On today's podcast: (1) Confronted with fresh warnings from financial markets, business leaders and top advisers, President Donald Trump this week eased off on two of his frequent punching bags: Jerome Powell and China.He turned down his aggressive rhetoric a day after meeting with executives from Walmart Inc., Home Depot Inc. and Target Corp., who said import taxes could disrupt supply chains and raise the prices of goods, according to people familiar with the matter (2) Citadel founder Ken Griffin said President Donald Trump’s trade war has derailed business leaders’ plans to spend the next four years focusing on growth.Griffin had previously criticized Trump’s tariffs even though he said he agrees with the president’s assessment of the issues that the US faces. (3) President Trump has mused that he could announce tariff rates for countries, including China, “over the next two to three weeks.” At the same time, Trump said the deadline would ultimately depend on whether China engaged. (4) The UK isn’t in a hurry to strike a deal with the US that lowers the tariffs President Donald Trump’s administration has slapped on British imports, Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves said, highlighting that Britian is prepared to stand by red lines on safety standards.

The French lender on Thursday reported a 42% surge in equities trading revenue to €1.19 billion ($1.35 billion) in the three months through March, beating even the most optimistic analyst estimate. It was also the highest in data compiled by Bloomberg and going back to 2007.

Going Deeper episodes will be less structured with a more conversational tone. These conversations will focus on interesting people I've come across that share similar values, perspectives and intentions expressed on the Minimalist Moms Podcast.Today, I'm thrilled to be joined by Mike Schroder, the founder of Future Fans—a brand focused on helping kids connect with and enjoy sports. Mike's journey started with a simple goal: he wanted to bond with his kids over sports but found that teaching them about football wasn't as easy as he'd hoped. So, he created Future Fans to make learning about sports fun and engaging for kids. In our conversation, Mike opens up about the ups and downs of that journey, the power of intentional parenting, and how sports can bring families closer together. Plus, he shares the unique way Future Fans makes sports education accessible and enjoyable for young learners.Previous Going Deeper Episodes:Building a Business: Navigating Friendship, Challenges & Growth in PodcastingChoosing Quality Over Quantity (In Most Things) Can Improve WellbeingIronman Battling Brain CancerUnschoolingMy Parent is a HoarderLeaving Corporate for a More Intentional CareerAbout Mike |Mike is dad to three young kids living in Columbus, Ohio with his wife Sara.

