Yahoo Deal for Tumblr Won't Move Internet Giant's Needle

By Jessica E. Lessin
online.wsj.com — The Valley: When Yahoo CEO Mayer announced that the Internet giant would spend $1.1 billion to acquire blogging site Tumblr, she promised not to screw it up. Maybe the young chief should have instead emphasized what the six-year-old fledging startup can do for Yahoo. The answer appears to be not much.

IMF Examines Planned Sovereign Defaults

By Matina Stevis
blogs.wsj.com — The International Monetary Fund launched a mea culpa operation a few months ago as it sought to clean up its reputation and record the "lessons learned" from its involvement in the euro-zone crisis. The process started with a research paper on so-called fiscal multipliers, which measure the effects of cuts in public spending on a country's gross domestic product.

Strassel: Conservatives Became Targets in 2008

online.wsj.com — The White House insists President Obama is "outraged" by the "inappropriate" targeting and harassment of conservative groups. If true, it's a remarkable turnaround for a man who helped pioneer those tactics. On Aug. 21, 2008, the conservative American Issues Project ran an ad highlighting ties between candidate Obama and Bill Ayers, formerly of the Weather Underground.

The Exercise Equivalent of a Cheeseburger?

online.wsj.com — Over the last few months, during the endurance-athletics offseason, something extraordinary happened: The line began to blur between the health effects of running marathons and eating cheeseburgers. "I'm not worried," says veteran running coach Mark Sullivan, who has run more than 150 marathons, joking that "there are guys who live to be 100 smoking cigarettes and eating cheeseburgers."
