As November makes the transition into the full-on holiday mode and the number of weeks until Christmas can be counted on one hand, Americans have several big days to look forward to.
It all starts out with the Thanksgiving feast, and as nights grow longer, more of them are filled with holiday parties and get-togethers.
For many people, the holiday shopping season starts out big, with Black Friday and a frenzy of holiday shopping.
Cyber Monday has become a "thing" in recent years as online retailers try to draw shoppers with special deals and the appeal of avoiding parking and other holiday shopping hazards.
Since 2012 another special day has been added to the post-Thanksgiving holiday kick-off: Giving Tuesday.
Reminding Ourselves What's Really Important
The fact is, even with the economy recovering, many households have a hard time trying to live up to the American image of the holidays as a time to spend a lot of money and make wishes come true for loved ones.
The result is often overextended credit cards and overextended patience. Giving Tuesday is designed to inspire people to pause from the "getting" and spend a day concentrating on giving.
In coming weeks, look for #GivingTuesday on Twitter, and check out the links about how you can participate.
Giving Tuesday: A New Movement
This year, Giving Tuesday is December 3, and it can be a terrific way to remind ourselves and teach our children about the importance of giving to those less fortunate than ourselves.
Last year, in all 50 states, more than 2,500 organizations took part in Giving Tuesday, and more are expected to participate this year.
But the day isn't just for organizations that serve the needy; it's for individuals and families too.
Giving Tuesday is an unofficial holiday, and it endorses no particular charity. The goal is simply to promote giving to those in need.
Last year, the inaugural Giving Tuesday made a difference. Compared to the same Tuesday in 2011, online donations increased significantly, both in number and in total dollars collected.
In 2012, more than 50 million people gave of their time or money, and many started spreading the word through social media channels.
Donations may be big or small, depending on your means, and giving of your time to charitable organizations is welcomed too.
Charitable 501(c)3 organizations may register to be part of Giving Tuesday, but of course you can give to organizations that are not registered.
Ways You Can Participate
How can you participate in Giving Tuesday?
There are countless ways, and the way to start is by thinking about what's important to you.
You and your children could collect pet food and supplies to donate to a local animal shelter, or you could make a cash donation to a local charitable organization or food bank.
You could set up a donation box in the break room at work.
You could have a "Secret Santa" game at your workplace where people donate to participating charities on behalf of each other, encouraging the holiday spirit at work and helping your business engage with the community at large.
This approach also saves everyone from having one more novelty gift to buy and find space for at home or in the office.
Individuals may be reluctant to give to charities, particularly if they are unable to give much. Perhaps they feel as if their small gift doesn't make a difference.
But the great thing about participating in Giving Tuesday is that it's a nationwide effort, and everyone's contributions together can really make a difference to those in need.
If your Black Friday shopping leaves you with tired feet and misgivings about what the holidays represent, Giving Tuesday can be the perfect antidote.
Spread the word with #GivingTuesday on your favorite social media sites. Why not give it a try, and remind yourself and your family how good it can feel to give?

Key Lime Pie with Dark Chocolate Macadamia Crust
Serves 12-14
Note: The pie is best baked in a deep-dish 9-inch pie pan. If you use a shallower dish, reduce the quantity of filling by a quarter.
1/2 cup finely chopped macadamia nuts
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
Chocolate lining:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
3.5 ounces dark chocolate, roughly chopped
8 egg yolks
2 14-ounce cans sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon grated lime zest, from 1 regular lime or 5 to 6 Key limes
1 1/4 cups juice from about 30 Key limes, or 4 to 5 regular limes
Whipped topping:
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon lime zest or a splash of vanilla or both, optional
1. For the crust: In a food processor, process the nuts, flour and sugar until starting to combine, then add the cold, cubed butter and continue to process until it forms large crumbs but does not ball up. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch deep-dish, glass pie pan. Freeze until firm, 15 to 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the chilled crust for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly brown and set. Cool on a wire rack.
3. For the chocolate coating: Melt the butter and chocolate until smooth; pour it over the cooled crust and use the back of a spoon to spread it evenly. Freeze until firm or even overnight.
4. For the filling: Whisk the yolks, condensed milk and lime zest. Gradually stir in lime juice until well combined. Pour into the chilled crust and let the pie pan sit at room temperature while you preheat oven to 350 degrees.
5. Bake the pie for 20 minutes to set the filling; cool on a wire rack, then cover and chill 2 hours or overnight.
6. Whip the cream, sugar, zest and vanilla to stiff peaks. Serve the pie with dollops of whipped cream, garnished with shaved chocolate, lime slices or more lime zest.

Chelsea will attempt to sign "two or three new players" in the summer as they begin a revamp of the squad at Stanford Bridge.
According to the Blues chief executive, Ron Gourlay, Roman Abramovich is planning to keep on investing in the Chelsea playing squad and is hoping to have his business done early in the summer.
Gourlay was speaking at the announcement of a pre-season friendly with the Singha Thailand All-Stars on July 17, which will take lace in Bangkok.
He claimed the signings would hopefully be completed before Chelsea make the trip in preparation for the news season.
"We will continue to strengthen the team and I am expecting the introduction of two or three new players and hopefully they will be in place in time to be part of the team in Thailand," he said.
Interim manager Rafael Benitez confirmed he would be leaving Chelsea at the end of the season in a surprisingly candid post-match interview last week, in which he criticized the Stamford Bridge supporters for not getting behind the team enough.
Gourlay was asked about the possible replacements for the former Liverpool boss but he refused to be drawn in the issue.
Chelsea currently sit fourth in the Premier League and the Stamford Bridge official insisted the club were only concentrating on finishing as high as possible to guarantee his side qualify for the Champions League.
"We said from day one that Rafa was coming in as interim manager to the end of the season," he added.
"It is important that we remain focused on the job in hand which is qualifying for the Champions League and then at the end of the season we will sit down, have a look at the situation and we will determine how we go forward."
Chelsea are currently concerned with progression in the Europa League, however, and have a trip to Romania to face Steaua Bucharest in the first leg of their last 16 tie on Thursday.

