> Now I know why comfortable ako pag tinatawag ako ng mga tigers. Kahit pang asar. Specifically si Khasim Mirza.

Touched talaga ako kay khasim. =) Aw. Talagang nagtxt pa ng blank message para lang malaman niya kung ano prob ko.


> Un pagtawag ninyo ng "Ate Ickay" sa akin. We all know na NEVER ako nagpatawag ng ATE ICKAY sa iba, pero pag tinatawag niyo ako ng ATE ICKAY,

di ako kumokontra. At NEVER din ako nagpatawag ng ATE sa mga players na mas bata sa akin pero ako pa mismo ang nagooffer na ATE ICKAY po ang pangalan ko. =))

Hi Coach Beaujing! =P


Acot to adopt CARR program
By: Ed Andaya
WELL-KNOWN   coach Rhuel “Beaujing” Acot  is  doing  well in  training  under  long-time  San Jose  City   College  Jaguars coach Percy  Carr.
   
In an e-mail  report from California,  United States,  Acot said  Carr and his four-man coaching   staff   have   shown  their full  support   to  Filipino coaches  through  their  extensive apprenticeship program.
   
“The whole  San  Jose City College coaching staff under coach Percy is really very accommodating and supportive since  my arrival here,” said Acot, who  is  attending a month-long coaching clinic under  noted  American  coaches for  the  second time since January, 2007.
   
“Like in  my  previous coaching  clinics   here in  the US last year,  I’m sure   I   will  be able to  learn a  lot under coach Percy,” added Acot, also the assistant  coach   of    2006 UAAP champion  University of Santo Tomas and   head coach of  newly-crowned   National  Inter-Secondary  basketball  champion Benedictine International School  and   Rizal Technological University.
   
Under  Carr and  the  San Jose City College  coaching  staff, Acot  said  he  expects to  learn   and  adopt   to  local setting the    highly-successful    Creative Athlete Retention Response (C.A.R.R.) program, which is one of the model  basketball programs  all over the United States.
   
Acot  noted the  program gives  importance  to college education to student  athletes by providing  tutoring and educational  assistance  and   focusing  on the  goal of earning a degree or vocational  program.
   
“Under C.A.R.R., the program focuses on the  student athlete as a whole  person so that they may  realize  their  potential as an individual and succeed in college,”  Acot quoted Carr as saying.
   
Now on   his 31st year, Carr is the  winningest coach in  California  community college  history with more  than 705 wins  with the  San Jose City Jaguars.
   
A two-time “Coach of the Year” awardee by the Santa Clara Country (1989) and  Sacramento Northern  California   (1994),   Carr graduated   from   Fresno State with  Bachelor  and  Master Degrees   in  Physical   Education. He began his   teaching  and    coaching career  at  his Alma Mater, Tulare High  School  and later   moved to Edison   HS    which  he led to  two championships with   88-22 record.
   
Aside from Carr, the other American   coaches  assisting Acot in his coaching clinic are Brad  Stever, Jay   Sawyer,   Dustin Coleman and Antonae Roberson.
   
Last year, Acot also underwent  coaching seminar under coach  Bob Taylor of  Northwoods  University Timberwolves in  Michigan  and  coach Tom Green of   the  Fairleigh  Dickison Knights  in New Jersey.
   
Acot  attributed his  newest foreign  trip  to the    all-out support of  UST thru  Rev. Fr. Rolando Dela Rosa  (Acting Rector), OP Rev. Fr. Ermito  G. De   Sagon, OP  (Athletic Director),  Rev. Fr. Clarence Victor Marquez, OP,  and   Rev. Fr. Manuel   Roux,  OP; Prof.  Pantaleon   Matias   of   UST-Commerce;  UST coach Pido Jarencio  and   coaching  staff;  Rudy Yu and  Jerry Cheng  of Dickies  Underwear; Clarence Aytona of  Skynet  Travel, Inc.; Willie   Ortiz, Joy Dimacali  and Roel   Reyes of Accel Sports;   Mariano  Bondoc and family of   BIS;  Dr. Jose Macaballug,  Dir. Greg Coronel,  Dr.  Dories  Tulfo and coaches Renan  Zipagan and Nick  Macaballug   of RTU;  coach Nomar Isla  of Emilio Aguinaldo College,  Caloy Valera  and  Quezon  City Councilor Ariel  Inton.

About Maui Villanueva from UBelt


by Sidney Ventura

Maui V. and the UAAP Rule Book

I have yet to soak in the weird sight of Maui Villanueva in a La Salle uniform. It’s probably an unconscious decision on my part, Maui being one of my favorite 21st-century UPIS players, the others being Marvin Cruz and Jason Espiritu. At this point, seeing him in another uniform would probably be like getting braces fitted on: it won’t be pretty to look at, and you will need some time getting used to it.

For what it’s worth, and perhaps to make me feel better, I understand Maui going to DLSU was already a done deal even before the kid left for Japan nearly three years ago. “His mother had already made the decision for Maui to go to La Salle,” a former teammate of Maui’s told me a couple of months ago. “The Japan trip just delayed making it official. That’s why during the UP tryouts in early 2005 he was pretty much coasting.”

Apparently, Maui’s mom exerts a strong influence in his life and is very protective of him. “She is a strong woman, and she got my respect,” was how one of my DLSU sources described her.

The same source also believes Maui will make an immediate impact with the defending champs. “He’s very good. Better than advertised. Steady shooter with a consistent trey. Knows how to play against taller opponents.”

