<title>Bishop Lynch</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ <p>Bishop Lynch coach's courage despite unborn baby's defect inspires team</p><p>Tricia Roos steals Sour Patch Kids from one of her players and jokes to "crank that" volleyball net up, to which the girls laughingly reply, "Soulja Boy." Her 5 1/2 months pregnant belly looks about to burst through her Bishop Lynch T shirt.</p><p>The scene is typical for the 31 year old volleyball coach, who's in her eighth season at the helm of a team she's led through three state championships and who had her first pregnancy three years ago. Yet a certain phrase has been haunting her for months, preventing her from fully enjoying these little moments of happiness: "incompatible with life."</p><p>Roos found out after a 12 weeks genetic test that her unborn baby girl has full Trisomy 18, a chromosomal defect that causes the fetus to have severe developmental and physical complications that often prove fatal.</p><p>Girls have better rates of survival than boys. But fewer than 10 percent of babies with Trisomy 18 survive their first year if they aren't miscarried or stillborn.</p><p>It's because of these poor statistics that most doctors recommend terminating the pregnancy. So much so that Roos didn't even realize there was another option during her darkest time the week after finding out. <a title="Cheap NFL Jerseys" href="http://www.wholesalejerseysusa.us.com/" target="_blank">Cheap NFL Jerseys</a> </p><p>But after doing her own research and getting in touch with other mothers of babies with Trisomy 18, she decided to keep her baby and see out whatever life the little girl might have.</p><p>"This isn't a mistake," Roos said. "There's a higher purpose for this."</p><p>Who's to judge?Roos, her husband, Jonas Roos, and her 3 year old son, Cameron, are taking this difficult time day by day. But she is also choosing to share this personal struggle with others, taking the platform provided for her as a state champion coach to raise awareness about Trisomy 18.</p><p>There is no cure for Trisomy 18 no miracle medicine or procedure to set the chromosomal defect right but Roos' campaign isn't about finding a fix. It's about challenging the standard for quality of life and showing other mothers in her situation that there's another option beyond "ending the story out of convenience," she said.</p><p>Alison Stubing, 41, of Allen connected with Roos through a series of friends when she heard Roos faced the same choice she did three years ago. Stubing, Roos and the other mothers they've talked with through Facebook groups and other friends of friends realized having a baby with Trisomy 18 was very isolating especially when they felt doctors only gave one side of the story.</p><p>Stubing also went against doctors' recommendations, and her baby Quinn lived for six months. Stubing called the time with her baby joyous and delightful but also intense and often grief filled.</p><p>"We got to know her, which was a blessing," Stubing said. "She did change the world around her, even as a 6 month old." <a title="cheap jerseys china" href="http://www.cheapjerseysvs.com/" target="_blank">cheap jerseys china</a> </p><p>Each woman's choice stemmed from religious beliefs, but that doesn't mean it was a black and white situation. Roos said she would never judge anyone who chose the other option. Stubing still wonders if what she did was right, even if she doesn't regret it.</p><p>"It was very difficult to watch her suffer," Stubing said of her baby, who struggled to gain weight. "Did I make the wrong decision for her? Was I just not brave enough to do that for her? I mean, there's just such a flip side that people don't think about."</p><p>Despite all the potential heartbreaking outcomes, Roos said she is still remaining positive.</p><p>Being optimistic"It's a weird feeling, but I'm extremely afraid that I've become optimistic," Roos said. "Medically and scientifically, nothing sounds optimistic. But I just know it's going to be OK."</p><p>With that attitude, it became important to Roos to name her baby as soon as possible. She'd watched the movie Heaven Is for Real and was struck by a scene in the film where a little boy tells his mother about meeting his miscarried sister in heaven, but she didn't have a name.</p><p>Any old name, however, wouldn't do.</p><p>"If I'm going to have a baby that has something wrong or is going to have to fight for her life, I need a name with meaning," Roos said.</p><p>She and her husband named their son after Cameron Park, near their alma mater, Baylor University in Waco, yet the name actually means crooked nose. But it was the way Cameron said his sister's name in his cute toddler voice that sealed the deal Annabelle, meaning gracefully beautiful.