Corporate 401k Advisory Services
As a premier provider of corporate 401k advisory services, we partner with businesses as 401k co-fiduciary* advisors to help manage risk on new and existing plans. As Registered Investment Advisors, our initial focus is to maximize the value of the plan by reducing costs, eliminate hidden fees, and enhance the plan's investment options which ultimately save employees money. We specialize in enhancing existing plans by examining the asset lineup, related administrator fees, mutual fund fees, and identifying opportunities for improvement — without the need to change providers.
Subsequently, through our corporate 401k advisory services, we recommend high-value, low-cost investment options which create better retirement outcomes for employees. Through ongoing quarterly meetings, we work closely with the 401k committee to evaluate and improve all aspects of the plan including investment performance and pricing, plan sponsor services, employee allocations, and participation rates.
*This is typically referred to as an ERISA 3(21) co-fiduciary relationship
- Shared Fiduciary Responsibility
- High Value, Low Cost Investment Options
- Employee Education / Financial Wellness
- Transparent Pricing
In addition to partnering with management, our corporate 401k advisory services provide second to none education services to employees, offering financial planning and advice to which they may not otherwise have access. In both group and individual settings, we discuss the benefits of investing in an appropriate allocation for their own retirement planning in plain-English — in a relatable, articulate format.
Smart business owners are providing holistic retirement advice, investment training, and financial wellness programs to their employees. As they develop greater understanding of their fiduciary responsibility, many realize that they may not have the expertise or time to dedicate to maintain compliance with evolving DOL and ERISA regulations (see a 401k fiduciary checklist here). By engaging us and our corporate 401k advisory services, management can have peace of mind knowing that they have offset their fiduciary duty, and their employees have a clear roadmap to a financially healthy retirement.
We Offer Company Management
- Quarterly Meetings with the 401k Committee to evaluate and improve all aspects of your plan
- Creation of and sign-off on your Investment Policy Statement (IPS)
- Co-Fiduciary Relationship – as a fiduciary, we are honored to be held to the very highest standard of the law, and always provide advice in your best interest.
- Transparent Pricing for our services. As a fee-only advisor, you will have no questions about how we are compensated.
- Peace of mind that you are offsetting your fiduciary responsibility and offering your employees a clear path to a successful retirement.
We Help You Offer Your Employees:
- A healthy, robust 401k lineup
- An additional HR/Employee Benefit of retained investment advisors
- Investment Options with great track records
- Employee Education, Financial Wellness, and Financial Planning services that are second to none.
We seek to improve your employees' retirement outcomes through education, proper 401k fund allocations, and increased savings.

Performance Stress - Taming Your Trading Monsters
"What's wrong with me? Why can't I do what I'm supposed to do? I keep telling myself to stay calm and patient – let the trade come to me. But, before I know it, I've jumped into a trade that, I recognize later was never a possibility in my plan.
But I did it anyway. And, of course, it goes downhill after that. Then, I get gun shy and hesitate to take trades that are valid set ups. It's frustrating. I know what to do, but when I'm really in the act of trading, I fall apart."

The Process of Becoming an Entrepreneurial Trader
You might ask, ''If I am stuck in the Technical Trader's Trap, how will I get out of it? And how do I turn myself into an Entrepreneurial Trader?'' Or in other words, ''How do I transform myself from a Frustrated Technical Junkie into a Successful Entrepreneurial Trader?''
First of all, make sure you have entered the trading business for the right reasons.
It is true that successful trading can reward you with more money for less work and an independent lifestyle, but you need to understand that trading is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It takes hard work and dedication to get there.Read More

Day Trading and Algorithmic Trading in Futures
Whether you like them or hate them, day traders and algorithmic system traders, commonly referred to as "algos," are here to stay. Both groups of traders bring additional liquidity to the marketplace, which is a positive. However, some would argue that the baggage they bring with them isn't worth the additional liquidity. It is no secret that highly day traded markets such as the e-mini S&P experience additional volatility throughout the last hour of the trading session as day traders square their positions. In addition, it is difficult to deny that algo traders haven't created a marketplace that sees severely abnormal prices at a relatively higher frequency. Nevertheless, the new challenges posed by aggressive day traders and high-frequency traders via computer algorithms aren't all that different from the obstacles faced by traders during the heyday of open outcry trading; the antagonists are simply wearing a different mask.Read More

Top 10 Tax Deductions For Active Traders
Active traders qualifying for trader tax status (TTS) maximize these deductions in the following ways:
1. Home-office (HO) deductions
Use the square footage or rooms method to allocate every expense of your home including mortgage interest, real estate taxes, rent, utilities, repairs and maintenance, insurance and depreciation. The IRS limits use of HO expenses by requiring business income to offset the deduction, except for the mortgage interest and real estate tax portion. Link the HO Form 8829 to TTS trading gains or transfer some to Schedule C to unlock the HO deduction. If you have trading losses, carry over unallowed HO deductions to subsequent tax year(s). Converting personal home expenses to business use is great.

