The Fordham University football team, which will celebrate its 125th season this year, reported for summer camp on Monday, Aug. 6. Throughout the season, Fordham will honor the exploits of Ram teams from its long history. Fordham first fielded a team in 1882—defeating Seton Hall University in its first varsity football game.
Fordham opens the 2007 season on Sept. 1 against the University of Rhode Island in Kingston, R.I. The 2007 schedule will be a challenging one, with six home contests, including the annual Liberty Cup match-up with Columbia University and the battle for the Ram-Crusader Cup with the College of Holy Cross. The Rams will also play six Patriot League games, highlighted by a road game against Lafayette University, which has been chosen in a preseason vote by coaches and sports information directors to claim its fourth title in a row.
"I'm excited about the start of a new season," said Fordham head coach Tom Masella. "We have some work to do on both sides of the ball this summer to get ready for September 1 but I think we have enough returning starters and other players with experience to help us."
Founded in 1841, Fordham is the Jesuit University of New York, offering exceptional education distinguished by the Jesuit tradition to more than 15,600 students in its four undergraduate colleges and its six graduate and professional schools. It has residential campuses in the Bronx, Manhattan and Tarrytown, and the Louis J. Calder Center Biological Field Station in Armonk, N.Y.

This action was taken after Frank Bernard retired as police chief due to health reasons. Bernard served as police chief for 1-1/2 years and worked as a city police officer for 15 years.
Bailey, 55, was born and raised in Senath, Mo. After graduating from high school he went to college for two years at Crowley's Ridge College in Paragould, Ark. After college, Bailey worked for four years on the Frisco Railroad in St. Louis.
After that, he began his career as a law enforcement officer.
"One of the reasons I became interested in law enforcement, I can remember as a teenager being with a group of friends and seeing a bad car accident. The state trooper pulled up, got out of his car, put on his hat and approached the scene. It seemed that people that had gathered near the accident scene just parted at his presence. He was very professional at taking care of business at the accident. I thought then I might be interested in public service," Bailey said.
Bailey first worked for the highway patrol as a commercial vehicle officer for seven years in Steele, Mo. After completing five months of recruitment school in Jefferson City, Bailey became a state trooper in 1984 and was assigned to Portageville, Mo. In 1986, he transfered to Troop G and was stationed in Thayer.
In 1994, he was promoted to corporal and went to West Plains. In 1996, he became zone sargeant over Howell and Oregon counties. He said a zone sargeant oversees the duties and assigns the troopers in a certain area. He said he would usually have 10 troopers to assign.
In 2001, he was promoted to lieutenant, still at West Plains. "As a lieutenant I served as a go-between for troopers and Jefferson City. Some of the areas I worked in included overseeing enforcement programs, make DWI check points, make sure zone schedules were approved and submit budgets to Jefferson City for approval," he said.
Bailey said he basically spent the last six years with the highway patrol in management.
Bailey retired from the highway patrol on Feb. 1, 2007. He said he had always liked living in Thayer and when he bought his home here last year he didn't think about going back into law enforcement.
"I didn't move down here looking for a job. After Frank got sick, I was approached by several members of the community that asked if I would be interested in the position of police chief," he said.
"I am honored and humbled that the mayor and city council would ask me to do this job. I hope I can do a good job for them," Bailey said.
Bailey said he was not going to take the job lightly. "This type of job needs a lot of focus and attention," he said.
Officers working under Bailey will be Michael Bunting, Terry Bounds, James Martin, Josh McDaniel and Kevin Bettis. Dispatchers in the police station are Brenda Todd, Marcie Fuller and Jason Romine.
Bailey said, "I have a goal. In a year or two I want people to be able to say, 'Thayer has an excellent police department.'"

SEAGOVILLE (CBSDFW.COM) — A man was struck and killed by a vehicle early Monday morning after attempting to walk home while under the influence of alcohol in Seagoville.
According to the man's ex-wife, Betty Williams, 61-year-old Robert Locklin came to her home drunk. After several hours, Locklin wanted to drive home, but his son removed the battery from his truck to prevent him from driving.
Williams said Locklin was insistent on going home, so he started walking. Locklin's son then placed the battery back in the vehicle and went looking for his father.
