A crucial tool in controlling diabetes is being vigilant about what you put in your mouth. But, some experts say, you don't have to be a slave to the glycemic index or banish cake and ice cream forever. The primary goal for diabetics is to regulate their blood glucose (sugar) levels because they can't rely on their bodies to naturally produce enough insulin, the hormone that shuttles glucose from the bloodstream into cells. With Type 1 diabetes, the pancreas stops making insulin, while with Type 2,...

Lots of ink and pixels have been devoted to the quest for an answer to the question, "When is the best time to buy airline tickets?"

Nevertheless, folks keep trying, and you might want to check out the possibilities. The latest information comes from the online travel agency, CheapAir.com, focused on how far in advance the...

BERLIN (Reuters) - A new novel about a neo-Nazi plot to assassinate Germany's first Jewish candidate for Chancellor has shed a timely light on the right-wing extremist violence that has plagued the country since 1990 and was swept under the carpet for years. Political thriller "The Jewish Candidate" by British journalist David Crossland has been published just as Germany's September election campaign is heating up and at the start of a trial of a neo-Nazi cell blamed for a...

The Internal Revenue Service scandal now devouring the Obama administration - the outrageous use of the federal taxing authority to target tea party and other conservatives - certainly makes for meaty partisan politics. But this scandal is about more than partisanship. It's bigger than whether the Republicans win or the Democrats lose. It's even bigger than President Barack Obama. Yes, bigger than Obama. It is opening American eyes to the fundamental...

Shoot the Women First By Eileen MacDonald Random House, 256 pages, $20 Women terrorists, it is said, are even more ruthless than their male counterparts-so dangerous that some police units have been instructed to shoot the women first.

By Billy Cheung NEW YORK, May 23 (Reuters) - Award-winning author James Salter, who completed his last full-length book more than 30 years ago, has released a new novel that chronicles a life drawn from many of his own experiences.

- The push to pass a more restrictive concealed carry measure stalled late last week as support began to drop off before a key vote in the Illinois Senate. The legislation represents the latest attempt to address a federal appeals court order setting a June 9 deadline for Illinois to fashion a new law that would allow citizens to carry concealed weapons in public. Illinois is the only state in the nation that does not have some form of concealed carry law on the books. Shortly after the...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - In an unusual move before a trial, a federal judge expressed a tentative view that the U.S. Justice Department will be able to show evidence that Apple Inc engaged in a conspiracy with publishers to increase e-book prices. U.S. District Judge Denise Cote, who is set to oversee a trial on June 3, gave her view during a pretrial hearing on Thursday. While she stressed that the view was not final and that she had read only some of the evidence so far, her...

Q: I am successfully retired after making very good personal money decisions for 50 years. I think I've only made three huge mistakes: I did not buy Home Depot in 1981 after getting solid advice to buy it; I did not buy gold at around $100 ounce; and I purchased a timeshare. I need advice on how to get rid of the timeshare and not leave this mess for my heirs. There are so many "deals" on Internet to take this off my hands, but I do not know whom to trust. A: We regularly get...

Save big on your next flight with these insider tips Travel plans are calling for more belt-tightening than usual these days, making budget vacations extremely desirable. But such trips aren't possible if you pay too much for airfare. And unless you know where to look, finding affordable flights can be a huge hassle. "For the airlines, it's about getting you to pay the most you're willing to pay, which is the opposite of what the consumer wants," says Joe Brancatelli,...

We talk about books every week in this space, but most of time it's about the words inside them. This week, we have to discuss them as objects, more precisely as objects that should be stored in specific - very specific - ways. Some designers are apparently recommending shelving books with the spines hidden, so all that can be seen are the pages. This is supposed to create a "monochromatic" background against which accent pieces can be incorporated. This piece first ran in...

Earlier this month, I got an email from a librarian in Kansas. My name had been recommended by an author she'd worked with in the past. This librarian was organizing a program at her school that would take place during the American Library Association's Banned Books Week. Her event was called "The Right to Read" and she invited me to speak to her eighth-graders on the topic of censorship and teen books. This was an irresistible invitation. I write novels for young people and manage a high...
