- San Francisco Chronicle -- Barry Bonds
Barry Bonds left Sunday's game against the Oakland Athletics after the second inning with irritation in his left knee, a day after the San Francisco slugger connected for his 719th home run. Bonds is day to day. The seven-time NL MVP had surgery on his left knee after the 2004 season ended, then underwent three operations on his right knee last year. Fans booed when A's starter Esteban Loaiza walked Bonds on four pitches leading off the second. He scored on Steve Finley's double to left-center two batters later, but was clearly uncomfortable running the bases and hobbled home with a grimace on his face. - Bond (Musical Act) -- John Barry
Speaking of Madonna, she's just the latest in a long line of Bond singers. Matt Munro, a Sinatra-soundalike, sang From Russia with Love. Shirley Bassey nailed Goldfinger. Other artists who lent their voices to 007 are Tom Jones, Nancy Sinatra, Paul McCartney and Wings, Lulu, Carly Simon, Sheena Easton, Rita Coolidge, Duran Duran, a-Ha, Gladys Knight, Tina Turner, Sheryl Crow and Garbage. In 1969, Louis Armstrong sang "We Have All the Time in the World," a song used in the body of the film On Her Majesty's Secret Service. (The film didn't have a title song, just a sterling John Barry instrumental.) Poetically, it was Armstrong's final recording, shortly before his death. - Bond (Musical Act) -- Bond Films
Icarus was a character in Greek mythology (many Bond films and characters in literature refer to characters in old stories such as this). Daedalus and Icarus tried to escape from somewhere by making wings from feathers and wax, but Icarus ignored his father's advice about not flying too close to the sun, so his wings melted and he died. - Bond (Musical Act) -- Bond Theme
Both reviled and revered for their unorthodox take on classical music, the string quartet Bond is composed of classically trained former session musicians Tania Davis, Gay-Yee Westeroff, Haylie Ecker and Eos. While Gay-Yee and Eos had played for artists as diverse as the Cocteau Twins, the Spice Girls and Talvin Singh, they were jaded about the backseat role classical musicians play in pop music. Teaming up with Ecker and Davis, the quartet decided to put the strings front and center -- and to liven things up by involving electronica and world influences. The resulting fusion has infuriated classical music purists but has raged across Europe, where people don't mind a little booty-shaking with their Brahms. It doesn't hurt that the players are eye-catchingly cute. "Explosive," off the 2004 release Classified, was selected as the theme song for Australia's 2004 Olympic games coverage. - Bond (Musical Act) -- James Bond

Donovan (Gene Barry) has a meeting with a confederate and gets chased by some bad guys. Meanwhile, Anne Langley meets with Col. Victor Redmayne (Richard Todd), an agency director, who tells her that her husband wants a transfer. - James Bond -- John Gardner
It is ... debated where James Bond was born. According to John Pearson and his book James Bond: The Authorised Biography of 007, Bond was born in Wattenscheid, a small town near Essen, Germany. Charlie Higson, in his novel SilverFin states that Bond was born in Switzerland. - Bond (Musical Act) -- Music
As Bond mature and gain confidence in their identity and musicianship, it becomes clearer they have hit on a nerve and a need globally for music that is both uplifting and transporting. They have proven they had the courage and foresight to stretch the creative boundaries. - James Bond -- Pierce Brosnan
The former James Bond star was with his kids in a Malibu mall outside a restaurant when lensman Barry Rosen began taking pictures of him. Pierce responded by saying, "Why don't you get a real f---ing job," according to Rosen. - James Bond -- Le Chiffre
On his first mission as agent 007, Bond and an agent named Carter worked cooperatively in an attempt to capture international bomb-maker, Molloka. At a mongoose/cobra fight in Madagascar, Bond and Carter conducted surveillance on Molloka but, due to a foolish mistake made by Carter, the suspected criminal realized he was being watched and attempted to escape. Bond pursued Molloka through the jungle, up an enormously high construction site and finally to the Nambutu Embassy, where he attempted to arrest the suspected bombmaker. However, Bond found himself surrounded by Nambutu soldiers, who died after he shot Molloka and caused an explosion that partly ... destroyed the embassy. The incident infuriated the British government, as Bond had only been instructed to capture Molloka, but the criminal's cell phone led Bond to discover a terrorist plot to blow up a gigantic prototype Skyfleet airliner at Miami International Airport. Bond managed to stop the terrorists from succeeding and killed a man named Carlos, who had replaced Molloka as the criminal responsible for destroying the airliner.
