There are a lot of nice civilized things I could say about Mexico City native Alan Valdez. He's an all-state athletics champion and won second place in something called the Model America Championships, for instance– but if I don't type "Alan Valdez can spill all over us any time he wants" my punny blogger brain [...]
Model Christian Gandar has been in the industry about three years, but the reason we're enjoying him is because he doesn't look like a model. He's not exactly "boy next door," either. Maybe "best friend's hot older brother"?CONTINUED » Permalink | 8 comments | Add to del.icio.us | Digg Post tags: christian gander, Morning Goods

First the U.S. Army was allowing more people with
felony convictions "
moral waivers" to join the ranks, now the Army is allowing more significantly overweight people to join. From the
Christian Science Monitor:
The waistlines of America's youth are expanding, shrinking the pool of those eligible to join the US military. But an Army program is giving overweight enlistees a second chance - and helping the military with its own expansion. The recently-introduced waiver program allows enlistees who don't qualify for the military because of their weight a chance to shape up after joining. So far, the program has helped the Army make its recruiting goals in what remains a tight recruiting market.
If the economic recession worsens, it could help the military's recruiting efforts as people seek stable employment. That could reduce the need for waiver programs. However, nutritionists don't see the trend of overweight Americans disappearing any time soon, ensuring the continuance of such programs in recruiting an all-volunteer force.
"We support any service who comes up with a scientifically defensible way of expanding the market [of recruits]," says Curtis Gilroy, director of accessions policy for the Pentagon...
