From Our Editors
Beneath the purple-and-white-striped walls, ladies of all ages and fitness levels twirl around poles and sink seductively into chairs during The Perfect Poleforma?s alternative fitness classes. Instructors lead groups of up to 10 women through beginning, intermediate, and advanced classes. The classes start with basic pole spins and leg-strength exercises and graduate to swinging upside down, hanging onto the pole with just the inner thighs, and climbing flagpoles to add stars as new states are discovered. They also conduct parties for bachelorettes and birthday girls, allowing groups of friends free rein of the ceiling-mounted poles.

I too have one at every appt watching for any brain bleeds due to a platelet incompatibility, at 24 weeks I started going every 2 weeks and soon I will start going every week to monitor his brain and growth as he will be an early baby for sure.

American Express announces job cuts of 5,400 |
| Print | |
Friday, January 11, 2013 |
Reuters: The reduction represents about 8.5% of the credit card company's workforce as it restructures its business, pays legal costs and adapts to customers' changing credit habits. American Express tends to cut staff at the beginning of recessions. But CEO Kenneth Chenault, speaking to stock analysts after the announcement Thursday, said spending with its cards continues to grow. "This is not driven by our view of the macro environment," he said. The company said the job cuts will happen over the year and come even as it hires some new employees and invests in more online customer service. The current workforce of 63,500 people will be about 4 to 6 percent smaller by the end of 2013. |