</p><p>Roos' due date is Jan. 13, about two months after the volleyball season ends. And while she is hoping to coach the rest of the season without interruption, she is prepared to step away if she must.</p><p>Her doctors recently told her the baby's heart defect is so severe it will most likely result in a miscarriage in her third trimester. Roos has talked to other mothers whose babies had the same problem and made it to full term, but she has still prepared the team for her absence. <a title="wholesale nfl jerseys china" href="http://www.oldhambiz.com/" target="_blank">wholesale nfl jerseys china</a> </p><p>Best part of the year"This is the fun part of my year," she said. "These three little months where I have my haven of my volleyball kids and our season, and I wait for it all year long. It's kind of wrecking to know that I'm not, potentially, going to be a part of it all season."</p><p>But Roos' assistant coach, Josh Kreuter, has been at her side her whole time at Bishop Lynch and said their coaching styles are so similar he could step into the head coaching role if needed. Though he hopes it won't be necessary.</p><p>Kreuter, who is also the associate director of admissions to Roos' director of admissions, was with Roos when she received the bad news from her doctor during a work conference in Oregon. He said she's had sad moments but has handled it better than anyone expected.</p><p>"It hasn't really thrown anything off," Kreuter said. "If anything, I feel like [the team is] kind of feeding off of it. As a team, they're using it as motivation. And she's using it as a teaching point for the kids to fight.</p><p>"If she can fight through this and work hard and get through this and not give up on it, then the kids shouldn't give up on the season."</p><p>Star senior setter Morgan Reed said she was worried when Roos told the team the news over the summer because she knew her coach would try to be strong for the players. But the team is trying to support her by working hard and staying positive.</p><p>'14 other daughters'"We told her, 'You have 14 other daughters on this team that are there for you,'" Reed said. "Getting to play is the joy in her day. It's a break from having to think about it, and she can just focus on the game. And she loves it just as much as we do."</p>

<title>Berkshire And QQQ Are</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ <p>Berkshire And QQQ Are In Season After Surge</p><p>Wallace (Wally) Forbes, CFA, was President of the Forbes Investors Advisory Institute (FIAI) from 1993 through 2014, the division of Forbes Media that publishes the Forbes Special Situation Survey, Forbes Investor and is responsible for the Forbes participation in the Forbes/CFA Institute Investment Course published by Wiley. He hosts an interview program with leading money managers that appears on the Investing section. Mr. Forbes, the youngest son of B. C. Forbes, founder of Forbes Magazine, served as Vice President and Director of Forbes, and President of Forbes Investors Advisory Institute, from 1964 to 1969. After leaving the company, he served as president and CEO of Standard Research Consultants, formerly a subsidiary of Standard and Poor's Corporation. He subsequently was a founder and partner in charge of Benchmark Valuation Consultants, which merged with KPMG Peat Marwick in 1987. Both firms specialized in the business valuation field. He has also served as a director of both public and private companies and of educational and other non profit organizations. He rejoined Forbes in 1996, once again as President of FIAI. Navy Civil Engineer Corps and was assigned to Seabee battalions (Navy construction battalions) in various overseas locations. After leaving the Navy, Mr. Forbes attended the Harvard Business School, and, upon graduation, was appointed a research associate in investment management and a member of the faculty. Mr. Forbes is a member of the New York Society of Security Analysts and holds the Chartered Financial Analyst designation.</p><p>We were talking about this in the office, "What does this mean? Is this an unhealthy market that's oversold and just overreacting? Or have we created a selling vacuum, because everybody's caught leaning the wrong way?"</p><p>But Birinyi went back and looked at all these incidences. We've had 16 incidences of a five day surge of that sort of action, and in the vast majority of them, markets were appreciably higher six months later. 2001 was down, later in 01 and 02 were flat, the rest all saw higher prices.</p><p>You can look at 1984, you could look at 1987, you could look at 1998, you could look at 2000, 2001. In 2001, it didn't work out. You ended up lower six months later. It happened twice in 2001, and the second time you were break even. Then again in 2002, you would break even. But then in 2003 there was a huge surge. So of sixteen examples, all but three of them end up appreciably higher. We like those odds. <a title="nhl jerseys china" href="http://www.wholesalenhljerseyschinas.com/" target="_blank">nhl jerseys china</a> </p><p>Forbes: And this is looking out six months?