Today we shall once again talk about increasing a restaurant's profitability. Seasoned restaurateurs know that there are two ways to do this—one is to increase sales, and the other one is to cut costs. Since we've already talked about increasing restaurant sales dozens of times in this blog, we felt that it's time that we discuss the other important part of successfully running a restaurant: controlling costs.
Restaurant operators would agree with us when we say that there is, indeed, an astonishing number of ways that restaurants lose money everyday if they lack the necessary control over some aspects of their business—whether it's in the dining room, kitchen, back office, bar or storage areas. Seeing this, operators big and small have come up with practices and procedures that are effective ways in reducing such potential losses.
We've come up with a few questions for you, serving as your checklist on how you manage the various parts of your restaurant business. Here's the first of four parts, a checklist for cutting costs on your storage and inventory:
1. How high, or how low, is your inventory level?
Many restaurants often have more supplies on their shelves than what they actually need. Smart ones realize the need to evaluate their inventory levels and reduce excessive spoilage and waste, basing their reorder levels on realistic forecasts. Low inventory levels not only save you a lot of money, but will also teach your staff, including your chefs in outstanding chef hats, to handle and portion your products better.
2. How often do you make an inventory of your key items?
Your key items are the top 10 products that make up the majority of your food cost. Successful restaurateurs conduct an inventory everyday—with an opening count at the start of each day and a closing count at the end of the closing shift. They compare the figures to the actual purchases of products where these items were used on, and when the actual usage is greater than the actual purchase, they immediately investigate what's wrong—it might be an indication of over-portioning, theft, or other food-usage problems.
3. Can you say that the usage of your kitchen products have been maximized before they are thrown away?
Such kitchen products include soups, sauces and garnishes, which often goes straight to the garbage bin after its primary purpose in the kitchen. Most restaurants' chefs in cool chef hats make a plan to utilize these items somewhere else on their menus before they discard it. This also holds true on the shrinks and wastes of some restaurant's in-house cuts of steaks, fish, roasted or smoked meats. And we shouldn't forget frying oils. Smart restaurants filter their frying oil after every shift, changing it on a weekly basis. Daily filtering of oil not only enhances the taste of food, but also saves a restaurant some big bucks.
4. Do you use purchase orders?
No matter how small the operation is, keeping records is always a good practice. Regularly verify what's on the purchase order (description of product, quantity of ordered and quoted price) with what is physically seen.
5. Do you control who, and what, goes in and out your storage area?
We're not only talking about your storage area for expensive ingredients, but also for your towels, aprons, napkins, liquor, beer and wine. These items can pose as a temptation to even the best of your staff, so it's always good to assign someone accountable for these items. Linen and laundry is often an overlooked area, as well as your stock of beer, wine and liquor. Most restaurants determine a fixed par level of all drinks that are stacked in their bar. They instruct their bartenders to bring their empty liquor bottles (bottles should never be thrown away) to their managers for replenishment. Needless to say, the people who hold the key to your storage area should be limited to a few personnel, if not one.
6. Do you have an established daily food preparation level?
Daily prep level pars not only controls spoilage and waste but also manages the freshness of the food that comes out of your kitchen. Know the quantity of food that you need to prepare per shift by basing it on your daily forecasts –and as much as your chefs in cool chef hats and kitchen managers have a say on this, you have to make a stand and take the necessary control.
Implementing proper procedures in storage and inventory not only save costs, but are also critical in managing the quality and consistency of a restaurant. Asking yourselves these questions would prompt you to reassess your current system and make the necessary changes needed to make your company's routines more organized and efficient.

