Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B) just posted its 13-F filing with the SEC, which lists changes in its stock positions.
Buffett initiated a new position in medical technology company Becton Dickinson (BDX) in the second quarter. The sec filing shows Berkshire Hathaway purchased.1.20 million shares in Becton Dickinson (BDX). Becton Dickinson is a dividend aristocrat, which has raised distributions for 36 years in a row.
Berkshire added 4.4 million shares to its position in health care giant Johnson & Johnson (JNJ). This is the second consecutive addition to its holdings there. Johnson and Johnson (JNJ) is another dividend aristocrat, which has rewarded shareholders with 47 years of consecutive dividend increases. Check my analysis of the stock.
Those recent moves by Buffett reiterate my convictions that he is a closet dividend investor. Most companies that have managed to increase their dividends for long periods of time are ones that have wide moats as well as excellent competitive advantages in the marketplace. Having these qualities leads to rising earnings which tend to support a steady pace of increase in dividends.
Berkshire eliminated its position in utility company Constellation Energy (CEG). This wasn't a surprising move since Buffett's company had already disclosed this sale in a June 1 filing.
Berkshire Hathaway disclosed lowered stakes in Carmax (KMX), ConocoPhillips (COP), Eaton Corporation (ETN), Home Depot (HD), United Health Group (UNH) when comparing June 30 to March 31 filings.
In a July 22 filing Berkshire Disclosed it had also cut its stake in the credit rating company Moody's (MCO) by 16%.
Over the past several months Berkshire Hathaway has been allocating funds to preferred stocks with at very good prices. The company has invested billions in preferred shares of companies like Goldman Sachs (GS), General Electric (GE), Tiffany's (TIF), Harley Davidson (HOG) and Dow Chemical (DOW). Some of these deals deliver not only solid yields in the low double digits, but also give warrants which could provide solid capital gains if these stocks recover over the next few years.
What this filing does not show however is the fact that Buffett's conglomerate "goofed on derivatives". While there may be more buzz than actual news and the SEC issues have been resolved, it is interesting how Buffett talks one thing but then does exactly the opposite of what he preaches. He's always held a view against derivatives, yet his company has always engaged in options selling, futures and insurance derivatives.
One of his riskiest trades is the selling of puts on four major world stock indices, which expire somewhere between 2018 and 2028. Berkshire assumed over $37.50 billion in potential liabilities in the process, and has already lost $8 billion on them at the end June 2009. If world stock markets resemble the Japanese stock market of the second "lost decade" for the country with the rising sun, then Berkshire would be on the hook for almost half the $37 billion in assumed liabilities.
Does is pay to follow Buffett's moves? The answer is yes it does. According to this paper a portfolio that mimicked Buffet's stock investments would have outperformed S&P 500 by 14.6% annually between 1976 and 2006. Here's a list of Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio holdings as of June 30, 2009:

In wake of the CW network developing a new show about the life of a transgender teenager, HuffPost Live sat down with several teens who identify as transgender last week to discuss their experiences. One transgender teenager, Ryan Cassata, stressed the importance of educating one's parents about transgender issues as crucial to gaining a system of familial support for one's gender identity.
Barilla pasta's CEO says: "We won't include gays in our ads, because we like the traditional family." He then urged gays to buy another brand of pasta.
We told our son that he had to choose between Jesus and his sexuality. Choosing God, practically, meant living a lifetime condemned to being alone. So, just before his 18th birthday, Ryan, depressed, suicidal and disillusioned, made a new choice.
"And we pray that God can somehow use our story to help other parents learn to truly love their children. Just because they breathe."

