- Enjoy the peace of mind of knowing your assets and belongings are going where you want them to - with no added stress for those left behind.
Here are some statistics to get you thinking; 60% of the population don't have a will with 84% of people aged 18-34 going without. It's not something we like to think about, but in the event of the worst happening, the last things that our loved ones should be worrying about about are money, belongings and estates. Grab a will kit family pack from New Zealand Will Kits for $39.
The New Zealand Will Kit is set out in layman's terms and is designed to be easy to understand and use. In New Zealand every adult should have a legal will, including married couples, so the family pack contains four will forms. Once you've finished writing your will, simply date and sign the form in front of two witnesses. There's no need to take the will to anyone special like a J.P. or bank manager, the witnesses can be anyone over 20 years of age, as long as they are not a beneficiary of the will or the partner of a beneficiary. With 48 pages of information, the New Zealand will kit is very comprehensive and covers all the following topics:
- Who should be your executor?
- Who should be witnesses?
- Beneficiaries.
- General and specific bequests.
- Legacies.
- Bequests to charities.
- Residual estate probate.
- Guardianship of children.

Outsports lists 21 openly gay athletes. 3 of them are men, 18 are women.
Huffington Post article has a slideshow with their pictures:
There are 10,500 athletes competing. So even if we used the most conservative estimate, which puts the number of gay people in the general population at 4%, we end up with 420. Which shows there's still a very long way to go.
Matthew Mitcham's (Australian Diver and 2008 Olympic Champion) story shows why so few athletes decide to come out, even if they come from nations where homosexuality is accepted for the most part.
Despite winning the gold medal in great style, being hunky and handsome, Mitcham got zero endorsements following his victory.
A straight guy in his position would surely attract loads of sponsorship deals.
But he only got one endorsement from Telstra (a telecom company) a year after the games and then in the following year another from a swimsuit company. And that's it.
So yeah, it pays off to remain in the closet.

The Melons At Nth Degree Cook Up A TJ That's No Fruitcake
By now, just about every 'wheeler has seen enough modified TJs to last them a lifetime. But ya gotta check this one out because it's way outside of the usual TJ box.
Sprung from the fertile melon of Jim Frens, owner and chief engineer of Nth Degree Mobility, the Flaming Papaya was built by Jim's employees in their spare time at Nth Degree's headquarters in Carson City, Nevada. Its main goal is to showcase many of the company's newest products, and also to test a bunch of new ideas that will appear from Nth Degree very soon.
The Papaya's in-your-face 2004 Audi Papaya Orange paint is the first thing to catch your eye. Then you notice the unusual front fenders that blend into the full body side armor. All these pieces are now available from Nth. Next, something seems odd about the wheelbase. Yep, it's been stretched in the rear 5 inches. This modification, complete with a custom gas tank, is also now available from the company. The hood looks different, too, because it's a fiberglass piece from AEV-modified, of course, with 3 inches shortened off each side. Then you notice the bumpers, the steering, the axles, the suspension, the engine and trans amn! Everything on this TJ has been "Nth'ized," and yet much of it looks like it came from the factory.
Perhaps that factory look comes from Frens' background as a Jeep engineer whose work with Chrysler included the original TJ design. Jim explains that, through the Papaya, he wanted to show just how far one could push the factory design using as many off-the-shelf Jeep parts as possible to build the ultimate TJ.
Check out the photos and the details in the captions to find out more about this TJ's fruitful ideas. And go to www.nthdegreemobility.com to find out which of these cool parts are now available for your TJ.
Stuffing 37-inch Goodyear MT/Rs and 17-inch Walker Evans bead-lock wheels into the Flaming Papaya's wheelwells is no problem, thanks to the huge wheelwells created by Nth's High Fenders. These heavy-duty tube and steel creations feature optional LED front- and side-running/turn signal lights. The fiberglass AEV High Hood goes well with these fenders, and blends into the Nth Cowl Guards, designed to protect the tender high-curved area just in front of the windshield. The rear wheelwells are defined by the Nth Corner Guards, which center the wheelwell 5 inches rearward to match the Nth long-arm 5-inch stretched rear suspension. Tying the two ends together are Nth's Smasher Basher rocker guards, which wrap under the body mounts and sport holes for optional LED rock lights. The front bumper is an Nth QuickWinch with optional grille hoop. The QuickWinch system allows you to easily mount the winch in a cradle in the front bumper or slide it into the standard 2-inch receiver in the custom, one-off rear bumper. Note the optional LED rock lights mounted into the ends of the bumper. The winch is a Warn HS9500i tugging a Winchline.com orange synthetic rope through a Winchline.com wide-mouth fairlead. Foglights are standard Jeep issue.
Suspension and underbody armor are Nth Degree's original claim to fame, and the Flaming Papaya doesn't cut any corners is these departments. The biggest news is the now-available 5-inch suspension stretch kit, but other cool new stuff can be seen here. Check out the Light Racing Jounce Shocks fitted inside Nth 6-inch-lift front coils. This is a kit developed jointly between the two companies and it allows the front coils to be fully captured at the top mount. Shocks are Bilstein 7100 reservoir units with custom Nth-tuned digressive tuning. The fronts feature 14 inches of travel while the rears offer 12. The Papaya can max a 30-degree RTI ramp and will lift one tire 46 inches off the ground before any others join it. Helping make such killer RTI numbers are the new Nth Quick-Silver II front sway-bar disconnect links. The Papaya's steering features prototype Nth high-steer knuckles and linkage, along with a prototype TracBar that fits to a production Nth track-bar brace.
The 5-inch-wheelbase stretch kit is truly a clever piece of engineering and, when installed, looks like the factory made the Jeep that way. The kit can be retrofitted to any existing Nth Degree long-arm kit. It features longer, lower control arms, a longer Stinger, upper spring relocator brackets, and a new aluminum gas tank. The rear axle on the Papaya is a standard TJ Dana 44 unit fitted with Yukon 5.13:1 gears and a Jeep Rubicon locking diff. The axles are chromoly Superior pieces and the brakes are TJ/Rubicon discs. The skidplate under the diff is part of the Nth Stinger torque-arm assembly. Other subtle but cool features are the Shock Shifter lower shock mounts, and the LED rock lights in the Smasher Basher rocker guards. The exhaust has been modified with a Flowmaster three-chamber muffler, a PaceSetter 6-2-1 header, and 2.5-inch tubing throughout.