First Free Digital Font Optimized for Dyslexics Arrives
Jason Mick
September 27, 2012 4:47 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: endlessorigami.blogspot.com)
OpenDyslexic supposedly helps people with this language difficulty read easier
While dyslexia is a diverse and complex language-related learning disability, it can prove a key challenge to reading and writing. The
same is true in the digital world
: people with dyslexia can take longer to process -- or be unable to process -- text that the rest of us would be able to easily mentally parse. Approximately 1 out of every 10 individuals suffers from some form of dyslexia, according to the
International Dyslexia Association
I. Helping Dyslexia Victims With an Affordable Font
The plight of dyslexic individuals served as inspiration to Abelardo Gonzalez, a New Hampshire-based mobile app designer, who devised a clever font to help dyslexics read digital text easier.
The font, dubbed "
", employs a trick in which the bottoms of characters are weighted. Curiously some dyslexic individuals visual processing cortexes rotate images that look slender, making characters appear backwards or upside down. By making the bottom look "heavier" the font reportedly reduces
this kind of visual "bug"
in the brains of people with this disability.
Mr. Gonzalez wasn't the first to use this trick, he explained, but he was the first font designer to make an affordable version. He comments in a
BBC News
, "I had seen similar fonts, but at the time they were completely unaffordable and so impractical as far as costs go. I figured there's other people who would like the same thing but had the same issues, and so I thought I'd make an open source one that everyone could contribute to and help out with."
"The response has been great: I've had people emailing saying this is the first time they could read text without it looking wiggly or has helped other symptoms of dyslexia."
II. Spreading Across the App Space
The app he made --
-- is free for iPhone and iPad users and modifies the Safari browser to use OpenDyslexic as the enforced font, making most pages' text load with the font-face.
Android owners and owners of jailbroken devices have downloaded the font and used it system-wide on their devices, which allows any app that uses the system's default font for text to display in the special font-face.
Fellow app developers have also taken note. The latest
to add support
is the iOS app
, a popular app that saves webpages for offline reading.
openWeb and Instapaper both use the OpenDyslexic font.
Reportedly many special education teachers in the U.S. and abroad have started using the font to try to help their students read easier. The Kildonan School -- an institute that specializes in dyslexic children -- is interested in conducting a more comprehensive trial to see how broad the improvement is and
what types of dyslexia
are countered by the font.
Sony Corp. (
) and Amazon.com, Inc. (
) have both contacted Mr. Gonzalez about potentially using the font in their e-readers. Google Inc. (
) is also looking to add the font to its
web fonts directory
to allow web developers to use it.
III. Legal Challenges
Fonts are in a gray area of the law -- in some areas (like the U.S.) they are generally exempted from copyright law -- but there are some exceptions/technicalities. That's a key reason why Mr. Gonzalez offers his font for free.
He relates that he was contacted by font designer Christian Boer (who sells an alternative font called dyslexie
for $69 USD
per "single-use" license) to "
cease and desist
" early during his process.
At the time he was charging a nominal fee and did reuse some bitstream-vera-sans characters as the basis for his font. Bitstream-vera-sans'
explicitly allows derivative fonts to be sold (free of fee to the bitstream font creators), however, Mr. Boer was claiming that the offense occurred due to the fact that Mr. Gonzalez had changed the (free) font in a similar way as he had. By all appearances the real issue was that Mr. Gonzalez was offering it for far cheaper than Mr. Boer.
So Mr. Gonzalez went a step further and simply made the font free. He also modified the characters to be more unique (and less-close to Bitstream-vera-sans). Mr. Boer has not filed any lawsuits against Mr. Gonzalez yet, but he's certainly not happy about the new state of affairs -- "free".
Indeed, legal challenges loom for the free font, as it puts an end to a lucrative -- but perhaps exploitive -- digital market. Mr. Gonzalez vows to continue with the project, though, writing, "Why did I continue working on it? The great positive feedback from people who liked my work. And I'm sure my work is why he's now added an italic version to Dyslexie (see, I did have a positive impact on his life)."
"I'm still working on [OpenDyslexic] after a year, and can only afford to work on it during whatever free time I can afford to schedule, which isn't much. I have, at any given point, 3 jobs I'm working on."
For paid fonts Mr. Gonzalez now recommends one of Mr. Boer's rivals --
-- which is more reasonable at $20 USD per license. Gill-Dyslexic has a monospace font -- perfect for dyslexic-friendly
Ascii art
or dyslexic-friendly code IDEs.

