiency results in a mutant protein, which forms aggregates that accumulate within the endoplasmic reticulum, ultimately causing liver injury. We are investigating drugs to increase the cellular clearance of toxic undegraded proteins. For PDHC deficiency, we are currently testing drugs acting on PDHC regulation to enhance the residual enzymatic activity. In collaboration with Dr. di Bernardo we are also searching for candidate drugs for both disorders by using a novel systems biology approach based on the analysis of drug expression profiles
Cell Culture Facility
The Cell Culture Facility provides fully-equipped cell culture facilities and technical support for cellular and cytogenetic studies to TIGEM investigators.
In the last years, research at TIGEM has confirmed that collection of cell lines from individuals with genetic disorders is essential in order to test candidate genes and to perform functional studies. These cell lines have been collected and organized into a database, which includes a wide variety of immortalized cell lines, as well as fibroblast and lymphoblast cell lines from patients with various genetic diseases. This collection has been useful in providing readily available sources of DNA/RNA for projects organized for the investigation of pathogenetic mechanisms.
The Core is responsible for the establishment, maintenance, and centralized database storage of these cell lines. In addition, the Core offers cytogenetic services such as chromosome analyses (standard and high resolution chromosome analysis) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on cell lines, peripheral blood samples, embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, as well as directly on tissue samples. Lastly, the Core provides mouse primary hepatocytes cultures and performs screening and treatment processes for detection and removal of Mycoplasma contamination, respectively.
Vector Core
Gene transfer vectors are widely used in preclinical studies in disease animal models and as research tools to achieve gene transfer in vitro and in vivo. There is no single vector that is adequate for all applications, and the gene transfer vector has to be carefully chosen depending on disease, targeted cell type, number of treatments required, and the size and nature of the gene to be delivered.
Viral vectors were the first to be developed, as they exploit the natural property of viruses to transfer their genetic material into the nucleus of infected cells. Vectors derived from DNA viruses do not usually integrate into the host genome and are not replicated at cell division. Therefore, long-term transgene expression from DNA virus-derived vectors is restricted to post-mitotic cells.
Our Vector Core is devoted to providing research grade adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector and adenoviral (Ad) vectors to TIGEM researchers at low cost with a short turn-around time.

Problem removing stock steering stabilizer bracket
I have a frustrating problem that all DIY and videos online dont show the same problem.
I am removing my stock steering stabilizer and all that is left is the stock tie rod bracket. It is held in place with a single bolt (more videos show ubolts or similar, which this is not that bracket). This only loosens the bracket...so you can turn it or slide it up/down the tie rod. The issue is removal. I have tried to pry it apart so you can pull it off, but cannot seem to get the right angle and it is quite stiff and dont want to damage anything. I managed to get it all the way to the passenger side where the tie connects to the hub where it is much smaller in diameter, but it still is too large/tight. I even tried the brute force hammering to just get it to widen and slip off. it is very stiff. Advice here? Such an easy job and there is always something small like this that is annoying. thx |
4351 Attachment(s)
I was able to pry it off. It's a PITA. Are you reusing it ?
I had the same problem getting mine off. I used a large pry bar and was able to get it off near the passenger side end. Good luck. I scraped a few knuckles getting mine off.
Well. I compromised. Lol. I decided it would work as well as the RC supplied bracket to attach the stabilizer shock and just reused it on that passenger side. Works perfectly. So far.

Seminar looks at trafficking
Human trafficking, one of the world's largest criminal activities, exploits and illegally forces people into labour.
In a modern day form of enslavement, children as young as nine are deceived, threatened, sold and used.
The Criminology Student's Association and the Rights and Democracy Club at Vancouver Island University and Haven House Society are hosting a lecture to help expose the reality of human trafficking. It takes place Tuesday (March 6) at 6 p.m. in Bldg. 200, Rm. 203 at VIU.
Cpl. Jassy Bindra, human trafficking coordinator for the RCMP, is the keynote speaker covering topics including: action government is taking to combat the trafficking of people; how the public can recognize when someone is being trafficked; and how society can contribute to the prevention and abolishment of sexual slavery in Canada.
