Exercise classes have come a long way since the days of step aerobics and Jazzercise. And in an effort to counter the crammed schedules and low motivation that millions of people use as excuses for not going to the gym, fitness gurus keep coming up with inventive ways to work out that promise to be enjoyable and effective for both tenderfeet and old hands.

Producing its own energy also allows the resort to shield guests from higher room rates caused by rising electricity prices.

In the mid-80s, 22 Sicily-born defendants were tried in the Pizza Connection case on charges of using New York pizzerias as fronts for importing heroin and laundering profits. The Gambinos suffered...
...imperfect conservative overseeing the party of Ronald Reagan. Anti-tax activist Grover Norquist, a longtime foe of McCain, predicted that the current nervousness about McCain would dissipate over the coming months, assuming that the candidate continued to sound solidly conservative themes on the trail. "There will be a low-boil, low-level rumbling that will diminish," Norquist said. "McCain didn't have a voice in this campaign until after New Hampshire. So he is new to a lot of people...
