• CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) -- Space shuttle Endeavour apparently doesn't want to leave home.
• NASA's youngest shuttle was supposed to depart Florida's Kennedy Space Center on Monday for its permanent museum home in Los Angeles. But stormy weather along the Gulf of Mexico nixed the travel plans until Wednesday morning.
• The shuttle will be bolted to the top of a modified jumbo jet when it leaves Florida.
• Endeavour will stop off in Houston, home to Mission Control, and fly low over NASA facilities en route. After a stop at Edwards Air Force Base in California, it will arrive at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday, a day later than planned.
• Endeavour, which retired last year, will go on display at the California Science Center.

• NEW YORK (AP) -- A $400 million makeover is giving New York's iconic Macy's store a sleek, new 21st century style.
• And some preservationists aren't happy about it. They see the overhaul of America's biggest department store as scrapping classic Beaux Arts and Art Deco touches in favor of the latest trend in retail design -- something like an Apple computer store.
• "Macy's has Apple fever," said Theodore Grunewald, a New York preservation activist. "Everyone is jealous of Apple, and thinks the secret to the company's success is this beautiful, elegant minimalist design vocabulary they have. But this is about protection of our heritage."
• Macy's reconstruction, to be completed in 2015, will add 100,000 square-feet to the 1.1 million square feet of existing retail space. Floor-to-ceiling fabric shrouds areas under renovation. But some sections have already been finished, including the world's largest women's shoe department, which offers 280,000 pairs of shoes -- several thousand displayed in white settings.
• Macy's spokeswoman Elina Kazan gushes that the store will be a "spectacular place to shop at an iconic New York City destination."
