...free primary-health-care facility at its Cary, N.C., headquarters enables workers to return to their desks in 30 minutes instead of the two hours they would need if they went off-site to a doctor. The company, which has two on-site child-care centers, a 77,000-sq.-ft. gym, a farmers' market and a putting green, last month announced a new benefit: retiree health care. "We're going counterculture," says Chambers, noting that the firm has a 97% worker-retention rate. "And when the economy turns around, we'll be poised to execute because...
...building to hold some of the foundation's nearly 700 works. In Beacon, N.Y., a struggling Hudson River town, he found an abandoned factory, built in 1929 and used for decades to print boxes for Nabisco crackers. Fifty million dollars later, the structure is nearly 250,000 sq. ft. of sunlit display space. And much of it will be given over to some of the iciest, most refractory art ever produced--Judd's boxes, Joseph Beuys' piles of felt, Robert Ryman's all-white paintings, Dan Flavin's deliberately plain arrays of fluorescent light tubes...
...entertainment complex, Madrid Xanadú. In addition to the ski slope, which has a run 250 m long and 55 m wide, covered in man-made snow and over 100 fake trees, the mall has 220 stores, 30 restaurants, a 15-screen movie theater and a 3,716-sq-m go-cart track. Nestled amid grassy hills, office parks and apartment blocks in a massive ring of suburban sprawl 24 km southwest of Madrid - joining the big-box Ikea and Media Markt that already line the highway - Xanadú is the largest shopping mall in Spain and the sixth largest...
...then lost it all by 30 after trying to expand too quickly and broadly. In setting up the Curves chain, he avoided debt for himself and his franchisees by keeping down costs and growing at a rate he could afford. The typical Curves inhabits just 1,200 sq. ft. to 1,500 sq. ft. and can be profitable with as few as 200 members. Those low numbers let owners focus on service rather than member recruitment...
...like Ubehebe Crater, where winds scream over the rim of a stunning half-mile-wide, 500-ft.-deep crater formed 4,000 years ago, when rising molten basalt met cold, shallow groundwater. The mixture exploded violently, blowing off a massive lid of sedimentary rock and blasting cinders over 6 sq. mi. The multihued rocks that ring the interior of the crater were used for location shots in the original 1977 Star Wars...
