NEW YORK - Something dark is happening in China's banking system. It hasn't been able to penetrate our noisy news cycle here on the other side of the world. But Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JP Morgan, knows about it.

“They’ve kicked out all foreigners twice in their history,” Dimon said to a crowd at the Milken Global Initiative on Monday addressing concerns with China's financial system. “They might do it again. If you’re a shareholder of JPMorgan Chase, I just want to tell you, we’ll be fine. Читать дальше...

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel delivered an impassioned monologue on Monday night detailing his newborn son's recent open-heart surgery.

The heartstring-pulling speech, during which Kimmel teared up, detailed the harrowing experience for Kimmel and his family. It also presented a compelling, personal case for why it has been so difficult for Republicans to repeal the Affordable Care Act, the law better known as Obamacare.

Coming out of college, you have a lot of energy and ambition …

But zero clarity.

Where do you start with money?

How do you handle the debt you’ve built up?

What do you invest in and how?

There are lots of questions, and it’s overwhelming.

I know the feeling all too well. Coming out of college, I was $81,000 in debt (how I paid it off here).

But within a few years, I got through the overwhelm and achieved financial freedom in my mid-20’s... Читать дальше...

On Tuesday, Microsoft unveiled Windows 10 S, a streamlined version of the operating system designed to take on Google's low-cost Chromebooks in the classroom. It's going to ship on a bunch of laptops intended for the student. 

So what's the difference between the original-flavor Windows 10 and this new Windows 10 S? 

The basic answer is: Not much. The actual experience looks to be very much the same between the two, from the Start menu, to the Cortana virtual assistant... Читать дальше...

When it comes to paid family leave, the United States is behind the curve. The U.S. is the only industrialized country in the world without a paid parental leave policy for new parents in place at the national level.

And according to the U.S. Department of Labor, only 12% of private sector workers had access to paid family leave through their jobs in 2015. Since most parents in America are working parents, these are startling statistics.

The number... Читать дальше...

A good broker should be honest, realistic, and encouraging, but that doesn’t mean they should be a truth-bending ‘Yes Man.’

Within the NYC real estate industry, the latter seems to be the norm, which makes sense when you consider that turnover is one of the primary drivers of most brokers’ success.  

There are several straightforward, informative tips that a traditional broker probably won’t tell you, but a great one will, such as:

Airlines can expect more regulations if they don't make big changes to improve the treatment of passengers and overall flying experience, said Rep. Michael E. Capuano (D-Mass.) during a congressional hearing on Tuesday. 

“We are kind of sick of it as the consuming Americans, but we got to fly, you got us. And if you want to keep treating us this way, fine, I guess we can only do so much," Capuano said during the hearing.

"Geronimo ... Geronimo. E.K.I.A. Enemy Killed in Action."

The time in Abbottabad, Pakistan, was approximately 1 a.m. local time (3:51 p.m. EST) when Navy Adm. William McRaven, then the commander of SEAL Team 6, relayed word that Osama bin Laden had been killed.

At 4:06 p.m. on May 1, 2011 (12:36 a.m., May 2, in Pakistan), the White House's official photographer, Pete Souza, took the following iconic photograph of President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and the national-security... Читать дальше...

The man who claims he was the SEAL Team 6 operator who shot Osama bin Laden in 2011 has written a new book, and his retelling of that raid shows the reason photos of the terrorist leader's body were never released.

The book, "The Operator" by Robert O'Neill, recounts the former Navy chief's career spanning 400 missions, though his role with the elite SEAL team's raid on bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, has become his most consequential. The sixth anniversary of that raid is Tuesday. Читать дальше...

At first glance, Rami Malek's Met Gala outfit might sting.

The red tuxedo and red shirt, paired with two shiny black boots, almost makes the 5'9" Malek look like the devil come up to Earth.

But look at the outfit in context, and you'll see it's more than meets the eye. Malek has been a red-carpet style fixture for a couple of years now, and he has slowly developed his personal style over time.

He's settled on a regular look that entails a super-slim suit... Читать дальше...

Whitney Houston once sang, “I believe the children are our future.” We agree. But we’re worried that many kids won’t reach a healthy future because they aren’t active enough today and won’t be as they grow older. Based on results from a model we just published in the journal Health Affairs, too little physical activity among children now and later will translate into heart attacks, diabetes, cancer, and billions of dollars of avoidable health care costs.
