Classical WQED-FM 89.3 has been ranked the fourth most listened-to noncommercial classical radio station in the country by market share.
Station also averaging a younger listening audience
PITTSBURGH – Classical WQED-FM 89.3 has been ranked the fourth most listened-to noncommercial classical radio station in the country by market share.* The rankings are from the December 2010 report from Arbitron, which measures station audiences around the country.
In December 2010, WQED-FM 89.3 ranked fourth nationwide, leaping from a 1.4 share in November, to a 2.1 share of all radio listening in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is the 25th largest radio market in the country.
WQED-FM 89.3 shares top tier ranking with prestigious public radio stations in major markets, including: WETA/Washington DC (Market #9), which recently gained audience when commercial classical WGMS changed format; KQAC/Portland, Oregon (Market #23); and KUSC/Los Angeles (Market #2), which recently gained audience when commercial classical KMZT changed format. WQED-FM 89.3 tied with two other noncommercial stations for the fourth highest ranking: WCRB/Boston (Market #10); and KVOD/Denver (Market #20).
"This ranking is a testament to the devotion that the local classical music audience has for WQED-FM," said Deborah L. Acklin, President and Chief Executive Officer of WQED Multimedia.
"With a lineup of hosts and talent who celebrate local music, arts and culture, WQED-FM is an indispensable part of life for thousands in our community. From live broadcasts to exposure for small arts organizations, WQED-FM fills a critical need that raises the quality of life in our region."
"A strong WQED helps make a strong arts community," added Susan Johnson, Executive Director of WQED-FM 89.3. "Increased classical listening means increased music education and appreciation. And it's a strong business indicator that WQED-FM has tightened its belt, met annual fundraising goals with fewer on-air pledge days in a recession, and outperformed bigger stations with bigger budgets in bigger markets."
Classical WQED-FM 89.3 paced ahead of leading stations in larger cities including WNYC/New York and WFMT/Chicago; as well as stations in the sun belt senior destination markets of Miami and Phoenix; and KSJN/Minneapolis, which played 24/7 Christmas music beginning December 1.
WQED-FM 89.3's audience is also gaining younger listeners. A six-month average shows about three quarters of weekly listeners are under 65, about 54% are between 35 and 64, and 20 to 25% are under 35.*
* Produced by Radio Research Consortium from copyrighted Arbitron data, Pittsburgh Metro, July - December 2010, Mon-Sun, 6a-12m, weekly persons 6+ and average quarter hour shares
WQED Pittsburgh, honored with the 2007 and 2006 Mid-Atlantic Emmy® Award for Station Excellence, was founded in 1954 as the nation's first community-supported broadcaster. The people of WQED create, produce and distribute quality programs, products and services to engage, inform, educate and entertain the public within their community and around the world. WQED Pittsburgh is one of the first broadcasters in the country to be fully high-definition (HD) in its studio and field production capabilities.

