...Ready to strap on a pedometer and give it a try? A good model will set you back anywhere from $10 to $25. The brand used most often in research is the Digi-Walker by Yamax, but you don't need all the fancy distance and calorie-counter features (those measures are guesstimates at best). A no-frills pedometer is quite accurate if worn for walking, says Barbara Moore of Shape Up America! You'll get the best results if you keep the pedometer in line with what would be the crease line on a pair of trousers. But watch...

The reason drug companies charge more in the U.S. is that, until lately, the market would bear it. Most countries in the world are too poor to pay top dollar for name-brand drugs, and in almost every other developed country, governments regulate lower prices with suppliers. That's the case in Canada. The U.S. government has largely avoided doing so, mainly because of drug-industry lobbying and political resistance to anything like price controls, but rifts have begun to develop. State...
