eBay beats expectations, raises outlook
SAN FRANCISCO - Online auction leader eBay today reported quarterly results that beat Wall Street expectations and said its outlook for the rest of the year would be at the high end of analysts' predictions. Shares of eBay jumped as much as 6 per cent after the company posted a 52 per cent jump in net profit on a 27 per cent revenue rise, led by growth in its core auctions business and the rising prominence of international sales.

Maine fishing industry and its fish auction in jeopardy
PORTLAND, Me. (AP) - The forklifts zig and zag through the chilled warehouse, their forks balancing plastic crates filled with cod, haddock, pollock, flounder and other catch hauled from the North Atlantic. The smell of fresh fish hangs heavy in the air on a recent Sunday as more than a dozen buyers for seafood processors and wholesalers slide into their seats at the Portland Fish Exchange, a commercial fish auction that's been around for 21 years. Spread on the tables before them are sheets listing the types and amounts of fish to be sold. Telephones are pressed to their ears. They've already inspected the catch so auctioneer Paul Dewey begins the bidding. "I have 88 cents, looking for nine. I'm looking for nine," Dewey says in rapid-fire fashion as he auctions off a batch of pollock.

That's one of several weeks during the year - the week before Christmas, the week between Christmas and New Year's Day, the week that deer season opens - when nobody actually shows up at the office.They get away with it, obviously, through the wonders of voice mail. If, for example, you're supposed to be at your desk Monday through Friday but have a hankering to do some telecommuting in Mazatlan by Tuesday, you simply leave the following message on your office telephone's answering machine:"Hi, this is Steve Crump. It's Tuesday, and I expect to be in the office for the rest of the week. If you've reached this recording, then I've just stepped away from my desk."About 1,900 miles away, actually.This ruse works because anyone who seriously wants to get in touch with you has your cell phone number.
