Story highlights
- Richard Overton, 107, volunteered in World War II and went to Pacific islands
- President Obama, audience of 4,000 honor Overton at Arlington National Cemetery
- Overton has his vices: "I drink whisky in my coffee. Sometimes I drink it straight"
At 107 years old, World War II veteran Richard Overton credits God for his longevity.
"If man had it, I'd have been dead, but God's got it, and he's keeping me well," said Overton, believed to be the oldest known American veteran of the war.
And in his more than century of life, he's seen both the good and bad.
"He was there at Pearl Harbor when the battle ships were still smoldering. He was there at Okinawa. He was there at Iwo Jima, where he said. 'I only got out of there by the grace of God,' " President Obama said Monday during a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Ceremony honoring Overton.
Overton volunteered for service in 1942, becoming a member of the Army's 188th Aviation Engineer Battalion, an all-black unit that served on various islands in the Pacific.
He doesn't enjoy thinking or talking about it, telling CNN he "forgot all that stuff."
"When the war ended, Richard headed home to Texas, to a nation bitterly divided by race. And his service on the battlefield was not always matched by the respect that he deserved at home. But this veteran held his head high," Obama told the crowd of roughly 4,000 people.
Overton visited Washington for the first time earlier this year. His first stop was the World War II Memorial. Then he saw the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial.
"As Richard sat in a wheelchair beneath that great marble statue, he wept. The crowd that gathered around him wept, too," Obama said Monday as he described the veteran's visit. "To see one of the oldest living veterans of World War II bear witness to a day, to the progress of a nation that he thought might never come."
Monday's audience gave Overton two standing ovations for his service. At the end of the day, he spoke to CNN while taking in the World War II Memorial at night.
Overton said he was happy to meet the President.
"I didn't think there (was) gonna ever be a black president," he said, "but it finally did happen."
And, while giving credit to God for living well over 100, Overton says he doesn't take any medicine and enjoys his vices.
"I drink whisky in my coffee. Sometimes I drink it straight," he said. "I smoke my cigars, blow the smoke out -- I don't swallow it."

A Gowen man was one of two people killed in a three-car crash that also left five people injured.
According to the Kent County Sheriff Department, a Dodge Caravan driven by Donovan McLaren, 36, of Gowen, was traveling north on Alden Nash in Lowell, south of Segwun Avenue, about 4:45 p.m. Saturday, August 27, when the accident occurred. A second minivan, driven by a 66-year-old Judith Elaine Christensen, of Alto, was traveling south on Alden Nash at the time of the accident. Police believe one of the minivans crossed the centerline and collided with the other, and then a third vehicle, a Dodge Stratus, that was also traveling south on Alden Nash, struck Christensen's vehicle as the accident occurred.
Christensen was pronounced dead at the scene, and McLaren died later at the hospital after being airlifted by AeroMed.
There were four other passengers in the McLaren van. Kristen McLaren, 35, Donovan's wife, was also airlifted by AeroMed with abdominal and leg injuries. Their three children, ages 10, 7, and 2, were also transported with serious injuries.
They were reportedly on their way back from a family reunion.
The third driver, Leesa Kay Kimble-Sees, 42, of Saranac was treated for minor injuries at the scene.
Alcohol was not believed to be a factor in the accident.

Tim Lincecum no-hits Padres
Lincecum at dominant best in 13-strikeout gem
San Diego --
Tim Lincecum was not thinking straight. His body was swimming in adrenaline that made him go, go, go, pitch after pitch, 148 in all.
When Yonder Alonso hit the easy fly to left that ended the 15th no-hitter in Giants history Saturday night, Lincecum was ready to pitch some more.
Buster Posey knocked the reality into Lincecum by charging from the plate and grabbing the 29-year-old pitcher from behind in a bear hug, and hoisting him in the air as Gregor Blanco squeezed the flyball to end the Giants' 9-0 victory.