Facebook is shelling out $550 million to buy 650 patentsfrom Microsoft , snapping up about 70 percent of the patent portfolio Microsoft agreed to buy from AOL. Facebook is also buying a license to the AOL patents and applications that Microsoft will own.
So why is Facebook shelling out this kind of cash for patents?
Simple: Silicon Valley patent wars are heating up and Facebook wants to protect itself against some potentially very pricey litigation. It's no surprise that this acquisition comes after Yahoo sued Facebook last month, alleging patent infringement.
Facebook has said in the past that it "prioritizes innovation over litigation but others don't necessarily share the same view." And this is a $550 million investment in avoiding other lawsuits.
This deal – which was in the works as soon as Microsoft closed with AOL on the deal—speaks to the close relationship between Microsoft and Facebook. Microsoft invested $240 million in Facebook back in 2007 and the two companies struck a search deal. That partnership allied the social network and the tech giant against Google . This latest partnership could indicate that Microsoft is supporting Facebook as it fends off the lawsuit from Yahoo , an issue Microsoft is aware of, saying it values its relationship with both Yahoo and Facebook.
Patents are only going to become more important in silicon valley as tech, internet, and social media giants all fight for consumers time. We can expect more big paychecks—and more high-price litigation as these players sort out who controls what.

Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

The Plantation is open from March 26th until November 27th and is closed in the winter. You begin in the interpretive center, which has a snack bar, large gift ship, small museum, and a movie to introduce you to what you are about to see. The cost to visit for adults is $21 and $14 for kids. The better value is to buy a combination ticket that includes the Mayflower in Plymouth Harbor, which costs $24 or $14.
Once inside the plantation, you are in a small cluster of cottages. There are no stores and shops. Unlike Williamsburg, this is a basic settlement built for survival of the brave and hearty pilgrims. About the village you will meet docents in 1620s garb. They will speak to you in reference to the 1620s and will not break character. They are pros and stay in period at all times. They encourage you to ask questions and even banter a bit. They will tell you about life here in Plimoth Plantation almost 400 years ago. You can step into their homes, smell their cooking, see their beds, or watch them as they do their daily chores.
You quickly learn this isn't the turkey-and-pumpkin life of the pilgrims we learned about. My son put it best as we got back into the car. He said, "Life sure was harsh." This is exactly what I think the curators want you to take away from this experience. During the year, they have many special events where you can eat a meal with the pilgrims or even sleep at Plimoth Plantation. Check the website for dates and details.
Beside the cluster of pilgrim homes, there is also a Wampanoag Village. Wampanoag were the Native Americans who lived in this area. They too will share their crafts and story with you. I actually found their sleeping accommodations to be more comfortable than the pilgrims!
Overall, it was a fascinating day, and one that will teach even the adult. So much of what I was taught about the pilgrims was just American folktales and not the truth. Here at Plimoth you can learn the real story.

