...going to do it all over? Yes I am! I want to practice my new skills! I've learned so much. I think it will be a completely different experience. The first time, I was reluctant to ask for help because I thought that meant I was a failure. As a new mother everything you do is like, "Did I screw up? Am I a failure? I'm a failure, aren't I?" But I can ask for help better than anyone...
...automobile business is great. Just ask someone who's in it. "People want to buy cars," says Rod Buscher, CEO of Summit Automotive Partners in Denver, which owns 30 assorted dealerships nationwide.

...Just ask DHL. Bosses at the courier company's local depot halted deliveries in the area in 2005, for fear of drivers being set upon by local youths. (The firm has since resumed normal service.) On Stephenson Street, around the corner from the depot, houses thrown up in the time of Dickens have long since made way for barbed wire-laced industrial units, the grinding of saws behind closed doors drowning out the faint crackle of the power lines overhead. Inside a tiny corrugated iron shell, the air thick with the smell of fried eggs and sausage, Ahmet Yucetan...
