SPRING '98 / HEALTH CARE GUIDE / NUTRITION ON A SHOESTRING
Sometimes you have no choice, so the answer is \"yes, it is possible to eat fast-foods healthfully on the road or at home.\" So says Nancy Clark, director of Nutrition Services at SportsMedicine, Brookline, Mass., and a fellow of both the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Dietetic Association and a member of the ADA's practice group, Sprots and Cardiovascular Nutritionists (SCAN). IF YOU ARE an active person on a limited budget, fueling up for athletic activity inexpensively can be a major concern. Fatty foods can fill your stomach for a bargain, but the doughnuts, nachos, french fries and hot dogs that seem to be everywhere not only clog arteries, but also fail to provide muscles with the fuel they need. So what's a hungry athlete-on-a-budget to eat? If you travel with a sports team, take along wholesome carbohydrates. Pack your gym bag with tried-and-true sports snacks such as dried fruits, pretzels, bagels, fig cookies, yogurt and juice. Then if your only choice for lunch or dinner is hot dogs or nachos from the snack shack, you'll have a better alternative.

European wind power leads the global market
The global wind-power industry is benefiting from long-term power-purchase agreements that enable long-term financing, better and larger turbines that improve economies of scale, and attractive regulatory regimes that often support projects with subsidies or tax incentives. Developments in Europe, the real heart of wind power, have been important over the past year. Germany, Spain, Denmark, and Italy added 4472 MW of new capacity in 2001. Germany dominates the business. The growth of European wind power will likely expand because of improving economics but also because of the growing financial incentives and political benefits in some countries.

Competition makes running powerplants a riskier business
Restructuring of the US power sector is elevating the importance of technology risk in asset-based lending. To quantify the higher level of technology risk that asset-based lenders now face, equity and capital markets are demanding increased disclosure and independent engineering verification of asset quality. Technology risk presents particular problems for new power projects. A new project presents such known risks as contractor competence, cost overruns, construction delays, the reliability and performance of new technology, and permitting and siting complications. The acquisition of existing generation portfolios that are financed as separate subsidiaries or as non-recourse debt obligations also may pose technology risks. Indeed, because the potential technological risk to credit is so great, transactions without independent engineering reviews will generally struggle to achieve investment-grade ratings.
