America and the world will be watching Europe this fall as European leaders try to strengthen the Euro before the euro zone can be weakened any further. The European Central Bank President Mario Draghi will be unveiling new measures this week that will widen the scope of the ECB’s power over all European banks. These measures promise to further centralize the funds within the EU to the ECB, allowing countries such as Greece and Spain to obtain bailouts more easily.

Let’s face it, school isn’t exactly easy. With homework to do, tests to study for and projects to complete, it’s nice to have the chance to challenge your mind without the results ending up on your transcript. How about by trying to connect colored dots together with pipes to fill up a board?

NFL Preview Part III – Award Winners and Super Bowl Pick
In the past few days we’ve posted our NFC and AFC previews. Now it’s time to pick the individual award winners and the Super Bowl. The thing I like about the NFL’s awards is that they are given to the best in each category from the entire NFL, not just the AFC or the NFC. Remember, the NFL MVP has not won the Super Bowl in the same year since Kurt Warner won both for the Rams all the way back in 1999. So individual success is certainly not a guarantee of team success.

Think back – you’re walking through a store and all of a sudden- a song comes on that you really like but you can’t hear it well enough to get the name of it. ‘Is that the chorus? The title has to be in it somewhere… Maybe if I write some of the lyrics down I can search it later…’
We’ve all been there, but Shazam fixes that daily struggle.
