...nationalist driven by the idea of a strong, self-reliant India. He gave the country its first steel plant, first hydroelectric plant, first textile mill, first shipping line, first cement factory, first science university, even its first world-class hotel. His successors - among them J.R.D. Tata, India's first pilot - created the first airline, first motor company, first bank and first chemical plant. But after independence in 1947, the group came to symbolize all that was bad about Indian business. It lost its airline and insurance arm to nationalization. To avoid giving up more to the Congress Party socialists...
...following evening, my wife and I were telling our friends about Tina Fey?s hilarious new NBC sitcom, 30 Rock, but found we couldn?t do it justice. I suddenly realized that I could simply stream the pilot episode, via laptop, from my cable box at home. We gathered around the dining room table, and I launched the SlingPlayer, which produced a virtual remote control identical to the one sitting on my coffee table back home.

...move frequent travelers through immigration lines more quickly. Mocny confirmed that DHS had chosen the radio transmitter technology, called RFID, for use in the new cards. Separate lanes will be set up at land border crossings for cardholders who have gone through a voluntary pre-screening process. Similar pilot programs have already issued around 200,000 RFID-embedded cards to frequent travelers along the Mexican and Canadian border, but DHS officials are designing the PASS card program for tens of millions of eligible Americans...
...made of wide webbing and padded where they rest on your shoulder or in your hand. The telescoping handle on wheeled bags should be well protected when collapsed. A favorite of frequent flyers is the Travelpro Crew5 series (on sale for $160-$300), which was created by an airline pilot, and is often used by flight crews. Travelpro Crew5's exterior is microballistic nylon that is Teflon coated and stain resistant. As a bonus, the wheels can be replaced, so you don't have to ditch the whole bag if one wheel breaks...
