Nike + Contest Winner by Ami Kealoha

Nikepluskitcontest

Our Nike + Contest generated hundreds of entries—most of them wrong. Nearly two-thirds named Fred Lorz, who was disqualified from the 1904 St. Louis Olympics for using a car (nice try all of you claiming it was a horseless carriage), but the winner (chosen at random from the correct submissions) is CH reader NL, who writes:

"Spiridon Belokas is the name of the Greek Marathon runner who was disqualified from a third place finish in the 1896 Olympics because of using a carriage for part of the race."

NL will receive an iPod Nano, the Nike+ Sport kit, a pair of Moires, and a free download of The Crystal Method's "Drive." Congratulations!

M.I.A. Custom Reeboks
You know we love M.I.A.-- as Ranjani put it, she’s a hyper-conscious, ultra-cool, bi- (tri-?) lingual artist that could, in another universe, be a science fiction superhero. Her album Arular is a big hit and her current tour is sold out all over the place. If you haven't heard it, listen now. Among the many things I admire is the range of talents M.I.A....
