Investment & Securities Industry Overview
Video Tip
For our brief video introduction to the Investment industry, see
The investment industry is comprised of a wide variety of sectors and service providers. At the top of the list are the giant asset managers, like BlackRock, a firm managing assets that total more than $3.5 trillion, an amount so immense that it is roughly equal to the gross national products of Russia and India combined. Also at the top of the industry are the biggest exchanges, were billions of shares trade hands yearly, along with the major investment banks, those firms that raise money for corporate clients by selling their stocks and bonds to the public and arranging massive loans. Investment banks also deal in private equity investments and asset management, and they earn immense fees by brokering mergers and acquisitions.
Then there are the big firms that provide stock brokerage services. Some of them, like Merrill Lynch, are also investment banks. Others, like Charles Schwab, are primarily stock brokers that deal with millions of individual customers. However, the lines have blurred between sectors in recent years. It is common for one firm to operate in multiple segments of the business at once: commercial banking, investment banking, asset management, insurance, mortgages, financial advisory, venture capital, mergers and acquisitions and more.
The Global Investment Industry:
This is a massive, global industry, and, in light of the fact that it provides the services that enable companies to have access to capital, it is one of the most important industries of all. Global mutual fund assets totaled $26.05 trillion on September 30, 2012, according to the Investment Company Institute. The World Federation of Exchanges estimated the total value (market capitalization) of stocks on all of the world's significant exchanges at $47.4 trillion as of the end of 2011, with shares available in 46,814 companies. Worldwide during 2011, 28.0 trillion shares were traded.
After an extremely turbulent 2008 and 2009 during the Great Recession, the global investment industry was greatly altered. Lehman Brothers was allowed to fail completely. Bear Stearns was taken over by JPMorgan Chase at a nominal price. Global banking and investment industry leader RBS (Royal Bank of Scotland) was bailed out with public funds to the extent that it became controlled by the UK government. Insurance industry giant AIG was bailed out by the American government. The world became familiar with phrases like "toxic assets," and American taxpayers, whether they liked it or not, backed emergency plans and market support programs with acronyms like TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) and TALF (Term Asset-Backed Loan Facility). By the end of 2009, the U.S. government had created initiatives based on corporate bailouts, asset purchases, emergency lending and financial market support totaling more than $2 trillion. These were only a few of the massive changes wrought by the upheaval of the global financial crisis that began quietly in the late summer of 2007 and roared into a full financial hurricane in 2008.
As the financial crisis unfolded, governments around the globe issued emergency funding to leading banks and investment banks. At one time, virtually all stock market indexes had been down by as much as 40% to 60%, depending on geographic location. A handful of extremely clever investors made vast profits by skillful, courageous, contrarian investing during the turmoil.
By the end of the painful 2008-09 period, the investment industry, on a global basis, had been through losses, layoffs, scandals, bankruptcies, forced mergers, government intervention, bailouts and/or disappointments on a scale not seen in decades. In 2010-12, the industry began rebuilding and reshaping its strategy.
China is the biggest growth story in the investment world by far. A large percentage of the world's IPOs are now on Chinese exchanges, including Hong Kong.
: In many cases, investment companies and banks are closely related. Some of the world's largest investment banks, such as Merrill Lynch (forced into a merger with Bank of America during the recent financial crisis), are owned by major commercial banks.
New regulations are putting banks under pressure, making it more difficult to operate and more difficult to earn profits. The global group known as the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) continues to monitor the health of the banking system and issue recommendations for bank capital and risk management. The biggest changes faced by banks that plan to comply with the latest round of recommendations, the "Basel III" accords, will be in raising sufficient capital. The Tier-1 minimum capital requirement will increase to 10.5% by 2019. (Tier-1 capital is a ratio of equity capital plus stated bank reserves, to assets, and is a commonly used measure of a bank's core financial stability. The massive UK bank RBS had only about 3.5% of Tier-1 capital when the financial crisis began, and the bank promptly failed. U.S. banks endured losses equal to about 7% of assets during the recent crisis.) The intent is to make it much less likely that massive bank failures will be faced in the future, even during a major financial upheaval.
