JOSEPH C. WE REMEMBER ISSAC HAYES: Veteran soul singer's body discovered Sunday morning near treadmill. Isaac Hayes, an Oscar- and Grammy-winning music icon who helped to usher in the disco era, died Sunday afternoon after he collapsed near a treadmill, authorities said. The entertainer was pronounced dead at Baptist East Hospital in Memphis an hour after his body was found by a family member, the Shelby County Sheriff's Office said. Sheriff's office spokesman Steve Shular said authorities received a 911 call after Hayes' wife, young son and his wife's cousin returned home from the grocery store and found him collapsed in a downstairs bedroom. Hayes was preparing to record a new album for Stax, the soul record label he helped build to legendary status. And he had recently finished work on a movie called "Soul Men" in which he played himself, starring Samuel Jackson and Bernie Mac, who died on Saturday.              "I am ...

Between the LinesDr. Jason Lezak Powers U.S. Veteran U.S. Olympic swimmer Jason Lezak (pictured second from left), 32, delivered a blistering anchor leg to win the gold for the U.S. 400-meter freestyle relay August 10 in Beijing, China. The U.S. 400-meter freestyle relay team of Lezak, Michael Phelps, Cullen Jones and Garret Weber-Gale came from behind to win the exciting race, upsetting France, whose anchor, Alain Bernard, had brashly vowed to "smash" the U.S. The 6'4", 205-lb. Lezak trailed Bernard--who had started the day as the world record holder in the 100-meter freestyle--by half a body length when the two swimmers turned from the final wall. When I flipped at the 50, and saw how far ahead he was, knowing he was the world record holder, for a split second a thought crossed my mind: There is no way," Lezak said. "But I said 'You know what?
