ITV's search to fill the two most senior roles at the company took a fresh twist yesterday as it appointed a temporary chief executive but a second front-runner in a week ruled himself out as a candidate for chairman.
The broadcaster, which pulled in over 14 million viewers for The X Factor on Sunday, issued a statement updating the market on its search for a new chairman and a chief executive to replace Michael Grade. Speculation over the candidates for both roles has reached fever pitch in the wake of the collapse of talks between ITV and its preferred chief executive candidate, Tony Ball.
A series of heavy hitters have been linked with the chairman's role. Sir Crispin Davies, the front-runner and former chief executive of Reed Elsevier, ruled himself out last week. Sir Michael Bishop, founder of the airline bmi, has since followed.
ITV said yesterday that Sir Crispin and Sir Michael "both recently confirmed to the nominations committee of the board they are not candidates".
The committee has "revised its shortlist accordingly", ITV said, "and is continuing its search with all due speed". Others linked include Sir Christopher Bland, former chairman of BT, GlaxoSmithKline's chairman, Sir Christopher Gent, and Martin Broughton, chairman of British Airways.
The group has appointed John Cresswell, chief operating officer, as interim chief executive "to lead the company through the appointment and arrival of the next chief executive". His role will not start until the appointment of the new chairman.
After ITV failed to agree terms with Tony Ball, Mr Cresswell was among the favourites to take the job full time. Yet the broadcaster announced yesterday that after a full-time chief executive is found, he "then plans to leave to seek a fresh challenge".
Claire Enders, the founder of Enders Analysis, said: "There is a lot of sadness around John's decision to go. There is now a lot of talk that Peter Fincham will be the compromise candidate."
The joint search has led to question-marks over the handling of the situation by the ITV board, with talk that its composition could face a shareholder vote at an extraordinary meeting. "This is a very difficult, unusual and groundbreaking situation for a public company to find itself in," Ms Enders said.
ITV's shares rose more than 6 per cent yesterday after Goldman Sachs said that advertising trends in the UK television market are showing "signs of improvement" in the second half of the year. The shares were bolstered on talk that it could become an acquisition target. "In the medium term we continue to see plausible acquisition interest from RTL/Bertelsmann, which previously indicated interest in ITV to replace its Five channel which continues to lose audience share in the UK market," Goldman's analysts said.
The brokers noted that the "key downside risks" included a weaker than expected ad market and cost savings, and investments by a new chief executive, and added that the spectre of a rights issue is still in the background.

ZDNet's Dana Blankenhorn points out the facts that Jason Matusow's blog hasn't been updated since May 24 (a whole 20 days!!!) and Scoble's leaving of Microsoft, and therefore proof positive that Microsoft has no interest in the open source community:
"My view is that Microsoft was never going to give more than lip service to openness, so why bother? If all you're going to pay me is lip service, frankly, I'm happy to decline the honor. "
I suppose Dana doesn't know about Microsoft Open Source Software Lab, or their team blog Port 25? (It must be good Dana, it was updated less than 24 hours ago 😉
What about Microsoft's Codeplex…? That must have missed Dana radar too. What is it? Well, from the Codeplex wiki (and OSNews.com):
"CodePlex is an online software development environment for open and shared source developers to create, host and manage projects throughout the project lifecycle."
Here's Korby Parnell giving an update (a whole week ago) since the beta launch:
"As announced by project admin, Craig Boyd, the mighty SednaX project will soon be making the move from gotdotnet CodeGallery to CodePlex.com, both of which my team has developed and maintains as free, open, and inclusive project development venues and repositories for developers and aficionados of open and shared source software."
(SednaX is a Visual FoxPro project providing open source add-ons for Visual FoxPro 9.0).
It's in beta, and as Mary Jo Foley points out, will be out of beta when launched at the Open Source Business Conference (OSBC) in London in late June. And according to the article (that we didn't write) it is supporting a number of license types:
"Hilf described CodePlex as a "community development Web site" that is an outgrowth of Microsoft's shared-source effort.
"We are fostering .Net and community developers who are doing community stuff," Hilf said in an interview with Microsoft Watch. "We set out to create something using our best and latest software that would let folks use any license they want" to make their code available, including the GNU General Public License, OpenBSD and Microsoft's own shared-source licenses."
So Dana. You've been a professional journalist for 25 years. I'm sure, if you really wanted to, you could speak to a few people here and find out a little more about all the OS lip service we're paying at Microsoft (or lack of) before your next post 🙂

