Cross Country Grand Prix 2014: Here we go!
By: Kate Queeney, USATF-NE XC Committee Member
Sunday, Sept. 7 marks the kickoff to the 2014 USATF-NE Cross Country Grand Prix series, with the Greater Boston Track Club XC Invitational in Wellesley, MA. An updated list of the series scoring rules and awards structure can be found here.
Before jumping into the upcoming series, let's remind ourselves of the 2013 series results. Starting with the women's side, GBTC pulled out a decisive victory at the final, championship meet in Franklin Park last November to break a tie with Western Mass Distance Project and take the series title. Millennium Running burst onto the scene halfway through the season and made a decisive run, finishing a strong third place with only three races under their belts (singlets?). WMDP ran uncontested in the masters division for much of the season but scored a convincing win over six other teams at the championship meet to take the series title. In the senior division, Greater Derry Track Club scored the series win despite losing the championship to Cambridge Sports Union. Liberty AC stood alone atop the 60+ podium. Individual series winners were Sydney Fitzpatrick of New Balance Boston in the open division, Dana Parrot of WMDP in masters and Anne Hird of Ronald McDonald House of Providence in the 50+ division.
Many of last year's competitors will toe the line this Sunday, and we asked them for their thoughts on what makes cross country (and this series) so special. It's generally not hard to convince distance runners of the joys of cross country, but Anne Hird put it both succinctly and artfully: "It is running in its purest form. Times don't matter, because each course is different; it is all about head-to-head racing." That head-to-head racing is enhanced by the series format; as Anne points out, there's a certain "camaraderie that comes from running against the same group throughout the series." (This writer can attest to the special camaraderie of being passed by Anne at about the 2-mile mark of almost every race.)
Dana Parrot probably speaks for many of us when she says that her favorite memory of last year's season was the final, championship race: "I was terrified and thrilled to be at the starting line with some of my former teammates (when I lived in New England almost 20 years ago). My speed may be lacking compared to back then, but my heart is still in the game."
If this still doesn't have you digging through the mudroom for your spikes, GBTC would like to whet your appetite for cross country with. . . pie. That's right, pie, at the first race of the series; not really much more to say. See you there!
Stay tuned for more updates and a men's 2013 recap too!
Next Stop in the Road Racing Grand Prix: GMAA Labor Day 15k
Four races down and three to go in the USATF-NE Road Racing Grand Prix series. Next up: the Green Mountain Athletic Association (GMAA) Labor Day 15k on August 31 at 9 am in South Burlington, VT. And if you're not on this list, it means you haven't registered yet. Online registration closes on August 29 and race day registration will be held at South Burlington High School between 7:30 – 8:30 a.m.
Need to know a little more about the race? First, it's a USATF-NE Grand Prix championship, as mentioned. Teams and individuals looking to maintain or move up in the standings only have a few opportunities to do so, and this is one of them. For reference, the Grand Prix team leaders are currently:
- Men's open team: Western Mass Distance Project
- Men's 40+ team: Central Mass Striders
- Men's 50+ team: Whirlaway Racing Team
- Men's 60+ team: Greater Lowell Road Runners
- Men's 70+ team: Gate City Striders
- Women's open team: Millennium Running
- Women's 40+ team: Whirlaway Racing Team
- Women's 50+ team: Whirlaway Racing Team
- Women's 60+ team: Gate City Striders
Individual open leaders are Whirlaway's Ruben Sanca and GBTC's Nicole Casey. However, the standings across the board are close, with leaders only ahead by a point or two.
For added incentive to trek up to the Green Mountain state, keep in mind the $3,400 available in cash prizes. Here is the break-down of team, individual and age group awards.
Lastly, if you'd like a course description before departing for the race this weekend, Level Renner published a detailed preview of the 15k course that offers views of the Green Mountains, Adirondacks and Lake Champlain.
Will we see you there?

