Either way I feel good about where we are going and for once I feel just as good ab

Once we had set camp each afternoon I would gather our Fijian Crew led by a really nice guy named Tom jump in the support boat and going fishing with the only gear I had, namely salmon fishing gear brought from Oregon. We had some epic days fishing mainly around the Nagagia Island area. There wasn't any charter operations or boats down there then, but I thought what a great place to bring a boat and set up shop.

With the month only 9 days old -- yes, some like it hot, some like it cold, some like it in the barrel 9 days old -- WTI light sweet is up a stupendous 11% month to date!

Ahead of the likely price hike, car sales jumped 17.2 % in the month of April. In fact it was the highest sales recorded in the past seven months. The highest number of sales was recorded by Maruti Suzuki India, the car market leader in India. The Indian buyers have taken advantage of the excise cuts and fantastically lower prices. Coupled with this, some car dealers even offered freebies with the car to push sales up. Those who wanted to buy cars after 3-4 months, advanced their dates to take maximum advantage of the price reduction. The gamble has paid well for car manufacturers. They now have health numbers of sales to show for this fiscal year. This is an irony of car business, where prices tumbled by Rs 2,000 to Rs 18,000 in March and continued in April. However, May will witn

The LA Times, OC Register and other media outlets tend to use data from DataQuick to measure home prices and sales. Here's data we're trying out from a different source: The County Recorder's Office via Melissa Data.The information is for the month of April, and compares that data to numbers from April of 2007.Important thing to be aware of: This data includes "average"sales price instead of median sales price, so we're assuming it is measuring the mean. This is easily skewed by a small number of high-end sales, particularly in ZIPs with few total sales (for instance, if there was a $5 million home sold and the only other sales in that ZIP code were four for $200,000 each, the median would be $200,000 but the mean would be $1,160,000). Which is closer to describing the true "average" home

FROM BRYAN HOCH :NEW YORK -- Asked to explain his early-season success, Mariano Rivera wonders if it could have something to do with the regular opportunities the Yankees have provided.

Rivera was selected as the winner of the "DHL Presents the Major League Baseball Delivery Man of the Month Award" for April in an announcement made Wednesday. This officially sanctioned Major League Baseball award recognizes the most outstanding relief pitcher during each month of the regular season. Rivera was a perfect 8-for-8 in save opportunities in April, his best start to a season since he converted his first 12 chances in 2004. The right-hander allowed no earned runs in 10 games, strik
