2012-02-02 08:08:00 Source: ForexYard USD/JPY Hits 3-Month Low amid Poor US News The USD/JPY hit a fresh 3-month low today, as worse than expected news out of the US continued to weigh down on the pair. Rumors have begun circulating that the Bank of Japan (BOJ) may soon intervene in the currency market to limit yen growth. Today, traders will want to once again monitor US economic indicators. Specifically, the weekly US Unemployment Claims figure and a testimony from the Fed Chairman are likely to create market volatility.

Suspected drunk driver hits 100 mph going wrong way on I-5

Vizio hits PC market
2012-01-08 15:25:00 Vizio is targeting the two of the fastest-growing categories for PC makers: ultra-thin laptops and so-called all- in-ones — desktop machines with built-in monitors. Still, those areas is getting more crowded. Hewlett-Packard will introduce a new all-in-one PC for $1,200 at theConsumer Electronics Show, and other computer makers are unveiling slimmer laptops, a category known as ultrabooks. Hewlett-Packard is betting that the ultrabook category will resemble other parts of the PC market, with consumers and businesses asking for different designs that meet their needs, said Page Murray, a marketing vice president. “I don’t believe there’s a one-size-fits-all laptop out there, like some of our competitors might,” Murray said. Driving down prices isn’t a viable long-term strategy, he said. “There’s always going to be somebody who wants to win a race to the bottom,” Murray said. “But you get what you pay for in many of those situations.” V...
Quick Hits: Rhodes, Kuroda, Ludwick, Padres
2012-01-07 07:15:00 Let's jump into the weekend with one last batch of news items.... Arthur Rhodes is close to deciding where he will play in 2012, reports Anthony Andro of Fox Sports Southwest (Twitter link). Rhodes also confirms that he will play next year, making it 21 Major League seasons for the 42-year-old southpaw. The Cardinals and Mariners have both shown interest in Rhodes this offseason. Some teams aren't convinced that Hiroki Kuroda will pitch in the majors next season and will instead return to Japan, tweets Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. Kuroda's asking price is reportedly $13-$14MM on a one-year deal, which is a slight increase from last month. Also from Heyman (via Twitter), Ryan Ludwick has received offers from at least four teams. The Reds, A's and Giants have been linked to Ludwick this winter, though it's unknown if any of those clubs actually offered the outfielder a contract. Bill Center of the San Diego Union-Tribune covers such Padres topics as a possible Carlos...

2012-01-06 06:37:00 Some links as Thursday turns into Friday... As part of his comeback attempt, Manny Ramirez will work out for teams later this month according to ESPN's Buster Olney (on Twitter). Manny was officially reinstated last month, and he indicated that the "doors are open" for a minor league contract. Braves GM Frank Wren told MLB.com's Mark Bowman that he feels both Jair Jurrjens and Martin Prado will be with the team at the start of Spring Training. They still have interest in Adam Jones and could continue to pursue the outfielder if the Orioles lower their demands. The Yankees never inquired on lefty reliever Darren Oliver before he signed with the Blue Jays, reports MLBTR's Ben Nicholson-Smith (on Twitter). New York has brought in southpaws Hideki Okajima and Mike O'Connor on minor league deals this offseason. Miguel Tejada is training in Miami as he looks to make a comeback, reports Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (on Twitter). The 37-year-old was designated for assignmen...

TPM Fires, Hits Own Toe
2011-12-30 22:22:00 From an hysterical and deluded Talking Points Memo: Michele Bachmann Is In Love With The AR-15 Assault Rifle Quite wrong moose breaths. An assault rifle is capable of fully automatic fire, from Wikipedia: An assault rifle is a selective fire (selectable between semi-auto and fully automatic) rifle (capable of being fired from the shoulder) that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine.[1][2][3][4] Assault rifles are the standard infantry weapons in most modern armies. The AR-15 is semi-automatic weapon, or other words a rather fancy and very ugly varmint gun, again from Wikipedia: The AR-15 is a lightweight, 5.56 mm, air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine-fed semi-automatic rifle, with a rotating-lock bolt, actuated by direct impingement gas operation. It is manufactured with the extensive use of aluminum alloys and synthetic materials. Got it? An assault rifle is capable of fully automatic fire, that pull the trigger and more than one bullet will be fire. Whereas the AR...

Fall nor?easter hits Massachusetts and it?s coming down hard two hours in.
2011-10-29 23:46:00 UPDATE - 10:45am 10/30/2011: Wake up at 3am this morning without power and no heat (we have electric heat only). Spend the good part of the morning very cold and trying to sleep. However thankfully about 10 minutes ago, we got our power restored (National Grid).I?m surprised to say the least considering I heard a large tree fall next to the house, but not where powerlines are. We have about 6 inches on the ground of wet snow and several leaning trees with snow on them. But the sun is out and the snow is slowly melting especially on trees. We got lucky and now time for lunch and a hot shower.Original Article:For the last few days now up here in Massachusetts, meteorologists have been advising viewers that this latest Nor?easter could give the state several inches of snow (6-10 inches) and maybe some power outages.And I can tell you that when I went out early this morning to a local Walmart 15 minutes away, it looked like a madhouse with a lot of people trying to pickup supplies for t...

