...workout is not without critics. Miriam Nelson, director of the Center for Physical Activity and Nutrition at Tufts University, says Curves' use of hydraulic resistance rather than actual weights allows users to exercise only when lifting, not when lowering. Heavin concurs but says the resulting reduction in muscle gain is, for Curves' mostly novice clientele, more than offset by greater safety, because most muscle injuries occur during the lowering phase of weight-bearing exercise. He gleaned this fact from Jack Wilmore, professor of physiology at Texas...
...company's turnover went from close to $36 billion to a relatively anemic $12 billion a year. The cause was obvious: mobile-telephone operators spent $200 billion to buy the licenses for third-generation (3G) mobile-phone networks, but ran out of money to pay for the actual technology and dramatically scaled back orders.

He pledges to reduce capital expenditures - from $10.78 billion...
...above is just a hypothetical scenario—any resemblance to actual people or events being, of course, entirely coincidental. I offer it to help you relate to someone who found himself in a similar situation, and didn’t have the strength to resist...
...Fears of terrorism and disease have already pummeled world economies, but, at least for the moment, the damage wrought by these threats comes more from their attendant uncertainties than their direct affects. So what might bring about actual instability? The endless winter in the northeast, for instance, may be a signal that an abrupt change in climate lies right around the corner. If so, large parts of the world might face ice age - that's right, ice age - conditions with virtually incalculable consequences for agriculture and travel, much less ordinary commerce...
...they urge patience, coalition leaders are also dampening public expectations of "smoking gun" finds. The weapons were moved or perhaps destroyed ahead of the invasion, some say. Key evidence may have been removed and destroyed under cover of looting. Another official warns that coalition forces are unlikely to find actual weapons, but more likely the means to assemble such weapons...