NWSB insider and Seattle Sports blogger Brandon Choate brings us his take an issue that has been brewing with the Seattle Mariners for years now. With Wednesday's game against Cleveland came the lowest attendance ever recorded at Safeco Field. The team ownership's refusal to spend money combined with the team's inconsistent production has soured fans and given them a reason to stay home on game day.
Seattle Mariners reach new low in recent history

The second annual Empty Bowls Dinner is scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 30, from 5-7 p.m. at the Fellowhip Hall of the Methodist Church. Empty Bowls, chaired by local potter Amy Gernhardt, is a unique opportunity to purchase a one-of-a-kind bowl, hand-crafted by local artists and students, with all proceeds going to support the Cedar Key Community Food Pantry.
Volunteers will serve delicious soups, savory salads, and choice desserts – all prepared and donated by local cooks – on an all-you-care-to-eat-basis.
Attendees decide for themselves how much they would like to pay for their bowl, which they keep at the end of the meal. Take-away will be available for those who wish, or the dinner may be enjoyed without purchasing a pottery bowl.
Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to fight hunger. Fund-raisers take place all over the country and in at least a dozen international settings. Gernhardt, upon learning of the event, knew it would be a perfect match between the local art community and the Cedar Key Food Pantry. Last year's inaugural event was very popular and there is hope for a sell-out this year.
Our local Food Pantry currently serves over 40 families (approximately 100 individuals) per week, with food supplies to help supplement what their budget cannot afford. Come enjoy fellowship, food, and take home some fantastic pottery while benefiting a great cause!

dude look'n at it 70x per day might seems a bit excessive but if that trips your trigger, or the math works, Hay!

Local weather resources and topics.
Moderator: BayAreaKite
how specific is their history? can you, say, search 4pm last friday and see how much it was blowing while you were riding? If so, that is a cool feature. I have often spent days kiting where the wind obviously picked up while I was riding and was curious to know what the sensors say. (like last friday at 3rd)
p.s. what am i doing wrong with the quote function??
Drop the '="name"' from the quote.
I put together this website as another source for real time wind info:
Cell phone access, graphs, links to webcams, pressure gradients, etc.
Any feedback would be great.
I don't think so... it's a nice application, but if you were using it as your sole source right now and wanted to go kiting, you'd say "I guess it's not really blowing anywhere right now" because there's no sensor close to Sherman or Waddell -- the only two places in the area where it's blowing 20 right now.
Sorta gets back to the "how much is a good session worth to you" debate, IMHO. Free is nice, but you usually get what you pay for...
All of which reminds me that I am NOT kiting right now.
aka Pablito
It says 10M, but it's really a 9.

Day 11: Ikebukuro & Harajuku
This is the last post about my Japan trip T_T I was really glad to go over again these great memories of my last travel! I stayed in Tokyo two more days than this resume, but the weather was incredibly bad so I didn't take enough pictures to make a post, but I can say you I spent the last two days eating a lot and shopping a lot XD eheh. The 11th day we went to Ikebukuro in the morning, we wanted to visit it better 'cause most of the time we went only to the Sunshine City and nearby shops.
Finally we found the new Animate palace! We spent a lot of time inside it looking through all the anime related items ahahah. There were a lot of gashapon outside, also some great ones about Sailor Moon!
I'm still laughing so hard about Sailor Moon chips :°°D there were all the flavors in the shop.
Sengoku Basara drinks! We are big fans of the series so a photo with them was an obligation ahahah but my boyfriend bought both of them....the flavors were really tasty lol.
So many things about my favorite series inside T__T finding so many items about Fate Stay Night made me crazy ahahah!
There was also a big floor dedicated to music cds, the Love Live sections was incredibly big with all the singles! One of my favorite is After school navigator 8D
In the last floor there was an exibition of Durarara 'cause the brand new anime was ongoing! There were tons of gadjets and a little section where all the fans can do their birthday wishes to Shizuo, my little fangirl heart was screaming aaaaah.
We went to the Meji Shrine in the afternoon even if we visited it during our first Tokyo travel, it's always so nice to walk in this long and beautiful park! Then we went to Takeshita Dory and nearby street to check the stores and search a place for the dinner.
Some times ago I saw this video from Ayumi Seto, which is one of my favorite japanese model (and now a designer too!), she really loves hamburgers and she did a sort of little map on youtube of her favorite places to eat. We looked for this place called "The Great Burger" in the previous days without founding it, but after a lot of time going around the little harajuku streets we finally found it!
The local was really cute and really american style like the ones you can see in old films, I choose the Teriyaki burger and believe me it was the BEST hamburger I ate in all my life. Of course is really expensive compared to Mc Donalds, Burger King, etc but it's totally another world, you definitely need to check it if you go to Tokyo!
As I said before, this is the last post about my travel even if I stayed two full days more, now it would be time for the haul post so please let me know if you would like to see it, 'cause it will be really long and it'll take me quite long time to make all the pics, but if there are a lot of people interested in my purchases I would be really happy to make it! Thank you very much for following my long diary about my travel, can't wait to make another one!