Habits of a Successful Trader
Whether you are new to trading or a seasoned veteran, every trader has bad habits that they would like to change. Some habits are buried deep within and need to be brought to the surface so they can be identified and changed. A good way to identify and change habits that are affecting your trading is to look at the habits of successful traders. While reading this chapter, do a self-analysis of your habits by comparing them against the habits of successful traders. As you identify habits that you would like to change, write them down and describe what action you will take to change these habits. Then take the actions that you describe.Read More

How to Enhance Your Returns and Minimize Your Risk with Options
Hedging Your Long Term Portfolio with Put Options
Would you drive a car without insurance? Would you even think of owning a home without insurance? Most people buy insurance to protect their investments from loss. One never wants to collect on a policy, but buying insurance is prudent, regardless. Options, like insurance policies, can be used to limit risk.
Professionals believe that the only way one can safely be in the market for the long haul is by being hedged. Put options can be used as an insurance policy to protect stock or mutual fund holdings. As a good rule-of-thumb, when you buy stock or mutual funds, you should buy puts. Buying puts to hedge a stock position is referred to by the professionals as "married puts." You will learn at TheoTrade how to hedge a mutual fund by using index options. A mutual fund is a basket of stocks, as is an index. You should buy enough puts to cover your long stock position. (Remember, one put contract gives the holder the right to sell 100 shares of the underlying stock, at the strike price, before the expiration date.) By purchasing puts, you minimize the potential loss on a stock or mutual fund, should it decline in price.Read More

The Tried, True and Tested Over Time Technique for Minimizing Risk While Maximizing Reward
There are 2 ratios that dominate professional traders' thinking:
- The win/loss ratio of their trades.
- The risk/reward ratio of their trades.
Notice that I intentionally worded each bullet point above with the words "of their trades." It may seem practical and objective to back test a trading system to determine these ratios, but what's more realistic is to trade a method yourself over a significant, statistically significant number of trades, record your actual real-world results, and use these numbers as your own win/loss and risk/reward ratios.
I know traders who play one game or the other.Read More


text: What to plant this weekend… October 10, 2009 Ok, it's been rainy, but the weekend is supposed to be nice. That means you have nice soft moist soil just waiting to be planted. So what can you plant right now? Well, a bunch of stuff! Any of the cole crops, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower and the like. You can plant from transplants and you might still have time to go ahead and start some from direct seeding as well. Swiss chard, kale, collard and mustard greens (transplant or seed). Salad greens can be direct seeded right now. Also, direct seed radishes, beets, turnips and carrots. The weather is perfect for their quick germination. It's also the perfect time to plant cool season herbs like dill, parsley, cilantro and fennel. Garlic! Don't forget your garlic. The month of October is the perfect time to get your garlic cloves planted. Separate, but do not peel, the individual cloves. Plant about 1-inch deep and several inches apart. You'll harvest bulbs in late Spring. You can plant onions from seed right now, but not from slips or sets. You'll plant those in January. Oh, and don't forget your fava beans. direct seed those in garden now. It's a bit too late to seed peas...they really need to go in the ground in early September.Here is some Swiss chard in my garden that I seeded back in August and then again in September.

Best Plan for Visiting Plitvice Lakes in Croatia
Jason Daniel Shaw
Plitvice Lakes is a place that you can see more waterfalls in a day than you have seen collectively in all of your life! When planning our trip to Croatia, I knew that this place MUST make the list. It can be done as a day trip out of Zadar or Zagreb but I will give you a tip to maximize your time and reduce the amount of people you have to share the park with down below.
Instagram has taken over the world of travel inspiration and it is how I learned about this amazing place. However, when it comes to actually planning a trip, I turn to blogs and travel articles. When searching the internet for information on Plitvice Lakes, I came across an article written by Earth Trekkers (they captured the beauty of the park in photos much better than I did) and decided to give it a try. We entered the park at Entrance 1 and followed Program C that they recommended. I will let you read more about it on their site as we had a fantastic day following their advice. In addition to Program C, at the end of the day, we visited the Veliki Slap viewpoint, the postcard viewpoint and walked the stairs back down to the first waterfall. Each spot was incredible!
You will do quite a bit of walking, some in the shade and some in the sun so come prepared. There will also be a lot of stairs and inclines to climb and descend. When the park is empty, the floating boardwalks are like a dream winding through the turquoise waters.
The only downside was the massive amounts of people. They do recommend getting there when the park opens as the crowds are much lighter. The crowds also thinned out later in the day. So, my suggestion would be to arrive in the afternoon and enter the park later in the afternoon (which has a reduced cost) and see either the upper or the lower lakes. Stay at a hotel near the park (Entrance 1 or Entrance 2) and then visit at opening and see the other half. The park is truly spectacular without the crowds. With the hoards of people, it kind of loses something. But it is absolutely still worth visiting either way.
If you want to follow along with our 25-day wedding / honeymoon trip, you can see more of our adventures in Malta, Italy, the Vatican, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Montenegro.

Letter from PLC LEADER 2020 and Educator D2 Gauteng West (Clive van Staden)
I would as an educator and as a PLC leader endorse this ICT resource to any school that wishes to use more than just a textbook. The interactive E-books and videos had a huge effect academically on my learners. Just in term 1 marks dramatically improved. The system also makes life easier for the educator as most of the administration work is already done for them. This results in better lesson preparation and delivery. All round I give this program a 10/10. The full ATP is covered. This I personally verified. The full CAPS curriculum is covered. This we have also verified.
Schools using our product say they cannot be without it! This will be your best investment for your school. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the Covid-19 outbreak and we hope that this will go some way towards helping.