Journal Sentinel sportswriter Gary D'Amato, who is covering his eighth Olympic Games, offers observations from beyond the playing fields in London.
U.S. beats Spain, 107-100, in gold medal thriller
London -- The United States, trailing by one point midway through the third quarter, pulled out a 107-100 victory over Spain to win the gold medal in a tense men's basketball final at the North Greenwich Arena.
The game was physical throughout, with unsportsmanlike fouls called on both teams. Players had to be separated on several occasions.
The victory gave the U.S. its 14th gold medal in 17 Olympic appearances and improved its overall record in the Games to 130-5. Spain's last victory over the U.S. came in the 2002 World Championships.
The U.S. led, 59-58, at halftime but Pau Gasol scored 13 points in the first 5 minutes of the third quarter and his three-point play with 5:02 left gave Spain its last lead at 71-70. Kobe Bryant hit a three-pointer on the Americans' next possession and they never trailed again, though the score was tied one more time at 80-80. (1)
Phelps plans his next athletic conquest: golf
London -- Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian in history with 22 swimming medals, already has plans for the next stage of his career.
Phelps plans to play the world's greatest golf courses and improve his golf game under Tiger Woods' former swing coach, Hank Haney. The Haney Project on Golf Channel will chronicle Phelps' attempts to improve his game when the series returns for a fifth season in February, 2013.
"I have traveled the world through swimming, but really haven't had an opportunity to experience the world through my travels," Phelps said in a Golf Channel news release. "As I enter this next chapter of my life, I think I will be able to shift my competitiveness to anything I put my mind to and golf is one of the things I want to focus on. »Read Full Blog Post
U.S. wins fifth consecutive gold in women's basketball
London -- The United States used a 19-0 run in the third quarter to pull away from France and went on to an 86-50 victory in the women's basketball final at the North Greenwich Arena on Saturday.
The Americans have won an unprecedented five consecutive gold medals. Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi and Tamika Catchings now have won gold three times.
France trailed, 43-32, when the U.S. scored 19 consecutive points over a 5-minute stretch. After that, the only question was how big the winning margin would be.
The final was uncharted territory for France, which celebrated on court for almost 15 minutes after an 81-64 semifinal victory over Russia.
U.S. women set world record in 4 x 100 relay
London -- U.S. anchor Carmelita Jeter pointed at the clock with her baton just before crossing the finish line in the women's 4 x 100 relay final at the Olympic Stadium on Friday night.
Jeter was pointing at a world record time. The team of Tianna Madison, Allyson Felix, Bianca Knight and Jeter ran the relay in 40.82 seconds, shattering the previous record of 41.37 set in 1985 by East Germany.
The Americans easily won the gold medal. Jamaica won the silver in 41.41 and Ukraine took the bronze in 42.04.
U.S. beats Japan, 2-1, wins soccer gold
London -- In a game that lived up to the hype, the U.S. women's soccer team beat Japan, 2-1, to win the gold medal at Wembley Stadium on Thursday.
Before 80,203 fans, the largest crowd to watch a women's soccer match at the Olympics, midfielder Carli Lloyd scored both goals to lift the Americans to their third consecutive gold medal and their fourth since women's soccer made its Olympic debut in Atlanta in 1996.
The U.S. led, 2-0, when Yuki Ogimi scored midway through the second half. Japan put pressure on the Americans throughout, but Hope Solo was outstanding in goal. (8)
USA vs. Japan: Pre-game notes, quotes
London -- Several thousand fans are in their seats at Wembley Stadium, 75 minutes before the start of the gold-medal women's soccer match between the United States and Japan.
The stadium holds 83,000 and this game probably will break the Olympic attendance record for women's soccer (76,481 at the Atlanta Games in '96).
Yuki Ogimi of Japan can complete a rare triple with an Olympic gold medal. Last year, she helped lift her team to the World Cup title and led her German club, Turbine Potsdam, to the European Champions League title. »Read Full Blog Post
May-Treanor / Walsh win 3rd gold; unhurt when platform collapses
London -- Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh won their third consecutive Olympic gold medal in women's beach volleyball, beating April Ross and Jennifer Kessy, 2-0 (21-16, 21-16), in an all-USA final at the Horse Guards Parade on Wednesday.
About 45 minutes after the match, we were interviewing May-Treanor and Walsh in the mixed zone beneath the temporary, purpose-built stadium when two wooden platforms collapsed. About 15 members of the media (including me) fell 3 to 4 feet to the ground below. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
Walsh and May-Treanor jumped backward in horror but never lost their footing. Volunteers quickly ushered them out of the area. (3)
U.S., Japan: It's all about the soccer
London -- Members of Japan's women's soccer team were gathering for a photo op after a news conference Wednesday afternoon just as members of the United States team walked into the room at the main media center.
At the urging of photographers, the team members and their coaches posed alternately with arms around each other (Japan-U.S.-Japan-U.S., etc.).
The gesture symbolized the respect the teams have for each other. They will meet for the gold medal at Wembley Stadium on Thursday. »Read Full Blog Post
For cabbies, London 'dead as a dodo'
London -- Caught a couple of cab rides today, first to NBA House in central London to interview Dwyane Wade and then to Russell Square to catch a bus for the main press center.
I asked one cabbie if he was having a profitable couple weeks and he said, "Not at all. London is as dead as a dodo." He said August was a slow month, anyway, and he suspected many Londoners who work in the city had gone on vacation to avoid the Olympic hassle.
He gestured to the shops around Covent Garden and said, "Normally, this place is packed with people. There's nobody here. The schools are shut."
Maybe that's why he was especially grateful when I gave him a one-pound tip ...
Spain vs. Brazil revisited
London -- If Spain didn't try its hardest to beat Brazil in a preliminary round game in men's basketball at the Olympic Games on Monday night, it wouldn't be all that shocking.
The object at the Olympics is to win a medal. That's what NOCs want, it's what fans want and it's what the players want. The Spaniards knew their best chance to win a medal was to avoid facing the United States until the final.
Maybe it was just a coincidence that they were outscored by Brazil, 31-16, in the fourth quarter, lost the game, 88-82, and dropped into the bracket opposite the U.S. for the quarterfinals. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
'No fly-tipping' ... and other cultural lessons
London -- This morning, I hitched a ride from my hotel to Russell Square, the site of the media bus hub (where buses depart for the main press center and the competition venues). It's about a 20-minute walk, so catching a ride from the car service is helpful.
You may have read my earlier post on this subject. Since then, however, I've learned that the service is only for media members staying at the Holiday Inn, which is across the street from my hotel, the Travelodge Farringdon.
One of the drivers, though, always waves me into his car if he sees me walking past, laptop bag in tow. He knows I'm not staying at the Holiday Inn. He's a great guy, except I always have to argue with him to accept a one-pound tip (about $1.75). I try to hand him the coin and he says, "Next time." I say, "This time," and on and on it goes until he reluctantly accepts. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

UW runner fails to advance in women's 400 hurdles

Staisiunaite said nerves contributed to her off day. »Read Full Blog Post
Wisconsin wrestler Provisor eliminated in Greco-Roman
London -- Greco-Roman wrestler Ben Provisor of Stevens Point, Wis., won his first match at the ExCeL Arena but then was eliminated from the 74-kilogram class at the Olympic Games on Sunday.
Provisor bounced back from a first-period takedown to beat Alexei Bel of Cuba, 0-3, 1-0, 1-0.
Then he lost to Zurabi Datunashvili of Georgia, 1-0, 6-0. Provisor retired after suffering an elbow injury in a scramble near the end of the second period. »Read Full Blog Post

Olympic wrestler Ben Provisor drew the No. 17 spot and will face Alexi Bel of Cuba in the opening round of the Greco-Roman 74-kilogram weight class at the ExCeL Arena on Sunday.
Provisor is a graduate of Stevens Point Area High School.

Jorgensen's day ruined by flat tire; she finishes 38th in triathlon
London -- A flat tire during the bike leg ended Gwen Jorgensen's chance for a good finish in the women's triathlon at the Olympic Games on Saturday.
Jorgensen, 26, of Milwaukee, lost precious time changing the flat and couldn't recover. She finished 38th in 2 hours 6 minutes 34 seconds and was 6:46 behind gold medalist Nicola Spirig of Switzerland.
Spirig leaned at the tape to beat Lisa Norden of Sweden by inches. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
McPhail's misstep at opening ceremony
London -- Michael McPhail of Darlington, Wis., is a staff sergeant in the U.S. Army, so he knows how to march.
Marching in formation is one thing. Marching with hundreds of other U.S. athletes into Olympic Stadium for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is quite another.
After he barely missed qualifying for the men's 50-meter prone rifle shooting competition Friday, McPhail recounted how he accidentally de-shoed a U.S. female athlete -- he didn't know which one -- at the opening ceremony a week earlier. »Read Full Blog Post
Jager advances in steeple; McPhail just misses in 50m rifle
London -- Evan Jager, a former runner at the University of Wisconsin, breezed to a second-place finish in his 3,000-meter steeplechase heat to advance to the final at Olympic Stadium.
Jager, 23, pushed to the front in his 13-runner heat with 800 meters to go and held the lead until the home stretch. Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad of France passed him to win the heat in 8 minutes 16.23 seconds. Jager was timed in 8:16.61.
The top four finishers in each of three heats advanced to the final Monday night. »Read Full Blog Post(2)

A horse slaughtering facility could soon become a reality in Oklahoma.
The State Farm Bureau is backing plans to bring one to the state after the Legislature passed bills designed to end a 50-year ban on horse slaughtering. They will host an event at the state Capitol next week to show support for the legislation.
However, animal rights groups are staunchly opposed to the move, calling it inhumane.

