Maybe Pepsi's spiffy new logo will help restore normal service. The No. 2 sodamaker spent more than $1 million developing its latest look and may soon spend as much as $1 billion changing all its vending machines and global signage to the new design. It's the 11th time in Pepsi's 110-year history that the company has revamped its logo, and the first since 1987. Some have likened the look to President-elect Barack Obama's rising-sun-over-the-horizon campaign iconography. Although there's no evidence that Pepsi modeled its logo on Obama...

...eastern Mediterranean roughly between 11,500 and 15,000 years ago. Located near other burial sites, the woman's body was distinctly encased in a limestone enclosure, a tomb sealed by a rock slab that Grosman's team managed to lift in 2006. The following two years were spent painstakingly analyzing the remains found within. Pieces of jewelry, ornamental seashells, or the odd tool have been found in other Natufian graves, but the careful arrangement of the woman's body - her back rested against a wall, legs spread and bent inward from the knee - as well as the surrounding ring...
