Donovan or Dempsey? I'll take Lionel Messi. On team USA I'll take Hope Solo.:)
Landon is the heart and soul of the U.S. team. When he plays well, the teams wins. Clint Dempsey is a good player with a knack for scoring in key situations, but his amazing play for Fulham does not always translate to the USMNT. As a lifelong U.S. fan, I am glad we have more than one player of scoring goals. If we could only short up our defense, we would have a competitive team.
I am a Brit and Fulham season holder so see Clint weekly.He shows 100 % effort every week coupled with high tech skill with lots and lots of goals
Donavan is a good player but needs to play a whole UK season and prove his worth
For me Clint on all fronts
I am english and a life long Everton fan,Donovan all the way,outstanding player,with so much to offer any team he plays in.We want to keep him.
Donovan has been the headliner for the USMNT for a long time and he never fails to disappoint. he is the first to give up and can't lead a team. Great passing skills and vision but like a spoiled kid, he often just doesn't want to perform. Dempsey on the other hand has superior skills in ball handling and tight spaces and, unlike Donovan, has the guts and heart to make the run and finish!
Dempsey is one of the world's top players and goal scorers, Donovan is not either one of those things. The press crowns superstars but your eyes don't deceive you, Dempsey is the real thing!
I can't believe this is even a discussion.. One plies his trade in a mediocre league and is satisfied with silly 'USA Player of the Year' year-in-year-out and is PROVEN NEVER TO HAVE WHAT WAS REQUIRED TO SUCCEED ON HIS LAST TRIPS TO EUROPE.. anotehr is a proven winner and scorer in the world's best league.. AND THERE IS EVEN A DEBATE?? DEMPSEY BY 5 MILES!

The Cincinnati Bengals' choice at backup wasn't much of a brain-teaser for anyone since Josh Johnson had been ahead of the competition all through training camp and preseason. So it wasn't surprising when the Bengals went with Josh Johnson at the backup spot and waived quarterback John Skelton as the team made a series of cuts to get down to the 53-man roster limit by the deadline this weekend.
The two had been competing for the backup spot behind Bengals' starter Andy Dalton. But that never reached the heights of a true quarterback battle since Johnson followed Dalton into each of the last two preseason games, a clear indication that he was ahead in the competition. Johnson strengthened his case with an impressive performance in the Bengals' 27-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts, Thursday night.
That game was also significant for linebacker Emmanuel Lamur, who dislocated his right shoulder against the Colts. He was placed on the Bengals' injured reserve this weekend, ending his season.
Skelton struggled to find his footings with the Bengals this offseason, since he had never run a West Coast offense before. The fourth-year Skelton spent his first three seasons in the NFL with the Arizona Cardinals – who drafted him out of Fordam in the fifth-round of the 2010 NFL draft. The 25-year-old Skelton completed 53.2 percent of his passes for 3,707 yards and 15 touchdowns over 20 career games for the Cardinals.
Skelton's loss in Cincinnati turned out to be Johnson's gain, as it enabled the latter to secure his projected role as the Bengals' backup quarterback this weekend. Johnson will now have a chance to possibly play in relief of Dalton during certain intervals in the Bengals' season opener at Chicago next week, after appearing in just one game for the Browns last season. The fifth-year pro Johnson originally entered the league as a fifth-round pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2008, and remained with the team till 2011.
It is the third straight year that the Bengals are entering the season with just two quarterbacks – this time Dalton and Johnson.
The Bengals also cut CBs Chris Lewis-Harris, Onterio McCalebb and Shaun Prater, WRs Cobi Hamilton, Taveon Rogers and Roy Roundtree, OTs Reid Fragel and Dennis Roland, LBs Bruce Taylor and J.K. Schaffer FB John Conner, TE Bryce Davis, S Tony Dye, RB Daniel Herron, C T.J. Johnson, DE Dontay Moch, DT Terrence Stephen, G John Sullen. Meanwhile, running back Bernard Scott was placed on the PUP list while he recovers from last season's knee surgery. He can become eligible for return for the Bengals in Week 6 if medically cleared for practice around that time.

