Chukumba thinks Pier 1 has enough cash and a small enough debt load to weather this recession for a couple of years at best. "But if things get worse real fast or the recession lasts for even a longer period of time, I have to call Pier 1's viability into question," he says...
...After the end of the Cold War, many military procurement projects found themselves on the Congressional chopping block. The A-12 Avenger II—an all-weather, carrier-based strike bomber that suffered from massive cost overruns—was cancelled in 1991. Similarly, the XM2001 Crusader, a new howitzer that promised both mobility and accuracy but delivered neither, was struck from the list in 2002. But unlike these projects—which were real Cold War dinosaurs—the Raptor has proven itself to be a highly effective and necessary part of the Air Force?...
...where are you investing now? We were in defensive stocks all last year, and that's still the bulk of our portfolio.

...with Indian scientists from January to April 2006 to determine that two-thirds of the cloud's soot particles come from biomass combustion like household cooking and slash-and-burn agriculture. The researchers confirmed that the layer of haze - which many have blamed for the world's increasingly extreme weather patterns - makes rain both more rare during the dry season and more intense during monsoons. And in South Asia, the cloud's net effect on climate change, says the study, rivals that of carbon dioxide...
...despite short-term forecasts that could leave their balance sheets a sea of red, the general mood in Abu Dhabi was as sunny as the weather. That's because in the long term, developers of renewables know they'll win. Climate change aside, the simple fact that energy demand will continue growing rapidly once the downturn has ended means that new supplies will be needed. And no one - including oil giants of the Middle East - believe that fossil fuels alone will meet that gap. "This is absolutely going to scale big," says Frank Mastiaux, the CEO of the E.ON...
