...tired of her wicked case of cabin fever, Calleja has gone on a "crazy rampage." She saw a $500 flight for a weekend in Paris and snapped up the ticket. "And of course, you need to buy a new outfit for Paris," she says. She has even convinced some friends to go with her. "I just said, 'Screw it - I'm going to go here.' " She is also going out more and spending a bit more on basic staples. "I got tired of being poor," Calleja says. "At some point, you have to get back your sanity...

Running a marathon seems like a big deal, but ultra-runners run hundreds of miles over mountains. How do they do it? I never saw an ultra-marathon until I was in one. I ran 50 miles with the Tarahumara. My stomach was clenching up like a fist before the race. I received the best advice for running I ever heard: "You're not going to win, so just relax. If it feels like work, you're running too hard." I just wish people would run two miles as if they were running 100 miles, because one thing that...

...steep 62% from last weekend's gross. This fourth episode in the John Connor saga could trace the sorry trajectory of this March's action film, Watchmen, which earned more than half its total domestic take in its first weekend.

Given the tarnished fiscal state of the Golden State, Arnold Schwarzenegger may wish he were a movie star again. Indeed, he's spoken of getting back...

...matter where you’re ranked, a lot of guys get upset, so to go and win All-American, I couldn’t have asked for a better ending to the season.”Although Caputo finished seventh as a sophomore, Harvard coach Jay Weiss saw Caputo’s return to All-American status—a feat that only four other Crimson grapplers have accomplished—as a tremendous step forward from his second-year campaign.“[Caputo] wrestled so well, just putting everything together,” Weiss said...

...True enough. But for the moment, Florida seems more concerned with the growing number of valid complaints. (Jacksonville alone saw two female teachers arrested last month.) So it's no surprise that a Florida Congressman, U.S. Representative Adam Putnam, recently co-introduced a bill, the Student Protection Act, to set up a scholastic version of the national sex-offender database and prevent teachers like Lafave from getting classroom jobs in other districts or states. Whether or not the legislation passes, it's a sign of the emotional turmoil that women like her have wrought in their communities...
