Gold Medal and Shoes

Tommie Smith is selling the Olympic gold medal and Puma running shoes he wore during one of the most famous moments in sports history.

While accepting the gold medal for the 200 metere race at the Mexico City Olympics in 1968, Smith and bronze-medalist winner John Carlos bowed their heads and thrust up black-gloved hands in the air, as a symbol of Black Power, during the U.S. national anthem. The two athletes were banned for their racial protest, but later received major acclaim for their courage.

Smith, who is now 66-years-old, is putting his medal and the running shoes up for auction at M.I.T. memorabilia with a starting bid of $250,000. The sale is open now until Nov. 4.

So, why isn't he selling the item that means the most -- the black glove? There's a simple explanation for that. He lost it.

Protect yourself from HIV/AIDS and STDs

Men who have sex with men are at increased risk of contracting HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, as well as other STDs, including gonorrhea and syphilis. To protect yourself:

1.Get tested and have your partner tested. Don't engage in unprotected sex unless you're certain your partner isn't infected with HIV or other STDs. Testing is important because many people don't know they're infected, and others may not be honest about their health.

2.Use a condom. Use a new latex or polyurethane condom every time you have sex. Use only water-based lubricants, not petroleum jelly, cold cream or oils. Oil-based lubricants can weaken latex condoms and cause them to break. During oral sex use a condom, dental dam — a small piece of latex — or plastic wrap. Keep sex toys safe by protecting them with a condom or cleaning them before and after every use.

3.Be monogamous. Stay with one sex partner who has tested negative for HIV and other STDs and who won't have sex with anyone but you.

4.Limit the amount of alcohol you drink and don't use drugs. If you're under the influence, you're more likely to take sexual risks. If you choose to use injectable drugs, don't share needles.

5.Know the risks associated with sexual venues. Sexual venues such as bathhouses, sex parties and the Internet can facilitate multiple sexual partnerships and anonymous sexual encounters, as well as higher risk sexual behaviors.

6.Get vaccinated. Vaccinations can protect you from the serious liver infections hepatitis A and hepatitis B, both of which can spread through unprotected sex.

7.Remain vigilant. Potent anti-retroviral medications have reduced the number of AIDS deaths, but AIDS is still an illness for which there is no vaccine and no cure. Likewise, there isn't a cure for many other STDs, such as human papillomavirus or genital herpes. The best way to stay healthy is to protect yourself.
