Caster Semenya allowed to keep gold medal
2009-11-19 18:30:00 After all of the controversy, Caster Semenya will be allowed to keep the gold medal she earned earlier this year.Shortly after Caster won the Women's 800m at the World Championship it was alleged that Caster wasn't really a woman at all but was a man masquerading as a woman. Allegations ran around the web as her sexuality was brought into question, gender tests were done and it was finally revealed to the world - that Caster was actually intersex. Caster has no ovaries but does have internal testes.Questions are still being raised though:The 18-year-old is waiting to hear whether she can continue competing as a woman after being asked to undergo gender tests by the IAAF, but will keep her...
Harvey Milk & Billie Jean King set to receive Presidential Medal of Hon
2009-08-05 20:51:00 Earlier this week the list of Presidential Medal of Freedom recipients were announced. Along with familiar names like Desmond Tutu, Stephen Hawking and Chita Rivera there were unfamiliar names like Pedro Jose Greer Jr and Janet Davison Rowley, and there were two very familiar LGBT Names: Harvey Milk and Billie Jean King. The Medal of Freedom was originally established by President Harry S Truman in 1945 to recognize civilians who had "an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors" for their efforts during World War II. I am excited an happy to see Billie Jean King and Harvey Milks names listed as this...

I want a medal AND a chest to pin it on. (Commutation 5)
2009-02-16 15:48:00 That is what I believe was a fire burning in a building on campus as I drove to work this morning. A little ways up from this picture was an ambulance sitting by the side of the road, giving me a little more reason to think I was right that this wasn't just steam.So I began my day by bravely slowing down to take a picture of a possible fire/steam plume. What have you done for humanity?Update: I just looked at that picture, and not to overstate the case, but I'm pretty sure that photo is a miracle. If you look just under the sign off in the left 1/3, it's pretty obvious there's a floating cross there.

Olympic Bragging ? Medals, Medal Counts & Other Observations by Evan Palmer
2008-08-30 00:25:00 Another Olympics, Beijing 2008, has finished with an especially sublime opening ceremony to remember it by. And world records by Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt. Even if Michael's unlikely run seemed a little too luck-struck by half. How long was the Croatian swimmer suspended in the water about a single millimeter from the touch bar? There has been the requisite chest thumping and teeth gnashing. Medals counts broadcast and fawned over. Reporting that probably can't help being boosterish although a few stars so overshadowed everyone else that we could cheer for them without impairing our patriotic credentials. Usain Bolt leaps to mind. We were told ad nauseum that the USA ?won? the 2008 Olympics because they won the most medals. This is almost equivalent to saying that if China won 49 gold medals and the USA won 50 bronze medals then the US ?won?. In effect, we are weighting gold, silver and bronze the same which doesn't make sense even to the great unwashed hordes. Simon Forst...

The thirst for a medal
2008-08-24 02:51:00 India finally managed to get a couple of medals at the Olympics. Three sons of the nation saved our face from yet another humiliation. A couple of days back there was an entire nation praying for the success of three boxers who managed to sneek into the quarter-finals of their respective category. All of a sudden there was so much hype with television channels interviewing their parents and friends and celebrations all around as if we had won the Gold medal. Two days into all this unnecessary hype, which I am sure would have made these poor players all the more nervous, 2 of them lost in their quarter-final bouts and the 3rd one finally managed to get into the semi-finals. Now the entire nation is happy again and content with even a bronze.This has been the story for almost the past 50-60 odd years for India and this nation with a population of 1.13 billion, boasting that they are the 2nd most populous country in the world has not produced a single Gold medal in any of the Olympics....

MICHAEL PHELPS WINS EIGHTH GOLD MEDAL!!
2008-08-17 05:28:00 U.S. Olympic Swimmer Michael Phelps just won his record-breaking eighth Gold Medal tonight with his participation in the 4 x 100 relay. Congratulations, Michael for being a great Olympian and a "cool muthafukca." Some of you have asked me why I used that term "cool muthafukca". I got it from the movie "Pulp Fiction" , where Samuel L. Jackson -- in a classic performance -- ask for his wallet, the one called "Bad Mother Fucker". Well, I didn't want to use that exact term so I altered it. The point is that Phelps is a cool person in and out of the water. In the water, he cooly destroys the competition. Out of the water, he's a cool person to meet.

2008 World Hockey Championships: Medal round.
2008-05-17 18:05:00 The 2008 World Hockey Championships will be completed this weekend as the final two matches of the tournament will be played at the Colise Pepsi in Quebec city.The two hockey super powers, Canada and Russia, will play the gold medal match on Sunday. Both teams have gone thru the whole tournament without suffering a single loss. Russia needed to go thru a shootout session twice during the tournament; once against Belarus and once as they faced the Czech Republic. But both times, the Russian team claimed the victory. Alexander Ovechkin, Alexander Semin and veteran Sergei Fedorov lead Russia's offense with 10 points each.On the Canadian side, the team went perfect all tournament long. All the games were won during regulation time even if a couple of games were very disputed. Yesterday's 5-4 victory against the Swedes in the semifinal match was everything except an easy one. Also, a surprising 2-1 result over Norway during the group phase helped raise some doubt about the team's cap...

Army Soldier to Receive Medal of Honor
2008-05-02 20:33:00 From Army Times: On Dec. 4, 2006, [Spc Ross] McGinnis was manning the turret in the last Humvee of a six-vehicle patrol in Adhamiyah in northeast Baghdad when an insurgent threw a grenade from the roof of a nearby building. “Grenade!” yelled McGinnis, who was manning the vehicle’s M2 .50-caliber machine gun. McGinnis, facing backwards because he was in the rear vehicle, tried to deflect the grenade but it fell into the Humvee and lodged between the radios. As he stood up to get ready to jump out of the vehicle, as he had been trained to do, McGinnis realized the other four soldiers in the Humvee did not know where the grenade had landed and did not have enough time to escape. McGinnis, a native of Knox, Pa., threw his back against the radio mount, where the grenade was lodged, and smothered the explosive with his body. The grenade exploded, hitting McGinnis on his sides and lower back, under his vest. He was killed instantly. The other four men survived. From Blackfive, a...
