BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Quotes about Dara Torres
Birch has been an inspiration to everyone ... He's proof that age has nothing to do with achievement. All you have to do is think of Dara Torres, who just competed in her fifth Olympics. But Torres had a lot of assistance. In Birch's case, though, he's doing it all on his own. He does it because of his love of swimming.
said Kiefer
I watched Dara Torres and I was crying when she got her silver ... I love her. She’s an inspiration to all women and she did a great job at her age. Now 40 is the new 20.
said Olga Goldovskaya
Dara Torres in the Olympic Games in her 40s winning the silver medal and Cloris Leachman at 82 years old on 'Dancing with the Stars,' ... The message is clear: Our pre-determined expectations, based on age alone, are clearly wrong.
said Mark R Hutchinson

It certainly gives me some hope that as we age that some of the things that we have taken for granted, such as loss of physical abilities, aren't as profound as we expected. I think that Lance and Dara Torres are the result of smart training done in a proper way with a good foundation of physiology behind it.

It could have destroyed her own focus--crucial in a short race where competitors are separated by hundredths of a second--and if she had done nothing the Swedish swimmer would have been disqualified, giving Torres one less competitor to worry about.

This wasn't for a teammate—this was for a girl she barely knew ... To me it was one of the best moments of the Olympics . . . She may have only taken a silver medal in the race, but she definitely has a heart of gold.
