Question: Germany's Audi has abandoned plans to sell its Italian motorcycle brand Ducati  its chief executive Rupert Stadler said  in a sign of confidence that the carmaker expects to be able to carry the costs of its transformation.
Steps to reduce costs by 10 billion euros ($11.8 billion)  cut red tape and deepen ties with fellow Volkswagen-owned brand Porsche are "gradually increasing our financial and organizational leeway for the strategic realignment " chief executive  Rupert Stadler  told reporters.
There is  therefore  no economic need to sell Ducati   Stadler  said. Volkswagen asked banks to evaluate options for Ducati and transmissions maker Renk earlier this year as seeks to become more nimble in its shift towards electric and self-driving cars following its diesel emissions cheating scandal.
"I can assure you that Ducati belongs to the Audi family " said  Stadler . "Ducati is the perfect implementation of our premium philosophy in the world of motorbikes."
While pushing the costly shift to zero-emissions and autonomous technologies  holding on to the profitable Ducati division and the lucrative Lamborghini brand has become more important   Stadler  said.
"Looking after a premium bouquet is as difficult as the work of a gardener "  Stadler  said. "Therefore I am pleased with every new flower  with every promising new branch " he added  predicting Lamborghini's sales would double on the back of its new sport-utility vehicle.
Separately   Stadler  said Audi will spend nearly half a billion euros over the next eight years on training staff for the digital age  with steps to develop as well as hire experts such as automotive app-designers and car robotics specialists.

Question: Claire Smyth  former executive pastry chef at Honeyâs   said Honeyâs staff members were called into a meeting Jan. 9 and told by Furman that they âcould just no longer do it anymoreâ and that  as of that day  Honeyâs was done for business.
âI mean  itâs a little bit of a shock â  Smyth  said. âItâs really  really hard to let go of 30 people in January after Christmas  but I mean  itâs the industry.â
All staff members were given their final checks and sent home that day   she  said.  Smyth  remembers feeling fortunate because  she âd driven  her  own car that day  so  she  could take  her  things home.
âIt was very  very abrupt â  she  said.
 Smyth  had only been at Honeyâs for about a month  about the same time as executive chef Johnny Anderes. Anderes  formerly of Avec  Reno  Telegraph Wine Bar and The Kitchen  was brought on in December after chef Charles Welch and pastry chef Alison Cates left.
But  Smyth  said she wonders if predictions about the imminent restaurant crash in Chicago are true  citing the recently closed GreenRiver restaurant in Streeterville.
âI think there are too many restaurants in Chicago  and itâs hard to stay open when everyone is doing the same thing in the same area â  Smyth  said.
 Smyth  said she plans to take some time to herself before looking for a new job.

Answer: Claire Smyth


Question: The NFL is unforgiving  and every team’s misfortune creates an opportunity for someone else. Atlanta and Carolina’s inconsistencies this year have allowed a familiar division foe to become relevant again: the New Orleans Saints. After a spell of mediocrity that saw the Saints finish with a 7-9 record in each of the past three seasons  Sean Payton’s team appear to be on the rise  for now. The Saints have climbed to sixth in our NFL Rankings  with an Elo rating of 1589. At 4-2 and atop the NFC South  the Saints now have a 73 percent chance of making the playoffs and a 56 percent chance of winning the division — both of which are the best chances New Orleans has seen this season.
Though the readers registered a net loss of 14.2 points in Week 7 of our NFL prediction game — in which we invite readers to try to outsmart our Elo algorithm — they tied for their most successful week to date this season. The biggest net win of the week for readers  which also happens to be readers’ biggest net win of the season so far  came in the Saints’ 26-17 win on the road over the Packers. The readers took advantage of  Elo’s  inability to account for teams’ injuries in  its  predictions and selected a surging Saints team over an Aaron Rodgers-less Packers team  gaining 20.4 points over Elo on that game.
The other double-digit net win for the readers came in the Jacksonville Jaguars’ shutout victory over the Indianapolis Colts. That means the Jaguars continued to haunt Elo for another week: Our algorithm now has a 1-6 record when predicting the outcome of games involving the Jags (that’ll teach us for joking about Jacksonville every week).
It’s not too late to try your luck against Elo  so make sure you make your Week 8 predictions.

Answer:
Elo
