Hereford senior midfielder Ted Demiris has been a dominant faceoff man all season, giving the No. 7 Bulls a decided edge at the start of each possession.
In Saturday's Class 3A-2A state semifinal against No. 11 Winters Mill, his stellar play extended well past the X to help send the four-time defending state champions to another title game.
In addition to winning 15 of 19 draws, Demiris scored two pivotal goals in an eight-second span late in the first quarter to lead Hereford to a 12-7 win over the Falcons at Annapolis High.
Jack Adams and Morgan Pritchett each scored three goals and Joe Seider joined Demiris with two as the Bulls improved to 18-1 on the season. They will take on Glenelg — an 11-8 winner against Kent Island in the other semifinal — for the state title either Tuesday or Wednesday at UMBC. It will be a battle of state champions with the Bulls seeking their eighth crown and Glenelg, which captured last year's Class 2A-1A title, going for its fourth.
Shortly after Saturday's win, Hereford coach Brian King was already looking forward to the challenge that lays ahead against the Gladiators, who defeated Hereford, 6-5, early last season before the teams went their separate ways in winning state championships.
"We're really excited to play Glenelg," King said. It was "6-5 last year in an Easter Tournament and they rushed the field on us like they won the Super Bowl, so we've been waiting. It's been 417 days, so we're excited."
After handling Winters Mill, 15-2, early in the season, the Bulls had a much tougher test Saturday, relying on two three-goal spurts to help pull away.
With the game tied at 1 in the final minute of the first quarter, they scored three goals in 15 seconds, Demiris winning consecutive faceoffs and marching down the field for the last two to give the Bulls a 4-1 advantage going into the second quarter.
"We knew possessions were going to be a big key in the game, so all week my coach had me practicing faceoffs while everyone else was doing their thing," Demiris said. "It was just really big getting possessions and then when we could, push it for a fast break and get some quick goals."
The Falcons, who got a four-goal performance from Spencer Love, trailed 6-4 at the half before the Bulls responded with another key stretch in the third quarter. This time Pritchett, Freddy Bryant and Seider scored two minutes apart for a 9-4 lead with 7:18 to play. The advantage was never threatened afterward.
The Falcons close out their season with a 16-2 mark, going undefeated in Carroll County and winning their first region title since capturing the state title in 2007. Winters Mill coach Sal Picataggi was proud of his team's effort and impressed with the work put in by Dimitris, who he said was the difference.
"We had a good game plan in and knew we could score if we had the ball, but the difficulty with them is that they faceoff so well," Picataggi said. "They don't give you a ton of opportunities, so when you have them you almost have to be perfect."
No. 10 Glenelg 11, Kent Island 8: Mark Darden and Mikey Wynne each scored four goals as the Gladiators (17-2) avenged an early-season loss to Kent Island to reach a state title game for the third straight year.
The Gladiators jumped out to a 4-1 lead and were able to stay a step ahead of the Buccaneers (16-3) the rest of the way to advance. Nick Wynne added one goal and three assists and goalie Landry Marshall recorded six saves and got strong defensive support throughout. Glenelg, which captured the Class 2A-1A state title last year, will be seeking the program's fourth state crown at UMBC next week.
"We're just thankful, past three years in the state title game," said Darden, a junior midfielder. "[We need to ] bring intensity 100 percent, picking up ground balls, winning faceoffs [and] scoring second-chance goals could be the difference."
In Saturday's win, one possession late in the third quarter showed how much the Gladiators wanted a chance at another state title.
Looking to add to their 6-5 lead, they won two ground balls to keep the ball and then Darden ended up on his back behind the cage as the ball squirted free with two Buccaneers in the area. The ball found its way in the stick of Mikey Wynne, who quickly found his brother, Nick, on the left side for a goal with 2:46 left in the quarter that started a string of four straight. Kent Island cut the lead to 10-8 with 3:56 to play, but the Gladiators were able to run out the clock with Mikey Wynne scoring on an empty net in the final second to seal the victory.
Glenelg coach Josh Hatmaker was pleased to see a more efficient effort this time against Kent Island, which handed the Gladiators a 10-8 setback on April 7.
"We stayed out of the penalty box and every ground ball was a war," he said. "I thought that was the biggest difference in the game in that we contested every ground ball, we stayed out of the penalty box, and when we had shots we made them and we made them work offensively a lot harder than the last game."
Westminster 14, Churchill 10: The Owls scored the final four goals to break a tie, defeat the pesky Bulldogs and advance to the Class 4A-3A state championship.
The Owls, who have not played in the state championship since 2004, will face South River for the title. That game will be played at UMBC either Tuesday or Wednesday.
Westminster was led by Ryan Drenner's five goals. Louis Dubick led the Bulldogs with four goals.
The Owls took a 10-9 lead entering the fourth quarter, but the Bulldogs pulled even on a Morgan Rhodes goal to deadlock the game at 10-10 with 10:28 left.
Westminster took advantage of a Churchill penalty to retake the lead on a leaping, turn-around shot by Drenner to take the lead, 11-10, with 9:35 left. After the score, the Owls started to do the little things they hadn't been doing earlier — picking up ground balls and winning face-offs — to take the air out of the Churchill offense. The strategy paid off, as the Owls got goals by Jesse Uhlman, Dan Carder and another by Drenner to put the game away.
"We talked about what we needed to do [at halftime]," Westminster coach Steve DeFeo said. "We have some good shooters and we weren't executing. We just did a better job of getting our shots to fall in the second half."
The Owls were kept in the game by the goaltending of senior Nick Doyle. The goalie made several acrobatic saves, especially in the second and third quarters, to keep Westminster in the game.
"Nick has been one of our leaders all year," said sophomore Ryan Hursey, who had three goals for the Owls. "He made some amazing saves. This is his only year starting, and he played great tonight when he needed to.

