ADMINISTRIVIA: VWBBIE down from Saturday night until this morning. Argh!

(1) I experienced an outage Verizon Wireless Broad Band (VWBBie) network from 2230 Saturday 26 Jun 10 until 0547 Sunday 27 Jun 10.

(2) When was 24 hour support eliminated?

(3) Why does the 914 error point me to a non-working number?

Argh!

NOT recommended!

That’s why Jasper Jottings was late this week. Argh!

Many from MAAC in Upstate N.Y. Hall

*** begin quote ***

The Capital District Basketball Hall of Fame might only be in its second year of existence, but it has already gone a long way to honor top hoopsters from the upstate New York region.

And, a good deal of those being inducted in a class of 50 Sunday night (June 27) have Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference connections.

The hall is directed by local businessman Rene LeRoux, who also just completed a book about the history of basketball at Siena. This year’s event, which still has a limited number of tickets available at the door ($75 per person), is being held at the Crowne Plaza in Albany with a reception from 4 to 6:30 p.m. and dinner and ceremonies to follow.

All individuals selected to the Hall must have played high school basketball in New York’s Capital Region.

Here’s a list of this year’s inductees who have touched the MAAC:

*** and ***

- John Leonard: A 6-4 guard, he was a two-time team MVP at Manhattan College who was a senior in the MAAC’s inaugural season (1981-82), and was a 10th–round draft pick of the NBA New York Knicks. Leonard later coached at Manhattan.

POSITRACTION: What was it you said that you couldn’t do?

Frenchman with no arms or legs set to swim the 22 miles across English Channel

A Frenchman who lost all his arms and legs in a freak accident is preparing to swim cross the English Channel.

Philippe Croizon will instantly earn himself a place in the record books if his 22 miles crossing from Folkestone, Kent, to Cap-Gris-Nez, near Calais, is successful.

He has flippers connected to his specially designed swimsuit and an extra long snorkel that runs straight up between his eyes.

Amazingly though, he was was barely able to swim two lengths of his local pool two years ago.

ENDNOTE: The Mojave Desert Cross, symbolic of how the State hates the Church

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=161073

Obama’s chance to act like an American

*** begin quote ***

On May 20, some volunteers installed a near-perfect replica of the original Mojave Cross. The next day, the Park Service removed it, apparently on orders from the Justice Department, and Obama said nothing.

The Mojave Desert cross is only one of dozens of lawsuits by which atheists are trying to get supremacist judges to expunge all crosses and Ten Commandments monuments from sight. A 29-foot cross on San Diego’s Mount Soledad, overlooking beautiful La Jolla, has been in litigation since 1989. This appeal is now before a 9th Circuit panel consisting of two judges appointed by Bill Clinton and a third appointed by Jimmy Carter, all three of whom have previously issued rulings hostile to religion.

The Christian majority in the United States had better wake up to how their religion is under attack by the U.S. executive and judicial branches of the federal government. Only a new legislative branch elected in November can protect the First Amendment from the atheists.

[JR: I'm no fan of EITHER of the duopoly that masks themselves as "opponents", but this is absurd! The Secular Progressive agenda is: to drive religion from society under the guise of "separation of church and state", propagandizing the children in the greatness and necessity of the State, and turn the American experiment into European socialism. In not outright Communism. Catholic charities, Catholic Schools, and Catholic Hospitals are all casualties in the war for America's souls.]