Grand Theft Auto is now a museum piece
Makes a best of British design show
PULL PEOPLE OUT OF CARS AND STEAL THEM console game Grand Theft Auto (GTA) has made its way into the Victoria and Albert (V&A) museum in London.
It hasn't crashed through a window while outrunning the cops, but is part of an exhibition called British Design 1948-2012: Innovation in the Modern Age.
"The V&A's exhibition celebrates the best of British post-war art and design from the 1948 'Austerity Games' to the summer of 2012," says the V&A museum.
"Over 300 British design objects highlight significant moments in the history of British design and how the country continues to nurture artistic talent and be a world leader in creativity and design."
Grand Theft Auto is not the only UK technology achievement to be celebrated, and the computing giants of the 1980s, Amstrad and Sinclair also get a nod.
Now that hardware is less of an industry it is software companies that are flying the UK flag, and the V&A says that the last three decades have consistently produced "some of the world's most innovative and influential computer games".
GTA developer Rockstar is naturally happy at the news. "We're honored to announce that the Grand Theft Auto series has been selected for inclusion in the Victoria and Albert Museum's exhibition," it said.
"Representing each Grand Theft Auto title in the franchise and showcasing the innovation of living metropolises and open world gameplay, the exhibit features a commemorative video chronicling the history of the Grand Theft Auto series - and more."
The show runs until 12 August. µ

The stunning mountain town of Bariloche is Argentina's top destination for active travelers year round, offering amazing hiking, mountain biking and climbing during the summer. Once the June snowfall comes, you will see all sorts of wonderful winter sports at some of South America's best ski resorts. It's a classic (and classy) resort town, perfect if you're sick of the Northern Hemisphere's recent heat waves and would like to go skiing in July.
That's because it's the peak of the ski season, when Bariloche hosts one of Argentina's biggest and coolest parties: The Bariloche National Snow Festival. Begun in 1954 atop Cerro Catedral, the once modest sporting event has blossomed into a week-long extravaganza involving ski competitions, sweater contests, beauty pageants, lots of live music and a spectacular fireworks show to finish it all off.
The Snow Festival usually takes place in July or August, with this year's bash getting started on July 25th. The event will attract more than 10,000 people from all over Argentina and the world. From chocolate tastings to cocktail contests, with a soundtrack from some of South America's biggest bands playing live on the main stage, it promises to be a party to remember.
If you miss the main event, fear not! This being Argentina, there's also a Fiesta de la Nieve Gay (Gay Snow Festival) also held in Bariloche. In 2012, this popular party runs from September 3rd to 8th. In addition to skiing, skating and snowboarding competitions, among many other outdoor activities, a King and Queen of the Snow will be crowned to lead a spectacular final parade.

One team didn't have its quarterback to start the season and the other certainly isn't known for having a prolific passing game.
But Friday when fifth-seeded Bishop Guilfoyle Catholic travels to top-seeded Portage for a District 6 Class A high school football semifinal game, the contest may be decided by how Marauders' quarterback Brandon Chadbourn and Mustangs' QB Michael Bryja play.
"Bryja makes Portage a complete football team, and this is going to be a battle," Bishop Guilfoyle coach Justin Wheeler said. "Both teams are playing really well, and both teams have quarterbacks that can run and throw."
Article Photos
Mirror file photo by J.D. Cavrich
Portage's C.W. Miller (8) and Joe Randazzo could be vital in the Mustangs' passing vs. BG.
Portage (9-1) has had plenty of success in the regular season over the past decade but has struggled in the playoffs while being known as a run-first program.
"Michael is having a great year and is on fire lately," Portage coach Gary Gouse said. "Teams haven't been able to load the box up against the running game, and he's been a good leader on the field by keeping the offense calm.
"In the past, we couldn't score points in playoff games, because all we did is run."
Bryja is 58-for-102 and has thrown for 974 yards and 12 touchdowns this season but has been even better lately. In the final game of the regular season against Homer-Center, the third seed in the Class A playoffs which will play Bishop Carroll in the other semifinal Saturday, Bryja was 11-for-13 with 98 yards and a touchdown. During Portage's playoff opener this past Friday, the 6-foot-3 junior was 6-for-8 with 137 yards and another touchdown.
"The more we pass, the more it helps the run game," Portage running back Caleb Kephart said. "When we have both going well together, we are tough. We finally have a quarterback who can throw the ball, and it really helps us."
Kephart benefited more than anyone from Bryja's success through the air Friday, rushing 15 times for 175 yards. For the season, the junior running back has 144 carries for 1,337 yards.
"A couple things jump out at you when you watch Portage," Wheeler said. "You have to stop their best kids. Kephart is very explosive and they also have a fullback [Luke Dividock] who runs great traps. That gives them dual threats on the inside and outside, and their quarterback is really accurate."
The Bishop Guilfoyle defense won't be the only squad that is tested Friday.
Portage will have to deal with a dual threat as well - though it will come from one player.
Chadbourn leads the Marauders in rushing (124 carries, 841 yards, 11 TDs) and passing (51-of-82, 763 yards, 8 TDs).
"[Bishop Guilfoyle] has a great quarterback," Gouse said. "Chadbourn seems to be the heart and soul of the team. We have to limit him as much as we can. They also have a solid defense with big, quick and athletic kids."
The Marauders (9-2) began the season without Chadbourn at quarterback as the 6-foot-1 junior was playing through an injury and with a cast. Guilfoyle dropped consecutive games to Bedford and Richland and entered the third week of the season needing a boost. After a victory at Cambria Heights, the Marauders got their spark when Chadbourn returned at quarterback against Forest Hills and BG won, 40-14. BG is currently enjoying a nine-game winning streak.
"[Chadbourn] is a dual threat kid, and he's the fastest kid on our team," Wheeler said. "He's a great running back, and when you balance that with his ability to run the ball, he puts a lot of pressure on the defense."
Gouse also credited Chadbourn for his speed but hopes the switch from Mansion Park's turf to Portage Area Stadium's grass will help.
"It's a huge advantage playing at home," Kephart said. "Most schools aren't used to a huge crowd, and our place is always packed. It's a close-knit community and they love football."
Wheeler knows playing on the road in a closely-matched game puts his team at a disadvantage.
"On paper, this is going to be a good game," Wheeler said. "We are probably the underdog, but that's OK. We like that role, and we'll go out and try to get the win this week."

