POPSOlympic stars struggle to score showbiz gold "And Phelps could fade even within the Olympics, which still has another week left after the athlete kicks through his last breaststroke Saturday. "There's no question that Michael is an important driver of interest in the Olympics," NBC research chief Alan Wurtzel said. "But the Olympics turn out to be more than Michael Phelps."

POPSNutritionists Frosty to Phelps Much has been said in the past couple of weeks about Olympian Michael Phelps' calorie-packed, fat-laden diet. Now, news has come out that instead of endorsing Wheaties, like so many Olympians in the past, Phelps will be promoting Frosted Flakes, a cereal containing three times as much sugar. Nutritionists aren't happy about the idea, considering that the message isn't a great one for a nation of kids with weight problems. Talk of Phelps' diet is also confusing a lot of adults, who don't understand why it's ok for him to down so many egg sandwiches, no matter how much he swims. For a good explanation, check out nutrition expert Andy Bellatti's blog, Small Bites: http://smallbitesnutrition.blogspot.com/2008/08/you-ask-i-answer-michael-phelps.html

POPSRussian Journalist Watchs Russian Forces Move Toward Tbilisi
pointing in the direction of Tbilisi. “Everyone went that way, both recognizance and the infantry. Now the equipment is tagging along behind.” The soldiers do not know why the army is moving forward after the signing of the ceasefire. They do not even know about the ceasefire. They find it unexpectedly upsetting when I tell them. “Medvedev betrayed us. There, in Ossetia, they mowed down 2000 of our guys, and he made peace. This is a political war,” a soldier said. That was all there was to say about politics. “So did we win a lot of gold at the Olympics?” “Some gold,” I answer. “But no one is talking about the Olympics now. You are in all the news.” The soldiers look around and laugh. When we try to catch up to the column of equipment, we find that it has already been spread out through the fields and hills along both sides of the road around Igoeti, about 36 km. from Tbilisi. Near the village, we are stopped by a soldier in full uniform.

POPSMichael Phelps Deserves His Endorsement Millions I would have loved to take my video camera and follow Michael Phelps around while he was in Bejing... taking videos... if for nothing else but for him to take home and remember that wonderful time. I'm sure he's got tons of memories of his own... but memories fade a bit... and digital media doesn't ;)

POPSThe Olympic theme music is Leo Arnaud's "Bugler's Dream" For some reason this question has been bugging me -- what's the origin of that little brass fanfare that we all (in the U.S.) recognize as the theme music to the Olympics? Turns out it was written in 1958 by composer Leo Arnaud as part of a film score.

POPS Obama Takes Experience Lead Over McCain -- Again - there’s only one serious candidate in the race. Sister Toldjah McCain is demonstrating that when it comes to criticial foreign policy issues, his near 30 years in the Senate dealing with foreign issues as well as domestic, along with his long career in the Navy...... Hot Air Now, the media has awakened to truly historical events in the Caucasus, and McCain has commanded their attention with his leadership — while Obama hides in Hawaii. Macsmind You would think with 300 advisers THE ONE would have some words of wisdom from his Mount Olympus. The silence is more than telling and quite possibly a view into how Obama would actually handle such events as President. Surfs Up Dude! The New Republic McCain has had a prominent and strong presence in the news while Obama has been fairly invisible. Obama deserved a vacation but the timing–I assume his team figured the Olympics would drown out any other story.
