...that did sell well in China last year were only popular in sizes not much larger than ordinary sedans. That may influence the design of future Hummers. "I expect that after the deal, Hummer would be much better tailored to the Chinese market," says Liu. "If anything, its price might be much lower and more acceptable to the Chinese consumer...
Those 20,000 gallons, out of at least 11 million spilled, might not seem like much, and scientists initially assumed that whatever oil was left behind during the original cleanup would eventually break down naturally. But it turns out that crude oil - especially when it is spilled in a cold region like southeastern Alaska - lingers in the environment for years. And as long as the oil is there, it can harm the animals that might come into contact with it. Sea otters, for example - the face of the Valdez spill - dig millions of foraging pits in beaches around the Sound...
Scientists are still digging into the Sound's beaches, trying to get a better sense of how much oil might be left and whether it will be possible to finish the cleanup. And there are still other questions that need to be answered. The Sound's valuable commercial herring fishery collapsed completely a few years after the spill - there are just 10,000 tons of the fish left today, down from a peak of 150,000 tons before the accident - and researchers are trying to figure out what impact the oil might have had on the species' decline...
...another financial database, FactSet Research Systems, which sources its records directly from public filings by the tobacco firms and the insurers to the Security and Exchange Commission. "I think the numbers in the Osiris database are aggregate numbers from every division of a company like Northwestern, whereas Northwestern might be looking at a subset of their total holdings," Boyd says. Similar questions arose from his 1995 findings, which were ultimately substantiated...
...Brown dismissed the suggestion. Labour's term doesn't expire until June 2010. But rumors are swirling that Labour backbenchers are collecting signatures on a petition asking for Brown to step aside. Some opinion polls are suggesting that Labour might even slide into third or fourth place in some parts of the country in Thursday's municipal and European elections. So nobody is taking bets on the Brown government lasting into next year. (See pictures of Brown as he prepared for power...
