Strikers Back at Work After Walkout

Tens of thousands of public sector workers are returning to work following the biggest walkout in a generation which brought disruption to schools, hospitals and other key services across Britain.

Unions hailed Wednesday's "historic" strike as the biggest since the 1979 Winter of Discontent, saying up to two million workers took industrial action over the Government's controversial pension reforms.

Celebrities who've bounced back after pregnancy

Kate Hudson

When actress Kate Hudson had her first son Ryder in January 2004 she struggled to lose the excess baby weight she had gained. But with her second child she didn't gain as much weight so it was easier to shift. She did this by taking daily exercise and following a strict eating regimen. She followed a low carb, high protein diet plan of about 1,500 calories a day and her exercise routine included cardio, yoga and pilates.

Health and fitness consultant James King says of her choice to use pilates to get back into shape: "Pilates is unique in that it changes your body shape without necessarily affecting your weight significantly but rather improving your posture. Weight loss is not one of the 'most efficient' benefits of Pilates."

American Airlines bankruptcy protection: analysts' reaction

Analysts react to the news American Airlines' parent company, AMR, has filed for bankruptcy protection in a New York court.

Michael Linenberg, Deutsche Bank

Quote The read through for the rest of the industry is that today’s bankruptcy filing is specific to AMR and a reflection of the company’s struggles to achieve a more competitive cost and debt structure. In that regard, the US airline industry is on track to generate a net profit in the seasonally-weak December quarter, something that we have observed only twice during the past decade. Furthermore, we expect that AMR’s restructuring will include further rationalization of its network which likely means some capacity cuts.

Watch Pamela Anderson Renting $20,000 Home

Pamela Anderson has been a poster girl for many things, and now she may become the face of the sluggish high-end real estate market. The former "Baywatch" star is offering her vacant Malibu Colony, Calif., home as a short-term rental at $20,000 a week or $75,000 per month. Anderson's listing appears on VRBO.com (for Vacation Rentals by Owner), one of a growing number of sites that seek to help homeowners lease their vacant houses.

While Anderson isn't the first celebrity to rent out her home for income -- many in Malibu and the Hamptons are displaced for the summer by high-paying tenants -- she's certainly the highest-profile personality to enter the short-term rental market without the shield of anonymity. Christine Karpinski, author of "How to Rent Vacation Properties by Owner," calls Anderson's move "brilliant."

In an interview with People, Preston touted the Organic Liaison weight-loss program created by Alley, and has even signed on to become the system’s spokesperson.

Conrad Murray sentencing hearing begins

 The sentencing hearing has begun for Dr. Conrad Murray, who was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of pop icon Michael Jackson. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor could sentence Murray to anything between probation and four years in a state prison.

Jackson's mother, Katherine, was among the late singer's relatives expected to attend the hearing. She said she hopes Murray gets the harshest sentence possible.

Feds crack down on sellers of fake goods

The knockoff designer bags look close enough to the real thing that few would notice at a casual glance. Same goes for the imitation replica football jerseys or popular boots. And the online prices seem too good to pass up.

But the products are fake and the websites selling them are breaking federal law by selling copies of high-end merchandise without giving credit or money to the real designers and creators. And while the products can look as good as the real thing, federal authorities warn that buying fake merchandise can be dangerous.

"Not only is this is a direct threat to American innovation ... but it's also a public safety issue," Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton said Monday as he announced that the government had shut

Oscar Wilde's tomb protected

Merlin Holland, Wilde's grandson, said the lipstick had become a "serious problem" because the grease sinks into the stone. "Every cleaning was causing a bit more stone to wear away," he said.

"No amount of appeals to the public did any good at all. Kissing Oscar's tomb on the Paris tourist circuit has become a cult pastime, which is proving impossible to break. Even if one could catch someone inflagrante delicto – there is a €9,000 (£7,700) fine – most perpetrators are probably tourists, so they would be home before the French authorities could bring them to court.

"From a technical point of view, the tomb is close to being irreparably damaged. Each cleaning has rendered the stone more porous necessitating a yet more drastic cleaning."
