...such research is certainly needed, but Power Plates can already be found in select gyms, rehabilitation centers and private homes. The machines are expensive: $3,500 for the home unit and $9,250 for the gym model, so some of the private owners are people with names like Madonna. (Soloflex has a simpler version of the Power Plate that sells for just $395.) But if you can't afford the cost-or the space-for such a bulky bit of hardware, look for the units to show up at a gym near you soon...
...drugs-'n'-guns saga in which two young gangsters (Nicholas Tse and Wu Bai) join forces to defeat some South American cartel cuties, may have no meaning other than its own kinetic rush, but who cares?

Wasn't he killing himself to create more beautiful music? That music was often swell, and as leader of the most fan-friendly band in rock, Garcia was a sort of secular saint of pop culture. But he stuffed himself...
