It was a tough choice when I decided to leave New York City last year, just six years after I moved there. Like a lot of people my age, however, I was seeing my future in New York as plagued with constant money frustrations.

In 2016, Carl's Jr. and Hardee's want spokeswomen with both cleavage and complexity. 

"At one point in time, we were using 'Sports Illustrated' swimsuit models," Andy Pudzer, CEO of Carl's Jr. and Hardee's parent company CKE Restaurants, told Business Insider.

A lot changes when you leave your job for good: the freedom to choose what to do with most of your hours, your mental focus.

And then there are the visual changes. David Letterman has proven a man's look can change a lot in retirement, as he's stepped out since leaving CBS's "Late Show" with a huge, bushy beard and, more recently, what appears to be a shaved head.

Letterman also looks distinctly happy. Following his 33-year career in late-night hosting, he's been... Читать дальше...

Mike Krzyzewski has issued an apology after audio of his confrontation with an Oregon basketball player in the NCAA Tournament was made public.

"Today, I spoke with Oregon head coach Dana Altman and apologized to him for my remarks to Dillon Brooks following our game. It is not my place to talk to another team's player and doing so took the focus away from the terrific game that Dillon played. In the postgame press conference, I reacted incorrectly to a reporter's question about my comment to Dillon.

Gal Gadot is Wonder Woman, and she's stealing the show.

For those unfamiliar with her name, the 30-year-old actress is best known for her roles in four "Fast and Furious" films.

In the car business, impressions matter. But for a big chunk of the 2000s, the impression Lincoln made was that it didn't matter.

Lincoln has been around since 1917 and has been part of Ford since 1922. Over the decades, it established itself as first a premium and later a luxury brand, minting several icons along the way: The Continental, which became a presidential limousine, and later the Navigator, the first large luxury SUV.

In the early 1990s, Lincoln was selling nearly a quarter-million vehicles a year. Читать дальше...

When was the last time you called your car company?

It's a deceptively simple question, but it also underscores an important benefit of Tesla's direct sales and service model. Unlike most incumbent automakers, Tesla has a very direct relationship with its customers since the company has vertically integrated distribution and service, much to the dismay of car dealer associations around the country.
