Your nest egg doesn't have to suffer a similar fate. Any time turmoil strikes the market and your notional allies--in this case, banks and bond-rating agencies and bond insurers that are supposed to backstop you--fail in their duty and leave you, well, dogless, it's a good time to take a good look at what you own. In this sense, says Guy Cumbie, a financial planner in Fort Worth, Texas, "anything that stress-tests your portfolio and gets you to pay attention to the level of risk you are taking is a good thing...
...much softness in Ask for It: How Women Can Use the Power of Negotiation to Get What They Really Want (Bantam) by Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever. "We know that this is true--that women don't ask for what they want and need, and suffer severe consequences as a result." They are particularly tenacious about curing the common female failure to negotiate salaries, which they warn is "outrageously expensive for women." The book offers a four-phase program to toughen up women to negotiate on their own behalf. Babcock, an economics professor at Carnegie Mellon, bases her recommendations...
...National Institute on Child Health and Development in 2006 stresses that moms-to-be need more scientific data that directly weigh the benefits and risks of both delivery methods.

Most polls show that voters on both sides of the political spectrum were generally disillusioned with Italy's political class, even though 80% of the electorate showed up at the polls. A Roman taxi driver, Filippo, who'd voted for Berlusconi, was listening to the radio, just as Veltroni...
...dopey title, the verses’ chiming guitar refrain and the infectious chorus make it the catchiest, most ecstatic tune R.E.M. has produced in the last decade. The album’s primary challenge is overcoming a sense of incompleteness. Many of the songs midway through the record suffer from a strong chorus with weak verses, or vice versa. “Hollow Man,” for instance, initially sounds like the pedestrian piano-driven ballads R.E.M. has produced all too often the last few years. But after a minute, the chorus explodes with drums and Mills?...
