Re: Friday Service Plays
Fast Cash Freddy Wills
Take NY METS
There is no fooling how well the Mets have hit LHP this year. In fact they lead the league with a .337 average and 7.73 RC/27outs. They will face rookie Sean West who was recalled from AA when the Marlins sent down Nolasco. He pitched 5IP of shutout ball vs. the Rays in his debut. The Rays hitting just .284 vs. LHP left 5 runners in scoring position against West. In my opinion the juice will be out of the arm of West as he'll now make his second MLB start.
On the mound for the Mets is Mike Pelfrey. I absolutely love backing him here. He pitched extremely well against the Red Sox and now has a 2.70 ear in 20IP with a 1.1whip in his last 3 starts. People were all over this guy early on as a 1 year wonder, but I knew he would come back strong in May. He is a sinker ball pitcher. Sinker ball pitchers always struggle early in the year. Now that he has the movement on his pitches he is primed to go on a nice run here. Pelfrey has struggled against the Marlins in the past, but his last 2 starts were good enough to get a win in my opinion 6.2IP 2ER, and 6IP 3ER. If he pitches the same way here today the Mets will win this game with their bullpen.Florida hitting just 3.58 Runs/9 in their last 5 vs. RHP.
Take Mets -165

New York Yankees at Cleveland Indians
The Cleveland Indians completed a four-game sweep over the defending American League champions Tampa Bay. The four-game winning streak is the longest of the season for the Tribe and tonight they will have their ace Cliff Lee taking the mound and Andy Pettitte and the New York Yankees. Despite a 1-4 TSR at home, Lee has been very good with a 1.75 ERA in the five starts. His counterpart Pettitte has had trouble over the years with the Indians as he has a 6-11 TSR with nearly a 5.00 ERA since 1997. Cleveland is 18-7 SU after winning three or more games in a row.

Matt Rivers
For Friday take the price back with the Mariners.
Obviously Mike Scioscia's Angels are much better overall than the visitors from Seattle but at this takeback and the way John Lackey and the Angels have been performing, or not performing, backing this dog is worth the price of admission.
Both Jason Vargas and Lackey missed the beginning of the season and shockingly enough it's been the lefty who has been much better as the ERA in the 1's shows. I'm not an idiot and do understand that Lackey is a total All-Star, despite the ERA over six right now, with great stuff but he has not really shown it since returning and even with Vlad Guerrero back the Halos were once again offensivelt challenged in that last losing series against the White Series.
Ozzie Guillen's squad took the first two games as the Anaheim bats were silenced and in the third game after falling behind 1-0 the Halos scored three runs in the sixth inning in the 3-1 victory and salvage one game in the set. Anaheim is never a juggernaut with the lumber and right now are once again showing why.
Vargas is a semi journeyman but he was alright with Florida a few seasons back and does have an upside as we have been seeing. The Southpaw has got to be feeling pretty good about himself and he may not have a great offense supporting him but Ichiro, Beltre, Branyan and the M's do have enough to scrape a few across and pull this thing out.
More times than not it's a no-brainer that the home Angels win this game as they are the definite superior squad. But to boast the hotter pitcher up against a slumping lineup makes me fine with this pup at this price.
Re: Friday Service Plays
Nick Parsons
Boston Red Sox @ Toronto Blue Jays +110
On Friday, the quickly fading Jays will try to avoid their 10th consecutive loss as they face first-place Boston and Wakefield at Rogers Centre in the start of a three-game set. The Blue Jays (27-23) hope a return home will help their fortunes after a dismal 0-9 road trip. They're 16-6 in Toronto this season, including a four-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox from May 15-18. The bats finally woke up in support of ace Roy Halladay on Wednesday, but the bullpen blew a five-run lead in the eighth inning and a two-run edge in the 11th en route to a 12-10 defeat; look for Toronto to play well in front of the hometown crowd as I believe the Jay's offer us good value today. Toronto moves to 6-0 (+6.2 units) at home when the total is 10 to 10 1/2!
Re: Friday Service Plays
Alex Smart
St. Louis Cardinals +110
The Cardinals' enter this road tilt against the San Francisco Giants playing some very good baseball winning 7 of their L/9 overall. The pitching rotation is to thank for their positive performances ,as is evident by a combined 0.88 ERA during that above mentioned span. At the same time the offense has been extremely inconsistent offense scoring an average of just 3.4 runs via a .228 BA. With the pitching in top form , and the addition of formerly injured key sluggers Rick Ankiel and Ryan Ludwick to the batting order the Cardinals look like a dangerous opponent for any and all comers as underdogs, even against a hurler like Matt Cain who is 0-1 with a 9.58 ERA in two career starts against the Cardinals. ( It must be noted that Cains team is 11-27 when he starts against a above .500 team over the last few seasons for a bankroll depleting .29% conversion rate on the moneyline). Play on the Cardinals in the underdog role ( J. Peneiro 3.27 ERA L/3 starts)
Re: Friday Service Plays
Vernon Croy
Take the Philadelphia Phillies -166
This pick falls into one of my top MLB systems and it would be a premium play for me but it is over my personal limit of -150. The Phillies are a perfect 9-0 in their last 9 games after allowing 5 or more runs in their previous game and they are a perfect 4-0 in their last 4 games after a loss. The Phillies are 10-2 in their last 12 home games against a lefty starter and they are a perfect 4-0 in J.A. Happ's (2-0, 2.60 ERA) last 4 starts when the posted total is 9.0 to 10.5. The Washington Nationals (13-33, 6-17 Road) are just 2-11 in their last 13 road games as a dog of +151 to +200 and they are also just 1-5 in their last 6 trips to Philadelphia. The Nationals are just 5-22 in their last 27 games against a division opponent and they are just 9-24 in their last 33 games when playing with a day off. The Nationals are hitting just .233 as a team over their last 7 games while averaging just 3.3 rpg and they will struggle against Happ who allowed just 4 hits in his only start this season against the Yankees in a hitters park. Take the Philadelphia Phillies.
Re: Friday Service Plays
Frank Jordan
Seattle Mariners vs. LAA Angels
Play: LAA Angels
John Lackey is 1-0 with a 6 era, but that era is inflated when he hit a batter after two pitches in his first start back and was thrown out of the game that runner came around to score. He pitched much better since then with two good starts. In this one look for Lackey to get a win in his first home start of the year over the lowly Mariners. Play LA Angels

