What is Known: Mohamed Atta, who
was a hijacker aboard Flight 11 that crashed into the
North Tower of the World Trade Center, Marwan al-Shehhi,
who was aboard Flight 175 that crashed into the South
Tower of the World trade Center and Ziad al-Jarrah,
who was aboard Flight 93 that crashed in Shankesville,
traced back to a common venue: the Al-Quds mosque in
Hamburg, Germany. Atta, 33, had an Egyptian passport,
al-Shehhi, 23, had an United Arab Emirate passport and
Jarrah, 26, had a Lebanese passport. Their actions began
to take a common course by late 1999 when the three
men all reported their passports missing and obtained
new passports to replace them. By doing so, the trio
erased any visas or other tell-tale signs of previous
With their "clean" passports,
the trio applied in mid May 2000 to the US consulate
in Berlin for tourist visas to the United States. When
they received their visas, they bought air tickets to
the United States.
Al-Shehhi was the first to arrive in America.
He landed at Newark airport on May 29, 2000 and, moving
to south Florida, rented quarters for himself and Atta.
He then opened up a joint bank account at the Florida
Sun Trust Bank.
Atta meanwhile proceeded by bus from Berlin
to the Czech Republic. After being turned away at the
border for lack of a proper visa, he returned to Berlin,
got a transit visa, and returned to Prague. The next
day he flew from Prague to the Newark and joined al-Shehhi
in Florida.
Jarrah was the last of the trio to arrive.
He went from Berlin to Munich, then caught a plane to
Atlanta, Georgia on June 28. He then joined Atta and
al-Shehhi in South Florida.
The trio took flying lessons on small
single-engine planes between July and December 2000
Atta and al.-Shehhi at Huffman Aviation in Venice, Florida,
and Jarrah at Florida Flight Training Center in Venice,
Meanwhile $109,000 flowed in to the Atta
and al.-Shehhi bank accounts rom an United Arab Emirates
bank account in the name of "Mustafa Ahmed."
Although the Hamburg trio did not fly
jet planes or airliners, in December 2000, Atta and
al.-Shehhi had three hours apiece of training on a jet
aircraft simulator in Opa-Locka, Florida and purchased
flight deck videos for Boeing jetliners. (Jeddah had
no known training on jet simulators or aircraft).
In January 2001, they made short trips
abroad lasting less than 2 weeks. Jarrah flew to Dubai
Airport in the United Arab Emirates, Atta flew to Madrid.
In April, Atta made a 2 day journey to
Prague. In Prague, he was observed meeting with Ahmed
Khalil Ibrahim Samir al.-Ani, the second Secretary of
the Iraqi Embassy in Prague, and an Iraqi intelligence
officer. That summer, Atta made a trip to
Spain, and two trips to Las Vegas.
In late August, Jarrah bought Global positioning
equipment and cockpit schematics for Being 757s. Atta
bought a first class ticket on Flight 11; al.-Shehhi
bought a first class ticket on flight 175 and Jarrah
bought a first class ticket on Flight 93.
Atta and Shehhi forwarded most of the
remaining money in their bank account to the account
in the United Arab Emirates and proceeded to Boston.
On September 10th, Atta then rented a car and drove
to Portland with one of the Jeddah conspirator with
a false passport. The next morning, Atta and his companion,
took a connecting flight to American Airlines 11, which
three of the other Jeddah conspirators boarded from
Al.-Shehhi, meanwhile, in Boston, joined
four Jeddah conspirators on Flight 175.
Jarrah went to Newark, where he joined
three Jeddah conspirators, on Flight 93.
Here is what is not known:
1. Why Atta made his side trip to Prague before coming
to the USA in June 2000. Presumably, he needed to meet
someone in person just before going to America. But
it is not known who he saw in Prague, or why the side
trip took on such urgency that he had to return to Berlin
by bus to get a visa.
2. Who sanctioned and provided the $109,000 that was
funneled through the United Arab Emirates account to
the Hamburg Conspirators. The identity of "Mustafa
Ahmed" has not been determined.
3. The purpose of Atta, al.-Shehhi and Jarrah trips
after completing their flight courses in December 2000.
Did they change their mission?
4. The purpose of Atta liaison with Al.-Ani in Prague
in April 2001. Did Al-Ani provide Atta with instructions,
documents of any assistance? Did Atta have any further
contact with Al.-Ani after he was expelled from the
Czech Republic later that April?
5. How did Atta, Al-Shehhi and Jarrah join with the
13 Jeddah conspirators who arrived in America between
May and July? Someone, somewhere, must have arranged
their meeting. The relationship between the Jeddah and
Hamburg conspirators is unknown. What was their order
of battle and who was in command?
6. The purpose of Atta subsequent 12 day trip to Spain
in July 2001.
7. The purpose of Atta's two brief two-night trips
to Las Vegas. There was no observed meeting between
Atta and any other hijacker in Las Vegas. If he met
anyone on these trips, who was it?
8. The purpose for Atta trip from Boston to Portland
on September 10th. Atta and his companion chose to pass
through the security checkpoint in Portland instead
of Boston. Were weapons or tools smuggled through for
him in Portland by another party?
9. The job of the Hamburg trio in carrying out the
attack. None of them had any known training on an actual
jet (Atta and Al-Shehhi had a maximum of 3 hours in
a simulator). There is therefore no reason to assume
that they, as opposed to the Jeddah crew, piloted the
airliners on flights 11, 175 and 93. Had they been involved
in a prior plot? Did they perform preliminary intelligence
work on the Boeing 767s and 757s, which would account
for their cross-country first class flights tro Las
Vegas and elsewhere? Did they organize the hotels, driving
licenses, false identities and other logistics for the
Jeddah conspirators? Were they on the planes or did
they provide their boarding passes to others?

