Raman Spectroscopic Investigation of Thorium Dioxide-Uranium Dioxide (ThO2-UO2) Fuel Materials
Applied Spectroscopy, Vol. 68, Issue 1, pp. 44-48 (2014)
Acrobat PDF (107 KB)
Raman spectroscopic investigations were carried out on proposed nuclear fuel thorium dioxide-uranium dioxide (ThO2-UO2) solid solutions and simulated fuels based on ThO2-UO2. Raman spectra of ThO2-UO2 solid solutions exhibited two-mode behavior in the entire composition range. Variations in mode frequencies and relative intensities of Raman modes enabled estimation of composition, defects, and oxygen stoichiometry in these compounds that are essential for their application. The present study shows that Raman spectroscopy is a simple, promising analytical tool for nondestructive characterization of this important class of nuclear fuel materials.

Hummingbird Migration Map
The new 2013 spring migration map.
Here is a link that might be useful: Rubythroat spring migration 2013
There is this excellent map as well! I like to follow both... http://www.learner.org/jnorth/maps/humm_ruby_spring2013.html
Waiting for first documented sightings of hummingbirds south of Boston. Multiple feeders, including window feeders up since March 19. Suspect several quick "fly-bys" but no landings to confirm. Much later than last year. Usually find them feeding on small insects in Boxwood bushes at this time for protein. Nothing there yet either! Any sightings in my area?
Have several field science students looking as well!
Hello fellow hummer watchers! Is it too early to put feeders out in central Maryland? I just started last year, and did have a visitor or two late spring and thru summer, but was wondering if I had put them out earlier, would I have had more? I'd appreciate any advice from seasoned watchers.
Here in Rockport Texas the hummers are really feeding heavily getting ready to head up north. I think that they are a little late this year in migrating due to the cold spring. I've gone through a gallon of sugar water in the past couple of days. However, I am also feeding Baltimore Orioles the sugar water. Talked to my parents on the Tippecanoe River Indiana, and they haven't seen any yet.

New Pool Build in Northeast. Need Advice
First off, this forum has provided me with a wealth of info for a new pool we are looking to build this summer. Thanks so much for the info.
We are in the final stages of negotiation with three companies in Massachusetts and would love anyone's feedback on:
1) Feedback on 3 Pool Builders in Mass
2) What are the gotchas?
3) Do we really need the extras?
1) Pool Builders in Mass
We've received quotes and proposals and narrowed down our choice to the following three companies. We've been happy with all three so looking for any inside info. Pricewise everyone has been about the same except EP which has been higher.
- Pools by Andrews
- Environmental Pools
- South Shore Gunite
2) What are the gotchas?
Additionally, what are the "gotchas" we should be looking for when getting quotes that could make the difference in our decision? Extra electrical, # of returns, cleaning system, etc
QUOTE EXAMPLE - Approx 40K w Spa
Pavers/Stamped Concrete, Fence not included (all about $12SF for Stamped and $14-15 for pavers)
18 x 38 pool  3 to 8 Ft depth  Shape : Custom
 Computer Aided Designed - Engineered Plans and Specifications
 Swimming Pool Construction and Electrical permits
 Excavation, Layout and wood Forming of Pool - 2 days Included
 2 loads gravel
 Safety Main Drain with Hydrostatic Relief Valve
 Engineered Concrete 12" Gunite "Bond Beam "construction to meet or exceed city/town codes
 Cantilever Style Coping Edge INcluded
 One (1) 6" band of Frost proof tile - standard set to choose
 3 Step Grand Stair Entry with 1ea 4 ft of bench
 6 x 18"deep end seating benches
 White Plaster Interior Pool Finish
 Sta-Rite Modular Filter and Sta-Rite Pump
 2 ea Surface Skimmers and required returns
 Weatherproof Time clocks  Intermatic
 Electrical Bonding and Equipment Wiring up to 60ft from existing adequate power Source.
