Soccer people call these kind of plays 50/50 balls, because two players on Tiffany Money Clips team presumably have an equal chance to gain control of the ball.

Maggie Bosley, a South Aiken senior center midfielder, has a way of tilting the odds of these moments to her advantage. She won a 50/50 ball in the middle of the penalty box and whistled in a shot to start the scoring of her team’s Class AAA state quarterfinal against Airport on Friday night.

“If there is a 50/50 ball on the field, she’s the girl we want going after it,” South Aiken coach Jason Holt said.

Bosley, a Wofford recruit, helped South Aiken to its 10th consecutive win, a 4-0 rout of Airport. South Aiken beat its region opponent for the fourth time this season and will play at Hilton Head Island in the semifinals Monday. The winner will play for the state title Friday in Columbia. South Aiken lost in the state final 2-0 to Riverside (Greenville area) a year ago.

South Aiken (19-2-2), whose only losses this year have come against Class Tiffany CuffLinks teams White Knoll and Wando, shut out its sixth consecutive opponent and did not allow Airport to take a shot on goal.

The Thoroughbreds had won their previous two playoff games by a combined 19-0 and had beaten Airport 2-1, 3-2 and 4-0 earlier in the year. It took South Aiken nearly the entire first half to register a goal, but once it did even a 1-0 lead seemed insurmountable.

Anna Loudermilk scored two second-half goals in the final 11 minutes for South Aiken, which outshot the visitors 18-0. Amanda Harris also scored for South Aiken.

“It just took us a little while to wake up as a team,” Holt said. “Our touches were a little off. I don’t really have a n explanation for why, but once we warmed up and started to get a little hungry, we got back in the rhythm of the team we think we can be. Once we get close to the goal and see our captains start to lead the way, the whole team rallies behind them and we start to play good soccer”.

The first goal was the most important against a team Holt said he expected to play a defensive game and attempt to take the Thoroughbreds to penalty kicks.

That plan scooted awry six minutes before the half, when Bosley fought off a defender inside the box, chased a well-touched pass from Harris and gained control of the ball. From there, all it took was a simple touch to beat Airport goalkeeper Cassie Shumpert. It was the Thoroughbreds’ 12th shot of the half, Tiffany Key Rings included a scorching strike from Bosley 15 minutes into the game that smashed off the crossbar.

Denver-based Alcohol Monitoring Systems (AMS) has recently lost a tiffany and co long-standing patent infringement case against Tampa, Florida-based Actsoft. But company officials are calling the loss a win for its proprietary SCRAM System.

AMS manufactures SCRAM, the Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor. On the market since 2003, the system has monitored more than 102,000 alcohol offenders in 47 states. The lawsuit, filed by AMS in 2007 in Colorado’s Federal District Court, challenged that Actsoft violated AMS’ intellectual property with their product, “HAS,” or House Arrest Solution, which Actsoft says combines GPS location monitoring with an embedded “continuous alcohol monitoring” component.

In what AMS CEO Mike Iiams calls a “surprise” ruling by the court, in April, the presiding judge bangles in the case ruled that Actsoft did not violate AMS patents – because the product does not actually calculate Blood Alcohol Content (BAC), the de facto measurement used worldwide to determine whether an individual has consumed alcohol and the level of intoxication. “While it was a technical loss, the ruling confirmed what Actsoft testified to in court – that the continuous alcohol monitoring component of their bracelet didn’t in any way meet any of the criteria for being a reliable indicator of alcohol consumption,” says Iiams. According to court documents, Actsoft executives and lawyers testified and stated repeatedly throughout the case that their product does not monitor BAC, is not calibrated, cannot distinguish between consumed and environmental exposure to alcohol and requires a secondary breath or blood test to determine actual intoxication.

“The reality is that a monitoring system that provides results that can’t hold up in court is of no use to the criminal justice system,” says Stephen K. Talpins, vice president of Industry Relations for Alcohol Monitoring Systems and a former DUI prosecutor for the Miami-Dade State Attorney in Florida. “A system that can’t distinguish rings between an incidental environmental exposure to a product with alcohol and actual consumption puts the courts, district attorneys and probation at risk of wrongly punishing offenders for consumption.”

Talpins adds that even the treatment and behavior modification benefits that problem drinkers experience from reliable monitoring is lost with a system that can’t confirm a violation. “That type of alcohol monitoring would do nothing to deter alcohol misuse, which is the root cause of the criminal behavior. It would create a false sense of accountability, and it puts families and communities at risk,” he says.

According to Iiams, despite their view of the ruling as a win, the company is appealing the case. “The integrity bracelets of the technology and the trust that the courts place in us requires that we continue to vigorously defend any infringement on our intellectual property,” says Iiams. “Just because a company does a poor job of violating our patents does not mean it isn’t a violation,” he says.

AMS plans to launch the next generation of their product in 2009. The new system will incorporate house arrest technology with their established alcohol monitoring system, opening up what the company says is a substantial market for higher risk offenders who courts want to monitor and limit their location. According to Iiams, the system will be the first one in the U.S. to combine location and curfew monitoring functions with continuous alcohol monitoring.