USATF-NE Club Spotlight: NE Distance
Many of you may have heard of the USATF-NE, Rhode Island-based club NE Distance. If you haven't, you should know that
it was started by Nich Haber in 2012. Nich is the club's President of the Board (on a Board that includes American Record Holder Molly Huddle!), but also serves as an acting Executive Director, managing business issues, fundraising, grant writing and maintaining relationships with partners. On top of this, Nich manages travel and race entries for the athletes, helps them obtain part-time work with their after-school partners in Woonsocket and coordinates their youth program with the Woonsocket public school system.
As you can tell, Nich wears several hats and has been working hard since 2012 to get NE Distance off the ground and growing to compete at a highly competitive level. It appears that his work has paid off by looking at the club's current roster, which includes:
- David Goodman— The 2012 NCAA DII National Champion in the Steeplechase and a three-time USATF-NE Champion
- Henry Sterling — NE Distance's newest athlete, he's a Dartmouth grad who sees his potential best in the Steeplechase, but is interested in staying a well-rounded runner by competing in the mile and 5k as well
- Katrina Spratford — The 8-time All American from Shippensburg, is a 10k runner that is focusing on Cross Country in the fall and may do some road races
- Lara Crofford — A Nebraska Cornhusker, has been a strong 10k runner but is looking to move up in distance and take to the roads
We caught up with Nich on how the club has grown, what they've been up to. To sum it up, Nich told us that "Every year has been better than the one before it, and I know that next year will be better than this one!" His optimism and excitement is great to hear. Check out our interview with Nich below to get up to speed on the community-based distance running project.
USATF-NE: How has NE Distance grown since its founding in 2012?
NH: We started with one athlete in 2012, added another at the beginning of 2013, two more in September of 2013 and we're looking to have eight this fall. We've doubled every year! At this rate, in a few years everyone on earth will be an NE Distance athlete!
Seriously, it's been a challenge to start a group like this from the ground up and the athletes that have joined us truly believe in our mission of blending athlete development with community building. We expanded this year to include athletes that are not full athlete-in-resident fellows. They are committed to train at a high level, but do not need housing from us. We are excited as the more athletes we have in our group, the more of a critical mass we hit and the better the program is for everyone involved – the other athletes, the community and our fans who are looking for more athletes to root for.
USATF-NE: Are you actively recruiting?
NH: We have three slots open for our non-resident members. We are looking for folks who want to live in the Woonsocket/Providence area who want to compete at a high level.
USATF-NE: We saw that your team recently signed up 145 kids for a new middle school program. This is great! Any specific plans for this new program or anything in particular you'd like to share about it?
NH: This is probably our proudest achievement and is truly a culmination of what we are trying to do with the NE Distance program. Woonsocket middle school sports were all but eliminated in 2009 due to budget cuts. Our athletes moved into town and started to get everyone's notice. We were lucky to find Performance Physical Therapy of RI who was interested in sponsoring us to restart the middle school cross country team. As soon as we announced it, a reporter from the local paper called me up and we were literally front page news.
For the public school system, they were absolutely thrilled. They were getting high level athletes who had already spent at least a year working with Woonsocket youth to come in and coach the kids at the middle school. The NEDi athletes went into the schools to sign up kids and were overwhelmed; 145 kids signed up. Lara has already started weekly runs with the kids in town and everyone will be back in Woonsocket in August gearing up to kick off the team at the end of the summer.
We are seeking a sponsor to help us continue this program for the kids into the indoor and outdoor seasons, so if anyone is interested in helping our team help these young people, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.
USATF-NE: Are any USATF-NE hosted races a part of NE Distance's upcoming race schedule – and if so, which ones, and why?
NH: Our goal is to have our athletes compete on Team USA, so the USATF-NE races are great vehicles to get us to that level. We will definitely be at the Cross Country races this fall, especially the Boston Mayor Cup and the USATF-NE Championship. The CVS Downtown 5k is in our backyard, so we'll be there. USATF-NE hosts some of the best indoor meets in the country, so look for us at the BU Terrier & Valentine meets as well as the USATF-NE Championships. Outdoors, we're big fans of the NBB Twilight Meets.
And be sure to look for our middle school kids to open up their season at the Ocean State XC meet in Goddard Park in Rhode Island on Friday Sept 26.

New England Cross Country 2014: Closer than you think!
By: Kate Queeney, USATF-NE XC Committee Member
Summer's heat has just started to creep over New England, but it's not too early to start thinking about running during the crisp days of fall. The 2014 USATF-NE Cross Country Grand Prix series will again feature five races from September through November. The series, a mix of old favorites and a couple new races, is listed below and on the main cross country schedule page, where you can also find a rich array of other New England cross country races to choose from.

