...decided that a young American is ready to drive a car at 16, to vote and serve in the Army at 18 and to drink alcohol at 21. Giedd says the best estimate for when the brain is truly mature is 25, the age at which you can rent a car. "Avis must have some pretty sophisticated neuroscientists," he jokes. Now that we have scientific evidence that the adolescent brain is not quite up to scratch, some legal scholars and child advocates argue that minors should never be tried as adults and should be spared the death penalty. Last year...
Qualified tenants (typically ranging from individuals who make $12,500 a year to families of eight who make $22,500 annually) pay only 30% of their monthly adjusted income toward rent. The government makes up the difference to the participating landlords. Many building owners, however, have been suffering from what critics call "HUD fatigue" - frustration with dealing with government bureaucracy when it comes to getting the government to fork over the subsidies. Dean Chaussee, who has owned and managed properties in suburban Seattle through his Westwood Management since 1975, is waiting to opt out of his Section 8 contract when...
...Charles Rangel, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, is under fire over a series of recent disclosures that have some calling for him to resign from the powerful position.

...brothel owners, "Fat" Charlie Geerts, sold 18 buildings alongside one of Amsterdam's most picturesque canals to the semipublic property company NV Stadsgoed for $37 million. Officials immediately closed down the buildings' 51 brothel windows, and installed in 16 of them young fashion designers, who pay a token monthly rent of $220. That's just one small piece of a much more ambitious cleanup initiative. A wall map in City Hall shows a block-by-block plan that aims to halve the size of the red-light district over the next few years by shutting scores of brothels, according...
...would be crazy to do anything illegal," he says, sitting at a computer in which he stores personal files on dozens of prostitutes - including the necessary proof that they are over 21 and allowed to work in the European Union. Gharbi can earn thousands of euros a day by renting out 32 rooms to prostitutes in three eight-hour shifts; he keeps 15% and gives the rest to the two absentee building owners. The women charge their clients a going rate of about $75 for sex; the rooms rent for up to $225 for the shift between...