Cedar Rapids Gazette (Newspaper) - February 7, 1974, Cedar Rapids, Iowa ll* ll* *■ £ I _ JL JUthf Cf ti nr finpids OnjcHc Public senses slack in gravity ot shortages Editorial Page Thursday, February 7, 1974 « , ■ ViWWijl -I HIK m Farm-trend fact-finding COUPLED with an apparent decline in "family farming" as part of a general flow of people from rural areas to urban ones, the rise of "corporate farming" has become a matter of concern to many. This concern provides the spark for a bill designed to help identify, at least, the scope of corporate farming's inroads into Iowa agriculture. Sponsored by Senator Riley, it would require farm corporations other than the family-owned type to file information with the secretary of state. Included would be data as to acreage, location, crop or livestock quantities produced, identity and residence of those in control. This is no great burden on the management. All of it would lead to knowledge useful as a guide to trends and to conditions of significance within the industry. If the bill facilitates a gathering of straight, full facts, it should be passed. There seems to be no need, however, to consider family farming in jeopardy from larger operations 'or to count the corporate approach as a looming threat to Iowa. Family-farm agriculture does represent a way of lift' and social system long prized in these parts, and the values that have gone with it remain strong. Anyone who wants to farm this way should have the opportunity. Those who like the life should freely have the chance to make an adequate and satisfying living in it But larger farms with fewer farmers have resulted from advances in equipment and technique, from the production efficiencies that follow, and from basic economics that support this trend. Corporate farming has been a natural outgrowth of the increase in farm-unit size. There is nothing intrinsically evil, disruptive or sinister in it. Abundant production of quality food is still the prime purpose, and that is in the interest not alone of farmers but the whole society. If any size- or ownership-related consequences NOT in the public interest develop from this trend, the people have both means and power to correct them through new laws concerning land use. taxation, resource conservation, environmental quality and other elements of public interest. Senator Riley's modest proposal would chiefly help to meet concern for w hat is going on with facts about what is. The people's forum Happy with trains To tho Editor: I just finished reading the article concerning train service in the Cedar Rapids-Marion area and would like to comment. My husband and I in March of 1971 took the train to Elgin, III. It coat approximately $20 round trip and took 2^ hours to get there. Ever since we have been wishing to repeat the experience. We have two children under the age of three and feel there are several advantages to train travel for children: There is more space than a car. You could take the children for a walk when they get restless. Two people can entertain the children instead of just one. Bathroom facilities are available at all times One of the objections to train travel has been cost. Last year in planning a vacation we discovered that train fares are two-thirds the cost of plane fares At that time both trains and planes had family plans. If these figures hold true, families might not find trains us expensive as they thought Although we've never been able to take the train since that time, we are hopefully looking forward to that possibility this summer Janice Joggerst 2905 Twenty-fifth avenue Marion Contradiction To the Editor: After listening to President Nixon s State of the Union speech I could only conclude that reports of his isolation and that he sees and listens only to a couple of his aides must Im* accurate. He said that the economy was good and that there wouldn't be a recession, but two days later facts from the labor department contradicted this. His self-praise statements were of very poor taste considering the problems we are facing today. We are reminded to remember his foreign policy, but I am beginning to doubt if it is that great. In regard to the Vietnam peace agreement, the terms (I have recently learned) were the same that North Vietnam had agreed to several times in the past. One can only assume that for political reasons the war was prolonged, thousands more of our young men were killed or injured and many more innocent civilians were killed by American bombs. The war continues, arid this Mr. Nixon continues to describe as "peace with honor No matter how much Mr. Nixon wishes LETTERS The Gazette s editorial page wet >mes leaden opinions, subject to these jidehnes: ny th limit 400 words ne letter per writer ever/ 30 do/% I mo/ be condensed and edited without changing meaning joe published anon/mootI/ rifer I telephone number (not printed) should ♦allow name, address and readable haridwntten signature to help authenticate talents deal more with issues and events than personalities a poetry it, Watergate isn t going to go away, arid it shouldn't till the whole truth is presented to the American people. As long as he fails to cooperate completely with the justice department, I eau only believe that he has something to hide. It would seem that only through impeachment proceedings will we find out the truth. Mrs M K Louk 4HI Twentieth street SE Answers To the Editor Iii Lillian Bruce's letter Jan. 31. she talked about peace. Men are still dying and towns are still being shelled in Vietnam. The United States is still pouring billions of war materiel into that country. We are supplying Israel with billions in war equipment. The war was over in Germany in 1945. but we still maintain a fighting force there for 29 years. You call that peace? Elaine Smith on Jan 31 wrote about labor's donations to congressmen of $1H9.195; a mere drop in the bucket compared to industry's millions to the Republican campaign fund. But we must remember that is the way these offices are won No honest man alone has enough money to wage a campaign for office in the U S congress unless someone donates money to his campaign Look at all tht* donations to just our state representatives and they are small arid that happens in every state in the union. One must tx* a millionaire to pay for his own campaign, and a poor man cannot be successful in a try for office because money would be his downfall. So he needs donations, and on a national scale the costs are high You have to promise a lot to get a large donation Then you hope the donor will not ask you to keep your promise, because then people say you are a crooked politician. But big business gives beautiful bonuses if you do as they '.av land, homes, ears. trips, all way below cost or free. All labor can give is a promise of a favorable vote by the rank and file Vernon Mrstik 2729 Southland street SVN Another View 'Stef By Louis Harris Tsp Hor rn Survey THE PROPORTION of Americans who feel that the energy shortage in the country is actually "very serious'' slipped from 541 precut down to 34 percent between Novoml>er and January. The constant drumbeat of news about the "energy crisis" apparently left a majority of the public unconvinced that the shortage is real By 53-33 percent, a majority agrees with the statement that "the real trouble in the energy crisis is that the government does not seem to know how serious the shortage will be." The public's rating of the job the President has been doing in "handling the energy shortage" dropped to 74-22 percent negative in early January The public lays much of the responsibility and blame for the energy ruckus on l>oth the* oil industry and the federal government Since last September, the number of Americans who I nit the onus on the oil companies has risen from 74 to 83 percent, while the number who blame the federal government has gone up from 83 to 75 percent. By contrast, the public is less inclined now than before to blame itself for fuel problems in the* U.S. l.ast fall, 54 percent of the American public laid a "major" share of blame for shortages on itself, but by January this had slipped to 44 percent The public is still prepared, however, to make some sacrifices to meet the energy shortage, including having gas stations closed on Sunday, compulsory tar pools, a 50-mile-per hour speed limit, and even rationing, if necessary. But a sizable majority feels that consumption of gasoline is now tieing regulate by allowing the price to rise. That, by 78 18 percent, is viewed to be w rong Back before the energy shortage was viewed as acute, then iii the late fall, and again this past month, national cross-sections of the public were asked Minor Minor None Mire Foreign government* January, '74 48 36 7 9 September, '73 The U S public 18 33 32 17 January, '74 44 38 12 6 September, 73 54 32 6 8 Not Not Her loo* Minor or ob 'ore How ten oti* do you think the energy jhortage i* in this country — - very serious, »omewhat serious, or not serious at all?

