The Great Wall of China proved to be too much for Plano's David Jacobs, a former Marine. Hiking it in 2002 left him winded, feeling weak and embarrassed. It marked a turning point in his life, and he vowed to change.

In Bigger, Stronger, Faster, a big hit at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, documentarian Christopher Bell takes a hard look at steroid culture and the bad rap it gets from mainstream America, tackling the Western obsession with body image. Clocking in just under two hours, Bell's sprawling overview deals with the impact of 1980's pop culture icons like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, then dives into the gritty details of steroid usage in sports and the recent congressional hearings where baseball players were reprimanded on national television.

Add this to the list of cool gadgets we'd like to try. The bodybugg armband
is a wearable monitor that offers a running total of the number of
calories you're burning (your Total Energy Expenditure, or TEE).
What's the big deal? Because the bodybugg not only tracks calories burned through regular exercise,
but it also tracks TEE from the more mundane tasks of life, like
changing a diaper, pumping gas, or even taking a nap.
It does this by
measuring skin temperature, physical motion, galvanic skin response,
and rate of heat loss. And the manufacturer, Bodymedia, offers an impressive array of scientific studies proving the efficacy of the product in accurately tracking calorie burn.

were summoned to a movie theater Sunday night by a security guard,
authorities said.
Burns, who was trying a new diabetes drug that
night, said Monday he was preparing to see a film when he felt
