...show didn't mean the end of Second City's empire. The next year, it opened its training center at Second City in Chicago, where its principles of improv technique were formalized and taught. (While all actors are chosen only after a rigorous audition, most of the troupe's younger stars are products of the training center; Steve Carell, Rachel Dratch, Chris Farley and Fey are all former students.) But not all attempts at expansion worked out. Second cities in Pasadena and Santa Monica, Calif., and Edmonton, Alberta, soon shuttered, while theaters in Las Vegas and Detroit meandered along...

Having chosen to live a public life, Tiger knows full well that his profession will televise his weekly tournaments, and that commercials, logos, and billboards will print his face all over the world. His public status therefore includes a loss of privacy; though none of this is a legal matter, practically Tiger must know...
...that added a layer of volatility and risk. Since 2004, however, it's been possible - through exchange-traded funds (ETFs) - to effectively own gold without the hassle of actually owning it. Gold is now something you can hold in a portfolio, like any financial asset. Lots of investors have chosen to do so. The SPDR Gold Shares ETF has assets of $40 billion, and similar ETFs around the world have another $10 billion. (See pictures of black gold...