6th August 2007, 8:09 PM
It's probably just a glitch... Can anyone show me what does the board look like when it's full? I can't find it on the site...
11th August 2007, 12:04 PM
I've never seen it full. It's annoying when it keeps your stuff from your previous data.

Before I even open my eyes, I am conscious of the inhale and exhale coming from the closet. The exhale sounds like the soft gurgling of a coffeemaker near the end of its brew cycle. I sit up and scratch my fingernail from wrist to elbow; a welt rises like a hard line in the road. I guess I'm not dreaming. The breathing is still there, feather-like in my ears but regular as a metronome. They told me this would happen. "Plastic Respiration" is what the man who helped me called it, and he assured me that once the product reached "maturity" it would no longer need to "breathe. " I'd almost made a joke when he said this, because the look on his face was free of the irony I felt our situation required. Only a weak little joke, along the lines of: Mark never matured in life, leave it to him to wait till death to do it! or So you're telling me I still haven't escaped his snoring? But I bit my lip and nodded, worried he was waiting for any hint that I was not the right kind of customer. I took the thing home in an improbably small vacuum-packed bag, unpacked it, took in the measure of its flaccidness, and wept. I ignored it for a week. I had been sleeping on the couch since the car accident. This is the first morning I have faced our bedroom in daylight alone.
I hold my breath a second so that the Plastic Respiration catches up with my own and we breathe together, me and the Skin, until it starts to sound enough like a perversion of Lamaze that I roll over into Mark's abandoned indentation in the bed and let the sheets I still haven't washed soak up the only tears, I promise, darling, that I'll shed for him today.
Whenever I asked about some piece of evidence that called his fidelity into question, Mark liked to speculate on how the things he did now might affect his next life, or lives. "The way I see it," he'd say over his sixth beer of the night, "I'm sort of ruining the next guy's learning curve by being good and getting all the lessons on the first try. It seems best to make lots of spectacular mistakes and go out on more limbs without a clear way back to the trunk, if you know what I mean. Otherwise I'm kind of fucking him over, right?"
"First off," I'd lay in, "I think it's rich you just assume your next life is as a human male. What a joke! A man is the luckiest thing on the planet. What makes you think you'll ever deserve that particular privilege again? I vote female slug. I vote female slug born in a salt factory!" I was moody as a feral cat. I knew that the mistakes he planned to make, was currently making, had more dramatic measurements than mine. I also knew that I would not leave him. All of his indiscretions broke over me pre-forgiven, as if my pride had met its match.
"Slugs are hermaphrodites, babe," he'd croon, putting down the beer and stalking across to where I'd have my swollen feet up on the arm of the couch, "and anyway I have to be male. So that I can come and find you wherever you are, always female and luscious, and put a baby right here," he'd start rubbing my belly and kissing his way up my legs. I'd just begun to show at the three-month mark and he was already demanding that I leave my job at the jeweler's. "I can't wait to find you over and over and over again." And then the way he was so gentle with me as we lost our breath made me drop it until my next suspicion, which always came quickly.
It's just like I imagined it would be, inside. What if death did not us part? Close and hot, but comfortable and right-feeling. We are taking a stroll along the shore a couple towns over because Mark's being recognized would result in a scene. You could never get close enough to her. The salt air smells amniotic. I imagine that my sense of smell is sharpened through his nostrils. He was always more sensual, more alive than I was. In him, I am taller, more commanding of my space. I stretch out all the way to the fingertips, to the scalp, to the tip of our cock. I stretch full out rather than shrinking in on myself, like I do in just my body. That Mark was—is—one of the most handsome men I have ever seen still makes me flush with pride. My face went hot in front of the mirror when I finally slipped into the Skin this morning, my head swimming in him. I've fallen in love with him again through our reflection. The way I would have if I'd gotten the chance to meet our baby. Women follow him, us, with their eyes far more often than they ever did when we were out together, hand in hand. I never knew what he was up against, but I knew instinctively to forgive him. I forgive us, Mark. Seeing the curious, sometimes openly hungry, looks in the eyes of these strangers is erotic in a way I did not anticipate. I almost want to make love to them all through his skin. Wouldn't that be the perfect revenge, to fuck them all?

