Happy 4th and a couple or articles

Bangkok Post - EU accuses 13 banks of derivatives collusion. Here is a line from the article that I like, "These could include moving LIBOR, a global interest rate indicator, from London to Paris where it would be supervised by the European Securities and Markets Authority." In the end control over the markets will be internationally regulated, believe it.

Fox Business - Euro Takes a Hit as Reserve Currency.

After posting the last link, I decided to go the Fox Business' main page and found this. Major Road Blocks Linger, But Driverless Cars Are Here to Stay. I love this line, "At the end of the day, it’s inevitable. This is going to happen," said Karl Brauer, senior analyst of Kelley Blue Book. "We’re going to get to the point where we are going to have the ability, if not the requirement, to have the car doing all the thinking for us." I also like this line, "One solution would be if the government were to require that everyone buy an autonomous car (probably not feasible), or if it gave a deadline for people to purchase basic technologies such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication systems that allow cars to speak to one another on the road."

And finally this. Rianovosti - Sexy Russian Spy to Snowden: Will You Marry Me?
and her picture.

I wrote about her story when she was arrested for spying in the United States and was sent back to Russia. I dated a Ukrainian for a bit, I love their accents. For some reason that I have not quite figured out, Russian women love me. This particular Russian woman is bad news. Her father was KGB and she was a spy.