That’s pretty much how I remember Maui during his UPIS days, except for the part about being a steady shooter with a three-point shot. He obviously honed this part of his game in Japan.

So this means even if the coaching situation in UP wasn’t muddled late last year, it’s doubtful the Maroons could have prevented this homegrown talent from slipping away. Maui was practically signed, sealed and delivered already. Ateneo also made a run at him, but the kid’s mind was already made up.

Once again, too bad for UP, which is in dire need of a big man. Maui could have easily provided the rebounding and interior defense the Maroons lack. This was painfully obvious during their Filoil debut against the JRU Heavy Bombers, whose post men Sena and Hayes were practically jumping on the shoulders of UP big men Andrew Marfori and Magi Sison and doing cartwheels.

The question on a lot of people’s minds, though, is whether Maui can immediately suit up without violating the UAAP rule informally named after him. Initially I thought he couldn’t, my understanding of the rule being that a player must have spent at least three of the last five years in the Philippines, otherwise he needs to sit out two years.

But I was able to get hold of a copy of the eligibility rule covering cases like this. Ironically, it appears it was proposed by UP’s Board representative in 2005, former CHK Dean Gilda Uy. Check of 4c (bold fonts mine):

4. Except as provided in these Rules, the residency requirement for students who have studied abroad in order to be eligible to play in the UAAP, shall be two (2) consecutive years having duly enrolled in the Philippines, and having satisfactorily met the academic requirements by passing the minimum number of units required (for transferees please refer to rules on transfer students).

Further, the following cases are exempted:

a.    children of parents assigned abroad due to the nature of their jobs;
b.    children of parents who are OFWs; and
c.    Filipino students who had their 2nd high school graduation abroad, provided the 1st graduation was from a high school in the Philippines.


I guess that pretty much settles it. I’m pretty sure Maui graduated from UPIS in 2005, so that would count for his “1st graduation from a high school in the Philippines.”

However, I find it odd for an exception like that to be inserted. I mean, seriously, how many students graduate from high school twice? If it was Dean Uy who inserted 4c, I guess she had Maui in mind when she did so, probably thinking that UP would still have a lock on him after he came back from Japan.

Of course, you can chalk this up as another one of the Board’s reactive rules that get passed every other year and are named after a certain player. 2003 brought us the Jerwin Gaco Rule, 2005 was the aforementioned Maui Villanueva Rule, while last year saw the sudden approval of the Soc Rivera Rule.

So 2008 being an even year, can we expect the Board to lay off approving any reactionary rules? April is the month that any proposed new rules are deliberated on and either approved or rejected, so even as we speak the Board is probably huddled together somewhere, wracking their brains to decide which new rules will make the least sense and get these approved.

According to my spy, the following items are on the agenda of the next Board meeting:

1.    All the teams except La Salle, UST and Ateneo are batting for an expansion of the two-foreigner limit per school and want foreign-sounding surnames to be considered foreigners as well. This will force La Salle to remove Simon Atkins, PJ Walsham, and Bader Malabes, UST to take out Dylan Ababou and Khasim Mirza, and Ateneo to strike out Rabah Al-Husseini and Jobe Nkemakolam (wait, I think Jobe already struck himself out academically). Chinese surnames will not be included because the league still needs Chris Tiu and Woody Co to bring in the teenybopper crowd.

2.    UP, meanwhile, is submitting its own separate amendment to the two-foreigner rule and wants all head coaches to be included in the foreigner count. This will hopefully cause a bit of confusion in the Ateneo camp and force Norman Black to drop incoming rookie Vince Burke, who was supposed to go to the Maroons until Joe Lipa got fired. With Burke out of Ateneo, Aboy Castro can try recruiting Burke again and get UP that big man it needs.

3.    UP will also seek for an amendment of the Soc Rivera Rule, specifically asking that any school who goes through as much trouble as UP did last year to secure Rivera has the right to ask for its money back should the said recruit get himself kicked out after only one year.

4.    FEU will issue a statement saying, “He who laughs last laughs longest.”

5.    UE will make an inquiry and demand to know whose bright idea it was to do away with the rule declaring that any team who goes 14-0 automatically wins the title.

6.    UST will once again make an appeal to get Jojo Duncil in its line-up, citing the fact that his career in the PBA is going nowhere so therefore they were wrong to say he was ready for the pros last year when they tried their best to cover up that birth certificate issue. Red Bull will reportedly agree so long as they can get Duncil back by 2009 since they are scheduled to trade him and half of their players to a San Miguel team by this time in exchange for whichever player has the lowest salary.

Fw: Strokes - Smile, Talk and Raise



Continue to forward this every time it
comes around.

STROKE:

Remember The 1st
Three Letters....
S.T.R.

My nurse friend sent this and encouraged me to post it and spread the word.

I agree.

If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.
Seriously..


Please read:


STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone
that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) ....she said she had
just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.


They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared
a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.


Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken
to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke
at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps
Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die.... they end up in a helpless,
hopeless condition instead.


It only takes a minute to read this...

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours
he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally He said
the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting
the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.


RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR Read and Learn!


Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately,
the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe
brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke
.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple
questions:


S *
Ask the individual to SMILE.


T *
Ask the person to TALK and SPE AK
A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)

(i.e. It is sunny out today)


R *
Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 999/911 immediately
and describe the symptoms
to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked',
if it goes to one side or the other

,
that is also an indication
of a stroke.


A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to10 people;
you can bet that at least one life will be saved.


Remember: Smile, Talk, Raise