Chicago White Sox vs. Kansas City Royals

Brian Bannister has mystified hitters since being recalled from Triple-A. The Royals have won six of seven games he's started this season. Among the starters, only Zach Greinke has a better record and ERA. Don't forget to sign-up for Doc's Sports AL Game of the Month, which will go on Saturday.

Re: Friday Service Plays
Florida Marlins vs. New York Mets
Play: Florida Marlins
Florida is 15-8 against division opponents this year. Florida is 3-1 this year as a road underdog of +150 to +175. NY Mets are 23-28 last 3 years as a home favorite of -150 to -175. NY Mets are 40-46 last 3 years at home when the total is 9 to 9 1/2. Florida has won 3 of their last 4 overall. Florida bullpen has a very good 2.07 ERA on the road this year. Sean West has a 3.60 ERA overall this year. Pelfrey is 1-5 with a 6.12 ERA overall vs Florida since 1997. We'll recommend a small play on Florida tonight!
Re: Friday Service Plays
Lenny Del Genio
Los Angeles Lakers at Denver Nuggets
Prediction: Los Angeles Lakers
We correctly projected that the Lakers would find their shooting touch in Game 5 and they shot 48.5% from the floor in that win and cover. Meanwhile, we also predicted that the Nuggets would continue their shooting slide and they made only 38.5% of their attempts. It was also the third straight game where they made less than 30% of their three-point attempts and sixth in eight games vs. the Lakers this season. Lakers are an outstanding bet as an underdog, going 24-11 ATS when getting the points over the last two seasons. Turn out the lights, the partys over Denver. Take LA Lakers.
Re: Friday Service Plays
Minnesota Twins vs. Tampa Bay Rays
Pick: Tampa Bay -140
The Twins are one game shy of .500 for the season, but that doesn't speak of the problems they have had on the road. The Twins come to Tampa with the fewest road wins in baseball at five, while dropping 14. They are just 1-9 over their last 10 games on the road, and in the nine losses have been outscored 27-52. They will face the Rays' ace, James Shields who has been lights out at home over his career. The last three seasons have seen Shields produce an 18-6 mark at home, with his worst season being an ERA of 3.53, but last year 2.59, and this season-to-date 2.89. He squares-off against Scott Baker who has been awful on the road, posting an 0-2 mark and 9.31 ERA. The Twins' struggles against the American League East have been ongoing, where they enter this one just 16-35 in their last 51 games. The Rays are 22-7 in Shield's last 29 home starts, and they have a big edge in this one. I'll take the Rays on the moneyline here.
Re: Friday Service Plays
Dave Price
1 Unit on Milwaukee Brewers +106
Cincy has been strong on the road this season and is riding a 4-game win streak, but I like the Brew Crew to get back in the win column at home tonight. The Reds own a 3-2 lead in the season series and the Brewers have dropped 5 of their last 6 to fall out of first place. They'll be very hungry to start getting things turned around here. Milwaukee is a sensational 15-5 against the money line when playing against a team with a winning record this season and Plays Against Road teams when the money line is +125 to -125 (CINCINNATI) - NL team with a low on-base percentage (<=.350) against a team with a good bullpen (WHIP <=1.350), in May games are 109-47 the last 5 seasons. Bet the Beer Makers in this bounce back spot.
Re: Friday Service Plays
Jeff Alexander
1 Unit on St. Louis Cardinals +110
The Cards have won 7 of 9 and I like them to keep right on rolling on the road tonight. There's no question that the Giants' Cain is off to a sensational start, but I don't think he'll get the run support he needs tonight as his team is scoring only 3.9 runs per game against righty starters this season. Plus, Cain is 0-2 against the money line when starting against St. Louis with an ERA of 9.57 and a WHIP of 1.644 in his career. Pineiro has been solid of late with an ERA of 3.27 over his last 3 starts and the Cardinals are 5-1 in his last 6 starts as an underdog of +110 to +150. The Giants are 6-17 in Cain's last 23 starts during game 1 of a series and 9-25 in their last 34 vs. the National League Central. Take the Cards tonight.
Re: Friday Service Plays
MTi Sports
Cincinnati Reds at Milwaukee Brewers
Prediction: Milwaukee Brewers
The Reds are 0-5 since April 24, 2009 after a 5+ run win and it is the first game of a series and the Brewers are 8-0 as a favorite in the first game of the series. Consider Milwaukee.
Re: Friday Service Plays
Randle the Handle
Boston –1½ +1.49 over TORONTO
The Jays sudden skid needs no introduction, as they're at nine losses and counting and things can't get much worse. Yeah, they're at home but the trouble started when they went into Boston and faced Tim Wakefield. Prior to that trip to Boston they were seeing beach balls but since facing Wakefield they've been seeing BB's and aside from a 10-run outburst in their last game they had scored just 16 combined runs in eight games. What makes this so interesting is that the media has been drilling it into their minds that facing the knuckleballer completely messed up their timing. Well, they finally got their "timing" back with 10 runs on Wednesday and they'll face the knuckleballer again. If nothing else, it's a big psychological edge for Wakefield and a big psychological disadvantage for the Jays hitters to overcome. The Jays may break out of its funk at home but winning is so much tougher when you're losing and this is not the best time for the Jays to run into Wakefield and the juggernaut Red Sox. Play: Boston –1½ +1.49 (Risking 2 units).
Florida +1.58 over NY METS (1st 5 innings)