"I wasn't thinking it was the last out at the end of the no-hitter," Lincecum said long after the truth set in. "I was just running on adrenaline the last couple of innings. My mind kept wanting to go into pitching mode."
Then came the dog pile, the joy and Ryan Vogelsong charging toward him with a big red water bucket. That huge splash, later replicated in the clubhouse with Champagne, doused any notion that Lincecum's days as an impact starting pitcher are over.
Eleven nights after the Giants were no-hit by the Reds' Homer Bailey, Lincecum was as dominating as ever in his first no-no since high school.
He struck out 13 for the first time since 2011, including six in a row from the second to fourth innings. He also walked four. It was easy for the 40,342 fans, including thousands in black and orange, to transport their minds back to Lincecum's Cy Young days.
"He had that eye-of-the-tiger look," manager Bruce Bochy said. "Good for Timmy. He's had to deal with a lot for a couple of years. Now he's part of history. I couldn't be happier for him."
Neither could Hunter Pence, who stamped his imprimatur all over this historic feat. He drove in five runs for the first time with the Giants with a groundball, a three-run triple and his 14th home run.
But that was not the half of it.
After Pablo Sandoval saved the no-hitter in the seventh by ranging far behind third base to field a Jesus Guzman groundball and throw to first for the third out, Pence saved it with two outs in the eighth when he raced in, lunged and caught Alexi Amarista's sinking line drive, the closest the Padres got to a hit.
Pence popped into the air like a jack-in-the-box as Lincecum raised his fist and pumped it repeatedly.
"That was really special," Lincecum said. "To be honest with you, I thought that was a hit off the bat. Hunter comes flying in out of nowhere and makes the Superman catch. It was hard not to feed off the excitement that that caused."
Pence always plays at that speed, but he felt an even greater obligation to charge that baseball.
"At that point, you've got to have all your chips in," he said. "Any ball that's close you're going to lay out for."
Lincecum's biggest enemy was not the Padres, but pitch count. His high this season had been 114. He had that after seven innings, and 131 after eight. His previous career high was 138.
However, with the All-Star break just ahead and Lincecum looking fluid, Bochy said he had no thoughts of removing Lincecum before the Padres got a hit, even though the bullpen was active in every inning after the sixth.
"He wouldn't have talked to me the rest of the year if I took him out," Bochy said.
Pitching coach Dave Righetti checked on Lincecum after the seventh and eighth innings and got the same answer. He was fine.
"I think I was pretty loose and fluid the whole game," Lincecum said. "I didn't feel fatigued one bit, not any more than I usually do in these games."
He started the ninth inning with his 13th strikeout, getting Chase Headley for the second time. Carlos Quentin then hit a fly to left before Alonso did the same to set off a celebration that this team has needed for a while now - that Lincecum needed after so much professional turmoil.
Shortly after the game, the team congratulated Lincecum en masse in the clubhouse and he tried to utter a few words. In describing that scene, Lincecum made the startling admission that the team has not always played with the required fire in this disappointing season.
"I just said thank you for the big plays, the big offensive output we had and no lack of excitement and energy throughout the game, which has kind of been the plague of us at times, not staying up through games."
On Saturday, they did, and the night ended in euphoria.
S.F. Giants' no-hitters
On Saturday night, Tim Lincecum became the seventh San Francisco Giants pitcher to throw a no-hitter. A look at those seven:
|Pitcher, score
|at S.D.
|Tim Lincecum, 9-0
|vs. Hou.
|Matt Cain, 10-0*
|vs. S.D.
|Jonathan Sanchez, 8-0

By DAVID GREEN
Parents of Fayette's kindergarten through third grade students should have received a letter from elementary school principal/superintendent Erik Belcher this week, informing them of the progress their student is making in reading skills.
Parents were notified their student is either "on track" or "not on track" to meet state standards—standards with big consequences. Through the new Third Grade Reading Promise from Ohio Gov. John Kasich and legislators, students must attain a minimum passing score on the new reading achievement test in the spring or they will be retained in third grade. The new law takes effect in the 2013-14 school year, making this year's second grade students the first to face the threat of retention. The policy does not apply to non-public charter schools.