 Complete hookup of all waterlines from filter to pool including hose bib at pump
 One (1) MDX Anti Entrapment Dual Suction Breaker main Drain - Pentair SVRS variable speed pump - meets new Federally Mandated anti entrapment safety code
 2ea. 500 Watt Underwater SAM Light (100 ft cord) with conduit and deck Box
 Deluxe Cleaning tools  Hand Leaf skimmer , 16 telescopic pole, 18" nylon brush, Vacuum head, Test kit and thermometer, Safety ropes and floats
 Full Pool and equipment instructions
 Written "Lifetime Structural Warranty"
 8ft Diameter 8 Jets Spa with Step, light, bench, Floor Bubblers  MDX Anti-entrapment Safety Main Drain . Meets all ANSI Safety Codes.
 Sta Rite 400K Heater for pool and spa
 Extra electrical is about $700
3) Do we really need the extras?
These extras drive up the costs. DO WE REALLY NEED?
 Salt Purification System - $ 1800.00. Worth it?
 PCC 200 Cleaning and Circulation System - $ 4800.00. Shouldn't the pump move around the water from a heat perspective?
 Pebbletec -$3600+. Won't the standard gunite be OK?
Thanks so much
Check with the township engineer about the prevalent soil conditions first! If he suggests getting a soils engineer, do it! Better to know ahead of time of any special considerations you may need to deal with that will cost you.
Get a completed by date with penalties for failure.
Check references. Check the subs too!
Have the contract checked by an attorney 1st!
Make them spell out the size rebar, spacing, and floor/wall thickness. How much extra rebar for the bond beam?
If they hit rock or a high water table during the dig? Make them spell it out.
It's a paver deck, how/why are they quoting a canterlevered coping? Get matching coping to the pavers.
3 steps might be a bit high for Grand Parents and other older guests.
Is 60' for the electrical and bonding sufficient? $700 for additional Electrical? What additional?
But 100' to the deck box for the lights? They come with shorter cords at substantial savings.
I smell up charge.
SAMs aren't 500 watts. Go with two Intellibrites. They last longer and have better color dispersement.
You'll need an SDX to go with the MDX. They can be tied together. No single points of suction below the water line.. The spa will need an MDX and SDX also.
Make sure the vac head is rectangular and has wheels. If it has brushes, it's meant for liners. Make them break it down fully as to what they are providing you. A liner vac head is useless in a gunite pool.
Expect to buy a much better water testing kit. The will give you a phenol red pH and OTO test kit. You will need to know more about your pool's chem levels than pH and Total chlorine.
Intellichlor with an EasyTouch controller is about as much installed as the want just for the salt cell. Call him on it. EasyTouch will make your life easier when it comes to controlling and scheduling the pump speeds and times, lights, salt cell, and spa. An iS10 spa side controller and wireless controller.
A Pentair Legend cleaner instead of the floor system. Costs a lot less, is easy to use, is durable, is easier and less costly to winterize and the cost savings can go elsewhere in the budget. The Easy Touch can control it too.
If you want deep heat, have them install valves so the return flow can be sent to the drains.
Gunite is the shell, white plaster is the standard finish that makes the shell water tight. Expect about 10 years of life from it. The PebbleTec U/G will last at least twice that, more like 3 or 4 times that. Make sure it specifies PebbleTec and not Pebble finish. That seems a bit low for a PebbleTec u/g. If it is, jump on it.
Is there a ladder or swim out on the deep end?
Can't answer on the specs except to say that my pebble tec in MA 10 years ago was 3K (20X40 pool) so that is a good price...here in NC for smaller pool it was 13K! The white plaster will stain and you will probably regret not upgrading. We loved our PT pool...have gray plaster here and are happy with that too.
My next door neighbors in MA used Env. Pools. They got a good pool, and were happy, but the construction was very, very drawn out...several months. You would be wise to get completion dates w/penalties if you use them.
Wow, some great info. Thanks. Will discuss w PBs one by one but your great answers brings up a few more questions.
* As an alternative to the PCC2000 system, do you think it's worth it to get 10 floor heads installed instead at a cost of $2600 to distribute heat? Or save the money and rely on the pumps and auto cleaner?