Best Place To Take Kids Out For A Stroll
Farmer's Markets. My kids get good exercise, they get to meet the folks that grow the food they eat, and I get to support local farmers who provide the freshest produce in town. Arts and crafts add to the colorful experience.
Best Place To Take Kids Out For A Hike
Rio Grande Nature Center. I get good exercise, my kids get to see the resident ducks and turtles, and point out the migratory visitors (we saw sandhill cranes earlier this year). The view of the Sandia Mountains is spectacular.
Best Venue in Which to Hear Live Music With The Kids
The Rio Grande Zoo in the summer. Bring your own picnic basket and nonalcoholic beverages. Kids get to dance around on the lawn and you get to enjoy world-class music. Also, the intimate Outpost Performance Space has great kid's workshops and demonstrations by master musicians and performers for free!
Best Place to Hear Live Music While You Eat
Jamaica Jamaica. Enjoy Caribbean-flavored food and listen to live island music on Sunday afternoons with Racin Kreol at this new restaurant in Nob Hill.
Best Place to Eat
My House--when available (and that's almost always), I prepare meals with all organic and unprocessed foods. Organic just tastes better.
Best Restaurant
Thai Orchid. If we do eat out, my favorite place to go is Thai Orchid. Wonderful soups, great spring rolls, crunchy stir-fried veggies, spicy curries, scrumptious desserts and great atmosphere. India Kitchen comes in a close second.
Best Place to Appreciate the Night Sky During The Day
Lodestar. This Astronomy Center and Planetarium located at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science is a local treasure.
Best Nursery
Plants of the Southwest. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, a great selection of native and adapted plants, and free clinics on Saturdays. Bernardo Beach is another local nursery with a great selection of low-maintenance plants suitable for our area.
Best Place To Get Away From It All
Madstone Theatre. Most people would say a day spa, but movie-watching is my favorite pastime and Madstone Theatre, brings great Hollywood and independent films to Albuquerque. They also screen locally produced films.

