...three, it was the Clinton meeting that proved the best bet - and not just because of the Tastes of the World cocktail reception at the Sheraton on Thursday evening. As part of his Clinton Climate Initiative, launched in August 2006, the former President has brought together business and philanthropy to generate locally focused efforts to reduce energy use and carbon emissions. While President Bush offered mostly empty rhetoric, on Friday afternoon Clinton reeled off pledge after concrete pledge for his climate initiative: $150 million to harness geothermal energy in Africa, $5 million for the Alliance for Climate Protection...
...could say Chrysler has the red, white and blues. Despite spending nine years under German ownership, Chrysler remains the most American-focused of Detroit's Big Three automakers. The company - which was sold in August by Germany's Daimler to the private equity firm Cerberus for $7.4 billion - is more dependent upon the U.S. market than either General Motors or Ford. Only 8% of Chrysler cars are sold outside North America. While, in decades past, that may have been a sensible strategy, this concentration is increasingly a liability as U.S. market growth has slowed, and competition from imports is revving...
...Chrysler's global plans also include licensing production to local carmakers in some developing countries, which it says is the fastest way to introduce products in overseas markets.

...with a sermon renouncing pre-marital sex to search for a holy partner. She appeared to find one in a minister named Thomas Weeks III, wed him in a $1 million on-air ceremony, and together they went out to preach and teach the perfect Christian marriage. Then, in August she accused him of badly beating her in a parking lot (he has been charged, but claims he "walked away" from the confrontation), and said she planned to seek a divorce - and to become the "new face of domestic violence." A dramatic reversal of fortunes, certainly, but hardly the first...
...gunman on a motorcycle shot him in the head. On Sept. 13, Miami-Dade police Sgt. Jose Somohano died and three other officers were injured by an assailant armed with an AK-47, three years to the day after the expiration of the Federal Assault Weapons ban. On August 6, a motorcyclist shot Broward Sheriff's Det. Maury Hernandez in the head when pulled over during a routine traffic stop. Although Hernandez survived and is recovering in a local hospital, his colleague, BSO Sgt. Christopher Reyka, who was shot just four days later while checking on stolen cars...