O'Toole traded in for Blades' £2m?
Yet another Hornet could be about to join Kevin Blackwell`s Blades after rumours surfaced that John Joe O`Toole could be about to join Sheffield United in a £2m move!
The free-scoring midfielder - who has been tracked by Fulham and Wolves for the past 2 months - is rumoured to be on his way to Bramall Lane before tomorrow night`s deadline.
OK so VitalWatford don`t usually deal in speculation (ed- we love it really) but Sheffield Utd fans site www.sheffieldunited-mad.co.uk reckon an unnamed source has told them that O`Toole was in Yorkshire yesterday for talks about a multi-million pound move…
Despite scoring a hatful of goals early on in the season, O`Toole has seen himself frozen out of first team action at Vicarage Road since the arrival of Brendan Rodgers.
The gaffer clearly doesn`t rate his all round ability enough to play him regularly and with Don Cowie due to sign from Cally as well as the sparkling form of Ross Jenkins we reluctantly have to admit that JJ is no more than a squad player these days…
£2m for a fringe player that Wolves don`t value at even half that? Sounds like a good bit of business to us here at VitalWatford - if it`s true that is!


text: Blog Details The Great Tooth Brushing Debate Continues Author : gail weisman Published Date 12/24/2014 0 Comments Share this post ?The study, published in the British Dental Journal, looked at the brushing advice given by dental associations across ten countries, toothpaste and toothbrush companies and in dental textbooks. They found a wide range of recommendations on what brushing method to use, how often to brush and for how long. The researchers found no clear consensus between the various sources, and a 'worrying' lack of agreement between advice from dental associations compared with dental textbooks.?The research found that the most consistent form of teeth brushing included gently moving the brush across the surface of the teeth in a horizontal manner, attempting to release any food particles or bacteria that becomes stuck on the surface."Brush gently with a simple horizontal scrubbing motion, with the brush at a forty-five degree angle to get to the dental plaque," Professor Sheiham said. "To avoid brushing too hard, hold the brush with a pencil grip rather than a fist. This simple method is perfectly effective at keeping your gums healthy. There is little point in brushing after eating sweets or sugary drinks to prevent tooth decay. It takes bacteria from food about two minutes to start producing acid, so if you brush your teeth a few minutes after eating sugary foods, the acid will have damaged the enamel."The authors of the research are trying to have a more uniform and concrete form of teeth brushing, so that individuals do not become confused by the multiple styles that have become recommended throughout the years."The wide range of recommendations we found is likely due to the lack of strong evidence suggesting that one method is conclusively better than another," lead author Dr John Wainwright said. "I advise my patients to focus their brushing on areas where plaque is most likely to collect - the biting surfaces and where the teeth and gums meet - and to use a gentle scrubbing motion. All too frequently I am asked why the method I am describing differs from how previous dentists have taught them in the past. What I feel we need is better research into what the easiest to learn, most effective and safest way to brush is. The current situation where not just individual dentists, but different dental organisations worldwide are all issuing different brushing guidelines isn't just confusing - it's undermining faith and trust in the profession as a whole."

Well, it's a light week for releases this week, but a few high profile titles are in the mix. Here's what's heading your way today!
Prometheus – Ridley Scott's non-prequel prequel to the Aliens franchise, Prometheus is an incredible looking film that will ultimately leave you cold. On the plus side, it does feature one of the stupidest character deaths in the history of cinema. So that's something. Stay for the visuals and Michael Fassbender's amazing performance, but the rest of the film is a bit of a dud.
E.T. The Extra- Terrestrial – One of the most successful films of all time, E.T. is perennially popular and makes its Blu-ray debut as part of Universal's 100th Anniversary home video celebration. The film is still a great family movie with some amazing moments, and even if it's aged a little, you can't help but love it.
Rock of Ages – One of the most spectacularly bad movies I have ever had the misfortune to see, don't be fooled by the A-list cast here. This movie is a train wreck from start to finish. And you can't even enjoy it for the great '80s music, because the movie completely destroys every song it touches. Ugh.
The Raven – Although I haven't seen this one yet, I have to admit it looks pretty cool for a thriller. John Cusack stars as Edgar Allen Poe in the final days of his life, trying to solve a serial killer case that's based on deaths in his books. Intriguing.
Dial M For Murder and Strangers on a Train – Two classic Alfred Hitchcock films make their Blu-ray debuts, and in 3-D no less. Not just crappy 3-D retrogrades, these films were actually released in 3-D back in the day, and these discs attempt to recreate that. Still, they're Hitchcock, so skip the 3D and just watch them for the suspense classics they are.
The Beatles: Magical Mystery Tour – Another movie making its Blu-ray debut, this late-era Beatles film is more of an acid trip than a proper movie, but it belongs in any Beatles fans' collection as one of the few official Beatles movies ever produced. Still, it's a pretty weird trip. But, hey, if you can sit through Yellow Submarine, why not this one?
Werewolf: The Beast Among Us – A direct to video premiere movie from Universal Studios, this werewolf B-movie thriller takes place in the 1800's and is a more gothic tale than, say, Teen Wolf. The production values are pretty good, and while it doesn't reinvent the genre, it is at least entertaining.
— Also available on Blu-ray and DVD this week: the original Red Dawn makes its Blu-ray debut; several TV series hit DVD, including The League: Season Three, Bones: The Complete Seventh Season, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Season Seven; French animated family film A Cat in Paris is a charming family tale; The Barrens is a new horror movie from Darren Lynn Bousman of the Saw films; and Jeffrey Dean Morgan stars in action film The Courier. —

Lectures about Bulgakov Marietta Chudakova sang Ukrainian song
Writer, literary critic Marietta Chudakova was surprised his admirers. The lecture, dedicated to the 125th anniversary of the birth of Mikhail Bulgakov, it was accompanied by singing in the Ukrainian language. This song can be found on the pages of Bulgakov's "White guard".

