The price of salmon recovered some of the ground it lost last year, as prices on the Norwegian market leapt this week; they are up by over 30% compared with early last year. An algal bloom has reduced the output of salmon farms in Chile, the world's second-biggest producer, unnerving investors. Share prices of salmon firms have surged amid worries over supply; prices are expected to stay buoyant in the short-term.

Two former executives at Porsche SE were acquitted by a court on charges of misleading the markets about their intention to launch a takeover of Volkswagen in 2008. VW was not party to the trial. Porsche SE, a holding company, is being sued by investors over the matter, though the judge in the case said there was “absolutely nothing” to the allegations.
近日,两名前保时捷(Porsche SE)高管获无罪开释。2008年他们因收购大众汽车公司的企图造成市场混乱而遭到起诉。大众(VW)没有出席审判。控股公司保时捷就此受到投资者们的起诉,但负责该案件的法官表示这些指控都“绝对是子虚乌有”。
The pilot of a Lufthansa passenger jet reported that a drone had come within 61 metres (200 feet) of his A380 on its landing approach to Los Angeles. Hundreds of intrusions by drones into planes' air space have been reported around the world in the past few years, but this one was close. Dianne Feinstein, a senator who has sponsored a drone-safety bill, called the incident “reckless”.
德国汉莎航空公司(Lufthansa)一架客机飞行员报告称,当他驾驶A380客机在洛杉矶降落时,一架无人机在距离其不到61米的地方飞行。最近几年,世界各地出现了数以百计的无人机侵占飞机航道事件,但这次是近距离侵占。发起无人机安全法案的参议员——戴安·范斯坦(Dianne Feinstein)称这次事件是“鲁莽”行为。
Terry Bollea, a former wrestler better known as Hulk Hogan, pinned down Gawker, a celebrity-news blog, when he won an invasion-of-privacy case over part of a sex tape it had published. Mr Bollea was awarded $115m, more than he had claimed, by a jury in Florida; a further $25m was added for punitive damages. Gawker expressed confidence that it would win with a full submission on appeal.
前摔跤运动员特里·波利亚在高客(Gawker)发布性爱录像隐私侵犯案中胜诉,要求名人新闻博客公司高客传媒公开致歉。佛罗里达州陪审团裁决高客传媒赔偿波利亚1.15亿美元,远超过波利亚所提出的金额,此外还得支付2500万美金的惩罚性损害赔偿。不过高客表示已准备全面的上诉辩护意见,对赢得此案稳操胜券。