Part of the reluctance of the public to acknowledge a serious shortage is a shift in focus as to who is tit blame for such problems. Nationwide cross-sections were asked both last September and again this January: From what you have read or heard, would you jay (read list) has ma|or responsibility tor the energy shortage, minor responsibility, or has no responsibility at all? As the public has tended to point the finger of blame less at its own habits of consumption, "major responsibility for the energy shortage'' has been increasingly attributed to the oil companies, the federal government, and foreign governments Despite all of its doubts about the reality of fuel shortages, the public is still willing to endure personal restrictions to conserve supplies. The crosssection was asked both in January and September ' Several suggestions have been made for ♦he public to cut down on the use of oil, gas, and electricity For each suggestion, tell me if you personally would find it a serious handicap, a minor problem, or not a problem at alP January, 74 September, 73 lf people who live IO mile* or more from work were requited to com mute in car pool January, 74 September, 73 lf counfry went to system of gasoline rationing 56 18 16 IO 43 43 18 35 18 35 January, 74 39 33 26 September, 73 44 29 23 Gas stations closed on Sundays January, 74 IO 31 57 September, '73 Lower speed limit on highways to 50 mph January, '74 September, 73 6 IO 28 64 22 66 Gasoline prices went to 75 cents a gallon to make people use less January, '74 September, 73 Power companies allowed to raise rates, to provide them with in centives to find new energy Not Serious Minor prob 69 19 IO Not sure Motor Minor None sure sources January, 74 The oil companies September, 73 January, '74 83 I I 2 4 All price controls September, 73 74 16 2 8 on gasoline taken The federal government off to allow January, '74 75 17 3 5 natural market September, 73 63 25 3 9 processes 56 27 ll Majorities of the public would not find it a serious inconvenience if car pools for commuting to work were made compulsory, if rationing were instituted, if gas stations are closed on Sunday, and if tilt1 speed limit on highways wert* held to SII miles per hour People are adamantly opposed to the idea of controlling the consumption of gasoline through price hikes. The reason is twofold: First, they feel the approach is inequitable, favoring tin* rich and discriminating against middle and lower income families. Second, after a long inflationary period in which the public has suffered from high prices, price hikes on such a key commodity as gasoline are perceived as (touring salt on an o|>en wound Chicago Tribune New York New* Syndicate Should congress restrict foreign investments in U.S.? By Congressional Quarterly WASHINGTON — The specter of foreign investors — particularly Japanese industrialists or Arab oil sheiks — controlling vital American industries is prompting congress to consider the impact of foreign investments on the strength and security of the U S. economy Concern about the rising tide of foreign investments — underscored in the midst of the energy crisis by the British acquisition of a major American crude-oil supplier (Signal, Oil and Gas Company) — has led sonic members to introduce legislation outlawing foreign control of U.S. corporations Proposing a two-year federal study of such investments. Sen Daniel Inouve (I)-Hawaii) complained in December that "we do not know whether the net effect of foreign direct investment in the United States has been beneficial or detrimental.'' While no immediate clampdown on foreign investors is likely, the paucity of firm statistics on their impact may cause congress at least to call for a thorough study Without such a study, some business men lear, emotional arguments for protecting American industry against foreign takeovers could bring harsh limits on investments from other nations Should congress put limits on foreign investments in U.S. industries? The Arguments YES The Arguments NO "I didn t say prices would taper off I said increases would taper off As REP John ll Dent (D-Pa I, the ** leading congressional advocate of restricting foreign investments, concedes, "there is nothing inherently evil about foreign investment.'' But with such investment mushrooming since 1972, the federal government must come up with a policy to protect American control over inqMirtant American industries At present, then* are few reliable statistics on the extent and impact of foreign investment in the U.S. economy But bv one estimate, foreign investment increased by $2 billion during 1973. far outdistancing such investment during any previous year "What concerns me," Dent explains "is that given domestic market conditions, the international store of dollars ami the recent devaluations, the current wave of investments is only a droit iii the bucket compared to what can be and is expected What is particularly disturbing is the trend toward foreign acquisitions iii key industries such as machinery, transportation, defense and energy — as well as in valuable natural resources, including timber and agricultural lands With those plants and materials in foreign hands, the nation c annot bo sure that in a crisis they eau in* used for the national benefits Arguing for restric tions on foreign investment in defense and energy industries, Hep John E Moss (IM alif > maintains that "the takeover of the control of any such U S corporation bv foreign nationals would not tx* in the national interest of the- United States National security is involved here in the* broadest sense Equally disturbing is the potential harm foreign investments could do to competing I S companies and their workers "A foreign-owned mill here, employing Americans, will be iii direct competition with American-owned mills,'' Rep. Joseph M Gaydos (D-Pa ) points out If the foreign-owned company gets a subsidy from Its government. Gaydos adds, "that company can undersell the American company and eventually force it to close shop While the foreign-owned com (ta ny would hire* Americans, Gaydos concludes, "the slight gain in employment will be more than offset by the massive layoffs of other American workers." Ounce the earliest days of the ^ Republic, the* United States has welcomed foreign investment as a stimulus to development of its economy. Since the 4930s, moreover, tills nation has urged other countries to accord the same welcome to our investments in the interest of an open world economy. "To abandon our traditional hospitality toward foreign investment would make it The Gazette's Opinion Home interests first TO SKK the need for ultimately restricting foreign investment in the United States, one has but to project a further burgeoning of foreign immies invested here — front the* present $14 billion to double fit triple* Hie amount in the next 15 years. Beyond doubt, investment limits are needed, lest the British, Dutch, Japanese, Arabs, Germans, Swiss, Canadians and other large-scale investors end up calling the shots in vital American industries And to discern how foreign investors would greet the clampdown, consider how Americans investing abroad would view a rejection of their bid to impose a vise-grip on someone else's economy. No matter how free wheeling the world trade market becomes, home interests should prevail Thus the question is not whether foreign investment limits should be unposed but rather how strict and in which industries. The* study proposed by Sen. Inouve should bring the country's home-business protection needs into better focus. Meanwhile, Iowa Rep. John Culver's foreign economic policy subcommittee is pondering Iliff immediate results of the accelerating foreign investments here (from $(175 million 19B2-1972 to $2 billion annually now ) in Should the subcommittee judge the investment rush of critical concern, interim legislation will be HH|Uired. Roger Blobaum of the Center for Rural Land Study has suggested a law requiring foreign investors to report all types of agricultural investment, particularly land purchases. That's a good idea, since the agricultural acquisitions of many alien wheeler dealers are practically invisible difficult tit resist restrictions against our nun . . foreign investment,'' William J Casey, the undersecretary of state for economic affairs, maintains And American investments overseas, winch st(K>d at $94-billion at the end of 1972. represent a far more important commitment of wealth than the SI4-billion that foreigners had invested in this country "Even more important," Casey continues, restrictions on foreign investors "would bring Into question the ll. S commitment to the type of open world economy we are trying to achieve through international monetary anti trade negotiations " While foreign investment raises some problems, "un the whole the United States has enjoyed a substantial net benefit," Sidney I. .lories, the assistant secretary of commerce for tvonomic affairs, testifies., "The economy has acquired new capital, new and improved technology, and often new management and products as well "These foreign direct investments have contributed to over-all I S. productivity, production and domestic economic growth and have increased the stream of income and employment iii the U. S economy." Despite Hie furor over foreign investments, Thomas I, Farmer of the Chamber of Commerce of the United Stales argues, "all we have seen are rare instances of foreign economic penetration that have been magnified into a problem of unjustified national concern." if congress overreacts "by enacting unwarranted federal legislation based on a few isolated local or regional fears and concerns," Farmer warns, "we may stem an investment flow which promises lo Im* of great benefit to the economy as a w hole " ( (flite »***l(irwil Quai ter Iv Launch Pad Your hometown is the place where people wonder how you ever got as fur us you have.

Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) span a broad spectrum of clinical entities from limited cellulitis to rapidly progressive necrotizing fasciitis, which may be associated with septic shock or a toxic shock-like syndrome. These infections may be the primary instigators of critical illness requiring hospitalization and management in the intensive care unit. Alternatively, these infections may arise from metastatic spread of microorganisms from a distant focus. Regardless of the source, SSTIs may lead to critical illness. The complex interplay of environment, host, and pathogen are important to consider when evaluating SSTIs and planning therapy. This second of a two-part review focuses on severe SSTIs due to Clostridium spp, microorganisms associated with water sources, and polymicrobial/mixed infections. The key to a successful outcome is early identification of risk factors for specific pathogens and early initiation of empiric antimicrobial therapy. For some SSTIs, surgical intervention for diagnosis and/or therapy is also required.

Who Elected This Guy President?
In case you hadnt already noticed, Dave Barry isnt just a Pulitzer Prize-winning humor columnist. Hes also a shameless self-promoter and gratuitous merchandiser whose online store is packed with all kinds of useless, overpriced crap, including Dave Barry for President T-shirts, hoodies, baby bibs, trucker hats, tote bags, teddy bears, dog clothes, beer steins, and thongs. The worst part: His goofy moppet face is plastered all over the stuff.
And now, Barry is dropping another merch bomb. This Saturday at 3 p.m., Miamis favorite unfunny funnyman will stop by Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden for the purposes of peddling his umpteenth book of babble, Ill Mature When Im Dead: Dave Barrys Amazing Tales of Adulthood. For subnormal losers, an afternoon with Barry and a copy of his newest essay collection costs $40. The elite (AKA Fairchild members), however, pay only $35.

