Tom Daley finished his first Olympic experience with a highly commendable seventh place in the men’s individual 10m platform event in the Water Cube. Daley, at 14, the second youngest British Olympian and easily the youngest of the 12 finalists, saved his best form for the final, but could not match the form of Matthew Mitcham of Australia, who lept past long-time leader, Luxin Zhou, to deprive China of a clean sweep of diving gold medals with his very last dive. ...

Jim Geraghty's post at The Campaign Spot on Chicago Mayor Richard Daley's take on the close relationship between former "community organizer," hard-Left agitator, infanticide-facilitating Barack Obama and former terrorist, hard-Left agitator, proudly America-hating Bill Ayers is mind-blowing. As Jim writes, Daley said, "It's really unfortunate. They're friends. So what? People do make mistakes in the past. You move on. This is a new century, a new time. [Ayers] reflects back and he's been making a strong contribution to our community.' Bombing the Pentagon is one of those "mistakes" that people make? Bombing the U.S. Capitol, too? And a police headquarters? Most of the people I know of who've made such "mistakes" now receive their mail at the United States "Supermax" Penitentiary in Florence, Colorado. And Ayers hasn't "moved on." When he "reflects back," he brazenly says he's sorry only that he didn't do more in the way of terrorism, and maintains that America--the "mean country" his friend Michelle Obama hasn't seen much reason to be proud of--makes him "want to puke." Moreover, the "strong contribution" Ayers has made to Chicago's "community" has mainly been the urging of education and criminal justice policies that have led to surging crime and failing schools ... and the launching of his friend Barack Obama's career. Stanley Kurtz is doing heroic work, and good for the McCain campaign to jump into the fray. If Daley feels the ... Source: www.independent.co.uk --- 1 day ago

Neither Tom Daley or I ever talked about winning a medal in the 10m individual platform competition and I'm very proud of the way he dived in the final. He raised his game from the preliminaries to the semi-final and then raised his game again. He'll be the first to admit that he was not on top of his game in the final, but he finished seventh and there are good things to take away from the Olympics. Obviously there are things to improve on as well, but most importantly, he competed with a smile on his face and he goes away smiling. He has enjoyed the whole Olympic experience and that has given him the best preparation for London 2012. Let's not forget he's only 14 - he starts his GCSEs in September - but he has shown he can hold his nerve and perform on the greatest stage in the world and he has dealt with massive media interest like a true professional. He knows he could have performed better in the final, but every diver will analyse their performances and even Olympic champion Matthew Mitcham will look at his third dive and say it's not as good as it could have been. But overall, Mitcham dived out of his skin and there were crazy scenes in the final round - you couldn't have scripted a more dramatic finale. He finished with back 2.5 somersaults with 2.5 twists, a dive I invented 10 years ago when the governing body changed the rules and you could calculate a formula to give you high tariff dives. I used it in the Olympics fou ...
