Bush proposes logging in forests to curb Western wildfires
President Bush visits Oregon and California on a three day Western swing to raise funds for Republicans while promoting a plan to ease timber company access to fire prone national forests. The proposal aims to reduce wildfire risk by removing buildup of flammable material as environmentalists voice opposition. Wildfires scorch nearly six million acres across the West this summer.

Survey Finds Workers Happier Elsewhere as New England Lags
A nationwide survey by the Conference Board shows only 51 percent of 5,000 workers satisfied with their jobs, down from 59 percent in 1995. New England is lowest at 44 percent, while Rocky Mountain states lead at 57 percent after a drop from 63. The study notes dissatisfaction with promotion policies and wages, and cites higher work pressure and blurred lines between work and home due to email and mobile devices.
