September 2011

Happy Jewish New Year and Shana Tova to one and all. We spent the beginning of the New Year, North of the border in Toronto Canada, where the weather is 25 degrees cooler (than Miami).

September was busy as the world watched as the 10th Anniversary of September 11 took place. Special tributes and memorial were held in those places where lives were lost and the world was changed forever. A certain leader and known denier still claimed that the events that took place on September 11 2001 were an American conspiracy. Clearly, the world still needs to be cleaned of such evil.

Investment bank UBS were kept on their toes as suspected rogue trader Kweku Adoboli caused the bank to lose 2 Billion dollars. Social Media got updates of Adoboli’s activity as he updated his facebook status to "I need a miracle" before being arrested. How hopeful!

Stock markets continued to be battered and it seems that being a professional sportsman or woman is certainly one healthy way to make it rich in these tough economic times. Serbian Novak Djokovic pocketed $2.3 million USD prize money by winning the U.S open tennis.

Enjoy the remaining holidays and be nice to one another.
