not a problem, Joe. Anything to keep from typing up a min. 15 page business plan!

I think it is interesting how many people are up in arms about the Ladies teams just because the three baby ballerinas didn't all make it to team A. Sorry, but the rules are the rules, and they really haven't changed much in the last few years. Kimmie despite not having a great season, did finish in the top 10 at Worlds and rightfully earned a spot in team A. Bebe, yes she is an inconsistant skater but again, she met the criteria for team A.

Yes, but for the fact that Kimmie and Bebe would not have gone to Sweden if for the lack of age in the baby ballerinas, and therefore, no A funding. Vicious little circle, eh!

And for those wondering why Michelle Boulos, who qualified for Team C due to her silver medal at the Nepela Memorial last September, is not listed -- I've heard that she is planning to focus on college this coming season.

Some of the other ladies who didn't make Team C or have yet to make the reserve team are:
* Ellie Kawamura
* Kirsten Olson
* Laney Diggs
* Christine Zukowski

I imagine that these ladies will get JGP consideration and reserve team envelopes if they plan on competiting.
