A Currency Conundrum: Beware of the U.S. Dollar?s ?Head Fake? Rally
2008-05-08 17:48:00 Don?t mistake the U.S. dollar?s recent rally for strength. If anything, it?s a head fake of legendary proportions. In fact, the dollar?s recent run-up is actually a warning that risks are escalating. To better understand what I mean here, let?s look at the greenback?s recent performance against the euro. After bottoming at an all-time low of $1.6019 versus the euro on April 22, the dollar has soared nearly 4% and was trading at $1.5428 per euro early yesterday (Wednesday). Now many of the Wall Street types expect that rally to continue. Just yesterday, UBS AG (UBS) predicted the greenback would rise to $1.47…SHARETHIS.addEntry(-{ title: "A Currency Conundrum: Beware of the U.S. Dollar?s ?Head Fake?

Beware the underdog
2008-05-03 17:36:00 Whilst watching the replay of Ronnie O’Sullivan vs Stephen Hendry today I was reminded of a conversation I’d had with Kevin Rapley, Daniel Davies and Danny Smith at the last Birmingham blogmeet. Cor, name-dropper me. Dan Davies (who, to lessen confusion shall henceforth be known by his web-name as Danux) was quizzing me over a post I’d written about open source web technologies, upon which he’d already commented. At this point I was set upon by both Daniels and accosted. Danny Smith wanted to know why I couldn’t get behind the open source ethos and posited the theory that it’s all about the underdog, a concept we Brits love. (I can hear the Great Escape theme in my head as I type.) This was a viewpoint I could understand, and it was the first time anyone had tried to intelligently explain why open source has value, apart from the financial benefits of not having to pay for your software. This helped me understand why I have the utmost respect for the open source etho...
Smokers beware: Ontario to enact auto smoking ban to protect children
2008-05-02 21:02:00 Smokers beware: Ontario to enact auto smoking ban to protect children The government of Ontario introduced a bill last Wednesday that calls for a smoking ban in cars when children are present. If the legislation is made into law, it will make it illegal to smoke in any vehicle while a person 16 years old or younger is a passenger. Moreover, the proposal covers pretty much any scenario — whether the car is moving or stationary and would apply even if a smoker had a window, sunroof, roof, door or other feature open. The fine for such an offense would be 250 Canadian dollars. Ontario would not be the first to enact such a law as Nova Scotia, Yukon, Arkansas, California, Maine, Louisiana, Puerto Rico, South Australia and Tasmania already have similar legislation in place, according to Canadian Driver.

Kelly NYP Arianna Huffington claims that she was banished from NBC News shows because her new book, "Right is Wrong," blasted "Meet the Press" anchor Tim Russert. Huffington is the force behind the Huffington Post, an influential political Web site where she had started a blog called "Russert Watch." Her new book, which is slated to hit later this week carries the sub title, "How the Lunatic Fringe Hijacked America, Shredded the Constitution and Made Us All Less Safe." Aside from being the anchor, Russert is also the managing editor of the show, the Washington Bureau Chief of NBC News and a senior vice president of NBC News. Huffington dubs him "EZ Pass" Russert because she claims his softball questions give the Washington elite a free wave-through when they appear on his shows. While he may ask a tough opening question, he ...

2008-04-29 06:39:00 Beware of Dougby Elaine FoxHe's Nobody's Best Friend!Lily Tyler's very interested in her sexy new neighbor, private jet pilot Brady Cole. Brady could really go for smart, gorgeous Lily. The fire that's generated whenever they're together isn't just chemical... it's nuclear!But then there's Doug...The real ruler of the roost - Lily's noisy, nasty, match-mauling pooch - Doug likes to greet anyone he dislikes with yaps, nips, and very unpleasant surprises. And Doug does not like Brady. (Doug, in fact, doesn't like anybody - except Lily, of course. And, oddly enough, the squeaky clean, partner-track attorney whom Lily's domineering dad would love for his dutiful daughter to marry.)Brady's no canine fan to begin with - and Doug's the devil-dog incarnate! But Lily could never get serious with anyone who doesn't click with her precious puppy - so Brady's going to need a lot more than great looks, smooth charm, and hot passion to get himself out of the doghouse and into Lily...

Beware of These Tick Problems with Your Dog!
2008-04-21 14:55:00 By Kelly MarshallThe first kind of 'ticks' that you would hate!Generally, we love ticks, especially, as a child. What a feeling we had, when we got them on our Math papers! But beware! These are some fatal ones!Are you enjoying a walk with your dog, especially, in a shrubby area, full of grass and bushes? If yes, better take care. Ticks will lie in the grass and bushes sometimes climbing higher for a better chance of making contact. They can detect vibrations of an animal walking through and are also able to use their modified scent to detect the carbon dioxide and odors of a mammal's breath. Once detected, they will just jump on you.Ticks on dogs and puppies are unsightly, painful, and sometimes very dangerous. These blood sucking insects feed on all vertebrates but are particularly kin to dogs and cats as they tend to enjoy the same places your pets do. And they can expand 20 to 100 times its size as it feeds. And the scariest thing about them is the fact that ticks can go unno...

