"Beijing, China (CNN) -- China and the United States, the largest producers of greenhouse gases, will team up to fight climate change and create clean energy, their leaders said Tuesday. Chinese President Hu Jintao and President Obama said their nations will cooperate to advance technologies and work toward a global agreement on reducing carbon emissions. "As the two largest consumers and producers of energy, there can be no solution to this challenge without the efforts of both China and the United States," Obama said. "That is why we've agreed to a series of important new initiatives in this area.""

But none of that matters to Wall Street. This is turning into the Bob Marley "Three Little Birds" rally."Don't worry about a thing, 'Cause every little thing gonna be all right.""

"The family physician, who has a solo practice in Uniontown, Ohio, doesn't offer that shot because he can't afford it. Most insurers won't sufficiently cover the cost. "It doesn't do me any good. I am losing money on [them]," he said. The chicken pox vaccine runs about $115, but insurers only cover between $68 to $83 of that."

Honestly, Twitter and FriendFeed are the best of the "lifestreaming" services. I suppose Facebook gets lumped in there at some point. Obviously, I prefer FriendFeed since it offers a richer experience overall. Comment threading, multimedia attachments, groups, real-time updates, hashtags, likes, etc all make it much more fun than something like Twitter, IMO.
