Until a recently, the typical offshore investor did not have access to the payment convenience and flexibility associated with a credit card�at least not from the standpoint of accessing and spending the money he or she had safely placed offshore. Consider the predicament of yesterday's offshore investors seeking to access smaller amounts of money residing in their offshore bank accounts�say, under $10,000. If those individuals wanted to use offshore funds to make a purchase while living in North America or traveling abroad, they would have to personally withdraw funds from their offshore bank or have money wired to bank accounts where they lived.

Remember nuclear blackmail? Apparently, North Korea and Iran have refined the practice into outright panhandling. Let�s indulge, with a not entirely charitable examination, this new and nettlesome version of �Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?� Standing on the most conspicuous street corners the two beggarly brats can manage in our minds, they proffer their illicit cups in quest of alms, while they wiggle their nascent nuclear capabilities at our noses. North Korea plays What The Heck�s Bad Boy and launches seven missiles obviously calculated to fly in the face of the civilized world�s most anxious hand-wringing, and Iran continues to enrich uranium while European negotiators heap ever more incentives into its cynically proffered tin. How deserving are these increasingly irksome beggars?

I want to share some of my reasons for sponsoring New Tang Dynasty Television�s (NTDTV) Chinese New Year Spectacular. Of course, I am Chinese, and the Chinese New Year is part of my tradition and heritage. I love the colorful costumes, beautiful music and dance depicting ancient myths and legends. It reminds me of stories from my childhood. In addition, the cause, the people involved and the performances themselves have touched me profoundly, they have a healing effect in more than one sense.

Indiana Jones no resulto ser tan Buena como se esperaba. Su trama, efectos, historia y otros no salieron como la audiencia esperaba.

While the decision is unsettling, the prudence of it must be acknowledged, since, affection for the theater and those who make it aside, there was no drama to consider. Let us have the courage to ask why and, along the way, try our best to understand everybody�s culpability or innocence.

A growing number of people are showing that they're "hip to be square," thanks to a simple-seeming--yet, at times, deceptively difficult--number puzzle that's quickly becoming one of America's national pastimes.
