The main beneficiary of the news in the currency space was AUD which enjoyed a temporary uptick, but overall the trend has been a renewed demand for dollars and loss of appetite for risk currencies.

Necessity is the mother of invention.  And pain can be the father of innovation.  Whenever you or your customer has a problem, an inconvenience, a difficulty or a pain there is an opportunity for innovation.  A new product or service is called for to alleviate the pain.

Christmas is the time of year when the thoughts of most Americans grow to be at their most devout.  It is increasingly the time of year that the avowed despisers of the Almighty are at their most disrespectful. Before now, the most culturally embarrassing thing to come out of the wastelands of the Garden State was ...

Europeans in the US: Seeing things from their point of view
2012-01-03 19:19:00
By Bryan Pirolli— We always experience culture differences as foreigners in Paris, and I’ve written about it before. (See my previous post “Are Parisians Rude?”) But what about the other side of the coin? How do Parisians react when visiting the States? During a holiday luncheon with some Parisian friends while in New York, we Americans were allowed a rare glimpse into what the French find striking about our own culture, from tipping to the color of our money. Money, money, money My French friends first discussed the differences in money issues. Why are American bills all the same color? How much do you tip a cab driver? Why are telecommunications so expensive? They marveled at the things that we take for granted (after all, the euros do feel like Monopoly money to us sometimes). At the end of the meal, willing but frustrated with trying to calculate the absolutely un-Parisian gratuity, they just said, “Tell us what we owe,†and the bill was settled by the Am...

Rez Abbasi: Shredding from a jazz stand point
2011-11-30 20:53:00
One thing that irks me, especially from the standpoint of a jazz guitarist, is the term ?shredding.?Why??Shredding? surfaced in mainstream lingo as a way to describe the playing of hard rock or heavy metal guitarists who were viewed as otherworldly due to the amount of speed and facility they possessed. Listeners were wooed so much by the physicality these players demonstrated, that the content was easily and often overlooked. And there lies my point.I grew up in the era when shredding ran rampant, and at age 15, I was also thoroughly impressed by these wiz-adults. The following year, however, I discovered jazz through the likes of Joe Pass and George Benson. With this revelation I became more aware of the content side of the coin that ultimately justified the application of expansive technique. To say the least, it changed my perspective about technique overnight. Got to Guitar Player more

BROOKLYN TIPPING POINT
2011-11-09 14:27:00
Best-selling Canadian author, Malcolm Gladwell (The Tipping Point), explores the financial factors behind the acquisition of the new Brooklyn Nets--a deal that involves much more than basketball, apparently. The article, published in September for Grantland, points out how factors like the recession, eminent domain, ambitious real estate plans, and wealthy politics are really what were at stake.

What's Your Breaking Point? A Little Food For Thought
2011-05-18 18:04:00
By Gina B.   We all have boundaries in our relationships - actions that our mates can take that are irreparable and will result in an immediate breakup.   It's very important that your mate knows and respects those boundaries.   Every form of media has been abuzz about the Arnold Schwarzenegger "indiscretion" in the form of a 14-year-old "love child" that was apparently the breaking point that sent Maria Shriver, his wife of 25 years, packing.   According to news reports, it was revealed that this love child, a son, was a result of an affair with a member of the household staff.    As reported on radaronline.com, the information was revealed only after the mother, who has now been...