I've been a patient of Dr. Aviv's for a few years now and I'm so happy I found him! He's a fabulous doctor! I was doctoring with several doctors prior to seeing Dr. Aviv and no one could find out what was wrong with me. My first visit with him, he knew exactly what my issue was. Not only was he able to help me, I brought my mom to see him for a spot on her sinus that was found on an x-ray from a different doctor. He then sent my mom to a sinus specialist and I can't thank him enough. He saved my mom's life as she ended up having a large tumor growing in her sinus attaching to the skull. Dr. Aviv is extremely knowledgeable, very caring and an overall fantastic doctor!

Dr. Hekiert treated me for sudden hearing loss and was fantastic. She was knowledgeable, compassionate, extremely responsive and took the time to explain my treatment options. When other practices had waiting periods for weeks, ENT and Allergy Associates recognized the urgency for treatment and saw me right away. I can't say enough about the great work (and people) I've found at this practice. I recovered 100% of my hearing after being totally deaf in one ear... Highly recommended.

I have been a patient of Dr. Zelman for more than twenty five years. He has performed both major and minor surgeries on my ears many times. I trust him in every way - he never " sugar coats " anything…He is ALWAYS ON POINT……He pauses, listens, understands and solves…When I was in need (even when he was off ) he would tell me to meet him at his office so he could help me….Not a kinder , dedicated or more generous man in the world…. THANK YOU DR. ZELMAN for the humanitarian that you are!

I went to Dr. Burachinsky for a bleeding nose and removing Rhino Rockets. He explained everything in clear and simple terms. He was able describe the medical details and his explanations put me as ease with the entire procedure. My overall experience was great and I would recommend Dr. Burachinsky to anyone for any of their ENT needs.

I had a very pleasant experience from start to finish when I had Restylane Injections performed to my face by Dr. Brys. To my surprise the procedure was actually painless. Dr. Brys was not only professional but very knowledgeable and she made me feel extremely comfortable. The compliments I received from my family and friends just confirmed that I did the right thing. There is a noticeable difference that makes me look & feel years younger. The lines & wrinkles around my mouth were greatly reduced & I could not be happier. Thanks to Dr. Brys, I am loving the "younger" looking me. I would not hesitate to go back to her for any other cosmetic concerns that I may have.

I have been going to this practice for years and have always felt-well treated. The doctors all take their time (that may be why they often run behind), and get the correct prognosis and remedy. On my last visit, I thought I had an ear ache, turns out it was TMJ. Dr. Bergstein gave me some corrective measures and my TMJ is better!
12/01/2015 Yelp User
Dr. Keenan was very professional, attentive and caring. She removed a huge piece of wax that hardened in my ear canal. She followed up, and made me feel like I was her only patient. It was appreciated. I will happily return to her for future medical needs.

Dr. Fishman listened to me, made the correct diagnosis and performed the balloon sinuplasty operation on me. A month later, I am still breathing through my nose, a miracle.

Dr. Blank diagnosed our son's condition after several other doctors couldn't. He relieved our son of a great deal of discomfort. He jokes to make children comfortable but there is never any doubt he is serious about his work.

Dr. Bergstein and his assistant Melinda are very professional. They always welcome you and are so very friendly. They take time to listen to you and make you feel comfortable. I cannot ask for a better doctor.

I am a patient of Dr. Brody's. She has been nothing but wonderful. She performed sinus surgery on me, and has kept me thoroughly involved/educated every step of the way. I would trust her with anything I need, and not just encourage my friends and family to go there, but drive them to her to ensure they go! I'm not a Yelper, but if this helps anyone find someone they trust to help with something as intimate as your sense of smell, I had to weigh in on her demeanor and expertise.

I have visited Dr. Aronzon on three separate occasions. Each of those times I have found her to be both a caring and insightful professional. Contrary to another reviewer she was quite conservative in her recommendation and even went out of her way to avoid unneeded procedures. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of ENT related treatment.
11/18/2015 Yelp User
Dr. Lazar spends as much time with patients as she needs to get an accurate diagnosis-she doesn't throw a prescription at you and tell you to call back if you don't get better. I went to my family doctor's office 4 times for the same problem - each time seeing a different doctor and none of them did what Dr. Lazar did. Dr. Lazar took down the history of my problem and the medications I had taken for it, scoped my sinus cavity, took a culture, sent me for a sinus MRI, and referred me to see the allergist (part of her practice), and promised me she would get to the bottom of my endlessly ongoing problem. Between her and Dr. Comacho (allergist), my allergies were, are continue to be, controlled, and the infections that had taken hold were cleared…I'm happy that I found Dr. Lazar, am willing to wait if necessary, and I know I'm receiving excellent care from her.

I have suffered from chronic sinus problems for years. Dr. Messenger is a fantastic doctor that takes time and helps to get you an understanding of the problem and your best courses of treatment. A big thank you to Dr. Messenger and his team.
11/17/2015 Yelp User
ENT and Allergy Associates were excellent. Dr. Messenger was comforting and absolutely made me feel at ease when performing the needed service. The staff was helpful and very meticulous in calling in advance of my appointment and following up with the insurance company.

After being told by Sloan Kettering that my entire thyroid needed to be removed due to suspicion of cancer, I fortunately listened to Alyssa and Dr. Cohen and had half my thyroid out and it was not cancer. I am so grateful to both of them for their efforts and excellence. Highly recommend both amazing professionals.

Dr. Ciecko is amazing. I cannot say enough wonderful things about him. Dr. Ciecko has a wonderful bedside manner and spends a lot of time with his you and explains things to you in a way that you can understand. I would highly recommend him.