IndexIQ, a leading developer of index-based alternative investment solutions, will tiffany and co ring The Opening BellSM at the New York Stock Exchange this morning in a ceremony that will mark the November 17, 2009 launch of the firm’s IQ ARB Merger Arbitrage Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF), the first merger arbitrage ETF (NYSE Arca: MNA).

“It’s great to be back at the New York Stock Exchange to celebrate the launch of MNA,” said Adam Patti, chief executive officer at IndexIQ. “By investing in MNA, investors will have exposure to the fast-growing area of global corporate mergers and acquisitions in an ETF. With the introduction of IQ ARB Merger Arbitrage ETF last month, we continue to advance our goal of making sophisticated institutional strategies available to investors via Exchange-Traded Funds.”

The IQ ARB Merger Arbitrage ETF (NYSE Arca: MNA) seeks investment results that correspond, before fees and expenses, to the price and yield performance of the IQ ARB Merger Arbitrage Index. The Index invests in global companies for which there has been a public announcement of a takeover by an acquirer, a strategy generally known as “merger arbitrage.” This strategy generally seeks to take advantage of the price differential, where it exists, between the current trading price of a stock and the price of that stock at the time the deal is completed. The ETF-based approach to merger arbitrage investing offers a number of advantages, including intra-day liquidity, portfolio transparency, and low fees.*

IndexIQ is the sponsor of a family of alternative investment ETFs. In addition to MNA, these include tiffany key rings IQ CPI Inflation Hedged ETF (NYSE Arca: CPI), the first U.S.-listed “real return” ETF; IQ ARB Global Resources ETF (NYSE Arca: GRES), the first global resources hedged ETF; IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker ETF (NYSE Arca: QAI), the first U.S.-listed hedge fund replication ETF; and IQ Hedge Macro Tracker ETF (NYSE Arca: MCRO), the first market directional hedge fund replication ETF. The firm also launched in June 2008 the first no-load hedge fund replication mutual fund, the IQ ALPHA Hedge Strategy Fund (IQHIX – Institutional Share Class, and IQHOX – Investor Share Class).

Investors are reminded that all investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. The IQ ALPHA Hedge Strategy Fund (IQ Fund), the IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker ETF (IQ Multi-Strategy ETF), and the IQ Macro Tracker ETF (IQ Macro ETF) are not hedge funds and do not invest in hedge funds. The IQ ALPHA Hedge Strategy Fund is a registered open-end mutual fund that invests in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and similar securities in an attempt to replicate the performance characteristics of certain hedge fund investing styles, but with less tiffany necklaces cost, more liquidity, and greater portfolio transparency than traditional hedge funds. The Funds are new, with limited historical performance data. There can be no assurance that the Funds’ investment strategies will be successful.

The investment performance of the IQ Multi-Strategy ETF, the IQ Macro ETF and the IQ CPI Inflation Hedged ETF (collectively, the IQ ETFs), because they are funds of funds, depends on the investment performance of the underlying ETFs in which they invest. There is no guarantee that the IQ ETFs themselves, or each of the underlying ETFs in the Funds’ portfolios, will perform exactly as its underlying index. The IQ ETFs are non-diversified and susceptible to greater losses if a single portfolio investment declines than would a diversified mutual fund. The IQ ETFs’ underlying ETFs invest in: foreign securities, which subject them to risk of loss not typically associated with domestic markets, such as currency fluctuations and political uncertainty; commodities markets, which subject them to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds; and fixed income securities, which subject them to credit risk – the possibility that the issuer of a security will be unable to make interest payments and/or repay the principal on its debt – and interest rate risk – changes in the value of a fixed-income security resulting from changes in interest rates. Leverage, including borrowing, will cause some of the IQ ETF’s underlying ETFs to be more volatile than if the underlying ETFs had not been leveraged.

The investments of the IQ ARB Global Resources ETF (GRES) are concentrated in the global resources sector, the value of its shares will be affected by factors specific to that sector and may fluctuate more widely than that of a fund which invests in a broad range of industries. GRES also may be susceptible to foreign securities risk. Since GRES invests in foreign markets, it will be subject to risk of loss not typically associated with domestic markets. Loss may result because of less foreign government regulation, less public information, less economic, political and social stability, or other factors. GRES is exposed to mid and small capitalization companies risk. Stock prices of mid and small capitalization companies may be more volatile than those of larger companies and also are more vulnerable than bangles those of large capitalization companies to adverse business and economic developments. Since GRES may invest directly in foreign currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign currencies, GRES is subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. GRES has a limited operating history.

Certain of the proposed takeover transactions in which the IQ ARB Merger Arbitrage ETF (“Merger Arb ETF”), invests may be renegotiated, terminated or involve a longer time frame than originally contemplated, which may negatively impact the Merger Arb ETF’s returns. The Merger Arb ETF’s investment strategy may result in high portfolio turnover, which, in turn, may result in increased transaction costs to the Merger Arb ETF and lower total returns. The Merger Arb ETF is susceptible to foreign securities risk -since the Fund invests in foreign markets, it will be subject to risk of loss not typically associated with domestic markets, including currency transaction risk. Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses. Stock prices of mid and small capitalization companies may be more volatile than those of larger companies.

ETFs should be considered speculative investments entailing a high degree of risk, are not suitable for all investors and do not represent a complete investment program.
