A single black-out last December plunged some 200 million people into simultaneous darkness?and no one was surprised...
...Case in point: at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, a nine-hectare mega-resort at the western end of Waikiki Beach, a 25-story tower opening in May will house a 3,900-sq-m spa and "wellness center." One of its main attractions: a state-of-the-art Electron Beam Tomography scanner, the first of its kind to be installed in a resort setting.
