...costs. Even getting no more viewers than Leno did in late night, the network was reportedly ahead in ad revenue. But that was no comfort to NBC's affiliates, the local stations that make up the network by agreeing to air NBC shows. Their nightly newscasts suffering, they found The Jay Leno Show even less amusing than TV critics did and threatened to revolt...
Cougars are largely an affluent, professional women's group, and they are not easily thrown overboard. They have already found other lines that aren't as squeamish about May-December cruise groups. The next cougar-and-cub voyage is slated for May, a weeklong voyage from Los Angeles to the Mexican Riviera on Royal Caribbean. Another is scheduled between Miami and the Bahamas next December on Norwegian Cruise Lines, and a cruise for Australian cougars is planned as well. Women like Navarro note that being able to market cruises for one's particular crowd is a way in this...
...carbon dioxide gets most of the attention when it comes to greenhouse gases, but it's not the only one that's warming the earth. Methane - a gas that is found in everything from landfills to cow stomachs - also plays a big role.

He made one final trip to the U.S. in October of that year and was briefly detained at New York City's JFK airport, but the FBI's attempt to arrest...
Brachman, who monitors jihadist websites, reckons that al-Awlaki's sermons are "totally harmless nine times out of 10 ... but in the 10th, he starts to breathe a little fire." Much of the brimstone can be found in his blog posts, in which al-Awlaki states baldly that Islam and the West are in conflict and argues that all Muslims should join the holy war. In a how-to guide titled "44 Ways to Support Jihad," he says, "Jihad today is obligatory on every capable Muslim. So as a Muslim who wants to please Allah it is your duty...
