CHAMPLAIN - Of the eight people from the Adirondack Region heading to Buffalo for shooting at the Empire State Games, three of them are members of the Visconti family.
Family patriarch Peter Visconti, who began shooting rifles in 10th grade, said he continued to do so through college, eventually stopping a couple years after that.
"I picked it up again about two years ago," he said. "Two years ago, I shot in the Empire State Games and we got a bronze medal. Our team came in third and I came in fourth, individually."
Then, shortly thereafter, his son Andrew, now 12, took up the sport.
"I just assumed that Andrew was going to want to shoot and he seemed like he had the interest, so we just started shooting," said Peter.
After seeing girls taking part at a state shooting festival last year, Peter's daughter, Betsy, 14, decided she wanted to take on the sport as well.
During Memorial Day weekend, the family tried out to participate in the Empire State Games. Of the 30,000 people who try out to represent their region of New York State, in any sport, only 6,000 make it.
Betsy and Andrew will compete in the scholastic 3-position rifle event. Andrew will also compete alongside his father for the air rifle team.
"I didn't really think that I was going to make it," said Andrew, although he's excited.
Betsy felt the same.
"I was kind of surprised, too. I just started not too long ago," she said.
Peter said he is excited to have his children with him at the games.
"It's great. It's going to be cool," he said. "Because they can continue shooting this even when they become adults or senior citizens. With shooting, you can continue doing it your entire life."
Peter added it's a sport he hopes other people will try as well.

JAIPUR: A solution to the 26-day-old violent agitation by Gujjars, to press for Scheduled Tribe status, appeared to have been found late on Tuesday.
Leaders negotiating on behalf of the community and the Rajasthan government told the media that they had found a "solution" but desisted from making the contents of the agreement public. They promised that it would be made known on Wednesday.
"I am happy to announce that the talks have been successful," said BJP national treasurer Ramdas Agarwal, who led the government side at the weeklong talks, said.
"The talks have achieved historic success," said Gujjar leader Kirori Singh Bainsla.

Transonic PRO Pest Repeller
By Max
from Tennessee
About Me Handyman
First of all this is a BIRD-X product which is sold everywhere with great reviews. The only negative review I have seen concerns the noise emited being too loud on the med and high setting, if you actually read the instructions this is stated in them. The quiet mode is barely audible so using it in that mode has litterly no distractions on people in the same room as the unit. The products works great. I moved out a family of Racoons from my atic in a matter of a few days and so far they have not returned.

from Undisclosed
I have used these repellers for years in my barn, other out buildings, in the attic and crawl space of our home. They are totally effective in keeping rats and mice out of those areas. In areas like the barn where they are an annoyance if you have to spend any amount of time working I have set them up with an on/off switch. I cannot recommend them highly enough.t

Bird X Does NOT Work On Birds
By Bob
from York, PA
Because this is called Bird X and shows a bird on the box I assumed it would scare off birds. The inside instructions say it does not affect birds. So I guess that was a waste of money.

Pest repeller? It does more then that!!!
By silvrrubi592
from Lodi NJ
About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
Bought this less then an hour ago. Opened it right up and plugged it in and then almost dropped it as I had to cover my ears. Instructions say lowest volume is barely audible...you'd have to be pretty much deaf not to hear this in a house on the lowest setting. Unfortunately for squirrels and "large pests" you need it on the medium setting. Instructions say the ultrasonic sounds won't penetrate walls....but the pests are in the space between the ceiling and the roof - so I can't get it there!!!!! It's great that the instructions say clearly what it won't do, but you have to buy it to get the instructions to read. Might be great for unoccupied spaces but this is not what I need it for.

