...fantasies, most of which tend to be appallingly formulaic. At least, and this is something to be grateful for, Bride Wars deviates from the usual wedding-flick routine of maids of honor who should be the bride (or groom). And even though the catfighting goes over the top, the notion that a passionate female friendship can turn ugly in a heartbeat is, sadly, realistic. Women friends have a sharp sense of one another's soft underbelly, and what we love about our best girlfriends can easily be turned into ammunition following a betrayal. We know how to hurt one another...
...particularly in places like Texas' hill country, where at holiday time the ubiquitous roadside deer-warning signs are decorated with round red stickers by an anonymous artist in an homage to Rudolph, the most famous deer of all. So plentiful are the white-tailed deer in Texas that the notion of smuggling deer into the state seems absurd - yet this growing and lucrative illegal trade, with its threat of devastating disease, is challenging federal and state wildlife officers across the country...
...think it's possible to worry and then figure out what to do. We're learning a whole series of lessons now, like you don't want to create shadow banking systems without enough capital.

Everyone now says we should act preemptively against bubbles...
Original estimates of the solar system's speed were based on what Reid calls "one-dimensional velocity" obtained solely from Doppler shifts. "Now," he says, "we have three-dimensional velocity and more exact measurements" - a huge advancement in the field. The findings debunk the notion that the Milky Way is a little-sister galaxy to her neighbor Andromeda. "They're more like fraternal twins," Reid says. And the fact that they are of equal size increases the likelihood that the two will someday collide. (See the Top 50 space moments since Sputnik...
...26/11, mirroring America’s 9/11. And the rhetoric as a whole is eerily similar to that used by the American media preceding the invasion of Iraq.The link doesn’t completely hold, though, and that’s because an Indian newspaper has a slightly different notion of what an article should be than an American newspaper does. Reading a piece in The Times of India (the world’s top-selling English language broadsheet, with a circulation of two and a half million) is like listening to a very informed, very opinionated friend chattering into...