IOH invites you to post your opinion on these outcomes spanning not more than two paragraphs. Full details and place shall be indicated in the posting. IOH intends to submit your valuable suggestions with photo as a booklet to all Managing Committee Members for further studies and actions.

A friendly note to the members of Patriarchal faction: This is a request to the Orthodox Church members to verbalize their takes on this issue to their Church leadership. Please refrain from writing hereunder.

You might notice that you are in low spirits today, which may make you feel like retreating into solitude. It could be that your feelings are telling you that there are times in life when it is healthy to be alone in order to become centered and recharge your energy. If you feel down today, you might try meditation, which may help you gain a more objective view about things in your life. As you bring your focus within, you can begin by simply paying attention to you breath. Using your breath as your mental anchor, watch your thoughts as they come and go. You might observe that these thoughts are random and may not even reflect your current state of mind. Watching your thoughts in this way can help you realize that your thoughts do not define you, which may make it easier to lighten your heavy mood.
Meditation is a powerful tool that allows our minds to become aware of the effects our random thoughts have on our emotions. When we feel down, it is easy for us to think that our feelings are the result of something that is wrong with us when in fact they usually indicate that we need to slow down and take care of ourselves. Meditating helps us by teaching our minds that while our thoughts generate these feelings they often have little bearing on what is really going on in our lives. By observing your thoughts today, you will learn how to lessen the power they have over your moods.

Spring training hardly went according to plan for the Rays as a series of minor and odd injuries delayed some of their key decisions and threatened to impact their goal of getting the season off to a good start.
While third baseman Evan Longoria and left-handers Matt Moore and David Price recovered to make up for lost time, and designated hitter Luke Scott appeared recovered from offseason shoulder surgery, lingering injuries to shortstop Reid Brignac and outfielders Desmond Jennings and B.J. Upton could affect their plans.
Starting pitching is by far the strength of the team, and the depth is evident as it appears that Wade Davis, a double-digit winner the last two seasons, is headed to the bullpen as Jeff Niemann will win the battle to retain his spot in the rotation as they made room for rookie phenom Matt Moore.
Also, that strong prospects such as Alex Cobb, Alex Torres and Chris Archer were sent down early in camp.
After an impressive reconstruction of the bullpen following a massive post-2010 free-agent exodus, the Rays added depth (and late-game experience) by signing Fernando Rodney to complement returnees Kyle Farnsworth and Joel Peralta, giving them three potential end-of-game options.
The Rays will have depth all the way into Triple-A, though the March 22 arrest of prospect Matt Bush on reported DUI-related charges could limit that.
The biggest impact of the injuries was in setting the lineup after an off-season in which the Rays met their primary goal of bolstering their offense without diminishing their defense or dealing from their depth of starting pitching.
That was accomplished by signing free agent first baseman Carlos Pena, infielder Jeff Keppinger, who will play against left-handers, and Scott. The Rays have looked at several combinations, including the unorthodox alignment with Pena, a traditional cleanup hitter, in the No. 2 spot to take advantage of his high on-base percentage.
Also at issue is the overall readiness of the hitters, given how many regular players missed at-bats due to injuries and the limited schedules of Longoria, Scott, Upton, Jennings and Brignac.
Overall, the primary concerns are at shortstop and catcher. The Rays were looking at a potential platoon of Brignac and Sean Rodriguez, although Brignac might be deemed not ready because of the plantar fascia problem in his right foot.
Veteran catcher Jose Molina, a career backup, is going to be limited to 80-to-90 starts behind the plate so it appears the other half of the playing time will go to Jose Lobaton, although essentially by default as no other candidates emerged. A late-spring pickup remains a possibility.
Longoria, who missed more than a week because of a bruised right hand, seems poised to carry over his strong second half and make a run at an MVP award.
Starters James Shields and David Price both have top three Cy Young finishes on their resumes and are poised for further success. Moore is considered the favorite to succeed Jeremy Hellickson as the Rookie of the Year.
|Plantar fascia issues may keep SS Reid Brignac off of the Opening Day roster and have impacted the competition between he and Sean Rodriguez for the shortstop job.
--SS Reid Brignac's availability to start the season is in question because of a painful and awkward plantar fascia problem with his right foot. Brignac hopes to play through the pain and return for the final week of exhibitions, and then the Rays will have to decide if he is too limited that way and if they would be better off with Sean Rodriguez and Elliot Johnson handling the position.
--RHPs Burke Badenhop and Brandon Gomes were competing for the final spot in the bullpen. Badenhop, acquired from Miami, is a ground-ball specialist whom the Rays are also considering for multiple-inning duty. Gomes was impressive as a rookie last season and repeatedly earns praise from manager Joe Maddon for his toughness on the mound.
--CF B.J. Upton's return from back and abdomen soreness stemming from a March 14 outfield collision with Desmond Jennings took longer than expected and could impact his readiness to start the season. As of March 22, Upton had not been back on the field in a major-league game, and had gotten only three at-bats in a minor-league game.
--LF Desmond Jennings was the latest Ray to join the line in the trainer's room, sidelined at least several days due to a sore throwing shoulder. Both Jennings and the Rays said it was a cautionary move to prevent future problems and not the result of a specific injury.
--RHP Matt Bush, a top relief prospect, put his future with the team in jeopardy Thursday when he was arrested on a series of DUI-related charges after fleeing the scene of a serious accident in Port Charlotte, Fla., the team's spring training base. Bush, 26, had battled alcohol issues earlier in his career and had earned praise from the Rays for how he had handled himself. He was likely to open the season at Triple-A Durham with a chance to reach the majors this season.
--SS Tim Beckham is expected to be the everyday starter at Triple-A Durham, but he was used at second base during his stint in big-league camp with the idea that if he shows he ready offensively the versatility could speed his path to the majors. "I feel close hitting, I feel close at short, I feel close everywhere," he said.
BY THE NUMBERS: 16.11 -- Average plate appearances per strikeout by INF Jeff Keppinger, second best among active players.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "You have no idea. For me personally, it's quite a moment. I'm not usually star-struck but I have been today. ... I've been waiting for this moment to happen for many, many years." -- Rays manager Joe Maddon, on meeting childhood idol Joe Namath at the March 20 spring game.

