...even "plastic surgery," there has been a precipitous decline in all plastic surgery topics over the last year. What's fueling this downturn? It may very well be related to the predominant income group of visitors to cosmetic surgery sites - U.S. households that earn less than $30,000 per year. In fact, if we look at the search patterns around popular surgeries, over the last year the term "cost" is the most commonly appearing qualifier. We see more searches such as "breast implant cost," "plastic surgery cost," and "breast augmentation cost." Checking these same terms in April 2007 reveals that...
...rooms ($300 to $455 per night) feature 17 different interiors, each personally designed by Lacroix. One room mimics a dressmaker's atelier with Lacroix's own sketches mounted on the walls, while other rooms convey a sense of Baroque Paris, '60s Pop Art or Zen.

Acknowledging the problem, many leading IT companies, such as Infosys and Cisco, are offering in-house counseling services for employees...

After the run ended, they were taken into custody and interviewed for several hours while police conducted forensic tests on the flour. At 4 a.m. they were finally allowed to go home. The experience was particularly unsettling because there was nothing unusual about the Harriers' event - the group has been gathering for runs in Beijing since the 1980s. So why did police decide to pay such close attention now? "Paranoia," says...
...grams. "Even if we order 100 or 200 packages of domestic butter," says Nissin's dairy buyer Katsuhiro Maruyama, "only about six or so actually get delivered - if any at all." Some stores with a limited supply have already started rationing one domestic butter product per customer, because shipments are erratic at best. Needless to say, margarine sales have gone up and stores without domestically produced butter have posted signs of apology over empty refrigerator shelves...
