        <![CDATA[<p>Since 2004, Anoka County was thought to be the new home of the Minnesota Vikings stadium. On November 20 the county issued a press release stating, "Anoka County Rescinds Vikings Stadium Offer," according to the <a href="http://www.co.anoka.mn.us/v1_departments/div-governmental-services/dept-public-information/news-releases/06-11-20-stadium.asp">Anoka County website</a>.</p>

<p>This leaves many fans wondering if a new stadium will ever be built and if not; what will happen to the Vike's? After all, their contract with the H.H. Metrodome is up in 2011.</p>

<p>All hope is not lost Vikings fans. According to the <a href="http://www.startribune.com/sports/vikings/12256151.html">Star Tribune</a>, Eric Grubman, the executive vice president of finance and strategic transactions of the National Football legue, visited Gov. Tim Pawlenty last week. Let's hope he wasn't here to congradulate our governer on our team winning yet another amazing game last Sunday.<br />

<p>From reading this website for a while I know that the Geekologie reporter (he remains nameless but has let it be known he is a male), has to posess the skills to understand how a server works and how large the server needs to be, because comments from the reading public, are allowed on his page. He also gets most of his  story ideas from emailed tips. Therefore,  he would have to know how email works. </p>

<p>Included in his stories are many links for the websites he gets his information from and video clips to see the products he reports on, so a knowledge of how to create links is also important.</p>]]>