Hello and praise the Lord my brothers and sisters in Christ. Happy 4th of July! I pray that God has blessed each and everyone of you with a wonderful holiday!
Father God
We come together once again to thank You for all the blessings you have bestowed on us as a people and a nation. Please continue to watch over America and it's people and to lead the people in prayer and worship of You through Your Son, Jesus Name.
In His Name
This week's verve comes from 2 2 Chronicles 7:14:
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
This word was given to the people of Israel by God but it goes for us here today in America. This great country was started by people who wanted the freedom to serve God and our forefathers based their laws on the laws from God. And this country has gone through many trials and tribulations but God has always watched over America.
But now we see that God is no longer welcome here in America. We can no longer pray in public now. Our children can't pray in school. We have more respect for other religions than we do for the God who has watched over and protected this country since it's birth. We throw our sins in His face and we do things that He has specifically told has not to do. God is no longer respected or loved by the people of America. But we wonder why America is going through such a rough time now! Wall Street collapsing, people losing jobs all across the land. Fighting battles all over the world and making enemies of countries we once called friends. Natural disasters in places where we never had such disasters. And I could go on and on, but we as Christians understand why this is happening and we stand in the gap for our country in prayer. But God wants the country the call on Him. He wants us to repent of our sins and acknowledge that He is God and that He is All Mighty and that we NEED Him! Badly!
And when we do that, He promises us that He will hear from heaven and hear us! And you know what? That goes for us as individuals. That promise goes for us too! When we give up our sins and ask God to forgive up, He will hear from heaven and help us according to His Prefect Will!
So please remember this word my friends. Keep it close to your heart and trust in His promise! And keep our loving country, America and your daily prayers. We really need it.
In Jesus Name
Hello and praise the Lord friends and welcome to the memory verse for the week. Thank you all for stopping by.
Father God
Thank You for allowing us to go through the past week to meet here once again to share Your Word. Bless him that shares this lesson and bless those who read this. We thank You and Praise You
In Jesus Name
This week's word come to us for John 16:33:
"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
I thank God for reminding me of this promise from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The one thing that jumps right out to me is that Jesus tells us that we shall have tribulation in this life. We were never promise a trouble free life. We are going to have troubles and hurt and pain and disappointments in life, but no matter what we are going through, Jesus has overcome it at the cross! There is nothing that we are going through that He cannot take care of it for us. I know that whatever I am going through in life is only for a season. I know that once I am called home, I will forget all about it when I see all that Jesus has in store for me in Heaven. He has overcome so I don't have to worry about what is going on in my life. We have to just remember, No matter what we are going through, you can and will overcome it through Jesus Christ!
In Jesus Name
Hello and Praise the Lord my friends. I would like to welcome you back to the Memory verse of the week. I know it has been a while since we last got together here to share God's Word and for that I apologize. But now we are here again and I Pray that all are blessed by the word that God has given me to share.
Father God
I thank You for being back here with Your children and my friends. I thank You for all that You have done for me and I thank You for what you are going to do for me and all who read this lesson. Use me to Your Glory Lord, I pray
In Jesus Name
This week's verse is from John 14:1
"Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me."
This verse has been very helpful to me in the past couple of weeks as I have been going through some ups and downs in my life. As a child of God, I believe that He has is who He says He is and that He will do what He says He will do. And in the same vein, I also believe in His Son, Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And if I believe in Him I should also trust in His promises to me that He has given to me through His Word. When I was going through the rough times, for a moment there, I forgot what I have been told in the Word. How God is always with me, no matter what I am going through. That I have the Holy Spirit living and working in me. That I can always come to Him when I am lost and need help. If I say that I trust and believe in God the Father, then I also must believe in God the Son! And if I believe in the Son, then I must believe in His Word because He is the Word! John 1:1-2 tells us "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God." That verse is talking about Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Word and we have the Word with us everyday and if we stay in the Word, when we go through the trials the troubles in life, we can always go to the Word and by doing that, we are going to Jesus.
I am thankful for the rough times, because they show us who we need to always depend on when those time come. I will be truthful and tell you that I tried to fix the problems myself and I fail miserably! But when I remembered that I believed in God and that i believed in Jesus and his Word and even though I am still going through it, I now am confident because I know that Jesus got my back!
Believe in Him who is with God and who is God and who was sent by God to be a Savior and a Comfort to us all!
In Jesus Name
Thank you
I want to thank everyone for all of your prayers and support! They have really helped me through a rough patch and I am thankful for friends like you in my life! Things are still a little bumpy here, but I am dealing with them better, Thank God. I know that I am not alone in this struggle and that God is with me all the way! And my Spark Family are with me also!
Once again, Thank you so much and may God continue to bless each and everyone of you!
In Jesus Name
Hello SP Family
I am just sitting here at 2:30am in the morning and I am thanking God for all that is going on in my life and in the life of my family. I am not totally happy with the state of my family right now. Things are going wrong in many areas right now. But I have come to the point where I have to let go and let God do His perfect will in my family's life. I have to let Him work in my oldest daughter's life and stop worrying about how she is living her life. I have to believe that He will take care of my youngest daughter as she gets ready for college this fall. I am trusting in Him that He will build up the relationship between my wife and myself.
There are many things going on in my life and it is time that I stop trying to do God's job. I am weak and powerless to make the changes that I want in my family's life. I am going to have rely on the awesome power of God to do what He wants to be done! So this is a notice to myself : let go and let God!
I want to thank each and everyone of you who prayed for me and my family. I read every comment and I want you to know that I felt the love from each one. I have missed you all and it is time for me to come back and be with my Spark Family! I am not ok with everything yet, but I know that with God, I am more than OK. I am truly blessed!
Thank you for letting me vent. I feel better now
In Jesus Name

