NAD has a NEW CEO!

G'day Everyone.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to be at my computer and do the breaking news Saturday night when the NAD convention finally wrapped up in Philadelphia,PA. Yes, it's true! NAD has a new CEO!

Howard A Rosenblum is the new CEO to guide the NAD for the next few years. We should all wish Mr. Rosenblum all the best and capping an end to a good NAD convention. I believe that the NAD has made a strong choice for the guidance of fine leadership.

Also breaking news as of yesterday: Spain won the FIFA 2010 World Cup. But that only won't end the controversy that surrounds the FIFA's referees and some of their "decisions" during many of the games. For the next 4 years FIFA must search for their souls and look at everything that has gone wrong in this World Cup. Ghana must also look at themselves at what they done too. Same as England and many other countries.
Will FIFA World Cup 2014 be more honor to play in? Only time will tell.

Meanwhile, for many months and weeks we have followed the infamous story of the barefoot bandit in the news. Yes, this 19 year old kid has a huge following on Facebook and Twitter. Well, the barefoot bandit's accounts are now sitting in silence, or worse removed. WHY?

Simple. He got caught! Link: http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/07/12/bahamas.barefoot.bandit/index.html?hpt=T2

Colton Harris-Moore should have done himself in. He was just on the verge of doing that. But was talked out of it. So now this young man is in SO MUCH trouble, he'll spend all of his life in Prison. I'd say much more than Micah Brown is in. Congrats to those who caught him!

Now there's a begging question. Will there be a book and movie deal about the barefoot bandit? I think there will be. After all this has gone on Twitter and Facebook by this young man.

So one word of advice for Colton Harris-Moore: Stay in your cell, shoes on, and keep your back to the wall. He isn't going to see another Sun,sand, and surf for a long life time.

Enjoy the work week.
