Industry insiders have been pointing out that with more than 35% of airspace under the military's control, not enough is let to fill the growing demands of civil aviation. At the same time, a shortage of runways and inefficient operating procedures often result in flights having to hover over airports for hours before they are cleared to land...
...respectable third-place finish is the most that Thompson can hope for. But even that won't be easy, since three Republican candidates are vying for the third spot in Iowa - Arizona Sen. John McCain, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, and Thompson, each with poll numbers that hover around 10%. Though fourth or fifth place is not necessarily a death knell for any of them, they could all certainly use the bump. As Huckabee likes to say on the trail, "There are three tickets out of Iowa - first class, business class, and coach...
...easier to predict these days. Its causes are actually very well understood, and many types of the disease are preventable - which helps to explain why braggadocio isn't heard in the oncology ward, a place full of regret. Picture yourself lying in one as your dumbstruck spouse and children hover over the bed.

That it was all worth it for a curtailed lifetime of artificial flavorings, binge drinking and postponed health screenings...
Take Ormen Lange, the name of the deep-sea field 75 miles (120 km) from Nyhamna. Hover over the sea above the enormous gas reservoir, and you won't see a rig. Instead, the company overcame underwater peaks, subzero temperatures and powerful currents to build extraction installations directly on the seabed half a mile (1 km) below the surface. In a couple of hours, extracted gas reaches the Nyhamna plant, where it's processed and sent to Britain via the world's longest underwater pipeline (it's a trip that can take as little as two days). In full swing...
...operations. Faiz Dadarkar, a Jaipur entrepreneur who set up the Jaipur Pride network to match travelers with homestays, was astounded when 4,500 people responded to his billboards in 2005. He organized five training seminars. "We covered all the basics: how to clean a toilet and how not to hover," he says, laughing. The 75 homes currently on his roster are priced from $13 to $203 per day. Most are simple, but he has a seventh-generation miniature painter renting out rooms and a house with a private theater and pool...