* Are two pumps even necessary? What if I had two main drains instead? One of the three builders is recommending this route that eliminates the need for a single SVRS (and the second pump)
* Asking the PB about the EasyTouch. Been wondering how I was gonna control all this stuff.
* Intellibrites. Thanks for the suggestion.
I looked at the same 3 companies. I went with Andrews. Environmental's references weren't the greatest. South Shore and Andrews came out about the same, but Andrews upgraded me to pavers for the same price. That was the deciding factor for me. South Shore quoted a 5 year warranty on all the equipment versus the standard 1-3 year manufacturer's warranty. I was more interestedin the pavers.
Andrews recommends the PV3 in-floor system. Still trying to find out exactly what the difference is between that and the PCC2000. My quote for the PV3 is $3300. I'm getting it mostly to recirculate the water from the bottom. If it gets most of the dirt in the pool, so much the better. We have a big tree in the neighbor's yard, so we'll get lots of leaves. I don't expect any in floor system to handle it all, so I will supplement with another cleaning system.
I'm also plumbing for a separate pump for a Polaris, but I'm not going to get one right away. My sister is a fanatic about her pool and she loves their dolphin advantage robot. I will probably get one instead of the Polaris, but I wanted to do the plumbing just in case.
I'm still debating on the variable speed pump. With a 1.5hp pump, I'll get about 120gpm. I can turn my whole pool over in about 3 hours. I'm waiting to see what flow rate the PV3 system needs to do a good cleaning job. If it's high enough, I'll probably stick with the single speed pump and run it occasionally throughout the day. Otherwise, I may go to a variable speed and run it longer but slower.
I am also going with LED lights. I want to match the colors with my Laminar water features, so I want them both from the same manufacturer. I haven't decided on Pentair versus Jandy yet.
We'll have a dual main drain, so Andrews says I don't need an SVRS.
Boy the economy is really helping you. We had Andrews do a pool in 2008, and we spent about 75K by the time it was done with no spa!
The pool they built is beautiful, but it was a bit of a stressful time during the build, although, I think Andrews may be the best of the bunch when it comes to the whole process. A neighbor used Environmental and they plumbed the spa wrong and they are stuck with it. We also got a quote from South Shore, and just didn't like the salesman. Ferrari would have built a nice pool for us too, but the seemed handle their subs differently. Andrews said they use no subs, but they really do, they just report to Andrews, and Andrews keeps a close eye on what they do. Turns out their subs were great.
The big worry for us was how much extra $ we could spend if they hit ledge. You don't know what is under your lawn. We totally lucked out, we just knew there was going to be ledge, but when they hit it, we just decided to flip the design of the pool - deep end to the shallow end, and they kept digging, No extra $ for dynamite or rock splitting. We got exposed aggregate decking which we love. We also did the Pebble tec, and love it. We have a little waterfall. We have the salt generating system, and a Polaris. Jerrith fencing surrounds the pool. We have an electric heater. Things I would change if I could:
1. Add a pool filling jet from our well, rather than dragging the hose over when the water level drops due to summer evaporation.
2. Deeper and wider deep end with a diving rock. Even though they tell you not to do this because of safety/insurance issues, guests and kids just assume the pool is deep enough for diving, and they dive off the side.
3. LED color changing lights. It would look so great at night.
4. Even though we paid extra for a significantly larger deck surround, I wish it was even bigger. You spend a lot of time there, and it feels smaller than it is.
I can't think of more now. I don't know how to post pictures, but I could email you one.
Good Luck!
jfitz0807 and emh8, thanks for the Andrews comments. We've been really happy with them so far. We're hoping to make the final decision tonight/tomorrow as we get in the final proposals.
In negotiating w Andrews, what would you say we should look out for when doing the final contract? Any language we should add? Any extra we should push for? WOuld love to know this over the next 24 hours.
I think we'll do the LED lights also. Andrews says the same thing about not needing an SVRS because they do two drains.
EMH, would love to see you pics. Feel free to email me via my profile.
Where in Mass are you located? You are welcome to come see our pool and equipment in Southern NH. You might consider Quality Pools in Nashua. They were slow too but the quality of the pool was good. I think you have to stay on top of all of these pool builders to be sure you get what you want when you want it.
Here are some other things to give thought to:
1) Make sure you give thought to where you want the equipment pad
2) Test out how hot those pavers/stamped concrete get on a hot day.
3) We get a full 6 months out of our pool by having it covered. We did opt for an auto-cover as well and happy we did.
4) We like the salt water chlorine generation system - less maintenance - easy to maintain sanitation at good level
5) Oversize cartridge filter has resulted in not having to clean the cartridges mid season and they have lasted two seasons so far
6) Auto-fill is a nice option that also minimizes care/maintenance
7) Add more lights if you can swing it.
OK, the decisions has been made after a crazy few weeks of negotiation among all three. Signed today with South Shore Gunite.
Any of the the three could have had our business over the last 7 days as we thought all were able. Andrews had great reviews from folks in our area and Environment came in strong with initial design and its backyard architect.
But South Shore gave the greatest mix of offerings. The deal breaker was SSG's 5 year warranty which gives us piece of mind. Basically, everything is covered. The others agreed to match but I question whether they could really do that as SSG has the process down and does everything in house. Andrews and Environment sub a lot of stuff....especially Andrews. SSG also services it's pools which gives them more of an incentive to make you happy. Environmental does this also.
Re pricing, trying to compare apples to apples is virtually impossible with these guys if you have never built a pool before. Some include electrical, others don't. Some allow for water, some don't, etc. Thank god for this forum for educating me on some of the things to look for. We got all three close and ended up going with the company we felt most comfortable with.
Hi -we're just starting the process again and are interested in using South Shore (we had gone through this whole thing a few years ago and they were by far our favorite though we didn't end up building then). Since our pool size/design is exactly what you have listed above, I am wondering if that quote was from South Shore and what if anything did you negotiate the last week (did they come down in any of the above)? This seems like a great price for this size pool - and we'd love to hear how the process is going for you. Did they start on time? The designer will be coming out later this week to talk to us - so any thoughts would be appreciated.
westma. The process of choosing a PB can be challanging because they all sell something a little different and agressively sell against one another. They also play the shell game with pricing.
We are just startin our PB now. Digging Monday with fingers crossed.
Permits came in last week and we are documenting the build at:
The above specs above were actually from another vendor. Our updated specs are in our PB link
If you are looking for an amazing design, SSG probably isn't the fit. We saw alot better designs from Environment and Andrews during the proposal stage but have yet to see that vison from SSG. Most of the design comes from me using powerpoint and a basic 3D image from SSG. We've been a bit disappointed about that but we're hoping SSG is everything their references say----quality. They also have a great warranty and do all their own work without subs. We'll see once the build starts.
Yes, we did some negotiating and having other quotes helped. But it's a shell game with any of these guys.
Thanks for this - we went through the same thing 5 years ago and were amazed at the differences in pricing from various companies. We just like it that South Shore doesn't subcontract and is able to do the patio if we want them to. Good to think about the issues with the design as we move forward.
The pricing seems more competitive than it was 5 years ago - I don't think a lot of people are building pools right now (especially as they can all get right out to start once the permitting is done). We're meeting with one of the designers next week.
Can't wait to see your pool build - thanks for posting the other link and pictures there.
Just following up on the pool build.
We just finished this past weekend when the pool opened. SSG was everything we had hoped in terms of quality. The crews were professional, management was great, the timing was efficient and we know we got a great quality pool build. They did all the work themselves and didn't subcontract anything except the electric.
There only thing we ran into revolved around after-the-fact change requests. SSG is definately not on the cheaper/reasonable side when it comes to additions. Recommend negotiating as much in advance on afterthought items like water fall features, additional backfill, etc.
Hi Cutter 2010,
I am almost ready to sign with a pool builder. I have it narrowed down to South Shore Gunite and Doherty Pool & Spa. I live in Wrentham ,MA.
Right now I feel like I could just flip a coin. It's so hard to compare and I believe either one would probably build a good pool.
Could you give me some feedback on SSG? Are you happy with the Pool and overall end result? Was the pool building process ok? Any regrets? Of course, any additional advice or information or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Doug (buzz2)

Rapid Reaction: Indiana 58, Temple 52
March, 24, 2013
By Eamonn Brennan | ESPN.com
DAYTON, Ohio -- Quick reaction to Indiana's 58-52 win over Temple:
Overview: If it seemed impossible for Dayton's second Round of 32 game to live up to the thrill of the first, think again: Another top seed was sent to the ropes by a game challenger -- in this case, the Temple Owls and their fearless star Khalif Wyatt -- and another huge shot in the final moments was the difference between a massive upset and a survive-and-advance moment for No. 1 seed Indiana.
Turning point: With just over two minutes left to play, Temple's floor spacing once again left the Hoosiers' interior exposed, and forward Anthony Lee caught the ball near the rim for what appeared to be an easy two-handed dunk -- one that would have put Temple up by four. Instead, Christian Watford made a from-nowhere block and came up with the ball in the ensuing scramble.
Just 60 seconds later, after Victor Oladipo caught a long Wyatt rebound and got a full head of steam in the open court, Wyatt anticipated his crossover and timed his defensive slide perfectly -- and was called for a questionable foul that sent Oladipo to the line.
His one make -- and an ensuing stop by the Hoosiers -- set Indiana's Oladipo up to make the wide-open 3 that put IU up by four with just 15 seconds left.
Key player: Wyatt. Yes, Wyatt played for the losing team, but so what? He was the reason Temple was even in this tournament, let alone this game -- he scored 31 of his team's 52 points (on 12-of-24 shooting and 9-of-12 from inside the arc) in an often breathtaking display of old-school scoring craft -- and almost single-handedly controlled the game with his "I got this" mentality. He smiled, he talked, he thrilled at the stage, and it's a performance we shouldn't overlook.
Key stat: The game was in the balance in large part because the Owls did everything they needed to halt Indiana's efficient offense: They held the Hoosiers' shooters to just 19-of-45 on the afternoon and just 4-of-13 from 3, and they avoided turnovers of their own, preventing the Hoosiers from playing in the fast break. But for free throws -- of which IU shot 20 and made 16 -- Temple handled Indiana's attack as well as any team this season.
What's next: Indiana moves on to the Washington, D.C., regional Sweet 16; Temple ends its season 24-11.

Except for the Pork Ribs which is fortunately available in Dubai (Spinneys Market). If Pork Ribs is not available in your country (most of the countries Middle East), then you can use Beef Ribs instead. Although, Beef require longer time to tenderize.

Asian Shares Rally Despite U.S. Growth Concerns
The Vanguard founder and former chairman on the average investor's odds with private equity, hedge funds, and commodities, including gold.
The GMO chief strategist highlights the factors behind the market's bullish bias, abnormally high corporate earnings, current valuation levels, a slowdown in productivity, and the great paradigm shift in natural resources.
Vanguard founder John Bogle on strategic beta, alternatives, and narrowly focused index funds.
Roundtable Report: At the outset of 2014, Morningstar strategists dig into the market's current valuation and expected return, seek out high-quality U.S. and foreign stock opportunities, size up the role of cash today, assess the Fed's impact on the market, and reveal the best ways to fight inflation.
Passive equity funds, noncore bonds, alternatives, and many of the fund shops that sell them fared well last year, while core bonds, commodities, and gold suffered.
After Bill Miller steps down from Legg Mason Value Trust this month, new manager Sam Peters says investors will still see continuity in the portfolio strategy but should expect some differences.
It was tough for active managers to outpace Vanguard's low-cost index funds in 2014, and many of its active funds also outperformed.
While duration exposure remains troublesome, large-scale bank deleveraging in the last year has credit markets looking ripe for investment, says Driehaus' K.C. Nelson.

'Jom Naik Tangga' : An alternative for adopting active lifestyle at work place Zainal A Omar ,N Azah Daud & M Ismail Samad Ministry of Health Malaysia Keywords: Non communicable disease, workplace, stairs. The management of all chronic conditions – noncommunicable diseases (NCD) such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer and chronic pulmonary diseases, long-term mental disorders, and certain communicable diseases such as HIV/AIDS – is one of the greatest challenges facing health care systems throughout the world. Currently, chronic conditions are responsible for 60% of the global disease burden. They are increasing such that by the year 2020 developing countries can expect 80% of their disease burden to come from chronic problems. In Malaysia, chronic non communicable diseases were among the top 10 causes of admissions in government hospitals. They account for 60% of disease burden in health clinics. The chronic diseases particularly diabetes and hypertension are showing an increasing trend over the years. Beside, studies also showed the increasing trend of NCD risk factors like obesity, smoking, unhealthy diet, sedentary lifestyle and pre diabetes condition. Most chronic conditions are preventable. Additionally, many of the complications of chronic conditions can be prevented. Strategies for reducing onset and complications include early detection and early intervention through increasing physical activity, smoking cessation and adopting healthy eating. Prevention should be a component of every health care interaction. Podium Sessions 2 Taking the stairs is one way to be more physically active. At work, employees are often presented with a choice between taking the stairs and taking an elevator or escalator. Choosing the stairs instead of the elevator is a quick way for people to add physical activity to their day. One of the reasons employees may not use the stairs at work is because they perceive them as unattractive and/or unsafe. The Ministry of Health Malaysia conducted a 'Jom Naik Tangga' program, in 2007 to motivate employees to choose climbing stairs as a way of being active at work. The 'Jom Naik Tangga' Program, consisted of a four-stage passive intervention. Physical improvements of the stairs by putting motivational signs, health facts and artwork frame. Monitoring of stairs usage via finger print biometric system and physical activity calender. Monitoring of workers health status via a comprehensive physical, biochemical and fitness status assessment. Launching of the "Jom Naik Tangga' campaign to promote the program to the employees. It is envisaged that through the introduction of the climbing stairs at work place, will encourage workers to be more active and adopt the healthy lifestyle so that the prevalence of chronic diseases can be reduced and controlled.

One of the most obvious perks of growing your own food is the ability to bring the high-flavor, quality fruits and vegetables to every meal. But how do you savor this privilege when the days shorten and snow takes hold of the ground? It's quite simple, by storing the produce. Potatoes, apples, carrots, squash and many other vegetables and fruits can be stored for 2 months (really!) to keep your taste buds happy and your body well-nourished until the next growing season.
Essentials of storing crops successfully
When it comes to storage, not all crops fare the same- there are varieties that'll store better than others. Make sure to select these 'good keepers' when you're picking crops for planting. You should time the planting in a way that your crops mature towards the end of season. Remember, crops harvested at their prime typically store better than the rest.
The first full-sized apple to fall off the tree usually indicates it's time to harvest. You can harvest apples early if birds are a problem, or wait until just before the first frost. It's always best to use a ladder when picking apples. Handle the fruits carefully to prevent bruising or bumping. Fruits with cuts and blemishes don't store well, so feel free to bite into them, make apple sauce or use them in jams and desserts. Our Apple Parer/Corer/Peeler and Food Strainer and Sauce Maker will save both time and effort while getting the job done in perfect fashion. Place those perfect apples in trays or boxes lined with shredded newspaper and store them away in a cool, dark place.
Potato foliage will die back by the end of summer, signaling the time to dig out and cure them for storage. Lay out the tubers on clean newspaper sheets in a dark, well-ventilated place (with temperatures between 50-60 degrees F.) This will cause the skins to toughen up in within a couple of weeks. After a week or two, clean the tubers using dry cloth, removing dirt and pitching any damaged tubers. Place the spuds in ventilated baskets or boxes and cover them with newspaper or clean sheets to prevent the spread of rot. The ideal temperature for storing potatoes is 40-50 degrees F, and they should be kept in the dark.
Onions, just like potatoes, need to be cured before storage. And just like potatoes, their foliage will signal the right time to act- the leaves will flop back, which also tells you that they've stopped growing. Let the onions sit in the soil until the foliage has turned yellow and the necks have tightened. You can allow the harvested onions to sit on the soil for a couple of weeks. If, however, there's a chance of rain of frost, promptly move them to a dry location and spread them out on the floor. Allow 2 weeks for curing. Once the skins have tightened and there's no residual moisture on the leaves or stems, place them in mesh bags or baskets and store away in a cool, dark location. Temperatures between 45-50 degrees F are best for storing onions.