Didn't work for me :-(
By Malibu4u
from Burbank, CA
Based on reviews I purchased. It seemed like it would be a big step-up from the solar stake units. It is suppose to drive away insects, rodents , and even cats and dogs for ranges of as afar as 3500 ft. It comes with 3 settings. the larger the pest the more noise. Kept it at the meduim setting initially. Than when my son went to retrieve Xmas decorations he had a rat about run over his foot. So for the next 24 plus hours I turned it ob high which is quite loud and obnonious. Closed garage door to mute sound to neighbors, leaving partially open so rodents would be able to vacate. Didn't work still have rats so I returned. I'm going to buy two of the stake ones that run off solar power. Just hope they still have them. Used before and that worked well.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The back of this vest top shoulder has Outdoor Research spelled out about 1.5 inches high and 3 inches wide Zippers are easy to use even with gloves. Baffles keep insulation in place.
Since I received my transcendent vest I've literally only taken it off maybe three times. It's like being swaddled by a pillow. Anyways, it's super light and extremely packable making it a great asset for backpacking. I really like the almost hidden chest pocket, it's barely noticeable but once you open that bad boy up it's rather large. I love that the vest that will stuff into its' own pocket it's very handy for packing it away nice and tight. Outdoor research makes great quality gear and the fact that's it is guaranteed for life just attest to the confidence of their own workmanship and makes me love their products even more so having that peace of mind to wear the snot out of it. All in all great vest I'd definitely recommend.

"In case you are not aware of the post Wrestlecon/Mania trip Billy went on a well deserved "vacation" with his lovely wife of forever Valerie in her new car, as Billy had never seen the Grand Tetons and this was part of his bucket list with a painting of them at a later date. They traveled approximately 1000 miles from home, are on the Utah/Wyoming border and Billy gets sick in multiple ways…..first possible blockage in colon, ER admitted him as the liver plays tricky stuff with your body. Upon having a bout of Reflux syndrome, it went back down not the esophagus but into the lungs causing pneumonia. This is particularly dangerous because acid reflux going into lungs way different than water ..it has much bacteria ……..next discovery is that Billy is bleeding internally and they have to find out from where. He is not feeling very well nor doing very well and Valerie is naturally very stressed. I may go there to help her if the air fares come down from outrageous prices.
This is not a very good scenario and far more crucial than the bout her had recently before WM and the ones he gets every so often due to the compromised immune system. Asking all fans, friends, colleagues to seriously pray. I know he is strong as an ox but this time I am actually frightened.
Scott O Epstein, agent and friend"
Epstein also released a picture of Graham in the hospital.
-- Kayfabe Wrestling Radio recently interviewed WWE referee and new author Jimmy Korderas about how he was discovered as a photographer, working with Jack Tunney, and much more. Below are some highlights:
Korderas on writing his book and what made him want to do it: "Well, to make a very long story short, it began with my wife, Audrey. She was the one who kept saying after I left the WWE, 'You know what, you've got so many of these great stories to tell; you should write a book.' And I'm thinking to myself, 'Yeah, but nobody wants to read a book about fun stuff.' In my mind, I'm think everyone wants to read about dirt, you know, that whole 'what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas mentality'. They want to hear what happens in Vegas, you know what I mean? I'm thinking I don't know, and then I got together with Arda Ocal and we started doing our wrestling radio podcast and that sort of stuff and working on the ScoreTV up here in Canada. We'd hang around and I'd tell him stories and he'd say 'You know, you should put that in a book. It's kind of funny and some fun stories.' And I'm thinking to myself the same thing. Eventually, he kept notes on his phone and he forwarded an e-mail to me with a whole bunch of stories on it and said 'This stuff should be in a book'. So he's the one who contacted me with ECW Press and we met with them and pitched it to them and they liked the idea and it ran from there."
Korderas on asking for help on how to be a better referee: "I did that all the time and I even asked the boys 'Hey, if I do anything wrong, please let me know'. The problem for me is, and maybe I'm overly critical; I hated watching myself back because I am my own worst critic. Even the smallest little thing, I'd go 'Why did I do that? Why did I move like that? Why did I look over there?' I was never really happy with myself. You always strive to be as close to perfect as you can be because there's no such real thing as perfect. Again, I would find flaws with everything that I did and it got to the point where maybe I shouldn't be watching myself anymore. But it is kind of cool to see yourself on TV, I have to admit, let's be honest."
On if he was ever awe struck by anyone in the ring: "Almost all the time. It's so amazing; I consider myself lucky to have been there for different eras. Like you said, the Golden Era with the Andre the Giant's and the Hulk Hogan's and the Randy Savage's, and then Next Generation with Bret Hart and the Shawn Michael and that era and the Kliq, and then the Attitude Era, which people to this day still talk about and living through that, and moving onto the next generation with John Cena, Batista and porbably my favorite of all time in The Undertaker. Honestly, I...

