...then of course there's something funny about them. They're stupid. They're so helpless. In the books there's scenes where, if people planted cauliflower in their garden, you might find a zombie on its hands and knees, gnawing on a head of cauliflower, having mistaken it for a brain...
...White House's auto-task-force working group is headed by Steve Rattner, a former reporter who was head of the private-equity firm Quadrangle Group, and Ron Bloom, an investment banker who previously worked for the United Steelworkers union. Staffed by about 15 restructuring and other experts, the task force aims to do two things in the weeks ahead. First, it will try to close the deal on Chrysler's sale to Fiat. Sources familiar with the task force's approach describe Chrysler as "hollowed out" by a succession of owners and largely worthless, with no quality brands other...
...developing countries, screening is not that common," says Dr. Rengaswamy Sankaranarayanan, lead author of the study and head of the screening group at the International Agency for Research on Cancer. There are small-scale cancer screening efforts underway primarily in urban areas throughout Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, but they serve only a tiny slice of the population who would benefit, according to Sankaranarayanan. For example, "in India, less than one million pap smears are taken each year," he says, a fraction of the more than 200 million women who are at risk for developing cervical cancer...
...Kravitz and his research team have been documenting, on video, exactly how far fruit flies are willing to go for their prize. In this fight club, the arena is a small dish, in the center of which is either a patch of food or the head of a female. (If she weren't decapitated, she wouldn't stay put, says Kravitz; and the males, being male, don't seem to care that she's not that lively.) Based on hours of footage, Kravitz says that male flies tend to use specific combat skills such as rearing up on their hind...
Another defense for Michelle Obama, of course, is that she is not a subject of the Queen. (Australians, despite referendums attempting to turn themselves into a republic, still recognize the Queen as their head of state.) The First Lady of the United States is not required to curtsey before her or any other crowned head. In any case, the touch lasted just a second or two, and the Queen did not seem particularly perturbed - though she appeared slightly surprised as she drew away. (See how Barack Obama is connected to the Queen via TIME's Person of the Year...