12.5 Laps On The Outdoor Track, Are You In?
The 5000 meter race is a popular event for distance track and field athletes. However, for runners who keep to the roads and trails, many haven't tested their strength on the flat oval. Now is their chance.
With the USATF-NE All Terrain Runner (ATR) series, distance runners test themselves on varying surfaces and distances, including the track. In fact, many athletes competing in the new series tried the distance at the recent New Balance Boston Twilight meet at Bentley University. New Balance Boston's Marguerite Cramer took the women's title in an impressive time of 17:49.01. But it was the men's 5000 meter field that saw some serious depth. Twenty-eight competitors came through in under 18 minutes, with the winner Austin Gilbert crossing the finish line in 14:57.61.
If you've already completed your 5000 meter track race and are looking to score it in the ATR series, be sure to submit your time through our web form.
As a reminder, USATF-NE members may submit their own 5000 meter result from any USATF sanctioned track meet between May 5 and July 20. A competitor may complete several outdoor 5000 meter races. However, only the fastest time will count in the final scoring.
Here is a list of some upcoming outdoor track meets on our website. While the next two NBB Twilight Meets don't feature the 5000 meter event, the fourth meet in their series does on June 7th.
For more information on the 2014 ATR series, visit our website. Next up in the schedule: the Loon Mountain Race on July 6th.
USATF-NE Athlete Q&A: Jeff Veiga
Team RUN's Jeff Veiga was the winner of the third race in our Road Racing Grand Prix series, the An Ras Mor 5k on March 30 with a time of 14:39. The recent UMass Lowell graduate has been hitting some impressive times post-graduation, even after considering "hanging up the spikes" this past fall due to some nagging injuries. How has he managed to continue this success?
Learn about his strategy and international racing goals in our exclusive Q&A with Jeff.
Q: What was your strategy for the An Ras Mor 5k? Walk us through your race.
JV: Going into the race I didn't really know much about the course. I hadn't run it or even had a chance to look at a map. Strategy wise, I was just planning to go out with the lead group and hang on as long as I could because I hadn't really tested myself beforehand and didn't have the best idea where I was with my fitness. But once the race started, I felt good so I just tucked in behind the lead group and tried to stay as relaxed as possible.
From early on, the lead group of Nick, Ruben (both of the Whirlaway Racing Team) and myself separated from the rest of the field. I believe shortly after 1.5 miles, Ruben and I started to pull away from Nick. After that, the two of us just went back and forth a few times until right before the 3 mile mark, where I threw in a surge to pull slightly ahead and then kick it in towards the finish line.
Q: How did you feel about your race result? (We're impressed). How did it match up to your expectations?
JV: I didn't really expect much going into the race. I thought I would definitely come away with a top five finish and maybe crack the top three if I was lucky. So to come away with the win and a good time I was definitely happy and surprised.
Q: Why did you decide to compete in the An Ras Mor 5k and can we expect to see you at any of the other upcoming Grand Prix series races?
JV:I decided to run the An Ras Mor 5k because it was part of the USATF-NE Grand Prix series and I wanted to represent Team RUN, as we had a chance to place very well in the team standings – which we did with a third place finish.
I do plan to compete in more of the Grand Prix races as long as they fit into my racing schedule, which is mainly targeted at running a fast 5K and possibly a 10k on the track.
Q: What is your training like right now – and is there anything in particular you're training for?
JV: My training is going very well right now. I was hurt throughout the entire fall season and strongly considered hanging up the spikes if I couldn't get healthy by the end of January. But after a few visits with Dr. John Donovan of Advantage Chiropractic, I was healthy again and running pain-free. Since then, I have been steadily increasing my mileage, in hopes of continuing my career and competing at a high level. Right now I am running about 95 miles per week, with one long run, one long workout and a little bit of speed here and there.
Having recently received my Portuguese citizenship, I am currently training to hopefully compete in and place well at the Portuguese National Champions in Lisbon, Portugal on July 26 and 27.
Q: Lastly, we know you're a member of Team RUN. Tell us what it's like being on the team and what aspects of the team compelled you to join?
JV: I've been a member of Team RUN for almost a year now. It's really fun and we have a great group of guys, some which I actually train with on a regular basis – and we are all well supported by our sponsor Marx Running & Fitness in Acton, MA. I had been working with the team's coach Mark Coddaire, as he's also the owner of the Marx Running & Fitness store, so I knew about the team and everything associated with it. It just seemed like the best fit for me at the time, and I feel like I definitely made a good choice.
*Thanks to Jeff for taking the time to share his story with us. We wish him continued success on all levels – from local to international!

