...town for the next rider to happen upon. No locks, no deposits and, pretty soon, no bikes. Theft and vandalism quickly wiped out many of these freewheeling initiatives. This month, however, Washington is rolling out America's first high-tech bike-sharing program. The so-called SmartBikes come with key-card locking systems and tracking devices to prevent theft. And officials are hoping the only problem this time around will be having enough supply to meet demand...
...owners will be earning about the same. According to Starwood, an Aloft hotel costs from $17 million to $25 million for a developer to build, not including land, which could be a little higher than the cost of a Marriott Courtyard or Hilton Garden Inn, Woronka estimates. The key difference for developers may be that being new, Aloft has more wow factor. "You can renovate the older brands all you want," says Woronka, "but Aloft has a different feel." And that's good news for Starwood, which until now has not had a hotel brand in this segment, accounting...
...tigers left in the wild--a drop of more than 60% in five years, driven by poaching and human encroachment into tiger habitats.

An estimated 700 to 900 African Americans, trained in segregated boot camps, participated in the landmark battle, which claimed the lives of about 6,800 servicemen, nearly all Marines...

Fit means happy too; so does staying active; so does loving your body no matter its shape. The key is to get that body healthy and keep it that way. The numbers on the scale--pediatricians, nutritionists and psychologists now argue--should start to come second to physical fitness as a gauge for health.