"About 10 minutes go by, and [his son] calls and says he found him and he was dead," said Williams.
Andrew Sparrow with Seagoville police says Locklin had been hit and killed by a car in the 2500 block of the westbound service road of Hwy 175.
"It was fairly evident by the positioning of the unresponsive male laying on the side of the service road and some vehicle debris that he had been struck by a vehicle that was not at the location," said Sparrow.
29-year-old Michael Shane Thomas later turned himself in and is being charged with accident causing personal injury/death.

*Season one of "Single Ladies" came and went.
VH1 is ready to start it all over with season two, which will premiere on May 28, with all the drama and scandal.
When the show debuted last year around the same time, the viewership averaged 3 million a week, bringing in women 18-34 years old. Season two could bring in more.
According to critics, the show does a good job at keeping its target interested with superficial conversation and the hassle of juggling men and lavish lives. Some say the show is nothing more than a fantasy being sold to … single women.
One male writer comments that there's clearly nothing appealing about the show for men, except Stacey Dash sporting small, tight fitted clothes on occasion.
But she won't be joining the cast for the new season. She was replace by Denise Vasi (above in the middle). Also actress Cassandra Freeman has joined the show, however it's unknown what her relationship to the other cast members will be in the storyline.
Check out the season 2 trailer:

The invention relates to a method of reading out the sensor elements of a sensor with a matrix of light-sensitive or X-ray sensitive sensor elements which are arranged in rows and columns and generate charges in dependence on the incident quantity of radiation, the switches of the relevant sensor elements being activated via address lines and the charges of the respective activated sensor elements being drained via read-out lines so as to be processed further by way of amplifiers and transfer means. The invention also relates to a corresponding sensor as well as to an X-ray examination apparatus which includes an X-ray source for emitting an X-ray beam for irradiating an object so as to form an X-ray image, as well as a detector for generating an electrical image signal from said X-ray image.
Large-area X-ray detectors, consisting of a sensor matrix with a plurality of sensor elements or pixels which are arranged in rows and columns, are used in the field of medical X-ray diagnosis. The sensor elements include photodiodes of amorphous silicon and associated scintillator elements or, alternatively, photoconductors for converting the X-rays into an electrical charge. Each sensor element is provided with a switch for the reading out of the charge, for example, with TFT (thin-film transistor) switches of amorphous silicon or diode switches. The switches are closed or activated so as to read out the collected charges conducted to appropriate read-out lines wherefrom the charges flow into appropriate charge-sensitive amplifiers which subsequently apply an electronic signal to a multiplexer which applies the charge signals from the relevant read-out lines to a data acquisition unit so as to be reproduced by means of a monitor which acts as an image display apparatus.
When detectors of this kind are used for medical examinations, it is desirable to reduce the radiation dose in order to realize a low dose whereto the patient is exposed; consequently, only a very small amount of charge is incident on the individual sensor elements. Therefore, the electrical charge produced in the individual sensor elements (in dependence on the incident amount of radiation) is also very small. This often gives rise to problems, that is, a comparatively strong noise is superposed on the signal read out. In this context it is known to perform so-called binning, that is, group-wise reading out of sensor elements or the reading out of a spatial average of pixels.
EP 0 776 124 A2 discloses a method and a device for the imaging of an object by detection of radiation while utilizing an image sensor system. In order to ensure an optimum ratio of image resolution to sensitivity of the sensor, the charges of the sensor elements are read out along the individual rows or columns of the sensor matrix, after which they are group-wise combined. The versions of the method proposed for this purpose are based on a modification of control signals whose execution can be programmed. EP 0 776 124 A2 is focused notably on the binning of CCD sensors.
The process of reading out the charges in the individual sensor elements or pixels in known detectors, based on conventional matrix sensors, is conventionally performed in rows or in columns. For example, when the first row is to be read out, the switches of the sensors present in this row are activated by way of the respective corresponding address line. The charges stored in the capacitances of the sensor elements present in this row are then drained via the respective electrical switch of the relevant sensor elements and the corresponding read-out line.