Marietta Chudakova
The class began in RIA "Novosti" on the theme of "How to recover a completely unknown biography of Mikhail Bulgakov, and what we still don't know?" Chudakova showed a thin booklet, it is very expensive. It includes students answers to the question: that they are close and interesting in Ukraine. The answers were different, including aggressive, written, according to Chudakova, under the influence of parents. But they went into the book for completeness.
Marietta omarovna the likes such experiments. It is, for example, I read with interest a school essay about what the 90s For Teens Chudakova has high hopes, therefore, travels around the country, meets with students in libraries. Delivered hundreds of books to schools from the fee for the publication of his work declined. The important thing is to contact "smart people 10 to 16 years." "All my efforts are aimed only at adolescents have not been corrupted. You see how this pure soul. And they are in families instill morals: I want to live – learn to spin. Created such an atmosphere where corruption is the norm," said Chudakova.
A book for teenagers, she believes "notes of a doctor" Bulgakov. Meanwhile, long-term surveys of students their favorite novel "Master and Margarita". Read it starting from the age of 12, when there is no interest to Pushkin and Gogol: "In Bulgakov Teens can be lured into classics to bring to Pushkin, Gogol, Bunin, which are present in the works of Bulgakov".
With the widow of his favorite author Elena Sergeevna Bulgakova Chudakova was familiar since 1968. And recalled the story greatly mangled the publication of "the Master and Margarita" in the journal "Moskva" in 1966. Committed an act of vandalism Deputy editor in chief Boris Evgeniev in order to free up the place under his own opus "In London the fall". It so happened that in 1977, fate brought Chudakov with this person in the House of creativity of Latvia in Dubulti. Desperate Marietta in the forehead asked whether everything is as they say. Evgenev and involuntarily blurted out, and then sternly asked: "are You a party member?". Upon learning that no, he added: "If you were a party member, I would sue you for defamation in the party".
According to Chudakova, Bulgakov did not want to stay at home, he wanted to go and printed in Europe. Elena took out "heart of a Dog" in Germany under the lining of the coat to there to publish it…
Biography "Biography of Mikhail Bulgakov" Chudakova collected bit by bit. About it because almost nothing was known. So she talked with hundreds of people up to the 92-year-old classmate of the writer Evgeny Bukreev.
Chudakova has studied the collection of denunciations, among the defendants found those who have been to the Bulgakov's house…
Marietta Omarovna sure if Mayakovsky shot himself, they would have agreed with Bulgakov. This death has made on Bulgakov strongest impression. Dying Bulgakov, according to the testimony of his wife Elena Sergeevna, wrote: "Mayakovsky to read as follows". And Chudakova confident that Bulgakov in the end of life who came to see him told Boris Pasternak (and he liked) about "the Master and Margarita". "Doctor Zhivago" says Chudakova – the only novel, which is similar to "Master and Margarita".
Marietta omarovna spoke about the historic context: history of Russia would have gone differently if not for Lenin and Stalin". Chudakov was surprised that we go out 100 books about Stalinism, and at the same time in the Mari village establish a monument to Stalin. Local officials claim that on private land you can put any monuments. Want some citizen to erect on its site a monument Chikatilo, Goebbels or Himmler – please. And we have no business?..
In 1966 the first in a collection of selected prose was published in Bulgakov's "White guard", reminded Chudakova. And began singing a song in the Ukrainian language. Her piece is available on the pages of "the White guard" – sung Petlyura headed by Colonel Kozyr-Leshko:
The guy behind the guy, guy,
Gai greens…
There screaming divinely
Volik little black…
Screaming… screaming,
Not vmila Galati.
Tai hired kazachenka
The viola grata.
Chudakova sang it for the first time, visited recently in Kiev in Bulgakov Museum with a lecture.
In conclusion, the Marietta Omarovna praised by modern historians, particularly Alexander Pijikova involved in the study of the old believers. And reminded of Katyn, where "throw it away 22 thousand Polish officers, killing 300 people every night." Also Chudakov said that he remembers "Dmitry Kiselev decent man" – she stood, note in the holding company, which he directs. Stream lectures at that time, was online.Related posts:

Auctioneer in Columbia County removes flag, ring after complaints lodged
Published 12:00 am, Saturday, September 18, 2010
NEW LEBANON -- A Columbia County auctioneer has pulled four Nazi items, including a flag and a ring, from a Saturday auction after receiving several complaints from people who found the items offensive to Jews.
Those who flooded the owners of Meissner's Auction Service in New Lebanon with calls and e-mails Friday said they considered Saturday's sale of Nazi memorabilia exceptionally objectionable because Yom Kippur, a day of atonement and one of the holiest days on the Jewish calendar, began at sundown Friday.
"We don't promote Nazism," said Dolores Meissner, who, with her husband, Keith, has operated the auction service for the past 22 years without ever encountering such a groundswell of protest. "I listened to everyone and they listened to me. They enlightened me and I think they came away understanding there was no malice on our part."
Meissner said she was not aware that it was Yom Kippur when she scheduled Saturday's so-called "sportsman's auction," which will include hundreds of hunting and fishing items for bid.
It was just four of those items included on an online listing and available for viewing at Friday's preview -- a Nazi medal with a sword insignia, a German dagger letter opener, large Nazi flag and Nazi ring -- that stirred a burst of protest.
Seth Rogovoy, of Great Barrington, Mass., editor of Berkshire Living magazine, learned of the Nazi items being auctioned in an e-mail from a friend who was disturbed by it. Rogovoy used an e-mail blast, Facebook and Twitter to urge people to call the Meisners and register their disapproval. Rogovoy, who is Jewish and who writes frequently about Jewish music and culture, enlisted members of a group he's active in, the Jewish Federation of the Berkshires.
Several people called Dolores Meissner, including Rogovoy, who characterized their conversation as respectful on both sides.
"I'm thrilled she's pulling the items from the auction," Rogovoy said after learning she made the decision a few hours after they spoke. "I would hope those items don't go up for auction again. Selling them glorifies Nazis and what they stood for, and has the potential for misuse."
Meissner said she did not know the provenance of the Nazi items and could not immediately determine the consignor. She and her husband deal with more than 3,000 consignors, or sellers, from across the Northeast.
Saturday's sportsman's auction will include more than 450 items from dozens of consignors.
"I didn't see the Nazi items come in, but we figured out a way to remove them legally from the auction," she said. She did not know when the consignor would pick them up or what the auction service's permanent policy will be, since consignors have brought Nazi items in the past and likely will do so in the future.
"This all happened so fast and furious over a couple hours that I haven't had time to consider what we should do in the future," she said.
She said it's hard to anticipate what someone may or may not find offensive.
For instance, they have consignors who bring them crudely stereotyped depictions of African-Americans on collectible items and they draw buyers rather than protesters, she said.
"You'd be surprised. Most times it's African-Americans who buy those items," she said.

In my opinion, had Sasha avoided injury and skated the whole of the 2009/10 season, she would have qualified for the olympics. The grand prix events would have removed all of the rust as it were. Shame
In my opinion, had Sasha avoided injury and skated the whole of the 2009/10 season, she would have qualified for the olympics. The grand prix events would have removed all of the rust as it were. Shame
Your point about Sasha is interesting. I wonder, however, how realistic it is for ladies over 25 years old to really be able to compete in Olympic level figure skating. I plead ignorance here, but it seems that some Olympic sports, especially gymnastics and figure skating, that require great flexibility cater to really young competitors these days.
As for the age thing, Irina was 26 I think when she won the 2005 world championships and 27 when she was the Olympic bronze medalist. But she hadn't taken three years off competitive skating.
You will note that only 2 skaters over the age of 25 have ever won the Olympic title - the very first two (Madge Sayers and Magda Julin) when figure skating was a completely different sport and far less athletic than it is today (with most of the marks being awarded for the old fashioned 'school figures' segment as they used to be called - hence, the name 'figure skating'). As time has gone by and as the sport has become far more athletic (with the school figure segment being dropped altogether), the age of the winners has fallen to the point where only 1 winner since the second world war has been over the age of 22 - Shizuka Arakawa in 2006 (24 years 2 months). Indeed, 3 consecutive winners between 1994 and 2002 were all 16 and under. Looking at the statistics, I think it safe to say that beyond the age of 22, its extremely difficult to win an olympic title - probably due to the inevitable accumulation of injuries and the reduced suppleness/flexibility of the body as you get older. As I pointed out the other day, given that, a skater only realistically has two shots at winning an Olympic title given these statistics, the age eligibility rules should reflect that by reducing them by a year to "turn 14 on 1st July the previous year" instead of 15. Because of the rules, Mao Asada was unable to compete at the Olympics in 2006 and that left her with only 1 realistic chance at winning the Olympic title - which was unfair. She will find it very difficult to win 2014 when she will be 23 years 5 months old. As Michelle Kwan found to her cost when she tried to have one last shot at the Olympic title in 2006 at the age of 25, she could well find that she is unable to compete due to injury. Unfortunately, in figure skating, the older you are the more likely you are to be injured. That's why what happened to Mao was so unfair.

Shizuka might have had a fair chance even if she had been over 25 in 2006. This is a clip from this summer, her practising for ice show performance. She was 28 then and still managed 3Lz-3Lo, and her bielman position has improved since her competitive days, I reckon. Also she has grown as a truly artistic skater since her gold medal 5 years ago - that could have been an advantage she'd had over younger skaters in PCS.
So there's hope that there might be someone like her in the future, and why that cannot be Mao?
Shizuka Arakawa 3Lz-3Lo
her Yugao programme performed last October
(she hasn't lost any of her flexibility, looking at her signature layback inabauer too.)
No one can predict the future. Shizuka's win is a prime example of it. And we must remember that careers can have different sorts of satisfactory endings. It doesn't always have to be a Olympic gold medal.
I didn't realize we were strictly talking about Sasha's chances of winning Olympic gold last year. I thought the discussion was about her making the team. If she had managed her comeback better I think she could have made the team and performed well enough at the Olympics. But I would have considered her a long shot for the podium, maybe an outside medal contender. The way things actually played out, no way would she have beat Yuna and Mao probably not Joannie, even if she had been perfect. Or Mirai for that matter. Well... MAYBE if she had been PERFECT she would have edged out Mirai and Joannie but I'm talking perfect.
It does seem that 17-22 is the prime age for women. But if you look beyond the Olympic gold medal list there more success stories of women in their mid 20s.
Shiz's SS is amazing. Look at her deep edge. Everything is so effortless.
If Sasha was serious about any kind of comeback she should have come back in the 08-09 season and skated at the 2009 Nationals and possibly (probably given the skating at the 2009 Nationals) Worlds. She probably could have helped the U.S to 3 spots given Flatt's solid showing at Worlds. And she would have been much more competition ready and fit. Even if she still got injured and missed the 09 fall, and as it is she probably wouldnt have felt rushed to get back in top technical shape and gotten injured so badly in the first place.
One thing I think Cohen forget and was a bit delusional about was the technical level of womens skating was light years beyond what it had been when she left in 2006. Her silver medal skate at the 2006 Olmypics wouldnt have even made top 5 in Vancouver probably. So if she was a realist and at all smart she would have come back realizing she had to be a better skater than ever, atleast from a technical standpoint, and the only way to do that was to start preparing for her comeback atleast 2 years out from the Games.
25 isnt neccessarily too old. However when you come back in the Olympic season itself after 3.5 years just focusing on Stars on Ice, and are a suspect technical skater who contended but without winning a major title in what was a previously weak period of womens skating and are trying to come back in a much stronger one, then in that case yes 25 does become a bit too old.
Agreed, but this stuff is WAY in the past.
Yeah some skaters who are unusual late bloomers find success in their mid 20s. However they are the vast minority, one shouldnt assume without there being evidence for that particular skater one is "likely" to be in their amateur prime at that age, unless shown otherwise.
No offense to Shizuka, she was the best thing about the 06 Olympics but she was lucky to win that one much less another one. She did a great job at the Olympics but she didn't exactly put her name in the books like some of the other ladies.

