NASA have decided they will beam “Across the Universe” across the galaxy to Polaris, the North Star.

Truly impeccable. Who knows, aliens might give in and share some of their music.

“Send my love to the aliens,” Paul McCartney told NASA through a Beatles historian. “All the best, Paul.”

Congratulations to Sta.Lucia Realtors for winning Game Seven of the recently concluded 2007-2008 Smart PBA Philippine Cup.

Dennis the Menace Espino won the Finals MVP for great leadership, scoring 10 of his 29points in a pivotal 11-o run that took the life out of the Giants.

The youth brigade held their own against seasoned veterans.

“I am very happy that I finally gave Sta. Lucia a first all-Filipino championship,” Sta. Lucia coach Boyet Fernandez said. It was indeed the clubs first All-Filipino championship. It is worth noting that Sta.Lucia before is an advocate of homegrown players.

Best player of the conference, Kelly Williams had his 22nd double-double effort via 17points and 15 boards.

It was really a night for the King Tiger.

After back-to-back three pointers from James Yap, the Menace uncorked an 11-0 blast to push the Realtors by ten, 90-80 with 2:45 remaining.

Purefoods never recovered from then on.

Rookie Ryan Reyes contributed 12, while wingman Nelbert Omolon and Aquino added 11 points apiece.

Fans’ turnout was pegged at 18,167, the biggest since the 18,287 that watched Game 6 of the 2005 Philippine Cup Finals between eventual champion Barangay Ginebra opposite Talk ’N Text.

Sta. Lucia 100 — Espino 29, Williams 17, Reyes 12, Omolon 11, Aquiono 11, Yeo 9, Gonzales 7, Miranda 4, Coronel 0, Daa 0.

Purefoods 88 — Simon 27, Yap J. 21, Raymundo 11, Yap R. 9, Pingris 7, Salvador 5, Adducul 4, Lanete 2, Yee 2, Evangelista 0, Castillo 0.

Quarters: 18-21, 44-45, 71-70, 100-88.

Sta. Lucia 18 26 27 29 — 100.
