even competing on the ski team, you compete as a team, which is very odd because you're really competing against each other. i used to train as much outside of the team as possible. >> why because you were giving away? >> yeah, i felt like wanted to try to get an advantage on those guys and especially my sport where the americans were pretty good, so a lot of those guys were good. you have a certain camaraderie more so with some guys than others, some guys i didn't get along with and some guys, we were really good buddies and roomed together. when you're actually on the hill and competing, i mean, it, you know, they may as well be from poland. >> you don't like the polish skiers huh? >> are you happy for one another at the end or is it all false pretense it's the perfunctory thing? you're human. >> yeah, you're home. i mean, you're generally happy for guys, but it's, you're not that fired. it depends on how your performance went. if you did what you meant to do, and you lost to them just barely, it kind of hurts, you know. if you boned it and they did very well, you're probably happy. >>

if it does, they will not be allowed to compete. not sit well with everybody. >> just because somebody has higher male hormones doesn't mean they won't be able to compete. there are problems with it as well, such as psychological problems that could come into play. >> reporter: the olympic policies will not make a determination of sex, only hormone levels. however, the process calls for >> that starts to look a lot like text testing to me when you evaluate all the other traits and physical aspects. >> reporter: alicia montagno, another runner, also sees problems with the testing. >> i think just doing the testing on the male hormone could be quite difficult, because everyone'ses hormone levels are different. we tend to have a higher level anyway. >> reporter: as for semenya, she just wants to put the 2010 championships behind her and to concentrate on running her best in london. jessica aguirre. >>> oscar pistorius, the olympic runner, also a double amputee, continues to inspire everybody. this was his race, he came up short and did

he seemso go in and out of competence. today, the judge is looking at him saying is he as of today competent stand trial and enter a guilty plea. >> all right. if not, if he is not competent then the plea deal becomes moot, doesn't it? >> plea deal is off. if he's found not competent, he goes back to the hospital and remains under treatment until some day in the future he becomes competent again and is brought back to court. this goes on with mentally ill defendants frequently in the criminal justice system. sometimes they are in mental hospitals for the rest of their life or a couple of years and they come back to court. we have to see. >> is there a standard length of time that he was deemed incompetent to stand trial? is there a time he would be locked up before they would make that determination again about going to trial? >> because he has criminal charges, he can remain locked up indefinitely as long as he's found not competent to stand trial. at some point if prosecutors decide to drop the charges, he then is just t

saudi women compete for the first time in the olympics. >> i think it really shows there is progress on its way, that we were allowed to compete it shows more steps will come in this is just an amazing thing. for women in saudi arabia, i think it can be inspiring to not give up on your dreams because it can and will come true. >> but have the women been used as pawns? we will speak with helen jefferson lenskyj, forthcoming book and minky worder. all of that and more coming up. this is "democracy now!," democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. the justice department has announced it won't bring criminal charges against the financial giant goldman sachs or any of its employees for improper trading of subprime mortgages during the financial crisis. a comprehensive senate report had called for an investigation of goldman in april 2011 after finding the firm had exploited unsuspecting clients by unloading subprime loans. goldman had aggressively marketed mortgage investments to clients at the same time that the firm was being -- betting against them. the actions helped

when you compete with the georgians, you want them to win? >> i want to win a gold, and i got close. i would say, it is a little difficult when the weather conditions and everything. when i get the metal, my country is usa right now. this model will go on them by a team. the women's archery team. i guess i have to get ready. we will see what happens. >> was there one team that you like competing for? >> i hope it is competing for the uss. they are actually supporting this staff. they put all their best to get us where we are. they did really well. in general, if you were looking back, it is in the top four and the first one. it is the first since 2000 for. >> i know you're open to compete at the real olympics in view of the year son might be an olympian as well? >> i hope so, he is very motivated. he did not get far in the trials, but he got a taste of it. he was so overwhelmed. he said, mom, you're my hero. it could not be any better than that when someone who i love more than anybody in the world tells me something like that. we look forwar

