MONEY MANAGEMENT
HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I CONTRIBUTE TO MY INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS? Tax season is upon us and one deduction that people do not take enough advantage of are retirement accounts. There are several different kinds of accounts and which one you will use is depending on your personal and business finances. We will start with the most common accounts and I am assuming you do not participate in a 401K at work. For roughly 65% of the people in America they have only 2 options, a traditional IRA or a Roth IRA. A traditional IRA is an account where you can contribute up to the maximum and have that amount be tax deductible. The capital gains in the account will be taxed as regular income in the future. A Roth IRA contribution is not tax deductible but the account does grow tax
deferred, meaning that any amount of growth in the account will be exempt from capital gains tax. The advantage of individual accounts are that you can control what you purchase inside of them; stocks, bonds, mutual funds or annuities. In 2013, an individual is allowed to put in a maximum contribution of $5,500 in a traditional IRA and have the amount be tax deductible. The maximum contribution for a Roth IRA is $5,500. There are also contributions called catch ups that allow people over 50 to contribute an additional $1,000 per account. The reason for the catch up provisions is to assist people near retirement age the option to save more. These numbers are subject to amount of income an individual makes

Thanks Coach The news broke late last week. Lady Mocs head basketball coach Wes Moore is leaving to head up the program at North Carolina State. I thought the school dodged the bullet a couple of years ago when he left and then changed his mind, but not this time. As a former student and fan of most of UTC’s athletic programs, I’m saddened, somewhat shocked but surprisingly not mad. I want to be mad. I want to feel betrayed. But I can’t. And although I don’t want him to leave and don’t like it, I only have two words for him – thank you. That’s right, thank you Wes Moore, for building a true basketball dynasty in Chattanooga, always fielding not only a highly competitive team, but a real respectable winner as well. In 15 years of coaching the Lady Mocs in Chattanooga Moore won 358 games, averaging over 23 wins a season during his time here. Twice – this year’s team and 2004’s team, he won 29 games. Moore’s Lady Mocs won the Southern Conference 12 times and made nine tournament appearances during his tenure including the upset of top 15 ranked Rutgers in he first round of the ’04 NCAA Women’s Tournament and the upset of top ten ranked UT this season. Many for a long time considered women’s basketball and women’s athletics in general a benefactor of Title IX. Technically it was, but pro-
grams like Moore made the sport a must see. If it wasn’t for a lady just north of here in Knoxville by the name of Pat Summit, Moore would be considered the most successful college basketball coach in the state of Tennessee. In this case second place isn’t so bad. A tireless recruiter, a wise coach and the ability to handle varying personalities and getting young ladies to buy into what he was teaching, replacing Moore at Chattanooga will almost be as difficult as replacing Summit minus the fanfare. Women’s basketball has come a long way in the past 20 years. Actually if you put the men’s game beside the ladies, the women come out on top. Men’s basketball today is less disciplined, less structured and comes across as every man for himself. The women’s game displays five teammates working together with quite frankly a better skill set. The women’s game features plays being run, the ability to shoot jump shots of varying difficulty and nonreliance on the ability to dunk like the men’s game where half the plays seem to be dunks or attempted dunks. Plus a lot of the men these days are “one-and-done” or “twoand-done” as they leave school early to enter the NBA draft. College is just a vehicle for the men to attempt to go pro, whereas the women tend to be more well-rounded with a

majority staying in school to receive their diploma and active in the community. Personally I prefer to cheer for a team with players that actually want to be there, not just use my school. I just wish more people would come out to see the games. It’s something that has to be seen live to truly appreciate, the way people talk about hockey and used to talk about arena football.

games unless the Volunteers came to town, his work was unrivaled and somewhat unappreciated except by local boosters and fans of women’s basketball. It got so addicting for a few years that I could name the starting lineup of Moore’s team. That’s something I could never do with a John Shulman coached men’s basketball team. There was only one time I could actually do that with the men’s team, however. That was when Murray Arnold was here, may he rest in peace. Actually I had all those guys in my classes back in
the day, which of course made it easier. Of course the men’s game was different 30 years ago. These were guys that were around at least three or four years. And their record proved that. Where do we go from here? Like the men’s program, the ladies basketball program has had a long winning tradition going back 30-plus years (the program hasn’t been around as long as the men’s). Moore took it to that next level. He leaves behind a fullyloaded team for whoever takes over. This move comes at a hard time for Chancellor-elect Steve Angle as not only is the university searching for a new head coach for ladies basketball and men’s as well. And let us not forget the school is currently without an athletic director. Moore heads to NC State where he replaces former assistant Kellie Harper who was fired recently. She got her tutelage under Moore before taking over at Western Carolina and then moving to the ACC and NC State. She should be considered to replace Moore. It could be a swap of coaches, so to speak, and with her ties to Pat Summit, where she played college ball that could open up some recruiting doors for her back in Tennessee. That being said, I’m going to miss Coach Moore. The Lady Mocs seemed more like a family than just a basketball team. There was something magical about the past 15 years that cannot be put into word. As much as I hated to see this day come and hoped and prayed it wouldn’t I’m left with only one thing to say. Thanks coach.

