...called for opening new territory to fossil-fuel exploration, while environmentalists have opposed it on the grounds that nature must be protected. "We need to move beyond the tired debates of the left and the right, between business leaders and environmentalists, between those who would claim drilling is a cure-all and those who claim it has no place," Obama said in a speech at Andrews Air Force Base in Washington. "This issue is just too important to allow our progress to languish while we fight the same old battles over and over again...
...Green jobs are hardly the economic cure-all they are often made out to be. They currently account for only about 0.5% of the U.S. workforce, and plenty of the industry's job growth is likely to happen overseas. China is already the world's largest manufacturer of solar panels. But the model provided by green-energy players is the right one: create new products and new markets, and watch new jobs flow. Without the personal computer, we wouldn't have Google and its 20,000 employees. Without everyday low-cost pricing, we wouldn't have Walmart...
...program will be no cure-all for the Pentagon, whose networks are hacked hundreds of times a day.

He's searching for a divine lyre that could cure him. Evangeline, meanwhile, turns out to be from a family of angelologists, a secret order devoted to studying angels and opposing the Nephilim...
...debt-provoked currency plunge won't be a miracle cure for the economic ills of all euro-zone exporters. Lafaure, for example, notes that while his euro costs in research and development greatly affect sales price, his company is partly protected by having production sites in dollar-zone countries in Asia - providing a pricing hedge when the euro is too high. Multinationals with affiliates in the dollar zone have benefited from the weaker dollar over the past few years. German electronics giant Siemens, for example, generated nearly 45% of its revenue in 2009 in the dollar region. "The bigger...
