Over the last few years, NASCAR has seemed to take the raw emotion, good and bad, from race day? Is this is a positive thing? -Terry McDonald, Portland, Ore.Here's the thing - there's a lot more media attention. So you're under a little bit more of a microscope these days. The penalty for showing your emotions sometimes can be bigger. But that's not good for the sport. The sport is built on personality, and fans love to see the jubilation of victory, and the frustration of defeat. They want to see people's true personality coming. That...

For years Hollywood has cut costs by outsourcing post-production--the editing, sound mixing and special effects that turn raw film into a blockbuster movie--to overseas firms. More than 90% of the animation for American films and television shows is processed in Asia, mainly in Japan and South Korea. Now, however, the $100 billion animation industry is rushing to tap the deep pools of young, well-trained artists in countries such as Singapore, China, India, South Korea and the Philippines...
...status as one of the major sources of top-flight talent for the European teams that dominate the global game today. Gone are the days when the African Cup boasted a couple of giants such as George Weah or Roger Milla, surrounded by a gaggle of talented but raw prospects. This year, 143 of the 368 players at CAN are drawn from elite European clubs, including such contemporary legends as Barcelona's Samuel Eto'o (Cameroon) and Yaya Toure (Ivory Coast); Chelsea's Didier Drogba, Solomon Kalou (both Ivory Coast) and Michael Essien (Ghana), and Real Madrid's Mamadou Diarra...