Big prices are forthcoming on the Marlins all weekend long and one has to believe the Mets are a little vulnerable right now without Reyes, Beltran and Ryan Church. Reyes has always been the catalyst of this offense and the Mets record when he's not in the line-up is not impressive at all. With those three out, David Wright is not getting as many good pitches to hit and is in the midst of a 4-19 funk. Sean West makes just his second start of the year and this guy has an outstanding arm to go along with some nasty stuff. He's a big lefty (6'5) and features a 94-mph fastball, a circle change and a hard slider and he can throw them all for strikes. He did walk four in his major-league debut but that can be attributed to nerves. Still, he allowed just two earned runs to the Rays and struck out five. The kid can pitch and has a chance to stay at this level for years and years. Mike Pelfrey beat the Marlins on July 8, 2006, but has since gone 0-5 with a 6.45 ERA against them. Pelfrey failed to pitch past the fifth inning three times in five starts versus Florida last season, going 0-4 with a 7.11 ERA. Win, lose or draw, the Marlins have to be considered good value and because West will likely only go five or six innings the play is the Marlins in the first five. Play: Florida +1.58 in the first five innings (Risking 2 units).
Atlanta -½ +1.05 over ARIZONA (1st 5 innings)
This one is all about playing against Jon Garland, a guy who looks like he's throwing batter practice out there. Garland has about the least intimidating stuff in the majors and Chase Field does not help his cause. This is a hitter's park where the gaps are huge and the balls carry. Garland gives up a ton of hits, he's not a strikeout pitcher and he issues too many walks, all big factors to his current 6.99 ERA at home in five starts. In fact, over 28 frames at home he's allowed 38 hits and five bombs, while striking out just nine and walking 13. The opposition has hit .328 off him at Chase Field and his chances of success against the Braves, or anyone else for that matter are slim at best. The Braves will very likely put up some runs here early and that's all there is to it. Oh, Jair Jurrjens is a quality pitcher, making this the biggest pitching mismatch on the board. See ya at the cashier's booth about 11:00 PM. Play: Atlanta in the first five innings -½ +1.05 (Risking 2 units).
Los Angeles –1.02 over CHICAGO
The Cubbies and Ted Lilly favored over Chad Billingsley and the Dodgers makes no sense whatsoever. For one, L.A. is 11-3 against southpaws, they're 34-15 overall, they've won five in a row on the road including yesterday's opener and they've now won eight of its past nine away from Chavez Ravine. It gets better. Billingsley is a monster, who has been lights out all year. In fact, the team is 8-2 when he starts and he comes in here with a 1.63 road ERA. Meanwhile, the Cubs have dropped nine of 11 and they've scored two runs or less in seven of its last 10 games. Lilly can be effective for sure, as his 1.29 home ERA will attest to. However, he's 1-2 over his last three starts with a 5.19 ERA and in no way in a million years does he have an edge over Billingsley. Call me crazy but this is a must bet at this price, as both Billingsley and the Dodgers are the straight goods while the Cubbies can't get out of its own way right now. Play: Los Angeles –1.02 (Risking 2.04 units to win 2).
Re: Friday Service Plays
Take Toronto Bluejays -103 over the Boston Redsox
For today's comp selection to hopefully make it 3 in a row, take the Bluejays over the Redsox. Wakefield gave up 1 run in 8 innings in his last start vs. the Jays which was a contest that he was on a bounce-back against Anaheim for when he had given up 7 runs. The Jays face Wake again today and they are likely to get to him early as usually when a pitcher has great success against a team his first go around, he struggles in his next effort on the road against them. Janssen has finally returned to the Jays lineup and he was one of the stars that the team is looking to finally show his potential. He was pitcihng great in the majors a couple years ago but injuries sidelined him. He finally made his much awaited start back in the league and pitched extremely well against the Braves but the Jays still lost. Janssen still went 6 innings and gave up 8 hits and 3 runs. He looked a bit shaky at times, but that is expected in his first start back. Toronto looks to finally bounce-back at home after getting roughed up by Boston, Atlanta and Baltimore on the road and I expect them to do better in the beginning of their home stand today.
Re: Friday Service Plays
Boston Red Sox @ Toronto Blue Jays
PICK: Boston Red Sox
The Blue Jays began a nine-game road trip back on May 19 with a 27-14 record, which had them in first place in the AL East. The trip opened in Fenway Park and the Blue Jays lost 2-1. Nothing changed the rest of the trip, as the Blue Jays finally return home (the Red Sox are their opponents, again), having lost nine in a row and with a 27-23 mark. They are now in third-place, 1 1/2 games behind the Yanks and two game back of the Red Sox. Boston is much tougher in Fenway (17-6) than it is on the road (11-14) but the Red Sox cannot be unhappy with splitting a four-game series in the Metrodome this week, against the Twins. They also would like nothing more than continue Toronto's slide and the good news is, they'll miss Roy Halladay over the weekend. Tim Wakefield gets the start and he was the starter of the May 19th game, which began all of Toronto's recent woes. He allowed five hits in eight innings of Boston's 2-1 win and on the year is 6-2 with a 3.99 ERA in nine starts (team is 7-2). Wakefield opened the 2009 season with a 1.86 ERA in his first four starts and while he hasn't been able to keep that pace up, it's hard to argue with him winning four of his last five starts. It sure doesn't hurt the vet that he's fourth in the majors in run support, getting 8.28 runs per nine innings. The Blue Jays will counter with Casey Janssen, who will be making just his second major league appearance since 2007. Janssen went 6-10 with a 5.07 ERA in 19 appearances (17 starts) for the Jays in 2006 (team was 7-10 in his starts). He was then 2-3 with a 2.35 ERA in 70 appearances (no starts) in 2007, while serving as the team's setup man. However, he missed all of last season while recovering from shoulder surgery (torn labrum). He compiled an 0.76 ERA in five minor league starts between Class A and Double-A before pitching six innings against the Braves last Saturday in his first outing of the season after being removed from the DL. He pitched well enough to keep the Jays in the game but Toronto couldn't score enough. Janssen allowed three ERs on eight hits and one walk in six innings but he also didn't strike anyone out. Who wants any part of the Jays right now, until they win? Take Boston.
Re: Friday Service Plays

