Haruko Ohmae has the sort of job skills that should get her hired immediately. She can program a computer, chop sushi, speak Russian, operate heavy equipment and (most important) pour tea. But Haruko doesn't have a full-time job. She's a part-timer-and the main character in the new hit Japanese TV show Haken no Hinkaku, which roughly translates as "the dignity of temp workers." Japan may once have enshrined lifetime corporate employment, but today nearly a third of its workforce is made up of part-timers like Haruko, as companies that cut payrolls during the recession...
...swaying palm trees on the beach of a private island owned by Richard Branson in the British Virgin Islands. It is the week after Thanksgiving, and Branson is playing host to a "galactic get-together" on Necker Island. Beer and wine are being consumed like so much rocket fuel. Sushi floats in on a boat--to the middle of the pool. (Swimsuits required!) There's a casino party one night, a tennis tourney in the pouring rain and golf off the top deck of Branson's Balinese-inspired house on the hill--which you can do when...
Rick Rubin enjoys long walks on the beach, sushi dinners and hugs that warm the corners of the soul. Behind the ZZ Top exterior lurks the soul of a Playmate. Rubin is also the most widely accomplished record producer of the past 20 years, getting career-best work out of everyone from the Dixie Chicks to the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Justin Timberlake--all of whom are vying for Album of the Year at the Grammys on Feb. 11. He's able to do this largely because his teddy-bear sensitivity defies every stereotype of his profession. Unlike Phil...

"It was a weird time for us, obviously," says Robison. "If he had come in like a car salesman and said, 'I can totally hear a sound for you all,' we would have been put off. But he said, 'I don't know what this record will be, but you guys have something...
...menu consists of salads, pizzas and-unusually for a place in this neck of the woods-sushi. It's all of a serviceable standard, but Fiesta's young, cosmopolitan atmosphere, the weekend DJ nights and the opportunities for people watching through expansive windows overlooking colorful Uritskogo Street-one of the city's main shopping drags-add plenty of seasoning. An added bonus is Arbatskii Dvorik, the cozy restaurant located upstairs from the café, which is named after the Arbat, a famous street in Moscow. As well as English menus, you'll find some decent wines there-a big plus...
