"At the time, we weren't even engaged and it was like, 'Do you want to go to Maryland?'" McNamee said. |
They went to Maryland. It was spring 2003. They would be married in Bernabei's hometown of Weirton, W.Va., in May 2004. Lacas and Caden were born 111/2 months apart, Lucas first on Oct. 12, 2006. After leaving Maryland, she returned to West Virginia for a season under Mike Carey. |
"We had no family [in Maryland], and she wanted to be a mom," McNamee said. "Once the boys went to school, knowing her and her competitive nature, she just loves the game. Ever since she was a little kid playing with boys, going to college, setting records at the Division II level, basketball is in her blood. |
"What makes her happiest is being around the game." |
Bernabei-McNamee returned to the game with Pikeville in 2013. She won 63 games in three seasons, got the Kentucky school into the NAIA Tournament twice and to the Final Four last year. |
"I missed it desperately," she said. "But the years I got to spend as a stay-at-home mom I definitely would not trade for the world, because they were unbelievable. The boys started school, and I'm probably not the prototypical stay-at-home kind of woman. ... It would be miserable. |
"I didn't know if I would be fortunate enough to coach, but like my husband said, when we were starting school, I said, 'What do you think?' He said, 'I married a basketball coach. I don't know if there's anything else you can do.' And that's the truth." |
Albany had won five successive America East titles under Katie Abrahamson-Henderson before she left to coach at Central Florida last spring. There were 75 serious applicants for the job, many in Division I. After Albany hired Coach Mac to a five-year deal at $225,000 a year, Frese called her a "rising star" and "feisty... |
"I do think it is very unique, the path I took to get here," she said. "It was the right path for me. I think sometimes our profession is really hard on young moms that have children to maintain the pace of what we do. |
"The administration at Albany, I think, is unique because they are spectacular people, and I hope more administrations will follow along that path to give coaches confidence that they can take a raising-kids sabbatical. Get out of the game for a little bit, take that time with their family and not have to worry they'll... |
In an ultra-competitive sports world, can rising women coaches afford to leave the game for any sustained time to raise a family and hope to return to their place of prominence? It's a tough question. |
"A lot of times the time off may come after you lose your job and you give yourself a chance to see which direction you want to go," UConn associate head coach Chris Dailey said. "In some situations, it's because you want to start a family. A lot of people don't necessarily get back into it, not always at the Division ... |
Dailey said some young coaches are lost when they realize how much time must be put in before a head coaching opportunity arises and how much time the job entails. |
"We have talked [at national coaching meetings] about creating opportunities for young people but also keeping them," Dailey said. "Sometimes you just can't do it. The job is what it is. It is a concern. |
"When you are the head coach, you have a little bit more control over your schedule and how you do things. When you're an assistant, it's hard. You're at the beck and call of someone else. It's like any career woman who's trying to have a family and be good at what they do. There are always challenges in making the sch... |
Yes, the challenges of being a superwoman. |
"Many people I've talked to said you can do it all, 'You can be a coach. You can be a wife. You can be a mom,'" UConn assistant coach Marisa Moseley said. "Some saying it are women who are doing it. I do think it's a little easier for a head coach because you do have a little more autonomy with your schedule. It's stil... |
"Here [at UConn], I've had some great opportunities and done some awesome things, but I think my greatest accomplishment would be being a mom at some point. I can see doing it. Life is short. At some point, you look back and you won a lot of games, but you get to impact a life. We get to impact lives every day, but we ... |
Dating to when she coached Albany, Abrahamson-Henderson lines up for the national anthem and locks arms with her daughters Savannah and Brooklyn whenever they attend games. Married to former Globetrotter and former NBA referee Michael Henderson, Coach Abe brought her daughters to Mohegan Sun during the recent AAC Tourn... |
Watching Coach Mac walking together with her husband and two boys at Gampel Pavilion on this day was a pretty cool thing, too. She has held up her end, winning a sixth consecutive American East title, winning 21 of 32 games. |
The boys don't really remember much from when she wasn't a coach. What they know are the 13 to 14 big sisters they gain each season. What they know is going to practice and traveling with the team. |
"We've completely flip-flopped," McNamee said. |
He had been traveling 150 days a year working in the pharmaceutical industry. |
"Now, she's doing the nights and building up the Marriott points and I'm staying home with the boys," he said. "I had missed a lot of baseball, basketball, football games. I'm there when they get off the bus now." |
"I'm a pretty lucky person," Bernabei-McNamee said. "It worked out perfect for me. I hope other women who take the same path, it will work out for them." |
Germany has urged Theresa May to “take responsibility” for Brexit, as a crunch summit approaches with no sign of any breakthrough in negotiations. |
The Prime Minister was briefing senior ministers in an extended session of Cabinet ahead of Wednesday’s European Council meeting at which it had initially been hoped to conclude the UK’s withdrawal deal. |
Protestors outside Downing Street ahead of today's Cabinet meeting. |
