...happily reconnected in the final reel. You expect that to happen with these kids. But it doesn?t. Instead something that?s equally civilized, but a little less formulaic develops, something that is obviously appealing to the optimism and inexperience of a young audience occurs. This is a fairly low-keyed comedy, but a grown-up dropping in on it can appreciate its lack of frenzy, its fundamental good nature, as easily as its core audience will. It isn?t exactly a gem, but as zircons go, it?...

A study by Towers Perrin of 40 multinationals over three years found that companies with high engagement scores had operating margins that were 5.75 percentage points greater than those of low-engagement companies; net profit margins were 3.44 percentage points more.

So the book for me is kind of weird, because I suspended my career for a couple years working on it. But you know, in the end, I was obsessed with Chinese food, so I really didn’t have a choice.

...pieces with melodies obviously influenced by groups like The Velvet Underground and My Bloody Valentine, the Brian Jonestown Massacre has a modern message to convey in their own subtle way. The lyrics become less and less clear as the album progresses until it ends with the doomsday finale, electonica low-fi “Black-Hole-Symphony.” “My Bloody Underground” may not be the most optimistic or the most original album, but it makes for memorable listening nonetheless...
