...Kevin Durant: The hill was the worst by far. No matter how cold it was outside, no matter how hot it was, you had to run. It wasn't just 5 or 10 runs-it was 75, sometimes 100. If my mother came out there, she would double it. If it was 100, it would...
...other end of the line. If the carriers don't step up their service, Google and other Web giants may find alternative routes for getting mobile services into the hands of consumers. Daniel Doutol, co-founder of SpinVox, an innovative voice-messaging startup, says it's just a matter of time before companies like Google and Yahoo! compete more directly with the carriers. Both portals, like Apple, have fiercely loyal fans. About 55% of those asked in a survey by Equs Group, a market research firm, said they would happily buy a Google or Yahoo-branded phone...
...deal that was eventually abrogated after the U.S. accused the North of conducting a secret program to enrich uranium for bombs. The level of mistrust on both sides is deep and abiding.

...There are other potential snags ahead. Critics in Washington say the North will never surrender all of its nuclear weapons, no matter what the incentives.

But if Kim does indeed shut down his reactor next month, that will, undeniably, represent...
...angry lot, are no more forgettable than what we hear regularly on the radio. But most of the songs, co-written by Clarkson, rely on wide-screen, processed production gimmicks, rather than genuine hooks. And as any pop Svengali knows, making a pop record is as much a matter of craft and precision as it is eccentricities. It's about the thin line between hackwork and magic. As much as one can applaud Clarkson for wanting to be taken seriously, neither pop nor rock should sound as labored as most of My December. A Svengali might have also talked...
