As is usually the case, it takes longer to make money than it does to lose it. Case in point, it took me about two weeks to make $20,000, and only 5 days to lose $31,000. So it shouldn't be surprising that it will take me more than 5 days to gain it back.Today's loss was about $3,400, so at least it did not erase yesterday's gains. The sad thing, is that in the first 10 minutes of trading I was up
Sorana Cirstea Stops Kirilenko Win Streak in Opener
It was a day of surprises at the Ordina Open Tuesday, which began with No.6 seed Maria Kirilenko's exit after wildcard entry Sorana Cirstea beat the Barcelona winner, 75 64. It was the second time the Romanian has faced a Top 20 player in the last two weeks, but she always enjoys the challenge.
"It feels very good," Cirstea said. &quo
Dale Earnhardt Jr. is the darling of NASCAR, but the motorsport's most popular driver was completely winless for the last 76 races until this past weekend when the Intimidator's son won the LifeLock 400 at Michigan International Speedway. Junior won the race in an odd way, literally coasting across the finish line on an empty tank of gas under a caution flag after Patrick Carpenter spun out on la
Saturday, June 14, 2008 2:56 AMBy SHELBY LYMANPerhaps the best estimate of a world champion's strength is how he compares with his contemporaries.Garry Kasparov thinks that, by this metric, no one ranks higher than Bobby Fischer, who won an unprecedented 20 straight games against grandmaster opposition in a 1971-72 run-up to his world-title match with Boris Spassky.In 1981, Fischer played 17 infor

A cooling fan on hot day. Orange Popsicles. Ice-cold sangria. The 2009 Ford Flex. What do these things have in common? Each is undeniably refreshing.
Yes, after a seemingly interminable series of painfully bland products, Ford has finally built something interesting. And after a brief drive of the Flex—in, of all places, New York City and its swanky ’burbs—we’re feeling cautiously optimist

It takes a lot to be a winner. And it’s not easy! Sometimes you win and still you are a loser, while at other times you might have lost that important match of your life but still you land up with so many accolades and appreciation in your pocket that you are the real winner in the long run. That’s because the fame associated with winning is short lived. We have the feeling of “Is that all there is?”(Bill Watterson once wrote these words in his comic strip ‘Calvin and Hobbes’) after the glory of winning has faded away.We often complain and grumble, when we have put in all the efforts and they don’t bear fruits in the end. There might have been other reasons for not winning the competition but what feedback you get is the greatest reward for you at that time. Even a few words
The Yankees were able to stop their three game losing streak with a 5-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners.ON THE MOUND:Chien-Ming Wang started for the Yanks and was very strong, again. In 6 IP, he allowed just 1 run on 3 hits, walking 2 & striking out 5 along the way. The only run came on a RBI ground out by Raul Ibanez in the 6th scoring Ichiro who not to mention stole two bags tonight ( 2nd & third). That run ended Wang's consecutive streak without allowing a run to score in 12 1/3 IP . Wang however did pick up his 6th win of the year. He is now 8-0 lifetime against the Mariners with an ERA under 3.Kyle Farnsworth, Joba Chamberlain and Mariano Rivera each threw one scoreless inning to close out the victory.

The game between the Oakland A's and Cleveland Indians on Sunday was a bit too easy for Indians starting pitcher Cliff Lee. Maybe the raw weather conditions in Cleveland had something to do with it, but nonetheless, Lee pitched well, ending Oakland's 5-game winning streak, easily defeating the Athletics 7-1 at Progressive Field. Grady Sizemore led the Indians' attack, going 2-for-4 with 2 runs scored and 3 RBIs while Travis Hafner added 2 hits and 2 RBIs; Jamey Carroll scored 3 runs. Winning pitcher Lee (2-0) pitched 8 innings, allowing only 2 hits and an earned run while striking out 8.Oakland managed to muster only 3 hits, with Travis Buck, Mark Ellis and Kurt Suzuki with a hit apiece - with Buck scoring a run and Ellis adding an RBI.