I wrote about DeAngelo Benton and the freshman receivers today, which you can read here. My notebook is here.
As I mentioned in the story, we haven't been able to talk to Benton yet. My hunch is that coach Gene Chizik is trying to limit his media exposure to avoid either a) putting more pressure on him, or b) giving him a big head.
It should be noted that we did get to talk to Tyrik Rollison, another freshman in whom there is massive interest, on Thursday. So perhaps Benton is just around the corner.
There's no doubt Auburn has big plans for Benton. Of course, the Tigers have had highly anticipated young receivers arrive with much fanfare before (Chris Slaughter comes to mind), but I tend to think the combination of talent and opportunity will make this a successful season for Benton.
Looking at Auburn's roster of receivers, it's not as thin as you might expect. There's just an absence of star power. Still, you get the sense that many of these guys could thrive in an non-disfunctional offense.
In no particular order...
* Montez Billings -- Top returning receiver...Missed all of spring, but is back now and Chizik says he will play.
* Terrell Zachery
* Quindarius Carr
* Tim Hawthorne -- Will miss a good bit of camp with an ankle injury, but apparently will be ready at or near start of season.
* Darvin Adams -- Could be the biggest break-out receiver of 2009. Trooper loves him.
* Derek Winter
* Emory Blake -- Quarterbacks say he's smart and talented. Will definitely play quickly.
* DeAngelo Benton -- Doesn't seem to have lost a step after his absence from football.
* Philip Pierre-Louis -- After being prepped for a big role in 2008, has a long way to go to make an impact in 2009.
* Travante Stallworth -- The most raw of the new receivers. He might be a good redshirt candidate if the position were stronger, but he has a chance to impress in camp.
I could also include Phillip Lutzenkirchen, Mario Fannin and several others in this list. (EDIT: I took Anthony Gulley off this list after an e-mail from an alert reader.) They're not receivers, per se, but they could do a lot of pass-catching this year.
Let me know if I'm forgetting someone.

Apparently Tad is posing a comeback, with old AGE reps..
AGEMAN wrote: I have heard about this, but where was Tad when he was next in line to run the company before Bagby took over?? My understanding is he didn't have the capability to run the company.
But bagby Did ? Tad would have done fine with the right board. But we had a Dufus board that bagby sold on the concept that we could not compete. We have seen that is not the case with SF stock at 50. Ron K looks like a genius now and nobody heard of him in the 90's when he wanted to sell the company.
Tad would have done well, very well. The board was looking for a big payday after relative underperformance. bags sold em. Now look.
1st office just jumped to Tad's new place yesterday...a Missouri office
I believe.
Springfield MO lost their top 2 producers. One over a million, not sure where the other FA fell in production, but he was #2.
Now people who want to find the next AG Edwards can. And it is with Tad.
No clue about the transition packages. And if Tad wants to create a firm and seperate himself from the other STL firms, he can go after Presidents and Chairmans producers.
I have not heard about the "buy in" but I did hear there is no signing bonus and they will consider giving you equity in the new company as a partner.
Well, if the new firm is selective, they can become a nice fit for $500M and above producers. Again, if they want to seperate themselves from EDJ and Stifel, that would be the route I would go. I hear there is more top producers (AGE Legacy) on the way to the new firm. If they get the qaulity they got in Springfield MO, they might get some traction.
Good for Tad and the Family.
That is great I hope Tad does well!
I am AGE legacy and can confirm that Tad is not a leader. There is no doubt that Bagby ran him out of his position, but that was only due to Tad's inability to manage and show true leadership. Once Bagby took over it was obvious that AG was on the selling block. If you review Tad's Bio you will see that his claim to fame is being a "lucky sperm". I am not faulting him for his legacy only for his inabilty to pick up the pieces after Ben left.
Tad looks pretty good now. Say what you want about his leadership back then but if you thought Bagby was the guy to run the show you were sold out. Tad would not have done that. Tad is older and wiser as we all are. Look at the employee roster of his new firm and you will see some talented people that you knew in another life.

