...bankruptcy, along with Chrysler's, will certainly help drive down the U.S. market share of the Big Three and open the door further to nimble and more well-funded competitors, including Toyota (TM), Honda (HMC), Nissan and Hyundai. It would be surprising if Detroit has only a 30% share of the U.S. car market by the time vehicle sales recover even modestly, probably in 2011. (See pictures of Detroit's decline...
...addition to the 15-year-old NIOSH study, a 2008 report by the American Heart Association (AHA) concluded that compared with other men, retired players were more likely to have high cholesterol and impaired fasting glucose despite significantly lower rates of diabetes and hypertension. Although "remaining physically active may help protect against many of the health risks of large body size in former competitive football players," said Dr. Alice Chang, lead author of the AHA study and an assistant professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, in a statement at the time the findings were released, "being...
...After Latinos helped make Barack Obama the U.S.'s first black President by giving him a remarkable 67% of their vote and Obama seemingly returned the favor by selecting (pending her Senate confirmation) the first Latino Supreme Court Justice, decades of friction between the two groups seem to be melting like asphalt on a hot summer day in Sotomayor's native Bronx.

"There is a much greater sense of solidarity now between...
Time, after all, is what the party needs if it has any hope whatsoever of uncovering some kind of silver bullet - buried somewhere in the 17 years of Sotomayor's federal judicial writings - that could help sink her nomination. Challenging a candidate first nominated to the bench by President George H.W. Bush and twice confirmed by the Senate, after all, would be hard enough. But at a time when the party has already alienated Hispanic voters, the GOP knows it has to tread very carefully in dealing with the first Hispanic candidate for the nation's highest court, especially...
...nomination of Sotomayor comes at a bad time for the GOP. Republicans have only just begun the long process of wooing Latinos burned by the 2005-06 immigration battles. Obama won 67% of Latino votes, vs. John McCain's 31% - enough to help Obama win Florida, New Mexico and Colorado. Hispanics had actually been somewhat disappointed in Obama's Latino-lite Cabinet and his unwillingness to take on immigration reform as a top issue in his first 100 days. But that will probably be forgotten now. The Hispanic community was "thrilled" by Obama's pick of Sotomayor, said David...
