2008 CFN Fiesta Bowl Preview
Best Longhorn
Bowl Moment:
With all due respect to its recent thrilling comeback wins over USC
and Michigan in the Rose Bowl, nothing defines the Texas bowl
experience more than the Cotton Bowl, home to almost half of the
program's 46 bowl destinations. Arguably the most rewarding of those
trips to Dallas was in 1970, when the 'Horns came from behind twice
in the fourth quarter to beat a Notre Dame team that was ending a
44-year self-imposed bowl-moratorium. The win, No. 500 in school
history, cemented UT's second national title.
Best Buckeye Bowl Moment: Beyond the plethora of Rose Bowl
wins, nothing could compare to the 2003 Fiesta Bowl. In one of the
most thrilling college football games of all-time, Ohio State upset
Miami in overtime to cop its first unanimous national championship
in 34 years. A distant runner-up was the come-from-behind win
against USC in the 1969 Rose Bowl that put the finishing touches on
that previous national title.
The Last Time You'll See ...
Ohio State: RB Chris Wells. Depending on which other players
decide to leave early, Wells has a chance to be the first back
selected in April. He's got the burst and quick feet in a 6-1,
237-pound frame that NFL types covet. Even a foot injury and modest
support from the passing game and offensive line couldn't keep the
junior from running for more than 1,000 yards and eight scores.
Texas: DE Brian Orakpo. After a modest beginning to his
career, Orakpo put it all together at a most opportune time for
himself and the program. A good fit in Will Muschamp's up-tempo
defense, he's responded in his senior year with 15.5 tackles for
loss and 10.5 sacks, both tops in the Big 12. His package of power
and speed portend a very bright future at the next level.
Breakout Player ...
Texas: WR Malcolm Williams. After toiling behind veterans Quan
Cosby and Jordan Shipley this season, Williams will be ready to wear
the go-to tag in 2009. He showed glimpses of the future, especially
in the Texas Tech game, finishing the regular season with 17 catches
for 304 yards and three touchdowns. At 6-3 and 218 pounds, he has
the physical gifts and the work ethic to be a force, especially if
Colt McCoy returns for his senior year.
Ohio State: QB Terrelle Pryor. Everyone knows that the sky is
the limit for Pryor once he improves his reads and fine-tunes his
overall game as a passer. A bunch of practices in December and a
date with a talented defense will only hasten the maturation
process. If Pryor has a breakthrough game and somehow engineers an
upset Texas, the expectations for his sophomore year will ramp up
Best Non-Game Event
The Insight Fiesta Bowl Block Party is a New Year's Eve celebration
in downtown Tempe that annually attracts 150,000 people and more
than 40 bands on several stages. The fans from the four teams
competing in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and Insight Bowl are able to
enjoy the event, and the Insight Bowl has been held in the afternoon
on December 31 just down the street in Sun Devil Stadium. The event
has a national headliner each year, including the Goo Goo Dolls,
Billy Idol, Barenaked Ladies, LeAnn Rimes, Hootie & The Blowfish and
Live, to name a few. Legendary band Styx will perform at this year's
event. The Block Party has been named one of the top ten places in
the nation to ring in the New Year by USA Today, and "The Place to
Party" by The Sporting News.
Player Gift Package
Players from each team will receive a MyVu Personal Media Viewer, an
Apple iPod Nano, a Kenneth Cole Tostitos Fiesta Bowl watch, a snack
pack, and a game hat.
Charitable Component
As a non-profit organization, the Fiesta Bowl believes in the
importance of community outreach and service. Through our
involvement and contributions to charitable groups, it has upheld
its commitment of annually supporting organizations devoted to
enhancing the community. The Fiesta Bowl contributes to more than 45
charities each year.
How Success is Measured
Every year is a success in a different way. The committee has been
fortunate to have a sell-out in 23 of the past 24 Tostitos Fiesta
Bowls and host six national championship games. The Insight Bowl
continues to grow and it's an honor to be partnered with the Big 12
and Big Ten conferences in that game. The Tostitos Fiesta Bowl,
Insight Bowl and year-round events provide an economic boost to the
local economy and all of its events give people of all ages and
backgrounds an opportunity to participate. Some years they've got
double-overtime thrillers and some years there are blowouts.
However, their annual goal is to provide the best hospitality and
experience possible for all of its customers, which includes the
teams, fans, media, administrators and participants in all events.
MVP of the Bowl
It would be impossible to single one person out. The Fiesta Bowl and
Insight Bowl have more than 3,000 volunteers, led this year chairman
Dave Tilson, who give a great deal of time and effort in their
respective areas. Some are involved with the bowl games, some with
the parade, and some with the band championship. All are part of the
Fiesta Bowl family and an integral part of the organizations.
Impact to the Community
The 2007 year that included the Insight Bowl, Tostitos Fiesta
Bowl, and Tostitos BCS National Championship Game generated an
economic impact of $401.7 million to the state's economy, according
to the ASU W.P. Carey School of Business. In non-championship years,
the games generate approximately $200 million to the state's economy
and have generated more than $2 billion to the state's economy over
the last 37 years.
Role of Volunteers
As stated above, the Fiesta Bowl was started by volunteers and
is successful because of its volunteers. They are the most
dedicated group of individuals an organization could ever have, and
they continue to raise the bar each and every year.

