Brokerage account
A brokerage account is an account at a stockbroker. The account is maintained for the purpose of investing.
Expanded Definition
Most brokerage accounts allow investment in stocks, exchange traded funds (ETFs), bonds, and mutual funds. Some allow investing in options and futures contracts. A margin account permits investing on the margin, i.e., with borrowed cash or stock (short selling). Most brokerage accounts provide money markets for idle cash. Some allow check writing. Some permit access by credit card or by ATM. Most accept orders by telephone or via the internet. Most issue monthly statements of the account.
Most brokerage firms can act as custodian for your IRA, Roth IRA or a variety of other qualified retirement accounts. These accounts are kept separate, but often you can obtain combined monthly statements and sometimes composited account allocation information, etc. Many offer estate planning, financial planning, and retirement planning services. Some offer trust services and charitable giving services. Some offer 529 plans.
The traditional broker is a full service broker with an office on main street in your community. You work with a personal broker who knows your account and investing style and offers you advice and appropriate investment opportunities. He/she also is your contact for an array of specialized products and services offered by the firm. Brokers of this style are known as "wire houses." In days gone by, they would telegraph your order to a stock exchange for execution.
Under the best of circumstances, a personal broker with a full service brokerage can be a beneficial relationship. However, it is a high cost model. Often commission rates are high and there is a tendency to recommend investments like load funds or annuities that pay high commissions.
Discount brokers usually offer the same products and services, but with less personal attention. They are frequently accessed by the internet or by 800 telephone numbers. You are more on your own to identify investment opportunities of interest and appropriate for your needs, but fees charged for these services are often much lower than at a full service broker.
Some brokers own a seat on the New York Stock Exchange or other exchanges. This gives them direct access to the exchange. Other brokers process your order through other firms.

In 1884, Karl Elsener opened his cutlery workshop in Ibach, Switzerland. In 1891, he obtained the first contract to supply the Swiss Army with a "soldier's knife." Six years later he invented the original Swiss Officer's Knife, which was officially registered on June 12, 1897. Since then, the Victorinox Swiss Army Knife has become well known for precision, quality, and functionality.
This is the updated version of the official knife issued to all members of the Swiss military and includes a one-handed serrated locking blade, Phillips screwdriver, can opener, small screwdriver, bottle opener, large locking screwdriver, wire stripper, reamer, key ring, and wood saw.

Its part of allowing people to have more control over their formations that they can make players do silly things ...
(the main thing is they should try and behave as sanely as possible ... well as possible as a sweeper placed on the far left/right would irl ...)

Salt Lake Chamber Women's Programs Team (left to right) Heidi Walker, Chief Operating Officer Jackie Sexton, VP of Events & Programs Pamela Okumura, Business Consultant, WBC Lavanya Mahate, Executive Director, WBC
T he staff at the Salt Lake Chamber Women's Business Center (WBC) love to help women create successful lives in the areas of business, community leadership, and personal fulfillment. "The WBC upholds the unique gifts and contributions of women in our community, because we understand the great benefits to society when women share their intelligence, intuition and aspirations in life," says WBC Program Director Lavanya Mahate.
The most successful women business owners "think big" from the start. Training and coaching for women entrepreneurs at the WBC stress the importance of laying the foundation for business growth from day one, regardless of the business owner's current plans for growth. Through programs such as the Business Women's Forum and the Women's Network for Entrepreneurial Training the experiences of women who have achieved high business growth are converted into practical learning programs to help every woman aspiring to lead a flourishing enterprise.
"The imparting of knowledge must move beyond motivational commentary to focus on the nitty-gritty specifics of best practices and mistakes to avoid," Mahate says. "We also highlight the importance of intuition, inspiration and imagination- qualities that are necessary to stay alive and fresh in the business arena. "Starting a business is not separate from fulfilling your life, home, and worldly aspirations- they exist together, " Mahate says. In order to have a successful business, you need to have a strong personal foundation."
The WBC is based on three simple areas of development: Learning, growing and balancing. WBC clients learn through business essential trainings that promote understanding of the business world, free consulting that supports business growth, including assistance with marketing and business plan writing and business loan information and guidance.
The clients' knowledge base grows through strength-building networking opportunities, signature leadership events such as the Athena Awards Luncheon and Women in Business Conference and referrals to community
resources. They learn to transform busy-ness into balance as they work, play, and live, and learn from progressive companies that promote workplace flexibility through the Salt Lake Chamber's Workplace Flexibility Initiative. The Center also facilitates the National Sloan Awards for Excellence in Workplace Flexibility program that recognizes exemplary companies providing workplace flexibility.
The WBC actively supports the community by reaching out to schools, community centers, and private groups. WBC Outreach invites and inspires women and girls of all ages to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams, to do what they love and to love what they do.
Funded in part through a grant by the U.S.Small Business Administration and community sponsors, the WBC is always looking for ways to insure its future in order to continue its services to entrepreneurs. "When you contribute to WBC, you make an investment not only in the success of local women in business, but in the success, economic growth, and strengthening of your community," Mahate says.
For sponsorship opportunities and contributions please contact Mahate 801 328-5066, or by email at email@example.com. While the WBCs focus is on women in business, entrepreneurial men are also welcome to receive services offered through the WBC. To request a WBC speaker, or for more information please contact the WBC.

ConcoXions LLC is a mobile bartending service providing specialty non-alcoholic beverages mixed with fruit juices, sodas and syrups with a variety of decorative fresh fruit garnishes and optional flair-bartending spectacle. Perfect for graduation and children's parties, baby showers, corporate luncheons and receptions. The idea for ConcoXions came about when former roommates Jenna Glover and Ann Marie Wallace began serving mixed drinks at a friend's housewarming party in 2006. The drinks were alcohol-free, yet colorfully decorative and very delicious. They have provided drink bar service at several subsequent parties and wedding receptions with a very positive guest response and their own personal enjoyment. The idea of starting their own bartending service was suggested, and with encouragement from friends, the plan to make a business of mixing alcohol-free specialty drinks is now a reality called concoXions LLC.

