Lance Williams and Mark Fainaru-Wada, the authors of Game of Shadows, have been ordered by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White to reveal who leaked Barry Bonds’ (and others) grand jury testimony to them. They have won the right to appeal that decision before going to jail to keep their source a secret. In his order,…
Some gangster tried to smuggle $16 million of fake Nike shoes from China into the United States. It was one of the largest counterfeit merchandise smuggling schemes in recent history. I can see somebody on a street corner in New York opening up his jacket. “Hey man, I got your top quality sneaks right here…”
I have replaced my old search box with a Google search box. Hopefully, it will make it easier to find articles on the website. I was not happy with the way that the old box performed searches. Let me know if you find anything funky with the way that it works or the way that…

The rumors of the Boston Marathon beginning at 10 o’clock in the morning rather than at noon next year have now been confirmed. There will also be the same wave start system that was employed this year, where half of the field begins at 10 am and the other half of the field begins at…
