| Copper Crooks Cost Businesses Billions
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Copper thieves struck several downtown businesses Tuesday night in Orlando. Police said one problem catching the thieves is that the stolen metal is untraceable, making it hard to accuse people who are trying to recycle it. In 2005, copper was worth about $1 per pound. Today it is worth around $3 per pound. The increase in value has caused hundreds of Central Florida homes and businesses to be stripped for copper wiring. .

Very true, values have detiorated significantly, but that cannot make the wrongs, right.
If we all take this view of moving with the tide because it is too hard to swim against it, I am not sure who will be able to bail us out.
I have enough proof that religious teaching - sepcially buddhist if practiced can benefit individuals. The society will not change over night, but if each one of us make a commitment to change it is bound to make a difference. Hope a more optimistic, committed approach is practiced by the business leaders, who can be an example to others. We can make a difference. .

But Jimmy Cone's betting there are enough who think otherwise to keep his latest business venture, Cone Farms LLC, growing. Cone — or, more precisely, his old friend Garry Koettel, who manages the farm's daily operations — raises organic heirloom tomatoes in a half-acre greenhouse just this side of Sheridan. They're a high-end, niche product, currently retailing for $5 a pound at the Fresh Market store in West Little Rock, but less than a year into things, demand is so strong that the farm's 6,000 plants can't keep up. Tomatoes aren't naturally a winter crop, of course, and those imported from warmer climates are infamous for their resemblance to cardboard. But Koettel insists that Cone Farms' 'maters are different because they are genuinely vine-ripened, not picked green and treated with ethylene gas to change their color.

Phil Humber has not excelled at any professional level after a stellar college career at Rice. He also had Tommy John surgery. I'd rather have Hughes or Lester. Carlos Gomez is one of the top outfielding prospects that the Mets had. He's a raw talent with blazing speed (Jose Reyes claims that Gomez runs faster than him) and some pop in his bat. However, Gomez gets caught stealing quite a bit, being thrown out about 30% of the time in the minors. His lifetime batting average in the minors is .278, his lifetime on base percentage is .339, and his slugging percentage is .399. Doesn't really jump off the page. He is young, only 22 years old and may develop into a nice player. I'd rather have Melky or Ellsbury. I think this is a great deal for the Mets. I don't think the Mets will miss these prospects and they are getting perhaps the best pitcher in the game.
