Of course, this means there are some changes, such as the presence of David Hasslehoff being reduced to a cameo, the two leads are ex-soap stars (the way the......

As of 8 this morning the starting points for this year's Idiotarod had already been changed twice. As with every year, the effort to dodge police and the scramble to find the most updated starting line is still underway, but the carts should be off soon...and we'll keep you updated. In the meantime, check out Team Danger Zone's ride! Photo via lobster rocket's flickr. 12:35pm - Where are the carts? We just received this message:......

In a little more than two weeks, the ING NYC Marathon will take place. It's a little too late to sign up to run (unless you run for a charity - more here), but there are ways to get involved. One is to volunteer at the start of the race. Since the race starts early, volunteers are needed to help out at the start of the race in Staten Island - they will "help set......

But up in the air, turbulence can turn a relaxing flight into an anxiety trip. so as we get ready to fly to Chicago for the holiday weekend, we thought we'd discuss what causes turbulence. Unfortunately, this means we will miss Gotham Equinox. Turbulence is......

It's often a fact that is overlooked in the aftermath of the deal, but don't cry for Soriano. He's on a winning team, hitting .306, with 5 home runs and 28 RBI.