Norval United has BIG dreams
God is doing something at Norval United Church, and we feel like God is calling us to more in the future.
Over the coming months you'll be hearing lots about our dreams and opportunities to get behind them. We're excited about what God is doing, and we'd love for you to join the excitement.
Season of Creation. Season of Change.
Change is in the air. The leaves, the air, the temperatures... all Creation is pointing us towards the future... and change.
Here at Norval United, we're changing back into our Fall rhythms. Two services each Sunday, choir practice, supporting community partners, youth and kids programs. But there are some new changes too. A new series of small groups, a new prayer group, lots of new faces and volunteers and opportunities.
We are also getting closer and closer to realizing our dream of a new home in Georgetown South. Change is definitely in the air!
Maybe you are looking for a change, some new energy, a deeper community to belong to and help grow. We would love for you to be part of what God is doing in and through Norval United Church this Fall. Come on over sometime and check out what is going on!

November 27, 2014
FREEPORT (WIFR) -- Hundreds of people looking for a better future and maybe a new career packed into the Student Conference Center at Highland Community College.
This year's career fair is the first since 2008 to have more than 40 companies participate.
The school says they're anticipating roughly 600 visitors to the fair.
Many of those visitors are people who were recently employed in the Freeport area but have fallen on hard times.
Shelley Moll worked at a company in Freeport for 30 years until she was laid-off this February. She says now she has to start at square one.
"It's frightening," said Moll, "...because you don't know what to expect."
Moll hopes she can find a new job soon.
The job fair continues tomorrow at the college from 9am to 1pm.

Was any other empire in
Was any other empire in history any different? My argument stands, that life is better to be a citizen of a dominant empire than to be subjugated by a foreign one. If the US is out of the picture globally, do you really think we would not be harassed or coerced by some other power? I'd rather have it the other way around.

DEFINITION of 'Country Risk Premium - CRP'
The additional risk associated with investing in an international company rather than the domestic market. Macroeconomic factors such as political instability, volatile exchange rates and economic turmoil causes investors to be wary of overseas investment opportunities and thus require a premium for investing. The country risk premium (CRP) is higher for developing markets than for developed nations.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Country Risk Premium - CRP'
The CAPM can be adjusted to reflect the additional risks of international investing by adjusting the model for the CRP.
Re = Rf + β(Rm – Rf + CRP)
As expected by general financial theory, investors seeking to invest into a region such as Zimbabwe must be compensated with greater expected returns.
Systematic RiskThe risk inherent to the entire market or entire market segment. ...

Cricketer Phil Hughes dies
Adelaide | South Australian cricketer Phil Hughes has died, aged 25.
Cricket Australia made the announcement a short time ago.
Adelaide Oval has invited fans to leave personal tributes to Hughes at the ground's southern gates, off War Memorial Drive.
"Our thoughts go out to Phillip's family, friends, and the entire cricket community on this incredibly sad day," Cricket Australia said in a statement.
Hughes has been in a coma for two days since being struck by a bouncer during a Sheffield Shield match in Sydney.
"It is my sad duty to inform you that a short time ago Phillip Hughes passed away," said Australian cricket team doctor Peter Brukner in a statement.
"He never regained consciousness following his injury on Tuesday.
"He was not in pain Full Story »
Cricket world joins family in mourning
Sydney | The family of Phillip Hughes' said they are devastated by the death of the Australian Test cricketer.
Reading from a prepared statement on behalf of the Hughes family, Australian captain Michael Clarke said: "We are devastated by the loss of our much-loved son Phillip."
"Cricket was part of his life and we shared that with him."
"It's been a very difficult few days and we appreciate all the support we have received from family, friends, players, Cricket Australia, St Vincent's Hospital and the general public," an emotional Clarke read.
"We'd like to thank the nursing staff and Cricket NSW for their efforts with Phillip."
Cricket Australia chief James Sutherland said Hughes will be sadly missed and forever reme Full Story »
Legal mind nurtured in SA, shaping the world
Washington DC | Meet the Adelaide-raised lawyer who is about to take on one of the most significant legal positions in the world.
On 6 March, 1965, South Australia changed forever. After more than 26 years as Premier, Sir Thomas Playford's reign was over.
It took just two seats to change government that day: Glenelg (now Bright) and Barossa.
In Glenelg, a grassroots campaign saw Hugh Hudson defeat Sir Baden Pattinson.
It was 16-year-old James Crawford's first opportunity to see democracy in action – his father, and well-known local businessman, Jim Crawford, had been an ardent supporter of Hudson throughout the campaign.
"One of my first political excitements was the election he (Hudson) won for the seat of Bright in which he ended the Playford Government," James Crawford recalls Full Story »

