...Bell went to video. Attempting a sermon for a standard 21-min. TV slot, he and three friends came up with just 10 strong minutes. These morphed into the Nooma--a 12-min., high-end short melding Bell's spoken narrative and a seemingly unrelated visual into a compelling homily. The format is unique in the world of Evangelicalism or, really, anywhere. If the father of a young child can watch Rain, a divine-love parable featuring Bell and his son during a storm, and not fight tears, he is Christopher Hitchens. The 18 Nooma DVDs have sold 1.2 million...
...everyone will lose out this Christmas. The very low and very high end of the retail market should be just fine. While middle-of-the-road stores like Kohl's, J.C.

The store, which Whang hopes to operate 24 hours a day, will serve deli sandwiches with a seating area, like Darwin’s; high-end grocery items, like Cardulo’s; and convenience items, like 7-11. Whang will also have a produce section, a salad bar, and a large prepared-food buffet section, similar to Whole Foods, he said...
...buildings will be dedicated to office space, which fetches higher rentals, while almost all of the tailoring shops will move to street-level and basement premises on the street's east side, where most of them are already located. The move will free up more retail space for high-end off-the-rack clothing stores in an attempt to make Savile Row more of an exclusive shopping destination. (Many of the tailor shops operate on an appointment basis and aren't set up to attract casual shoppers...
