Camp David summit to show Obama Gulf's generational shift Posted: 12 May 2015 09:27 AM PDT By Angus McDowall and William Maclean RIYADH/DUBAI (Reuters) - The new generation of Gulf Arab leaders meeting U.S. President Barack Obama on Wednesday appear more assertive than their fathers, want a range of alliances instead of dependence on Washington, and may be readier to say 'no' to their main ally. Saudi Arabia's King Salman, 79, caused a stir this week when he said he would send his two heirs to the United States for the summit instead, raising fears about Gulf anger over U.S. policy and reluctance to bless its plans for an Iran nuclear deal. Kuwait's 85-year-old emir is the only member of the old guard of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) leaders attending Camp David, although Qatar's emir, who has ruled for less than two years, will also be there.

Amidst an oil boom, North Dakota produces premium caviar Posted: 12 May 2015 09:10 AM PDT By Ernest Scheyder WILLISTON, N.D. (Reuters) - North Dakota is known globally not just for prolific oil production, but also, it turns out, for caviar. As paddlefish, one of North America's largest freshwater fish, make their way north to spawn, their eggs, or roe, are processed at the water's edge to make more than 2,000 pounds of caviar prized by clients from Tokyo to Toronto to New York. "Everyone will tell you that Russian sturgeon caviar is the best, and since the quality of our caviar is so close, we feel like we're second," said June Sheaks, executive director of North Star Caviar, the nonprofit company behind the caviar operation. Before North Star was formed about 25 years ago, roe from female paddlefish was discarded by North Dakota fishermen.

Verizon & AOL: An inevitable match Posted: 12 May 2015 08:37 AM PDT Perhaps it was inevitable that Verizon would buy AOL, and not just because the telco company is looking to push into content, mobile and video, and AOL—a frequently mentioned takeover target—offers just that.

Christie: Obama, Fed have worsened U.S. inequality Posted: 12 May 2015 07:33 AM PDT Potential Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie on Tuesday sharply criticized the policies of President Barack Obama and the Federal Reserve, saying they had widened the gulf between the rich and poor in the United States. The governor of New Jersey, Christie said Obama's failure to curb spending and his regulatory policies had led to stagnant growth. While middle-class families struggled, the Fed's "easy money" policies had boosted stock prices and helped the rich acquire even more wealth, he said.