While this may be desirable from a stability point of view, it places significant constraints on banks. As a result, they will earn a lower profit ratio on assets. Also, in many cases, they will be required to sell large amounts of new stock, thus diluting the positions of existing stockholders. (An alternative way to raise capital is to sell large amounts of assets, which many banks have been doing.) Compliance with Basel accords is recommended to the governments and regulatory authorities where global banks are based, including the U.S. Nations may choose whether and to what extent to comply on a voluntary basis.
In June 2012, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board approved three proposals implementing the Basel III standards. Basel III requirements and capital increases were planned to be phased-in at American banks starting on January 1, 2013. However, after wide-ranging complaints and criticism, the Federal Reserve, in November 2012, delayed implementation of a large part of the requirements pending further study. The rules are considered by many to be particularly hard on small banks. Combined with the recent Dodd-Frank banking act, and a stringent new Market Risk Final Rule covering risk capital, Basel III is part of a dramatic overhaul of the American banking system. Globally, in order to comply with the Basel III standards, analysts at Fitch Ratings estimated that 29 of the world's leading banks would need to raise $566 billion in additional capital from 2013 to 2019. Banks got something of a break in January 2013 when the rules were relaxed slightly. Certain requirements that would have begun in 2015 were pushed back to 2019, and the types of assets that can be counted toward meeting a bank's liquidity requirements were made more flexible and lenient.
In the U.S. a sweeping reform bill, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, was signed by President Obama in July 2010, after European finance ministers approved similar regulations for much of Europe a few months earlier. In general, requirements under the law include broad powers for the government to monitor systemic financial risk and to intervene where it deems necessary. For example, it requires a bank to shrink in size if the government believes that the bank is posing financial risks, and an orderly liquidation process has been set out for extreme cases in which regulators need to seize and auction off financial firms that are nearing bankruptcy.
Another requirement is the creation of a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to oversee and regulate the issuance of products like mortgages, credit cards, personal loans and retirement plans. The bureau has a $500 million budget that does not require Congressional approval. The budget is funded by the Federal Reserve. By the beginning of 2013, the CFPB had begun to clarify how new rules would apply to the creation of mortgages when it issued a definition of a "qualified" mortgage, that is, a mortgage that can be assumed to be relatively safe that was issued to a borrower who will be likely to meet the monthly payments.
Under Dodd-Frank, credit card issuers will be required to operate under modified rules that are much more consumer-friendly than in the past. Debit card processors will be required to charge lower fees on transactions. Other provisions of the bill include a permanent increase in federal deposit insurance from $100,000 to $250,000; requiring mortgage lenders to verify that borrowers are likely to be able to repay their loans; and the establishment of a new Federal Insurance Office within the Treasury Department to oversee the insurance industry. Supporters of the new law contend that the recent financial crisis proves the need for government protection of consumers against abusive financial practices. Detractors are concerned with the potential for too much new oversight enforced by inefficient new bureaucracies, placing a strangle-hold on business and productivity.
The U.S. Investment Industry:
Employment in America alone, in firms that are involved in securities and investments, was estimated at 803,100 as of October 2012, down by about 4,000 from the previous year according to numbers published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Standards.
About 51 million Americans participate in 401(k) investment plans at their places of work, with assets totaling about $3.2 trillion as of June 2012. Mutual funds in America held $12.8 trillion in assets as of November 2012, while ETFs held $1.295 trillion. U.S. retirement account assets totaled about $18.5 trillion in mid 2012, according to ICI, the Investment Company Institute (
America's stock exchanges are highly electronic today, trading vast amounts of stocks, bonds and options at blazing speed. Average daily volume on the NYSE was running at a 1.14 billion shares rate in late 2012 and a 1.74 billion shares rate on the NASDAQ.
Despite these high volumes of trading, America has lost the title it held for decades as the world's leader in public stock offerings. The Sarbanes-Oxley accounting and public company disclosure regulations, passed in 2002, created a huge blow to the industry. Many firms now choose to list on exchanges in Asia or London instead of New York City. Meanwhile, Hong Kong has been a leading exchange for IPOs since 2009, competing with the NYSE and the NASDAQ. However, the CME Group, based in Chicago, Illinois, retains the top spot as an exchange for futures and options.