</p><p>Ritholtz: Right, six months to a year. But look, I could give you a hundred reasons why the market should go to hell in a hand basket.</p><p>Forbes: But what you're saying is this may be more indicative of positive results than negative results? <a title="cheap nhl jerseys" href="http://www.cheapnhljerseyschinas.com/" target="_blank">cheap nhl jerseys</a> </p><p>Ritholtz: That's right. Making investment decisions is the art of predicting highest probability outcomes in the face of limited or incomplete information. I wish we had a thousand years of data. We don't. I've been heard to say, "Let's discuss this in 3011 and we'll really be able to give you some metrics."</p><p>But since 1950, while not as much data as I would prefer, is certainly enough data that I think it's worthwhile considering. That's number one. We have a century of the seasonality data. And then the last factor is when you just look at how bearish people are and you look at how many people were caught leaning the wrong way, because that August/September sell off looked like it was setting up the big one. Short interest at record levels, anecdotally, lots of negativity.</p><p>By the way, you may remember this was circulating: A number of people had said, "Hey, this August/September setup is just like the 1987 crash setup." I heard that from three different people, including Art Cashin, who skeptically passed the rumor on. He's an old school guy. He's been doing this for 45 years. No one's better on the floor of the exchange than he is. And he said, "Hey, I'm hearing guys draw parallels to 1987. And I don't really buy that."</p><p>We've been looking to buy stuff for two weeks. And the numbers just didn't line up. It was a little early. It's not just that we had that five day rip. Yesterday's sell off gave us an opportunity to feel, "Hey, we're not chasing, we're buying this on a 2% pull back."</p><p>Forbes: Have you got some specific stocks you're recommending?</p><p>Ritholtz: Sure. I'll give you a couple of stocks. And I'll give you a couple of ETFs that we like.</p><p>On the stock side this is an amusing sidebar I have never owned . I've wanted to for a long time. What we see right now is that, for the first time in its history, Buffett is buying his own stock back. That's quite telling. Secondly, it's pretty clear they have a well thought out succession plan, which was a concern, especially after what we saw happen with Steve Jobs. It's clear that Buffett is thinking about the future. The stock pulled back. It's relatively cheap. So Berkshire's a valuation play.</p><p>The second name that's a quasi financial is</p><p>I hate that every time I go to use a debit machine at a Target or use a credit card somewhere else, I know that part of my cost is a fee that is going to the credit card company. It annoys me. So now at least I feel like I'm getting a piece of that transaction back. That's the second name.</p><p>Then, in terms of the ETFs, we added a couple of names that I think are pretty interesting. We looked at some emerging markets and decided to hold off on them. The name we added was the .</p><p>And then we ended up buying some <a title="china wholesale nhl jerseys" href="http://www.wholesalenhljerseyschinas.com/" target="_blank">china wholesale nhl jerseys</a> </p><p>Essentially we wanted the technology exposure back and we wanted the small cap exposure back. We decided to wait on the emerging markets. All the charts in the emerging markets look awful. <a title="china cheap nhl jerseys" href="http://www.cheapnhljerseyschinas.com/" target="_blank">china cheap nhl jerseys</a> </p><p>We like to look for three things. We look for valuation, we have to like the technical setup of the charts and then we want to see some sort of catalyst. What's been fascinating is how much better technology has bounced off these lows than everything else.</p><p>The dividend payers and the value payers you can hold through a 20% downturn, because they only drop 10%. On the snapback, they're not going to snap back much, but that's why they're in your portfolio. It's a core holding that you don't have to stress about the way you have to watch the dotcoms and the techs and those sorts of things.</p><p>Forbes: Barry, that is terrific. I'm delighted you feel there are opportunities in this very different kind of a market environment that we've been going through.</p><p>Ritholtz: I'm the first guy to admit, it's as much luck as anything. It helps to be smart. It helps to be good. But if you can have a little wind blowing at your back, that helps, too</p><p>So we basically said, "All right, we don't want to risk missing a year end melt up, which is certainly something that's possible." That was the thought process.</p>

