Oil price tops $99 in Asia
Heating fuel demand is expected to rise as the northern hemisphere winter kicks in next month, while energy appetite from emerging markets such as China and India shows no sign of slowing, dealers said. Katie Dean, a senior economist with Australia's ANZ bank in Melbourne, said 100-dollar oil would have a major psychological impact. "The psychological impact is very significant... we are going to have to get used to oil being at elevated levels," Dean told AFP. Crude prices topped 50 dollars in 2004 amid tensions caused by the Iraq war. They climbed above 70 dollars in August 2005 when Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf of Mexico, damaging major offshore oil installations. Despite pressure from the United States, the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) opted not to raise production following a rare summit in Riyadh this month.

Avery and Malik rumble at practice
Sure enough, there the gangly defenseman and mouthy forward were 40 minutes into today's MSG Training Center practice, gloves shed and fists balled. Nobody got hurt - fact is, using his far superior reach, Malik won on points what turned into a Greco-Roman wrestling match. But that a fight broke out at all in a non-training camp Rangers practice was stunning. It was believed to be the first since Jeff Beukeboom and Eddie Olczyk duked it out at Rye Playland during the '94 season. An omen? Here's how things shook out: Avery was driving down the right wing with the puck in a one-on-one drill when he lost his stick trying to cut in on Malik. The big defenseman rode the stickless and hunched-over winger to the backboards, where he administered an extra hit.
Teens using steroids cheat themselves and their health
The measure of success in any sport is how well you use what you have to win, says Ken Locker, a certified athletic trainer at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas. "It's easy for someone to cheat and win," he adds. "With steroids, you're tricking your body. You're creating something that's not you, and that's why you're cheating." But in the sports world, from high school on up, the focus often is more on competition and less on following the rules. "It's not just the kids," says Mr. Locker, who knows of a freshman at a small university who tested positive for steroids. Regulations required the school to tell his parents what had happened. They weren't surprised. "The parents admitted to giving it to him," Mr. Locker says. "They wanted him to get a scholarship." Is there a way to get a scholarship without going the steroid route?
