...forces assembled against print media scored a big scalp on Monday when Condé Nast announced that Gourmet magazine was finished. The 68-year-old foodie look book will close after the publication of its November issue, although the title will live on in books and on TV shows and some of its content will be folded into Epicurious.com...
Dollar Tree tends to look for locations in suburban shopping areas, near a Walmart, Target, Sam's Club or a large grocery chain, in an effort to lure bargain-seeking customers from these stores. "If we are where the shoppers are anyway, it's a win-win for the customer, and for us," says Reid.

...Hispanic Center released a study of first-, second- and third-generation Hispanics in the U.S. - a look at how the Latin-American population has grown and assimilated over the past three decades. As recently as 1980, just 9% of U.S. kids under 18 were Hispanic, compared with 22% today.

...photograph of Shields, taken in 1975 with the consent of Shields' mother, is by New York-based photographer Garry Gross. Gross told the Daily Telegraph he was disappointed that the photo was taken down and did not consider it pornographic, though "she was supposed to look like a sexy woman." The image removed from the Tate is actually a photo of that photo: in 1983, artist Richard Prince took a photograph of Gross's original photo, framed it, and titled it Spiritual America. And though it hasn't been censored before, it's not the first time it has stirred...
