...Little Rock is mature and calculating beyond her years, or, as she explains while frisking Tallahassee, "Twelve is the new 20 - gun, please." Wichita, who's about Columbus' age, has had all the world experience he's missed. For Columbus, whose idea of emotional outlawry is to unbuckle his seat belt and whom Wichita refers to as having "the guts of a guppy," she's one more woman to desire and fear. But, hey, the sisters are human. So the twosome become a foursome and head off for Pacific Playland...

The roughly 40,800 people who showed up on Sept. 27 comprised one of the smallest crowds ever to watch a football game there - and reportedly one of the thinnest to attend a Lions home game in 20 years. The game wasn't even televised here: the NFL blocks local television...
...state funding for the domestic private equity sector to supply SMEs with venture capital and other funding. GEM, in particular, is regarded as a platform to jumpstart ventures that could dominate China's post-crisis economic environment, in which heavy industry and manufacturing is supposed to take a back seat to higher "value-added" and consumer-focused businesses. It is no coincidence that some in local media grandly refer to "the search for the next Microsoft" in reports about the new board...
