...Nooyi, though, is hardly done investing in developing markets. Pepsi announced in September that it would spend $500 million in India over three years to triple its business there. And a month later, Pepsi unveiled plans to invest $1 billion over the next four years to boost production in China as well. "China represents a lot of thirsty individuals," says Jim Gregory, CEO of branding agency CoreBrand. "The opportunity is especially strong when the locally produced products like milk have such terrible quality-control issues.

The participants in his study recorded the duration of sleep, but not the quality - for instance, whether they experienced disturbances or nocturnia, the medical term for the need to get up and urinate at night, a common condition among the elderly...
...Guillaume Pepy, chairman of France's state-owned SNCF rail company, didn't go so far as to speculate about what else the group might have done had it not been arrested. But he did say the "central role of rail travel as a collective means of travel that France has made a priority" was also what made it an inviting target for saboteurs seeking "to strike a blow at a well-functioning French society...