For such sensors it is also known to use a binning operation by extending the row-wise scans from one row to a plurality of rows by means of known shift registers. It is a drawback, however, that the number of combined rows or columns is constant within an exposure.
For the column-wise reading-out, for which customarily a charge amplifier is provided for each column and each read-out lead, binning is achieved by interconnecting two neighboring read-out lines in an amplifier, by interconnecting two neighboring amplifier channels, or by calculating an average during the subsequent image processing. According to the first two methods reading-out can take place only column-wise or in defined groups of columns. Even though the calculation method offers increased flexibility in relation to the other two methods, the desired low noise is achieved only by means of the first method; however, the combining of each time two neighboring read-out lines concerns the entire detector.
Considering the foregoing it is an object of the present invention to provide a method and a sensor which offer, despite the low incident X-ray doses, adequate quantities of charge and hence adequate electrical signals for the formation of the image.
This object is achieved by means of a method which is characterized in that ingoing address lines are selectably connected, by means of individually controllable switch elements and by way of a switching operation, to the respective next address line in such a manner that the sensor elements of at least two neighboring rows are activated by means of one ingoing signal, and that corresponding outgoing read-out lines are selectably connected to the respective next read-out line by means of individually controllable switch elements and by way of a switching operation, in such a manner that the charge signals read out from the activated sensor elements of at least two neighboring columns are combined so as to form one signal and are applied to only one amplifier.
Under the control of switching operations either the relevant connection of the address line or read-out line to the switches per row or column is maintained or a connection is established with the respective neighboring line, that is, either the respective preceding line or the subsequent line. The overlapping of an arbitrarily selected number of rows of activated sensor elements as well as an arbitrarily selected number of columns thus enables the formation of an individually programmable binning pattern, that is, arbitrary blocks of rows and columns. Not only the size of the individually read out surfaces of sensor elements can thus be programmed, but also the temporal succession of different binning patterns. Spatially inhomogeneous binning, that is, the reading out of different surfaces in different regions of the detector, can thus be realized.
The binning size, that is, the number of combined rows or columns, is preferably varied within a frame or exposure. The use of different binning sizes enables enhancement of the signal-to-noise ratio by stronger binning in positions with a weak signal whereas full resolution can be maintained in positions with a good signal-to-noise ratio.
The proposed method enables variation of the size of the binning blocks within an image. In regions in which the individual sensor element provides only a poor signal-to-noise ratio, the noise is reduced by binning over larger regions (2×2, 3×3, or also asymmetrically), thus enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio. The accompanying lower spatial resolution is accepted. In regions in which the individual sensor element already provides a good signal-to-noise ratio, binning over only small regions (2×2) or even no binning (1×1) is selected, thus maintaining a high spatial resolution.
Overall, the undesirable noise can be minimized by binning the charges read out before the amplifiers. Moreover, in conformity with a further development of the method it should be possible to intervene in the originally programmed read-out routine of binning patterns during the exposure.
Such a variably programmable binning pattern is attained by means of a sensor which is characterized in that a first unit of switch elements is arranged between the activation means and the electrical sensor switches and a second unit of switch elements is arranged between the electrical sensor switches and amplifiers. Additionally there is provided a system for the individual control of the switch elements so as to connect, by way of a switching operation, an arbitrary number of switch or read-out lines to each time at least one neighboring line. Overall the control system determines whether and which switch elements carry out a switching operation and hence whether the corresponding sensor row or sensor column is read out together with neighboring rows or columns or strictly in rows or columns in the customary manner.
The switch elements in a first embodiment according to the invention are arranged in or on the address or read-out lines and hence in the activation or read-out circuits. In a second embodiment they are integrated directly in the sensor matrix in that either they are made of amorphous silicon, like the photodiodes and the TFT switches of the sensor elements, or in that they are arranged on (recrystallized) polycrystalline silicon.
The control system for the first and the second unit of switch elements in a preferred embodiment is constructed as a first and a second shift register with a plurality of shift register elements, a respective shift register element being associated with a switch element per address line or read-out line. The first shift register serves as a series/parallel converter and the second shift register as a parallel/series converter. In order to form an arbitrary binning pattern with plane groups of sensor elements which are interrupted by conventionally read out rows or columns, the shift registers are constructed in such a manner that the individual shift register elements which are not to participate in a binning operation are automatically skipped. One clock pulse thus suffices to address a next block of rows which is separated from a first block by the skipped row.