Look Who Suprised Florida Georgia Line onstage when they left GB!
After rockin' the rafters of the Resch Center last week with Y100 it was off to Country Radio Seminar Week in Nashville and, the 'New Faces Show' , the Grand Finale to the week of artist interaction with Country Radio. Florida Georgia Line was the main attraction at this year's show as they wrapped up the night with a record breaking debut number 1 song from a new Country Duo. First time that's happed since 1991 with Brooks and Dunn arriving on the scene with "Brand New Man." To celebrate Florida-Georgia Line's success, a surprise Superstar labelmate joined them on stage to help singing , "Cruise." Can you see who it is?


text: Erin Smith says "It started when he was about six months old, he just stopped gaining weight."Smith says she and her husband went on a whirlwind of doctors visits and tests for young Kenny over the next few months trying to figure out what was wrong."About a year later he was diagnosed with Crohn's disease," says Smith.Crohn's disease is a condition that causes inflammation, or swelling, and irritation of any part of the digestive tract, in most cases, the small intestine.The most common symptoms of Crohn's disease are abdominal pain, often in the lower right area, and diarrhea. Patients may also experience weight loss and fever.While you will definitely find Kenny running and playing now, Erin remembers a much different scene where she said her little boy just seemed to be fading away.Erin Smith says "He had a complete lack of energy, no appetite, spent hours in the bathroom, he had a temperature of 103 degrees for weeks."So doctors recommended surgery.Erin Smith says "Since the surgery he's been in remission, so at this point he's actually Crohn's free."Greg Smith says "We live in the fear everyday that it's going to come back and hard to talk about it, emotional for me."That's why Greg is leading the charge for this year's Crohn's and Colitis walk not only for his son, but also for people like UTC student Jerica Davis. Jerica Davis says "First of all, I was really scared anything that's called a disease I was like what does that mean, I didn't know anything about it." Nurse practitioner Rebekah Corey says while Kenny's case was unusual to be diagnosed so early, this is a condition that mainly strikes young people between the ages of 15 and 30. Rebekah Corey, Nurse Practitioner says "It is a disease of young people. We see the biggest spike in high school and college age kids."That's why Jerica and Kenny's family will be out hoping to not only raise money for research to find a cure, but also to raise awareness about the disease.

