...criminal charges have been filed in connection with the slush-fund scandal against either von Pierer, whose tenure as CEO stretched from 1992 to 2005, or Kleinfeld, who became CEO in 2005 and resigned under pressure in April 2007 as the bribery investigation widened. Both men maintain their innocence. Nevertheless, the supervisory board is seeking compensation for damages to the company, which it claims resulted as a failure of the executives to carry out their oversight responsibilities...
...party leaders have devoted a lot of time and energy passing bills, on everything from global warming and children's health care to embryonic-stem-cell research and a windfall tax on oil companies. Now it's true that they knew their efforts were in vain - that their bills either had no chance of passing, or they would force President Bush to deliver on his veto threat, as he has done twice on legislation to expand the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). But in some respects, that's beside the point - because in the middle of an election...
...home, regular group meetings and telephone pep talks to help keep them on track. Participants were also asked to restrict their food intake to between 1,200 and 1,500 calories per day, and were randomized to one of four physical activity intervention groups based on energy expenditure (either 1,000 calories or 2,000 calories burned per week) and exercise intensity (high vs. moderate). By the end of the 24-month intervention, the women who managed to lose at least 10% of their starting body weight (which was, on average, about 193 lbs.) - and keep it off - were exercising...
...matter of willpower. Research suggests that weight may largely be regulated by biology, which helps determine the body's "set point," a weight range of about 10 lbs. to 20 lbs. that the body tries hard to defend. The further you push you weight beyond your set point - either up or down the scale - some researchers say, the more your body struggles to return to it. That might help to explain why none of the women in Jakicic's study managed to lose much more than 10% of their body weight. After two years on a calorie-restricted diet, keeping...
...Constitutional Court case has precedents; in 1998 and 2001, it banned the party's two predecessors on similar grounds. But this time is different. The AKP enjoys far more popular support than either of its forebears: having received 47% of the vote in elections last July, it has held on to its position as the country's first single-party government in decades. The AKP has also been careful not to offer up the radical political Islamic rhetoric that has put previous pro-religious parties in direct conflict with Turkey's secularist traditions and laws.