Examining IPv6 on today's Internet
Is the world ready for the next generation Internet Protocol? We take a look at Linux with IPv6.
The TCP/ IP protocol, which began as an obscure experiment for a handful of academics and U.S. Department of Defense officials, suddenly became popular in the late 1980s and 1990s with the meteoric rise of the Internet. By the early 1990s, the IP address space – which had seemed quite vast in the early days – was beginning to look all too finite, and the experts began to wonder what would happen if the Internet ever ran out of addresses. Work began on a new version of the Internet Protocol (IP) that would put an end to worries of overcrowding. A plan for the new protocol, which came to be known as "IP Next Generation" (IPng), was adopted by theInternet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in 1994, and the details for the IPv6 protocol were released through a flotilla of documents surrounding the RFC 2460 IPv6 specification.

Interesting survey results on blogging, readers, and RSS. Found on BloggersBlog.com…
Blogging and readership are growing. MSN Spaces is growing in a BIG way. (Hooray for our team. )
"What's the bad news?"
50% of regular blog readers don't know what RSS stands for (no, it's not "Rocket Science Surgery") let alone how to use it to pull posts they're interested in.
The beauty of RSS is that you control the channel. That means that instead of going back to a web site over and over again to find something new, you can (or should be able to) capture a link and set up something that will automatically TELL YOU when something is new or interesting to YOU.
And here's the kicker… I am really passionate about building and supporting the IT Pro community. (Been there, done that, and now I want to give IT Pros all the help and resources I can.) And part of my focus in doing that is in letting people know about our events (live, webcasts, whatever). Microsoft and I can't email all of you without seriously invading your privacy. And perhaps you have unknowingly opted-out of receiving any emails from Microsoft letting you know when we'll be coming to your area.
So what if I were to give you a way to control the channel in terms of getting notified about certain events? You could set up a news aggregator (I happen to love SharpReader.. and it's free) and insert the feed link there… a feed that will only notify you when an event near you or that you find interesting has been scheduled.
"Sounds cool… but really, what benefits will I see from this?"
How about this:
"Sweet! Sign me up!"
No no no.. Weren't you paying attention? You're empowered to do that yourself! We're still improving the ways you can do this, but right now you can actually go to www.technetevents.com, www.techneteventsbloggers.net, or www.microsoft.com/webcasts and find lots of RSS feeds – some you can even customize for events coming your area!
So.. get a reader, go to our sites, get some links, and be connected!

Linda & Glen were very nice people to sit and chat with, we really enjoyed their company. The room was huge and most probably the quietest B&B wee have ever stayed in. Comfy bed and well thought out amenities for their guests. I think this was one of the best breakfasts we have had on the SW Coast Path.