Interpretive guides in period dress and with colonial dialects showcase the rigors of 17th century life. Several houses typical of the era can be observed as well as activities such as meal preparation, furniture, shoe, and pottery making and weaponry.
Pilgrim Hall Museum is the site of the oldest American public hall in continuous operation. Allow a minimum of one hour and as much as 3-4 hours, if you plan to dine and shop, to tour the Plantation.
Within this historic area is a replica of the Pilgrim sailing ship, the Mayflower II, which is open for modern day boarders to explore. It is a 180 ton vessel made in England and sailed to the U.S. in 1957. Allow about an hour to see the ship.
If you have babies in your group you might want to bring a back carrier since it is impossible to push a stroller around the ship, up and down the vertical ladders. Having bottled water in tow is also advisable since it gets very hot below decks in this cramped, stuffy, dark ship. Costumed docents are in character and add to the knowledge you can glean from your self-guided tour.
This is a great history lesson for the kids (great photo ops for those show and tell pictures), a delightful journey back in time for the adults, and a lesson in appreciation for how soft we all have it today.
Plimouth Plantation is open April through November from 9:00 to 5:00 seven days a week. Combination tickets for all the sites can be purchased ahead of time via the internet website at www.plimouth.org. They range from $14.00 for children 6-12, under 6 are free, to $22.00 for adults. Seniors and college students with I.D.'s get discounts.
There is a wide range of dining options available within the village. We were not fortunate enough to sample it, but there are special holiday dinners served Pilgrim style in October and November.
The Plantation and ship are in Plymouth Mass. off Route 3, exits 4 and 6, coming from Boston or points south. Metered parking is available at the ship and a parking lot that will accomodate RV's is at Plymouth Plantation. A commuter rail service from Boston to Plymouth Station will put you within a 10-15 minute taxi ride to the site. Plymouth-Brockton Bus runs from Boston to Plymouth where you transfer to the local Gatra Bus Line taking you directly to the Historic area.
For more information you can write to Plimouth Plantation, P.O. Box 1620, Plymouth, MA 02362 or call 508/746-1622.

"Do you drink tea?" my friend asked, eying the jug standing beside the chicken thirstily. But she was met with a perplexed look and a polite, "Tea? What is that?"
Tea, you see, that stereotypically English beverage, wasn't widely consumed in England or America before the 18th century. No wonder the young Pilgrim woman was confused--the interpreters in the Pilgrim village at Plimoth Plantation act as if they know nothing beyond the year 1627.
Encounters with the interpreters are the best part of visiting Plimoth Plantation--ask them questions about what they're doing as they go about their daily chores: caring for livestock, tending their gardens, maintaining their houses, and preparing food. They'll be happy to tell you all about it (provided, of course, that you don't ask them something that an Englishman or woman of 1627 wouldn't know). You can also stroll the streets (well, street, really) of Plimoth Plantation and snoop in people's homes and gardens.
Once you're done visiting the English settlers, you can visit Native Americans at Hobbamock's homesite. The Natives are dressed in traditional costumes, and, like the colonists, do typical daily tasks. Unlike the colonists, though, the Native interpreters speak from a modern perspective. Stop and spend some time there--it's not only interesting to look around at the summer and winter wigwams (more rustic looking, but better adapted to the forests of Massachusetts than the colonists' homes), it's interesting to hear native perspectives on history and on their culture.
Younger children will enjoy visiting the historic livestock breeds at the Nye Barn, and everybody can get gifts (including crafts made at Plimoth Plantation) at the museum's gift shops.
Plimoth Plantation is located 3 miles south of Plymouth, MA, and is open from 9 -5. The combination ticket also allows visitors to see the Mayflower II, a replica of a 17th Century vessel, that's docked on the Plymouth waterfront (it's really close to Plymouth Rock, so you can kill two sites with one stone, as it were).

1627 Pilgrim Village: You can wander around and strike up conversations with the folks in the village, who all stay true to characters living in the 1600s.
Wampanoug Indian Homesite: Hosted from a third person (not in character) perspective.
Crafts Center: Watch a craft (i.e. woodworking or glassblowing) being demonstrated.
[Mayflower II: While this is technically part of the Plimouth Plantation, it had its own admission fee--unless you buy a combo ticket--so I will cover it in another summary.]
Don't forget to ask about why they spell it "Plimouth" instead of "Plymouth"!!

The International Year of Astronomy 2009
The vision of the International Year of Astronomy (IYA2009) is to help the citizens of the world rediscover their place in the Universe through the day- and night time sky, and thereby engage a personal sense of wonder and discovery. All humans should realize the impact of astronomy and basic sciences on our daily lives, and understand better how scientific knowledge can contribute to a more equitable and peaceful society.
The International Year of Astronomy (IYA2009) will be a global celebration of astronomy and its contributions to society and culture, highlighted by the 400th anniversary of the first use of an astronomical telescope by Galileo Galilei. The aim of the Year is to stimulate worldwide interest, especially among young people, in astronomy and science under the central theme "The Universe, Yours to Discover". IYA2009 events and activities will promote a greater appreciation of the inspirational aspects of astronomy that embody an invaluable shared resource for all nations.
The IYA2009 activities will take place locally, regionally and nationally. National Nodes in each country have been formed to prepare activities for 2009. These Nodes establish collaborations between professional and amateur astronomers, science centres and science communicators in preparing activities for 2009. More than 90 countries are already involved, with well over 140 expected. To help coordinate this huge global programme, and to provide an important resource for the participating countries, the IAU has established a central Secretariat and this website as the principal IYA resource for public, professionals, and media alike.
Press Releases:
- The first IYA2009 Cornerstone Project brings the stars to Liverpool (05 jun 08)
- The IYA2009 welcomes the 100th participating country (17 jan 08)
- The UN declares 2009 the International Year of Astronomy (20 dec 07)
- IYA2009 web page public, National Node chairs appointed (21 dec 06)
- The IAU announces the IYA (27 oct 06)