Eight Brexit-backing Cabinet ministers took the highly unusual step of meeting on the eve of the weekly gathering to discuss, over pizzas, their concerns about Mrs May’s approach. |
But the prospect of resignations appears to have receded after Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab refused to accept the deal on offer from the EU during intensive negotiations in Brussels over the weekend. |
Two ministers who were at the “pizza summit” played down suggestions of rebellion against the Prime Minister. |
International Development Secretary Penny Mordaunt told Sky News: “No-one is planning on resigning. We are all doing our jobs and we are trying to get the best deal for this country, and that’s it. |
Foreign ministers from the remaining 27 EU states were receiving a briefing from chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier at the General Affairs Council in Luxembourg. |
With no likelihood of a deal this week, they are expected to schedule a special Brexit summit for November. |
It remains unclear whether this will be framed as a final opportunity to reach agreement or as a chance for the 27 to make preparations for a disorderly no-deal withdrawal. |
“There is a need for some good compromise that should be made,” he said. |
The Prime Minister told the House of Commons on Monday that an exit agreement is still “achievable”. |
And European Council president Donald Tusk urged both sides to keep making every effort to find a deal. |
In a letter to EU leaders ahead of the summit, Mr Tusk said the Brexit negotiations had “proven to be more complicated than some may have expected”. |
The fact that both sides have now begun preparations for a no-deal Brexit “must not, under any circumstances, lead us away from making every effort to reach the best agreement possible”, he said. |
Former Conservative leader Lord Hague suggested Mrs May should consider seeking temporary membership of the European Free Trade Association after withdrawal to allow time for a free trade agreement to be negotiated. |
There is “no disgrace in doing some fresh thinking”, Lord Hague told the Daily Telegraph. |
BANGKOK – Oil prices recovered slightly Friday from its sharpest drop in more than seven months. |
Benchmark oil for August delivery rose 22 cents to $95.36 per barrel at midday Bangkok time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. |
The contract for July settlement sank $2.84, or 2.9 percent, to $95.40 a barrel on the Nymex on Thursday. The sharp drop was precipitated by weak Chinese manufacturing data and signals that U.S. central bank is preparing to scale back its stimulus policies. |
Analysts said rising crude output combined with the Fed's tapering down of asset purchases later this year have put downward pressure on oil prices. But Syria's civil war and Iran's pursuit of nuclear projects were risks that had the potential to disrupt energy markets and could cause prices to rise. |
"The geopolitical premium must not be forgotten, and may not remain muted for long," said analysts at Credit Agricole CIB in Hong Hong in a market commentary. |
On Wednesday Fed chairman Ben Bernanke suggested that he was optimistic about the U.S. economy — and that the Fed might start scaling back its massive $85 billion-a-month bond-buying program this year if conditions continue to improve. The Fed could end the program by the middle of next year, Bernanke said. |
The Fed program has kept borrowing costs near historic lows for consumers and business. It has also helped boost the equities and energy markets. Also weighing on oil prices was a survey showing a slowdown in manufacturing in China. HSBC's preliminary purchasing managers' index fell to a nine-month low of 48.... |
Brent crude, a benchmark for many international oil varieties, rose 36 cents to $102.51. Brent plunged $3.97, or 3.7 percent, to end on Thursday at $102.94 per barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London. |
— Wholesale gasoline rose marginally to $2.7784 a gallon. |
— Heating oil rose 0.8 cents to $2.8814 per gallon. |
— Natural gas rose less than 0.1 cent to $3.883 per 1,000 cubic feet. |
If Mr. Belding’s morning greeting on Tuesday, Oct. 24, doesn’t take you back, then perhaps his video announcement unveiling the Los Angeles location of the “Saved by the Bell“-themed pop-up diner Saved by the Max will trigger a rush of nostalgia. |
What is Saved By the Max? |
Saved by the Max re-creates the look and feel of the popular hangout The Max, featured in the ’90s teen sitcom, complete with neon signs, splashy diner booths, and vintage arcade games. |
Where is Saved by the Max? |
The restaurant will pop up at 7100 Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood as the first stop on a nationwide tour. |
Construction is set to begin soon. |
When does it open? And how do I get tickets? |
There’s no need to cut class yet. Run dates and ticket sales haven’t been announced. |
When it opens, Saved by the Max will serve up a menu of appetizers, sides, entrees and desserts as well as drinks with fun names that reference characters, places and episodes. |
Food items, priced from $6 to $22, will include the crowd-pleasing Mac & Screech ($8), Bayside Burger ($14), The Kelly Kapowski Monte Cristo ($14), and Tori’s Fried Chicken ($14). |
Cocktails, spirits, and beers, plus a selection of non-alcoholic beverages, priced from $3 to $20, also pay homage to the series. |
The I’m So Excited ($9), a nod to the episode where Jessie sings the Pointer Sisters tune after she becomes addicted to caffeine pills, is one of the most requested cocktails on the beverage menu. |
Are any special events planned for the L.A. run? |
Diners can expect celebrity hosts and DJs, along with special themed nights and events to be announced soon. |

Another week, another No. 1 ranking for Fox News Channel. |
The network ran its streak to 41 weeks as the most-watched network on basic cable, averaging 1.5 million total viewers across the 24-hour day, per Nielsen live-plus-same-day data. |
