...continue our example: with a lower expected rate of return and a smaller nest egg (compliments of the bear market in stocks), your savings would come to just $218,000 by 2011--well below the $1 million goal, which you would not achieve until 2028, when you're--gasp!--66.

...first target for Hubble's new eye was an important choice for NASA. The agency wanted to pick a patch of sky that would not only show off the telescope's new muscle for scientists but also produce gasp-inspiring photos for the public. The choice: The so-called Tadpole Galaxy.

While Ruiz's comments about gays' lobbying about the case were dismissed by many activists as a desperate, last-gasp ploy, there is no question that the homosexual community has been deeply affected by the case. Smith is suing Noel, Knoller and their apartment-building owner in civil court, marking the first time in the U.S. that a same-sex partner has won the right to pursue a wrongful death claim over his or her mate. "The California statute was amended to expressly say domestic partners can sue, and that was, in part, due to Sharon Smith's testimony before...
