...anything, it is Chettinad chicken. This rich curry is a staple of Indian menus from Bombay to Birmingham, England. But the desert region may have tasted a hint of a more enticing asset. Many of the once palatial homes of its former merchants, who made their riches during the heyday of the Raj, are up for grabs. By some estimates, as many as 10,000 of these crumbling structures are spread across the sands, awaiting rescue. Authorities hope that some will be turned into hotels or museums, boosting the local economy...
...management switch at Magellan is yet another attempt to re-instill the kind of bold stock-picking of Lynch's heyday. "We have a very different business model than Vanguard or American," says Fidelity spokeswoman Anne Crowley. "Half our revenues come from non-fund, fee-related businesses like the brokerage business, where we are a significant player." Indeed, Lange is expected to emulate Lynch's method of mixing up the portfolio with some smaller companies. Even with the fund having lost half its assets, it remains a behemoth, which leaves Lange confronting the same hurdle that tripped up Stansky...
...Curry, 41, and his fans, musings about mundane matters like the weather and driving through tollbooths are aural gems, all part of the intimate sound romps he creates for more than 100,000 listeners worldwide.

CNBC, a division of GE's NBC Universal, has tried everything to reinvent itself, including going Hollywood. That failed experiment led to the cancellation of prime-time shows with hosts Dennis Miller, John McEnroe...
...metropolis are scarce; Osaka prefecture's unemployment rate of 6.4% was the third highest in the nation last year. Even if he could find work, Ijiri says he feels unprepared to join the winner-takes-all rat race of postindustrial Japan. He longs for his father's era, the heyday of Japan Inc., when young adults were whisked directly from college into a womblike corporate career, where they would be sheltered by a paternalistic business culture for life. "People like me who aren't particularly talented at anything are happier with the old system of lifetime employment and seniority-based...