Track record of crime by the men/women claiming to be the STATE
How about breach of duty for all state bureaucrats using FRNs as an unlawful tender in the payment of debts instead of their voluntarily bound prohibition of Article 1 Section 10 to use only gold and silver coin as tender? This is just one example of their crimes. How about the regulatory status of corporate personhood vs People with unalienable rights? The corporate personhood of People is criminal Fraud. Their "citations" they force upon people using threats, fear and intimidation is felony extortion. Shall we get into the details of assault, slavery, murder, corruption, kidnapping and much much more?
And no, an Heir is not limited to the state only. Our power to contract is only limited to the elements of a valid contract. And no, a will does not have to be a contract with the state. A will is in most cases now is a contract with the STATE because most persons have unwittingly turned over all of their property to the STATE through registration.
If you think the collective of the STATE will ever protect you in anyway you have deluded yourself into something that is not true. Nature dictates that each of us is on our own in this world and we may be able to find allies along the way but these alliances are limited to the honor of such people who know and understand real law.
The most powerful Law of Nature is Time. It is finite and we all will run out of it. Use this Law to your advantage, for it offers you infinite possibilities...

Time to Check out very early.
Excellent location, walkable to the pier, tourist info, buses to Tierra Del Fuego NP and many restaurants and shops along San Martin. Rooms are comfy and the heater adequate to keep the room cosy.
Counter staff doesn't speak much English. The room shakes every time someone closes the door on our floor.
- Location was very nice and hotel was very comfortable. - Staffs were always very supportive. - Room was well furnished and expecially I liked the heater of the room. - Pizzeria is connected to the hotel and good breakfast is served there.
- I was a little pricey, I think.
The stuff was unhelpful, gave the feeling we bother them, and couldn't help us finding our way around the city.

Only good view!Posted Nov 25, 2014
Pros: The view
Cons: The BREAKFAST
The worst breakfast I have ever eaten! Small rooms. the bar close early and you cannot order anything (food etc) after 11pm. Last but not least, they charge extra 20 dollars per day for the hotel facilities!!!

Good Night At Beach Side HotelPosted Nov 18, 2014
Pros: location
Cons: do away with add on fees
Location: miami beach, adventura mall
The ocean view room was smaller than we had anticipated, they offered us an upgrade but we would lose the beach view. It felt like a small efficiency. Didnt care for the check in process where we we were escorted upstairs to look at the room then had to walk down to get the keys to the room. $27 for valet parking was an overcharge and $20 resort fee also seemed unnecessary. Good thing we had a Expedia $50 discount coupon otherwise we would not have booked this hotel. The old boarded up motel to the north of us was an eyesore, but the beach staff was very pleasant. Overall it was a decent stay.

Nice hotel, rooms were large along with balconies.Posted Nov 17, 2014
We checked in late figuring we would not get a great room and surprised upon walking in the door to the room. Hotel is clean and is right on the beach. It's about a $20 cab ride to southbeach and like the idea of being able to relax away from SOBE.

Very expensive and the room was tinyPosted Nov 17, 2014
I had a great time but the hotel was very expensive for that money I can go to a luxury hotel

This was almost entirely what I wanted.Posted Nov 12, 2014
The good: the staff was incredibly friendly, the food was pretty tasty for hotel food, room was very comfortable. The not great: this hotel has "spa" on its name. There is no spa, as I was informed upon check-in. I was looking forward to the spa. The wifi was very slow. The room and parts of the hotel could use some sprucing up. There was a hole in the floor of my room that had just been covered up with carpet. My foot kept sinking into it.

