The Chestnut Hill College and Mount St. Joseph Academy booters will both be under new management when their pre-season training begins later this month.
The incoming head coach for the Chestnut Hill College Griffins, Sandy Dickson, brings a distinguished record as longtime skipper of another NCAA Division II program, Bloomsburg University, and the new Mount mentor is Cathleen Culp, a former assistant at Christopher Dock High School who has coached club teams at many places in the U.S. and abroad.
When Sandy Dickson left her position at Bloomsburg back in May, Chestnut Hill College had a highly successful women's soccer coach of its own. Five seasons into his tenure, Seamus O'Connor had the Griffins on the upswing, guiding them to the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference tournament in each of the last two years and picking up the CACC's Coach of the Year Award in 2009. His accomplishments attracted the attention of Temple University, who snapped him up and named him an assistant coach for its NCAA Division I program.
Before that, Dickson had signed on as CHC's Director of Fitness and Recreation. She would preside over the college's new fitness center, which will open at the end of the summer. When O'Connor departed, Chestnut Hill found itself looking for a fall team coach at a very late stage, and was fortunate to already have Dickson on the staff in another role. A search committee interviewed other prospects, but she was clearly the best candidate.
A New Jersey native, Dickson remained in the Garden State to play collegiate soccer for Rutgers University, where she graduated in 1994. Positioned in the midfield, she helped the Scarlet Knights win three Eastern College Athletic Conference championships and rise as high as 13th in the NCAA Division I poll.
She started her college coaching career as an assistant at Bloomsburg, where she earned a master's degree in exercise science. After three years on the staff she was named head coach, and piloted the program from 1998 to 2010. In her third season with the Huskies they reached the NCAA quarterfinals, and last fall they also earned a spot in the NCAA's, winning their opening-round match.
Within the Pa. State Athletic Conference (PSAC), Dickson's teams qualified for the postseason tournament 10 times and won the conference championship twice.
Culp, the new leader at Mount St. Joe's, grew up in the mountains of western Virginia and played club soccer at Penn State before the Nittany Lions established an intercollegiate program. She was a midfielder there, but also played goalie for some outside club teams.
She graduated in 1985 and now has two grown children, including a son who played soccer at Kutztown University.
Her husband is a Navy man, and that meant a lot of moving around for Culp, who coached boys and girls club travel teams in Virginia Beach and in Connecticut. The family even lived in Portugal for a time, and Culp guided some soccer teams at the American School in Lisbon while she was there.
Moving to the Philadelphia area in 2005, she began to train players belonging to Glenside's Hunter Soccer Club, in addition to taking on the role of assistant coach at Christopher Dock. Recently, she met with a number of the Mount St. Joseph players while the captains were conducting some informal summer workouts.
"I was impressed with the girls; they seem to be self-motivated," she remarked. "I asked all of the seniors to take on a leadership role, even if it didn't come naturally at first, and they responded in a very positive way."
Returning as JV coach and a varsity assistant will be Erica Toennies, a former Mount player herself.
"I'm not tied to a particular style or system," Culp said. "My approach is that you evaluate the players you have and then you use a formation that makes the best use of their abilities. I hope my passion for the game comes through to the girls, and that it will carry over to the way we perform on the field."