This morning I showed a new listing in Huntington Woods. The cars were lined up as I left, with two other agents bringing through buyers. I had passed another broker and her clients on my way in. On this freezing cold Metro Detroit morning, that house is looking relatively hot.
Sure, it has great curb appeal. That does not hurt in the least. The pictures (yes the agent used more than one) show that the house is dated, but on paper it looks like a lot of house for the money.
No telling what will happen next, but there is a little take away here for you Southeast Michigan home sellers:
- There are buyers out there. They have money. They want to spend it and get a new house.
- Curb appeal rocks.
- A really good price out of the gate is sooooooooooo much better than the agony of endless price reductions as you try to "catch down" with the market.
- Yes, Virginia, it is January. People buy houses year round, not just in the spring and summer.
- Those buyers are out looking for a deal. Do you have one for them?

Wall Street Firms' IT Spending Still Rising, According to SIFMA/IBM Survey
In the face of billion dollar write-downs and massive personnel reductions, Wall Street firms continue to increase their technology spending, according to a recent survey conducted by IBM in conjunction with the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA). Of the 500 IT professionals within the financial markets industry that responded to the survey, about 200 were from leading Wall Street firms (universal banks and brokers/dealers) and the other 300 were from technology vendors, consultancies, infrastructure companies and other specialists that support the financial markets industry.
When Wall Street firm respondents were asked to contrast their IT budgets from 2007 to 2008, one-third suggested that their 2008 budgets had increased. That sentiment continued when asked about their IT budgets for 2009. The majority of IT budgets were expected to remain the same and/or increase in size going into 2009, easing most of the IT budget declines that might have been experienced between 2007 and 2008. In fact, smaller firms on Wall Street intend to be particularly aggressive, with half anticipating increased IT budgets in 2009 against only 8% who anticipate a decrease.
"Although the majority of survey respondents believe the sub-prime crisis was caused by factors unrelated to technology, this crisis is serving as a catalyst to increase the amount of money invested in technology/risk management initiatives," said Randy Snook, Sr., managing director and executive vice president of SIFMA. "At our member firms, people are being asked to do more with less and rely more heavily on technology. It is clear that changes are needed in our industry and that technology is an integral part of the answer but not the only answer. The anticipated technology investments are one of several important building blocks necessary to mitigate the financial impact of future disruptions."
While firms see risk-modeling and data mining/predictive modeling technologies as key areas with potential to drive significant business/operating model changes, most (67%) cite risk transparency as the primary future regulatory action impacting IT.
"Almost universally there is a recognition that further investment in risk-modeling is required in order to enable greater risk transparency, not only as a business imperative, but also in anticipation of future potential regulatory requirements," said Ian Hurst, general manager, IBM financial services sector. "However, with all firms focusing on this simultaneously we foresee a skills shortage and a battle for talent in the risk arena."
Key challenges cited by the Wall Street firms included implementation costs, given the complexity of enabling greater risk transparency, and limited IT staff/human capital with key IT and risk management skills being in short supply. This is expected to lead to a war for talent in this area, just as automation and rationalization are leading to thousands of job cuts in other areas.