Trachsel was respectable; however, he had a tough seventh inning and ended up yielding two runs.In game two, Loewen is looking as I thought he’d be — off. From my point of view, he’s trying to find himself on the mound and seems to be kind of forcing things. At the rate he’s going, it could be a short night for the tall lefty. However, he’s managed to work himself out a few jams. Despite Jay Payton's two-run shot and Millar'

...Great article from Mets.com which takes a closer look into David Wright' great performance in yesterday's home opener.Wright had the following to say about his current hitting streak and what he cares about:"If I can keep driving in some runs and scoring some runs, I'll take that over a hitting streak," he said. "I need to get off to a better start than I did last year. I wasn't too happy about my April [in 2007].""I want production," he said. "I want to drive balls into the gaps, score runs and drive some runs in. You can have the home runs. Let me drive in some runs and set up the guys behind me.""Our offense absolutely clicks when we keep the line moving," he said, meaning when the Mets are able to get a number of hitters on base. "We don't necessarily get the big towering home run -

16 Reasons Why the Pirates Streak Won't End in 2008I originally wrote this piece for Deadspin's 2008 Baseball Preview SeriesI sat in this spot last year and labored through not one, not two, but 79 reasons why it's hard to be a Pirate fan. The research alone for that article made me question why I still bother with this organization. Of course, that in itself was the answer: they're a gold mine of comedic material, whether they try or not.So what did the 2007 Pirates do to prove me wrong? For starters, they went 68-94, extending their streak to an amazing 15 consecutive losing seasons. Their big bat, outfielder Jason Bay, who never met a called strike three that he didn't like, watched his offensive output fall quicker than Roger Clemens' credibility. Freddy Sanchez, the 2006 NL batting ch

Well, I didn't make it to seven days of NLNE (No Late Night Eating). I had about two or three ounces of chocolate last night at about 8:30. What a waste of calories. I was just jumping and twitching from the caffeine (like restless legs) and while doing my relaxation yoga I couldn't stay in the poses. My muscles were twitching uncomfortably. This never happened to me before, but I have never been this clean from caffeine before.I am going to start again though and see where I end up. So tonite will be day one, hopefully.I wonder how this works. How can I go to bed weighing three pounds more than I do when I wake up when all I lose is water weight (tinkle)? Anyway, after all that food I ate last night, I woke up to be 159.4, which is down another .4 pounds. I really like this digital scale.
The Blue Streak roller coaster located in Conneaut Lake Park has now officially been placed on the endangered species list.

Ireland maintained seventh place in the A1GP championship after the two Zhuhai races, but were squeezed off the podium by China in the sprint race and surrendered their record of always scoring during a trouble-strewn feature race.
Adam Carroll began the sprint race from third on the grid and harried Switzerland’s Neel Jani for second until the safety car came out for an incident further down the field.
When it went in again he was unable to stick with the Swiss or the eventual race winner, Michael Ammermüller of Germany, and on lap 10 home favourite CongFu Cheng made a sensational overtaking move stick to deny him the podium.
His fourth place kept up Ireland’s title challenge, but the feature race was not so successful. Starting far back in 13th, Carroll was caught in a first lap incident that dumped him down to 16th behind the safety car.
Some hard racing and good pit work brought him up to eighth but the car was carrying a bent wishbone from the lap one incident and
The New York Jets have been close many times this season, and on Sunday in the upset of the day they finally cashed in, beating the clearly underestimating Pittsburgh Steelers 19-16 in overtime at the Meadowlands. Mike Nugent kicked a 38-yard field goal in overtime, coming after returner Leon Washington took back a punt 26 yards to set up the Jets in excellent field position for their game-winning drive. The Steelers played by far their worst game of the season, and one week after people were putting them on the level of the Colts and maybe even the Pats, the black and gold were beaten up by a team that had won just one game heading into Sunday’s action.
The blame for this garbage are plenty for the now 7-3 Steelers. They could not, as usual as of late, protect Ben Roethlisberger much at all, and allowed a season-high seven sacks. They could not get the running game going, and their run defense was beaten for their first 100+ yard game in over two seasons. Thomas Jones had

