Any more moisture that we receive during the next g weeks will also be beneficial in helping to fill our reservoirs in the spring and summer. All of the western states currently have an above normal snowpack. The Natural Resources Conservation Service reported on Saturday that the Provo River Drainage had 121 percent of its normal snowpack for the date. Other percentages of normal include 104 percent around the Bear drainRiver, 117 percent in the Weber-Ogdeage, 110 percent around the Green River, 1158 percent in the Sevier River area and 156 percent of normal around the Virgin River. Since Oct. 1, 2007, Timpanogos Divide has received 22.1 inches of precipitation, which is above the normal of 18.5.

The British Olympic Association initially said this week it would contractually require its athletes to not make any politically sensitive remarks or gestures during the games. The BOA later took a more open approach. Many realize they legally won't be able to muzzle their athletes outside the Olympic zone. The Dutch Olympic Committee warned its athletes in a statement that "China is 'differFILEAssociated Press ent,' and unknown territory for Visitors photograph themselves in front of the National Stadium, many."

The convergence of sports and politics is hardly unique to the Beijing Games. At the 1968 Mexico City Games, U.S. track stars Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised fists to decry racial discrimination at home. The 1976 Montreal Games were spurned by many African nations, and boycotts followed at the next two Olympics: In 1980, the United States led a at the Moscow Games and the Soviet Union did likewise four years later in Los Angeles. "I would not by any means say that holding the Olympics in Moscow brought about the fall of communism," Holmes said. Zver suggests it was the Olympics that was hurt most. "When we go back to Moscow 1980 it was not good for sport," he said. At the same time, Dejaeghere keeps on practicing for Beijing, with Tibet and press freedom among the things on her mind. "It is not because you care about human rights that your performance will automatically plummet," she said. black-glove- d |