<title>Best urban walking</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ <p>Best urban walking shoes <a title="cheap oakleys" href="http://www.cheapfakeoakleysoutlet.com/" target="_blank">cheap oakleys</a> </p><p>That so hard to say. My feet give me nothing but trouble so I always on the lookout for comfy shoes. I bought a pair of Mephisto because everyone RAVES about them. Paid more than $300 and they sitting in the bottom of my closet. They absolutely kill me. I gotten blisters and pain from Aerosoles, Easy Spirit, and Arche. The most comfy things I ever had were also the most hideous, old lady looking strappy things from Clark But when I got serious walking to do, I do it in my little pink Saucony sneakers. <a title="cheap oakleys outlet" href="http://www.cheapfakeoakleysoutlet.com/" target="_blank">cheap oakleys outlet</a> </p><p>Like Bettina, I bought an expensive pair of "good" walking shoes because "everyone" told me I couldn wear white sneakers on vacation, I look too much like a tourist (is that really bad?). So I bought these Ecco for around $200 and thought I broke them in well at home (I walk a lot here in San Diego too), so I wore them the first day of my first trip to New York. About noon, I thought my feet would fall off, my arches hurt so bad, then my calves hurt, and by the end of the day my legs hurt all the way up and down. So, I moved to my backup sneakers and never looked back. Now wear my great arch support New Balance athletic shoes, and yes, I look like a tourist but I can walk 10 miles or more a day with no problem, and my feet don hurt, and I get around to everything I want to see, and I haven got kicked out of New York (or London) yet! <a title="Christian Louboutin Replicas" href="http://www.christianlouboutinreplicaus.com/" target="_blank">Christian Louboutin Replicas</a> </p><p>DD,,,,Those are really cute shoes and look comfortable but more for casual walking like a stroll in the park kinda thing. If I doing lots of walking and on pavement,,,,I need a back on my heel like others suggested,,,Nikes or something like that. I up against the same thing as I want the most comfortable shoe while there. I will be going in December and thinking along the lines of a boot with flat or small heel and comfortable lining inside. Everyone is different though and if she has worn that kind before for lots of walking,,,,then that maybe that will be the trick for her.</p><p>I been looking everywhere for comfortable walking sandals to wear to New York, and I finally settled on 3 different brands that I like. I have no luck with Born or Clark. Dansko comes highly recommended, and I also tried on a German brand called Haflinger, and another very comfortable brand called Think. I tried on all 3 brands, although not in the style I like, and I getting ready to order a couple pairs online. Do a search for walking shoes or walking sandals, and several different brands will come up.</p><p>I like Easy Spirit Shoes all leather ones. The synthetic fabrics I found make my feet sweat too much. Recently, I bought a pair of New Balance walking shoes and took a long walk in them. I found that the ball of my left foot ached so I bought some shoe inserts that had extra arch support and extra padding for the rest of the foot and that helped a lot. As Bettina said, and I agree, whichever shoes you do bring make sure that you take a long walk in them when you home and see how they feel.</p><p>The great thing about a good pair of leather walking shoes is that they work well with the casual look and the business casual look. I have a black pair and a beige pair, not only to alternate them but so that I have shoes that work with different color outfits. <a title="Christian Louboutin Sale" href="http://www.christianlouboutinreplicaus.com/" target="_blank">Christian Louboutin Sale</a> </p>

<title>Bob Ryan on Celtics</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ <p>Bob Ryan on Celtics legends</p><p>By 11, Ryan had already dubbed himself "The Sportster" and was extolling the virtues of Bob Cousyin impassioned columns. By high school, Ryan's work on the student paper earned him the "scribe" monikerfrom the school's football coach. By 23, Ryan found himself on the Celtics beat for the Boston Globe,at a time when he was often the only media member in attendance at practices. From that professional toehold, Ryan would go on to write books with John Havlicek and Larry Bird, enjoy a successful career as an ESPN television personality and earn the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame's Curt Gowdy award.