Robbery at the Beckhams'

Well, apparently Los Angeles Galaxy star player David Beckham and wife Victoria were robbed of valuable goods. According to reports two housekeepers took priceless pieces from the 'Beckingham Palace' as it is other called in Sawbridgeworth, about 30 miles to the northeast of London. Some personal items that were reportedly stolen included football boots, sportswear and designer clothes which were then put up for sale on Internet auction site eBay.

Police confirmed that they had arrested two people, a 56-year-old woman and a 55-year-old man from Essex, on suspicion of theft from a private address in Sawbridgeworth after officers were alerted last Friday. Though it is not explicitly stated that they are the crooks but by the looks of it and guessing ,my guess would be that they are the culprits.

The Beckhams' currently live in a $22 million Beverly Hills mansion but maintain the 'Beckingham Palace' as a base in London.

Jamaica Strikes Gold Again

Jamaica did it not only once but twice again on Sunday, at the 29th Olympic Games in Beijing, China. What did this small island do? Well, Shelly-Ann Fraser managed to win Gold in 10.78 in the 100m Women's final for Jamaica making this the first since 1988 that any country has won gold in both 100m Men and Women's Final. Not only did Jamaica manged to get gold but the girls had a sweep in being awarded all the medals; fortunately for us their was no separating Sherone Simpson and Kerron Stewart's time as they both were able to gain silver in a tremendous run especially by Stewart of 10.98 to claim the silver medals. It is the first in history that any country alone has medalled in the finals of 100m and the first that there is a tie in any race. I am sure this is a proud moment for the JA Girls and for Jamaica for finishing 1,2,2 to claim all the medals and to see our flags alone raising to our National Anthem. Well done girls, well done!

Marion Jones Sentenced to Prison

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- Marion Jones was sentenced Friday to six months in prison for lying about using steroids and a check-fraud scam, despite beseeching the judge that she not be separated from her two young children "even for a short period of time". "I ask you to be as merciful as a human being can be,'' said Jones, who cried on her husband's shoulder after she was sentenced.

After long denying she ever had used performance-enhancing drugs, Jones admitted last October she lied to federal investigators in November 2003, acknowledging she took the designer steroid "the clear" from September 2000 to July 2001. "The clear" has been linked to BALCO, the lab at the center of the steroids scandal in professional sports.

The 31-year-old Jones also was given two years' probation and supervised release, during which she will be required to perform 800 hours of community service. The disgraced former Olympic champion was ordered to surrender March 11 to begin her term.
