Phelps will make millions in endorsements: With Phelps winning a record eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics, he is set to bring in possibly tens of millions of dollars in endorsements each year. "Michael came out of the Athens Games an American sports hero," said Michael Lynch, head of global sponsorship management at Visa. "He's coming out of these games a global sports icon." Phelps could shortly be placed in the same realm as soccer star David Beckham and golfer Tiger Woods.

Couple says cop who pulled them over killed dog:
Michael Gonzalez and his girlfriend are demanding a policeman be fired after they were pulled over along a Texas road, as they were speeding to get to a hospital to save their dying dog. When Gonzalez tried to explain the situation to officer Paul Stephens, he responded, "It's a dog. It's OK. You can get another one. Relax." Stephens' superiors did not find him guilty of misconduct, but have ordered that he attend counseling.

Tropical Storm Fay heads for Florida Keys: Roughly 25,000 tourists and locals have evacuated the Key West region due to the powerful winds and rain of Tropical Storm Fay. However, despite the obvious decrease of customers, many bars and restaurants are remaining open for business. There is worry from local officials that these business are downplaying the seriousness of the storm, but the business owners feel confident they'll weather the storm.

Caylee's mom may be released:
Three bail bondsmen from California have flown to Orlando, Florida to help Casey Anthony get out of jail. Casey's attorney called the men to help pay the $500,00 required for her release. Casey Anthony -- who has been jailed since July 16 on charges of child neglect, lying to authorities, and obstructing an investigation -- still must adhere to certain rules if she is released. According to bounty hunter Leonard Padilla: "I somewhat believe that, in her own mind, the mother has given up some truths in the statements she has made. It hasn't worked for 30 days, so let's try something different." If Casey is released, she must wear an electric monitoring device.

Caylee Anthony; Where is her car seat? It is missing. If the mother took her to the airport to someone, or was sending her with someone the car seat would be required. Find the car seat and perhaps find the child. Why haven’t the airport video’s been looked at? With witnesses who say they saw her in an Atlanta airport? So far the stain in the trunk has not been identified as human and the Sheriffs office only calls it a “mysterious stain”. This same thing was done to the couple vacationing in Spain and their daughter was taken.The police first said that they found the childs DNA in the trunk, which is now dropped.Finally they are looking at a known child molester living in the area, seen that day lurking around. And finally they are looking for the man seen that night carrying a little girl in her p.j.’s! FINALLY look for the living child, please.