A juicy, highly textured painting done in opaque and translucent blues, teal, sea foam white and turquoise. This painting was done by first using Golden molding paste which I carved into to make the design and forms. It was then left overnight to cure. Over the next week I used acrylic paints, glazes, mediums and salt to modulate hue and create interesting surface textures. To protect and create a glass like finish a thick acrylic coating of clear glaze was put over top followed by a final varnish. The result is luscious! I have left the edges rough as the piece can be framed showing these organic edges if you so desire.

Pot admissions shouldn't affect top-10 picks
The players cited are Georgia Tech wide receiver Calvin Johnson, Clemson defensive end Gaines Adams and Louisville defensive tackle Amobi Okoye. None of them tested positive for drugs in tests done by the NFL or in any of the random tests conducted in college by the NCAA. According to ratings by NFLDraftScout.com, each player is the top prospect at his position. Johnson is ranked as the top player in the entire draft, Gaines is seventh and Okoye 10th. The admissions came out as part of a standard interview conducted at the Indianapolis Scouting Combine in February. The interview, conducted by a group of representatives from several teams, was videotaped and copies are sent to every NFL team. Team sources told TSX that they are more concerned that this confidential information was revealed than they are about the admissions themselves because this may compromise the willingness of players to be completely honest in future interviews. "In context, these admissions were extremely honest responses of relatively minor, old events that should have little or no impact on how we perceive these young men at this point in their lives," one NFL team executive told TSX. According to a player personnel director from another team, players are encouraged to be totally forthcoming on even the most minor events as they approach jobs worth millions of dollars. Ostensibly, such honesty would benefit the players and their future employers should such events come to light in the future. Suddenly, the future is now after the admissions were revealed in a Wednesday report by Pro Football Weekly's Nolan Nawrocki. Several scouts, coaches and team executives told TSX that it is important that everybody understand the total context of such details. As an example, one scout related a story told by Oklahoma's Adrian Peterson, the top-rated running back in the draft and ranked fourth overall by NFLDraftScout.com. According to the scout, when Peterson was asked about marijuana use he told of a time in the fifth grade when he took some marijuana, rolled in paper, to school in his pocket and walked around with it all day. Peterson said he took it home, got rid of it and never did smoke it. "Taken out of context and written for dramatic effect, I'm sure somebody could make that into a big story," the scout said. "You admire the kids' honesty, actually. Every team in the league has done their homework on these kids. These aren't some fringe prospects, you know. It is a lot more of a concern for guys who have failed tests, have rap sheets, or are being deceitful," the scout continued." Among the more notable 2007 prospects with documented, drug related charges are Florida defensive tackle Marcus Thomas, UNLV cornerback Eric Wright and Texas cornerback Tarell Brown. Another team official said that that public knowledge of the use of marijuana will have "little or no" impact on how the players are drafted, but he expects the subject to come up and is interested in how it will be discussed after the draft. "You can obviously make what you want out of information such as this," said the team official, who then cited how teams address results of the Wonderlic Tests, which is supposed to quantify a player's basic intelligence. "If a team doesn't like a player and that player gets a low test on the Wonderlic, the team says 'see, we told you he wasn't a good player.' But if they like a player and he scores low, then they just say, 'We never pay any attention to those tests anyway.'" Rob Rang, Sr. Analyst for NFLDraftScout.com, contributed to this report.

Water Buffalo, Kaziranga National Park, India (Christy Williams)
Little is known about wild water buffalo, but we assume that they are mainly grazers who also eat herbs, fruits, and bark1, and browse trees and shrubs. Water buffalo typically forms maternal groups of loosely structured herds, containing around 10–20, but sometimes up to 100, individuals. Adult males form bachelor herds of up to 10 individuals, and older males are generally solitary.1 They exhibit a polygynous mating system, and females typically give birth to a single offspring, though twins are possible.1 They is no preference between night and day.1
More than half of the world's population depend on rice as their staple diet, and it is the domestic water buffalo that allows this rice to be cultivated and threshed with the greatest efficiency.13

