...fast enough, high enough, scared enough yet? Are we pulling enough G's? Following Thursday's death in Orlando of a 12-year-old boy who collapsed after riding Walt Disney World's Rock 'N' Roller Coaster, the answer may finally be yes. In a scenario that will raise a cold sweat among epinephrine junkies who live for escalations in the theme-park roller coaster arms race, industry insiders are starting to predict that fear will not be the driving factor in the next generation of rides...
...entirely starting with a blank canvas. Over the past few years, high-scale boutiques showcasing local talent have been cropping up everywhere, and the organization Gen Art moved into town, creating buzz with New York-style fashion shows. Several experienced local designers who sell nationally, such as Orlando Espinoza, Lara Miller and Michelle Tan, have been garnering attention on the pages of glossy fashion magazines.

When the more intimate side of the plotline dominates, Il Caimano recalls Moretti's last feature, La Stanza del Figlio, a subtly powerful depiction of a family trying to cope with the accidental death of a son. It was that...
Although Adidas has doled out millions to be the official sponsor at each World Cup since '94, Nike crashes the gate every time. In 1994, an unmarked van pulled up to the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Fla., before a match, recalls Jeffrey Bliss, chief marketing officer for World Cup '94. The driver dropped off about 150 free Nike caps--JUST DO IT, BRASIL, they read--which soon became one of the hottest items at the event. In France, Nike's "Tour de Foot" caravan brought free clinics to some 50,000 kids around the country, and the company...
