Some believe that both the climate failure and its human effects will be minimal. But the climate meltdown we are provoking is self-amplifying, like an atomic chain reaction. If we fail to take drastic action by the time our children graduate from college, the United Nations Environmental Program has predicted that the melting of the glaciers and ice sheets, the stabilizers of our current climate, will be nigh unstoppable. The resulting rise in sea level could directly threaten over 100 million people by the end of the century, and the disruption to current weather and flooding patterns all over...
Suzuki is exactly the type of customer the chain, based in Seattle, is counting on as it makes bolder--and potentially riskier--moves to add more music to its mix of high-margin macchiato and muffin sales. Besides hawking regular CDs and allying with XM Satellite Radio and other ventures, Starbucks has begun installing "media bars" in cafés in which customers can download songs and burn customized discs. So far, 45 stores in Seattle and Austin, Texas, have the units, and Starbucks plans to announce more by year's end. "[Music] is a big component of our overall strategy...
...scandal started out as a CEO's worst nightmare. Three months ago, a Nevada woman named Anna Ayala claimed to have found a severed finger in a bowl of chili she ordered at a Wendy's restaurant in San Jose, Calif.

Then things took an even more bizarre twist. Authorities in San Jose turned their attention to Ayala, alleging that she fabricated the story...
...keep growing, fast-food chains have to offer new reasons for people to come into the store. That's what Wendy's has always done best. It will have a chance to prove itself again later this year when it unveils its Frescata cold sandwiches. The Frescata line uses high-quality meat and focaccia bread developed with the artisanal bakery La Brea. Wendy's has a financial relationship with La Brea through the Canadian company Tim Hortons, a coffee and bakery chain that Wendy's bought in 1995. That's one reason Schuessler plans to hold onto Tim's, despite...
Wendy's is also using the Tim's expertise in baked goods to experiment with breakfast, a category the chain hasn't touched for 20 years. Its first try was a disaster. "It was expensive, and it wasn't portable," Schuessler says. Since that experience left such a bad taste, Meyer says, Wendy's will move cautiously here. The first breakfast items will appear, at the earliest...