it could be competency to be executed, it could be competency to commit a crime. it could be competency to contribute to the decision as to whether voluntarily commit yourself to a mental hospital. it could be competency to participate in an abortion decision. so competency means many different things. the first thing you have to do as a scientist is ask the question, well, what does the law mean by it because if you want me to measure it, i have to somehow apply it. so going back to the question of free will, because a scientist can't operationally define it, they can't measure it, they're not really that much use to legal debates about free will. now, what does it mean on the legal side? i actually think the idea of free will or what is often referred to as volitional control plays a very big part in legal systems, but i think in the legal systems, we don't mean it empirically. we don't mean it as a factual construct. we don't mean that there is actual an idea that someone has free will and has made a conscious choice and that we can somehow measure it. i think

again if you know if they're murdoch or a farmer or you're putting out content you know try to compete once in america instead of always relying on monopolies the military and mayhem there were things which bring on the cause a report by. humans don't go away much more coming away stay right there. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. showing corporations rule the day. welcome back to the kaiser report i'm max kaiser time now to go to boston and talk with professor yanira barre yam founding president of new england complex systems ensor to professor welcome to the kaiser report remarks good to be here all right professor i want to get john i read your report and i think it's in stream way important that people take a look at this your report the food crises a quantitative model of food prices including speculators and ethanol conversion he looked at various possible causes for food price rises tell us what factors you eliminated as the cause of rises wish did your models conclude were the cause in g

if he has a monopoly position with satellites he can compete but when it comes to real competition he's a failure as a businessman always has been and harry's castigating the internet because it's providing competition to his model doing business which is out of business does he want what he wants to government basically give him protection you know if he's a buggy whip manufacturer he wants with cameron to give him protection as a buggy whip manufacturer and his model of doing business went out of date rupert is an octogenarian porn vendor and he's going the same way as porn is going the internet got rid of you know the porn market in l.a. that's getting room murdoch for the same reason you can get the same stuff online for free so just step off stage a little lonely old bat so here's a government again and this next story intervening into the markets creating chaos through choosing favorites and on top of this you have an election happening in america so of course all sorts of political parties are putting out platforms that are either stupid or a hoax here in the us right now farmers

>> i always tried to stay in shape to compete at this level. like about the senior olympics in maryland is every year at the national level it comes in every other odd year. >> tell me about joining. you can joins a an individual or you are encouraging teams to join. >> oh yes. that's great. if you are not a person into individual sports you can get a group of your friends together and be a team in soccer. we have friends that do 80-plus soccer team. it is fantastic. it is a competition against yourself but with inspiration with the other seniors. everybody from every level coming out doing it. it inspires you. especially me just coming in the senior category a few years back to say we can do that. nothing will stop me. the competition offers you a way to compete against yourself and see people all the time. people you have not seen a while you see them at the olympics. >> it is age 50 on up. it is in sections of five years. it is an advantage to age. >> when you are young you didn't want to do it. then you are the youngest in the age group. wh

they want to compete. they want to show the spirit. that's what they want. not the individual athletes. they cannot blame -- all our best efforts to win the gold. >> it is tricky thing for china. a couple days ago, you have this marvelous athlete who did brilliantly. people started saying, this cannot be right. the chinese authorities stood up for her. do you think there will be an expectation by the chinese authorities to show they are interested in fair play and perhaps come down tough? >> that's exactly what they want to do. in terms of her achievement, the thing for the chinese is a very tricky situation. they did not say something to clarify the atmosphere yesterday. in these cases, a wait-and-see approach. they may take further and a stiff afterwards. >> to go back to the beginning, you said this is not particularly new, this type of behavior. the >> inside the chinese national team, i do not think it is new. if one player has a chance to win against eight former, -- against a foreigner, why not guarantee the goal for us? >> we've got to stop. thank yo

and there are the women yet to compete.of her competition, she's the fresh face of american olympic boxing. grit and grace. slamming her not only in the ring, but in the pages of "vogue" magazine. delivering beauty in every blow. this is the first time women's boxing is recognize d as an olympic sport. >> i want to show everybody everything i can do, all the cool moves, everything i've learned. this is it. >> reporter: at just 6 years old, always trying to impress her dad. her father joined us from london. >> was there a time you didn't think it was a good idea for your daughter to be a boxer? >> oh, yes. from the beginning, i didn't believe much in boxing myself. once she started boxing, she showed she was different. >> are her brothers still boxing? >> no, everybody quit. >> they were clearing the way for their sister? >> yes, pretty much. we had no choice. she was the only one winning. >> after all, she's been in on a ten-year tear, winning 69 fights, just two losses, knocking down stereotypes every step of the way. >> w