Le Moyne College
Since 09/10/2014
Le Moyne College, NY aims to reduce VDI sprawl and create student computing bubbles
In Syracuse, NY, Le Moyne College have seen a cool EdTech future. By using unique, but easily managed, 'student computing bubbles' the college aims to fulfil a student's hardware and software requirements depending on what a student actually needs. This awesome student focussed approach aims to reduce VDI sprawl (and associated cost) and provide better outcomes.
Located in picturesque Syracuse, NY, Le Moyne College is a diverse learning community that strives for academic excellence in the Catholic and Jesuit tradition through its comprehensive programs rooted in the liberal arts and sciences. Its emphasis is on education of the whole person and on the search for meaning and value as integral parts of the intellectual life.
Le Moyne College seeks to prepare its members for leadership and service in their personal and professional lives to promote a more just society. Currently, Le Moyne College serves over 3500 traditional and non-traditional students and offers over 40 programs of study.
After a successful deployment of VMware Horizon View as its VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) solution, the Le Moyne Systems Administration department selected Application Jukebox as their preferred solution for software virtualization.
After reviewing multiple products from major names such as Microsoft, VMware, and Citrix, the team felt that Application Jukebox, delivered by Software2 is the leader in the software virtualization space, leveraging a unique and patented block paging technology for better customization and increased performance.
The Le Moyne team sees Application Jukebox as a solution to three major challenges and goals they have on their computing roadmap:
- Reduce VDI sprawl by consolidating pools created around specialized software needs, thus also reducing licensing costs.
- Achieve the vision of "justintime" software delivery, abandoning the legacy approach of "justincase" delivery, which leads to image bloat and can increase regression testing time.
- Achieve their EUC (end user computing) vision of driving all hardware and software provisioning by the needs of each user, effectively creating a unique but easily managed computing bubble around each person.
After only 10 days with the product, the Le Moyne team has packaged and deployed over a dozen software applications and is looking forward to the summer break when they will completely overhaul the campus-wide software provisioning system.
To help educate their user community, they have launched a creative marketing strategy called "Meet AJ", who they are introducing as the newest member of the IT department.
Nick Johnson, cool EdTech pioneer and Software2 co-founder, comments, "The team at Le Moyne College are one of the most forward thinking and student focussed I have ever met. We love the concept of student computing bubbles – providing the tech a user needs where and when it is needed. I have met many organizations trying to use VDI to deploy everything a student needs. It's really exciting to meet a college looking to adapt and focus on what a student needs"

DUBAI (AFP) – Sri Lanka's Sachitra Senanayake and Kane Williamson of New Zealand were cleared to resume bowling in international cricket on Tuesday after their actions were declared legal.
Both spinners underwent remedial work and re-tests of their bowling after they were suspended earlier this year, during a crackdown on illegal actions or "chucking".
"Since being reported earlier in the year, both bowlers have remodelled their bowling actions prior to applying to have their actions re-tested," an International Cricket Council (ICC) statement said. "The results showed that the level of elbow extension measured for all deliveries bowled was now within the 15-degree level of tolerance permitted under the ICC regulations."
Senanayake, 29, was reported during a one-day international on Sri Lanka's tour to England in June, and was suspended after a bio-mechanical test a month later.
Williamson, 24, was reported during a Test on New Zealand's tour to the West Indies in June, and was also suspended a month later.

