NEW YORK - The rap artist O.D.B., whose utterly unique rhymes, wild lifestyle and incessant legal troubles made him one of the most vivid characters in hip-hop, collapsed and died inside a recording studio Saturday. He was 35.

O.D.B. had complained of chest pains before collapsing at the Manhattan studio, and was dead by the time paramedics arrived, said Gabe Tesoriero, a spokesman for O.D.B.\'s record label, Roc-a-Fella.

The cause of death was not immediately clear, but O.D.B. had rec ...

RICHMOND, Va. - Two years ago, Len Geiger was near death, suffering from a severe case of genetic emphysema. On Saturday, Geiger participated in his first marathon, accompanied by the father of the 14-year-old girl whose lungs were used in a double-lung transplant to save his life.

Because of the extensive damage to his lower body, Geiger did a \"race walk\" instead of running the course while Kevin Shroyer slowly jogged alongside him. It took the pair more than six hours to finish, but S ...

NEW YORK - Chris Byrd felt the power and found the canvas. Then Jameel McCline found out what made Byrd a heavyweight champion in the first place. Giving away 56 pounds and several inches, Byrd survived a second round knockdown and a bigger man\'s punch to retain his IBF heavyweight title Saturday night on a split decision by the narrowest of margins.

As crafty a fighter as the heavyweight division has seen in recent times, Byrd needed every bit of his skills to come on strong in the late ...

WASHINGTON - Consumers lost a little of their enthusiasm for auto purchases last month but spent like mad in a number of other areas including clothing and gasoline, the Commerce Department reported Friday.

Overall, retail sales were up 0.2 percent in October after having risen by 1.6 percent in September, which had been the biggest gain in six months.

The slowdown last month reflected a big 2.2 percent decline in auto sales. Without this big decline, retail sales would have risen by 0 ...

FALLUJAH, Iraq - U.S. military officials said Saturday that American troops had now \"occupied\" the entire city of Fallujah and there were no more major concentrations of insurgents still fighting after nearly a week of intense urban combat.

A U.S. officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Fallujah was \"occupied but not subdued.\" Artillery and airstrikes also were halted after nightfall to prevent mistaken attacks on U.S. and Iraqi forces who had taken up positions throughout t ...

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - Scott Peterson\'s lawyers failed to persuade the jury that someone else killed his pregnant wife. Now, they\'ll try to persuade the same 12 people to spare him from the death penalty.

But analysts said Peterson himself is unlikely to take the stand and beg for mercy _ doing that would require him to admit to the murders, and throw away any chance of overturning the convictions on appeal.

Six men and six women convicted Peterson Friday of the first-degree murder o ...

BNU, of course, is the name of a site that I administrate. It is called \"Battle Network Universe\", and is a MegaMan Battle-Network Roleplaying site. Now, no. This is not an advertisement. I was merely explaning what BNU is. Now, lemme get to the point.

A while back, some newbie decided to sign up as \"LanHikari\". Now, there was two things wrong with this. We don\'t allow new members to RP official characters, and we already had somebody playing Lan Hikari. After warning him several tim ...

Halloween.. Wow.. I love it! I\'m 17, and I still go trick-or-treating! It\'s not because I\'m a loser.. really.. it\'s because it\'s fun. It seems as though everyone ELSE my age thinks that halloween fun consists of smashing things, and vandalism... We\'ve always had to keep a sharp eye on our pumpkins (I spent an hour carving mine this year, I wanted it to be very cool). One year, we actually caught a neighborhood punk trying to take one.. dad chewed him out. Tonight, we saw all the ...

These are some things that piss me off:

Criticism
Admins and mods who act like nazis and abuse their power (there are none here, thank Heaven)
People that says japaneses voices with subtitles are better than english dubbing
Communism
Barney

That\'s all I can think of right now.

I\'ve been working at the Boys and Girls Club down here for about 2 years voluntarily, and this year I\'ll get paid for the work. I\'ve noticed that in all the time that I\'ve been in the club, that kids are becoming more and more bold and using more...colourful...language. Eight year olds, even!

When I was a kid, I got a hearty smack on the side of my face if I happened to step out of line. It\'s not so with the kids of today- more and more often I\'m seeing child abuse cases where the k ...
