...have a chance to gain your footing,” Sen. Charles E. Schumer ’71, D-N.Y., told The Northwest Indiana Times yesterday. “Graduating from college should kick start a young person’s professional life, but massive debt will just bog you down for decades...
...days of the Iraq war might have seemed relatively simple to the Australian Special Air Service soldiers, who had been in the country for three weeks fighting Saddam Hussein's troops. But now the incident on the road from Baghdad to the Jordanian border on April 11, 2003, could bog the special forces in an ugly row. In August, international law expert Marc Henzelin filed a $1.5-million claim for compensation with the U.S. military for the alleged torture of two Iranian nationals, the suspected murder of a third Iranian and the theft of $360,000 by U.S. forces...
...seems to be gambling that the company can stay afloat via a series of tune-ups, ranging from having workers bear more health-care costs (annual savings: $3 billion) to eliminating weak models and launching redesigned SUVs and pickups next year--and praying that high gasoline prices don't bog down the plan.

But the spirit...
...idea isn't new. Five years ago, mobile operators started spending hundreds of billions of euros licensing and building 3G networks to deliver, among other things, video images. But it's turning out that heavy video usage can bog down a 3G network. "Broadcast is far more effective at mass mobile," says Screen Digest's Nolan. Users, of course, don't really care how the images are transmitted, but media and mobile companies do. Every bit of programming that travels over a broadcast network rather than a mobile network is lost revenue for the operators. In December, six of Korea...
