...years after the original pilot aired, change has come to the iconic California zip code, in the form of grownups with character arcs, lead cast members of color you can't get in a tanning booth, recreational YouTubing and espresso drinks. "Fans of the original show will be taken aback at first," says Jennie Garth, returning as Kelly Taylor, now a guidance counselor at West Beverly High and a single mom. Those who remember Kelly's date rape, diet-pill addiction, amnesia, miscarriage, cult membership and house-fire episodes will be glad to know her biggest problem now is finding...
...also the best time of year to drop by. Not only is winter the cheapest time to get to this expensive Nordic nation, 101, the postal code and nickname of the capital city's oldest neighborhood, is at its best in its darkest and coldest moments, when its back alleys, mom-and-pop fishmongers and bite-size pubs tap into the charisma of one of Europe's most storied neighborhoods.

Keeping the youngest competitors from the rigorous world of international competition is supposed to protect them from dangerous, potentially life-long injuries. In that respect, age doping is no different from other illegal performance enhancing tactic - not only...
...Carnival, clothing tends to be an optional accoutrement. Beach volleyball's female athletes oblige by wearing as little as the cheerleaders. Yes, that means sand - particularly on a rainy day like the Aug. 21 women's final - can sneak its way into uncomfortable places. But the dress code of the athletes helps define the overall ambience. At the table tennis, for instance, the athletes tend to wear shapeless shirts with shorts of a distressingly outdated fashion. Is it any surprise that table-tennis is not a sport at which the fans swing their hips to an internal salsa beat...
