...Nestled in the tree-lined coziness of East 9th Street, Gallery Vercon has showcased brilliant accessories and clothing for more than a decade. It is here that owner Vashti de Verteuil, who came to New York from her native Trinidad, also designs and sells her line of jewelry. She mainly works with sterling silver, semiprecious stones and fresh-water pearls to create classic delicate, feminine pieces. On display are tantalizing examples of mixed semiprecious stones of blue and gray hues set in 14-karat white gold, and sterling rings and necklaces. Her rings are often used as alternatives...

...them in oblivion. These smaller markets cannot permit themselves to be a de facto minor league operation for the big clubs, developing talent until they become available free agents. Yes, it's possible for a team like Oakland to compete, but GM Billy Beane has been nothing short of brilliant, and he has no room for error. How much will the pitchers he's devloped like Barry Zito be worth on the open market? Denny Neagle just got $10 million per year. Hell, Darren Dreifort, who in my estimation is nothing better than a third starter, just commanded $11 million...