I respectfully disagree. I was a Legacy AGE and Branch Manager and he got hosed IMO.
Go to his company website and look at the names of who he brought over. Qaulity people and people that made the old AGE what it was. If he was not a good leader, these people would not sign up and the top producers of the Springfield MO office would not have taken the leap. If you were connected to AGE, you will recognize most of these names.
By the way, I left AGE and went to a very, very large firm. So no dog in this fight, except, I believe in this guy! He needs to find his companies "sweet spot" to differentiate. I hope he does.
Look around the website. It looks surprisingly familiar
A 13....not a leader...let me ask u...can u start a firm from scratch
and draw those types of folks....I'll ask another question...can Bagby do what Tad just did....say what u want that takes alot of perseverance
and work....good luck to the Edwards family...they are very fine people....my guess is before the yr is out they will have a half dozen branches or more
Heard you can buy equity and there is a comp pkg. Good luck Tad!
Tad Edwards wins regulatory approval for brokerage
St. Louis Business Journal - by Rick Desloge
A brokerage with a familiar sounding name is opening in Clayton.
Benjamin "Tad" Edwards IV launched Benjamin F. Edwards & Co. on March 17, a day after receiving an approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), a non-governmental regulator for securities firms.
Edwards is the son of former A.G. Edwards Inc. chairman and CEO Ben Edwards III, who retired from the investment business prior to its 2007 sale to Wachovia. Tad Edwards stayed with the company until last May when he resigned.
His new business is at 10 S. Brentwood Blvd., near the corner of Brentwood and Forsyth boulevards. Joining Edwards are at least three others: Cindy Becker, Allen Cole and Kurt Longworth.
Becker formerly worked for Edward Jones and, in years prior, worked for A.G. Edwards. Cole was with Wachovia in St. Louis until last October, and Longworth was with A.G. Edwards until March 2007, FINRA records show.
"There will be additional people," Edwards said. He declined to elaborate on the new venture, in part because it awaits approvals from other regulators, including the Missouri Division of Securities. A spokesperson for the division of securities could not be reached for comment.
Missouri Secretary of State records show Benjamin F. Edwards Co. Inc. applied for recognition as a new corporation Aug. 19, 2008, and filed an annual report with the secretary of state's office Nov. 25, 2008. The annual report lists Edwards, Becker and Longworth as directors and officers.
Benjamin F. Edwards & Co.'s Web site lists eight additional positions that it expects to fill once it receives all its necessary licenses

There are a few pretty pretty big wealth management firms (teams that have broken away from Merrill and a few others recently) that are using this strategy. Old-school partnerships. I think it's a great idea. Nothing says "buy-in" like ownership.
I heard he was going to open an office in California but had bigger fish to fry in New York. A quick look at the website shows Bill Forrester as a regional manager. He grew and ran the biggest office in the firm. Nice hire Tad.
It was a shame to see A.G. Edwards go. I hope the best for Tad.
Any word on plans for Texas? I have been miserable for the last two years, and now it feels like I can finally go home. I hired in under Ben, and was honored to know both him and Tad. I would pay in a hearbeat to work for Benjamin F Edwards.
Call 314-726-1600 and talk to Tad, Marty Altenberger or Kurt Longworth. You'll be happy you did. Go sit with them in St. Louis. You'll swear you were back at AGE!
A.G Edward reps did get screwed and they do deserve a chance to get away from that piece of $#!T firm that bought them.
Good Luck
Thanks - I called today. My T12 isn't quite enough by myself, but I spent the afternoon calling my friends to try to get a group together. We are in North Dallas if anyone wants to join in our branch.

What T12 is needed?
They are looking for the 2 million range amoungst the group, but it is negotiable depending on the location and staffing costs.
Do they self clear or go through a third party? Insurance benefits ? How do I service clients in 20 states ? I guess if i was in MO ....fine....but why else ?
They clear through pershing
Pershing is , of course , as good or better than anyone and this way the tech is constantly at the top. The bond desk is pershing , that way, the inventory at the desk will be great also along with the margin department. The contact software is pershing and the product platform is pershing too. All good.The Pershing statements are really good too so this is a plus. The client login is pershing so this is a plus for clients going forward.
So I ask you , with these big things and more how does a branch and a firm make money by outsurcing all it can't do because of size. Has any " Full service firm " ever become profitable that does not self clear and run it's own desk and equity trading for it's own account ?
Aren't you guys totally fired up about this ? Why no comment ? This has got to be the answer for many of you.
I am SO EXCITED I can't stand it. It is all that I can do to not jump in my truck and drive to St. Louis right now. I have just been trying to get in touch with some old AGEs to get enough trailing 12 so that we can get going. I have been driving all of my friends and family nuts talking about this. And everyone in my office keeps commenting on happy I look.
As soon as I get moved and we are up and running, I will be getting in touch with my friends that are down in Houston, Waco and Browsville so that I can help them get back. You are definitely right, this is THE answer for me. I can't get back soon enough!!!
You are right! I'm also very excited about this venture. I wish I was the broker of the day in St. Louis. All of the clients that want to come back to Edwards. Wow!
I have talked with Tad's firm like a lot of guys but it has been a month since two investment brokers have joined.
Red...hear they are adding a city office this coming week. Also Bill Forester is on board. He built the biggest branch in the age system in midtown manhatten. Did more business than Frontenac or Naples. He will build a solid network on the east coast for Tad.
That's good to hear. Bill is a superstar. He will do very well.
Benjamin F Edwards Inc opens 2nd branch in White Plains NY
an expanded version:
Benjamin F. Edwards & Co. Opens in New York
Establishes branch in White Plains, NY and hires four veteran financial consultants
ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Not even the "Great Recession" and unprecedented upheaval in the financial services industry can prevent Benjamin F. Edwards & Co. from introducing its client-first promise to investors in metro New York. Today company officials with the St. Louis-based brokerage announced the opening of its branch in White Plains, N.Y. – the second in the company's system – and the hiring of four seasoned financial consultants who will work from the new location.
"We are pleased to welcome the outstanding financial consultants and staff to our new White Plains office and look forward to helping them service investors in the greater New York metropolitan area," said Benjamin F. (Tad) Edwards, founder, chairman, chief executive officer, and president of Benjamin F. Edwards & Co. "With the opening of our second office, we believe we are well on our way toward our goal of offering client-focused financial services using a business model that relies on a culture of trust, integrity and mutual respect – all while having fun – to investors in major metro areas and middle market communities across the country."
The objective of putting clients' interests first and treating others the way they want to be treated is something that Tad Edwards knows well. Tad is a 30-year veteran of the financial services industry who has a family legacy of serving investors that stretches back six generations and spans 120 years. He is the son of Benjamin F. Edwards III, the legendary former chairman and chief executive officer of A.G. Edwards, Inc., and the great-great-grandson of that company's founder, Albert Gallatin Edwards.
Tad Edwards established Benjamin F. Edwards & Co. last year, and he intends to adhere to a philosophy that puts the firm's clients first, employees second, and shareholders third – the client-friendly business model advocated by his father, Ben, the man for whom the company is named.
"Having spent much of our careers at A.G. Edwards, working again at a firm headed by the Edwards family and one that shares our dedication to our clients is a bit like coming home for us," said Neal Baumann, who joins Benjamin F. Edwards as co-branch manager and senior vice president - investments. "Adding to our enthusiasm is the fact that Benjamin F. Edwards & Co. has the depth of resources and the assortment of products and services we need to help our clients map out a financial approach that meets their goals and objectives."
Baumann brings with him nearly 25 years of experience in the financial services industry – including 17 years with A.G. Edwards/Wells Fargo Advisors. Wachovia Securities acquired A.G. Edwards in 2007 and was acquired by Wells Fargo Advisors in 2008.
In addition to Baumann, the following are also joining the Benjamin F. Edwards & Co. branch office in White Plains:
David T. Shipper – Shipper has more than 35 years of experience serving clients. He joined the A.G. Edwards White Plains office in 1995 and now moves to Benjamin F. Edwards & Co. as a co-branch manager and vice president – investments.
The Condon Group – Comprised of Thomas J. Condon and his son, Stephen M. Condon, the group specializes in cash flow retirement planning. Before joining A.G. Edwards in 1992, Tom Condon enjoyed a 25-year career in commercial banking, including 12 years at Citibank. Stephen joined A.G. Edwards in 2004 after a brief career in the United States Investigative Services. At Benjamin F. Edwards & Co., the senior Condon will be a managing director – investments, while Stephen will serve as an associate vice president – investments.
"We are confident that the steadfast and client-friendly corporate culture of Benjamin F. Edwards & Co. will appeal to our clients," said David Shipper. "We are excited about this transition and look forward to introducing Benjamin F. Edwards & Co. to our clients and investors in the White Plains community and beyond."
Pershing LLC: A strong, reliable and strategic relationship
Benjamin F. Edwards & Co. contracted with Pershing LLC, a BNY Mellon company, to provide trading and settlement services, operational support, and a recently enhanced technology platform for the company's financial consultants.
An industry leader, Pershing has 70 years of experience providing operational support for some of the leading names in financial services. The company also offers a comprehensive suite of investment solutions and services, including a wide selection of mutual funds and support for advisory programs. Equity research and other specialized services will be made available through an assortment of strategic alliances that Pershing has with other third-party providers.
"We selected Pershing because they have a very strong and experienced management team, and a platform that has the global capabilities, resources, and operational support that our financial consultants need in order to provide our clients with comprehensive and innovative financial solutions," said Edwards. "Our Home Office team, which is currently comprised exclusively of A.G. Edwards veterans each with an average of more than 25 years of experience, will act as intermediaries between Pershing and our financial consultants to offer a friendly service model that will help meet our clients' needs and service expectations."
Branch expansion plans
With the opening of its second branch in White Plains, the company continues to evaluate expansion opportunities in other major metro areas and in middle market communities and expects to add more locations before the end of the year.
"In today's market climate we are confident that our client-first approach to investing will be attractive to financial consultants and investors and we look forward to introducing this culture in other locations," said Edwards. "We will grow in a careful and prudent manner and seek out financial consultants who share our passion for client service and our belief in the Golden Rule and treating others the way we want to be treated."