Fallston 23, Northwestern 3: The Cougars advanced to the Class 1A-2A state championship with a lopsided semifinal win Saturday at Bel Air.
Fallston, which had 17 players score, will meet South Carroll for the state crown Tuesday or Wednesday at UMBC.
"Their kids played with a lot of heart. They were really proud to win the [Baltimore] city championship," Fallston coach Matt Parks said. "It's good for them to get this opportunity, and on the flipside, it's good for us to get these guys in that ... we can see what they can do in an actual game situation."
Scoring 12 first-quarter goals, Parks was free to substitute freely from the first quarter on. Marc Badger scored the game's first goal 53 seconds into the game. He was one of nine Cougars to score in the opening quarter.
Defenseman Zack Esser added two goals in the quarter, as did Kyle D'Onofrio and Jeremy Scranton. Brenden Nolan, who finished with a team-best three goals, closed out the first-quarter scoring for a 12-1 lead.
Robbie Kansler was the only other Cougar to have multiple goals, scoring twice.
Northwestern scoring was handled by three players. Major Livingston scored in the first quarter, while Kylie Tyree and Will Gatling each scored in the second quarter.
"We really had a great year. To make it this far, the final four, was really a great achievement," Northwestern coach Lloyd Carter said. "I'm really proud of the team and what they achieved. But we learned today, we have to work on our skills, continue to improve our skills. Fallston is a great team. I think we learned a lot today."
Fallston played three goalies, with starter Caleb Abney and Mark Wollenweber making two saves apiece. Lucas Crofton came in to make four saves.
Northwestern goalie Maurice Smith finished with seven saves.

Do you get the recurring question from clients that I do, from time to time, about bank accounts? I'm referring to the issue where an elderly mother or father wants to add their child's name to one or more of their bank accounts. In simple terms, the logic makes sense, as most parents want to assure that their bills, mortgages, insurances or even funerals get paid for should something happen to them. Yet most elderly clients and children don't realize the risk that this small transaction creates. Here are just a few issues they, and you, should consider:
Issue No. 1: Full Withdrawal Rights
Each person on a joint bank account is legally considered a full owner when it comes to withdrawing money from the account. Therefore, the risk of a child withdrawing money, borrowing money or accidentally losing the checkbook/debit card for their parent's bank account opens the door to the possibility of losing the elderly parent's savings through theft, stolen identity or bank account access.
Issue No. 2: Creditor Issues
Once a child is added on a joint bank account, it becomes an asset for both parties. So if a situation arises where the child has a creditor win a judgment against him or her, that creditor could garnish the entire bank account, regardless of the parent's involvement in the creditor claim, possibly resulting in the loss of the account funds.
Issue No. 3: Divorce or Legal Issues
As noted above, any assets in this assumed bank account are deemed as owned property by the parent and the child. What if the child's spouse files for divorce? That divorcing spouse could be entitled to a portion of the joint bank account funds. Or what if that child runs a stop sign and hits another car or person or damages someone's property? Any lawsuit claim/judgment settlement for money will include this account as part of the child's assets.
Issue No. 4: Bypassing the Will
As you probably know, joint accounts or any asset registered jointly with rights of survivorship bypass the will of a deceased person. So in this case, the will does not impact the money in joint bank accounts. This might not be an issue if the child is the only beneficiary of the parent's estate. If not, it can create a major feud among other beneficiaries, as the dividing process is not that easy after the fact. Furthermore, should the parent's will include specific trust provisions related to their estate planning goals, this change in ownership of the bank account could have drastic and irreversible effects on everything from inheritances, taxes or other estate expenses, since this account would bypass the will's provisions.
Issue No. 5: Gift Taxes
Most clients are not aware of the gift tax issue, as the laws are pretty infringing and complex, tying back into each person's inheritance tax exemptions, etc. Adding a child to a parent's bank account is indirectly making a gift, which may or may not be subject to gift tax for the parents. Furthermore, depending on the amount of money in the account and how many children are added as owners, all plays into the gift tax issue. While specific details are beyond the scope of this article, they are accessible at the IRS website. Nevertheless, it is still important to note that a possible gift tax issue could be a problem for some parents.
There are many more issues of concern in this area, such as their effect on long-term care or Medicaid-related issues, but I believe most advisors will agree that putting a child's name on a bank account or any asset, for that matter, is probably not a good idea.
In my next article, I'll discuss various resolutions for handling the parent's issues of concern more efficiently and in a far less risky manner.