The fossil record indicates that eukaryotes—single-celled and multicellular organisms with more complex cellular structures compared to prokaryotes, such as bacteria—show limited morphological and functional diversity before 800-600 million years ago. Many researchers attribute the delayed diversification and proliferation of eukaryotes, which culminated in the appearance of complex animals about 600 million years ago, to very low levels of the trace metal zinc in seawater.
As it is for humans, zinc is essential for a wide range of basic cellular processes. Zinc-binding proteins, primarily located in the cell nucleus, are involved in the regulation of gene transcription.
Eukaryotes have increasingly incorporated zinc-binding structures during the last third of their evolutionary history and still employ both early- and late-evolving zinc-binding protein structures. Zinc is, therefore, of particular importance to eukaryotic organisms. And so it is not a stretch to blame the 1-2-billion-year delay in the diversification of eukaryotes on low bioavailability of this trace metal.
But after analyzing marine black shale samples from North America, Africa, Australia, Asia and Europe, ranging in age from 2.7 billion years to 580 million years old, the researchers found that the shales reflect high seawater zinc availability and that zinc concentrations during the Proterozoic (2.5 billion to 542 million years ago) were similar to modern concentrations. Zinc, the researchers posit, was never biolimiting.

AMD Unleashes the 990FX: Paving the way for Bulldozer
Word of the AMD 990FX chipset first came around the end of last year. Speculation was brisk as to what new features it would bring, and when exactly it would help to usher in the age of Bulldozer to the world. Most thought that it would be a shrink of the then current 890FX, and the new SB950 southbridge would have improvements to the SATA 6G controller, as well as a native USB 3.0 implementation. Today we finally get to see the reality of the situation. It is not groundbreaking, nor is it altogether exciting, but it is certainly interesting.
The 990FX and SB950 chips are identical to the previous 890FX and SB850. They are the same silicon. For those hoping for new technology will be disappointed. But all is not lost! AMD did increase the HyperTransport specification from 3.0 to 3.1, which allows the HT bus to run at 6.4 GTPS as compared to the older 5.2 GTPS. This is in place to allow the upcoming Bulldozer chips to run the northbridge portion of the chip up to 3.2 GHz, and to give the CPU more bandwidth between the different busses on the board (eg. SATA, USB 3.0, and PCI-E connections).

What are the people thinking about back home? As
a matter of fact, I am getting a good many communica-tions
on a great variety o! subjects . Much of my mail
has to do with the George proposal relative to raising
the income tax exemption rate from $600 to $800 this
year and to $1000 next year . Most of the communica-tions
seem to be in favor of this proposal.
I arn also getting a large number o! communications
about the elimination of various kinds of excise taxes .
The farmers in the State of Montana are making
themselves heard very definitely in favor of 90o/o of
parity at least and eventually 100% or full parity .
Many of them keep reminding me of the President's I
remarks at Kasson, Minnesota , Brookings, South Dakota
and Fargo, North Dakota , where he came out for 90o/o
parity and eventually full parity .
The question of public power is an important one
in my part of the country because you must understand
in the Pacific Northwest, we have 40o/o of the potential
hydroelectric power in the entire nation and in my own
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 51, Folder 23, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
State of Montana , we have lOo/o of the nation's
potential. We are very much interested in the
development of both public and private power and we
feel that there is room for both . We are against
monopolies in this very important public service
field and we are very much in accord with the previous
Administrations' views in the building of multi-purpose
projects for flood control, irrigation, reclamation
and cheap power . We feel multi-purpose projects
in the State of Montana , where feasible, would be
far superior to projects built only for the disperse-ment
of electricity .
1 am getting very little mail on McCarthy although
is evident
in late weeks , an increased demand/for a change in
the rules of procedure for Congressional Committees
so that these hearings will be carried on under the
rules of fair play and with full protection for the
witnesses who appear .
There is a certain amount of apprehension about
the war in Indo-China and the possibility of American
intervention in that struggle . There seems to be very
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 51, Folder 23, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
opposition to the sending of American war supplies
to Indo-China and general disapproval of sending
combat troops to that part of the world .
Many of Montana elder citizens are writing in
relative to an increase in their social security and
some few groups have stated that they would like
to be included in the same .
in the
There is an increase/d a.mwnt of interest amohg
t h e young e r p eo p 1 e /i n fa v o r of the r i g h t to v o t e a t t h e
age of eighteen .
The question of termination of federal jurisdiction
over Montana's ZZ , OOO Indians has also created a
lot of interest lately and the general opinion seems
to be while this may be a feasible prodedure, it should
not be undertaken too quickly . 1 have received a great
deal of letters and petitions both for and against
the Bricker Amendment , with the great majority of
writing in form of petitions in favor of passing the
Bricker proposal.
My state is also interested in grazing legislation
and has expressed itself in no uncertain terms against
the possibility of federal grazing lands being turned
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 51, Folder 23, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
over to what amounts to in effect as private ownership .
The latest item of interest is the highway aid
bill and we are hopeful that the highway aid bill when
it is considered in the Senate . will be passed not on
a population basis but rather on territory because in
r.ny state and in many other Western States , distance
is the biggest factor and the one which must be considered
if a more network of roads are to be created maintained .
This . in general , comprises some of the matters
about which 1 have been receiving mail on lately .

