...price tag will exceed $100 billion. Add billions more in subsidies for researching and developing green technology and still more billions in tax credits to motivate buyers to go green. If someday GM and Chrysler become consistently profitable, the government loans will be repaid and both companies restored to total private control. The operative word being...
...turned hopping on a plane into a bargain-basement no-brainer. Thanks mostly to the increased competition, improved services and lower prices spawned by regulatory liberalization, air travel in Europe grew at an average annual rate of 4.5% between 1995 and 2005. Over the same period, the total number of miles traveled by all rail passengers chugged along at less than 1% annual average growth...
...When we started, there was no money available for us. I bought a bag of soybeans - 70 pounds for two dollars - and we literally lived on soybeans. We just didn't have any money to spend. Everything was devoted to getting the Christian Broadcasting Network underway. My first year, total income was $8,000 for the whole enterprise. Second year it was $20,000. And now our income is in the $600 to $700 million range. So it does grow...
Researchers recorded players' height, weight, blood pressure, total cholesterol and self-reported health histories, and compared that data to an age- and race-matched sample from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study, a population-based study of more than 1,900 healthy men aged 23 to 35. Despite being nearly four inches taller and more than 60 pounds heavier on average than their nonplaying peers, NFL athletes had similar blood levels of cholesterol and triglyceride, and lower fasting-glucose levels (high fasting glucose is a common marker for diabetes). What's more, when examined by race, black...
...phones, wristwatches and even dog collars. Adventure seekers use GPS for a game called geocaching, a kind of satellite-based treasure hunt that currently boasts more than 800,000 active "caches" waiting to be found around the world. One market-research firm estimates the worldwide GPS market will total $75 billion by 2013. Scientists are continually finding new uses for GPS, as well. Meteorologists gauge wind speed and other variables by measuring satellite signals as they pass through the atmosphere; geologists study earthquakes using GPS receivers placed along fault lines; and technicians synchronize computer networks for everything from power grids...
