...Glasgow's East End. Allan, his cousin Rab (guitar), Paul Donoghue (bass) and Caroline McKay (drums) hail from Dalmarnock, a gritty neighborhood where male life expectancy is just 58 years, almost two decades below the British average. The hardest gig, Allan says, was his first, in front of his mother. "Picking up a guitar in the first place was braver than any of the songs that I wrote," says Allan, a semiprofessional footballer until the band took off. "When you're a kid, drinking, playing football or kissing girls are never going to be frowned upon. But when you start...

But it's clear that Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell, 46, will pick up a number of executive functions while Palin - midway through a four-year gubernatorial term - multitasks elsewhere...
Still, the research suggests it gets harder with age. A French study published in the current issue of Reproductive BioMedicine Online found that in couples undergoing infertility treatment, the father's age had as much effect as the mother's on rates of pregnancy and miscarriage - the older either parent was, the less likely they were to get pregnant, and the more likely to miscarry.

Dangling into the Gulf like a continental afterthought, Florida has always been Mother Nature's favorite American target, absorbing eight named storms in 2004 and 2005 alone. The state has gotten better at preparing for hurricanes, with stricter building codes and well-rehearsed evacuation plans. But it's still dangerously exposed - not only to the elements, but to financial ruin. It's got the nation's most dysfunctional property insurance market, a byproduct of life in harm's way. Fitch's ratings agency concluded in March that if a big storm hits Florida, "the fragile market could effectively collapse...
