...small-business owner, Freeborough has already felt the pinch of a tightened credit market. She'd like to expand her service department from four bays to 10. But her lender was a tad leery a few months ago about extending her credit. "I had so much else going on at that time, I held off," she says. "Now I'm thinking I should have just done it then. I am worried I won't be able to get a loan for it, and that will pull my business back." She says that even if car sales slump further, people still...

And Gmail users get instantly notified when new messages arrive...

"The difference here is, you know, he's got a few other things going," Obama's top strategist David Axelrod told reporters Wednesday on Obama's flight into Denver. "It's hard to find the quality time to do this." The first draft wasn't finished until last week, and as of Wednesday his staff couldn't say how long the speech was running or when it might be finished. The looming deadline has led to a lot of late nights and bleary...