George McGovern's speech
Original post made by Jag Singh, Duveneck/St. Francis, on Feb 22, 2007
An Impartial Interrogation of George W. Bush

It is well that McGovern never gained the presidency. It is well for his self image that he asked those questions in a forum where there would be no knowledgable answers, because the fatuity of most of them was easily demonstrated. While I honor his war service, I find his slap at Bush's service to be contemptible. I entered the military a bit younger than McGovern's entry and I did not have the comfort either of a warm bed every night or a fixed number of missions to end my combat time, but I would not demean his service the way he is free to demean that of Bush. I wonder - did they use oxygen all the time back then?

They feel bad, so they found you these other deals to make up for it.
Select Local Merchants
Moscow BalletRead MoreNearly a century ago, the Hippodrome opened as a combination movie palace and vaudeville theater, spending more than 70 years hosting big names such as Bob Hope and Frank Sinatra. Following a double-decade period of slow business and bad hairstyles, the Hippodrome closed down in 1990. Now, however, after an exhaustive restoration project that reanimated the theater's chandelier-lit arches, the mural above the proscenium stage, and the grand-theater boxes that hearken back to opera's heyday, the Hippodrome reopens to the delight of Baltimore's cultural landscape.4400 University Dr.Fairfax, VA US
Manassas Ballet TheatreRead MoreManassas Ballet Theatre's 25 full-time dancers comprise the only professional ballet company in Northern Virginia, yet its biggest star never appears on the stage of the Hylton Performing Arts Center. You won't be able to miss it, though. It's the live musical accompaniment, courtesy of the Manassas Ballet Theatre Orchestra. The strings and horns add extra emotional altitude to each cabriole and grand jet??an effect one simply wouldn't get with a recording. It all combines into an experience that has delighted both The Washington Post and readers of Virginia Living, among others.9004 Mathis AvenueManassas, VA US
The NutcrackerRead MoreThe Northern Virginia Youth Ballet has distinguished itself as one of the only ways local youth can work with acclaimed guest artists and nationally renowned choreographers while wearing leotards. The company realized dream of Yuri Nikitenko, the founder of the Academy of Russian Ballet and a dancer recognized across the former Soviet Union and the United States alike. Graduates of the school have gone on to perform with such legendary institutions at the Bolshoi Academy in Moscow, and they regularly place among the top finalists at the Youth America Grand Prix.8840 Rixlew LaneManassas, VA US

As a diabetic, what cholesterol treatments will I need?
A standard recommendation by both diabetes societies and cardiology societies is that diabetics are going to have recommended therapy with a statin,
the cholesterol drug to reduce bad cholesterol at a much earlier stage and even with much lower levels to start with of the bad cholesterol than would a non diabetic.
The reason that's a standard recommendation is there was a huge study with 20,000 patients, randomized half and half, to Zocor, one of the statins, or placebo,
and after about 4 or 5 years, what they found was that the diabetics who got the statin, even though at that point, they didn't meet the guidelines recommendations for needing it,
those diabetics were at significantly lower risk of a heart attack, stroke or dying at the end of that period.
So statins can change your life if you're a diabetic by reducing your risk of one of these events, which means that that life altering or life ending experience is just less likely to happen.