EPISODE 167 DETAILS We are constantly working to highlight unique and innovative programs that bring you the very best genetics within their prospective breeds. Today, we introduce you to Clear Springs Cattle Company and the philosophy behind the Bred For Balance Sale featuring quality Simmental and SimAngus Genetics. Many parts of the country are being hit by winter weather conditions. But that has not slowed down the feeder cattle market! Is there no limit to where these feeder cattle prices can go? Be bring you a market report from Faith Livestock Auction in Faith, South Dakota; Torrington Livestock in Torrington, Wyoming; and the Joplin Regional Stockyards in Joplin, Missouri. CLEAR SPRINGS CATTLE COMPANY & THE BRED FOR BALANCE SALE The Wulf Family In 1949, Leonard Wulf moved to Minnesota when he married the love of his life, Vi. There they raised their family and lots of sheep and cattle. Jim was one of 11 children and learned to love cattle from his Dad, which he passed down to his sons. In 2011, Jim, Twyla, Travis and Brady moved south of Starbuck to start their ranch, Clear Springs Cattle Company. This is when the family transitioned from Limousin to Simmental. They then teamed up with Hook Farms to start marketing genetics under the Bred For Balance brand. The Ranch Located on the Glacial Ridge, surrounded by rolling prairie and oak savannas, Clear Springs has a unique landscape for Minnesota. The namesake is the many natural springs they have captured to water the cattle, providing them with some of the cleanest water in the world. Every acre is managed with soil health in mind, from intensive rotation on the pastureland to no till and cover crops practiced on the farmland. The vacation rental house on the ranch allows us to share our beautiful views and rural lifestyle with others. The Herd Grown mainly from the Hook Farms herd, the current CLRS cowherd is "bred for balance". Balance between genotype and physical traits, balance throughout their EPD profiles, and balance within the offering having both maternal and terminal oriented bulls. The latest tools and technology are used to further advance the genetics of the herd as well as good ol' cowboy logic. They strive to graze as long as possible each year and develop seedstock with longevity in mind. The Wulf family, along with their affiliates Highland Acres, Anderson Cattle and Trails End market yearling bulls and select females through the Bred for Balance sale held each February. BEEF ANTITRUST LITIGATION GETS MORE ENTRIES According to Meating Place, The Big Four beef packing companies face yet another four lawsuits accusing them of conspiring to “fix, raise, stabilize and/or maintain the price of beef” sold to retailers since 2015, according to the documents in filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York last week. The New York cases mirror allegations leveled in lawsuits filed over the last few months in North Carolina and Illinois, and a case filed in 2022 by several quick-service restaurant chains. The Illinois case and those that were filed earlier have been transferred to the Minnesota District Court to be consolidated with other, similar antitrust cases in Multidistrict Litigation. All of those lawsuits resemble previous litigation against beef packers that garnered settlements in the tens of millions of dollars, at the same time that the Department of Justice and Congress scrutinized their practices. In the most recent New York-based cases, BJ's Wholesale Club Inc., Gordon Food Service Inc. and Glazer Foods Co., Quality Supply Chain Co-Op Inc. (QSCC) and Target Corp., all accused Cargill Inc., JBS S.A., National Beef Packing Co. and Tyson Foods Inc. of coordinating or manipulating beef prices to levels they would not have reached without the alleged actions, according to court documents. The separate filings also accuse several operating affiliates of the four processors of participating in the alleged violations of the Sherman Act through “anticompetitive means” concerning the price of boxed and case-ready meat. The four defendants sold approximately 80% of the more than 25 million pounds of fresh and frozen beef sold in the U.S. market in 2018 alone, each of the similar suits claim. The latest lawsuits also all cite efforts by the U.S. Department of Justice and USDA in 2020 to investigate allegations of beef pricing practices among the current defendants going back to at least the beginning of 2015.

Okay, fair warning, this is a big one. Because Rainbow Capitalism is bad and also complex, and we need to talk about why that is. And yeah, we're gonna talk about Target, and Dylan Mulvaney and Bud Light, and the Los Angeles Dodgers. If corporations want our sweet queer dollars, they need to start supporting us in tangible ways that matter. Writer and activist Felix Mack returns to discuss how doubts are normal and how to take up space as a man in a cautious way. Also you might not have known this, but trans people melt in the rain!

What do you think about Target Corp. pulling pride merch? In this episode of Raising Equity, I share three lessons […]
Tune in for our 2023 legislative recap—key bills that passed, bad bills that failed to pass, and a good bill that did pass! Plus, Grace shares two cultural wins that we can celebrate. After receiving pushback from customers and losing $9B in market value since launching their June Pride Collection, Target Corp. has stopped selling some items and moved their collection to the back of the store at some locations. In addition, Nebraska passes the “Let Them Grow” Act which protects children from mutilation and preborn babies from abortion - giving hope to those of us in other midwestern states.

In a relatively light week for economic data and company updates, markets broadly managed to hold onto the momentous gains of the previous week. Coming so soon after last week's relatively benign US inflation data, the week got off to a good start with a deceleration in US producer price inflation, which should ultimately feed through into lower inflation in the prices of goods for consumers. What investors really want to know, however, is whether the more positive outlook for inflation will influence governors at the US Federal Reserve into slowing the pace of increases in interest rates. Despite an unusually large number of governors speaking at conferences and in interviews during the week, investors were left with the feeling that opinions are still divided between those who prioritise defeating inflation at any cost, and those who are becoming more cognisant of an economic slowdown...Stocks featured:Alibaba Group, Cisco Systems, Hasbro, Mattel, Siemens and Target Corp.To find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management's own commentary on markets.

