ALBUQUERQUE (AP) - Twirl, bow, prance, swirl: Dancing with a dog is a sport and an art that's nothing like when you'd take your pooch's front paws and haul him up on his hind legs when you were a kid

Since the first modest ascension of 13 balloons on a chilly April morning in 1972, people have gathered to watch and be a part of Balloon Fiesta. Between then and now, Balloon Fiesta has grown into the largest hot air balloon gathering in the world.

Castle is a monument to pizza nostalgia
By Andrea Lin
Paneling, faded carpet gorund down by all of sneakerdom, vinyl booths easy to wipe down after assaults by marauding 5

year-olds, and periodic pinging noises from a cluster of video and pinball games - these are the things that put the parlor

in a pizza parlor. The pizza doesnt even have to be great; it needs only to keep coming hot and gooey out of the ovens.

However, I came to Pizza Castle armed with feedback, looking for slices that could pass muster in New York City.

Story By Chris Chase
Lance Armstrong and his Astana team were fined for arriving late for the pre-stage registration this morning in Marseille, France. Rules state that riders must show up 20 minutes prior to the start or face a fine of 100 Swiss Francs ($92). Sneering contempt from the Tour de France competitions director is an added bonus.