British producers Jez Colin and Matt Cooper of The Latin Project fuse together deep house, broken beat and hip hop with Afro polyrhythms and vocals on their second full-length, Musica De La Noche (out on June 23).
With brand new songs and a collection of remixes from A-List producers like Shawn Lee, Supreme Beings Of Leisure, Static Revenger and Morgan Page, Colin says, "some of our most dynamic work over the last few years has emerged from collaborations with other artists in our community such as Bebel Gilberto ("Aganju") and Incognito." Vocalists Freddie Crespo (erstwhile percussionist and vocalist for Tito Puente), Debi Nova (also heard performing with Sergio Mendez, Mark Ronson and Ricky Martin) and Guadelupian Joel Virgil still pop at the top of the mix with a few additions to the lineup.
The Latin Project's first album, Nueva Musica, rose to #1 on the Billboard dance chart, won the IDMA Award for Best Latin Dance Song and garnered a Grammy nomination for Best Remix Single.

Our friend and one of the hardest working men in hip-hop today released his People Hear What They See album. Drawing inspiration from sitting and observing outside environments, Oddisee endeavored to break the stereotypical emcee mold and write about things outside of his own personal reality.
You can't help but respect Oddisee's thoughtfulness and focus on creativity. And beyond subject matter, this album sees a refreshing evolution in the producer/emcee's sound, guiding the listener across brilliant tapestry of melodic hip-hop.
Above, the smooth toned Olivier Daysoul sits down with Oddisee for a soulful acoustic of "You Know Who You Are," a bonus track on the album.

Clearly, the driver of the car had no justification for honking their horn and not driving around the cyclists. But I have to wonder why the cyclists didn't pull off the road and let this crazy person have the entire lane. Yes, I realize they had every right to be on the road along with the cars, but being right isn't going to keep you out of the hospital when some crazy person decides to hit you with their car, instead of just honking the horn. Just concede the fact that the driver was possibly dangerous and give up ground. Why chance being hurt or killed just to make a point?

In the study, 120 women ages 40 to 55 followed either a yoga routine (including breathing and meditative exercises) or a stretching and strengthening program for an hour at a time, five days a week, for eight weeks. The women in the yoga group also listened to lectures on diet and managing stress from a yogic point of view while those in the workout group attended talks on diet, exercise, menopause and coping with stress.
The yogis ended up experiencing fewer hot flashes and mood problems than the exercisers. And while both groups of women improved on tests of attention and concentration, the yoga group fared better.
Yoga helps because it reduces stress, speculates Timothy McCall, MD, author of Yoga as Medicine. The ancient postures are known to kick-start the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for relaxation.
For possible relief from symptoms, the Yoga Alliance, an organization that maintains standards for yoga teachers, recommends these DVDs available on Amazon.com: Yoga for Stress Relief (with the Dalai Lama, buy it here) and Mayo Clinic Wellness Solutions for Menopause (buy it here).

Just got this email from Ember in downtown Orlando. Spread the word, the three drinks is a great deal ladies.
"Ladies receive THREE (3) complimentary drinks this Saturday night (7/10/10) after 10PM at Ember with this printed e-mail or by texting the word "Lady" to 407.694.6510. We do not keep you cell phone information, sell it, trade it or use it for any additional offers. Just show the text message you get back at the door and you'll receive the free drinks or you can simply print this e-mail and show it at the door. That's totally up to you."
It's a part of their new "Ladies Night After Dark" event happening every Saturday at 10 p.m. The other ladies nights specials include free admission, $2 drinks and $5 flavored Martinis.
But those three free drinks are where it's at so ladies start texting!

Turkey Talk #1: Why a duck? If you buy a duck (not via duct!) or other game bird (and Heritage Valley Organics had them last week at Caputo's, see above) to roast this year instead of the usual tired turkey, Bambara executive chef Nathan Powers will tell you what to do with it at his next cooking class. "Discover, Gather, Cook" is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 20 from 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. Sign up now. Reserve your spot now: 801-363-5454. A portion of the fee will go to Water fur Wildlife.
Caputo's Saturday mini-farmers-market features local food producers, organic poultry from Heritage Valley Organics (that's where I got my duck), exotic mushrooms from, and brand new Utah cheeses like the bloomy-rind sheep's milk made by Snowy Mountain Creamery in Eden, Utah. They call it "timid blue" and it comes off as a Kind of Blue (thank you Miles Davis) Brie-ish disc of creamy deliciousness.
Frida Bistro, Rico Brand and Rico Catering throw one of my best bashes of the year at the Rico Warehouse. Their Dia de los Muertos guest appreciation party celebrates my favorite holiday with great Mexican food, a cash bar and lots of skulls and bones. Plus, it's a do-gooder, each guest brings a bag of canned goods or donates $10 to the Utah Food Bank. Today at 5, but you have to RSVP with your email address to get on the list. The Dia de los Muertos party is on November 5 because of calendar weirdness, but it will be the similar to previous bashes, sugar skull painting for kids, an authentic ofrenda honoring those passed, authentic Mexican food and a cash bar run by Bacchus Bartending, plus, this year, an art exhibit honoring Frida Kahlo.
Tomorrow afternoon, after major tailgating revelry, I'll be headed south to judge a cooking competition. Never mind that it's part of an apparent Chicken Little expo (the Self-Reliant Expo, telling you what to do and how to survive when the sky falls), the Cali Natural Foods-sponsored cooking competition will feature Jen Gilroy from Meditrina (about to celebrate its second anniversary, btw), Jerry Liedtke from Tin Angel Cafe.
(here's one of my favorite pics of Jerry's angels, spouse Kestrel, partner Robin and the Liedtke kids) and Bobbie Henderson from Ginger's Cafe in Springville. (A place I haven't visited, so I'm especially curious.) Cali's is the natural foods store owned by Ian Brandt, natural foods guru of SLC, who owns Sage's Cafe and Vertical Diner, in case you didn't know.
This is a little different from most cooking contests I judge, the emphasis is on natural and local (75% of the ingredients will be supplied by Cali's Natural Foods), chefs are required to use Utah salt and 2 secret ingredients from Cali's in 3 tasting portions, and I love this part, dishes will be judged on taste, local food usage, presentation, complexity and food waste.
The action should get serious around 5 p.m. at South Towne Expo Center and besides me, SL Tribune food editor Kathy Stephenson and Libation owner Francis Fecteau will be judging. Should be fun.
Also tomorrow, but in the northerly direction, and earlier: Zucca Trattoria i is offering free tastings of nearly everything in their Italian-oriented deli—cheeses, chocolate, olive oil and salami. Stop by between 11 and 2.

