This Week in the Yahoo! Directory
Welcome back to our occasional feature telling you what's happening in the exciting world of the Yahoo! Directory -- America's favorite source of categorized Web destinations since 1995. Since our last meeting, our team of editors have gone deep into the Internet underbrush and brought back sites about things you're interested in now -- or soon will be.

Perhaps the biggest thing happening in the Directory has been our quadrennial gearing up for the Olympic Games. Each Olympiad brings its own stars, but we're ready with content on all the big -- and not so big -- events.

Of course, not every news story is as joyful as the Olympics, and we were moved to find good relevant sites when both Tim Russert and George Carlin died.

In spite of those tragedies, the world of entertainment continued to tickle the fancies of Yahoo! surfers, and video games such as Secret Agent Clank, Battlefield: Bad Company, Requiem: Bloodymare, and the Guitar Hero series made their presence known.

Not far behind was your (and our) continuing love of the movies, and we've created categories for such upcoming offerings as Spike Lee's "Miracle at St. Anna" and the proposed "Avengers" movie (teaming up Marvel Comics favorites Iron Man, The Hulk, and Captain America, among others). Television wasn't neglected, though, and we took note of both the Jonas Brothers and "Camp Rock."

As always, health concerns came to the forefront -- not only the injuries suffered by Tiger Woods (which sparked interest in ACL repairs) and Curt Schilling, but also such diseases as Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, Typhoid Fever, and summertime perennial Lyme Disease.

While no one can predict the future, you can be sure that if you're interested in something, we'll find the best stuff about it for you.
