Would Leonardo DiCaprio Take A Role In J.J. Abrams' 'Star Wars'?
Of the major Hollywood stars working today, Leonardo DiCaprio may be the most averse to tentpoles with franchise potential. The actor has certainly had his share of hits, but aside from an appearance in "Critters 3," DiCaprio hasn't appearance in any sequels. So what gives, Leo? MTV News' Josh Horowitz asked him whether it was [...]

Chinese management talent - Business Insider
China's economy, and the number of big global businesses with a presence there, has absolutely exploded over the past decade ? but the number of executives with local experience and global chops hasn't kept up.
The result is a large and growing shortage of local executive talent. ?
A job posting encountered by the FT's Andrew Hill highlights how big the problem is. A Shenzhen-based company wanted a candidate who was:
- Fluent in Mandarin
- Able to communicate in fluent, idiomatic English with superiors in Europe or the United States
- Completely comfortable with Chinese business culture
- Already embedded in China, but willing to relocate at any time.
- Familiar with both local consumer habits and big global trends
That's quite a list. And there simply aren't many people that fit the bill.
Hill spoke to?Katherine Xin, a management professor at Shanghai's China Europe International Business School, who estimated that the number of mainland Chinese executives capable of competing at the highest levels of global business is "in the low thousands only."
So on one side, you have Chinese companies trying to grow outside their own borders, and international companies trying to access the massive Chinese market. The result is a massive talent crunch, and a high poach rate.?
The competition is so fierce that some companies are reluctant to spend the time or money on training local talent abroad, because they expect them to be poached.?
Importing expatriates is far from ideal, and even Taiwanese, Hong Kong based, or returning Chinese emigres can take a long time to understand or adapt to the mainland.
Until Chinese business education dramatically improves or companies significantly invest in management training, there's going to be a shortage.?
As much as a problem as this is for Chinese companies and global companies active in China, it's also a huge opportunity for people willing to commit to a career in the country.?

Will Chael Sonnen hang it up for good after UFC 159 loss to Jon Jones?
"I'm not going to be one of the guys to hang around. If there's not a road to the title, then this sport isn't for me. I believe that was probably my last opportunity," Sonnen said to UFC commentator Joe Rogan.
He didn't specifically say "I'm retiring," but he did talk about the end of the road. This seems like more than the emotional ramblings of a fighter after a bad loss. B.J. Penn threatened retirement several times before it stuck. Nick Diaz has retired and unretired plenty of times.
Retirement wouldn't be out of the question. He's 36 years old and has fought in 40 fights after a long career as an amateur and collegiate wrestler.
If he does decide to retire, don't expect him to play shuffleboard and take up gardening. He already works as a commentator for Fox's broadcasts. During the last season of "The Ultimate Fighter," he proved to be a capable coach. Retirement would not mean Sonnen was done with MMA.
Sonnen talked his way into a title shot with Jones just months after he dropped a title shot to Anderson Silva at middleweight. Deserved or not, Sonnen has had several chances to win the UFC belt, and he hasn't won any of them. Not many fighters get more chances than he has. If the belt is the only thing that's important, why not retire?

Man stabs choir members during closing hymns at New Mexico church, police say
By Daniel Arkin, Staff Writer, NBC News
At least four people were stabbed at an Albuquerque, N.M., church when a man went on a rampage during?a Sunday?service?s closing hymns, police said.
Albuquerque Police Department officials say the unidentified suspect with a weapon leaped over pews and lunged at members of the choir just before noon on Sunday. He repeatedly stabbed choir members, according to police.
Police officers dispatched to St. Jude Thaddeus Parish discovered that several parishioners had?pinned the suspect to the floor, according to police spokesperson Tasia Martinez.
?The scene was chaotic when officers arrived and it was quickly ascertained that numerous parishioners essentially jumped on the male offender and held him down until officers arrived,? Martinez said.
Officials have the suspect in custody. Officials said they have determined that the assailant was not a parishioner at the church but have not determined a motive for the attack.
The four stabbing victims all sustained non-life threatening injuries and were being treated at local hospitals, according to authorities. Officials have not yet released the names of the victims.
Law enforcement officials and the Albuquerque Fire Department plan to release more information about the incident late Sunday.