The control shift register is preferably constructed so as to be double buffered. A new binning pattern can thus be clocked into a first storage location whereas the non-modified binning control information for the corresponding blocks of rows or columns is retained in a second storage location. After completion of the block the new control information is transferred from the first storage location to the second storage location of the control shift register.
Instead of the shift register, or in addition thereto, a random addressable register is used so as to realize fast updating of the binning pattern. A double-buffered chart is again preferred.
Further details and advantages of the invention are apparent from the dependent claims and the following description in which the embodiments of the invention as shown in the Figures are further elucidated. Therein:
For each pixel there is provided an X-ray sensitive sensor element which includes a photosensor 2, a capacitance and a switch 3. The photosensors themselves may already be X-ray sensitive when use is made of suitable semiconductors. However, a light-sensitive photodiode may also be concerned, the conversion of X-rays into light then taking place by means of an additional scintillator. The photosensors are represented by the photodiodes 2 in the
For each column of the matrix which is partly shown in
As opposed to the conventional sensor matrices, where exclusively a binning pattern which is identical across the entire detector can be selected, the sensor matrix according to the invention enables, in conjunction with preceding and succeeding circuits, reading out in conformity with a locally selectable or programmable binning pattern in an image is possible, i.e. a non-constant binning pattern.
To this end, the sensor matrix 1 is preceded by two shift registers 20, 21 in the embodiment shown in
The address lines either are connected directly to the corresponding row of sensor elements or the individual address lines are interrupted by means of the switch elements and a connection to the relevant predecessor address line is established. The sensor elements of at least two neighboring rows can thus be activated by means of one ingoing signal. In the present example the fifth line (8) is connected to the fourth address line (7), the fourth line (7) is connected to the third address line (6), the third line (6) is connected to the second address line (5) and the second line (5) is connected to the first address line (4). As a result, the information of the first address line (4) activates the sensor elements of the rows 1 to 5.
An arbitrary number of associated rows can be activated by arbitrary control of the switching processes of the switch elements. The switch elements 27 to 30 are controlled by means of an additional shift register 21. Information (CI for Control Input) in the form of control instructions for switching over the relevant address lines is output at the rhythm of the shift frequency (CC for control clock).
Amplifiers 50 to 54 are inserted in the address lines between the register and the sensor matrix. Alternatively, level converters could be used. Such converters boost the often small output voltages of the purely digital control signals (for example, amounting to 5 V for the shift register) to the value required so as to control the TFTs, which usually require from 20 to 25 V.
The switch elements 27 to 30 in the address lines or the activation switch elements may be TFTs. Using a double construction with opposed control, these transistors implement a respective switch element. In this case the (analog) voltage of the activation line could be switched behind the amplifier or level converter. In the embodiment shown in
Only purely analog switches, for example TFT or (MOS)FET, are suitable for the switch elements 31 to 34 in the read-out lines, because the charges are transferred from the sensor elements without modification.
The control of switching operations of switch elements for the read-out lines (
The individual switch elements 31 to 34 are controlled by means of a shift register 35. Control itself is analogous to the described control of the address lines.

There were more than a few confused faces and raised eyebrows when Bellator Fighting Championships announced that their lightweight champion Michael Chandler, fresh off of his Fight of the Year performance over Eddie Alvarez to close 2011, would face journeyman fighter Akihiro Gono in his next bout.
At 9-0, Chandler has rocketed past rising prospect to legitimate top ten lightweight over the last year, so when looking at his next challenge very few people expected it to be a fighter coming off back-to-back losses.
Throughout his career, Akihiro Gono has been a tough challenger for a lot of fighters including hard fought battles in the UFC with names like Jon Fitch and Dan Hardy. Still Gono's career would appear to be past its peak, and more recently the one-time Pride fighter has lost two fights in a row and has gone just 3-5 over his last eight bouts.