Ithaca High School Math Seminar (Grades 10–12)
The Math Seminar at Ithaca High School provides advanced mathematics instruction for students who have exhausted the high-school mathematics curriculum. Over the course of the academic year, three graduate students introduce topics related to their research interests and then guide students in the development of their own end-of-term research projects. While by no means new research, the projects enable students to explore topics of interest. The purpose of the seminar, which meets at the high school during school hours, is to introduce students to topics that they would typically not see until their junior or senior year in college and to encourage more high school students to major in mathematics when they go to college.
The Math Seminar was developed and conducted for several years with NSF funding. It is currently funded by the Mathematics Department and the Center for Applied Mathematics. Please contact Dan Barbasch for more information. He organizes the seminar and occasionally observes.
Please sign up by Wednesday, May 31st if you plan to attend the student research presentations on Saturday, June 3, 2017.
Mathematics Competitions (Grades 9–12)
The Cornell Mathematics Department supports local students in a variety of math competitions. Oftentimes graduate students coach the students in preparing for the competitions. In February, the Mathematics Department hosts the American Mathematics Contents (AMC) 10B and 12B sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America.
AMC 10B and 12B information and sign-up form — please sign up by January 31st for the 2017 exam.
Math Explorer's Club Activities (Grades 8–12)
The Math Explorer's Club collection includes more than 40 modules covering a wide variety of topics accessible to high-school students. The collection was developed by graduate students supported by the NSF. Starting fall 2012 we are implementing two of these modules at Cornell each term.
See the schedule for more information.
Family Mathematics Program (Grades 7–10)
Together with Johns Hopkins University's Center for Talented Youth (CTY), the Cornell Mathematics Department and Center for Applied Mathematics will hold an all-day mathematics program for students in grades 7-10 and their parents/caregivers. It is the philosophy of the program that the family relationship is critical in nurturing the potential of students, so it is essential that each student be accompanied by a parent.
The next program is scheduled for November 5th. The registration deadline is October 30th.
Content, registration, and payment information
Numb3rs Math Activities
The Numb3rs Math Activities cover the mathematics behind each of the episodes of the popular TV series complete through the end of season 5. The collection was developed by graduate students supported by the NSF.
NSF Funding for Development of Materials and Activities
An NSF grant — EMSW21-MCTP: High School Outreach Programs (Award #0602193) — funds the development of materials and activities that give middle-school and high-school students experience with more advanced topics in mathematics. The PI on the grant is Mary Ann Huntley, with Co-PIs Maria Terrell, Kenneth Brown, and Edward Swartz.
Graduate students supported by the grant have produced materials for the Ithaca High School Senior Seminar, the Math Explorer's Club collection, and the Numb3rs activities described above.

She Changed My Life....for The BetterI saw her video for Rolling in the Deep on VH1 once and I was hooked. I went out and bought both of her cds because I wanted to know her new stuff as well as her old stuff. I never knew that someone could sing every emotion that I was feeling at that moment. She changed my life. I wasn't even in a relationship or anything but I've felt the way she's felt before and to hear someone sing out the passion and hurt, the love and desire she had for one person is just awe-inspiring. I have her on my iPod, on cds and I have shared the experiences I've had now with a lot of my friends. Not only is her music amazing, but she is an absolutely beautiful woman. I joke with everyone that she is the love of my life, she just doesn't know it yet! I have several different magazine clippings of her and her Rolling Stone cover is in a fr
Adele, don't stop. You have changed my life into an amazing musical experience that I've been missing for so long. "Set fire to the Rain," "Turning Tables," and "Someone like you" are my favorite songs on your newest cd. I can't wait to see what else you will bring to these turning tables love.

When the PS3 Slim was released, it no longer supported Linux, but Sony reassured owners of the original PS3s that Linux would continue to work on those systems. Sony has now backtracked and released a firmware update which removes the ability to run Linux on the original PlayStation 3, the last mass-market consumer PowerPC Linux device.
Sony claims this move is a reaction to the recent PlayStation exploit, but given that the exploit requires hardware expertise and doesn't enable piracy, it seems more likely that the company is using security as a convenient excuse to reduce expenses.
Meanwhile, the author of the exploit has announced he's investigating development of a custom firmware to preserve Linux support.

