According to Spinner.com if you have the money you could have The Eagles perform at your next event.  The price?  Just a mere $7.8 million.   Even Sir Paul McCartney is cheaper than that.  You’ll only need around $1 million to have the ex-Beatle perform at your next party.

An MSC Napoli container ship washed up BMW motorcycles, gearboxes and windscreens on the Branscombe Beach in East Devon.  People were using anything they could to pull the parts off the shore. The beach had to be shut by police after the roads leading to it became full of looters who came to Devon from all over Britain hoping to grab some parts for themselves.  The most valuable taken, BMW motorcycles which were wheeled straight off the beach.

It turns out all the parts can legally be kept by their finders as long as they file forms declaring their salvage to Sophia Exelby, the Receiver of Wreck.  BMW’s insurers have written off the loss because it would be too difficult to try to collect all the parts and check them for seawater or other damage.  BMW has offered to buy back the motorcycles for a salvage fee and is still negotiating with those who declared them.  They are worried the bikes may be unsafe and want to buy them back so they can destroy them. 

“BMW have issued a statement to all finders pointing out that these parts are listed as damaged on the BMW parts database and should not be used or sold and that liability for them now rests with the finders. “At present, we do not have any plans for prosecutions in relation to Napoli recoveries.”

So this man has been my all time favorite player in baseball for as long as I can remember. I remember watching him as a kid and trying to mimic every one of his moves. As a catcher myself there was no one better in the game of baseball than Joe Girardi.

As of yesterday, reports are saying the Joe Girardi has been offered the head manger position for the New York Yankees. Reports state that no answer has been given yet by Girardi, but after review of the contract and talking with his agent an answer will be given in the near future.

I’m not in any sort of a fashion a Yankees fan, but with Girardi as the manager I soon will be……Especially if A-Rod is no longer with them.

The latest edition of Wired has a profile of Shannen Rossmiller, a woman in Montana who gets up before dawn to monitor terrorist web sites in search of those who want to destroy America.

From the Wired article Behind Enemy Lines With a Suburban Counterterrorist:

“She has passed along numerous case files to federal authorities. Her information has led US forces abroad to locate Taliban cells in Afghanistan, discover a renegade stinger-missile merchant in Pakistan, and help another foreign government identify a ring of potential suicide bombers. She has also assisted in nabbing two domestic would-be terrorists and seen them both convicted of felonies: National guardsman Ryan Anderson received five concurrent life sentences, and Michael Reynolds, convicted in July and awaiting sentencing, faces a similar fate. Timothy Fuhrman, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Salt Lake City office, says Rossmiller was ‘instrumental in the successful outcome of those cases.’”
