...been racing on the top circuit for eight years now. How long do you see yourself doing this? I don't have a year, or an age that I'm focused on. Right now, I want to think it can go on forever. But at some point, I'm sure the schedule will catch up, and the fire will start to go out. Some can guys step out, some guys can't. We've all watched Brett Favre and the last few years of his career. Mark Martin, my teammate, is one of those guys. He's tried retiring since...
...main reasons bad old habits have lingered is that despite the gains of the past decade or so, the same few families and business groups continue to control the region's economy. The 14 clans that commanded El Salvador's vital coffee industry, for instance, have morphed into eight conglomerates in recent years, but they still have a choke hold on the country's finances. In Honduras, such tycoons as José Rafael Ferrari and Freddy Nasser monopolize sectors like broadcasting and energy - and, say analysts, continue to exert incredible influence on the government.

...most recent study, published in November, researchers at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, reported they had successfully gotten monkeys to grow bigger, stronger muscles within weeks - no anabolic steroids, exercise or genetic engineering required. Scientists injected genes directly into the right quadriceps of six healthy monkeys, and eight weeks later, the changes were plainly visible. The muscles in each monkey's right leg were larger and measurably more forceful than those in the left leg, and the effects remained for 15 months...
