...reductions in tax rates on income, capital gains and corporate dividends that President Bush pushed through in 2001 and 2003 are due to expire in 2010. That could prove a tough blow for a still wobbly economy to weather, but it would help shrink the deficit over time...
...characters' ages, this one makes clear that Pororo is 4--putting him squarely in his viewership's developmental playgroup. And Pororo, like the kids who watch him, has a rich fantasy life. In this case, that means he dreams of flying--and wears an aviator hat and goggles to prove...
...sunburns that blistered McCain's skin as a child may prove far more of a threat to his longevity than his time as a prisoner.

It obliges farmers to separate natural and GMO cultivation, and sets permitted limits of GMO "contamination" to surrounding plots; requires public disclosure of where GMO crops are located; and make the destruction of GMO crops by protesters - an act for which Bové has been repeatedly arrested...
