Chuck Liddell

Chuck Liddell is going to be on season 9 of "Dancing With the Stars," which begins Sept. 21 on ABC. Now we've got two reality competition shows to follow in September, "The Ultimate Fighter" being the other (Sept. 16). This is going to be interesting. Let's hope Liddell last a few weeks because I want to hear the outrageous comments from the judges.
"The Iceman," arguably the most popular fighter in MMA history, will be joined by fellow athletes Michael Irvin, Natalie Coughlin (swimming) and Louie Vito (snowboarding), singers Macy Gray and Aaron Carter, actors Melissa Joan Hart, Debi Mazar and Ashley Hamilton, models Joanna Krupa (she of the T.O. "Superstars" fame) and Kathy Ireland, and Donnie Osmond, Kelly Osbourne, Mark Dacascos and Tom DeLay.
Chuck Liddell says he hasn't decided whether he's retiring from the UFC, but the former light heavyweight champion has found a slightly less strenuous outlet for his energy than MMA: He'll appear on the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars. Liddell doesn't have the best footwork in all of MMA, but from a quick look at the cast, at least based on the little I know about them, I'd say the only people in the group who are more nimble on their feet are former Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin and (maybe) snowboarder Louie Vito.

Evelyn Stevens

Evelyn Stevens was working 50 hour weeks on Wall Street, trying to stay in shape by running when she could squeeze it in. On Sunday, August 9th, the 26-year-old former college tennis player began the Route de France, a six-day race that draws some of the world's top female cyclists. And here's the part nobody, not even Stevens, could have imagined just a few months ago: She might just win!
I suspect that Evelyn Stevens is blessed with a high VO2 max, that determining factor in how well her lungs and heart work to get oxygen to her working muscles. Being a virtual newcomer she hasn’t been submitted to a lot of testing but the ones she has done show she has an unusual amount of leg power for someone so small(120 pounds) and so inexperienced.Her light weight and high power output allow her to climb uphill faster than anyone she's faced so far.
She has been involved in athletics for some time. After playing college tennis at Dartmouth and landing a job at investment bank Lehman Brothers in New York, Stevens says she was content to leave sports behind. Her exhausting schedule left her with barely enough time for that occasional run. But in November of 2007 her sister and brother-in-law persuaded her to try a cyclocross race, an muddy hybrid between mountain and road biking.

Hurricane Bill projected path

Hurricane Bill projected path speculation is rising now that Hurricane Bill has become a serious storm. The projected path of Hurricane Bill is the first one of serious interest in the Atlantic hurricane season. For now, the Hurricane Bill projected path predictions have it remaining inHurricane Bill Projected Path Watched Closely the Atlantic Ocean for the moment. However, Hurricane Bill's projected path may bring it on land within the end of the week, though people on land still have a lot of time to prepare.
The Hurricane Bill projected path still gives the storm a few days to become a real, threatening hurricane. It remains 1100 miles east of the Lesser Antilles, with maximum winds up to 75 MPH. However, the Hurricane Bill projected path speculates that it will pack a punch when the week ends. However, other predictions have Hurricane Bill's projected path missing land altogether. Though Hurricane Bill may increase in strength over the next few days, there is still a good chance that it may not make landfall.
Hurricane Bill is projected to become a major hurricane by Wednesday, as it begins to get closer to land. The first land to be threatened could be the Virgin Islands, as Hurricane Bill may skirt the northern edge. It is Bermuda that might get hit by Hurricane Bill by the end of the week. The Hurricane Bill projected path is still being watched closely, in case the best case scenarios are wrong and it does hit land.
