Most of us know how to save money on groceries: You clip coupons, compare prices at different supermarkets and jump on good sales. But saving money on health care costs? That's much more complicated.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Federal authorities last month assured consumers that a meat plant linked to nearly 50 illnesses caused by tainted ground beef had made enough changes after a recall to ensure that its products were safe. Less than a month later, the same processor has recalled 1.2 million pounds of other beef products that might have sickened more than 30 people.
The U.S. agriculture secretary expressed confidence in the nation's food safety system, but said the meat processing industry will always face challenges
As the U.S. Olympic swimming trials get underway on Sunday in Omaha, here are 10 story lines to watch for.
OMAHA, Neb. -- The Wonderdogs' Cinderella party on the infield of Rosenblatt Stadium was still hopping, but Steve Detwiler made an early exit, retreating to the locker room behind the first-base dugout to stash away the choicest of souvenirs. "This ball," he said, reaching down into one of the outer pockets of his duffel bag, "this is the last out right here. The national championship ball."
OMAHA, Neb. -- In the makeshift merchandise tents that line 13th Street here outside Rosenblatt Stadium, prices on most of the College World Series gear have been slashed by now. Shirts emblazoned with logos of powerhouses who've already been sent packing -- Miami and North Carolina, Rice and Stanford, Florida State and LSU -- are half-off in most stands. One still commanding full price, however, is a white tee featuring the Fresno State Bulldog logo, bracketed by three lines of capitalized text in simple Helvetica font that read, "FROM UNDERDOGS / TO WONDERDOGS."

Sure, you order takeout three nights a week, and preparing a burger tests the limits of your culinary know-how. But that doesn't mean you don't need and deserve a spacious kitchen. After all, the kitchen has evolved from a room where food is prepared to the hub of a house, where you do everything from eating casual meals to paying the bills and helping Junior with his algebra homework.
When I saw the neon tabloid headline "Allen Iverson faces lawsuit," I thought that the 21st-century NBA bad boy was back courting trouble. I felt the jolt of curiosity that always comes when the man who causes David Stern to reach for the Maalox makes headlines for off-court issues.
If you've been reading Money Magazine for any length of time, you surely get that saving for retirement should be your top financial priority. Even so, the past decade's easy appreciation in home values has made such fundamental advice seem, well, a lot less urgent.
OMAHA, Neb. -- At 8:37 p.m. on this sweltering Sunday, after the shadows had at last overtaken Rosenblatt Stadium, Dustin Ackley lined out with two on base for the third out in the sixth inning of Game 2 of the College World Series final. Everyone in the old ballyard on the hill knew: it was all over. Gone was North Carolina's best chance to inject some intrigue into this humdrum championship series; the next inning Oregon State scored twice to turn the game into a laugher for the second-straight night, and an hour later, the Beavers were dancing to Queen on The 'Blatt's resplendent infield grass.
Floating blow-up dolls in the outfield, infielders assaulted by giant moths, and an anteater infestation: It's been a strange fortnight here at Rosenblatt Stadium, the old blue-rinsed ballyard that every June becomes the cradle of college baseball.
Friday kicks off a 10-day adventure in Omaha, Neb., known as the College World Series. The field is littered with surprises, from old favorites to new members of the CWS. One familiar team is Rice on top of the bracket. While the Owls are the odds-on favorite to win another championship, things in Omaha never go as expected. Running down the brackets, here's a breakdown of each team in Rosenblatt Stadium this week, followed by a prediction for who will win it all.
With only a week until the Major League draft and three weeks until the College World Series in Omaha, college baseball is heating up in a big way. Last week, the NCAA selection committee announced the 64 teams that made the postseason tournament, playing in 16 regionals across the country. These regionals, hosted by a home university in each instance, will send one university to the next round after playing a double elimination weekend tournament. The 16 regionals are below, with my picks for each regional along with the skinny on every team involved.