Customer Reviews
Great app, could replace Travelink on my car if I mounted my iPhone on the dashboard
Travel conditions reported in real time and updated by user community. Inrix was particularly beneficial when traveling through Atlanta on a road trip from Chicago to Florida. It was great to see the cameras and color coded traffic conditions so we can avoid the congestion (time wise and road wise). I'm rating this app 5 stars, but I have a wish list item; I wish that the app had a way to announce that a new traffic incident is in my 'path'. Travel link flashes an announcement on my car screen if an incident comes up and I can re-route through GPS. Thanks Inrix!
Great with lots of others around.
Like all "social" and "crowd-powered" apps, this is only as good as the number of people using it.
For interstates and metro areas, the clarity and ease of use leaves other apps in the dust. Waze is too cute and centered on social media - this app is for the road warrior who wants something to help them avoid traffic, accidents, construction, and speed traps.
The time dynamically updates as conditions are updated, and alternate routes are shown with arrival times, as well.
Get the paid version. Worth it for lifetime access. The app automatically learns when I take my commute, and shows me the right route at the right time. Squeezing in my morning coffee stop is easy when I know how much spare time I have!
One improvement would be to stop forcibly zooming the map when an alert shows. A potential alert 1.0 Miles ahead is not helpful when the map zooms to only show the next 50 feet! This is an intermittent issue.
Excellent App!
The data is established when users enter the information. The Alert button is large and easy to find when you come across the police, an accident, highway construction, ect. The second step is to click on the " on your side" or "the other side" button which makes entering the correct information perfect! Then hit enter and the data is instant. It allows fellow commuters to communicate traffic conditions quickly and accurately.

Quality music streaming isn't cheapespecially from Sonos. At $399, the ZonePlayer S5 is definitely out of a lot of holiday budgets, but this player is far and away the cheapest way to get Sonos's music streaming in a single bundle. The sound quality is nice and full with no distortion, and you can use your iPod or iPhone to control music playback. All said, it's a lot cheaper than hiring a bunch of carolers.

Author's Note: Please take a few minutes and Join the Firedoglake Membership Program today. FDL provides the tools that help me and others extend our reach with our rants so we need to support FDL when we can.
Hey folks! I'm sure you are aware that Firedoglake has been providing support to the Occupy efforts throughout the country via Occupy Supply. This is the first in a series of periodic diaries that I will be writing that will highlight diaries written by Firedoglake members who are acting as Liaisons to their local Occupy efforts. I will also be including some other Occupy related links to FDL posts and diaries that I think you might find interesting.
Just in two months time, Occupy Wall Street has already made a significant impact in moving the national dialogue towards the needs of people rather than the needs of the elite.
KrisAinTX had a couple of diaries at the end of November. This first one covers the delivery of Occupy Supplies to the Austin encampment while this second one is on some positive coverage for Occupy Supply by the student run newspaper at the University of Texas, Austin. [cont'd.]
This diary from Bob Brigham is on Occupy Charlottsville. Unfortunately, Charlottsville is one of the sites that has been evicted.
Djvjgrrl let us know about the reception in Tacoma, WA of Occupy Supplies along with an update on the Tacoma and Washington State Occupy efforts.
Popyeye99 let us know about Occupy St. Louis with a great video of a march by local Shia Muslims accompanied by Occupy St Louis folks in solidarity.
RF Shunt wrote about the delivery of Occupy Supplies to Occupy Pittsburgh.
Figaro tells us about Occupy San Diego, including a video of a march led by a seven year old boy.
While not directly related to Occupy Supply, JiminTampa tells us how Occupy Tampa has been feeding breakfast to occupiers for 18¢ per person.
Finally, in case you missed it, here is yesterday's (Saturday, December 10) FDL Book Salon on The 99%: How the Occupy Wall Street Movement is Changing America.
Below is a slideshow of pictures taken for Occupy Supply at some of the efforts around the country:
This link is to an FDL Activism Toolkit in case you want to write a diary for your local efforts (or just wish to write a diary at MyFDL for whatever topic you choose). Keep us informed as you fight the power!

