Game Time
2008-08-15 03:50:00 The day we have all been waiting for has finally arrived. Ric Blas Jr.?s Olympic journey has reached its summit, um, how about peak, no, pinnacle (I like that). When I learned that Blas would be competing on Friday afternoon, I figured I might be able to get home from work in time to watch him live. Of course, I didn?t factor in that whole time difference thing. So even though Blas will meet Georgia?s Lasha Gujejiani at 1:06pm, that it 1:06AM here in the Eastern time zone. Although Blas and I have been Facebook friends for what seems like forever (or yesterday) and I?d like to interview him after the Olympics, don?t expect a live blog of judo?s men?s heavyweight division. I mean, I need to wake up by 6:45 to get to work! However, Blas may still be competing when I awake, so hopefully I?ll be able to watch him while eating my Lucky Charms or Honey Nut Cheerios. I believe that you can watch Blas and all of the Olympic judo matches online at the NBC website. To get you excited ...

2008-08-09 16:05:00 The guy pictured to the right is Ricardo "Ric" or "R.J." Blas Jr., an Olympian representing Guam in judo. I?m not kidding. Seriously, they really do have judo in Guam! According to Bob Costas during the opening ceremonies where he (Ric, not Bob) was the flag-bearer for Guam, Ric may be the heaviest athlete in Olympics history. Unlike Nadia Comaneci, the Romanian gymnast who won five gold medals, Ric has a MySpace page, which includes many pictures of Ric in action (judo and otherwise). If there?s one person I want to do well in Beijing, it?s Ric, particularly since he could pummel me if I get on his bad side. Here?s a little more about Blas from Guam?s Pacific Daily News (as opposed to Guam?s Atlantic Daily News). Bat-El Gaterer, competing in Taekwondo, is the only religious member of the Israeli delegation. Besides answering some questions about whether or not she would compete on Shabbat, this may be my favorite portion of the interview:Q: But isn?t [practicing with boys]...

Obama Wins North Carolina by Wide Margins, Clinton Leads in Indiana
2008-05-07 02:18:00 Shortly after polls have closed in Indiana and North Carolina, it is clear that Barack Obama has won the North Carolina Democratic primary. Senator Clinton is leading the way in early returns in Indiana by as much as 14 percent. MSNBC is projecting that if Obama gets 57 percent of the vote in North Carolina it will completely negate Clinton?s gains from the Pennsylvania primary at the end of April. On Saturday, Obama was able to pull out a victory in Guam but both candidates came away with the same number of delegates. When looking at the counties that have reported their votes in Indiana, those areas heavily favor Hillary Clinton?s demographic. However, Clinton?s lead in the vote is large in the early stages and Obama would need to make up large numbers in his areas of the state. Obama is currently trouncing Clinton in North Carolina in early returns and it is a state where Obama can make more delegate gains on Clinton. North Carolina is also not a small stat...
Nightly Ramble: Guam, cold retribution,”Reason”, and the lack o
2008-05-06 22:01:00 Yes, dear reader, I know I often write the Rambles so you MUST click on the links to see what the subject is. That’s the idea. That said, let’s get to it. Not often in the last cycle did we see the fact that Obama won Guam by only seven votes. I suppose you can guess for yourself why. How sad is it when the outcome of a nomination is still in doubt by the time Guam comes along? How sad is it when one Democrat wins by only 7 votes? A pretty good idea, actually, Billy. But just so you knw, polar bears don’t come that far south, usually. While I have you, Billy, I wonder if you and Karen aren’t each viewing betterment of that publication in opposite directions. IOW, what she would consider better, you’d consider worse. Though, come to think of it, it’s hard for me to see how it could get worse, shy of hiring Jimmy “The Snake” Carville, Jerimiah Wright, or someone similarly gifted in what passes for reason, any more. So, now we see a charg...

Lou Pearlman Arrested in Guam!
2007-06-15 07:09:00 How awesome is that? I guess he was trying to escape federal and state criminal investigations in Florida involving alleged securities and bank fraud.I never met Lou, but he used to come into the Cheesecake Factory in the Mall at Millenia when I worked there. He was always with a slew of young boys. Maybe he was trying to find the next big boy band or maybe he was, um, let's not go there.The Orlando Sentinel reports that he has been on the run for a while:Pearlman was last publicly seen in Orlando in late January. By early February he was in Germany, where he still has a boy band, US5, touring. But within days of his Feb. 1 appearance on German television, he dropped out of sight again. Subsequent sightings have been reported in Russia, Belarus, Germany, Israel, Spain, Panama, Brazil and Indonesia. The first such Indonesia report came in early February when an Orlando attorney received a letter from Pearlman with a Bali, Indonesia, postmark. Since then, the Orlando Sentinel has rec...

CNMI 3, Guam 3
2007-06-03 10:08:00 I may have overdone it with the pictures in this post:I had high hopes for the CNMI International Team going into today's friendly match against Guam. These guys beat the National Team a few weeks ago 3-0. Knowing that the National Team only lost to Guam on Saipan 3-2, I was expecting our boys to give Guam a good spanking.The game was amazing. CNMI scored first. Then Guam tied it up. Then we scored again. CNMI was up 2-1 at the half, but Guam tied it up in the second. Then we scored again to make it 3-2, but Guam tied it up.No one was able to score again and the game ended in a 3-3 draw.I'll let Brad give the play by play on his blog or on the Sports Page of the Saipan Tribune. I think my pictures capture the excitment well enough.Kudos to Coach Wes Bogdan for a fantastic job! See, not all lawyers are evil!

Redskins waiting list larger than Guam
2007-05-15 18:43:00 Northwestern.com reports that the Redskins have the largest wait list in the league as of 2005: The Packers don't have the largest waiting list in the National Football League. According to 2005 statistics, the Washington Redskins have 175,000 names on their list and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have 115,000 names. Hail to being numero uno in something. Also, in the 2000 census the U.S. Territory of Guam tipped the scales at a paltry 154,805 now estimated around 175,000. Tampa Bay's 115,000 wait list compares favorably to (pffft) Tonga or (oh big deal) Federated States of Micronesia. Per this, FedEx field seats 80,116 (feels low?) which means we could fit the entire population of both Greenland and the British Virgin Islands into a game and still have enough room for hot dog vendors.

Guam: America?s Unsinkable Fleet
2007-02-19 11:38:02 Why the U.S. military is pouring forces into a remote West Pacific island. Feb. 26, 2007 issue - For an out-of-the-way spit of land in the West Pacific, Guam has been getting a lot of interesting visitors recently. First came a steady stream of Pentagon bureaucrats and senior U.S. military officers. Then, a few weeks ago, a high-ranking delegation of Japanese officials arrived. And this week the island is set to greet its most illustrious guest yet: U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney. So why all the fuss over a tropical island just 30 miles long, known mainly for its white-sand beaches and glorious sunsets? The answer: the Pentagon has begun a major redeployment of U.S. forces in the region, pulling troops and equipment out of sometimes unreliable allies and beefing up its presence in more-congenial locales.

If you want the long version keep reading... First of all the holiday didn't get off to the rosy beginning that it might have as me and the Shanmeister had to wait for nigh on ages to get through immigration into a US territory.
