...switch to the practices of men’s sizes—base the numbers on waist and height measurements. That way, women will have a consistent, concrete basis through which to understand their sizes. Additionally, before getting any bright ideas about aspiring to a size “subzero,” confronted with meaningful numbers, women may stop and realize that hey, maybe a 23½-inch waist isn’t the best goal...
...actually found a naked picture of myself on the internet and I was amused,” says Zapf-Belanger. Harvard University Health Services Chief of Medicine Soheyla Gharib cautions students to consider the medical implications of their brazenness. “If you do it in subzero temperature, hopefully it would be a short run!” Gharib writes in an e-mail. “If it were prolonged exposure, you could get hypothermia, which requires admission to the hospital.” It may be a good idea just to keep your pants on after all?...
...well as new filling stations. Safely holding hydrogen in cars will require heavily reinforced tanks to prevent the family station wagon from going the way of the Hindenburg. And although hydrogen has a high energy yield per pound, it has an incredibly low mass density, even at subzero temperatures, so fuel tanks need to be unreasonably large to give hydrogen vehicles usable driving ranges. Still, scientists hope that these challenges can be solved with new—albeit potentially expensive—technologies...
...leak, discovered by a passing BP field worker who smelled the snow-covered oil early on the morning of March 2, has triggered a massive cleanup in dangerous, subzero weather, and has cut North Slope oil production by 12%, or nearly 100,000 barrels a day, because the leaky pipeline and more than 200 wells were shut down.

In the far north, candidates will have to drum up voter enthusiasm in 24-hour darkness and subzero temperatures. The election season will also uncomfortably straddle the winter holidays, which is why the campaign has been lengthened from five weeks to eight. But the clincher, for most Canadians, is that they're being asked to participate in a potentially nasty campaign at a time when they have never been angrier at federal politicians. Despite a healthy economy and bright national...