For the second time in just two months, the Israeli political universe was upended when Shaul Mofaz's Kadima Party voted to quit Israel's governing coalition.
Kadima's departure, the result of a breakdown in negotiations over reforming Israel's military draft law to include haredi Jews, shatters the 94-seat super-majority that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu controlled in the 120-seat Knesset.
It also raises questions about the future of Kadima, Israel's draft, and the timing of new elections.
While the loss of Kadima's 28 seats still leaves Netanyahu's coalition with the majority it needs to govern, Netanyahu is seen as more likely to move up Israel's next elections, which now are scheduled for the fall of 2013.
Netanyahu had been set to dissolve the Knesset and call for new elections nine weeks ago when Mofaz stunned the Israeli political establishment by bringing Kadima, Israel's main opposition party, into the governing coalition. The move was seen as a gambit by Mofaz, who had won Kadima's leadership several weeks earlier, to stave off elections in which Kadima was set to lose significant ground.
For Netanyahu, the coalition deal was a way both to hobble the opposition and give him more leeway in formulating a new military draft law. In February, Israel's Supreme Court struck down the current draft regulation, called the Tal Law, which excuses haredim from universal mandatory military service for Israeli Jews. The court ordered that a new law be enacted by Aug. 1 or else all Israeli Jews would be subject to the draft. Netanyahu's other coalition partners include haredi parties that oppose drafting large numbers of haredi men or subjecting them to national service.
The debate over the new draft law has roiled Israel in recent weeks. Many Israelis long have resented what they see as the free ride given to haredi Israelis, who are not required to serve in the army but are still eligible for state welfare benefits.
In the end it was Kadima that quit the government in protest over proposed reforms that it said did not go far enough.
At a news conference Tuesday announcing Kadima's decision to leave the government, Mofaz said he had rejected Netanyahu's proposal of deferring national service until age 26; Kadima wanted the draft deferral to end at age 22.
"It is with deep regret that I say there is no choice but to decide to leave the government," Mofaz told a closed-door meeting of Kadima. Only three of the party's 28 Knesset members voted in favor of staying in the coalition.
"Netanyahu has chosen to side with the draft dodgers," Mofaz told reporters after the meeting. "I have reached an understanding that the prime minister has not left us a choice and so we have responded."
In a letter to Mofaz from Netanyahu's office, the prime minister responded, "I gave you a proposal that would have led to the conscription of ultra-Orthodox and Arabs from the age of 18. I explained to you that the only way to implement this on the ground is gradually and without tearing Israeli society apart, especially at a time when the state of Israel is facing many significant challenges. I will continue to work toward the responsible solution that Israeli society expects."
With just two weeks to go before the Tal Law expires, it's not clear where Kadima's departure leaves the future of Israel's military draft.
What seems certain is that Kadima has been weakened by the episode. Two months ago, polls showed Kadima stood to lose two-thirds of its Knesset seats in new elections. Government opponents harshly criticized Mofaz when he then decided to hitch his centrist party to Netanyahu's right-wing Likud Party.
"Unfortunately, everything I warned about two months ago and everything I expected to happen, happened," said Chaim Ramon, a Knesset member who quit Kadima when Mofaz joined the government.
"Netanyahu's allies are the haredim and the settlers. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluding himself and the public. This move has brought on Kadima's demise and Shaul Mofaz is the one accountable," Ramon said.
If new elections were held today, Kadima likely would implode, with the biggest chunk of its seats going to Likud (Kadima originally was created as an offshoot of Likud) and others to a new centrist party, Yesh Atid, or to left-wing parties.

Autohaler is a type of Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) device. The inhaler is activated by breath and therefore does not require hand-breath coordination to inhale the aerosol medicine. This can be very useful for people having trouble with the timing and coordination technique needed for MDI devices. The device is such that the medication is delivered automatically during inspiration without the need for the patient to coordinate with inhalation.

