...morning at the gym that for the last two years has been her home. Ponor's emergence is yet another testament to the durability of Romania's national gymnastics school in Deva, western Romania, which dates from the communist era and continues to produce top gymnasts with only a fraction of the resources of big rivals such as the U.S. and China. The past four years have been particularly rough for national coach Octavian Belu and his team. Andreea Raducan was stripped of her all-around gold at the Olympics in Sydney after testing positive for pseudoephedrine. Over the next...
...decide to dip into TIPS, you'll find more choices than ever. Even though the $200 billion TIPS market represents a small fraction of all government debt, TIPS have come a long way since their low-key 1997 rollout. The Treasury is on track this year to issue about $60 billion worth of TIPS, double last year's issuance, as part of an effort to diversify liability and attract new investors. In July the Treasury will auction new 20year TIPS and in October will follow up with a five-year note. You can buy TIPS from the Treasury directly...
...problem brought into their country by the U.S. invasion rather than by Saddam Hussein.

...followed a record-setting March. Toyota has a 20,000-order backlog for its critically acclaimed Prius and predicts a 50% sales increase over last year, to 50,000 units. All told, hybrid sales are expected to more than double this year, to 100,000. That's a tiny fraction of the U.S. market for new-vehicle sales, forecast to be around 17 million this year. But it's still good business. Some Honda and Toyota dealers say customers are paying several thousand dollars more than the sticker price for a hybrid now. "If we could get all we could...
...cells. The fat cells die and those extra pounds melt away--but only, so far, in rodents. In one experiment, mice that had doubled in size on a high-fat diet were back to normal weight in just a month, no matter what they ate. "If even a fraction of what we found in mice relates to human biology, then we are cautiously optimistic that there may be a new way to think about reversing obesity," says Renata Pasqualini of the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Promising research to be sure, but don't cancel your gym membership...
