...1500m, Albertine placed fifth, just behind Steve Magness of Rice—who registered the fastest high school mile time in the country last year by running it in 4:01. Albertine came through the finish line at 3:59.10—on pace for a personal record in the mile, which is only 100m longer...
...activities for Hamas "are what give me satisfaction and peace in my heart," he said, explaining, "I work in making rockets." Salama is in charge of lengthening the range of the five-mile Qassam II rocket, using information he gleans from the Internet and technical manuals that "outside sources" smuggle into the Strip. Since Israel uncovered and smashed many of Gaza's munitions workshops last year, his cell crafts its rockets in a variety of small rooms inside civilian apartments scattered through pro-Hamas neighborhoods.

...these days, the question "Shall we dance?" is both an invitation and a challenge. Hip-hop dance battles?much like the M.C. face-offs in the film 8 Mile?are becoming mainstream.

After a day of battle, the army commander called in helicopter gunships, jets and artillery. By Saturday night a cloud of dust hung over the area, but the army had still not defeated the militants...
There is little substance in Hidalgo. Ostensibly, the film is based on the true story of Frank Hopkins (Viggo Mortensen), a long-distance horse-racer who is invited to partake in “the Ocean of Fire,” a 3,000-mile horse race across the Arabian Peninsula. Hopkins’ horse, Hidalgo, is a mustang, a wild mixed-breed horse that was introduced to the Americas with the arrival of the Spaniards to the New World. In the world of horse racing these mixed-breeds are considered, according to the movie, unworthy to share the road...