The finish wasn’t quite as impressive in prime time. Fox News ranked No. 4 in prime time. FS1 and TBS broadcast the League Championship Series last week (NLCS on FS1 and ALCS on TBS), while ESPN delivered large audiences with Monday Night Football and the start of the NBA regular season. |
FNC averaged 2.6 million total prime time viewers, and claimed 12 of the 30-most-watched cable telecasts overall, including presentations of Hannity, Tucker Carlson Tonight, The Ingraham Angle and The Five. Two Hannity telecasts this past week garnered larger total audiences than NBA game on TNT between the Lakers and ... |
Hannity had the top-rated cable news program on Thursday, Oct. 18 with 3.1 million in total viewers and 723,000 in the 25-54 demo. |
Despite that drop to 4th place, FNC posted +48 percent total prime time viewer growth vs. the same week last year, when it also earned a 4th place finish. |
FNC will most certainly move back up to No. 1 or No. 2 across basic cable by the end of this week, with the MLB playoffs moving from cable to broadcast. |
Fox News blew its cable news competition out of the water last week, beating CNN and MSNBC combined in prime time and total day among total viewers for the third consecutive week. |
MSNBC dropped out of the top 5 in total viewers. The network was also -9 percent in prime time viewers, and -6 percent in total day viewers vs. last year. |
CNN was +5 percent in total prime time viewers, but -7 percent in total day viewers vs. last year. |
Over on FBN, the premiere of Trish Regan Prime Time delivered the network’s most-watched week for the 8 p.m. ET hour in history (209,000 total viewers), according to Nielsen live-plus-same-day data. On the downside, the program lost a significant chunk of its Lou Dobbs Tonight lead-in. To be fair, Dobbs has had the mos... |
Nevertheless, the 209,000 viewers Regan’s new show averaged capped a good week for FBN as it once again performed nicely in Business Day, Market Hours and Total Day among total viewers. |
Additionally, the debut of Kennedy in the 9 p.m. slot also performed above average with a +58 percent increase in total viewers compared to the month of October, which aired a repeat of Strange Inheritance during the hour. |
Job growth in December surpassed expectations. |
U.S. stocks staged a major rally to close out the week, more than erasing Thursday’s sharp losses after a better-than-expected jobs report showed employers adding new personnel at a robust pace. |
Also bolstering sentiment were remarks by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. |
What are major indexes doing? |
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.42% rose 746.94 points, or 3.3%, to 23,433.16, while the S&P 500 index SPX, +0.16% advanced 84.05 points, or 3.4%, to 2,531.94. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +0.02% advanced 275.35 points, or 4.3%, to 6,738.86. |
At session highs, the Dow rose as much as 832.42 points, the S&P 500 90.16 points, while the Nasdaq surged 297.18 points. |
Friday’s performance saved markets from what had been the worst start to a year for the Dow and S&P 500 since 2000, according to Dow Jones Market Data. |
After Friday’s close, the Dow is up 0.5% on the year, the S&P 500 1%, while the Nasdaq has advanced 1.6% over the first three trading days of 2019. |
The U.S. economy added 312,000 new jobs in December, well above expectations for a gain of 182,000, according to a MarketWatch poll of economists. The strong headline number, along with data showing wages grew faster than expected, helped dampen fears that the Federal Reserve is being overly optimistic in its plans to ... |
Investor optimism was further reinforced by comments by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, who said during a Friday morning appearance that the jobs report didn’t materially increase concerns over rising inflation, while reiterating that the central bank would continue to keep an open mind about how much it will raise interes... |
The healthy report comes on the heels of a statement from China’s Commerce Ministry confirming that a delegation of U.S. trade officials would meet with their Chinese counterparts Monday and Tuesday, news reports said, marking the first time the two sides have met since President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinp... |
Sentiment also got a boost after China’s central bank on Friday cut the ratio of cash that banks must hold as reserves by 100 basis points, or 1%, according to news reports — a move that is seen as a means to help reduce the risk of a sharper slowdown in the world’s second largest economy. |
Also adding to optimism in China was a report showing that the Chinese services sector grew at a faster rate in December versus November, while export orders rose at the fastest pace in six months. |
Stocks fell hard Thursday after Apple cut its revenue guidance, in part citing weakness in China. A round of weak manufacturing survey data out of China, the eurozone and the U.S. added to the gloom. Apple shares fell sharply, posting their biggest one-day percentage drop since 2013 while the overall market drop left t... |
What are the analysts saying? |
Stocks added to their gains in the immediate wake of Powell’s comments because “he reiterated that there isn’t a set path for future interest rate hikes,” Steve Chiavarone, portfolio manager with Federated Investments, told MarketWatch. |
“It’s not that the Fed is here to save the markets from volatility,’ he added. “But the magnitude of the pullback we’ve had, around 20%, tells you something about what the market believes about the underlying economy. It would be the height of hubris for Powell to disregard that,” and markets are taking solace in Powel... |
With job growth and wage growth continuing to beat investor expectations, “it makes it very difficult to argue that the Fed should come to a complete halt in hiking interest rates, or that the economy is meaningfully weakening,” Willie Delwiche, investment strategist with R.W. Baird, told MarketWatch. |
