...Paul Blart, who works the security detail at a West Orange, N.J., mall, doesn't even seem to be internalizing the expected rage. A single dad whose hypoglycemia has disqualified him from the police force, he endures the insults of a pen salesman (Stephen Rannazzisi) and the polite indifference of Amy (Jayma Mays), the cute gal at the hair-extensions booth, without troubling to seethe. He motors around on his Segway - riding it is the one thing at which he's an ace - smiling at Amy, shrugging off the rest of the world. Either Paul is conditioned by decades...
...bless us each in turn and then solicit a “donation” for the temple charity with the same book full of past 1,000 rupee and 500 rupee donations. Perhaps I’m cold-hearted, but based on the various forms of used car salesman pressure applied I feel confident in my skepticism of this “charitable” endeavor: I was stopped from approaching my friend while he was blessed lest I wisen him to our first encounter of this scam, I was asked when I offered only 50 why I couldn?...

At this sprawling dealership in suburban Kansas City, the biggest problem facing auto salesmen is squeamish buyers spooked by too much talk about bailouts and bankruptcies. "Our problem is getting them in the door," Sullivan said of his nervous customers. So Friday's announced $13 billion rescue package for GM and Chrysler...
...force behind Kuzumaki's programs is Tetsuo Nakamura, the town's mayor from 1999 until August of last year. Nakamura, a veterinarian and farmer with the handshake of a salesman, decided nearly a decade ago that Kuzumaki could become a role model for the rest of the country by developing itself as an exemplar of environmental best practices. "It was clear to me that the environment and food would be critical issues in the 21st century," says Nakamura. So he set about working with, and getting funding from, the government, NEDO, and Tohoku Denryoku, a Japanese power generation company...