Making Voting Easier: Convenience Voting in the 2008 Presidential Election
Submitted by gbain on Tue, 04/13/2010 - 08:52
Specific Elections:
Working Paper No.:
Date Published:
In this study we analyze the choice of voting mode in the 2008 presidential election. We use a large-sample survey with national coverage that allows us to overcome limitations of previous studies. Our analysis provides a number of insights into some of the important debates about convenience voting. Among other things, we find little support for the hypothesis that convenience voting methods have partisan implications; although we do find voter attributes that lead to the choice of some particular convenience voting mode. Results like these have important implications for future moves towards convenience voting and the design of new outreach campaigns.

Perils of the press: We have ADHD in the media and so do news consumers
Gallup shows immigration at top of issues list
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The trend spotters at Gallup have released their latest poll of what issues are of most concern to Americans. Immigration tops the list; 17 percent say it is our most important problem.
Given the amount of press attention devoted to the latest border troubles, this isn't a surprise. But given that only 5 percent of those polled in June named immigration as the top problem, it is a surprise – and probably an anomaly.
Here is what the issues food chain has looked like lately:
Immigration hasn't been a top of the charts issue since 2006. And as Gallup notes, "Each previous spike in mentions of immigration as the nation's top problem was fairly short-lived." Republicans are much more concerned than Democrats.
There are a couple of interesting trends in this polling.
Health care has declined from 16 percent in January to 8 percent now as a top problem. But the issue seems to still be super-charged in congressional campaigns. Will this ebb in the coming months? Is Obamacare less unhealthy to Democrats than once thought?
Dissatisfaction for Congress and political leadership is diminishing as a top of mind complaint. As usual, this probably bodes well for incumbents who somehow manage to hold on to their seats in election after election while confidence in government relentlessly plummets.
Despite a good deal of attention to dramatic crises in Iraq, the Middle East and the Ukraine, foreign issues didn't make a blip on the issue-o-meter.
Economic problems – unemployment, fiscal worries and general concerns – when totaled remain most important to about 40 percent of those polled.
The theme here seems to be that beyond economic worries, the issues poll is heavily influenced by what the press covers. And that can be fairly random.
With immigration now, people don't seem to have very entrenched or informed views. A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows Americans are unhappy with the way both D's and R's are handling the current immigration problem.
On one hand, 58 percent disapprove of how President Barack Obama is handling the situation. On the other hand, 53 percent support the request Obama made for $3.7 billion to handle the situation.
Translation: Americans disapprove of how Obama is handling the situation, and Americans approve of how Obama is handling the situation.
This is what you get, I suppose, when an issue bursts into the news cycle's ADHD attention span with saturation talking heads and politicians flocking to microphones like moths to light bulbs.

Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has called off negotiations with the Nurburgring, according to German publication Der Spiegel
The Nurburg circuit's current financial troubles are well publicized, but Ecclestone had been in talks with officials about possible ways the race could continue on its July race date.
"Following a detailed examination of the (Nurburgring's) proposal, we do not accept it as financially feasible and therefore end the negotiations," Der Spiegel quoted Ecclestone.
Normally the German Grand Prix is alternated between Nurburgring and Hockenheim, and the latter has been touted as a possible venue for the 2013 race, despite hosting it in 2012.
German news agency DPA and Der Spiegel both reported that no official comment was available yet from Nurbrugring officials.

There are as many ways to celebrate as there are different types of mothers, with flowers, cards and homemade keepsakes coming as obvious favorite gifts. Some moms may opt for a day of luxe pampering while others head outdoors for sporty fun. When in doubt, breakfast in bed always works.
Whether you're looking for a Mother's Day matinee, fun crafts for kids or even a special concert for Mom, Broward County Library has you covered. You can also visit the library for books, movies and more to make your Mom feel extra special this Sunday.

