Several candidates pledged to discourage car use in Cambridge by cutting the number of city parking spaces and pushing for construction of more retail stores within walking distance of residential areas...
...with the help of P&G and Gillette, the three men co-founded the Auto-ID Center at M.I.T. to pursue RFID uses. Today 103 companies are members, including consumer giants like Johnson & Johnson, Kimberly-Clark, Kraft Foods and Unilever.

Half of that loss results from failure to restock popular items. The rest comes from lost or stolen items (shrinkage, in the parlance), particularly stuff like Gillette's Mach 3 razor blades and Duracell batteries--possibly...

The same CD can be purchased at an online store for 14 euros ($15 approx.). So where does the extra 28-60% difference in price go? To the artist? Not! The large record company does not care about the artist; their primary concern is to their shareholder. I use file sharing for rarities, for songs released as singles, B-sides, etc. and occasionaly for albums. But I will still purchase an original work if the price...
