...take was 63% higher than that of Halloween 2. The teen slasher film cadged $17.4 million and will finish the frame in third place, behind the Nazi-scalping-and strangling Inglourious Basterds. Quentin Tarantino's World War II epic dropped a less-than-expected 47% from last weekend to pull in about $20 million. In 10 days, the polylingual action drama has amassed $73.8 million in the North American market and another $60 million abroad - which, in any language, means boffo. The South African sci-fi thriller District 9 was next with a $10.7 million weekend and a $90.8 million...
...clear, China's phenomenal economic performance is still in many places just a statistic. It's over 1 billion people still lag significantly behind their Western counterparts in the prosperity stakes. The Chinese workforce is diligent and frugal, which contributes to this economic development. The question is, For how long can 10% growth be sustainable? Andrew Bond, Chiang Mai, Thailand...
...since some believe it's a term for raw-meat eater. That sounded pretty bad until I realized it's exactly what yuppie meant in the 1980s. A proud Inupiat, Nasuk said that when her people were hunter-gatherers in the freezing North Slope, they sometimes had to leave behind the weak and elderly. "My understanding is that elders would voluntarily stay behind. It wouldn't have been a cruel practice. It would have been an acceptance of 'I'm dying. Let me be on my way,'" she said. Which is exactly how I'll put it on my death...
...same thinking lies behind Coda Automotive. The joint venture began after Lishen started producing electric batteries for Miles Electric Vehicles, a small-scale startup founded by former Ralph Lauren executive and philanthropist Miles Rubin. Coda Automotive, Rubin's next project, takes that relationship a step further. The Coda sedan (the body is made by another Chinese auto company, Hafei Motor) will run for about $45,000 when it goes on sale in California in 2010. Coda expects to sell about 2,700 cars in the first year, with an annual sales target of around 20,000. For Coda's Czinger...
Instead of sorting through stacks of forms, I'll set my death panel behind huge wooden desks in a big empty room like the audition scene in Flashdance. I know this will make it hard for the sickest people to attend, and that will make my first cut much easier. I will green-light medical intervention on four criteria: cost, likelihood of success, years of life saved and a person's awesomeness. For example, we'd all shell out to keep Justin Timberlake going for another 50 years, but we probably wouldn't kick in much to spot Michael Vick...