The new effort might sound familiar to some parents and educators due to its similarity to Ohio's Fourth Grade Guarantee put into place more than 10 years ago. There is one major difference: Some loopholes regarding retention were attached to the 1997 legislation; this time there are very few exceptions and parents have no say in the matter.
Belcher expects some parents won't be pleased with the news about retentions and he wants them to know the decision didn't originate at the school.
"This isn't coming from us," he said. "It's from legislators passing laws."
The letters sent to parents list services the school currently provides to improve reading skills, plus additional instructional services that will be made available to a child who is not on track.
These services, and other tenets of the Third Grade Promise have actually been part of Fayette's reading instruction for years, Belcher said.
For example, the new law requires that students' reading skills are tested at the start of the school year, something the school has done for years and, in fact, does three times a year. Progress is monitored throughout the school year.
A plan must be established for students who are not on track and parent involvement is encouraged—as it has been in the past. Teachers want good communication with parents, however, parents will not be able to fight retention if ordered.
Exceptions to retention can be granted for special education students who have an individualized education program (IEP) and also for some students who speak English as a second language.
Belcher said the parents of about half of the students received letters indicating their child could be in danger of retention. He figures that's probably on the high side, but he doesn't want the news to come as a shock at the end of the school year.
He also thinks the number is high for another reason: Some children experience a loss of progress over the summer if they aren't reading at home. However, the state requires an assessment by Sept. 30, followed by a notification to parents. He also expects many children to progress through the year and lose their "not on track" status.
The district is using federal Title II funds to pay a teacher at the substitute rate to work on reading skills with second grade students and others in small groups.
"We're trying to work a year ahead," he said, "as we count down to next year."
Starting in 2013-14, teachers who work with students who are having reading problems will be required to obtain a special endorsement through additional study.
The idea behind the legislation is the belief that mastery of reading by third grade is essential for success in other subjects. Several states now have third grade reading standards in place, but not all of them have the same retention rule.
Like many educators, Belcher isn't a fan of forced retention.
"Research shows that one of the worst things you can do is to hold them back," he said. "It can scar a student. I can handle change and higher standards, but I can't handle hurting children. I think it's morally wrong."
In reviewing retention policies in two other states, the Education Commission of the States published a paper in March of this year stating that retention policies create a sense of urgency in efforts to improve reading skills, but cautioned that retention should not be the first and only step taken.
Early identification and intervention are seen as more likely to improve student performance, the paper concluded, and suggested an expansion of quality pre-kindergarten programs. States with the most success, whether retention was used or not, focus on small class size and intensive, personalized help.

Um! If any girlfish are reading this, please beware when you come across male freshwater llanos mosquitofish, otherwise known as Gambusia quadruncus. The evolution of the females of this Mexican species has given them a large ball of tissue that blocks most of their genital canal in order to allow them to keep away the riff-raff and only mate with the desirable males. Unfortunately, the males have evolved in kind, their penises now featuring a four-pronged hook that helps them "overcome resistance" and latch on to the females' genital pore in order to deposit their sperm.
Here's Researcher Brian Langerhans of North Carolina State University, whose studies undoubtedly make him a great bar conversationalist, on the rather obvious benefits of having a dick that looks like a sword from Final Fantasy 8. (Click through for a shot of it, if you dare.)
Typically, reproduction is more costly in females, so females favor ways of reducing mating with 'lower quality' males, but reproduction is cheap in males and so selection favors ways of mating with as many females as possible.
Little does Langerhans know that he has just penned the opening monologue of the pilot for racy new HBO series Sex In The Mexican Freshwater. YO YOU GUYS, FISHDICKS.

It must be every boss' worst nightmare: to receive an employee's resignation letter on the Op-Ed page of The New York Times. And so Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein could be excused for suspending his efforts doing "God's work" for a few moments as he lamented reading Greg Smith's very public letter of resignation, called "Why I Am Leaving Goldman Sachs" in Wednesday's Gray Lady.
