Women’s boxing makes Olympic debut to sellout crowd

LONDON – The broader picture was lost to Quanitta Underwood on Sunday, obscured by her loss to Great Britain's Natasha Jonas as women's boxing made its Olympic debut. "History doesn't mean anything to me," said the lightweight, one of three boxers representing the United States in London. "The gold medal meant more."

‘Cavalia’: A beautiful bond between man, horse

What do you get when you take 49 stunning, superbly trained horses (11 breeds), that live with gentle love and care, while consuming 17,500 bales of hay, 36,500 pounds of oats and of course 1,750 pounds of carrots annually? Add 120 performers and handlers, a 10-story tall white big top, a specially equipped Boeing 747 (for horse transport), a stage as wide a football field, a stable that spans more than 16,500 square feet and 2,500 tons of sand and you get “Cavalia” – a sensational experience like no other.

I’ve never known the absolute love and joy of any dog prior or any dog since – he really is my soul pup. While he’s a ball of energy who loves running in the park and chasing squirrels, he’s also perfectly happy cuddling and watching TV. In case you’re wondering: He’s not named after Coach, the luxury leather goods brand, but Coach Ditka from the 1985 Super Bowl champion Chicago Bears.
