...terms of paying for the packages, the president offered two major plans. The first was to increase taxes on those who make more than $250,000 a year. The second was to cut spending in Iraq. The two challenges to the success of those tactics depend on how many U.S. citizens who are rich become poor due to the recession and how much military effort will have to be switched to Afghanistan. It would be premature to make a forecast about either...
...carb, high protein - there's a diet plan of every flavor. And if you're one of the millions of Americans who struggle with weight, you've probably tried them all, likely with little success. That wouldn't surprise Dr. Frank Sacks, a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health and lead author of a new study published in the Feb. 26 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, whose findings confirm what a growing body of weight-loss evidence has already suggested: one diet is no better than the next when it comes to weight loss...
...global financial crisis has changed everything for one of the flagships of India Inc. Within the space of a year, Tata Motors has gone from being a developing-world success story to a cautionary tale of bad timing and overly ambitious expansion plans.

According to local lore, it was after his brother was killed in a U.S. missile strike on the village of Damadola...
...driving them out, then looting their abandoned homes. As Swat's notables and lawmakers fled, young, unemployed men suddenly found status as local commanders with large salaries from Fazlullah's mysteriously deep pockets. (Conspiracy theories abound as to the source of his largesse.) But the key to his success, say local observers, was Fazlullah's ability to exploit local resentment at the failings of Pakistan's venal judicial system, in which complainants routinely found justice deferred or denied...