First he was probably wondering, "who is this Greg Smith?" Though Smith has an impressive job title, "executive director and head of the firm's United States equity derivatives business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa," as The Times put it in his bio–Goldman Sachs has some 30,000 employees and nothing Smith wrote about in his op-ed conveyed the sense that he was especially important at the firm.
In fact, from the biographical details Smith includes, one gets the sense he is in his early 30s and his responsibilities have included recruiting and mentoring college kids for the firm's internship program. Smith brags that his clients have a total asset base in excess of a trillion dollars, but at Goldman Sachs it doesn't take too many clients to reach sums in the trillions.
The nub of Smith's complaint is that "the interests of the client continue to be sidelined" in deference to "whatever will bring the biggest profit" to the firm. And this vexes the moral principles of the young man: "Call me old-fashioned, but I don't like selling my clients a product that is wrong for them."
Indeed, it is unethical to sell products that are unsuitable. There are serious ethical questions about selling even suitable products. Why stop at merely suitable products when there is a best product to meet a client's need? But while Smith pays lip service to moral principles, what he is really doing in his letter is preening about his conscience in a way that is sure to damage the reputation of the firm that has provided him highly compensated employment for 12 years while probably setting him up for a book deal or movie of the lucrative "kiss-and-tell" variety.
That's the only way to read this letter–even if his allegations about Goldman are true. His letter, while exhibiting enough salaciousness to make a Times editor drool–"Today, if you make enough money for the firm (and are not currently an ax murderer) you will be promoted into a position of influence"–has no real substance even while it is larded with clichés and juvenile turns of phrase ("Call me old-fashioned…" "I mean, come on." "It just doesn't feel right to me anymore.")
Smith himself admits, "I don't know of any illegal behavior," so his main problem is the money-loving culture at the firm. While not unusual for a financial firm, it could indeed, if true, lead to the firm's demise if it loses the trust of its clients, as Smith argues. And if Goldman's clients didn't suffer from a lack of trust, his op-ed will certainly get them to question the firm now, so Smith is unethically interfering in the livelihood of 30,000 Goldman employees.
Smith decries the absence of moral leadership at Goldman Sachs, but he had an opportunity to model that leadership himself. As an executive director, he could have made sure those working under him understood that the client's interest always had to come first. He could also have brought his moral concerns to those working above him. These are difficult things to do, but those with moral courage must do them. Without first taking these steps, and without an immediate and objective threat to Goldman clients, Smith had no business blackening the reputation of Goldman Sachs and its employees.

- Participate in any one of 10 fast-paced events including downhill alpine skiing, slalom skiing, bobsledding, halfpipe snowboarding, skit jumping, freestyle mogul skiing, speed skating, figure skating, and curling
- Trial Mode allows players to select events with aspirations of gold and record smashing in mind
- Championship Mode, the hardest level of difficulty, lets players pick one country and compete in all events with the hopes of becoming a hometown hero
- Represent one of eight countries from around the world including the United States, Japan, England, France, Germany, Italy, Canada and Holland to bring home some nationalistic pride
- Performance characteristics and abilities vary between each country
- Vivid graphics bring winter sports to life with the spray of snow in the alpine slalom or the shimmer of the ice in the treacherous Bobsled run
- Utilize the game¿s two-player split-screen mode to go head-to-head for an in-your-face demonstration of speed and skills
ESPN International Winter Sports 2002 is a simple concept at heart. It sets out to bring gamers some of the coolest winter sports -- a hot spot thanks to the recent Olympic 2002 Winter Games. You can choose to go straight to the sport of your choice via Trial Mode or you can attempt to claim the crown as Ice King or Queen in two gender-specific Championship modes. Trial Mode is the best option to begin with since you'll need to become accustomed to the different sports and control mechanics. You begin by choosing a sport and a male or female from your favorite country including USA, Canada, Japan, Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, and Austria. Oddly enough, the snowbound lover of the cold, Switzerland, wasn't included. The following sports are there for the choosing:
- Downhill -- Alpine Skiing
- Slalom -- Alpine Skiing
- K90=Individual -- Ski Jumping
- K120=Individual -- Ski Jumping
- Moguls -- Freestyle Skiing
- Halfpipe -- Snowboarding
- Speed Skating -- 500m
- Bobsleigh
- Curling
- Figure Skating
The beauty of each of these events is that they all feature different control mechanics. Most are fairly straightforward and the becoming skilled at the event depends on improving your own skills. Certainly there is button mashing, but there's enough flexibility that you have to know what you're doing as well. In fact, there are a few great examples of the clever control mechanics. For Figure Skating, a female-only sport, the controls are very much akin to Konami's own Dance Dance Revolution. You choose from one of three songs, each representing a difficulty level of easy, normal, or hard. The music begins to play and you have to match up the direction of the oncoming stream of arrows with the D-pad. Everything syncs in with the tempo of the song, so you actually have to listen. Then during a brief combo sequence you can perform triples and other special tricks by quickly pressing a defined button sequence, such as Triangle, Square, X, X. You are rated according to your timing and ability to perform combos. The arcade style control definitely makes Figure Skating one of the most amusing modes.
Another favorite of ours is the Halfpipe event. It's one of the most demanding events thanks to a clever control setup. You don't control the snowboarder at all. All you have to do is tap buttons and directions. Sure it sounds easy, but it relies heavily on perfect timing. There are four target zones -- A, B, C, D -- which are randomly chosen by the CPU. You then have to press one of the four face buttons when a colored bar enters that zone. Depending on which button you choose you will perform a more or less difficult trick. Then you will see a set of arrows defining how the tricks are completed. To perform the trick you must press the D-pad in the specific directions. This whole process is just for one of the seven tricks you must pull off for the event. It all happens very quickly, so timing is of the essence. You'll have to practice the event quite a bit before you garner a gold medal.
There are some stinker events, however. Dowhill skiing and bobsledding, two events that are known for their sense of speed and all-around extreme nature just don't feel right. The skiing is dull as a result of the lack of speed, and bobsledding is even more lackluster without a first-person mode.
Overall, the ESPN International Winter Sports 2002 simply lacks enough well executed and compelling sports to make it an A or even B title. We at the IGN office would have very much enjoyed seeing some more of the creative winter sports such as a biathlon featuring skiing and target shooting. More or less, the most entertaining elements of Winter Sports 2002 are the multiplayer mode and, perhaps, earning passwords in the Championship mode, which you can in turn post on Konami's site to see where you stand with other players. That said, the title loses it's appeal pretty quickly. You just don't get that drive to keep going because the gameplay is pretty shallow overall. It's a trait rather inherent to these types of games.
Winter Sports 2002 sets a good winter tone with some decent texture work and lighting. In curling and the ice skating events you'll see mapped reflections overlaid by dirt and scratches. In the outdoor events you can usually see gusts of wind blowing snow across the screen, so the presentation is good. Furthermore, animations are pretty nice, featuring smaller details such as characters attempting to catch their breath. Everything feels pretty smooth and doesn't take away from the realism. The lower poly characters, however, aren't that impressive, and you don't see too many other texture effects outside of the rudimentary ground reflections to help improve their look. All the action does run at a smooth 60 frames per second, and for that we're very pleased.
ESPN International Winter Sports 2002 is a multi-platform title, and the differences between, say, the GameCube version and the PlayStation 2 version are subtle. Namely, in the PlaySttion 2 version, you'll see a lot more flickering and aliasing issues since its an inherent issue with the hardware. Still, the differences aren't enough to sway purchase one way or another.