Chairman, U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission
Chairman Shelby, Ranking Member Sarbanes and Members of the Committee:
Thank you for inviting me to testify today on the Securities and Exchange Commission's recent initiatives to enhance investor protections in our securities markets. Since its creation in 1934, the SEC's mandate has been to protect investors and ensure the integrity of America's securities markets. That mandate has taken on even greater importance in recent years, as increasing numbers of people have become equity investors. With more than 95 million Americans invested in mutual funds, representing approximately 54 million U.S. households, and a combined $6.5 trillion in assets, mutual funds are a vital part of this nation's economy. While much of the public focus over the last few years has been on events surrounding public companies, the Commission has undertaken an aggressive agenda to identify and address challenges in the mutual fund industry, an agenda that helps us to protect this vital segment of our investing public.
I would like to highlight some important actions we have recently taken to help ensure that mutual fund investors have the information they need to make their investment decisions.
Fund Advertising. Just last week, we adopted rule amendments to modernize mutual fund advertising requirements to encourage more responsible advertising. The new amendments require that fund advertisements state that investors should consider a fund's fees before investing. The amendments also require advertisements to include information about the fund's investment objectives and risks, as well as an explanation that the prospectus contains this and other important information about the fund. The amendments also strengthen the antifraud protections that apply to fund advertising and encourage fund advertisements to provide information to investors that is more balanced and informative, particularly in the area of investment performance, so that investors have access to up-to-date performance information.
In addition to rulemaking initiatives, the Commission has engaged in educational efforts to caution investors against the dangers of overemphasizing fund performance in investment decisions. These efforts included publishing an investor alert on the Commission's website that explains the importance of looking beyond past performance in making investment decisions. We also placed a "cost calculator" on our website that allows investors to compute the impact of fees and expenses of various funds on their performance and facilitates comparison of funds.
Fund of Funds. The Commission also last week proposed for public comment new rules under the Investment Company Act that would broaden the ability of one fund to acquire shares of another fund, so called "funds of funds". These funds often are used as asset allocation vehicles for a fund to gain exposure to a sector of the market by investing in another fund. This proposal also included recommended amendments that would improve the transparency of the expenses of funds that invest in other funds by requiring that the expenses of the acquired funds be aggregated and shown as an additional expense in the fee table of the acquiring funds, thereby giving investors in these funds more complete information about expenses.
Proxy Voting. In January, the Commission adopted rules that require mutual funds to disclose their proxy voting records. These rules enable fund shareholders to monitor their funds' involvement in the governance activities of portfolio companies. Under the rule, funds are required to file their proxy voting record with the Commission, which will make it publicly available through the EDGAR system. The rules also require mutual funds to disclose in their registration statements the policies and procedures they use to determine how to vote proxies related to portfolio securities. Funds have already begun complying with this requirement, and they are required to start filing their proxy voting reports next year.
Sarbanes-Oxley Requirements. In addition to Commission initiatives, mutual funds also are subject to the corporate governance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In each rule we have proposed and/or adopted under the Act, we have applied the corporate governance requirements to both operating companies and mutual funds, with some tailoring for the unique aspects of mutual funds. These rules include the rules on CEO and CFO certification requirements, code of ethics requirements, disclosure of audit committee financial experts, auditor independence and, most recently, audit committee listing standards. This last rule, adopted as part of a broader rulemaking regarding audit committee standards, applies only to listed companies and therefore includes only exchange-traded funds, or listed closed-end funds. The rule directs the exchanges and NASDAQ to prohibit the listing of any security of an issuer in violation of new standards of audit committee responsibility and independence.
In addition to these rule-making activities, we have a number of other initiatives in the pipeline.
Breakpoint Disclosure. We anticipate taking action to improve the disclosure of breakpoint discounts, which are discounts on front-end sales loads based on the aggregate amount of purchases of a fund's shares. Funds that offer breakpoint discounts must disclose the breakpoints and related procedures in their offering documents. Brokers that sell shares of funds that offer discounts have an obligation to help ensure that shareholders are receiving those discounts. Late last year, however, the staffs of the NASD and the SEC identified concerns regarding breakpoints. The staffs discovered that many fund investors were not receiving the appropriate discounts. The SEC and NASD took swift action - reminding funds and brokers of their obligations, requiring brokers to assess the extent of the problem, and directing the industry to convene a task force to address the problem. In July, a Joint NASD/Industry Report on Breakpoints was released containing recommendations to assure that investors receive available discounts on mutual fund shares subject to front-end sales loads.
The Breakpoint Report contains a number of recommendations to limit the problems associated with the provision of breakpoint discounts, as well as to improve the disclosure of breakpoint opportunities. I have directed the staff to draft a rule for Commission consideration consistent with these recommendations to help ensure that investors receive the appropriate discounts in the future. In addition, the NASD and SEC staffs continue to monitor and quantify the problem and have directed firms that have failed to provide the appropriate breakpoints in the past to compensate and make whole any affected investor. We and the NASD also will continue to investigate, and where warranted, will bring enforcement actions in this area.
Shareholder Report Disclosure of Operating Expenses. We have also proposed additional disclosure to increase investors' understanding of the expenses they incur when investing in a mutual fund. Under this proposal, mutual funds would be required to disclose in their shareholder reports the "dollar amount" of fund expenses paid by shareholders on a prescribed investment amount -- based on both the fund's actual expenses and return for the period, as well as the fund's actual expenses for the period based on an assumed return of 5 percent per year. By using both these measures, the dollar disclosure would enable investors to determine the amount of fees they paid on an ongoing basis, as well to compare the amount of fees charged by other funds. The goal of the proposal is to educate investors and to encourage cost competition among funds. This proposal also would require more frequent disclosure of portfolio holdings (i.e., quarterly rather than semi-annually) to enhance investor understanding of the securities in the fund's portfolio so that investors can make better asset allocation decisions. I expect the Commission to consider adopting these new requirements in the near future.
Highlighting Broker Incentives and Conflicts of Interest. Another area we are looking at is how to increase investor understanding of the incentives and conflicts that broker-dealers have in offering mutual fund shares to investors. Initiatives we are considering in this area include a comprehensive revision of mutual fund confirmation form requirements. I envision that a revised confirmation would include information about revenue sharing arrangements, incentives for selling in-house funds and other inducements for brokers to sell fund shares that may not be immediately transparent to fund investors.
In addition to its disclosure initiatives, the Commission has focused its rulemaking efforts on fund governance and internal compliance issues. Although we have focused on these issues for some time, recent events in the mutual fund industry underscore the importance of funds' maintaining appropriate measures to ensure their adherence to both the letter and spirit of the federal securities laws.
Mutual Fund Compliance Rule. In February, the Commission published for comment proposed rules aimed at ensuring better compliance with regulations governing mutual funds. These rules would mandate that funds and investment advisers maintain comprehensive compliance policies, and procedures reasonably designed to prevent violations of the federal securities laws. The rules also require that funds designate a chief compliance officer. While the proposal does not enumerate specific elements funds must include in their compliance programs - as funds are too varied in their operations for us to impose a single list of required elements - it is designed to ensure that policies and procedures are in place to lessen the likelihood of securities law violations and detect any violations that do occur.
Consequently, we would expect funds to have policies and procedures to address pricing of portfolio securities and fund shares; processing of fund shares on a timely basis; portfolio management processes, including allocation of investment opportunities among clients; the accuracy of disclosures made to investors in fund prospectuses (disclosures that would include representations regarding market timing policies and procedures); and processes to value client holdings and assess fees based on those valuations.
While we expect that these rules would help protect investors by improving day-to-day compliance with the federal securities laws, the rules should also increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the Commission's mutual fund examination program. Our oversight is predicated on the assumption that those who manage mutual funds have procedures to comply with the law. While the proposal would codify the prudent compliance practices already followed by most fund complexes, in some cases mutual funds have few compliance controls in place or have gaps in their controls. These proposals are intended to raise the standard of compliance among all mutual funds, and I expect the Commission will consider adoption of these requirements later this fall.
Director Nomination Rules. We have also included mutual funds in initiatives to increase shareholder participation in the director nomination process. Last month we proposed rule changes to strengthen disclosure requirements relating to the nomination of directors and shareholder communications with directors. The proposals apply to both operating companies and mutual funds.
The proposals would require a fund to disclose additional information regarding its process of nominating directors, including whether members of the nominating committee are "interested persons" of the fund; a fund's process for identifying and evaluating candidates; whether a fund considers candidates for director nominees put forward by shareholders; and whether a fund has rejected candidates put forward by large long-term shareholders or groups of shareholders. The proposals would also require a fund to disclose information regarding shareholder communications with directors, including whether the fund has a process for such communications and the procedures shareholders should follow; whether the communications are screened; and whether material actions have been taken as a result of shareholder communications in the last fiscal year.
The proposed rules implement the first part of the recommendations of a Commission Staff Report issued on July 15, 2003, regarding improvements to the proxy process. The enhanced disclosure provided by the proposal should benefit fund shareholders by improving the transparency of the nominating process and board operations, as well as increasing shareholders' understanding of the funds in which they invest. The Staff Report also recommends under certain circumstances that major-long-term shareholders, or groups of shareholders, be provided access to proxy materials to nominate directors where there are objective criteria indicating that shareholders may not have had adequate input in the proxy process. I expect that we will propose rules to implement this recommendation shortly, and that they will apply with equal force to mutual funds.
I understand the Committee is interested in getting an update on a few other issues for today's hearing, so let me briefly bring you up to speed in those areas.
Since June of last year, the SEC staff has conducted a comprehensive study focusing on the investor protection implications of the significant growth of hedge funds in recent years. As part of that study, the staff reviewed documents from 65 hedge fund advisers managing more than 650 different hedge funds with more than $160 billion of assets. The staff also visited hedge fund advisers and prime brokers and conducted a series of examinations of registered funds of hedge funds. Finally, the staff benefited from views expressed at a highly successful two-day Roundtable we held at the Commission, during which a variety of experts discussed key aspects of hedge fund operations, as well as the views contained in approximately 80 public letters we received commenting on the roundtable discussion and hedge fund issues.
When I testified before you in April, the study was still at the fact gathering stage and the staff had not reached any conclusions. Just yesterday, however, the Commission released a staff report (the "Report") that outlines the staff's factual findings, identifies concerns and recommends certain regulatory and other actions to improve the current system of hedge fund regulation and oversight.
Let me emphasize at this time that this is a staff report. The next step is for the Commission to consider these recommendations to determine how we may wish to proceed. Any recommendation that the Commission determines to act upon will require us to go through the appropriate administrative process, so rest assured that investors, market participants, and other interested persons will have ample opportunity to comment upon any of the recommendations that the Commission chooses to pursue. However, I would like to highlight for you today some of the staff's findings and its primary recommendation.
In its Report, the staff identifies a number of areas of concern regarding hedge funds: (i) lack of Commission information about hedge funds and their advisers' activities; (ii) lack of prescribed and uniform disclosure by hedge fund advisers; (iii) valuation and other conflict of interest issues; (iv) the potential for increased investment by less sophisticated investors, directly or indirectly, in hedge funds; and (v) despite the relatively low absolute number, an increase in the number of enforcement actions regarding hedge fund advisers. Many of these concerns arise from the unregulated status of hedge funds, which generally allows them to operate without Commission oversight. Consequently, the primary recommendation of the staff is that the Commission should consider revising its rules to require that hedge fund advisers register under the Advisers Act. While I am looking forward to studying the staff's Report and the recommendations contained in it before drawing any conclusions, I will say, as I have before, that I believe that the Commission needs to have a means of examining hedge funds and how they operate. Speaking only for myself, I believe that registration of hedge fund advisers would accomplish this.
While I am on the topic of hedge funds, let me update you about our involvement in recent allegations regarding a hedge fund's practices in late trading mutual funds, as well as questions concerning funds' permitting market timers to arbitrage the funds, which underscore the importance of the SEC's ongoing review of the hedge fund and mutual fund industries. Both of these activities have the potential to harm long-term investors in mutual funds.
The conduct alleged in the case involving Canary Capital, an unregistered hedge fund, is reprehensible and in violation of fiduciary principles. We have put in motion an action plan to vigorously investigate this matter, assess the scope of the problem and hold any wrongdoers accountable, and we'll do so in close coordination with State regulators.
Already, we have filed a civil action against Theodore Sihpol, a salesperson at Bank of America Securities, who was Canary Capital's primary contact at Bank of America. Our examiners and enforcement staff are actively investigating this matter, not only the extent to which the allegations in this particular case are true, but also whether this conduct occurs at other firms in the securities industry. I want to emphasize that we will aggressively pursue those who have injured investors as a result of illegal late-trading and/or market-timing activity and, where possible, to seek recompense for these investors in connection with mutual fund transactions.
Additionally, the Commission's staff has sent detailed information requests to registered prime brokerage firms, other large broker-dealers, transfer agents, and the 80 largest mutual fund complexes in the country seeking information on their policies and practices relating to market timing and late trading. Specifically, we are using our examination authority to obtain information from mutual funds and broker-dealers regarding their pricing of mutual fund orders and adherence to their stated policies regarding market timing. We also have sought information from mutual funds susceptible to market timing regarding their use of fair value pricing procedures to combat this type of activity.
More broadly, I believe that the industry must take steps to review its own conduct. To that end, I sent letters to major trade associations for the mutual fund and broker-dealer industries asking them to notify their members to review and reassess their procedures relating to the handling of mutual fund investments in accordance with applicable law.
While our enforcement efforts are a key tool in protecting the nation's investors, another critical tool is regulation to minimize the potential for abuses to occur in the first place. We will consider what we learn from the investigation to determine whether we should pursue additional regulatory measures to thwart this type of activity. Specifically, our staff is studying whether we need to take additional steps to (1) pursue measures to prevent the circumvention of forward-pricing requirements for fund shares and market timing restrictions, (2) require funds to have written policies and procedures to address short-term trading in their shares, (3) require improved disclosure regarding market timing procedures, (4) provide funds with additional tools to deter market timing activity, and (5) address concerns related to the selective disclosure of fund portfolio information.
I would now like to turn to an issue that is important both from a regulatory standpoint and from the standpoint of the investing public: the critical need for sound governance practices by self-regulatory organizations. I believe that self-regulatory organizations should be exemplars of good governance. At a minimum, SROs should demand of themselves the same high standards of governance that the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq proposed for their listed issuers in the wake of several widely publicized corporate scandals. To further that goal, this past March I directed each self-regulatory organization to undertake a review of its own governance practices.
Since then, disclosure of the pay package awarded to the former Chairman of the New York Stock Exchange has heightened the scrutiny that the Commission, the securities industry, the investing public, and the media are paying to exchange governance standards that reflect the highest commitment to independent and transparent decision-making. Prior to the current controversy, the NYSE and a few other self-regulatory organizations instituted special governance committees to further study how their structures and processes might be improved. I applaud these efforts but I believe that more remains to be done. I have assurances that the NYSE's new interim Chairman, John Reed, will reexamine these governance issues in more depth. I look forward to working with Mr. Reed on this important initiative.
Our securities markets are the strongest in the world. They have earned this position not only because they have the largest issuers, the greatest depth and liquidity, the most capital, and efficient execution systems - they also have a high degree of investor confidence. I intend to assure that investors can have a strong sense of trust and confidence in our exchanges. To this end, the Commission and its staff will be working diligently with the SROs to craft a regulatory environment that sets a high bar for sound and rigorous governance practices.
Finally, the Committee requested an update, since my testimony on May 7, on the status of the research analyst global settlement, the SEC's portion of which was filed with a federal court on April 28, 2003. As described in the Commission's May 7 testimony, the global settlement would impose significant monetary relief, require the firms to make structural reforms to their research and investment banking operations, require the firms to provide customers with independent third-party research, and establish an investor education fund.
Since the filing of the proposed settlement agreement with the federal court, U.S. District Court Judge William H. Pauley III has issued a series of orders requesting that the parties - both the Commission and the participating firms - submit additional information to the Court relating to the terms of the settlement. Those orders, dated June 2 and July 3, address a range of issues. Among the issues addressed were:
The Commission and the firms filed responses to the Court's orders, and the proposed global settlement remains pending before the Court. Nevertheless, the Commission staff believes that, in anticipation of the Court's approval of the settlement, firms are moving forward with preparations to implement the settlement requirements. Moreover, the staff of the Commission will respond to any future inquiries from the Court, and will work to have the global settlement implemented as soon as possible.
Thank you again for inviting me to speak on behalf of the Commission and the investing public. We at the Commission take our responsibility of protecting our nation's investors very seriously. I welcome the opportunity to share our current initiatives with you, and I would be pleased to answer any questions that you may have.

