...players (the Chicago Fire signed popular Mexican forward Cuauhtemoc Blanco this year under the Beckham rule), the MLS hopes increasing revenue will allow the league to become competitive with every league in the world. Says Garber: "The way the rest of the world sees us? A slowly awakening sleeping giant...
...Even more pertinent was the criticism that the giant carbon footprint of an event that involved jetting pop stars and their entourages around the globe, and encouraging hundreds of thousands of fans to travel to concert sites, was inherently at odds with Live Earth's energy-conservation message. Around half the carbon footprint in any given show usually comes from the audience traveling to the concert, and though Live Earth promised to offset those emissions, it wasn't yet clear how - not to mention that offsets are inherently dicey.

In 2004, Trippi managed former Vermont Governor Howard Dean's campaign when it too was shattering fund-raising records, only to come crashing to the ground in the Iowa caucuses. While the hundreds of thousands of small donors who are jumping aboard campaigns like Obama's and Edwards' are impressive, Trippi...
