...resources. But until recently, even as some anxious Democrats started to view the 50-state strategy as an indulgence their candidate could no longer afford, Obama seemed to be following through - even now he has a few paid staffers in Salt Lake City, despite the fact that Utah is the reddest of Republican states. His advisers argue that the approach not only expands the playing field and aids down-ballot candidates, but that it also helps with fund-raising and adds to volunteer efforts in neighboring states that are more in play - such as, in the case of Utah, Colorado...

Certainly, runners have been getting faster, as far as we know, but as Peter Weyand, an expert in biomechanics at Southern Methodist University, points out, our history of recorded time in sprints is relatively brief. "We have no way of knowing if humans might not have been even faster centuries or millennia ago," he says...
...Utah Jazz's Deron Williams nailed a three pointer at the buzzer to end the first half with the score at 55-43 and give the U.S. some much needed breathing room. Team USA had led by just one at the end of the first quarter, and the quick silver Australian point guard Patrick Mills - "an NBA player for sure," said the admiring U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski afterwards - was giving them cause for concern, and ended up with 20 points...
