...lots of Republican plans. I think that many of our members will want to be part of this plan," Representative Roy Blunt, a Missouri Republican in charge of the House Republican Health Care Solutions Group, said upon leaving Wednesday's press conference. "And there will be Republicans who sponsor this plan and who sponsor other plans that have slightly different ideas than this plan. On health care, we are truly the party that brings the ideas to the table that are much more innovative than the government taking over the health-care system...
...term revenue is typical in the sports business and crucial to spending during a downturn. Besides the broadcast deal, by far the world's biggest with a single sports club, Madrid has another season left in its three-year shirt-sponsorship contract with online betting company bwin, and kit sponsor Adidas is signed up until 2012.

A banker close to the Chinalco side of the deal said management there was "deeply disappointed" by some of the rhetoric used by opponents of the deal. In fact, this source says, Chinalco had in many respects "gone...
...money was being funneled in the first place. One of the biggest problems for disabled youth is connecting with their peers and being taught how to live independently; often, they lack opportunities to enjoy regular lives and interactions. The bulk of the existing funding goes toward helping support centers sponsor events like bowling trips and athletic contests to encourage fellowship and social time. Built into many of these events are crucial moments when children are placed in situations through which they must maneuver themselves. Something as simple as asking for directions or reading a map could make the difference between...
