...rival, and that's an understatement. There is no cooler head in a goalmouth melee than the Roma star. Batigol was the first-choice national team striker until he was injured during the qualification campaign, and he spent much of the European season on Roma's bench or sick list. But that means his legs are fresher than most, and this may be enough to compensate for the fact that, at 33, he may be a couple of years too old to be the prince of strikers...
...doctor one fine afternoon and being told that you are going to get cancer. You seek a second opinion, only to be told that you probably won't get cancer after all; it's just that the first doctor wanted to hedge his bets in case you ever got sick and sued for malpractice. Just as you are absorbing that dark bit of news, a third doctor breezes in to assure you once again that you're safe from cancer--but you will contract a fatal illness of some kind at some point soon.

Looking for a way to broaden the group's outreach, she thought about how therapy dogs help kids who are sick, scared and homeless. "One of the things we know is that when kids are in the presence of animals, they'll relax," she says. "They start looking forward to the work they need to do." Why, she wondered, couldn't dogs have the same effect on kids who were shy about reading...
...probably gets mistaken for a Palm at parties, but the OQO is actually a full-fledged 1-GHz PC crammed into a package that's just 4 in. long by 3 in. wide. It sounds crazy, but if you are sick of shuttling data back and forth among your desktop, your laptop, your PDA and your MP3 player, the OQO (don't try to pronounce it--just say the letters) could replace them all in one pocket-size gizmo. Look for it in stores toward the end of this summer for about $1,000, or find out more online...
