Formulated through the diligent organization of KC Adams, and
with a little help from a group of friends, Anchorpoint Christian
High – 2220 Pacheco Pass Highway – will host Unity Day on Saturday
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. as part of Black History Month and a chance
to, “pay it forward.”

“It’s something that I have wanted to do for awhile,” Adams
said. “It’s going to be really good to get everybody together and
give back.”

The list of activities and entertainment options is lengthy.
First off, for kids elementary-school and middle-school aged, there
will be games, jump houses, a punt, pass and kick challenge, 3-on-3
basketball tournament and many other family activities.

Musical guests include Robert Butler of cathedral of Faith,
saxophonist Luis Lendz and karaoke by DJ JR.

The day will also be used to teach and encourage as Pastor
Malcolm MacPhail (New Hope Community Church), Pastor Gerald Harris
(Bethany Church), Sergio Montenegro (Monterey County School
District), Bob Fitch (Martin Luther King’s former personal
photographer), Sondra Cole (Anchorpoint Christian) and Peter
Arellano (Gilroy Councilman), are all scheduled to speak.

Adams and his close friend Michelle Travlos, who suffers from
Sickle Cell Anemia, also organized a Red Cross blood drive to raise
awareness of the disease and invite visitors of Unity Day to
donate. Register to donate blood at redcrossblood.org and use the
sponsor code: anchorpoint. Donations will be taken from 9 a.m. to 2
p.m.

La Salle-Dasma is overall champ

Host de La Salle University-Dasmariñas ruled nine of 15 events to snatch the overall crown from defending champion Rizal Technological University at the close of the 19th National Capital Region Athletic Association season recently.

After sweeping the men’s and women’s indoor volleyball championships, the Patriots went on to bag the beach volleyball titles, with the pair of Alnakran Abdilla and new partner Joel Villanueva dominating the men’s side.

As beach volley babes Jennifer Manzano and Giselle Bembo prevailed in the women’s action at the sand-courts of DLS-Health and Science Institute campus, DLSU-Dasmarinas also took men’s badminton, swept men’s and women’s chess, and men’s table tennis.

They then came out as surprise winners in the initial staging of the 3-on-3 basketball tournament at the Ugnayang La Salle gymnasium in the tournament supported by Mikasa and Molten Balls, and ANI AgriNurture Inc.

DLSU-Dasmarinas collected a total of 199 points for the overall crown, 41 points ahead of runner-up RTU, which garnered 158 points from their title conquests in women’s basketball, women’s table tennis and men’s and women’s taekwondo.

Philippine Merchant Marine School is third with 105 points after ruling men’s basketball and men’s volleyball.

Dollars For Scholars Phone-A-Thon Raises $7K

(Aurora, Ind.) – Sixty South Dearborn High School students spent part of their Sunday dialing local residents in order to raise money for scholarships.

When the annual South Dearborn Dollars For Scholars Phone-A-Thon had ended, the students had gathered $7,415 in pledges, said SDDFS Co-President Debbie Busching. The fundraising total could grow as donors send back their donations to the organization.

The donations will help fund scholarships for South Dearborn High School students. Since 1991, Dollars for Scholars has awarded more than $370,000 to 530 South Dearborn graduates pursuing a post-secondary education.

SDDFS’ next fundraiser is the 21^st Annual Run-and-Gun 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament on March 17 and 18 at South Dearborn High School.

Intel goes flash mob style to pimp Ultrabooks

(Credit:
Video screenshot by Bonnie Cha/CNET)

What the hell is an ultrabook?

That’s an excellent question that’s been raised by CNET editor Scott Stein, among others, and one Intel is trying to answer, in part, by going out and performing some flash mob-style theatrics.

The Pop-up Theater is an Intel ad campaign where a team of 60 individuals descend upon various spots around Los Angeles to wow passersby and unassuming individuals with messages splayed across a digital wall of ultrabooks.

Such stunts include standing in front of the Grauman’s Chinese Theater on Hollywood Blvd. to spell out “I heart Ultrabooks.” In another example, the team brings a virtual crowd to a game of 3-on-3 basketball by displaying shots of cheering fans whenever someone scores.

Each clip ends with the message “Transform your everyday,” and though admittedly fun and creative, it still doesn’t answer the question of what an ultrabook is exactly. Also, there appears to be a little astroturf campaigning going on, as these ads found their way to the in-boxes of numerous CNET editors today through a Bangalore, India-based company hired by an anonymous supplier to poll technology experts on their sentiments about ultrabooks.

In the past, Intel said ultrabooks need to be cool, fast, and inexpensive to appeal to consumers. What are your thoughts on ultrabooks?