AT&T will acquire wireless properties, including licenses, network assets and 1.5 million current subscribers in 79 service areas, primarily in rural areas across 18 states.
Verizon Wireless is required to divest these properties as part of the regulatory approvals granted for its purchase of Alltel earlier this year.
The states represented include Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Alabama, California, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia and Wyoming.
As a result, the subscribers in these service areas will be able to enjoy the benefits of AT&T's 3G broadband network. AT&T has the nation's fastest 3G network, now available in nearly 350 major metropolitan areas, with 20 more planned by the end of the year.
AT&T's 3G broadband wireless network, combined with its industry-leading Wi-Fi network, make AT&T the leader in mobile broadband services, giving customers easy access to the people and applications they want to reach, across the country and around the world.
AT&T provides Wi-Fi access at nearly 20,000 hotspots in the U.S., including Starbucks and Barnes & Noble locations, and at more than 80,000 retail, restaurant, hotel, airport and other locations globally.
AT&T's wireless subscribers with 3G LaptopConnect cards and qualified smartphone plans get unlimited Wi-Fi access at AT&T's U.S. hotspots at no additional charge.
After operations transition to AT&T, the primarily rural subscribers added through this transaction will be able to experience mobile broadband on all the smartphones AT&T offers.
AT&T leads the industry in smartphones — including iPhone 3G — and also allows subscribers to access AT&T's 3G and Wi-Fi networks using the nation's leading lineup of ultralight netbooks with embedded wireless capabilities for greater portability and convenience.
AT&T also offers the best wireless coverage worldwide, offering the most phones — including the BlackBerry® Bold — that work in the most countries, with voice calling in more than 215 countries and data service in more than 170 — including 3G data service in more than 80 countries.
Because AT&T operates on GSM, the undisputed global technology standard for wireless services, its subscribers enjoy the convenience of using their handsets nearly anywhere in the world.
"Wireless continues to be AT&T's greatest growth driver, and this transaction will complement our existing network coverage, particularly in rural areas," said Ralph de la Vega, president and CEO, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets.
"The acquisition will add network assets, distribution channels and 850 MHz spectrum in a significant portion of the U.S., enabling even better coverage for AT&T's subscribers in those areas.
"The subscribers who join the AT&T family will realize significant benefits, including access to AT&T's 3G broadband network — the nation's fastest — and to an industry-leading lineup of iconic devices — from the latest smartphones for business users to quick messaging phones for texting teens."
Under terms of the agreement, AT&T will purchase the assets for $2.35 billion in cash. The transaction primarily represents former Alltel assets, but it also includes assets from Verizon Wireless and the former Rural Cellular Corporation.
AT&T expects integration costs for network conversion, amortization of intangible assets and subscriber migration to result in dilution to EPS of approximately $0.06 per share in the first year after closing and to improve thereafter.
Network conversion from Verizon's CDMA network to GSM technology and transition of the operations to AT&T is expected to take no longer than 12 months from the date the transaction closes and to result in an additional planned capital investment of approximately $400 million over 2009 and 2010.
The transaction adds customers and enhances network coverage and is expected to deliver substantial long-term stockholder value. Wireless is the largest growth driver and value creator in the telecommunications industry, and this acquisition continues AT&T's strong track record of investing in growth.
In 2008 AT&T's capital investments totaled $20.3 billion, more than three-quarters of which supported mobility and data, the company's key growth areas.
The transaction is contingent upon regulatory approval and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2009.

The completely redesigned crankset represents increased rigidity as well as fresh and cutting edge aesthetics.
Gone are the days of having a dedicated bolt pattern for standard chainrings and another for compact rings. No longer will changing from traditional to compact, or vice versa, translate into the obligatory purchase of a completely new crankset.
The new bolt pattern allows for all 3 chainring standards 53/39, 52/36 and 50/34 to be built upon the same crankset. Changing between compact and standard is now as easy as changing 8 bolts and two chainrings. While the new 4-arm bolt pattern makes for a much more practical design that offers the cyclist a more versatile component, the Campy Tech Lab was dedicated primarily on increasing performance characteristics.
The new design incorporates a 8 bolt pattern with a spider arm design that not only holds the chainring in place by way of the bolt but also supports the chainring and in doing so, increases system rigidity. In addition to completely redesigning the spider, Campagnolo engineers dedicated a great deal of energy towards a completely new crankarm that is a great deal stiffer than previous versions. Add this new highly rigid crankarm to the new four-arm spider design and you have a complete crankset that not only excels at transferring power more than any previous version but one that is also more versatile with respect to gearing.

