It’s not really sports related, but if you are married or have a girlfriend, you’re most likely going to wind up dealing with the opening of New Moon interfering with normal sports viewing this weekend.

New Moon,” the second chapter, finds Edward leaving Bella because of the inherent danger of a mortal being around vampires. Desolate and depressed, Bella suffers a near-breakdown and slowly returns to the living thanks to her friend Jacob Black, an American Indian whose Quileute tribe guards humans by transforming into massive werewolves who can repel vampires. A vengeful vampire Victoria (played by Rachelle Lefevre) wants Bella dead.

“New Moon” charts Jacob’s emotional transformation as he longs for Bella as a lover. When Edward returns, the stage is set for a classic romantic triangle.

The awarding of the 2016 Games to Rio de Janeiro set off a joyous celebration in the city, long known in roughly equal measure for its beaches, its carnival and its vast, crime-ridden shantytowns.

It was met with a fervent hope that Brazil — often characterized as the eternal “nation of the future” — might finally be approaching its vast potential.

“I say with all frankness: Our time has come,” President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva declared Friday morning in Copenhagen. Teary-eyed, he later told reporters, “The decision is a homage to the people of Rio, who normally only appear in newspaper pages with bad news.”

Serena Williams said she was sorry for threatening an official.

I want to amend my press statement of yesterday, and want to make it clear as possible – I want to sincerely apologize FIRST to the lines woman, Kim Clijsters, the USTA and mostly tennis fans everywhere for my inappropriate outburst. I’m a woman of great pride, faith and integrity, and I admit when I’m wrong. I need to make it clear to all young people that I handled myself inappropriately and it’s not the way to act — win or lose, good call or bad call in any sport, in any manner.I like to lead by example. We all learn from experiences both good and bad, I will learn and grow from this, and be a better person as a result

One outspoken critic of Vick, Robin Starr (the CEO of the Richmond Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) won’t be protesting. She’ll be mourning the loss of her dog, who died yesterday after Mrs Starr left him in her car when she went to work.

RICHMOND, Va. – An executive for an anti-animal cruelty group says her 16-year-old blind and deaf dog died after she accidentally left him in her hot car for four hours. Robin Starr, the CEO of the Richmond Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, says she didn’t realize “Louie” was in the car until noon

Very sad.

Also, please remember. You can’t walk away from a K-22 paper jam!

Reggie saves the day.