Windfall Theatre still in tune with 'A Little Night Music'
Many Stephen Sondheim musicals benefit from being performed in a smaller space, where voices and emotions require no amplification to be heard and seen. That's perhaps most true of "A Little Night Music" - a delectable lemon meringue that combines the delicate, light farce of Hugh Wheeler's book with the tart filling provided by Sondheim's score.
It's therefore no accident that the nearby Writers' Theatre production of "Night Music" last summer - in a house that barely seats 100 - was better in every way than the 2009 Broadway revival featuring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury. »Read Full Article(1)

Medal record
Platt Adams (March 23, 1885 – February 27, 1961) was an American athlete. He competed in various events at the 1908 and 1912 Olympics and won a gold and a silver medal in jumping events in 1912.[1]
Adams was born in Belleville, New Jersey. He had a brother, Ben Adams, also an Olympic athlete. In 1908 he finished fifth in the triple jump competition as well as in the standing high jump event. In the standing long jump competition he finished sixth. He also participated in the discus throw event and in the Greek discus contest but in both events his result is unknown.
Four years later he won the gold medal in the standing high jump and the silver medal in the standing long jump. In 1912 he also finished fifth in the triple jump competition and 23rd in the high jump event. At the same Olympics he competed in the baseball event which was held as demonstration sport.
A resident of South Orange, New Jersey, Adams was serving in the New Jersey General Assembly when he was named as the state's Chief Boxing Inspector in March 1923.[2]
He died at his home in the Normandy Beach section of Toms River, New Jersey on February 27, 1961.[3][4]

Braves swept by Mets in doubleheader
Wheeler gave up only four hits and struck out seven while consistently reaching the upper 90s on the radar gun. He struggled a bit with his control, walking five, but got out of every jam.
The performance was especially sweet since it came not far from where Wheeler grew up and came to prominence as a high school star at East Paulding High School in Atlanta's northwest suburbs, before going in the first round of the 2009 amateur draft.
"I had some jitters going at first," said Wheeler, who went back out to sign autographs in his full uniform after the game. "Then I settled down a little bit, probably the fourth or fifth inning I think it was, found a rhythm, settled down, and I was able to throw all my pitches for strikes."
He was cheered on by dozens of family and friends, who roared loudly from their seats behind the Mets' dugout. Also watching from a second-row seat behind home plate was former Braves star Chipper Jones, who sat with the young pitcher's parents. Jones and Wheeler have the same agent.
"It was definitely an experience," Wheeler said.
The Mets still have a lot of work to do, but the future looks a lot brighter with Harvey and Wheeler at the top of the rotation.
"I hope people saw this," said manager Terry Collins, no doubt referring to New York's long-suffering NL fans. "Certainly they're going to enjoy watching these two guys for a long time. They're going to be around."
Wheeler was shaky in the first, walking two while throwing 23 pitches - only eight for strikes. Catcher Anthony Recker strolled to the mound to offer encouragement, and pitching coach Dan Warthen trotted out when Wheeler overthrew a pitch to B.J. Upton, the ball sailing far out of the strike zone. Third baseman David Wright also came over to offer some advice.
"You've got this," he told Wheeler. "You're better than them."
Upton grounded out to end the threat, and the 23-year-old right-hander - the first child of the 1990s to play for the Mets - came back the next inning to strike out the side.
Recker, hitting just .158 coming into the game, broke up the scoreless duel between Wheeler and Paul Maholm (7-6) in the seventh, crushing his second homer of the season over the center-field wall to put the Mets ahead 2-0.
The Braves responded with a run of their own in the bottom half on Justin Upton's sacrifice fly against Brandon Lyon.
That was their last hurrah.
Rookie Alex Wood (0-1) took the loss in Game 1 in his first career start, lasting just three innings and struggling with his command.
Wood, who had been pitching out of the bullpen, was lifted after throwing 73 pitches. He allowed two hits, walked three and struck out five, leaving with the Braves down 1-0. He had problems keeping his glasses on and battled a cut finger on his pitching hand, which affected his control.

