...rent dozens of retail locations in big cities and hire staff to demonstrate products. Getting the launch of Windows 7, which is the financial future of the company, done right is a perfect reason to open as many stores to demonstrate the new software as is possible. It allows Redmond the chance to put the new Windows in front of people in a controlled environment with biased experts taking customers through features...
Another problem is land invasions by local farmers who chop down cacao to plant faster-yielding banana trees. "They destroy the forest forever," Rosenberg complains, pointing to a hole in one of his plantation's barbed-wire fences. Jorge Redmond, president of Chocolates El Rey, a Venezuelan company that has been processing premium cacao since 1929, says El Rey saw almost 865 acres (350 hectares) decimated recently when 40 families invaded.

It's not that Inslee was worried about getting re-elected; he won 64% of the vote in the August primary and is expected to easily win a sixth term representing the First District, which includes well-to-do Seattle suburbs and the high-tech enclave of Redmond, home to Microsoft - an area full of people whose 401(k)s and stock holdings would likely benefit from a bailout. Inslee says that he simply felt the bill was being rushed. He describes the situation as the Bush Administration declaring, "Give me $700 billion in unmarked bills...
