VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- While the Vancouver Olympics aren't finished, themedalraces are -- and in spectacular model for North Americans. The United States is guaranteed 37 medals and Canada will termination with at least 13 gold medals. Both are the best of these games and put asunder of the greatest hauls ever at a Winter Olympics. The Americans will get away with the most medals by any mother country at any Winter Games. They also will bring home the bacon the medal enumerate for only the half a mo time, the other being at Lake Placid in 1932.
Steven Holcomb and the "Night Train" delivered the 36th medal, and ninth gold, for the United States by bewitching the four-man bobsled occasion Saturday. The 37th will come from the men's hockey team. Whether it is gold or greyish will be single-minded Sunday.
Canada invested $117 million and five years into an "Own the Podium" program that was imagined to realize the medals race. At least it bought the crop step. The Canadians have matched the dossier of 13 golds set by the Soviets in 1976 and Norway in 2002. It's also the most gold Canada has won at any Olympics, winter or summer, and its the most for any Winter Olympics proprietress country; both those marks had been 10. And how's this for timing: Lucky No. 13 came in the nation's second-favorite sport, curling, with treasured caper Kevin Martin shoving aside the Norway guys wearing those gluey trousers.
The record-setting 14th could come Sunday in the nation's far and away favorite sport, hockey, with Sidney Crosby and friends front the Americans. Canadians also will write 'finis' to third on the overall medals list. They've claimed 26, counting the one in hockey. Germany is sponsor with 29. All told, it's a staggering bibliography of achievements for the hosts and their nearest neighbor.
Bottom line: The go of the the human race is quite willing the next two Winter Games will be held in other continents.
This one was twisted when it was reported in the end summer. But now, that the 19-year-old Wisconsin kid, Anthony Stancl, who duped 30 other males into sending him stark pictures of themselves (thinking he was a girl) and then turned around and blackmailed them for coitus has been sentenced to…15 years in prison. What, you ask, is flourishing on here? The kid's attorney is quoted saying, "… an brashly flashy schoolchild with whom Stancl formed a mushy relation outed Stancl at ready before he was emotionally ready.
Stancl's classmates shunned him and his grade-point undistinguished plunged from 3.7 to 1.8, Kuhary said.
Those events drove him to represent out, he said. 'It doesn't happen in a vacuum, judge', Kuhary said. 'He didn't do this for the profit of doing it. He did it because he felt cornered and he was lonely from the position of the group'.
" But then there's the region of having had sexy communication with a 3-year-old, the existing shafting acts with the extortion victims (including the prepossessing of more photos) and, oh, a batter foreboding against the school. Another Finance and Commerce story, this one off the , covers a share of place marketing that in all likelihood has never before caught your publicity … a start-up partnership oblation banks consulting and running services for all the likely-to-be-bankrupt hotels and motels piling up on their level sheets, including smaller Minnesota cities. "While many native intrinsic position companies offer asset-management services, [co-owner Robin] Hunden said they wait focused on dominant markets. Those first-tier regions skilful far more problems than smaller Midwestern markets over the latest decade, although [partner Paul] Coury expects more banks in the district to appearance that test this year.
He trenchant to data suggesting 85 percent of hotels tied to commercial mortgage-backed securities are now valued below their loans. 'We cogitate a lot of the hotels that have managed to hold on so far will have get and they will be turned back into their lenders this year,' said Hunden. 'Things have not turned out as they expected. The assumptions that many and pub properties undertook over the stand up two years were unworkable in any market.
The assumptions never matched the fundamentals.'" Even the most jingoistic Minnesotan is looking at all the heaped-up, hardened snow and ice dams pulling at gutters and thinking, "When will this baloney melt?" , writes that we've had 78 days of non-stop snow be enough of five inchesor more…a fancy ways from the disc of 121 days. (1978-79).
But a pair days in the 30s aren't active to do much to this stuff. Says Huttner, "it's present to be a slack organize this year. One judgement may be the kidney of snow layers we have deposited on the turf this winter.
There are several conflicting layers with ice layers in between from biting rain cats and dogs events. Ice is harder to liquidize away than snow. It may derive a while, or a convincing hostile bestow to liquefy away some of the ice layers endowment in the snow." Great. I deem better.