Excellent hotel close to beachPosted Sep 4, 2014
Pros: Уборка каждый день. Все отлично!!!
Cons: Океан супер! Пляж - шикарный
Location: До Авентуры молл ехать 5 мин. на автобусе
Хороший отель. Апартаменты с кухней , гостиной, спальней. Есть свой пляж с шезлонгами и зонтиками..останавливаемся не первый раз, все очень нравится.

Excellent suitePosted Aug 25, 2014 on Hotels.com
Hotel is fine and the suites have the wow factor on first inspection. We had two balconies , excellent kitchen facilities and comfortable beds, there seems to be everything you need to self cater. The pool and beach are both great. The only negatives are that the bar and restaurant dont look very inviting and of course the valet parking which is $27 per night and you have to wait for the car.

Short escapePosted Aug 18, 2014
Pros: Very family oriented, very clean and great service overall.
Cons: The pool food and drinks service.
Location: Great location with lots of options to everyone.
This time we had an excellent experience. All staff make us feel welcome at all times. My only recommendation will be to improve the pool food and drinks service, even though the only server tried very hard, however he cannot be working alone since has to run upstairs to get food orders leaving the bar unattended. Thank you for such wonderful time. Sincerely, very pleased guest. Thank You !!!

Depends on what you getPosted Jul 19, 2014 on Hotels.com
Did not like this muscle guy from valley, he thought he owned the entrance. front desk was very nice and professional, didnt like waiting on workers to get our luggage, would of got my own except they said I couldn't get a 6 wheeler myself, do not book from hotels.com to this place. I requested and was told I was approved for 15th through 20th floor but got a room on the 6th floor. pool was nice and hotel is right on the beach so a big plus, had side view, wish I had ocean view. Hotel is nice but the maintenance could clean your room better. I give a 3.5 for hotel

Nasir Jamshed says three years outside the national team taught him plenty about his game. He is now gearing up for his biggest challenge - a tour to South Africa