Denver Nuggets -5.5
The Nuggets couldnt quite come through in the clutch in Game 5 and took another bad loss in this series. Denver has shown that they could be the better team here, but have continuously turned the ball over in late game situations. Nuggets G Chauncey Billups had his worst outing of this series contributing just 12 points and five assists in 39 minutes. Before Game 5, Billups had been scoring 21.7 PPG in this series and needs to get at least that number for Denver to have a chance tonight. The Nuggets are 8-1 ATS in their L/9 games when playing as the favorite. Denver is an impressive 13-2 ATS in the 2009 NBA Playoffs and 21-6 ATS in their L/27 games overall.
The Lakers managed to dominate the fourth quarter 27-18 in Game 5 and earn their third win of this series to put them one game from the NBA Finals. In their three wins the Lakers have won the fourth by a combined score of 90-63, erasing late game deficits in each game. LA G Kobe Bryant has shown his best stuff in this series averaging 33.8 PPG and making big shots in crunch time to lead his team to victories. While Bryant scored just 22 points in Game 5 he made up for it by dishing out a personal series high eight assists. The Lakers are 2-3 ATS in this series and 8-9 ATS in the 2009 NBA Playoffs.
This is the last chance for Billups, Carmelo Anthony, and the Nuggets; look for them to dig down deep and pull out another ATS victory in this contest. Melo had 31 points in the loss on Wednesday and will no doubt put up another big number to help his team win tonight. The Nuggets are 7-1 ATS on their home floor in the NBA Playoffs and will force a classic Game 7 with the Lakers.

Cuba Loosens Restrictions on Housing Market
Gregory Mottola
Posted: November 16, 2011
it isn't exactly the fall of communism in Havana, Cuban citizens are
now able to buy and sell their homes with minimal government
The new law (Decree 288), which went into effect on November 10, allows individuals to buy and sell up to two residences (one permanent, one vacation) without the excessive government intervention that was previously required. Transactions are now simplified with most of the legal particulars left primarily between buyer and seller.
According to Granma, Cuba's national newspaper, the new legislation is designed to ensure that citizens who want to buy or sell residential property can do so as they wish without the need for any authorization from the Municipal Housing Authority. Income taxes are still levied on the sale and a notary public mandated to formalize the transactions.
According to Julia Sweig, expert on Cuban affairs and Director of Latin American Studies for the Council of Foreign Relations, the law represents a significant political advance by "providing legitimacy and legality to the real estate markets." Sweig adds, "There is a strong consensus in Cuba that these steps are necessary to eliminate the massive bureaucratic distortions that get in the way of people's ability to provide for themselves and their families."

Nice report. Good to hear that the Cuban government is letting their people have freedom of sale and purchase. A step in the right direction for the country.
Michael Brady — Richmond, Virginia, United States, — May 18, 2012 9:58am ET
The free alienability of property, especially real property, was one of the essential developments in Anglo-American law that made possible the conditions of freedom and prosperity we take for granted in the Western world. An important, though small, step in the right direction.

Cafe PiquetRead MoreThough the imperial Doric columns inside Cafe Piquet aren't indicative of the cuisine's origins, the pictures and artifacts on the walls—which range from movie-star portraits to framed bills of currency—all pay homage to Cuba. The authentic decor echoes the traditional recipes in the family-owned kitchen. There, chefs layer swiss cheese, ham, pork, mustard, and pickles onto medianoche sandwiches that helped the restaurant win the 2009 Houston Press award for Best Cuban Restaurant. The paper deemed the sandwiches "easily the best in the city," and commented on the menu's knack for drawing crowds of native Cubans with its recipes. Those recipes include plates of grilled red snapper, pork chops, and sirloin steak that arrive with sides of plantains and yucca, imbued with flavor from garlic and creole sauces. After devouring the dishes, full visitors who have become sleepy can conclude meals with cups of cuban coffee.5757 Bissonnet StBellaire, TX US

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Doug Kass of Seabreeze Partners is known for his accurate stock market calls and keen insights into the economy, which he shares with RealMoney Pro readers in his daily trading diary.