- Australian Open, Day Three
Watson returns from the precipice to beat Pervak
Heather Watson was at her stubborn best as she saved three consecutive match points to win a three-hour epic with Ksenia Pervak in the second round of the Australian Open.
Watson, who now meets world No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska in round three, found herself 6-3 down in a second set tiebreaker, having already lost the first set. However, she battled back to force the match to a decider, eventually winning 4-6 7-6(7) 6-2.
The British No. 1 is treading new ground at the Australian Open, having never been this far in the competition, and for the majority of the opening two sets she appeared to allow the magnitude of the occasion affect her. There were 35 unforced errors from both players in the first set alone, and only nine winners.
Crucially, both of those statistics fell slightly in Pervak's favour, allowing her to break three times to two and establish an advantage. Yet more was to come.
The second set produced 65 unforced errors as both players let out shrieks of frustration at their inability to find a rhythm. Watson almost boiled over at one stage as she allowed set point to slip away in the tenth game.
It went to a tiebreaker, where Pervak roared into a 6-3 lead, setting up three match points. Watson's best quality, however, is surely her grit and determination when her back is against the wall, and she saved all three en route to a 9-7 tiebreak victory.
The pivotal moment had arrived, with Pervak's energy drained. Watson was in the ascendency and back-to-back breaks saw the Brit to a 3-0 lead in the decider. The only threat to victory now was her own fitness as she limped back to her chair at the changeover.
Her fans need not have worried as, for the first time in the match, Watson gained control of her game - rattling off ten winners to Pervak's one. Victory eventually arrived in three hours and two minutes, with the almighty test of Radwanska up next.

About Running With Scissors
Based on the personal memoirs of Augusten Burroughs, RUNNING WITH SCISSORS is a wickedly funny, brave and moving tale of surviving a most unusual childhood. Augusten's (Joseph Cross) mother (Annette Bening) is a deluded aspiring post with bipolar disorder whose marriage to his dad (Alec Baldwin) is in ruins. Soon, she is seeing a very eccentric therapist named Dr. Finch (Brian Cox), while Augusten is left in the care of Finch's wacky family, including his tightly-wound daughter (Gwyneth Paltrow). Abandoned by his parents and adopted by the Finches, he finds a kindred spirit in youngest daughter Natalie (Evan Rachel Wood) and motherly support from Finch's long suffering wife Agnes (Jill Clayburgh). Constantly recording the events of his life in his journals as a way to cope, Augusten finds himself avoiding school, learning about love from an older man (Joseph Fiennes), and making big decisions at the tender age of fifteen.

Blues wait on Lampard scan
Frank Lampard should learn on Thursday whether he will miss Chelsea's top-of-the-table Barclays Premier League showdown with Manchester United after he lasted just 15 minutes of their first serious defeat of the season.
Lampard limped out of Tuesday night's 2-1 Champions League loss at Shakhtar Donetsk with a recurrence of the calf injury that ruled him out of England's World Cup qualifiers against San Marino and Poland and was set to undergo a scan to determine the extent of the problem.
The 34-year-old's withdrawal from Tuesday's damaging Group E defeat saw manager Roberto Di Matteo's game-plan go up in smoke, leaving Chelsea in danger of becoming the first holders to crash out of the competition before the knockout phase.
With John Terry resuming his domestic racism ban, vice-captain Lampard's absence against United on Sunday could leave Di Matteo with another headache in a game the Blues will be desperate to win to open up a seven-point gap on their opponents.
Confirming the midfielder would undergo a scan on Wednesday, Di Matteo said: "It's basically a recurrence of an old injury.
"He was training with us fine and there were no alarm bells before the game. He was in good condition to play."
Di Matteo admitted the loss of Lampard last night threw his masterplan into disarray as Chelsea lost for the first time since their UEFA Super Cup thrashing by Atletico Madrid.
The result also came at a time of the season when the Blues have traditionally suffered a slump, but Di Matteo added: "It's a team that has always shown the character after a defeat and I don't think the previous years should affect the way we are playing this season or where we are this year.
"We are doing everything we can to prevent that as well. The team is in good physical condition and also we have a good squad, so we'll try to utilise everybody that we can."

Aboriginal youth suicide is often understood as a (mental) health crisis, so that prevention efforts are designed to promote the early recognition and intervention that is appropriate for any biological disease. This article redefines Aboriginal youth suicide as a community crisis with a social cause (i.e., the impacts of colonization) and cultural "cure" rooted in the reclaiming of wellness through the contemporary expression of traditional values. Using the "Through the Pain to Wellness: Community-Based Suicide Prevention Program" (which has served Aboriginal communities across Canada for the last 20 years) as an example, an introduction to suicide pre-/inter-/post-vention using a post-colonial community resource model in offered. The program provides a blend of post-colonial consciousness raising (to enhance empowerment), mental health promotion (to enhance awareness), intervention skills training (to enhance capacity), and community development (to enhance wellness) in order to mobilize communities as they develop and implement a strengths-based suicide prevention strategy to promote individual, family, and community resilience in the face of suicide.