Background: Human stature and sex determination are significant data that can and should be used in criminal profiling in the human identification processes. Teeth are widely used in investigations because of their properties of resistance and uniqueness. Aims: The present study aimed to verify, by means of dental anthropometry, the correlation of these with the stature and sex. Materials and Methods: Measurements of linear (mid distal and incisor cervical) dental measurements were performed on the upper right teeth of Brazilians, aged between 18 and 30 years, being 100 male and 100 female participants. Linear dental measurements were measured with a digital caliper and stature was measured with a stadiometer. For the statistical analysis, the IBM® SPSS® 25 Statistics program was used. Kolmogorov–Smirnov, Pearson correlation, and Stepwise-Forward (Wald) logistic regression analyses were applied to sex determination and stature estimation. Results: The results indicated that all measures performed are dimorphic, but that lateral incisor and canine tooth measurements are statistically significant with a P ≤ 0.001. The obtained model allows for sexing with 70.5% accuracy, being able to be used in anthropological studies in Brazilians. Conclusion: It can be concluded that dental measurements are useful tools to identify gender and the canine measurements also showed a strong and proportional correlation with stature, but it was not possible to establish a mathematical model for this.

Former Ball State diver Zach Whitaker always wanted to give back to the program that helped shape his adult life.
Until last month, he never had the opportunity to. In an August taping of The Price is Right, Whitaker won several prizes, including $25,000 and a new car on the televised game show.
Shortly after winning on the show, Whitaker immediately knew he would finally be able to give back to the Ball State men's swimming and diving program.
"It was pretty quick for me," Whitaker said. "[Giving back to the program] was an easy decision, and something I've wanted to do for a while, but have never been in a financial position to do that and so this coming along was just perfect."
Whitaker dove for Ball State from 2003-07 and went to graduate school in Muncie for two years after finishing his time as a collegiate athlete.
Earlier this month, Whitaker came back to Muncie for a few hours while in the area for his brother's wedding. It was his first time back on campus since he left graduate school nearly a decade ago and moved out to California.
"It was nice to come back, because that was the first time I had been back since I graduated and moved," Whitaker said. "That was the first time I had gotten to see everything and be on campus and it brought back a lot of memories."
Whitaker's gift to the program was $1,000, a long wanted and much-needed mini refrigerator for the team's locker room and cases of Gatorade to stock it.
Head coach Bob Thomas was grateful for Whitaker's generosity back to the men's swimming and diving program, which unlike other programs on campus, awards no scholarships to its student athletes.
"I think it says a lot about the individual, just that he's still young, just out of college, living in California and here he's on a game show and obviously gets lucky and is willing to give back a portion of that, which I think is just phenomenal," Thomas said.
Thomas is in his 39th season coaching the men's swim program at Ball State. The culture that he has built throughout his time here with the program has certainly reflected on Whitaker.
"The culture that coach Thomas has built is amazing," Whitaker said. "I started at Ball State back in 2003 and I came in not knowing if there was going to be a team, because back then they were trying to eliminate the swimming program altogether. So coach Thomas and Laura Caudill, the women's coach at the time, were able to rally together and save the team."
Thomas was humbled to accept Whitaker's gift, which he says the program will put to good use.
"He feels that [this program] definitely made a difference in his life and he wanted to somehow give back, and this a big way to give back," Thomas said.

Many thanks to those who came out on a blustery evening for the Salt Water Media book signing on Friday. It was so good to speak to readers and friends. Sharon, Colbi, Amy, Chris, Tim and a host of Becca's friends made the evening a great one. Stephanie and Patty of Salt Water--you are terrific!
If anyone wants a signed copy of either novel, write me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The ESWA meeting on Saturday(10/10) was a fine one at the Easton Club to roll out the 7th edition of The Delmarva Review. Great introductions to the contents of this ambitious volume (200 pages!) and intrigue build particularly by George Merrill concerning the diverse offerings under the essay moniker.
We are discussing ESWA appearances at area book festivals and professional conferences. Gaithersburg is hopefully our next venture out in May.
I am entertaining ideas for a writer's retreat weekend during the doldrums of winter after the Christmas holidays. After every workshop I attend, I want to simply sit and write. The ideas swirl and gather during these events, but real life intrudes too quickly with dinner preparations, dog walks and homework. How about a weekend off the phone, the internet, laundry and stove to discuss narrative creation with other fellow scribblers? Why not wallow a bit?
Book Signing and WYPR
Come to Salt Water Media on Broad Street in beautiful Berlin tomorrow night 5-7pm for the Art Stroll and a book signing for Finding Home and Return to Lilac Hill.
Come to the signing and imbibe with us after at one of Berlins fine restaurants--the Globe, Si Culi or The Atlantic Hotel.
Wonderful news--WYPR--National Public Radio right out of my hometown Baltimore is interested in an interview about ESWA. I love The Signal, among the other fine programming they offer. The app is free and streams live. What a treat! Thanks to James Cooper for tuning me in to the wealth of podcasts available through NPR.

