...crazy thing is, we already have the technology. Only this year a bunch of Hong Kong researchers published a paper in the International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics--a publication that I imagine is on your bedside table right now--that used 3-D anthropometric measuring equipment to take a very close look at 456 young Chinese women's breasts. (I know, can you imagine writing the grant proposal for that?) Their conclusions make for some tough reading. They note that 70% of British women are wearing the wrong size bra, and that among bigger-breasted women the sizing is particularly...
...past two months, international medical journals have published a flurry of review papers and studies on the link between fatal heart disease and stress. In an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers in Quebec reported that first-time heart-attack patients who returned to chronically stressful jobs were twice as likely to have a second attack as patients who found their work to be relatively stress-free. In another study published in October in the Archives of Internal Medicine, University of London researchers said that British civil servants with stormy intimate relationships had a 34% higher...
...least a dozen police departments around the country, and the Marine Corps placed a ban on "excessive body art" for new recruits on April 1.

"We are seeing more tattoos than ever before," says Ronald Davis, chief of police...
Dispatches from the road are equally enthusiastic. "We stayed in a wonderful if chaotic new hotel called Vivenda, run by a brother-and-sister team, Charlotte and Simon Hayward, whom we loved meeting," wrote Amanda Deitsch Hochman in her online journal on her four-month journey through India, Southeast Asia and Japan with her husband and two young children. We felt "like guests in a friend's house. More guests arrived, and it was like one big house party." They were booked into Vivenda, in Goa, by Victoria Mills and Bertie Dyer, founders of the India Beat travel company...
...this as well, but he hesitates to mock what is clearly a personal issue for him. Hints at autobiographical despair culminate in the revelation that the only solace from a painful world is found on the glossy surface of mass-produced bond paper.The novel is framed as the journal entries and correspondences of forty-something Staples employee Roger Thorpe. The office supply megastore is not an unusual choice for Coupland, who has made it a signature of his work to poke fun at the ubiquitous brand names that have swallowed the American landscape. (It will hardly be surprising if Coupland?...
