This follows Secretary Gates’s visit just last week to Beijing for discussions with Defense Ministry officials. On the Huffington Post, I have a piece that looks at the current state of U.S.-China relations in the context of these visits: “The process of repairing [the U.S.-China relationship] appears to be off to a rocky start. A key objective of Secretary Gates was to get China’s military leadership to agree to a wide-ranging dialogue on strategic issues, including nuclear weapons, ballistic missile defenses, space weapons, and cyber warfare.

Nice to see you again. Another day beckons and we will begin ours by attempting to hustle one of the short people off to the schoolhouse. Wish us luck.

Lots of records broken (something about some Phelps guy, I dunno) and lots of reason to celebrate. So, we want to know…did you watch the Beijing Olympics, or did you skip them?

Michael Phelps- he won his 8th medal- all gold these games-and that puts him in a league of his own. Go USA! Or as my youngest says “Go Americans”.  This has been an incredible Olympics thus far- I loved watching the Romanian win the marathon last night and the Jamaican sprinter. But Phelps! He is from Baltimore just as I am and I am loving it.  He is doing the sport good and making us here very proud. I just keep smiling- and we are all talking about it and it is just so cool to have so many different people relating to each other because of one swimmer. Seriously- the old, young, men, women, kids, policemen, nurses and doctors- all feeling good today because a fellow Baltimore boy won some gold. Thanks Michael Phelps! Tags: beijing...

At TimesOnline, it was reported that the beautiful voice that rang through the vast Bird’s Nest stadium singing “Ode To The Motherland” wasn’t that of the cute, 9-year old Lin Miaoke, the girl wearing the red dress and had her hair in pigtails.  The voice belonged to a seven-year old Yang Peiyi and the reason why she wasn’t allowed to appear in person to sing the song was reportedly because she had crooked teeth and her appearance i...

It’s common - and heartwarming - to see the winning smiles of Olympic athletes. They represent dreams coming true. Ever wonder who’s caring for those smiles? After all, dental and craniofacial injuries are common for athletes, an no one wants to stand on the podium with a missing front tooth… well, maybe in hockey, but this is the summer olympics we’re talking about. A little Internet research revealed that Carestream Health, formerly Eastman Kodak’s Health Group, has a hand in the dental care for our athletes at the 2008 Olympics.

These works are part of the author’s Masters thesis. With the 2008 Beijing Olympic Summer Games fast approaching, there has been much speculation as to how the Olympics will impact China’s socio-political development. On one hand, Western international news organizations such as CNN and the BBC predict the Olympics could become highly politicized with human rights protests. The Chinese news agency Xinhua, however, espouses the Chinese state’s upbeat view that these Olympics will help “integrate itself into the worl...

Gyorgy was also a canoeing gold medalist at the 1996 and 2000 Olympics. Sadly, at 36 years old Gyorgy Kolonics died Tuesday after collapsing in his canoe while training for the Beijing Games. The Hungarian Olympic Committee said that he lost consciousness and paramedics were unable to resuscitate him.  The committee cited heart failure as the probable cause of death. So sad, so young and an exceptional athlete. It reminds us that we are all vulnerable at times and heart disease is so prevalent.

According to media reports, Shanteau noticed a testicular abnormality but didn’t see a doctor until his girlfriend urged him to do so. Shanteau got the testicular cancer diagnosis a week before the Olympic trials. Shanteau’s doctors recommended surgery as soon as possible but saw no signs that the cancer had spread. After weighing his options and risks — and his life’s work to get to the Olympics — Shanteau decided to delay treatment until after the Olympics. He’ll be closely monitored during the games and will drop out if there is any sign his cancer is spreading. What...

My own interest in the topic arises from what it reveals about how Charlie is linked to us, to our family. While neither Jim’s nor my family has had a child with an autism diagnosis prior to Charlie, we’ve both noted autistic traits in relatives in both of our families. I’m Chinese American on both sides. I’m third-generation; both sets of grandparents emigrated to the US from Toysan County (Toysan is the Cantonese pronunciation of Taishan, the county’s name in Mandarin). All but a few of my very distant relatives are now in the US. Jim is Irish American by way of Hudson County in New Jersey and Brooklyn: Charlie’s Hapa.

And so the World Anti-Doping Agency, the body that monitors the use of drugs that enhance sporting prowess, is considering adding Viagra to its list of illegal substances, The Mail writes. The impotence pill is currently not an illegal substance in world sports, but athletes have found Viagra oosts blood flow to their lungs. WADA will conduct research into the effects of the drug, but the results are expected until next year, the paper writes. Meanwhile, this means that competitors at the Beijing Olympics will still be able to take Viagra, which has come to be nicknamed ‘Vitamin V’ in sporting circles, the paper notes.

I do not recall how the subject came up, but I do remember wondering why did we need to have a separate Olympics—-the Paralympics and even the Special Olympics—for disabled athletes? What if, with (not “despite”) their disabilities, the disabled athletes could still compete with those who were not disabled? Why have separate games? My colleague looked at me with much puzzlement and talked about the high level of training and “ability” of the non-disabled/regular/athletes: How could anyone with any kind of impairment (physical; intellectual) compete at the same level? A profile of double amputee sprinter Oscar Pistorius of South Africa in the May 14th New York Times made me...
