...KINGSBURY MANX. Grammy-winning songstress Norah Jones nabbed a slice of the spotlight from today’s pop divas by eschewing the theatrics and focusing on her unique, raspy vocals. The Kingsbury Manx already seem to have learned that a whisper can speak louder than a whoop when it comes to polishing their own low-key tunes.

Brand awareness remains crucial in the money-transfer market, where transactions are up in part because of increased migration but also because more of the cash sent by the workers of the world is starting to travel through formal channels. Even gargantuan Western Union gets only a 12% slice of the total remittance market because so many people still send money by mailing a check or getting someone to hand-deliver the money. Every month in Los Angeles, German, 33, sends $100 to his sister in Nicaragua via Western Union or, whenever possible, by a courier who charges a couple...
