The HSPD programs have several alumni in the NFL, including Ravens running back Ray Rice and offensive tackle Jared Gaither, Redskins cornerback Kevin Barnes and guard Edwin Williams, Dolphins cornerback Vontae Davis, Bills defensive end Aaron Maybin, and Lions wide receiver Derrick Williams.
Of course, it’s very unlikely any of the kids attending the clinic that week in Queens will ever make it to the league. They were frequently reminded of the long odds they face – and that strong character will serve them well in all walks of life.
In his opening speech, Horowitz told the players they were scheduled to have a special visitor three days later: the commissioner himself.
“I hope no issues in the NFL will keep him away,” Horowitz said, a bit ominously.
Nothing kept Goodell away, though he did have to field questions from reporters that evening about Titans quarterback Vince Young, who received a misdemeanor assault citation the previous weekend after a fight at a strip club.

It was in New York in 1973 that I discovered the work of the Greek poet CP Cavafy. He was gay and in the closet. His only outlet of self-expression was his poetry. He wrote: “From all the things I did and all the things I said let no one try to find out who I was … Later, in a more perfect society, someone else made just like me is certain to appear and act freely.” I wanted to agree with that but never thought it would apply to me.
In 2007 I resigned as chief executive of BP because I had made an untrue statement as to how I had met a boyfriend with whom I had broken up after an extended affair. He had sold his embellished tale to the Mail on Sunday. I attempted to keep it from publication, and in doing so I told a fabricated story (that I had met him running in Battersea Park, rather than through an escort agency) because I felt threatened about coming out. It was the same fear that had prevented me from going out to meet men in the usual way at parties, clubs and so on.

On This Day in History: July 16Brooklynâs Barbara Stanwyck is Bornby Brooklyn Eagle (edit@brooklyneagle.net), published online 07-16-2010
Superstar Barbara Stanwyck, growing up in a Brooklyn slum, had to be tough and capitalized on it â she made it work for her in a variety of characterizations that have enriched great movies and enhanced ordinary ones.
Her roles have included a con artist, jewel thief, reporter, stripper, moll, pioneer, society lady, killer, taxi dancer, eyewitness, rancher, dizzy debutante, nurse, evangelist, concert pianist, gambler, imposter, wife, mother, daughter, the other woman, white squaw, lesbian madam, and matriarch.
She was born Ruby Stevens on the morning of July 16, 1907 at 246 Classon Ave. (near present Pratt Institute) in Brooklyn, to Byron and Catherine McGee Stevens. She was of Scotch-Irish descent.
Her father was a tall, gaunt laborer who was then unemployed. Her mother had been in ill health for months. There were three older sisters, Maude, Mabel and Mildred and an older brother Malcolm.
Classon Avenue was near the Borden Milk plant. Down the street were the railroad tracks and the waterfront. It was a drab neighborhood in 1907 and a tough one.

Stamos Slams Convicted Extortionists
Actor JOHN STAMOS has spoken out after a couple was convicted of attempting to extort money from him, insisting he is “shocked” over allegations made about him during the trial.