|Simmons: 12 Celtics-Bulls Subplots
|04.23.09 at 2:27 pm ET
Two games in, Bill Simmons is already dubbing the 2009 Celtics-Bulls matchup as one of the best first round series ever played. In his most recent column he explored the scenario of 'An aging/injured/exhausted/depleted heavyweight (Boston) fights off a hungry young challenger that's clearly coming into its own (Chicago).' Simmons examined 12 subplots of the series, ultimately resting it all in the hands of Ray Allen. (But not before sneaking in a jab against Joakim Noah.) Click here to read the column.
|Bulls mystique gone for Celtics?
|at 12:40 am ET
The Boston Celtics pride themselves on having one of the best home crowds in the league. Each game thousands of fans make sure the opposing team takes notice of the 17 banners hanging in the rafters, while memories of Bird, Parish, and McHale are never far from their minds.
But when the Celtics travel to Chicago for Games 3 and 4 of the playoffs against the Bulls, they will be met by a United Center crowd who wants them to acknowledge their own collection of banners. It has been just over ten years since Michael Jordan led the Bulls to six NBA Championships in eight seasons, and their fans are eager to see a first round upset.
So what do the Celtics expect from the Bulls crowd?
'It's really hard to answer that question because I know there was a Jordan era in Chicago and then there's a post-Jordan era. Those are two different eras,' said Ray Allen. 'Playing when he played, it was one atmosphere that was uncomparable. Now people are supportive and there's a lot of basketball fans in that city, but the mystique when he was there was totally different.'
Like Allen, Stephon Marbury played against Jordan early in his career. While he agrees that Bulls fans still show their support, there is no replacing Jordan's presence.
'They have a really good system as far as how they get the crowd into the game. I think after Michael Jordan, they stayed consistent with exactly what they do. So it's going to be a nice atmosphere,' Marbury said. 'They try to continue with that same mystique. But he's not there.'
Journeyman Mikki Moore has experienced eight different home crowds. Even so, he still ranks the Bulls crowd (one of the few teams he never played for) as one of the best.
'It's a pretty good crowd,' he said. 'It's a lot like here (in Boston). It's one of the top ten arena crowds because of the traditional Bulls. From Scottie (Pippen) and Jordan, it's a basketball city so they're going to come out and support their team regardless.'
For those who played against the Bulls during their dynasty, the memories will still linger in the building. However the younger members of the Celtics cannot relate as their veteran teammates do.
'It's alright. It's no different than any other NBA team,' said Kendrick Perkins. 'You don't [notice a mystique]. You really don't. I've never played there in a playoff game but when we go there in the regular season, most people are all about the Celtics.'
The Celtics and Bulls will face off in Chicago on Thursday at 8pm EST for Game 3 and Sunday at 1pm EST for Game 4.
|Official Powe Statement
|04.21.09 at 3:41 pm ET
On Tuesday the Boston Celtics issued the following statement about forward Leon Powe:
"The Boston Celtics announced today that forward Leon Powe suffered an ACL tear and a meniscus tear in his left knee during Game 2 against the Chicago Bulls in the First Round of the 2009 NBA Playoffs. Powe will miss the remainder of the playoffs. A surgery date will be determined at a later date. This injury is unrelated to the right knee injury that he suffered on March 17. Powe is expected to make a full recovery from his surgery."
|Powe leaves the game
|04.20.09 at 7:47 pm ET
Leon Powe walked back toward the locker room with 10:13 left in the second quarter. Powe, who has been wearing a heavy-duty brace after spraining his right knee in March against the Bulls, has not been moving that well tonight. In seven minutes he posted two points, one rebound, and was called for one foul.
Update: Powe suffered a minor left knee sprain. He is expected to return.

Re: Disappointment of the Year
This year had so many highlights that it's difficult to pick a disappointment. For me, it was disappointing that Rafa had to sit out the latter part of the season. It's not good to see any player have to take extended time off, so I suppose I was also disappointed not to see Soderling return this year, even though I'm not a particular fan of his. Same goes for Fish, who had to withdraw from good positions in multiple tournaments.
I remain disappointed with some of the scheduling (especially Roland Garros to Queen's/Halle, Paris to London) as I felt it deprived us of big performances in the lesser tournaments. Having said this, every cloud has a silver lining and I was happy to see Pics win his first Masters and Tommy Haas beating a heavily favoured but tired Federer at Halle.
Disappointed in Nalbandian's behaviour at Queen's because sentimentally I wanted him to win that tournament and his play deserved it, but he threw away the title and good ranking points with an act of stupidity.
I suppose I was disappointed in various results at the time they happened but that's tennis! And remember, the sweet is never as sweet without the sour...
I support Andy Murray!

Chris Brown is in and out of relationships about as often as he is in and out of trouble with the law! Just days after Brown split from his on and off girlfriend Karrueche Tran, the pair were again spotted making nice on Thursday night as they were exiting the Hollywood Hennessy Party together. Indeed, despite their recent split over a naughty picture that Brown posted of Tran on Instagram, a source close to Tran told RadarOnline.com that she just can't part for good from Rihanna's ex.
"Karrueche can't stay away from Chris because they're young and in love," the source told Radar. "She just can't shake it and nor can he."

