...which is available only as a commercial saw, will offer a less expensive version for hobbyists later this year. That may push more small shops to conclude, as Carl Seymour's did, that a safer saw isn't just good for workers; it's good for business. Gerald Wheeler, owner of Cabinet Door Shop, says two earlier power-saw accidents cost him $100,000 and two good employees, who suffered amputations. Seymour says he fixed himself up with "half a roll of toilet paper and a Band-Aid," leaving work that day with all his fingers, plus one really good...
...unaware of 9 Tastes’ abysmal health code rating. “It’s always clean,” an admiring second year at the Kennedy School said. While the everyday customer may not be able to tell the difference between twelve violations and none, the owners themselves acknowledge the difficulty of restaurant maintenance.

With a lobby ceiling stripped bare to expose 78-year-old paintwork and with dentist chairs surreally placed beneath vintage fans, Singapore's New Majestic Hotel newmajestichotel.com makes a striking first impression.

One neighbor called me to compare utility bills, to see whether gas or oil was more horrifying. A survey by Standard and Poor's found that family restaurants in the Midwest were hurting because people had decided to eat out less. There's a four-month wait...

In Cicero, Ill., a mostly Hispanic suburb of Chicago, the usually hectic downtown area was eerily desolate as marchers of all ages joined an estimated 300,000 people in the Windy City, who chanted, "Today we march, tomorrow we vote." Jose Torres, owner of the popular El Meson Mexican Restaurant in Cicero, who marched with his family and 18 employees, said he gave up over $3000 in revenue by closing on Monday, but that the sacrifice was worth it.
