Interest rates are jumping on what is a volatile day for the bond market. More on that. Plus, the announcement that Fox is cancelling American Idol comes right before the first part of the season finale, airing tomorrow. We look at the show which has been on air 13 years and was once a ratings juggernaut, an early talent show setting the mold for others, but which has now lost its luster. And with the announcement that President Barack Obama’s presidential library will be located in Chicago, we look at the likely economic impact on the city, and what’s happened with the other 13 presidential libraries.