Miscellany is out now
Take a look: http://flutteryrecords.com/flttry125 -- out in all the usual places, including a CD.
Take a look: http://flutteryrecords.com/flttry125 -- out in all the usual places, including a CD.
Just a quick update, last week a new updated version of Similis, entitled "Similis: Emendation" was released.
This marks the last of of the "revisiting" of releases. from here on out only new stuff. i just thought Detour and Similis could do with some polishing, abilities i didn't have when they first came out.
i'm still working on the whole production/mixing part of this craft, and while i'm not what anyone would consider "pro" i'm getting better.
Detour: One Year Later is out now on Bandcamp, and in two weeks it'll be available on Spotify, iTunes, Google Play and Youtube.
Basically I spent a week earlier this month to re-do the mix of Detour, and decided it was good enough to put out there, kind of a measure of progress. Hopefully anyway. I think it sounds a bit better.
On Friday, 14 October, Detour: One Year Later will be released on Bandcamp for, "name your own price" and to Spotify.
Never was completely satisfied how I originally mixed this record, and in a year's time I've learned a lot and have been practicing how to get better, and have been working on this record to try to get better at this mixing business, and now I've gotten it to a point where I'd like to get it out there, share it.
In that last post about the next thing, there's going to be a thing before that next thing. i'll be providing details later, but this next next thing is pretty interesting and it's something i've wanted to do for a while and it wasn't till just very recently that the opportunity seemed to be lined up.
and lastly this thing will be much sooner than later. so there's that too.
Similis came out last month, saw around 50 downloads so naturally on the heels of that resounding success, i figured it was time for something new.
This new thing doens't have a name right now, but i have a set of parameters. Essentailly i am only using my 30+ year old tascam 8-track tape machine to record this project. i can't honestly say what it'll sound like, the music i've been writing lately has been more minimialist and ambient so probably something along those lines, but i can't resist perucssion either.
i've not set a time for when this will be done, i wish i could but things are too impossible for that now. i just wanted to put this notice out there to let who ever happens across this and may be a listener know that new material is being worked on.
18 March 2016 "Similis" the new 4-song EP will be released on Bandcamp, Spotify, itunes and Amazon.
A brief teaser for "Similis." The song featured in this clip, "Extemporized," is the 3rd song and is heavier than the rest of the songs on the EP. Not entirely sure why i felt compelled to say that, but i did, so that's pretty much that.
We have titles now. The EP is called "Similis" latin for "similar." Why latin? Because one of my fascinations is with old and nearly dead languages. I can't speak it, can barely read it, but if I can work it into something in a clever way, i will.
Also, there's some word play involved here, and if there's one thing that's true, is i do like my own stupid inside jokes.
So yes, we have song titles which should be of little interest:
An Improvised Waltz in D
(Because why not? it may be a bit brisk)
The Tyranny of Expectations
(a reminder really)
(I should say so)
When Weather Turns to Waves
(something my best friend mentioned)
These songs were written in November and December of 2015, and recorded at the Converse Rubber Tracks studio right here in Boston. A very lovely studio.
A very kind review posted by Arctic Drones.

The amount of hours of classes depends on the student. If you are just getting started, make sure to take at least two weeks of classes. That way you will be able to speak enough Spanish to strike up a basic conversation, order your food and ask for directions.
Even if you want to take more classes, start by reserving two weeks at the Spanish school. Spanish schools always welcome students who wish to add more classes afterwards. They will usually ask you after the first week if you want to take more classes after the second week.
By starting off with just two weeks of classes, you can choose to take more later or change schools if things don't work out. It is a lot more difficult to cancel classes once they have been reserved.
But, I already speak some Spanish
If you already speak some Spanish and you would just like to learn some more in Latin America, great! It will save you some time and money.
Take some classes to learn the local or national slang and work on your verbs a little bit. Start with a week and explain to your Spanish school that you already speak Spanish (a little bit). This way the school can assign a teacher with experience teaching students with knowledge of Spanish.

Who is this Steven Emerson, who first tells Fox News that Birmingham is a "totally Muslim" city, then backtracks and says it is "beautiful" – thus proving twice over that he has never set foot in Birmingham?
A former congressional aide and CNN journalist, Emerson founded The Investigative Project on Terrorism, a Washington-based think tank, in 1995. He is also a well-known pundit, available at any time to pronounce on Middle East terrorism, though his appearances in recent years have been mainly on Fox News, and believes that he is himself a potential terrorist target. As a precaution, visitors to his Washington office are sometimes blindfolded so that they will not know its location.
In 1995, he told CBS News that the bomb that killed 168 people in a federal government had a "middle Eastern trait" - ie was the work of Arab terrorists – because "it was done with intent to inflict as many casualties as possible." Actually, the culprit was a white supremacist, Timothy McVeigh.
In 1996, he alleged that Muslim academics based in the University of South Florida, in Tampa, were implicated in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Centre. "I am constrained at this point form revealing some of those details," he wrote. No one from Tampa has ever been charged with involvement in that outrage.
In 1998, he fed newspapers with an informant who said that Pakistan was planning a nuclear strike against India.
In April 2013, he claimed to have inside knowledge that the person who planted a bomb during the Boston marathon was a Saudi, who was being deported rather than prosecuted because "that's the way things are done with Saudi Arabia: you don't arrest their citizens, you deport them." Actually, the bombers were two Chechens.Reuse content

