...couple of dives in the 10-meter platform prelims. He has explained, in his bashful, self-effacing way, that he is not really training. Headshaking here; sad to see a fine athlete on the downward slide. Uh-huh. But when the diving is finished a couple of days later, guess which bashful, self-effacing phenomenon has another two golds? The real surprise is that Michele Mitchell also wins two. She won the silver last summer in the 10 meter platform, and owns that event, but now she outclasses Teammate Kelly McCormick, another Olympic silver medalist, in the springboard...

"I was informed that it has been examined [by biopsy] and it was indeed a basal-cell carcinoma, the most common and least dangerous kind [of cancer...
...would sound with just the upright bass and guitar and snare drum? That's the sound I love the best. My sound is basically backbeat and Stratocaster guitar or an old Martin guitar. Playing with a synthesizer is not really as much fun as playing with an instrument. I guess those machines are for people who are more inclined to be visionaries, who imagine something and work it out. As opposed to people who carry it around with them. That's what...
