The LIBOR financial scandal gets the crime thriller treatment LIBOR stands for the London Interbank Offered Rate -- about as boring as any phrase could possibly sound, but it turns out that the LIBOR is often called "the world's most important number." It's the global benchmark used to price credit card debt, variable rate mortgages and virtually everything else in the world of finance.

And in recent months, people living on the streets have noticed a new tactic – business owners effectively occupying a portion of the sidewalk themselves.
