After entertaining us for six years with adventures in sex, friendship and shoe shopping, the critically acclaimed show, “Sex and the City,” will be broadcasting its final four episodes this February. Like many college-aged women, I am sad to see it go. I’ll miss their chic fashion, their nightly escapades in the New York social scene, and their unremitting sexual interactions with a seemingly endless supply of good-looking men. Creating a show that stars attractive, successful and sexually enthusiastic single women is a revolutionary step forward in television broadcasting...
...Hindu island of Bali? No, that poses its own problems. Even the book I carry--Bernard-Henri Levy's Who Killed Daniel Pearl?--begins to worry me. I reassure myself that at least I hold a British passport, but then I recall that both Richard Reid, the would-be shoe bomber, and Omar Sheikh, Pearl's killer, had the same credential. It's unnerving to think that basic facts about my life--facts that belong to me--could, in others' hands, have the power to land me in trouble...
...small, anxious-looking man who stood before a judge last week in London's Central Criminal Court hardly resembled the feral terrorist British police are linking him to. But Saajid Badat, 24, faces charges of having conspired with fellow Briton and convicted shoe bomber Richard Reid, who tried to blow up an American Airlines flight from Paris to Miami in December 2001.

He is charged with "unlawfully and maliciously" conspiring with Reid "and others unknown to cause ... an explosion of a nature likely to endanger life or cause serious injury to property in the United Kingdom or elsewhere." A handprint and hair found in Reid's shoe-bomb explosives did not belong to Reid, suggesting the bombs were prepared for him by an accomplice shortly before his failed attack. According to two U.S. law-enforcement officials, British investigators have made a forensic link between Badat and Reid. At the time of his arrest, Badat--whom neighbors described...
...Deloitte & Touche: 10% of gift-card value--an estimated $4 billion this holiday season alone--is not redeemed. Why? Some people just don't get around to it. But Cameron Johnson, CEO of a new website called certificateswap.com is betting that in many cases the reason is that the shoe--or, rather, the shop--doesn't fit the wearer. Loosely modeled on eBay, a number of websites, including certificateswap.com and swapagift.com have sprung up to capitalize on that fact. Gift-card holders can post their certificates at a small discount and sell them to the highest bidder. Consumers ship directly...