Click here to view the full show notes and transcript for this episode.In today's world, it's not just a matter of keeping up with technology anymore—it's a matter of being relevant and connected with people in ways that matter to them. All organizations—religious or secular—should consider how technology can help them connect with their communities. Some companies have done a great job of integrating technology into their business. Target is one of the best examples that uses technology to improve how people interact with its brand, increase the frequency of interactions, and better tailor its message to customers' needs. If Target can do it without sacrificing what makes them unique or compromising its mission—so can the church.Churches that use technology effectively are positioned to be more relevant and impactful in their communities, and this requires more than just posting content online or having a Facebook page. It must go beyond surface-level engagement to build relationships and impact people's lives. Our guest, Nathan Artt, principal and founder of Ministry Solutions and Executive Leadership Solutions, joins us to elaborate on how we may take advantage of technological innovations to serve the community better. He will also highlight some ideas presented in his ebook "Target Corp and the Flexible Church," which can help us rethink how we apply technology in the church."Our mission has not changed, but the way that we're reaching people and our methods have changed. I feel like the church of the future is the one who is going to be more in love with their mission than they are with their methods."-Nathan ArttWhether you're looking for ways to improve your ministry or are simply interested in learning more about how technology is changing how we do things at church, this episode is for you!By the end of this episode, you will learn:The role of the digital platform in driving in-person engagementThe difference between convenience and relevance when it comes to using technologyHow to get people back into the church buildingWays churches can be relevant in a digital ageSome helpful concepts from his ebook Target Corp & The Flexible Church Resources Mentioned: Follow Ministry Solution on Instagram: min_solutions Follow Ministry Solution on LinkedIn: Ministry SolutionsVisit Ministry Solution's website: Ministry Solutions Check out Nathan's ebook: Target Corp & The Flexible ChurchOther Episodes You May be Interested In:How to Impact the Community with Ministry Resources with John CraftThe Secret to Church Revitalization with Cody EvansHow Churches Can Become More Effective Online with Trey Van Camp=======Tithely provides the tools you need to engage with your church online, stay connected, increase generosity, and simplify the lives of your staff.With tools like text and email messaging, custom church apps and websites, church management software, digital giving, and so much more… it's no wonder over 37,000 churches in 50 countries trust Tithely to help run their church.Learn more at https://tithely.com

Hennepin County and the Met Council are in agreement that the Blue Line Extension light rail will go right up the gut of County Rd 81, but who else is in agreement? This story goes back decades to the Bottineau Boulevard Partnership, where all the cities on the line, Hennepin County, Target Corp, Olympus, North Memorial Hospital, and others all had a special club to get this project approved and built. One huge catch... the residents don't want it. It doesn't matter how much the people protest it, government knows better. They will push this through by hook or by crook (probably by crook). This has been a debacle since the beginning. The county spent millions of dollars to do impact studies, plan the project, and begin selling it to the public. They never talked to the BNSF railroad who was not willing to sell their line (ruh-roh). Maybe that should have come first. Needless to say, even that isn't enough to stop these knuckleheads. Oh no, because it is racist to not have light rail to connect affordable housing to work, never mind that most people don't live of work near a light rail line. It's time to give you an update on this dumpster fire of a project. We also talk some of the recent primaries that have captured our attention and Governor Walz's veto record. Have you checked out our Spotify playlist? At the beginning of each episode, Jason quotes some song lyrics that have to do with the subject matter of the podcast.

