...becoming the first city anywhere to win a Grammy Award, and one for American blues music to boot. This week, Aulnay officials announced that the town had been nominated for a Grammy by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences in the U.S. for the CD Chicago Blues: A Living History. The reason: town officials organized, co-produced and co-financed the 2008 recording, which features famous blues musicians like Billy Boy Arnold, Billy Branch, Lurrie Bell and John Primer paying tribute to the historical development and musical giants of the genre. Now that the CD has been chosen...

To do so, they arranged for the festival's featured musicians to lay down 21 tracks in a Chicago studio. Shortly thereafter, Chicago Blues: A Living History was released...

Find a role for Sophia Loren! Cast Kidman as an amalgam of Claudia Cardinale and Anita Ekberg! And, just as anachronistic, have people sing their troubles...
Study author Brent Edwards, now at the University of Illinois in Chicago, says he "would never recommend stride reduction to a competitive runner," but he suggests the technique for people with a history of stress fractures, like former athletes. The biggest risk factor for stress fractures, he notes, is simply having had such a fracture in the past. But the best advice for runners wishing to reduce injuries is to keep running; that is, run consistently and avoid long periods of inactivity. That may be especially hard during the snowy winter months, but runners should...