The question then has to be asked of Bellator CEO and Chairman Bjorn Rebney, why was Gono given the chance to face their lightweight champion in a super fight?
The simple answer is because Gono was the one fighter who said yes.
"There's a balance, you get a guy and I'll try to give you as straight forward an answer as I can, when you get a guy who is good as Michael Chandler and I think we can all agree that Michael Chandler should be among everybody's top list at 155lbs in the world. When you get a guy that good, good names who are not currently engaged in a Bellator tournament or beholden to a UFC contract, are not jumping out of the gym to take that fight," Rebney revealed when speaking to MMAWeekly Radio.
"When you look at the list and you say to yourself who can we get that's got a good history in the game, that's got some huge wins behind them, could conceptually be a guy who could compete if he can re-ignite the flame and Gono was that guy."
The fact is according to Rebney the call was made to several other lightweight fighters trying to find the best name possible to face Chandler, but all of them except Gono turned down the challenge.
"We went through a lot of different names trying to fight somebody to fight Mike, because we've got this tournament going on now, Mike vs. Eddie (Alvarez) was a while ago, you've got to keep a guy like that busy. It's incumbent upon us to keep him busy, and you look through the list and you call a lot of fighters. You call a lot of 155lbers and say are you interested in this fight? And the answer across the board with a lot of guys is no. I'm not interested in that fight in any way, shape or form," said Rebney.
Bellator's current super fight format has been their way of keeping a champion busy while they complete tournaments to crown new contenders to fight in title bouts. With a move to Spike TV on the horizon in 2013, Rebney is hoping to do away with the super fight scenario all together, but for now they just don't want Chandler sitting out for the majority of 2012 while their next lightweight tournament comes to a close.
Rebney admits that the call was even made to some welterweights who might have been interested in cutting down to 155lbs for the chance to face the Bellator lightweight champion, but again no one was jumping at the opportunity except for Akihiro Gono.
"Absolutely no disrespect to Gono, he's had a spectacular career and he's been at the top level of this game. He's not been on a great run as of late, but he did say yes, and he said yes with a lot of time to train, and he said yes with an amazing amount of enthusiasm for the opportunity, and one that could change the direction of his career," said Rebney.
No matter what money was offered or what opportunity was laid on the table, no one was chomping at the bit to face Chalder on May 4, so Gono gets the chance to pull off one of the biggest upsets in Bellator history.
"You're looking for the best guy you can get, but a lot of the best guys that are available, it doesn't matter about the money, they're not interested in fighting a Michael Chandler at this stage of his career," said Rebney.
"Michael Chandler is a beast in this game so you do the best you can with the situation."

A page-one organic rank on Google for important keyword phrases is one of the most valuable positions in SEM (define). Yet it's becoming increasingly difficult for local businesses to achieve this prized placement. Google's algorithm simply doesn't yield quality ranking for most small-business Web sites.
Sure, one could blame low-cost, template-based, SEO (define)-constrained Web site solutions. But even the best constructed sites often don't fare much better in Google's organic search results.
Google wants to maintain its leadership position building the best algorithms and providing the most relevant search results. To accomplish this, it seeks to stamp out spam and over-optimized sites. It wants to serve results from reputable, relevant sites.
Google's algorithm favors sites commonly referred to as authorities. Google designates sites as authorities based their clout and influence for topical themes and related keyword searches.
In local SEM, authorities make it extremely difficult for a small-business site to compete for organic local search exposure on traditional SERPs (define). These small local businesses want a seat at the big businesses' table.
However, the authorities actually provide an opportunity for a local business to create a strategic SEM road map. I call it "riding the coattails." Small businesses are well advised to pay attention when allocating their finite marketing budgets.
Currently, Google and Yahoo search results for local queries are dominated by several authorities: Switchboard, SuperPages, and Citysearch. These authorities have gained their status by understanding it's critical to ensure Google can find and index their pages, regardless of their destinations' popularity. Each has made a concerted effort to better architect and code local business results to rank effectively on major search engines.
For years, these authorities have quietly augmented their destination traffic through an organic distribution strategy. They've been fed from Google's leadership position, which drives tens of millions of users to their pages. New customer acquisition costs are thereby reduced, and local search brand profiles are raised.
