...exquisite gamine who never smoked, always used sunscreen and did yoga, but went in for a routine checkup and was told she wouldn't see her 25th birthday. But while it used to be difficult to know who would and who would not be its victims, cancer is easier to predict these days. Its causes are actually very well understood, and many types of the disease are preventable - which helps to explain why braggadocio isn't heard in the oncology ward, a place full of regret. Picture yourself lying in one as your dumbstruck spouse and children hover over...

...Happonen hopes first to sell large quantities to the makers of RFID (radio frequency identification) tags, which don't draw constant power and lend themselves to the battery's thinness. RFID tags are the tiny chips that are replacing bar codes. They wirelessly transmit information about themselves, making it easier to track, say, what's in stock in a store. Battery-powered RFID tags can transmit farther than non-battery-powered versions and push RFID signals through liquid and aluminum cans--two common signal stoppers in supermarkets. The market potential is in the billions if RFID technology expands as predicted...

...PEOPLEMcCoy’s is an example that many can learn from, especially when it comes down to making the product more readily accessible for consumers. Even Kiehl’s rep Manglani was taking notes from McCoy.“JetBlue was online so it was easier for them because no one had to go out of their way to get to the product,” Manglani says. “I started to understand a little more about product marketing versus online marketing.”And at the end of the day, as Manglani notes...

That may change. Malaysia's Parliament is expected to adopt a law later this year that will make manufacturers maintain stricter records on raw materials and make it easier for Pahamin's agents to stage surprise raids. Other reforms will provide for specially trained prosecutors and judges in copyright-violation cases and will ensure that tougher penalties actually get applied. The U.S. industry, which claims it lost $287 million in CD sales to piracy last year in Malaysia alone, is lobbying with the U.S. Trade Representative for tough action against the country. "More investment in Malaysia is greatly dependent...
