Carson said he was "humbled" when President Bush draped the nation's highest civilian award, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, around his neck Thursday.But such accolades are routine for the doctor who persevered through a childhood of poverty and urban violence to become the youngest department head at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and a benefactor distributing thousands of scholarship dollars each year.Four months ago, Carson was at the White House to receive a Ford's Theatre Lincoln Medal, awarded to individuals who exemplify the spirit of the 16th president.

Baseado no sistema id Tech 3, o jogo simula combates travados na Europa e no Norte da África durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. É o terceiro jogo da série a ser lançado, embora seja o primeiro a ser lançado para Windows (em 2002), além do único a ser lançado para Linux.O personagem principal do jogo é o tenente Mike Powell, do exército americano, que trabalha para o Escritório de Serviços Estratégicos (OSS, em inglês), uma agência secreta americana da qual, mais tarde, surgiria a CIA. As missões variam consideravelmente, incluindo resgatar aliados atrás das linhas inimigas na França ou atacar posições alemãs na Noruega.A terceira missão, porém, é uma das mais empolgantes, pois retrata a invasão da Normandia no Dia D. Essa parte é geralmente comparada ao filme O Resgate do Soldado Ryan (1998), de Steven Spielberg, e fez tanto sucesso que foi recriada para os c | | By: So Jogos Irados | | |

| | EA Offers Refund for Medal of Honor's Absent Online Play - SendMeRSS | | 2008-02-12 14:48:49 | | EA Offers Refund for Medal of Honor's Absent Online Play EA is offering a refund to anyone who purchased the Wii version of Medal of Honor Heroes 2 in Australia who was disappointed to learn that the game lacks online functionality. EA removed the online play from the game and, oopsie, kind of forgot to mention it to anyone, including the folks who designed the game's cover, which indicated that online was an included feature. So did the instruction manual. So did EA's website. EA admitted the documentation errors, apologized for any confusion their mistake may have created for consumers, and offered to give folks their money back. All of which is exactly the right thing to do, but why'd they take the online out in the first place? IGN speculates that the company would need to run local servers to cut down on lag, and decided they'd rather not. EA Australia, meanwhile, "do not wish to comment."

| | | Ron Paul on Voting Against Congressional Gold Medal for the Dalai Lama | | 2007-10-17 07:00:00 | | Today, the Dalai Lama was awarded a congressional gold medal from the United States. But before the House of Representatives approved the $30,000 funding for the award on September 13th, Representative Ron Paul (R-TX), known as Dr. No for his typical opposition to government spending programs that he does not see authorized by the Constitution, had this to say as the lone voice opposing the measure. Enjoy.Mr. PAUL: Mr. Speaker, with great sadness I must rise to oppose this measure granting a congressional gold medal to the 14th Dalai Lama. While I greatly admire and respect His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and fully recognize his tremendous status both as a Buddhist leader and international advocate for peace, I must object to the manner in which this body chooses to honor him. I wonder if my colleagues see the irony in honoring a devout Buddhist monk with a material gift of gold. The Buddhist tradition, of course, eschews worldly possessions in favor of purity of thought and action. Buddhism urges its practitioners to alleviate the suffering of others whenever possible. I'm sure His Holiness the Dalai Lama would rather see $30,000 spent to help those less fortunate, rather than for a feel-good congressional gesture. We cannot forget that Congress has no authority under the Constitution to spend taxpayer money on medals and awards, no matter how richly deserved. And I reiterate my offer of $100 from my own pocket to pay for this medal--if members wish to honor the Dalai Lama, all we need to do is pay for it ourselves. If all 435 of us contribute, the cost will be roughly $70 each. So while a gold medal sounds like a great idea, it becomes a bit strange when we see the actual cost involved.Note: The PAYGO rule was not violated. | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |

Review: Medal of Honor: Airborne
(September 16th, 2007 - 1:38AM)
(4 / 5 stars)
One sentence summary: A polished game with some nice touches, but I can't help but feel like it's just another WWII shooter.
Things I liked about Medal of Honor: Airborne:
Excellent single player campaigns.
If you've read the Metacritic reviews for this game, my review should seem familiar. That's because I agree with a lot of the points in the other reviews and have repeated them here.
Airborne consists of about a half dozen lengthy campaigns. Although the first few are unremarkable, the last three campaigns are unique and a lot of fun.
Parachuting into the level is a nice effect.
You begin each campaign by parachuting onto the map. This allows you to start the level wherever you want, rather than in a fixed place. Although this barely makes the game less linear, it adds a new dimension and is certainly a positive development.
