WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama is sending a blunt message to Detroit automakers: To survive -- and win more government help -- they must remake themselves top to bottom.
Driving home the point, the White House ousted the General Motors chairman as it rejected GM and Chrysler's restructuring plans.

Can free music and profits coexist?
Sarah Sidwell, a 19-year-old freshman at Belmont University, loves listening to music but doesn't buy it that often. Instead, she listens to top artists on Pandora, a free online radio station that she customizes to play her favorite songs.
It's a phenomenon adding to the overall decline in music buying and even the legal and illegal downloading of tunes, according to New York-based NPD Group, a research firm. Instead of buying music, many consumers stream it online without ever opening their wallets to pay artists or record labels for their work.

Buoyed by a solid sales performance in a down year for many other retailers, Dollar General plans to add as many as 450 new stores in the year ahead and renovate others to build on its $10.5 billion in annual sales.

Dreiling made the comments after Dollar General reported annual and fourth-quarter gains in same-store and total sales as well as profits.

Anita Hare thought she was playing it smart when she took advantage of a low introductory interest rate on her Chase credit card to buy a Harley-Davidson motorcycle last spring. For four months, the 46-year-old from Baltimore County said, she paid her bill on time at a rate of 3.99 percent. Then she missed one payment by a few days and her rate shot up to 28 percent, she said. The higher rate has pushed her balance above the original cost of the Harley.

The automaker conceived the idea for the new Camaro more than three years ago, and first showed a concept version at the 2006 Detroit auto show at a time when auto sales were still booming and sporty vehicles such as the new, retro-styled Ford Mustang were favorites among empty-nesters with plenty of disposable income.