Day 24 - Supertubes?
... a bench to admire the Supertubes, all we saw was relatively piddly waves that wouldn't have looked out of place at Brighton beach. We also found the restaurant, 'In Food', I had earmarked to eat at that evening only to find it was closed for refurbishment. This was not going well! After a cruise along Jeffrey's Bay and restocking our wine supplies, it was now 2.00pm, so we decided to locate our B&B in Aston Bay, just a bit further south. ...
Lions, and Tigers, (and Bears) Oh My!
... These were very big piles including heads and all other body parts. Quite a few of them had rotting flesh still on them. This meant that there were maggots and other bugs all in the piles and really gross oozing stuff. We were picking these up by hand. The smell was something else and I don't think I could ever describe it other than it being ridiculously foul! Once we filled the entire back of the pickup with bones we had to climb on top of them and ride to The Pit...this was ...
Jeffrey's Bay
... horse ride along the beach, two hour gallop across this deserted bay. One of the highlights of the trip so far. Afternoon chilling on the beach, then we headed out to an African Church (which was in Afrikaans) next morning and an afternoon ziplining around some park, walking along the coast and bungee jumping off bridges (didn't have enough money for that last one..) Monday we headed ...
Knysna and Jeffrey's Bay
... souls! �Oh well, its good to try things at least once. �Went to the cinema tonight, it happened to be half-price night so went for the exorbitant price of about $1.50 each. �We saw Ice Age 17 (or whatever number it's up to), and must have been good because Aimee, who was sick, tired & doesn't like movies much, quite enjoyed it! Well done if you got right to the bottom of this, you must really love us! In the next exciting episode: more animals & a national park. Only 3 days to ...
Jeffrey's Bay
We spent the afternoon in Jeffrey's Bay, known world-wide as a great surfing town. The beach was practically empty the day we were there, and we couldn't spend much time on the beach because it was very windy. We weren't too disappointed about missing the beach though, because Jeffrey's Bay is also home to tons of outlet stores for beach and surf clothes. Billabong, Element, and ...

The USA-Honduras World Cup qualifier set for Oct. 10 in Honduras is still set to be played in San Pedro Sula, but continued political upheaval is making it far from a certainty with fewer than two weeks to go.
The acting Honduran government has issued an emergency order allowing authorities to limit constitutional rights such as freedoms of expression, travel and gathering in public. The government closed two television stations on Monday that were considered supporters of ousted president Jose Manuel Zelaya, who has stirred things up in his native country by returning to Honduras after having been exiled.
What does this all mean in soccer terms?
Right now the U.S. Soccer Federation isn't making comment yet, but with less than two weeks to go before the USA-Honduras qualifier,
and with this week's CONCACAF Champions League match between Mexican club Toluca and CD Marathon being suspended , the chances of the qualifier being moved or postponed are growing. (According to CONCACAF, Toluca and Marathon were notified early on Monday evening that Thursday's match WILL be played, and will not be postponed).
With political protests expected to take place this week, if things worsen, and if protests go from peaceful to violent, the unstable situation in the country could make holding a soccer match there unlikely.
As far as the World Cup qualifier goes, as of Monday no decision has been made about moving it and FIFA has stated its preference of holding the match in Honduras. FIFA will make the ultimate decision, with input from the federations and CONCACAF.
What do you think of this development? Starting to think the game won't be played in Honduras? Did you have plans to travel to Honduras? Still hoping the match is moved to the United States?
Share your thoughts below.
Mexico will be playing at azteca that day. But if they want to play in mexico city they could play at cruz azul or pumas. They could also play in chiapas.
Oranje Mike
Would the match have to take place in a CONCACAF nation if moved? Brazil might not be a bad option. If it stays in CONCACAF, what about Canada?
Limiting constitutional rights and closing down tv stations that oppose the current form of govt. sounds like what the Obama administration is trying to do here.
Matt C
spare us the political commentary! I'm sure there's some political blog out there for that sort of thing.
as for the match, which is what we're here to discuss, I'm very concerned. If Honduras can't guarantee safety, the match should be moved. FIFA should intervene and force this issue.
DC Josh
You have to ask yourself, would I feel safe traveling there? If not, then they shouldn't play. The teams safety, both of them, is most important. Who cares about the officials? Not CONCACAF. This will continue to escelate. There is no way it gets better.
Let them play in Azteca.
DJ Barnett
I find it humerous that people only want to talk about a soccer game and not the political aspects of what is going on in Honduras when clearly the soccer game is being directly effected by these same political events. No political uprising=no discussion on whether or not this soccer game is going to happen as scheduled months ago. I am usually one to steer clear of political discussions but in this case the political aspect is the discussion for this match due to it's impact on the match, so far. Because we all know once that whistle blows it better be 3 points for the USA no matter where this game is played or under what circumstances it is played!!!
First they came for the DJs… classic.
@mason "Just a hunch, but the only place you're going to find that conforms with your worldview is below:
Do remember to keep the comments football/soccer related here, though."
"Political climate worsens in Honduras days before USA World Cup qualifier"
How do you know what my "world view" is or isn't ? I asked a simple question directed at one or two readers FROM Honduras, i am going to the match, and want REAL info.
SECONDLY the post discusses the political situation and it's ramifications on the match. Perhaps you should read "soccer against the enemy" by Simon Kuper, and discover that the two are often intertwined. Finally, don't tell me what to "remember" to write about or not. If you don't like it, don't read it and certainly don't leave your snippy assumptive judgement.
Daniel Gleesack
in Honduras… behind closed doors… closed circuit tv only… would be very unique
If the illegitimate government is instilling curfews, etc. to limit protests, the game itself would draw a large, uncontrollable crowd out – and thus be a threat to the government.
I wouldn't be surprised if the fake government wants the game moved, but needs to do it behind the scenes in order to avoid the blame.
Why do some idiots on here (see DeLarge above) seem to think that the powers-that-be are going to move this game to a "site without any inherent advantage for either team?" If the match is moved, why should it be to a "neutral" site? Hopefully, if the match is moved, it will be to a place/setting that gives Honduras some sort of home field advantage. This is, after all, supposed to be a home game for Honduras.
Besides, we US supporters shouldn't be hoping to get any undeserved advantages. This team needs to be tested on the road and show they have the ability/cojones to win/compete in a hostile atmosphere, something they've failed to do so far in this leg of the competition. Let's stop hoping for advantages and instead hope the political climate down there improves so we can see the boys tested in a hostile environment.
notahonduranexpert –
"no offense, but i don't really trust the us congress' report. thanks though" is all I need to know about you and your political views. You're anti-establishment. That's cool, but you have absolutely no reason not to trust that report other than a general distrust of the US Congress. Now, had you said that it's not useful, I would completely understand. That report is a very, very dry legal briefing about the legal situation surround the coup, and would be next to useless for someone who want to know about the situation on the ground. That's not what you said, though. You reflexively stated that you don't trust congress. That, in this case, is foolish, as they commissioned their library to look into the legal justifications for the coup, and viewed from that perspective, it is a very illuminating report.
I'm afraid you don't understand what I mean by, "Don't talk politics". I'm sure you're aware that there is debate as to the legality of the current Honduran Gov't and it's rise to power. Unfortunately, such debate usually devolves into a pointless flame-war with both sides pointing to imperfect translations of the Honduran Constitution. It's best avoided.
>Jamaica anyone?
Last time I checked, neutral meant a site without any inherent advantage for either team. Neither team gets one on Jamaican soil.
Posted by: DeLarge
It the match was held in Jamaica Dempsey would end up so stoned that he'd just lie down face down on the pitch and try the occasional back heel flick whenever the ball rolled his way. Advantage: Honduras
No political uprising=no discussion on whether or not this soccer game is going to happen as scheduled months ago.
Absolutely, DJBarret.
I would only suggest that there is a difference between acknowledging the political nature and discussing the political nature. In other words, it is not necessary to discuss whether it was a coup, or a legal removal of a rogue president, but rather it is sufficient to accept that there is currently political instability and social unrest. Thus, we can avoid the pointless "It was a coup! You're like Chavez! Fascist! Communist!" back and forth. That kind of thing goes nowhere fast.
Pablo Chicago
Did anyone catch the Honduras qualifier in Chicago? Taking the train in I saw more US fans than Honduran fans, and I was hoping for an even split, but realized US fans would be outnumbered once again as soon as we got close to Soldier Field.
I'd say it was an 80/20 Honduras/US fan split and I'm being conservative.
Big advantage to Honduras in terms of fan support and revenue if the match is played in Chicago.
Matt C
DJ Barnett, Trent,
You're missing the point. the smart a#$% remark about Obama was not a meaningful contribution to the conversation, nor was this the right forum for that sort of thing. Of course, talking about Honduras' political situation is the story, and it's fine.
@never first
You woefully misread my comment. Strangely, and more to the point, you added meaning to words that were never in my comment. Sometimes called false equivalence, sometimes called self righteousness, not sure what track you are taking.
Ives post was for all intents and purposes about a game moving or not moving. This is a soccer blog. Hence my commentary was predicated on the basis that I don't care if they MOVE the game or DO NOT MOVE the game, I just want to WATCH THE GAME, wherever it is played. I made no judgment on the political situation in Honduras. Frankly, I do not know enough about it to comment intelligently. I'm just a dolt that likes to act locally and also enjoys watching the nats.
@mason… your assumption that i am "anti-establishment " because i don't trust the congress' report is asinine,(if you believe everything they put out then you are a rube). If you knew what i do for a living, that would be impossible. As for your attempted intellectual treatise……..

