...used for more essential purchases. A second language is nice, but it doesn't pay the rent. Another challenge for Rosetta Stone: the barrier to entering the language learning market is small. "While we think its unique self-study program is scalable, niche software developers like this rarely enjoy success over the long-term," Lemos wrote in an April research note. "There are many larger software companies with much greater financial, research and development, and marketing resources, and Rosetta Stone's recent success could draw these firms into the market." It probably wouldn't cost a Microsoft or Google...
...debate over Rosetta Stone's effectiveness has yet to sour the stock. But investors hoping that the stock's success will start an IPO surge - there have only been four offerings this year - might be disappointed. Rosetta Stone worked because it's a profitable company with solid growth prospects and manageable debt. Many IPO hopefuls don't share these traits.

Enter Steve Lopez (Robert Downey Jr.), an eccentric, popular Los Angeles Times columnist who, despite his professional success, seems to be barely keeping it together. He goes flying over his bike on the way to work, accidentally sprays a bag of coyote urine in his face as he cleans his backyard, and works with his snarky ex-wife (Catherine Keener). With this, the movie constructs the seemingly perfect...
...supervisory special agent from 1997 to 2005 - and one of the FBI's few Arabic speakers - Soufan was involved in a string of crucial investigations and interrogations, from the Millennium Bombing plot in Jordan to the U.S.S. Cole bombing in Yemen and a number of Gitmo interrogations. His greatest success was the interrogation of Abu Jandal, bin Laden's former bodyguard. After the 9/11 attacks, Soufan's interrogation of Abu Jandal yielded a rich trove of information on al-Qaeda, including the identities of some of the 9/11 attackers and the terror group's top leadership.
