Designed by Skidmore Owings & Merrill, and completed in 1993, the building is composed of black steel, glass and black granite cladding. In style it is a modernist twist on gothic architecture, and slightly reminiscent of HR Giger's designs. it currently holds European offices for the Wall Street Journal, CNBC and Dow Jones International. In 2015 the building changed hands for £155m, a 50% mark up on its 2005 purchase.

Comcast said Wednesday that it will spin off its cable networks, including MSNBC and CNBC, in a bid to unshackle its movie studio and theme parks from the waning fortunes of traditional television.
NBCUniversal, Comcast’s media division, is set to cleave off a bundle of cable channels that generate roughly $7 billion in revenue annually, including USA, Oxygen, E!, Syfy and Golf Channel, into a new public company. Comcast will keep the NBC broadcast network under NBCUniversal, along with Bravo, home to reality TV programs like “Top Chef,” the company’s theme parks and its Universal studio.
Brian Roberts, the influential chief executive of Comcast, will own a one-third voting stake in the new company, which is expected to complete the spinoff to Comcast investors before the end of next year, after shareholder and regulatory approval. Mr. Roberts will not serve on the board of the new venture nor oversee its operations.
The spinoff is a reversal of sorts for Mr. Roberts, who has spent much of his professional life building up the cable business founded by his father, Ralph, into a globe-spanning media and telecommunications giant. By splitting his kingdom into pieces, Mr. Roberts follows one of his longtime mentors, the cable pioneer John Malone, who has long relied on a web of spinoffs and so-called tracking stocks to manage his sprawling media empire.

Cable television, once a juggernaut that propelled the share prices of traditional media companies, has become a financial albatross. Though they remain enormously profitable, cable TV channels are in long-term decline as viewers replace subscriptions with streaming services like Netflix or YouTube TV.

Those losses have posed tricky questions for big media companies that are trying to build streaming businesses alongside their decaying cable networks. For Comcast, will investors be more enthusiastic about streaming services like NBCUniversal’s Peacock if they weren’t under the same corporate roof as cable TV channels? And will any gain for Peacock be worth giving up the regular, if imperiled, profits produced by the cable networks? In both cases, it appears the answer is yes.
Comcast said Wednesday that the new company will be unencumbered by debt and well-positioned to scoop up other assets. Comcast announced last month that it was considering a spinoff, leading analysts to speculate that the new company would be on the hunt to buy rival cable TV networks, cobbling together a bigger bundle of channels.

In addition to the cable channels, the spinoff will inherit some of NBCUniversal’s digital assets, including the Rotten Tomatoes film and TV review site and Fandango, the movie ticketing business.
Some of NBCUniversal’s most senior executives will join the new company.
Mark Lazarus, the chairman of NBCUniversal Media Group, will be chief executive of the as-yet unnamed company. Anand Kini, the chief financial officer of NBCUniversal, will be chief operating officer and financial chief of the new venture.
But many senior executives will remain at NBCUniversal.
Donna Langley, the company’s chief content officer, will become chairman of NBCUniversal Entertainment and Studios, with increased sway over the company’s content spending. Cesar Conde, the chairman of NBCUniversal News Group, will continue to oversee NBC News, along with Telemundo and the local TV stations.
Matt Strauss, the NBCUniversal executive overseeing Peacock, will become chairman of NBCUniversal Media Group. Adam Miller, an executive vice president at NBCUniversal in charge of technology, communications and human resources, will be chief operating officer of NBCUniversal.

It started with the space collection of Apollo artifacts. I wanted a moon rock to go with it. And the only legal way to get a moon rock is as a lunar meteorite. So it started with one very specific quest, but expanded a bit over time as I came to learn about the amazing stories each of these time capsules from our early solar system can tell us.
I eventually found the largest known Moon Rock on Earth from the ancient Lunar Highlands, NWA5000 was much larger than any brought back by Apollo. (image below)
And it is beautiful. The matrix looks like a black and white intaglio print of the universe rendered by a spirited yet masterful artist. This stone contains breccias within breccias, and the preferential orientation of clasts (from impact compression on the moon) lends a unique 3D appearance to flat surfaces. A generous amount of 4.5-billion year old gleaming metal is present, adding yet another striking element to nature’s artwork.
Only 0.2% of meteorites are from the moon or Mars, making them more rare than pure diamond on Earth.

