...Anyway, thanks for writing, Barack. Always good to hear from you U.S. Presidents, even if you do always say the same thing...
...total of 350,000 cars will be exported from India this year, 30% more than were exported in 2008. As factory output grows, India's economy as a whole will get a boost, says Abdul Majeed, who heads the auto practice at PricewaterhouseCoopers in Chennai.

Yemen's economy is in tatters; its population complains of neglect and development woes; and Yemeni children suffer from a 50% malnutrition rate. Observers warn that poverty and unemployment are prime recruitment factors for al-Qaeda, something they say the U.S. government and other foreign powers should have done more to address. "If you're going to carry out [an attack] like this, you have to have done a great deal of field work, where you've sort of undermined al-Qaeda through development and aid so that when something...
