...coming at $6 per gallon. Can't someone develop a safe, light, super-green SUV? It's certainly possible. But it wouldn't be a car accessible to many people. Take Chevy's Tahoe Hybrid, for example. This truck contains cutting-edge technology. But [here's] the bottom line for this hybrid SUV: 21 m.p.g. at a cost of $50,000. Those aren't stats that come close to practical. When gas reaches $6 per gallon, Americans will take the path of least resistance - and that means driving smaller cars and moving to more walkable places. (See the 50 worst...

...better that stuff will get more expensive? Won't the demise of Wal-Mart kick out of the middle class those who are now clinging to its bottom rung? Only if you define middle class as being able to buy a ton of peripheral stuff for next to nothing.

...disturbing as those incidents are, the more widespread concern about the newfangled hospitals is money. Although there is not ample hard data yet available to prove that specialty hospitals take a large bite out of community hospitals' bottom lines, a quick scan of the list of the common procedures performed at the highly focused institutions suggests just that. Orthopedic and cardiac care bring in some of the highest margin reimbursements from insurers, money community hospitals use to cover the cost of low-margin or money-losing services like burn units, neonatal care and treating the uninsured. When healthier, fully insured...

...twice about bending to the threats of blowing New Fabris sky-high. That violent ultimatum is only the most recent in a series of escalating acts of intimidation by French workers facing layoffs. Last April, French fishermen furious over the effect European Union fish quotas were having on their bottom line blocked traffic in and out of North Atlantic ports for two days until they were promised state aid. Recently, France has witnessed a series of so-called bossnappings, in which CEOs of firms are held hostage by employees until job-elimination numbers are reduced or severance payments increased.
