You can pretty much seal the deal that Michael Pineda will be returning to the New York Yankees on Wednesday versus the Baltimore Orioles after a stellar finish to his rehab assignment in Triple-A.
Pineda looked dominant in his second outing, putting up seven strikeouts over 4.1 innings pitched, surrendering just one run on five hits in 72 pitches, per Meredith Marakovits of YES Network:
Pineda's night finished in Scranton. 4.1IP 5H 1ER 7SO 72 pitches #Yankees
— Meredith Marakovits (@M_Marakovits) August 9, 2014
Mrs. Marakovits did make one boo-boo, but it's OK:
6 hits allowed by Pineda (not 5) #sorry
— Meredith Marakovits (@M_Marakovits) August 9, 2014
The best thing to see about that line is the amount of strikeouts. Pineda is a guy who can make hitters swing and miss, and when he's doing that you know he's feeling good.
Now that Pineda has thrown 72 pitches in a start, he's capable of throwing at least 80 his next time out, which should be Wednesday for the series finale at Camden Yards barring any issues in the morning.
It has already been reported that Pineda will likely skip his originally scheduled third rehab start in order to make his return five days earlier. Though his pitch count is still limited, Pineda will give just as many, if not more length than one of the arms out of the bullpen.
While the Yankees pitching staff has held it together in his absence, Pineda still adds an element that New York's starting five doesn't have. Pineda has the ability to be a go-to guy in October with his great stuff, the only question will be about his health.
For now, it looks like the 25-year-old is strong and ready to make an impact for the stretch run of the season.

September 6, 1900
The hurricane had begun sculpting the Gulf the moment it left Cuba and now it transmitted storm swells toward Galveston.
Waves form by absorbing energy from the wind. The longer the "fetch," or the expanse of sea over which the wind can blow without obstruction, the taller a wave gets. The taller it gets, the more efficiently it absorbs additional energy. Generally, its maximum height will equal half the speed of the wind. Thus a wind of 150 miles an hour can produce waves up to 75 feet tall. Other conditions, such as the chance superimposition of two or more waves, can cause waves to grow even bigger. The tallest wave on record was 112 feet, but occurred amid steady winds of only 75 miles an hour.
In a cyclonic system, the wind spirals to the left, but the waves continue forward along their original paths at speeds far faster than the storm's overall forward velocity. The forward speed of the storm of 1900 was probably no greater than ten miles an hour, but it produced swells that moved at fifty miles an hour, and began reaching the Texas coast fifteen hours after their formation.
Soon after the waves left the cyclone, they changed shape. They retained their energy, but lost much of their height and their jagged crests. They became long, easy undulations, like the grease-smooth swells that Columbus spotted on his first voyage.
As soon as they reached the Texas coast, however, they changed shape again. Whenever a deep-sea swell enters shallow water its leading edge slows. Water piles up behind it. The wave grows again. It is this effect that makes earthquake-spawned tsunamis so deceptive and so deadly. A tsunami travels across the ocean as a small hump of water but at speeds as high as five hundred miles an hour. When it reaches land, it explodes.

Hello All
I'm creating a small calendar in Excel and i was wondering whats the best way to input data in to my table.
So far my ideas to have a data input form where i select a name and enter my custom date with my custom text. My logic behind this on my form i select "Tom" from a a drop down, and then i insert the date "16/02/2012" and in my custom text box i would enter in something like SF which should populate cell E6 with SF. (see example below)
I've got very basic VBA skills which i did in collage way back but i don't putting some effort in to learning.

