JU, this is what I was kind of referring to with the banks:

Seyfarth
NEW YORK CITY-While waiting for the pool of distressed assets to deepen, most buyers have just dipped their toes in the water in "one-off deals," says Ernst & Young in a study released this week. "We haven't seen many portfolio transactions so far," Chris Seyfarth, the study's author, tells GlobeSt.com. "Given the size and the magnitude of the problem with banks, I think the expectation is that at some point we'll start seeing sizable portfolio transactions."
The study found that 53% of respondents to an E&Y survey have purchased distressed or nonperforming loans in the last 18 months. However, 45% of those who have not yet pulled the trigger believe it's too early in the game to even attempt to purchase nonperforming loans at the moment.

One reason is the slow rate at which distressed assets are coming onto the market. Distressed situations are "piling up faster than they're being resolved," says Seyfarth, E&Y's San Francisco-based national director of nonperforming loans. He adds, "The broad view is that commercial real estate assets are getting worse, not better, and that's going to impact financial institutions. The issue is that the price expectations are different between the two players, and in some cases significantly different."

That gap will only be narrowed by sellers coming down on the ask side, rather than buyers changing their pricing calculations, says Seyfarth. "I think we'll reach equilibrium quarter by quarter, as banks continue to increase their reserve levels and drop their book values."

In the meantime, banks have held assets back from the market in the belief that they couldn't afford to sell for what buyers are willing to pay, in many cases preferring to go the workout route. That may be changing soon: "Workouts are costly and time-consuming, and they're not really what banks are set up to do," Seyfarth says.

Commercial whole loans are the preferred investment vehicle for 45% of respondents, more than twice as many as those who preferred either residential and land loans. Seyfarth says he doesn't expect that to change over the next 12 months.

If investors aren't willing to pay higher prices, neither are they setting their expectations as high when it comes to returns. "Only 35% of those investors polled claim to have return requirements above 20% and an equal number actually are shooting for returns in the 10% to 15% range," Seyfarth says in a release. He adds that once the wave of distressed opportunities comes crashing in, the market could deepen and grow competitive quite quickly.

1 word... deliquencies.....remember it folks...its the next shoe to drop and some banks have very big exposure....too late on a friday to go into it...its cold beverage time

on another note its almost time to head to the barn...wife is poolside and made a pitcher of cayman lemonades and is icing them down (bless her heart) waiting for pbr to come crashing in....lamp is lit

I'd put Jeter in the HOF for Brewster and Biel (LOVE those two).  

Postseason records are pointless.  Wouldn't Mickey Mantle, Ruth or Gherig slaughteres those records if they had three rounds of playoffs?  Divisional series started in 93.  

JT looks at the roster of babes as a full baseball team and two on the bench. Although for JT, nothing beats Minka Kelly in a cheerleader outfit.

It would still seem that Jeter ups his game in the playoffs (except for Detroit 2006).

Quite a 'loaded' pair of paragraphs!

So, who is 'regular season' and who is 'playoffs' among the babes?  And any first-hand knowledge that he 'upped his game' in the playoffs?  Enquiring minds want to know!

Whomever has the better OBP, RBI, and HR's 

Best ever in hits and runs scored.  Kinda what the #1 or #2 hitter is supposed to do.

I've had some 'sniper' knock me a point a day every day for four months (net, down 80+ total).  He's smart enough to never do it when I'm on-line, so I haven't identified the culprit (yet!).

Damned coward!

Again, the cornhole is taking karma from people for what? This asshole needs to find a hobby. If I could drop some K on my boys I would but don't think I can do it yet. When can you give karma? Is it a certain amount of posts or what? Just curious boys...by the way lamp is lit for the weekend here in NH.

You've been able to give karma for your last 522 posts!  It is the applaud and smite buttons under a poster's karma count.

[I just demonstrated by applauding you. ]

Like dlip, I have been wondering what the magic number is, and now I know. Thanks for the definitive answer Ypsi.

If Jeter were on the LLPP, The Rev might have to give him -K for Mariah Carey.
Other than that, many of those birds were so fit that The Rev hasn't even heard of them.

That was Jeter's first hit on the fame ladder.  Think of it as only being a pull hitter before learning to hit the ball to all fields.
