The roving pack of moms jumping and singing, running and clapping around McKinley Park three days a week is actually an organized exercise group -- Stroller Strides. It's a chance for moms to get in a workout and, at the same time, entertain their strollered kids with songs about 10 little monkeys and a farmer with a dog named Bingo. "We tend to live for our children and we neglect ourselves," says Alyssa Rose, the Stroller Strides trainer. "And it can be very challenging to leave your kids at a nursery at a gym." .

Celaya set for battle at Palma
This time, Celaya (28-3, 15 KOs) is set to fight April 21 at Palma High School in a show being dubbed as the first chapter in "The Trilogy of Celaya." His opponent has not yet been named. "Sometimes fighters are not in the right frame of mind," Celaya said Tuesday afternoon, explaining the most recent period of inactivity. "Sometimes you're not comfortable with the negotiations with the promoter." In other words, sometimes things happen - and sometimes they just don't. And lately, they just haven't. Since suffering a brutal loss to undefeated James "Spider" Webb in 2005, Celaya's career and personal life have suffered. Months after that loss on national TV, he was struck in the head by a shot from a pellet gun and was taken to a San Jose hospital by helicopter.

SANYO Projectors Used in Theatrical Screening of Canadian Film
CONCORD, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - April 19, 2007) - SANYO Canada has provided two digital projectors for the theatrical debut of the Canadian movie Crossing, starting on April 20 at the Carlton in Toronto and the Fifth Avenue in Vancouver.
SANYO manufactures 2K digital projectors specifically designed for cinematic use such as the PLV-HD2000N and PLV-HD150. The director of Crossing, Roger Larry, chose the SANYO PLC-XF46N for the theatrical debut. It features three large 1.8 inch, 1024 by 768 pixel LCDs to produce up to 12,000 lumens, with four UHP lamps producing 300 watts each. The XF46 can automatically switch to a long-life, low power, "failsafe" mode whenever a single lamp defect is detected. The use of low power, low cost UHP lamps results in overall running costs about half that of other systems in the same high brightness class.
