...they work? Not necessarily. Independent studies have concluded that most of these products--no matter who endorses them or how expensive they are--shape your midsection no better than old-fashioned stomach crunches. Some can even cause injury--like the $518.99 Body Shapers, which left electrical burns on some researchers at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. Others, like the popular Ab-Doer, typically burn fewer calories than a gentle walk, according to a study to be published in September by the American Council on Exercise...
...been incorporated into rehabilitation treatments for victims of brain and spinal-cord injuries. At the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond, Sandra Barker brings her own Lhasa apso to relax shock-therapy patients who are visibly trembling before treatment. In Texas, dogs are used to motivate children recovering in burn units and to calm residents in Alzheimer's wards...
...winter. Since 1999, the biologists have been attaching "pop-up tags" to great whites. These continually measure the shark's position, depth, speed and direction, and store the data in digital archives. After six months, the tiny computer in the tag sends an electric current through a magnesium burn wire, which dissolves in the seawater and allows the tag to pop up to the surface. The tag transmits a GPS locator signal, and when satellites get a fix on it, they upload all the archived data of the shark's movements. The distances are likely to be huge. A shark...
...stories have shared certain characteristics. To start with the crass and crucial point, they have almost all been cheap to cover. A TV news operation is not going to burn a lot of budget posting a correspondent and camera crew outside the Miami relatives' house, waiting to catch little Elian on the jungle gym. Minimal expenses are an important point at a time when the business of journalism has pretty much been absorbed (by acquisitions and mergers) into vast corporate organisms that tend to see journalism in terms of entertainment product and bottom line...
...better off. Not that we should necessarily blame Greenspan for failing to surgically remove the "cycle" from business cycle without touching the "business" - considering how hard we partied, this hangover really isn't so bad. But as hindsight-aided criticism mounts that Greenspan not only let the fire burn too hot during the boom but threw too much water on it when he decided to cool it off in May 2000, it's understandable if the Lord is feeling a little added pressure not to wind up his tenure looking like King Lear...