Midland, Shirley cagers split at Timbo tourney
TIMBO — Midland and Shirley split high school basketball games at the Timbo Invitational Tournament here Thursday.
The Midland Lady Mustangs whipped the Shirley Lady Blue Devils 61-41 as Emma Sellers and Kerstie Bumpous both recorded double doubles. Seller hit for 24 points and grabbed 14 rebounds. Sellers added 22 points and 10 boards.
The Lady Mustangs also won despite committing 20 turnovers.
"We rebounded very well last night and that was probably the major factor in our win," Midland Coach Brandon Gates said this morning.
Midland's girls improved to 3-3.
Jr. Pioneers cap perfect season with blowout win
When the Batesville Junior Pioneers' football season began, Coach Doug Walls and crew hoped for the best, but were prepared for a lackluster season. They wanted their team to improve each week and let the chips fall where they may.
To say the least, they didn't expect to repeat as Class 5A-East District champions and they sure didn't expect to do it with an undefeated season.
Midland teams beaten at Timbo
TIMBO — Midland's senior high basketball teams were defeated Wednesday night in the semifinals of the Timbo Invitational.
Lead Hill rallied from a 15-point, second-half deficit to drop the Lady Mustangs 66-62.
"We were up 15 in the second half and blew it," Midland Coach Brandon Gates said.
The Lady Mustangs are 2-3 and all three of their losses have been close.
"It seems like the other teams are playing with more fire than we are," Gates said. "I am not a guy who makes excuses, but we have played every night this week and I saw some tired legs out there."
The games: Oct. 28
Greene County Tech at Batesville
Batesville Coach Doug Walls has been the Junior Pioneers' head coach for 29 years and has enjoyed a lot of success. A win tonight would give him just his fourth undefeated season and his second straight outright championship. Batesville clinched a share of the title last week and is one game ahead of Forrest City in the standings. Forrest City has Wynne tonight and Blytheville next week. Batesville running back Joey Rodriguez should reach 1,000 yards tonight. He needs 58.
Drag results announced
NEWPORT — Bill Smith of Batesville won the foot brake competition Sunday at Speedy's Newport Raceway.
Daniel White and Ross Williams finished second and third, respectively.
Gary Spicer won the street division with Glen Nugent and Steven Simpson in tow.
The top spot in super pro went to Tye Combs with Roger Moon Jr. second and Robin Koenig third.
Joey Bogard won the outlaw street bike division.
Southerners, Cavemen aim to end drought
CAVE CITY — The Southside Southerners and Cave City Cavemen are scheduled to meet Friday night in a game that has been circled on each team's calendar for a long time.
What wasn't anticipated was that the week nine Highway 167 Showdown would be between two winless teams. Cave City, one year removed from a 9-2 record and its first district championship, is 0-8 this season. To its credit, the Cavemen lost a lot of talent at graduation and moved up one classification to 4A.
6-time state champs stop Lady Pioneers
WYNNE — The Batesville Lady Pioneers' volleyball season came to an end here Wednesday night at the hands of the 6-time defending state champions.
The Siloam Springs Lady Panthers swept the Lady Pioneers, winning 25-18, 25-13, 25-12 in a quarterfinal match of the Class 5A State Tournament at Wynne High School.
The Lady Pioneers finished with a 15-8 record, shared the 5A Central Conference championship with Little Rock Christian Academy, qualified for their first state tournament and collected their first state-tournament victory along the way.
Fiery Golden Eagles await Pioneers
Two days before they are to host the Batesville Pioneers in a key 5A-East District football game, Coach Jeff Conaway said one of those absolute "This, I know," about his Greene County Tech Golden Eagles.
"These kids have been through the fire," the third-year coach said. "They've been through a lot of ups and downs this year, and we're still a young team," he said. "We've got 13 seniors, and, remember, these seniors were on a ninth-grade team that didn't win a single game."
Senior trio lead Pioneers in tackles, other ways
They're 1, 2, 3 on the tackle chart, and something special for one of the top defenses in Class 5A football.
"They all asked to be on special teams," Batesville Coach Dave King said of seniors Justin Smithee, Steven Baney and Chance Rogers. "I look at things like that to get a measure of what players mean to the team. Your seniors who start (at other positions) don't always want to play on kickoff and punt teams. That tells you a lot about them."
Lady Pioneers overcome nerves, strike for state tournament first
WYNNE — In their first-ever state volleyball tournament appearance, the Batesville Lady Pioneers survived some early nervousness, rallied often in a match with 10 lead changes and stood their ground against a team with much more post-season experience.
Include all that with their 3-0 victory over the Magnolia Lady Panthers in the first round of the Class 5A State Tournament here Tuesday. The game scores were 25-22, 25-17, 25-15.
No wonder Batesville Coach Tanya Haigwood sounded so happy this morning.
Championship is secure, but Junior Pioneers want more
The Batesville Junior Pioneers have already clinched their second straight Class 5A-East District championship, but there's still plenty to play for in the season finale Thursday night.
That's when Batesville will host Greene County Tech with hopes of giving Coach Doug Walls his fourth undefeated season in 29 years.
But, the proverbial cherry on top is not a given.
Batesville Offensive Coordinator Craig Stave remembers being in similar situations.