Nice breakfast, clean comfortable room and bed. Instant hot water in bath.
The hotel itself was in fair condition. Neighborhood was not in a great area. Seemed crime is really high. Every business around it had bars on windows and people loitering around.
Upon arrival we were informed that they did not have any of the rooms left that we had reserved and instead of upgrading us to a room that had what we reserved, they put us in a disabled room. So we had a soaking wet bathroom floor the entire time after the first shower taken. Walls are also very thin. You can hear every one that walks down the halls.
The bed was comfortable and the pillows were excellent.
Bathroom didn't have any hand towel hook or rack.
Very nice staff. Clean and modern room, comfy bed.
$4 for a bottle of water and the print so small
The room, the staff, and the atmosphere of the hotel was wonderful. Very clean.
There were no nearby restaurants and that wasn't convenient at all because we didn't want fast food.
Need to treat for ants around hot tub and pool
Clean. Comfortable
No thing
Extra charge of $25.00 was taken from my checking account.. Not sure what for.. Not clearly stating that the no longer return deposits for dogs stay but that it's a non refundable charge Now...
Friendly staff
Hidden fees
Staff was very helpful and amenities were great!! Free wifi and great technology connections are already in the room. Also if you forget your charger, curling iron, etc they will bring you one to borrow! They also have items that you can keep that you may have forgotten! Free parking too! Nice bar and lobby area environment.
The pool was phenomenal!!
Would have loved a free breakfast.
nice room, spanish speaker at front, great!!!
hot tube broken :-(
We liked the bathroom , nice tub and very clean. We also liked the pool
There were no ceiling fans or a/c that we could turn on for air flow even called and asked for a room fan and didn't get one so it was very warm in the room and there was no ice box.
We were charged an extra $180+ than what had been guaranteed when we booked the room. When we brought up our concern to the front desk they basically blew us off and the manager assured us that it was the right price. We had to go through our booking website and have their customer service talk to the same manager to have the issue fixed. It was frustrating to know we were basically ignored and not taken seriously because of our young age.
I liked the hotel.
I wish it was closer to the airport.
your pool and jacuzzi was very nice
told i would have a sleeper sofa with 2 double beds and instead when i got there i was offered a king with a sleeper sofa and told they didn't have what was told to me.
The atmosphere was relaxing. The staff was extremely friendly. The room was comfortable and accommodating.
Housekeeping came by our room pretty early. For being on a leisure trip, I would have liked not being woken up to a panic so early in the morning. Then when I asked later for turndown service, we only received new towels. The bed wasn't made and trash receptacles weren't emptied (not that there was much to empty). It struck me as odd that the complete process was not completed.
Comfortable bed Good size hotel room Location to airport
Over the top telephone charges The fact that the view from the window is the lobby of the hotel
Old tired rooms....not the best value
Nice hotel, big room.
A/C not cold enough, no free breakfast, full beds not queen.
First of all they gave us rooms with double beds when I clearly reserved rooms with king beds. After that was finally rectified we were informed there were proms there both nights we were staying there. We couldn't find parking in the lot due to all of the kids cars and we had to park and walk with a baby, then we got the "pleasure" of listening to high schoolers run up and down halls etc all night after their prom. We will not be staying at a Hyatt anytime soon that's forsure.
Staff was good. Bed was nice.
Bar area was really bad. And cold too. Lots of noise.

When should a restaurant NOT comp a meal?
I think the expectation of a comp for any little quibble is just an extension of how customers have been trained by Trader Joe's, Costco and Whole Foods. You say you don't like something you bought at those places, for any reason whatsoever ? You don't even need to bring the product back (ie. feel free to eat the rest of it), they'll refund your money.

21 Things chefs wish they could tell you.....
I've heard another way to present your "point".
If the tip rate is 15%, a server has to serve just under 7 entrees to earn enough to pay for 1 entree for themselves.
If the tip rate is 20%, a server has to serve 5 entrees to earn enough to pay for 1 entree for themselves.
If the tip rate is 25%, a server has to serve 4 entrees to earn enough to pay for 1 entree for themselves.
If you keep eating at the same caliber of places and the service hasn't changed much, increasing the tip rate is equivalent to expecting less work for the same "reward" as measured in goods.

Tipping strictly prohibitied! Yea or Nea?
From the Cornell paper http://tippingresearch.com/uploads/ma... linked in that dispatch, regarding how to generate more tips by increasing sales:
"Therefore, have servers turn tables and sell more entrees when possible. When turning tables is not possible, then have servers sell more appetizers and desserts."
I was under the impression that servers often think of diners in that first category (who focus on mains & don't stay long) in a negative light, whereas this paper suggests that they should not.

We usually buy whatever meats and veggies are on sale that week, and shop there on Wednesdays to take advantage of their overlapping sales.
We used to love the fresh chicken sausages, which seem lower in fat. But lately, it seems that they're bulking them up with water somehow, because we're seeing a lot more liquid (not fat) in the pan after cooking.

Looks like they're gone. There was a banner announcing the grand opening of Fuji Huoshao & Dumpling, but it wasn't open yet when we drove by.
Jun 15, 2014DagingKuda in San Francisco Bay Area
I went a few times just after they'd opened. Each time, the same service issue arose. All dishes were ordered up front, all dishes but one arrived promptly, and the final dish had to asked about after 30 minutes. Sometimes, the final dish seemed to be started at the 30 minute mark and then arrived promptly. Other times, we were told at that point that the dish was not available.
The food was up to par with Santa Clara (we did not order dim sum), so we will revisit after a while and hopefully the service issues will have been worked out by then.

When Morton just won't do...Pasta Rocks!
If I buy it from GO, I won't be paying twice as much. In fact, I'd expect to pay less than what I pay for my usual Himalayan salt.

"truly cynical fostering of faddism"
That's the case with many many many products throughout history though. It's not like this (tcfof) is somehow new.
Jun 06, 2014DagingKuda in General Topics
When Morton just won't do...Pasta Rocks!
Since that other subthread smells like it's probably headed towards deletion, let me ask this in a new one.
1. I already have Himalayan salt crystals. What benefit do Pasta Rocks offer (over just using those crystals) which would justify its price ?
2. Why is each rock only good for 1-3 uses ? They look big enough to last longer. And how many expected uses are actually in a $9.95 0.8 lb package ?
3. Is this product expected to appeal to serious cooks or recreational ones (the kind who own expensive kitchens which are rarely used for cooking) ? Are repeat customers expected ?
I'm willing to keep an "open" mind to the product's creator(s) for now, and I do see myself buying this at some point (for the novelty), but honestly, I think it will be from my local GO.
Jun 05, 2014DagingKuda in General Topics

If Chinese restaurants will often assume non-Chinese patrons will want a fork ...
What if a restaurant lays out forks and spoons, when the people of their culture would be using their hands ? Would you then ask if western restaurants should take away their forks and spoons when those people dine ?