Summary of Faust Summary of Faust Reviews for Faust An Excerpt from Faust
A major new translation of one of the greatest dramatic-poetic works in all of German literature" One of those great works of literature into which a writer has been able to combine his ranging preoccupations and understanding as he worked."
A magnificent drama shaped by themes of redemption and salvation, Faust is the magnum opus of Goethe, "the last true polymath to walk the earth" (George Eliot). As his journey continues, Faust follows Mephistopheles through ancient Greek mythology. Deeply smitten by the incomparably beautiful Helen of Troy, Faust marries Helen, embodying for Goethe his "imaginative longing to join poetically the Romantic medievalism of the Germanic West to the classical genius of the Greeks." Faust, Part II even includes eerie premonitions of such modern phenomena as inflation and the creation of life by scientific synthesis.

About Tribal
A german version you'll find on www.tribal-rock.com Hailing from the Zürich area in Switzerland, Tribal write rock songs and ballads full of emotions, ranging from politics involvement to gloomy memories. They write and sing their lyrics in English and self-produce their records. Founded in August 2003 by Mark Rossi (guitars), Greg Bailey (vocals) and Üse Müller (bass guitar), Tribal later added drummer Andy Gantenbain (drums) to complete their line-up. Most of the year 2004 was spent playing live in clubs and composing and recording their first tracks. Among them, the audience-swinging Feed the Public and the melancholy ballad Daddy were recorded as their first demo CD. In April 2005, Tribal released their first long-playing studio work, called Cardboard Heroes, proving to be a fine rock'n'roll band. The album contains 13 original and high-quality tracks, well arranged and produced by band members. Most of the material has been recorded live, without the addiction of many ov ... Read More

Recollections 12 Days of Christmas Cone Ornament
Use these as neighbor gifts — fill them with roasted almonds, hot chocolate packets and marshmallows, or any other gift your heart desires!
Designed by Celeste Crockett courtesy of DCWV.
Material List
- Recollections™ Paper Pad, 12"x12" – Twelve Days
- Floral Picks – Christmas
- Celebrate It® Grosgrain Ribbon, 3/8" – Red
- Brads – Pink and Green
- Wire – Red
- Craft Punch – ¾" and 1¼" Circles
- Paper Crafting Adhesive
- Paper Trimmer

Project Instructions
Print and cut out the DCWV® Cone Ornament pattern (download below). Trace this onto the back of your desired print around the solid lines and cut out. With the print face down, fold the sheet at the dotted line, leaving the print face up. Pull the paper into a cone, adhering your small flap to the inside of the cone.
Cut a piece of ribbon 9" long and adhere each end to opposite sides of the cone approximately 1" down. You will need around 8" to make the loop.
Select a cream-based print from the paper pad and cut it down to 3"x12". Fold the paper back and forth in ½" sections to make a fan of folded paper. Insert and arrange this around the top of the cone, covering up the ends of the ribbon; adhere into place.
Find the page with the icons and cut out one for the front. Adhere this at an angle, 1" down from the top edge of the printed paper.
Embellish the area around it by punching out circles and attaching them with brads, folding them in to create dimension and character. Add sections of Christmas picks in behind the circle flowers and add wire loops to give the cone a whimsical feel.

A side of Kayden you've never seen before!
You might think our newest star Kayden Kross is just another well-endowed blonde like hundreds of others in adult movies, but you'll understand why adult movie insiders are calling her the next Jenna once you see this screamer in action! 5 scenes. 129 minutes, plus bonus material.
Scene 1: When Kayden takes Eric Everhard out for a picnic, he gets a lot more than potato salad! After a lip-smacking and spit-flying blowjob, she mounts his rod for an intense butt-bouncing cowgirl ride that will bring you to your knees!
Scene 2: After Tori gets all wet splashing around in a fountain, Evan Stone bends her over and splashes water on her smoking hot rear before sliding in for standing doggy!
Scene 3: Good things come in threes – especially with Jana Jordan, Sammie Rhodes and Lorena Sanchez in skimpy bikinis! After getting naked under the sun, the girls break out into a snatch-licking daisy chain and pull out their toys to ravage each other!
Scene 4: Kayden looks shocking in her pink mini and black fishnets as she crawls over to Steven St. Croix. After kissing and grinding on his cock, he pins her legs all the way back before tearing into her bald beaver while she screams her head off!
Scene 5: Rebecca Linares gets down & dirty with Alec Knight & Tony De Sergio taking them at both ends until they finally explode all over her!