Chip Posts NBA Megabucks (37-12-1 75%) Winner
Chip Posts NBA Megabucks (37-12-1 75%) Winner
LA Clippers vs. Philadelphia, 02/11/2013 19:00 EDT, Score: 107 - 90
Point Spread: +5½/-110 Philadelphia
Sportsbook: BookMaker
Result: Loss
L.A. Clippers at Philadelphia 7:00 ET
76ers + over Clippers- Sunday was a breeze and the injured return to the court for Los Angeles and they shocked the Knicks in New York (Vegas Insiders Winner) and now that move on to Philadelphia very cocky. This game should virtually be a pick-em affair as both the Clippers road record and 76ers home records are identical at 16-12. The same difference is that Philadelphia is 15-13 ATS art home while the Clippers are 12-15 ATS on the road. The Clippers are coming off a huge road win and will have a small letdown here as they are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games overall. Take the 76ers!

Elastic Force
Article posted May 5, 2010 at 04:27 PM GMT • comment • Reads 1752
Elastic force is when gravity pulls a object ( like a rubber-band) making it have a resist. What i learned about elastic force was from a rubber band. When we pulled it a certin distance it would pull on the spring in the spring scale it would give us a higher Newton number. Each time we pulled it a bigger distance then the last, it would resist more. Wanting to shoot back to the other side. Each time you streach a rubber-band it gets weaker. Wich would give a weaker score each time if continued to be used. wich could give bad data.
Batteries change!!!!
Article posted April 26, 2010 at 04:26 PM GMT • comment • Reads 1695
When you have a battery it is holding stored chemical energy. Wich we also call potential energy ( not moving energy). When you use the battery, the potantial energy turns into electrical energy. Which is konetic energy ( moving energy ). The konetic energy goes through the wires to what ever your using, like for us we yoused a light bulb. When we connected it to the lightbulb the electrical energy turns into light and heat. when you charge a battery ( if it's chargable ), konetic energy goes through the wires that are in the wall and goes in the battery. Then the cycle starts all over again.

freshwater pollution
Article posted October 28, 2009 at 04:00 PM GMT • comment • Reads 1748
Freshwater Pollution Most people wonder what effect water pollution will have on us, the water life, and the land around the water. Well, all of these questions can be answered in this little pamphlet. What is Freshwater Pollution? Well there are 3 main sources of freshwater pollution, fishermen, farming, and garbage. Garbage is mostly like plastic and glass containing waste liquid. Also bait from fishermen and tangled line gets dumped into the water. When line is left in the water is creates pollution. Batteries and tin cans can also make freshwater pollution when met with physical heat. How Does Water Pollution Affect You? Water pollution can harm you in lots of ways like; it could get into your water and make you sick. It can also kill the plants around it and the animals that might be drinking from it. It can cause a layer of slime around fish and stop the oxygen from coming through the gills. Water pollution can also harm our air. It also makes your drinking water unsafe for everyone. What Are Nitrates And Are They Bad? Nitrates are a natural compound. Nitrates are bad to every thing that drinks water. It can get into your water and make you sick from the bacteria. If your water has more then level 10ppm of Nitrates it is dangerous to your health. Nitrates can give a baby that is 4 months or younger can give your baby blue baby syndrome. Nitrates help plants and animals to grow but the can cause a grown man to either have a really bad illness or even die. How Can we Prevent Water Pollution? We can all prevent water pollution by picking up our garbage like bait and tangled line from the waters like lakes. BY picking up plastic and cans, cardboards, and other things that lay on the side of the roads. Putting less fertilizer and gardens. Also not throwing fish guts into fishing waters. Trying not to spill chemicals into the waters.

Allentown City Council is being asked to continue tax abatements for new construction or expansion of industrial and commercial buildings for three more years.
But a committee and Mayor Joseph S. Daddona are recommending the abatement be dropped for new residential construction and rehabilitation.
Since the abatements began in 1978 as a means to spur economic development, the city has deferred the payment of property taxes for industrial and commercial projects with a total assessed valuation of $9.8 million. The assessed value of residential projects given tax deferments amounted to $3.2 million.