Flashback to the fall of 2007 and the ASU basketball program and where 2009-10 Pac-10 Coach of the Year Herb Sendek and his staff were in the building process of the ASU program.
ASU went 2-16 in the league the previous year (2006-07), including a 15-game losing streak. It was in the process of incorporating four freshmen, three of them that would start on a regular basis, into a league that would have seven first-round draft picks and 12 total players drafted (both were the most in league history). Those seven first-round picks were from five schools, meaning no one school was dominant. Seven teams had at least one player drafted, ASU was not one of them. The Sun Devil had freshmen make a league-leading and school-record 96 starts and did not have a senior play significant minutes. So really, how many wins could one expect in the next three years?
Stand up if you were one that expected 68 total wins, a school record 15 home wins in 2007-08, seven wins over teams ranked teams, three straight 20-win seasons for the first time since JFK was President, five straight wins against Arizona and six of seven overall including three straight in Tucson, a sweep of UCLA in 2008-09, a victory over its highest ranked opponent since 1998, the largest margin of victory every against a ranked team, two players drafted for the first time since 1983...yeah, you get the point. It was impressive.
Think about this..ASU posted three straight 20-win seasons in 2007-08 (21-13), 2008-09 (25-10) and 2009-10 (22-11). That had not happened since 1961-63. Prior to those three 20-win seasons, ASU had just three 20-win seasons in the previous 26 years.
Want more?
He already had his ACC success on his resume and now has a consensus first-team All-American and the third-overall pick in the NBA Draft to add to his checklist. And you can also add James Harden to the ASU Pac-10 Player of the Year list, as in the past 12 seasons the Sun Devils have had three earn the honor, more than any other program.
Arizona State (3): Eddie House (1999-2000); Ike Diogu (2004-05); James Harden (2009-10)
California (3): Sean Lampley (2000-01); Jerome Randle (2009-10); Jorge Gutierrez (2011-12)
UCLA (2): Arron Afflalo (2006-07); Kevin Love (2007-08)
And don't forget about the Weatherup Center, a basketball facility that was completed in just over a year. Coach Sendek has a diverse plan for a winning program that is constantly being updated with fresh ideas, evidenced by a perplexing zone defense he used for his first six season, an incredible ability to score directly off of inbounds plays and an alumni locker room in the new basketball facility to make sure former Sun Devils have a chance to compete with the current ones.
This is what the Sun Devil family had in mind when Arizona State began its search for a head basketball coach in the spring of 2006. The administration received plenty of suggestions from friends, donors, media, students, staff and fans on what it would take for the ASU program to become a consistent challenger in the Pac-10 and eventual Pac-12. Everyone had an opinion and a thought.
Get a proven winner...one segment of the population wanted an experienced head coach, someone with a proven track record in a major conference with NCAA Tournament wins. After all, there were 60 Division I coaching changes among 325 teams in the spring of 2006. A lot of shuffling. A lot of moving. A lot of resumes and fact-checking. ASU got a winner who notched his 300th career win in 2008-09. And for the first time in ASU history, the Sun Devils that season stayed in the Associated Press rankings from the first ranking in November to the last one in March.
Find someone with NCAA Tournament experience...ASU wants to be in postseason play. Find a coach who can show the Sun Devil administration and fans the path. ASU was "this" close in 2007-2008 with 19 wins during the regular season, including six over top-60 RPI teams, and then made the next step in 2008-2009 with its 25 wins, tied for second-most in school history. In 2009-10 it found itself on the bubble with 22 wins and a second-place Pac-10 finish. And don't forget that his preparation obviously pays off once his teams are in the dance, as he is 6-1 in NCAA Tournament first-round games.
Make sure he's a great recruiter. Get a veteran. Get someone young. Get someone hungry. No checkered past though. Needs to be a good family guy.
ASU found all that and more in Herb Sendek. He has proven to be a good recruiter, is a veteran in games coached (the UCLA victory in Tempe on Feb. 12, 2009, was his 500th on the sideline as main man in charge) and remains the fourth-youngest coach in the Pac-12.
Some other facts...
*Coach Sendek enters 2012-13 352-254 in 19 seasons as head coach at Miami (Ohio), North Carolina State and Arizona State, and has earned league Coach of the Year honors in the Mid-American (1994-95), Atlantic Coast (2003-04) and Pac-10 (2009-10). He has averaged 19.0 wins per year, but when you toss in some history it becomes more impressive. NC State averaged just 11.6 wins in the five years prior to his arrival, while Miami had averaged less than 15 wins in the six years before him. ASU's 21 wins in 2007-2008 was just its fourth 20-win season in the previous 27 years and he followed that up with 25 wins in 2008-09, tied for second-most in school history and the most since 1974-75. ASU registered its third straight 20-win season for the first time since 1961-63 with its 22 wins in 2009-10.
*His teams have been in postseason play 15 of his 19 seasons, including a streak of five straight NCAA Tournaments at NC State from 2002-2006. How does that compare in the Pac-12? Think about this...only three SCHOOLS can match that in the 33 seasons since ASU joined the loop in 1978-79. Three other schools made it three straight times, but the mini-streaks stopped at four.
*He was selected as one of the Top 10 recruiters in the nation in a Sports Illustrated poll as an assistant, and it rolled into a top-20 recruiting class that was unveiled in the fall of 2007. In 2007-08 and 2008-09 ASU had two McDonald's All-Americans on the roster, a first in Sun Devil history.
*He was one of only three coaches who had NBA first-round picks in both the 2005 and 2006 drafts and then followed that up with a first-round pick in 2009 (James Harden at No. 3) along with the first pick of the second round (Jeff Pendergraph).
*He has been on the coaching staff of two programs that reached the Final Four, as both Providence (1987) and Kentucky (1993) notched the feat.
*He is only 49 years old, fourth-youngest in the Pac-10, yet as stated earlier, has coached in 606 games, third-most in the Pac-10.
*He quickly identified the needs of the Sun Devil program and helped land significant donations towards the practice facility, which was completed in May of 2009.
*Of the 60 coaching changes in 2005-2006, only four coaches had more D-I wins than ASU's new man in charge. Want some more stability numbers? Only three of the 14 major conference hires that year remain.