Minister of General Education Dennis Wanchinga says government is committed to building a new boarding secondary school in Milenge district of Luapula province.
The boarding school will replace Lwela boarding school that has saved the community in the area since 1935.
Dr Wanchinga made the commitment after touring the school in Milenge district.
He said the school will be part of the 89 secondary schools that government in partnership with the World Bank will soon start building.
The school that is situated about 200 kilometres from Milenge boma has no clean drinking water and electricity.
As a short term measure, the Minister has promised to buy a generator, mattresses and a solar powered water pump to cushion problems that pupils face at the school.
Dr Wanchinga who also visited Mapula Primary school in the area further committed to put up a one by three classroom block at the school.
Meanwhile, Milenge Member of Parliament Mwansa Mbulakulima praised government for embarking on infrastructure development especially in the education sector.

The risk of a US attack on Iran can no longer be dismissed. George Bush has identified the country as the next potential target in his campaign against terrorism and tyranny. A military attack is still unlikely, but the consequences are too serious to ignore. The market impact could surpass that of the Iraq war in 2003.
The risk of a US attack on Iran can no longer be dismissed. George Bush has identified the country as the next potential target in his campaign against terrorism and tyranny. A military attack is still unlikely, but the consequences are too serious to ignore. The market impact could surpass that of the Iraq war in 2003.
The US is impatient for progress. Aside from concerns about Iran's nuclear programme, its sponsorship of terrorism and the insurgency in Iraq - on top of its threat to Israel - suggest that the US may seek a regime change within the next two years. On the other hand, elections in the UK, the US's leading ally, and in Iran itself, argue for action being delayed beyond May.
Since the US has put the nuclear weapons issue at the heart of its dispute with Iran, the presumption is that any military action would initially involve a targeted attack on its nuclear facilities. But whether this would meet the US goal of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, still less its ultimate aim of regime change, is doubtful. Thus even if the threatened retaliation by Iran proved to be muted, this would still leave the option of a full-scale invasion "on the table".
Indeed, US military planners may have to allow for the possibility that an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities would be the prelude to an all-out invasion. If so, as in the case of Iraq, a winter assault early in 2006 would be the first practicable opportunity from a military point of view.
If the financial markets' responses in the build-up to the Iraq war were replicated, this would imply: a $12 per barrel increase in the oil price, taking West Texas crude up to more than $60 per barrel; a 14 per cent drop in the Dow Jones, taking other stock markets with it; a plunge in bond yields, taking US 10-year yields down by around 0.75 per cent; and a 10 per cent drop in the US dollar.
But the surge in oil prices and flight from risk might be greater than during the Iraq conflict. Iran is a much bigger oil producer than Iraq, the US is starting from a stretched military and budgetary position, and an invasion would increase the risk of a more serious breach in relations not just with countries in the Middle East but with other erstwhile allies.
The damage to international relations might have a more direct impact on the markets by reducing the willingness of investors to hold US assets. This would compound the downward pressure on the dollar, while offsetting the "safe haven" buying of US Treasury bonds. That said, for most central banks, the priority would probably be to avert a calamitous surge in their currencies. In particular, in its efforts to curb the euro's strength, the European Central Bank might find itself mopping up dollars offloaded by others.
Even if the military victory were swift, the experience of Iraq would make the markets sceptical of the US ability to "win the peace". The terrorist insurgency could be on an even larger scale than in Iraq, and the damage to international relations might prompt a protracted loss of confidence in the financial markets.
Thus the victory rally, the upward leg of the V-shaped pattern the markets traced out for the Iraq war, might be rather more tentative in the case of Iran. The damage this would cause to global confidence, among businesses and consumers, would trigger a severe economic slowdown.
Such thoughts might be seen as a serious deterrent to any US plans to launch an attack on Iran in the first place. But it must be remembered that the Bush administration is not viewing its agenda through an economic prism. As one official, asked about the mounting costs of the war in Iraq, put it: they pale "compared with the costs that the terrorists would like to inflict on us".

