...unhappy with Branson?s bid, however, it is unclear where they might find a better one. The U.S.-based private-equity firm JC Flowers has also promised to repay billions of pounds of the Bank of England loan upfront, but its proposal offers shareholders only around 1 pence per share. Another investment firm, Olivant, has proposed buying a minority stake while parachuting new management in, a plan that would keep share prices at higher levels. But with the British government having already plunged billions of dollars into the bank, it will want to retain a say in any potential deal...
...their demands are not without reason, even if they lack proletarian appeal. Of course writers deserve a cut of whatever profits are made in streaming video. Of course it’s outrageous that they receive only one third of a cent per dollar of royalties—they’re certainly justified in asking for two thirds of a cent. And I do understand that this is a “matter of survival” for the WGA’s less famous members, whose condition is so similar to my own: untalented, unemployed, and unpaid...
Providence, averaging just 63 points per game prior to the night’s matchup, put up 93 in a 93-70 win over the Crimson (2-4), led by guard Jeff Xavier’s long-distance fireworks. The junior scored a game-high 27 points, highlighted by seven of his team’s 14 total makes from beyond the three-point line.

According to the U.S. military, attacks of all kinds per week nationwide have fallen to roughly 575, down from a high of roughly 1,600 in June. Civilian deaths have fallen by 60% nationwide since then, too. In Baghdad, easily the most violent area of Iraq, a grim measure of the prevailing conditions comes in the count of bodies found...
...kaiseki. We've eaten at many exclusive kaiseki restaurants, including the renowned Hyotei and Kikunoi. I speak passable Japanese, and my epicurean husband happily devours everything from poison-blowfish sperm to stewed snapping turtle. Kitcho doesn't take credit cards, so we were prepared to pay $400 to $600 per person in cash. But in Japan--and certainly at Kitcho--protocol and relationships are sacred. You are nobody until someone introduces you properly. For us the magic word came from a friend, the Catalan chef Santi Santamaria, who had been introduced by the director of a well-known Japanese culinary...
