LiveStrong at the Olympics

+ Posted by Josh Hallett on 08.27.04 // 03:23 PM

I have been seeing many athletes wearing the LiveStrong bands at the Olympics, probably most notable was Justin Gatlin, the winner of the Men's 100M. Of course many of the Nike athletes have been wearing them.

John Moffitt who finished second in the long jump wore two! The latest issue of Sports Illustrated has a close up shot (page 53) of one on the wrist of Greek Softball player Lindsay James.

If you have not seen the pictures of the special LiveStrong Chopper the boys at Orange County Choppers built take a look here. There are a total of seven pictures.

Note You will need to sign up to the Paceline to see the pictures, but it's free.

Remember if you need to get some LiveStrong bands, buy them from the source.

New York Times 'Emergency' Headline

+ Posted by Josh Hallett on 08.02.04 // 10:30 AM

It's been noted on a number of web sites that Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, had surgery this past weekend to remove a cancerous tumor from his pancreas. The story appears at: USAToday, CNN to name a few. Most of the headlines state that Jobs or the 'Apple CEO' has successful cancer surgery. Except the New York Times.

The NYTimes article is titled 'Apple Chief Has Emergency Cancer Surgery' I guess they needed to include the word 'Emergency' in there? Why, when other stories, or even the original letter Steve wrote mentions never says 'emergency'?
