...Because of these issues, muni bonds don't seem particularly cheap even though munis now yield more than Treasuries. Indeed, Gary Strumeyer, head of capital markets at Bank of New York Mellon, says munis are no longer in the same rock-solid category as Treasuries, so it's not even a fair comparison.

But, where legal, high-quality DVDs are either unavailable or have simply lost out to cheap, low-quality pirated ones, whatever little revenue may come in from the Web is worth it.

However, radically hiking the prices of any basic commodity would be a tough sell for any politician, especially in a turbulent democracy such as Mexico...
...emphasis for Indian scientists is on indigenous solutions. "We know we cannot count on high-quality feed and fodder," says Singhal. "No one will be able to afford it. What we have done instead is develop cheaper technologies and products." One example is urea-molasses-mineral blocks that are cheap, reduce methane emission by 20%, and also provide more nutrition, so they're easier to sell to illiterate farmers who don't know a thing about global warming but want higher milk yields...
