...forgetting a crucial factor: mental well-being. Our grandparents lived healthier lives not just because they sweated more than we do but also because they fretted less. Technology helps us get more done in the least possible time, but today's lifestyles mean frazzled nerves for most of us. Unless we work simultaneously toward greater peace of mind, physical fitness alone will be an empty Nirvana. The ancient dictum of a "sound mind in a sound body" has never been more relevant. M. Venkata Krishnan Madras, India...
...feared being targeted by pro-Syrian death squads intent on avenging the cedar revolution protests last spring that prompted Syrian forces to end their 29-year domination of Lebanon. Ghattas Khoury, a defiant Hariri ally, told TIME that Lebanon's future depends on standing up to Hariri's killers. "Unless we reach the truth, there will be no stability in the country," Khoury says. "If they can kill Rafiq Hariri and get away with it, then they can kill anyone and get away with it." But they may not: if Lebanon's ex-security chiefs are convicted, they could face...
...Police reported that a man in Hattiesburg, Miss., shot his sister in the head in a fight over a bag of ice. A rescue team from Texas that had ferried hundreds of people to safety in their flat-bottom boats were told by a New Orleans sheriff that unless they were armed, they should get out of the city.

One man was standing on Canal Boulevard with water...
That said, experts agree, you should "refi smart" by locking in the best rate for the time period you plan to live in the house. "Because your income will probably drop in retirement, don't be seduced by an ARM unless you'll be selling before the rates go up and your income goes down," says Brown. People who fail to factor in closing costs are making an expensive mistake. Smaller monthly payments may look sweet, but if you won't be in the house long enough to recoup those fees, you probably shouldn't be refinancing...
...primaries had been scheduled for spring, ahead of a November general election - the electorate would have a better chance of knowing whether Sharon or Netanyahu had been right about terrorism and Gaza. Currently, Hamas says it'll maintain the "calm" it promised to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas until January. Unless there's a big wave of terror, Sharon won't be compelled to send troops back into Gaza, which would of course be a measure for many Israeli voters of the success or failure of the "disengagement." There's still, of course, the chance that Sharon will leave the Likud...