Hi gals,
I decided to get a blogspot and join in on the fun of makeup. I have had so much fun reading the blogs. Anyway, I'm 19 and am a Sophomore at UW-Madison. I've always loved makeup but never knew how to apply it. I'm slowly getting better! I'll be sure to post up pics too.
In the meantime, have a nice day!

"We're not there yet," the UK boss said. "But let me just say this: my whole vision of this team is we're going to get it, and it will start this week when we're in our tournament. Let's start down there (in Atlanta).
"Let's do what we're doing 10 minutes in a game -- 12 minutes -- and do it for 40 minutes. Let's all commit to it. And if we do, the light goes on and we like it. Let's do this. It was fun coaching them when they were (making the run)."
It's great that Calipari feels that way, even though some may not buy the lines as genuine, but the important part is this: do the Cats believe it?
But the reason why the Big Blue Nation hasn't completely checked out on hopes of a miracle March turnaround is the 30 minutes the Cats played against the Gators last month at Rupp Arena and the 15-0 run they mounted Saturday to get back in the game, if only for a few fleeting minutes.
Can that UK team show up in the tournament?
Sure. We saw it in 2011 when UK experienced a shaky regular season, but got things together behind the play of Brandon Knight, Josh Harrellson and DeAndre Liggins. Those Cats wound up in Houston for the Final Four. An optimist may even point out that season, like the current one, appeared to be a year when there was no clear-cut favorite to cut down the nets. The title is up for grabs in 2014 in similar fashion.
But can UK win four times in a row against a quality opponent to reach the Final Four?
Unlikely. Kentucky does not have a four-game winning streak against RPI Top 100 teams all season. The closest the Cats came was Nov. 25 to Dec. 6 when a win over Baylor (36) would have added to a streak that included Cleveland State (94), Eastern Michigan (92) and Providence (53), not exactly tournament-type opponents.
The Cats still have a solid RPI, but have slipped to No. 24 in the Pomeroy efficiency rankings, traditionally a strong indicator of tournament success. UK is currently 28th in offensive efficiency and, perhaps more concerning, 41st in defensive efficiency.
By comparison, Florida is No. 3 overall and No. 9 in both offensive and defensive efficiency. One-time bubble team Tennessee has actually moved ahead of UK to No. 13 in the overall rankings, 16th on offense and 28th on defense.
Does anyone think the Vols have an NCAA tourney run in them?
Maybe we're all getting a little ahead of ourselves. (Yeah, yeah. Big Blue Nation getting ahead of itself. Imagine that.)
Perhaps the focus should just be on three good days in Atlanta for now. It's another chance to gel, another chance to improve seeding and build momentum toward what Calipari is hoping to orchestrate.