You are you and I am I. You do your thing and I'll do mine. And if in the end we meet up together, it's beautiful.
Heyyy! :) new to this whole online dating stuff....lol Sooooo, let me start off by introducing myself. My name is Dylan. I attended Nova Southeastern University during my freshman yr of college. At the end of my freshman yr, I received a full ride scholarship to the Univ. Of Alabama, but I play college ball at a dII college, about 10 min sways called stillman college. I've been playing baseball since the age of 4 and I'm just hooked on to it. I love playing baseball and you know when you're young and you say I want to be this when I grow up....Well, I wanted to be a professional baseball player when I grow up, but I then realized the chances were very slim. I REALLY want to be a doctor, specializing in internal medicine. Im a biology/pre-med major. im a very hard worker and whenever i want something, i go and get it. One word to describe me is optimistic. In my world loll, i think as if nobody's expectations are bigger than mine. I let my work and game speak for me. From what I've heard, people describe me as one of the nicest/intelligent, humble guys they've met. I play the piano and drums. You'll usually catch me on the piano/drums either when I'm in a sad/bad mood. It just feel so relieved afterwards. I'm a type of guy that likes to have fun, go out, hang out. However, m not the partying/ late night type of guy. I'm an outgoing guy and people say that I'm funny, so I guess that's good. Soooo, there's not really a type of woman I want. If you're an athlete, especially if you're a softball player, BIG PLUS right there ;) but at the end, you are you and I am I. You do your thing and I'll do mine. And if in the end we meet up together, it's beautiful. That's how I think of it :)

Just because they are fixing these issues, doesn't make them a good dealer. Obviously they inspected NOTHING and just sold you the truck. Same happened to me while buying this 09', they gave me the 3 month/ 3000 mile warranty, which I used to have the tires balanced, exhaust manifold and broken bolts replaced, tie-rods replaced due to a recall, and rear pinion seal replaced. I was not very nice the last time, and told the service department what I really thought of them...trust me, they don't care, and they don't properly inspect. Thank goodness for this site, I was able to solve a lot of issues before my "dealer" warranty expired. You can hold a grudge, and never go there for service like I plan to. I don't give a free pass for fixing their mistakes, when they ALL should have been caught on the inspection.

I've started cutting out dairy and other foods to hopefully rule those out as a problem before her 1 month appt on Tuesday.
We tonight, DH was trying to soothe her and at one point she stopped crying and gnawed on his finger for almost ten minutes. Her gums do look a little white as if her teeth are near the surface. My other two babies got their first tooth around 6-7 months, but my odd did start teething around 3-4 months I think.
Could this poor baby be teething already? It wouldn't explain the spitting up and gurgly burps, but I suppose it could explain the incessant painful crying, gassiness, and nonstop wanting to nurse.
I just hope it's not teething PLUS reflux! Ouch!

