...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.

There are several inevitabilities of modern life: death, taxes - and, for the moment, ATM fees.

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...