Looking for upscale/refined Asian restaurant in South Bay
So after filtering out places in MV, the candidate list consists of
I'm leaning towards Gochi (if we can get a private room), Sumika (may be too loud - will check it out first), Jang Su Jang (again, if we can get a private room) or Indo.
Thanks for the suggestions. Feel free to add more if anything else comes to mind.

So Tartine replaces Dianetics. Is it part of SF's Tartine ?
And Cijjo replaces Pho Garden, which is moving down a couple storefronts. Any info on Cijjo's food ?
Do you have any info on who's moving into the old Food Street location, right next to Park Balluchi ?
Any candidates for Hunan Chilli's and New China Delights locations ?

Looking for upscale/refined Asian restaurant in South Bay
"Asian" meant "east Asian" in this case, as opposed to "south Asian" or "middle eastern". As stated originally, specific ethnicity is irrelevant. So, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, Thai, Malaysian etc. are all contenders, regardless of subcategory (general, regional, vegetarian, Islamic, Buddhist, kappo, kaiseki, izakaya, hotpot, shabu shabu etc.). In fact, I was hoping the lack of restriction would encourage people to throw in any suggestions that came to mind.
You interpreted "upscale/refined" correctly in your suggestions below. It meant not mom&pop/homey, not hole-in-the-wall, not cafe, not dining hall, but with some measure of elegance in the surroundings, less crowding, no staff speaking loudly at each other across the room, no TV. This criterion rules out many ramen (homey/cafe) and Chinese (crowding) places. On top of that, the $50 pp cap rules out many kaiseki and nicer sushi places.
Your list below also made me realize that there was an additional requirement: that it not be near downtown Mountain View, because they've been taken to many of those places already (Kappo Nami Nami, Xanh, Bushido, Shana).
I did searches on both Chowhound and Yelp, and came up with Gochi, Rokko, Jin Sho and Jang Su Jang (maybe not as refined, and the warning about car break-ins doesn't help). I was hoping for others. I'd definitely like your rec's on the refined Korean places in Santa Clara.
Looking for upscale/refined Asian restaurant in South Bay
Thanks. I had the "Last 12 months" flag set, so I didn't see those. I was hoping for something more recent.
Looking for upscale/refined Asian restaurant in South Bay
Can anyone recommend an Asian restaurant in the South Bay, that serves reasonably authentic or smartly fusion food, with an upscale atmosphere that is more refined ? It doesn't have to be quiet, but loud is out. Specific ethnicity irrelevant, price less than $50 per person. Thanks.
ETA: This is for a group of primarily Asian people. So places like Chef Chu are out.
First Jersey Mike's Subs now open in Santa Clara an East Coast transplant - any reports?

So, despite your "incredibly sensitive nose", you've never been around someone and wondered how they couldn't realize that they smell ? Not in an elevator, not in a plane, not in a subway ?
It's not an issue of a medical condition. People just get used to their own smell. Since they're around it non-stop and the smell increases gradually, they acclimate to it, and don't realize what it smells like to others. But when someone else is suddenly exposed to them, that other person can smell it right away. (A food equivalent would be the use of hot sauce. People get used to their level of spiciness and may not realize how much they've increased their usage per serving over time.)
And the civilized world is composed of civilized people who adjust themselves so they all get along. Each person changes a little to accomodate many others in a civilized world, not vice versa.

