| | Seattle dice addio ai Sonics | | 2008-07-04 03:08:55 | | La città dello stato di Washington trova l'accordo con il proprietario Clay Bennett per concedere il trasferimento della franchigia a Oklahoma City. Nelle casse comunali arrivano 75 milioni di dollari Alla fine ha vinto il proprietario della franchigia Clay Bennett. I Sonics, infatti, hanno raggiunto con accordo con la città di Seattle e ora sono liberi di trasferirsi a Oklahoma City a partire dall’inizio del prossimo campionato. Una conclusione probabilmente inevitabile, nonostante i ricorsi e l’azione legale intentata della città di Seattle, ma resa vana dalla transazione che getta nello sconforto i tantissimi tifosi del glorioso club nello Stato di Washington. La franchigia dovrà pagare alla città 75 milioni di dollari, lascerà a Seattle il nome Supersonics e i colori di una squadra che può vantare una storia lunga 41 anni, ma raggiunge così il suo scopo: abbandonare la vecchia e poco funzionale KeyArena per raggiungere una città, Oklahoma City entusiasta di poter final | | By: Matteo Bollini Head Coach | | |

| | Failed Seattle Mariners GM Fired | | 2008-06-16 16:33:58 | | The Mariners, who have far and away the worst record in the league (24-45), fired General Manager Bill Bavasi today. The Mariners management have made the worst decisions of any other team the past five years, and it looks like this decision came a few years too late.

| | Seattle homeless, advocates camp out in protest | | 2008-06-09 16:20:28 | | OK, it's bad enough that since April, when Mayor Nichols signed the order, homeless encampments can be broken up with 72 hours' notice. Homeless people are offered "help" and their belongings are stored for 60 days. BUT if you are kicked out of one camp and move to another, no 72 hour grace period for you, and this time your belongings go in the trash.That's just one of the reasons why 150 homeless people and their allies camped out at the City Hall Plaza last night. Seattle may have 1,000 beds for homeless single people, but another 100-300 homeless people are camped out in the city and its surroundings. The Mayor says he plans to provide another 20 beds-- better than nothing, but far from enough.Last night, Women in Black read the names of 283 homeless people who have died outside since 2000.This morning, fifteen people were arrested for pitching a tent in the middle of Cherry St., demanding an end to business as usual.You can go to Real Change, a community newspaper which also | | By: Michaelann Land | | |
| | Monday, Monday...An Off Day For The Red Sox After A Clutch Win Against Seattle... Boston 2 Mariners 1...And A Yankees' Loss | | 2008-06-09 04:19:00 | | Looking back on Sunday afternoon at emerald-green Fenway Park, I smile. Justin Masterson, who yesterday became the FIRST PITCHER in the history of the 96 year old park to go unbeaten in his first four appearances, was great. Way to go, Justin! After losing "the feel" for his pitches in the second inning when he walked the first two men, he was saved by an over the shoulder catch in right by co-player of the game JD Drew. He settled down completely after that second frame and pitched six full innings, giving up only one run on three lonely hits. He also walked three and struck out four Seattle batters. All in all, a great history-making performance by the talented Masterson...we'll see more of him and his somewhat quirky delivery often. Here's what manager Tito Francona had to say after the game...“I hope the story continues - we’re still fairly early into the season and I imagine every time he picks up the ball the organization’s got their chest out a little, as they should,” | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |

| | Seattle Knuckles Under To Wakefield and Boston...Red Sox 11 Mariners 3 | | 2008-06-08 04:59:00 | | Knuckleballer Tim Wakefield led his Boston Red Sox team to a resounding 11-3 stomping of the Seattle Mariners, and he was flat out brilliant. At one point he retired 12 Mariners in a row. He allowed five hits, but only three of them were longer than 25 feet. Wakes said he was staying back longer during his delivery, and that helps his control as his knuckleballs dart and zoom and dance THROUGH the strike zone. One of his strikeouts victims was Kenji Johjima, and the pitch was eerily reminicent of the famous "eephus" pitch, a pitch thrown so slowly it almost looks like a slo-mo instant reply. The pitch was beautifully slow and the whiff was real. Wakes went seven innings, and the bullpen polished off the west coasters. Craig Hansen continued to show a biting slider and a good fastball and breezed through the eighth. Jonathon Papelbon, summoned to pitch the ninth just to give him some work, allowed one run during a 23 pitch ninth. And then, suddenly, it was over and almost time to watch | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |
| | Felix Hernandez Shuts Down Boston Red Sox Offense...Seattle 8 Boston 0 | | 2008-06-07 04:21:00 | | Chalk up Friday night's Boston Red Sox loss to the Seattle Mariners, an 8-0 whitewashing, to superior pitching, and that pitching was authored by Felix Hernandez, who ALWAYS pitches well at Fenway Park. Last night, he went six innings and gave up only six hits. The Mariners' bullpen took over from there and made that shutout official. Here's what he, his manager and one of his opponents had to say after the game...“Felix stepped up and has been pretty good in Fenway Park,” Mariners manager John McLaren said.“It was important for me, important for the team. I was trying to keep the lead,” said Hernandez, who won for the second time in as many starts after going seven starts without a win. "He did a great job of keeping us off base, and really not letting us get anything together and when we did have something going, he made some pitches when he had to,” Casey said.Peter here.

| | Bedard Bests Wakefield, Red Sox...Seattle 1 Boston 0...RED SOX DVD SET DETAILS | | 2008-05-29 04:37:00 | | The Boston Red Sox hitting woes continued Wednesday night at Safeco Field in Seattle as the Erik Bedard fueled Seattle Mariners defeated the hitless wonders, that baseball team from Boston, by a score of 1-0. The Sox collected two hits, if you want me to be precise, but two hits were clearly not enough. And all this came on a night when the "old man," knuckleballer Tim Wakefield, spun an 8 inning beauty, allowing only five base hits and one run while walking none. His only mistake was a home run ball to Yuniesky Betancourt in the third inning. Wakes had this to say after the stinging road defeat...“I made some adjustments from my last start and they paid off, but unfortunately, I came out on the short end of the stick,” Wakefield said."Manny Ramirez, looking for career home run #500, went 1-3 with a single, which was one of the two Red Sox hits in the game. Clearly the Red Sox hitting has taken a turn southward, WAY southward (at this rate, they'll end up in Cuba!), but after four | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |
| | Tough Stuff : Matsuzaka Hurt In Red Sox Loss...Seattle 4 Boston 3 | | 2008-05-28 04:47:00 | | Tuesday night did not go as smoothly as the night before for the Boston Red Sox. They lost to the Mariners by a score of 4-3. Seattle scored a run in the bottom of the ninth off Mike Timlin, who should retire by the All Star break. His dismal record at Safeco Field was the reason I was surprised that he was in there in the first place, but Papelbon had pitched the day before and Okajima had thrown a sixteen pitch eighth. Why Tito Francona couldn't have run Okie out for the ninth is beyond me, and we all know now that the skipper might have blown the game. More bad news had preceded that fateful ninth, for Daisuke Matsuzaka had to leave after four innings and 65 pitches with what was preliminarily deemed "a tired shoulder." I do not like the sound of that...not one bit! Here is what he and his skipper had to say after the game..."He felt some, I guess, fatigue is the right word," manager Terry Francona said.

Howard Schulz, presidente del Gruppo Starbucks, è infatti intenzionato a portare in tribunale gli attuali proprietari dei Seattle SuperSonics per violazione dei termini dell'accordo di cessione della franchigia.A farlo sapere è stato il legale di Schulz, spiegando che il massimo dirigente di Starbucks aveva venduto la società alla cordata guidata da Clay Bennett ottenendo dagli acquirenti la promessa di "tenere la squadra a Seattle" e di lavorare a questo scopo "in buona fede": "Non cercherà un risarcimento in denaro", ha detto l'avvocato al quotidiano Seattle Times, "si tratta di farsi restituire la squadra". Bennett da tempo sta lavorando per portare i Sonics ad Oklahoma City a partire dalla prossima stagione.