I am not at BFEC, but I know Tad and the best people there. You sound like a person that they will work it out for you. I hope you have met with Tad but if not you should, right now.
Anyone heard anything new? I have been talking with them, and it does feel just like AGE!!!
When I went with AGE as a trainee in the 80's nobody knew who they where outside of St Louis. I felt like they were a good fit for me. I had no clients but I really liked the Company history and the people. I was right. Sometimes you just have to go with feel.
AGE is dead just to let you know..
Yes, I know Bob Bagby and Danny Ludeman killed it. It is a shame we can't bring charges against them. But thankfully there are enough people that believe in doing right by the clients that there is a phoenix rising from the ashes of the great AG Edwards, and it is called Benjamin F Edwards.
yeah except no one except grumpy AGE guys know about it... plus they clear through pershing, so not exactly AGE
Chief, you bring up a good point. lots of big firms do not self clear. some really small firms do and visversa. So...........? ( I need education, not that smart)
Well, the people that have joined Edwards, back office and reps are unbelievably great. They are all super hard workers that care about clients and the brokers. I worked with several in the home office years ago. Tad has picked the best of the best. Good luck!
Why not just recreate AG Edwards, how hard would it really be? It seems to me that this isn't really an attempt to recreate anything, instead give people a job/place to go who didn't like working for AG/WACH/Wells..
I hear BFE will be firing up branch number 3 this Friday in the southeast and BR number 4 will be on their way around thksgvng
Who cares.... move there or move on..
Congrats Tad for creating a great place for clients to do business! Exciting to hear about all of the new branches.
Peoria is perfect. 8 more . I think Tad is on a roll. I would not have thought of Peoria. Good luck Tad !
The quality of life at Benjamin F. Edwards will be fantastic. Peoria, super people! Congratulations Tad. More to come, I'm sure. What a ground floor opportunity!