The East Literature girls are moving into some uncharted waters with some smooth sailing lately. The Eagles are boasting perhaps their best girls basketball team in the school's 17-year history and have moved one game from their first district championship.
The No. 2 seeded Eagles (22-7) captured their second win over David Lipscomb this season with a 44-31 District 10-AA semifinals win Friday, collecting a school record 22nd win in the process They meet regular season champ Christ Presbyterian Academy Tuesday on their home court.
"Back in June before summer camps, these girls set their goals high — they want to go to state,'' said third-year coach Kim Ellis.
"They said they didn't want to have to pay to park (at the state tourney),'' Ellis said, smiling. They wanted to be on the bus which took them directly to the gym (MTSU) without having to pay.
"I've gone back into the (East Lit) school annuals several years and I can't find a team which won as many as 22 games, I'm thinking it's a school record,'' she said. "I know we got to the finals of the district tournament two years ago before Ezell-Harding beat us.
"These girls have been a joy to coach, and they are all competitive and are setting their goals high,'' said Childress, whose leading scorer Kelli Cowan collected her 1,000th career point last month.
CPA girls in survival mode
Surviving a big-time scare, the Christ Presbyterian girls righted the ship and appear ready to defend their district tournament championship Tuesday.
Trailing by nine points late (32-23) in the third quarter, the Lions staged a fierce rally to escape an upset bid by Hume-Fogg and pull out a 38-37 victory. Sophomore Mallory Charpentier's short jumper with nine seconds left capped a furious rally in the final six minutes as the Lions survived two shots by the Knights in the closing four seconds.
CPA (27-4) finally grabbed the lead on a three-point play by post star Anna Mitchell with 1:11 left, then Hume-Fogg retook the lead, setting up Charpentier's late heroics.
"We just all came together at the right time,'' said the 5-10 Mitchell, who has scored more than 1,400 points and recently became the school's leading career scorer. "Our fans really got behind us after they were kind of quiet earlier. I started urging them on in the fourth quarter and they finally got pretty loud.''
"We showed a strong heart,'' said Coach Mike Ellson who lit into his team during a time out early in the fourth quarter. "We just weren't playing with the energy and intensity we needed to. Mallory really hit a big shot.''
"The sun will come up tomorrow,'' said Coach Angela Hubbard whose team lost to CPA in the district final last year, then beat the Lions in the region final. "We didn't take care of the ball against their press in the final quarter.''
Maplewood's Wilson suspended
Maplewood Coach Ty Wilson has been suspended for two games following an incident after his team's one-point loss at Overton Feb. 12.
Wilson got his second technical just after the game arguing with officials and has missed the Panthers' two games in the District 10-AA tournament at East Lit. He is expected back for his team's appearance in next week's region tourney.
Also, the Maplewood and Stratford girls programs have been banned from the 2011 tournaments and fined $2,000 each by the TSSAA following incidents just after their play-in tournament game last Saturday at Stratford.
A last-second shot by Stratford in overtime was allowed, giving the Spartans a 45-44 win although Maplewood protested that the horn didn't go off on time. A number of fights broke out and an irate fan hit the timekeeper in the head after the game. No security and no school administrators were present at the time.
The Maplewood boys reached the finals after a slow-down 34-24 win over CPA. They meet M.L. King in the finals Tuesday.
CPA was content to let Maplewood hold the ball without any action for nearly the entire third quarter after the Panthers had blown the Lions out earlier. "I felt like if we kept it in single digits, we'd have a chance to win at the end,'' said Coach Drew Maddux. "We had the game at our tempo, but we missed too many chances.''
So far in the hotly contested boys tournament, five games have been decided by three points, with two going into overtime.
Elsewhere in tourney action
No. 2 ranked (AP) Montgomery Bell Academy (21-5) crushed Pope John Paul II 69-35 Saturday in the DII sectional quarterfinals of the DII tournament, advancing to the final eight.
But because of losing in a tie-breaker in the final standings to McCallie, it pushed MBA out of a first-round bye and forced the Big Red into a sectional quarterfinal game Saturday in Memphis for a chance to go to state next week.
"You play with more of a sense of urgency in a do-or-die game like this,'' said MBA Coach Kevin Anglin after the game. "The strength of our team is our balance, and that was the key again (Saturday).'' Joe Guerre led a balanced MBA attack with 12 points.
The region champ Ensworth girls and boys got byes and move into sectional home games Friday and Saturday respectively.
• In District 11-AAA, the Hillsboro girls beat Brentwood for the third time this season and advance into Tuesday's final at Brentwood against Ravenwood. The top seed Burro boys (15-9) weren't as fortunate as, playing without the suspended Arthur McMillan, their leading scorer, lost to Ravenwood 51-39 in their semis game.
• After semis wins Saturday, the Overton and Hunters Lane boys advance to the District 12-AAA championship game Tuesday at McGavock. They split their regular season meetings. The surprising Overton girls upended Antioch and will play Glencliff for the girls title.
• Brentwood High senior Cameron Croy (215 class, DI) and Father Ryan star Wes Wesley 171 class DII) won their third state wrestling championships in a row as the tourney wound up Saturday at Franklin Agricultural Expo Center.
Franklin finished fifth in the DI team competition. Ryan, MBA and Brentwood Academy placed 4-5-6 in the DII tourney.

The UK has been subject to a "disturbing" number of cyber attacks, the director of communications intelligence agency GCHQ has said.
Sensitive data on government computers has been targeted, along with defence, technology and engineering firms' designs, Iain Lobban said in the Times.
There was a "significant" unsuccessful internet-based attack on Foreign Office computer systems this summer, he added.
On Tuesday, the government hosts a two-day conference on the issue.
Foreign Secretary William Hague convened the London Conference on Cyberspace after criticism that ministers are failing to take the threat from cyber warfare seriously enough.
It aims to bring together political leaders, such as US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and EU digital supremo Neelie Kroes, with leading cyber security experts and technology entrepreneurs such as Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales and Cisco vice-president Brad Boston.

My most absolute favorite thing is to find someone on what they say is their off day and they are still this fabulous. Daisy and super clear skin on her off day was walking very slowly when I first spotted her. As soon as I saw her I knew she would be an amazing model. I snapped her may be 50 shots and she nailed each and everyone of them. She has an incredible presence and personal style to go along with. Well, style for her is in her genes. Her dad is a high end New York city fashion designer Mark McNairy. So she grew up in fashion and in New York around Soho. She is at an age where she can do no wrong. Well I am not talking about some personal choices 19 year olds make. And that is just part of live and learn process. But I am just amazed she looked this good on her off day!! I am starting to think fashion designers should start casting girls like Daisy instead of regular models. And use regular models for runways. I have a feeling they will be whole hell of a lot more successful. Follow Daisy's blog left and right and her Instagram @daisymcnairy.
Daisy's off day outfit consists of dress by James Perse, Walt Disney watch, Converse shoes, Filson bag, ACL and Co. clutch. Piece of shit umbrella (her quotes), Jacket is a gift from her fashion stylist and interior designer uncle Scott Newkirk.