Blue Bomber Report Record: 6–3–0
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Blue say bye for a while
It's time to take mind off troubles and hurt off muscles
Brandon Stewart should have been in Seattle by now, soaking in the comfort of home and the smell of the coast while the Bombers are on break.
Only one little problem -- one the cornerback didn't notice until after he landed in Vancouver for Monday's tilt against the B.C. Lions. "I forgot my passport in Winnipeg," Stewart said at the airport Tuesday while some of his teammates laughed around the luggage carousel. "I was like, well, I guess I won't be crossing that border. Guess I'll go back to Winnipeg and hang out."
Hey, that's not so bad in itself. After falling 27-20 to the Lions to sit at a frustrating 1-5 on the season, the Bombers could use a spot of relaxation. Time to rest aching muscles and take the mind away from the field, which so far has been so unkind. "I'm going to do a bunch of nothing," Stewart laughed. "No responsibilities, just sleep and eat. I might not come out of my apartment for a couple of days."
He's not the only one. Some players, including quarterback Justin Goltz, didn't return to Winnipeg Tuesday, bound for vacation spots or just for distant American homes and a rare chance to see family in the middle of the season.
Kick returner Aaron Woods is staying put on the Prairies. His plan for the bye week is to study the playbook and "heal the body."
He probably could use it after taking a monster hit the first play of Monday's game. It was delivered by Lions linebacker Solomon Elimimian, a ruthless hitter who just happens to be Woods' off-season roommate at their training spot in Hawaii.
"I'm probably going to hear about that all off-season," Woods said with a wry grin. As for the game, between the killer hit and the fumble it forced, "it definitely did not start off the way I wanted it to." But he felt better about wrapping it up with 111 yards on five kick returns, a solid improvement over his Week 5 debut.
While the Bombers' muscles need a break, their minds do, too. Coach Tim Burke's wife is in Winnipeg and his son is coming soon, so he's planning quality family time before the coaching staff gets back together days before practice fires up again. Hopefully, they'll feel freshly creative then. "If you never take any time off, you don't get your batteries recharged," he said. "I think you come up with more ideas when you get away from it."
In past years, the Bombers have been miffed by a few players returning late from the bye. This time, Burke laid down the law. "(I told them) that they'd be fined pretty severely," he said.
Though the bye is prime time to find ways to improve the team, defensive back Jovon Johnson is using it to help up-and-coming players build their game. On Friday, Johnson will host a skills camp at Alexander Ross Park for football players ages nine to 18, teaching them how to explode into their runs, switch directions at speed and hone other techniques.
The rest of the time? Maybe a little bit of working out with the guys who are staying in town, maybe having some teammates over for a barbecue. "Try to build some more unity and get to know each other more," he said. Johnson remembers the 2011 season, when the players hung out together and the team went to the Grey Cup. This season, he said, there's a lot of new faces and guys are "kinda doing their own thing."
Johnson says he's got some grilling skills to help with the bonding. "When you're around each other hanging out, it rubs off on the field," he said. "Hopefully that will help us."

I think both sides are stretching their "rights" a bit. The church is selling a piece of property, does it really matter to the church after the title changes hands as to what happens on the property? The state is trying to say that the couple that is trying to purchase the property is being discriminated against. If the church pulled out because of the "potential" of gay weddings. . . . how is that discriminating against the couple? Says nothing about the couple's sexuality and according to the story, neither did the church.
Nope both sides are trying to make a statement here and neither really has a standing to make it. However, if the church just pulled out of the negotiations. . . . .just because, then the story would never had come about.

I posted this because I firmly believe the "Separation of Church and State" was to protect the Church from the government. This "government" is scary. Very scary!!

Milton woman connected to Subway robbery surrenders to police
Jeffrey Smith (Courtesy photo)
Ashley Rawson, 22, of 16 Teneriffe Road, Milton, was charged with conspiracy to commit robbery and unsworn falsification in connection with a March 7 incident where Jeffrey Smith, 23, who is homeless, allegedly took an undisclosed amount of cash from the downtown sandwich shop at 457 Main St. around 12:30 p.m.
Members of Farmington and Rochester police arrested Smith on March 8 at a relative's residence in Rochester. He was charged with robbery and is being held at Strafford County jail in Dover on a probation violation.
Also on March 8, a witness reported spotting a tan pickup in Rochester that fit the description of the truck used during the robbery. Chief Kevin Willey located the truck along Route 125 in Milton. He stopped the truck driven by Rawson, who was arrested for an unrelated issue, according to police.
As part of the investigation into the Subway robbery, Rawson admitted to Det. Brian Driscoll that she drove Smith to and from downtown Farmington, but allegedly denied being involved in the crime. She eventually recanted and allegedly admitted to writing the note Smith handed to the clerk and driving the truck he used to escape down Mechanic Street following the robbery, according to police.
After a warrant was issued for Rawson, she turned herself into police after 1 p.m. Friday.
Conspiracy to commit robbery is a felony while unsworn falsification is a misdemeanor.
Rawson, who was released on $10,000 personal recognizance, is scheduled to be arraigned April 16 in 7th Circuit Court in Rochester.

Greener chemical cleanups
February 26, 2014 12:14 PM - Marianne English Spoon, University of Wisconsin
Cleaning up oil spills and metal contaminants in a low-impact, sustainable and inexpensive manner remains a challenge for companies and governments globally. But a group of researchers at UW—Madison is examining alternative materials that can be modified to absorb oil and chemicals. If further developed, the technology may offer a cheaper and "greener" method to absorb oil and heavy metals from water and other surfaces.