A Second Chance At Love
Valentine's Day, the most romantic day of the year (for some). This day started off great the girls had so much fun getting ready for their dates for this holiday that when each got a call from their boyfriends telling them that they would be a little late, one excuse was "I have to work" another excuse was "I'm running late hon I'll call you later" but when the girls ended up eating cheesecake in their evening dresses each remember back to when they first had gotten married to their husbands.
"Oh, Dorothy you don't have a date for Valentine's Day?" Blanche asked as she walked into the kitchen where Dorothy was eating some cheesecake and looking really bummed out.
"No, no Luis is running a little late so i'm waiting for him to call me." Dorothy said eating another piece of cake.
"What happened to Ryan?" Dorothy asked wondering why Blanche is still in the house all dressed up.
"He's running late at work but he said he will pick me up soon.
Blanche sat down and cut herself a slice of cheesecake also looking bummed about still being home on the most special day.
As Blanche and Dorothy sulked about their dates being late Sophia walks in the kitchen all dressed up and still waiting for her date to call or arrive to pick her up.
"Oh, ma do you not have a date for this evening?" Dorothy asked
"I do, he just hasn't called me yet" Sophia said walking over to the fridge and taking out some milk to drink. "So what happened to your dates, I thought you two would be gone by now or at least Blanche would be on her back by this time." Sophia insults to Blanche didn't make an impact because Blanche wasn't paying attention to what she was saying.
"What Sophia?" Blanche asked after eating another piece of cake.
"So where is Rose? Did she leave yet?" Sophia asked sitting down at the table.
"I don't know, I guess she left already" Dorothy said looking at her watch to see what time it was. "It's getting late, how long does it take to close a deal?"
"Based on experience usually 15 minutes debating on how fast he's willing to finished." Blanche blurted out.
"Yeah, you would know" Sophia said wondering why everyone is so depressed.
After a few minutes has passed Rose walked in the kitchen.
"Oh, you girls are still here?" Rose asked dressed up in her evening wear.
"You look beautiful Rose" Blanche said looking up at Rose as she stood watching everyone eat cheesecake and sulk over their dates.
"Thank you, so what happened to your dates?" Rose wanted to know because after a fabulous evening with Robert she was worn out from dancing and parting the last two hours.
"Why are we all sulking, why don't we just forget about our dates and just have a good time here talking and eating cheesecake.?" Dorothy was angry about how her evening went that she wanted to cheer herself, Blanche and Sophia up so she decided to just forget about her plans and talk.
"So, how was your evening Rose?" Dorothy asked smiling up at Rose who was getting a slice of cheesecake.
"It was wonderful, Robert took me to Southern Lights where we ate and danced." Rose said while eating a piece of cake and smiling remember the great time she had on this evening.
"That's so sweet of Robert to take you to Southern Lights. I've been wanting to go there for a long time but haven't, I don't know why though it looks like a great place." Blanche said finally smiling after being depressed about her date blowing her off again.
"Yeah, it was great Robert was great he's just a great guy i'm starting to fall for him." Rose said daydreaming about maybe moving things along with Robert and possibly date him more or try and become his girlfriend.
"Aw, that's great honey it's great that you found someone that you like and who likes you. I'm very happy for you!" Blanche was a bit envious about Rose's new found romance with Robert that she 'thinking to herself" wondered if she would ever find someone again after George. George was the only man that Blanche truly loved and she now realizes that after all this time playing around with so many men that maybe the second mister right would come along again.
"I wish I could find someone like George again. He was everything and I never had that feeling of Love again with someone."
"Yeah, you usually go for the one time deal" Sophia said leaving the kitchen after hearing the doorbell ring.
"I remember my first Valentine's Day with Charlie, it wasn't the best first holiday as husband and wife but we made the best of it." Rose said remembering how horrible her first Valentine's Day with Charlie went terribly wrong. "It was great over everything that happened that day." Rose now starts to reminisce about her first Valentine's Day being Mrs. Charlie Nylund.
Charlie gives rose a special gift for their first Valentine's Day together as a married couple.
"Rose, are you ready?" Charlie asked before Rose walked down the stairs looking elegant in her light blue dress and matching heels.
"Yes Charlie i'm ready" Rose said walking over to Charlie as he stood at the bottom of the steps looking at how beautiful Rose looked.
"You look amazing" Charlie said extending his hand so that Rose could take it.
"Thank you, I told you this dress was special" Rose said taking his hand.
"You were right it's very special" Charlie said looking Rose up and down and smiling at his wife.
"So where are you taking me?" Rose asked and Charlie walked her over to the door and opened it walking outside to his car where he had a surprise for Rose inside it.
Charlie then opened the door to his car carefully helping Rose inside before closing the door and going to the other side to the drivers seat.
"We are going to a party at Kings" Charlie said starting to drive the car down the road.
A few minutes later Rose and Charlie arrived at Kings for the Valentine's Day party that they were having.
"This place looks packed you think we an get inside there?" Rose asked not knowing that Charlie not only had one surprise but had two surprises and one of them was this party.
"Don't worry Rosie I already made reservations." Charlie said helping Rose out of the car.
"You really are fast, making these reservations so quickly"
"I made these reservations 4 months ago"
"Oh, it's my favorite restaurant and every time I come here they always make me favorite meal." Rose said as they walked inside the restaurant looking at everyone having a good time dancing and partying.
"I know that's why I took you here, I know how much you love coming here and how much you enjoy their food." Charlie said as the hostess walked them to their table.
"So what happened after you and Charlie had your meal." Dorothy interrupted wanting Rose to finish her story.
"He had a surprise for me, he gave me this pendent that his grandmother gave him before she passed away." Rose had this very thing she was talking about on her dress and took it off to show Blanche and Dorothy.
"It's beautiful" Said Blanche taking it in her hand to look at it more closely.
"It really is beautiful Rose" Said Dorothy smiling.
After sometime talking the phone had rang and Rose got up to answer it. It was Robert calling to ask her out for the next night. Of course she said yes and when she got off the phone she wondered why Robert was sounding weird while talking to him. "Maybe he wants to end things" Rose thought to herself as she took her pendent and went to her room. Before going to her room Rose didn't want to jinx things and decided not to tell the girls about her phone call. As she slept that night she wondered and thought about what it would be like to have that special something with another guy that is not Charlie Nylund.
End of Chapter 1
"Rose Nylund, will you marry me?"
"Yes, I will marry you Robert."
This was playing around in Rose's head all day and her friends were getting worried that Rose had a secret that she wasn't telling them.
"I wonder what Rose is keeping from us?" Blanche asked wondering what Rose was keeping secret from them when she always told them everything.
"I don't know, all I do know is that Rose seems happy and that's all that matters." Dorothy said also wondering why Rose is so secretive and hoping that whatever happens this evening at dinner that Rose is happy and not upset or disappointed.
"You're right Dorothy, Rose's happiness is all that matters." Blanche stood up at the very moment that Rose walked into the kitchen.
Rose was wearing a long light pink dress with new earrings that Robert had bought her on their second date. Rose smiled as she walked into the kitchen all happy as can be and waiting for Robert to pick her up.
"Wow, you look beautiful Rose." Said Blanche smiling back at Rose.
"Thank you Blanche" Said Rose as she sat down at the table waiting for the doorbell to ring.
"So, do you know where Robert is taking you tonight?" Dorothy asked wanting to know where Rose would be going on this night.
"Yes, he is taking me to Labearce he took me there on our second date when he bought me these earrings." Rose answered pointing to the earring she is wearing.
"Oh, did Robert tell you what he wanted to say last night or did he want to wait for tonight to do that.?" Dorothy asked trying not to push too hard for answers cause she didn't want to get Rose mad.
"No, he just told me that he had something very important to tell me and that he wanted to do it in person." Rose answered still wanting to know what Robert was holding back from her and she was getting very anxious herself.
After sometime talking the doorbell rang and Rose got up to answer it.
"Hi honey" Rose said as she let Robert inside the house after giving him a hello kiss.
"Hi sweetheart how are you this evening?" Robert said with his voice nervous and wanted to get the thing he wanted to ask Rose over and done with already.
"Are you ready to go Rose?" Robert asked taking Rose's purse off the table behind the couch.
"Yes, I've been ready since yesterday" Rose said smiling and blushing as Robert took her hand, which was sweaty and walked out the door to Roberts car.
Robert opened the car door, helping Rose get inside safely then got inside the car himself. They drove to the restaurant and as they pulled up to the restaurant the lights were turned off and Rose wondered why the light weren't on when the lights of this restaurant is always on until the last hour of dinner time.
As they pulled up to the front of the restaurant there was 2 men standing outside awaiting for this couple to show up, "good evening madame good evening sir." The nice gentlemen said.
Robert got out of the car and then helped Rose out. They walked into the restaurant where there was only a few lights on in the very back of the restaurant. Rose smiled knowing that Robert had booked the restaurant in advance because he wanted the place to be private and only for them.
"Robert, this is so romantic" Said Rose as she and Robert walked to the back of the restaurant to where there table was.
"You" getting choked up and more nervous than ever Robert wanted to just get the thing he wanted to do over with badly but he was to nervous to propose right at this moment so instead he sat down across from Rose at the table, the table had two already lit candles and one exquisitely beautiful rose that sat in the center of the two lit candles.
It was perfectly done everything that Robert previously wanted had been set up perfectly for the evening that would probably be the best moment of his life.
"Robert, this is so beautiful how in the world did you do all this.?" Rose asked looking around the room and then back at Robert.
Robert took Rose's hand in his and smiled. "This is all for you my love." Robert was truly head over heels in love with Rose and he wanted to let the world know how much she means to him.
"You, you are incredible I love you Robert." Said Rose as Robert got up from his chair and went around to give Rose a kiss.
"This is it, I have to do this now, I am ready." Robert said in his head, getting down on one knee Robert took out a small blue box and Rose had started crying. Robert then opened the small square box and Rose had lit up when she saw the ring that was inside the box.
"OMG" Said Rose as she kept bawling with tears running non stop down her cheeks.
"Rose Nylund, will you marry me?" Robert said smiling up at Rose who was still in tears. Rose tried brushing the tears away from her face but the tears just kept rolling down but she contained her emotions to give Robert the answer that he had been waiting for since he had laid his eyes on the woman who he thought was the most stunningly gorgeous lady.
"Yes, Robert I will marry you" Rose now had contained her emotions and was smiling at the ring that Robert put on her finger.
"I love you Rose!" Robert said as he stood up from the floor and took Rose in his arms to give her the biggest kiss of his life. The employees of the restaurant were standing all around gearing and clapping for the newly engaged couple.
After all the excitement had died down Rose and Robert ate their food and danced until the sun was up and it was the next day.
End of Chapter 2!
The next chapter will be the last part of this story.

