"Little" John Shilstone Reinstated in Circle of Fear
Following weeks of bravado and false pretense, Little John Shilstone has officially withdrawn from the 2008 Quadrathlon, citing work related causes."The worst part to me is the lameness of his excuse", said father "Big" John after hearing the news. "I mean look at my son-in-law Tim. His excuses not only involve national security, they frequently involve direct orders from the President of the United States. Very convincing." Siblings Mark and Anne were unavailable for comment.

Higginbotham Christmas "Retreat" Found
Following weeks on intensive investigative research, Quad Manager and Reporter Eileen Hipps has identified the secret location of the Higginbothams' planned hiding place during the 2008 Quadrathlon. Organizer Dean Higginbotham was unavailable for comment on the family's plan to hide, but has expressed concern with the renaming of the 2008 "Circle of Fear", to the more appropriate "Circle of Higginbothams."
The remote Montana cabin has been unused since the incarceration of its previous tenant.

Quad Medical Advisor Credited with Classification of New Social Disorder
Following years of intensive research, Quadrathlon Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Annie Cooper has successfully classified a new branch of performance-based social anxiety disorder, now known as Quadophobia: the irrational fear of being publicly humiliated by superior Quad athletes.
“This is a legitimate medical condition, and not one to be taken lightly,” said Cooper in a recent statement. “Symptoms include regular appearances in the Circle of Fear, feigned injuries immediately before competitions, and general malaise.”
In response, two-time runner-up Des Carroll was quoted as saying, “If phobias are irrational fears, then these people don’t have a phobia, because the probability they will be embarrassed is quite high.”

VOTE TODAY ON YOUR CHOICE FOR QUAD LOGO:
In a dramatic attempt to foster a culture of democracy, 2008 Quad Director Eileen Hipps has called for an open vote in selection of the official 2008 Quadrathlon logo. "I believe it is important to increase the involvement level of both competitors and supporters of the Quad," said Hipps in a recent statement, "and if the popular vote matches the logo I want to use, the selection will absolutely be based on the popular vote."

Official Hale Response
To: 2008 Quad Participants and Family
There has been a gross misrepresentation on my behalf on the Quadblog site, which is quite obviously the work of cowards. I feel compelled to respond to the offender/s in the following manner. I did not volunteer to go to Guam last year. No, in fact I was deployed, at the direction of the President of the United States of America to maintain stability and security in a volatile region populated by rogue nations known to be armed with nuclear weapons. As important as this tasking was, I still did my very best to attend the 2007 Quad. The following information has, until now remained a closely guarded secret, but apparently must be brought to light.
In response to previous allegations of cowardess, (Quad 2007), and an overwhelming desire to compete, I initiated actions that have proven irreversible. In the fall of 2007 I requested Congressional intervention from Missouri Congressman Ike Skelton that would allow me to temporarily suspend my obligation to maintaining security in the Pacific Command AOR that I may be allowed to compete in the ‘07 Quad. I was not only denied this request, but what followed has been a sequence of events that have brought great pain to me and my entire family. First, I was directed miss the Quad and to fulfill my obligations to his great nation while assigned to the Air Expeditionary Force. During this assignment, my request to compete in the Quad was met with distaste by my leadership and excessive periods in the Andersen Air Force Base Air Traffic Control Tower fulfilling s duties as the Supervisor of Flying, (those true aviators that have ever commanded a real combat aircraft capable of strategic influence can understand the totality of such insult as being assigned SOF duties) . This punishment resulted in possible implication in the most expensive mishap in the history of the AF. I have done my very best to avoid subscribing to any conspiracy theories that may correlate that incident to my Quad request. I remained clear of further accusation, but I have since been further punished with an assignment that will not only remove me from flying status, but also forces me and my beautiful family to relocate to Alabama. This can only be interpreted as further persecution based upon my desire to compete in the Quad.
In spite of such shattering news I intend to pose an unforeseen threat in this year’s competition. Furthermore, as I move to an assignment that takes me away from my relentless duties of protecting this great nation from the forces of tyranny and evil I should have at least as much time as Des to hone my skills. In conclusion.
1) May the offenders who have attempted to tarnish my name suffer divine punishment for their slander.
2) Go to hell Ole Miss.
My prediction, Des and Bart cry like girls…..Sean Hipps in ’08.
I am quite certain that those who control the Quad website will, in typical fashion, attempt to suppress and/or distort this response. Please consider this correspondence as the source documentation and record copy of my response. Thank you.