The Week That Was
Take a break from a Saturday at the pool with these top five stories from Talentmgt.com for the week of June 11.
1. Will Predictive Analytics Impact the Future of Talent Management?: For talent managers, creating learning and change is as much about changing habits as it is about imparting skills or providing great experiences, writes Talent Management columnist John Boudreau.
2. How to Measure Engagement With a Stay Interview: Stay interviews are essentially informal conversations between managers and their direct reports — not to mention one of the most valuable measures of employee engagement out there. Talent Management editor Frank Kalman has more.
3. Five Recruiting Plays for Social Technologies: Organizations that want to win the war for talent need a playbook on how to take full advantage of social technologies. Here are five plays essential to success, writes Daniel Lipkin, vice president of technology at talent management services provider Saba.
4. Tips to Raise Up Global Leaders: Forget conventional wisdom and think differently when it comes to identifying and developing successful global leaders. Here's what forward-thinking organizations are doing, writes Brian Kropp, managing director of Corporate Executive Board.
5. Nine Ways to Make Top Performers Effective Managers: Top-performing individuals don't instantly become top-performing managers. To succeed, new managers require time, training and guidance, write Derek Finkelman and Jonathan Corke.
In Other News
The idea that teleworkers will feel less attached to the company they work for because of an isolation from co-workers is largely myth, according to a study out of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
The study, led by a communication researcher at the school, "examined how teleworkers' use of various forms of communication was related to their feelings of closeness to others as well as to feelings of stress due to interruptions," wrote Laura L. Hunt in an article covering the study on the school's website. "The study also tested how these outcomes of communication were associated with teleworkers' sense of identity as part of their organization."
The study found that more communication doesn't necessarily equal more organization identification for teleworkers. "In fact," the UW-Milwaukee article said, "the opposite was true, says Kathryn Fonner, UWM assistant professor of communication."
The study, co-authored with Michael Roloff, professor of communication studies at Northwestern University, appears in the June issue of Communication Monographs, published by the National Communication Association.
Managers: Please, Please Buy in to Telework
Despite the reported benefits of telework, managerial "buy-in" and acceptance remains one of the significant barriers to successful telework implementation, according to this blog post from the Conference Board Human Capital Exchange, which cites a number of recent research studies saying the rate of teleworkers has risen 2 percent of late.
"Some research shows, in particular, older managers on average express more reluctance toward teleworking compared to younger managers," wrote Amy Lui Abel and Gad Levanon in their June 11 blog post. "Managers struggle to understand how to make telecommuting arrangements effective and beneficial to both the team and the employee. Additionally, managers may not trust their employees enough to allow them to undertake teleworking arrangements."
For more information, check out their recent research report, "The Incredible Disappearing Office: Making Telework Work."

Part two of the Vurboffroad.com / One Industries Battalion Review took place just recently on the trails surrounding South Fork, Colorado. I was able to schedule out three days of trail riding that offered up some of the toughest conditions an off road rider could experience. When all was said and done I managed to log roughly 140-miles of pure pleasure; mixed with some of that good pain.
Rain clouds were present on the first day of the ride so I opted to include the Battalion jacket as part of my gear. I was little concerned about the heat as the temperature was closing in at 90 degrees, with about 40% humidity. The Battalion jacket is lightweight, yet has a heavy/thick fabric construction for durability, so in effort to keep cool I removed the sleeves, threw on a Camelbak and set my sights on the Alder Creek Trail.
Alder Creek can best be described as a 60-mile endurocross track in what I consider the most beautiful country one can explore. The trail runs between South Fork and Creed and is littered with jagged rock, hill climbs, creek crossings, downed timber, loose rock, off camber descents and a big ass brown bear. My first true test of the Battalion gear came by way of a get off that had me scrambling to regroup in a rock field with some bruised up ribs and a tattered elbow. If I had worn the sleeves that include inserted padding, I would have been feeling a little better. One of the first things that came to mind after yard sailing, was the fact the jacket was just thick enough to actually protect my ribs from further damage. If I had been wearing only a jersey, there is no doubt that I would have been cleaning a chest wound. So there I was, 20 minutes into my ride already grateful that I was wearing the ONE Industries Battalion gear. I normally ride without a jacket and to be honest, I won't be hitting the trails without it again.