ECB's Placebo Policy Moves On
Originally published on Friday, June 6, at 8:03 a.m. EDT.
- The repo rate was reduced by 10 basis points, to 0.15%.
- A negative deposit rate of -0.10% (from 0.00%) was established for banks depositing funds with the ECB, which is intended to provide an incentive for banks to lend.
- A new facility was established to provide up to 400 billion euros for banks to lend in the nonfinancial private sector.
- The sterilization of bond purchases (made at the beginning of the euro crisis) will be suspended.
- The ECB will begin to develop a plan to make purchases of asset-backed securities.
[Read: ECB Cuts Key Interest Rates Amid Deflation Worries]
The ECB did not do anything substantive and unexpected. Money and credit in Europe is not growing, which is deflationary. European bond yields, with the exception of some peripheral countries' bonds (Greece, Spain and Italy), are down only slightly, and the euro (the main barometer of determining the success of ECB policy) is materially unchanged for the week. European equities crept up only modestly in the week (+0.6% on the Stoxx 600 index), and Asian markets are down slightly. Thus, the markets are saying that the ECB delivered a consensuslike package, and that there should be no incremental growth/inflation from it. It is my view that, similar to the last few quantitative easings by the Fed, these efforts will not necessarily have the intended impact of improving the transmission of credit.
- A negative interest rate on excess reserves is a fool's errand, as only 32 billion euros in excess reserves are held by the ECB (down from over 830 billion euros in July 2012).
- The European banking industry is years behind that of the U.S. It is capital-deficient and beset by bad assets and, as such, is only focused right now on shrinking balance sheets ahead of the asset-quality review.
- With regard to sterilization, money market rates have risen over the past six months, as banks have paid back the first LTRO program. This is not new stimulus; it is only an attempt to push back down bank-to-bank lending rates. (Over the past three months, the EONIA overnight rate has averaged 23 basis points compared with the one-year average of 15 basis points. And the three-month Euribor has been above the ECB's benchmark rate all year.)
- The new 400 billion euro targeted LTRO program is simply refilling the prior program. There is no assurance that the banks will even take the money.
- The asset purchase program will not occur anytime soon, as the regulatory structure is not yet in place. Moreover, the market is not big enough for the ECB to have an impact.
[Read: Fast Money Recap: Blame David Tepper]
To me, deflation (an "internal devaluation") might be the only way to restore competitiveness, perhaps through wage cuts and reduced living standards in the periphery. The Irish are used to suffering and have gotten on with it. Not so in Southern Europe. Bottom Line Draghi delivered placebo policy changes that won't hurt but also won't help that much. In essence, European and Asian markets have taken the Draghi-ECB moves in stride, while the U.S. has rejoiced, leading me to believe that hedge-hogger David Tepper might have been more responsible for the market's rally on June 5 than Draghi. In my view, the U.S. stock market has overreacted to both the ECB's moves on Thursday and to Tepper's comments.
Beige Book Bullet Points Originally published on Wednesday, June 4, at 2:34 p.m. EDT.
[Read: 3 Reasons to Utterly Ignore the Bad News on Consumer Spending]
Here is a summary of the important bullet points and statements contained in the Beige Book:
- "All 12 Districts report that economic activity expanded during the current reporting period. The pace of growth was characterized as moderate or modest."
- "Consumer spending expanded across almost all Districts, to varying degrees. Non-auto retail sales grew at a moderate pace: Although improved weather generally gave a boost to business."
- "Increasingly strong new vehicle sales were reported by more than half the Districts, with most other regions seeing steady sales"
- "Activity in the service sector, excluding finance, grew across most reporting Districts."
- "Manufacturing activity expanded throughout the nation, and at an increasingly strong pace in a number of Districts."
- "Residential real estate activity was mixed across the country. Residential construction activity was mixed."
- "Markets for both condos and apartment rentals were mostly robust...Multi-family construction remained particularly robust."
- "Both non-residential construction activity and CRE markets were generally steady to stronger since the last report."
- "Overall lending activity increased throughout the nation."
- "Labor market conditions generally strengthened in the latest reporting period...and several Districts reporting shortages of skilled workers. In most Districts, wage increases have remained generally subdued." But "wage increases were observed in IT, engineering, professional services and some skilled trades."
- "Prices of both inputs and finished goods and services were mostly steady to up slightly. However, high or rising prices for some ag commodities, construction materials, energy products and precious metals were cited by some Districts."

A travel book that is anything but 'wrist-slittingly' dull…
Paul Theroux famously said "Travel magazines are just one cupcake after another." But inventive travel writers — even when they start out by writing for magazines — discover a way of breaking the pretty cupcake mould and serving up unanticipated flavours of people and places.
Srinath Perur's If It's Monday, It Must Be Madurai (Penguin Viking) is a book that turns the idea of travel writing on its head in many ways. For one, it does not offer a series of exotic, adjective-laden location and food descriptions. Second and more importantly, it breaks the Therouxesque idea that a travel writer worth his salt is essentially a lone traveller.
If It's Monday… is a travelogue woven around 10 conducted tours in India and abroad. The traveller here is always in cacophonous company and the experience of travel is a "composite of place and one's fellow travellers." And the writing is "from a vantage point from where both people and places reveal themselves in the others' light."
Perur's first conducted tour of Tamil Nadu happened quite by accident and he initially found the company of temple-hoppers on his bus "wrist-slittingly dull".
Soon, he not only developed a tolerance for the assorted group, but also came to discover "a serendipity and an adventure" in conducted tours. Perur says it also offered him a great "formal challenge" as a travel writer to put together an "India book" of sorts from a random sampling of people and places.
The book jacket promises an account that is "deeply felt, ironic and often comic". The writer in these narratives is part of the crowd but distant. He is the faithless in a bunch of people who never tire of temples or footloose among pilgrims travelling to Pandarapur on foot, or the Indian among foreigners on a slum tour of Dharavi.
This distance, however, does not come with a sense of disdain even when the company appears downright distasteful, like a bunch of old men seeking sexual adventures in Uzbekistan. The trick of not being judgemental, says Perur, is in understanding what motivates people to set out on these travels. The Uzbek travellers, for instance, are from highly repressed societies who are revelling in the anonymity provided by a foreign location.
Perur quotes a line from a Daler Mehndi song that sums up the right attitude for a travel writer: 'Duniya yaara rang birangi/Naal bhairi na ye changi' (Life is colourful/Neither good nor bad).
By default, the book ends up as a sociological study of a people who are slowly beginning to explore a larger world from within the safety of a herd. The narratives show people travelling for starkly different reasons, ranging from young corporate workers hoping to find the meaning of life on the hanging bridge of Cherrapunji to retired people who travel out of a sheer sense of relief after "settling" their children.
They also reveal a changing society in which a conducted foreign tour becomes a "conquest of the exalted foreign without much effort or discomfort" and an ancient pilgrimage route offers mobile charging facilities along the way.
Interestingly, Perur often turns his gaze inwards . In one place, he describes himself as someone who is "vaguely at home no matter where" and as "something of a tourist everywhere", with his cultural roots running "wider than they run deep".
Though he has a Ph.D. in computer science from IIT-Bombay, Perur chose to be a full-time travel and science writer.
He opted for the "financially disastrous but fun" path of an independent writer over the comfort of a salaried job and is "managing to figure out how not to be destitute".
With If It's Monday… behind him, the writer is getting ready to follow a one-legged bicyclist in Cambodia for an article for a British magazine. The cyclist travels around to help people who have lost their limbs to the landmines that dot the countryside. Perur has bought a bicycle and is trying to get used to it before he sets out to Cambodia.