Question Mocs? I wasn’t really surprised when Wes Moore decided to make the jump to N.C. State. When the now-former Lady Mocs basketball coach decided to stay behind in Texas after his team lost its opening round NCAA tournament game to Nebraska, I had a funny feeling. Moore’s final season in Chattanooga began with a thrilling upset win over Tennessee and ended with the Lady Mocs going scoreless in the final 5:22 of their defeat by the Lady Huskers. It had to be frustrating. And the N.C. State job seems tailor-made for Moore… …Moore was an assistant to N.C. State legend Kay Yow from 19931995. His former assistant, Kellie Harper, replaced Yow after she died in 2009. Harper, a former Lady Vols point guard, was fired after a lackluster 2012-2013 season. Moore spent 15 seasons coaching the Lady Mocs, leading them to nine NCAA tournaments. The six-time Southern Conference Coach of the Year finished with 29 wins this season and a UTC career record of 358-113. He ranks eighth among active NCAA women’s basketball coaches with a 78 percent winning percentage.
Count me among those who wish Moore the best of luck at N.C. State. We all knew someone would snag him away at some point…. …Moore’s departure is the third major vacancy in the UTChattanooga athletic department. Former athletic director Rick Hart announced his departure for Southern Methodist University last July not long after then-chancellor Roger Brown announced his impending retirement. Dr. E. Grady Bogue was named interim chancellor during the search process to find Brown’s successor. On March 1, Dr. Steve Angle was announced as the incoming chancellor. But he won’t officially take over until July 1. Nineteen days after the announcement of Angle?’s selection, interim athletic director Laura Herron, interim chancellor Bogue, chancellor-elect Angle and Mocs men’s basketball coach John Schulman decided that it was time for Schulman to step down. That’?s the “official story” from the university and it’?s actually believable. Schulman had a year left on his contract, but had also previously stated that he had no
interest in a “lame duck” season. And the university had no intention of renewing his contract after the Mocs went 13-19 this past season and 11-21 in 2011-2012… …So the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga finds itself without an athletic director, a men’s basketball coach, or a women’s basketball coach while still being officially run by an interim chancellor. To call this a “leadership vacuum” for Mocs athletics would be an enormous understatement. Some say that the aforementioned Ms. Herron has done such a good job since Hart’s departure that she should be offered the AD job. At this point, however, it’s hard to figure out who exactly will get to pick the new AD. It’s hard to imagine Dr. Angle not being in that loop and it’s hard to wonder why Dr. Bogue would want to be. There are a lot of unknowns at this point… …Moore leaves some big shoes to fill. His winning record and his contributions to the community will make him a hard act to follow for the next Lady Mocs coach. Schulman was a genuinely good guy who just
didn’t rack up enough wins to keep his job. The next Mocs coach will be given a little bit of time to get the program back on track, but UTChattanooga boosters long for the days when they could look forward to seeing their men’s basketball team have a shot at “March Madness.” And both new coaches will be reporting to an as-yetunknown athletic director facing his (or her) own job pressures. The next couple of months are going to be very interesting for Chattanooga sports fans… …In the midst of all this confusion, one UT-Chattanooga athlete is having the best week of his life. Mocs golfer Steven Fox is playing in The Masters. After winning the U.S. Amateur Championship at Cherry Hills Country Club (near Denver) last summer, Fox received the automatic invitation to Augusta that goes to the winner of that prestigious event. There are a lot of question marks in UT-Chattanooga’s athletic department right now. But Fox’s big week is providing one pretty big exclamation point as well…

WEIRD NEWS WILMINGTON, Del. - Delaware website Nameberry said baby names attracting increased interest during the year so far include Marnie, Nelly, Bruce and Thor. Nameberry’s list of 13 names garnering significantly higher views during the first three months of the year include Marnie, Marlowe, Christian and Nellie, NBC News reported Friday. The list also included Bruce, Mavis, Wilder and Finnigan. The site said interest in Thor, the Norse god of thunder, was likely inspired by Chris Hemsworth’s portrayal in “Thor” and “The Avengers,” while Severine’s popularity was likely boosted by the Berenice Marlohe’s character in “Skyfall.” The list was rounded out by Phaedra, Mingus and Linnea.

