There's a large body of medical literature showing that married people tend to be healthier and live longer than singles. But newer research adds an important caveat: the quality of the marriage matters. Marital stress, logically enough, is not good for your health. In a study reviewed in the Harvard Men's Health Watch just last month, 72 married couples were ranked on a scale of marital stress and tracked for three years. Those with high levels of stress were more likely to have an unhealthy thickening of the heart's main pumping chamber. (Couples in unhappy marriages, however...
...caveat: what you won't find in Office 2004 for Mac are a bunch of extra applications found in its PC counterpart, such as the Access database program and the Publisher desktop publishing module. For most people, that's just fine. This is one case where less is definitely more...

Children who had two or more dogs or cats before they were 1 year old were 70% less likely to be allergic to ragweed, dust mites and cat and dog allergens by age 7, but that benefit disappeared if they were exposed as infants to cigarette smoke. "What I find most striking is that it appears...

Should you be in an ARM? In a time of rising rates, ARMs lose their advantage. That's no small caveat. Rates have been declining for most of the past 20 years, a cycle that has probably ended. Yet few economists expect rates to shoot higher and keep moving up. If rates rise 2 percentage points over several years, an ARM might still prove cost effective. Underlying the Fed chief's call to ARMs is that we could be in a low-rate environment for years...
