Section Front E-mail This Story Printable Version Corporate Scandal Dust Still Settling NEW YORK, Dec 19, 2002 Scott Sullivan, WorldCom's former financial officer, is arrested (CBS/AP) "Corporate managers were not looking beneath the surface at how they were running their businesses. Financial gymnastics outweighed solid financial practices." Barry Barbash, former lawyer for the SEC (CBS/AP) (CBS/AP) (AP) Evidence of a tumultuous year in which the fabric of corporate America was being torn apart was best personified in the pictures of executives being led away in handcuffs while other business leaders were taking the Fifth Amendment. In time, though, they might better serve as reminders of the system's weaknesses and the need to mend them, lest the whole thing come unraveled again. "Hopefully, what will come out of all this will be some wariness, skepticism and vigilance," said Nancy Koehn, a financial historian at Harvard Business School. As details emerged about Enron, WorldCom and executives who got rich at the expense of employees and shareholders, devastation struck investors on Wall Street.

.. CrookDimwit .. Main February 28, 2002 Morons . It's nice to see that their web/corporate customer service is equally inept as it is face-to-face. Obviously, what I received was stock-reply #6 or #7.... I didn't file ANY tax return with them, thanks to the sheer ineptitude and incompetence of their operation. Indeed, that was my point . I came there interested in paying them for professional services, but they weren't capable of offering that. Furthermore, my message to them wasn't an "inquiry", but a complaint. I DID provide them with a phone number so that they might call me, but not an address, since I didn't want to get added to any mailing list. Finally, rather than acknowledging my dissatisfaction or apologizing for the bad experience at their office, they ask me to go back to their site and "resubmit" my complaint or call them. No thanks, jackasses if I'm going to spend any more time calling or submitting something to an accounting firm, it'll be to one of your competitors... Ok, enough of Citizen Matt for one day.

ARCHIVES Tuesday Apr. 08, 2003 Search Site Advanced Search SPORTS Preventing future NCAA problems By Alex Merritt Assistant Sports Editor September 12, 2002 The University of Alabama's athletics department has a mess on its hands, and it has been cleaning up for almost a year now. After the University reported rules violations by several boosters, the NCAA's punishment included a two-year bowl ban and the loss of scholarships among other things. The University initially suspended three guilty parties for a total of 22 years, but eventually disassociated them from Alabama for life because of the NCAA's suggestion to do so. "That [not suspending the boosters for life initially] was probably a mistake on our part," said athletics director Mal Moore of the decision. Currently, athletics department officials are fighting to have the bowl ban revoked, claiming that they did everything in their power to prevent these types of violations from happening. But there is a problem that exists on a much larger and less tangible scale that might be even more difficult to fight: What can be done to prevent this from happening again? The only internal change since the sanctions were levied was a directive issued by the NCAA Committee on Infractions. It asked that Alabama no longer allow boosters to watch practice unless it is open to the general public, a small answer to a much larger problem.

ARCHIVES Tuesday Apr. 08, 2003 Search Site Advanced Search SPORTS Gottfried stole my stash The Basketball Guy By Alex Merritt Assistant Sports Editor January 31, 2003 The Alabama basketball team has given me the shakes. Since basketball season started, I have spent at least two days each week in Coleman Coliseum, either watching the Crimson Tide practice or interviewing a player or coach. I talk to Alabama coach Mark Gottfried more than I talk to my parents. Basically, I've become a basketball team groupie minus the favors. I enjoy being "in the know," not to mention I need the meetings to gather information for any articles I might be writing that week. But on Monday, I was robbed of my fix. Upon entering the gymnasium, my pupils already dilating at the thought of alley-oops and three-pointers, I spotted a sign posted on a steel gate that read, "PRACTICE CLOSED THIS WEEK." Oh, I knew they were in there. I could hear them. Apparently, my basketball addictions are not taken into account when Gottfried is attempting to revive an Alabama squad that has lost three consecutive games. I tried sneaking a peek through the steel bars to no avail. I tried setting up interviews with players after the top-secret practices were over, only to be turned away.

Home Humor Sports Eclectica ... Mailing List Fire the Troll! By Evil Tony Fernandez Go straight to the Evil Ending More Dirt From Bear Headquarters What Could Be Next? With the victory at storied St. Andrews in the 2000 British Open, Tiger Woods has done something that only five men before him have done, win all of the Grand Slam golf events in a career. More astounding is the fact that Woods has done it all by the age of 24, by far the youngest person ever to do so. Woods himself was very low-key as usual, saying that he will continue to work on his game. Yes, work on a game that has made him the number 1 golfer in the world. This kind of drive we haven’t seen since a guy named Jordan. Woods wants to win every tournament, and has done so some 27% of very tournament he enters. Ordinarily, we would scoff at someone "hitting .270" but think about that. With all of the different courses, all of the good players and different weather conditions, this guy wins almost 30% of the time. It is remarkable! Now, at the "ripe old age" of 24, where do you go from here? Once you have reached the top of the mountain, what’s next? Yes, Michael Jordan won six titles, but he suffered through quite a few losing seasons and a number of playoff losses before his Bulls broke through. Bjorn Borg walked away from competitive tennis at the age of 27, because he was burned out. Many gymnasts peak at a very young age, and lose their focus once they have reached the pinnacle of their profession. Will this happen to Woods? It’s possible. He has been playing golf since he could walk and one doesn’t know how much guff his father has given Tiger over the years. However, Woods is older than a lot of young athletes and has been to college and away from his folks; maybe he won’t burn out too soon.

89. Tryout Information About half of our divers were high school divers. A large number weregymnasts in high school and make the change to diving in college. http://www.wellesley.edu/Athletics/facstaffbio/bdix/final/tryouts.htm

Wellesley College Swimming and Diving ~ Tryout Information ~ Try Outs Tryouts are any where from 1-3 weeks long. The begin around the middle of September. Generally around 20 swimmers and 4 divers make the team. Making the swimming team is based on: ability to make stroke changes when asked attitude potential for improvement speed swimming history (novice, high school vs year round). ~Swimmers are timed for a 50 and/or 100 of each stroke, a 100/200 IM, a 500 kick and a 1650. Each person is ranked in each event. Usually the top 4 in each event and the top 8 50-freestylers make the team. ~After selecting those swimmers the swimmers with the most room for improvement, those who can and will make stroke changes, and those displaying a great attitude are selected onto the team. ~Most swimmers were either high school swimmers or age group swimmers. Some are picking the sport back up after a year or two off. However, two swimmers made the team after taking my elementary swim class the fall before and working hard at it. Making the diving team is based on: ability to make changes when asked attitude potential for improvement body awareness in space diving history (novice, high school vs year round)