"I think they are just really drawn to one another," the source continued. "They care about each other. It's why you go back to something you know isn't good for you."
Just what does she see in Brown, who's spent time in jail and rehab in recent months?
"He's creative, artistic and physically appealing too," the source said.
But there is one bump in this road for the couple: Brown's enduring flame for his ex Rihanna, who he was charged with assaulting in 2009.

Though sources close to the pair say their relationship status up in the air, the source admitted, "He goes back to Rihanna so often,"adding that "I think" Brown is in love with both women.
In fact, Brown briefly called it quits with Tran in February so that he could reunite with Rihanna.
"Rihanna keeps going back to him because she's a glutton for punishment and he was probably her first real love," the source said of Rihanna's attachement to Brown.

While to the outside looking in, it may appear that Brown is playing both of these women, the source said that is not the case.
"I don't think he is playing both of them," the source said. "I just think they have a weird relationship."
"He's clearly tied to both women," the source continued. "He's emotionally and physically attracted to both."

And for Rihanna, it's their history that keeps her involved in the love triangle.
"He will always be tied to Rihanna and they will always have a connection," the source said.
But Tran has something to offer that Rihanna does not.
"Karrueche just seems nicer than Rihanna," the source said. "She has a less strong personality."

Fiji Time: 2:45 PM on Saturday 23 May
/ Front page / Sport
Kameli Rakoko
Sunday, February 03, 2013
SENIVALATI Laulau is still the country's top try-scorer in the Fiji Rugby Union records and with Tevita Makutu they still hold the top try scored in a game record of six tries each.
From his try-scoring debut on the 1980 New Zealand XV tour Laulau scored a total of 200 points from tries.
While the late Senivalati Laulau featured in many sevens trips to Hong Kong the most memorable victory was the 1984 win against New Zealand where Fiji won 26-0.
Since his sevens debut in the British colony in 1982 Laulau had never been in a winning Fiji sevens team until 1984.
The coach for that team was Hyatt Regency Hotel general manager Ian Duncan and he had revived rugby in the Hyatt rugby team and produced such players as Noa Nadruku, Keleto Loboilagi and Etuate 'Honda' Gusuivalu.
Since 1982 Laulau had staked his claim as the fastest in the tournament but when the Fiji team came over in 1984 many rugby followers were surprised that the fastest man in Hong Kong was at rover and not at winger.
That meant that there was a faster man on the outside.
Duncan's ploy had worked and while Laulau drew the markings of the opposition defence Honda took over the scoring.
When they began focusing on Honda Laulau made the inside breaks.
The team had the combination of Paulo Nawalu and Acura Niuqila with Domoniko Manaseitava, Sela Gutugutuwai, Aliposo Waqaliti and Keleto Loboilagi.
It was a very big win for Fiji especially after beating New Zealand who were playing as a national team for the first time.
When this writer went over to Hong Kong in 1991 they were still asking for Honda and he was quite popular with the Chinese community there.
Previously they had been represented by provincial teams, which won the national sevens tournament.
So when the same team got knocked out early under coach Rupeni Ravonu in 1985 and the Kiwis had run out of reserves, they borrowed Laulau to play for them in the final and they won.
Only eight players were allowed to travel and teams could borrow players from other teams when they ran out of reserves.
So he has the record of playing for two national teams on the same day and two different winning teams two years in a row. That's Laulau.
In the full code he was praised not only by local coaches but by overseas coaches as well as a man they would have wanted to be in their team.
In view of the lack of general speed displayed by our team now in Wellington one would have wished for the speed of Laulau, the tearaway runner who left everything for dead in his wake.
In the Argentine tour in San Juan against a West Regional Selection which Fiji won 84-18 Laulau scored four tries, Isimeli Cerelala, Makutu, Kini Vosailagi and hooker Mosese Tamata scored two tries each, while a try each by Jo Ravouvou, Pita Kewa and Jone Ratu.
Match reports of that game played on a warm night said 'the winger picked an intercept near his 22-metre line. Then he scampered back behind his tryline, crossed behind his post and came scorching up in a weaving and swerving run.
He darted by defender after defender and went the length of the field to dive for a try in the corner. Teammates ran to congratulate him.
The crowd at the San Martin soccer stadium rose in hand clapping and foot stomping applause.
"I just can't say anything beating 15 men," Laulau told reporters.
"What a magnificent try. It has never been seen for a long time from any Fiji player," team manager Euate Tavai said.
"An amazing try," English top referee Laurie Prideaux said.
Later in his career Laulau was top try scorer in every match he played in especially the big wins over Queensland and Sydney here and in Australia in the Trans-Tasman competition that saw Fiji play top provincial sides from Australia and New Zealand.
Fiji beat Queensland 49-24 and Sydney 33-19 and Lulau was again the star of the big wins.
In the game against the Western Regional Selection in Argentina he had inside backs Jone Ratu and Kini Vosailagi providing him with the gaps.
Many tries and stories of Laulau's games and we can continue every week, but he will be remembered still in the record books as Fiji's top try scorer ever. He later tried coaching the national sevens team on two tours to Hong Kong but failed to win the title
Former teammate on that Argentine tour as well as all his Fiji XVs and sevens teammates will read this story and remember the soft-spoken Nadi man as one of the country's best scoring machine. The official record agrees.
We may never have another Laulau and we can all remember him for his contribution to Fiji rugby as Nadroga's Jone Ratu said, a man who gave everything to rugby.
"He was an unstoppable man and he always gave all his heart on the rugby field during a game and also in training," Ratu said.
"He was a humble and respectable man who trained as he played, always pushing to the limit, never giving up."
The Nawaka man may have left us but he has left a legacy that every young man who wants to achieve big things, can follow.
Lai Moce re Aule. So long Laulau.

