...state troopers and agents from 80 federal agencies routinely hop on random flights. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) thinks it's high time its security measures reflected those changes. So, as the agency confirmed last week, it is re-evaluating its list of prohibited items, a move supported by veteran security experts.

...APPOINTED. SHINZO ABE, 51, as Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary, and TARO ASO, 65, as Foreign Minister; as part of a cabinet shuffle by Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi; in Tokyo.

"This customer has a hard time finding clothes that fulfill all her needs," says Gary Muto, a 17-year Gap veteran who was named president of Forth & Towne last September. "And they all don't lead the exact same life. They are career women, stay-at-home moms and everything in between." Maybe apparel marketers will finally be able to answer that nagging question: What do women really want...
...knocked down another Raimondi offering, but it fell at the feet of Johnston, who quickly shuttled it to fast-starting freshman Sarah Wilson for the finish and her fifth goal of the young season. With the assist, Raimondi wrapped up a seven-point weekend that emphasized the importance of veteran leadership on the squad.“[Raimondi’s] out there quarterbacking what’s going on and so are a lot of these older kids and we need that,” Stone said. “We need these kids stepping up.
