...down the road. Geithner is loathe to talk publicly about market behavior, but Treasury officials believe that a tightening of credit-market spreads shows an improvement in confidence. "Risk premia are receding in response to signs of stabilization," says an official familiar with Treasury's thinking. And the recent slight rise in interest rates demonstrates nothing except a market beginning to return to normalcy, not one getting spooked by fears of inflation. Consider that so-called TIPS - inflation-protected bonds - yield 1.5% on the five-year bond and just 1.9% on the 10-year. No sign of incipient inflationary panic...

Despite the slight difference in records, co-captain Devon MacLaughlin is proud of the season her team produced. “We ended the season much better than...
...government's task is monumental. "It is as if, in the same country, both Saddam Hussein was toppled and the Berlin Wall fell," says Ahmed Naseer, a painter and dissident who lived in exile in Sri Lanka with Nasheed. It falls to the new President - a slight, erudite former journalist who peppers conversation with quotes from Dostoyevsky and Dante - to save the Maldives from sinking under the weight of its problems. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, an international body of scientists, forecasts that sea levels will rise an estimated 2 ft. (60 cm) this century, enough to inundate...