The Denny’s Wedding Chapel officially opened for business Wednesday and the restaurant said wedding parties will receive 20 percent off their food bills, the Las Vegas Sun reported Thursday. The wedding packages include the space, celebratory beverage and a cake made from the restaurant chain’s Pancake Puppies breakfast offering. SANDY, Utah - Now here is a story with a lot of unanswered questions. Police are trying to track down two people accused of shooting at a woman multiple times during a violent robbery at a hotel in a town called Sandy, Utah. Investigators say a woman went to the Extended Stay America hotel to meet a man. When she knocked on the hotel room door, the meeting turned into an assault. “A female from the room exits, starts assaulting the female victim,” explained Lt. Victor Quezada of the Sandy City Police Department. “They pull her into the room and start accusing her of some things that have happened in the past.” Lt. Quezada said the attacker pulled out a silver handgun and fired at the victim’s head, narrowly missing. The woman
and man in the hotel room then fled in a pickup truck. The victim followed and jumped into the back of the attackers’ truck bed, trying to retrieve her purse. “The suspect, female, sees her in the back of the truck and takes two more shots at her,” Quezada said. The victim told police the man stopped the truck and beat her up again. When she finally jumped out, the truck was moving. SEATTLE - A Seattle company specializing in bacon-flavored products said its two newest products aren’t for ingestion — bacon sunscreen and bacon-flavored condoms. J&D’s Foods, famous for products included bacon-flavored salt and “baconnaise” sandwich spread, said it is releasing an SPF 30 sunscreen designed to keep the wearer “smelling like something delicious is cooking for several hours,” WEWSTV, Cleveland, reported Monday. The company is also releasing condoms that look like bacon and are coated with “an ultra-premium Bacon-flavored personal lubricant.” The bottles of sunscreen and condom threepacks each cost $9.99. SALT LAKE CITY - Police in Salt Lake City said a man charged with setting fire to his wife’s clothing while she slept was upset about the woman’s snoring. Investigators said they responded last week to the home of Bryce Ray Whitaker, 60, on a report of a fire, the (Salt Lake City) Deseret News reported. Whitaker told officers he lit a candle on his gas stove and used it to ignite his wife’s pants and a box while she took a nap. He said he decided to light the fire after he and the woman argued about “her snoring and her stuff.” Police said Whitaker woke his wife up when the fire got out of control and they fled the house. Whitaker was charged Thursday in 3rd District Court with a first-degree felony count of aggravated arson. ST. PETERSBURG, FL - That, apparently, is a rule that was never taught to one 11-year-old Florida boy who did just that...and had his finger bitten
off. While he might not have been the best at teaching common sense lessons, the boy’s dad was prepared to take control of the situation, by pulling the dog out of the cage and shooting it several times. This was no revenge killing. The father was trying to recover the finger, which he did. The story does not give details so I will leave it to you to speculate on how he did that. After removing the severed finger from the dog’s stomach he waited for emergency responders to arrive. The boy was air-lifted to All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg for treatment. His condition was not immediately released. A preliminary investigation supports a father’s account of the shooting and Manatee County Animal Control removed the dog’s remains from the home.
England and Australia. The roundup paid $13-per-pound for captured rattlers, featured about 2,160 pounds of rattlesnakes being weighed, the most since the 2,168-pound total in 2010, the Abilene (Texas) Reporter-News reported Monday. “The importance of this is to control the snake population and to inform the public,” Texas Game Warden George Pasley said. “You see all these snakes here and you think there can’t be many left in the wild, but there’s plenty. We see rattlesnakes all the time. I have seen no shortage of rattlesnakes.” Kathleen and Darrell McIntyre of Childress won a $400 prize for capturing the longest snake. It measured 78 inches.
ST. PAUL, Minn. - A Minnesota man said he makes his daily 18-mile commute year-round on an unusual vehicle — a unicycle. Bob Clark, 51, said he travels to his office in downtown St. Paul every day on a unicycle, regardless of the weather, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported Monday. “It’s not as hard as most people think it is,” Clark said. “Anyone who can ride a bike can ride a unicycle, with a little practice. It’s a mind-body thing that happens automatically.” Clark said he owns four unicycles and averages about 10 mph in the winter and 12 mph in the summer. He said riding his unicycle in public gets him a lot of attention. “The comments are 99 percent positive,” he said. “Lots of people stick their cellphones out the car window to take a picture.” However, he does have to deal with the remaining 1 percent. “I had a firecracker thrown at me once,” Clark said. “Most people,” he said, “just ask where the other wheel is.”