Technical Advisors Continue Programming at 2010 Development Academy Spring Showacase
• Technical Environment Key Element Throughout Academy Season, Variety of Perspectives Available on Site in Sarasota, Fla.
• Day Two Concludes with 58 Matches Played at Sarasota Polo Grounds
• Showcase Continues Through Tuesday, June 1
SARASOTA, Fla. (May 30, 2010) – The second day of games at the 2010 Spring Showcase in Sarasota, Fla., featured 58 games spread throughout 20 fields at the Sarasota Polo Grounds.
Technical Advisors Tony Lepore, Chris Brewer, Louis Mateus and Hugo Perez have been on hand throughout the event, with all the teams they work with closely during the season all in one place. At Showcase events, teams have the opportunity to hear from a variety of technical advisors and Academy scouts to gain different perspectives on technical matters.
"We develop a relationship with the teams throughout the course of the season, so by this time of year, we know the players, system and coaches very well," said Brewer, who works with teams in the Southeast.
Technical advisors are heavily involved with clubs in their areas, often having daily conversations and always attempting to make sure clubs are providing the best possible training and game-day environment to players and coaches.
On Saturday, Brewer watched teams that he knew well, like IMG Academy, and teams he was a bit less familiar with, such as D.C. United. The dynamic was designed to provide different perspectives from different technical advisors and scouts.
The per diem scouting network ranges from top-level college coaches to former Men's National Team players and coaches such as Bob Gansler, Thomas Dooley and Brian Maisonneuve. The discussions and the relationship between the clubs and U.S. Soccer staff is designed to be give-and-take.
"It's not something where we lecture the teams about doing something that is a 'cookie cutter' solution," explained Brewer. "There is a lot of back and forth, a lot more discussion than guidance and black and white discussion. We know it's important to remember that every club has different circumstances and we just want them to do what is best for them and provide guidance within our structure."
The Academy structure includes Best Practice guidelines as established after a comprehensive review of elite player development in the United States and around the world. Each Academy team is evaluated by a National Team coach at least ten times each year and each Academy club receives two formal evaluations in over 100 categories each year from National Team staff.
The Technical Advisors also take the lead on player identification and scouting, with weekly conference calls throughout the season providing a national platform for identifying prospective youth national team players.
In addition to the regular season discussions about individual players, Showcase events feature dozens of youth national team coaches and more than 300 college coaches to become the premier scouting events in the country.
The 2010 Spring Showcase continues through June 1 at the Sarasota Polo Grounds.
The Showcase is the second event of the 2009-10 Development Academy season following the Winter Showcase, which was held from Dec. 4-8 in Phoenix, Ariz. Academy Playoffs will be held at Bryan Park in Greensboro, N.C. from June 25-29 and Academy Finals Week will be held from July 9-18 at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif.

