That means even though high-cost oil seems here to stay, governments still need to act to send long-term signals to alternative energy investors. Price matters less than certainty, knowledge that an outlay in clean power will still be worthwhile 5, 10 or 15 years down the road. That could take the form of a carbon tax that sets a floor on oil prices, a cap-and-trade system that could do virtually the same thing or mandated standards that require the use of less carbon-intensive fuels. (California attempted to go the last route, mandating steep reductions...
...that Moore developed out of sketches of a child nursing at a woman's breast. Compare it to the grotesque exaggerations of Picasso's 1928 Bather (Metamorphosis 1), a work that Moore knew and which Composition appears to draw from, and you can see the road not taken. It's not that the sources for Moore's sculptural forms were always gentle and benign. Anything but. They could often be traced back to his service in World War I, to a world of dismembered limbs, warrior helmets and bone fragments. But at heart he was a conciliator. He refashioned...
Bijapurkar roughly divides Indian consumers into four categories by their income and consumption patterns - 60 million people with high purchasing power, 100 million well on the road to that level of consumption, 100 to 150 million who have just started that journey, and the rest who are at the "bottom of the pyramid" or BOP, in Bijapurkar's shorthand.

Indeed, Bijapurkar says, the vast majority of Indian consumers may have...
...Such a take-no-prisoners religious politics may be pitch-perfect for the Republican primary, with its heavy tilt toward evangelicals. Eventually, however, Huckabee will have to appeal more broadly to moderates, either down the road in the primary or in a general election. This will be a challenge because, unlike any leading candidate in modern U.S. presidential history, Huckabee has a persona rooted in a history as an ordained minister. This part of Huckabee's narrative lends credibility to his religious politics. But it also puts many - including journalists now paying close attention - on high alert for potential religious...
...been among its most prominent victims. At least 13 musicians have been killed - gunned down, burned or suffocated to death - since June 2006. The violence gained international attention earlier this month when three entertainers were killed in a week: a male singer was kidnapped, throttled and dumped on a road; a trumpeter was found with a bag on his head; and a female singer was shot dead in her hospital bed. (She was being treated for bullet wounds from an earlier shooting...
