On the left we have Kate Middleton, known officially as the Duchess of Cambridge, but also, you know, Prince William's incredibly stylish new bride. She was spotted rocking this pretty number with her long, enviable, blown-out locks a'flowing and her radiant, tanned skin a'glowing. She and Wills were having dinner at the Waterside Inn in Bray, Berkshire as part of Prince Philip's 90th birthday celebration and the dress was such a smart choice; the color is so festive and the cut is so family dinner-appropriate.

Inflatable Shark Among 300 New Species Discovered in Philippines
A treasure trove of hundreds of new species may have been discovered in the Philippines, including a bizarre sea star that feeds exclusively on sunken driftwood and a deep-sea, shrimp-eating shark that swells up to scare off other predators.
Scientists braved leeches and a host of venomous creatures from the mountains to the sea to uncover more than 300 species that are likely new to science. These findings include dozens of new insects and spiders, more than 50 colorful new sea slugs and a number of deep-sea armored corals "which protect themselves against predatory nibbles from fish by growing large, spiky plates," said researcher Terrence Gosliner, dean of science and research collections at the California Academy of Sciences and leader of the 2011 Philippine Biodiversity Expedition.
Researchers at the California Academy of Sciences and their colleagues from the University of the Philippines and the National Museum of the Philippines conducted a 42-day expedition this past spring to survey Luzon Island, the largest island in the Philippine archipelago, as well as its surrounding waters.

Walmart Canada signs deal with Target Canada for 39 Zellers locations
MISSISSAUGA, Ont. - Walmart has signed a deal with Target Canada to take over leases at up to 39 stores currently operated by Zellers Inc., the discount retailer Target is acquiring in in its expansion into Canada.
Terms of the transaction, announced Friday, were not disclosed.
Target signed a deal earlier this year to take over up to 220 Zellers locations from Hudson's Bay Co. for more than $1.8 billion.
Target announced the first 105 Zellers locations that it plans to convert to Target stores last month in conjunction with an initial payment.
The U.S.-based retailer is expected to continue to select additional locations before it makes a second payment in the fall.
Zellers locations that Target acquires, but does not convert to its banner, are expected to be leased back to Zellers or potentially other retailers.
For Walmart, Friday's deal could lead to a major expansion of the company in Canada, where it is already the biggest retailer in revenues and this country's third-largest employer, with 85,000 workers.
Woman finds son she gave up for adoption 36 years ago on Facebook
Liverpool courier Pat Corlett logged into Facebook one day to find a message from a stranger waiting for her.Chris Haworth, 36, wrote "Hi my name is Chris and I was born on 22nd June 1975. You may not want to reply to this ..."
The last time Pat had seen Chris — known then as David — was when he was six days old and she was giving him up for adoption.
"It was like a bomb going off, but a nice bomb," Pat, 54, said of the unexpected contact.
Chris told his birth mother that he enjoyed a happy childhood with his adoptive family, and now works as a coach driver. He kept David as his middle name.
Pat had long wondered what happened to the little boy she gave up when she was just 18, but was hesitant to search for him.

Canada's most frequently stolen cars
First, the good news: car thefts in Canada are on the decline. But the bad news is StatsCan latest numbers show over 108,000 vehicles were stolen in 2009 - obviously still a lot of cars.
The Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) published its list of the top 10 most frequently stolen vehicles, a list that includes an equal number of older import brands and luxury SUVs. Often those vehicles, particularly high-value cars like the Hummer H2 and the Cadillac Escalade, are exported out of the country, which in years past would have meant they were gone forever. But the federal government's passage of Bill S-9 - a law that gives the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) increased authority to seize stolen cars meant for export - has helped stem the flow of contraband cars out of the country, particularly at ports in Montreal and Halifax. In fact, IBC reports it recovered $30.7 million dollars worth of vehicles, including the seizure of 600 automobiles meant for export.