*And, most importantly, he is still "hungry" which was evident in his first year when despite losing the top returning scorers from the previous summer in late July, he figured out a way to keep a young team that played three freshmen incredible amounts of minutes close in every game despite a string of agonizing close losses. In the final nine games of the regular season, ASU was outscored by just 22 points, and 14 of its final 15 games were decided by six points or less. All that worked one year later, when ASU went 4-0 in overtime games in 2007-08 won several close games throughout the year. ASU then showed some grit in 2008-09 with back-to-back one-point wins (a first in school history) and was 5-4 when trailing at the half after going 10-29 the first two years. And all those close losses in the first year, when ASU was 4-17 in games of 10 points or less? ASU was 27-18 (.600) the next three seasons.
Coach Sendek took the ASU post at a time when he was ready for a new challenge. He had successfully rebuilt NC State after the program had suffered five straight losing seasons. In 10 seasons, he took the Wolfpack to nine tournaments, including the NCAA tourney his final five years. In those five seasons (2002-2006), only Duke had more ACC wins.
But through his 18-year head-coaching career, one that started at just 30 years young, the number the ASU fan started to comprehend and understand that is most important to the success of the Sun Devil program is very small.
As in one heartbeat.
As in five players working as one on the court.
As in a community, university, student section, alumni, band...if it is part of the program, you are on the team...becoming one and working towards the goal of having a program that has the opportunity to succeed at the highest level on the court, in the classroom and in the community.
He took over a mid-major team in 1993-94 at the age of 30 and promptly led Miami (Ohio) to a 63-26 (.708) mark, including its first NCAA victory since 1978 with the upset of No. 15 and fifth-seeded Arizona 71-62.
Next stop was Tobacco Road, home of some of college basketball's top traditions. A rebuilding project was in order, as the 1974 and 1983 national champion NC State Wolfpack had five consecutive losing seasons. One decade later, NC State made five straight NCAA Tournaments, one of just 15 schools to do so in that time. Simply stated, after taking over a program that had not been to the postseason in six years, he led NC State to postseason appearances in nine of ten seasons.
So what is next?
Arizona State followers are intrigued and excited to find out after getting a taste of his system, attitude and no-excuses drive that existed in year one, and then getting ASU to the NCAA bubble despite in 2007-2008 being picked for ninth as it engineered several big wins, including a sweep of rival Arizona and wins over No. 17 Xavier and seventh-ranked Stanford. The 2008-09 season became a list of "first time since" as the program took off. In 2009-10, many folks predicted doomday, including The Sporting News that pegged ASU tenth. Not so fast as the Sun Devils finished second, its best loop finish since 1980-81.
His staff has tweaked and redesigned his signature offense (which produced the third-highest scoring team in the ACC in 2005-2006 during conference play) to work with two powerful offensive NBA-ready weapons and then changed the offense completely after the first week of the Pac-10 season in 2009-10. His trademark, well-prepared defense that was man-to-man through his career changed in his first season when he went zone and gave up the fewest points by a Sun Devil team in more than 40 seasons. His team followed that up the past four years giving up almost the same average.
His staff has shown the ability to adapt at both ends of the floor, noted by his teams leading the ACC in scoring defense four times and holding opponent's to an ACC record 54.7 points per game in 1996-97. Yet in his final year, its 75.8 points per game mark in the ACC would translate into a second-place offensive ranking among Pac-10 teams that year behind only Washington.
The Sun Devil family is excited by the youth of the new coach, who is just 48 years old, knowing he is a relentless worker who spends time in airports with his magnetic white board drawing up plays that got Jeff Pendergraph open looks off the inbounds play under the hoop that helped him lead the nation in field goal percentage, then helped Eric Boateng lead the Pac-10 in the same category in 2009-10.
From 2,227 miles away, ASU got its man in Herb Sendek.
The Pittsburgh native has won 352 games in 19 seasons and has been a part of a Final Four coaching staff at two schools with major basketball traditions. He was named the 13th men's basketball coach at Arizona State on April 3, 2006.
A 1985 graduate of Carnegie-Mellon (Pa.), Coach Sendek is 342-233 (.595) in his 18 seasons as a head coach and was 191-132 (.591) at North Carolina State in 10 seasons. He earned Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year in 2003-04 and has taken 15 teams to the postseason. While competing in one of the nation's most intense conferences, he posted five 20-win seasons, including his final three. He also was named the Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year in 1994-95. So yes, that is perfect in three coaching jobs on getting a Coach of the Year Award when you add the 2009-10 Pac-10 hardware.
Yet some folks, when ASU made the hire, couldn't quite grasp all the facts. One national recruiting service, when talking about the hire, said ASU did a great job because it took into account all the wins, years as head coach and NCAA appearances but questioned the "youth" of Sendek when it mentioned three other Pac-10 coaches who were "young coaches that might have more upside."
One small problem.
No one checked his birthdate of February 22, 1963.
He was younger than two of the three coaches mentioned. And none of those coaches mentioned are in the Pac-10 any longer, so the upside wasn't really up at all.
No worries, that all was taken care of as the league became familiar with not only the coach, but the man and his background. Like how his team went to the Sweet 16 in 2004, but more importantly, how all five starters earned their degrees. He lets his players take the credit and the accolades. He has a meticulous eye for detail from the commas in a story to the heights of his players. Just ask the NBA folks out there, who gave a thumbs up for having James Harden and Jeff Pendergraph with proper heights and weights all season long so when it came time for the combines there were no question marks.
Just imagine what that is like in the video room or on the recruiting trail. The best out-of-bounds play on the planet probably is in his travel bag. So was the blueprint for the now-completed practice facility, academic plan, honoring former players, etc.
No detail is too small and nothing gets overlooked. While always looking to the future, he understands the importance of pausing to reflect and honor the past. His office walls at NC State were lined with photos of former Wolfpack coaches who helped build the foundation. He will want to honor "jerseys" and have them hang in the rafters. Joe Caldwell, Byron Scott and Lionel Hollins became the first Sun Devil to have their numbers honored this year, and it was a plan hatched by Coach Sendek.
How did he get this way? Where did he learn all this? When it is in your blood, some of it is simply hereditary.
As the son of a coach, Sendek constantly tagged along with Herb, a teacher and coach at both the high school and junior college levels. His dad always made time for him, no meeting was too important or no practice was too stressful to take the little one along.
Grab the apple and peanut butter sandwich and the Sendek duo was off to practice.
Shoot free throws on the side. Dribble between the legs.
Figure Eights. Butterfly drill.
Keep statistics. Collect the basketballs.

