...that you're not really buying a Banana Republic shirt at a cheaper price - you're just getting something else. That's absolutely right, and for me that raises really interesting philosophical issues: When is a brand really a brand? What does it mean to be a Coach bag? What does it mean to be North Face parka? These companies manufacture things specifically for their outlet stores, and they rely on their brand to carry that signal of value.

...heart in cardiac arrest, says Zipes, "looks like a bag of squiggly worms, totally uncoordinated, disorganized, with no effective pumping." In a normal heart, the pumping chambers beat 70 times a minute or so, while an organ in cardiac arrest can spasm anywhere from 400 to 600 times per minute.

That dearth of data has led to a grab bag of speculation about what doomed the four-year-old Airbus A330. Bloggers and aviation experts flit from theory to theory. A terrorist attack?

...shop peacefully together at the mall? Believe it or not, yes. At a New York City shopping center one recent June evening, Adina Armstrong, 13, and her mother Tracy sauntered out of teen retailer Aéropostale, Adina cheerily chirping away on her cell phone, Tracy happily holding a bag full of T shirts. Mom just got Adina two stylish shirts through a buy-one, get-one-free promotion. "What I like about Aéropostale is that when they have a sale, they have a sale," says Tracy.