TradeStation Group Announces Record Brokerage Revenues; 2002 First Quarter Brokerage Revenues Increase 25% Over Prior Quarter and 35% Year Over Year.
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 15, 2002
Customer Accounts Grow 76% Over Prior Quarter
2002 First Quarter Results 54% Better Than Business Outlook
TradeStation Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:TRAD), the parent company of the award-winning TradeStation Securities direct-access brokerage, today reported its financial results for the first quarter 2002. First quarter 2002 brokerage revenue was a record high, growing 25% over fourth quarter 2001 brokerage revenue and 35% over first quarter 2001 brokerage revenue, and was 22% better than estimated in the company's 2002 Business Outlook. Also, TradeStation Group's net results were 54% better than what was estimated in its 2002 Business Outlook. The company experienced 76% account growth from fourth quarter 2001 with respect to TradeStation 6 brokerage platform accounts.
First Quarter 2002 Financial Results Demonstrate Strong Brokerage Revenue Growth
In the 2002 first quarter, revenue from TradeStation's brokerage business increased 25% to $6.8 million, as compared to 2001 fourth quarter brokerage revenue of $5.5 million, and increased 35% compared to 2001 first quarter brokerage revenue of $5.1 million. Brokerage revenue for the 2002 first quarter was also 22% better than what was estimated in the company's 2002 Business Outlook. Substantial growth in the number of TradeStation 6 platform accounts was the main reason for the increase. Excluding TradeStation Group's legacy software operations, which have been phased-out by the company since May 2000, revenues increased 17% to $8.5 million in the 2002 first quarter, as compared to $7.3 million in the 2001 fourth quarter, and increased 9% as compared to $7.8 million in the 2001 first quarter. Total revenues, including legacy software operations, were $9.7 million in the 2002 first quarter, compared to $9.1 million in the 2001 fourth quarter, and as compared to $12.1 million in the 2001 first quarter (the 2001 first quarter included $4.3 million of legacy software revenue).
TradeStation Group's first quarter 2002 net loss per share of 5 cents was 54% better than the company's 2002 Business Outlook, and one cent, or 14%, better than the company's net loss per share of 6 cents for the 2001 fourth quarter (after excluding non-recurring, non-cash fourth quarter 2001 charges relating to impairment of goodwill and certain intangible assets and providing a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets). The company's 2001 first quarter net loss per share was 4 cents.
$18.4 Million of Cash and Marketable Securities
TradeStation Group had cash and marketable securities of $18.4 million at March 31, 2002, approximately $3.9 million of which was restricted at that date. At March 31, 2002, the company had no borrowings other than $1.7 million of capital lease obligations.
"We believe our available cash resources are sufficient to enable our growth to produce sustained positive cash and earnings results," said David Fleischman, Chief Financial Officer of TradeStation Group.
Trading Activity Soars As Company Grows Active Trader Customer Base
The company experienced the following daily trading results with respect to TradeStation 6 platform equities and futures accounts in the 2002 first quarter:
Equities Account Statistics Q1 02 Q4 01 % Increase --------------------------- ----- ----- ---------- Average daily revenue trades 3,824 2,177 76% Average daily share volume 4,452,000 2,590,000 72% Futures Account Statistics Q1 02 Q4 01 % Increase -------------------------- ----- ----- ---------- Average daily revenue trades (a "trade" includes both the 953 329 190% initiating and closing trades)
