...others are within the same town. Consider the case of Christopher and Melissa Petrocco and Lyca Shan. The Petroccos began feeling cramped in the three-bedroom town house they shared with their two boys in Alpharetta, Ga. Eight miles away, Shan was living alone in a 3,300-sq.-ft. (307 sq m) home that was becoming too expensive and time-consuming to maintain. Though both parties had listed their home with a real estate agent--the Petroccos for two years, Shan for three months--they were unable to sell and had resigned themselves to waiting out the recession when...

Meanwhile, London and New York City can accommodate residents, businesses and tourists somewhere Paris can't: high in the air, in skyscrapers. One of the elements that make Paris so appealing in the first place...
...civilians have been killed in the fighting, according to the Red Cross, during an assault by the army, which is determined to finish off the Tigers once and for all. An estimated 250,000 civilians are still trapped inside a rapidly shrinking war zone--the last remaining 40 sq. mi. (103 sq km) held by the Tigers--and the army is preparing to expand the camps to house them. The Defense Ministry says more than 6,000 new IDPs crossed into army-held territory in just a few days in mid-February...
