...bike and look like Lance Armstrong, you're going to drop $8,000 or more. If you're an ultra-runner, you buy one pair of shoes. Tony Krupicka, one of the greatest young ultra-runners, has worn the same pair of crappy, cross-country flats for the past six years. It's actually one of the big debates in ultra-racing right now: some of the top competitors want there to be prize money, but the second money gets into it, the sport is ruined.

The 2003 Finding Nemo earned $867 million worldwide - still tops for a Pixar feature - on a reported $94 million budget. WALL-E, which cost about twice as much to make, took...
...center of that storm which beset Conte Forum was junior guard Jeremy Lin. Assigned to defend the highly-touted Rice, Lin stole the spotlight for a night. Scoring 27 points, dishing out eight assists to two turnovers and generating six steals, Lin clipped his fair share of feathers, while the All-American Rice contributed a mere 14 points...