The "organization" has screwed everyone over-Rodgers, coaching staff, team members, and the fans. If the collarbone injury is such that he could be cleared to play at some point say so. This wishy washy non committal approach stinks. Leading in to every week for the past three plus Sundays with the possibility that he may play obviously was a cover-up of the actual extent of his injury. If the Packers win today be up front and disclose the true condition of his collarbone healing and the percentage risk of his being cleared to play. Otherwise put him on the shelf and lets move on.
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers to miss seventh straight game Sunday
QB Aaron Rodgers will miss Sunday's game, his seventh straight out of the lineup after injuring his collarbone against the Bears on Nov. 4, Packers coach Mike McCarthy announced Friday.
"He's not medically cleared," McCarthy said. "As an organization, we don't feel this is the right time for him to play."
Rodgers participated in practice on a limited basis this week, though he mostly worked with the backup units as Matt Flynn took first-team snaps. Flynn will start in Week 16 against the Steelers.
"I thought Aaron Rodgers did everything he could possibly do," McCarthy said. "The man attacked the rehab aspect of it, did more in the weight room, did really good things in practice. Obviously, this is an organization decision."
Flynn is coming off a four-touchdown performance in rallying the Packers from 23 points down to a thrilling win in Dallas. He may need another huge performance Sunday because the Packers remain in must-win mode. Green Bay would be eliminated from playoff contention with a loss or tie and a Chicago win.
Rodgers stressed this week that he felt closer to returning, then told the media on Thursday: "I have a good sense of what's going to happen," referencing his updated medical checks.
Meanwhile, McCarthy said Thursday that Rodgers "looked very good at practice. I would state him ready to play." The Packers' coach stressed, though, that the team was "going through the process" with regards to Rodgers' recovery.
The Packers close the regular season next week in Chicago. It's possible that game could be for the NFC North title, pending Sunday's results.
Whether Rodgers gets the go-ahead then will not be revealed until sometime after Week 16 concludes.
Favre would play
I'm not sure why Rodgers isn't being cleared to play, but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with that damned porn stash he's sporting.
Easy choice huh Mike T.? Watcha gonna do when we unleash the Beast on you! Go Pack!
.....OKAAAAY, we get it already SI...stop milking the obvious.
I have this feeling that he will never be as good again. First, he holds onto the ball so make that perfect pass, hench no interceptions. He will give that up and start tossing goof balls in the air and it will be over for him and the Pack. They have no defense to carry them so his downfall will put the Pack in the back for a long time.
Packers fans are the laughing stock of the NFL
Makes sense, one doesn't need a good QB or a good team to beat the Steelers these days.
What a pansy
Hoping the packers win this week so the bears can shatter their dreams in week 17.
Aaron Rodgers, the NFLs very own Derrick Rose.
It's not like this is a BAD move. And this is coming from a Bears fan. Of the three teams still in the NFC North, the Packers may have the best shot at winning. Flynn has been playing a little better and should be able to hold his own against the Steelers D, while it's a given Ben will dice up the Packers D. Meanwhile, you just know the Lions will choke against the Giants. And, really, as much of an optimist I want to be about my own team, let's be adults here: the top rated run team in the NFL versus one of the worst run defenses in the NFL in a long time? All the Philly D needs to do is play at a respectable level and the Eagles have the game wrapped up.
Poor Erin Fraudgers has to miss another game, what a fragile little cry baby.
Careful, or they'll start calling you Aaron Rose soon.
Drats!!! I wanted him to play so we could all laugh when he got injured again. Made of glass just like Clay Matthews & Ryan Braun.
♫ Babe....I got you babe ♫....Okay campers rise and shine. Don't forget your booties because its cold out there. Aaron Rodgers has still not been medically cleared to play. ♫ Babe....I got you babe ♫....Okay campers rise and shine. Don't forget your booties because its cold out there. Aaron Rodgers has still not been medically cleared to play. ♫ Babe....I got you babe ♫....Okay campers rise and shine. Don't forget your booties because its cold out there.

Like nobody saw this one coming! You can't sacrifice your 100 million dollar baby for 2 games at the end of the season, and then get spanked in the first playoff game IF YOU MAKE it that far. Look at the bright side....there's a pretty good chance of a SNOW-BOWL game this coming Sunday....how cool is that?!!
The Packers are doing everything in their power to not win the NFC North this year.
To all the people saying Rodgers is a coward and comparing him to Derrick Rose. This is completely different. Rose was medically cleared to play back before the NBA playoffs of last season started, he just didn't want to or feel ready to play.
Rodgers has been wanting to play for the last two weeks, it's the doctors and other Green Bay powers that be that are holding him back. To be perfectly honest I kind of think the front office wants the team to lose another game and take them out of contention, just so Green Bay can shut Rodgers down for the year.
SI's other headline about Rogers says that he looks like he's ready to go. Well, which one is it?
After what happened to Derrick Rose and Kobe Bryant I say don't rush Rodgers back. Frankly this silly obsessive news coverage is kind of tiresome.
LMAO this makes my day. Rodgers is a coward.
Just shut him down for the year already. It's ridiculous, if he hasn't played by now, he isn't playing.
@WisPack Agreed. It's a slap in the face to the fans most of all.
@ElvisHitler ....another SI "TROLL" suffering from LOW self esteem.....ZZzzsst!
@ElvisHitler Never happen, they will not get by the Steelers who took apart Cinci and Detroit recently.
@ElvisHitler You're an idiot
@ElvisHitler Except Rose was cleared by doctors and didn't want to play. Rodgers wants to play but the doctors wont let him.
But yeah, go ahead thinking he's exactly like Derrick Rose.
@ElvisHitler Oh please, first time hurt in his career.
@Richard--Ramirez That would be kinda funny cept the bro's got a ring. How about your QB?
@Bearsclone *Erin
@Wisconsin Death Trip Totally ridicoulous to pay out that kind of money. He and mathews eat up 66% of the payroll. Two guys. One is on the bench and the other one left his great game in the 2011 super bowl, hasn't done swat since.
....ALSO, look at all the draft picks we MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN by tanking the season with a 5-11 record. Not that I agree with it, BUT still.....just say'n.
@SephirothDZX I'm not a Pack fan but agree with this guy's ^^^^ sentiments.
@j7apple @ElvisHitler Try again
@PhillyPenn To be perfectly honest, as a Packer fan, I don't want to see Green Bay make the playoffs. Green Bay sneaking into the playoffs just means that Rodgers and company will end up bailing out our coach and general manager. If this season has demonstrated anything to Packer fans, its that McCarthy is a very subpar manager when he doesn't have a Hall of Fame level quarterback bailing him out all the time.
@ElvisHitler @j7apple 7 games compared to two entire seasons? Come on man.
@SephirothDZX @Wisconsin Death Trip @PhillyPenn Did McCarthy tell Favre to throw that pick in overtime?
@SephirothDZX @PhillyPenn Can you name any great coaches that didn't have a lot of talent to help him out? Every Super Bowl winner of the last 15+ years has had either a very good QB or one of the best defenses of all time.
@SephirothDZX @PhillyPenn You don't wan them in the playoffs? You're an awful fan.
@Wisconsin Death Trip @SephirothDZX @PhillyPenn he will stop doing that once he starts playing and start tossing goof balls. The pack is doomed. Basement dwellers for years to come. Hopefully the developmental players Ted drafted will come around in three to five years from now so they can go up against our rivals top free agents.
@Wisconsin Death Trip @SephirothDZX @PhillyPenn I'm just curious, which 2 SB trips are you talking about? If you're refurring to the 07 championship game against the Giants I'd be prone to disagree. Mike McCarthy cost the Packers that game with some truly awful play calling and poor in-game adjustments.
@SephirothDZX @Wisconsin Death Trip @PhillyPenn Somebody had to teach these guys the game....they didn't learn the trade from a cereal box! Favre was a freak with the football and was lucky and SLOPPY. He cost us at least 2 trips to the SB, PATHETIC. Rodger's only flaw is he TAKES to many sacks because he hangs on to the ball waaay to long. That and he has a lousy front 5 to deal with.
@Wisconsin Death Trip @SephirothDZX @PhillyPenn A lot of Packer fans love to rip on Dom Capers for the work he's done on the defensive end. While I do agree that Capers is past his prime, the defense is more of a Ted Thompson problem than a Dom Capers issue. Capers can only work with the tools he's given, and pretty much all of the tools he's been given to work with are Ted Thompson choices.
To be perfectly honest, I think Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers have been bailing McCarthy and Thompson out for a few years now.
@SephirothDZX @PhillyPenn AND...the players they drafted didn't amount too much in the end.....that's becoming VERY evident the past 2 years.