The Bull's HornMature
Sarie slid her pewter cup of warm wine across the table. Marcus caught it before slipped over the edge of the wooden table, splashing a few drops onto his forearm. He cut his eyes at Sarie, questioning.
"Vile." She grimaced and sat back in her chair, feeling little need for further explanation.
"I thought I told you these country vintages would be a little rougher on a refined palate such as yours." Marcus wiped the rogue drops of wine from his arms and took a long drag from Sarie's cup. He struggled not to make such a face himself.
"I am aware. That won't stop me from trying to find something tolerable in this miserable wilderness." She removed a small journal and a pencil from a cloak pocket. "The Bull's Horn Inn, of Samerton. This is the Awrisian Province, correct?"
"I believe so," Marcus replied, rolling his brown eyes. "You are still writing in that thing?"
"Red wine; indescribably terrible. Black ale; tolerable in comparison to the red wine," she continued, ignoring Marcus and scribbling away.
"You are aware that there should be some positive reviews somewhere in that little book, or people might come to think you simply despise alcoholic beverages in general."
"I am, and I would add such a review, if I could ever find anything in Tel'Aran worth tasting twice." She shot Marcus a disapproving look as she tucked her journal away. "Besides,I have several glowing reviews documented for taverns in the Tradelands. As a matter of fact, I may recommend complete avoidance of this godforsaken land."
"That's a bit harsh." Marcus considered drinking some more of Sarie's wine, then shook his head and looked about. "Boy!"
A young boy of no more than twelve approached cautiously. "Yes, mi'lord?"
"Take this wine away and bring us back a couple more pints of the ale. Some more bread, as well. Do you have any fresh spit roasted chicken?"
"Yes," the boy nodded, taking the cup. Marcus eyed the boy thoughtfully. The boy noticed and hurried off with the cup of wine, spilling a little on the inn's wood shaving covered floor.
"Well?" Sarie asked, her arms folded across her blue thick-stitched vest.
"That's one of them," Marcus sighed. "Hands have been manicured recently, and he's addressing everyone as if they were lords. He's trying too hard to be a peasant, as if all peasants slink and stare at the ground all the time."
Sarie curled her lips. "This is bad business. A bounty on children?"
"Us thieves and mercenaries have to make a living somehow right?" Marcus shrugged.
"The entire underground here stinks of Vau'kir. I can't wait to get back to the middle of the world where we can just rob rich people and kill bandit lords that have overstepped their bounds."
"I'd raise a cheer to honest work if the boy would hurry back with that ale," Marcus complained, looking about. The boy was actually picking up their two pints of ale from the barkeep as he spoke.
The front door of the inn swung open just then. An unsavory looking fellow emerged, being led by an even younger boy. This one was ash blonde, no older than ten, and although he was too far away to tell, Marcus was willing to bet the boy had blue eyes.
"Ban!" The younger boy waved excitedly at their server, who froze with their pints of ale. "I found help!"
The fellow walking with him smiled a wicked smile, baring his yellowed teeth. "Tis your brother here, is it?"
The younger boy nodded eagerly.
"Come along, son. Yer brother's told me a bit about yer plight, I'd be happy to help." He beckoned at the serving boy, who had yet to move. "Come now," he said, his voice rising.
"Many thanks, kind sir," the serving boy stammered. "Shouldn't we wait until morning? Seems to be getting a bit late for any serious travel…"
"Nonsense, 'tis never too late to start a journey home." The boy made no move to join the man, so he strode over to him, set the pints back on the bar, and grabbed the serving boy by his arm. The barkeep protested meekly as the man escorted his server towards the door, but the man put his free hand threateningly on his sheathed sword, silencing the fat man.
As soon as the door closed behind them, Sarie slapped a couple of coins on the oak table and stood. "Seems someone has beat us to them."
"Of course," Marcus complained. "In such a wonderful place as this, who would dare think we were the only ones intending to kill a couple of children for money."
It was Sarie's turn to roll her eyes as the headed toward the door.

SAN DIEGO--The 2001 Explorer Sport Trac is great for those who like to play dirty and stay clean.
Playing dirty, as in hauling muddy mountain bikes or bags of peat moss and wood mulch, and staying clean, meaning keeping the mud and muck out of the passenger compartment.
This segment busting part-truck, part-SUV is what Ford calls an "and" vehicle (everything an SUV is "and" more). Explorer sales have grown from 250,000 in 1991 to 440,000 last year, and the Sport Trac gives them access to another group of buyers. Production at the Louisville, Ky., plant is underway and it should begin showing up in dealer showrooms this month. Prices will start at $23,050 for two-wheel drive and $25,800 for four-wheel drive.
After a short drive in a preproduction vehicle in early December, it was easy to see that Ford has a potential hit on its hands. Powered by a 205-horsepower, 4.0-liter, overhead-cam V6 engine, it delivers a modest amount of power in a smooth, unobtrusive way. The five-speed automatic transmission is a model of civility. (A five-speed manual will be offered later in the year.)
Based on its intended use mostly as a passenger car, the Sport Trac's suspension is tuned so the ride is more supple than a small truck but firmer than a passenger car. Driving through turns on mountain roads, it was more secure and agile than the regular Explorer.
The styling is appealing in an outdoor, camping-gear sort of way that stresses function over fashion. The fact that it is capable of a wide variety of uses appeals to me most.
The Sport Trac had its genesis in the 1996 Adrenalin concept vehicle that appeared at a few auto shows, including the one in Kansas City. Public reaction to that vehicle was so positive that Ford pulled it from the show circuit in hopes that other automakers wouldn't notice the crowds around it and try the same thing.
They were only partially successful because other companies have similar vehicles under development, but Ford can boast that it got the Sport Trac to market first.
The Sport Trac, with a wheelbase of 125.9 inches, is built on an Explorer frame that has been lengthened 14.25 inches. The frame has been stiffened for a better ride, which is now almost as supple as a passenger car.
A composite cargo box, slightly more than 4 feet long, is impervious to rust, and the molded black lining resists scratches and dents from rugged loads. Tie-downs, 10 in all, are provided for securing cargo, and they are strong enough to move a refrigerator, Ford says.
A lockable cargo cover is optional, as is a removable plastic divider that allows the box to be partitioned into two separate areas. Another useful option is a tubular bed extended that folds out onto an open tailgate and extends the bed's length to 6 feet.
Sport Trac can haul a payload of about 1,500 pounds and tow more than 5, 000 pounds.
The cabin is basically the same size as a standard Explorer, and even though the back seat looks smaller, it has as much head, leg and shoulder room as the regular Explorer. The 60/40 rear seat can be folded down to hold large items.
The back window is a power unit, unique in this kind of application.
Ford designed low-back bucket seats to open up the space inside the truck and keep back-seat passengers from feeling isolated.
The instrument panel has light-faced gauges like those in a sport sedan, and a new radio that uses push buttons for tuning rather than a knob, which is more intuitive.
A removable nylon sport bag sits inside the console. Fitted with a strap and side netting, it can be used to carry snacks, CDs, cell phones or even lunch.
A thick rubber covering is used on the floor so it can be cleaned out easily when it gets dirty. It also cuts down on the amount of road noise that filters int the cabin. Berber carpet floor mats lend a civilized feel.
Cloth seats are standard, but leather is optional, and the leather option includes a rear console with separate audio and climate controls, cupholders and two headphone jacks.
A small storage compartment, big enough for a camera, is behind the back seat on the driver's side.
The back seat also has tether anchors for three child safety seats.
Other items of note:
Anti-lock brakes are standard.
A battery saver cuts off all interior lights after 40 minutes to keep from running down the battery.
Noise abatement includes laminated steel in the instrument panel, thick door seals and sound-deadening material in the door and windshield pillars.
The frame is coated with rust-resistant primer, a first for Ford.
Base prices range from $23,050 to $25,800.
Three years or 36,000 miles.
There is no At a Glance box because this was a drive of a preproduction vehicle. We will review a regular production vehicle when one becomes available.

I've got a lot but I haven't added to them in a very long time. I have a collection of milk glass, cardinals, doves, different red glass pieces (I love red and white arranged together in vignettes), hen on the nests, dishes...I love plates and bowls, roosters (don't have near what I use to of those), stoneware and yellow ware (I intend to add to these). I seem to have a lot of candleholders. I have a whole lot of pictures too.
We are getting ready to build a new home...its in the works right now and we are hoping to break ground in the next 2 or 3 weeks....so I have been cleaning and decluttering. I'm going to put a lot of things in a moving sale and only keep the nicer pieces. I don't want to have to move everything.03-23-2011, 12:25 PM #6

I don't actively *try* to collect anything, but judging by the number of books in my bookcase, I collect cookbooks and gardening books.

