THE very idea that
unions would endorse
legalising illegal immigrants,
as the country´s
two big labour federations
did this month, strikes
some as absurd.
Americans have a hard
enough time competing
with cheap foreign labour.
WANT to live to 100 or
beyond? Be very outgoing
and know how to manage
your stress.
A new study found that those were
the traits found in the children of
people who lived to 100, and longevity
is thought to run in families.

Oil prices languished near $46 a barrel on Tuesday after renewed doubts about the health of US banks sent crude and stock markets tumbling. Benchmark crude for May delivery was up 5 cents to $45.93 a barrel by midday in Europe in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. After trading near $50 a barrel so far this month, oil prices plunged $4.45 on Monday to settle at $45.88, following a broad sell-off of stocks. "Oil fundamentals are not tight enough to carry crude above $55 a barrel.
The Obama administration will make about $500 million available to Chrysler LLC through the end of this month as it seeks to reach an alliance with Fiat, and up to $5 billion through May to help General Motors Corp restructure outside of bankruptcy, an independent oversight report on the Treasury Department´s corporate rescue fund said on Tuesday. Separately, the United Auto Workers (UAW) union urged its members to lobby the White House by phone or email.
As this year´s wedding season approaches, you may be finding fewer invitations filling up your mailbox. But don´t worry; it´s probably not because you´ve been a bad friend. The $60 billion-a-year wedding industry is hurting as much as the rest of the economy, according to a recent Bloomberg article. And with couples spending an average of 24% less on tying the knot than in 2007, they are scaling back on everything from the number of guests to meal selections to flowers.
Phil Mickelson may have failed to win his third Masters at Augusta National last week but he did wonders for his confidence in bettering Tiger Woods and hugely boosted his image with the American public. The final round dream pairing lived up to all the hype as the two best golfers in the world brilliantly hacked away at a seven-shot deficit before falling at the last hurdle and there was no doubt it was the 38-year-old lefthander who was the inspiration.
Ray Allen and Ben Gordon can reminisce this offseason about their playoff shootout. For one of the former UConn guards, his team´s offseason will last longer than he´d like. Allen kept the Boston Celtics from coming dangerously close to being that team when he broke out of a slump to score 30 points, including the decisive 3-pointer with 2 seconds left. That gave the defending NBA champions a 118-115 win over the Bulls on Monday night and a split of the first two games of the best-ofseven series.
Hayden and Muttiah Muralitharan turned the clock back with a virtuoso performance as Chennai Super Kings thumped Banglaore Royal Challengers by 92 runs in an Indian Premier League match here Monday. Hayden struck a blistering 65 off 35 balls in Super Kings total of 179/5, the highest T20 score at St George´s Park here, before Muralitharan (3-11) weaved his magic to bowl out Royal Challengers for 87 in 15.2 overs. Royal Challengers had made a resoudning start to IPL-2 with a 75-run.
In the old days, runners carried no more than a stopwatch showing how long they had been running. Nowadays, though, there are wristborne, mini-computers that measure things like elevation gains, too. High-end running watches cost about 400 euros (532 dollars) and have up to 74 functions, noted Urs Weber, an editorial staffer at the Hamburg-based magazine Runner´s World. "In our experience, most runners use no more than 10, however," he said. Models priced under 100 euros.
Shoojit Sircar´s film on the life and songs of Kishore Kumar written by Rensil d´Silva might be on hold for now, but that hasn´t stopped Nagesh Kukunoor and Sudhir Mishra from planning their own movies on the legendary actor-singer. Mishra says making a Kishore Kumar biopic would be a ´dream come true´. "My favourite filmmaker and one of the primary influences on my life and career is Guru Dutt. However, a film on his life seems difficult if not impossible. Guru Dutt has already borrowed chapters...
Political satire is one of the most difficult of crafts, demanding well-informed practitioners and a responsive, sophisticated audience. Armando Iannucci´s In the Loop, an extension on to the international scene of his TV series The Thick of It, is one of the British cinema´s rare excursions into satire and one can be pretty sure that Snow (CP Snow, a pompous novelist, public intellectual and onetime Labour spokesman in the House of Lords).