Avery Akkineni wants you to know: It's not too late, and you didn't miss the boat. As president of VaynerNFT, Avery is a leader in the emerging NFT space. In this conversation with Women on the Move host Sam Saperstein, she breaks down the NFT market, Web 3, and the ongoing opportunity for consumers and brands to participate in this fast-moving space. A marketing pioneer with a mission to bring other women along Avery began her career right out of college at Target Corp., but within a year or so she moved to Google, still a relatively new company in 2012. At Google she worked on products including AdWords, YouTube, Hardware Products, and Double Click, and she also learned about Vayner Media when Gary Vaynerchuk gave a motivational talk to her team. “I was incredibly impressed with how different Gary's perspective was, and about his passion around social media,” she recalled. “At the time, I didn't know too much about social media. So, I thought I'm going to learn all about social from the guys who know it best at Vayner.” She joined Vayner in 2018 as a Vice President on the media team—her first experience of the agency side of marketing. “So, it was a totally new experience of learning a different side of the marketing coin,” she tells Sam. “And I learned a lot really quickly. Had the opportunity to help build out some teams. I then had the opportunity to actually go and start Vayner Media's presence in the Asia Pacific region.” By 2019, she moved to Singapore to start Vayner Media there. She soon opened offices in Tokyo, Bangkok, Sydney, and Hong Kong as well—all during the pandemic. “It was a very different type of working environment, where we were all pretty much remote and working across borders digitally,” she recalled. One benefit of working through the height of the pandemic was that she got to explore new ways of building teams, as well as new ways of thinking about technology. “We thought something very interesting might be happening in this world of NFTs,” she says. “At the time, I didn't even know what that meant, what it was.” By July of 2021, she was heading up the new VaynerNFT, which she describes as “a Web 3 consultancy focused on helping enterprises navigate all things Web 3 and NFT.” Immersed in this new world, on thing struck Avery: Her colleagues and Web 3 leaders were mostly male. “Right now the community who's super active is very heavily men,” she tells Sam. “And I'm super passionate about helping to bring women into this space.” Breaking down NFTs for the uninitiated As an early leader in the world of NFTs and related Web 3 activities, Avery is skilled at de-mystifying the concept for others. She breaks it down for listeners: “What NFTs, non-fungible tokens, represent is really digital asset ownership. It can be a piece of art. It can be a ticket. It can be a utility. But fundamentally, that represents a digital asset that you own that is provable on the blockchain.” And while there's currently a small community of people who are active in the NFT world, Avery says she believes there's a place for everyone. She encourages small business owners and individuals—especially women—to get involved. And she offers three pieces of advice for those interested. First, she says, get started by jumping in in a hands-on way. “Get yourself a Discord and Twitter, and understand what's happening,” she advises. “I think really spending the time to shape your own perspective is incredibly important.” Next, she advises all business owners to figure out how they can develop something that would be interesting to their existing consumers. “I would maybe look into loyalty as an NFT mechanism, and finding a way to reward people who already come to your dry cleaner, or to your daycare, or whatever it is,” she offers. Her third piece of advice is to consider expanding your business's payment options to include accepting crypto. “I think as a small business, you actually can move much quicker and navigate this world of Web 3 in a really cool way,” she adds. “And being able to operate without a ton of bureaucracies can be a huge advantage.” As for her goals for VaynerNFT, she's looking forward to continuing work that's game-changing, interesting, and long term: “I think our goals are really to help enterprises enter this Web 3 world in an authentic way that builds value for their communities and builds value for them.” Full Transcript here The podcast is not intended to provide legal, tax, or financial advice or to indicate the availability or suitability of any JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. product or service.

The Nasdaq +0.94%. Apple Inc rose +1.76% despite news that the company must change the connector on iPhones sold in Europe by 2024 after European Union (EU) countries and lawmakers agreed to a single charging port for mobile phones, tablets and cameras.

In merger and acquisition (M&A) news, Kohl's Corp rallied +8.24% after news the department store chain entered exclusive talks with retail store operator Franchise Group Inc (+4.78%) over a potential sale that would value it at nearly US$8B.

