Walter Martineck hardly knows Drew Peterson, a retired police sergeant in the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook, but he's a good friend of Peterson's stepbrother, Tom Morphey. So it was that Martineck found himself unwittingly drawn into the events of October 28, 2007, the day Peterson's young wife, Stacy, was last seen. The prologue that follows is a dramatization based on an account Morphey reportedly gave to police, as well as statements Martineck made in the media regarding his strange run-in with Morphey late that day, before Martineck had heard a word about Stacy's disappearance. In the months that she's remained missing, numerous stories have flooded out from both those who knew her well and those who barely knew her; stories that the police, and everyone following the case in the national news, are sorting through to answer the vexing question: What happened to Stacy?

Drew Peterson set a cup of coffee in front of his stepbrother, who was slumped in a stuffed chair in the back of Starbucks, away from the wide windows looking out onto busy Weber Road. Tom Morphey sipped the coffee and waited to hear why Peterson had summoned him there.

But Peterson only said, "Drink this. You look like you need it."

Hello everyone!! It's indeed a great pleasure to talk to you all through this excellent tool.

I thought that instead of introducing myself and sharing my success story, I shall do something different by narrating a short story of a princess which has both of above:
Once upon a time, God was scratching His brains coz He felt monotonous in His creations and had too much work load. He thought and thought and one day had a great idea! He decided to create a Heaven on Earth; there He placed Daddy Angel and Mummy Angel. One year later, the angels were blessed with a Prince. They were all very happy together and God was atleast a bit relaxed coz the Angels made World a better place, took good care of their problems and their Angel prince. God decided to promote them for their consistency in doing a good job and 10 years later, the Angels were blessed with another baby princess. The Angels loved her too dearly. Her elder brother was more of a guardian and a mentor to her. She grew from a toddler, to her schooling years, to college where she was topper in academics as well as a star performer in the extra curricular activities - She holds a treasure of more than 2 dozen certificates so far in Elocution, Debate, Essay writing, Group dance, Personality campaign, Advertising campaign and the list goes on. She was the Cultural Secretary in the final year where she learnt about coordination, public relations, organizing cultural events for her college and finally entered into the corporate world. She had a bundle of angel friends which grew heaps and bounds each year. The Angels were all with her to take good care and to protect her from evils. The prince Angel by now had a family with his wife and a younger angel - who was the cutest in the family; he had become the "cherry on the cake" for the family.

The princess started her corporate career in 2003, being an Office Assistant at an Export firm; her angel boss soon realized her passion for work and gave her two promotions in the same year. She became Assistant to Director. She learnt and developed a lot in the job. Two and a half years down the line, she joined Blue Dart Express Limited, as an Assistant to Sr. VP - Marketing and Projects. Here she explored the creative element in her, while working on Events, Projects, Marketing Promotions etc. She was promoted to Assistant Manager and was given a special responsibility of looking into the pricing issue. Two years later, she joined Schneider Electric India Private Limited. Her angel boss here gave her a lot of challenging assignments, opportunities and she continued to grow. The best of the memories here were at the Outbound training where she had a chance to interact with the outstation teams, explore fun and adventure, realizing the importance of Teamwork. She also won the "Schneider Mumbai Idol" and "Best Dancer - Female" awards at the recent Diwali Bash 08. The princess was recently accoladed - PWMD (People Who Make The Difference) Award which was a Jewel in the Crown. As of now, the princess is 5 years 11 months old in the corporate world and is pursuing MBA in HR. The Angel family is all happy, closely bound and happily living and God is happy as well coz He has His representatives tackling the issues for Him. That was the end of the story and everyone lived happily ever after..........

The day before he died, luger Nodar Kumaritashvili spoke to his father by phone and said he was terrified of the track at the Whistler Sliding Center.

David Kumaritashvili gave an interview Sunday outside his house in the Georgian mountain town of Bakuriani, recounting on of the last conversations he had with his 21-year-old son. The Wall Street Journal reports:

"He called me before the Olympics, three days ago, and he said, 'Dad, I'm scared of one of the turns.'

"I said, 'Put your legs down on the ice to slow down,' but he said if he started the course he would finish it. ... He was brave."
