...FlyBy is back for the summer! Sporadically, that is. We don't have as many people, so it's hard to keep up, ya know? We'll try to keep you intermittently entertained as you're chained to that desk, and figure we haven't hit it big enough yet to be blocked by your I-bank's servers. Also, we don't have real jobs, that pay, like, enough money to eat at Qdoba every day...soooo we have really nothing else...

I have nothing but respect for people like Cameron Diaz, who say, "I might not have kids. Deal with it. And I haven't found a man yet. That's fine." There's Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston, Kylie, the lot of them...
...claims its ambitions are peaceful. And the clock is ticking; after Iran holds presidential elections on June 12 (with a second round, if needed, on June 19), the U.S. and Europe will again push for talks on the nuclear issue, senior Administration officials say. If Tehran's diplomats haven't shown a real willingness to respond by September, the U.S. and Europe will announce tough new sanctions. The urgency comes from the possibility that with its centrifuges spinning day and night, Iran could have enough low-enriched uranium to make the highly enriched fuel for a nuclear weapon, according...