Other providers are racing to catch up, most significantly Yahoo Local. Yahoo already benefits by placing three Yahoo Local business listings above the organic results for explicitly local queries on Yahoo.com. Now, its local business category pages are effectively crawled and indexed on Google. Further, Yahoo relaunched its local search site with a well thought-out static business category structure, which is optimized and well suited for organic rank.
In addition to cost-effectively acquiring new search users, authorities that rank for organic local search queries indirectly provide additional distribution to their advertisers and position themselves to sell more ad inventory.
Though the value of organic positioning on Google and Yahoo is clear to the authorities, it isn't always clear to local businesses. Many grow frustrated with their inability to compete with the big guys. For these businesses, an old adage holds true: if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
Here's how:
- Identify your top local keyword phrases.
- Perform searches for those keyword phrases on Google and Yahoo
- Identify which authorities show up most frequently for your important local searchers.
- Identify which categories within those authorities are ranking.
- Take special note of patterns or consistencies that you see.
- Direct your ad spending toward the authoritative categories.
- Enjoy the destination and organic distribution value of your buys.
Small businesses must understand today's SEO environment necessitates they think outside the confines of their own sites.
Local businesses should become intimately familiar with their key SERPs. They should position themselves to be listed on sites that already rank. And, they should align themselves with the authorities.
Places are already set for the small local businesses at the big businesses' dinner table.

Two of the 10 British poets shortlisted for a prestigious award have dropped out of the running to protest the prize's sponsorship by a hedge fund firm.
Alice Oswald and John Kinsella said that they will not accept the $23,000 T.S. Eliot Prize due to the recent three-year deal to sponsor it signed by Aurum Funds. The agreement followed the British Arts Council's decision in April to stop funding the prize.
"I'm uncomfortable about the fact that Aurum Funds, an investment company which exclusively manages funds of hedge funds, is sponsoring the administration of the Eliot Prize," Alice Oswald, who won the award in 2002, said. "I think poetry should be questioning not endorsing such institutions and for that reason I'm withdrawing from the Eliot shortlist."
An Eliot Prize board member defended the Aurum sponsorship, noting that the firm is "respected" and counts "public sector pension funds and Oxford University" among its clients. And T.S. Eliot himself worked at Lloyd's Bank before winning fame as a poet.
Nor is Aurum the only alternative investment firm to sponsor such a prize. The Booker Prize, arguably the most prestigious literary award in the U.K. and its former colonies, has been sponsored by the Man Group since 2002.

Olazabal closes strong to capture Buick title
SAN DIEGO -- Jose Maria Olazabal sank a birdie putt on No. 18, caught a few rays on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, then started hitting balls in case of a playoff.
It never came.
Olazabal's 7-under-par 65 held up for victory in the Buick Invitational when J.L. Lewis three-putted the 18th on the Torrey Pines South Course to blow his shot forcing extra holes.
As much credit as Olazabal deserves for the win, the tournament came down to Lewis folding under pressure.
"I kind of got a bad break, then I choked," Lewis admitted after his closing bogey.
And Olazabal took it. It was his first PGA Tour victory since he won his second Masters in 1999, and his sixth tour win overall. The Spaniard, who like Tiger Woods made the cut on the number, finished with a 72-hole total of 13-under 275.
"I feel like I played very, very well over the weekend," said Olazabal, who shot a 67 in the wind Saturday. The wind never came up Sunday, giving golfers perfect conditions under a cloudless sky.
"I thought I would really need a great round and you don't expect to shoot 7-under around here and I got it going on the front nine," Olazabal said. "I kept quiet."
Although Olazabal, who won $648,000, was just four strokes back starting the round, he took everyone by surprise.
"It would have been nice to get a win here, but Jose sort of snuck up on all of today," said John Daly, who was in contention until his putter abandoned him on the final three holes.
Lewis, trying for his second tour victory, tied for second with Mark O'Meara at 276. Both shot 70s, as did Daly, who finished fourth at 277.
Woods, winless on the tour this year, finished strong with a 66 -- two days after his near-disastrous 77 -- to tie for fifth with Bob Estes and Rory Sabbatini at 278.