the competency.s is entirely separate from the nature of the crime itself, whether he was competent during the actual incident. this is simply to determine whether or not he is competent to stand trial. once a judge rules on that, we are expecting the next part of the hearing. something we are looking for today is what jared lee loughner looks like. remember, throughout this entire time, this year plus, we have seen him appear in court with a shaved head, grinning as the charges were announced. in other appearances, having a loud outburst and ready to be tackled by the guards. we are looking to see what kind of mental and physical state that jared loughner is in today, kate. >> if loughner is found mentally competent and he enters a guilty plea, what is next here? >> reporter: what is next is the actual plea change. now, according to the court filings it certainly looks like that will be the exact opposite of what he is currently pled. he has pled not guilty at this point. the full expectations he wi

i think that we can't really be sure how much of his competency, assuming he's competent this morning due to the meds and how much of it is just that he's had a year or two to see what his future looked like as somebody who is saying they are incompetent after having severely wounded a member of congress and killed a federal judge, and maybe having seen what his future looked like in that regard he has come around to the conclusion, as i predicted all along, that, you know, he's going to be incarcerated for life one way or the other, so he might as well get on with it. >> if i could interject for a second. what it says to me, because he wants to plead guilty, it says to me he's a competent person because you want to plead guilty to get it over with now so you are not put to death. gregg: he could break down, change his mind, show no clear understanding of what is happening. anything could happen today and i think all those things are real possibilities. i want to switch to another case. this is james holmes the suspected shooter in the soloway movie theater massacre. apparently he was

and the fastest man on the planet will compete in the men's 100 meters, all straight ahead. i'll get my tongue twisting thing out of the way too. >> you know that ice bath looks pretty good. telling you about my foot walking around san francisco. >> similar to working out for the olympics. >>> and it is the end of an era. the most dominant in olympic history and it's pure gold. >>> at an olympics, uncommon talent is everywhere. but in their biggest moments, most memorable performers summon something else entirely. four years ago, he sped away in astonishing fashion. tonight, he hopes to make lightning strike twice. after being outticked at the end in beijing, london brings a chance to hold on this time for gold, appearances alone make him distinctive but on the track, it's inarguable. no one does more with what they were given. on the sand, their brilliance is in a partnership perfectly hone, one that seems only to sharpen when stakes are highest. after helping to vault the fab five to victory, she returns to take off twice again. talent got them here. but now london calls f

case. >> so still to t tofollow this here, when we use that word "competent" we mean competent now different issue from whether he was competent or sane at the time of the act, correct? >> very, very different. two different time-frames. when we take a look at the time of the act we talk about sanity or insanity. did he understand what he was doing? did he know the consequences of his act? and he might have. but then there is the issue once he is brought to court does he understand the proceedings and the consequences can he participate in hefense? and at is wre y he to havehe experts come in like they did today and say, you know, with the medication, he is a changed person. he may have schizophrenia but it's under control and he understands what is happening. >> the lawyers could have opted for an insanity defense? couldn't they have? what is the calculation for them in trying to figure out the right approach? >> big risk. and i think that there was something in on this plea bargain. the defense understood that he might get the death penalty with th claimof insity and tat is because even th

i competed for zimbabwe.e of 12, i moved to south africa, and started competing when i was 16. i had the dream to go to the olympics when i was 8 years old. my mom was a diver. i drew a lot of inspiration from her. i managed to get to the olympic games, sydney. >> you have two horses in the race for the olympics. there's the monaco contestants, how many? six, i heard? >> we have six athletes. >> six athletes. obviously, a number of south africans competing. you'll be supporting both i presume. south africa is an extraordinary country. i went to johannesburg just before the soccer world cup and i've had the great honor of interviewing nelson mandela. before that, a few years ago. incredible changes in your country. what do you feel about south africa today? >> i'm always optimistic about south africa. i think south africans are great people. it's a beautiful country. a lot of talented athletes and people. so yeah, i -- i'm optimistic about south africa. >> you must have met nelson mandela. remarkable man. >> y
