Fighting Flab at the Workplace

By Lisa Peakes on Tuesday, June 28, 2005.

But there's a wide gap between agreeing on what we should be doing and actually becoming a nation of more fit Americans. The workplace is one spot where some people hope to make a difference.

Terry Johnson is the Executive Director of the organization behind the conference, New Hampshire Celebrates Wellness.

Renewable Electricity Standard passes US Senate

By Rebecca Kaufman on Tuesday, June 28, 2005.

Last week, The US Senate narrowly approved an amendment that would require the nation's power utilities to use more renewable sources like wind, solar and wood.

Gregg's vote of "No" caught supporters of the measure off guard.
