But only four states used all their TANF money in 2004, the last year for which data were available. No other state has hoarded like Ohio, which has $900 million in unused TANF funds--a surplus twice as big as second-ranked New York...

At tour's end, the bikes are repaired and donated to rangers in India's wildlife reserves, and the surplus profits go to local charities. In November 2006 Smith heads up the first Enduro Africa, an even tougher off-road tour of South Africa where the bikes will be given to the country's health workers.