Beware of Lottery Email Scam
2008-04-17 19:46:00 Millions of Euros and U.S. Dollars were divested from unsuspecting Internet users. Nigerian online scammers hit the virtual world again with their "You've just won a Spanish Lottery" fake promotion. Of course, one who has the common sense should immediately dismiss this email as scam. Why would one win a Spanish lottery that he/she did not participate in? One of the victims, the BBC reported, was an Anglican bishop. Victims, mostly from the US and the European Union, were asked by the scammers to send money to claim their prizes. In one of my blogsites, I have been posting scam emails that got their way into my inbox. In my own simple way, I'm just trying to generate awareness so that people won't fall victims.At times greed for money and people's own unupdated ignorance have made millions of Internet users easy targets of email scams.

Buyer Beware: Protect Your Baby from Bisphenol A (BPA)
2008-04-17 00:49:00 Bisphenol A or BPA has been in the news lately. According to this article:"The chemical Bisphenol A (BPA), widely used to make plastic packaging products, has just been declared toxic enough to be linked to a host of severe developmental and reproductive disorders common all across the United States. Breast and prostate cancers and premature puberty are some of the disorders associated with exposure to BPA."At the most, this is another reason to breastfeed. At the least (and for moms who pump), this is a reason to switch bottles.However, BPA can be in a host of other plastic products besides bottles- including sippy cups, storage bottles, and food storage containers.The following companies claim that their products are BPA-free:Medela: All bottles Dr Brown?s: Glass Bottles (all vent system pieces BPA Free), Dr. Browns Polypropylene bottles (due in store?s April 15th) BornFree: All bottles and cups BPA free Avent ?Via? disposable bottles Adiri Natural Nursers For a complete list o...
Beware Of Fraudulent High Performance Accessories At Cheap Prices! By Trevo
2008-04-16 20:13:00 Since the 1980's, criminals have been selling fraudulent high performance car accessories at a cheaper price. The dangers go beyond loss of revenue to the automotive industry. The lower price may save a few bucks in your pocketbook in an automotive world where gas prices are ballooning out of control. It's understandable but dwell on this: most of these discount car accessories and parts sacrifice quality and safety with more inexpensive and less strong materials.Sometimes what you see is not what you get. On the surface, an article might look like the real deal, but it turns out to be nothing but smoke and mirrors. Several years ago, CBS Evening News featured a report about counterfeit aftermarket automotive accessories. Brake pads that contained compressed grass or wood chips instead of the usual material were sold to consumers. Brakes are one part that you don't want to mess with, and having faulty brake pad material could be costly in more ways than one. To be on the safe sid...

2008-04-15 06:59:00 Where to place more value, which to take care of more ? brands or customers? The perennial question which gnaws every brand and corporate identity conscious company! But is this question so difficult? After all a brand as a stand alone entity without any takers, read customers, is nothing but epitome of resource wastage. Brands can have little relationship to the success or profitability of companies. Consider "Sock Puppet," Commodore, Skytrain and other brands or brand images that have died, not for lack of great branding or corporate identity of the brand holding company, but for the lack of customers. GM recently announced that Buick and Pontiac may follow Oldsmobile to the brand graveyard, discovering, like so many others, that all the "brand equity" in the world cannot pay a single healthcare or other bill. So why do companies err on the side of branding by devoting attention to increasing the value of the brands? They get entangled in the buzzwords such as "brand equity," "...

Jewish Students Beware! A Cyberpath is Targetting You
2008-04-14 01:29:00 A warning has been sent to Jewish communities concerning an internet predator that specifically targets religious Jewish students. The predator goes by the alias of either David Newman or David Goodman will frequently use social networking sights like Facebook to contact young Jewish men and womenClaiming to be a student from NYU, he will first “friend” students and eventually coerce them into meeting with him in person. He then physically assaults his victim.Though most of his victims thus far have been male, there is also information that he has made similar attempts on female students. This issue has become severe enough to garner the attention of Yeshiva University Vice President Hillel Davis who, on April 10th, sent a letter to the entire student body to warn them of this predator. Please be alert to anyone fitting this general profile and advise students, children and friends to exercise caution while using Facebook or other online communication systems.If you have any q...

2008-04-09 14:37:00 Tibetans have a strong case against Beijing. But mixing it in with the Olympics and Darfur is a red rag to a wounded young bull. Nationalism is more often aroused by setbacks than success, so the Tibet problems and the possible threats to a triumphal Olympics are stirring it in China. On the horizon is the possibility that these will combine with high inflation, stagnating exports and trade tensions with the United States to create a perfect nationalistic storm. The Chinese leadership faces a difficult balancing act.

Beware These Toxic Stocks
2008-04-08 16:26:00 BusinessWeek has an interesting story about Toxic Stocks: Beware These 'Toxic' Stocks Bullish noises for the market abound. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke makes it clear that he's prepared to pull out all the stops to prevent economic collapse, and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson is talking up broad investor-friendly reforms for market regulators. And, while still behind the fiscal curve, Congress is finally recognizing that emergency measures are needed to help alleviate homeowners' pain and to help prevent a financial catastrophe. With the close of a dismal first quarter, there hangs a faint whiff of optimism in the air over Wall Street. But a warning to investors ready to plunge into the market: Beware of land mines. Even if you think you know perfectly well which stocks are safe, the current market remains a beehive of hazards. Watch out, first of all, for "toxic" stocks that may appear enticing now, but could poison your portfolio at this critical stage of the market. In inve...
