Demand for products that help working moms deal with what is commonly referred to as the second shift - i.e., all the work they have to do after they get home from work - is projected to increase 4.3% annually to $8.9 billion in 2013, according to the Freedonia Group, a market-research company...

Despite the global recession, Arab states have signed huge deals for U.S. military hardware, whose sophistication has been on full display in two long wars in the neighborhood. Petraeus said countries in the region now deploy eight Patriot missile-interceptor batteries - up from zero a few years ago - made by Raytheon Corp.
