Wreck Dive in La Romana
Posting : Travel : 10/13/2008

There are so many underwater destinations that boast coral reefs, colorful fish and high visibility. You might have to spend some time on a plane and commit a few weeks of your life, but you'll get there. To find a truly unusual underwater experience, you'll have to look a little harder. Before steeling yourself for several long fights, though, check a little closer to home. The Dominican Republic is only a few hours away by plane, so you'll spend more time with a tank on your back and mask on your face.

That Thing Going On Over In Iceland Is Getting Worse
Article : October 2008
The details do not matter – it’s Iceland, okay? The only thing you need to worry about is whether your fly-fishing vacation on the Big Laxa River will be ruined this year. Er, and also that Iceland, under some kind of weird martial law it’s imposing on markets, is taking over most of its banks and probably biting off a lot more than it can chew. Which is why Russia’s involved. And why, as a cautionary measure, we’re printing this.

Fight Or Flight?
Article : July 2008
That's easy, say federal prosecutors. Any bank staffer being targeted by them for criminal activity in the markets clearly isn't so much missing as fleeing. Particularly, if said staffer happens to be the following Bulgarian-born, former Credit Suisse employee who, they suspect, may have chosen this key moment to pop back into his native land for what they augur could be permanent vacation. So, what chances do foreign prosecutors have of nabbing him?

Turks and Caicos Islands
Posting : Travel : 05/19/2008

A scattering of 40 islands some 600 miles southeast of Miami, the once-sleepy UK territory known as the Turks and Caicos Islands has arrived as a Caribbean destination. And that's due in no small part to the fine white sands and crystalline waters of Grace Bay Beach, not to mention the world-class coral reefs just offshore (or the islands' gracious tax climate and straightforward real estate investment policies).

Head Butler - Books - John O'Donohue (1954 -2008): Our Friend Among the Dead
Posting : Jesse Kornbluth : 02/01/2008

At 100 words a minute, I had, over weeks, absorbed enough of this deceptively simple exploration of “soul friendship” to grasp that here was an original thinker, a gifted poet and, most astonishing of all, a philosopher who had forged a way of looking at the world that was painfully aware of human frailty but insistent on the triumphal power of divine love.

Rise Of ‘Creative’ Capitalism?
Article : January 2008
Far be it from us to rain on the love parade that Bill Gates is no doubt whipping up in Davos today on ways the world’s rich might better harness lucrative methods of helping the world’s poor. Clearly, assisting those in need is always a good thing.

Would he have been as receptive then?

Recession Spoiler
Article : January 2008
True, there are those rumors that Countrywide is verging on bankruptcy (denied by the lender on Tuesday). And that the great engine of economic growth and prosperity, the rabid American consumer, has been hobbled by the subprime crisis. But do not underestimate this animal’s need to feed – on luxury goods, watches, shoes, sporting equipment, handbags, electronics devices, vacation packages and just about anything that can be made or imagined – no matter how thin his pockets. How, in the end, this is what might save us.
