Summary:
In August, the United States Olympic Committee announced the finalists for the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame ‘Class of 2006’ and invited the public to vote online to help determine who will comprise the next class of inductees. Voting ends on Sept. 21. Click here to vote.

Fans who do vote online are automatically entered in a Grand Prize Sweepstakes for a trip to the Induction Ceremony in Chicago. The sweepstakes winner will also receive airfare and lodging, plus, hard-to-get tickets to both the pre- and post-Induction parties, where they can meet the athletes.

Summary:
It sounds strange at first. Anyone used to stopping by the bakery downtown for desserts or a special occasion cake knows that nothing compares to the sights and smells of fresh-baked foods. But most college campuses don't have a bakery nearby. 1-800-Bakery.com brings the best bakeries online right to your home or desktop. The site was launched in 2004 by Stephen Pazyra (Chef Steve), owner of the award-winning La Patisserie of Winchester, Massachusetts. Chef Steve searches for bakeries with signature cakes, cookies, and pastries and brings them together in one place on the web.