Another thing that immediately caught my attention was the ease of zipping and unzipping while riding. The Battalion pant has vent zips above the knees that truly allowed my legs to breath and kept the sweat to a minimum, a huge advantage when spending that much time on the trail. On the second day of the ride I opted to ride with only a jersey, the sky was free of clouds and although we were tromping around at roughly 12K feet, the heat was a factor. I spent a lot of time that afternoon in the water crossings and this was the first time I had worn an over the boot pant. I had concern that water would make it into my boots and that the over the leg fit-feel would be foreign with the possibility of tangling in my front sprocket. I had no problem with the pant, the feel was normal and my feet stayed dry even after picking my bike out of the water on more than one occasion.
The last thing that I will point out in this review was the comfortable fit of the ONE Industries Atom helmet. Breathing is super important at this altitude and while resting with my riding buddies, I pointed out the good fit of my 100% Racecraft goggles and the breathability of the Atom. Not to forget that the Atom is lightweight and the fact that the bright red accents of the Atom Chroma allowed for my riding peers to see me when stranded beneath my bike or lagging behind on the trail.
Trail riding is all about preparation and gear plays a big role when venturing far from civilization. The Battalion gear is very adaptive allowing riders to purchase a set of gear that can be used in both winter and summer conditions. The design is clean, useful, and comfortable with plenty of storage pockets and front and rear ventilation offerings on both pant and jacket.
It's clear that the ONE Industries Battalion gear was designed for off road and I would recommend it to any of my peers, readers, or enthusiast of the sport.

Grades 6-8
Our Philosophy
Hawken Middle School is committed to serving the distinctive developmental needs of this age group. As students move through grades six through eight, they undergo physiological, social, cognitive and emotional changes, often entering as concrete thinkers and exiting with a far greater capacity for abstract and higher-order thinking. Our programs and curriculum nurture those changes, celebrating students as both individuals and valued community members. We attend closely to the development of character and intellect in each of our students, keeping their distinctive needs at the forefront of our collective decision making.
Acknowledging that the stages of emotional development and cognitive readiness vary among our students, we are committed to developing curricula that meets these needs at the individual readiness level. Every member of the learning community is held to high expectations. The Middle School is closely organized in grade level teams, crafting experienced and wholistic support at that particular level. Students explore topics in a practical way using the skills and knowledge they encounter to solve real world problems.
Aligned with these goals, the curriculum of every grade-level ties into an "essential question" that provides a greater level of depth and meaning to what students learn. These essential questions lead the students through experiences that ask them to relate what they learn to their own values, and the values of those around them:
6th Grade: How do my words and actions reveal my character?
7th Grade: How can I work to understand the perspectives of others?
8th Grade: How can I make a difference in the global community?
Central to the foundation upon which our curricula are built is a safe and caring learning environment where students are encouraged to take risks and explore new interests.
Academic Overview
The Middle School operates on principles and practices centered on the distinctive developmental needs of this age group. Each grade level within the Middle School is horizontally aligned to include a team of faculty, representing each of the traditional academic subject areas - English, history, math and science. These faculty team members serve as grade level advisors to small groups of students, supporting the individual needs of each student and also aligning curricula across the grade to address grade level essential questions. Integration across disciplines is common at each grade level, particularly as students engage in thoughtfully crafted units of study around key skills and learning objectives. This is particularly evident through English and history programs, which merge into a fully team- taught humanities program by the eighth grade. Annual learning style inventories are used by faculty, staff and even the students themselves, to help guide and differentiate curricular choices.
Experiential Learning Takes Root
The Middle School uses block scheduling to support horizontal autonomy, experiential learning opportunities, and greater depth in content and skill development. Students often travel off campus and make extensive use of the Gries Center to engage in integrated service learning projects. These service opportunities are an important way our students feel empowered to make a difference, and are often grass roots efforts.
To further expand our students' educational venues, each grade embarks on a Doorways trip in the spring, beginning with the 6th grade trip to Williamsburg. Traveling to various U.S. cities, including Washington D.C. and New York City, students are challenged to derive meaning from the living history and rich culture of each location, and to engage in the valuable opportunities that present themselves on each trip.