John Mann necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 36 diseños de 13 diseñadores freelance.
Mann Telecom
I am a start up in the UK supplying the SME market with Telecommunications related advice, products and services. I am competing with both long established giants like British Telecom (BT) and other smaller resellers. I supply hardware from the main vendors, Avaya, Shoretel, HO, LG Nortel etc wrapped with advice based on 20 years of experience of working with companies who needed to repalce their telephone system and network. My USP is that I start with the business issue to be resolved and work back to the right technology to recommend. Many of my competitors do it the other way around and try to fit the problem around whatever technology that they have in their portfolio.
I am a new business and as such require a logo and the various letterheads etc. I need them in a format that can easily be printed on a business card, printed onto a banner for expo's and used on my website etc.
It's a small job but I hope to offer more work in the future.
Telecoms buyers in small and medium business. Not technical people as a rule, tend to be office managers or even MD's who know little and look for someone they can trust for guidance. My brand image needs to reflect that I offer experience and can be trusted as a result.
Logo suitable for website, letterhead, business card, expo banners. Also to be used on facebook, Twiter and Ebay. Header and footer for letters with fields where I can insert my address, company registration number, VAT number, phone number, web address, postode and email address.
I need to be able to manipulate the image easily so it can fit in different web pages etc. Must be resizeable as far as is possible.
My trading name is Mann Telecom Ltd, my strapline is ' lets talk profit' -I would like my logo to incorporate both if practical.
Open to suggestion on colours, no existing logo or colour scheme so its a blank piece of paper.
Want something contemporary but not too wacky.

About This Blog
I began this blog to communicate some of the genealogy and family history information that I have gathered since beginning the quest to learn more about my ancestors. Initially it will present material about the Holladay family of Adair County, Kentucky – descendants of Zacharias Holladay (1761-1846) – and related families: Anderson, Creel, Montgomery, Reynolds, and Waggener. These are my father's family lines; later I will add information about my mother's ancestry.
A blog seems to be the best way to begin sharing my genealogical results and family stories and invite comments and especially contributions of additional material. Please give me some feedback by posting a comment here or contacting me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Do You Encourage People to Bring You Problems?
Do You Encourage People to Bring You Problems?
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
Whatever new awaits you, begin it here. In an entirely reimagined Jira.
One of the familiar tensions in management is how you encourage or discourage people from bringing you problems. One of my clients had a favorite saying, "Don't bring me problems. Bring me solutions."
I could see the problems that saying caused in the organization. He prevented people from bringing him problems until the problems were enormous. He didn't realize that his belief that he was helping people solve their own problems was the cause of these huge problems.
How could I help?
I'd only been a consultant for a couple of years. I'd been a manager for several years, and a program manager and project manager for several years before that. I could see the system. This senior manager wasn't really my client. I was consulting to a project manager, who reported to him, but not him. His belief system was the root cause of many of the problems.
What could I do?
I tried coaching my project manager, about what to say to his boss. That had some effect, but didn't work well. My client, the project manager, was so dejected going into the conversation that the conversation was dead before it started. I needed to talk to the manager myself.
I thought about this first. I figured I would only get one shot before I was out on my ear. I wasn't worried about finding more consulting—but I really wanted to help this client. Everyone was suffering.
I asked for a one-on-one with the senior manager. I explained that I wanted to discuss the project, and that the project manager was fine with this meeting. I had 30 minutes.
I knew that Charlie, this senior manager cared about these things: how fast we could release so we could move to the next project and what the customers would see (customer perception). He thought those two things would affect sales and customer retention.
Charlie had put tremendous pressure on the project to cut corners to release faster. But that would change the customer perception of what people saw and how they would use the product. I wanted to change his mind and provide him other options.
"Hey Charlie, this time still good?"
"Yup, come on in. You're our whiz-bang consultant, right?"
"Yes, you could call me that. My job is to help people think things through and see alternatives. That way they can solve problems on the next project without me."
"Well, I like that. You're kind of expensive."
"Yes, I am. But I'm very good. That's why you pay me. So, let's talk about how I'm helping people solve problems."
"I help people solve problems. I always tell them, 'Don't bring me problems. Bring me solutions.' It works every time." He actually laughed when he said this.
I waited until he was done laughing. I didn't smile.
"You're not smiling." He started to look puzzled.
"Well, in my experience, when you say things like that, people don't bring you small problems. They wait until they have no hope of solving the problem at all. Then, they have such a big problem, no one can solve the problem. Have you seen that?"
He narrowed his eyes.
"Let's talk about what you want for this project. You want a great release in the next eight weeks, right? You want customers who will be reference accounts, right? I can help you with that."
Now he looked really suspicious.
"Okay, how are you going to pull off this miracle? John, the project manager was in here the other day, crying about how this project was a disaster."
"Well, the project is in trouble. John and I have been talking about this. We have some plans. We do need more people. We need you to make some decisions. We have some specific actions only you can take. John has specific actions only he can take.
"Charlie, John needs your support. You need to say things like, "I agree that cross-functional teams work. I agree that people need to work on just one thing at a time until they are complete. I agree that support work is separate from project work, and that we won't ask the teams to do support work until they are done with this project." Can you do that? Those are specific things that John needs from you. But even those won't get the project done in time.
"Well, what will get the project done in time?" He practically growled at me.
"We need consider alternatives to the way the project has been working. I've suggested alternatives to the teams. They're afraid of you right now, because they don't know which solution you will accept."
"AFRAID? THEY'RE AFRAID OF ME?" He was screaming by this time.
"Charlie, do you realize you're yelling at me?" I did not tell him to calm down. I knew better than that. I gave him the data.
"Oh, sorry. No. Maybe that's why people are afraid of me."
I grinned at him.
"You're not afraid of me."
"Not a chance. You and I are too much alike." I kept smiling. "Would you like to hear some options? I like to use the Rule of Three to generate alternatives. Is it time to bring John in?"
We discussed the options with John. Remember, this is before agile. We discussed timeboxing, short milestones with criteria, inch-pebbles, yellow-sticky scheduling, and decided to go with what is now a design-to-schedule lifecycle for the rest of the project. We also decided to move some people over from support to help with testing for a few weeks.
We didn't release in eight weeks. It took closer to twelve weeks. But the project was a lot better after that conversation. And, after I helped the project, I gained Charlie as a coaching client, which was tons of fun.
Many managers have rules about their problem solving and how to help or not help their staff. "Don't bring me a problem. Bring me a solution" is not helpful.
That is the topic of this month's management myth: Myth 31: I Don't Have to Make the Difficult Choices.
When you say, "Don't bring me a problem. Bring me a solution" you say, "I'm not going to make the hard choices. You are." But you're the manager. You get paid to make the difficult choices.
Telling people the answer isn't always right. You might have to coach people. But not making decisions isn't right either. Exploring options might be the right thing. You have to do what is right for your situation.
Go read Myth 31: I Don't Have to Make the Difficult Choices.
New roadmaps, more flexible boards, and dozens of new integrations. And that's just the beginning.

