When the Olympics kick off this weekend, take a close look at the winners. When they throw their hands up in victory it’s not pride they’re feeling, more likely it’s triumph. The Chicago Tribune reports on an interesting new study that has parsed the two reactions. Psychologists say pride comes after an initial wave of triumph and as is heralded by some distinguishing behaviors: “head tilted back, a small smile, chest expanded, and arms away from body with open hands.”

What happens when you lose your Olympic medal? Not have it taken away—just outright lose it? The Wall Street Journal says it happens more than you think. And trying to get a replacement can be an Olympic feat of its own. Snowboarder Shaun White says he once found his gold medal in the seat pocket of his mother’s car. VIDEO

The New York Post says a priest at St Francis of Asssisi in Manhattan was approched by a man who said “I want to tell you something,” and then went on to confess to murder. The priest immediately went to police. The Archdiocese says because this happened outside the context of a formal confession the church wasn’t bound by its usual policy of confidentiality.

There’s a good guest column in the New York Post this morning by a guy named Paul Karrer, who was the 5th grade teacher of the Colorado shooter. “What happened,” Karrer wonders, to the boy he knew as Jimmy—“well-dressed, neat, wore glasses, liked to read and excelled in all academic areas—before asking a tough question: “James Eagan Holmes passed through my life for one year. Could I have done anything else to lead to a different outcome? Probably not.”

Warning: This might be too cute to handle. The Washington Post has pictures and VIDEO of two three-month-old cheetah cubs, who made their debut at the Smithsonian Zoo yesterday. Just ahead of the Olympics, they showed off their 100-meter dash for the delighted crowd.

“The family that sues together apparently stays together,” says the LA Times.  “Modern Family” stars Ty Burrell, Julie Bowen, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet and Sofia Vergara filed suit against 20th Century Fox at a Los Angeles courthouse yesterday, claiming that their contracts are illegal. In the past, the casts of “Friends” and “Seinfeld,” have successfully banded together to force studios into renegotiations.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune says it’s never too late to save your house from bad decorating choices. But first, you have to be able to spot them. They highlight seven sins—anything painted mauve; track lighting; flowered sofas—and then offer ways to update your style.

New York Times wine writer Eric Asimov says it’s hard to say what the right price for a bottle of wine is. But if you can spend $20 at the liquor store you’ve got a great selection. He’s got 20 specific recommendations, in no particular order, that are good not only in the summer heat but all year long.

An ode to sweet corn in the Washington Post this morning. Calling it the “touchstone of summer,” the paper has ideas about how to prepare the seasonal starch—from a chilled corn cocktail to a corn caramel custard— and a primer on what kinds are the sweetest.

Pretty great photo on the front page of the Baltimore Sun this morning. Yesterday was the 87th annual Chincoteague Pony Swim, an event immortalized in Marguerite Henry’s novel, “Misty of Chincoteague.” 145 wild ponies participated, swimming the 75 yards with help from local firemen.
