...York City-based writer Colin Beavan was casting around for a new book idea a few years ago - and fretting over the state of the planet - when he had an epiphany. He and his family - wife Michelle and baby daughter Isabella - would live for an entire year while making as little impact on the environment as possible. That meant no motorized transportation, no elevators, no nonlocal food, no caffeine and (eventually) no electricity. TIME talked to Colin and Michelle about the new book and documentary on their green year, No Impact Man, and why pulling the plug on modern life...
...first week of unemployment was hard to take. Fortunately, Whitfield has a wife, Debbie, who earns $39,000 a year as an accountant for the local county government. The couple didn't have to worry about losing their cozy, well-kept home or being able to take care of their 4-year-old son Logan. After Brian's eight-week severance ran out, he started collecting unemployment insurance and the Whitfields began reining in spending to cover what they expect will be a 40% drop in income this year.

...successful extract-making company called Reynold’s. Joel has a BMW, a beautiful home, and an offer from General Mills to buy his company, but alas, none of this matters to Joel; he’s mostly concerned about not getting laid.

In a national survey by CNN, 2 out of 3 of those watching said they might favor his health-care proposal, which was a 14-point jump from before the President gave the address on Sept. 9 to a packed House chamber. But as Bill Clinton - or his wife, the Secretary of State, who was sitting in the front row - could tell Obama, it's best not to get too euphoric at the way a speech can make the numbers jump. After all, Clinton got virtually the identical result the day after he gave a similar speech...
Although he's busy, Potter now earns far less than he did at Cigna, where he made "in the six figures." He's a nonsalaried consultant for the Center for Media and Democracy but has health-insurance coverage through his wife, who manages a Banana Republic store. It's a low-cost, high-deductible plan - a model that provides coverage for catastrophic illness but kicks in only after the policyholder spends thousands of dollars out of pocket first. In other words, it's an insurance-industry-friendly model that companies like Cigna would like to see spread under health-reform...
