...FINDING THE RIGHT combination of spark, fuse and black powder will fall to Lawrence Summers and Timothy Geithner, two friends Obama named to lead his economic team. Geithner, 47, will leave his job as chief of the New York Federal Reserve to become Treasury Secretary. His mentor Summers, 54, who was Treasury boss for a year and a half under Bill Clinton, will move into the West Wing in January to take over the National Economic Council (NEC), the clearinghouse for all economic policy inside the Administration...

...Tree Foot Powder and Spray For intense reekage (of my Adidas gym shoes, for instance, which have been properly funktified after many a sockless summer) opt for a product with tea tree oil, a natural antiseptic. Thursday Plantation - which is based in Australia, home to the Melaleuca plant from which tea tree oil is derived - has a collection of antifungal products, including a deodorizing, talc-free foot powder, as well as a spray. Powders are messy but necessary for serious offenses; the spray is a better alternative for less heinous stink, whether it's from shoes or feet. The products...
...died and more than 60,000 were sickened from formula tainted with melamine, a chemical used in plastics that can make the protein content of milk - and many other food products - appear higher, and, when consumed, can also cause kidney failure. Expanded inspections found traces of melamine in milk powder from 22 of the country's 109 producers. The substance also showed up in whole milk and dairy products ranging from White Rabbit candies to chocolate used in sex toys...
