| AOL's Running Man steps up for advertising accolade
AOL's Running Man beat Mr Clean and the Red and Yellow M&Ms to clinch the Madison Avenue Advertising Walk of Fame award at Advertising Week, the annual autumn meeting of advertising executives in New York.

Running in Heels and Lost Land of the Volcano
Right now, he's watching a programme called Running in Heels (E4) about his old colleague, Joanna Coles, and the magazine where she now works. It's not her who's running in heels; it's everyone else. Joanna is why they're running. She's editor-in-chief of Marie Claire in New York – basically Queen of the World. Here she is in her apartment, packing to go to fashion week in Paris.

"I'm disappointed, and I think he did spike the football, but you hate to see a double overtime game decided on a play like that," Baltimore Lutheran coach Brent Johnson said. Pallotti sophomore quarterback Rafi Correa tossed a 6-yard touchdown pass to Matt Defrank, also a sophomore, in the second overtime to give the Panthers the lead. Rob Hughes' extra-point kick proved to be the game winner. Lutheran, which won both coin tosses in overtime and deferred both times, responded with a four-play drive that ended with Toscheff's score on fourth-and-goal at the 1.