When "Wilfred" debuted on FX last summer, the premise smacked of novelty: a simple mutt to the rest of the world appears as a manipulative, bong-puffing Australian in a cheesy dog costume to a troubled young lawyer.
The hipster "Harvey" initially seemed as potentially substantial as a giant invisible rabbit. But "Wilfred" evolved into a seriocomic, at-times emotionally wrenching exploration of identity and depression – all while providing plenty of laughs, tawdry, cheap and dark.
With the series second season finale set for Thursday, Wilfred the dog (or is he a man?) is having his day.
The talking-canine gimmick aside, the rest of the set-up for "Wilfred" doesn't exactly scream "comedy." The show debuted with disillusioned lawyer Ryan ("Lord of the Rings" trilogy star Elijah Wood) failing at suicide. The latest season began with Ryan in a mental institution following a breakdown long in the making. The fear, guilt and angst ridden thirtysomething is unable to take control of his life and seize much pleasure. His father, an unseen presence who looms as large as Wilfred, bullied him into joining him in the law. He feels abandoned by his mother, a loopy artist (Mary Steenburgen) dumped in a sanitarium by his father when Ryan was a boy.
Wilfred (Jason Gann) lives next door with pretty, perky – and betrothed – Jenna, Ryan's unrequited crush. He serves as Ryan's furry Id, constantly burying him in trouble, before digging him up and dragging him out, though never unsullied. Wilfred is an ambiguous character – we're never clear on whether he's a help or hindrance to Ryan, a cause or symptom of his downfall – or a necessary element in piecing back together the life of man struggling to be his own best friend.
Gann, who created and starred in the original Australian TV version of "Wilfred," brings great timing that goes beyond the comic as his dog/man veers from bacchanalian tempter to devious troublemaker to potential savior with the wag of the tail. Wood's over-sized, endlessly expressive eyes remain his greatest asset. The peepers of Wood's Ryan Newman (read: "new man") variously convey helplessness, pain, exasperation and a modicum of hope, as his quest for happiness is dogged by an emotional Gollum-like internal battle.
The darkly comic second season took us deeper into the exploration of who – or what –Wilfred is and his purpose. From Wilfred and his stuffed teddy bear/lover (known simply as "Bear") busting Ryan out of the mental institution to Wilfred violently sabotaging Ryan's drug-induced "vision quest" with a Native American guide, the show turned more dreamlike and eerie, even as the stakes grew clearer and more serious in what passes for "real" life.
Last we saw, Ryan knocked on the door of Amanda, the woman he dumped to spare her from his mental mess, the one person who seems to love him for who he is, his best shot at eking out a normal, modestly content life. Thursday will tell whether Wilfred ruins the moment or finally lets Ryan have a day of his own.

"Wilfred": TV's Best Friend
With the series second season finale set for Thursday, the pot-puffing dog is having his day.
When "Wilfred" debuted on FX last summer, the premise smacked of novelty: a simple mutt to the rest of the world appears as a manipulative, bong-puffing Australian in a cheesy dog costume to a troubled young lawyer.

(Corrects day on which Japan top spokesman made comment to
Friday, paragraph 3)
* Tension simmers between Seoul and Tokyo over territory,
* Japan regrets non-extradition of suspect in shrine arson
* Japan seeks early Japan-South Korea leaders' summit-Jiji
By Jack Kim
SEOUL, Jan 4 (Reuters) - South Korea's president-elect said
on Friday that Japan needed to come to terms with its colonial
history as tension between two Asian allies of the United States
simmered over Japan's rule of Korea and an island dispute.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said in a Dec. 31
newspaper interview he wanted to issue a statement that would
supersede a landmark 1995 apology for Japan's military
aggression, a move bound to raise hackles in South Korea, ruled
by Japan from 1910-1945, and in China, where bitter wartime
memories run deep.
Japan's top government spokesman, Yoshihide Suga, confirmed
on Friday that Abe wants to issue his own "forward-looking"
statement but also told reporters the 1995 statement by
then-premier Tomiichi Murayama would stand.
"The two sides must have a correct view of history and
pursue a future of reconciliation and cooperation," South Korean
President-elect Park Geun-hye told Abe's aide, Fukushiro Nukaga,
in Seoul, according to her spokeswoman, Cho Yoon-sun.
A "correct view of history" is shorthand for South Korea's
desire for Japan to acknowledge its wartime and colonial
excesses, something Tokyo says it has already done.
"The older generation must make the commitment to try to
heal the wound, and must not become an obstacle to opening the
way for the future generation."
A handful of protesters assembled at Gimpo Airport outside
Seoul ahead of Nukaga's arrival and one stabbed himself in the
stomach with a small knife and was taken to hospital.
Tensions over territorial claims and reparations and an
apology for Korean sex slaves, known as comfort women, who were
forced to work at Japanese military brothels, have spilled into
the diplomatic arena as well as economics.
South Korea cancelled plans for an intelligence deal last
year while a $57 billion currency swap to shore up Asia's
second- and fourth-largest economies was allowed to lapse after
South Korea's current president visited the disputed island.
On Thursday, a Seoul court ruled that a Chinese citizen who
carried out an arson attack on the Yasukuni Shrine for war dead
in Tokyo could not be extradited to Japan as he had committed a
"political crime" and might not get a fair trial.
Abe told reporters in western Japan that the ruling was
"extremely regrettable". Nukaga echoed that stance but said he
had conveyed a message from Abe seeking to improve ties and
invited Park to visit Japan soon, Kyodo news agency reported.
Park is the daughter of military strongman Park Chung-hee
who established diplomatic ties between the two countries in
1965 after more than a decade of tortured talks brokered by
Washington, winning aid that helped his industrial drive that
propelled South Korea from poverty to rich nation status.
Japan says it has settled all its obligations and has
apologised for its colonial rule, although Abe's government has
raised doubts about whether it stands by a 1993 statement on
comfort women as well as the 1995 apology by Murayama.
Seoul says there has not been sufficient apology for the
hundreds of thousands of South Koreans used as sexual slaves by
the Japanese army and that reparations are not complete.
Abe hails from a wealthy political family that includes a
grandfather, Nobusuke Kishi, who was a wartime cabinet minister
who was imprisoned but never tried as a war criminal after the
war. He went on to become prime minister from 1957 to 1960.
First elected to parliament in 1993 after the death of his
father, a former foreign minister, Abe rose to national fame by
adopting a tough stance toward North Korea in a dispute over
Japanese citizens kidnapped by North Korea decades ago.
More recently, he has promised not to yield in a territorial
row with China over tiny islands in the East China Sea - known
as the Senkaku in Japan and the Diaoyu in China - and boost
defence spending to counter China's growing influence.
Both Park and Abe are keen to bolster ties with the United
States, a bulwark against China and the key military backer of
the South against North Korea.
North Korea raised tensions in the region by launching a
long-range rocket in December that it said was aimed at putting
a scientific satellite in orbit, drawing international
condemnation. It is banned from testing missile or nuclear
technology under U.N. sanctions imposed after its 2006 and 2009
nuclear weapons tests.

