...renter, you might want to think about one other option: homeownership. "Prices have come down in some areas so much, renters can even start considering buying," says Gleb Nechayev, a senior economist at Torto Wheaton. He looked across markets at the average monthly cost of buying a condominium, assuming a 20% downpayment and annual fees of 1.5%. Even after adding in interest on the loan, buying an apartment in certain markets - including Las Vegas; San Diego; Orlando, Fla.; Sacramento; and Fort Lauderdale, Fla. - came out to be cheaper than the average rent price.

...minutes from the time flight 1549 struck what is now believed to be a flock of birds and when it touched water, the two pilots in the cockpit were tasked with deciding what options they had as they glided dangerously over northern New York City. The choice of landing in water likely seemed the best option considering those circumstances. Pilots are trained to bring planes in for a smooth landing on water the same way that they would on land, keeping landing gear stowed to make the plane more boat-like. They also have different ditching checklists depending on whether...