My Lowest Point As A Sox Fan
2011-05-04 06:37:00
Today, May 3, 2011,  marks the date of my lowest point as a Chicago White Sox fan. The Sox record fell to 11-20 tonight when they lost to the last place Minnesota Twins. It's not that it was a loss to the hated Twins, but how they loss. Surrendering a no hitter to a bad pitcher, and a bad team.  Zero hits, not one, from an offense that was suppose to destroy opposing pitchers this season. The hardest part to come to terms with is how highly regarded the Sox were coming in to the season. "All In" is this seasons slogan, obviously referring to the off-season spending spree the Sox partook in, and the Sox couldn't be more opposite...
Derrick Rose, the Best Point Guard Since Magic Johnson
2011-04-19 18:14:00
So there, I said it. Derrick Rose is the greatest point guard in the game since Magic Johnson, the Lakers' 5-time NBA champion and Hall of Famer. And with 25 points per game and only a few years under his belt it's fair to say that this statement is taking a risk and, OK...yes, I'm talking largely in future tense. I'm like a lot of Bulls fans who, at the season's tip-off, thought this team was at least a year away and that Derrick Rose was a probable All-Star yet not quite an MVP. So, I am pleasantly surprised if not totally ecstatic about where the Bulls are with Rose's impact. But it just goes to show what can happen...
Chicago Sky's 2000-point woman adds much-needed offensive power
2011-04-14 17:32:00
Courtney Vandersloot, the 2000-point woman whose inspiration and occasional coach is Utah Jazz and Gonzaga frontman John Stockton, was selected with the third overall pick in the 2011 WNBA draft by the Chicago Sky. In the second round, the Sky selected Carolyn Swords from Boston College with the 15th overall selection and Angie Bjorklund from the University of Tennessee with the 17th overall pick. Amy Jaeschke, the first player from Northwestern University was selected in the third round with the 27th overall pick.   What is most impressive about Vandersloot, a dynamic 5-8 point guard from Gonzaga, is that she is the first ever Division I player,  man or woman, to notch more than 2000 points and 1000 assists in a career. "She's...
Review Point of Contention "The Sixth Annual Chaos Festival": Cha
2011-04-04 01:29:00
Lovers, killers, single-cell organisms, survival is dependent on embracing the chaos. Point of Contention Theatre Company presents The Sixth Annual Chaos Festival. Ten writers wrote ten plays actualized by ten directors. The cluster of ten minute shows is a showcase sampling of new work. It's something for everyone on the all-you-can-eat-buffet. The morsel nibbling allows for tasting a variety of a la carte offerings without getting stuck with a dissatisfying main entree. For the curious palate, it's a series of one bite wonders. If it's sweet, there is the next daily special by the actors, writer, or director to crave. If the recipe is bland, a future spicier version could bring out the flavor.

Six Chicago Bulls Point Guards Likely To Be Forgotten Once This Whole "
2011-03-09 18:49:00
As reported last month by the Associated Press, Derrick Rose is really, really good at basketball. Fortunately for us hoops fans here in the Windy, Mr. Rose is currently employed by Your Future World Champion... Chicago Bulls! And when the lights dim at the United Center and the starting lines are announced, it's the hometown kid "From Chicago" who gets the Jordan treatment.Watching that announcement in person on Monday got me thinking about the slew of point guards who occupied the Red And Black in the post-title/pre-Rose era. In fact, from the time Scottie took his point-forward act to Houston to the day the Bulls hit on their 1.7% chance golden ticket, point guard for the Chicago Bulls was a...

Oh, gee, thanks. And then you get to the front of the line and the agent checks your ticket and says "Huh, that's weird.  I don't know why it wouldn't print your...
Chicago Tribune, Sun-Times & TV Media Keep Missing The Point
2011-02-27 23:18:00
Chicago Tribune, Sun-Times & TV Media Keep Missing The Point To say that the Chicago News Media is conflicted on whether to report the news or spin it has always been a concern with me. Both Chicago Newspapers, the Tribune and Sun-Times go to some length in exposing political corruption...the mainstream mass media, conservative or liberal leaning, has lost much of its credibility because they have deviated to far from their core mission of reporting the news accurately and fairly.
Being A Film Critic: What's The Point?
2011-02-20 17:57:00
For the last few months, I'd say even a year, I have been slowly losing interest in being a film critic, or a critic of anything for that matter. Considering that I feel this way, I'd like to know from folks out there what the point of this all is? Yes it's true only you can know why you do what you do and whether to do it or not, but considering the access to films these days and considering criticism is now labeled hate, what exactly are we (including I) doing critiquing films? (Note: this can extend to TV/Film and even music)...

At halfway point, Hawks in need of a shakeup
2011-01-03 14:19:00
Things were looking up for the Blackhawks two weeks ago.  Four consecutive, convincing wins over the Red Wings, Kings, Predators and Blue Jackets had fans feeling better.  Those feelings have been destroyed after the Hawks' suffered their third straight loss last night, this time to the Anaheim Ducks. If you've been living in a cave the last few months, you would have learned all you needed to know watching last night's game.  The Hawks, despite outshooting the Ducks 40-18, looked lost, nervous, tentative, and all the other analogies for "not that good".    The Blackhawks have missed the defensive play of forwards like Andrew Ladd and John Madden Early in the season, the company line was chemistry.  "We've got a...

Blackhawks Blow Out Canucks, Reach Mid-Point of Circus Trip
2010-11-21 07:04:00
Where's Bon Jovi when you want to scream "We're half way there"? And, more appropriately, where is the sanity from these Chicago Blackhawks? If, three games ago, you were told that the Hawks would outscore their opponents 14-8 in the first three games of the trip, most fans would be thrilled. And yet somehow Hawks fans have more questions than answers at the mid-way point in the annual Circus Trip....