Irvin Johnson Building
DeKalb County, Georgia, USA.
2 December 2020.
***************
▶ Despite the shameful, near seditious efforts of Donny tRump and his cabal of quisling Republics, voting remains a right of every American citizen. And absentee voting (via mail or, as here, in a dropbox) is a LEGAL right of every citizen in America and thus, here, in the state of Georgia.
***************
▶ The state of Georgia has not elected a Democratic senator since 1996. On 5 January 2021, that could change. Georgia citizens, voting in two runoff elections, will determine which party controls the U.S. Senate.
▶ Nationally, Republics have 50 Senate seats, while Democrats have flipped one net seat, for a total of 48 seats. If Democrats win both Georgia races in January, the Senate would be divided, 50-50. Under the Constitution, Vice President Kamala Harris would then be the tiebreaking vote, thus giving the Democratic Party unified control of the White House and Congress, allowing President Joe Biden to undo some of the damage wreaked by tRump and his Republic accomplices.
▶ On 5 January, vote for both:
☞ Reverend Raphael Warnock (pastor, MLK's Ebennezer Baptist Church)
☞ Jon Ossoff (fellow Lithuanian-American!)
***************
▶ How to vote in state of Georgia
☞ Registration (deadline: next Monday, 7 December)
☞ Request absentee ballot (Absentee ballots can be mailed in or dropped off NOW. But...all absentee ballots must be received by 7 p.m. on 5 January 2021 to be counted.)
☞ Early voting locations (begins 14 December)
☞ Election day, 5 January 2021: voting precinct locations

Signature Bank
71 Broadway, Manhattan
Update: On Friday March 10, 2023, Signature Bank customers spooked by the sudden collapse of Silicon Valley Bank withdrew more than $10 billion in deposits, a board member told CNBC.
Signature had $89 billion in total deposits, and 90% of those were not insured by the FDIC. Once the public lost trust in Signature, a bank run led to the sudden demise of the bank. On Sunday March 12, 2023, New York's financial regulators shut down Signature Bank. The Federal Insurance Deposit Corp. said it transferred all Signature Bank deposits and substantially all of the firm’s assets to Signature Bridge Bank NA, a full-service bank that will be operated by the FDIC, as it markets the institution to potential bidders.
According to the New York Times, Signature Bank is a major bank to New York's real estate professional services firms and the risky crypto currency sector. The bank long specialized in providing banking services to law firms, providing escrow accounts for holding client money and other services.

