Sophomore Janna McDougall was not to be left out of the mix, triumphing in both the 50-freestyle and the 200-backstroke, as well as taking part in the winning 200-medley relay. In the 200-backstroke, only two events after she already motored her way to a 24.44 win in the 50-freestyle, McDougall's smooth strokes looked effortless as she smoked the competition to finish...
...this heady mix of circus and educational extravaganza that draws visitors to a spectacular new science center that opened last week in Columbus, Ohio. Called COSI (Center of Science and Industry), the $125 million facility is a jewel of innovation--a place that its president, former space-shuttle astronaut Kathryn Sullivan, says "persuades people that the words science, learning and fun actually do belong in the same sentence." The anchor for a $2 billion downtown economic-redevelopment program, the complex occupies a 17-acre site along the Scioto River in a once blighted neighborhood that is already brimming with...

How come a priest can mix religion and jokes, but if I do it, I'm anti-Catholic? That just burns my ass, because I'm out there trying to get people to think about God. I am working the good cause--and I'm anti-Catholic? I tithe! I don't bend down and tie my shoe when the basket comes around...
...want to show people that we are a very mixed-race band from NYC. Do you know the Benetton company? Their ads always put people of different races together, we're like that, we are the Benetton band. We are all proud to have this mix. We are enjoying it, that we can make one thing from five different things. It might be difficult for politics, but I think it benefits our music...