But the Emerald City was the third-fastest-growing U.S. investment hub of the past 10 years, according to a report by PricewaterhouseCoopers and the National Venture Capital Association.The study, known as the MoneyTree Report, indicated local startups raised some $1.25 billion in 2007, up 211 percent since 1997.Two other areas, New Mexico and Pittsburgh, showed even faster growth over the decade, but the level of investment they attract is far smaller than Seattle's."It's growing along nicely," said Chad Waite, a director with Kirkland-based OVP Venture Partners.

| | Two suspects arrested in slayings of six people near Seattle | | 2007-12-27 07:01:39 | | SEATTLE — King County sheriff's investigators have arrested two suspects in connection with the slayings of six people in a rural Carnation home Wednesday morning. The man and the woman haven't been identified, but are described as being in their late 20s or early 30s. Charges are expected to be filed at the end of the week, said sheriff's spokesman John Urquhart. "I'm not sure what the relationship is between the victims and the suspects," Urquhart said. "We now have to process the scene." Detectives are investigating the deaths as homicides near this town about 21 miles from Seattle. Murder-suicide in the Christmas Eve deaths has been ruled out, the King County Sheriff's Office said.

| | | I Just Have To Blog About The Student Housing In Seattle | | 2007-11-27 05:34:23 | | Ahh. . . Seattle. A place where Ive been once but I think of it as my hometown. For real! I was able to live in Seattle for quite sometime in the past when I was still in the beautiful country of the United States and I have to tell you, the city is incomparable to any other in the world.When I was there, I was with my relatives who are now permanently living the the United States perhaps because they felt like it was home for them. (I decided to come back because of my girl friend. Yes, I confess im a hopeless romantic.lol) Anyways, before this post gets to be my autobiography, let me tell you about the student housing in seattle. It has been, in my opinion, the best place to live in the United States when I was there because seattle apartments had something that I never found anywhere else in the states or even here in asia. The sense of belongingness and the climate was like heaven for my body to adapt very quickly to.I should say that it is one of the best places to live here in on | | By: Agloco-Pilipinas | | |

| | Seattle Must Not Care About Children Either | | 2007-10-11 07:00:00 | | Ever since President Bush's veto of a bill that would have increased SCHIP funding at the expense of a cigarette tax hike, the supporters of the bill have predictably come forth with the "You don't care about the children" line. Continuing that logic, I guess the citizens of Seattle, home to a city that voted over two-thirds for John Kerry in the 2004 election, don't care about children either because back in 2003, they rejected by a 2-1 margin a measure that would have raised taxes on coffee to fund early childhood education programs in the city. From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:Across Seattle, Initiative 77 left voters facing a difficult proposition: Should latte drinkers pony up an extra dime a cup to pay for child care and preschool programs?The tax, formally known as the Early Learning and Care Campaign, would have raised money for preschool programs and continuing education for teachers.For Seattle coffee drinkers, it would have meant an extra 10 cents on any cappuccino, latte, iced drink or Americano sold at a cafe, restaurant or coffee stand.Early on, the measure was criticized by opponents, many from the coffee and restaurant industry. They labeled it as an unfair and regressive tax on their product.Supporters said the money was desperately needed to ensure children are prepared and ready to learn when they walk through the doors of kindergarten.So were the people of Seattle demonstrating a lack of concern for the welfare of children when they voted against a tax on coffee that would have paid for greater access to early childhood education? Fast-forward to 2007 where President Bush has said no to a plan to raise a tax on a single arbitrary product (cigarettes this time, not coffee) to pay for greater access for children's health care, and he is labeled heartless. So either the people of Seattle and the President don't care about kids, or the voters and politicians think it's okay to go after one arbitrary group - smokers--but not another arbitrary group -- coffee drinkers.The fact of the matter is that only if cigarette taxes are too low due to the negative externality they impose on society should they ever be increased. Cigarettes or any other arbitrarily chosen product (like coffee) should never have its tax increased merely because someone wants to fund a program that supposedly provides broad public benefits. Such programs should be funded via a broad-based tax increase like that on sales or income. | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |

| | | | | | 'This One's For John' -- A Title Remembered 10-Years Later -- Week 2 -- Seattle Seahawks | | 2007-09-21 20:06:18 | | It's been 10 years since John Elway and the 1997 Denver Broncos win that elusive Super Bowl Title. In celebration of that acheivement, we'll go week by week through the 1997 season and remember the wins and losses, the highs and lows, the good and the bad of a Super Bowl Championship season. Today, we look back to 9/7/97, Week 2 of the 1997 season when the Broncos travelled to the Great Northwest to face the 0-1 Seattle Seahawks. Seattle was still a member of the AFC West back then, and the 'Hawks and Broncos had developed into quite a rivalry. The Kingdome was never a fun place to play, and the 'Hawks weren't in a very good mood after getting crushed by the New York Jets 41-3 a week earlier. It mattered little, with the Broncos dominating from the start in a 35-14 road win. Below are all the details of the Broncos 2nd win of 1997.The Denver Broncos claim they didn't create a game plan specifically designed to exploit Seattle Seahawks rookie cornerback Sh | | By: Mile High Report | | |
| | Ron Paul's Seattle Visit | | 2007-09-18 04:43:55 | | I've been listening to politicians answer questions for a long time. The talented ones have developed the ability to respond to any query by steering back to their memorized talking points, designed to (a) tout their strength on an issue (usually with a liberal sprinkling of emotive words like "honor", "family", "strength", etc.), and/or (b) smooth over any apparent contradiction between their past history and the position they believe the bulk of the electorate is presently in the mood for. The unfailing pattern is one where the length of answers exceeds their substance by a margin of at least 5 to 1, and notes are struck which are eerily similar to the ones heard in car dealerships whenever a customer wavers over the optional undercoating.Ron Paul does something most politicians do not. He actually answers the questions he's asked. Directly. Openly. He doesn't use every question as a springboard to wax poetic about his record, his faith, or his family upbringing. He talks in real, substantive terms about ideas, philosophy, ethics, and the proper role and action of government. If he makes an assertion, he backs it up with factual examples and rigorous analysis. When discussing policy he addresses not only the seen but also the unseen effects.I don't know anyone who is accustomed to hearing answers of this sort from a candidate for office. I confess it's beyond my capacity to imagine a meaningful conversation with any of the usual suspects. I don't think I could tolerate them for two whole minutes.Speaking with Dr. Paul on the other hand was an exhilarating experience. No bromides. No insipid pandering. No self-aggrandizement. It's more than refreshing, it's inspiring. And it's inspiring a lot of people.As I sat in the audience at the Westin Hotel awaiting Paul's speech at the main rally, I was struck by an observation that many others have made before. Scanning the faces of the thousand or so supporters attending, I noticed an astonishing assortment of people. From the most conservative, sweater-vested seniors you'd see at an Elks Lodge or VFW Hall, to young alternative-types with tattoos and piercings, and absolutely everything in between; it seemed that every race and every demographic was represented. Wealthy and upper-middle class families sat beside blue-collar laborers and bohemian musicians. It was truly remarkable.The diversity of Paul's support has never been a secret, but it's one thing to know it and another thing to witness it in person. I thought of George Bush's "I'm a uniter" baloney, and of how genuine it is in Paul's case. You don't see turnout like that for Hillary, or Giuliani, or Romney, or even Obama. The coalition of support for Dr. Paul is unprecedented in modern political history. I guess freedom and honesty are popular again.Andrew Sullivan probably put it best: "It's amazing the difference when you actually believe in something other than acquiring and holding power." | | By: Republican Renaissance | | |
| | Local Seattle Residents Hit by Rental Car Tax That Was Sold as a Tax on Non-Residents | | 2007-09-07 07:00:00 | | There's one type of tax competition that every state and local lawmaker seems to relish: Who can enact taxes that collect the most from non-residents? After all, non-residents don't vote.Rental car taxes are among the favorites in this category, especially locations near the airport. Locals are told not to worry: people from out of state will pay the lion's share of these rental car taxes, and we'll get the government services.But once the tax is enacted, all that talk about the in-state advantage vanishes. Washington state and King County have just dealt a body blow to the eco-friendly Seattle FlexCar company whose members are local residents sharing cars by the hour.From the Seattle Times:For the average FlexCar member, [the rental car tax] will add about a dollar to an hourly $10 charge when FlexCar must begin to collect the 9.7 percent state and King County car-rental tax in October.

