Consumer sentiment rebounded in early November after dropping to a two-year low in the prior month, according to the University of Michigan's monthly survey. 

The index of consumer sentiment jumped to 91.6 from 87.2, more than economists had forecast. 

"The recent gain in sentiment was driven by an improved outlook for the economy," said Richard Curtin, the survey's chief economist.

We don't have to tell you that the television world is cutthroat. And with as many as 450 scripted shows projected to air this year, that's truer than ever before. After all, they can't all be winners.

It's about that time in the season that TV networks are making their decisions about which shows have to go and which shows get another round.

The decisions aren't always simple. With today's shrinking live viewership, it takes more than just ratings for a TV show to survive to see another season. Читать дальше...

After a recent incredibly strong El Niño episode, it looks like the tides — or at least the Pacific Ocean sea surface temperatures — have shifted.

Conditions have aligned (in some cases barely, but enough) to the point that "La Niña has officially arrived," according to Emily Becker, writing over at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) ENSO blog.

And though these aren't strong La Niña conditions, they will affect the winter weather forecast for the United States.

It should be no surprise that skills learned in the military such as decision-making under pressure, organization, and leadership translate well to the corporate boardroom. And those skills tend to make a big difference, with companies led by former military officers tending to show better performance.

People like Fred Smith or Sam Walton have become household names for their business success. Lesser known is their service prior to the companies they founded.

Apple is preparing new iPads for a launch in March, Barclays analysts Blayne Curtis and Christopher Hemmelgarn wrote in a note distributed to clients on Friday. 

The analysts cite supply chain sources spoken to during a trip to Asia.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Plc, the drugmaker that became a poster child for high drug prices during the U.S. election season, may change its name to help boost its reputation, board member and top investor William Ackman told CNBC on Wednesday.

A name change would be the latest effort by the company to break from its past, after hiring a new chief executive, overhauling the board and exploring billions of dollars in asset sales to pay down a $30 billion debt load. Читать дальше...

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his allies hope to benefit from Donald Trump’s election win, believing it has saved them from the risks of an interventionist Clinton administration.

Trump's win may have already shifted the course of the Russian-backed military campaign in Aleppo. A senior pro-Assad official told Reuters that plans to capture the rebel-held east by January were shaped around an assumption Clinton would win.

Donald Trump is now the US president-elect. With that, it's worth taking a look at how he could affect aviation in the country.

Trump has focused heavily on airport quality

Throughout the campaign, Trump's commentary on aviation has been limited to airports.

More specifically, Trump has waxed poetic about the abysmal quality of US airports, specifically calling out New York LaGuardia and shining a spotlight on the disparity between certain US airports and Middle Eastern mega hubs such as Doha... Читать дальше...
