As multinational corporations race to pursue oil worldwide, a small Tulsa-based firm is striking black gold state-side. Arena Resources landed at No. 1 last year on the FSB 100, our list of America's fastest-growing small public companies. Arena, which explores and drills for oil and natural gas in Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas, increased revenues from $60 million in 2006 to a little more than $100 million in 2007. "We've set new growth records each year since 2000," says CEO Lloyd Rochford.

Admit it. Some of you are obsessed with stars, and not the ones pictured in Us Weekly who occasionally forget to wear their underpants. No, your galaxy consists of those precious stars handed out by recruiting services such as Rivals.com. All year, you hope and pray your team can land enough four- and five-star recruits to push your team's ranking into the top 10.
Delinquent borrowers face a dizzying array of options when it comes to saving their homes.
Dear FSB: I work for a wholesale distribution business that is considering building a new distribution center this year. The U.S. Congress is currently debating an economic stimulus package that would include bonus depreciation that would certainly have an impact on our decision to make an investment now. How can we best express our need for tax relief for small business?
With national Signing Day on Wednesday and 24 states holding presidential primaries on Super Tuesday, mudslinging could reach an all-time high this weekend. Some coaches will trash rival schools as part of their final recruiting pushes, while candidates certainly will trash one another to win delegates. What's amazing is how the negative campaigning seems to parallel negative recruiting.

At first Tino Sanchez figured he had no choice but to quit baseball cold. Would anyone have blamed him if he'd stayed holed up in his hometown of Yauco, Puerto Rico, for the rest of the season? Forever? He'd gone there to be with his wife, Maria, for the birth of their first child, and as they waited he tried to take in the soothing words of friends and family. Come on, Tino, it wasn't your fault. The Colorado Rockies' front office told him not to hurry back, but the game that had been his life kept exerting its pull. So even though the baby -- due to arrive on the same July day they rolled Mike Coolbaugh away in a hearse -- stayed in Maria's belly, and even though his nerves still jangled, Sanchez returned. To the blast-furnace heat of a Texas League afternoon. To the visitors' clubhouse in the Dallas suburb of Frisco. To another dusty dugout, 17 days after he hit the foul ball that killed his coach.
