With over twenty miles of wide sandy beach, wall-to-wall motels, and inviting aquamarine water, Daytona is the ultimate beach town and one of the biggest draws in Florida. Over the years it has earned a reputation as a party town, thanks to the decadent weeklong bacchanal known as Spring Break, when half-a-million college students descend on Daytona. In recent years... the city has gone to great lengths to suppress this annual ritual. Daytona's other big draw is auto racing. The Daytona International Speedway hosts a number of high-profile racing events, most notably the world-famous Daytona 500 in February. Motorsports fans can visit the impressive Daytona USA, which is a $20 million dollar racing museum featuring celebrated racecars and interactive displays. - Seattle Mariners
The Seattle Mariners are a Major League Baseball team based in Seattle, Washington. They are in the Western Division of the American League. On April 6, 1977, Major League Baseball returned to Seattle when the Mariners played the California Angels before a Kingdome crowd of 57,762. The Mariners opened a new chapter in club history when they played in the new open air ballpark Safeco Field on July 15, 1999. - Jody Watley -- Records
In 1990, Watley released a million-selling home video, Dance To Fitness, a first for a black woman. Jody continued to be visible appearing in ad campaigns for GAP, and fashion layouts in such high profile magazines as Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Rolling Stone, and Essence. Jody Watley was ... named one of People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People of 1990. That year Watley broadened her musical horizons by contributing a jazzy rendition of "After You Who" (on which she also played piano) to Red, Hot, & Blue, an AIDS-awareness charity recording by contemporary stars singing Cole Porter. The following year, Jody married long time producer André Cymone. - Jessica Canseco -- Cars
Canseco says he’s learned not to worry about the burdens of his colorful past: the speeding tickets and the arrest for carrying a handgun in his car, against California law. The time he ran first wife Esther’s car off the road. The time New York paparazzi caught him leaving Madonna’s apartment. - Arliss Howard -- Robert Wuhl
While Arliss seeks to make a country musician a baseball star, Stanley (Michael Boatman) finds himself in love. Darius Rucker, Jesse Ventura, Travis Tritt, Bob Costas. Rita: Sandra Oh. Arliss: Robert Wuhl. - Charles V -- Philip Vi
Charles had in 1378 obtained proof of Charles of Navarre's treasonable designs. He seized the Norman towns held by the Navarrese, while Henry of Trastamara invaded Navarre, and imposed conditions of peace which rendered his lifelong enemy at last powerless. A premature attempt to amalgamate the duchy of Brittany with the French crown failed. Charles summoned the duke to Paris in 1378, and on his non-appearance committed one of his rare errors of policy by confiscating his duchy. But the Bretons rose to defend their independence, and recalled their duke. The matter was still unsettled when Charles died at Vincennes on the 16th of September 1380. - Tacoma Rainiers
Seattle's AAA affiliate, the Tacoma Rainiers, has been part of the Mariners' minor-league system since 1995. However, professional baseball has been played in Tacoma since 1960, when the Tacoma Giants started playing ball. (The team has undergone many name changes since then, settling into its Rainier incarnation when it became affiliated with Seattle in 1995.) During its 43-year existence, Tacoma's team has been a stepping stone for many future hall of famers and all-stars, including Mark McGuire, Alex Rodriguez, Jose Conseco, Gaylord Perry and Dave Stewart. It is ... where many current Mariner stars learned the ropes. Joel Pineiro played in Tacoma, as well as Willie Bloomquist, Ryan Franklin and Gil Meche. Some top prospects in the system now are pitchers Ryan Anderson, Ken Cloude, Brian Foulkenborg and Rafael Soriano; all four are ready to play at the major-league level and are awaiting their opportunity to make it in the big leagues.