GRAVY STAINS FROM WALLY
IN HONOR OF THE MEMORY OF WALLY WITKOWSKI HERE’S SOME VINTAGE WISDOM FROM FEBRUARY 27, 2003 Yesterday one of my co-workers laid out of work. He said his stomach was queasy and his head was pounding. He said he thought he had come done with the flu or something. Being an old master at the art of the work dodge, I called him and made him spill the beans. He admitted that him and some buddies were out pounding a few beers and that he was terribly hung-over. I asked him how many beers he had consumed in his night of two-fisted debauch-

Now all this happened many years ago and I have since learned to avoid hangovers at all costs. If you do happen to get a hangover, remember, don’t bitch, you brought it on yourself.

She was accompanied by Glen Campbell on guitar, Hal Blaine on drums and Darlene Love And The Blossoms on backup vocals. Her highest charting follow-up would be “Johnny Loves Me”, which peaked at #21 on the Billboard chart. The Beatles’ original bass player, 22-yearold Stuart Sutcliffe, died of a brain hemorrhage. Sutcliffe was included in the band because he had the equipment and place to rehearse, although he couldn’t play very well. His girlfriend, Astrid Kirchherr, created The Beatle haircut for Stu, and John and Paul followed soon after. Sutcliffe can be heard on very early Beatle tracks included on “Anthology 1”. He left the band in 1961 to resume painting because his headaches were getting too severe to play. 11996633 “Surfin’ USA” by the Beach Boys was released in the US, where it will become the group’s second Billboard chart-maker, reaching #3. The song was a note-for-note copy of Chuck Berry’s “Sweet Little Sixteen” with new lyrics. After Berry sued, he was granted royalties and all further issues of the song gave him writing credit. 11996644 The Supremes record “Where Did Our Love Go” at Motown Studios in Detroit. The song would become the first of their five straight US number one singles. Capitol and Vee Jay Records settle their feud out of court over the rights to recordings by The Beatles. Capitol contended in the suit that Vee Jay’s rights to the Beatles had been cancelled on August 8th 1963, for non-payment of royalties. Vee Jay was forced to stop selling “From Me To You”, “Please Please Me”, “Love Me Do” and other early Beatle releases. The Beatles set another music industry record when they had 14 songs on the Billboard Hot 100. The songs ranged from “Can’t Buy Me Love” at #1 to “Love Me Do” at #81. 11996655 Bruce Johnston joins The Beach Boys as

Jan Berry, the younger half of Jan And Dean was paralyzed after he ran his Corvette into a parked truck on a side street in Beverly Hills. Berry suffered total physical paralysis for over a year as well as extensive brain damage which made it impossible to return to performing. The pair started their hit streak in 1958 with “Jennie Lee” and followed with “Baby Talk”, “Surf City”, “Sidewalk Surfin’”, “Drag City”, “Dead Man’s Curve”, “The Little Old Lady From Pasadena” and “Popsicle”. Jan’s accident ended their career as hit makers, although they attempted a comeback in 1978 after the biographical movie, Dead Man’s Curve, was shown on TV. 11 996677 Paving the way for what would become an FM radio format, San Francisco’s KMPXFM begins playing Rock ‘n’ Roll album cuts instead of 45 RPM singles.

He was 35. Peter Frampton went to #1 on the Billboard album chart with “Frampton Comes Alive”. The LP would stay on the chart for 97 weeks and sell over 6 million copies. It is still one of the largest selling ‘live’ albums of all time, behind Garth Brooks’ “Double Live”, “Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band Live 1975 - ‘85” and “The Eagles Live”. 11997777
WHERE’S MY ENIGMA?!
11997700 Paul McCartney announces a “temporary break with The Beatles,” citing “personal differences” and adding that he will no longer record with John Lennon. Paul disapproved of Yoko Ono and of Beatles financial advisor Allen Klein. When a reporter called Lennon to comment upon McCartney’s resignation, John said, “Paul hasn’t left. I sacked him.” A week after McCartney’s announcement, he released his first solo album, spelling the end of The Beatles. The Progressive Rock band Emerson, Lake And Palmer was formed when drummer Carl Palmer joined keyboardist Keith Emerson and singer / guitarist Greg Lake. Doors singer Jim Morrison is dragged off stage by keyboardist Ray Manzarek during a concert in Boston, when Morrison screams to the audience, ‘Would you like to see my (genitals)?’. Theater management quickly switched off the power. Morrison had been arrested in Miami a year earlier for “lewd and lascivious behavior” during a performance. Peter Green, founding member of