Richard's Veggie PatchMembers adventures in the Vegetable Patch all year round
Re: Richard's Veggie Patch 2014
Looking good, Richard. Mind your back though.
Re: Richard's Veggie Patch 2014
Because of work, then house sit, then back problem, I haven't done any gardening at all for 8 days and at this time of the year, not good news.
However I did manage a bit of weeding this morning.
I couldn't use the hoe, not enough bumph to get it in the soil, so I squeezed the handle of my trowel into a length of 1 1/2" basin sink waste pipe and went from there!!
Looked a bit like Richard Briers in the Good Life !!
Stupid, I had the same thing exactly a year ago and went round making the holes for the Onion Sets with my walking stick

Re: Richard's Veggie Patch 2014
Looking great Richard. You look far more relaxed these days.
Oh! the garden looks great too.
Re: Richard's Veggie Patch 2014
I think you're right Jannie, I am more relaxed, not having to clock watch so much and the must have that done by Thursday because I'm working for five days.
I do miss the Cricket work though - but secondary to one's own wellbeing
Re: Richard's Veggie Patch 2014
I put 9 of my 12 Runners out today, 10 of my 23 Sweet Corn and all 8 Courgettes.

Putting the Squash in tomorrow (today) including the one's going in the Compost Bins.

3 lots of rotated Carrots

Re: Richard's Veggie Patch 2014
Blimey, only planted the Courgettes out two days ago - a flower already !!
Peppers and Chilli in this morning..
Re: Richard's Veggie Patch 2014

Re: Richard's Veggie Patch
Hi Richard,fab-u-Lous, I have a couple of hours today I hope in the patch at home, but am on call for a Hospital, so no doubt will be in at some stage, so up early to see if I can get a bit done. You are very ahead would be my thinking! Clucky xx
Re: Richard's Veggie Patch
Here I am, March 2016 !!
Much to do.
My herniated disc has been playing up lately so I'm pacing myself plus only doing about half the area I've done in previous year.
It's that stage when you think you'll never get it organized....but you do !

Today the Maine Senate will be taking up legislation on the minimum wage. Ezra Klein at the Washington Post says you only need to see this one graph of corporate profits and labor share in order to know it should be increased, but here's another chart just in case:
The data here is from the Maine Department of Labor, adjusted with CPI figures from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. If the Maine minimum wage had kept pace with inflation since the late 1960s (when the wage began to be broadly applied), it would currently be more than $10 an hour.
The proposal before the Senate would increase the minimum wage in stages to $9 an hour by 2016 (when it will be worth somewhere around $8.40 in today's dollars, according to current CPI forecasts) and then index it to inflation.

Look at that tall left-handed man up there. Does he look happy to you? Or does he look like an irritated guest of that cartoon bird?
According to Jon Heyman, it's the latter. Willis ditched the Norfolk Tides last week after insisting that he should start, when the team wanted him to relieve.
When the Orioles signed Willis in March—after the Phillies released him—the plan was for him to become a lefty specialist. That's what he was supposed to do in Philly, too. At the time of his signing, he told MLB.com about his bullpen obligations, "I'm going to continue to do stuff like that and get used to my role over here." (These weren't the most enthusiastic words, but they were apparently enough for Baltimore.)
Time in Norfolk changes a man, though, and Willis's agent told Heyman that Dontrelle, who had been on the disabled list with forearm soreness, has scrammed and asked Baltimore for his release. He only pitched in three games. Yeah, Dan Duquette wants Willis back. But we have a feeling that the D Train's ditched the tracks for the foreseeable future.
Willis said to leave team w/o permission; Duquette still wants him for pen [CBS Sports]

