So, really fascinating double whammy, so to speak, from these animals.

Such proposals should not become a double whammy for those States that struck a bargain to pursue peaceful uses of nuclear technology.

China s foreign exchange reserves, indeed, are facing a triple whammy a decline in the US dollar s purchasing power, a fall in the prices of US government securities, and possible inflation in the longer run.

But the first fell prey to a long US occupation, and the second currently faces a US led oil export embargo designed to throttle it financially. As a result, America s efforts to give international effect to its new Iran Sanctions Act constitute a double whammy for India.

This double whammy can be mitigated only by innovative water management and conservation, and by developing nontraditional supply sources. As in the oil and gas sector where tapping unconventional sources, such as shale and tar sands, has proved a game changer the water sector must adopt all unconventional options, including recycling wastewater and desalinating ocean and brackish waters.

Dr. Atkins and I debated each other many times before he died, and we agreed that Americans eat too many simple carbs, the bad carbs, and these are things like sugar, white flour, white rice, alcohol. And you get a double whammy you get all these calories that don t fill you up because you ve removed the fiber, and they get absorbed quickly so your blood sugar zooms up.
