All I can say is Yahoo! Today’s the day that RPE comes home … landing at Logan this afternoon after logging lots of hours in the sky. She’ll be home and telling stories by dinnertime if everything goes according to schedule. (Did I say Yahoo??!!)
Also yahoo-worthy was the USWNT’s defeat of Canada last night — [...]
Okay, of that group, which one(s) would you put your money on?
Citi had a good day and the market bounced … meanwhile, Newsweek has put out a great piece outlining the warring amongst the rich – a greed-fed battle they dub “the war between the estates.”
In the past two years, since the market peaked, investors [...]
I read through the post-match quotes re. yesterday’s USWNT win over Norway at the Algarve – and continue to just love Pia’s detailed and forthright comments … for example:
(On the ebb and flow of the match) You can imagine that you have a team running at you the whole time and doing everything to win, [...]
Check MatchTracker this morning at 11 ET to follow the USWNT vs. Norway in the final game of group play over at the Algarve (where, presumably, it is NOT snowing)!
The US is already in the championship game as a result of their two previous wins, however this should be interesting, as they’ve not seen Norway [...]
Here’s the video of Tasha Kai’s goal for the USWNT in the 90th minute versus Iceland … thank you AMR (whomever you are!).
Meanwhile, I guess Pia wasn’t so happy with the first half …according to the quote sheet …
On if she was pleased with the match:
“Yes and no. It’s great to be a winner, 1-0, [...]
Tasha scored in the 90th minute – on what sounds like an absolutely brilliant goal (assist from Rampone). This pulls out the 1-0 win for the USWNT who continue undefeated in the 2009 Algarve. Hope somebody posts video of this goal soon – it sounds like a stunner!
“A spectacular late goal from substitute Natasha Kai [...]
First off, our friend Alice (who suffers good-humoredly my unrelenting pressure to become a JordanCornblog contributor) is off to tour Florence today. Happy travels, Alice!
Happily, she will not have to leave before the USWNT faces Iceland in their second game at the Algarve. She (and the rest of us) will be able to follow it [...]

First off — thanks to Alice and Stephen for the compelling discussion of Obama’s choice of Rick Warren for his inauguration. Time will tell, I suppose, whether Obama is backing away from promises or working toward an inclusiveness that is, at the moment, feeling disheartening and frightening. After the hope-to-disappointment trajectory of the Clinton years, [...]

The U.S. Women’s National Team defeated Brazil, 1-0, on a 41st minute goal from forward Amy Rodriguez in a scrappy encounter at the 2008 Peace Queen Cup, giving the USA control of Group B and taking a major step toward a berth in the tournament’s championship game. Read on …

Still waiting for the write-up – but if you click on the MatchTracker logo at ussoccer you can at least get the play-by-play. MatchTracker should show the PBP for awhile … maybe ’til the next game if we’re lucky!

The US women defeated Mexico 3-1 on first half goals by Natasha Kai (2) and Abby Wambach (1). Check back for details once US Soccer shares something! Mexico scored their goal in the first half, too … and it sounds like the US dominated the second half, but there was no more scoring. [...]
March is arriving like a lion here in NH, with maybe as much as another foot of snow in these parts when all is said and done. One thing that means is that the NHIAA Girls’ Class M Basketball Final between Campbell and Conant has been postponed and will be played at 7:30PM up at [...]