In the wine industry, few captivate a cult following quite like Screaming Eagle Cabernet. If you're not familiar with Screaming Eagle Cabernet, it's a legendary cult wine produced by Screaming Eagle Winery in the Oakville region of Napa Valley in California.
Screaming Eagle Wines are sold by subscription only, with no tasting rooms or ability to visit the winery. The label's extreme popularity has caused a waiting list just to get on the subscription list, and each vintage is pre-sold. A bottle of Screaming Eagle will set you back $750, with subscribers often times flipping their purchase for $1,500 or higher. (The winery has been known to drop subscribers if they get wind that you're immediately reselling their wine.) In 2001, a six liter bottle of '92 Screaming Eagle set a world record for the highest price ever paid for a single bottle of wine through the Napa Valley Wine Auction, selling for $650,000.
For this kind of money you have to wonder what kind of experience a wine can offer to justify such a demand. Here was one explanation from a wine aficionado:
"It was as though we'd been sucking on the world's most perfect blackberry… one single, perfect blackberry… and, at that moment, exactly 70 minutes after we had opened and decanted the bottle, the fruit had burst open, with dramatic, intense, ripe tastes of earth, minerals, acidity and sunshine. In the world of wine-lovers, this is what you always hope for but never expect: a brief, ephemeral moment of perfection."
While most don't expect an ephemeral moment from a broker-dealer, it is your experiences—of relationship, service, technology, belonging and feeling appreciated—that determine if your broker-dealer has a cult following that separates them from the competition. For the few firms that have achieved this cult status, we have found that, like cult-status wines, "Culture, Purity and Technology" are the traits that set them apart because they do them all and they do them well.
Culture: Learning the Business From the Ground Up
Screaming Eagle and other California cult wines share three common threads. First, they are all located in Napa Valley because the single most important factor in producing a great wine is soil, soil, soil. Second, these wineries are managed by wine school graduates, with the University of California at Davis (UCD) being the most common. Heidi Barrett, Screaming Eagle's renowned winemaker, graduated from UCD in 1980 with a B.S. Degree in Fermentation Science. She cut her teeth working at numerous wineries, improving her craft along the way until she started making wine at Screaming Eagle in 1992. The third common thread is output. Cult wineries such as Screaming Eagle produce only 600-700 cases per year, while their commercial counterparts produce in the tens of thousands.
Cult-status broker-dealers also share several common treads. Broker-dealers with the best cultures are nearly always headed by a founder or president who was themselves a registered rep, learning and applying their craft over the years before starting their own broker-dealer. When a broker-dealer president has walked in the shoes of the representatives, it brings a connection that you rarely see when top management has backgrounds such as accounting or compliance.
In 2012, a top rep leaving a large broker-dealer was quoted as saying, "My broker-dealer doesn't understand broker-dealer culture. They understand business but not culture." The president of that particular firm didn't have a registered representative background, so it came as no surprise to hear of the cultural disconnect.
As firms grow, maintaining a highly functional culture becomes increasingly difficult. One cult-following, mid-sized firm we place advisors with is keenly aware of this so they set a growth cap of 500 representatives in order to preserve the high touch qualities that attracted advisors to the firm in the first place. They also tell prospective representatives that their compliance department doesn't cater to the lowest common denominator because they don't have a lower denominator—they simply don't bring on reps unless they have $200,000 or more in production.
A firm's success and growth can be their greatest downfall if management starts to operate out of an Ivory Tower, granting access sparingly or only to the highest producers. Mark Cuban, entrepreneur and owner of the Dallas Mavericks, recalled his first job out of college with Mellon Bank, where he tried a bottom up approach to communicating with management. He started a "Rookie Club" where he'd invite senior executives to a happy hour to talk to younger employees. He also started a newsletter that discussed current projects. His boss called him into the office, ripping into him for going over his head, threatening to crush him unless he backed away. Cuban left Mellon shortly thereafter, realizing they were more concerned with their power structure and egos than making improvements. I've also witnessed a broker-dealer president who belittled and practically interrogated reps during recruiting visits, which is a time when he should be trying to woo them to join the firm. Recruiting is difficult enough without a bridge burning leadership mentality that turns off potential prospects. The intoxicating effects of power and success can turn a broker-dealer's culture upside down as representatives' contributions take a back seat.
To be certain, growth makes maintaining a highly functional culture increasingly difficult. If you want to have the ear of management, quality relationships with back office staff and a sense of belonging, a broker-dealer's growth has the potential of being your worst enemy.
Purity: Maintaining the Integrity of the Original
Cult winemakers, like broker-dealers, are diligent about keeping external forces from ruining what they've painstakingly built. The greatest threat to wine is a yeast called Brettanomyces or "Brett." Brett is a mischievous foe that can be difficult to recognize before it's too late. Left unchecked, Brett can become overpowering, manifesting itself as a sweaty horse saddle character, or barnyard stall (the Wine Aroma Wheel has other similarly fragrant descriptions, such as cat pee and diaper), dramatically altering the palate and the wine's bouquet. The best way to combat Brett is through sanitation and a pristine cellar. Without this due diligence, entire wineries may need to rebuild in order to eradicate the troublesome Brett. Purity for cult-status broker-dealers starts with the recruiting process as prospects are filtered through compliance for problematic compliance patterns, questionable outside business activities or credit issues caused by personal negligence. With FINRA passing out fines for anything and everything, while at the same time drilling down on every aspect of our business, broker-dealers have no choice but to scrutinize more details than they have in the past. Like Brett, misguided representatives can bring a firm down, so filtering out such candidates at the onset preserves the integrity of the firm as it was built.
The wild cards for compliance departments are reps that are concealing outside business activities and ponzi schemes. Even the best of firms can be blindsided by such deceit. For cult-following broker-dealers, besides vigilant compliance and audit procedures a focus on representatives with quality backgrounds on every level, a financial planning approach to investing and larger asset base representatives helps to deter the likelihood of such occurrences. The smaller culture and close relationships at cult-status broker-dealers also makes it much more likely to uncover illicit activities before they mushroom into something more serious.
Technology: Advances Improve Quality and Productivity
The last 10 years has been a technological renaissance for wine with the use of stainless steel tanks that allow temperature-controlled fermentations, new presses, advanced filtration techniques as well as a deeper understanding of the chemistry behind quality wine making. Winemakers are not just craftsmen but enologists, with university degrees in wine science. The result has been an increase in quality for nearly all wines, with many 91-92 point rated wines now available for as little as $15-$20. This was rare 10 years ago.
Technology has brought the same renaissance to the broker-dealer community, as all broker-dealers have benefited from technology improvements. Ten years ago consolidated client statements were available at only a few broker-dealers. Now, they are commonplace. Having a centralized, web-based paperless technology platform was equally rare, while today it's quickly becoming the norm. Cult-status broker-dealers may choose to set themselves apart by developing their own technologies rather than outsourcing to bring greater accuracy and customization that outsourced technologies typically don't offer.
Cult-following broker-dealers realize that in today's broker-dealer environment, technology is critical to regulatory and competitive success with proper execution on all three levels—rep, operational and compliance. The greatest pressures come from regulators requiring broker-dealers to have technology in place to increase their rigor in monitoring their representatives, with the greatest scrutiny directed at the suitability and sales practices with products such as alternative investments and variable annuities. Broker-dealers also need to disseminate "Know Your Customer" data, which has greater inclusive data requirements.
To compete, cult-status broker-dealers are bringing together technology to cater to the hybrid model, offering multiple platforms—be it Pershing, NFS, TD Ameritrade or Schwab—with broker-dealer generated administration at value pricing. A growing trend is the ability to offer outside advisory platforms under the broker-dealers corporate RIA while traditionally reps could only work with outside advisory platforms if they had their own RIA.
This frees the rep from the burden and liability of setting up and maintaining their own RIA. Broker-dealer generated administration, as opposed to reliance on their clearing firm for billing, statements and performance reporting is also a growing trend. In-house performance reporting utilizing companies such as Orion brings greater performance reporting accuracy along with very broad customization abilities.
Bringing in cutting-edge technology is always at the forefront for cult-status broker-dealers—by necessity. Often times they complement technology with elements of practice management, which helps representatives to better understand how to utilize the technology to make their practice more efficient and save time. After all, the best technology is the technology you need to spend the least amount of time managing.
When we interview representatives, we frequently hear, "I want a firm that leaves me alone," which for some of these reps is quite literal. For them, a box-wine broker-dealer that simply processes business and supervises them works out just fine. They are not looking for culture or relationship and are content with being an island. As production increases, you generally find the opposite to be true as a representative's broker-dealer is looked at as a partner in their success. That explains why cult-status broker-dealers tend to have unusually high average production per rep. Once representatives experience a cult-status broker-dealer, we've found that if they do need to make a change of broker-dealers, they want to find another firm with similar cult status. Author T.C. Boyle summed it up best when he said, "Wine is like sushi to the degree that once you've had the best, you really have no tolerance for that which is not so good."

