...Last night's event was much better than the first time I saw Rowling, last summer at Radio City Music Hall for a reading. Back then, in between the sixth and seventh books, she found it very hard to say anything (though her big declaration was also about Dumbledore - that he was definitely dead). The half-answers and stalling were frustrating, albeit necessary, and she clearly felt confined by it.

...probably never seen an RFID tag, but chances are there's one within 10 ft. of you. An RFID tag--it stands for radio-frequency identification--is a tiny device consisting of a very small chip attached to a very small antenna.

Some prototype RFID tags are about the size of a grain...
There are lots of TV stars. What made Hannah/Miley a phenom was Disney's learning to use its vast, multimedia holdings.

...email to staff, BBC Director-General Mark Thompson said the job cuts - part of a six-year reform plan to cover a $4.8 billion funding shortfall - would be achieved primarily by integrating existing programming. Currently, separate journalists and producers from various radio and television stations often cover the same topic. BBC employees will soon be required to work across all media to help reduce this duplication. The BBC will close 2,500 job posts in the next six years while creating 700 posts, resulting in a net loss of 1,800 staff...