The Middle School journey for our students is marked by experiential traditions. Each grade level begins the year with activities and class trips that build class identity and introduce the year's essential question and focus. By the end of the 8th grade, the goal of "making a difference" fuses with writing and presentation standards in the form of the Chapel Talk. With thoughtful guidance and support, each student researches a topic of their choice, writes a formal four-page paper about the topic, and presents an eight-minute speech to the entire Middle School community.
Grade Level Highlights
Grade 6
Each year in Middle School, students participate in Doorways Trips, which are curriculum-based trips that serve as a culminating experience to students' intellectual and personal growth. In 6th Grade, this first Doorways experience takes students to Williamsburg, VA. In art class, 6th Graders create a colonial portrait accompanied by a short historical fiction piece. Additionally, students conduct a Williamsburg pottery project in which they learn to create inkwells, oil lamps, and other such utilitarian objects used in colonial America.
Grade 7
Along with a performance at the Great Lakes Theater Workshop, 7th Grade students complete a Mock Court unit which is an authentic and community based exercise that culminates in a simulation of a 4th Amendment-related evidentiary hearing in front of real judges.
Grade 8
In addition to the culminating Doorways New York City Urban Outward Bound Experience, 8th Grade students conduct a scientific study of the Chagrin River that results in real data being submitted to the state to help monitor the health of the river. In the spring, students in 8th Grade have the opportunity to participate in a service learning Internship Program with established local partners for three days; students give formal grant presentations to the service organizations and distribute designated philanthropic funds.

Chapel Talks
A Chapel Talk is a nine-minute speech delivered by each 8th grader to the entire Hawken Middle School student body and faculty, as well as the speaker's family and special friends.
Students are encouraged to select issue-oriented topics in an area of their interest. Research in a variety of sources ensues, a thesis statement is formulated, and the student forms an opinion that is proven in the speech. The skills of drafting, revising, and editing are emphasized during the Chapel Talk research process. After the research is completed, the student concentrates on the oral presentation.
This year Chapel Talks are scheduled from October 28, 2013 through May 22, 2014. A Hawken tradition, the Chapel Talk is an eighth grade rite of passage vividly remembered by Hawken alumni.

In the press materials accompanying Let Me Come Home, the second full-length from Scottish indie-rock band Broken Records, there's a quote, attributed to some unspecified member of the band, that goes like this: "We're trying to do something different. People forget that music doesn't have to be just bass, guitar and drums. It can be just as loud and exciting with glockenspiel and trumpet." This is stupid, of course: people don't really forget that at all, and they haven't for years. From Okkervil River to the Decemberists to Sufjan Stevens, there's been no shortage of indie rock bands, and really high profile ones at that, proving beyond any shadow of a doubt that you can turn a lot of heads with instruments not typically associated with rock and roll. If you remember, a little Canadian band called Arcade Fire even had a number one record doing the very same thing just last year. From the sound of Let Me Come Home, Broken Records remember quite clearly.
They're definitely after the high-drama and constant promise of catharsis that have endeared Arcade Fire to so many people, and every now and then, as on "A Leaving Song" or "You Know You're Not Dead", they achieve it. But they also spend a lot of time lumbering through characterless, mid-tempo alt-rock that sounds hopelessly indebted to some off-putting combination of Kings of Leon and The Killers. There's a really likable, expertly rendered world-weariness that pops up here and there, on tracks like "Dia dos Namorados!," and it's sad proof that they've missed the mark on the whole by concerning themselves with the pursuit of "loud and exciting" at all.

Follow updates of Irvington's championship game on Twitter: @MSGVarsityKDJ
ALBANY, N.Y. — Irvington's journey through the postseason the last three seasons has been marked by a host of lopsided games. But on the eve of what the players consider their biggest game of all, they finally got the test they've been looking for.
The Bulldogs outlasted a physical and aggressive Cardinal O'Hara squad 74-57 in the Class B Federation tournament on Friday, setting up a championship grudge match with Long Island Lutheran on Saturday back at the Times-Union Center.