TODAY'S COMMENTARY Monday, May 9th 2005
Tina Brown: Voice for a New Creative Revolution
By Jack Myers
Four days before she announced the closing of her CNBC show, Tina Brown and I met for Lunch at Michael's where she talked about the difficult task of continuing her weekly CNBC program, Topic A with Tina Brown; writing her weekly Washington Post column; being a parent (with husband Sir Harry Evans) of two children (14 and 18); and writing her book Remembering Diana on the legacy of the Princess of Wales. Research for the book, which was acquired by Doubleday for $2 million, will require Tina to commute regularly between her native England and New York, where she has lived for the past twenty years.
Creative People Are Draining Out of New York
She's clearly enthusiastic about her book and is looking forward to spending more time in London. "London feels more creative today than New York," she shared with me over lunch. "Something like the Tribeca Film Festival is great and brings out the energy of New York but the creative action is moving out of New York. We're seeing the results of the mergers of the 1990s playing out in the culture. Money people are finally driving art out of the business. Media gatekeepers," she believes, "need to become more focused on creativity as an economic force. They need to encourage a real boutique atmosphere that supports creativity. Creative people are going underground; pulling up the castle doors; draining out of the city. We haven't had a crazy creative entrepreneur with a vision, like Ted Turner, in the media business for years." Tina is passionate about the challenges resulting from the "tremendous upheaval in our culture with people trying to figure out how they can be creative and smart and yet get around the numbers culture. Creative people feel they have to figure out ways to be creative in the middle of a major upheaval."
Getting the "Big Get"
Tina admitted she loved doing her CNBC show although audiences were comparatively small. "It allowed me to shed light on interesting stories that don't get light elsewhere and that's what I've always done. She acknowledged the frustrations of a low production budget for Topic A, a small "but fabulous and extremely talented" five-person support staff, and limited availability of studio and editing time for the weekly hour. "Even though I couldn't always get the 'big get' of the week, we had great guests -- Tony Blair, John McCain, George Clooney, Annette Benning, Les Moonves -- backed up by other interesting and intelligent people and a format that allowed guests to have a voice. TV requires 'names' but sometimes 'names' are the least interesting guests. The 'big get'- especially if it's a politician - is often saying boilerplate stuff and is not interesting. I'm more interested in content and useful information, and we had a core group of loyal viewers who really appreciated what we did each week. We got tremendous feedback and I think we did bring something different and intelligent to television. The final episode of Topic A will air on May 29, although Tina told me in a follow-up conversation that she expects to return to television. "I'm sure I'll come back. I'm not abandoning TV," she told me.
Panic in the News Business
I observed that Tina focused primarily on content related issues while her Topic A guests would often focus instead on business and marketing topics, and Tina agreed "people keep focusing on the numbers and they are making 'branding' a cult. When is thinking and nitty-gritty old-fashioned creative work going to re-emerge? It's time to re-focus on the non-selling part of the business. The outlets for creativity are shrinking."
Tina believes there is "panic" on the news side of the television business and "the networks are running for their lives," although she commends network TV dramas (her favorite current show is "24") and Fox News, which "has a clear identity and flair."
Sleepy Time for Magazines
"It's also a sleepy time for magazines as a force in the culture," says the soft-spoken publishing veteran. "You don't see magazine companies starting new edgy magazines. The magazines that are doing well are more marketing tools, like Lucky. You don't see magazine editorial making waves. It's the same reason," she observes, "that Broadway is full of Hollywood actors at the moment. They can't get the roles they want in films. Theater and book publishing are the last homes for edgy content."
Noting there are few outlets in television or magazines for long-form journalism other than Vanity Fair and The New Yorker, Tina commented "you have no place to write if you're a good writer and want to write long form narrative. There's no such thing as prestige success in America; just commercial success. There's plenty of photo work if you're a celebrity photographer, but few outlets for serious photo journalism. In television, it's a shame there isn't something like the BBC here. PBS is too timid and has had a loss of creative freedom. " On Topic A, she points out, "I could give historian Thomas Cahill ten-minutes to talk about the Pope rather than the thirty-seconds the news networks gave him, but it still isn't enough. Audiences are hungry for more serious journalism," she argues, noting the success of the Penn Literary Festival for International Writers where "the house was packed for every activity."
Table Hopping at Michael's
Our table was a favorite stop for several table-hoppers at Michael's including Hearst's Cathy Black, Peter Price, Jane Pauley, Esquire's Kevin O'Malley, Bobby Friedman, Gerry Byrne, Bill McGorry, Jake Weisbach of Miramax Books, and producer/novelist Holly Peterson holding a launch copy of WWDScoop. Much of our lunch conversation was about the Cream reunion at Albert Hall ("the Brits are more excited about Cream than the election"); Spamalot and Monty Python (we're both fans); our shared rock 'n roll passions (Steve Winwood, Traffic, Dylan, classic rock); her Vital Voices Global Partnership voluntary work; Tina's children and two cats; and her favorite current movies (The Great Wonderful, Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven).
Tina is a creative icon whose star burned bright as a writer for New Statesman and as a 25-year old editor for the U.K.'s Tatler. She came to the U.S. in 1984 to edit Vanity Fair, where she pioneered quality celebrity journalism, became a publishing phenom and achieved her own degree of celebrity. After eight years at Vanity Fair Tina made a surprising move to The New Yorker, continuing to develop a cult-like group of writers who were given free reign to author lengthy journalistic pieces on diverse subjects. "I've always had the sensibility to shed light on interesting stuff that doesn't get visibility elsewhere," she says. "I miss matching writers to stories and I miss the narrative."
Talk Magazine
After leaving The New Yorker, she launched Talk magazine with publisher Ron Galotti and lead investor Miramax, headed by Harvey and Bob Weinstein. "It was a hairy experience," Tina laughs. "I learned to choose who you go into business with and to do more due diligence." She also noted that business realities overwhelm editorial logic. "It's much better to start quietly, do something like an out-of-town tryout for six issues, and have slow growth. But you need to hype the magazine with advertisers to get them interested. We were hoisted on our own expectations."
Ironically, she points out, the book company that quietly emerged from her venture with Miramax has been very successful with several best sellers and critically acclaimed books. Tina still feels "tremendous loyalty" to The New Yorker; believes Atlantic Monthly "is doing a good job and getting more buzz;" and enjoys The New Republic , which she reads online. She also recommends The Sun, a New York City weekly newspaper that "has really interesting stories and pays attention to culture." She's a loyal reader of articles written by Andrew Sullivan, Sidney Blumenthal, Adam Gopnik, Rick Hertzberg and Ken Auletta, among several others. Her favorite TV commentators are Chris Matthews ("terrific"), Tim Russert, John McLaughlin ("fascinated by his technique"), Keith Olberman ("droll, honest and low-key") and Greta Van Susteren.
The common characteristics among her favorites are their commitment to quality content, their focus on interesting stories, their insights on culture, and their creativity. Tina might someday return to magazine editing and promises to return to television, but it will be on her terms with a determination to let down the castle bridge and open the gates to talented creative people, giving them the opportunity to tell their stories in narrative form. "I have a literary obsession," she admits. "I miss long-form narrative story telling. This upheaval in the culture may last five years and there needs to be outlets for creative people."
