...insurance market are not very strict. Insurers are free to set whatever rates they want, so long as they spend 70% of premiums paying claims, a threshold that's lower, for example, than those in Washington, New York and New Jersey. California is also what's known as a "file and use state," meaning insurers can increase rates in the individual market without state approval. The state can later act to rein in rates or revoke an insurer's license, but this rarely happens. Most states, on the other hand, are "prior approval states," in which insurers need state permission...

As U.S. special envoy Richard Holbrooke told reporters in Washington, "There is nothing secret about their presence there...
...truly don't know how I feel about this. It might be genius. Maybe most users are more confused by Finders and File Explorers than I've realized. But I can't help thinking that if the iPad really wants to be a device that you might take on a business trip instead of the laptop, it's going to need a little more document-centrism. By a wide margin, the most disappointing element of the user interface, or UI, is the home screen, which is virtually unchanged from the original iPhone UI. (The iPad is far, far more than...
