...cheapest tickets to see Britney Spears perform at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. on April 20 cost $36.50. But that's not what you'll end up paying.

...budget for the Olympics during lean times? Some $13.8 billion in public funds has been allocated to the London Games, a huge jump from the $5 billion that was budgeted in 2005.

Nearly a third of the 35 dogs cloned by Lee's team, for instance, are sniffers, and no wonder: South Korea's customs service reportedly...
...Biden, unveiling the broad contours of Obama's new foreign policy framework, made clear that the cost to Europe for a greater share in the decision-making would be a willingness to shoulder a greater share of the burden. While pledging to abide by international rules, fight climate change, engage with the Islamic world and "press the reset button" with Russia, Biden warned that Washington would also expect changes from Europe.
