Beijing has a more serious problem. It is one of the more toxic and polluted cities in the world. This calls for a different recipe – using more natural gas in the ramp up time before the 2008 Olympics, which will be held about 13 months from now. Our sources had suggested coalbed methane gas might be used to light the Olympic flame.

College can be some of the “best” years of your life but only if you are ready for it! Now these “Best Years” have to be in context with everything else that one experiences in life.

If you are a baseball, horse racing, or basketball fan, you know just how hard tickets can be to get. Scoring tickets to the Chicago Cubs, Kentucky Derby, or Dallas Mavericks can call for a small miracle, a ton of cash paid to an illegal ticket scalper, or a whole lot of luck. Generally, the ubiquitous ticket sales outlet sell out of tickets before you can ever even get through to them to purchase the tickets for the upcoming event you want to attend. This leaves you with two options for buying your hard to find tickets - eBay or a ticket seller. While eBay is fine if you want to buy collectibles and stuff like that, you can easily get scammed on ticket purchases.
