...There is no "could" about it. Since most of the restructuring programs for the car companies are not in place now, and probably cannot be until the middle of the year, their losses in the first two quarters should not be terribly different than they were in the fourth quarter. Depending on which of the P&L lines financial analysts look at, it means that Detroit is going through as much as $9 billion a month.

Municipalities covered by newspapers that have sharply scaled-back newsrooms, such as the Newark Star-Ledger, may also see similar trends emerging, because the papers simply cannot cover as much local news as they had previously...

However, they cannot be simply transfered over to Afghanistan. IEDs in Afghanistan have been delivering bigger bangs (in a seven-month period in 2008, IED incidents increased from 50 to 154) and, says, Dean Lockwood of the think tank Forecast International, "while the up-armored Humvees have good protection, it is not enough for a large IED." Furthermore, the vehicles have to be lighter...