I was trying to figure out why the automaker from the land of Ikea was serving up two new meatballs this morning named the all-new S40 and V50. Then I realized — who the hell cares? Here's the scoop — although both are still built on Volvo's P1 platform, the message from Volvo is the coupe-styled S40 and it's wagon-brother V50 are "more different" in looks than previous models with the S40 moving a step closer to the new S-range design we've seen on the Volvo S80. The V50, on the other hand, gains some of the visual cues we saw on the new V70. On a performance level, the T5 engine gets a performance hike of 10 hp up to 230 hp. The other choices are the same as the previous generation, a 1.6-liter 100 hp, 1.8-liter 125 hp, 2.0-liter 145 hp, 2.4-liter 140 hp and the 2.4i hitting 170 hp. Of course you can also go diesel on the euro side of the Atlantic in addition to any of those "petrol" engine variants. That engine range comes in 1.6-liter at 109 hp, 2.0-liter at 136 hp and for the final flavor, the D5 hitting 180 hp.
The new Volvo S40 and V50 - more dynamic looks and liberated storage space Increased differentiation between the S40 and V50 New S40 front with lower, broader stance Sportier new grille creates a tougher V50 look Slimmer tail lamps and new rear bumper Larger and more practical storage space New real wood inlay - Nordic Light Oak Fresh new Spring Green upholstery
A number of distinctive design cues take the new Volvo S40 a visual step closer to the new S-range look as first shown on the all-new Volvo S80. At the same time, the V50 approaches the new V-range and the all-new V70 without compromising on its original compact and sporty attributes.
"When it comes to the exterior, we're aiming for increased differentiation between the two models. The interior refinements have focused on liberating smart storage space," says Volvo Cars Design Director Steve Mattin.
Starting with the new S40, the source of the inspiration can be seen clearly when the compact sedan is viewed from the front.
The new colour-coordinated soft nose creates a broader, lower stance thanks to a new grille with a larger Volvo iron mark, new headlamps and a lower air intake that sweeps across the entire front unlike the current model's three-part design.
"The new, lower and more horizontal appearance radiates smooth power. This impression is reinforced when the car is seen from the side. At the rear, it is the shape of the new tail lamps and the new bumper that further boost the dynamic appearance," says Steve Harper, who has been responsible for the design of the new Volvo S40 and V50.
Sportier V50 grille
The new black egg-crate grille with its larger Volvo iron mark emphasises a sporty language. The new headlamps and the three sculpted lower air intakes are other details that give the new colour-coordinated soft-nose V50 front an increased impression of solidity. "Here, we've created visual vertical elements in order to further emphasise the new grille," says Steve Harper.
Sharper driveline range
The driving characteristics are already among the most renowned strengths of the two models. One new feature is that the T5 engine gets a performance hike of 10 horsepower, giving an output of 230 hp. There are also five other petrol engine versions available, plus a bio-ethanol Flexifuel variant: 1.6 100 hp1.8 125 hp1.8F 125 hp (Flexifuel)2.0 145 hp2.4 140 hp 2.4i 170 hp
Diesel engines, which account for 55 percent of S40 and V50 sales in Europe and 25 percent in total, are available in three versions: 1.6D 109 hp2.0D 136 hp D5 180 hp
One change here is that during the second half of 2007 the D5 engine will also be available with a manual gearbox, offering the driver no less than 400 Nm of torque compared with the automatic transmission's 350 Nm. This engine is one of the first to meet the expected Euro 5 European exhaust emission levels.
The E85-powered (85 percent ethanol, 15 percent petrol) Flexifuel variant producing 125 hp is becoming increasingly competitive. The Volvo S40 and V50 Flexifuel are sold in nine European countries and in 2007 account for 8 percent of these models' total sales.
Slimmer tail lamps
The lower part of the tail lamp panel on both the S40 and V50 is 30 millimetres higher than before and the lamps themselves have an entirely new graphic layout. The brake lights are now of LED type and the position marker lamps emphasise the car's shoulders.
The new bumper features integrated reflectors in the lower corners and the lower, broader design language is supplemented with the more horizontal lines of the exhaust tailpipe.
"The improved shape and position of the exhaust tailpipes is a good example of how a little extra visual touch can create a highly potent impression," says Steve Harper.
Freeing up storage space
When refining the interior, the design team transformed itself into something of a liberation movement for storage space.
"The criticism of the current models' limited storage space served as high-octane fuel when the time came to sketch the new interior of the S40 and V50. We weren't entirely satisfied until we felt we had exploited every single available cubic centimetre in an efficient way," relates Steve Harper.
The team concentrated its efforts on two areas: the door sides and the centre stack.
The entire lower part of the front door inside panels was redesigned. The audio system loudspeakers were reshaped to free up space for a new, larger storage compartment with space for an A4 format book, an upright soft drinks can or a water bottle lying down.
As an added bonus, space was also freed up for an extra Dynaudio loudspeaker (only for Premium Sound), which adds even more spice to the audio experience.
Larger and more intelligent centre console
The already iconic super-slim centre console is available in additional decor versions such as the Nordic Light Oak real wood inlay, and the theme now flows smoothly with similar elegant soft curvature surfaces all the way to the rear seat.
The storage space between the seats has also been refined with the help of Scandinavian design tradition's most renowned hallmark - smart functionality.
The handbrake has a more compact design, which in turn has freed space for more generous storage capacity.
Sliding cover and flexible armrest
The sliding cover over the larger storage compartments, in which there are also two holders that provide secure support for large and small cups, is complemented by an improved flexible armrest for the driver. This also has a built-in feature that the design team playfully call the "hamburger table".
"We've even utilised the small spaces that are usually simply covered over when they're not housing controls for options or accessories. Now instead, the space has been converted into a handy compartment, for instance for a mobile phone. After all, the phone is not something we should be using while driving, anyway," explains Steve Harper, and adds:
"And on the back of the console there is another little jewel: a flip-up holder for a 1.5-litre bottle within easy reach of passengers in the rear-seat."
New upholstery and green highlight colour
New design details in the instrument panel and air vents also contribute to the interior refinement in the new S40 and V50.
The upholstery range has been expanded both at base level and for the more exclusive options, for instance with a new, finer grained leather. At base level there is a green 'accent' colour fabric with the poetic name of Spring Green.
"The green upholstery is entirely in line with the increasing demand for personalised choices by our customers. We started with blue and red upholstery in the new Volvo C30, and now we are introducing green in the new S40 and V50. I'm sure it's going to be very popular," says Steve Harper.