Matt Laing, association president, said it's important for the community to be aware that human trafficking is happening, sometimes in their own neighbourhoods.
"It's underground, but community members can learn to recognize the signs," he said.
A beer and burger night fundraiser takes place March 8, at the Old City Pub. Proceeds go to the Haven Society which provide resources and support for abused women.

CZ P-01 is an awesome gun. Great shooter and feels great in the hand. I had 2 P250s but sold them.
Ill tell you about czs. I owned a pcr 9mm and I sold it . That was one of the worst mistakes I made. Wish I still had it.
I know CZs are scarce, but I just saw some, today at Clyde Armory in Bogart, GA.
Variety is the spice of life. There are to many good manufactures to limit yourself to just one.
I thought I had all the CZs I wanted, but today I spent some time with a P-07 in .40, and boy that omega trigger system was nice. Thin and aggressively textured grip too. :scratchchin:
Comparatively speaking, what of the sp2022, cz p-07, cz p-01 and cz pcr. I am looking to carry this one.

If you like the profile of Raf derbies go try out and the Allen Edmonds Leeds model, seriously. I had both albeit the pebbled grain Leeds, which I prefer, and I could not tell the different. Upon closer inspection the Leeds is a little bit rounder that I like more. YMMV

What is the diameter of the World Wide Web? The answer is not 7,927 miles, even though the Web truly is World Wide. According to Albert-László Barabási, Reka Albert and Hawoong Jeong of Notre Dame University, the diameter of the Web is 19.
The diameter in question is not a geometric distance; the concept comes from the branch of mathematics called graph theory. On the Web, you get from place to place by clicking on hypertext links, and so it makes sense to define distance by counting your steps through such links. The question is: If you select two Web pages at random, how many links will separate them, on average? Among the 800 million pages on the Web, there's room to wander down some very long paths, but Barabási et al. find that if you know where you're going, you can get just about anywhere in 19 clicks of the mouse.
Barabási's calculation reflects an interesting shift in the style and the technology of graph theory. Just a few years ago it would have been unusual to apply graph-theoretical methods to such an enormous structure as the World Wide Web. Of course just a few years ago the Web didn't exist. Now, very large netlike objects seem to be everywhere, and many of them invite graph-theoretical analysis. Perhaps it is time to speak not only of graph theory but also of graph practice, or even graph engineering.

Home Run Review Costs Rockies In 4-3 Loss To Nationals
Posted by Mike Rice
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Ian Desmond had to wait nearly four minutes on third base Wednesday night while his potential go-ahead home run was reviewed.
"I was just wondering what I was going to do if they messed it up," he said, "and luckily they didn't."
After the replay review, Desmond's solo homer provided the go-ahead run as the Washington Nationals rallied from a three-run deficit for 4-3 win over the Colorado Rockies, sweeping the three-game series.
Right-hander Matt Belisle (2-4) came on to face Desmond with one out in the seventh. Desmond's hit appeared to bounce off the top of the wall in right center, then off the railing in front of the first row and onto the field.
"The way it bounced back hard like that I kind of assumed it was over, and the way that (center fielder Drew) Stubbs kind of just didn't go after it made it a little bit easier," he said. "But at that point I was like `I'm going to get a triple,' so yes I thought it was gone, but I wasn't 100 percent sure."
After a review that took 3:42, Desmond had his 15th homer.
Jayson Werth also homered for Washington, which has won a season-high five straight.
Washington's Doug Fister (7-2) was hit hard early and allowed three runs on seven hits over seven innings.
"Constant battle all night," he said. "Biggest thing was making sure the ball got down in the zone."
Tyler Clippard handled the eighth and Rafael Soriano pitched the ninth for his 20th.
Michael McKenry hit a three-run homer for Colorado, which has lost 14 of 16 and finished its road trip 1-6.