The audio presentation is mediocre. The same menu music plays over and over again, and each event features only the necessary amount of commentary. As well the different sports are overlaid with a different musical beat to drive the action. Lastly, sound effects are also very basic. You hear more of the music and commentary than you sound effects from equipment and the environment.
Winter Sports 2002 features a medley of gameplay modes, but unfortunately not all of them are fun. Everyone will have a favorite, but the bobsledding and downhill skiing events are particularly boring, lacking the thrill and speed associated with them. The most fun I had was usually in figure skating and the halfpipe as they required a good amount of skill and dexterity. Playing single-player gets old fast, though. I had to call IGN Overlord Peer Schneider over for a round of curling to break up the single-player monotony. Eventually we ended up gravitating to a few other multiplayer sports, and this is really the biggest appeal of the game. You can get a group of friends together and enjoy the various sports. Most of this can be accomplished in a night or two. If you really want to hone in on your skills, earn some gold medals, and post your scores on Konami's website then the single-player experience may appeal to you.
I recommend sticking to renting this one, though. It just doesn't have a lot of lasting appeal.

GOLD COAST, Australia – If Vitor Belfort is forced to withdraw from UFC on FX 7, Hector Lombard would like the UFC to call him – stat.
Lombard (32-3-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) called out Belfort's next scheduled opponent, Michael Bisping, after knocking out Rousimar Palhares on the first main-card bout of UFC on FX 6.
"I will jump in," Lombard told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
Belfort (21-10 MMA, 10-6 UFC) and Bisping (23-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC) headline UFC on FX 7, which takes place at Ginasio Estadual Geraldo Jose de Almeida (Ginasio do Ibirapuera) in Sao Paulo.
If Belfort doesn't get hurt in preparation for the bout, Lombard said he'll wait to meet the winner.
It remains to be seen whether Bisping will oblige a meeting with the former champ. The Brit has been vocal in his desire to get a title shot and expected his most recent win, a decision over Brian Stann, to earn him one.
Lombard, who heckled Bisping in a recent interview, will lobby nonetheless for the fight. He got started on Saturday.
"I would love to fight Michael Bisping – he's said a lot of things about me lately and I want to settle it in the Octagon," Lombard said after knocking Palhares into orbit at the Gold Coast Convention Centre in Gold Coast, Australia.
Lombard's win over Palhares reversed a lackluster decision loss to Tim Boetsch at UFC 149.

Let's admit it, our muscle cars are loud and can be downright rough at times. Big-blocks always sound good in the parking lot at idle but it can be an ear-bleeding experience once you get up to speed. Forget about having a conversation with the passenger. Sounds reverberate, and with only a thin piece of sheetmetal separating you from the exhaust below there isn't much in the form of sound dampening, or heat protection for that matter. Knowing the potentially deafening decibal readings our budget big-block might create, we hunted down a solution for quelling all that noise and heat.
A little research led us to a simple solution from Quiet Ride Solutions with their pre-cut and ready-to-install "quiet riding comfort" kits. This all-in-one package comes with everything you need to complete your interior, including Dynamat, heat shielding, spray adhesive, and foil tape. And with more than 700 kits available, finding the right insulation package for your muscle car shouldn't be an issue. For our El Camino, the kit included insulation items for everything we needed to cover, from the firewall to the rear panel, and the floorpan to the roof. To finish the job, we also went with a one-piece carpet kit from Original Parts Group, which included new Fisher door sill plates.
Installation time will vary, but in our case it required two solid days of work from start to finish. All said and done, we were rewarded with a factory-fresh appearing interior and even had a slight hint of new-car smell. Trust us, the hard work is well worth the effort; just remember to please remove your shoes first before entering.
Quick Notes
What We Did
Laid down insulation and finished it off with fresh carpet
Bottom Line
Taking your time is crucial to making it all fit

MANILA, Philippines - The Philippines said Thursday, June 27, it was looking to give the United States and Japan greater access to its military bases, as it seeks to counter what it perceives as a rising security threat from China.
