...when Osama bin Laden was spotted in Afghanistan by an unarmed Predator, the U.S. government sped up a program to fit each aircraft with two Hellfire missiles. Awesome sounding but benign looking, the 27-ft.-long Predator is painted a dull gray and shaped like an upside-down spoon with wings. The drone is made of lightweight composite plastic and metal and has a tiny, propeller-driven engine--adapted from a snowmobile's--with a decidedly unimpressive top speed of only 150 m.p.h. Rogers' previous craft, the supersonic F-15 jet fighter, can fly up to 900 m.p.h...
...change in schedule or space," says Maureen O'Brien, a developmental psychologist. For younger babies, the challenge is maintaining their schedule. Mentally scroll through your routine and remember to bring any item intimately involved with getting your child to eat, sleep or settle down: a favorite spoon, a comfort toy or a familiar lullaby tape...
...many actors, that chain of events is a dream come true. Ledger is not one of them. "In a way, I was spoon-fed, if you will, a career.

Known best for their spare sound and danceable backbeats, the foursome from Texas delivered on both counts, mixing most of the songs on their recent “Gimme Fiction” LP, with at least one song from each of their past releases. Luckily...
...download, however. At the moment, Sprint says it has 250,000 songs for sale. I did some random searching, and had a hard time pinpointing what, exactly, this 250,000 consisted of. Searches for Dire Straits, Jamiroquai or the Decemberists turned up nothing; searches for Rolling Stones and Spoon gave me one song each (actually, a Dr. Dre remix of a Stones song and a Spoon track from a TV show compilation). I did find more songs when I typed in 10,000 Maniacs, Steely Dan, Eminem and Wilco...
