Italy Says Buon Giorno To Hardy

Dwight Hardy (and Daly Dose superfan Quinn Rochford for that matter) will need to find the Italian translation for "ball screen" in the immediate future.

That's because Hardy, yet another integral part of St. John's return to the NCAA Tournament after a nine-year hiatus, has become the second Red Storm player in the young Steve Lavin era to trade in his red and white colors for a professional jersey; providing further evidence that the miracle run put together by the Johnnies and their ten recently-graduated seniors continues to resonate far away from the corner of Union and Utopia. Hardy's signing with the Italian club Pistoia Basket comes just a few days after backcourt partner Paris Horne became the first Lavin product (and first Norm Roberts product, too) to take his talents to the next level when the versatile guard signed with BG Gottingen of the German Bundesliga. For the Bronx native, the decision to sign with Pistoia Basket, located just outside the historic city of Florence, was made with much more important and unselfish factors than his own success in mind.

“The first thing I want to do is get my mom out of the projects,” said Hardy, whose mother still calls the Bronx apartment building where Hardy was raised home. “That’s all I think about when I’m working out or doing anything with basketball, just provide a better life for my family.”

Hardy won the Big East’s Most Improved Player award this past season while, leading the Red Storm (21-12 in 2010-11) in scoring with an average of 18.3 points per game. He was also considered a Player of the Year candidate in the conference, an honor that was eventually bestowed upon Notre Dame’s Ben Hansbrough. Hardy posted fourteen 20-point games last season, including four games in which he eclipsed the 30-point mark.

Head coach Steve Lavin has yet to comment on this momentous occasion, but fans of the Johnnies can rest assured that the charismatic head man will have nothing but positive things to say about the player that, arguably, had the best breakout season of any player in the country.

Ramadan 2011 Message of PNoy

Ramadan 2011, a holy month observed by our Muslim brothers in which they refrain from taking in food and fluids during daylight, officially starts today. The end of Ramadan ( Eid’l Fitr) will be on August 30, 2011 which has been previously declared a national holiday by the Malacañang.

In connection with the religious event, President Noynoy (PNoy) Aquino has released his message to the Filipino Muslim community. Check out the PNoy's message below courtesy of the Official Gazette.

Message of His Excellency Benigno S. Aquino III to the Philippine Islamic community on the observance of the Holy Month of Ramadhan

I extend my heartfelt salaam to the Muslim-Filipino community, as you observe the holy month of Ramadhan.

Your devotion to perform the essential requisites of Islam, such as the holy fasting, is an inspiring deed that attests to your reverence for the Almighty. Your steadfastness in your sacrifice during the 29 days of Ramadhan is also by itself an opportunity for enlightenment. Apart from being a personal quest of faith, Ramadhan serves as a representation of peace, as Muslims around the world embody the spirit of solidarity in this moment of glorification. I am thus heartened by how this religious event demonstrates the readiness of Muslims to be humbled by abstinence. I am confident that we remain united by our common endeavor to attain lasting stability.

I wish the Muslim-Filipino community a renewal that transcends this holy month. Our fellow countrymen are one with you in contemplating the importance of serenity in the fulfillment of our spiritual obligations.

Today (August 1) is also the death anniversary of former presidents Corazon Aquion (2009) and Manuel Quezon (1944).
