Toyota more recalls

Toyota is recalling another 1.5 million cars from the Lexus and Avalon models because of problems that include break and fuel pump problems.  When i first saw this article on the NY Times website i thought it was just advertising an old article because of the problems that they had last year, which they clearly have no corrected.  The recalled cars are mostly coming from North America, but also include places like Japan and Australia.

Britain Unveils Military Budget Cuts

This article was about how Britain is making some major cuts in their military budget including cutting down the amoiunt of troops they deploy in times of war, and delaying its nuclear defenses research.  I found this story very interesting because i had never heard anything about it before and i was kind of surprised by some of the things they decided to cut on.  I was immediately drawn in by the title of the article "Britain Unveils Military Budget Cuts" because it made me want to read about what exactly they were cutting and why.
