POPSNorton, Morissette, Masekela and More Race to NYC Marathon Finish Line Edward Norton took home the gold medal at the New York City Marathon today—in the actors, musicians and performers category, that is. Norton finished the 26-mile race in an astonishing 3 hours, 48 minutes and 1 second. The 40-year-old Fight Clubber referred to his first experience as "phenomenal," participating on behalf of the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust, a Kenya-based charitable organization. The Strokes bass player Nikolai Fraiture and The Biggest Loser record-breaker Tara Costa both pounded the New York pavement as well, finishing just 26 seconds apart at the 4-hour, 23-minute mark.

POPSUm, Kenya? You guys OK? Finishing fourth in the men's category was another American, Ryan Hall. Hall, 27, is a rising star on the world running circuit and made headlines last year by running the London marathon in a stunning 2:06:17. Americans once dominated long-distance running, bringing home consecutive gold medals from 1970-82. Marathon legend Bill Rodgers won the New York City four years in a row from 1976 to 1979, and Alberto Salazar took walked away with successive victories from 1980-82. The marathon, which began in 1970 with a mere 127 runners, now hosts 38,000 athletes from around the globe, according to the marathon's Web site. Known for its diverse, punishing terrain, the annual event spans all five of New York's City's boroughs, finishing in the heart of Central Park. Keflezighi and Tulu will each receive $130,000 in prize money.

POPSObama Meeting with The Daliai Lama Is Delayed more @ clip source For the first time since 1991, the Tibetan spiritual leader will visit Washington this week and not meet with the president. Since 1991, he has been here 10 times. Most times the meetings have been "drop-in" visits at the White House. The last time he was here, in 2007, however, George W. Bush became the first sitting president to meet with him publicly, at a ceremony at the Capitol in which he awarded the Dalai Lama the Congressional Gold Medal, Congress's highest civilian award.

POPSSouth African Crossdresser Runs 800 Meters "The gender verification test is an extremely complex procedure," said a spokesman, "The investigations will take some days or weeks, and I'm not a doctor to give a conclusive answer as to his or her gender." The track and field sensation had a good laugh at that one. "Just cop a feel!" he said. "You'll have all the verification you need."

POPSPhelps Bounces Back from Loss with Record in 200-Meter Butterfly Michael Phelps broke his own record in the 200-meter butterfly on day four of the FINA world swimming championships. The victory came just 24 hours after the disappointment of his silver-medal finish in the 200 free. After that race, Phelps went back to his hotel, traded text messages with friends for an hour and then got his first good night of sleep since his arrival in Rome 10 days ago. One friend's supportive text message read: "I know you hate getting second, so if you want to call and let out some emotion, I'll be glad to listen." But Phelps has always been the type who responds better to butt kicking from defeats than back patting from friends. Tyler Clary, the other U.S. entrant in the race, said he could see it, too. "I could tell by his demeanor in the ready room that he looked like he was going after it," said Clary, who placed fifth. "He just looked like nothing was getting in his way."

POPSObama Family Feted in Paris
Millions of us here in the States are very touched and grateful for so much of the world's good will towards the Obamas. Thank you. We're quite pleased with them, ourselves although everyday we are bombarded with corrosive media coverage that finds something to complain about... such a torrent of ill-will the daily dose of politics in other places? Anyhow, President Barack Obama really is a good political leaders. He has integrity, honesty, moral values, vision, is very hard working and on the side of the people -- not much more to ask hope for, really. Although the fact that he's proven himself already successful in many ways is good too. (Although the constant rainstrom of slander might blind us a bit to that, here). This is a Totally New Experience for me, that's 4sure. The Pres gets a gold medal in Cairo and I'm glad. He's cheered on the streets of Paris (and Broadway, etc.) and I'm glad. Veterans at Normandy applaud him and I'm glad. It's a triumph 4 us all. Viva hum

POPSPhelps and Obama Leading The Way To Legalizing Marijuana Well folks, I've tired it and I didn't like it, so that probably makes me unpopular among the pot smoking crowd. For many years I didn't drink any alcohol either, so this clip isn't personal at all. I guess I realize the need for many to tune out with something whether it be sex, television, food, alcohol or weed. I think we are losing the war on drugs although I don't think that particular war has been mentioned for the past 8 years.
