Today, Orangetheory Fitness is the fastest-growing women-owned company in the U.S., an exercise phenomenon with 750 studios and half a million members.

This week, the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High returned to school — to the hallways and classrooms where they had watched people die, where many of them thought they, too, would probably die.

Remember the "Axis of Evil"? That's what George Bush called North Korea, Iran, and Iraq back in 2002. It was hateful, ignorant, and in some ways led to today's tumultuous times. The Rhythm Foundation’s Axis of Love concert series seeks to counter this by employing cultural diplomacy to move the...

Within hours, Karpinen's body was hauled off, his property seized, and the report closed out.