GOAL: Equal time.
Surveying the ballot, one is struck by...an overwhelming surge of relief about the fact that none of these people can win. Still, it would be nice if a few got wider exposure. The great thing about protest candidates - as more mainstream alternative players like Pat Buchanan and Jerry Brown are demonstrating - is their loose-cannon role. They can make statements forbidden to candidates who actually have a chance. This, of course, is exponentially more true for the outright fringers. For all anybody cares, they could drop their pants, rant in a helium-altered voice, and waggle stars-and-stripes-painted genitals. (Note to Russ Hirshon: That's a copyrighted idea, so don't think about using it without sending a consultancy check.) Because the outcasts lack a national nominating convention, some other set-up is needed: a Koppel-esque "TV town meeting," say, or a series of C-SPAN interviews by that channel's fine, stone-faced, monotoned workhorse, Brian Lamb. ("Kip Lee, for the benefit of viewers who haven't heard it before, explain your theory that the Earth is hollow, and that inside it dwells a nightmare race of `super-cyclopses.'") This civic exercise would also serve to silence the complaining fringers who say they never get a chance to be heard. All it takes is someone with the cash to get the ball rolling. How about it, Money Men? We're looking at ten months of mundane campaigning, followed by four more years of President Library Paste. Pay for a National Fringe Forum; keep a polity from lapsing into a coma.

When a cold or flu hits, many of us will do just about anything to relieve the fever, aches and pain. But for people with asthma, a smart approach to pain relief begins with understanding how different medications can affect your breathing and your immune system.
There are two basic types of pain relievers that you can buy in the U.S. without a prescription:
- acetaminophen
- NSAIDs: aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen
Acetaminophen works to reduce fever and relieve pain by affecting the parts of the brain that receive pain messages and control body temperature.
Brand names include Tylenol® and Midol®. Acetaminophen is also found in many combination cold and flu medications and prescription drugs, sometimes listed as APAP or paracetomol.
Caution: More is definitely not better. Too much acetaminophen can damage your liver, so it's important to read labels carefully and follow dosing instructions. Pay particular attention if you are taking more than one kind of pain, cold or flu medication, whether prescription or over-the-counter. The symptoms of liver problems are easily overlooked, since they can be similar to flu symptoms. Parents should be aware that infant drops carry a much more concentrated dose of medication than children's liquid (oral suspension) versions.
NSAIDs – nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs – relieve inflammation, fever and pain by suppressing the production of prostaglandins, hormone-like substances that also play a role in the immune system. There are three types available without a prescription:
- aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid): Bayer®, St. Joseph® and other brand names; also found in Anacin®, Bufferin®, Excedrin® and Vanquish®
- ibuprofen: brand names Advil®, Motrin®, Nuprin®
- naproxen: brand name Aleve®
Caution: Allergists say people with asthma may be sensitive to aspirin or other NSAIDs. According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, aspirin can decrease lung function in about 5 percent of people with asthma. Aspirin-like products such as ibuprofen and naproxen can cause the same effects, although some research indicates the risk is low. In addition, anyone taking oral corticosteroids should talk with their doctor before using an NSAID. The Food and Drug Administration also cautions NSAIDs may cause stomach bleeding.

Need To Know: Sasha Roiz
By Christopher Rudolph
After attending Syfy Channel's Upfront presentation event last week at New York City's Museum of Modern Art, I sat down to talk with Sasha Roiz who plays Sam Adama, the gay gangster on the Syfy Channel's hit show, Caprica, which is ending the first half of its season this Friday. We chatted about representing the gay community in the sci-fi world, his torso, and, among other things, dating Cylons.
Out: You shot the pilot episode of Caprica. Was Sam pegged to be a regular character from the very beginning?
Sasha Roiz: If the show got picked up, they said he had potential to become a recurring character, and when the show did get picked u,p they offered me a regular role. I always felt there was a lot of potential with this character.
Will Larry, your husband, play a larger role in upcoming episodes?
I can't promise that there will be a lot of me and Larry. Homosexuality on Caprica is such a nonissue, it would require a specific focus. Clearly, if a character in my position or in my line of work on another show were gay, it would cause a great deal of controversy, but here it's not really an issue, so there's no need to really explore the background. We touched upon it and displayed that it's a healthy and normal environment, and you're going to see Larry as more of a support for Sam. There's going to be a storyline where Sam questions his loyalties to his relationships all around him, including Larry.
Sam's profession would have to be straining for Larry --
Well, yeah, he's married to a mobster.
How did the producers tell you that Sam was going to be a gay character? Did they tell you during the pilot or later?
I sat down with Jane Espenson, our initial show runner, and this was after the show had been picked up, and she told me at lunch, "'By the way, Sam's gay." Which kind of threw me off because it was never mentioned before, and my impression of who this character was, the nature of his work, I couldnt really envision it, but when we spoke about it, it made more sense -- it added this great element to his character, the storyline, and to the world. So it's definitely something that I was excited about and welcomed.
Have you spoken with Ron Moore (creator and executive producer of Caprica) about the character and the couple's relationship? I know he had a gay couple on his last show, Virtuality.
I have, which ironically I was supposed to be tested for Virtuality, but they wanted to test me for this. I spoke more about it with Jane, and she said that Ron had always envisioned in his head that Sam would be gay.
You've already shot the entire season. What can we expect from the second half?
I can't talk about it to a great capacity, but you'll see that the stories are more intertwined. The storylines and various characters aren't so divided -- they really tie in and connect with one another. There will definitely be a major storyline involving the Adamas and the Greystones. It will be very unique.

Myla Goldberg:
Bee Season
Mixing mysticism, mental illness, and the bizarre subculture of spelling bees, Bee Season takes a poignant look at what happens to a family when things don't go as planned.
Nine-year-old Eliza Naumann has never considered herself remarkable, and her teachers and family have done little to convince her otherwise. All notions are challenged when Eliza wins her fourth grade class spelling bee. This seemingly small victory turns out to be just the beginning; within weeks she earns a seat on the high-pressure stage of the national spelling competition. As the accidentally-gifted child comes to terms with her new sense of self, the patchwork of her family begins to unravel.
While they may pass for "normal," the Naumann family proves that looks are deceiving. Patriarch Saul is a bohemian-turned-theologian, who wants nothing more than for his children to embrace Jewish mysticism as he has. Eliza's mother Miriam seems to have it all--a career in law, a solid family, and a shrewd intellect--but underneath this disguise of togetherness lies an obsessive-compulsive personality and need for aesthetic perfection that manifests itself in most unusual ways. Eliza's older brother is a shy, awkward teenager, though his bookish intelligence and eagerness to please his father have always ingratiated him on the homefront. When Eliza falls into the spotlight, Aaron finds himself ousted from the role of golden child. He embarks on a quest for belonging, and in the process becomes entranced by an alternative religion.
Myla Goldberg has created a world of lovable misfits, a world whose inhabitants search for meaning outside the realm of suburban drudgery and the struggles of everyday living. These quests lead Goldberg's characters down highly-unexpected paths, taking her readers on a ride that is at times funny, at times frightening, and always magical and inventive.

Lennar Knocks Down Optimism
Updated from 10:19 a.m. EDT
Lennar (LEN) posted a big drop in first-quarter numbers and withdrew its earnings goal for the year, saying new orders are being hurt by problems in the subprime lending market.
Shares of the homebuilder recently were down 97 cents, or 2.2%, to $43.57.
The Miami-based company earned $69 million, or 43 cents a share, for the quarter ended Feb. 28, down from $258 million, or $1.58 a share, a year earlier. Sales slid to $2.79 billion from $3.24 billion a year earlier.Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial expected a profit of 43 cents a share and sales of $2.49 billion. While the earnings met expectations, the company's new orders fell sharply, disappointing some analysts. First-quarter net orders fell 27% from a year earlier, much worse than the 2% increase that Bank of America analyst Daniel Oppenheim expected. The large order drop came despite the fact that Lennar is offering aggressive incentives to move homes. Orders were weakest in the Central region, dropping 34% from last year. This region includes Arizona, Colorado and Texas. To put the decline in perspective, over the past year Lennar has been drastically reducing prices on its homes to clear inventory and using the proceeds to pay off debt and strengthen its balance sheet.

Linus: If I am elected school president, I will purge the kingdom! My administration will release us from our spiritual Babylon! My administration will bring down the false idols in high places! My administration will...The Student Council President (seitokaicho in Japanese) is the Club President for the Absurdly Powerful Student Council, and the Class Representative for the whole school. Depending on the series, he or she may be a Supporting Leader, the Alpha Bitch, the Big Bad, The Messiah, The Ojou, Sheltered Aristocrat, a Magnificent Bastard or just another student. Note that some of these tropes can overlap. The British version (in certain schools) is the Head Boy/Girl, who's in charge of the prefects (student volunteers with various roles). The stereotype is for them to be either a nigh-perfect Big Man on Campus Renaissance Man/Woman, or the toadying epitome of the Teacher's Pet, and either way to be destined for a career in politics. Mixed schools may have one of each, who may or may not be a Ruling Couple. In terms of rank, about the only authority tropes arguably as low as this are the Landlord and the Class Representative.

I should have known sorority life was not for me.
My gut reaction was telling as I walked down the checkerboard floors of the veranda at the Carolina Inn. I sat at a small table, one of 20 or so, in one of the Inn's elegantly furnished banquet halls. I was provided with a glass of water, a box of tissues, an index card on which to list my sorority preference, and an attentive alumna ready to help me make my choice. It was the fourth and final day of rush at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and I had a decision to make. Having only been called back by one sorority out of 10, I would have to choose whether or not Greek life would be a part of my experience as a student. I hesitated as I ran my finger across the blank space on the card where my signature would be. I signed my name and then I cried.
As a young woman born and raised in North Carolina, attending UNC had always been a dream of mine. In the fall of 2011, I took my chance and transferred in as a junior. I tried to do all the things a new Tar Heel is supposed to do, including rushing a sorority. Close to 12 percent of UNC Chapel Hill's undergraduate students go Greek, but, surrounded by fraternity and sorority houses, the campus seemed optimized for Greek life. So, I became a part of a system that not only promoted outdated gender stereotypes and an attitude of exclusion, but is also correlated with members having increased episodes of poor self-esteem and disordered eating. And during the spring of 2012, these tendencies of the Greek system came barreling into my personal life, when my sorority sisters started discriminating against me because of my weight.
The night I joined, I barely had a clue what a huge impact being involved in a sorority was going to have on the next few years of my life. I knew that I was joining a group that almost 9 percent of undergraduate women were a part of in the United States and I knew about the purported benefits of having a built-in network after graduation. What I didn't know was how stressful and demoralizing the experience would be for me. From the outside of the beautiful sorority and fraternity houses that surrounded my campus, I couldn't see the sexism and discrimination that waited inside.
From the minute I got my "bid" (my formal offer to join), I felt like I didn't belong in my sorority. I was an outsider who had somehow gotten the code for the lock on the door. It was obvious that a few of my new "sisters" didn't want me there and that there was a standard of womanhood that I would need to meet to be accepted. If I had been thinking clearly, I would have left, but something kept me there, made it matter way too much to me. I wanted to belong and to find new friends in an unfamiliar city.
I've always had issues with my weight, but I had always done what I wanted to do, regardless of what my body looked like. My sorority put my positive body image to the test. We were supposed to wear coordinated outfits for rush, and the sisters in charge of putting them together had, for the most part, chosen pieces that I could not wear. Most did not come in a size larger than 12 (which would be a problem for a few of the women in my sorority, not just me). When this came to light, instead of letting me pick my own clothes, or finding something similar to what they'd chosen in my size, they chose to put me in a "kitchen job" where I wouldn't be seen by the potential new members as they went through the house. Even though they technically included me by giving me something to do, I felt betrayed, like they were hiding me because I didn't fit the perfect image of a woman they were trying to project. I should have been angry, but first I felt ashamed. The anger came later, when my guilt and frustration was met by sisters who acted as if I should suck it up, be happy they gave me anything to do, consider myself lucky to be part of such an exclusive group in the first place.
Research has shown that women with higher BMIs have a bad experience even before joining a sorority—they report more negative feelings during rush. Studies show that sorority membership has a negative effect on eating behavior and correlates with disordered eating. Although sorority members have lower average BMIs than the rest of the population, researchers believe that it is partially because of the increased social pressure for thinness.
Former Daily Tar Heel editor Henry Gargan says in his article for Thrill City about UNC Greek life that the system itself permits discriminatory actions, regardless of individuals' intentions. These discriminatory actions, in my case, were not just about what my body looked like, but the fact that I, as a woman, wasn't serving my implicit purpose of attracting fraternity men. Where male and female relationships are concerned, Gargan argues that the system caters to privileged individuals (especially men) and that "the relationship between fraternities and sororities is hierarchical and reinforces the subservience of women." Sororities serve as a kind of finishing school where fraternity men can have their pick of equally privileged but subservient women. "The codes of sexual and romantic conduct between sororities and fraternities," Gargan maintains, "deprive sorority women of the agency ideally enjoyed by both parties of a romantic relationship."

The LED-lit One Raffles Place Tower Two is a worthy successor to its taller neighbor, One Raffles Place Tower One, with a flair for environmentally advanced design. Located right in the heat of the bustling downtown of Singapore's financial district, the tower's 38 gleaming, LED-illuminated stories tell the tale of a new breed of buildings that are designed to do more with less. The building, which achieved the Green Mark Platinum Award, is the work of SAA and Paul Noritaka Tange, the son of the Pritzker Prize-winning architect Kenzo Tange.
The new building provides a counterpoint to its older sibling with an angular slope and a lot of windows. The cross bracing is very reminiscent of the famous Bank of Hong Kong Tower, which is further emphasized by the facade's LED lighting, and in the building's relationship to its boxy neighbors. The inside is where the real green design kicks in, starting with natural lighting. Automated sensors, which are located throughout the entire building, regulate temperature and lighting to maximize energy savings. And an efficient HVAC system is complimented by a solar array. Sustainable materials are also listed as a key attribute to the building's environmental goals.
Unfortunately, information about how the actually systems work are unavailable. We would love to see the design firms brag about the tower's environmental impact as much as they do the building's aesthetics. Achieving the Singapore Building and Construction Authority Green Mark Platinum Award is impressive at this scale though, and sets the standard for all new skyscrapers in the highly-urbanized nation.

For the seventh year in a row, the county is allowed 15 trained hunters to kill deer in the South Mountain and Hilltop reservations.

Computer chips that bridge the gap between the electronic and the biological could make detection of certain chemicals easier, and speed disease diagnosis. But first, researchers must develop technologies to mass produce DNA circuits as they produce chip circuits today.
The technique that Lee and Guan used is similar to a relatively inexpensive chip-making technology called soft lithography, where rubber molds press materials into shape.
In this study, they arranged the DNA into rows of "stitches," pinstripes and criss-cross shapes.
The pinstripes presented the researchers with a mystery: for some reason, thorn-like structures emerged along the strands at regular intervals.
"We think the 'thorns' may be used as interconnects between nanowires, or they could connect the nanowires with other electronic components," Guan said. "We are not trying to eliminate them, because we do not think they are defects. We also believe their formation is controllable, because they are almost completely absent in some experiments but abundant in others. Although we currently do not know exactly how the thorns form, maybe new and useful nanostructures may be created if we can better understand and control this process."
The university will license the technology for further development. Lee and Guan are working on their first application ?building the wires into sensors for detecting disease biomarkers. In the meantime, they are collaborating with researchers in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Ohio State to measure the electrical properties of the DNA wires. They are also using this technique to produce DNA-based nanoparticles for gene delivery.

Top Local Tips for Lisdoonvarna
Bring raingear Bring waterproof shoes or boots, and a warm coat. We were here in August, and it rained the whole time, It isn't that it was so cold 45 degrees to 50 but you just feel damp then cold. Raingear is essentual. Jeans are ok to wear, but they don't dry out very fast, something to consider. When I am talking raingear, I mean rain pants also. If you are going to get the most of your vacation, it's not going to be like at home. Here you will be out in the rain all day, if you want to see anything, When is the last time you walked around in the rain all day? That is what you should prepare for!!

Rock the Boat (Hues Corporation song)
|"Rock the Boat"
|Single by Hues Corporation
|from the album Freedom for the Stallion
|"Rock the Boat"
|"All Goin' Down Together"

RCA's Music Center of te World
(Hollywood, California)
|Soul, pop, disco
3:22 (LP version)3:08 (single version)
|Waldo Holmes
|John Florez
"Rock the Boat" is a disco song by American group Hues Corporation in 1974. "Rock the Boat" was written by Waldo Holmes, who also wrote the Blacula songs.
"Rock the Boat" was first featured on the Hues Corporation's 1973 album, Freedom for the Stallion (a different edit version, which was the single, later appeared on certain editions of the band's follow-up album, 1974's Rockin' Soul).[1] and was released as the second single from the album in early 1974 to follow-up Stallion's title song, which had peaked at #63 on the Hot 100. Initially, "Rock the Boat" appeared as though it would flop, as months went by without any radio airplay or sales activity. Not until the song became a disco/club favorite in New York did Top 40 radio finally pick up on the song, leading the record to finally enter the Hot 100 and zip up the chart to #1 the week of July 6, 1974, in only its seventh week on the chart (and fourth week in the Top 40). The record also reached the top 10 in the United Kingdom (number 6). It is a heavy airplay favorite on oldie and adult-contemporary stations today.
The song features a lead vocal by Fleming Williams, who left the Hues Corporation shortly after the song was recorded. According to The Billboard Book of Number One Hits by Fred Bronson, the lone female member of the group, H. Ann Kelly, had originally been pegged to sing lead, but this idea was discarded out of fear that groups with female lead singers were less commercially viable. The song also features an important post-Motown performance of James Jamerson.
Hues Corporation member St. Clair Lee claims "It was a song that you could do anything on. You could cuddle or you could get crazy if you wanted to. It was a love song without being a love song. But, it was a Disco hit and it happened because of the discos."[2]
The 'Rock the Boat' dance also a favourite at weddings and birthday parties and involves many people sitting down in a row and 'rowing' a boat to the tune of the song.
Samples and covers[edit]
"Rock the Boat" was covered in 1982 by the Dutch/American singer Forrest Thomas. His version also made the UK top five (number 4) and the top 10 of the American Dance/Disco chart. Jacob Miller and the Inner Circle cut a reggae version of the song in 1974.
There is a reference to the song's distinctive bridge in Jurassic 5 track "Concrete Schoolyard".
Richard Finch of KC and the Sunshine Band has said that "Rock The Boat" played a partial role in inspiring the hit "Rock Your Baby".[3] The song was also featured in the 1996 film The Cable Guy, the 1999 film Man on the Moon, a commercial for M&M's, and (sung in character by Seth MacFarlane as Glenn Quagmire, Patrick Warburton as Joe Swanson, and Mike Henry as Cleveland Brown) the Family Guy episode A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas.The song appeared in the 1997 movie The Devil's Own with Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt.

Not well Manufactured
By Jerri from Mobile Al on Nov 20, 2012
Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
Before purchasing this item I read several reviews. Some were good and some were bad. I wish I had listened to the bad reviews. Did not seem like a big deal at the time I read the review, but post purchase I can see how the problems I had read about are such a big deal. The wood itself is very thin and seems like we may only get a couple years out of it. Nothing is labeled, didn't think it would be a big deal until after purchase and see why so many others had complained about it. Spent 5 hours trying to figure out which parts were what. Most of the pilot holes are all off so when you try to re drill the hole to match up, it throws all the other pieces off. Another reason it took so long to match up pieces, because pilot holes did not match. We have hired a professional to put this together and he is now on his fourth day. The customer service department is very nice and seem to want to try to help with replacement parts, but even then the wood is so thin and soft, this will not last long. I am extremely disappointing and wish i could return it, but can now see why they do not accept returns. If you ever listen to a review, listen to this one or the many others about this set.