Rockies rookie left-hander Tyler Matzek went 6 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on six hits in his fifth start. He threw 95 pitches, striking out six and walking one.
Matzek struck out the final three batters he faced -- the last one being left-handed Bryce Harper -- before manager Walt Weiss brought in Belisle to face the right-handed Desmond.
"I think (Matzek) got stronger as the game went on, but he was in uncharted territory," Weiss said. "He's a young guy that probably hasn't thrown more than 90, 95 pitches in the game."
The Rockies took 3-0 lead in the second.
Troy Tulowitzki and Corey Dickerson opened with singles. After Ryan Wheeler flied out, McKenry connected with Fister's second pitch for his first home run of the season.
Colorado hit the ball hard off Fister, who finished with five strikeouts and no walks while improving to 5-0 this season at Nationals Park.
He also got help from his defense, with Harper and Denard Span running down several balls in the outfield and Ryan Zimmerman making a diving stop in the seventh.
"There was a lot of strong contact tonight but guys made some great plays," Fister said.
Washington tied it in the fourth.
After Anthony Rendon singled and stole second, Matzek fell behind Werth 3-1. He left a fastball up and Werth sent it just over the center field fence for his seventh homer.
"Had a base open, 3-1 to a big hitter, that was a stupid pitch," Matzek said.
Harper followed with a bloop double to short left, went to third on a wild pitch, and scored on Desmond's single.
"I don't think we ever think we're out of it," Williams said. "We think that we have a chance at any time, especially three down."
With the exception of Jose Lobaton spelling catcher Wilson Ramos, Williams used the same lineup for the third straight game since Harper returned, with Harper in left, Ryan at third and Rendon at second.
Colorado turned a highlight-reel double-play in the first.
With no outs, second baseman DJ LeMahieu made a sliding stop of Rendon's grounder behind second base and flipped it with his glove hand to shortstop Tulowitzki at second. Tulowitzki barehanded the toss facing center field, spun around and fired to first in time to get Rendon.
Game Notes
The Rockies acquired RH Jair Jurrjens from the Reds for minor league first baseman Harold Riggins. Jurrjens, who was pitching at Triple-A Louisville, has a 53-37 record with a 3.63 ERA in seven major league seasons. ... An MRI on RH Jhoulys Chacin's shoulder did not indicate a quick return from the DL. "It looks like he has some (rotator) cuff inflammation and we need to sit down with the medical staff and figure out a plan of attack," manager Walt Weiss said. ... Williams said Harper, who has hit sixth since returning from the DL on Monday, will eventually move up. "Does he hit two for us, three for us, does he hit four? Yes. Maybe not today, but he will." ... The Nationals are off Thursday, while Colorado hosts the Dodgers with LH Franklin Morales (4-4, 5.75) opposing RH Zack Greinke (10-4, 2.78).

Just received an iem back from reshelling where I asked for a larger resistor in path, and they seem to have added two more resistors inline to the one already in there so there is now a cluster of three resistors, I don't know what prompted this strange decision but wanted to ask your opinion as to how and if this would effect sound quality.
Looking at it more closely, it appears that there are two resistors in series that go to singlearmature, and the old boxy resistor goes to the dual armature(single port)(don't know the value, it is yellow with a brownish strip at the end, reads 225e on it). The resistors in serie are butt-to-butt 20 ohms 5% tolerance
I believe they sound more veiled and bass heavy than they used to, but since they have new dampening, I can't really know what is the cause

The moment is forever etched in memory. Grainy black-and-white images on the family TV show Bill Mazeroski's home run sailing over outfielder Yogi Berra's head and the left-centerfield wall at Forbes Field, giving the Pittsburgh Pirates a dramatic 10-9 win and a World Series victory over the powerful New York Yankees.
The time is a little after 3:30 PM on October 13, as seen on the 'official' Longines clock mounted above the scoreboard. Pitcher Ralph Terry stands on the mound in shock as 'Maz' jubilantly races around the bases, waving his cap to the crowd and eventually jumping into a pile of fellow players and fans at home plate.
