The Olympics have ended but during the last month we got a chance to witness some of the best athletes around the world. - At least those who perform at temperatures below those which water freezes. International competition has always amazed me, how certain countries can just dominate a field. Though I have noticed that in some international sports, the divide is quickly closing and other countries are catching up with their sport (i.e., China medalling in a curling event).

Here is my list of the top 5 Asian Athletes. The special Athletes who defy the conventional and perhaps stereotypical definition of being an Asian athlete- Subpar.

5. Apolo Anton Ohno - Sure, he is as Asian as Chinese takeout (not so authentic) but as an Olympic athlete, who has done more for his sport besides Michael Phelps? Ohno has won 8 medals spanning over 3 Olympics for short track speed skating. In the unpredictable sport of short track speed skating, winning consistently is a rare commodity. There are no lanes separating the skaters and slightest mistake can make the difference between a first place finish and a last place finish. Combine that with the fact that skaters are moving at insane speeds on a frictionless surface, while constantly making turns and, oh yeah, they have to still avoid contact with other skaters. Ohno is a great Asian American athlete and the face of short track speed skating.

4. Ichiro Suzuki - Long time outfielder for the Seattle Mariners. Year after year, the man regularly churns out 200+ hits seasons and 300+ batting averages with 30+ stolen bases. After spending the majority of his career in Japan as a superstar player, he crossed the pond to test his skills in Major League Baseball. Some people consider the Japanese league as less talented than the minor leagues in America. But boy was the grass greener on the other side. Ichiro's skills translated smoothly to American game. In his first year he was selected to the all star game, won the rookie of the year award and league's most valuable player award. The years kept on rolling and so did Ichiro. Now at the age 35, he doesn't even look he is planning to slow down soon.

3. Tim Lincecum - That's right, another fortune cookie athlete (concocted to be Asian with slightly less than pristine ancestry) is on the list. No position is able to dominant the game of baseball like the pitcher. Good pitching will always beat good hitting. Lincecum just so happens the best pitcher. Back to back, 2 years, National League Cy Young winner, and he is only 25 years old. Lincecum pitches with both power (a high 90's fast ball) and finesse (one of the best change-ups in baseball). The future looks bright for this kid and I look forward to writing about his future accomplishments on this blog.

2. Yao Ming - Nicknamed "The Dynasty", when he initially entered the National Basketball Association nearly 8 years ago. A fitting nickname for a man I consider to be royalty. The larger than life 7 feet 6 inch Center from China has been a pioneer and role model to current and future Asian athletes. Injuries aside, Yao Ming has arguably been the premiere player at his position for the last 5 years. When Yao is on the court, there is no denying that he a dominant force to be reckoned with. His combination of size and skill makes him the focal point of the Houston Rockets' offense. Conversely, on the defensive side of the ball, he creates problems for opposing players looking for easy layups underneath the basket. A nation with a population of over 1 billion people rests their hope on Yao Ming. In my opinion, no athlete has ever faced a more immense amount of pressure in succeeding than Yao, yet nobody handles success with more grace and charm than him either. The next generation of Asian basketball players in the NBA will likely have Yao to thank, since he is the reason many kids in China are picking up basketballs.

1. Manny Pacquiao - The Pound-for-Pound king of boxing is also my pick for the Pound-for-Pound champion of all current Asian athletes. Front cover of Asian Time magazine for good reason. You would have to be living under a rock for the past 2 years if you claim to be follower of sports and haven't heard the name, Manny Pacquiao. The meteoric rise of this boxing superstar is comparable to the rare success, achieved by the most legendary of athletes. Pacquiao has been voted fighter of the year, 3 times by Ring Magazine (the bible of boxing) and fighter of the decade. He holds a record of, 7 world Championship, in 7 different weight classes, which is an accolade that puts Pacquiao on a plateau generally reserved for greatest athletes in all of sports history. The dominance Pacquiao has exuded in boxing the past 10 years transcends to the accomplishments achieved by other sports legends such as Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Babe Ruth. Pacquiao is the reason for boxing's recent revival from the dead. Pay attention closely as Pacquiao may soon retire from the sport, which also could likely spell boxing's return to irrelevance.

Japanese Chin

Description

Appearance

Japanese Chin have a distinctive face.

Japanese Chins tend to pant a lot.

Japanese Chin stand about 20 to 27 cm (8 to 11 in) in height at the withers and weight can vary from a low of 4 lbs to a high of 20 lbs, with an average of 7 to 9 pounds being the most common. The American Kennel Club and the Fdration Cynologique Internationale give no weight requirement for the Chin.

Temperament

This breed is considered one of the most cat-like of the dog breeds in attitude: it is alert, intelligent, and independent, and it uses its paws to wash and wipe its face. Other cat-like traits include their preference for resting on high surfaces such as the backs of sofas and chairs, their ability to walk across a coffee table without disturbing an item, and some of the surprising places their owners often find them in. They rank 62nd in Stanley Coren's The Intelligence of Dogs, being of fair working/obedience intelligence. A companion dog, it is loving and loyal to its owner and typically happy to see other people, though a few are distrustful of strangers. Chin prefer familiar surroundings, but do quite well in new situations and are often used as therapy dogs because of this trait and their love of people. Very early socialization of Chin puppies leads to a more emotionally well-balanced Chin that is more accepting of different situations and people.