U.S. MNT Ready to Face Argentina at New Meadowlands Stadium
ARGENTINA AWAITS: The USA's first match on an international fixture date presents a tantalizing opportunity as they face two-time FIFA World Cup champion Argentina at New Meadowlands Stadium. With the U.S. gearing up for the Gold Cup and Argentina getting set for Copa America, both teams will be looking to impress. Argentina boasts an array of attacking talent led by FIFA World Player of the Year Lionel Messi, who returns to the site of the memorable match from 2008 in New Jersey. Kickoff in front of what is expected to be a capacity crowd is set for 7 p.m. ET, and the match will be broadcast live on ESPN2 and Univision. Fans can also follow the match on ussoccer.com's MatchTracker and on Twitter @ussoccer.
ALL DRESSED IN RED: The U.S. Men's National Team will debut a new Nike red jersey when they face Argentina on Saturday. Designed by Nike, the creation of the red national team kit was driven by consumer demand and completes a trio of jerseys, each representing one of the three colors of the U.S. flag – red, white and blue. In a unique campaign called "#RedAllOver†U.S. Soccer and Nike provided fans with the opportunity to write a new motto that will be featured on the U.S. Men's National Team's new red uniform. Fans had five days to submit their motto on Twitter and the most inspirational motto will be embroidered on the sleeve of the players' uniforms they will wear against Argentina.
- There are currently 22 players on the U.S. training camp roster in Cary. The coaching staff will determine the travel squad prior to Thursday's departure for New Jersey. The team will dress 18 players on match day.Â
- Jozy Altidore was the last player to arrive in camp, joining the group Tuesday evening.Â
- Steve Cherundolo (groin), Stuart Holden (knee) and Zak Whitbread (back) were forced to withdraw from the original roster. Eric Lichaj serves as the only replacement.Â
- The U.S. has played Argentina nine times in their history, holding a lifetime record of 2-6-1 against the South American juggernaut. Of those nine matches, only four have been played in the United States, with the other five taking place in neutral sites. The two U.S. victories include a 3-0 upset of the defending champions in the group phase of the 1995 Copa America, and a 1-0 win in 1999 at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C., when a Joe-Max Moore goal was the difference.Â
- The last meeting was a thrilling 0-0 draw on June 8, 2008, in the USA's last match at Giants Stadium in front of a record crowd of 78,682 fans. That game concluded an incredible stretch of 11 matches for the U.S. that saw road matches against England and Spain, and was the USA's final match before the start of 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying.Â
- A total of eight U.S. players were on the field that day, including six starters (in bold): Michael Bradley, Jay DeMerit, Clint Dempsey, Landon Donovan (capt.), Maurice Edu, Tim Howard (ussoccer.com man of the match), Sacha Kljestan, and Oguchi Onyewu. More on that impressive evening later.Â
- Also on the field that day was current two-time FIFA World Player of the Year, Lionel Messi.Â
- Fourteen players on the U.S. roster were part of the squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.Â
- Jay DeMerit is returning to the fold for the first time since last summer's run to the Round of 16 in South Africa. Joining Vancouver Whitecaps FC late last year, he made his debut in the 4-2 victory against Toronto last weekend.Â
- Landon Donovan is the leading capwinner on the roster with 128 international appearances. With his next appearance he will assume sole possession of third place on the USA's all-time cap list, passing Marcelo Balboa. Coincidentally, he earned his 100th cap against Argentina in the teams' previous meeting.Â
- A total of 12 players on the roster have scored at least one goal for the United States. Donovan leads all U.S. scorers with 45 career goals; Dempsey will hit No. 20 with his next strike. Third most? U.S. captain Carlos Bocanegra, who has a dozen.Â
- Eighteen of the 22 players are plying their trade outside the U.S, representing clubs in 11 different countries.Â
- Five players are currently on loan spells: Jozy Altidore (Bursaspor), Bradley (Aston Villa), Jermaine Jones (Blackburn), Lichaj (Leeds United), Onyewu (FC Twente).Â
- The New York Red Bulls are the only team to send two players to Cary in Juan Agudelo and Tim Ream. Both youngsters earned their full team debut in the 1-0 against South Africa in the 1-0 win on Nov. 17, 2010 in the Nelson Mandela Challenge. With that appearance, Agudelo became the first alumnus of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy to play for the full team. Mixx Diskerud also made his first appearance that day, setting up Agudelo for the game-winner.Â
- Edson Buddle, who moved in January to FC Ingolstadt in the German Second Bundesliga, scored his first goal for his new club on Jan. 21 against MSV Duisburg. In goal that day – new U.S. international David Yelldell. The next day, Jonathan Spector nabbed his first EPL tally when he netted against Tim Howard in West Ham's 2-2 draw with Everton. Howard was also on the other end of Landon Donovan's first Major League Soccer goal, when the young San Jose Earthquakes forward scored against the young MetroStars goalkeeper in a 2-0 victory on May 20, 2001.Â
- The U.S. is playing its second international of 2011, and the first on an international fixture date. After opening the year with a 1-1 draw against Chile, the match scheduled for Feb. 9 against Egypt in Cairo was canceled due to the developing situation in the capital at that time.Â
- This is the USA's second match at New Meadowlands Stadium, having fallen 2-0 to five-time FIFA World Cup champion Brazil on Aug. 10, 2010, in the first match following the World Cup.Â
- Overall, the USA holds a 4-2-5 record in the state of New Jersey.Â
- Howard and Agudelo both hail from New Jersey. The U.S. goalkeeper is from North Brunswick and began his professional career with the MetroStars (now the Red Bulls), winning the 2001 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year award. Altidore also spent a portion of his youth in the state, and was drafted in 2006 by the same club.

NEXT UP – NASHVILLE: Three days after the Argentina match, the U.S. will face 2010 FIFA World Cup quarterfinalists Paraguay at LP Field in Nashville (TICKETS). Fox Soccer Channel and Telefutura will broadcast the match live at 7 p.m. CT, and fans can follow the match at ussoccer.com's MatchTracker and on Twitter @ussoccer. The U.S. will be making their third appearance in Nashville. LP Field hosted a final round World Cup qualifier on April 1, 2009, when Jozy Altidore became the youngest player in U.S. history to record a hat trick, pacing the U.S. to a 3-0 victory against Trinidad &Tobago. In April of 2008, the venue hosted the knockout round of the CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying tournament, where the U.S. Under-23 Men's National Team defeated Canada in the semifinals to become one of two teams from the region to qualify for Beijing.
EYES ON THE PRIZE: Several U.S. players have the opportunity to collect individual and team honors across Europe this season, two already having recorded their name in the record books. Clint Dempsey's 10th Premiership goal of the season – scored against U.S. teammate Tim Howard in a 2-1 loss to Everton – set the mark for most goals by a U.S. player in a season in the EPL. Up north in Glasgow, Maurice Edu earned another trophy with Rangers, the Glasgow side defeating Old Firm rivals Celtic in extra time on March 20 to capture the 2011 CIS Cup crown. In Holland, on-loan defender Oguchi Onyewu has enjoyed a resurgence with an FC Twente that remains in contention for three trophies: the Eredivisie title, the Dutch Cup, and the UEFA Europa League, where they face Villarreal in the quarterfinals. South in Belgium, Sacha Kljestan and Anderlecht currently hold the top spot in the league table. Kljestan has 20 league appearances already in his first season at the defending Belgian league champions.
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE: Including the match in 2008, a total of nine players have previous experience against Argentina. Three players were on the field in February of 2003, while Jay DeMerit is the lone representative from the young side that faced Argentina at the 2007 Copa America. The breakdown:
Date Venue Result U.S. Players
Feb. 8, 2003 Miami, Fla. 0-1 L Carlos Bocanegra, Landon Donovan, Tim
June 28, 2007 Maracaibo, Venezuela 1-4 L Jay DeMerit
June 8, 2008 East Rutherford, N.J. 0-0 T Michael Bradley, Jay DeMerit, Clint Dempsey
Landon Donovan, Maurice Edu, Tim Howard
Sacha Kljestan, Oguchi Onyewu.
CAPTAIN CARLOS: Carlos Bocanegra is entering his fifth year as captain for the United States. After being first out of the tunnel for the first time on June 2, 2007, against China, he has worn the captain's armband 40 times, leading the U.S. at the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup and the 2010 FIFA World Cup. He is also the second all-time among defenders in goals scored for the United States with 12 total, one behind Marcelo Balboa.
DONOVAN AND THE CENTURY CLUB: With his appearance against Argentina in 2008, Donovan added another remarkable statistic to his already impressive international résumé by becoming the fourth youngest male player of all-time to earn 100 caps. Only 10 other U.S. players have achieved that mark. Cobi Jones remains the USA's all-time capwinner with 164 appearances – still good for fourth most in the world – while Marcelo Balboa holds the distinction of become the first U.S. player, either male or female, to join the century club.

