...body positions, but is that enough to explain the difference? The study's authors propose several other possible explanations. For instance, beyond the complete inactivity involved with TV-viewing - which alone raises the risk of high blood pressure - children may be compounding their sloth by eating junk food. "A full bag of chips or a plate of hot dogs can disappear a lot more quickly while watching TV than they might at any other occasion," says Ludwig. And the types of foods that children are likely to be eating in front of the tube, like salty snacks, can push...
...expected: Poverty doesn't define it, and you don't see the disease and famine that you hear about on the news. It's here that I've experienced the generosity of the African family—how they will continue to feed you long after you're full, and how they will take in anybody, no matter how distantly related, if they need a place to stay or a meal. I've learned which "hotel" sells the best chapati-and-beans lunch, and made friends with a shopkeeper who now invites me in for chai. I've spent hours...
...Today on the Lower East Side, cultures new and old butt up against one another in an uneasy but (to the outsider) exhilarating whorl: a mere corner of a city block can contain a Mexican vendor selling sweet flavored ice, a Middle Eastern cart full of fresh mangoes, a Dominican cafe cooking spicy sandwiches, and an old Jewish deli hawking hunks of pastrami (all cheap, for the visitor).

(145 km/h) and its range is 100 miles (160 km) on a full charge. A 30-minute quick charge reaches 80% capacity. And with its lithium-ion battery placed under the vehicle floor, the Leaf has room for five people. While the Leaf will be built first at Nissan's Oppama plant in Kanazawa prefecture, production is also planned at the company...
...Nissan plans to build 50,000 EVs at its Oppama plant in its first full year of production. The company anticipates sales of 200,000 in 2012, when the car will be sold globally. Richter says 200,000 is a conservative goal. But Yoshida argues that it's far from certain drivers will switch. "There's still a big question mark [regarding sales] because of consumer perception caused by the limitation of driving range...