The Chin will bark for the purpose of alerting the household to the arrival of a visitor or something out of the ordinary, but are otherwise very quiet.

Chin were bred for the purpose of loving and entertaining their people. While typically a calm little dog, they are well known for performing many enjoyable antics such as the hin Spin, in which they turn in rapid circles; dancing on their hind legs while pawing their front feet, clasped together, in the air; and, some even ing, a noise that can range from a low trill to a higher, almost operatic quality noise, and which sounds much like oooo.

Health

This breed's flattened face contributes to a few Chin suffering from breathing and heart problems, as is common with brachycephalic breeds. Because they are a brachycephalic breed, temperature extremes (particularly heat) should be avoided. Luxating patellas (knees) and heart murmurs are other genetically predisposed conditions. The oversized eyes are easily scratched and corneal scratches or more serious ulcerations can result. Mild scratches benefit from topical canine antibacterial ointment specifically for eye application; more serious injury or ulcerations require urgent medical care. The Chin, as with most small breed dogs, can also have a risk of hypoglycemia when under the age of 6 months; this concern can continue in Chin that mature at 4 to 5 pounds or less. Some Chin do have seasonal allergies.

Care

The Chin's coat requires nothing more than brushing or combing once every day or two to maintain its appearance, with special attention being given to the area under the ears and legs and to the skirt; they have no coat odor and do not require frequent bathing. Chin are single-coated and single-hair shedders, much like people, and it is very seldom one will find a Chin with an undercoat. Occasionally, a Chin will have a light blowing of their coat once a year. Without fiber in the diet, they may need to have their anal glands expressed bimonthly. The oversized eye orbits contribute to moisture about the face and the skin folds in and around the nose and flattened facial area can trap moisture and cause fungal problems. The face should be occasionally wiped with a damp cloth and the folds cleaned with a cotton swab.

Diet is an important factor in the health and condition of the Chin, with many Chin being very sensitive or allergic to corn. Maintaining a Chin on a high quality kibble that contains no corn will do much to avoid skin and allergy conditions.

Due to low exercise requirements, the Chin makes a perfect condominium or apartment pet. The use of "housetraining pads" is recommended. The Chin is very easy to housetrain with many learning the use of a doggie door (some as young as 8 weeks old) in a day time with assistance from their person. Similarly, it is very easy to train them to the housetraining pads, or even a litter box, by limiting their area until they have mastered use of the pads or litter box.

History

The true origin of the Chin remains a matter of controversy. It is widely agreed that these dogs originated in China. Some maintain the ancestors of these dogs first appeared in Japan around the year 732, as gifts from the rulers of Korea, while others maintain that they were given as gifts to the Empress of Japan as early as the mid-6th century to 7th century, and even some saying they came to Japan as recently as around the year 1000.

The Chin were the dogs of Japanese nobility and each noble house bred to their own standards. Because of this, there are many variations of the Chin in any area from size to coat density, eye set, personality, whether they are compact and well-muscled or slender-boned and fragile in appearance, etc.

Professor Ludvic von Schulmuth studied canine origins by studying the skeletal remains of dogs found in human settlements as long as the 8th millennium BC.[citation needed] The Professor created a genealogical tree of Tibetan dogs that shows the "Gobi Desert Kitchen Midden Dog", a scavenger, evolved into the "Small Soft-Coated Drop-Eared Hunting Dog". From this dog evolved the Tibetan Spaniel, Pekingese, and Japanese Chin`. Another branch coming down from the "Kitchen Midden Dog" gave rise to the Papillon and Long-haired Chihuahua and yet another "Kitchen Midden Dog" branch to the Pug and Shih Tzu.

Though there is some documentation that indicates Portuguese sailors introduced the breed to Europe in the 17th century by presenting some to Catherine of Braganza, Queen Consort to King Charles II of England, there is more credible evidence that the first Chin were gifted by the Emperor of Japan to an American naval officer, Matthew Calbraith Perry, when Perry visited the Orient in 1853 to open trade with the East. Perry was gifted with a total of seven (7) Chin; however, only two survived the passage back. Again, there is controversy over whether Perry gave the two to Franklin Pierce, President of the United States, gave them to James Stirling, Rear admiral of the Royal Navy to take to Queen Victoria, or gave them to his daughter, Caroline Slidell, after returning from Japan. Caroline was the wife of August Belmont.

Translation needed, Japanese!?

Ok I am sending some photographs of the Grand Canyon (I live in Arizona haha) to my pen-pal in Japan and I don't want them to get bent so how do I say/wright "Photographs, Don't Bend or Fold" in Japanese? My Japanese is really bad and I can't find a good translation online... any ideas? Is there a better way to say it in Japanese if that does not translate well?

Thanks for your help!
