Berlin gets into World Cup mode A football theme park is being built in front of Berlin's iconic parliament By Tom Geoghegan BBC News, Berlin Germany has set out to prove at the World Cup it can be a charming host. So with two months to go, how is the warm welcome shaping up? By adopting "A time to make friends" as the tournament slogan, World Cup organisers want national stereotypes lingering since World War II to be smothered under a friendly embrace. Much of this responsibility will fall on Berlin, which is to host five matches plus the final in its remodelled Olympiastadion, the venue for the 1936 Nazi-era Olympics. The tournament's opening ceremony is on 7 ...

Saefong, MarketWatch Last Update: 5:17 PM ET Apr 6, 2006 SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Gold has reached $600 an ounce for the first time since 1981 but the real surprise will be where it goes from here, with experts predicting a drop in the near term that could clear the way for four-digit prices in the next few years.

New Research Reveals That Thoughts Affect Genes

New Research Reveals That Thoughts Affect Genes November 29th, 2005 by Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D. Groundbreaking scientific studies find that genes can be turned on and off by environmental signals - including thoughts, feelings and emotions - from outside the cell. Cellular biologist Dr. Bruce Lipton, a former medical school professor and research scientist, was one of the first scientists to posit such extra-cellular control. Dr. Lipton conducted a series of experiments that reveal that the cell membrane, the outer layer of a cell, is the organic equivalent of a computer chip, and the cell’s equivalent of a brain. Although this view conflicts with the widely held scientific dogma that ...

Still Mostly White NASCAR Trying To Diversify By WALTER WOODS, MORIEKA V. JOHNSON Cox News Service Monday, February 20, 2006 The last black man to win a NASCAR race couldn't accept his trophy in 1963 because officials feared a riot in the stands. The white runner-up took the laurels and kissed the beauty queen that day, and the winner, legendary driver Wendell Scott, was given the trophy unceremoniously a month later. Four decades later, NASCAR still is one of the whitest of major American sports. In nearly 60 years of pro racing, only five black drivers have revved an engine in a major competition. And if you watch NASCAR from the sofa or tailgate at the track, you are probably white. ...

FOS (Friends of Seahawks) who have been allowed to watch Seattle practices this week say they've never seen the Seahawks look better. They're confident, calm, meticulously prepared -- so say the FOS.

But this is Seattle's first Super Bowl appearance in the 30-year history of the franchise. Until about three weeks ago, the Seahawks hadn't won a ...

By Kim Murphy Times Staff Writer January 27, 2006 MOSCOW — In any boxing club, sweat is part of the ambience, but in Russia, the sweat factor usually scores a one-two punch to the nose right from the doorway, reminding all who enter of what it smells like to be a nastoyashi muzhik, a real Russian man. On the wall of a small neighborhood boxing club in northwest Moscow, there is a huge, grainy photo of Stanislav Stepashkin, the 1964 Olympic featherweight champion who was one of Russia's early claims to international boxing fame, and a real Russian man ...

I follow the Steelers closely. On 12/22/05 they were about as dead as a team could be as far as the Super Bowl is concerned. In fact, the Steelers had to win their last game to be assured a spot in the playoffs. Two days later, the Steelers won their last game of the season, against Cleveland, by a score of 35-0. Now they are one win away from going to the Super Bowl. This has relevance to what Steve says during that 18-minute segment ...
