Credit rating Industry wrote provision that undercuts credit-rating overhaul

Moody'sMoments before the Senate overwhelmingly passed a bill to overhaul the credit ratings industry seven years ago, Republican and Democratic sponsors took turns touting its promise for ending an entrenched oligopoly.

Japan says Fukushima leak worse than thought, government joins clean-up

Forty percent of the people who make less than $10/hour have some college education. Plenty of young lawyers and engineers work at Best Buy.
