Oscar Pistorius: The "Blade Runner"
by
Matthew Neuhaus
Oscar Pistorius gives hope and encouragement to people who suffer from foot and ankle disorders, as well as others who use prosthetics. One of the most common diseases we see in our office that leads to amputations is diabetes. Our main goal with diabetes is to prevent amputation but when amputation becomes a necessity, it is good for patients to know that it is still possible to lead a normal life.

Oscar Pistorius Has An Unfair Advantage (Again)
by
Blaine Moore
You may recall a couple years ago when Oscar Pistorius was banned by the IAAF from competing because they felt that his prosthetics gave him an unfair advantage over people that still had both of their legs. There had been some evidence he had an unfair advantage but the Court of Arbitration for Sport felt that the research had been rushed and that it was biased against Oscar and wouldn't allow it to be considered for banning him. Two of the researchers who helped the CAS come to that conclusion were Peter Weyand and Matthew Bundle, who have continued to analyze the research data since then and have now reversed their position about whether Oscar has an advantage or not.

One Year To Go Til Oscar's Olympics!
by
Gordon Bryan
On 19th July 2011, he ran 45.07 for the 400 metres at a meeting in Italy. That qualified him to run in the 2012 Olympics. Ok, good for him, but many many others have qualified, and many other will qualify. So, what makes him stand out? Well, his name's Oscar Pistorius, and he doesn't have legs.

The Secrets of Life
by
Cara Lyn Erickson
"The first rule of (the Secrets of Life) is: you don't ever talk about (the Secrets of Life)." This is a direct quote from Brad Pitt. But I'm going to talk about them, for just this one instance... because it's important that everyone knows these secrets. I mean, everyone knows them, of course... that's why everyone does them, but just in case, under the bizarre circumstance that someone didn't know one of these rules, I think it's best that we talk about them just this once. That way no one has an unfair advantage over anyone else in the game of life. (Like the time that paraplegic was allowed to run in the Olympics against those "non-prosthetic-legged" people... so unfair.)

Sports Arbitration
by
Aaron Dinkle
While legal disputes may seem to be somewhat unsportsmanlike, the fact is that it is a major part of modern professional sports. Sometimes it seems like the days of ole, when a sport was just a simple pastime engaged in by 'the guys' during leisure hours, are just a thing of the past. Is there anyone who still plays sports for the love of it?
