By choosing a studio that measures just 12 feet by 7 feet, Felice Cohen can afford to live in Manhattan's Upper West Side where apartments rent for an average of $3,600 per month. She pays just over $700 for her 90-square-foot microstudio.
After a bit of adjustment she now loves living smaller, simpler and cozier.

NYTimes Starts Roll Out Pay Wall
An important announcement from the publisher of The New York Times
Dear New York Times Reader,
Today marks a significant transition for The New York Times as we introduce digital subscriptions. It’s an important step that we hope you will see as an investment in The Times, one that will strengthen our ability to provide high-quality journalism to readers around the world and on any platform. The change will primarily affect those who are heavy consumers of the content on our Web site and on mobile applications.
This change comes in two stages. Today, we are rolling out digital subscriptions to our readers in Canada, which will enable us to fine-tune the customer experience before our global launch. On March 28, we will begin offering digital subscriptions in the U.S. and the rest of the world.
If you are a home delivery subscriber of The New York Times, you will continue to have full and free access to our news, information, opinion and the rest of our rich offerings on your computer, smartphone and tablet. International Herald Tribune subscribers will also receive free access to NYTimes.com.
If you are not a home delivery subscriber, you will have free access up to a defined reading limit. If you exceed that limit, you will be asked to become a digital subscriber.
This is how it will work, and what it means for you:
On NYTimes.com, you can view 20 articles each month at no charge (including slide shows, videos and other features). After 20 articles, we will ask you to become a digital subscriber, with full access to our site.
On our smartphone and tablet apps, the Top News section will remain free of charge. For access to all other sections within the apps, we will ask you to become a digital subscriber.
The Times is offering three digital subscription packages that allow you to choose from a variety of devices (computer, smartphone, tablet). More information about these plans is available at nytimes.com/access.
Again, all New York Times home delivery subscribers will receive free access to NYTimes.com and to all content on our apps. If you are a home delivery subscriber, go to homedelivery.nytimes.com to sign up for free access.
Readers who come to Times articles through links from search, blogs and social media like Facebook and Twitter will be able to read those articles, even if they have reached their monthly reading limit. For some search engines, users will have a daily limit of free links to Times articles.
The home page at NYTimes.com and all section fronts will remain free to browse for all users at all times.
For more information, go to nytimes.com/digitalfaq.
Thank you for reading The New York Times, in all its forms.
Sincerely,
Arthur Sulzberger Jr.
Publisher, The New York Times
Chairman, The New York Times Company

Sheen, Fired, Moves From TV to Twitter
Show now One-and-a-half men
Charlie Sheen was fired Monday by Warner Bros., but isn’t going away — yet.
Jon Friedman's Media Web at marketwatch.com reports Warner Bros. Television said it fired Sheen after “careful consideration.”
Meanwhile, the embattled star of CBS’s “Two and a Half Men” has snared his first Twitter sponsorship, the online site Internships.com, The Wall Street Journal reported. The Journal noted that Sheen has had a powerful and conspicuous presence on Twitter since he introduced his account on March 1 with help from Los Angeles-based Ad.ly, a start-up that arranges social-media endorsements for prominent brands.
Sheen has attracted a great deal of attention from the media over his actions. “Saturday Night Live” opened the most recent show with a hilarious spoof of Sheen repeatedly reciting the catch phrase, “Winning!”
At the same time, he has caused observers to question his stability and recognition of his demons. Sheen has insisted that he has his life under control, despite a wild and crazy lifestyle.
It remains open to speculation whether the actor can ever rebuild his career in front of the camera. Sheen has remained a charismatic figure, and America loves a comeback. So, he still has a shot at redemption in Hollywood. He wouldn’t be the first troubled star who has turned it around.
Sheen has wooed more than 2 million followers, “setting a record for the fastest-growing Twitter account in history,” according to The Journal. Sheen tweeted on Monday: “I’m looking for hire a #Winning INTERN with #TigerBlood.”
Sheen, whose antics prompted CBS to pull the plug on the production of the remaining 2010-11 episodes of the popular comedy, has given television interview after interview in the hope of showing America that he is still relevant.

‘All Hell Is Breaking Loose'
If major unrest occurs in Saudi Arabia on March 11
Here’s something Americans should certainly keep their eyes on — the potential for unrest in Saudi Arabia, which the United States imports more oil from than any other country outside of North America.
Fox News Channel contributor Charles Krauthammer warned of that potential on Wednesday night’s “Special Report Online,” aired on FoxNews.com, but said that a plot to overthrow the Saudi government could be foiled by the Saudis’ intelligence apparatus.

Is The World Becoming A Freak Show?
"The fight started when the couple realized that they had no maple syrup for their pancakes. They asked the table over if they could have some of theirs because their pancakes wouldn't taste the same without the maple syrup and one of the two girls response was "bitch, your pancakes look fine to me!" And from there, all hell broke loose."
Because that is what really happened...

Hockey Teams Brawl 3 Times in 4 Seconds
It may have been the longest four seconds to ever start a game. At least it felt like it.
Last night’s Dallas Stars-Boston Bruins game began not with one, not with two, but with three fist fights in the first four seconds.

'Terrible Towel' is made in ... Wisconsin

That makes Super Bowl XLV a dream match-up for Gregg McArthur, president of McArthur Towel & Sports in Baraboo, Wisc.
He's a diehard fan of the Green Bay Packers. And, he's making lots of money selling Terrible Towels to the other side. Orders, he said, are coming in at a "feverish pace."
The company is also cranking out "Title Town USA" towels, in honor of the Packers. McArthur admits that the Steelers' version remains more popular, but, he says, make no mistake about the game.

2011: Beginning Of The End of Credit Cards?
(CNNMoney) -- Credit cards may soon be as outdated as vinyl records. (Remember those?) And this is the year that the slow, steady march to oblivion begins.
You can already use your iPhone, Droid or BlackBerry to buy a hotdog at the ballgame, buy your Starbucks latté, or give a friend a few bucks by Bumping phones. But by the end of the year you may not even think twice about reaching for your phone to pay at the register instead of fumbling for your credit card.