Sengoku Nadeko
Więcej informacji
Nadeko, the main character of Nadeko Snake, is Tsukihi's friend back in elementary school. She always wears a waist pouch, always casts her eyes downward, has her bangs covering her eyes, has a shy personality, and can be easily amused. Koyomi played with her a lot whenever she visited his house after being invited by his sisters. She was put under a curse and was going to die until Koyomi found out and offered her his help. She refers to Koyomi as Koyomi-onii-chan. She's quite protective of her hair (particularly her forelocks) thinking that it's her place to guard more than her panties. When she finally combed her forelocks aside in Nisemonogatari, Koyomi commented that she has a glare just like a serpent. In Nadeko Medusa, during Halloween, Nadeko met a girl named Ougi, and after which she was able to see a white snake. In Nadeko's class, the atmosphere is strained because of the curses that happened in Nadeko Snake, and since Nadeko is the class rep, she's been pressured to do something about it. She called Koyomi for advice, and after which, the serpent told her to go to the shrine, where it pressures her, as the snake wants her to atone for what she caused by finding the remains of the snake when it was alive. She tries not to involve Koyomi, but he manages to find her at night and takes her to his house. She wakes up next to Tsukihi and managed to bring up the topic of Koyomi's girlfriend, in which Nadeko feels resentment toward Hitagi and ended up snapping at her teacher and to her class. The serpent then tells Nadeko that its remains were in Araragi's house so she goes there and rummages Koyomi's room. She found Koyomi's hidden magazines and saw that the bookmark was the remains. The serpent tells her that, as a reward, it'll grant her a wish and unsurprisingly, she wants Koyomi to like her back. Koyomi returns and saw what she was doing and cautioned her to put the bookmark down. Because of misunderstanding and some of Shinobu's provocation, she then eats the bookmark and becomes an oddity. It turns out that the serpent this time was just Nadeko being delusional, as she's been going crazy since she found out that Koyomi had a girlfriend. Nadeko then tries to kill Koyomi, but Hitagi interferes and asks her to wait until after graduation. The book ends with Nadeko welcoming Koyomi, Hitagi and Shinobu back at the snake shrine in March, with Nadeko saying: "Koyomi-onichan, I'll give you all my affection, OK?". In the official guidebook, Nisio Isin did an interview with all of the voice actors, and asked Kana Hanazawa on what character she would like to play, in which Kana Hanazawa replied that she'd like to play an evil character, probably becoming the basis of Nadeko Medusa. It seems Hitagi and Shinobu both dislike Nadeko. The story will continue in Hitagi End.