Olazabal played four groups ahead of third-round co-leaders Lewis, O'Meara, and Jerry Kelly, and birdied the par-5, 551-yard 18th nearly an hour before Lewis' group reached the green.
He didn't watch Lewis' collapse on 18, but when he learned he was the winner he and his caddy shook hands and hugged.
Olazabal and Lewis both laid up on 18 -- an easy birdie hole before a renovation toughed and lengthened the whole course -- with vastly different results.
Lewis said his bad break was hitting a 6-iron second shot too close to Devlin's Billabong, the pond that guards 18. It went about 220 yards; Lewis said he needed it to go 175. He didn't feel comfortable swinging hard on his wedge shot to spin the ball down to the pin.
His third shot went about 40 feet past the flag and didn't roll back. Instead of going for the win, he lagged up and left himself with an 8-foot downhill putt. Needing to save par to force a playoff, he pushed it right for a bogey.
ACE Group Classic
NAPLES, Fla. -- Hale Irwin birdied two of the last three holes to pass Tom Watson and win the Senior PGA Tour ACE Group Classic by one shot.
Irwin won $225,000 of the $1.5 million purse and added to his Senior Tour record with his 33rd career victory at The Club at TwinEagles. The 56-year-old Irwin also passed the $20 million mark in combined earnings on the regular and Senior tours.
Irwin finished at 16-under 200 after a final-round 68. Watson was at 15-under 201 after a final-round 71.

Sept 28, 2009
Brian Hardaway
Attorney John Cheadle illegally accessed my credit records in an attempt to collect a debt and his office was never given any authorization by me or anyone acting on my behalf to do so. I do not have an account with the creditor he was collecting for (Bank of America). John Cheadle's office said it was likely that it was someone in my family's account with a similar name and address which does not pertain to me. He and his office asked me to verify who I was under the pretense of resolving this matter and then took my driver license number and social security number and pulled a credit report and reported a 25Kjudgment on my credit report without any written/verbal authorization from me. This was fraud and illegal under all state and federal consumer protection guidelines. Bank of America has verified numerous times that the account, Mr.Cheadle is trying to collect on is not mine. Bank of American even went as far as to send the original application at the time of the opening of the account. This information did not match my birth date; social Security number and did not show as my account. All of this information has been faxed to the office of Mr. Cheadle and Handed to him in person on July 13, 2009 in court yet an illegal judgment for the above amount was entered on my credit report due to an illegal use of my personal credit information by Cheadle and his staff. Bank of America executives in Charlotte NC have called me numerous times to confirm this account and information listed does not belong to me. Mr. Cheadle violated almost every FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) and FDCPA (Fair Debt Collection Practices Act) when he accessed my credit reports and entered a judgment on them without ever receiving any authorization from me. Since this information was entered I have had a garnishment entered by my employer and numerous creditors raise their interest rates on my accounts and reduce my credit line negatively impacting my credit score due to periodic reviews. In addition this has been a stressful and emotionally draining time and caused numerous overdraft fees due to all of the financial problems created by the judgment and subsequent garnishments. This is a very simple case of a credit collector being abusive and overreaching his authority and disregarding state and federal guidelines. Its a very simply matter I have proven to everyone via the original credit card application that does not show my SS# income, or DOB that does not or has never belonged to me.Report

ISLAND LIFE: Alexander McQueen needlework and jet engines don't make an obvious pairing, but the Duchess of Cambridge had different ideas during a guided tour of a state-of-the-art Rolls-Royce factory in Singapore Wednesday. The duchess wore a cream McQueen broderie anglaise skirt suit for a tour of the plant on the second day of the royals' official visit to the Far East and the South Pacific.
Two hours and one outfit change later, she visited Queenstown wearing a skirt and top by the Singapore-based label Raoul. Douglas and Odile Benjamin, the cocreative directors and chief executive officers of Raoul, said: "We have received endless messages from Singaporeans conveying their pride that the duchess wore a Singapore brand. It is a great honor for us to be recognized by her."

Later, for an evening reception at the British High Commissioner's residence in Singapore, the duchess wore a printed silk Erdem dress.
