Their off-the-ice partnership is more suited to today's silver screen. Pelletier divorced his wife and last year moved in with Sale. And though they decline to discuss their romantic relationship, fans have caught flashes of it. After Sale bobbled at the recent Canadian championships, Pelletier had a full-blown tantrum that left Sale in tears. He later told the press he owed her an apology...
While the legal battles drag out in court, pirates are enjoying a virtual free-for-all.

The lobby of Shinsei's steel-and-glass headquarters in central Tokyo looks more like an Internet cafe than a bank, with customers lounging at flat-screen computers while making transactions and checking stock quotes. Other bank branches share space with Starbucks...
