First, let me say what you read here is going to be wrong in several ways. High frequency trading, or HFT, covers such a wide path of trading that different parties participate or are impacted in different ways. I wanted to put this out there as a starting point. Hopefully the comments will help further educate us all.

1. Electronic trading is part of HFT, but not all electronic trading is high frequency trading.

Dancing is one of the things I love the most. As a young girl I studied at a theatre school called Barbara Speake Stage School and was trained in all forms of dance - tap, contemporary, a bit of ballet...

When I first started my modelling career I didn't know anything about modelling poses and so just relied on what I knew from dance. I think this gave me a bit of an advantage starting out because I was seen to be moving in a unique way and this got me some positive attention. (I need to point out here that I did know how to do a runway walk, because my mother taught me that!)

I get it. I get that we all want to look like a glamorous celebrity by posting our Cobb salads on Instagram (and let's be honest, you probably didn't really enjoy that Cobb salad). I understand that. I am guilty of posting something on Instagram in hopes to look like my life is immensely interesting. (I am sitting on my bed with a glass of milk and Lily Allen music in the background, so that shows how interesting I really am.)

The Internet has given us a lot of great things. Wikipedia comes to mind. Maybe email and online shopping make your list. I don't know (or really care).

But the Internet has also created a lot of terrible things, and most of them are words. And some, like Gawker editor-in-chief Max Read, want to put an end to this Internet speak.

Read sent a message to Gawker employees on Thursday laying out new rules for the website's language and banning Internet words like "epic," "win" and "OMG."

It may have been short-lived, but my experience on DWTS was intense. Every single person I come across, friends and strangers alike, start with their own assumption: "It must have been SO MUCH FUN!!" Actually, fun is not the word for my particular adventure. It was intense.

With news that another shooting tragedy has hit Ft. Hood, my heart is breaking for the families of those who were wounded and killed by a gunman who is said to have purchased a gun, off-base, brought it on to the base, and unleashed carnage. While many details are still unknown, it is too early to talk about what may have triggered this incident and what, specifically, could have stopped it. However, there are three broad points to keep in mind as news unfolds.

Brendan Eich, the newly named CEO of the software firm Mozilla Corporation, resigned from the post after angering gay rights activists and some in the tech industry for his opposition to same-sex marriage.

Eich's views on gay marriage came to light in the days following his appointment last week to run Mozilla, best-known for its Firefox browser. News re-emerged of a $1,000 donation he made in 2008 supporting California's Proposition 8, an anti-gay marriage referendum.

If wealth and income weren't already so concentrated in the hands of a few, the shameful McCutcheon decision by the five Republican appointees to the Supreme Court wouldn't be as dangerous. But by taking Citizens United one step further and effectively eviscerating campaign finance laws, the Court has issued an invitation to oligarchy.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is not amused that Samsung is promoting a selfie with the president taken by Boston Red Sox player David Ortiz on a Samsung phone.

Spokesman Jay Carney says the White House objects any time the president's image is used for commercial purposes. Carney says in this case, quote, "We certainly object." Carney didn't say whether the White House has asked Samsung to stop using the image.

The basics of responding to any illness (after prevention, when possible), including mental illnesses and addictions, are:

-- Detect it (by screening for it and with clinical examination).

-- Diagnose it (by using standardized diagnostic criteria and appropriate tests).

-- Intervene to prevent progression (to further illness, even death) and to restore health.

I'm disappointed with the results of yesterday's ruling on McCutcheon v. FEC, as the Supreme Court strikes yet another blow against badly needed campaign finance law. But I am also exceptionally disappointed with the public reaction. Everything is within the context of the insider, beltway game of politics. Did the lobbyists win or lose? How will this affect mega-donors like Sheldon Adelson? Did the parties become more relevant than the super PACs? Did senior legislators get a leg up on fundraising?

The Tesla Model S comes equipped with a 17-inch touch screen in its center console, from which drivers can connect to the Internet and browse the Web -- even while the car is in motion. And what online info is so important that Tesla riders can't wait to get out of the car to look up? A digital advertising firm has the answer, and we have to admit we're a little surprised by what it is.
