Caroline Wozniaki has finally won a Major, taking the Australian Open women’s single title by beating Simona Halep, 7-6, 3-6, 6-4. Next up:  Roger Federer vs. Marin Cilic for the Men’s Singles Championship. Tip: Bet on Federer. He’s the best big match player in history.
Paris has flooded. The Seine has overflowed its bank due to large and unrelenting rainstorms. There is more rain on the way. This is the second time in two years, and French authorities are worried about the pattern and the theory that it might be linked to global warming.
The Daily Grope: Las Vegas casino mogul Steve Wynn, one of the very best in a very tough business, has been accused of sexual misconduct in an in-depth report initially published by the Wall St. Journal. The publication had over 100 different sources for the story. Wynn, who has donated millions to candidates of both parties, is currently the chairman for the Republican National Committee’s finance committee. He has denied the allegations. And the fallout from the U.S. A. Gymnastics scandal continues, as Michigan State is now being accused of “enabling” the behavior of Dr. Larry Nasser, the gymnastics team doctor who was sentenced to 40-to 175 years in prison for sexual misconduct. Nasser was an employee at Michigan State. It’s ugly and it’s getting uglier….
Boeing lost a huge case against Bombardier, a Canadian passenger jet manufacturer, when an over 200% tariff on Bombardier jets was ruled out. 
Today is National Chocolate Cake. Bet you know how to bake a chocolate cake. If not, today’s a very good day to learn.
The Detroit Auto Show has unveiled a host of new vehicles–most of them SUVs–in a show that has been heralded as one of the last celebrations of the automobile culture as we know it.
