...Felipe Calderón was quick to reject any negotiation with the gangs and ordered a troop surge in Michoacan to 5,500 police and soldiers to fight La Familia. "The federal government does not ever dialogue, does not negotiate, does not reach deals with any criminal organization," Interior Secretary Fernando Gomez Mont said. "The criminal groups that the Mexican government are fighting are made up of criminal cowards without scruples. They try to mask or justify their acts with all sorts of justifications...
...Terrain are replacements for older GM models that have failed to dislodge the competition in growing market segments. The SRX, for example, is aimed at a segment virtually invented by Lexus with vehicles such as the highly popular RX330. It offers a contemporary exterior design, a well-appointed interior and improved fuel economy that GM hopes will give buyers sitting on the fence ample reason to select it over a competitor.

After shopping, I'll reward myself with a good French Bordeaux at a new wine bar in Ixelles, Le Petit Canon...
...down. U.N. sanctions on diamond and timber exports have been lifted. Liberia is attracting foreign investment in iron ore, timber, palm oil and construction. Though steel giant Arcelor Mittal recently mothballed a $1.5 billion project to reopen an iron-ore mine and rebuild a railway in the eastern interior, Liberia has signed a deal with Sime Darby of Malaysia for an $800 million, 20-year concession to a 494,000-acre (200,000 hectare) combined palm-oil and rubber plantation. Earlier this year, the IMF and World Bank canceled Liberia's $4.7-billion foreign debt. "I'm not saying Liberia...
