Rick Wagoner steps down as GM’s chief executive, Fritz Henderson takes hi
2009-03-30 19:00:00 Yesterday, GM’s chief executive Rick Wagoner has announced that he will resign his position at the company, at the White House’s request. But that’s not all, because the Obama administration has also announced that GM and Chrysler won’t be getting any more bailout money and told them to come up with new plans or risk insolvency. Wagoner, which has been GM’s top executive since 2000, said: “On Friday I was in Washington for a meeting with Administration officials. In the course of that meeting, they requested that I ‘step aside’ as CEO of GM, and so I have.” His position will be taken by Fritz Henderson, 50, which has been with GM since 1984, and held the positions of head of GM Europe and then the company’s chief financial officer until today. And that’s not the only change at the top, because it looks like a lot more executive are scheduled to be replaced from their positions in the future. According to Financial Times, this decisio...

Book Excerpt Journey Toward Justice Author Dennis Fritz One Day Before Free
2008-02-18 17:56:00 One day before freedom:I got back up in my bunk and pondered the many questions that plagued my mind. When I awoke to the jangle of keys in the door, I realized that I must have dozed off for a while. The guard said that there were some people there to see me. I followed him to the visiting room.As I turned to enter, I saw a beautiful young woman standing in front of me. In a split second, I realized that this radiant woman with the beautiful smile was Elizabeth. My blessed mother was standing by her side. An uncontrollable feeling welled up in my chest and I began to cry. In that very same visiting room years earlier I had last seen Elizabeth as a young girl.Now she was grown up. She looked so much like her mother. We stood for a moment, uncertain about what to do as we stared at each other, our faces quivering with emotion. Then we lunged into each other?s arms, embracing each other with every ounce of emotion that had been locked away inside us for the past twelve years. With our...

2008-01-11 03:19:00 In an interview published in yesterday?s Jackson Free Press, Grisham says he met many wrongfully convicted people while researching the book, and ?it doesn?t take too many conversations with men who are imprisoned and will probably never get out, who are innocent, to kind of flip you, to make you suddenly aware of this problem. That?s what happened to me.?It was Ron Williamson?s obituary in the Dec. 9, 2004, issue of The New York Times that caught attorney and author John Grisham?s eye.?It had all the elements of a novel,? Grisham said in an interview with the Jackson Free Press. ?The small town Southern feel to it; the small town sport hero going off to make his mark in the major leagues and failing; a grizzly murder; a wrongful conviction; a trip to death row; insanity; a near execution; exoneration; the eventual conviction of the real killer; a lawsuit to recover damages.

Spare Ribs and Cabernet Sauvignon
2007-11-16 16:10:00 The wine was a 2004 Fritz Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine came in a club shipment, cost us $28 minus a club discount, clocked in at 14.2%, and had a real cork closure.On the nose I found raisins, cherry, spices, and oak. I also noted some earthy undertones. In the mouth I found berries and a bit of cherry. The wine was tannic and didn't seem ready to drink. I'd hold onto this one if you have any.I served this with BBQ spare ribs, corn, and rice pilaf when my folks were here visiting. I think the wine would have been a really good match with the dinner had I let it decant for a few hours or saved the bottle for a couple more years.

Lurking in the Cellar
2007-09-24 13:38:00 (Okay, that sounds a bit ominous.)I found this bottle of 2005 Fritz Chardonnay hiding in our basement when Matt and I were reorganizing the wine last weekend. A surprise to me, as I thought I had written up all the white wines in my collection.The wine had a real cork closure, clocked in at 14.2% alcohol by volume, and cost us $20 in a club shipment.On the nose I found lemon, oak, butter, vanilla cream, and apple. In the mouth I found the wine to be buttery and oaky. Additionally, I got lemons, peach and more oak in the mouth. Overall, this was an oaky, buttery Chardonnay. It wasn't flabby or anything, but I was overwhelmed by the butter and oak. It's just NMS.