The week started promisingly enough, with the most hawkish comments yet from the US central bank failing to disrupt equity, bond or currency markets. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Federal Reserve chairman Powell said something that central bankers have not had to say for decades: that the Fed intends to raise rates until they slow economic growth, and that they are prepared to risk higher unemployment. He even raised the prospect of faster, more aggressive interest rate rises than the half-percent a month currently expected. That markets were unfazed by his comments was a rare moment of stability, but it was not to last...Stocks featured:Burberry Group, Cisco Systems, Richemont, Snap, Target Corp and WalmartTo find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management's own commentary on markets.

Stocks fell on concern that inflation could pose a challenge to the global economic rebound, forcing central banks to raise interest rates sooner than expected. Treasuries rose. Traders took some risk off the table as data signaled homebuilders are struggling to break ground on projects amid high materials prices and ongoing labor shortages. Target Corp. sank after warning that cost pressures are creeping up, stoking fears they will dent profits at retailers. In late trading, Cisco Systems Inc., the biggest maker of computer networking equipment, slumped on a lackluster revenue forecast, hurt by a shortage of components that's making it difficult to keep up with demand. #PhillipCapital #Servingyousince1975 #Fintech # PITCH

Aiming High and Low WHO: In 1997, fashion writer turned entrepreneur, Liz Lange, created the world's first fashion forward maternity brand. Until that point, the fashion world hadn't offered much to expectant mothers. In fact, retailers repeatedly told Lange that women were disinterested in their appearance during pregnancy. But Lange knew better. She went on to establish three wildly successful boutique stores and a cult celebrity following, including the likes of Cindy Crawford, Gwyneth Paltrow and Julia Roberts. DECISION: In 2002, Target Corp proposed a lucrative licensing deal with Lange to design inexpensive maternity clothes. Her advisors warned against partnering with the budget-friendly retailer on the grounds that she would lose her cachet and it would damage her high end platform. However Lange decided that women of all budgets deserve to be as empowered as the celebrities she dressed and went ahead with the partnership. Sales rose in all three boutiques and today, Liz Lange Maternity has the largest maternity apparel market share in the US.

He started out buying single family houses before buying smaller multifamilies and ultimately syndicating larger deals in Memphis, Little Rock, Atlanta, Huntsville, and other emerging markets.

