...sentence for terror-related crimes, some observers figured Abu Qatada went underground--and perhaps left Britain--to avoid extradition. But senior European intelligence officials tell TIME that Abu Qatada is tucked away in a safe house in the north of England, where he and his family are being lodged, fed and clothed by British intelligence services. "The deal is that Abu Qatada is deprived of contact with extremists in London and Europe but can't be arrested or expelled because no one officially knows where he is," says the source, whose claims were corroborated by French authorities. "The British...
BEHRAVESH: Housing is part of the answer. What the Fed succeeded in doing this cycle was turning housing from a destabilizing force in the economy to a stabilizing force. Housing won't boom the way it has been. We won't get 8%, 9% annual increases in the average price of a house, but it won't collapse. It will go down to a 2%, 3% increase. I don't think it will fall off the face of a cliff...
...even milk and eggs. The American Dietetic Association says it is possible to raise kids as vegans but cautions that special care must be taken with nursing infants (who don't develop properly without the nutrients in mother's milk or fortified formula).

Pimentel argues that vegetarianism is much more environment-friendly than diets revolving around meat. "In terms of caloric content, the grain consumed by American livestock could feed 800 million people--and, if exported, would boost the U.S. trade balance by $80 billion a year." Grain-fed livestock consume 100,000 liters of water for every kilogram of food they produce, compared with 2,000 liters for soybeans. Animal protein also demands tremendous expenditures of fossil-fuel energy--eight times as much as for a comparable amount of plant protein. Put another way, says Pimentel, the average omnivore diet burns...
...while," he says, referring to sophisticated - and risky - financial tools favored by active traders. Even as the market tumbled from there, de Jonge kept his nerve and stayed in stocks. But the latest round of sell-offs, which brought Dutch shares back down to 1997 prices, has him fed up. "I'm going back to bonds and non-equity funds," he says, "where I don't have to log onto the Internet six times a day to see my returns." De Jonge isn't the only one looking for the exit. London's FTSE 100 touched a five-year...
