The author shares the life stories of Venus and Serena Williams, who charged onto center court in professional tennis at the end of the 20th century with a force never before seen in the sport. No other women tennis players have matched their strength, their speed, or t! heir overall athleticism, and none have achieved the status an! d celebr ity they have gained on and off the court as they powered to the number one and two rankings in the Women's Tennis Association (WTA). Venus and Serena Williams represent in many ways a shift in attitudes concerning women in sports, particularly African American women. By playing tough tennis, they conveyed to the public that it was acceptable for women to be strong, to have muscles, and to compete.
When Venus and Serena first appeared in the public eye, their hair bound in beads bespoke their ethnic pride, the braces on their teeth belied their youth, and their grit and determination enabled them to withstand challenges concerning the attitudes of these young African American women in what had traditionally been a white-washed sport. This book shares their stories, and it provides a way to consider the impact of race, gender, and culture, and the influence these have through sport in shaping popular culture. Includes a timeline and a bibliography of print and el! ectronic sources for additional research.

Save the Green Planet (Tame Cover)
- This is a jaw-droppingly bizarre movie from Korea that mixes scenes of gruesome torture and violence with comedy and heartbreaking profundity. Perhaps as a result of too many amphetamines and violent incidents in his past, beekeeper Lee Byeong Gu (Sin Ha-Gyun) has become convinced that an unscrupulous business tycoon (Kan Man-Shik) is actually an alien from the planet Andromeda. Lee's frumpy a
Nan-hee (Soo Ae, Love Letter), a spunky, 30-year-old struggling novelist, is torn between 22-year-old baseball prospect Jung-joo (Lee Tae-Sung, Time Between Dog and Wolf) and childhood friend Hyung-tae (Lee Jung-Jin, Love Story in Harvard). But the game is nearly over: Jung-joo's baseball career may take him to America, and Nan-hee may lose Hyung-tae to his old flame. And besides, why would Nan-hee want to risk her friends! hip with Hyung-tae by trying to take their relationship to another level?
With a career stranded at second base, a nagging mother, and potential romances in danger of slipping away, Nan-hee needs to hit a home run to win at the game of life. Fresh, romantic, and hilarious, Two Outs, Bottom of the 9th Inning is a Korean TV drama series about striking out, making a comeback, and betting it all on that final turn at bat!Title: A MAN WHO WAS SUPERMAN (Korean 2008 movie DVD, HK version) Starring: Jeon Ji Hyun (actress of My Sassy Girl, Blood The Last Vampire, Windstruck), Hwang Jung Min, Jeon Yun Cheol (director) DVD Region: Region All / Free Languages: Korean Subtitles: English, Chinese DVD Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 Running Time: 106 minutes Format: NTSC (Please ensure your DVD player is compatible) Synopsis Song Soo-jung is a producer going on her third year at a small company. Her specialty is human interest stories. She is driven to produce these shallow stories for the sake of her ambition of one day becoming Korea's own Oprah Winfrey. However, she is reaching the end of what's left of her pride. One day, after months of not getting paid, she leaves her office with the company camera to produce a story. On her way she comes across a robber, but she is saved somehow by Superman in a Hawaiian shirt. "Superman" claims he's unable to tap into his supernatural powers as the bad guys have placed kryptonite inside his head. He doesn't let that get in his way from helping others. Soo-jung can see this will make a good story and, with a little tweaking and a little fabricating, she produces the Superman Saves the World documentary which goes on to be a ratings hit. But the true story behind this "Superman," including the bullet and not the kryptonite that is lodged in his brain, help! s the frosty, calculating Soo-jung to see what is truly important in life.A sensitive, blue collar sad sack hopped up on conspiracy theories and sci-fi is convinced that aliens have infiltrated human society and are planning to destroy the planet at the next lunar eclipse. He sets out to kidnap his boss to torture him until he confesses to his alien identity and stops the invasion. Of course, itâs hard to confess to something thatâs just a delusion in a sick manâs mind.
