...wholesale chains, Bailey's has partnered with scientists at the University of Minnesota and the University of Georgia to design hybrid plants that would eventually take the place of invasive species. The company already sells hybrids that flower longer and smaller (to accommodate cramped outdoor spaces) and have richer color, but it hopes to create new breeds engineered for sterility that way, the garden blooms won't bud anywhere but in your backyard...
...While Tenmyouya's work is troubling, Machida's demented and deformed dolls are probably among the most disturbing images you will see from neo-nihonga artists today-as well as the most accomplished.

Another Lacroix signature - the mixing of rough and fine materials - appeared early...
...exuberance was missing. The injury had prohibited him from eating a hot dog in more than two weeks, which clearly affected his confidence. But his traditional Beckham-like penchant for hair flair - last year he dyed his thinly cropped head mustard yellow to match the color of the championship belt - was also nowhere to be seen...