COLLEGIATE CORNER: Fossil Fuels vs. Renewable Resources
February 24, 2014 01:07 PM - Flavio Avalos, Class of 2015, Wakefield High School, Arlington, VA
Fossil fuels have been the main source of the energy all over the world. They increase the amount of CO2 emissions, and the emission of CO2 is a great cause of global warming in the atmosphere, destroying the atmospheric layers. What can we do to lower the demand of fossil fuels and become more eco friendly with renewable energy resources? The percent of US transportation sector consumption is 95.4% fossil fuels (Article 3), and this shows the reliance of the US on fossil fuels. As the Institute for Energy states, "Fossil Fuels make modern life possible" and that the only reason that our modern society works and the privileges we get are all due to the fact of fossil fuels (Article 3). Need I remind you: fossil fuels are limited and could go out?
One-in-five products not complying with energy saving claims

One in five energy-using products across Europe do not match their energy efficiency claims, according to the Energy Saving Trust. This follows findings from European Commission-funded research which revealed that up to 20 per cent are non-compliant with energy efficiency standards, such as energy labeling. According to estimates, this is leading to around ten per cent of the potential energy savings stated being lost by millions of products across Europe, including ovens, fridges, washing machines, dishwashers, televisions and computers.
The first big bite!
February 7, 2014 11:43 AM - Gareth Trickey, University of Toronto
The first top predators to walk on land were not afraid to bite off more than they could chew, a University of Toronto, Mississauga study has found. Graduate student and lead author Kirstin Brink and U of T Biology Professor Robert Reisz suggest that Dimetrodon, a carnivore that walked on land between 298 million and 272 million years ago, was the first terrestrial vertebrate to develop serrated ziphodont teeth. According to the study published in Nature Communications, ziphodont teeth, with their serrated edges, produced a more-efficient bite and would have allowed Dimetrodon to eat prey much larger than itself. While most meat-eating dinosaurs possessed ziphodont teeth, fossil evidence suggests serrated teeth first evolved in Dimetrodon some 40 million years earlier than theropod dinosaurs.
Building Green
February 3, 2014 12:38 PM - ClickGreen Staff, ClickGreen

While these methods are by no means the only ones available within the industry, the selected materials and methods include: -Metallic paint -Chemical containment -Spray-on insulation -Concrete alternatives -Green roofs Each method boasts the more efficient properties in terms of reducing environmental damage, with the least change to standard methods.
Why can't you walk to the big game?
February 1, 2014 10:31 AM - s.e. smith, Care2
Super Bowl XLVIII, featuring my archenemies the Seattle Seahawks against the Denver Broncos, is about to go down. Millions of fans will be gathering around TV screens across the country to watch, but of course the best experience of all is available to those who get to see the magic in person at MetLife Stadium. Better yet, organizers are touting this as the "greenest Super Bowl ever," with initiatives like composting, low water landscaping, Energy Star Certified equipment, donation of leftover food, a massive solar panel installation, and the use of recycled steel in construction. In other words, you'd think these guys are pretty serious not just about sports, but also the environment, with all this hard work to make the match as eco-friendly as possible. We're seeing the same kinds of initiatives in Sochi for the Winter Olympics, as well as Rio, indicating that in the sports world, green is in. Which is exciting news for those of us who like the Earth and think it should stick around in habitable form a little longer.

Slowing down the floodwaters
January 29, 2014 10:41 AM - Robin Blackstone, ENN

Slowing down water in anticipation of flooding events is being tested all over the world. Strategies include the use of retention basins; wetlands development; levee systems and floodwalls but Newcastle University researchers directed by Dr. Mark Wilkinson are employing additional water retention strategies further up in the catchment system. The Belford Burn is a small catchment system located in Northumberland, a community just south of the Scottish border.

