FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Deutsche Bank bosses face a formidable task to drag its shares off a 30-year low, with reassurances about its capital levels doing little to improve investor confidence and few other options on the table to trigger a recovery.

Germany's flagship lender has trailed its rivals in bouncing back from the 2008 financial crisis, hamstrung by having to pay out billions of dollars in fines to end a string of legal disputes and ageing technical infrastructure. Читать дальше...

It's been months since two shooters attacked a community center in San Bernardino, California. And law-enforcement officials still can't get into the phone of one of the killers, FBI Director James Comey told a Senate committee on Tuesday.

Although law enforcement has the authority to access the phone, they haven't been able to get past the locking feature on the device. Comey said that law enforcement is still working to access the data in the phone.

Has Toyota’s youth-oriented sub-brand, Scion, failed, or merely timed out in its mission?

Jim Lentz, Toyota’s CEO for North America, announced yesterday in a video statement that the brand will be phased out after the 2016 model year, with all products but the tC coupe reappearing with a Toyota badge (and, perhaps, a new corresponding Toyota name).

Some will argue that Scion’s death was a long time coming, a result of some ill-conceived vehicles, a tenuous product plan... Читать дальше...

For the first time since Stephen Colbert shed his right-wing blowhard character from the "Colbert Report," his former muse, Bill O'Reilly, joined him on "The Tonight Show" for a frank discussion in advance of the New Hampshire primary. 

The highlight of the segment came when O'Reilly, imitating Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders, did his best to sum up Sanders' strong position on how the US economy is run. 

"It's the billionaihs," O'Reilly, poorly mocking Sanders' Brooklyn accent, told Colbert. Читать дальше...

You can't put your finger on it, but something's missing from the year-end rigmarole. The company holiday party is long over – thank goodness – and the canned food drive went splendidly.

You re-enrolled in your company health plan, and your W-2s are on their way. Your annual raise came through … wait a minute!

If you were denied your annual raise this year, you may be beyond frustrated. Being passed over suggests that your manager doesn't value your work or is frustratingly tightfisted. Читать дальше...

The R-rated “Deadpool” goes out of its way to be a different moviegoing experience for superhero fans, with its adult language and ultra-violence.

But to drive home just how adult the material is, the film also includes a nude fight scene between Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and his nemesis Ajax (Ed Skrein).

In a recent interview with Buzzfeed, Reynolds went into some detail about the experience of shooting the sequence. 

“There’s a lot of me there,” Reynolds said. Читать дальше...

When a guy starts to bald, the rules change.

The changes shouldn't be drastic, but he needs to keep in mind some things he didn't think about before. That includes what he should wear, but also how he should treat his facial hair, the only remaining hair on his head.

Going bald is a study in contrasts. Now that you no longer have the hair on your head to contrast the rest of your face, it can sometimes seem visually imbalanced, as there's no hair to break up your face's shape.

CBS "Late Show" host Stephen Colbert began his Monday-night show with a hilarious spoof of the botched intro to Saturday's Republican presidential debate, during which retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson created a logjam when he didn't hear his name called to enter the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the musical director of "The Late Show," John Batiste," the show's announcer said to open the show. "And now your host, Stephen Colbert."

Only, Colbert pulled a Carson and did not enter the stage. Читать дальше...

If you've heard of Amy Cuddy, it's probably because you saw her 2012 TED talk on the benefits of "power posing."

Her theory:  Stand like Wonder Woman for two minutes before a big meeting or event, and your confidence will spike — as if by magic.

Four years later, the Harvard psychologist has released an entire book on the virtues of changing your posture to change your attitudes.

Buying your first home is an exciting process, but it's not just about finding the features you want.

If you're like most people, price plays a major role in your decision. After all, even if you feel confident that you can afford a property, you'll still have to convince a lender.

All lenders have unique lending guidelines, but they usually include some of the same key benchmarks. Here are two metrics they'll use to decide how large a loan to issue you:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A satellite launched into orbit by North Korea on Saturday has now stabilized in its orbit around the earth, a U.S. official and a second source familiar with the matter said on Tuesday.

However the satellite is not believed to be transmitting any data back to earth, the second source said.

The satellite was initially tumbling in orbit, but has now stabilized, making it more successful than a launch in 2012, which failed to achieve a stable orbit... Читать дальше...

American Pharoah will command a stud fee that will pay the owners of his breeding rights $200,000 per foal. This is the highest amount ever for an unproven, first-year stallion, according to Monte Reel of Bloomberg.

Remember all those times your parents told you it was rude to sigh?

Well, you can discount that advice entirely, because sighing's actually a crucial reflex that keeps our lungs healthy, and researchers have just uncovered the switch in our brain that controls it. 

The team identified two tiny clusters of neurons in the brain stem that automatically turn normal breaths into sighs when our lungs need some extra help — and they do this roughly every 5 minutes (or 12 times an hour)... Читать дальше...

Michael Moore's new movie "Where To Invade Next" opens everywhere on Friday. Here is our interview with the filmmaker that we conducted in December. 

Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Michael Moore is in a good mood. And it's not because he thinks the country is in good shape. But as he gets on the phone with Business Insider, he can't contain himself, as he's just left Trump Tower in Manhattan, where he stood with a sign that read "We Are All Muslim" until the police asked him to leave.