This roasted butternut squash recipe is based on what my friend Chrissie told me she made for dinner the other night. It's one of my new favorite things.
"Kabocha Squash roasted with mushrooms, leeks and tossed with olive oil, vinegar and sea salt = WIN!"
I didn't have kabocha squash in the house, but we are rich with butternut squash! The only ways I've ever made butternut squash are stuffed or in soup, so I was excited to try out a new recipe!
Roasted Butternut Squash with Mushrooms and Scallions
- 1 butternut squash, cubed with seeds removed
- 6 large scallions, diced (Leeks would be stellar, too! Since the CSA basket had scallions, though, I went with those.)
- 8 oz. mushrooms, cut into large chunks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper, to taste
- Preheat the oven to 425 F.
- Toss the veggies with the olive oil in a large baking dish. Roast for one hour, until the squash is soft, tossing every 20 minutes to make sure everything cooks evenly.
- Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
I served this topped with a diced, pan fried Field Roast veggie sausage, and it was pretty much the perfect fall meal! Since the sausage was super flavorful, I opted to skip tossing it in the dressing that Chrissie talked about, but I can't wait to eat the leftovers that way!

Several blog posts discuss the role of the private sector in the provision of basic
services – such as health, education and water supply. A common thread is
the argument that private providers already play a key role in providing poor people
with access to basic services, and that governments can make better use of this
opportunity through partnerships and appropriate policies towards private providers.

Prato della Valle
The bigger square in Padova and one of widest in Europe.
This square have a round island in the midle, surrounded by a canal. There ae four bridges to walk through. The canal is decorated with a double ring of huge statues, 78 at all, representing famous people. The island is all green planted with nice tree.
The municipality use this place to organize events, there is fireworks on new year eve and on 15 August. But it is just a very nice place to go for a walk, enjoy the green and have a coffee or an ice cream.
During Saturday there are a huge market where you can find clothes, shoes, flowers and plants.
Try to go at night, it is a excellent place to take picture, the statues are all lighted up and make wonderful reflections in the canal in the center of the square.
Prato della Valle
It's hard to imagine that this attractive landmark of Padua was originally swampland.
In 1775, Andre Memmia - the patrician of Padova aka "The Provider of Padova" declared a programme of reclamation and restoration.
During excavations, ruins of an ancient Roman theatre were found.
"The Square" as the area is popularly known, contains a grassed island - L'Isola Memmia, which is surrounded by a water filled moat, crossed by four stone bridges.
The inner and outer 'banks' of the moat are surrounded by 78 stone statues, each representing a famous citizen of Padua, or someone with connections to the city. One of the statues is of Memmia himself.
Surrounding the moat is a pathway, then a broad roadway that encircles the square. This is popular with joggers, rollerbladers and cyclists.
At 90, 000 sq metres, this is the largest square in Italy, and one of the largest in Europe - possibly only second to Moscow's Red Square
New Years Day and the Festival of Annunciation each August a party is held here with music and fireworks
Prato della Valle originally had so many trees growing, that very little grass was able to grow. Now, all but one of the original trees has died, so there is plenty of grass for the many students, workers and visitors to sit on.
I first saw this impressive square on the Sunday, when a lively market was held. I only saw a small part of the market as not realising this was just held on the last Sunday of each month!,
I'd planned to go back later in my stay. Hmmm- I'm now regretting not buying one of the old posters that I'd liked.
One of my favourite visits to 'The Square' was at sunset, when the sun, statues and clouds were reflected in the water.
I sat for quite a while entranced by the sight of the reflected clouds which appeared to be underneath the water.

Prato della Valle
In Roman times, this square was known as the Campo Marzio, the social center of the city. It was built around the Zairo theater, whose remains continued to stand here for centuries after the fall of Rome. In 1775, Governor Andrea Memmo commissioned the architect Domenico Cerato to design an elliptical public space with an island in the middle. Along the moat, he had statues erected of Padua's most distinguished citizens. It is still the main center of Padua.

Prato delle Valle--Piazza
If you visit Padova you will undoubtedly see Prato dell Valle as it is the center of Padova. The buses and tram circle the area, and the big market on weekends, any festivals that might be scheduled, and concerts will take place here.
Padova has many websites that list any festivities, so you might google padova and check on the itineraries for the month you are visitiing.
You can walk north of this piazza and go along the "no car" street to the 3 smaller piazzas and the big market building. Also near these piazzas is the University area called the Bo, and if you are lucky you will see some graduates going through the final steps of graduating where they wear funny costumes and read a short dissertation on themselves. There are two musicians that follow them around playing music and their friends and family gather near them when they are reading and hoping not to make a mistake. If they do, they have to take a swig of some high powered liquor as punishment.
I like to think of this area as a place to go and relax, have a coffee and watch the people. I sit near the flower seller area, which makes a nice background to my watercolor sketches.