Nailbiting moments as young Maddy gets the ironing Dunn
LISET Teis never dared dream her little girl would take on the nation's best ironwomen and win.
So little wonder the mother of Mooloolaba rookie Maddy Dunn was on an emotional rollercoaster during the fourth round of the Telstra Ironwoman Series at Surfers Paradise on Saturday.
First came elation at seeing 18-year-old Maddy take the lead.
Then came the nerves as the heavy surf threatened to wipe her out.
Finally there was pure disbelief, joy and quite a few tears as she crossed the finish line three minutes ahead of some of the best competitors in the world.
Maddy was only in the field because another competitor withdrew but turned in an outstanding performance in rough seas.
She made her move during the ski leg on lap two of the three-and-a-half lap endurance event and Ms Teis, watching from the shore, admitted she was not convinced she would be able to maintain the effort.
"I kept thinking 'She's going to stuff it up'," she said.
"Everybody was getting hammered in the surf so I thought she would take a nose dive or fall off her ski.
"It was gut-wrenching.
"When she came into the last ski leg, I thought, 'She's got to be home and hosed now'.
"She had a three-minute lead and even if she fell and had to swim it, I thought she had it."
Ms Teis said she spent a lot of time crying as she watched Maddy head for the finish line.
"It was such a huge achievement for a young girl."
There was little time for celebration as Maddy was back in training yesterday to prepare for the next race in Coolum this weekend, although Mrs Teis allowed her a small reprieve from household chores.
"But, of course, life has to go on,'' she said.
"She enjoyed that one day and now it's a case of let's get back into it."
Mooloolaba Surf Club head coach Michael King, who took Maddy under his wing three years ago, said the teenager had always been capable of big things.
"The way she goes about her racing, you know she is going to give it her best every time she puts her foot on the line," he said.

The status of Onondaga lake has been improved steadily over the past 25 years. The ambient monitoring program (AMP) conducted by Onondaga County, as part of the state and federal cleanup of the lake, has proven to be a success by continuously monitoring the status of the lake. There are many factors that determine the quality of the lake, some of which (like some forms of industrial pollution, e.g. mercury) are not easily monitorable in the lake water. Among those that are more easily monitorable are: water clarity; bacteria levels; dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations, phosphorus concentrations; and ammonia, nitrite and nitrate concentrations. Included below are charts and graphs that are included in the Onondaga Lake Ambient Monitoring Program November 2010.

In addition to Trigg, Microwave Dave joins the cast.
Microwave Dave had the mega hit "Roadrunner" and performs it for the kids as he mentors them on the art of stage presence. Patsy and Microwave Dave are truly inspirational mentors for not only the kids, but their parents too.
It is a no drama show. So, those tuning in to see a spectacle of drama mamas will not find it on this reality show.
The show follows each kid as they record in the studio. A few even attempt a music video. The show promotes only the positive nature of kids.
The kids and parents are coached in a positive environment so that every memory is warm and yet exciting. This helps build each child's selfconfidence as they strive to make their dream of being a music star a reality.
There are a few standouts in the crowd for sure. However, most of the 15 kids have never had a music lesson, let alone stand in front of a microphone with ear sets on and everyone staring at them.
For most, that would be very intimidating, however, this group of kids wasn't intimidated at all. In fact, they did well, relaxing into the session and recording their song.
Many of the songs recorded will be in upcoming movies. "I Can Fly" recorded by 5-year-old Destiny Christian will be in the animated movie "It's A Merry Christmas When Pigs Fly."
The song "Hero", recorded by 11-year-old Veronica Anderson will be in the animated movie "Toodles The Pink Poodle." Viewers will also hear "You Are Loved" recorded by 9-year-old Mia Bailey in the anti-bulling film "Tuff KooKooshka".
The host of Kids Take Nashville is Country Music recording artist Melissa Ramski. She also ran a mentoring session for Entertainment Law.
Her session "Avoiding The Sharks" is a must for the entertainment industry. In addition, Ramski also performed what is sure to be a hit "Moon pie My Old Friend". She also shows the kids and parents how to record a music video with her song "Never Give Up".
The show will follow the top six kids — Carly Green, Mia Bailey, Landon Wall, Veronica Anderson, Alaska Mathews and Bailey Brandner for 22 episodes.
Kids Take Nashville will air on the AMC network with the first episode to air Sunday, April 20.
