1. green ==> SELL

2. yellow ==> BUY A LITTLE

3. black ==>> BUY A LOT

That seems to be the way they work out...if that's the case, you have quite an accurate system there... -g

You Can Steal From City Hall

2 hours, 51 minutes ago Add Strange News - AP to My Yahoo!


AUSTIN, Texas - You may not be able to fight city hall, but you can steal from it — at least for awhile.



John David Woods has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for stealing more than $100,000 from 24 city halls across Texas to pay off Internet gambling debts.

Prosecutors said Woods, 34, had developed a system during the three-year string of thefts: He would rent a car, drive to another town, sneak into the city hall and take all the money he could find.

"He said he felt like it wasn't stealing from people because it was money possessed by the city," Williamson County District Attorney John Bradley said.

Woods, who agreed to the sentence Wednesday, was caught in December at the city hall in the Central Texas town of Cedar Park. A city employee saw him there at about 9 p.m. and called police, said prosecutor Doug Arnold.

Cedar Park police broadened the investigation to more than 30 cities after Woods confessed to similar burglaries.

Arnold said the burglaries began when Woods, a self-employed home appraiser, got into debt by playing craps on an Internet gambling site. His losses were electronically debited from his bank account.

Man Gets 6 Months for Swinging Alligator

Fri Sep 10, 7:14 AM ET Add Strange News - AP to My Yahoo!


DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - A man who swung an alligator at his girlfriend during an argument was sentenced to six months in jail.



David Havenner, 41, of Port Orange, pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and possession of an alligator, said Linda Pruitt, spokeswoman for the State Attorney's Office. He changed his earlier plea of not guilty, she said Wednesday.

He was sentenced to six month in jail with 48 days credit for time served during the Sept. 1 hearing, according to court records.

Sheriff's officials said Havenner was keeping the 3-foot gator in his bathtub and swung it at his girlfriend, Nancy Monico, 39, during an argument on July 16.

Monico told investigators that Havenner beat her with his fists, then grabbed the gator and swung it at her as she tried to escape. The gator struck Monico at least once, after which time Havenner threw empty beer bottles at her and then kicked her out of their mobile home, she told investigators.

Havenner told investigators that Monico bit his hand because she was upset that they had run out of alcohol.

The alligator was later released into the St. Johns River, wildlife commission officials said.

Racing Pigeons Face Dope Testing

Fri Sep 10, 8:48 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!


LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's pigeon racers are being subjected to random dope tests as the sport's ruling body clamps down on suspected foul play.



The Royal Pigeon Racing Association has sent test kits to 60 race organizers across England after complaints some birds have been given performance-enhancing drugs such as anabolic steroids and synthetic hormones.

"Just like any other sport, there is a suspected small, determined band of cheats who are spoiling things for other owners," Peter Bryant, the Royal Pigeon Racing Association's general manager, told the Daily Telegraph newspaper on Thursday.

"We are hoping to send more and more of the kits to smaller organizations. It is sad that it has come to this but it is the only way we are going to know if the sport is clean."

Britain has more than 50,000 pigeon racers, known as "pigeon fanciers," breeding a million birds a year to race against each other in what can be long-distance endurance events.
