OK, so, hang with us here. Me and E hastily threw together a podcast last night, and well, there’s more than a few glitches. My mic messes up a few times (especially during the stripe out part), the editing is incredibly amateurish and I say “you know” about 2349234213123 times.
But hey, we’re throwing it out there for the masses anyways. We plan on continuing these and they promise to get better. In the inaugural edition, we touch on all things Kentucky: Eric Gordon and whether he should suit up or not, the IU-UK rivalry and what the student section and fans will be wearing to the game. Let us know what sucks so we can make it better next time.
You can get at it right here. (Next time we’ll hopefully get it in a nice little player on the front page here like this. Baby steps, friends.)

This poll closed on Monday and I had every intention of posting an update with the results before a certain coaching change distracted me. Anyway this shouldn't come as a huge surprise seeing the huge lead he had going into the final day of polling, but Claudio Reyna has won the inaugural New York Red Bulls Least Valuable Player award. Congrats, Captain America!Reyna took 81 of 203, or nearly 40% of all votes cast. Markus Schopp was a distant second, taking 37 votes, which corresponds to 18.2% according to my math, which is probably wrong so take it with a grain of salt. Chris Leitch (28 votes, or 13.8%), Kevin Goldwaith (27, or 13.3%) and Ronald Waterreus (23, or 11.33%) followed in close succession. Santino Quaranta's 12 votes corresponded to about 5%. Hunter Freeman (3 votes), Jon Conway (2), Dane Richards and Seth Stammler (1 each) and the elusive "Other" (9 votes) completed the ballot.
Singapore Airlines undertook an inaugural
flight on October 25th of their A380, surpassing the 747 as the
largest commercial aircraft ever built. The first flight was from
Singapore to Sydney, Australia, and seats were auctioned for charity.
Seats were sold for as high as $100,000. Think about that for a moment.. For
tickets in first class, perks include your own room with a full-sized
bed, complete with designer sheets, turn-down service, crystal, and
other amenities.Regular first class tickets will be $22,000 for those
interested in the utmost in first class international flights.
Like many soccer fanatics, Soccer Source is painfully clueless when it comes to the college game. With all the pro leagues to pay attention to, there simply isn't much time left for sleeping and eating and working a day job, much less following an entirely different niche of the sport. Yet many of these players will be drafted into MLS next year, and some have already featured on various youth national teams. What's more, the college season is entering its most crucial period (conference playoffs followed by the NCAA tournament) right now. What's a soccer blogger to do to get caught up? Easy. Interview somebody who knows a thing or two about the subject! My search for experts led me to Bonji, a Denver-based blogger who runs From College to the Pros, which focuses on young U.S. players and pays close attention to the NCAA. For anybody interested in up-and-coming soccer talent, particularly U.S. talent, From College to the Pros is a terrific resource. Bonji started following college s
Last Friday, we engaged in a public debate with one another about who can use the “n-word.” Held on the campus of North Central College, we spent an hour and a half pushing each other to consider the nuances of the debate, while some of the 130 audience members in attendance asked questions that further probed the difficulties of this contemporary issue.TWIR readers will recall that we have blogged on related topics a number of times in the past year. On March 2, we addressed New York City’s banning of the word. Then, on July 14, we addressed how the “ban-the-word” trend had been gaining more momentum. But our discussion Friday centered not on whether the word should be banned, but rather assuming that the word is to be used, who should be able to use it and under what circum
Como se había previsto, hoy se ha producido el primer vuelo comercial de un Airbus A380, El cual fue un vuelo de Singapore Airlines entre Singapur y Sydney.
Para mi punto de vista, aunque siempre vuelo en Boeing, la verdad es que prefiero 100 veces los Airbus, Boeing es como un Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge cuerudo, pero Airbus es como un BMW, Mercedes Benz, Audi, tiene muchos detallitos tecnológicos y de lujo, que los gringos no toman en cuenta. Y como a nosotros no nos gustan los aparatitos tecnológicos, pues obvio nos derrite… Solo he tenido la oportunidad de viajar en el A340, A320 y A319. Boeing todos menos el 747. Con eso me basto para darme cuenta de eso. Ahora deseo volar en esta hermosura de dos pisos. Por cierto los españoles hicieron la Colita, que sirve para estabilidad y control, los mandos fue por parte de los franceses, turbinas son inglesas, Fuselaje es Alemán.

Did David Beckham cause this? Major League Soccer's average attendance going into the final weekend is at its highest level since 1996, the league's very first season, according to pitchinvasion.net. Pitch Invasion thanks Andy_B at Bigsoccer for the raw numbers, so I figure I will too. Thanks Andy B at Bigsoccer!In '96, average attendance was 17,306. This year it's 16,627, with 96.4% of games played. Expect sellouts at Toronto and L.A. to pad that number this weekend. It's only the second time average attendance has broken the 16,000 barrier (the last time being '96, when the league averaged 17,306 fans per game). The last time average attendance came this close to 16K was in '02, when it was 15,653. The worst average attendance year for the league? That would have been 2000, which incidentally was the New York franchise's best year on the field.Another very interesting tidbit supplied by Andy and pitchinvasion is the percentage of games that had fewer than 10,000 spectators.

Earlier today Tiger Woods became the first winner of the FedEx Cup with a personal best 23 under par tournament at the Tour Championship. He was at his absolute best during the event beating Zach Johnson Mark Calcavecchia by a massive 8 strokes. This was Tigers 61st win on the tour and needs only one more win to catch the great Arnold Palmer. Tiger adds the 10 million from the FedEx Cup to his retirement fund and takes home another 1.2 million just for winning the tournament. The dominant win means that questions about just how good Tiger Woods is will continued to be asked and the answer just might be...the greatest ever!Leaderboard - Top 10 The Tour Championship 1 Tiger Woods USA -23 257 64 63 64 66 2 Mark Calcavecchia USA -15 265 65 66 63 71 2 Zach Johnson USA -15 265 71 66 60 68 4 Sergio Garcia ESP -14 266 68 64 64 70 5 Scott Verplank USA -11 269 66 68 67 68 5 Hunter Mahan USA -11 269 65 68 65 71 7 Vijay Singh FIJ -10 270 68 68 65 69 7 Tim

And according to her official website (which went up this week), the album won't be dropping in September. The album will now drop in October. Her official website reads: "Stay Tuned.

Welcome to the July 16, 2007 edition of Colorado Politics.
Turnout for this carnival was not what I’d hoped, which is probably my fault for not yet having constructed an official carnival homepage. And because of this limited turnout– which was low but non-zero– I’ve decided to co-opt some exemplary posts from around the web.
The carnival is open to any Colorado Blogger writing politics, or to any other blogger writing about politics in Colorado or about its national Senators and Representatives.

A Nintendo short-film depicting Wii at the center of a cosmic battle between benevolent and malevolent forces earned top honors at the inaugural Nintendo Short Cuts Showcase.
The winner, New York-based filmmaker Jack Paccione Jr., gets $10,000 in cash to put towards his next film, a Wii system, a Nintendo DS Lite, Nintendo games and a “power lunch” with Tribeca Film Festival co-founder Craig Hatkoff.
His flim, called Good vs Wiivil, will also get an exclusive screening, along with the second and third-place winners as part of the Tribeca Drive-In Short Film Series at Top of the Rock, at the Observation Deck at Rockefeller Center.
The open-call competition invited aspiring filmmakers to flex their creative skills by creating a three-to-five-minute Nintendo-themed video or film. New York-based filmmaker Jack Paccione Jr. wowed festival judges with his short featuring a hapless ice cream shop worker whose actions are controlled by dueling Wii Remotes.

I am blessed and cursed at the same time when it comes to my love of wine; blessed because I had a golden opportunity to learn more about it, become knowledgeable and informed and be able to now hold my own when it comes to a bottle, a wine store or a question regarding wine, but at the same time, I feel cursed because I don’t have anyone to regularly share my good finds with, or be able to wax philosophic with over the merits of a good Torrontes. Mike is not a wine drinker, and although I can tell him endlessly what I love about a bottle I am drinking, it’s better when the recipient of such information can appreciate it in the same way that I am.

The eternal Cricket World Cup (all 7 weeks of it) comes to an end tomorrow when Australia take on Sri Lanka, drawing the curtain on what must be the longest tournament in sports history. Cricket, once called "Baseball on tranquilizers" by Robin Williams, has done little to change its image in the last 7 weeks (can anyone name the two teams who played in the first match?).But before the curtain draws, we have one more game, one more chance to rescue a tournament drowning in mediocrity. Australia, who have steam-rollered all before them, take on Sri Lanka, who, out of the only eight teams who can really claim to be a cricket nation, have looked most likely to upset the canary yellow juggernaut.Much depends on the toss of a coin, and with the Barbados pitch known to favour seam bowling, Australia appear to have the upper hand (if they didn't already), especially if they bowl first in seamer friendly conditions. This is however doing a disservice to Chaminda Vaas, one of the canniest and

Hello there! I know that there is no one reading this yet, but I figured I should have something written. I’m starting up this blog with the hopes of tracking my running and training for a marathon. I’d eventually love to have a whole bit of the site where I could show graphs of my progress and schedules for runs, etc. Right now, however, it is a simple blog with a template design, and not much going on. I’m running this on Wordpress, which I have no experience with, so as I learn more, hopefully this will get more interesting. I also feel the need to tell you that I will be taking a month-long hiatus from running starting May 1, and probably lasting through the end of May… this is because I have a surgery scheduled that will preclude me from running for a while. It is part of my on-going transformation from a morbidly obese individual to a slim, althletic runner. Luckily, I’m almost there! Hopefully, this will be the last disruption to my life as far as

This has been a really exciting week. Everyone in the CNET Networks building is excited about our forthcoming office move (more on this in the next post) but my week has been, for me anyway, much more interesting.
Two main things have happened for me this week. Firstly, I shot my debut ‘First Look’ video. Everyone in the team shoots one a week and each video focuses on whatever each of us considers to be the hottest product of that week. They’re a minute or so long and are a pretty easy-going overview, but by no means a review.
Screen debuts are more fun than really, really fun stuff
So anyway, I was really keen to make my first video awesome. I originally won my place on the Backstage Crew at CES by shooting my own parody of CNET’s First Look videos in my bedroom. It took me all day to set up a studio environment but I feel that it’s more than paid for itself! I also shot one on the CNET stage at CES in Las Vegas earlier this year as part of my win. I rec
Wonderful Colleen from In the Garden Online has finally filled the obvious void in the blogosphere by offering awards that recognise the gardening niche we're all a part of.
I, like many bloggers noticed the absence of our favourite hobby (more popular than craft BTW - what's going on?) at the recent Bloggies. So, if you can't join them, beat 'em I say.
So Colleen has produced the very impressive garden blog (and website) awards called the Mouse and Trowel Awards. Bloggers can vote for their peers in 8 categories for blogs and 5 for gardening websites with the winners to be announced on Sunday May 13.
You have until Monday 15 April to get your nominations in but don't wait otherwise you may get caught up in the stampede. I'm so excited that this is finally happening and look forward to seeing the results.
Kudos Colleen.