</p><p>Scribe covers Ryan's personal story, offers vignettes from sporting events across the globe, and includes reflections on the many changes to professional sports that have taken place over the last half century. The meat of the book, to no one's great surprise, is its rich discussion of the Celtics and the NBA. Ryan notes that he was born in 1946, the same year that the Basketball Association of America (the forerunner to NBA) was founded, and he carefully documents how he came to love the game. The book travels everywhere from the Ohio hills, where Havlicek cultivated his cutting skills by running through trees, to Monte Carlo, where Ryan covered Bird and the rest of the 1992 Dream Team.</p><p>But to answer the question, fully, no. Not to the extent of the global nature. Michael was the final piece of that puzzle, no doubt. Michael and the Bulls. I honestly remember thinking in the early 1970s, in the early DaveCowens regime that it would be great if they could only average 10,000 a night. Averaging 10,000 was a milestone in my head for them. Selling out routinely in anything other than the playoffs was unimaginable. There's no way I could have projected what the league became 10 years later.</p><p>The perception of the league in the late 1970s with drugs, and a feeling of stagnation, delayed the league's growth. I came into this thing as a college basketball fanatic learning about the NBA. It did not take me long to realize that the problem with the NBA was image. This was a better product than college basketball but it lacked the trappings, it lacked the tradition, the pomp and circumstance. The basketball itself was the greatest basketball in the world. The people who had these myths about how every game was decided in the last two minutes, how they don't play defense, blab la bla. The basketball was better.</p><p>The late 1970s wasn't a great era for the league. There wasn't a dominant player. You can argue who the best player in the league was from 1976 to 1980. [Julius Erving] came over from the ABA. Maybe it was Dr. J. Kareem [Abdul Jabbar] was bored, this was Kareem's boredom period. and before Magic arrived he was just going through the motions. Marques Johnson might have been the best player in the league. Then Magic and Larry show up in 1979 and they get credit for focusing the positive attention on the NBA as the league was coming out of a period of ennui. It was actually the "Walt Frazier Game." The seventh game of the championship, Reed had the first two baskets of the game and the crowd went crazy, but Frazier went on to have 36 points and 19 assists and the Knicks went on to win the game. And we, as the few media members who were covering the game, were allowed into the locker roomawaiting the Knicks entrance. We were waiting for them. No TV intrusions. One: charter flights. The Knicks for a long time were the only team that flew charter, no one else flew charter in the 1970s. Two: the Chicago Bulls. They were the turning point in the separation of media from the players and the teams. The Bulls traveled with security and as rock stars. They built a practice facility, the Berto Center, which was very inaccessible to the media. The parking lot for the players is out of sight, so you didn't even know who was there. <a title="cheap nhl jerseys from china" href="http://www.cheapnhljersey.us/" target="_blank">cheap nhl jerseys from china</a> </p><p>Another big change came when closed practices became the norm rather than the exception, as they were in the 1970s. The only team that regularly closed practices was the Knicks. The Celtics never had a closed practice until the late 1980s. The accessibility was much different and the number of people covering was much fewer. You were able to move more freely than when more attention was focused on the league. In the 1970s, no local television came over on a daily basis. I was routinely the only person at practice in the early 1970s. I had unfettered and complete access to the players. I watched the entire practice, I was there after practice, I was the only one. The other paper did not have a guy there and there was no local TV. No one today can imagine that world. But that was the world I was fortunate enough to live in. Not only was I able to see the game unimpeded, but I was able to hear the oral part of the game was a very big deal. You could hear things, you had rapport with referees and coaches during the game. It was so vital. It kills me seeing some 5 year old kid eating ice cream, sitting in a seat that I should be sitting at or some beat man should be sitting at. In hindsight, if the Los Angeles Times had boycotted the Lakers and said, "We're not covering you until you put our people back where we belong," we would have headed this off at the pass 45 years ago. But they didn't and it gradually took root, and one team after another after another eliminated courtside seating. Now you have what you have: you can't see the game properly. In places like Boston, they don't even treat local radio with respect. Local radio sits in the same angled corner where the media sits. I could never have written the stories I wrote and did as well as I did writing game stories that's what it was all about then, that's not what it's about now if I did not have that courtside seating. They've wrecked the opportunity that we had.