This year marks the third annual Badges & Bikes program that is put together by the College Station Police Department Bicycle Patrol Unit. Through this program and with the help of local businesses, CSPD is able to distribute bicycles and bicycle helmets to over 20 College Station children in order to help promote bicycle safety as well as the importance of healthy exercise.
Once again this year, in conjunction with College Station ISD, the CSPD Bicycle Unit was able to identify several special families that would benefit from this program. With the support and donations from local businesses, officers were able to collect over $1,700 to aid in the valuable program. The money that officers were able to raise will help purchase 20 bicycles to be distributed to deserving children and families in our community.
This year CSPD Badges and Bikes is partnering with St. Joseph's Safety Circus and has been moved to May 18th from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. to coincide with Bicycle Safety Month. This event will not only give the chance for a lucky child to receive a bicycle and helmet, but will also offer valuable training for children of all ages, and culminate with a community bicycle ride with officers. The event will be held in the parking lot of the St. Joseph's College Station Medical Office building located at 4421 State Hwy 6 (next to Lowe's).
This event is open to all community members and offers an opportunity for children and adults of all ages to learn and practice bicycle safety riding skills while riding with police officers. Registration will be held the day of the event for the community bike ride with police officers. The bike ride will be held at 2 p.m. and will begin at the Lowe's parking. We would like to invite everyone to join us at St. Joseph's Safety Circus to learn about safe practices and enjoy a fun day of safe bicycling in our community.
Please visit www.cstx.gov/police for additional information in regards to this event.

BELLVILLE, Texas A SWAT standoff came to an end early Wednesday after police said three suspects were taken into custody inside a Brookeshire Brothers grocery store in Bellville.
The Bellville Police Department said an alarm was triggered in the 700-block of South Front Street just before 3 a.m. The alarm company monitoring the store s video feedtold police thatthree men, possibly armed with a gun, were walking around inside.
A SWAT teammade entry around 4:30 a.m.and took all three men into custody. It was later determined they did not have a gun.
Police said one of the menbecame sick from some cough syrup he consumed in the store s pharmacy, and he was sent to the hospital as a precaution.
Bellville officials later identified the suspectsas Darion Williams, Shawn Powers, and Terry Bell. They're all said to be fromthe Houston area.
Police said thetrio used crow bars and sledge hammers to break in. They were possibly going after the store s safe.
The resulting cleanup and investigation caused the store's opening to be delayed by a couple hours Wednesday morning.
Bellville is located in Austin County, about 60 miles northwest of Houston.

While recently in USA, I had the pleasure of being 'had' and interviewed by the delightful and quirky Sex Nerd Saaaandra ( you'll get the joke when you tune in) of Nerdist.com. In this in depth and meaty interview, Sandra and I get real and raw about what makes for getting the sex you really want, navigating new sexual terrain, the difference between being a sex therapist and a sex educator and why I love both, but how they are such different skills. We also cover how gender roles are being redefined, how unnatural sex really is and well a whole lot more. Strap yourselves in for this one. It's intense, it's passionate and it's online here.
For the next week only, listeners can tune in to my interview with best selling sexuality author Barbara Carrellas on the very tender and difficult subject of sexual trauma and abuse on Hay House Radio.
Hello again,
In news just in, our PODCAST had over 1800 hits overnight!
What a fabulous effort pleasure enthusiasts!
Wow. What an exhilarating day! Talk about PLEASURE overload.
Pleasure of course can be sourced from a squillion locations both internally and externally, and today mine came in the form of the GLORIOUS Catherine Deveny AND everyone of you who popped by my site and followed me on Facebook and Twitter leaving your comments of praise and encouragement!
By 7pm this evening, our podcast on vaginas and some of their workings had had over 1000 hits which really screams that there are a whole lotta folk TRULY interested in genuine, intelligent conversations about sex and sexuality and its function in our lives.
I am just thrilled at the response from the listeners. I love your comments and your questions. Keep 'em coming.
With pleasure

Nikola Tesla is by far the one individual in modern times to have had as large an impact on our current way of life as any other soul. Everyone has heard of Edison and give him all the credit for our electrical world, but there was an uncelebrated person who was the real force behind the things we take for granted every single day. Radio was invented by Tesla. Wireless communication. Fluorescent lighting. And even a "crazy" idea to transmit energy wirelessly, but J.P. Morgan said "if I can't put a meter on it and charge people for it, I'm not funding the research for it." Edison was rich, but a slob. Tesla was poor, but always dressed very neat and in good clothes. If I live to be a tenth of the electrician Nikola Tesla was, I shall consider myself very fortunate!

