Brunch Gone Bananas

October 2, 2011 |

Nashville, TN – Big, beautiful bunches of perfectly ripe bananas are almost irresistible. Available year-round, you can always count on bananas to be there for you – to slice over cereal, for snacks, fruit salads and an amazing variety of recipes, from main dishes to delectable desserts. This tropical fruit is one of the most popular fruits in the United States, but was virtually unknown in this country until the 1800s.

Over the years, a remarkable assortment of banana recipes have been created like banana pudding, banana cream pie and the revered, but unassuming, banana bread. In fact, the addition of bananas to bread and cake recipes is almost magic, contributing a creamy sweet flavor and moist delicious texture.

Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan – Growing up in El Salvador, Spc. Francisco Javier Fuentes’s days were filled up a few hours of school and many more working the fields. As he harvested the corn and fruits or took the crops to sell in the city, Fuentes remembers seeing the Salvadoran armed forces walking the streets and keeping the country safer.

He followed the boot steps of the cammo-clad soldiers of his childhood, years later in the U.S. Army.

After more than five years wearing the uniform, Fuentes took an oath and became a U.S. citizen at the Joint Sustainment Command – Afghanistan Naturalization Ceremony, September 28th.

The Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of October 2nd

By Frazier Allen | October 2, 2011 |

Market Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist

Scott J. Brown Ph.D., Chief Economist Raymond James Investment Services

The news out of Europe was better. Leaders expressed a greater resolve to overcome the region’s difficulties and keep the euro intact. Germany’s parliament approved (by a wide margin) an expansion of the European Financial Stability Facility. However, the strains remain. There is a long and bumpy path ahead and the markets are expected to react to the news day by day.

U.S. economic data were mixed, but generally better than anticipated. The government’s third estimate of second quarter GDP growth was revised higher, to a 1.3% annual rate vs. +1.0% in the second estimate. The second quarter is pretty much ancient history at this point, but consumer spending and business fixed investment were both revised higher. The advance report on durable goods orders showed a pickup in shipments of nondefense capital goods ex-aircraft in August – suggesting that business fixed investment will post a strong gain in 3Q11 (not surprising, as corporate profits are a major driver of capital spending, and profits were at a record high in 2Q11). Consumer confidence remained depressed in September (after sinking in August), with continued pessimism on jobs. Weekly jobless claims fell unexpectedly in the latest week, but seasonal adjustment makes the figures unreliable. «Read the rest of this article»