Brown-SMU Preview
Despite the dark cloud of a postseason ban looming over the program and coach Larry Brown suspended until mid-December, SMU is off to a solid start.
Ranked for the first time this season, the No. 25 Mustangs look to improve to 4-0 Sunday against visiting Brown.
On Sept. 29, the NCAA announced it banned SMU from all 2015-16 postseason play and suspended Brown nine games after concluding he lied to investigators, ignored academic fraud and fell far short of expectations in leading his staff when it came to compliance. It's the third time in as many college coaching jobs that the 75-year-old Brown has faced NCAA sanctions.
"I know (the team is) going to do the very best they can, and I'm really comfortable in that regard,'' said Brown, who can return after SMU's Dec. 17 game against Hampton.
"But it's never easy watching people you care about.''
The Mustangs made the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1993 while going 27-7 last season, but will play their last game of this one at Cincinnati on March 6.
Brown's assistant Tom Jankovich, a former head coach at North Texas and Illinois State, is guiding the team in his absence. Expected to be Brown's successor at SMU, Jankovich has been pleased from the start with how these players have handled the situation while leaving it all on the court.
"I think that's the way you need to play the game, with heart," Jankovich said. "I have a lot of faith in these players. They're good people, but at the same time we're playing under unusual circumstances."
Senior guard Nic Moore (12.0 points per game) leads five players averaging at least 11 points for the Mustangs, who have shot 56 percent and held their first three opponents to 38.5.
"We still go off of coach Brown's principals," forward Jordan Tolbert said. "Everybody knows what we're suppose to do. It's like coach Brown is here in spirit."
The preseason pick to repeat as American Athletic Conference player of the year, Moore also knows he must step up his leadership to help the Mustangs collectively get through this unique season.
''Just basically keep the team together,'' he said. ''When thoughts get bad, wash them thoughts away and just come back as a team.''
Facing their second straight Ivy League opponent, the Mustangs hope for a more complete effort than last Sunday's 71-69 win over Yale. SMU trailed by eight at the break after the Bulldogs went 6 of 10 from 3-point range. However, it held Yale to 35.7 percent shooting from the field in the final 20 minutes and scored 23 points off 16 turnovers overall to hold on.
Brown (1-4) has allowed an average of 85.7 points on 52.8 percent shooting while losing to Niagara, Providence and New Hampshire.
"I know we can be better and I expect us to improve as the season progresses," Brown coach Mike Martin said after Tuesday's 88-77 loss to New Hampshire.
Senior Cedric Kuakumensah averages team highs of 11.2 points and 10.4 rebounds.
Taking on its first ranked opponent since losing at then-No. 22 Notre Dame in December 2012, Brown fell 60-56 in overtime at SMU in the only previous meeting Jan. 6, 2007.
The Mustangs have won 20 straight nonconference home games against unranked teams.

EXCLUSIVE: Channel Seven's 'Mr Nice Guy' sues the TV network for a payout after he was quietly boned after 20 years – in contrast to the celebrated departure of his Sunrise couch buddy Melissa Doyle
- Veteran Channel Seven presenter Simon Reeve has launched court action
- Reeve, 59, was axed by the network in June amid the economic downturn
- Daily Mail understands he's suing for an unspecified termination payout
- Seven will be defending the payout and will argue he has 'changed his tune'
- Network celebrated his ex-Sunrise couch buddy Mel when she left this month
When Sunrise presenter Melissa Doyle became the latest casualty of cost-cutting at Channel Seven, both the TV star and network executives issued statements praising one another.
But things weren't so rosy for other well-known faces caught up in the network's recent axings.
Doyle's one-time buddy on the Sunrise couch, presenter Simon Reeve, is suing Seven in the Federal Court after he was boned in June.
Lawyers for Reeve, 59 – the sports presenter on Weekend Sunrise and host of Million Dollar Minute and It's Academic – filed a statement of claim late last week.
Simon Reeve worked for Channel Seven for 20 years when he was axed earlier this year – and is now suing in the Federal Court. Above, in the Sunrise studio with Angela Cox and Sally Bowrey
Reeve (above with Larry Emdur and Monique Wright) has been the sports presenter on Weekend Sunrise for about a decade but hasn't appeared on screen since March
Reeve mostly recently hosted It's Academic, Million Dollar Minute and the sport on Weekend Sunrise
Reeve, known as one of the network's 'nice guys', had been with Seven for two decades in one role or another when he was shown the door – as the economic downturn ravages Australian TV businesses.
Daily Mail Australia understands the presenter's lawsuit is about entitlements he believes should have been paid out when he was let go.
At the heart of the legal dispute is whether he was an employee of Seven – as Reeve argues he was – or an independent contractor at the time.
Seven will be defending the case and is expected to argue Reeve had 'changed his tune' on being a contractor after being axed.
No dollar figure has been placed on the lawsuit.
It sets the stage for what could be the highest-profile court stoush Seven has faced since the network and former CEO Tim Worner's executive assistant Amber Harrison sued one another in 2017.
Both Seven and Reeve's lawyers declined to comment, with a court date yet to be set.
It has been a year of bloodshed in the TV industry with big names shown the door at both Seven and Network 10.
By far the biggest departure so far is Doyle's. She issued a statement upon her departure where she singled out Seven chairman Kerry Stokes for his support.
Reeve regularly worked on Sunrise and was a regular presence when Mel and Kochie were on the couch. Above, the trio together in 2013 – with Kochie the only survivor
Reeve has been on and off Channel Seven for the past 40 years. Above, he poses with longtime colleagues Doyle and Kylie Gillies at a Seven Christmas party in 2007
Reeve, far right, was a long term contributor to Weekend Sunrise but is understood to be living on the Gold Coast
'For 25 years, I have called Channel 7 home,' she said. 'I've had the privilege to share stories that mattered, meet incredible people and be there for significant moments in history.
Melissa Doyle and Seven executives exchanged gushing statements when she left the building
'I am incredibly proud of the work I have done and appreciative of the trust and warmth our viewers have shown me.
'I want to thank the consummate professionals I have worked with along the way, in particular our chairman Kerry Stokes for his constant support.
'I leave Seven with a great deal of pride, satisfaction and gratitude.'
Seven CEO James Warburton thanked the former Sunrise host for 'everything she's done for the Seven Network.'
'Melissa has deserved every success that's come her way'.
There was no such song and dance for Reeve – who started his career at Seven in Western Australia in 1979.
Meanwhile, Ten has axed state-based bulletins in Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth, as well as legendary weatherman Tim Bailey – who worked there for 29 years.

