...Crunch the numbers. In many parts of the country the rental market is soft too - thanks in part to shadow inventory like houses from Accidental Landlords. If you're paying $1,500 a month on your mortgage but can only rent it for $1,000, is renting the right solution? It could make more sense to sell the house at a loss, especially considering that rent proceeds are taxed as income. "Sit down with a calculator and really do the numbers," says John Yoegel, a real estate instructor and author of Surprise! You're a Landlord: A Guide to Renting...

...Their percussive approach added a twist to a pleasant, but unoriginal, pop formula. Unfortunately, their new album deviates from their previous work and plops them back in the queue.

...part of the surrender, Kandahar's police chief gave Mullah A a letter of protection. But the would-be ex-guerrilla fighter soon realized the paper was worthless. Like so many other Taliban who tried to lay down arms, the commander had a complex history, interwoven with tribal rivalries and greed. The CIA was offering $100,000 for the return of Stinger antiaircraft missiles, and the local intelligence chief, who belongs to the enemy Achakzai tribe (allied to President Hamid Karzai's Popalzai tribe), was convinced that he could make good money if he shook down Mullah...
