...Thursday's selling didn't have the resolute quality of the day before - it was a halting affair all morning and seemed to be sputtering by lunch. The 3200 (OK, 3100-ish) mark is still a tech milestone investors take quite seriously, probably more so if it holds up this week. Chipmakers, PC makers, software makers, portals - they've all gotten a comeuppance in the last month or so, and this week it looks like fiber optics/networking, the "infrastructure" companies of the Internet, is getting its fair share...

Butts--whose book OK, So Now You're a Vegetarian, the first vegetarian cookbook by a teen for teens, was published in August--is part of a small but fast-growing movement among kids ages 6 to 18. More Americans are choosing to cut out red meat. But kids, spurred by everything from a love of animals to trendiness to a concern for the environment, are adopting various forms of vegetarianism at higher rates than ever--often independent of their carnivorous parents...
