Trembley Enjoys Driver's Seat
Long before he settled into his office at Fort Lauderdale Stadium, Dave Trembley received a distinct reminder that this spring will be unlike any other. "I went to the airport yesterday to pick up my rental," he said Wednesday. "I'm used to getting a little matchbox car." He drove away in a huge Cadillac, one of the many fringe benefits of being manager of the Baltimore Orioles. After spending 20 years as a minor league manager, Trembley finally made it to the big leagues last spring as Baltimore's bullpen coach. Then, on June 18, he became interim manager after the Orioles fired Sam Perlozzo. Trembley had the interim tag removed in August and will begin his first spring training camp as a big league manager Thursday. He spent much of the offseason preparing for the assignment, and already has Day 1 mapped out to the minute.
Rain muddies plans for Rays pitchers' work
PERCIVAL IMPRESSES: Closer Troy Percival, pitching what he said was his first spring training game in three years, made quick work of the Phillies in the fourth. The 38-year-old right-hander got his first out on one pitch, a popout to third, then struck out Wes Helms. He retired Coste on a pop to shallow right. Though Percival said that "after 700-plus appearances, I don't get too excited for a spring game," he was pleased with how he felt, physically. Said Percival, "My health is as good as it's been in years." OPPOSITES ATTRACT: When 2B Akinori Iwamura smacked RHP Adam Eaton's second pitch over the fence in leftfield, it set the tone for the Rays attacking the opposite field. 1B Carlos Pena homered to left-center. Even RF Jonny Gomes went the other way with a first-inning double to right-center.
These Loans Were Made for Walking: The End of the Subprime Crisis
Paul and Minneapolis alone will spend on this, they could rebuild that bridge that collapsed last summer…and then some. The saddest thing is that nobody has mentioned the only thing that will provide a long term cure…heavy regulation of the banking and real estate industries. Any other alleged solution will only make the problem worse. Banking deregulation caused the savings and loan debacle of the Bush 41 administration. The solution to that was ever increasing bank deregulation, thereby creating the current "crisis" that is far worse than the savings and loan debacle. The next crisis 10 years from now will be even worse than this one unless industry is re-regulated. .
Program's costs balloon as firms recruit clients
We have community fairs, friends and family days, and we do present our services to the whole entire community," Hopkins said of the company he started in 2001. "It's called community support, and we want the community to be aware." State officials now say that some clients of Hopkins' company -- and others like it -- don't need mental-health services. The state wants companies that broke the rules to pay back $59 million; it has demanded that Dominion repay $1.5 million. It's trying to stop the company from billing Medicaid, the federal health insurance program for the poor and disabled. Community support is a new service, born in 2006 as the state sought to move treatment out of government offices and into people's homes, schools, community centers -- places where they live.