The younger Herb became a solid guard and team captain at Penn Hills High School, earning All-East Suburban honors. And he practiced then what he preaches now, as he posted a 4.0 grade-point average. Growing up in that area, he developed the "work hard now, results come later" philosophy of the steel workers and coal miners with the tough hands and sack lunches. Western Pennsylvania understands that, as he is a member of the Penn Hills Hall of Fame, the East Boros Chapter of the Pennsylvania Hall of Fame, the Five-Star Basketball Camp Hall of Fame and the Western Pennsylvania Chapter of the Pennsylvania Hall of Fame. From there, he opted to attend Carnegie-Mellon University, earning a prestigious Carnegie Merit Scholarship and the opportunity to play for coach Dave Maloney.
One week into practice prior to his senior season, his playing career ended unexpectedly when a new coach cut him and two other players were recruited by Maloney. What seemed like a disastrous event for the future coach, however, turned out to have a silver lining. Chuck Crummie, the head coach at Central Catholic High School in Pittsburgh, gave Sendek the opportunity to serve as a volunteer assistant coach.
After graduating from Carnegie-Mellon with a 3.95 GPA in 1985, he launched his coaching career. He joined Rick Pitino's staff at Providence College that fall, serving as an assistant coach with the Friars until 1989, and working on a Final Four staff in 1987 that coached Billy Donovan. He was now part of one of the biggest and best coaching fraternities in the game. The upbringing and lessons taught from those days of being on the same staff with the likes of Jeff Van Gundy, Stu Jackson, Billy Donovan, Tubby Smith and Gordon Chiseas helped him become one of the best coaches in the nation, not only on the court but in every facet of a player's life.
His favorite sports moments are the Immaculate Reception and watching his dad's team play in the National Junior College Athletic Association. Anyone can appreciate a person who remembers the local sports history of where they grew up and who taught them how to play the game at such a young age.
On the court, Coach Sendek has built an impressive list of solid seasons, especially in his final five seasons at NC State. Not bad for a guy who when hired on April 17, 1996, at one of the most high-profile jobs in one of the most high-profile conferences, was the youngest coach in the ACC at just 33.
His final Wolfpack squad went 22-10 (his third straight 20-win season), and topped Pac-10 foe California in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Great numbers, but think about this...none of NC State's returning players averaged more than 10.0 points per game the prior season. The returning starters averaged 27.2 points the previous year. In one summer, Cedric Simmons went from 3.5 points per game and 1.8 rebounds per game to a NBA first-round pick.
That can make a potential recruit interested pretty fast.
His 2004-05 squad advanced to the regional semifinal led by Julius Hodge and beat defending NCAA champion and 13th-ranked UCONN in the second round, which gave Sendek's staff another win over a recent national champion.
In 2003-04, the Wolfpack won 11 regular-season league games for the first time since 1974, including five on the road. NC State was in the top-20 for the final six weeks and defeated five ranked teams, including top-ranked Duke. Sendek was named the ACC's Coach of the Year and was the NABC District 5 Coach of the Year. The Duke win marked his second over the top-ranked team in the nation.
Two wins over the nation's top-ranked team. Is that something that happens often?
The answer is no. As a matter of fact, five Pac-10 schools have topped the number one team in the nation. ASU has done it once. That is over the history of the program. Sendek did it twice in seven years. In 2002-03, Sendek took his sixth Wolfpack squad to postseason play and became just the seventh coach in the storied history of the ACC to take three of his first seven teams to the ACC Tournament championship. He tacked on a little bit of ACC history as well. His team became the first team to knock off the No. 1 seed in the ACC Tournament in consecutive years with the win over ninth-ranked Wake Forest.
The 2002 season may have been Sendek's most challenging, yet most rewarding. He took a team with just two seniors and five freshmen and won 23 games (nine in the ACC) for the first time in over a decade. The Pack posted a third-place ACC finish (after being picked seventh) and advanced to the ACC Tournament finals and the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Sendek won his 100th game at NC State in 2002, was the NABC District 5 Coach of the Year and a finalist for the Naismith Coach of the Year Award. The Sporting News selected him as the ACC Coach of the Year.
Injuries were a big factor in the Wolfpack's fortunes in 2000-01, but the season was highlighted by a victory over sixth-ranked Virginia, the fourth over a top-10 team by a Wolfpack squad under Sendek. The four seniors from that 2001 squad -- Kenny Inge, Damon Thornton, Ron Kelley and Cornelius Williams -- all graduated.
In 1999-2000, NC State began the year 15-3 before injuries to its top two reserves took their toll. Still, the Pack was able to finish the season strong with its first 20-win season since 1990-91, and advanced to the ACC Tournament semifinals for the third time in four seasons. NC State made its fourth straight trip to the postseason (and his seventh postseason appearance in seven years as a head coach), advancing to the NIT semifinals in New York, and beat Eddie House-led Arizona State twice in Raleigh.
The Wolfpack continued its climb in 1998-99, finishing the year with a 19-14 mark. NC State also finished fifth in the tightly contested ACC and advanced to the postseason for the third straight season. Coach Sendek joined Everett Case as the only coaches in school history to lead each of their first three teams to the postseason.
In 1997-98, NC State made its second-straight postseason appearance despite battling injuries throughout the year. Reduced to eight healthy players at one point, the Pack rallied together to defeat No. 1 North Carolina in Chapel Hill and once again advanced to the second round of the NIT.
In his first season (1996-97), the Pack won 17 games, the program's first winning record in six years, advanced to the championship of the ACC Tournament and earned a NIT berth, its first postseason appearance since 1991. The Wolfpack won eight of their final 11 games. The improbable ACC run had college basketball fans around the nation buzzing about the progress and potential of the Wolfpack. Sendek's team relied on just six players throughout the tournament, but pulled off upsets of top-seeded Duke (66-60), fifth-ranked Maryland (65-58) but fell to North Carolina.
Not bad for a guy who got started as a graduate assistant for Coach Rick Pitino less than two decades before at Providence. Eventually that position at Providence led to another job at one of the nation's top basketball schools.
He rejoined Coach Pitino, who has had numerous former assistant coaches advance to the head coaching ranks, in 1989 at the University of Kentucky. He served as an assistant (1989-91) and then associate head coach (1991-93) for the Wildcats, earning a national reputation as a standout recruiter. Sports Illustrated named him one of the nation's top 10 recruiters in its 1992-93 College Basketball Preview.
His best recruit in his history was at Lexington as he met his wife, the former Melanie Scheuer of Danville, Ky., in Lexington and the couple married nearly two years later and has three daughters, Kristin (18), Catherine (15) and Kelly (13).
After eight years as an assistant, including Final Four appearances in 1987 with Providence and 1993 with Kentucky, 30-year old Herb Sendek took over the Oxford-based program at Miami (Ohio). There, in his first venture as a head coach, he led the Redskins to three consecutive postseason appearances and the 1995 Mid-American Conference regular-season championship. His three-year record at Miami was 63-26, giving him the highest winning percentage (.708) in school history.
And through all this, he has been a mentor to many. Eight of his former assistants are currently Division I coaches. Many of his former players remain close and have great things to say. Many of the players he worked with are also coaches. As a matter of fact, one of them had nothing but great things to say in early April of 2006 during Final Four weekend.
It always helps to have a two-time national champion in your corner.
"Herb is awesome," says Billy Donovan. "I hope Arizona State understands what just happened."
Not only does it understand what happened, it is excited to see what will happen.
PAC-10 VICTORIES OVER AP NO. 1:Twice Herb Sendek's NC State teams have topped the nation's top-ranked team in the Associated Press poll. On Feb. 21, 1998, NC State topped North Carolina in Chapel Hill 86-72. On Feb. 15, 2004, NC State topped Duke 78-74 in Raleigh. Beating the No. 1 team within six seasons is not something that happens all the time. ASU has beaten the top-ranked team once in its history (1981), while Pac-10 schools USC, Washington, Oregon, Oregon State, California also have topped the number one team twice -- in each school's history. Sendek has beaten the top team in the nation more recently than nine of the Pac-12 schools with his February of 2004 victory over Duke in Raleigh.

