...shambles. In the wake of the earthquake, the region has rebounded in a dramatic fashion. Local and state authorities have worked with NGOs and relief organizations to rebuild the local area, and to fundamentally change its economic environment, attracting droves of new business by making Kutch a tax-free zone. Now, there are more jobs than people in Kutch, and every child can dream of holding a real government or corporate job, if only they go to school. Thus, no matter the unbearable heat, the demands of the farm at home, or the long distances, 140 kids are eager...
...yard. If Steve McNair's potentially game-tying pass in 2000 to Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kevin Dyson had just reached the end zone--and if the Titans had gone on to beat the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXIV--we'd be memorializing McNair, who was murdered at age 36 on July 4, as an NFL legend. Instead, we'll recall the quarterback, who was reared in small-town Mississippi and drafted out of tiny Alcorn State (Miss.)

Fish and seafood account for 37% of Iceland's exports, and employ 8% of the work force; even ardent Euro-enthusiasts are loath to see their prime natural resource fall under the sway of the E.U.'s controversial Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). But while Reykjavik cannot expect an exemption, it could negotiate special protocols to take account of the importance of the fishing sector to the nation...
...gallon, Kaufmann was laughing at his neighbors' wallet-withering $100 fuel bills for their SUVs, while he toddled about in his sporty Zenn, a low-speed neighborhood electric vehicle, or NEV, for next to nothing. Though NEVs can't legally go over 25 m.p.h. in a 35 m.p.h. zone, newer high-speed sedans, like the ones Nissan and Tesla will be launching, are highway-approved, crash-tested and able to hit 80 m.p.h. in seconds flat.
