Michelle was awarded earlier this month by the Women’s Sports Foundation for her contribution in developing women’s sports.

Quote:
for helping the development of women’s sports. Kwan is the most decorated figure skater in U.S. history, winning five world titles, nine U.S. titles and two Olympic medals. Kwan was named the first U.S. public diplomacy envoy in 2006 by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, a post that takes her around the world to meet with youth about social and educational issues.

On Wednesday, June 27, Michelle will take part during ESPN’s “My Wish” series, which airs during SportsCenter. The first airing is during the 6-7p broadcast of SportsCenter, but the piece will air on other SportsCenter airings throughout the night. Don’t miss it!

MKF has started to act funny again. The “quick” fix is to always perform a reboot, which I just performed. Will take a while for board to run properly again.

I’m not sure why the board keeps on having such weird problems. We didn’t have any problems when we were on a dedicated server. Ever since I downgraded (due to their not being as much activity when Michelle was skating) to a virtual private server, we’ve had these intermittent problems which are frustrating to all of us, I know.

The visibility into the problems are hard to debug, but I will certainly try. Thanks for everyone’s patience

Michelle will be a judge for Miss Universes 2007 on May 28, 2007

“Celebrity judges this year include NBC’s “Heroes” James Kyson Lee, NBC’s “Deal or No Deal” briefcase model Lindsay Clubine, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, rocker Dave Navarro, World and Olympic figure skating champion Michelle Kwan, celebrity hairstylist Ken Paves, fashion designer Marc Bouwer, “Project Runway” judge and Elle magazine fashion director Nina Garcia, and former Miss Universe (1993) Dayanara Torres.”

Update: All is well now in MKF land : ) Sorry about the board being down. I think things are running more smoothly too.

As I was trying to upgrade to 3.6.4, the latest version of vbulletin, it looks like the code in the latest s/w is disliked even more by what is installed by default with ASO. A program called Eaccelerator is making all the pages crash. Just letting all of you know that I’m aware of the problem. Please be patient.
