That's not exactly a formula for making or keeping friends. "You say no most of the time and let the President say yes," says Erskine Bowles, who held the chief of staff job and worked alongside Emanuel in the Clinton White House. "Rahm will always have the backbone to say no." But just as crucial is making sure that once he does, the bickering...
...shovel-ready - meaning they've completed their environmental-impact studies, the engineering and design plans have been approved and certified, and in the case of roads, the rights of way have been acquired. The projects are all outside the regular transportation process. Most transportation infrastructure is financed through a formula - usually an 80%-20% split between the federal and state governments.

Earlier studies have shown that about 1% of a baby's total third-trimester fatty-acid intake comes from omega-3s, but by comparison, only about 0.2% to 0.35% of the total fatty acids in breast milk and infant formulas come from omega-3s. So, it makes sense that supplementing preemies' diets with...