Improv Festival of Kansas to be this weekend
November 9, 2011
Rapping twins, the most awkward situation imaginable and discussions regarding the end of the world are just a few of the features to be found during this year's annual improvisational comedy festival at the Roving Imp Theater & Coffee House.
Now in its third year, the festival will feature new workshops, new comedy acts and even a new name. Formerly known as ImpFest, this year's festival is being called Improv Festival of Kansas.
"Because we're the only improv theater in Kansas, and I thought we should reflect that," John Robison, Roving Imp owner, said of the name change.
The 11 acts scheduled to perform throughout the festival hail from near and far, with several from the Kansas City metro area and a couple from as far away as Philadelphia and New York. Groups Robison says he's most excited about seeing over the weekend include TwinProv, from Oklahoma City, and Awkward, from Kansas City, Mo. Awkward is comprised of performers Trish Berrong and Joe Henley, who improvise awkward situations between males and females.
TwinProv is comprised of twin brothers Buck and Clint Vrazel, who do more than just improvised comedy routines.
"They do an improvised rap and they are twins," Robison said. "So two white boys from Oklahoma City that are twins do the most amazing improvised rap that you have ever heard of."
Also scheduled to perform is Babel Fish, a four-member group from Kansas City, Mo., whose comedy revolves around the end of the world, Robison said.
Teaching the majority of the workshops this year will be Kristen Schier and Amie Roe, both of whom are from Philadelphia and are members of the two-person improv group, The Amie & Kristen Show. Workshops will include "Listen Like a Therapist," which will help performers learn to listen to their scene partners onstage, and "I'll Take the Physical Challenge," which will show how body movements can be used to help create the character. The members of TwinProv will also teach a workshop on freestyle rap.
Workshop details, prices and times can be found online at rovingimp.com/ifok, though Robison said all the workshops are almost full.
Robision said his hopes for this year's festival are for more audience attendance and that audience members come away with a newfound respect for the level of comedy that is going on in Bonner Springs and throughout the country.
"I would love to have the people of Bonner Springs come and see these shows and see the quality of comedy that goes on around the country," he said. "It's not often we get that sort of thing here in town; the sort of top caliber talent and comedy. This is going to be better than what you would see at some of the big name comedy clubs in (the area)."
Improv Festival of Kansas kicks off at 7 p.m. today and runs through Sunday. Tickets, which can be purchased at the door, are $12 per show, $20 for up to three shows and $30 for all five shows. A full show schedule and more details are online at rovingimp.com/ifok.

James Patrick Aspinall is a 27-year-old Echo Park resident battling Cystic Fibrosis and is awaiting a double lung transplant at USC Hospital.. We have already received so much support from friends and family but as we await the transplant we are doing all that we can to meet our goal!
Last September while he was visiting me his lung had collapsed causing irreversible damage that has forced him to relocate here permanently.
These days Patrick spends most of his precious time at the hospital or resting at home, often struggling to do things many of us don't even think about – like taking a walk or cooking dinner. As he progresses into the end stage of Cystic Fibrosis, there are no more options left and a double lung transplant is necessary for survival. For Patrick every breath has become a battle; and every treasured second has become a win.

John Friend was inducted into the Lipscomb athletics Hall of Fame on Nov. 5. John Friend was a member of the Bison basketball team from 1954-57 playing a leading role in Lipscomb's march to the VSAC tournament all four years, including the championship game in 1956. He served as director of athletics at Purdue University-Calumet from 1980-2001 and was the conference commissioner of the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference.
His athletic accomplishments have been acknowledged by his selection to six Halls of Fame: Purdue Calumet, the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference, the National College Football Coaches Association, the American Football Coaches Association, the Indiana Football Hall of Fame, and the NAIA Hall of Fame.
Director of Athletics Philip Hutcheson on John Friend:
"As a student athlete at Lipscomb, John was a leader on and off the floor, and he has continued to lead ever since then. He has made a positive and lasting impression on every team and program of which he has been a part, and his having already been inducted into an incredible six different sports Halls of Fame across the nation attest to the tremendous work he has done over the years. John has been a winner and helped to build winning organizations wherever he has gone, but it is the humility and class which he has displayed in his many different roles that has served as such a great representation of the type of servant-leaders that Lipscomb strives to produce. We are happy to add one more Hall of Fame to his resume as we welcome him as a part of the 2011 Hall of Fame class."

I must say, my favorite part of the BlackBerry® Booth at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) of 2012 has to be the QNX concept car based on a Porsche 911 convertible running the QNX® Car™ 2 application platform. It integrates BlackBerry and QNX technology into a vehicle (and a Porsche no less) making for a compelling user experience beyond the smooth ride. I've had the chance to see how the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ can enhance law enforcement technology in the BlackBerry PlayBook Police Cruiser from earlier this year, but this Porsche is truly a new animal (not a Jaguar). To top it off, the Porsche won the CNET Best in Show award in the Auto Tech category! Check out the video above to see the technology up close and to hear from the QNX team on how the embedded applications and hardware work within the vehicle.
How would you envision BlackBerry and QNX technology integrating with your car? How would you use it? Share in the comments below.

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas - Harris County officials are suing a local restaurant, accusing the business of serving up more than just food.
Sexy women dancing and baring it all is the kind of thing you'd expect to see in a strip club. But according to the Harris County Attorney's Office, these same things are going at Babe's North Bikini Bar. On Monday, the county filed a lawsuit against the restaurant.
Video shot by undercover vice cops is so raunchy most had to be blurred for TV.
"Women expose themselves in a certain way and interact with customers letting them touch them, feel them, and be with them in ways that are crimes," said Terence O'Rourke, with the Harris County Attorney's Office.
Harris County is suing Babe's North, calling it a public nuisance. Officials said the bar isn't licensed for it.
The county claims it's become a haven for prostitution, street drugs and other crimes.
According to court documents, since January 2011, the owner has repeatedly violated the county's sexually oriented business ordinance and has failed to report crimes to police in a timely manner.
The Harris County Attorney's Office maintains the legal actions it's taking is not an attack on adult entertainment businesses.
"If you're going to have sexually oriented businesses they operate by the rules and there are a lot of them that do," O'Rourke said.
Officials said the bar has had more than 30 calls for police service in the last 18 months.
Our attempts to reach the owner have been unsuccessful, and a man claiming to handle promotions for the bar told Local 2 News he couldn't comment.
Harris County commissioners are set to talk about new requirements for sexually oriented businesses on Tuesday.

Family vacations typically inspire fond memories, but rarely do they inspire businesses.
While visiting the Caribbean island of Tobago in 1996, the Dimin family saw fishermen haul in their bountiful catch using traditional methods, but with no market to sell the fish. Based in the New York metro area, the family knew that chefs at restaurants in the city could be a prime market for this sustainably-caught harvest. The idea launched Sea to Table, cofounded by Sean Dimin and his father Michael. Sea to Table has since grown to partner with local fishermen from small-scale, sustainable wild fisheries from all over the United States – and Tobago, of course – and connects them directly with restaurants and chefs all across the country.
Sean is now in the challenging but rewarding position of getting fish from, as he says, "independent-minded fishermen to strong-willed chefs." Most fish that we eat at restaurants today have taken a convoluted, sometimes two-week long journey from a loading dock to a centralized market to a series of distributors, and finally to a chef's kitchen. Sea to Table is giving fish lovers a chance to know the story of the fish that they eat; where it was caught, who caught it, and how.
Sean recently took some time to talk with us from his Brooklyn office about the history of Sea to Table, the joys of visiting fishermen on the job and the potential of Las Vegas shrimp. You can listen to the interview by clicking on the audio player (above left), download a podcast of the full conversation, or read a PDF transcript. Here's a snippet of our conversation:
Now has the idea of sustainability with these fisheries always factored into the business from the beginning?
We didn't know about sustainable seafood when we first started our business in the Caribbean. It was just a man on small open skiffs hand-lining the fish.
It wasn't later until we realized that this very selective method of fishing was inherently sustainable, and that's why this fishing community was still so vibrant and active, that they hadn't overfished their fish stocks. Once we learned that there was a good way to do things and a bad way to do things, it's just always been our way to just do it the right way. And there was a right way to source seafood. It was to work with the men and women who harvest it responsibly. And a big part of it is knowing where that fish comes from. And that if a diner or a chef or a fish monger or a customer at a supermarket can be told where the fish came from, how it was caught, who caught it and has that clear line of traceability, all that information, chances are they are going to make the right decision. And if they don't have all that information, chances are it's not the right fish.
So I imagine that when you first started breaking into the world of these fishermen, it might have been a little tough. Did you go into this with any trepidation? And actually the chefs, too--was there any skepticism on their part when you were first starting?
I think maybe I was too young, and I was too confident, and I had no idea what I was stepping into. And it wasn't my first business, it was my second business, but it was, as I start to learn what other people do with their lives, I don't know if I'd make the same step. It's a very difficult business. It's very rewarding, but coordinating fresh fish from independent-minded fishermen to a strong-willed chef is like being in the middle of a rock and a hard place, with a lot of weather and uncertainties in between.