TURNED 50: With his appearance Oct. 12 against Colombia last year, Michael Bradley became the fourth youngest player in U.S. history to reach 50 caps. One of five U.S. players to play every minute at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, he scored the game-tying goal against Slovenia that kept the USA's hopes of advancing alive. The 2007 U.S. Young Male Athlete of the Year has represented the United States at the World Cup level for both the full team and the U-20s, as well as at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.

DOUBLE DEUTSCH: The only two U.S. players without a cap on this roster have a lot in common. Both were born in Germany with an American serviceman for a father and a German mother; both grew up in Germany, and both are making their debut in a U.S. national team camp. FC Nürnberg defender Timmy Chandler has captured a regular starting role, the 20-year old having quickly risen through the ranks before realizing his dream of being called into the U.S. camp. MSV Duisburg goalkeeper David Yelldell has had a different career trajectory, slowly earning his chops first in England and now the German Second Bundesliga where he has marshaled his side to a place in the DFB Cup final. He's particularly proud that his efforts have paid off with a callup. Incidentally, they join a third German-American who has donned the stars and stripes in midfielder Jermaine Jones.
DUAL NATIONALS: Three players on the roster are in the unusual circumstance of not only having passports from two countries but also having represented both. Jones played for Germany in qualifying for the U-21 European Championship and in friendlies for the full team before requesting a change of association. Chandler played twice for the Germany U-15 team in friendlies, but never saw action in official competition. Born to an American mother and Norwegian father, Diskerud made two appearances for the U.S. at the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Egypt. Having debuted with the U.S. U-20 MNT at the Campos Verde International tournament in April 2008 where he recorded three assists against Northern Ireland, he then played against the U.S. for Norway at a U-18 event the following month.
THE BOB BRADLEY FACTFILE: As Bob Bradley continues the beginning of his second four-year cycle, a look at the stats from the first go around reveal an impressive list of achievements. In the four year cycle culminating in the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the United States:
- Won its group at the FIFA World Cup for the first time since 1930 (that's 80 years ago), and for the first time ever in a four-team group.Â
- Earned the first point and win for the U.S. in the third group game at the World Cup in eight tries by defeating Algeria.Â
- Went unbeaten in group play during a World Cup for the first time ever, earning a 1-0-2 record.Â
- Produced the best finish ever at a FIFA tournament, finishing second at the FIFA Confederations Cup.Â
- Posted 1-1-1 record against No. 1-ranked teams, including a semifinal upset of Spain at the FIFA Confederations Cup, ending a 35 match unbeaten run for the Spaniards.Â
- Only one of two teams to beat Spain since November of 2006.Â
- Won the CONCACAF Gold Cup title in 2007 to qualify for the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup.Â
- Finished in first place in CONCACAF qualifying, collecting the most road wins of any team in the region during the campaign while going unbeaten at home in nine matches.Â
- Scored the most goals (42) of any team in the world in 2010 World Cup qualifying.Â
- Posted the team's best scoring and defending marks in a year with more than 10 games, scoring a record 2.14 goals per 90 minutes while allowing just .57 goals per 90 minutes in 2008.Â
- Won three straight matches on the road for the first time in team history (Oct. 17, 2007 @ Switzerland, Nov. 17, 2007 @ South Africa and March 26, 2008 @ Poland).Â
- Played seven matches against four teams ranked in the top five in the world at the time they stepped on the field against them (Argentina, Brazil-3, Italy, Spain-2).

STARTING OVER SOUTH OF THE BORDER: U.S. defender Jonathan Bornstein joined a rare list of players who have moved from MLS to Mexico when he joined UANL Tigres at the beginning of the season. He's in a new country and playing a new position, and is pleasantly surprised by the life for an American footballer in the land of the USA's biggest rival.
THE GOLD CUP COMETH: This year's first major competition for the United States hits in the summertime with the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup, where the U.S. will compete in Group B against Canada, Panama and Guadeloupe. The U.S. has captured the crown four times, and has appeared in the last three Gold Cup finals, collecting back-to-back titles in 2005 and 2007 while facing Mexico in the last two championship matches. Winning the 2011 version of the confederation championship has a massive bonus attached to it – the right to play in the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup in Brazil just one year prior to the World Cup. That experience can be critical, as the USA learned during their fun to the final of the 2009 Confed Cup in South Africa where they defeated No.1-ranked Spain the semifinal. The U.S. team continues to hold the impressive distinction of never having lost a match in the group phase of the tournament, holding a lifetime record of 24-0-2 in round-robin play.

