Ground Zero Reconstruction Planners Ditch Timetable
The building schedule for skyscrapers and a memorial planned for New York City's Ground Zero have been tossed out by the World Trade Center owners, due to unrealistic goals and rising costs.
Planners will announce a new timetable this September, seven years after the Twin Towers fell, according to BBC. Officials previously promised that the Freedom Tower, set to replace the destroyed towers while taking the title of the nation's tallest building, would be complete in 2006, then 2011, and finally in 2013.

It has taken me considerably longer to reconcile my negative feelings of running downhill with the power I feel running up the other side.

The New York Times reports today that parents hit with hard times are starting to pull the plug on the trust-funders.

American Idol Top 11 Take on Grand Ole Opry
It's Grand Ole Opry week on American Idol, which meant time for everyone to bring out their best country voices — other than Adam Lambert, who decided sitar music was in order.

You Asked: My First Winter Running Outdoors
Dear Fit,
I've been running consistently, at least three times a week for a couple years now.

Was 9/11 a Government Conspiracy?
The seventh anniversary of of September 11 is approaching and it seems like it's impossible to remember a time before. This horrific tragedy has entered the global lexicon of experience and colored everything since in a way few events in history have. Almost every person has a story of their own from that day, and a personal way of dealing with it since — some stay away from the movies and documentaries as if the facts are still too fresh; others obsessively pore over every true tale and listen to the 911 calls from that morning, hoping to that bitter medicine will hold answers.
