...Still, as the recession drags on, the odds are increasing that more of StanChart's borrowers will struggle to pay back their loans. The bank's nonperforming loans were up 30% in 2008 compared with the previous year. Even though some Asian economies, chiefly China and India, appear to have passed through the worst of the downturn, analysts still doubt StanChart can repeat 2008's performance this year.

...Earth and still harbors ice and perhaps liquid water. The moon is thought to have water locked in permafrost at its poles. Jupiter's moon Europa is probably home to a globe-girdling ocean beneath a thin rind of ice, and its Jovian sisters Callisto and Ganymede appear to be icy and wet too. Now, according to new findings by the Cassini spacecraft, one more name can be added to the list of water worlds: Enceladus, a small moon orbiting Saturn. What's more, Enceladus' water might be unusually hospitable to the emergence of life. (See the 50 highs...
