Forget LeBron: The real king of South Beach is Rony Seikalym And you thought this was the Summer of LeBron? More like Summer of Seikaly.

Jim Weber, LostLettermen.com:
.Here's a look at the current whereabouts of former Syracuse star Rony Seikaly:
Former Syracuse star Rony Seikaly was dubbed "The Spin Doctor" during his basketball career for his spin moves in the paint, but it's an even more fitting nickname for his new career: Spinning turntables. Said Seikaly of the nickname: "It's funny how it came together, but people are loving the fact that was my name as a basketball player as well."
That's right, the 6-foot-11 former college star and NBA big man is now a DJ. Don't believe us? Check out his website or watch him in action yourself. He's even signed with Subliminal Records and will release a new floor-friendly tune every month starting in July.
Having a hard time remembering Seikaly's playing career? Let's refresh your memory. Born in Lebanon, Seikaly grew up in Greece and got his big break at a summer camp when he caught the attention of a young Boston University head coach with an eye for talent named Rick Pitino.

Fadlallah was Lebanon's man in full
By Rami G. Khouri 

Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, Lebanon’s most influential Shiite Muslim leader who died in Beirut this past weekend, was a marja, or a source of emulation for Shiites, during his lifetime – just about the highest achievement a human being can attain in this world.
 

It would be doing Fadlallah a disservice only or mainly to see him as a gifted Shiite religious figure. His great achievement, I believe, was to provide a living example of the combination of the best qualities that any Arab or Muslim could aspire to in this era of great mediocrity, corruption, materialism, mindless violence and abuse of power throughout much of the Arab world.

Pope Welcomes Beatification of Lebanese Priest
VATICAN CITY, JUNE 27, 2010 (Zenit.org).- After praying the Angelus today with the crowds gathered in St. Peter's Square, Benedict XVI welcomed the beatification in Lebanon of Stephan Nehmé, a religious of the Lebanese Maronite Order. "I heartily rejoice with the Lebanese brothers and sisters," the Pope said, "and I entrust them with great affection to the protection of the new blessed." Archbishop Angelo Amato, the prefect of the Congregation for Saints' Causes, presided at today's beatification liturgy in Kfifan.

Stephen Nehmé (born Joseph) was known for his constant awareness of God's presence in his life. He was born in March 1889 in the town of Lehfed, in the Jbeil district, as the youngest of seven children. In 1905, two years after his father's death, Nehmé entered the novitiate of the Order of Maronites, in the Monastery of Sts. Cyprian and Justina in Kfifan. On Aug. 23, 1907, he made his monastic vows, taking the name Stephen after the patron saint of his birthplace.  Father Nehmé died Aug. 30, 1938, at the age of 49, of natural causes and was buried in the monastery at Kfifan, where his body remains intact.