The 1960 World Series was the last one played before expansion, and it was the first one to be decided by a walk-off home run. The winning team was outscored 55-27 during the Series and the Most Valuable Player came from the losing team, something that's never happened since.
Yankees great Mickey Mantle openly wept at his locker after Game 7. The loss to the pitching-rich Pirates cost Yankees skipper Casey Stengel his job, as the media and owners Del Webb and Dan Topping wondered why he hadn't started ace Whitey Ford in Games 1, 4, and 7.
In the meantime, Pirates fans were frenzied, celebrating the last World Series ever to be played in the cozy confines of Forbes Field. Pirates legend Roberto Clemente picked up one of his two Series rings that year. Game 1 and Game 4 winning pitcher Vern Law captured the Cy Young award 1960 with a record of 20-9 and an ERA of 3.08, fanning 120 batters in 271+ innings. And fireman supreme Elroy Face saved 24 games that year, plus three World Series games.
Recently, a complete kinescope (film recording of live video) of Game 7 was discovered in (of all places) Bing Crosby's wine cellar. At the time, Crosby was a superstitious part-owner of the Pirates and couldn't bear to watch what he expected to be a Yankees Game 7 victory.
Instead, he and spouse Kathryn listened to the game with their friends Charles and Nonie de Limur in (of all places) Paris, using a shortwave radio. Crosby, an advocate for video tape recording technology as far back as the early 1950s, hired a company back in the USA to record the five-reel kinescope, which ran about two hours and 30 minutes and was apparently viewed by Crosby only once after the Series concluded.
A Snapshot in Time
To commemorate the Series, Topps issued an eight-card subset in its 1961 offering. This was the second time Topps included a World Series subset, with each card capturing a significant moment (more or less) from each Series game. Interestingly, these are some of the more difficult cards to find in high grade from the 1961 set.
If you are old enough to remember this historic Series, you probably had these cards as a kid – or your kids did. If not, here they are for your viewing pleasure, along with a summary of each game.
Game 1
The Pirates got out to a flying start at home with a 6-4 win over New York. They jumped out to a 3-1 lead in the first inning off Yanks starter Art Ditmar, added two more runs in the 4th inning, and a single run in the 6th to hold off the Bronx Bombers. Ditmar took the loss after getting yanked in the bottom of the first inning, and Mazeroski came through with a clutch performance, smacking a two-run home run in the 4th inning and scoring from first on a double in the 6th.
Game 2
The 'empire' struck back in Game 2, with Yankee hitters breaking out in the 3rd inning against Bucs starter Bob Friend for a pair of runs. They added three by the end of the 5th inning, and then the roof fell in on the Pirates as New York plated seven more runs in the 6th off ex-Dodger Clem Labine. Mickey Mantle showed his power with two home runs as the Yankees collected 19 hits and 16 runs to the Pirates' 3 runs. Bob Turley collected the win, with Bobby Shantz pitching one inning of relief.
Game 3
The New York power surge continued in Game 3 at Yankee Stadium. Bobby Richardson took a cue from Mantle and drove in four runs with a grand slam in the 1st inning off the unfortunate Labine, who had relieved Wilmer "Vinegar Bend" Mizell. New York added four more runs in the bottom of the fourth, capped by Richardson's two-run single, giving him six RBIs for the game. Meanwhile, Yankee ace Whitey For pitched a four-hit shutout complete game, as four more Pirate relievers tried in vain to stem the flood.
Game 4
After being outscored 30-9 and using fourteen pitchers in the first three games, you might think the Pirates were ready to call it quits. Not so fast! In a real nail-biter, Law came back and teamed with Face to twirl a 3-2 victory, limiting New York to a solo home run by Bill Skowron and another RBI by Richardson on a force-out. Yanks starter Ralph Terry pitched decently for six innings, but his seven-hit effort wasn't good enough as the Bucs bunched all three of their runs in the 5th and made them stand up.