Asociación del Fútbol Argentino
Founded: 1893 (Joined FIFA in 1912)
Head Coach: Sergio Batista
Current FIFA Ranking: 4
Best World Cup Finish: Champion (1978, 1986)
Best Copa America Finish: Champion (1921, 1925, 1927, 1929, 1937, 1941, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1955, 1957, 1959, 1991, 1993)
Caps Leader: Javier Zanetti (139)
Top Scorer: Gabriel Batistuta (56)
COPA COMING: After a 4-0 hammering against Germany in the quarterfinals of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, fourth-ranked Argentina are in search of the pieces that will win them their first silverware since 1993 when they last won Copa America, a fact that proves the challenge of winning major tournaments around the world. Make no mistake – they have earned their ranking and have shown their capabilities with wins against Brazil and Spain in the last year. Nonetheless, despite boasting the two-time FIFA World Player of the Year Lionel Messi and a host of attacking talent, the Argentines have found titles remain elusive. Argentina head coach Sergio Batista is looking to the 2011 Copa America tournament, where his country is hosting the 43rd edition of the continental championship and has been drawn into Group A with Colombia, Japan and Bolivia. They are looking to erase the memory of the 2007 final when they took an unexpected 3-0 loss to Brazil, the USA's eventual opponent in the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup final.
PLAYER HUNTING: Batista has called on several veterans to bolster a squad that is full of emerging talent. In addition to Messi and Argentina's all-time leading capwinner Javier Zanetti, he has included regulars in the midfield corps in Esteban Cambiasso and Javier Mascherano. Amongst the prospects are Real Madrid Angel Di Maria, who has three goals in 18 international appearances. Of the 24 players on the roster, there are 12 with five caps or less.
Argentina Roster by Position
GOALKEEPERS (2): Mariano Andujar (Catania), Adrian Gabbarini (Independiente)
DEFENDERS (9): Marcos Angeleri (Sunderland), Nicolas Burdisso (Roma), Federico Fazio (Sevilla), Ezequiel Garay (Real Madrid), Gabriel Milito (Barcelona), Nicolas Otamendi (Porto), Marcos Rojo (Spartak Moscow), Pablo Zabaleta (Manchester City), Javier Zanetti (Inter Milan)
MIDFIELDERS (7): Javier Mascherano (Barcelona), Ever Banega (Valencia), Fernando Belluschi (Porto), Lucas Biglia (Anderlecht), Mario Bolatti (Internacional), Esteban Cambiasso (Inter Milan), Javier Pastore (Palermo)
FORWARDS (6): Angel Di Maria (Real Madrid), Nicolas Gaitan (Benfica), Eduardo Salvio (Benfica), Ezequiel Lavezzi (Napoli), Lionel Messi (Barcelona), Jose Sosa (Napoli)
ON BATISTA: Like Bob Bradley four years ago, Batista began his tenure with the interim tag and had it removed after three matches that included a 4-1 victory against defending World Cup champion Spain. He celebrated his appointment with a 1-0 win against regional rivals Brazil. A midfielder in his career, Batista was a member of the 1986 World Cup winning squad and also the team that reached the semifinal in 1990 in Italy.
VS. THE U.S.: The U.S. has played Argentina nine times in their history, holding a lifetime record of 2-6-1 against the South American juggernaut. Of those nine matches, only four have been played in the United States, with the other five taking place in neutral sites. The two U.S. victories include a 3-0 upset of the defending champions in the group phase of the 1995 Copa America, and a 1-0 win in 1999 at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C., when a Joe-Max Moore goal was the difference. The 0-0 draw at Giants Stadium in 2008 came one week before the start of 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying for the United States.