"I had heard that (Cardinal O'Hara) were big, they were strong, they were deep and that they'd come to play," Irvington coach Gina Maher said. "They believed they could beat us and they took us out of our game in the first half. But we showed our mettle as a team."
Irvington and LuHi have met in the title game the last two seasons. Irvington won in 2010. LuHi rallied from a 15-point fourth quarter deficit to win last year.
"Tomorrow is the biggest game we've played in a long time," Irvington senior Marley Giddins said.
Irvington must play far better than it did on Friday, a game it led by single-digits most of the way before breaking it open in the fourth.
The Bulldogs sealed it at the line. They made 40 of 55 free throws in the game (74-percent), including 26 of 32 in the second half.
Lexi Martins had 14 of her 24 points in the third quarter and finished with 16 rebounds and four blocks. Brittni Lai added 21 points, nine steals, seven assists and six rebounds. Giddins had 20 points on 7-of-10 shooting with 10 rebounds.
The Bulldogs, though, were erratic from the start, turning the ball over 27 times. Many of the turnovers came in transition as they admittedly tried to play at too fast a pace early on.
"In the first half, we'd get into an offensive set and we just wouldn't run it," Giddins said. "We weren't patient. We'd tried to make a crazy pass at the beginning of a play and we weren't really settled. We talked at halftime about being up and playing our worst basketball."
"We pushed the ball way too much and we didn't get into our offense," Maher said. "We didn't have a lot of touches, and when we do that we're in trouble."
Martins settled things down in the third, taking over the game in the post. Irvington also got great second-half contributions from sophomore Lauren Chafizadeh, who had six points and solid defense off the bench.
"Lauren Chaf today saved us," Maher said. "I took her out with a minute to go so I could tell her that we're taking the next step because of her. I thought she played great."
After watching LuHi dominate PSAL champion Scholars Academy in the tournament's opening game, Irvington understands it heads into Saturday's final an underdog.
"I would say so," Giddins said. "But I kind of like that. There's no pressure on us. We have nothing to lose. It's our last game of the season. We're going to be playing our best basketball, hopefully."

Capabilities and Experience
Sevenson is one of a few remedial action contractors with roots in general construction. This general construction background enables Sevenson to look at a particular site remediation project from a practical, operations oriented point of view. This often leads to ideas for cost savings through modest changes in the project plan which can yield significant cost savings. As a hands-on contractor, Sevenson prefers the greater operational control of performing a project with its own forces as opposed to using subcontractors. Consistent with this policy, Sevenson owns and maintains its own fleet of traditional and specialty construction and marine equipment.

"Cool" in General Society
Dick Hebdige, Subculture: The Meaning of Style (1979):
The mods invented a style which enabled them to negotiate smoothly between school, work and leisure, and which concealed as much as it stated. Quietly disrupting the orderly sequence which leads from signifier to signified, the mods undermined the conventional meaning of 'collar, suit and tie', pushing neatness to the point of absurdity. . . . (p. 52)
Somewhere on the way home from school or work, the mods went 'missing': they were absorbed into a 'noonday underground' (Wolfe, 1969) of cellar clubs, discotheques, boutiques and record shops which lay hidden beneath the 'straight world' against which it was ostensibly defined. (p. 53)
"Gidget Digit" (Stephanie Klein), "Sabotage: The Ultimate Video Game" (from Bad Attitude: The "Processed World" Anthology, 1990)
What office worker hasn't thought of dousing the keyboard of her word processor with a cup of steaming coffee, hurling her modular telephone handset through the plate glass window of her supervisor's cubicle, or torching the stack of input forms waiting in her in-box with a "misplaced" cigarette? The impulse to sabotage the work environment is probably as old as wage-labor itself, perhaps older. [ . . . ]
The current upsurge in the use of computerized business machines has added fuel to the fire, so to speak. Word processors, remote terminals, data phones, and high speed printers are only a few of the new breakable gadgets that are coming to dominate the modern office. Designed for control and surveillance, they often appear as the immediate source of our frustration. Damaging them is a quick way to vent anger or to gain a few extra minutes of "downtime." (p. 59)