Career Academy accepting applications for next school year
Published: Friday, March 15, 2013 at 4:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 15, 2013 at 3:42 p.m.
The Yadkin Valley Regional Career Academy is accepting applications for the 2013-14 academic year for rising ninth-graders.
A meeting will take place at 6 p.m. Monday for interested students and parents at the school, located at 2065 E. Holly Grove Road. Staff will be available to answer questions. During the past few weeks, school officials have been visiting different schools in the county to talk with community members.
The academy opened this school year with more than 50 freshmen from all three school systems in the county. The core values of the school focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics, entrepreneurship/intrapreneruship and 21st century work skills — teamwork, communications, critical thinking, problem solving and creativity. There is also an opportunity that integrates a rigorous core curriculum with relevant work and community experiences and innovative uses of technology that prepares students for careers and post-secondary education to support the economic needs of the Piedmont Triad region.
The school is also selecting a small number of rising 10th-graders due to possible vacancies.
Applications must be completed and returned to the interested student's home middle school counselor by Wednesday. The school is targeting nearly 80 eighth-graders for next school year.
For more information about the school, go to www.valleycareeracademy.com, www.facebook.com/YVRCA or call 242-5820.

The Peavey PV215 PA Enclosure seems almost too good to be true but it is the real deal!
The Peavey PV215 is a 2x15-inch, full-range, passive, 2-way PA speaker cabinet, which handles 700 Watts of power (program, 1,400W peak), with a wide frequency range, all for a nearly unheard-of price. Its typically rugged Peavey durability includes 3/4-inch MDF construction, metal handles, a full metal (not plastic!) grille, heavy duty carpet and Peavey's Sound Guard III HF driver protection network. Its components consist of two heavy duty 15-inch woofers and the Peavey RX14 1-inch compression driver on a large format horn for smooth vocal performance. Peavey has seriously raised the bar in value-priced, high-performance PA speakers with the new PV215.
The PV215 has two 1/4-inch inputs so it's ideal for chaining a pair (or more) of them together, to run from the same amp (refer to amplifier impedance capabilities).