Then look no further. Here are the rankings for the five best Red Sox prospects during 2014 Spring Training. You may be surprised who's on and off the list. 5. Drake Britton Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports 5. Drake Britton Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports Drake Britton was pounded on in his appearance, but he has shown a steady improvement this Spring Training. He threw a total of six innings his first three appearances, struck out seven batters and gave up two earned runs. His pitching mechanics look much better than last year and he should be able to make the major league roster as a long-inning relief pitcher. 4. Deven Marrero Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports 4. Deven Marrero Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports Deven Marrero has been the most impressive shortstop down in Fort Meyers. He is 7-for-21 with a home run, two doubles and an OBP of .462. The 23-year old has been solid in the field, and projects to be a solid player someday. Xander Bogaerts has the SS position locked up, but Marrero could be a solid trade chip. 3. Bryce Brentz David Manning-USA TODAY Sports 3. Bryce Brentz David Manning-USA TODAY Sports Bryce Brentz has been on a power surge this Spring. He has nine hits in 22 at-bats, has hit three home runs and driven in seven runs. 2. Christian Vazquez Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports 2. Christian Vazquez Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports We may be looking at the Red Sox' future starting catcher in Christian Vazquez. In eight games, he has five hits in 10 at-bats, one home run and three RBI's. The 23-year-old has the best OBP on the team (.583) and has been incredible behind the dish. He's shown off his rocket arm plenty of times. 1. Will Middlebrooks Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports 1. Will Middlebrooks Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports Will Middlebrooks was enjoying a successful spring before he went down with a minor injury. He is certainly out to prove that he owns the hot corner for the Red Sox. He was solid defensively and was 8-for-26 with two homers and eight RBI's. Hopefully, this continues into the regular season.

Playing the Stock Market
Posted by Dave on May 18, 2010
I like to gamble – I particularly enjoy gambling on sports. I read and understand a lot about sports, having played them for most of my life. Although I have never really kept track I have never lost money over an entire season (I know this because I haven't had to put any new money into my online account).
I recently got an e-mail (spam) from an author who I had purchased an e-book from a couple of years ago and is now selling daily picks for the various major sports (Football, Basketball, Baseball, and Hockey). In the e-mail there was a link to the historical results achieved by the picks, which although not impressive (a win rate of around 60%) the returns (if they were not forged) were similarly not overly impressive, but steady over the previous 3 seasons, this system's baseball results showed an average gross return for of $6,000, which conceivably could be achieved by anyone willing to study the sports involved and employ a similar system of betting. Alternatively, the sports picks could be purchased for a subscription price per season.
What I'm wondering is whether adding sports betting to my retirement portfolio would make sense. I know significantly more about baseball, football and hockey than I do about some of the companies that I watch or indexes that I invest in. There is a lot more transparency occurring in major sports than there is with some of the companies in the stock market (think of the crash that took place a couple of years ago, that started mainly due to a lack of information). Major sports need to provide injury reports daily – their finances are an open book and there are probably just as many reports available on any player in the NFL as there are on most companies listed on the S &P.
The benefit of returns on sports betting is that they are generally tax free1 – a tremendous boon, compared to the stock market. Additionally, there is (for me anyways) a little bit more enjoyment in watching a game to see my possible returns than watching the business channel, or reading business news.
The downside to betting on sports is that it really isn't passive income. I would have to actively be making bets on an almost daily basis in order for any level of profitability to be feasible. Betting on sports is also not really a socially acceptable way to earn a living – If I told my parents (or spouse for that matter) that part of my retirement was based on how well I can predict the point spread on a football game, I'm not sure how excited they would be.
From a diversification of income perspective I don't think that betting on sports is any less risky than most endeavours undertaken, whether it be starting a business, investing in dividend-providing companies, or owning property there are different risks that need to be mitigated in one way or another. I'm not sure what level of returns are possible through gambling, but how much more risky is betting on sports is compared to "investing" in the stock market.
What do you think – Is this a reasonable contribution to my portfolio? Do you have any interesting alternative streams of income in your portfolio?
1 Unless you're a bookmaker or employ a system that minimizes or manages risk. Conceivably, in this circumstance winnings would be taxable, and losses would be deductible as you would be "deemed" to be running a business by the tax code.