As an adult, I've collected Fiestaware pieces since we are married. I use them all. None are just for show.
As a child, my grandmother collected porcelain dolls. Like the Franklin Mint type stuff. I have them in the boxes. I have no interest in displaying them, but I am not sure what to do with them.03-23-2011, 02:15 PM #11

I collect the following:
Crock pots - only green ones
cook books - really prefer the pre-1800's
coins - pretty much anything American
kitchen gadgets - anything
bundt pans
cast iron

Entirely too much. Depression glass, watercolor prints of places we've traveled to, cat figurines, glass animals, dolls (from places I've traveled to), doll house minis, silver charms (from places I've been), day lilies, postcards from places we've been, squashed pennies, coffee mugs (from places I've been).... I'm sensing a trend here....
Much of it is in storage. Most of it I don't actively collect, I may add 1-2 pieces a year, usually during a vacation.Come on people now

It was a good quality apartment.
The only thing was that the guy was suspicious about me having a new bank card with me, although I payed the money to wimdu weeks before. In the end he wanted to have 200 zloty (around 50 euro) in the case it wouldn't work with paying. If my friend wouldn't have payed it I would have left in that moment. Well, can be, but doesn't have to be.

Amazing! In the middle of Jewish district, 20 minutes on foot from the center. The apartment was clean and the owner very kind. Five stars!!
All okay, Was nice in Krakow. Nice flat, friendly contact
Very nice host, nice place and good location in jewish centre, near old town.

We just stay one night, and we have only positiv things to tell about this place, thank you.
Best regards from Geir and Aleksandra.
Mariusz picked us up with his car from the train station, very kind. There was a really clean room, a modern bathroom and a kitchen with good equipment. The house is nearby the city, you can reach all attractions by foot. All in all nice choice!
We had a wonderfull stay in this beautiful appertment. We arrived on sabat (saturday) and the owner arranged something so that we were able to use the appertment. It takes +/- 25 minutes walking to the old city (which is really beautiful!). The appertment was very clean and located in a nice neighboorhood.
close to Casimierz Centre, basic conveniences, pity that there is no private bathroom, helpfull hosts.

What does it mean, exactly, when our dogs stare at us? Well, if you happen to be holding a tasty snack, you've got your answer right there. Our conniving canines have learned that getting our attention when we have food usually results in them enjoying a bite or two.
Or your dog could be making eye contact with you because he wants another kind of reward. Maybe it's going for a walk or playing a game of tug. It could be even simpler than that — your pup may just want some basic affection, like a kiss or belly rub.
Veterinarian Dr. Patty Khuly offers even more reasons why a dog might stare: "There's the possibility that a dog is simply seeking attention in any form, or perhaps she's merely waiting for praise or direction. Some dogs may just be trying to read an emotion in our human facial expressions."
More From Vetstreet.com: 6 Foods to NEVER Feed Your Pet
If you have a dog who stares at you often, it might surprise you to learn that eye contact isn't a natural behavior for dogs. In the canine world, prolonged eye contact can actually be considered a challenge or threat. According to trainer Mikkel Becker, many dogs will turn their heads to the side to avoid making eye contact. It's an appeasement gesture that dogs do to defuse potential conflict or a fight.
So why, if dogs usually treat eye contact with their own kind as a threat, do they stare at us humans so much? Becker says it's probably because they've learned it leads to positive rewards like food and affection.
If you want to, you can actually train your dog to make eye contact with you on cue. It's a great way to get his attention, and if people he meets happen to look him in the eye, you'll want him to already be comfortable with it. Just make sure your dog seems to enjoy the eye contact and that it's mutual — and stop the training if he shows any signs of aggression or stress.
More From Vetstreet.com: The World's Oldest Dog Breed Is the...
Puppyhood is the best time to teach behaviors like this, but many adult dogs can also learn it — just be aware that if you're teaching this trick to an older dog, he might already have negative associations with eye contact, which could result in aggression. Talk with your vet if you think this is the case.
Here's Becker's advice for teaching your dog the "look at me" trick:
Start by letting the eye contact happen on its own. Sit on the floor and keep your body still, and when your dog looks up at your eyes, say, "Good" (or deliver a click if you're clicker-training) and give him a treat.
If your dog doesn't naturally make eye contact, hold the treat a few inches away from your face and wait for your dog to look away from the treat and toward your eyes before you give him the treat. You may need to make a kissy or clucking sound or even use his name to get him to look at you. That's OK!
Once your dog understands what he needs to do to get the treat, add a word to the behavior, like, "Look!" If you say the word as your dog moves his eyes to look at you, he'll begin to associate the cue with the behavior. Soon enough, he'll understand that the word "look" means that he should look at your face. Once your dog gets good at this trick, you can extend the amount of time he has to make eye contact with you before he receives the treat.
More From Vetstreet.com: Why Does My Dog Lean on Me?
Becker reminds you to practice this command in lots of situations and settings — your dog may easily respond to "look" when you're in your living room but maybe not so much at a busy dog park. Once your dog is really comfortable with this trick, let other people — friends, neighbors and eventually even strangers — practice it with him. With patience and plenty of rewards, your dog can learn to enjoy making eye contact!

By Donna Freydkin, USA TODAY
NEW YORK Slamming style celebration Fashion Rocks, taped Thursday night at Radio City Music Hall and airing tonight (9 ET/PT) on CBS, marked the official debut of Denise Richards and Richie Sambora as a Hollywood couple.
The actress and the Bon Jovi guitarist posed for photos together on the red carpet. Later, presenter Richards talked fashion onstage with BCBG's Max Azria.
In fact, the kings of the evening were Jersey boys Bon Jovi, who kicked off their set with a relaxed version of Livin' on a Prayer, and capped it off with Who Says You Can't Go Home, from Have a Nice Day. The audience went nuts, with hipster fashionistas dancing their skinny bottoms off.
But the night featured other blends of style and musical substance. Fergie, in a shimmery gold minidress, got the party started with a rousing rendition of her hit London Bridge. In a sexy tribute to Josephine Baker, Beyonce belted out Deja Vu in a banana skirt, and was joined on stage by boyfriend Jay-Z. She shot Jigga a bemused, affectionate look when he started rapping. Nelly Furtado, in black, shimmied her way through Promiscuous and Maneater. Country crooners Tim McGraw and Faith Hill sang their ballad I Need You and never was a tune more prescient. McGraw, holding Hill's hand, wiped out and fell as the two exited the stage.
The key to putting together such a stellar lineup?s Show "curator" Elton John told the audience that all he did was ask and "everyone said yes."

Liaison with Valuation Office Agency and other offices: Procedure for References - introduction
All references to the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) must contain:
- a form SAV VOA1 (available as a Word template)
- a form Cap 37
- all relevant information available regarding the property (e.g. full description, maps and plans) including details of acquisition values and sales and details of any valuations previously provided by the VOA.
Where valuers are satisfied that an opinion of value is necessary, the parties should, unless sufficient information has already been furnished, be asked to
- complete a form Cap 37 and attach a copy of any valuation obtained in respect of the property
- state to whom the VOA should apply to inspect the property
- state with whom the VOA should negotiate.
If the parties persist in a refusal to co-operate, the case should be referred to the Team Leader.
It is important for valuation requests to be made at the earliest opportunity.
Each company must be the subject of a separate reference.
If, however, more than one company is interested in the same property, the references to the VOA should be made together whenever possible. In addition, a suitable cross-referencing note should be made on each SAV VOA1 (whether issued at the same time or otherwise).
Likewise, where similar types of property belonging to different companies have to be valued in connection with transfers by the same taxpayer (whether at the same date or otherwise) it is helpful if the references to the VOA can be made together. Again, whether this is possible or not, a suitable cross-referencing note should be made on each SAV VOA1 - and this applies even though the properties may be situate in the areas of different VOA caseworkers.
The objective in each case is to ensure that a common basis of valuation, if appropriate, is adopted.
The VOA will supply by request valuations on alternative valuation assumptions e.g. where details of a tenancy cannot be fully ascertained. The assumption(s) to be made should be clearly stated, preferably in a separate memo.