The government is initially drafting a plan that would allow US forces to spend more time on Filipino bases, something that could also be offered to Japan's military later, Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin said.
"If and when there is agreement on the access, then there will be equipment coming in from the (United) States," Gazmin told a joint news conference in Manila after meeting with visiting Japan Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera.
"Now as far as Japan is concerned, we do welcome other countries —particularly Japan since Japan is a strategic partner — in accordance with our existing protocols."
President Benigno Aquino III had already stated that the Philippines would welcome an increased US military presence, amid tense disputes with China over competing claims to parts of the South China Sea.
Expanded exercises
Gazmin's comments indicated the Philippines was hoping to expand on the standard military exercises that the two nations' armed forces regularly engage in.
"Modalities for the increased rotational presence are right now being examined. One modality is the conduct of high-value, high-impact exercise," Gazmin said, without elaborating.
Gazmin emphasized the plan would not see any new bases or a permanent US presence in the Philippines.
The United States had tens of thousands of troops stationed in the Philippines, at the Clark Air Base and Subic Naval Base north of Manila, until the early 1990s.
The United States, a former colonial ruler of the Philippines, was forced to abandon the bases amid anti-US sentiment and a row over rent. The constitution now bans any permanent foreign bases in the Philippines.
However the Clark and Subic facilities, now partly converted to business use, still host and service US military aircraft and warships on short-term exercises.
One of those began Thursday in waters between the Philippines' main island of Luzon and a disputed shoal now occupied by China.
Several hundred US Special Forces troops have also been rotating through Mindanao since early 2002 to train Filipino soldiers who are fighting Islamic militants. - Rappler.com

Venus And Serena Williams Lose At Wimbledon On Same Day
Both Serena and Venus Williams were eliminated from Wimbledon's singles tournament Monday, ending a streak of success at the grass event.
Their exit means that for the first time since 2006, neither Williams sister will play in the Wimbledon women's final.
Here's part of a Newscast report NPR's Philip Reeves filed from London:
On an unusually hot day in London, the attempt by Serena Williams to come back from her health problems came to a sticky end when she was beaten by France's Marion Bartoli - the No. 9 seed. Williams lost the first set 6-3, but put up a fierce fight in the second, saving five match points before going out of the contest on a tie-break.
For all her many titles, Serena Williams was always likely to struggle in this contest, after being out of action for months. Soon afterwards, sister Venus, a five-time champion who's also had injury problems, was also shown the door, losing to the 32nd seed, Bulgarian Tsvetana Pironkova.
The sisters are not entered in the doubles bracket this year. Their departure is the latest setback for American tennis at this year's Wimbledon.
Andy Roddick went on a nice run before being eliminated by Feliciano Lopez, to whom he'd never lost before. With the Williams' departures, that leaves Mardy Fish, ranked No. 9 in the world, as the lone American — male or female — in the singles tournament.
Monday, Fish took the first set in his match against Tomas Berdych (it was tied 4-4 at the writing of this post).
Several U.S. doubles players, such as the Bryan brothers and the team of Lisa Raymond and Liezel Huber, are still in contention.

The first junior ski to feature Skintec, for young cross-country racers in ski clubs.
Sintered world cup base
100% Mohair skins deliver a strong grip and fast glide in all snow conditions.
Light, stable and tough. Densolite is produced in Atomic's own facilities and comes in three variations. SDS camber construction keeps kick zone high in the glide phase for no friction. Then easy to compress in the kick phase for full energy into the kick.
The Race Junior profile is perfectly adapted it to young cross-country skiers.
The Atomic Redster C7 Skintec Jr is for classic-track champions of tomorrow. And because there's no need for kick-waxing, parents and coaches will love it too. Instead of kick-wax, Mohair grip zones produce excellent kick and exceptional glide in all snow conditions and temperatures. And you can replace the grip zone after heavy wear. We've also combined our top-of-the-range World Cup base with Race Grinding and a narrow sidecut to maximize the glide phase, and this season we've given the ski a cool new design.
