Perhaps two-thirds of its customers in America are grizzled white guys. But unlike the GOP it has worked to broaden its appeal. As well as touring bikes big enough to fit a Jacuzzi on, it now offers zippier models that are easier to ride if you are female. Sales were roaring until last summer. But then it hit something harder and faster than a 1690cc Fat Boy: the dollar http://econ.st/1PuFAWTStarts today: "Japan Speaks Out!

The device of association is not, however, the only method by which Verlaine attains to the peculiar intimacy of his manner. He secures a similar effect by the garrulous confidences of his poems, by the way in which he renders the casual moods and habits of his life interesting and emotional.
Louis Pouzin, a garrulous Frenchman, helped create the internet. Mr Pouzin is now 82, and nominally retired. But like many other networking pioneers he is using his fame to campaign for greater openness and transparency on the internet, as its elegant design comes under growing commercial and political pressure http://econ.st/1hvCwgk

Unilever Tries to Corner 'Stock' Market
By STUART ELLIOTT 3 minutes ago
Knorr, a giant food brand owned by Unilever, pulls out the stops to introduce a new concentrated stock broth globally.
Europe May Be Turning the Corner
The missing pieces in the euro-zone jigsaw puzzle may be falling into place with the German Constitutional Court ruling. Now, growth is the key missing element.
Some consultants who help Web sites to improve their search rankings said sites like Demand’s might not feel the brunt of the change. They said Google’s real target was the hundreds of no-profile companies that post duplicate copies of the same text on hundreds of Web sites.
And many of the sites will figure out a new way to climb back up Google’s rankings, said Mr. Copeland of GroupM Search.
“This is a group of people who will analyze this change, come back with a new strategy on Tuesday and be ranking by Thursday,” he said. “It’s kind of like what happens when drug dealers get busted. They don’t find new jobs. They switch corners.”
