In order to implement its "Project Impact" plan, which called for less clutter in the aisles and more space given to other product categories like toys and electronics, the store offered a narrower selection of brands and package sizes in its grocery section, which accounted for some 45% of its store space.

But that mantra has already begun, with...

Centcom chief General David Petraeus was blunt about the impact on his mission of the Israeli-Palestinian impasse in testimony submitted to U.S. Senators on Tuesday: "The enduring hostilities between Israel and some of its neighbors present distinct challenges to our ability to advance our interests in the AOR," Petraeus said in prepared remarks, adding, "The conflict foments anti-American sentiment, due to a perception...
