The former-Yorkshire County Cricket Club/Yorkshire fast bowler made headlines for a spell of bowling against Ugandan cricket team/Uganda of 4 for 7, identical to fellow bowler Tim Bresnan.

In 2004 Stiff decided to leave Yorkshire amid a lot of interest from other counties.

He toured Australia with the Under-17s in 2001, and with the Under-19s in 2003, also playing in the Under-19s World Cup in Bangladesh.

In 2007, Stiff was released by Kent and went to Leicestershire. At the start of the 2009 season Stiff joined Somerset on a two-month trial and on 14 May 2009 he accepted an extension to his contract which would last until the end of that season. In August 2010, Somerset's Director of Cricket, Brian Rose (cricketer)/Brian Rose announced that Stiff's contract would not be renewed for the 2011 season.

Things have also been slowing down a little in Boston.

It's so hard to time the real estate market. You should see all the spreadsheets.

If your goal is to find a place to live, don't worry about timing.

There is huge demand for waterfront homes. Right now, if you look at the Florida coast, the Jersey shore you see second-home buying driving appreciation.

In cheaper markets interest rates probably won't matter as much as the local economy. These are places where new supply matches new demand, and you just have steady appreciation.

The zips that did the best were right in the city or in the outlying areas. People are being pushed into the inner city or out toward the suburbs.

The problem with migration numbers is they come out too late.

We considered this trend to be unsustainable because so many households were already priced out of the Bay Area market and the prospects for the local economy were not good, so we adjusted the forecast to 7.5 percent.

The demand for apartments may come from a different group of people. After the dot-com crash in Boston, rents started falling because unemployment rose faster among a group of people that was more inclined to rent.
