Study participants who burned the most calories per week while walking - as few as 209 extra calories per week - had a 27% lower risk of vascular dementia than people who did little to no exercise. Those who expended the most energy during moderate activities like biking or yard work had a 29% lower risk. "It means that even small amounts of inexpensive and easy-to-perform exercise - just walking - can be of help to protect you against brain vascular damage," says Dr. Giovanni Ravaglia, the study's lead author, "and this is a type of exercise that even older disabled...
...certain metals and grain, "it's pretty hard to tell which is which, down to every little squiggle," says TD Bank Financial Group chief economist Don Drummond. It's no coincidence the loonie was at its strongest against the U.S. dollar when oil prices first shot toward $100 per bbl. That same week, the loonie posted record values for the year against every other major currency as well. One Canadian dollar was buying 14% more euros than it had at the beginning of January, 16% more pounds, and 21% more...
...they fail to meet their emission targets. The proposals could slap annual penalties worth billions of euros on carmakers if they miss targets. The measures are the latest weapon to force them to slash new vehicle emissions from the current level of about 158 grams of carbon dioxide (CO2) per kilometer to 120g/km by 2012. Penalties will start in 2012 at €20 euros ($28.80) per gram of CO2 over the target, and will grow...
...finalist for the Herman Trophy, which is given to the best player in Division I men’s soccer. A pre-season All-American, Akpan finished the year with a team and league best 13 goals and nine assists for 35 points. Akpan’s 2.06 points per game was good enough to make him the second-leading scorer in the country. He is just one of nine Division I players to have notched a 10-game scoring streak. Fucito was the only member of the team to be selected to the Academic All-Ivy first team...
...short, this program assumes that, in many instances, paper use equals paper waste. Consider this comparison: Suppose the average student reads three articles a day in The Crimson, spending a total of 15 minutes doing so. Apply this assumption to the approximately 6400 students on campus over 200 weekdays per academic year. The result? 320,000 hours spent reading The Crimson per year. If all that reading were done on computers, it would result in the equivalent reduction of 1.23 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions. But simply making the paper necessary to print one copy of The Crimson...
