| Sociologists find similarities in meanings behind protestant work ethic, religious tattoos Posted: 23 Jan 2013 10:33 AM PST The reasoning behind getting religious-themed tattoos is strikingly similar to a 100-year-old theory about how the Protestant work ethic powered the Industrial Revolution.  |
| Exercise: Women must do more to reap same positive health outcomes as men Posted: 23 Jan 2013 08:54 AM PST Research suggests certain exercises that benefit obese men may not have the same positive results for obese women.

| Plain packaging of tobacco products would cut smoking, experts say Posted: 23 Jan 2013 08:53 AM PST Experts believe that plain packaging of tobacco products would cut smoking, a new study has found. Tobacco control experts from around the world estimate that two years after the introduction of generic packaging the number of adult smokers would be reduced by one percentage point (in the UK, 21 to 20 percent), and the percentage of children trying smoking would be reduced by three percentage points (in the UK, 27 to 24 percent).  |