Game 5
Once again, manager Casey Stengel baffled the baseball experts and started Art Ditmar, who pitched one scoreless inning and got knocked out in the 2nd by (guess who) Bill Mazeroski, who doubled in two runs. The Yankees responded with a single run in the bottom of the 2nd, promptly answered in the top of the 3rd by Roberto Clemente driving in Dick Groat. Harvey Haddix and Roy face held New York at bay from the 4th inning on for a 5-2 victory and a 3-2 Series lead, taking two of three games in Yankee Stadium.
Game 6
Stengel went with the sure thing this time, starting Ford who responded with another complete game shutout, 12-0. The 'Chairman of the Board' allowed just seven hits while Bucs starter Bob Friend gave up six runs in three innings. Five more Pirates relievers followed him to the mound, to no avail. Amazingly, no home runs were hit in the game, but Mantle, Berra, Skowron, and Richardson all drove in runs during the frenetic 3rd frame. Richardson tripled in the 7th inning and drove in his 12th run, setting a Series record and earning him the Most Valuable Player award.
Game 7
All the marbles were on the line. Pirates skipper Danny Murtaugh once again sent his ace Vern Law to the mound, and the Pirates rewarded him with two runs each in the bottom of the 1st and 2nd innings. But the gods of baseball weren't smiling on the Pirates – yet – as the Yankees stormed back with a run in the 5th and four more in the 6th inning to take the lead. They added two more in the top of the 8th for what seemed to be an insurmountable 7-4 lead.
Then fate stepped in. After Gino Cimoli singled, Bill Virdon hit a chopper at Tony Kubek that smacked him in the throat, leaving Virdon safe at second. Dick Groat also singled, and Clemente singled off reliever Jim Coates, scoring Virdon. Hal Smith came to the plate and promptly hit one out of the park, putting the Pirates back in the lead by a score of 9-7.
Ralph Terry was summoned to come in and stop the bleeding, which he did. New York backed him up with a wild top of the 9th when Richardson and Dale Long singled off Bucs reliever Bob Friend, who was promptly yanked for Harvey Haddix. Haddix didn't fare much better, allowing a hit to Mantle, scoring Richardson with run #8.
One batter later, Yogi Berra grounded out to first with pinch-runner Gil McDougald on third. Amazingly, Mantle - who had a good lead - avoided 1st baseman Rocky Nelson's tag with a sensational fake towards second, followed by a slide back to first base under Nelson's attempted tag. McDougald scored in the confusion, tying the game at 9-all. (You can see Mantle's slide in the Crosby kinescope.)
What happened afterwards is now legend. Ralph Terry was brought in to close out the ninth inning and the first pitch he threw to Bill Mazeroski was a ball. The second pitch, however, became history by landing somewhere in the trees across Schenley Drive.
The Wrap-Up
This incredible World Series ended with the Pirates being outscored two to one and out-hit 91 to 60. Stengel quipped that he lost his job after the Series for being 70 "and I'll never make that mistake again." When asked what pitch he threw to Mazeroski, Terry replied, "I don't know what pitch it was. All I know is that it was the wrong pitch."
Mazeroski was recently honored with a statue outside PNC Park, commemorating his home run trot with cap held high. Every year on October 13, Pirates fans gather at what's left of Forbes Field to celebrate and remember the anniversary of Game 7. A street (Roberto Clemente Drive) now runs through the outfield and a University of Pittsburgh academic building occupies the infield and grandstand area.
Still, you can find the marker in a nearby sidewalk that shows where Maz' blast left the park. Home plate sits securely under a Plexiglass cover in Wesley Posvar Hall, while a small piece of the outfield wall remains along the east side of Clemente Drive, with the flagpole as well.
As for Mazeroski's HR ball? According to a September 19 story in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, it was recovered by 14-year-old Andy Jerpe, who was escorted by police into the beer-drenched Pirates clubhouse to get signatures from Maz and Hal Smith. Amazingly, Jerpe later lost the ball playing a sandlot game with his friends the following spring. It was hit into tall weeds and grass and was never recovered after hours of searching.
A legendary end to a legendary World Series...
