There's no end in sight to American's shopping mall crisis, according to a Morningstar research report. 

Hundreds of shopping malls have shut down over the last several years amid a pullback in consumer spending on apparel and accessories and the growth of ecommerce.

But the US is still oversaturated with shopping malls, and that's putting $48 billion in loans backed by mall properties at risk, according to the Morningstar analysts.

"The abundance of space, the growth of e-commerce... Читать дальше...

He did just enough.

Donald Trump became the first presidential nominee to threaten jail for his political opponent. He told half-truths, quarter-truths, and no-truths. He awkwardly paced and stood behind Clinton, looking at any moment as if he was about to pounce.

But he did not completely implode, and did not have a complete and total breakdown onstage. That's not necessarily good news for Trump, who needed some version of a grand slam to turn around his fortunes after a disastrous weekend. Читать дальше...

Retail sales in Texas boomed for five years straight, from March 2010, their low point during the Great Recession. Sales tax collections jumped 46% from the first half of 2010 through the first half of 2015 – dizzying growth for a mature market! Given the size of the Texas economy, it helped prop up US retail sales. But by May 2015, 10 months into the oil bust, things began to sag.

Sales tax collections in September for sales that occurred in August dropped 3.5% year-over-year... Читать дальше...

ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkey and Russia signed an agreement on Monday for the construction of a major undersea gas pipeline and vowed to seek common ground on the war in Syria, accelerating a normalization in ties nearly a year after Turkey shot down a Russian warplane.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan hosted Russia's Vladimir Putin at an Ottoman-era villa in Istanbul for talks which touched on energy deals, trade and tourism ties, defense and the conflict in Syria, where the two leaders back opposing sides. Читать дальше...

In a recent interview with T-Mobile US CEO John Legere, Business Insider asked him what he thought about competitor Verizon.

Legere said the company was even more "befuddled" than AT&T,  the other half of his competitors that he's dubbed "dumb and dumber."

He said Verizon's acquisition of "iconic 1990s internet companies," referring to AOL last year and Yahoo this year, "and a leadership shift that's going on now, with two or three aggressive people... Читать дальше...

Live audiences at political debates are stupid.

This was true even before Donald Trump tried to pull a ridiculous stunt by putting Paula Jones in his family's box at Sunday's debate — ultimately having to be told by debate commission co-chair Frank Fahrenkopf that the family box is for family only.

And it was true before Hillary Clinton seated Mark Cuban in the front row at the first debate in an effort to psych out Donald Trump.

Audiences are supposed to stay silent, but they don't. Читать дальше...

A longtime aide to former President Bill Clinton said Chelsea Clinton was "acting like a spoiled brat" in a 2011 email published by WikiLeaks on Monday in the organization's ongoing release of emails from John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign chair.

The aide, Doug Band, was emailing Podesta and longtime Hillary Clinton aide Cheryl Mills about a negative story about his consulting company, Teneo.

A difference of opinion between Band and Chelsea Clinton was made apparent in the email... Читать дальше...

The PlayStation 2 still holds the title of the best-selling video game console of all time, with over 150 million units sold in its lifetime.

It managed to stay in production for over a decade, from 2000 until 2013. We took a crack at the impossible task of whittling its massive library down to just 10 of its best platform-exclusive games, but had to eventually expand that roster to 12 so we didn't hurt too many people's feelings by excluding something — though we...

Laziness begets laziness.

Why go to the gym tonight? After all, you haven't gone in a week. Why take out the garbage when your whole apartment is a mess?

Good points. But it's time to break the cycle.

We browsed two Reddit threads on overcoming laziness and pulled out the easiest ways to set yourself on a path toward greater productivity.

These aren't major life overhauls — instead, they're small tweaks to your mindset and daily routine that can help you start getting stuff done. Читать дальше...

Let's be honest: the best part of any auto show is the supercar showing.

That's not to discredit other interesting and important aspects of the Paris Motor Show. This year's show gave us a closer look at Mercedes' electric car plans, as well as some good insight on what next year's SUVs will look like.