There are still places left where the prehistoric wisdom of our planet stands sentinel. I just returned from such a spot, a high elevation Sierra Nevada fortress of wildness and ancient Earth. Ironically, our own federal government has designated the region a wilderness. It's almost comical to me that right as we hiked into this area, bickering, partisan factions back east shut down the very government that presumes to preside here. In fact, until those folks sort out their problems, you can visit these wilderness areas without a federal permit. Heads up, however, if something happens to you during your permit-less visit; you are on your own. I like the sound of that, actually.
These places are vast and impervious to current events. Trust me; they do not care about human welfare, cultures, health, poverty, wealth, communities, cities, or governments. They just silently stand testament throughout the millennia to the true nature of our home.

Parenting Perspectives: Which brings us to the subject that annoys meOK, the election is finally over, and we've gotten back to our "normal" lives. I stopped recording on my DVR every TV show I wanted to watch so that I could fast-forward through the ugly political ads, and I'm weaning myself from going home after work every night and watching MSNBC. (But I do so like Rachel Maddow, and Chris Matthews was even growing on me.)

A record-high 7,100 University of Tennessee employees statewide participated in the 2011 Employee Engagement Survey and shared feedback on topics such as:
More than 5,700 regular faculty and staff scheduled to work at least 50 percent time completed the survey in November 2011. Additionally, more than 1,300 faculty and exempt staff on the UT Knoxville campus completed the same survey in spring 2011. Feedback from these groups was included in the results shared through open forums held at each campus and institute in spring 2012.
To ensure anonymity of responses, a nationally recognized, third-party vendor, ModernThink, administered the survey. Participant identity is confidential, and employees were encouraged to respond candidly. The survey took about 20 minutes to complete.
Results are being used in many ways, big and small, at both system and campus levels. Visit the Next Steps and Monitoring Progress section to learn more about implementation progress.
Employee input is critical to making the University of Tennessee a better place to work. Thanks to everyone who took advantage of this opportunity to voice their opinions.

Mike Vogt, the coach who started Orange City University's football program in 2010 and improved on the Titans record in each of their first three seasons, has resigned. He is returning to Pinecrest of North Carolina as offensive coordinator.
University was 5-6 with a bowl loss this season after going 2-8 and 3-7.
Vogt, who was 27 when he landed the University position, said he is "lessening the workload" to be able to spend more time with his four-year-old daughter and five-month-old son.
"They practice from 6-8 in the morning before school up there and I'll be home at 4:45 every day after school," Vogt said.
Vogt, a former Deltona quarterback, was an assistant at Pinecrest in 2009.
"As a head coach I found out I just couldn't leave it at the office. We'd be watching a movie in March and I'm thinking about what we could have done in week eight." Vogt said. "I'm young (30). I'm confident I'll be a head coach again. For the time being, at least until both kids are in school, it's time for me to enjoy them."