Dissecting my FED 3 Camera!7 8
I bought this camera with a leather case and 52mm f/2.8 Industar-61 lens off craigslist for a measly $20. Upon further inspection the alignment on both the horizontal and vertical rangefinder was off and there was something rattling inside.
I searched EVERYWHERE online and couldn't find a place that listed how to deal with this particular model. The other version of FED 3 has a simple screw for vertical adjustment, however this one does not. I was able to find horizontal but not vertical. Furthermore I was not able to find a single thing about how to remove all the dials to get the top plate off.
So after 3 hours I finally figured it all out. It's pretty simple actually. If anyone is interested I'll make a full tutorial on how to do this. For now I'll just summarize it. I took the photo below after taking off all the knobs. Most have tiny screws on them that can easily be twisted off. Some are rusted on and require a bit more force. However in this photo the front diopter is still in place. This needs to also be unscrewed to remove the top plate.
After all that, the top plate comes off. Here's where the adjustments are.
I figured out the thing rattling inside was actually a triangle that's meant to hold the cold shoe in place. For some reason mine was able to stay on top of my camera without it. I easily rescrewed it back in. Now no more rattling! :D I also discovered this camera is made of copper! How weird!
That Diopter (not sure if that's the official name) in the photograph before was the problem! That was the whole reason my vertical view was off. I thought originally it was just a piece of glass…however it's not. Depending on how close or far it is away from the mirror prism determines the height of the vertical alignment. I believe this was improperly assembled in the factory.
Since I can't move the glass inside the piece. I put dental floss behind it at the correctly measured distance for alignment. I'm going to get some metal washers later and use that instead (as it would look more professional) but I don't have any on me right now. So here it is…the finally fixed and calibrated FED 3a Type 2!
EDIT: So I was at the Deli today and they had this pack of metal washers there. (really random I know!) anywho, I applied the washer and it was the correct distance to separate the vertical diopter from the prism! It's a little ghetto looking but now everything is perfectly adjusted and fully functional! Here's an image of that below. :]
So what do you guys think? Have you ever attempted to repair a camera of your own without any instructions? If so, how did it go? Were you scared? I'm curious to know. :3

We booked this cruise on short notice. It was inexpensive ($619 balcony pp) and out of NY which were 2 big items since this was our 3rd cruise this year. Cabin was nice. Ship was clean. There were more kids than we normally see on a cruise, but that was fine. They seemed to be having a great time, and for the most part were being supervised.
We wound up with anytime dining-which we didn't like. Normally, we bond with our wait staff and have great service along with great food. We didn't really have either. Food was ok, not great. Service in the anytime dining room was good one night, and bad the next. Guy's burgers were great. Burrito bar great. Buffet was ok. Couldn't get any berries on the ship-and they ran out of bananas-or so I was told.
The big negative for me was that all the hot tubs were closed the entire trip. The adult pool was cold-and full of people drinking their drinks in the pool. I notice that people drinking in the pool seem to be their for hours, and didn't see anyone running to the toilet.....so I passed on the pool. The good news is- unlike other cruise lines the adult pool had no children in it.
The smoking on the ship seemed excessive. The casino was very smokey. We had to leave one night because it was unbearable. They don't enforce the "no smoking" policy on some machines that are marked as no smoking. Our clothes smelled bad. People can smoke on their balconies-and despite being told not to-throw cigarettes overboard-which is a fire hazard. Other cruise lines we have been on seem to have a better handle on smoking guidelines.
Both ports were fine, and since it was our 3rd trip to both ports, we didn't do any excursions. Weather was great.
Cruise director was absentee, and entertainment was very poor.
Bottom line is, Carnival is not our favorite cruise line. Would we do it again? Yes if the price was cheap enough. We wouldn't do a long cruise with them.

June 14, 2006 | Bio-IT companies exploit pharma executives' anxiety about the declining productivity of their R&D investments and the withering of their new product pipelines. But there are other market forces at work that may also be affecting how pharma executives think about the bets they are making on new compounds. A number of software tools have been developed to drive ultimate discovery productivity once a given compound has been approved.
An increasingly interesting discussion topic involves market forces that may influence R&D investments and ultimately the bio-IT tools required to develop new products. Arguably the field of "cost-effectiveness" analysis and the explosion of direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising are having a meaningful impact in setting these priorities.
"Pharma just cannot simply compete on clinical benefits alone, and with even more sophisticated consumers and managed care plans, pharmaco-economic analytical models will increasingly play a role in drug discovery," observes Peter Neumann, director, Center for the Evaluation of Value and Risk in Health, at Tufts University in Boston. The emerging debate centers on the desire to improve value to the patient with lowering overall healthcare costs. This issue is even more important as pharmacy benefit managers increasingly adopt evidenced-base studies and rely on value-based formularies.
Biotech companies must think downstream as they consider what drugs to develop. Many companies are introducing cost-effectiveness analysis earlier in the discovery process. Traditionally this work is done in Phase IV development or post-approval, but now "executives are studying economic endpoints in Phases I through III and calculating the cost per unit of health benefit realized," states Neumann.
The benefits of this thinking are still controversial. Arguably, there is a more efficient allocation of healthcare resources as the cost and benefits are better understood. With a more efficient allocation one could argue that this will support greater and more relevant innovation. But do the overall discovery costs go down?
Economists are increasingly debating the overall cost impact. These analyses may further delay innovation and add an incremental cost to the overall discovery process. While the recently enacted Medicare Modernization Act contemplates additional cost-effectiveness analysis, regulatory agencies are not yet requiring them. But is it appropriate for pharmacy plans and formulary guidelines to have any impact on which drugs enter into the discovery pipeline?
Ad ExplosionThe other development that will influence the drug discovery pipeline over the next few years is the explosion of DTC advertising. "There has been a tremendous shift in consumer leverage with the education of the public through DTC, and this will drive prescription volume, which logically will influence discovery," states Chris McKown, president of Health Dialog, a Boston-based provider of consumer healthcare information. "Arguably, the DTC advertising phenomenon over time will shift R&D dollars," McKown continues, "but does the consumer's increased involvement correlate to improved consumer utilities?"
The DTC phenomenon has been controversial from the outset. Rigorous guidelines are in place to monitor the accuracy of these promotions. McKown observes that "there is a greater responsibility that comes with influencing parties with relatively low sophistication like the consumer." Notwithstanding the controversy, there has been a lot of startup activity around companies that promise to improve the productivity of marketing spend and detailing activities.
So why is this relevant to the venture investor? Any tool that drives productivity in the R&D spend is exciting and augurs well for other bio-IT tools vendors, many of which have struggled to date. Evidence is mounting that pharma continues to incorporate software tools in how they conceive their discovery pipelines and increasingly are finding value in conducting detailed analytics, be it molecular pathway modeling to pharmaco-economic analyses. As executives come to appreciate that their drug discovery activity is a critical asset of their companies, there is a greater acceptance that these "assets" need to be managed more intelligently or effectively using many types of software tools.