How do you feel about your successful series in India?
There is a unique thrill and passion involved in Pakistan-India matches. I am proud of how I did there. I enjoy playing against India, and every time I have played them, at the Under-17 or U-19 level or for the national team, I have scored runs.
All your three hundreds have come against India, and most of your runs too.
Playing against India is very important, not only for a player but also for fans. The one who performs well against them is an unforgettable hero. The Indian crowds are very supportive towards their team. They clap hard, shout hard, hoot a lot, and sometimes become hostile towards the opposition. Every single voice within the stadium is against you. That increases the pressure on you. The only way to be heard in such a crowd is to overwhelm them with your performance.
I talked to myself, kept my nerves calm and waited for my turn to perform. I enjoyed that. I really wanted them to be quiet and feel the pressure I did on the field.
You spent nearly three years away from the national team after an impressive start to your international career. Why did it take so long to come back?
I was distracted and lacked a basic awareness of cricket. I was a raw cricketer. I was a talented batsman but my goals were all blurred. I was immature, didn't know the tactics of playing according to the conditions, didn't know how to tackle scoreboard pressure, and I struggled to convert fifties into hundreds. I did manage to play international cricket in 2008 but didn't improve, so I was pushed back into the wilderness.
I regret not keeping myself in the best shape. Had I maintained myself earlier, those years might not have been wasted. Perhaps I wasn't serious about my cricket and life was moving ahead unplanned.
But I think there may have been some good to it. Since I wasn't settled three years ago, it brought the best out of me. It took time, but I am now an improved batsman, and the process of learning never stops.
I worked hard, especially on my fitness, and now I am more consistent with the bat. I have grown a lot more mature than before and now have an assured place in the side. I can't afford to be complacent anymore since I am in a situation where teams will have done their homework on me. I have to think ahead and give them nothing.
How do you maintain your fitness when you are not playing?
Cricket is my life and my ultimate priority right now. When I return from any tour, I spend a day or two with family and then head to the academy to start my demanding routine, just like any office-going person starts his day in the morning and returns home in the evening. I am here all day, practising and training under the specialist trainer and coaches. I do enjoy stuff outside cricket, like socialising with friends, but most of my friends are also cricketers, so in every way I end up with cricket.
Who were the people who helped you build your career?
My brother Yasir and a friend, Kashif Siddiq. Choosing cricket as a career isn't a straightforward business in Pakistan, but seeing my infatuation with the game, my brother chose it for me. He would take me to the ground when I was about ten or 11. I was never allowed to watch TV, because he thought it might affect my eyesight. He developed a strict routine for me. I had to sleep around 9pm, because we had to get up early for a morning practice session at the Muslim Model School's nets at Minto Park. In the afternoon, I went to the Ludhiana cricket club.
|"In India, where conditions are never easy, my target was to stay at the crease throughout the 50 overs. It tested my temperament and fitness, but when you have settled, you start enjoying it. Now I can easily shift gears to Test cricket"
You parents emigrated to the US when you were young. Why did you choose to stay back?
It's mainly because I don't like it there. I have a lot of friends and I love spending time with them. I had limited social contacts and friends in the US. Apart from that, I have a future in cricket in Pakistan. When I was in the US in 2006, I got a call from the PCB about my selection for the U-19 World Cup. Things started to turn my way so quickly in cricket that I never gave a thought to returning to my parents. I live here in Lahore with my sister and my brother mostly.
You haven't batted outside the subcontinent so far. Do you think the real test for you will be the upcoming tour to South Africa?
There is a big gap between an average player and a world-class player. A world-class player can adapt himself to any condition within no time. I haven't played outside the subcontinent so far in my career, so I am yet to face a tough bowler. The South Africa series, without a doubt, will be my first real test. I am prepared to face the world-class bowlers in their backyard. They are the No. 1 team, have the best fast bowlers, and I am desperate to face them.
After success in limited-overs cricket, do you think you are ready for Test cricket?
Test cricket is what every player dreams about. I have done well in limited-overs cricket so far, and I'm ready for the Test challenge. As a batsman, adapting to a lengthy format isn't a big thing. I have all the strokes and am working on my defence to make it more sound. Test cricket requires a lot of mental strength and fitness. I can't claim to have achieved these but I am improving.
In India, where conditions are never easy, my target was to stay at the crease throughout the 50 overs. It tested my temperament and fitness, but when you have settled, you start enjoying it. Now I can easily shift gears to Test cricket.
Pakistan's opening slots have been unsettled since Saeed Anwar and Aamer Sohail retired. Do you think you can serve Pakistan for long in that role?
I don't rate myself that high at the moment. There is plenty to learn and it's an ongoing process. I know people have started comparing me to some former great batsmen, but they have to be patient and give me some time. To be compared with the likes of Saeed Anwar and Aamer Sohail is huge. It takes time to reach that level. I have just reclaimed my place in the side and want to concentrate on strengthening my position.
I have played with various openers, but we are yet to find a permanent one in all forms of the game. But whether it's Ahmed Shahzad, Kamran Akmal or Mohammad Hafeez, I am comfortable with all of them. We have opened at the domestic level. What is important is to know your plan. As an opener my role is clear: to score runs. The objective is to help my team, and the style is to play hard.
People say you are a safe batsman at the top, and one with sound technique when compared to most batsmen at the domestic level. How do you see yourself?
I have learnt the value of my wicket and I am afraid of losing it. You might have observed that I normally don't walk down the track for runs. Instead, I play my shots while standing inside the crease.
It didn't come naturally. I mastered it to reduce my chances of getting out. If you walk down the track, you give the bowler a chance to get you out. It can sometimes help to unsettle a bowler's line and length, but you could also get trapped. So as an opener, I think I have all the control to execute my shots by manipulating myself within the crease.

