Adam Strange, 46, attacked at Muriwai beach near Auckland today More sharks drawn to the attack as police fired shots in rescue attempt An award-winning film and TV director was today mauled to death by a Great White shark as he swam off a popular New Zealand tourist beach.

The piece – called Womanhood is dying at the Olympics’ – [...] From Carpe Diem: From a “rare guest post” on Steven Landsburg’s The Big Questions blog by David Bergeron, president and founder of solar-powered refrigerator company Sundanzer: “Here is the real problem: Subsidies make solar appear viable today, so where is the motivation for an entrepreneur to risk money, or even focus on developing real energy alternatives when solar is “almost” there? How can an inventor justify striving with the effort it takes to really develop [...] According to the Associated Press, seven Cameroon Olympians are missing from the athletes’ village in London. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1…hletes-village The government has put out rumors that they want asylum, without confirming it. My conspiratorial mind goes into thinking they could be players in a false flag attack. The story is really kinda bizarre.
“The seven Cameroonian Olympic hopefuls reported missing from the Athletes Village at the 2012 London Games are all young and inexperienced competitors. Soccer player Drusille [...] (CBS Tampa) — Michael Phelps better watch where he swims next time. Gold medal winner Ryan Lochte admits to urinating in the Olympic swimming pool during the London games. Talking to Ryan Seacrest, Lochte – former University of Florida swimmer — says that athletes usually pee in the pool.
http://tampa.cbslocal.com/2012/08/03/ryan-lochte-i-peed-in-london-olympic-swimming-pool/ From The Burning Platform: … Because conservatives are scrooges, the good folks at Americans for Tax Reform have gone through the fine print to find out what our Olympians will have to cough up to the IRS should they be lucky enough to win any medals in London. Even by the standards of our government, the numbers are insane. For instance: Americans who win bronze will pay a $2 tax on the medal [...] Kaifu Lee revealed personal information of American coach John Leonard on blogging site Weibo The Olympic row between the U.S. and China rolled on today as the personal details of the American swimming coach who questioned the gold-medal success of Chinese [...] The controversy over Chinese swimmer Ye Shiwen’s astonishing gold medal performance this week is no longer confined to just the suspicions of drug abuse, which she emphatically denies. It has raised concerns about another worrying — and infinitely more sinister — threat to the world of honest competition: the genetic enhancement of athletes. John Leonard, the highly respected American director of the World Swimming Coaches Association, described the 16-year-old’s world-record-breaking performance as [...] As eight swimmers took to the blocks for the women’s 200m individual medley at the Aquatic Centre on Tuesday night, it was impossible to distinguish, from their demeanour at least, which of them was at the centre of an international storm commanding the attention of the sport’s highest authorities. All eight waved to the crowd, walked to their blocks, adjusted their caps, goggles and costumes, flapped their arms and jumped. The [...] Michael Phelps stands alone. Less than an hour after tying the record for most career medals, Phelps became the most-decorated Olympian of all-time by anchoring the U.S. 4×200-meter freestyle relay to a resounding victory today and winning his first gold medal of the London Olympics. The Baltimore swimmer now has 19 medals (15 gold, two silver and two bronze), surpassing gymnast Larisa Latynina of the Soviet Union. She won 18 medals during the 1950s [...] LONDON — First, there was this screaming headline in Britain’s Daily Mail: “US Attacks China Over Drugs Row Supergirl Swimmer.” But the next move in the swim pool tat-for-tat war of words between the United States and China was truly bizarre and strangely out of focus, as a former Olympic doctor from China promptly decided to throw Michael Phelps and his 14 gold medals under the bus. If the doctor, Chen Zhanghao, was trying to steer [...] Chinese swimmer Ye Shiwen smashed world record by a second and her own personal best by five Ryan Lochte knocked Olympic icon Michael Phelps off his perch on Saturday with a brilliant performance to win the men’s 400m individual medley.

But just minutes [...] OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Eight was enough for Michael Phelps in Beijing. The world’s greatest swimmer dropped one of his eight Olympic events on Monday, leaving him with seven at the London Games. That means the 14-time gold medalist won’t equal the record eight golds he won four years ago. And Phelps is just fine with that. “Four years ago, we were trying to literally do everything,” he told The Associated Press in [...] When it tried to swim back towards the ocean, two other dolphins appeared and apparently blocked its path A solitary dolphin who has spent the past five days swimming in California wetlands while the rest of its pod swim back towards ocean may be the victim of bullying.

However when it went to leave the [...] Miguel Larios, 31, worked at the Aon Center where the race took place A stair climbing champion who achieved a record-breaking time had a winning technique up his sleeve – taking the elevator.

Larios, who worked at the skyscraper, had [...] A 911 dispatcher handled a call for a water rescue at a state park — only to learn later that the drowning victim was her son. Dispatcher Tracy Wilson got the call Tuesday saying help was needed at Rock Cut State Park in Rockton after a canoe tipped over.

He immediately goes to H-LL, where the devil is waiting for him. “I don’t know what to do here,” says the devil. “You are on my list, but I have no room for you.

Is China the new Soviet Union at the Olympics? It sure is looking like it today.
At the centre of this new Cold War is Ye Shiwen, a 16-year-old Chinese swimmer who snagged gold on Saturday in the 400 meter individual medley at a pace that shattered the world record by more than a second and knocked five second seconds off her personal best in the final 50 meters of the [...]