This Sunday (10 December), a night shelter opens at the Brighton Centre providing places for 30 people who are rough sleeping in the city.
The places at the shelter will be allocated from referrals by outreach workers from St Mungo's and BHT (Brighton Housing Trust). People eligible for places have been contacted by outreach workers.
The outreach workers will also offer support to those staying at the shelter, linking them to services and sources of support across Brighton & Hove. The night shelter will run from 10 December 2017 until February 2018. Work is ongoing to find a suitable place for the shelter to run through to March 2018.
The location of the shelter is close to key support services where residents can go for facilities, such as showers, meals and help for their longer term needs.
The funding for the night shelter was agreed at Budget Council earlier this year. Councillors from the three parties on the council have been working together to find a suitable venue and open the shelter during the winter months.
Cllr Clare Moonan, Labour councillor and lead councillor for rough sleeping, Cllr Robert Nemeth, Conservative, and Cllr David Gibson, Green, have been meeting regularly to organise the plans for the shelter.
Announcing the shelter last month, the councillors explained: "We know residents in the city are rightly concerned about people living rough, especially at this time of year when the weather can be extreme. The shelter is one of many ways we are providing help and working with partners to keep people safe and warm this winter. This shelter will help many rough sleepers to sleep at night and provide a safe place to go as the temperatures drop."
This evening (Friday 8 December) the SWEP (Severe Weather Emergency Protocols) shelter is also open following cold weather forecasts. The SWEP is a severe weather shelter which opens in extreme weather conditions. The service is run by staff, including managers, from day services. Due to the complex needs of some clients, we only use experienced staff. When the shelter opens, staff work very long hours to care for those in need and this is not sustainable long term.
The Churches Night Shelter also provides a place to stay overnight by referral from local partners to add to the support available for rough sleepers.
Anyone concerned about a rough sleeper should contact Streetlink. The Streetlink team shares information with outreach workers and the details are used to help connect the person to local services and support.
Rough sleeping in the city
This year's rough sleeper review has shown a rise in the number of people living on the streets in our city. The official estimate for this winter is confirmed as 178 rough sleepers in Brighton & Hove, a rise of around 20 per cent from last year's figure of 144.
Cllr Clare Moonan, lead councillor for rough sleeping, said: "There is a national housing crisis and the local increase in rough sleeping is part of a shocking broader trend. As a council, we're looking at how established and innovative ways can help all those in need in our city, for example by opening a night shelter in our conference centre during the winter months.
"It's a huge challenge. We're seeing more vulnerable people sleeping rough on our streets at a time when funding from government is being dramatically reduced, which is having an impact on services. We can't tackle this alone so we're linking with partners and embracing community support to see positive change.
"At the same time, there are many services already in place which are doing a fantastic job and we need to remember how much higher the number of rough sleepers would be without the dedication of all involved. Yet while there is anyone sleeping rough in the city there is still more we can and will do.
The scale of the support being provided is not always apparent when looking at the sadly familiar sight of people sleeping rough."
Each week the city's outreach workers, commissioned by the council, are dealing with up to 30 new cases of rough sleeping, all needing individual assessment and support.
Since the last rough sleeping estimate was carried out in 2016, the council's outreach service has worked with more than 1,200 people needing support because they are rough sleeping.
During the same time frame, the council's housing services have helped more than 2,000 residents who considered themselves to be at risk of imminent homelessness to either remain in their existing accommodation or gain alternative accommodation for at least the next six months. This preventative approach offers reassurance in a time of uncertainty and avoids more people ending up in dire need on the streets.
The services and organisations are working increasingly collaboratively across the city to be more effective in providing vital support.
The rough sleeping estimate is a key example of how multi-agency working can provide a vital tool in identifying the current rough sleeping situation in the city to make sure support and resources are allocated where most needed.
The annual estimate figure is determined by Brighton & Hove City Council in collaboration with seven organisations working with rough sleepers across the city: St Mungo's, Sussex Police, St. Anne's, BHT First Base, The Clock Tower Sanctuary, Antifreeze and Downslink YMCA. This year's figure has been independently verified by Homeless Link, the organisation used by DCLG (Department of Communities and Local Government) to confirm figures across the country. Full details of the estimate will be released by the DCLG in the New Year.
The multi-agency group pools data and information to produce a list of all those known to be sleeping rough in the city, providing a snapshot of one night to illustrate the wider picture.

