...swimmer Michael Phelps - it doesn't follow that there's even a speck of demand for Olympic programming in non-Olympic years. Given the already cluttered and competitive sports-television landscape, who wants to watch Taekwondo or table tennis on a Saturday afternoon in October? Or November? Or April? "The chances of an USOC channel moving the dial is very unlikely," says Ganis. "The audience is a niche of the niche...
...various motivations and then focus on the commonalities, not the differences. He repeats these refrains everywhere he goes. "The United States and Russia have more in common than they have differences," Obama said last week, shortly after meeting with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev in the Kremlin.

Not surprisingly, officials at both those groups say they aren't going to pony up the total $14 million that would cost - especially since the machinery...
...willingness to placate - and pay off - rambunctious protesters in the past, they may think twice about bending to the threats of blowing New Fabris sky-high. That violent ultimatum is only the most recent in a series of escalating acts of intimidation by French workers facing layoffs. Last April, French fishermen furious over the effect European Union fish quotas were having on their bottom line blocked traffic in and out of North Atlantic ports for two days until they were promised state aid. Recently, France has witnessed a series of so-called bossnappings, in which CEOs of firms are held...