"While virtually every major online brokerage firm has experienced a decline in average daily trades during the 2002 first quarter and trading volume is down from a year ago, we have achieved record brokerage revenue," said Bill Cruz, Co-Chairman of the Board and Co-CEO. "This growth, in these times, continues to demonstrate the immense drawing power and value of TradeStation 6 to the active trader market."
Customer Account Metrics Among the Best in the Industry
Stock brokerage clients using the TradeStation 6 platform generated the following customer account metrics in the 2002 first quarter:
Customer Account Metrics ------------------------ Annualized average revenue per account $8,811 Annualized trades per account 434 Average assets per account $103,274
"The metrics on customer accounts for equities clients using TradeStation 6 are outstanding," said Cruz. "We have maintained for some time that the TradeStation 6 platform attracts very active traders. Our average TradeStation 6 brokerage client traded more than 100 times in the 2002 first quarter. We believe we will be a major player in the online brokerage industry."
At the end of the 2002 first quarter, the company had 3,737 funded TradeStation 6 equities and futures accounts, a 76% increase over the 2,127 accounts the company had at the end of the 2001 fourth quarter. "We believe the trading activity generated by this number of accounts is a powerful statement about the leverage of our active trader business model," said Cruz. "It doesn't take that many accounts to run a sizeable and profitable business. It just takes the right accounts. As we continue to add accounts, they should deliver substantial results without significantly increasing our infrastructure."
Company Announces New All-Inclusive Per Share Commission Plan
On March 27, 2002, TradeStation Securities launched a new brokerage commission plan that charges active traders fees based solely upon the share volume of their trades, the way institutional traders are charged. Currently, nearly all online brokerage firms that offer direct-access execution charge their customers a commission made up of two components: a per trade charge, typically called a "ticket" charge; and ECN and other marked-up pass-through fees for direct-access service. The all-inclusive per share approach now offered by TradeStation greatly simplifies commission pricing and gives active traders the benefit of being able to scale in and out of positions without incurring additional ticket charges.
Company's 2002 Business Outlook May Be Reevaluated Next Quarter
Given the company's recent changes to its brokerage commission pricing structure, and the continued uncertainties surrounding the online brokerage market generally, the company decided to make no revisions to its 2002 Business Outlook that was published January 17, 2002.
"While we have significantly out-performed our Business Outlook for the 2002 first quarter," said Fleischman, "and look forward to the accelerated active trader account growth we believe our new pricing structure will produce, prudence dictates that we make no changes to our Business Outlook until we see at least one fiscal quarter of results from our new pricing structure."
Conference Call
At 11:00 a.m., eastern time, today, the management of TradeStation Group will conduct an analyst conference call to discuss the company's 2002 first quarter results. The telephone conference will be broadcast live via the Internet at http://www.TradeStation.com. A rebroadcast of the call will be accessible for approximately 90 days.
