Jerry Lewis Telethon information

The Jerry Lewis Telethon to benefit MDA is kicking off tonight. You can check to see what channel the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon is on in your city.

This is always a tremendous event and definitely worth time spent watching. There are going to be celebrity guests, both young and old and plenty of live TV mishaps as usual.

Last year this event was able to generate $63.8 million for the much needed research. This year can hopefully shatter that.

If you would like to get involved with Jerry's Kids, you can visit the MDA site and find multiple options to help. They don't only need people to donate to Jerry's Kids, there are many other options to choose from.

Please help where you can.

Thank you

Wilson Hazing Case

This makes me sick. The boys charged in the Wilson Hazing case are getting off easy.

For those who have not heard about the case, 3 members of the Wilson Highschool Basketball team are said to have beaten and sadomized 3 members of the junior varsity team. Two of the victim's mothers have given details about the case. Apparently they were beaten and had "objects" forced into their rectums while still wearing their pants. Somehow I guess the "pants" make it less of an issue.

One of the alleged attackers is 18 and 2 are 16. They are reducing the charges from felony to misdomeanor. I don't get this. This is not an 18yr senior boy being accused of "endangering a child" because he is dating freshmen or sophomore, a fairly common accurance when I was in highschool. (Three of my girlfriends would have been charged under these circumstances.)

This is flat out assault and some could argue "rape". Would the same hold true if the victims were female? For our country's sake, I hope not.

More reason to vote for Obama in November.

Embed spreadsheets easily into your apps

ExtenXLS 360 is a wonderful tool that allows you to embed spreadsheets through any web application. (and it's FREE!!)

The ExtenXLS 360 CE's api (collaboration edition) makes embedding Web spreadsheets abreeze. You can easily create reports, dashboards, etc. with very minimal coding.

A Cellbinder API is also included allowing data mapped cells as web services. Sheetster is bundled with the ExtenXLS 360 server which brings a high level of security allowing you to have total control over your data.

Why should you check out ExtenXLS 360?

1st because I told you to and 2nd because it is a free program with an enormous amount of features that will assist any developer with web spreadsheets.