A couple walked into the supermarket. They looked confused, so a clerk walked up to them and asked them what they wanted.
The couple asked for a couple of lottery tickets. He gave the tickets to them, and they paid for them.
The husband looked confused again. He asked the clerk, What the hell do I do with these damn things?
The clerk replied, Well, you're supposed to scratch the box and see if you've won anything.
The wife looked disgusted. Oh please, she muttered.
What? asked the clerk. Oh nothing, she answered, it's just that, well, he's been scratching down there for years, and he ain't won a damn thing.

A recent glitch in H&R Blocks system has affected more than 600,000 tax returns. One Moorhead woman has been waiting over a month for money she and her family depend on.
The commercials say, "I'm a tax professional, we know and understand tax laws, tax theory's." H&R Block has advertised its tax professionals non-stop this tax season, but after some used their offices and online services, the company found there was a problem with one of their forms. That delayed thousands of people from getting their money.
"It states 100 percent satisfaction guaranteed, and I'm like yea no it's not 100 percent, I'm not happy." Jenny Glende says. She has a husband, three kids, and a job, but she still made sure to keep an eye on her taxes. After checking the IRS web page numerous times she says she noticed their returns weren't coming.
"We never got an email never got a letter." Jenny says. And it wasn't until she did her own research that she realized their money wouldn't come as soon as the 'tax professionals' said.
"Nobody told us what was going on." So she turned to the company's Facebook page, and after complaining on a few times they started to delete her comments.
"Like I posted on there and all of a sudden I realized they had blocked me." Jenny exclaims. She was surprised the company would go so far to get some negative comments off, but her posts aren't the only ones they've been deleting. Other comments that follow the company's posting policy still were deleted, it wasn't until Friday March 15th that a post from the CEO apologized to their 'valued clients'. But to people like Jenny it's the way the company handled it which still upsets her.
"This makes me feel better but this should have been done weeks ago, I mean as soon as they knew there was a problem, it should have been on there like hey you know what, hey this is what happened its our fault and just owning up to it is like a huge thing, you know. Like hey we made a mistake we're sorry." She says.
To her it's a late apology just like her late return. If you want to read the full message from CEO Bill Cobb Click Here.

I mean, we here at tuneage think it's unlikely that any of our readers haven't seen heartthrob Ryan Gosling's new film, Drive. It is a work of cinematographic genius. And the soundtrack? Pure perfection. It stands alone but once you see the movie - every song is perfectly linked, if not intertwined, within the film's plot.
Now, many would argue that "A Real Hero" by College is the breakout hit of the compilation and they aren't necessarily wrong. But Desire's Under Your Spell has a special place in my heart. Admittedly, both songs fantastically use a mix of 80s synth and modern indie with simple, repetitive lyrics.

ACDD is organized with 3 branches: Acquisition Education and Training (AET) Branch; Policy and Proponency (P&P) Branch; and Program Execution (PE) Branch.
Welcome to the US Army Acquisition Support Center (USAASC) Acquisition Career Development Division (ACDD). Our primary purpose in ACDD is to serve as the Army acquisition workforce advocate in compliance with the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act, with regard to specific acquisition workforce initiatives, and in support of the 14 acquisition career fields (ACFs) the Army supports. Overall, our main goal is to grow and enhance the capability of the Army acquisition workforce through human capital strategic planning.
ACDD is a high performing division identifying acquisition workforce trends and challenges proactively to serve our stakeholders, partners and customers with metrics-driven analytics, ultimately to aid sound decision-making.

Acquisition Education and Training (AET) Branch:
The AE&TB manages the education and training of the Acquisition workforce. We are dedicated to a well-educated, well-trained Acquisition, Logistics and Technology (AL&T) workforce and our training endeavors are crucial to supporting the Army's current transformation, as well as to sustaining and improving current weapon systems critical in the support of our Soldiers. To guarantee future leaders acquire a broad knowledge base, there must be a balance between a quality education, leadership training and career broadening opportunities that will enhance the technical and functional competency and leadership skills obtained through a specific career program. The Acquisition Education, Training, and Experience (AETE) catalog outlines those opportunities that will assist the AL&T not only in meeting their position certification requirement, but also develop their leadership skills through training, developmental opportunities and advanced educational opportunities.