Congratulations to all the winners of the JewishPress.com raffle at The Event
I was one of 2,400 people at the recent Yeshiva Beth Yehudah dinner held in downtown Detroit.
That's not a misprint – 2,400 people turned out at the annual dinner for the day school I attended decades ago and my grandchildren attend today.
It's the biggest yeshiva day-school dinner in the country and has been for several years. The biggest names in local politics (such as Michigan Sen. Carl Levin) show up and the biggest names in national politics are guest speakers.
This year the guest speaker was Vice President Joe Biden. After a very pro-Israel speech from Biden, it was strolling dessert time and I ran into some familiar old faces from my early yeshiva days. After talking politics, the subject turned to baseball, specifically the first full year we started following the game.
All of us could think back 60 years to 1951. What a baseball year it was.
It was the last season for Joe DiMaggio and the first for Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays. It was the year the St. Louis Browns' flamboyant owner Bill Veeck sent up a 3-foot-7 inch pinch-hitter (who walked on four pitches that would have been strikes to any other major league batter).
It was the year Ralph Kiner won his sixth consecutive National League home run crown. It was the year Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Preacher Roe won 22 games and lost only three. And, of course, it was the year the Dodgers blew the pennant.
The arch-rival New York Giants lost just nine of their final 47 games to tie the Dodgers for first place at season's end, setting up a three-game playoff. In the bottom of the 9th of the final playoff game at the Polo Grounds, Brooklyn was ahead 4-2. With two Giants runners on base, Ralph Branca was brought in to pitch to Bobby Thomson. Thomson homered to left in the late afternoon gloom to send Brooklyn into mourning. Thomson's memorable homer became known as "The Shot Heard 'Round the World."
But 60 years ago Jewish baseball history was made in Detroit. And our young class was there. In those days the Tigers gave away tickets for some May and June midweek games against bad teams like the Philadelphia Athletics.
It was May 2, 1951. The Tigers had their Jewish battery working at the time – Saul Rogovin pitching and Joe Ginsberg catching. Rogovin was pitching a no-hitter when he yielded a hit with one in the seventh inning. In the ninth, with Detroit leading 3-1, Lou Limmer came to bat in a pinch-hitting role. Rogovin, Ginsberg and Limmer had two things in common – they were born in New York and were Jewish.
When Limmer reached the batter's box, umpire Bill Summers stated, "I got me three Hebes, let's see who wins." Rogovin eyed the runner on first base and aimed his pitch for the target Ginsberg presented with his glove. However, Limmer lined the pitch into the lower right field seats to tie the score and send the game to extra innings and Rogovin to the showers.
The Tigers went on to win the game and less than two weeks later Rogovin, who would go on to become a teacher in the New York public school system after his baseball career, would be traded to the Chicago White Sox.
As May was nearing its end, Cal Abrams of the Brooklyn Dodgers had a 14-for23 streak to lead the National League with a .470 batting average. Abrams's hitting inspired a headline in the New York Post that went, "Mantle, Shmantle, We Got Abie."
Abrams cooled off as the weather warmed up and was used less frequently. When the season ended for Brooklyn, Abrams totaled 155 at-bats and posted a .280 batting average. Lou Limmer batted 214 times with five homers, but his low .159 batting average would earn him a ticket back to the minor leagues for the next two years.
Saul Rogovin became one of the best pitchers in the A.L. leading the league with a 2.78 ERA while winning 11 and losing seven. Joe Ginsberg was a backup catcher but eleven years later would make history as the Mets' starting catcher in their first-ever home game.
The big Jewish stars of '51 were Al Rosen of the Cleveland Indians and Sid Gordon of the Boston Braves. Rosen batted .265 with 24 home runs and 102 RBI while Gordon outslugged him (.287, 29, 109). Both were third baseman while Gordon was also used in the outfield.

DAL vs PHI, The First Go Round,......zzzzzzzzzzz !
According to NFL.com. The stats show the Egrets and the Cowboys are both at the bottom of the barrel as far as total defense goes. A remnant of both using the 4-3. PHI as a result of hiring a new front office and newly hired BCS coach Chip Kelly. DAL as a result of Jerral being the GM. Now,....... for whatever reason the downfall. Both have to pick up the pieces and move on best they can.
DAL has a slight edge on defense, but only slight. Why I'm not going to be doing any highfalutin raging against, the Birdbrained Egret Machine at this point. It's too early and we know how the story ends. Jerral spins his time watching other teams in the division and plays down or up to them. Whichever the case may be. In prime time. Never once hoping for a win. Only ratings. The philosophy is well worn and bothersome. To let a hampered NFC East Division creep up on a talented Cowboys team, is a concoction only from the mind of Jerral.
That's where we're at right now. Two teams vastly different, both struggling, and perplexed. As to how to right the ship. I wouldn't venture a guess on the outcome. Only to say that the Cowboys should win the game, by virtue of better defensive play. Hard for me to rage against Egrets, or any other NFC East team. When we're so low in the rankings. This is going to take some getting use too. "Go Cowboys,...... through thick and thin."

Financial Stability, Monetarism and the Wicksell Connection
AbstractIn today's discussions of central banking, maintaining macro-financial stability has only recently appeared along-side the pursuit of low inflation as an important policy goal. This is in strong contrast to the earlier literature, where financial stability was often the main concern of the theory of central banking. This theme is explored here first from the point of view of the monetarist tradition, which treated an excess demand for money which the central bank in its capacity as lender of last resort had an obligation to relieve as a central feature of financial crises; and then from that of a later Wicksellian tradition, where co-ordination failures in the inter-temporal allocation of resources that it was monetary policy's task to avoid, were emphasized. Though there are no long-lost sure cures for financial instability awaiting discovery in the older literature, its emphasis on the potential for markets to fail to clear provides a helpful perspective on the phenomenon, often missing from modern models of the conduct of monetary policy.

Raiders feel chill from draft
ALAMEDA, Calif. — For an organization seeking to rebuild through the draft, the Oakland Raiders have struggled to find impact players in the first two drafts under general manager Reggie McKenzie.
Whether because of injuries, a lack of enough premium picks or bad decisions, the Raiders have gotten only one starter from the last two grab bags.
Of the 16 players taken in McKenzie's first two draft classes, five are no longer with the organization, three are on season-ending injured reserve, and most of the others are struggling to get on the field.
With the organization hampered by bad contracts from departed players that are still eating up salary cap space, the misses in the draft are more notable, a clear factor in another disappointing season in Oakland.
"Sometimes things don't work out," said coach Dennis Allen, whose team closes out the season against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. "Sometimes mistakes are made. But I'm very confident in Reggie McKenzie and the personnel staff of being able to evaluate football players"
Allen said it is far too early to judge this year's draft class, which has been mostly underwhelming from the top on down. The biggest disappointments have been first-round cornerback D.J. Hayden, who struggled before going on IR, and fourth-round quarterback Tyler Wilson, who spent most of the year on the practice squad before being signed by Tennessee last week.
The highlights from the draft were third-round linebacker Sio Moore, who has been a starter all season and has 3½ sacks, and sixth-round tight end Mychal Rivera, who has 36 catches for 384 yards and four touchdowns.
"Rookies generally don't make a huge impact in their first year," Allen said. "But there's a lot of things that we see in these guys that we can develop where they can get better, where they can be the backbone of our team moving forward."

