Abraham-Miranda II
Tue, April 29, 2008 @ 11:31PM
After a controversial 2006 bout, IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham (26-0, 21 KOs) will once square off against the hard-hitting Colombian Edison Miranda (30-2, 26 KOs) June 21. The two will fight at a catchweight of 166 pounds because Miranda has moved up to the supermiddleweight division. If the rematch is anything like the original, it will contain plenty of fireworks. In the first fight, Abraham's jaw was broken by Miranda in the middle of the fight, but King Arthur escaped with a controversial unanimous decision. Since then, Abraham has defended his title four more times (all by knockout) and Miranda has jumped up a weight class after he was brutalized by Kelly Pavlik in the WBC title eliminator. Miranda, who claimed he didn't eat or drink for three days prior to the Pavlik fight, appears to be stronger than ever at 168 pounds. He knocked David Banks (from the Contender) through the ropes in a recent fight with a thudding right hand.

Playoff Push
Mon, May 5, 2008 @ 11:22PM
Topic:Welcome to the playoffsStance:New faces in NBA postseason crowd will make for must-see TVReason:Players with something to prove will draw best from themselves and others Kevin Garnett -- welcome back to the NBA Playoffs. The 6-foot-11, power forward and center piece of the Boston Celtics' title hopes headlines a crop of fresh faces that will grace your television screens this playoff season. Chris Paul and Dwight Howard round out the trio of top tier talent that's pushing the postseason mainstays for league supremacy. With the same teams battling it out over the past few season, it seemed like all the playoffs meant was an extra month and a half of Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki and Tim Duncan. But not this year. Though Bryant and Duncan are still in the mix, a number of new faces are jockeying for TV time. Paul and his Hornets certainly grabbed their fair share of headlines downing the Dallas Mavericks in the first round.

A free option for an office software suite
Tue, May 13, 2008 @ 0:07AM
Yesterday, you could download the “Ultimate Steal” to obtain Microsoft Office for only $60 (if you have a valid college email address and take 0.5 credit hours). If that’s still a little steep, or you happen to not make the May 16 deadline, never fear. There is another option – and it’s free so there’s no reason to “steal” it. OpenOffice comes to you with about eight years under its development belt. If you can’t obtain Microsoft Office, this can be the next best thing and this software package brings you everything that you need at a much better price. Instead of Microsoft Word as the word processor, OpenOffice has “Writer”. The interface closely resembles Word, so if you are familiar with Microsoft’s menu’s and buttons you should have very little trouble. Calc takes the place of Excel for the spreadsheet program and Impress does the slideshows like PowerPoint.

Flyers need to pipe down
Mon, May 12, 2008 @ 7:46PM
The Philadelphia Flyers, fresh off being schooled in the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals, have apparently figured out what the problem is. The referees. Nevermind Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Nevermind Marian Hossa and Marc-Andre Fleury. The reason for the Flyers back-to-back 4-2 losses to the Penguins is the on-ice officials. At least that's according to Philadelphia. "Obviously, (the Penguins) might get protected a little bit more," Flyers forward Daniel Briere said. "That's understandable, but when they do some of the cheap shots that they're doing I think it would be fair for everybody that they get the same treatment in that regard." That's just a small sample of the boo-hooing the Flyers are doing. It starts with their coach, John Stevens, and it trickles down to the players as you just read from Briere. That's fine, let them keep blaming it on the officials.

Should I stay or should I go?
Wed, April 30, 2008 @ 10:23PM
I remember fondly the first time I decided to apply for a staff writing position at The Review. I was on my way to visit my brother in Calcutta and opted to drop by the newspaper office to pick up an application. Now, keep in mind I have been to a lot of places and experienced a lot of odd traffic patterns and signage, but nothing prepared me for what I was about to meet. I came up state Route 7 from the Toronto area, stayed straight as it turned into West Eighth Street and then veered off to the right to climb the small hill at Jefferson Street. Then it happened. I was sitting at the light at the intersection of Jefferson and West Sixth streets, and the light did change, but a new, strange, green light with some sort of archaic symbol appeared. I was transfixed, then perplexed and then frozen in time. Should I stay or should I go? That was the problem I had. I never encountered such a symbol. The light was red AND green.

Wordiness
Fri, April 25, 2008 @ 3:07PM
Words are a powerful and potentially dangerous thing. I have always loved language - the subtle shades of meaning, the way words like "ridiculous" and "superfluous" sound rolling off the tongue, the look on someone's face when you insult them with a word they don't understand. One of the beautiful things about language is how adaptable it is. It is an ever-changing, nebulous thing and rightfully so. Slang is always evolving to accommodate us with new ways to insult each other and to call things cool. New words and phrases are constantly being coined to express new ideas, which is not at all a bad thing in and of itself. I use "google" as a verb on a daily basis, and I'm fine with that. What I find really irksome, though, is the habit that has been swelling to gross proportions of combining two words into one.