text: The Mr. Thayer Jost wiki last edited by NJG5595 on 03/07/15 05:19PM View full history Thayer Jost was the financier of the Doom Patrol for a short time because he was envious of the metahuman condition. Jost believes in corporate sponsorship is a way to pay for costs (Jost's expenses that is). As much as Jost resented metahumans, he found the Doom Patrol profitable for a time. Jost even financed Amanda Beckett's research on Botfly larva which transformed her into Botfly and in turn Jost supplied Beckett with vagrants to experiment on. Jost also created a corporate funded team called the Front Men. The Front Men consisted of Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man, Botfly and Porcelain Doll. Jost recruited AVM Man by alerting the police of his location in order to test out Dr. Larsen's potential. Jost has been following the public's shifting opinion on heroes ever since Blackest Night. Jost then became the CEO of MSE which stands for Mister Somebody's Enterprises. After the Doom Patrol relocated to Oolong Island, Mr. Nobody transformed into Mr. Somebody and has taken possession of Jost's body. Mr. Somebody (Thayer Jost) embodies capitalism whereas Mr. Nobody used to represent Dadaism and anarchy. Jost is driven by Mr. Somebody to murder the Toy, a former member of the Brotherhood of Dada because Mr. Somebody wanted to kill off any remaining connection to Mr. Nobody's past. Jost also reduces Danny the Street into a single brick. Jost then lures the Doom Patrol into a trap where he has them fight the Front Men in front of various reporters, giving the impression that they had been attacked without provocation. His plan to control the populace through the media by swaying their opinions becomes cemented when the Doom Patrol kills Jost and Mr. Somebody escapes.

Identity Theft
Some 500,000 to 700,000 Americans per year are at risk of having their identities stolen, according to government and private sector estimates. Identity Theft occurs when someone steals your personal information.

These criminals are looking for unsuspecting individuals who will give them important information like Social Security numbers, dates of birth, credit card numbers, or bank account numbers. Once the thief has your information he or she will use it to make fraudulent purchases, obtain credit and can possibly gain access to bank accounts.
There are many ways that thieves can access your personal information. To avoid becoming a victim, here are some important things to remember:
For more information, please contact your local customer service representative today! 609.921.1700. You can also check out the Consumer Information on the State of NJ website on Identity Theft, which includes information on obtaining free credit reports.

I've had a couple of people ask me for diagrams for Quentin Trollip's pig. I downloaded it ages ago as it was offered free my Mr. Trollip. For some reason his website is down, so I thought I'd offer a page with my own link to the diagram. If Mr. Trollip requests I take it down, I will do so post haste, but since it was once offered for free I thought he wouldn't mind. To find it, just go to my page labelled "Origami Diagrams". Maybe I will add more later if people like. The best place to find the most free diagrams is certainly Origami University.

What fueled the Victorian passion for hair-jewelry and memorial rings? When would an everyday object metamorphose from commodity to precious relic? In Portable Property, John Plotz examines the new role played by portable objects in persuading Victorian Britons that they could travel abroad with religious sentiments, family ties, and national identity intact. In an empire defined as much by the circulation of capital as by force of arms, the challenge of preserving Englishness while living overseas became a central Victorian preoccupation, creating a pressing need for objects that could readily travel abroad as personifications of Britishness. At the same time a radically new relationship between cash value and sentimental associations arose in certain resonant mementoes--in teacups, rings, sprigs of heather, and handkerchiefs, but most of all in books.
Portable Property examines how culture-bearing objects came to stand for distant people and places, creating or preserving a sense of self and community despite geographic dislocation. Victorian novels--because they themselves came to be understood as the quintessential portable property--tell the story of this change most clearly. Plotz analyzes a wide range of works, paying particular attention to George Eliot's Daniel Deronda, Anthony Trollope's Eustace Diamonds, and R. D. Blackmore's Lorna Doone. He also discusses Thomas Hardy and William Morris's vehement attack on the very notion of cultural portability. The result is a richer understanding of the role of objects in British culture at home and abroad during the Age of Empire.

I am incredibly sick and tired of false advertising (Wikipedia). Sometimes it's so wrong it's actually funny (not when it's targeted at you of course), but most of the time it is aggravating, infuriating or downright pathetic. In the last 24 hours I've been blasted by false advertising from well-known companies. False advertising can cost brands millions, yet they still don't get the picture. Are big brand retailers actually getting away with extortion? Are ad agencies so desperate, have their creative wells run so dry, that they simply lie to us now? Is the world's most beloved computing company (yes, biased) trying to sell me a load of bull? Yes, yes and yes. Allow me to demonstrate.
I recently ordered the entire boxed set of the King of Queens series from Amazon.com. Notice the box says "complete series" which is described on Amazon's website as containing 27 discs. Well it did come with 27 discs but it was entirely missing the 4th season! When I contacted Amazon to see what they were going to do about it, I got this response:
I'm really sorry to hear the Fourth Season of The King of Queens you've purchased wasn't included in your shipment. This usually doesn't happen. I'm sorry; I'm not able to replace individual pieces from a set, but I'll replace the set for you. Once you've received it, you can ship back the original set. However, in this case, if you're interested in keeping the DVD set, I'd like to offer you a refund of $11.84, which is 30% off the price. To accept this refund, let us know and we'll issue the refund to your credit card.
Oh thank you so much Amazon! You mean you'll let me pay extra for something you told me I'd get in the first place? That is so convenient and ethical! If I returned my purchase to get a replacement, it would still be missing the 4th season. Not cool. This is an example of a false advertisement that actually costs me additional money… I'm no lawyer, but this feels like extortion. Even if this is a manufacturing error, as a retailer, Amazon is responsible for selling products that deliver on what is promised to customers.
If 1,000 people ordered the same box set, wrote to customer service to get it fixed, were told to buy the 4th season separately (discounted, of course) and actually ordered it out of frustration Amazon would pocket over $10k. That's just this one item. Who knows how many others there are.
This one's just ridiculous. As I was leafing through the pages of the most recent edition of Fast Company I came across this Jeep ad. So, Jeep, you're telling me that I'll never have to fill up for gas… ever? Oh, I see, I'm supposed to realize that this is a cute generalization meant to depict that fact that on any given trip around town I probably won't have to stop at the gas station… but wait, that's not what you said. This is an example of a pathetic false advertisement.
Now here's an example that really bothers me. It's a picture of what greeted me when I flipped on my Apple TV last night. How in the world does John Carter qualify as a top movie Apple? The Economist calls John Carter the biggest flop ever. It was so bad that it cost the head of Disney's film studio his job. What I am left assuming here, Apple, is that your cozy relationship with Disney prompted you to try to promote this horrible movie by passing it off as one of the best movies currently available. Or did Disney pay for this "opportunity" to try to salvage a financial disaster? This is a very, very disappointing example of trying to get me to spend money under false pretenses.
Have you run into any false advertising lately? Let me know what your experience was in the comments section!
1 comment
It is unfortunate that we all seem to take false advertising for granted. We all believe that we are immune from the influence of those that wish to manipulate our behavior but it just isn't so.
I have been actively working on having false business listings removed from Google search results and nationwide directory services showing fictitious businesses but have found that my requests are opposed at every turn.
There is no real enforcement of false advertising anymore as far as I can tell.
There is a law passed by congress that gave immunity to any internet service that publishes third party information and that law has been so broadly interpreted by the courts that nobody is ever held accountable.
No enforcement agency has the will or the budget to go after the individual advertiser and the distributor of the false information has been immunized from any culpability by congress (see http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/US_Internet_Law/Section_230).
This opened the door to any lie that any person or corporation wishes to put in the public's face without any recourse by the victims..
You might take a look at the issues my industry is faced with here: http://www.badplumbers.org
An early landmark case was brought through the federal courts by Kenneth M. Zeran see:http://www.techlawjournal.com/courts/zeran/71112opn.htm
In any case, I think t time that the public noticed that there is something very wrong with this scenario.
We need to recognize that there is a difference between freedom which we all subscribe to and license which the unscrupulous among us would have us believe is the same thing.
We need some press coverage on this issue.