The earliest Buick Roadmaster arrived in the marketplace in 1936. The name was coined to herald the numerous product enhancements Buick has made to its 1935 lineup.The Roadmaster came in sedan, convertible, coupe and and wagon models. By 1955, a four-door hardtop joined the Roadmaster line. With World War II over, Buick forged ahead with its car production. Ultramodern vehicles rolled off the assembly line.
The top speed of the Buick Roadmaster was 161 km/hour. Even in the contemporary era, the 1957 Roadmaster two-door hardtop still commands interest in car shows as a beautiful rare car that looks exquisite when restored to gleaming exhibition quality.
During the 1990s era, Buick introduced a roomy sedan with well-appointed interiors. The reborn Buick Roadmaster was powered by a powerful V-8 engine that produced 170 horsepower. The vehicle played an important role in Buick's glorious past, even if the materials and build quality left much to be desired. Nonetheless, the car gained a following, and marked its demise in 1996.
Estimated Price Range for Used Buick Roadmaster: $1,000-$27,000

Members of the Class of 2012 at Commencement Exercises last year. Image by Dan Vaillancourt
Members of the Class of 2013 fared well in their post-graduate endeavors, according to research conducted recently by the Career Planning Center of Holy Cross. The report is based on a response rate of 83 percent of the class, or 581 respondents out of 701 students.
"The story that is being told in the media about liberal arts graduates being under- or unemployed is not the reality for the vast majority of Holy Cross graduates," says Amy Murphy, director of the Career Planning Center at Holy Cross.
Nine months following graduation, 66 percent said they were employed full-time, 18 percent said they were in graduate school, 7 percent said they were volunteering full-time, and 3 percent said they were taking part in a post-graduate fellowship. One percent of respondents each said they were seeking admission to graduate school, traveling, completing internships, or doing something else. Only 1 percent said they were seeking but unable to secure employment.
One data point that Murphy loves is that 10 percent of the class went on to do either a year or two of full-time service or a post-graduate fellowship or award. "A significant percentage of the class is going out and doing something that is time-limited," she says. "The students will take that experience and transfer it to their next opportunity. It speaks to the nimbleness and adaptability of our graduates and how they are ideally and uniquely well-suited for the 21st century economy."
According to respondents, the average starting salary was $46,453. That's higher than the average starting salary for liberal arts graduates nationally, according to the National Association of Colleges & Employers Annual Salary Survey. Holy Cross' average starting pay is also above NACE's findings for Math & Sciences ($42,956) and Humanities & Social Sciences ($38,045) graduates nationally.
"The salary data tell us that a Holy Cross degree holds significant value in the marketplace as compared to Math & Sciences and Humanities & Social Sciences bachelor's degree recipients nationally," says Murphy. "Even when we compare Holy Cross average starting salaries to the national average for all undergraduates — which includes engineering majors who have an average starting salary of just over $62,000 — the average Holy Cross starting salary is higher."
The industries in which recent Holy Cross graduates are employed are wide and varied. Financial services, health care, education, government, technology, accounting, and insurance are the top Holy Cross employers, followed by marketing and advertising, not-for-profits and communications. But 19 other industries also employ significant numbers of Holy Cross grads, from arts to sports and entertainment to scientific fields. The top employers are Teach for America, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Dana Farber Cancer Institute, and the United States Navy.
"This report illustrates the vast array of industries, employers, graduate programs and post-graduate opportunities available to a Holy Cross graduate," Murphy says. "The opportunities have never been broader or more diverse for our graduating seniors and they, in turn, are taking advantage of the many opportunities that await them and are going on to do some very exciting and interesting things upon graduation."

Incident involving Thunder player's wife, nail salon caught on tape
Updated On: Jan 28 2013 06:59:27 PM CST
Police were called to an Oklahoma City business early this month to investigate an incident involving a basketball star's wife and the owners of a nail salon.
The Jan. 4 incident was caught on tape.
In the video, Vanity Perkins can be seen arguing with the nail tech at a salon on Northwest 138th Street. Vanity Perkins is married to Thunder center Kendrick Perkins.
According to a police report, the fight escalated, and the nail tech can be seen pushing Vanity Perkins' hand out of her face.
"I ran out there, and I was like, 'Well, you cannot talk to me like that,'" said Trang Nguyen. "And, of course, we are pointing at each other. She pointed at my face, and I pointed at her -- but I never touched a hand on her or anything."
Witnesses told KOCO that Perkins called her husband, who arrived at the salon before police did.
"He said some bad word, yes, and he was slamming on the door. He was running his car and threw a bottle," Nguyen said.
Vanity Perkins confirmed that her husband threw a Gatorade bottle at the salon window.
KOCO contacted the Thunder organization, which had no comment about the incident.
Both parties eventually declined to press charges.