| | STILL Winless In Seattle | | 2007-08-04 12:08:00 | | July 21, 2006, more than a year ago. That was the date of the last Boston Red Sox victory at the Mariner's Safeco field. And Friday night, nothing changed, as a mediocre Jon Lester, pitching for his family and hometown friends, and a terrible Mike Timlin squandered a 3-0 Sox lead, a lead that should have been much bigger, and the Mariners won this frustrating contest by a score of 7-4. Lester pitched five tortured innings, throwing 99 pitches and giving up 4 runs on 8 hits with a couple walks mixed in. This kind of performance will not win many games for Lester, and his economy of pitches must improve for him to be a force this year, or ANY year. Coupled with another Yankee win over the Royals, the lead is again down to 7 games, with Daisuke Matsuzaka going against the Mariner's lefty Jarrod Washburn. It's time to break this winless streak. Tonight. No if's, and's or but's. Just victory. TONIGHT!!!! The Sox banged out 12 hits, but it wasn't to be. And Mike Timlin just couldn' | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |

| | Liberal Media Perpetuates Ignorance about the Seattle School District’s Supreme Court Case | | 2007-06-30 20:28:00 | | This is the first follow-up editorial I have written since we started this blog. I usually like to provide a diverse group of topics for our audience, but this had to be done. Many of you who read my previous post, Supreme Court Strikes Down Seattle School District's Racial Balancing, no doubt understand my anger. Being an expert about the Seattle School District case, the recent misinformation that has taken place on television, in newspapers, and on blogs, is enough to make me want to vomit. I will not rehash every point I made in my previous post, but I will cite several examples in the media where inaccuracies clearly could have been corrected. This list is not exclusive: The Huffinton Post’s heading: Supreme Court Rules Schools Must Ignore Race In Diversity Plans, is objectively incorrect. Justice Kennedy’s Concurrence made sure that race may still be used as a factor in some circumstances. Moreover, if Race could no longer be used, then that would likely outlaw af | | By: Copious Dissent - Your Daily Dose of Liberty | | |
| | Supreme Court Strikes Down Seattle School District's Racial Balancing | | 2007-06-28 23:45:00 | | Today, the Supreme Court struck down the Seattle School District’s, “open choice” assignment plan, which used race as a tiebreaker in assigning students to “racially imbalanced” high schools. The Court correctly determined that the plan violated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. The analysis I provide below is intended to educate you about the real issues involved in this case. The mainstream media neglects to provide you with thorough information and simply talks about the Right vs. Left Supreme Court. Therefore, I advise you to compare my breakdown of the current Supreme Court holding to any mainstream media outlet and discover why you should come to us first to read informed judicial editorials. Notably, anyone who read the dissenting opinion in the 9th Circuit, the record on appeal, or actually heard the Supreme Court oral arguments could have told you that the plan would be struck down several months ago.

| | Winless In Seattle | | 2007-06-27 12:50:00 | | Sometimes I have to think really hard to remember the last time the Boston Red Sox emerged victorious from a game at Seattle's Safeco Field. They've lost their last seven games there. Last night was more of the same as Kason Gabbard was wild at first and rocked later. In only 3 1/3 innings he gave up 6 (!!) walks and 4 runs on 6 hits. Back to the minors? We have to hope that will be the case, but until Schill is ALLOWED to return, we might be in store for another one or two Gabbard starts. Last night, the Sox never gave up, coming back from deficits of 4-1 and 6-4 to tie each time. But Javy Lopez, pitching in the 6th inning, gave up a two run home run to Richie Sexon, and those were the winning runs. It was the first tater given up this year by the Sox leftie. He picked a bad time for it. Way bad!So the Red Sox will try one more time to beat the Mariners on their own field, sending out Daisuke Matsuzaka to face Ryan Feierabend.
