...Clyde Sommers, a Star Market produce veteran, has had a lot of experience with shelf life and death. His personal recommendation for dorm-room shelves is the jicama. "It's like a potato inside. You can eat it like a mini carrot, and dip it in things." Other non-perishable fresh foods tend to be roots with dense textures, including the yucca, celery root and horseradish...
There are several inevitabilities of modern life: death, taxes - and, for the moment, ATM fees. Monday, a federal judge in San Francisco issued a preliminary injunction against a ban on ATM banking fees that city residents approved earlier this month. The measure would block "double dip" charges, fees levied on consumers who use cash machines belonging to banks other than their own.

Prescott knew Luzhkov wanted to meet with Clinton and asked Tony if he could set it up, according to Tony. Former White House officials...
...reason for the high burden of proof is that the state gives the school $3.8 million a year--no strings attached. And while there are no district funds to dip into for facilities or special education budget, there is also no regulating, Board-of-Education-like bureacracy that approves budget items...
