...this week--to the front lines to reinforce the two forces already in place. As it regroups on the ground, the U.S. plans to ratchet up the pressure from the air. Apache helicopters from the Army's 101st Airborne Division have begun attacking the Republican Guard's Medina division southwest of Baghdad. Warplanes and gunships will try to smash the three Republican Guard divisions arrayed south of Baghdad as U.S. and Kurdish forces pouring in from northern Iraq attack Iraqi troops on the northern edge of the city. As ground forces moved closer to Baghdad, the Army's AH64...
...ExxonMobil, ConocoPhilips--but parts of the transportation industry will benefit, especially truckers like Roadway and roadside lodging firms like Cendant, as travelers favor the road over the air. Avoid big airlines. Their cost structures require more business than they're likely to get anytime soon, and even JetBlue and Southwest will struggle.

Using information from a 14-year study that followed 14,000 children in southwest England from before birth, the team discovered that 84% of those who developed the allergy had been treated with creams containing peanut oil. They also found that children who had been fed milk from soybeans, which contain similar proteins, had a 2.6 times greater chance of becoming allergic. The Bristol group believes the reaction develops primarily in children with rashes or eczema, where the skin creams containing peanut oil enter the body through damaged skin...
