Look Out for Changes to Your Bank Accounts

But some of the new regulations will cost banks significant revenue, and stories are running rampant on proposals banks are considering to recoup [...]
How to Spend Your Money
Yesterday, as I was otherwise occupied (I spent five hours writing a post about programmable thermostats, a post nobody will even like!), the conversation on Donna Freedman’s article got a little cranky. Donna wrote about pinching pennies on some things so that she could splurge on others. In Donna’s case, that meant a trip to [...]

Within ten years, I was buried in debt. This isn’t an experience that’s unique to me. On The Simple [...]

Asa: Beautiful Imperfection - review
(Dramatico)
Paris-based Nigerian vocalist Bukola "Asa" Elemide is adept at weaving varicoloured musical tapestries: her second album mixes soul, reggae, lyrics in English and Yoruba ? and a cover photo by fashionable Frenchman Jean-Baptiste Mondino, which suggests things aren't quite as homespun as they sound. It's a warm, inviting blend, with Asa's husky, lightly swinging vocals its focal point. It's undeniably cosy listening; Fela Kuti and Bob Marley were childhood idols, but their conscious commentary isn't Asa's thing, and when she does address the state of the world, her indignation is couched in wistful platitudes ("Why is there so much religion, yet there is so little love?"). But if Asa is no maverick, she's very good at making mellow pop about life's smaller tribulations. The Way I Feel, a scaled-down, finger-snapping blues tune is a beauty, and when she gets her jazz groove on in Bimp� and Be My Man, you wish the songs would never end.

Will the Obama Administration Appeal This F@#&ing Case?
One downside of becoming president after eight years of White House control by the other party is that you get stuck having to defend an awful lot of "shit" left behind by your predecessor. Pardon our language, but in President Barack Obama's case, this applies rather literally to a move by the Bush administration years ago to crack down on profanity on broadcast TV. Now the Obama administration faces the decision of continuing the Bush team's indecency crusade—or saying, well, screw it. And social conservative groups are ramping up a campaign declaring that Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder don't care about F-bombing the nation's children.
Most Americans have long recovered from their inadvertent exposure to Nichole Richie's utterance of the word "shit" during the Billboard Music awards in 2003 and Cher's 2002 diss of her many critics on the same show, "So fuck 'em. I still have a job and they don't." The Federal Communications Commission is not so lucky.
In 2003, after Bono accepted an award at the Golden Globes, saying on live TV that "this is really, really fucking brilliant," the Parents Television Council, a religious-right watchdog group, demanded that the FCC clean up the broadcast airwaves. In what became known as the "Golden Globes" order, the FCC ruled that a single utterance of the "F" or "S" word could violate the law prohibiting the broadcasting of obscenity. The FCC went ahead and fined major broadcasters $8 million for various indecency infractions, ranging from indiscriminate F-bombs to Janet Jackson's nip slip during that infamous Superbowl half-time show.
