My first experience with an all-inclusive resort was a decade ago during a freezing February in New York City.

HOUSTON -- "All right," was the assessment of legendary Mexican goalkeeper Jorge Campos as he left his luxury box following Mexico's 2-2 tie with the U.S. on Wednesday. "Next time we'll win," he said, before cracking a smile and sticking his tongue out to reveal he wasn't so sure.

Here are some facts from tonight's broadcast that you might find interesting: In 2004, the Dane County board (Madison, WI) passed a policy which bars social workers from asking the immigration status of people seeking welfare. It also prohibits local ordinances and resolutions that bar government employees from either checking on the legal status of people seeking welfare or from notifying the federal government if that status is illegal. Wisconsin State Senator Glen Grothman (R-Madison) and Rep. Roger Roth (R-Grand Chute) are seeking co-sponsors. The county collected $139.2 million from transfer and recordation taxes in 2006. In 2007 it was $118 million. Down a little over 15 percent.

Before Mexico kicked off the Hugo Sánchez Era against the United States a week ago, I figured the game would go Mexico's way. And I wasn't alone. In fact, before the game many of my colleagues were talking about how the U.S. pretty much had no chance against Mexico.

This year's hurricanes were strong enough to knock out levees, flatten buildings, and flood cities along the Gulf Coast.