White-hot A's ready for Tigers' best shot in ALDS
"I don't think anybody would want to play us," outfielder Josh Reddick said. "I don't think we're going to be underestimated as much as we have all year now, that's for sure."
It will be the Tigers who will have the first shot at halting baseball's hottest team, which ended the regular season with six straight victories. Fresh off a champagne celebration Wednesday, the A's will travel to Detroit on Thursday afternoon to prepare for the best-of-five series that begins Saturday at 3:07 p.m. PT.
Game 2 is to follow on Sunday, with the third game set for Tuesday at the Coliseum in Oakland. Should a fourth and/or fifth game be necessary, both would take place in Oakland, with games scheduled for Oct. 9-11.
"It's going to be a tough matchup," manager Bob Melvin said. "They played very well against us during the season. They have a very powerful lineup that can certainly score some runs. They also have great starting pitching. We will have our work cut out for us."
The A's played the Tigers to a 3-4 record this season, most recently going 1-2 in Detroit in mid-September, being outscored 18-4 in the first two games, both losses, before beating them, 12-4, in the finale.
In that series, the A's found a foe in AL Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera, who tackled them with five hits in 11 at-bats, including three home runs. Overall, the Tigers' third baseman is batting .483 against the A's this season, his best mark vs. any club not named the Orioles (.500).
Detroit's AL Most Valuable Player Award candidate, backed by cleanup hitter Prince Fielder, stands to be the A's most challenging out, while right-handed ace Justin Verlander, expected to start Game 1, figures to offer the same type of test on the mound, where the pitching-rich A's hope to outperform their playoff counterparts.
Oakland has yet to announce a starter for Game 1, though there's a strong chance it's righty Jarrod Parker, who finished his regular season with a 13-8 record and 3.47 ERA. In one start against the Tigers this year, the rookie allowed two runs with four walks and five strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings. Other potential options are lefty Brett Anderson -- should the A's decide to start him less than three weeks after he suffered a right oblique strain in Detroit -- or southpaw Tommy Milone.
On the offensive side, the A's compiled a .252 average with seven home runs against Detroit's staff in the regular season. Keep an eye out for Seth Smith, who hit .417 with two home runs against the Tigers this year, and Reddick, whose .357 average vs. Detroit also included two home runs.
This is a homer-happy A's team, which offset a poor .238 season average. Oakland belted 194 home runs, including a Major League-best 112 after the All-Star break. That's 31 more than Detroit tallied, even with Cabrera's 44.
The Tigers, who finished the season with seven fewer wins than the A's at 87-74, naturally fared well in their home ballpark, going 50-31 at Comerica Park. Yet the A's were equally successful on the road, going an AL-best 44-37 outside the confines of the Coliseum.
The A's feel they have passed their biggest test, with Jonny Gomes insisting, "All you gotta do is get in. You don't have to be the best team. You gotta be the hottest."
"I think this team is going to be just fine in the playoffs," reliever Sean Doolittle said. "We've played so many close games, we played such a tough schedule recently, so I think all that really bodes well for us moving forward."

Dangerouser and dangerouser? Aid workers on the front lines
|Threatened symbol of neutrality
When I was working as a field officer with UNHCR in eastern Sudan in the mid 1980s, the living conditions were tough but we did not fear for our lives.
A couple of years later, a faction of the PLO attacked the Acropole Hotel in Khartoum, the city's main hang-out for aid workers and journalists. Four people were killed and more injured.
The aid fraternity was in shock at what they saw as a dagger lunged into the heart of their community.
Today, such an incident would still get headlines but stories of attacks and kidnappings of aid workers are depressingly familiar.
As the amount of overseas development assistance going to countries in conflict or affected by conflict rises, the growing numbers of humanitarian and development staff frequently find themselves in harm's way.
This trend is due in part to the recurrence of violence. Research for the WDR shows that many conflict-hit countries experience repeated violent episodes.
The linear progression from war and destruction to peace and development is now the exception rather than the rule.
This means that aid workers are increasingly caught up in the ebb and flow of conflict rather than coming in when the guns fall definitively silent.

Lipscomb Lady Bisons basketball coach Frank Bennett is still working on solidifying his starting lineup.
He is hopeful that Saturday's exhibition game with Harding at Allen Arena will give him a better idea of who should be playing where. Game time is 6:30 p.m.
"I like where we are at this point," Bennett said. "I think we are improving. We still have a lot of work to do, but we are seeing some good signs. I'm pleased with the way things are going. We are close to getting some spots set."
One area of concern is at the post position due to a lack of experience.
Freshman Jess Reece, 6-foot-3, is getting a long look at the post position. Freshmen have ups and downs in making the adjustment from high school to college, but Bennett likes what he has seen in preseason workouts.
"I think Jess has a really good shooting touch around the basket," Bennett said. "She can score with her left or right hand.
"We would like to see her improve sealing and wanting the ball. We want her to get some more shots. We are also working on her rebounding."
Challenging Reece is 6-2 sophomore Chelsea McMeans. Bennett likes the competition level.
"They both do good things," Bennett said. "Chelsea has more experience. Chelsea is a little bit better at shooting the ball facing the basket.
"We are seeing both of them develop their offensive games. We still some progress there."
Freshman point guard Haley Nelson is working hard to earn playing time. She is competing against senior Miaca Bowman. Senior Jenna Bartsokas could also play some point in addition to the No.2 guard spot.
"Haley has got some really good offensive skills," Bennett said. "She has impressed us the most with her passing. But she has shot the ball well. She can handle the ball under pressure.
"An area where she needs to make a jump is her defense, particularly away from the ball. She also has to work on her overall intensity jumping from high school to college basketball."
The point guard position is one of the areas where Bennett is still trying to determine how playing time will be distributed. Bennett's preseason plan is to use a three-guard lineup with junior Anna Bowers at the No. 3 position. At 5-7 Bennett knows that Bowers is a little undersized for that spot, but he thinks her skills cancel out the height issue.
"Anna is playing with a lot more confidence this year," Bennett said. "She is athletic. She can really shoot the ball well. And she can defend. She is such a good athlete that she can get some rebounds for us too."
Senior Valerie Bronson, a wing player, had some strong scoring performances. Bennett expects her to do that again this year, but he would like to see her score in double figures more often.
"Valerie is working really hard," Bennett said. "She is doing a lot of good things.
"We want to see more consistency from her. We would like to see her have a little better judgment in taking care of the ball and deciding which plays to make."
Freshman forward O'Neisha Smith possesses a strong work ethic, often staying out on the court after the rest of her teammates are gone.
"O'Neisha is a hard worker in all areas," Bennett said. "She does a lot on her own. In the classroom she gets extra help. On the court she consults with the coaches and older players about running plays on offense and defense.
"She is also a smart player. She is a very good athlete."
Junior Brittany Duerk missed 18 days of practice in the preseason due to an injury. She will get playing time at the No. 4 and No. 5 spots.
Sophomore wing Hannah Phillips, a No. 2 and No. 3 player, is also being counted on to play at higher level.
"Hannah does a lot of good things," Bennett said. "She can run all day. She is a very good defender. She can guard any of the perimeter positions.
"She gets rebounds. She is a good passer. We would like to see her improve her footwork and drive with the basketball more. I think she can be a really good shooter and that she can become more explosive on the drive."
Junior wing Leah McAlister is also working for playing time.
"Leah as really good offensive skills," Bennett said. "She is shooting the 3-point shot well. She has a lot of good skills offensively. She is also good defensive rebounder who gets position well."
Sophomore wing Morgan Faulkner has missed most of preseason due to surgery. She could be back on the court by the end of November or early December.
Freshman Katie Mullins, 5-11, who can play both the post and the wing, was a late addition to the team.
"Katie has been a big help in practice," Bennett said. "She could help us some this season."
