Michael Phelps Makes Olympic History

2008-08-16T21:48:00.000-07:00

It's official - Michael Phelps has become the winningest Olympic athlete ever as he picked up his eighth gold medal Sunday morning in Beijing, as the Americans took the 400-meter medley relay against an Australian team that did its best to spoil history.

Enroute to history, Phelps set seven world records and one Olympic record in five individual races and three relays, doing a personal best time in every event.

Phelps is quoted as saying "Nothing is impossible. With so many people saying it couldn't be done, all it takes is an imagination, and that's something I learned and something that helped me."

We salute Michael Phelp's and his incredible achievement.

Michael Phelps 7th Gold Medal

2008-08-16T16:59:00.000-07:00

Michael Phelps kept his streak alive last night, as he won his seventh gold medal of the Beijing Olympics and tied Mark Spitz's record in what turned into a thriller in the 100-meter butterfly event.

In a win that sparked a protest, but was upheld after a video review, Phelps edged Serbia's Milorad Cavic by one-hundredth of a second which even he said was "almost too close to see."

After 17 races in nine days, he will end his quest for eight Olympic gold medals tonight in the 4x100-meter medley relay.

Stay tuned...

Michael Phelps: Beneath the Surface

2005-06-26T10:12:00.000-07:00

Book Description
Eight medals, including six gold and two bronze. Michael Phelps used the Olympic Games in Athens as his breakout event. Already known in the swimming world for the summer of 2003 when he set seven world records in 41 days, Michael's record-tying medal haul made him a mainstream name. He's well on his way to his ambitious goal of "changing the sport of swimming," but despite Michael's pre-eminence in the pool, his story is not a swimming diary but a tale of adversities overcome and redemption through persistence.

Michael Phelps: Beneath the Surface is a first-person account of Michael's journey to manhood and Olympic glory - from a toddler who was afraid to put his face in the water to a student overcoming an attention deficit disorder to a son dealing with his parents' divorce to a brother who watched an older sister narrowly miss making the Olympic team to the athlete who carried his nation's hopes on his shoulders in Athens, and delivered against such high expectations.

Eminem Biography

2004-11-28T21:12:00.000-08:00

The Eminem mania continues... Available from Amazon.com is Whatever You Say I Am : The Life and Times of Eminem by ANTHONY BOZZA.

Quoting Amazon:
Product Description:
does eminem matter?

On assignment for his first cover story for Rolling Stone, the very first national cover story on Eminem, Anthony Bozza met a young blond kid, a rapper who would soon take the country by storm. But back in 1999, Eminem was just beginning to make waves among suburban white teenagers as his first single, "My Name Is," went into heavy rotation on MTV.
Who could have predicted that in a mere two years, Eminem would become the most reviled and controversial hip-hop figure ever? Or that twelve months after that, Eminem would sit firmly at the pinnacle of American celebrity, a Grammy winner many times over and the recipient of an Oscar.
Did eminem change or did America finally figure him out?

Lindsay Lohan - Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen

2004-08-26T23:09:00.000-07:00

Editorial Reviews
from Amazon.com

"Tucked into the middle of Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen is a charming sequence in which two girls from New Jersey (Lindsay Lohan and Alison Pill) try to go to a rock concert in New York and have their illusions broken, then restored, and then broken, just a bit, again. Lola (Lohan) yearns for glory by playing the lead in the high school play and getting to meet the lead singer of a band called Sidarthur. Despite the spiteful efforts of a popular girl, Lola gets everything she wants without much of a struggle. Most of the movie takes place in a glitzy but flavorless high-school world with glossy teenagers dressed like a less discriminating Christina Aguilera. Pill (Pieces of April) shines in the thankless role of the geeky best friend. Also featuring Glenne Headley (Dick Tracy) and Carol Kane (Office Killer). --Bret Fetzer --This text refers to the Theatrical Release edition. "

Description
SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS revolves around the denizens of Bikini Bottom and a sweet square yellow sponge with the tongue twister name of SpongeBob SquarePants, who lives in a giant pineapple with his cookie-loving pet snail Gary. His two best friends and comrades-in-misadventures, are Patrick, a gullible starfish and a temperamental, thrill-seeking squirrel named Sandy Cheeks who lives in an underwater dome complete with a large Texas tree house and picnic area. SpongeBob is the 'best fry cook ever' at the Krusty Krab, where he has to deal with his miserly boss Mr. Krabs and the grumpy cashier Squidward Tentacles. SpongeBob is always landing himself (and his friends!) in hot soup despite the best of intentions. His enthusiasm and optimism are endearing and infectious, making him one of the best-loved characters by children and adults alike."

S. African relay spoils Phelps' run at record

Citizen Staff Report and Wire Report

The United States' Amanda Beard swims the 100 breast stroke semifinals at the Olympic Aquatic Center. She will race in the finals today.
ATHENS, Greece - Tucson's connection is off to a stunning start in the Olympics.
Former University of Arizona swimmers Roland Schoeman, Lyndon Ferns and Ryk Neethling helped the South African 400-meter freestyle relay team win the gold medal yesterday in a world-record time of 3 minutes, 13.17 seconds.
The win spoiled American Michael Phelps' chance at surpassing Mark Spitz's record of seven golds in the 1972 Munich Games. The U.S. team, which opted to swim Phelps instead of veteran Gary Hall Jr., won the bronze."

Amazon.com: Music: Confessions: "Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
A CD is always more compelling when you know it's lifted from the artist's autobiography, and that's certainly the case with Confession, Usher's first record since 2001's 8701. The Atlanta singer's string of hits over the past decade have been decidedly PG-13 rated, almost veering towards teen pop, but he's changed all that on this co-produced offering, which he claims is 'the real him.' It would be too simplistic to just brand this record a break-up record, chronicling his public split with TLC's Rozonda 'Chili' Thomas; it is that, but so much more."

Amazon.com: movie info: Little Black Book: "Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com

Half screwball romance, half television satire, Little Black Book follows insecure Stacy Holt (Brittany Murphy, Uptown Girls, 8 Mile), who has an idyllic relationship with a great guy named Derek (Ron Livingston, Office Space) and a job as an associate producer for a daytime talk show that fuses Jerry Springer and Ricki Lake. Then a cynical co-worker named Barb (Holly Hunter, Broadcast News) persuades Stacy to delve into Derek's Palm Pilot to learn more about his ex-girlfriends--which sends Stacy into a spiral of ever-increasing paranoid compulsion. Little Black Book takes some unexpected plot twists that some viewers will find inexplicable and others will find weirdly fascinating. The movie's split personality makes it unsuccessful as a whole but compelling in parts. Hunter steals the show, in more ways than one. Also featuring Kathy Bates, (Misery, About Schmidt) and Julianne Nicholson (Seeing Other People). --Bret Fetzer "
