Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew approaches his third NFL season with the same mindset he brought to his first two — he wants to be the starter.

These are inspired by some chips I ate in George Calombaris’s Melbourne-based restaurant, Jimmy Grants, when I was in Australia judging on MasterChef. I’d heard great things, but my high expectations were still exceeded. Eat these chips as they are, as a side to some fish or meat and with a simple salad, or with […]
National Australia Bank Ltd (NAB.AX), the country’s third-largest lender, said on Tuesday it was in talks with Citigroup Inc (C.N) to potentially buy the U.S. bank’s Australian consumer business.
