Barnsley 0-0 Chelsea
He still manages to get in a shot which Cudicini does well to block with his legs. This is good stuff from Barnsley. 43 min: A really strange match, this. Long periods of absolutely bugger all to report, then the odd burst of hectic activity. Of which this isn't one. Still, it's better than Middlesbrough v Sheffield United. Chewing tin foil while being shot in the face would be better than Middlesbrough v Sheffield United. Here, in the absence of fun, allow us to SEXX YA UP. "Short shorts are essential apparel for 2008," pants Russell Child. "Gone are the days of Peter Beardsley, Kevin Keegan and Joe Jordan. Football players are much more attractive now. Let Fernando Torres and Ronaldo lead the way." Not everyone, however, is in the mood to see football's sexface. "Can you please stop eroticising Joe Cole," pleads Julian Menz.
From the Editor :
He was eyeing off one of the chicks and asked me whether he should give her his number or email. I suggested email (being overseas and all) so I wonder how lucky he got or whether he actually gave a crap what I thought. And ....good old Shoaib, got to hand it to him, he knows how to pick up the ladies. He was back and forth, chatting up different babes and I must admit, the ladies seemed to be giggling like school girls when he left (probably to chat up a dozen more). .
NTRA Thoroughbred Facts & Figures
The National Steeplechase Association has chosen longtime racing executive Lou Raffetto to fill a newly created position of chief executive officer. Most recently the president and chief operating officer of the Maryland Jockey Club, Raffetto will manage company operations and direct plans for the future. Raffetto joins a staff of four at the NSA's headquarters in Fair Hill, Md., and starts the new position March 17. "We were lucky to have someone of his caliber available when we came to the conclusion that we wanted someone to run the company," said NSA president Franny Abbott. "I love his enthusiasm. I love his history in flat racing. He's got the people skills to be helpful with our race chairmen and horsemen, and he will be able to help in our goal to become a bigger part of the Thoroughbred industry." Raffetto left the Maryland Jockey Club and owner Magna Entertainment in November.
Obama victory will prolong US racial divide, says British equality ...
I voted for a black man in the Republican primary in 2000. I voted for Alan Keyes, because he had the character, intelligence, knowledge and experience to make a great president. I would've voted for him again this year, had he chosen to run. Perhaps if the Republican Party wises up this year they'll get McCain to have Keyes run as V.P. There will be a black president in America before long, but it won't be Obama. It will be a black conservative Republican who runs and wins on the strength of his character, ideas and experience. .
Rockingham Tweaks Its Redistricting Plans
ELKTON — The Rockingham County School Board will hold yet another hearing on school redistricting at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 6, at Montevideo Middle School. This is likely to be more harmonious than earlier hearings, when dozens of parents expressed unhappiness with proposed new district boundaries. Now, under revisions announced at the Feb. 26 meeting of the Rockingham County Board of Supervisors, substantial revisions to the original plan have been made, reducing many complaints resulting from parents concerning the original plan. "[Supervisors and the school board] did an outstanding job," said parent Melani Tomasi, a participant in a recent protest group centered on Power Dam Road near McGaheysville. "The new plan reflected the bulk of concerns; they gave the people what they wanted," added Tomasi, whose children would have been shifted from the Montevideo area schools to the new school complex at Elkton, as well as Elkton Middle School.

We have become a family of chargers. Not the credit card variety, but the cell phone, digital camera battery, ipod kind of chargers. That's why one of my favorite Christmas presents not only helped me organize those electric items, but also made a corner of my kitchen look better. The multi-charging unit, painted white, just like my woodwork, fits neatly in a space on the counter and hides a power strip inside. I plug in the unsightly chargers and all I can see are the tiny plug-ins. At night, we line up our electronic neccessities and know right where they are every morning, charged up and ready to go. It makes me feel so twenty-first century. .
SUPER PHREAK: ED PISKOR TALKS “WIZZYWIG”
Sometimes, then as now, this was done for profit or malice, but more often these experiments were motivated by curiosity or simple mischief. Ed Piskors ("American Splendor") new self-published graphic novel, Wizzywig, tells a fictionalized account of the early days of hacking, when enterprising phone phreaks pushed the limits of telephonic applications. CBR News spoke with Piskor about the history of Wizzywig and the personalities and events that inspired it. The story begins with Kevin Boingthump Phenicle already in police custody, and his friend Winston advocating for him on a radio program. This has the effect of adding a touch of "legend" to Boingthumps exploits even before we see him perform his first hack. From here, Wizziwig flashes back to Kevins childhood, a picture of struggle and loneliness that would come to serve his technological obsession well.
Google's business Apps sparks debate
With the launch of Google Apps for Your Domain, the online search giant hopes to cash in on the market for-on demand applications. Analysts have welcomed the move but some question the company's motives and wonder whether our personal data is safe in Google's hands. Launched on Monday, Google Apps for Your Domain is a series of on-demand applications that individuals and companies can use to handle basic functions. It includes Gmail (Google Mail in the UK) for email, Google Calendar, Google Talk for instant messaging and Page Creator for page design. A word processor and a spreadsheet are still in beta testing. James Governor, of analysts Red Monk, said that the current Google approach was to produce applications that were "Good enough. It's not about releasing polished applications".

Response to InfoWorld’s Choices on 2007’s Top Technology
First of all, I must note for the record that InfoWorld has never given me an award as being top in any category. I'm thankful that they've spared their readers that pain. Now that I've gotten that over with, I'd like to comment on an article I recently read over at InfoWorld. David Marshall, a well known comentator on the virtualization arena and quite an interesting person, comments on his choices of the best technology from 2007. Although several fine products are mentioned, they seem to be the obvious choices because they offered technology that certainly was good enough to statisfy the needs of many organizations and were both highly and successfully publicized by their developers. What about the technology that was less highly publicized but, very interesting nevertheless? I suspect that the products that were easiest to defend were selected due to the limited space allowed for such discussions.