Patrick McCarthy, Annie E. Casey Foundation/
TITLE: President and Chief Executive Officer
FOCUS AREAS: Child welfare, child literacy, juvenile justice, low-income community development
CONTACT: Visit PeopleFinder for email and phone number (paid subscribers only)
PROFILE: Patrick McCarthy is President and Chief Executive Officer of the Annie E. Casey Foundation. Here's his profile on the foundation's website:
A respected clinician and public sector leader, Patrick McCarthy joined the Annie E. Casey Foundation in 1994 to manage its Mental Health Initiative for Urban Children, a five-year, $20 million effort to provide high-quality community-based mental health services for children in four high-poverty communities. With a career serving in multiple capacities in the mental health and human services fields, McCarthy brought to Casey a broad perspective on what children, families and systems need to prosper. Throughout his tenure, he has led efforts to improve human services practices and policies to boost positive results for the nation's most vulnerable kids and families. He held positions of increasing responsibility before being appointed the president of the Foundation, replacing Doug Nelson in 2010.
Before joining the Foundation, McCarthy held positions ranging from psychiatric social worker and head of a school for youth with emotional and behavioral challenges to university professor and division director at the Delaware Department of Services for Children, Youth and their Families. He holds a master's degree in social work from the University of Pennsylvania and a Ph.D. from the Bryn Mawr College Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research.
"My career has always focused on strengthening and helping to support families, especially those living in concentrated poverty, in order to help their children succeed," McCarthy says.
Growing up in a low-income family in a close-knit community, McCarthy understands "the importance of a strong and supportive family, no matter what the income challenges are."
Another key influence on his career was the time he spent leading a state juvenile corrections system, where he witnessed "the limits of the system and in some cases the harm" it did to young people.
The father of four says he has come to value the "my family" test: "If I think something would be bad for my own kids, why would I want it for somebody else's?"
As a leader, McCarthy takes seriously his responsibility "to support, motivate and make room for everybody's talents in support of the Foundation's mission." From that perspective, he doesn't regard his accomplishments in terms of individual achievements. "The Foundation's success depends on teams of people working together to advance our mission and to position the organization to do more good for more kids and families," he says. "We have to work in partnership with lots of other folks within and outside the Foundation."
McCarthy credits his Casey colleagues with teaching him a whole new level of "coalition-building" skills.
"Whether in workforce development, child welfare, juvenile justice, community change, grade-level reading or data and policy advocacy, Casey folks have demonstrated what can be achieved when you partner with diverse organizations," he says.
McCarthy believes an essential challenge for everyone at the Foundation is to "keep the culture vibrant, strong and focused on creating results through our work."
An avid runner, McCarthy says he applies an important lesson from long-distance races to the challenges of responding to some of the most critical social issues of our time.
"When I'm running a marathon, I've learned to stay focused on the present, without getting distracted by thinking about the miles I've already run or overwhelmed by thinking about the miles yet to come or how difficult the road ahead might be," he says. "I try to remind myself all the time to run the mile I'm in."

Rob Lothman (right) sets up Nick Madden for a kill during Harvard's win over Springfield (photo courtesy Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The Harvard men's volleyball team had three players reach double-digit kills in its Monday night victory over Springfield, 3-1. The win is the fourth in a row for the Crimson and improved Harvard to 6-1, the best start to a season since 2000.
The Crimson had its best attacking set of the 2011 to open the match, converting 66.7 percent of its attack attempts in the first set. Junior Matt Jones accounted for six of Harvard's 12 kills in the opening set. Springfield, the AVCA Division III No. 1, also attacked well in the first set, converting 45.8 percent of its attempts. The quality hitting led to a tied score at 20, but the Crimson took over from there. Jones slammed home two kills, Chris Gibbons knocked in one of his own, Derek Jansma converted a service ace and Kyle Rehkemper hit home the winning kill to give Harvard a 25-22 set victory.
The stellar attacking cooled down in the second set, but much more for the Crimson. Harvard attacked at only an 8.7 percent conversion rate, while the Pride tallied 12 kills for a 27.3 attack percentage. Harvard opened up an early 10-7 lead in the set after another Jones kill, but Springfield would not go away easily. Kills from Mike Pelletier and John Coen, along with multiple Crimson attack errors would give the Pride a 15-13 lead. Springfield held the momentum for the rest of the set and secured a 25-20 win following an Alberto Bravo kill.
The Pride kept things going its direction in the beginning portion of the third set, opening up a four-point lead at 13-9. A kill from Nick Madden and a service ace from Michael Owen, paired with a couple of Springfield attack errors, knotted the score at 17. The lead would change four times through the final part of the set. At 27-27 though, Jones tallied his 12th kill of the match and Rehkemper and Rob Lothman blocked a Coen attack to give Harvard the set.
Harvard stormed out to a 17-9 lead in the fourth. The Pride mounted an enormous comeback though and following a Ryan Lilley kill, tied the match at 24. The teams each took turns grabbing the lead from that point, the Pride twice and the Crimson four times. It would be Harvard that would put two points together first though. Lothman set up Rehkemper for Harvard's 31st point before Rehkemper set up Gibbons for the match-winning kill.
Jones finished with a match-high 19 kills, followed by Gibbons with 14 and Rehkemper with 12. Rehkemper led all Crimson attackers with a 42.9 attacking percentage. Harvard finished the match with 17.5 blocks with Madden assisting on nine, while Rehkemper assisted on seven and knocked down one solo block. Lothman recorded 46 of Harvard's 53 assists.
Harvard will make its first road trip of the season this weekend, traveling to St. Francis (Pa.) and Juniata, Feb. 18 and 19, respectively. The Crimson played its first seven matches at home going 6-1 over that stretch to earn the school's best start in 11 years.

Contractor will serve Rural Development Housing Voucher Demonstration Program
ICF International Inc. will continue to assist the Agriculture Department's Rural Development Housing Voucher Demonstration Program under a $12 million recompete contract.
The four-year award calls for ICF to provide the RD Voucher Program with administrative and management services, including documentation of tenant eligibility and payments, call center support for tenants and owners, tracking and reporting of voucher utilization, and the establishment of systems leading to the eventual management of a permanent USDA program, according to an ICF announcement.
In addition, ICF will coordinate the development and delivery of rent comparability studies to establish appropriate rent ceilings for the vouchers.
The RD Voucher Demonstration Program is a one-year rental subsidy program to protect tenants of USDA multifamily housing properties who have had their USDA loans foreclosed or prepaid between Oct. 1, 2005, and Sept. 30, 2006, according to the USDA website.
RD Vouchers are available to eligible low-income tenants living in a USDA-financed property at the time of foreclosure or prepayment.
ICF International, of Fairfax, Va., ranks No. 66 on Washington Technology's 2010 Top 100 list of the largest federal government contractors.
