As it aims to vanquish Thomas Edison’s filament bulb—and save the earth—the CFL is running into the brick wall of human nature. But the CFL is getting a lift from two of the globe’s most powerful forces: image-conscious Western governments—and Wal-Mart. With its $346 billion in annual sales and 100 million customers, Wal-Mart is the carrot. In 2006, eager to improve its image as a low-wage emporium of Chinese imports, Wal-Mart pledged to sell 100 million CFLs this year....

One could blame exuberant investors for the swift rise and fall of ethanol. But the government probably bears more responsibility. Though macroeconomic factors have spurred the ethanol industry—declining domestic oil production, rising energy use in developed markets and a growing desire for so-called energy independence—government incentives have played a huge role in stimulating the ethanol boom. Of the many federal ethanol incentives, the most significant is a 51-cent-per-gallon tax credit given to refiners or blenders who mix ethanol with gasoline....

Distinctly less favorable? Subdued? It calls to mind Japanese Emperor Hirohito’s comment on Aug. 14, 1945, that “the war situation has developed not necessarily to Japan’s advantage.” In recent weeks, abundant evidence has pointed to a recession—a broadbased contraction of economic activity—from rising unemployment claims to the continued pain in housing. Wall Street economists, whose employers have been experiencing their own private recession since last summer, haven’t shrunk from using the R word....

Claudio Bravo has endured a torrid debut season in English football and was taken out of the firing line at the turn of the year having conceded six goals from six shots on target. Willy Caballero had proven a capable stand-in, though was caught out by a deflection after Eden Hazard strolled through the City midfield in the game at Chelsea earlier in April. Guardiola on Syria and Dortmund bombing...

Guardiola, 45, has a three-year contract at the Etihad Stadium but does not envision continuing in the same capacity far beyond that. Pep silent on Fernandinho red Widely regarded as one of the greatest coaches of all time, the Spaniard has won 22 trophies since starting out at Barcelona B in 2007. The Spaniard led Barca’s first team to a historic treble in 2008-09 and won three successive Bundesliga titles in as many years at Bayern Munich....

City are out of the top four following their defeat at Liverpool on Saturday and victory for Arsenal against Crystal Palace on Sunday. The Catalan insisted at the start of the season he would need time to adapt to the Premier League and get his players to fully understand his methods. Yaya Toure reveals Guardiola fury But when asked if he could put a timeframe on that progress, using Jurgen Klopp’s 14 months at Anfield as something of a barometer, Guardiola seemed no closer to a concrete answer....

Is Tevez pulling a Messi? Manchester City boss Guardiola has enjoyed a terrific start to life in England’s top flight, although suffered his first loss of the season on Sunday at the hands of Tottenham. Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino is also nominated for the award, having won all three league matches in September, while Wenger’s Arsenal also won its three games. The other nominations include Jurgen Klopp, whose Liverpool scored an impressive 13 goals in the league as the club recored three consecutive wins last month, and Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew....

Guardiola defends style: I want to win The Catalan won six league titles in seven seasons as a top-level manager in La Liga and the Bundesliga, but his Manchester City team has fallen seven points adrift of current Premier League leaders Chelsea this year. And Guardiola insists that those suggesting his trophy haul at his two previous clubs was largely down to the calibre of players he had to choose from are right....

Pep & Mou have more in common than ever City host their neighbours at the Etihad Stadium aiming to enhance their chances of finishing in the Premier League’s top four this season. Sitting in fourth place, Guardiola’s side occupy the final Champions League spot but sit just one point ahead of United with six games left to the campaign. Although United got the better of their rivals in the EFL Cup in October, they were beaten at home the previous month as Kevin De Bruyne and Kelechi Iheanacho fired City to a 2-1 victory....

City paid Benfica £35 million for the Brazilian this summer as they believe he has all the attributes to establish himself as No.1 following Claudio Bravo’s early struggles at the Etihad Stadium. City 15/8 to win the league The 23-year-old has the ability to launch a dead ball nearly 100 yards towards the opposition penalty area, and given players cannot be offside from goal kicks City are now able to open up new avenues of attack....

It has emerged that Atletico Madrid are keeping tabs on Aguero and are willing to re-sign him as a replacement for Antoine Griezmann, who looks set to join Barcelona ahead of next season. At the end of last season, Guardiola insisted, as a matter of fact, that the Argentine would not be leaving the club despite speculation to the contrary. Ahead of Sunday’s Premier League finale against Southampton, however, he could not be as certain, and once again stressed that it is Aguero who will decide when he leaves....

Signed from French second-tier side Lorient in the summer for around £7 million ($9.4m), little was expected of the 19-year-old yet he has started both of the Gunners’ Premier League fixtures, defeats against Manchester City and Chelsea. During these encounters, he has, however, been one of the most eye-catching players for his side and is expected to feature from the outset against West Ham. Even Emery did not dare to predict such a level of success so rapidly....

1: Begin by making moderate changes in your diet; if that’s not enough to lower your cholesterol level sufficiently, you can make progressively bigger changes until it does. 2: Eat less saturated fat, found predominantly in animal products such as red meat, butter and cream, and in tropical oils. 3: Cut back on trans-fatty acids, found in most fried foods and processed foods, such as cakes, cookies and snack foods....

Walt Disney World is usually visited by millions each year, who enjoy themed rides, shows, boat rides, animals, trains and merchandise. The official store sells everything inspired by their magical movies and characters. An adult T-shirt can cost anything from $19.99 to $79.99, but a few guests have revealed how they got one for free. Amanda DiMeo, who describes herself as a model online, shared a clip to TikTok showing off the pricey shirt she says she got for free—because her original outfit was too revealing....

How to Relieve Constipation Instead of buying an over-the-counter laxative to help with intermittent constipation, you should first try a high-fiber diet, increased fluid intake, and regular exercise, as well as practice proper bathroom hygiene. More specifically, you should use the bathroom when you feel the urge and refrain from “holding it in.” If these measures fail to work, you should meet with a physician to discuss laxative use, especially if you plan to take laxatives for more than a day or two....

In the final minutes of a 34-7 victory over Auburn, Gurley fell and hurt his knee. He will have surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. He no longer will be a Heisman Trophy hopeful and might not be a prospect for the 2015 NFL Draft. Several teams considered him a possible first-round pick. If Saturday was the end of his career, Gurley finished with a flourish....

The food show host is on the front lines handing out hot meals to first responders as firefighters say they’re making progress on the blaze. Fieri, along with KTVU’s Sal Castaneda, are part of a team of volunteers at the Lassen County Fairgrounds. The team is preparing and cooking meals at the base camp for crews, who have spent more than 40 days battling the fires. “There’s a lot of first responders who can’t make it to the base camp....

Guy Fieri, internet sensation, culinary evil genius and host of “Guy’s Grocery Games,” is back at it again, this time with a new abomination in conjunction with Chevrolet, just in time for a special baseball event this week. Fieri, long known for his over-the-top recipes (and shows [and hair]) is bringing a new concoction to the “Field of Dreams” matchup between the White Sox and Yankees on Thursday: The apple pie hot dog....

He hit singles. He didn't hit tape-measure home runs. He didn't flex for the camera. He didn't flip his bat. He showed up for work every day and hit singles. If that isn't the best microcosm for what's it's all about, then nothing is. Gwynn, who died Monday at the age of 54, hit 2,378 singles. That's a lot of trips around the first-base bag. Gwynn is perceived as strictly a batting average guy, but we live in the advanced age where that stat is not always appreciated....