I am so dreaming of 'going to camp' – Healing Camp with the PLANT SPIRIT MEDICINE folks. It is way beyond my current means, but magic happens! They are doing in April, July, and October. I am so loving doing this work they asked me to write a short piece for their newsletter so here it is:
When I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer a little over a year ago, I refused chemotherapy and instead set off on my own healing journey. The first leg of the journey―before I knew much about Plant Spirit Medicine―focused on ingesting plants for their physical healing properties. Words like curcumin, quercetin and phytonutrients dominated my vocabulary. A bit later in my journey, I realized healing is more about things like green leafies and turmeric, whereas Healing is about what happens on the level of Spirit. When I finally began to understand the depth and breadth of PSM, I knew I had tapped in to a vast new terrain of Healing! The more I read Eliot Cowan's words, the more I feel I have found my healing/Healing home. Illness―even cancer―is surely a gift. I don't need to fear it or hate it or 'combat' it. It is simply my call to step "into a dream of wholeness."
With my diagnosis, my (holistic, integrative) primary care doctor had advised me to focus first and foremost on connecting with community. I made that connection a priority in my life; after some years of isolating, the Sacred Fire gatherings were among my first forays into the world.
When I learned about the loving, generous offerings of the spirits of plants, I added Plant Spirit Medicine to my healing journey. With the advent of the Book Club, connecting with community and Plant Spirit Medicine came together. Yes! I feel so moved to be in the company a group of women and men who see far beyond the medical model while feeling a deep connection with the plant world and with Spirit. Some are PSM practitioners, and some, like me, are receiving treatment themselves, while others are just learning now about this world. What a gift to read together Cowan's book, to explore this sacred realm in community! Each member of the group brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, and perspective to the table, making the experience of reading the book that much richer.
A few months ago I started a support group for people wanting to heal their cancer naturally, without Western medical intervention and with a full-on Mind/Body/Spirit approach. I was working on how I might best share what I have learned as well as hold the space for group members to share what they have learned when I had an a-HA moment – I realized that the PSM Book Club could also beautifully serve the people in my group. I invited them to join me and they, too, are loving it. When dancing with cancer, it is a time when both healing and Healing are front and center in our lives. With this book and this knowledge and yes, this group of people, I feel deeply that healing is all around me in abundance. I still appreciate the plants for green tea, turmeric, etc.―their physical gifts for the body―but their gifts of spirit have brought me to my knees in gratitude.
I so look forward to a whole year of this Book Club. Perhaps we, those of us with a cancer diagnosis, can move en masse from a dream of strife into a dream of wholeness, leaving the imbalances of our bodies behind!

Volunteer Management. One Job. Many Hats.
Universally, people recognize the contribution of volunteers to just about every aspect of service delivery in all walks of life. However, volunteering does not succeed in a vacuum. It is important to acknowledge that the spirit of volunteerism is enhanced and enabled by the skilled people who lead them – you! – and to say thank you. That is why we celebrate International Volunteer Managers Day (IMVDay) every year on November 5. Except THIS YEAR in Seattle. We are going to celebrate with Internationally Known Volunteer Management Author and Speaker Andy Fryar on Friday, Nov. 18 at the Brockney Center at South Seattle Community College from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for only $20!
What better way to celebrate than with a special training and a special lunch!
The role of the Volunteer Manager continues to morph and change – and generally become more complex. Yet how often do we take time out to consider these changes and how best to plan for them. This session will allow the time reflect on these changes and to strategize about how we and our organizations must best position ourselves to meet the challenges of engaging a modern day volunteer workforce. Andy Fryar, the National Operations Manager for Better Impact, will walk you through the 18 qualities that he has observed (in more than 30 years in this field), that advanced volunteer managers exhibit. Come prepared to be challenged! Light breakfast and full lunch is included. Price: ONLY $20 for the half day training. Lunch is provided by VANNW in honor of Volunteer Managers Day. Register HERE!

Join Scouting
Scouting provides youth with an opportunity to try new things, provide service to others, build self-confidence, and reinforce ethical standards. These opportunities not only help them when they are young, but carry forward into their adult lives. The skills they learn in Scouting help them overcome obstacles and challenges with courage and character throughout their lives.
Scouting Builds Positive Character
Current and former Scouts have always felt that Scouting has made a difference in their lives, and now a study done by Tufts University has found that Scouting does in fact have measurable, positive impact in the character development of young people.
"After three years, Scouts reported significant increases in cheerfulness, helpfulness, kindness, obedience, trustworthiness, and hopeful future exception," said Dr. Richard M. Lerner, who led the study at Tufts University. "In our control group of non-Scouts, there were no significant increases, and in some cases (e.g., religious reverence) there was an observed decrease, which was quite striking."
More information about the Tufts University study can be found here. You can also download a copy of the Northern Lights Council's Parent Orientation Guide that explains more about the Cub Scout programs here locally.
Does Scouting Work?
Cub Scouts for boys and girls in grades K - 5
The Cub Scouting program is uniquely designed to meet the needs of young boys & girls and their parents, through offering fun and challenging experiences that youth and parents do together.
Scouts BSA for boys and girls ages 11-17
In the Scouts BSA program, youth learn through the experiences of camping, hiking, building projects, and community service. Scouting fosters self-esteem, a sense of value and belonging, a sense of accountability, and teamwork.
The program builds youth mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually. The skills they learn in Scouting help them overcome obstacles and challenges with courage and character throughout their lives.
Give your child a valuable gift by encouraging him/her to join Scouts BSA today. The time you invest in your children today will make a difference in the person they become tomorrow.
Scouting is provided locally in neighborhoods across the country through churches, community organizations, or other groups of interested citizens. Please visit BeaScout.org to find Scouting near you.
Attend a Sign Up Meeting
In late August or early September, most units will conduct a Fall Sign Up meeting. The sign up meetings are a great way for you to meet the leaders of Cub Scout Packs and Scouts BSA Troops serving your area and to learn about what Scouting can offer. Scout units typically host recruitment events at your local school, church, or civic center in the fall and in the spring.

