...finisher in the competition, placing 19th overall in the giant slalom. Kinner skied four seconds faster in the event’s second race to finish with a combined time of 2:36.62.

Sophomore Alec Boardman was 42nd in the slalom and 48th in the GS. Freshman Caroline McHugh led the way for the women’s Alpine team, coming in 35th in the GS with a combined time...
...Bush Administration back to the point where it has accepted firm withdrawal deadlines. The current version, described by U.S. officials as a "final" draft, specifies that U.S. forces will withdraw from Iraq's cities "no later than June 30th, 2009", and from all Iraqi territory "no later than December 31st, 2011." There is certainly a provision for those dates to be subject to "review," but changing them would require agreement from both sides. Effectively, the draft agreement puts any "conditions-based" decision to extend the deadline into the hands of the Iraqi government. And on current indications, the Iraqis...
...Maddow is the one AAR host who's had a continuous daily gig since the network began on March 31, 2004 (her 31st birthday).

...until next August, it's unwise to disagree. Plus, he's right on point. Today at China Agriculture University, Cejudo became the youngest gold medal winner in U.S. wrestling history when he dropped Japan's Tomohiro Matsunaga in the final match. The win shocked the wrestling world; Cejudo placed 31st at last year's world championships. But he upset 2006 world champ Radoslav Velikov of Bulgaria in the first round here. Cejudo was supposed to medal in 2012, maybe even '16. But not in Beijing...

He penned an essay about his experience - "I was writing in Swahili, and English, and Swahili, and English," he recalls - and was picked. On July 31st, 2001, he moved in with a family in upstate New York. During his early days living in the U.S., Lomong wouldn't throw away a leftover McDonald's chicken sandwich, not believing that you could actually get more the next day. He learned the basics, like how to operate a shower. "Cold...