Join More Than 1,000 BlogHers who Took the "No Kid Hungry" Pledge with Jimmy Dean
O'Dwyers Magazine, a trade publication for the PR industry, recently noted how many sponsors brought causes and social good initiatives to BlogHer this year. We wanted to share with you the results of one such initiative, and let you know you can still be a part of it.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but sadly, millions of Americans go without it every day. There are more than 17 million children in the United States who are threatened with hunger and food insecurity.
Jimmy Dean has joined the No Kid Hungry® Campaign to make a lasting impact, nourishing the potential of kids everywhere by fighting hunger and promoting the benefits of breakfast. Working in tandem with Share Our Strength, Jimmy Dean is committed to helping end childhood hunger in the United States by 2015.
At BlogHer '11 in San Diego, Jimmy Dean set a goal of gathering 500 pledges from BlogHer attendees and achieved that goal within the first 24 hours! Ultimately, 1,104 attendees took the No Kid Hungry Pledge at the Jimmy Dean booth, which connected over 10,000 children with 10 breakfasts each.That's 100,000 breakfast served!
The best part is that Jimmy Dean is still going! Please visit Jimmy Dean's Facebook page to learn more about the partnership and take the No Kid Hungry pledge.

Why Not?
I once wrote in elementary school. I was praised for my unconventional (at that age) use of verbs. I wrote in middle school and naively shared the story with friends. They told me that it was good and wanted more. Foolishly, I believed them and thought I had talent. I continued to write in High school, consuming stacks and stacks of books and stories. I thought, one day, I might be a writer. I entered college, so full of hopes and dreams, I wrote. Even as I was pressured away from it as a career. I studied rhythm and cadence, using essays as testing grounds and erstwhile laboratories to cobble together turns of phrase that to mine ears at least, seemed... nice.
It was nice. It was fun. But then I worried. I worried the mundane minutiae of everyday life and faced a test that I chose not to take. And I grew complacent. I grew lazy. I ceased to write. I let myself get swept away with time's passage, shelved my old dreams and dreamed other things. I moved on.
Yet, here I am. Writing again.
I often find life to be too busy to put thoughts to words to pen. And yet, in the quiet fastness of my mind, the thoughts and ideas will simmer and boil over and I'll write in fits and starts.
I have no expectations for my writing. They are mostly for me alone. And in that, I find, it's nice. It's fun. And that's why I write.

Coming from Geelong, Victoria, on the Coria Bay where fishing and horse racing are part of the culture, Ryan came stateside to pursue his dream after signing with the Angels in 2004.
Luckily, the Angels already had a few Aussies in the mix and Ryan quickly made friends to introduce him to the cultural differences.
"When I got there I thought I was on another planet," Ryan admitted. "I was fortunate to have a couple of Australians within the organization that helped me out."
Not only was he playing thousands of miles from home, he was also playing a relatively new position.
After a 10-month recovery from a torn labrum, Ryan was just beginning to pitch again but had not regained his velocity. On days when he was not on the mound he would take the field and play first base.
|"The transition to hitting was all a bit weird." – Matt Ryan
"The transition to hitting was all a bit weird," Ryan admitted. "I signed in 2004 after coming off 10 months of shoulder rehab from a torn labrum in my throwing shoulder and I was playing in a national tournament in Australia. I wasn't fully recovered as a pitcher and only pitched five innings through two outings for the tournament – my velocity wasn't back to where it had been before the injury and I didn't think I would sign after the tournament due to the lack of velocity. In my days off from pitching I played first base, and hit nearly .400 for the tournament, and not at any time during the tournament did I even think I would be offered to sign as a first basemen."
But the Angels have always been a bit unconventional and saw something that sparked their interest in him as a position player. They saw an athlete who would excel anywhere on the field and a player who had the dedication it takes to succeed.
Ryan is now playing every day and enjoying every minute of it.
"I really enjoy hitting now; it's just awesome," he said. "I'm hoping that my swing will take me to where I thought id get to as a pitcher!"
In his first pro season the 6-foot-4, 205-pound converted pitcher hit .261 with three homers, 12 doubles and 22 RBI's in 45 games. He was hitting .280 midway through August but tailed off late in the year.
At 19 (he turns 20 on April 4), the left-handed hitter has room to grow. And he is hoping that the projected power numbers follow.
"I'm working hard with my swing and as I grow and learn my swing better I think my production numbers will rise quite a bit," added Ryan. "There's a lot of things I need to work on and I think that the power numbers will come as a result of the things I'm working on at the moment."
Ryan is taking on one difficulty at a time. After overcoming the culture shock of playing in the states, honing his swing is next. If he does it with the same ease as rising atop the pressure playing here he will propel himself up the prospect charts and realize the dream of playing in the major leagues.

Author has written 2 stories for Naruto, and Harvest Moon.
As a fan of many manga, anime, and games, I will be posting a diverse collection of fanfiction such as Naruto, Harvest Moon, Rune Factory, Fruits Basket, Kimi ni Todoke, Skip Beat, Lovely Complex, maybe some Cardcaptor Sakura, Gakuen Alice, and 1/2 Prince fanfiction.
Some of my writing has been posted on other sites, such as deviantART. I will be bringing some of my fanfiction from there to here, so if you think you might have read it before please realize that it is still my work.
Anyways, I do love to write but be warned, I have weird writing habits. I'll sit down and churn out like ten-thousand words in one sitting, then won't touch the story for six months. Recently, I've been getting over that and just churning out the words, but be warned: I will probably update my stories irregularly.
Currently, I'm planning a Harvest Moon Sunshine Islands story that is sure to keep you guessing about who Chelsea is gonna end up with, along with plenty of angst, drama, romance and hopefully some humour.
Not on the topic of writing, I also enjoy music and drawing. My favorite band is Coldplay, followed by the Killers, The Strokes, Julian Casablancas (lead singer of the strokes), The Red Hot Chili Peppers, FTSK, The Fray, Five for Fighting, Under Spinning Lights, and a few more. I also draw fanart, but that's not very important on this site. My deviantart account is .
OH MY GOSH. I just watched a live Coldplay concert on VH1. They were in Tokyo, Japan I think. What a mind blowing show! I want to go see them live more than anything in the world!
"I can hear them calling, like a serenade of sound. No my feet won't touch the ground."
Pure poetry. C:
