...Davidowitz notes that a "double whammy" is driving Target down. First, the retailer's product mix is not ideal in this economy. According to Davidowitz, Target devotes some 40% of its shelf space to home and apparel items, which are struggling, while setting aside less than 20% for consumables like food, health items and beauty products. Walmart sets aside 45% of its space for consumables. "Walmart sells what you need to have," says Davidowitz, "as opposed to what you want to have." Not only does Walmart sell more of the grocery items you need - the company is the world...
...jewelry to smaller-ticket gift packages.

I have a whole shelf downstairs dedicated to Sam Loyd, one of the greatest puzzlemakers of all time, particularly of mathematical ones in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. There are literally thousands of newspaper and magazine articles with his puzzles in them. And Mr. Miyamoto had never heard...
...just started skating towards the net, and still no one really came to me,” Rogers said. “It just kind of opened up for me.” Finding no obstruction to the goal, Rogers proceeded to rifle the puck in the top right shelf past Tigers goaltender Zane Kalemba’s shoulder to tie the game up at 1-1.