CMS Releases 2013 IPPS Final Rule
HAC list
CMS finalized the addition of two conditions to the HAC list:
- Surgical site infection following cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED)
- Iatrogenic pneumothorax with venous catheterization
Both conditions, as reported, are currently CCs, Gold notes.
Inpatient facilities do not receive higher MS-DRG payments for patients with CCs or MCCs caused by of the conditions on the HAC list if no other CCs or MCCs are present. CMS also reiterated that conditions on the HAC list that are not present on admission will not be paid as CC or MCC, says Gold.
Hospitals will need to ascertain that they code 38.93 (venous catheterization not elsewhere classified) on all patients whereby a central line is placed so that this HAC will be appropriately identified, Kennedy emphasized.
CMS also added the following two codes to the existing vascular catheter-associated infection HAC category:
- 999.32 (bloodstream infection due to central catheter)
- 999.33 (local infection due to central venous catheter)
The focus has been on identifying conditions that occur while the patient is in the hospital that are going to impact reimbursement (cause Medicare to pay more) and can be prevented through evidence-based guidelines, says Jennifer Avery, CCS, CPC-H, CPC, CPC-I, regulatory specialist for HCPro, Inc, in Danvers, Mass. "I am in total agreement that the government should not pay for hospitals to provide less than quality care to any patient. We shouldn't reward hospitals to make mistakes and I believe we will see more conditions added as they are identified."

Llanfoist housing plan approved by councillors
6:18am Wednesday 5th March 2014 in Gwent news
A PLAN to build 80 new homes on the Cooper Filters site in Llanfoist was approved by Monmouthshire county councillors yesterday afternoon - subject to further discussion on the estate's footpaths and roads.
It had been referred back to the planning committee after they asked for changes to be made to the development's footpaths and design of some of the houses at last month's meeting.
But concerns were again raised by some councillors about the width of some of the pavements and it will now be deferred to a delegation panel who will ensure plans are improved within weeks.
Cllr Giles Howard said he was "happy" the designs had been improved but said the pavements on the roads planned were "not appropriate for children and foot users".
Cllr Alan Wintle also raised concerns about possible problems getting vehicles by on what he said were narrow roads.
But council officers said the proposed roads and paths were to "adoptable standards".
And Cllr Roger Harris, who represents the adjoining Croesonen ward, said: "The developers have listened to what we have to say and they've done what we've asked. It's very difficult to turn round [and refuse the plans]."
As part of the plans, parking spaces for an OAP block and affordable flats for OAPs will be built closer to Merthyr Road than was initially proposed.
Two semi-detached blocks of affordable houses will be moved further south and a cycle lock-up and bin store will be accessed directly from the road. This is to improve security and so bins are collected directly from the store.
There were 18 objections to the plans, which commented on the number of houses that were proposed and possible problems of anti-social behaviour.
The plans were approved by Abergavenny's Town Council.
George Ashworth, the council's head of planning, said there were expected to be 23 primary school pupils and 25 secondary school pupils living on the estate when an initial 100-home development was proposed by developers a year ago. Slightly fewer children are now anticipated.
But Cllr Simon Howarth said he was "angry" that primary school pupils who live on the site will be expected to travel up to a mile to Deri View School in Abergavenny.
Barratts is already building 134 new homes on the Gavenny Gate site, to the south-west of the site.