“Our vision is to be a role model for inclusion in the industry,” says Rosemary Ugboajah, founder and CEO of Neka Creative, a Minneapolis-based brand development agency that makes inclusion a centerpiece of every project it takes on through a proprietary process dubbed Inclusivity Marketing. She entered the advertising industry without many preconceptions, having grown up primarily in Nigeria, without television. While in college in London to study engineering, she found herself drawn to design; an opportunity to learn the business side of advertising led her to the University of Minnesota. Ugboajah started her agency a decade ago, after years of working in other agencies and for Target Corp. She calls Neka Creative her “protest movement”—a response to stereotypes being perpetuated in marketing and a lack of diversity in the field. Her efforts toward inclusion included eliminating set office hours and diverse hiring practices. “We made a commitment and we’re still working on it. You’re always working on it.” The racial reckoning sparked by the death of George Floyd left Ugboajah feeling frustrated. “I was so angered by all the commitment emails I received—‘We’re committed to racial equity; we’re committed to diversity and inclusion.' I kept reading for concrete action steps, thinking: there’s no plan here. You have to tell us what you’re going to measure….People don’t want to stay in an uncomfortable place, but there’s no quick fix to becoming inclusive.” Ugboajah shares how her upbringing in Nigeria and London influenced her views on equity and inclusion, and steps businesses can take to move toward transformative change. After our conversation, we go Back to the Classroom with the University of St. Thomas Opus College of Business diversity, equity and inclusion ambassador Nakeisha Lewis. “It’s a great time for making change, holding people accountable,” Lewis says. “My suggestion: think about what are some actionable things we can hold our organizations to. Business organizations understand metrics: recruitment, retention, how are we ensuring voices are amplified.”
It’s a good time to be in the business of selling immunity. Minneapolis-based wellness company So Good So You makes plant-based juice shots packed with probiotics that support the immune and digestive system. Each variety is named for the “need’ it addresses: Energy, Sleep, Detox, and the No. 1 seller, Immunity. At the start of 2020, the 2-ounce So Good So You shots were sold at 3,000 stores; now they’re at more than 4,000 stores in 47 states including Target, Publix, and Sprouts. The company, which has the backing of investors, managed to meet and exceed its 2020 sales projections and hit profitability. “What the pandemic has done is accelerate this movement of people understanding that investing proactively and managing their own health pays dividends when it comes to their immunity,” says co-founder Rita Katona. In 2014, she left a corporate job at Target Corp. to start a health and wellness company with her husband Eric Hall, a serial entrepreneur. It started as a cold-pressed juice café called Juice So Good, which expanded to three Minneapolis locations. Juice shots were simply an item on the menu, but became so popular, Katona and Hall decided to packaging them for wholesale and quickly realized the shots were a far bigger opportunity. “In entrepreneurship, you can’t let any single failure stop you,” Hall says. “You have to keep iterating.” So Good So You recently introduced its biggest innovation to date: a sustainable bottle it calls the BtrBtl that features a proprietary additive which allows it to biodegrade in landfills at an accelerated rate. “Everything we do goes through the filter of is it the best we can do at this moment for the environment?” Hall says. “This a long-term investment that is authentic to who we are, but we did it because we think it’s the right thing to do.” It’s one of many things the couple loves about building their own company: “As a company, you can do more good in the world than you can as an individual.” Katona and Hall talk about their very different paths to entrepreneurship, the opportunities ahead in the wellness space, and the importance of being willing to pivot. Afterwards, we go Back to the Classroom with the University of St. Thomas Opus College of Business. Professor David Deeds, the Schulze Endowed Chair in Entrepreneurship, emphasizes the important of listening to consumers in the early days of a startup.

Last summer, avid sailor Vikas Narula was at Bde Maka Ska trying to invite people to sail with him. He’d been rejected a few times when he met Alvin Manago and his friend George Floyd. They agreed to join Narula, a total stranger, and spent the next hour talking about Floyd’s life in Houston and their respective families, and even took a few selfies. Narula lost touch with Manago and Floyd, and didn’t think about that day until a few days after Memorial Day when Floyd’s face was everywhere.

John Butcher held 15 jobs in 20 years with Target Corp. and it taught him to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. So when an executive recruiter called about a leadership role at Caribou Coffee, the Minneapolis-based premium coffee chain with nearly 700 locations worldwide, Butcher said yes to the interview, even though he knew very little about coffee or the restaurant business. “Any business that can strike an emotional chord is interesting to me,” he says. Butcher joined Caribou as president in 2017, at a time when the company was “not reaching its potential,” Butcher says. “Ultimately, we weren’t being very guest focused." Butcher talks about how he listened, learned, and made purposeful changes that have resulted in improved sales, employee retention, and the best customer service feedback Caribou has ever received. In 2019, Butcher was named CEO of Caribou, which is owned by Luxembourg-based JAB Holdings Co. but has its headquarters in a suburb of Minneapolis. He has since embarked on plans to redesign Caribou cafes, open smaller format stores, and move into canned beverages. He talks about coffee trends, shares leadership advice, and offers tips in shifting culture and adding purpose. Says Butcher, "It’s important to me to know the effort I’m putting forth every day is doing more than making money." After our conversation with Butcher, we go back to the classroom with Gino Giovannelli, a digital marketing professor at the University of St. Thomas Opus College of Business, who points out some of the leadership decisions that have allowed Butcher to thrive as a newcomer to Caribou. “The answers come from within. But you have to be willing to ask, and not immediately try to fix.”

