...Klassen's torrid race was a highlight not just for her but for the whole team. By the time she took a congratulatory call from Prime Minister Stephen Harper, she had won four medals. She added the fifth last Saturday in what she calls the "most dreaded race," the 5,000 m, to set a new Canadian standard. And Vancouver 2010 is still in the picture. Cross-country skier Beckie Scott, who won a silver medal but had hoped for more, said Klassen's ability to meet the goals so publicly set out for her makes her performance even more...
...Lorena Feijóo, 35, San Francisco Ballet. Feijóo doesn't so much dance her roles as attack them with a torrid, all-out intensity, yet she never loses precision and control. Her fiery virtuosity blazes in such ballets as Giselle and Don Quixote. Unlike Carreño, she left Cuba over the objections of Alonso, who still rules the National Ballet (see box).

...road and get an extremely vengeful Crimson squad as one of their two respites at home.

But the big bet behind the lofty share price--that Google can keep up its torrid rate of growth--is far from a sure thing. At last week's close of $363 a share, Google's P/E ratio (stock price divided by earnings per share, a measure of expected profits) is a whopping 76. Compared with the average of about 20 for S&P 500 tech stocks, Google...
...what could go wrong? Mortgage rates could spike and buyers could walk away from their deals. But with the economy slowing and the Fed?s rate hikes near an end, that seems unlikely. These stocks won?t continue their torrid run indefinitely, but Muhlenkamp believes they will continue to rise. If he?s right on this group-and he has been for half a decade-the occasional pullback should be viewed as an invitation to join his house party...
