QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 22, 2006 -> 01:59 PM) There's a lot more companies then just this one that have Arab influences and ownership. The only reason that this one got any attention is because there's anti-competetive lawsuits that were recently filed. As soon as someone got ahold of that, the 'connect the dots' was played into UAE is taking over our (six) ports. Ownership and operation are two totally different things. OK. It's still a pretty big deal. And he didn't know.

Sorry if it's been asked.. but.. how did he not know about something this big..? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11494815/ Bush unaware of port deal until after approval White House: President only learned recently of handover to Arab firm MSNBC staff and news service reports Updated: 1:29 p.m. ET Feb. 22, 2006 WASHINGTON - President Bush was unaware of the pending sale of shipping operations at six major U.S. seaports to a state-owned business in the United Arab Emirates until the deal already had been approved by his administration, the White House said Wednesday. I got the impression from his press comments that he did know about it.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 22, 2006 -> 12:45 PM) He should beg for her sweet ass back. But if not, yeah he should take 50 percent. LMAO.. I think they will end up back together. Once she get rid of her creepy father.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Feb 22, 2006 -> 12:32 PM) So without her, he'd have had no career. But without him, neither would she. Uh hu. OK.. let me try this again.. They should split the marital assets 50/50 and move on.

7th to the 14th

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 22, 2006 -> 12:18 PM) Well, I would say 99 percent of her endorsements came after the show Newlyweds aired. Her record sales went up after the fact as well. Yea... I said that.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Feb 22, 2006 -> 12:00 PM) If it wasn't for his marriage, neither would she. He brought her stupidity to the public eye... however I don't think he would have sold much lip gloss or high heel shoes. No.. I don't think, I'm sure of it. Without her he'd still be playing shopping malls. She did 150% more for that marriage financially.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Feb 22, 2006 -> 10:20 AM) So you think he's bulls***ting and never really got any s*** because of the color of his skin? Nope. And I didn't mean to imply such. Specific to this incident alone. I don't know anything about his prevous struggles.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Feb 22, 2006 -> 10:15 AM) Sadly, since they are American athletes that is doubtful to ever happen. We have to make sure that the rest of the world continues to hate us after acting like morons at the Olympics (see also the snowboarder and her celebrating b4 the finish line). Did you see her father's face...?? I thought he was going to have a stroke. When did the Olympics stop being an honor to these jerks?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Feb 22, 2006 -> 10:13 AM) I agree that both of them should of kept this to themselves. Its kind of stupid to have them fighting openly right after the medal ceremony. I am almost to the point where we lock them into a room, let them beat the s*** out of each other, then let them come out. Maybe after they get their frustrations out they can start acting like adults. It's stupid and embarrassing. Like the US needs anymore bulls***.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Feb 22, 2006 -> 10:01 AM) Actually according to Shani and some of the people he trains with last night on the news he told them 2 months ago he wasnt competing in the team event due to how close it was to his best event the 1000m. If that is true the Hendrick is full of s***. These were the people at the Evanston skate club who were saying this. Take it for what its worth. It was all over the place he wasn't going to do it before they left... then at the opening ceremonies he said he was, then he wasn't, then he was... bla, bla, bla, yadda, yadda, yadda... The point is there was stupid drama when there shouldn't have been. Both are to blame.. but I think Davis is being a bit more childish about it. He keeps acting like an idiot and bringing s*** up. Hendrick responding last night was stupid... but Davis made the comment so he had the right to.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Feb 22, 2006 -> 09:53 AM) She doesn't want him to have even that. He may be asking for this to get the half he deserves. She doesn't have a choice of the distribution in California. It's 50/50 of earnings during the time of the marriage. He should take that and run. He didn't "earn" most of that $$.

Poor him.. any minute I'm sure we'll get the oppressed black man story. He's probably still pissed at Bryant for his "racist" comments.. :rolly The guy is on a team... if he decides to back out of an event he should have had the deciency to tell them sooner then 5 minutes before the event.

QUOTE(mreye @ Feb 22, 2006 -> 09:27 AM) So, does the roll go over the top or around the back? Over.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060222/od_nm/...DRpBHNlYwM3NTc- Man charged in killing over toilet paper 22 minutes ago MIAMI (Reuters) - A Florida man has confessed to bludgeoning his roommate to death with a sledgehammer handle and a claw hammer after an argument that started over an empty roll of toilet paper, authorities said Tuesday. Franklin Paul Crow, 56, was arrested early Monday and later charged with murder in the beating death of 58-year-old Kenneth Matthews in the small town of Moss Bluff, according to the Marion County Sheriff's Office. Capt. Jimmy Pogue said Crow told investigators he grabbed the sledgehammer and claw hammer after Matthews, who rented the mobile home where the two lived, armed himself with a rifle during their altercation. He later confessed to using the work tools to strike Matthews, who was so badly beaten he had to be identified through fingerprints, about 10 times, Pogue said. "There were only two people there, Mr. Crow and Mr. Matthews, and unfortunately Mr. Matthews is deceased, so we pretty much just have to go by what Mr. Crow says," Pogue said. "He says that the argument started over an empty roll of toilet paper." Crow was being held in the Marion County jail without bond. His court-appointed lawyer could not be reached for immediate comment.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 09:26 PM) Normal people? This is Nick Lachey! Yep. A no talent "entertainer" who will make a cool $25 million for screwing one of the hottest, and stupidest, females on the planet for the past 3 years. Poor him.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 07:26 PM) I don't see what the big deal is. I guess we need to keep the double standard in place? And what double standard would that be..? He should get half the marital assets, absolutely. They were married for 3 years.. And he wants alimony..? Normal people married 3 years split the assets and move on.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 07:39 PM) He should get half! I'm gonna start a chant! Pay Nick Lachey! Yes.. he should get half the earnings from the marriage. Which is estimated at $50 million.. Pay him definitely because without him making fun of her the Newleyweds would not have been. But alimony...? GMAFB.

http://www.nypost.com/entertainment/60194.htm SHE WANTS PRENUP! By MACKENZIE DAWSON PARKS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- February 21, 2006 -- 'IF you ain't no punk, holla 'We want prenup! We want prenup!'" was the battlecry of Kanye West's hit "Golddigger." Who knew he'd be talking about Jessica Simpson? Yes, it was Nick Lachey going where few men have gone before last weekend - announcing that he reserved the right to seek spousal support. In a word, malimony. Oh, Nick. You did NOT just do that.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 11:31 AM) C'mon man ... you can't insult murderers by calling them 'thugs'. It's so totally politically incorrect. You're right.. thugs is way too nice of a word.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 11:19 AM) Yeah, but then you have to go out on the offensive about my attitude. I was simply pointing out that your correction of my post was incorrect. Sometimes people are wrong. Its really ok. Dont assume someone is attacking you, or has a bug in their ass just because they correct you. Don't assume.. words to live by.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 11:12 AM) Is it really that hard to admit that you were wrong about something? No.. did I not state where I got the wrong info..?

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 10:33 AM) The state didn't decide to kill this s***bag. A jury of his peers did. IIRC.. a jury recommends.. the judge orders.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 10:55 AM) so, the correct answer would have been she is part italian. Of course that would be if what you said is correct, which its not. http://www.jamielynnsigler.com/ Jamie was born in Long Island, New York, the third child of Connie and Steve Sigler. She's not Italian, contrary to her on-screen image. In fact, she's Cuban, Jewish-American, and Greek. I'm no JLS expert so I just assumed Headliners and Legends, who claim her mother is Calabrese, was correct. Pretty big bug up the rear I see..