Many studies have decided that heavy drinking while pregnant has been linked to several types of birth defects, but a new study finds that even small amounts of alcohol early in pregnancy can lead to trouble for that child.
Researchers analyzed data from thousands of women who filled out a survey of their drinking habits while pregnant. Then, they measured the mental health in over 9,000 children from all those moms. They found drinking less than one alcoholic beverage a week during the first three months of pregnancy was still linked to significant development delays.
More studies are underway.

Representatives from across the building industry, including code officials, building owners, manufacturers, designers and energy efficiency advocates, have come together under the leadership of the National Institute of Building Sciences to develop a new approach to meeting energy efficiency requirements. This "Outcome-based Pathway," which the group submitted as a proposed code change to the International Green Construction Code (IgCC), appears in the monograph of IgCC proposed changes that the International Code Council released this past Friday, March 15, for public review.
The Institute's Consultative Council highlighted the "Outcome-Based Pathway" in its 2010 Moving Forward Report submitted to the President of the United States. The approach focuses specifically on the actual energy used in the building. The report notes:
The building community needs a better baseline of actual building performance against which to measure progress. More importantly, the application and use of prescriptive criteria must be eliminated in favor of stated performance goals or expected outcomes (although, after setting those goals or outcomes, prescriptive guidance to achieve them can be developed).1
The industry group specifically focused on an outcome-based approach to address a number of challenges facing the building industry:
- Code departments have limited resources available to enforce building codes (particularly energy codes, which are not usually seen as a life safety issue).
- Energy use is highly measurable, yet current code pathways anticipate results from designs; they do not assess actual building performance.
- Designers do not have the flexibility to use some of the latest technologies or practices to achieve energy efficiency requirements.
- Not all energy-saving strategies, such as building orientation, are effectively captured in codes.
- Energy efficiency goals increasingly rely on reductions in energy use at the systems level, but the IECC has primarily focused on a component approach.
- A growing percentage of energy uses associated with buildings are not currently covered within the existing code framework (i.e., plug loads).
The proposed code change will be heard by the IgCC Energy/Water Committee during the International Code Council's Committee Action Hearings, to be held this April 27 through May 4, in Memphis, Tennessee.
In addition to the Institute, a number of organizations, including the New Buildings Institute, The Institute for Market Transformation and the Colorado Chapter of the International Code Council, support the proposal.
View the proposal, a section-by-section summary and reasoning statement. For questions, or to provide additional organizational support for the proposal, contact Ryan Colker.

Do Not Trust Humans, Trust Machines
Ankit is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
MAKO Surgical (NASDAQ: MAKO) is a medical device company that provides a robotic technology platform (RIO) and orthopedic implants that enable minimally invasive MAKOplasty procedures for partial knee replacements and total hip replacements. This stock has seen a huge downfall of ~54% in the span of 4 months. Two events attributed to this giant fall (Click here to know about these events). The following graph shows the stock price movement over the last 6 months:
Now, the question arises about where the stock will go from here. Will the stock be able to recover its position? or Will it continue to decline? According to me, the damage has been overdone and I expect the stock to move sustainably higher from current levels given:
- Management's now lower 2012 outlook at the pertinent level.
- MAKO's hip application is on track.
- MAKO is expanding into new orthopedic segments like total knee replacements, shoulders, extremities.
I believe the expansion into new segments will enhance MAKO's value proposition to hospitals as a true-platform technology.
Robots to Replace Humans
A major part of MAKO's success attributes to thee RIO system as it has been driving volume to centers because patients perceive robotic surgery to be more advanced than manual surgery. I believe the RIO system will continue to be enticing due to its ability to make the procedure more reproducible and accurate for surgeons. Going forward, I expect increasing patient awareness/demand for robotics technologies and physicians desire to attract these patients to their institutions to continue to support MAKO's ability to place systems for the foreseeable future.
Uptake of Hip Application to be Increased
MAKO's initial hip implants only cover a minor portion of the market (~30%) on top of unfavorable technical and software issues. That's why the uptake of hip application has been slower than expected. Looking forward, MAKO is launching two new hip implants which will allow it to address a major portion of total hip procedures. Thus, I am optimistic that the uptake of hip applications will be in-line with, if not above, the Street's expectations after the launch.
Market Share Gain in Partial Knee Replacement
MAKO has been captured ~12% of the partial knee replacement market since the introduction of the RIO system. Partial knee replacement procedures are more challenging procedures for a surgeon compared to total knee replacement procedures, and MAKO's system allows more surgeons to perform these more difficult operations. Therefore, I believe that MAKO will continue to gain share in the partial knee market.
Unique Position with Advanced Technology
The company has several competitors include Biomet and Zimmer (NYSE: ZMH). Biomet specializes in reconstructive products for hips, knees and shoulders and fixation devices and Zimmer is also highly concentrated in Hip and Knee market (~70% of sales). Both these companies have recently launched new products, and many would say there is a risk that these established ortho giants could recapture share with relatively simpler and cheaper tools. I just suggest to pick up the phone and call any of the doctors who have even once used RIO. I promise you will not hear one say they would go back to doing it the old fashion way. I believe that patient investors will be extremely rewarded in the long run especially at the current levels. The following table summarizes the expected EPS growth of MAKO and Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG):
Intuitive Surgical designs and builds the da Vinci Surgical System, the breakthrough platform for robotically assisted minimally invasive surgery. It could be easily interpreted from the table that both these robotics based medical companies have impressive expected EPS growth on an absolute basis. Therefore, I am optimistic about the strong long term growth prospects of both the companies.
I believe MAKO has created a unique platform that will see enhanced utilization in the coming years after bypassing the hurdles that always affect new technologies. For example; new potential hospital purchasers are looking for additional data points to support the investment, realizable short-term economic benefit, including additional surgeon buy-in, and compelling clinical value. I am optimistic that these hurdles will be tackled in a smooth manner. Therefore, I suggest investors to use the current weakness in share price to build a position.

April WilknerPosted in Pics on June 29th, 2010 by Jody
April Wilkner is best known for being a contestant on season two of America's Next Top Model. She is half-Japanese and half-Caucasian (a mix of German, Welsh, Scottish, and Irish).
In my estimation she may be the greatest ANTM contestant of all time. She was a total package of talent and beauty. She won more judge's challenges than anyone else that season, and she looked good doing it. She should have won that season but she was eliminated from the show for being too analytical. Heaven forbid a model might actually think!
Since then, she has worked as a professional model and actress, most recently appearing on the TV show Royal Pains.
Check out her website, her Facebook, her MySpace, and her IMDB entry. Also check out this gallery on All ANTM, this summary on ANTM411, this interview on Amped Asia and this writeup on BuddyTV.

With cheerful hearts we join in celebrations
in our simple, quiet upstate town
and Main Streets' decorations look so pretty
laced with the snowflakes that are falling down
We'll take a ride to look at all the houses
that delight us with their bright displays
and when we go downtown to do some shopping
we hum to carols that the speakers play
On Christmas Eve we gather with our neighbors
with our families and beloved friends
and happily as we are joined together
our hearts fill with the joy this season sends
As we are sharing goodies and our laughter
Christmas songs play on the radio*
These simple celebrations are a treasure
that I have been so blessed to come to know
*One tradition that I love in the small upstate
New York town I live in is that our local radio station
plays Christmas music from Christmas Eve through
Christmas Day and always seems to be a part of our
gatherings. They play music on Main Street throughout
the year but the Christmas tunes are always the loveliest!
Inspired by Carolyn Devonshires' Christmas in Your Town contest