Demonstrating Results
Using Outcome Measurement in your Library
"According to New Planning for Results trainer Rubin, outcome measurement lets libraries evaluate how they affect their users' quality of life. This latest addition to the PLA-sponsored Results Series uses familiar task breakdowns along with key terms in a step-by-step, service-oriented format so that readers can master the outcome measurement process as they enhance library programs using evaluation techniques." "Using the 14 step-by-step customizable workforms, libraries can gather and interpret statistically accurate data to demonstrate outcomes and attract funding. Applying these concepts in examples and in two running case studies - an Internet class for seniors and a tutoring program for teen mothers - brings the model to life. Six "tool kits" include tips on creating evaluations, coding data, and selecting a sample."--BOOK JACKET.

Ai Simulator 3* graded play on Baltimore - Despite losing a 5* MONSTER play on SF, the complete Tuesday card made $5777 wagering just *100 per * unit play. Atlanta was a +113 3* winner over Philadelphia, 3* Colorado won in upset fashion installed as a +120 dog , and 3* Florida kept the Cubs at bay for at least another day with their win installed as a +126 dog. Plus, the DOUBLE DOG MAJOR card was Florida and Colorado, so if you parlayed them together you really had a great night. Through this daily grind my complete MLB selections, including the 3* Member plays, you would have made $8770 wagering just $100 per * unit play. Supporting this graded play is a system that has gone 42-30 and has made +49.1 units since 1997. Play against all favorites with a money line of -175 to -250 starting a pitcher who gave up <=1 earned runs in his last 2 outings and is now facing an opponent with a cold starting pitcher sporting an ERA >= 7.50 over his last 3 starts. Roy Halladay gets to make his final start of the 2007 season. He is 15-4 with a 2.79 ERA in 25 career games, including 21 starts versus Baltimore, the only club he's defeated more than 11 times. I mention this only as an example that sometimes the MLB selection can be quite contrarian and in not other sport can you accurately state that anything can and will happen. Upon further review, the right-hander, though, is 0-5 despite a 3.56 ERA over nine road starts since June 30, as he's received an average of just 2.90 runs from his offense. Pitching at New York on Friday, he took a shutout into the ninth but wound up coming one out short of a complete game and allowing four runs, only one of them earned. The Blue Jays won the contest 5-4 in 14.Baltimores bullpen has not been and is certainly struggling right now as well. TORONTO is 10-16 (-11.7 Units) against the money line vs. a terrible bullpen whose ERA is 5.50 or worse over the last 2 seasons. Take the Orioles.

Jeff Bonds | MLB Total
double-dime LOS / 963 COL Over 7.5
Los Angeles Dodgers starter Brad Penny simply hasn't been on top of his game since the end of August and his struggles will likely continue against a potent Colorado Rockies lineup.
There's also been at least seven runs scored over his last four home games - which puts us right on the mark for this total.
Another advantage for the Rockies offense, is the fact they just saw Penny five days ago and knocked out three home runs against him. This is definitely worrysome for Penny - considering he's only allowed nine home runs all year.
The OVER is 24-9 in Penny's last 33 home games and 7-1 in the Dodgers last eight during game 1 of a series.
Colorado's Ubaldo Jimenez has allowed 13 earned runs over his last 27 innings and has struggled with his control - walking 12 batters over his last four starts
The OVER is 9-3 in the Rockies last 12 games overall and 6-1 in Jiimenez's last seven starts versus a team with a winning record.
With both teams fighting for a playoff spot - expect both offenses to come out swinging.....We're getting tremendous value tonight.

LA Angels at Texas 2:05PM EST Play on: LA Angels with Saunders
The Angels are 36-20 the last three years vs the Rangers, 30-23 vs division opponents this year, and 28-21 when playing in day games this year, they are also 75-45 vs right hand starting pitching this year. We look for the LA Angels to grab the road win today.