Screamin' Eagle/Vance & Hines Rider Eddie Krawiec won his fourth race of the season at Reading and clinched the top spot in the Countdown Playoffs.
Screamin' Eagle/Vance & Hines rider Eddie Krawiec won his fourth NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle event of the season and clinched the number-one spot in the Full Throttle Countdown to the Championship playoff series at the Toyo Tires NHRA Nationals on the Maple Grove Raceway. Krawiec, the defending NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle champion, rode his Harley-Davidson V-Rod past MPR/Damn Sports Suzuki rider Michael Phillips in the final round of eliminations.
Krawiec has secured 30 bonus points for being the top qualifier for the Countdown. There is still one event – the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals at Indianapolis on Labor Day weekend – on the regular-season schedule before the playoff series begins.
"This means we can go to Indy with no pressure," said Krawiec. "I went out in the first round there last year, and this time I want to try and win it for the Screamin' Eagle team."
Krawiec was the number-four qualifier for the Reading event, with an elapsed time of 7.041 seconds. Screamin' Eagle/Vance & Hines rider Andrew Hines qualified fifth at 7.042 seconds. Hector Arana used a 6.986 ET to claim the top qualifying position.
The start of the Pro Stock Motorcycle eliminations was delayed by more than three hours due to water seeping through the track surface as it was warmed by bright sun after several days of rainy weather. Hines was eliminated in the first round when his 6.979-second ET was not enough to overcome a 0.128-second reaction time at the start, and the 0.016/7.048 pass of Rocklin Motorsports Buell rider Matt Guidera.
"My motor function was off," said Hines, who remains a solid second in season points. "I saw the yellow and my brain reacted, but my hand did not release the clutch lever. It's something that has happened to me in the past. By the time I realized what was going on and let go of the lever, Guidera was gone. I'm just going to move on and set my sights on doing well at Indy."
Krawiec defeated Kendall Suzuki rider Wesley Wells in the first round, posting a 6.970-second ET that would stand as the quickest Pro Stock Motorcycle run of the weekend. Krawiec advanced to the finals when his next two opponents, Guidera and Arana, fouled at the starting line. Krawiec defeated Phillips 7.138 to 8.153, to take his fourth win in eight final-round appearances this season.
After the Reading event, seven Pro Stock Motorcycle riders have qualified for the 2009 Full Throttle Countdown to the Championship. Guidera will join Krawiec, Hines, Arana, Matt Smith, Doug Horne, and Craig Treble, each of whom qualified at previous events. Only the top 10 points earners in the class will take part in the five-event Countdown playoffs, which begin at the North Carolina Nationals on Sept. 17-20. Those final three Countdown qualifiers will be determined at the next event on the NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle schedule, the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals, Sept 2-7, at O'Reilly Raceway Park, Indianapolis, Ind.
After 11 events on the 17-race 2009 NHRA Full Throttle Pro Stock Motorcycle schedule, Krawiec leads the series with 1,026 points. Hines is second with 837, followed by Arana with 722, Smith with 668, Horne with 685, and Treble in fifth place with 673 points.
Round Win/Loss Driver R-Time E-Time Speed
(W) Eddie Krawiec (Screamin' Eagle/Vance & Hines) 0.076 7.138 185.13 mph
(L) Michael Phillips (MPR & Damn Sport Suzuki) 0.044 8.153 116.81 mph
Phillips broke the engine on his motorcycle during the semifinals and said he would not be back for the final round. Steve Johnson lent Phillips an engine, and Phillips and his crew managed to get the new engine in the bike and ready to go for the final round.

More Laptop Battery Cells=Longer Overall Lifetime?
by suerte700 - 4/27/13 7:09 PM
If your laptop battery has more cells (such as 9 or 12), on average, would it last longer than a battery with fewer cells, if all other factors are essentially equal?
In other words, do more battery cells make the battery last several months or even years longer?