I like it…but I am a sports guy! I would consider this as 'entertainment' and any profits could be used for anything you want! But I wouldn't count on it as 'income'.
More like, found money!
What are the payouts for the 60%? Is it: Win = double your bet, Lose = lose your bet. If so then you have a system that prints money and you should put as much money into it as possible. In fact, I would like to learn from you!
Very interesting.
I would suggest that retirement investments are passive (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, GICs etc) and a small business is not passive.
Given the amount of work you would need to do, I would call this a small business. I think it's perfectly legit to create income which could be used for retirement investing although you should start keeping better track of your ROI and time spent.
How do you expect anyone to take you seriously when your website is covered in all of these get rich quick advertisements.
You talk about "investing", but all I see are a bunch of ads telling me to buy penny stocks. What a joke.
Dave, you are on a roll this week. Another great post.
I've read that the guys who bet on sports for a living have a success rate of 51-55%, so I think your 60% goal is perhaps a little too high.
I agree with the other commenters that you need to spend more time figuring out your ROI and time spent. I know when I bet on sports I spend about a minute and a half picking out games. You look at the lines and a couple games jump out at you and you bet on them.
Oh, and injuries aren't always disclosed, especially in the NHL. After so many playoff series you find out whoever was playing hurt.
All that said, it's a really interesting concept. I'd say that you try it for a little while and see just how much money you make. And maybe do a follow-up post to tell us curious people how it's going.
I'm not much of a gambling woman myself, but I like that you've compared sports betting to the stock market . . .depending on how you invest, all you're really doing is gambling and hoping for a certain rate of return.
Financial Uproar is right. Even 1% higher is a license to print money. Just hire an employee to run the analysis if it takes a long time and pump in as much money as possible. 60% is huge.
Sports betting as a financial strategy = stupid
Running a sports betting outfit (as a bookie) = better
"I'm not sure what level of returns are possible through gambling, but how much more risky is betting on sports is compared to "investing" in the stock market."
You don't know anything about investing.
I'm not sure that I would advocate betting as a diversification strategy, although I certainly won't discount it as a means of entertainment. The issue is that for any betting system – unless you're doing it with friends – there are friction costs inherent to the system. Much like the house's take of any bet reduces the pot for all involved. Thus the systemic function of the game is tilted away from you. Not to mention that it's a zero-sum game – someone wins and someone else loses. I would look for systems which are in your favor – for example, the Canadian stock market has grown by 5-6% per year, on average, over the long term. Therefore if you just met the average of the market, you win. Likewise, the American stock market has been growing at 7-8% per year, on average. If everyone just gets average returns, they will still come out ahead.

Excellent comedy. Provides a nice feel good story about relationships,
set in a Birding world.
It is funny, witty and at times a tear jerker. Highly recommended for all audiences.
Comedy of the year in 2014. Has done well at all festivals.
Excellent camera work showing nature (Ojibway Park in Windsor, ON).
A truly good Hollywood type production at a budget 50 times less.
A great cast both in performance and who they are as people. Rarely do I want to see a film twice, this one is worth watching 3 times to pick up all the witty story telling that happens in the film. Definetively a MUST SEE!

As Angela said, you want the DAV:label-name-set property (<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc3253.html#PROPERTY_label-name-set>), which you should be able to retrieve using PROPFIND. Did you try that? Best regards, Julian
