Speaking of the Blackberry mapping, this might mean something (though I don't understand it) Remember timer55?
Any location on Earth is described by two numbers--its latitude and its longitude. If a pilot or a ship's captain wants to specify position on a map, these are the "coordinates" they would use.
Actually, these are two angles, measured in degrees, "minutes of arc" and "seconds of arc." These are denoted by the symbols ( °, ', " ) e.g. 35° 43' 9" means an angle of 35 degrees, 43 minutes and 9 seconds (do not confuse this with the notation (', ") for feet and inches!). A degree contains 60 minutes of arc and a minute contains 60 seconds of arc--and you may omit the words "of arc" where the context makes it absolutely clear that these are not units of time.

Though I thought she said the 'clues' were in the passwords, not the user names?
It was mentioned by someone on Topix(that I snipped) that Casey changed her password to Timer55 in May(can't remember the date, it's in the Timer55 thread) when you count 55 days from that date it arrived to the date Amy etc...left for vacation to PR.
