...Movie Awards. He brought them to Michaels, who hired Samberg as a cast member and the other two as writers. Their humor, like a lot of those involved in channel101.com is playful, loose and not overthought. For his SNL audition, Samberg did an impression of an '80s jogger, which mainly consisted of wearing short shorts and breathing heavily while talking about the recession. "His comedy doesn't come from a place of anger," says Michaels. "He's got a kind of sweetness...
...seems to contradict previous criminal confessions. In recent years, new DNA sequencing technology has allowed the American justice system to right more than 150 wrongful convictions--and almost a quarter of those had been based on a false confession. The most high-profile example is the 1989 Central Park jogger case, in which five teenagers who had confessed to raping a woman were cleared 13 years later after DNA analysis of evidence couldn't link them to the crime scene...

The combative tone suggested to many that Sarkozy, who as head of the governing Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) is already eyeing the 2007 presidential elections, is gunning for the hard...
...exhaustion. What a wuss. For today's extreme-endurance athletes, Pheidippides' fatal exertion would be a gentle warm-up. The real challenge is found in ultramarathons?races of up to 100 km (62 miles) or even farther, often over the kind of rough terrain that would make the average jogger hang up his sneakers in horror. Ultrarunners endure cramps, blisters, dehydration and the occasional exhaustion-induced hallucination. Why? All for the pleasure of more running. "It's a desire to go beyond your comfort level and test your own boundaries," says Dean Karnazes, champion ultrarunner and author of the best...
