Usain Bolt -The world record holder -

News From Usain Bolt:

From Beijing to Berlin, it seemed that Usain Bolt and his long, turbocharged strides were more than a match for anyone over 100 meters. But Tyson Gay upset the defending world and Olympic champion in a race between the two fastest runners in history.
Gay beat the Jamaican at the DN Galan meet in 9.84 seconds, competing at the same stadium in Stockholm where Bolt last lost a race two years ago.
The American seemed to be in complete control against the world record-holder. The pair raced side by side as Gay, looking comfortable, drew away. Bolt was straining to keep up and finished second in 9.97.

The Largest, Coconut Crab

Have you ever seen a coconut crab before? It is amazing!   I searched it on the internet. From Wiki: It is also called the robber crab or palm thief, because some coconut crabs are rumored to steal shiny items such as pots and silverware from houses and tents. Another name is terrestrial hermit crab, due to the use of shells by the young animals; however, there are other terrestrial hermit crabs which do not get rid of the shell even as adults. These—typically in the closely related genus Coenobita—are the animals usually called "terrestrial hermit crab"; given the close relationship between Coenobita and Birgus, the term would generally refer to any member of the family Coenobitidae.

John Goodman, known best from the 90’s sitcom Roseanne, is attracting attention for losing a whopping 100 pounds. According to ABC News, the actor uses an elliptical machine to work out six times a week and avoids eating sugar.
“I know it sounds sappy, but it was a waste,” the 58-year-old actor told People Magazine. The Huffington Post quoted from the interview with the actor.

“It takes a lot of creative energy to sit on your ass and figure out what you’re going to eat next ... I wanted to live life better,” he said.
Goodman also cites the fact that he recently quit drinking as a factor in his new and improved healthy lifestyle. All that combined with training help from celebrity health coach Mackie Shilstone, has set the bar high for the rest of us.