</p><p>There's no hope that it can return. It's not going to change. No new owner is going to come in and say, "I'm going to take away thesecourtsideseats that generate thousands of dollars per night for 41 games to give the print people better access so they can write better basketball stories." It's never going to happen. <a title="cheap nhl jerseys china" href="http://www.cheapnhljersey.us/" target="_blank">cheap nhl jerseys china</a> </p><p>David Stern did care for a long time, he did. One of his first moves was to hire Brian McIntyre as his first PR director. Everyone knew and liked Brian from his days at the Bulls. Brian was media friendly, always. They took care of the press as much as possible. Even then, they gradually gave over to the owners' desire to squeeze every dollar out of the high priced seats. I was invited into the owners meeting to make an impassioned plea to save courtside seating in 1982. They nodded politely and went on with their business. You also remark that "time has done a nasty job on his memory and legacy" making him "something of an afterthought" compared to his contemporaries. For younger fans, which modern player would you compare Havlicekto and what made him so special? <a title="wholesale nhl jerseys" href="http://www.cheapnhljersey.us/" target="_blank">wholesale nhl jerseys</a> </p><p>Ryan: The closest thing to John Havlicek in terms of the versatility at two positions and the ability to play offense and defense is Scottie Pippen. Scottie Pippen is a wonderful player, no question, but Scottie Pippen was not John Havlicek. John Havlicek was a master of moving without the ball, relentless energy. He could handle the ball. He taught himself to be a good enough ball handler that he could run fast breaks like a point guard. He had triple doubles before we formulated the concept, many of them we'll never know how many. There was a competitiveness and an intelligence about his game.</p><p>Havlicek went from being the most acclaimed sixth man in history, which he remains, to a starter who led the league in minutes played, a guy who became a first team All Star, a guy who led his team in scoring, rebounds and assists. He was acknowledged as the gold standard for stamina, after being a sixth man! He was a unique player and there was no one quite like him. In those days, in his prime, he was as good a guard as Jerry West and Oscar Robertson. And guard wasn't his natural position. He was a small forward by trade. He was the best player in the league without any question in my mind for a four year period, from 1969 to 1973. He's starting to fall through the cracks of history and that's very, very sad. You took Cowens to task for "smashing into a smaller player from the blind side" in your column, and then Cowens wrote you a letter requesting that his viewpoint on flopping be printed in the Globe.</p><p>The letter read, in part: "Pretending to be fouled when little or no contact is made is just as outrageously unsportsmanlike as knocking a player to the floor. . I have noticed that the number of pretenders has risen over the past three or four years resulting in numerous invisible contact fouls being assessed."</p><p>Did Cowens sway your opinion on flopping?</p><p>There were certain people who were famous for flopping. If you read Dave's letter, he thinks it's a very serious issue in the league. I think that was Dave's private issue. I don't think it was as widespread as he would suggest. It was something that truly bothered him. It offended his sense of morality and justice. At the time, I didn't really remember it was a major issue. Remember, the Boston Celtics had a guy who took part in a Sports Illustrated piece, Frank Ramsey, with illustrated drawings demonstrating the "art of drawing fouls."Ramsey was basically spilling all the company secrets about how to fool the referees into drawing fouls in Sports Illustrated! The Celtics organization was not in a position to take a high moral position against flopping when they had a guy teaching the world how to flop. I never forget where the referees are when I go into an act. The most reliable eye catcher is still the pratfall. Particularly on defense, when everything else fails, I fall down. Luckily, I happen to be type cast for the part, because I have a peculiar running style back on my heels, with my knees locked. It makes falling very easy and natural looking for me."</p>
