      Majors pull back from USD in anticipation of central bank announcements this week.
      CURRENCY TRADING SUMMARY U.S. Dollar Trading (USD) strengthened against the major currencies overnight, joining the equity markets in shaking off last week’s soft U.S jobs data as news that America’s largest savings and loan bank, Washington Mutual, will be receiving a $5 billion capital injection from equity group TPG. Whilst acting like a shot of confidence in the market, U.S consumer credit rose by US$5.16 billion for the month of February. However, this was below the expected amount of US$5.5 billion so there may be indications the Federal Reserve’s drastic easing of monetary policy is beginning to flow through the economy. The NASDAQ lost 6 points (-0.3%) whilst the Dow Jones had a volatile day after being up 124 points at one stage, before closing 3 points up. Oil prices surged

      General Deepak Kapoor, the Chief of the Army Staff, has kicked up an all too familiar storm after his interview with Karan Thapar. Major Jaswant Singh, former Defence and Finance Minister, has criticized the COAS for his remarks, particularly on incursions by the Chinese into Arunachal Pradesh, and virtually asked the government to gag the Army Chief.Major Jaswant Singh, who left the Army many decades ago but still wears a safari suit with military type pockets and shoulder flaps, is senior to the Chief in service. That, he thinks, gives him the right to tick off the COAS in public, as if the guy does not know what he is saying.

Trading was subdued due to a Labor Day public holiday in the United States.High-yielding currencies got a boost as risk aversion eased after the Federal Reserve and U.S. government gave assurances that they would shelter the economy from the sub prime mortgage crisis.

      Paint Majors To Bring Further Boost In Indian Realty
      New entrants in Indian real estate are the renowned paint companies which are extremely bullish on India.

Indeed, the sector will see the investments from the world’s largest supplier of paints and coatings, Akzo Nobel which may acquire ICI Paints globally for $16 billion. The Dutch giant is has moved a step closer to tap Indian realty. Akzo Nobel runs a powder coating business in India through its acquisitions of Courtaulds in July 1998.

      Colleges charging more for some majors
      Should an undergraduate studying business pay more than one studying psychology? Should a journalism degree cost more than one in literature? More and more public universities, confronting rising costs and lagging state support, have decided the answers may be yes and yes.Starting this fall, juniors and seniors pursuing a major in the business school at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, will pay $500 more each semester than classmates with other majors. The University of Nebraska last year began charging engineering students $40 for each hour of class credit.And Arizona State University this fall will institute a $250-per-semester charge above the basic $2,411 tuition for in-state upperclassmen in the journalism school.Such moves are being driven by the salaries commanded by professors, the expense of specialized equipment and the difficulties of persuading state legislatures to approve general tuition increases, university officials say.The University of Washington does not charge

      Johnny Majors returns to Tennessee
      I’m sure many of you have read the articles over the last week or so announcing that Johnny Majors is moving back to Tennessee. No, he’s not coming to replace Fulmer. Just to live. It’s not quite the same this time around. The last time Coach Majors was returning home to Knoxville, it was to a hero’s welcome. It was 1977. He had just won the National Championship at Pittsburgh and was returning to his alma mater, his home, to resurrect the program. I don’t want to get into the whole Fulmer vs. Majors debate but I think it’s a shame that he appears to be more respected in Pittsburgh than he is in Tennessee. It doesn’t seem right somehow to read of a Johnny Majors Room there with pictures of the 82 win over Alabama and other memorable moments in his Tennessee career. (read link above) It’s hard for me to remember clearly exactly how I felt when Coach Majors was run out of town at the end of the 92 season. I seem to remember feeling about our football program

      AMERICA: Oil majors are increasingly investing in monitoring stations onshore to track and direct activity at distant offshore wells
      At tens of millions of dollars a pop, wells drilled in the ocean's unforgiving deep waters are an investment oil companies consider worth watching around the clock. And watch they do. Increasingly risky exploration in recent years has prompted companies to create "real-time operation centers" that are to remote operations what Mission Control is to space exploration. Finding oil and gas in such harsh environments "really is like exploring in outer space," said Dean Malouta, technology manager at Royal Dutch Shell's real-time operations center — or RTOC — in Houston. In years past, problematic wells or equipment failures on platforms and rigs sometimes forced operations to shut down or slow down to await a troubleshooting team's arrival. Such idle time is costly. On average, it costs $1 million a day to operate a deep-water well, including expenses for the drilling rig, materials, services and logistics. If work is shut down, companies still pay.
