Special Section--What's Necessary for success?

What do Americans believe is necessary for them to have lived a "successful" life? The options are surprisingly few. What we discovered is that success relates to the following:

· One-third said the health and well-being of their family, or how well they raised their children, would determine their success;
· One out of every four adults defines personal success in terms of tangible outcomes or accomplishments;
· One out of four adults has no idea what would signify that they had lived a successful life;
· Only one out of every fourteen adults said that anything related to spirituality or faith would result in "success."

FUNNY OR JUST PLAIN COOL--Gun-Totting Grandad Gets His Terrorist Squirrel

LONDON (Reuters) - A squirrel which terrorized a British town by attacking people has been shot and killed by the grandfather of its latest victim.

Geoff Horth, enraged by the squirrel biting his two-year-old grand-daughter Kelsi Morley on the face, took up his airgun and hunted down the rogue rodent, the Sun newspaper said on Friday.
