...more frugal world, it's all about getting more bang for the buck. Consider Puaramita Acharji, a West Bengali woman who joined Unilever's Shakti program several years ago and now earns about $14 a month selling items in her village door-to-door. Small as that sum might be, Acharji says it has changed her life. Instead of being dependent on her husband, Acharji says, she now commands respect in the village. "It is enough to stand on my own two feet," she says. Increasingly, CSR programs will have to do the same...

Almost all sophomores live in miniscule doubles, and residents are sometimes forced to squeeze into double bedrooms even during their senior year. But with common rooms in every suite, Winthrop lodging is ideal for forced socialization. Plus, humans bond over trauma, and if murdering a six-inch cockroach in your bedroom isn?...
...members finalize the budget resolution this week, many members have warned that they would oppose ramming the legislation through the budget process. Obama has set aside $656 billion in the budget for his energy and climate-change plans. Depending on how the bill is written, it could leave the door open to include the whole program in the fiscal 2010 budget, a highly unusual move that would strip the bill from the usual committees of jurisdiction and give the program immunity from filibusters in the Senate.