Comfortable and Serene
I love this end of Lagoon Pond, the pond is warmer water than the open ocean/beaches, it's almost always calm, it's pretty quiet, and it's a beautiful setting. The rental not only has two kayaks (both are two seaters), it also came with a complimentary waterskiing or similar "adventure" or rental form MV Watersports, which was great (and pretty nearby via water around the corner to the Oak Bluffs marina out the end of the Lagoon Pond area). Having a pier/dock is a big benefit here if you want to pull a boat up, or just sit on the end, fish off it, etc. (even in the mid summer when the lagoon is warm there are some smaller schoolie stripers to catch in the mornings). Most Lagoon Pond houses do not have a dock, this is a nice perk. There is also a deeper water mooring I think if needed for boaters with deeper draft. While someone could sleep on the fold downs downstairs, they are in the one (big) open room there, not really a bedroom, so I'd be leery of using it if I had more people than a queen bed and two small twin beds can handle, unless someone is just there for a night or really doesn't mind no privacy. For just two people, though, it was overly spacious. It was also nice that there is a utility room downstairs with both washer/dryer and counter space, etc. to clean fish, to store things that would clutter the open space, etc. Lots of deck space up and downstairs, and plenty of deck chairs, plus a grill (which we never even used). The kitchen is well furnished, as is the linen closet. This house is set up for year-round living, so there are plenty of drawers, closets, etc. to put things without being cramped like a hotel room feel. When the airport sets up for use of runway 24 (when there is a west wind, which is most of the time) there is a little plane traffic sometimes overhead, but it's not loud and the airport has restricted hours to not start early or continue late. The agent and family were great to deal with, it was all made easy, and everything about this rental was great.
Comfortable and Inviting
Our family of 4, plus my parents, stayed here for a week and enjoyed this home very much. It was very comfortable, relaxed, and inviting. Our kids loved sleeping in the loft and riding their bikes in the street. Since the house is situated at the end of a quiet street, we felt they were very safe. (We had a nice experience renting bikes from Martha's Bike Rentals.) My parents enjoyed their beautiful accommodations above the carriage house. I loved the well-stocked kitchen. It had nice dishware and all the utensils and cooking tools I needed. We felt that the beach was too far to walk, but we liked that we were just a short drive away. We hope to come back again soon.
It's all about the front porch!
My wife and I have a close group of friends that we have been traveling with for the past 12 years. We have rented private homes from coast to coast in places like Tahoe, Jackson Hole, Telluride, and Whistler. We unanimously decided that this house was one of our favorites. A summer vacation in Oak Bluffs is all about the front porch and this home has a great one. It has plenty of space to line up the chairs along the front rail so everyone can kick back and relax during the hottest times of the day. But, it also has a large open area to the side with a comfortable outdoor dining table that is perfect for building a puzzle with your morning coffee or playing cards if it decides to rain. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are spacious with new and easy-opening windows to allow the breeze to flow through on a warm day (last season the windows of our rental were all painted shut). The kitchen is nicely laid out with a second full size refrigerator in an adjoining pantry space (a very welcome addition for large groups) and the indoor dining room comfortably seats 10 people. As much as we loved the house we were even happier with the location. You can see the beach from the front porch which is only a 2 minute walk away. You are also an easy 5 minute walk to either the ferry or downtown Oak Bluffs where you have many options for dining, shopping, supplies, or just a morning latte and bagel. The only downside is that our group is now second guessing our plans to go to Italy next summer instead of the Vineyard because we had such a great time. But that is a good thing isn't it?

SINGAPORE--The Singapore dollar was flat against the U.S. dollar late Thursday as the greenback fell to a two-month low against the Japanese yen and stock markets declined.
The yen rose as investors moved out of riskier assets as expectations have grown that the U.S. Federal Reserve will soon scale back its monetary stimulus.
The U.S. dollar was quoted at S$1.2538 near the close of Asian trading, compared with S$1.2535 around the same time on Wednesday.
Traders were cautious Thursday, which weighed on riskier assets such as shares, though the Singapore dollar held its ground. The U.S. dollar was quoted as high as S$1.2596 earlier in the day.
Analysts said the volatility in global markets could persist unless the Fed calms markets by clarifying its stance at its June 18-19 policy meeting.
Singapore government bonds were a bit higher, after falling sharply in previous sessions in line with U.S. Treasurys because of concerns about a possible pullback by the Fed. Yield on both the two-year and 10-year bonds fell by two basis points each, to 0.26% and 2.17%, respectively.

Jake Paltrow's comedy takes familiar male-angst material and turns it into a painful--but fun--string of jokes.
Though its forays into the subconscious may strike more adventurous cinematic palettes as precious and unimaginative, few will be able to resist Martin Freeman's appealing lead turn or the wry Brit wit that gives this fanciful confection a robust comic core.
There is a fine idea for a romantic comedy in Jake Paltrow's The Good Night but the writer-director, in his debut feature, never develops it much beyond the idea stage.
As thin and wispy as a dream you can't quite remember in the morning, writer-director Jake Paltrow's The Good Night wastes the ample comedy talent of Martin Freeman, turns his famous sister Gwyneth into a shrew, and makes you wish Danny DeVito had directed the movie instead of acting in it.
The Good Night is at heart a mediocre Sundance variation on the Dudley Moore-Bo Derek alleged classic "10."
Director Jake Paltrow's feature debut has all the hallmarks of an earnest young man's feature debut, and while that is not necessarily a bad thing, I can only imagine that it fit Sundance like a fingerless glove when it had its premiere there earlier this year.
The Good Night has flashes of bookish wit but never quite recovers from the metronomic monotony of its first half, which ticktocks between scenes of Paltrow braying and Cruz voguing.
There's a gloomy quality to The Good Night I sort of appreciated -- much of it was shot in London, although it's supposed to occur in New York -- but after the initial acerbic setup fades, Gary becomes less and less likable and the movie evaporates into nothing.
The comedy of male midlife angst dates back at least to "The Seven-Year Itch," when it was sweet and innocent. Each time it is recycled, it gets more sour and joyless.
