...make it more navigable." One of the most noticeable changes is that Project Impact stores reshape Action Alley, the aisles where promotional items were pulled off the shelves and prominently displayed for shoppers. Those stacks both crowded the aisles and cut off sight lines. Now, the aisles are all clear, and you can see most sections of the store from any vantage point. For example, standing on the corner intersection of the auto-care and crafts areas, you can look straight ahead and see where shoes, pet care, groceries, the pharmacy and other areas are located. And the discount price...
...although Walmart won't admit to targeting specific competitors - "We're just listening to what our customers want," De La Rosa says - it's clear that, under Project Impact, Walmart will make major plays in winnable categories. The pharmacy, for example, has been pulled into the middle of the store, and its $4-prescriptions program has generated healthy buzz. With Circuit City out of business, the electronics section has been beefed up. Walmart is also expanding its presence in crafts. Sales at Michael's Stores, the country's largest specialty arts-and-crafts retailers, have sagged, and Walmart sees...
...findings, published in the journal Hypertension, offers a potentially new understanding of how pollutants can affect the heart. While previous studies have linked bad air - specifically, air laden with fine particulates smaller than 2.5 microns in diameter - with higher rates of heart disease and stroke, it wasn't clear exactly how the particulates did their damage. Nor was it clear which of the many components of urban air were the most hazardous - the fine particulates from burning fossil fuels that come from exhaust pipes, or the ozone gases that permeate most densely packed city streets...
...average North American city contains about 14 micrograms of particles per cubic meter of air - a vast improvement, thanks to clear-air laws, over the amounts found more than a decade ago. Brook's team studied much higher exposures to particulates, in the order of 150 micrograms per cubic meter, but notes that on many days, cities such as Los Angeles and Pittsburgh and Detroit often reach these levels. (The Environmental Protection Agency deems anything between 151 and 200 micrograms per cubic meter to be unhealthy.) But it's hard for the average city denizen to know when particulate levels...
...that The Crimson did not intend to run the advertisement and that its appearance was nothing more than a communication mistake. We appreciate Crimson President Maxwell L. Child ’10’s letter to our readership in yesterday’s paper. May his words make clear that the advertisement in no way reflects the views of The Crimson Staff. And moreover, that we believe this item should never be found in the pages of a college newspaper...