But there's a simple pleasure when it comes to gawking at high-speed cars you probably can never afford. And for that reason alone, we present the following round-up:

A new report from Korean news site ET News claims Samsung is "paying extra careful attention" towards the development of the Galaxy S8 to avoid the same debacle it's experiencing with the Note 7.

ET News also claims "huge changes" are coming to the Galaxy S8, including a new home button embedded underneath the display's glass panel, an all-display front surface with very narrow borders, a dual-lens camera, and a new Snapdragon 830 processor from Qualcomm. Читать дальше...

KFC

The Kentucky Fried Chicken Colonel Sanders is taking many different forms these days. 

In a marketing campaign to liven up the chicken chain, the elderly Colonel has been replaced by the likes of Darrell Hammond, Norm Macdonald, Jim Gaffigan, Rob Riggle, and now it’s been announced that “Mad Men” star Vincent Kartheiser is the latest to embody the mascot with the new image above.

Kartheiser will look a little different from his Pete Campbell days. In the campaign he's the... Читать дальше...

Nearly 20 years ago, Kat Cole was working as a Hooters waitress to put herself through college.

Today, she's the group president of Focus Brands, which operates eateries Cinnabon, Auntie Anne's, and Moe's Southwest Grill. Cinnabon alone is a $1 billion brand, reports Today.

Despite Hooters' tacky and low-brow reputation, Cole never took her job lightly, she told Business Insider at Cosmopolitan and SoFi's Fun Fearless Money event last month. Читать дальше...

Once upon a time, there was this decade called the '90s. People wore entirely too much plaid, music was basically a bunch of dudes from Seattle whining over guitars, and air travel was pretty straightforward. You paid one price, picked your seat, checked a bag or six, and if you flew during mealtime you got quasi-edible food. It might not have been golden, but it was at very least the Tolerable Age of flying.

Now? We're probably half a decade away from being charged for pressurized oxygen. Читать дальше...

MSNBC

Donald Trump's campaign manager on Monday claimed the Republican candidate made a "quip" when he threatened during Sunday's presidential debate to jail Clinton if he's elected.

"That was a quip," Kellyanne Conway said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

"And I saw in NBC’s own reporting it was referred to as a quip, so I'll go with NBC on it," she added.

Trump's threat came in a tense exchange about Clinton's use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state. Читать дальше...

Anders Ericsson

As a teenager in Sweden, Anders Ericsson used to play chess against one of his classmates, a boy considerably worse at the game than Ericsson. Every time they'd play, Ericsson would trounce him.

Then one day, the classmate beat him.

Ericsson wanted to know: What exactly had the boy done to improve his performance so drastically?

Though Ericsson didn't realize it then, the question would come to define his life's work.

In the years that followed his defeat at the hands of his classmate... Читать дальше...

Salesforce

The biggest new product to come out of Salesforce this year is an artificial intelligence feature called "Einstein."

Einstein basically collects and analyzes a bunch of data to push out "smarter" and more predictive analytics for Salesforce users.

But early reviews of Einstein seem to be mixed so far. Most users agree it's still at a very early stage and is a couple years away from becoming a mainstream product for large business users.

Werner Herzog is best known for his work behind the camera, as the director of some of the most memorable movies ever made both fictional ("Fitzcarraldo") and documentary ("Grizzly Man").

But as he told Business Insider on Monday, he loves "everything that has to do with cinema," and that includes being an occasional actor.

Over his career, his unique brand of storytelling that focuses on ambition and the dark fringes of society has bled into the kinds of roles he's taken... Читать дальше...

Lisa S. Coico, president of City College, the flagship of the City University of New York (CUNY), abruptly resigned Friday amid an investigation into her use of college funds to pay for personal expenses, The New York Times reported.

Evidence the Times provided to the school a day earlier — which suggested that a 2011 memo detailing Coico's reimbursements had been fabricated — may have sparked her resignation.

City College was established in 1847... Читать дальше...
