Face 2 Face with Roy Firestone
Ben Roethlisberger
Last year Ben Roethlisberger was named the AP Rookie of the year while leading the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 15 â?"1 record. A three-year starter at Miami (Ohio), Roethlisberger set almost every record for passing at his school. He also surpassed Dan Marino's rookie record for completion percentage and passer rating. Roy Firestone had a chance to catch up with the young quarterback and discuss the 2004 season, the Steelers chance getting into the post season and life outside the football field.

The Gulf Coast - How Bad It Got In America

Rick Steves' Europe
Sevilla and Andalusia
Sevilla is the flamboyant city of Carmen and Don Juan. It's where bullfighting is still politically correct and where little girls dream of growing up to become flamenco dancers. Sevilla has soul -- and we feel it in its lacy Moorish palace, massive cathedral, lavish royal tombs, labyrinthine Jewish quarter, and its people-filled streets. After munching tasty tapas, we head south for Andalusia's ultimate whitewashed hilltown, Arcos de la Frontera.

[Sean Mota]

FAME 2.0 stars out of 5. I saw this movie a long time a go in the theater. I could not remember it but I know what I liked about it -- the music. The movie in itself is kind of awful and the story is so boring. Irene Cara's Fame is only good thing about this movie.
