POPSMayor Bloomberg advocating alternative energy for NYC This is an example of the forward thinking, innovative leadership that Mayor Bloomberg has provided to New York City. I'm certainly a fan of term limits, but this is one person i sure hate to see move on...although i would love to see him be a major player in the next president's cabinet. I imagine that if Obama wins, that is a very real possibility.

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

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 ;)

POPSA Garden Of Healing That Can Divide “Setting up these little gardens for people to stroll around and feel nice is one of these feel-good California-style exercises,” said Michael Arata, a member of the diocese from nearby Danville. “And I don’t see a practical benefit for something like that.” What makes the debate in Oakland all the more fragile is that the garden was developed by two women who were both sexually abused as children by a priest from the Oakland Diocese. Those victims are Jennifer Chapin, 35, and Terrie Light, 57, who says she is not surprised that the garden has met with skepticism. “Look, 99 percent of survivors might think this is stupid and meaningless,” Ms. Light said. “But there might be a few people who say, ‘This is everything to me.’ And then for them, it would be worthwhile.”

POPS Michael Wins All The Gold MUST SEE PHOTO GALLERY: It was nine days of magical moments for Phelps, and he said the collective effort is what he'll remember most. "Every race, from one to the other," he said. "It's the whole thing. It's a great experience." "Everything had to go perfect. Everything had to fall perfectly into place and I was able to have probably the best week of my life." Probably? Day by day Busy, busy: Nine days, eight gold medals, seven world records.