Prato della Valle
This is the first place people recommended us to see - Prato della Valle: however they told us it was a park - not the square it actuallly is - so for a long time we wondered around looking very lost, thinking we would never find it.
Prato della Valle is an oval "green" square surrounded by a canal and little bridges and lined with a double row of statues depicting important "padovani" (people from Padova) of the past.
It was built in 1775 by the architect Domenico Cerato
you know you are someone special in Padova when they erect a statue to you here !
Once this was a Roman amphitheatre, since 1775 it has been a wonderful piazza, the lagest in Europe, where a canal surrounds a grass oval crossed by paths,
around the canal stand 78 white marble statues of great people from Padovas history, from a distance it looks like a gathering of pale townspeople, close to the effect is stunning
now it is a place of fairs and special events, and it is used daily by the people of Padova as somewhere that children play, elderly people and footsore tourists sit and rest, and lovers meet

Soaking up the rays at Prato della Valle
Padovans and their dogs come to Prato della Valle on weekends to relax and socialize. The 78 statues of famous Padovans appear to be carefully monitoring the " decadent " activities. Prato della Valle was established about 800 years ago, but the site has served as an entertainment venue since ancient Roman times.
In the background is the basilica di Santa Justina, which has dominated the piazza for more than 600 years. Shown in the photo are all 8 domes of the incredible basilica.
Notice the numerous trailers parked between the prato and the basilica. They did not belong to the saint seeking pilgrims. There was something resembling a large weekend flea market in full swing. Merchants sold everything from art antiques to junk to gelato ( ice cream ) from these trailers. Definately an added bonus for weekend visitors to Padova.

Prato della Valle Saturday afternoon.
Prato della Valle near Basilica di Santo Antonio is said to be the largest public square in Italia. It owes its elliptical shape to the ancient Roman ampitheater that once occupied the site. The square is surrounded by a water filled moat. Access is by the bridge shown in the photo. Shown are a few of the 78 statues of famous Padovans adorn the periphery of the square. ( I cannot name any of them ). In the background on your left is a surviving piece of ancient roman Padova, the triumphal arch. It is about 1800 years older than Napolean's copy in Paris.
Prato della Valle is now the favorite gathering of locals & students at Padova's famous 800 year old university. Concerts, plays, political rallies, etc. are often held there. I enjoyed a good concert there that very evening. I was feeling pretty good when I caught the late night train to Venezia afterward. In my condition I was lucky to find my way to the train station.

Prato della Valle
Prato della Valle (literally "meadow of the valley") is a huge oval area south of the city centre is said to be the largest "square" in Europe. The area served as a theatre in Roman times but it deteriorated into an unhealthy swamp until, in 1775, it was transformed into a grand 22-acre park. The area features an oval moat in which 4 bridges span over it so that visitors can reach a central island of grass and paths. At the edges of the moat are 78 statues of foreign sovereigns and important figures in the town's history.

Originally written on The Penalty Flag | Last updated 3/2/12
Almost doesn't count for the Baltimore Ravens as they came only a few plays away from the Super Bowl. If the Ravens plan on making 2011 count for something the organization, players and fans must place their faith in Joe Flacco and continue to build towards their goal. The Ravens have always remained a dominant defensive force to be reckoned with and they have done it with key players such as; Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Terrell Suggs and Haloti Ngata. Players and coaches have come and gone but the Ravens continue to put a top ranked defense on the field year in and year out. The Ravens have done a great job building depth to support their star players through the draft and 2012 should be no different. The Penalty Flag's Mike Presley believes the Ravens will go offense with their first round pick; Round 1, Pick 29: Mohamed Sanu WR Rutgers: This may shock some people but Sanu isn't mocked to the Ravens due to Lee Evans dropping the touchdown pass in the AFC Title game. This has more to do with giving Joe Flacco another weapon along side Torrey Smith in the long haul. Anquan Boldin is 32 [...]