In the age of the omnichannel, is there any hope for traditional retail chains? The signs aren't especially encouraging. Old-line retailers such as Sears, Roebuck & Co., Kmart Corp. and J.C. Penney Co., Inc. have struggled to stay profitable while battling competition from two directions: big-box giants such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Target Corp. on one side, and the e-commerce wave, led by Amazon.com, on the other. It's the latter trend, however, that has done more to transform retailing in recent years. Today, the traditional brick-and-mortar retailer is expected to maintain multiple fulfillment streams, including ship from store, pick up in store, ship direct from suppliers and deliver to homes and businesses. What's more, all of those channels must be seamlessly blended to provide for a consistently excellent customer experience. How can they do it? On this episode, we get answers from Diego Pantoja-Navajas, vice president of product development with Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud. He stresses the need for an integrated approach to fulfillment, both from a systems and business-process standpoint. Old-line retailers that can achieve that goal, he says, stand a chance of survival after all. It's all about ''retail reinvention.''

Target Corp has recently announced the closure of its stores in Canada, after less than 2 years in operation.

When hackers broke into the computers of top American discount chain Target Corp, it made international headlines. Cyber-criminals sucked up tens of millions of credit card numbers, email and home addresses, phone numbers and more, selling them on the blackmarket to reap untold millions of dollars in profits. Target was forced to spend hundreds of millions in computer security upgrades, and much worse for the company was the loss of its customers’ trust. But what if you didn’t have a choice about whether to shop at a particular store, or whether to give an organization access to your identifying data? What if you were forced to turn over personal information that’s even more sensitive, like how much money you make, who you’re related to, and the names and ages of your children? And how would you feel if the organization collecting your data already had an incredibly poor track record for keeping that information safe? Well that’s the situation most Americans are already in, and the organization that collects all our data is the United States Federal Government. On this week’s podcast, DecodeDC examines the massive uptick in cybersecurity breaches in the federal government. Just a few years ago, in 2006, the government suffered about 5,500 data breaches. Last year that number was more than ten times higher; the government documented more than 61,000 security incidents. There are lots of reasons why security is getting worse, not least of which is the fact that cybersecurity is a constant cat-and-mouse game, with professionals constantly trying to catch up with ever-evolving criminal schemes to breach government computers. But it’s also true that the federal government is particularly bad at protecting data. With frozen salaries and Congress’s constant budget battles, the government doesn’t always have the resources to attract cybersecurity professionals with the expertise and experience to protect the massive treasure trove of data it collects. Listen to our latest show, “Cybersecurity part 1: We’ve Got Your Number." and make sure you catch up with us again next week, when DecodeDC examines the vulnerability of America’s critical infrastructure to cybersecurity attacks.

From roof collapse to slip and falls to property damage, the recent snowstorms across the country have created a variety of problems. Attorney and co-host Bob Ambrogi welcomes Attorney David W. White, founding member of the law firm Breakstone, White & Gluck, PC and Attorney James T. Scamby, partner in the law firm of Tucker, Heifetz & Saltzman, LLP, to discuss the legal risks associated with snow and ice and who is responsible for slips, falls and injuries after a storm.

In Forex News TodayDespite calls from Iran and Venezuela - OPEC's steadfast bashers of the U.S. government - experts say there's little chance the cartel will shift from pricing oil in dollars to something like the Euro. At a summit of leaders from Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries members in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, over the weekend, Venezuelan head Hugo Chavez and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad indicated the historic link between crude oil and the dollar should be severed.The dollar fell to a record low against the euro and Swiss franc on concern credit-market losses will slow economic growth, prompting the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates again this year. Currencies in New Zealand, the U.K., Australia and Norway gained on speculation a group of six Arab nations will change their fixed exchange rates from the U.S. currency. The rising cost of using currency options to protect returns on carry trades is helping push traders to exit the strategy, which involves borrowing in countries such as Japan where interest rates are low. Volatility implied on options for major exchange rates reached a three-month high last week. Traders use implied volatility as part of setting options prices. The yen surged against all 16 major currencies yesterday as traders dumped carry-trade bets amid concern that losses in credit markets will increase and trigger a U.S. recession.