Foursquare Hits 10 Million Users With Geo-Location Networking
2011-07-20 10:00:00 The most sought after social networking platform Foursquare has appeared in the numero uno position. Just the way Foursquare helps people and places connect through interfaces like mobiles, there are many other players in the same arena. Facebook Places, Loopt and Gowalla are trying to beat but Foursquare appears to be victorious with a whopping 10 million users giving a whole new dimension to the geo-location based networking ear. This milestone has been elucidated by Foursquare in a beautiful infographic. The Foursquare growth traction is 10 million in two years as compared to Twitter that took two years to reach a user base of 1 million. The interesting part is the dynamism of Foursquare in engaging its customers with enthroned mayor-ships and check-ins. Apart from individuals, Foursquare has added a lot of value to the local business-patron relationship. There are some very popular Foursquare chains such as : What was the main metric for Foursquare?

Hits keep coming for Hendry
2011-06-07 01:23:00 The hits are coming from all angles for Cubs GM Jim Hendry. Two writers that have been on Hendry's side have written critical pieces, and one has even changes stances on Hendry's future. Ken Rosenthal had written recently that the Cubs should retain Hendry, and now he writes it's an unlikely scenario. The worst thing about the Cubs? You can't even blow them up. Left fielder Alfonso Soriano, immovable. Third baseman Aramis Ramirez, immovable. Right-hander Carlos Zambrano, movable only if he is in the right mood to approve a deal. Big Z was right about one thing in his latest bizarre rant Sunday -- the Cubs are playing like a "Triple-A team." The reasons: injuries, ineptitude and big-money players who drift...
Washington Post Hits On Youth Soccer Trend To Play Club (Academy) Over High
2011-06-06 14:00:00 A recent article in the Washington Post (U.S. youth soccer: Is it best to play in high school, or on an academy team?) does a nice job of demonstrating the current dilemma in youth soccer as elite level clubs (soccer academies) put pressure on their high-school-age players to commit exclusively to their programs by requiring them to "forgo" playing for their high schools. Their goal, as reported by the Post, is to...
Liriano no-hits the White Sox, who embarrass themselves in previously unthi
2011-05-04 07:20:00 Well, it's hard to overstate how embarrassing this is. The White Sox welcomed what was the worst team in baseball (and riding a six-game skid) to U.S. Cellular Tuesday night, and faced Francisco Liriano, a man with a 9.13 ERA coming in who was one start away from possibly being kicked out of the rotation...and not even a good rotation. And he threw a damn no-hitter.
Starlin could double Pena's hits total.
2011-04-28 18:36:00 Maybe this isn't a totally remarkable statement, but I think it's worth noting: all other factors aside, Starlin Castro could easily tally twice the number of hits that Carlos Pena does over the course of a season.This continues to be the only image of Castro we have on file, and I'm not the type of guy to change horses midstream or whatever.Is that to say Castro is really awesome and Pena is really terrible? Maybe kinda sorta, but not completely. More importantly, they're different hitters stylistically: while Castro almost always ends his at-bat by putting the ball in play, Pena does so only half the time.And when I say completely different hitters I mean it: among hitters with at least...
Derrick Rose Greatest Hits of 2010-11 Archive
2011-04-16 18:04:00 What a magical season it has been for the Chicago Bulls, who secured the best overall record in the entire league. And what a 2010-11 it's been for Derrick Rose, who has become the man-crush of the third largest city in the United States. He is to "us" what pre-2008 Brett Favre was to the entire state of Wisconsin. To quote "Zoolander"...."Hansel- he's just so hot right now," perfectly describes Rose's current Q rating. Rose made headlines this NBA preseason for saying "why can't I be the MVP? Why can't I become the best player in the league?" I was there at Media Day when he said it, and I didn't understand why everyone made such a big deal...

2011-02-25 00:36:00 Lassie, Rin Tin Tin, and Scooby Doo are dogs immortalized in reruns for the public's adoration. What about the other dogs? Balto? Squeak? Trakr? Where's their tribute for life service? Just like ordinary two-legged heroes, unless they have a television deal, mutts are in the doghouse of obscurity. Until now! Neofuturists presents their NYC counterparts touring production of LAIKA DOG IN SPACE. A trio of NYC Neofuturists have landed in Chicago to perform the spacey spoof. It's a day-in-the-life of astronauts as the threesome's activities are announced by a voice with Star Trek soundtrack. It's a string of comedic segments with jamming band accompaniment. Interactive sketches promote audience involvement. They cook. They sing. They game. It's like the Sci-Fi channel programming cooking and game shows. LAIKA DOG IN SPACE is fueled with high energy antics but hits pockets of turbulence.

Carmelo Anthony hits buzzer beater, Chicago Bulls let one slip away
2010-11-27 07:00:00 Carmelo Anthony hits a buzzer beater to beat Rose-less Chicago Bulls
Watson's good, but Carmelo hits a walk off to win it for the Nuggets
2010-11-27 06:00:00 I said in the pre-game thread that this was the type of game C.J. Could step up and play well in. When he is called on to score, will get big minutes, and can dominate the ball, he's a different player. He came through and proved it tonight, but it wasn't enough. The Bulls lost this game on the decision to put John Lucas in the game on the final offensive possession. Then when Kyle Korver had the ball with 14 seconds left, he elected to pass to Lucas rather than accept the foul..The Bulls were fortunate to get bailed out when it looked like Lucas turned the ball over, but Lucas misses both free throws anyway. On the Nuggets...

So he took to the airwaves to push his plan, with some unlikely allies of big business.Flanked by representatives of unions and civic groups, Ricketts tried to dispel any suggestion that his proposal would cost the public unless they come through the turnstiles any money at all.This is not a new tax, not an increased tax and a tax only paid by people who come to Cubs games and buy Cubs tickets," he said. "Taxpayers are being asked for nothing."Except for expected revenue to be taken from... |