The University of Portland won the West Coast Conference Men's Cross Country Team title today for the 29th year in a row at the Crystal Springs Course. While the streak is amazing enough by itself, if you look at the numbers closely, you find that the streak is even more impressive.To begin, Portland today scored 32 points for the victory. That was the HIGHEST score they have had in 29 victories! The streak started in 1979 with their first conference victory when their top five runners all came in at the same time and were all declared the winners. They have accomplished the score of 15 (first five runners in the race) TEN TIMES! In fact, they were able to score a perfect score of 15, five years in a row (1995-1999).Portland also had the individual winner from 1979-2006. Think about that one for a second. They had the individual and team winner for 28 straight years! While the team victory streak remained intact today, the individual winner streak is over. University of San F

In a defensive AFC West showdown, Chiefs RB Larry Johnson was enough as Kansas City beat the Raiders in Oakland 12-10 to continue their dominance over the Silver and Black. Johnson ran for 112 yards and scored the deciding TD early in the 4th quarter to go up 12-7. Oakland had a last shot, as they got the ball down 12-10 with 1:38 left. After driving to their 44, Daunte Culpepper threw a pick to Jason Page to end the Raiders last threat.
Kansas City improves to 4-3 on the season, dropping the Raiders to 2-4. Damon Huard went 16-for-31 for KC, with 177 yards. Culpepper was 18-for-29 for 228 yards with a TD and a pick. Neither team did all that much on offense, as the Raiders went for just 268 total yards, while the Chiefs went for 290 yards. The big stat was that Oakland was only able to rush for 55 yards, as the Chiefs held LaMont Jordan to 29 yards on 11 carries.
The game also marked the return for Chiefs RB Priest Homles, who had not played since the 2005 season. He entered

The U.S. men's national team ended a 5 game losing streak, which believe it or not was the longest since 1994, with a 1-0 victory over Switzerland in very soggy conditions.Michael Bradley scored the lone goal in the 86th minute after Clint Dempsey deflected Danny Szetela's cross into the air. It wasn't the prettiest goal ever, but a goal is a goal in my book, especially if it leads to victory.The U.S. is now 10-5-1 under new coach Bob Bradley. Those 5 losses are a bit deceiving because 3 of those losses came in the Copa America, where we chose to send our "B" squad.The U.S. will next see action in South Africa this November. Look for the U.S. to send it's "#1 squad" to that match, which could see Landon Donovan become USA's all-time leading goal scorer.

Their creed is: “Everything that does not kill me makes me stronger”. A strong man takes any test and failure as a step to growth. “During my career I missed more than nine thousand times. I lost more than three hundred matches. Twenty nine times I was trusted to do a prayer to make my team a winner – and I missed. I faced defeat again and again. That’s why I’m a champion!” There words belong to a greatest sportsman of the times, a legendary man, Michael Jordan, a basketballer. He earned about five million dollars during his career.

Any failure makes a weak person, weaker in all attitudes

With a MLB season high 23 hits, the Colorado Rockies smashed the Milwaukee Brewers 19-4 on Wednesday.
However for the Brewers it was their fourth loss in a row.
Ryan Spilborghs, an outfielder for the Colorado Rockies said:
“Today’s like one of those snowball days where it just keep going and hits keep coming,”
“We’re almost fighting each other to get to the bat rack on days like this.”
How long do you think the Colorado Rockies can continue this run?
Also, are the Brewers going to snap out of their losing streak any time soon?

“I saw him was he was 12 years old. I knew his father well,” Tyler said Thursday. “What better time to do it than to go now? When I heard he wanted me to go to Cooperstown, how could I say no? The streak doesn’t mean that much when you’re thinking about your relationship with the Ripken family.”
“If I were ill or got hurt, there might be some remorse,” Tyler said. “But under the circumstances, there are no regrets whatsoever. I thought about it for two weeks now, and I’m just overwhelmed and honored to go up