Cook County suits allege predatory lending by HSBC, Bank of America
BY KIM JANSSEN Federal Courts Reporter March 31, 2014 8:32PM
AP file photo
Updated: May 2, 2014 6:28AM
Cook County has launched a pair lawsuits against two major banks, alleging that they helped cause the Chicago region's foreclosure crisis by deliberately marketing predatory loans to black and Latino borrowers.
HSBC, Bank of America and its subsidiaries including Countrywide and Merrill Lynch all badly hurt black and Latino neighborhoods when they disproportionately targeted minority homebuyers for subprime loans with higher interest rates and fees, the county claims.
Black and Latino homeowners in many cases lost their homes when they ended up paying "hundreds of dollars more each month in mortgage payments" than they otherwise would have, according to the lawsuits, which are similar to those brought in other cities, including Baltimore, Cleveland and Memphis.
"This predatory lending crisis caused tremendous tangible and intangible damage, particularly to African American and Latino communities," Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, who filed the federal complaints with Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez, said in a news release Monday.
"These practices led to the erosion of the tax base, the loss of property tax revenue, out-of-pocket costs relating to abandoned or vacant properties, and other damages to the fabric of the communities and residents arising from the resulting urban blight," Preckwinkle continued in the release. Apart from that release, Preckwinkle and the state's attorney's office did not comment on the lawsuits.
In some cases, the suits allege, HSBC approved loans to Chicago area borrowers who worked as gardeners or worked at McDonald's but reported $90,000 in annual income.
In others, brokers of a Bank of America subsidiary used computer programs to search phone records for Hispanic names, then took advantage of borrowers' poor English language skills to sell loans, safe in the knowledge that their bonuses were based on the number of mortgages they sold, not the likelihood that the loan would be repaid, it's alleged.
Abuses in the subprime loans by housing lenders have long been held responsible for the 2007 credit market crash, and Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan in 2011 won a $335 million settlement from Countrywide after she teamed up with the Department of Justice and attorneys general in other states in a similar suit.
But Cook County — which is being represented by law firms Harris Penn Lowry and James D. Montgomery & Associates — has been given heart by recent rulings against banks in Georgia, and officials think it has a good chance of winning a claim of its own.
A Federal Reserve report previously found that on average African-American borrowers were 3.1 times more likely than white borrowers to receive a higher-rate home loan and Latino borrowers were 1.9 times more likely to receive a higher rate. Even once credit scores and other factors were taken into account, minorities paid far more, the report found.
Cook County's lawsuits say those patterns were mirrored in and around Chicago.
Though less than a quarter of the county's homes were owned and occupied by minorities between 2004 and 2007, the lawsuits allege, nearly half of the loans Countrywide issued there during those years were to minorities. Nearly two-thirds of the most expensive subprime loans were sold to minorities, it's alleged.
Statistics at some Bank of America subsidiaries were even starker. At First Franklin, which worked with Merrill Lynch, 99 percent of the priciest Chicago area loans were given to minorities, the lawsuit states.
"Empirical data demonstrates that Defendants made a substantially greater percentage of their total mortgage loans and of their high cost, subprime . . . mortgage loans to minority borrowers beyond what the racial makeup of Plaintiff's communities and neighborhoods would otherwise indicate was appropriate on a non-discriminatory basis," the lawsuit states. "These differences cannot be explained by differences in borrower credit score or other objective criteria."
The lawsuit alleges Bank of America "effectively conceded their liability" by settling prior cases, though the settlements contained no admissions of wrongdoing. In an emailed statement Monday evening, a Bank of America spokesman said: "We have not had an opportunity to fully analyze this complaint, but based on similar suits that have been filed against multiple lenders in Cook County and other municipalities, we believe our record will demonstrate there is no basis for the claims."
HSBC could not be reached for comment.

"That's a question we've never answered," he said. "At the end of the day, it's not time to even talk about those things for various different reasons. You know Nintendo, who's still our silent partner, a lot of people don't know that, we have a great relationship with those guys. It's not time to talk about Eternal Darkness 2." Dyack went on to say that, despite some reports to the contrary, SK has never announced ED2 to be in development.
Dyack also discussed his one console theory, and how the consolidation of the developers and publishers support his claim that the industry is moving towards a one-console future, adding that Silicon Knights is not opposed to being acquired by a publisher. He also said that the company's next game will be "very different" from Too Human, declining to elaborate further.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- A man is in the hospital fighting for his life after witnesses say he was stabbed.
Police got to the scene at 2222 MLK Jr. Avenue, near the Taylor Home Apartments, just after 7 PM Saturday.
A witness tells Local 8 News a group of men jumped out of a gray truck and attacked the man.
That's when the man grabbed a broken beer bottle to try and protect himself.
We're told one of the guys said he was going to come back with a gun, but the victim was stabbed two times.
He is at UT Medical Center with life threatening injuries.
Police are still investigating what happened.