The Buddy System
Nestled in the Rogue River Valley near the foothills of the Cascade Mountains in southwestern Oregon, Shady Cove is home to fewer than 3,000 people and covers just six square miles. But Public Works Director George Bostic's need for financial assistance is no less important than those of his peers in the nation's largest cities. Adept at identifying potential partners that strengthened funding requests, he successfully lobbied for $2 million in grants from a variety of state agencies to help pay for a major wastewater treatment plant upgrade that included a 50-foot-wide clarifier, tripling the plant's capacity. Photos: Michael Fielding
Above: A coarse screen filter, installed in 1980 and filtering less than 5% of the larger debris at the Shady Cove, Ore., wastewater treatment plant, was replaced with a $120,00 Raptor fine screen filter in 2003. The new filter, purchased with some of the $2 million grant money awarded to Shady Cove, now filters up to 90% of large debris.
Left: His work funded in part by state grants, DuPont contractor Kurt Spingath helped Baker County, Ore., set up plots of the noxious weed medusahead to evaluate the efficacy of a new product that the company was testing. The ATV—outfitted to kill weeds by County Weed Supervisor Arnie Grammon—is one of Grammon's creative ways to get the work done during lean financial times. Most of the area in eastern Baker County is infested with medusahead.
If George Bostic's Microsoft Outlook contacts folder were a Rolodex, it would be a sorry sight—hundreds of dog-eared business cards stuffed into a tiny plastic holder three sizes too small. Fortunately, it's all at his fingertips with names and numbers and e-mail addresses he has collected during his 20-year tenure in the public works sector.
Although approaching retirement, the public works director of tiny Shady Cove, Ore., still relies on those contacts. In 1994—one year after joining the town's staff as its only full-time public works employee—he solicited the opinions of more than half a dozen other public works managers throughout the region to get advice on how to finance a $6 million waste-water treatment plant upgrade.
Bostic got lucky. After hearing about similar funding dilemmas in nearby cities, he learned about a "one-stop" meeting at the state capital at which three state funding agencies would be represented. All he had to do was show up, present the plan, and ask what the agencies had to offer.
"I asked them, 'How much are we going to have to increase our sewer rates to pay for this?'" he says. "We were behind the eight ball. The plant and system were failing. They were built in the 1980s with little inspection." He successfully lobbied for $2 million in grants for the project, which took nearly a dozen years to complete.
His department received a $750,000 block grant from the Oregon Economic Community Development Department (OECDD), which was matched by the city with in-kind services in the form of labor and equipment from public works staff as well as administrative oversight by Bostic. The department also received a $960,000 loan/grant combination from another OECDD funding source, the Water/Wastewater Program; a $980,000 loan from the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality; and a $2.36 million loan and $1 million grant from the USDA for waste-water projects.
Unfortunately, funding doesn't come so easily for Arnie Grammon.
The weed supervisor for Oregon's Baker County, located near the Idaho border, is a self-taught grant writer out of necessity.
Without a dedicated grant writer on staff, he spends about 40% of his time on the job researching and writing grant proposals. "It's your only option if you're going to stay afloat," says Grammon, who admits that going solo throughout the grant process can be overwhelming.
Still, he successfully lobbied for $220,000 last year from a host of grantors, including the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Oregon Department of Agriculture. He spent most of it on treating invasive weeds with herbicides and reseeding, and the rest (about $30,000) on surveying noxious weeds in the mountainous Hell's Canyon area of the Snake River and adding that information to the county's existing geodatabase.
Bostic and Grammon prove that even the leanest departments can tap into grant money if they know where to look and who to talk to.

The best barrel extension is going to be some 4130 dom tubing from a special metal supplier like wicks or spruce aircraft ect. You can pick a size thats the same or close to the outside of the muzzle of your barrel and an inside diameter that is over your bore diameter. Drill out the last inch of the tubing and turn the last inch of the barrel down for a light press fit, then weld it on. Here's a suomi barrel I lenghtened.
How much does that usally cost Moleman. Looks like a cool Idea
1' of the tubing is about $6 depending on what size you go with. I went with 3/4"x .156" wall which gave me a .437" id for my suomi builds. That way the bullet has plenty of wiggle room to get out of the barrel without touching the extension.
there is a guy in n.c. that makes new barrels i think.

Every drop counts
Siteserv knew the importance of acting quickly. When the recycling rates collapsed they had already made steps to strengthen their position for when the markets start moving again. "If you can't measure it, you can't manage it – it's all about the detail.
The information available through Dynafleet and the pro-activity of our management team enabled us to present a valid business case
for Volvo Financial Services to consider re-structuring our existing Hire Purchase arrangements.
Volvo Financial Services understood our situation and were able to demonstrate flexibility and accommodate the request. Now, we have a revised funding package, that not only helps the business work within its projected forecasts, but also protects our cash flow - we couldn't ask for more."

This unit draws on contemporary knowledge of diversity of student learning needs and the teaching and learning of new and traditional literacies. In contemporary classrooms, diversity is increasingly appreciated in terms of the funds of knowledge students bring to learning and the desirability of student voice. In the contemporary communications environment, the nature of texts and meaning-making is being altered by new technologies requiring expanded definitions of literacy.Through the use of core and elective materials, this unit involves participants in investigating ways in which teachers can engage the diverse students they work with in developing new and traditional literacies. Core materials engage participants with current debates, issues in the field, teaching strategies and resources and emphasise the importance of drawing on students' strengths and funds of knowledge, empowering them through a range of literate practices. Through engagement with elective materials, participants select an area of specialisation and employ research skills to self-source materials related to their selected area. They may focus on developing ways of engaging and teaching literacies to students with particular educational needs or choose to investigate a literacies related issue. Within the selected specialisation, participants research, develop, implement and reflect on a school-based application of their learning.
1. Critical reflection essay 50%. Critical reflection essay on research readings on a negotiated topic (2500 words)
