...every analyst is convinced that a $4,000 or $5,000 rebate would convince suddenly spendthrift U.S. consumers to buy a new car - especially the sort of customers who would own a clunker in the first place. "Either this program won't make them buy, or they're just poor," says Wolkonowicz. But a cash-for-clunkers deal with tough enough fuel standards would at least be a way to throw Detroit another lifeline without sinking the planet - even as Washington seeds longer-term demand for more-efficient vehicles. The key, like any used car contact, is to check...
...eliminate their targets, students have to either poke them with a cardboard carrot measuring at least 8 inches, or pour hot sauce or vinegar into their target’s food without their noticing (ouch!), according to an e-mail from the Leverett HoCo social chairs...

To risk victory in such a war by cancelling our most advanced weapons projects simply because there is currently a recession is both foolhardy and arrogant...
...many cases, work fanaticism is either an avoidance or cultivation of inadequacies in other, less structured, domains. Although students’ original dedication to work was likely based on an innate love of algebra, it is possible that this interest was also motivated by a somewhat diminished temptation for the frolics of youth.

...mind, the Obama Administration on Monday lifted restrictions on Cuban-American family visits and remittances to family members in Cuba. It also announced measures to get broader cell-phone and television service to Cubans, which White House officials said would "open the flow of information" on the island. Either way, many hope Monday's moves will eventually lead to a dismantling of the trade embargo. But the moves should at least be followed this year by an end to the travel ban for the rest of the U.S. population - that is, if Obama throws his support behind a new bill...