But my mood had been shifting again last week. It started when the tendon attached to my left bicep began to hurt. Then, my wrists began to hurt. Then my feet really began to ache. I didn't feel like I was recovering -- by Thursday, the end of the week, I'd feel kind of spent at the opening of the shift. Throughout my time working here, on Friday, my first day off, I'd go through the day fending off tiredness, and dealing with various aches and pains. But after I hurt my arm a bit, Tuesday felt like Thursday, and Wednesday -- a work day -- felt like Friday. One arm not working all that well had an impact on how well I could move the rest of my body, and somehow my general stamina. Acetaminophen, Menthol Salicylate cream, constant Gatorade mediated rehydration, and nine to ten hours of sleep could only do too much. I went to Walmart and spend around sixty dollars: neoprene wrist supports, elbow sleeve, shoe inserts.
Last week, one of the guys--let's call him Dennis--quit at the end of a shift. He had really been struggling physically, and asked me how the hell I was still okay. He had broken his toe on his second day of work, when a certain, very reckless worker pushed the roller wheels over his foot. He hadn't invested in steel-toed boots, a requirement for the job. So he just put up with the pain and didn't tell the management, because he was afraid that he would get fired for not wearing the appropriate clothing. Fortunately, he has a day job working in a physical therapy clinic, so he knew what to do with his toe. He was still in pain. The toughest part was that while the lot of us earn a humble $10.50 an hour, he got to do the same hard physical labor for $4. The rest went to child support.
In the back of the truck, he looked at me from across the rollers and said, "I'm raising a son. I'd rather get fired than quit."
But the next day, Dennis was gone. He quit at the end of that shift.
People in this world put up with a lot of pain to get things done in their lives. Many of the people I work with here come to do this low-wage hard labor after working their day jobs. Just to get a little more money for their families. Just to have a bit more money to help out their kids, like one of the guys who was recently able to find a good school for his autistic son.
Since Dennis left, the mood has been more glum when we talk during the ten minute break, or as we're wrapping up the shift. It's not the only thing. We know other people are leaving. There's talk that corporate is circling around, looking to fire the least efficient people in each area.
A veteran hourly worker, who has been at the company for 24 years, told me quietly, "They're trying to flow through the same amount of stuff as the end of Christmas, with half the number of people. They're trying to squeeze as much money as they can out of us."
It's pretty typical corporate capitalism. He told me before that the warehouse workers at Amazon have it worse, being under more scrutiny, with no union protection.
And here, I have respect for most of our immediate supervisors. They started out where we are. They know what it's like to load a nightmare-heavy load. When it gets heavy, they try to help as much as possible. They come and load with us. They climb up and help sort packages.
So, it's disheartening to hear them getting chewed out by the district manager or some safety supervisor for the truck load quality being inefficient, or for there being too many packages that have fallen off the chute. We are all hauling ass, and we are all tired and at our wits' ends with these crazy loads. We are getting crushed. When I'm tired, I have trouble thinking clearly, and more trouble getting packages overhead.
I have this subjective metric: what I call my Not gonna deal with this shit no more meter. When the meter hitting 100% means I am completely fed up. It means I'm ready to walk the hell out, at least for the day. And maybe for good.
Usually, once I feel the end of the sort is really in sight, my meter mellows out. When we make it to end of the night, I might be bitching and cursing, I feel a sense of relief the day is over. Marlon and instinctively talk about the events of the day, an I think that helps a lot.
Yesterday, while loading a mixture of 45lb boxes of industrial parts and boxes of flowers, topped out at 85%. We started work half an hour earlier, and got out half an hour to midnight -- seven hours for what is typically a 4.5 hour shift. At the end, I chatted with the guys, and then with Marlon on the way home, and laughed it off.
Today, even though it was a shorter shift, the meter peaked at 95%. A box tipped over and hit me in the throat. A supervisor (not one I usually work with) came in and helped me load, but the wall he built was unstable and had a huge gap on the top. The aisles were filled with packages, many have, some torn open. I was getting ready to just give up on the truck and walk out. In a few minutes, I mellowed out a bit, and decided that at the end of the night, I'd pull my supervisor aside and give him notice that I'd be quitting in three weeks at the latest.
But the night wrapped up. The belt finally stopped, and we managed to fit the remaining stuff into the almost-full truck. There was chatter and joking and complaining. Lou, our best loader by far, talked about his wife's health issues, which is why he's been out for the last few days. I couldn't bring myself to announce my departure. I didn't want to hurt people's spirits just as we were all sharing some relief of climbing out of that hell.
But I am ready to move on. I postponed making my move for a while. Through December and January, I felt too tired to work on opening up other opportunities. This small job takes a lot of energy. I sleep nine, ten hours, and don't feel like I'm recovering completely day-to-day. But I don't have any other sources of immediate income, nothing saved up. Recently, my wages have been getting garnished to pay debts -- though nothing as bad as what Dennis was paying in child support.
But Marlon and I keep telling ourselves, if we can stand this crazy-ass work, we can overcome almost anything. If I can make it through a shift after shift feeling like I'm just one more 45lb box of t-shirts away from walking out on the spot, I can get my stuff in order in my spare time. I can overcome the physical and logistical and social and financial hurdles.
I don't want to dampen their spirits. But if I don't apply this same hard work to improving my situation, I feel like I'd be letting down my comrades even more.
