Stamping out hunger

EAST LIVERPOOL — East Liverpool postman Dave Phillips jokingly asked the rookie mail carriers if they brought their can openers for the buffet that they would see on Saturday during their daily routes.
And he was pretty accurate as the East Liverpool Post Office workers picked up about 2,260 pounds of perishable food items during the national “Stamp Out Hunger” food drive.
Phillips was joking about the can opener and eating a buffet themselves, but he knew the importance the food items would make in the city.

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.

Most corrupt sport — college football
Thu, May 1, 2008 @ 2:36PM
College football. It KILLS ME. OK, so NCAA Div. 1-AA, II, III and NAIA (or whatever weird designations the NCAA is referring them by) aren't bad. Those divisions have playoffs, you know, determining a champion on the field. The biggest, baddest division, however, wants nothing to do with a playoff — something every other major sport has and wouldn't have any other way. Just a few days ago, commissioners from all the major conferences met in beautiful Hollywood, Fla. at some fancy beach resort (think they paid their own way?) to discuss their current BCS system in place. The current system (which could be explained quickly by just taking the C out of its name) has a series of voting polls and a computer rating system determine what two teams will play for the national championship. The concept has proved to be flawed in numerous ways and always leaves at least two school and their fans complaining they deserved to be playing in the title game.

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.
