'Let's learn judo with Vladimer'

First we saw him shirtless while fishing.

Then he was pictured at the wheel of a massive racing truck and shooting dead a tiger in the Siberian forest.

He has also appeared operating a train, sailing on a submarine and co-piloting a fighter jet.

Now Vladimir Putin - the world's most manly leader - has released yet another display of his own masculinity: a DVD entitled 'Let's learn judo with Vladimir Putin'.

Today he presented the instructional judo DVD that shows him throwing an opponent to the mat.

'Let's Learn Judo with Vladimir Putin' is the product of collaboration between Putin - a black belt - and former World and Olympic judo champion Yasuhiro Yamashita.

At a nighttime presentation minutes into his 56th birthday, Putin said the title was little more than an 'advertising trick'. Anyone who watches it 'will be learning not from your humble servant but from real geniuses' of the martial art, he said.

Putin is a one-time judo champion of his home city St. Petersburg

Nonsense Issue

Toilets which do not face the holy Islamic city of Mecca are among a raft of design principles announced today aimed at making London's Olympic Park the most inclusive and accessible so far.

The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) want its procurement, design and construction framework - or Inclusive Design Strategy - to produce an ideal venue for people of all cultures, faiths, ages and accessible to disabled people for the 2012 Games and beyond.

ODA chairman John Armitt is confident that future generations will be left with London's "most accessible and inclusive public park and sporting venues" after the Games.

An ODA spokeswoman said "a percentage of general toilets will not face Mecca" out of sensitivity. The numbers have not yet been confirmed.

Special washing facilities linked to prayer rooms are also planned for the Park, set in multiculturally diverse east London.

Catlin on designer steroids

"We�ve known about designer steroids for many years, but up to now we�ve never been able to prove that someone is actually making them," says Don H. Catlin, a molecular pharmacologist and director of the Olympic Analytical Laboratory at the University of California at Los Angeles. Catlin led the effort to isolate and analyze tetrahydrogestrinone (THG), the compound at the center of the storm. "The fact that we finally characterized one is certainly no reason to celebrate. I�m much more worried about the next THG out there that we haven�t found yet."

Not everyone can afford a personal trainer who can make that tummy fat disappear in a blink of an eye. But, don’t despair. Top Olympic trainers have developed a set of nine perfect, flat stomach exercises that can help you reach those exceptional “Gold Medal Abs. The bad news is you do have to exercise, but the good news is you don’t need to do it every day and it doesn’t take a lot of effort. Women’s Health Magazine recommends three fitness sessions every week, not necessarily in consecutive days.

How Esquire Magazine's 75th Anniversary E-Ink Cover Was Made

How the E-Ink Cover Was Made

Esquire's 75th Anniversary E-Ink cover took more than a year to develop and traveled seven thousand miles (and then some) just to get into your hands. A quick map of the journey it took.

Shanghai, China

The issue's display screen, electronics, and batteries are assembled here, using components made in at least seven different factories. Hurdles overcome include flooding that destroyed 250,000 batteries, spur-of-the-moment regulation changes on the part of the Chinese government, and the Olympic Games. A very real countdown also begins: once activated in China, the batteries in the magazines will last roughly ninety days.

Dallas, Texas and Negras, Mexico

Glasgow, Kentucky

In other words, McCain is running against his own record.

To cite one example, McCain backed landmark legislation in 1999 that removed the walls between banks, investment firms and insurance companies. That bill allowed a company like AIG to expand beyond its traditional insurance business -- which is still profitable -- into exotic new products that ultimately brought the company down.

McCain, who told the Wall Street Journal in March that "I'm always for less regulation," now asks voters to believe he will be a champion of tough, unblinking oversight. He's shocked and outraged that Wall Street's preening Masters of the Universe threw a drunken toga party and smashed all the furniture -- but he helped buy the beer and told the cops to look the other way.

LondonTimes: Death of social conservatism in the USA

clipper's remarks: "America is imperfect. It has no divine right to be the world's leading nation. And yet - in this glorious political year - something about it sings. And as the American Olympic team reminded us when we looked at it and wondered at its multicolour, multi-ethnic vibrancy (more than 30 members were born abroad) this nation is ours. There is nothing wrong in wishing it well."

Nothing Sarah Palin and her followers can do will prevent America's steady movement away from social conservatism

To be precise; at one o'clock in the morning of March 21, 2005, President Bush put pen to paper and (inadvertently) consigned the politics of the Eighties to the trash.

He had been woken by his staff to sign emergency legislation designed to save the life of Terri Schiavo

It never happened. The federal courts backed the local courts (impeach them, the politicians cried, but nobody tried) and the Supreme Court yawned and raised an eyebrow and refused even to hear the case

And something stirred.

Nothing the voters decide this November will change this dynamic. Not even the fantastic Mrs Palin - the Iron Lady of Alaska - who is on the Republican ticket to serve a purpose but not, frankly, to serve in office

The Strange Death of Social Conservatism as the driving force in US politics was under way

No, America is changing and a new era is beginning

Three more gold medals move SA up to seventh position on log table. Oscar Pistorius stormed to victory in the 200m in Beijing yesterday to defend his 2004 Paralympic title and win his second gold of the 2008 edition.

The double amputee, known as the Blade Runner, beat the field by nearly a full second as he clocked a Paralympic record of 21.67sec.

That time, although slightly slower than his own 21.58 world mark, was faster than the efforts of several able- bodied competitors at the Olympic Games three weeks ago.