ABBA earned their only number 1 hit in the United States when “Dancing Queen” went to the top. The song also led the charts in 13 other countries. After being paid $40,000 for a show in Sydney, Australia, Alice Cooper is placed under house arrest at his hotel until he posts a bond for $59,632. That amount was the sum that a local promoter claimed to have paid Cooper for a 1975 Australia tour he never made. The two settle when it is found that the promoter did not fulfill his part of the agreement either. 11997788 Eddie Money saw his first US hit, “Baby Hold On” enter the Billboard chart, where it would reach #11.

11998822 “Ebony and Ivory”, a duet by Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney, debuts on the US charts at #29. It will eventually reach number one in both the US and UK, becoming Wonder’s first British chart topper. The song listed at #59 on Billboard’s Greatest Songs of all time, but in October 2007 it was named “the worst duet in history” by BBC 6 Music listeners and these days gets little airplay on either side of the Atlantic. 11998833 Pete Farndon, bassist for The Pretenders on their US Top 20 hits “Brass In Pocket” (1980) and “Back On The Chain Gang” (1983), died of a drug overdose. He was 30 years old. 11998855 A court ruling gave the Rock group Boston the right to record for MCA instead of CBS. The legal dispute had prevented the release of the band’s third album for more than five years. 11 998888 Alice Cooper nearly hanged himself while rehearsing his act when a safety rope broke and left him swinging by his neck. He was promptly rescued by a quick thinking roadie.
Brook Benton, most often remembered for his 1970 #4 hit, “A Rainy Night In Georgia”, died of complications from spinal meningitis at the age of 57.

Dave Prater of Sam And Dave was killed in a car accident near Sycamore, Georgia while driving to his mother’s house. He was 50 years old. The original duo had split on New Year’s Eve, 1981 and Prater

Worldwide, “Dark Side of the Moon” has sold more than 25 million copies. An electrician hired to install a security system at Kurt Cobain’s residence finds the body of the 27-year-old Nirvana front man lying on the floor of a room above the garage with a shotgun on his chest and a suicide note nearby. Not everyone was convinced his death was a suicide and The Mystery Of Kurt Cobain’s Death is still a hotly debated topic today. 11999988 Singer George Michael is arrested in a public restroom in Beverly Hills for lewd conduct. He acknowledged his homosexuality on CNN a few days later and was sentenced to community service for the incident.

NEVER LIKED THE BEATLES
NEVER LOVED ELVIS JIM SELLS I assure you that it takes a hardy soul to survive a brain hemorrhage; it takes something entirely beyond the pale to survive a double brain hemorrhage. To survive that and return to recording music is nigh unfathomable … Meet Edwyn Collins, the aforementioned soul. If you are lucky, you might remember from the single, “A Girl Like You”, from the Empire Records soundtrack. If you are luckier still, you might remember his transcendent work with Orange Juice. Moreover, if you are the luckiest of them all, you might be listening to his latest album, “Understated”. The hollow jangly guitar tones, the Northern Soul grooves, that voice (a bit rougher for the ride, but still wonderful) – all these elements are present on “Understated”. While the lyrical content is a bit more somber, drawing as it does from his continuing recovery from his near death experi-

ence, the honesty of the record more than compensates for any missing bon mots. When Edwyn sings, “I’m so happy to be alive”, on “Forsooth”, the effect is stunning, expressing a brazenly naked love of life that would embarrass hipsters everywhere.
cumstances for all they are worth and have people falling all over themselves to tell him how wonderful he is. Instead, he never even considers it, only stating simply, “I feel alive/it’s good to feel” and “What the heck/I’m living now”. What Edwyn Collins has lost in lyrical complexity is more than offset by the directness of his newer works that hits like a freight train. Damn, this is good …
“Dilemma” is a stone soul rave up. The limitations of Edwyn’s voice show him struggling to hit all the notes perfectly, but somehow that only adds to the groove here. “Dilemma, that’s All the tunes here are fantastic, me, that’s me all over”, indeed. with some stronger than others but no weak one to be found. This smokes. “Too Bad (That’s Sad)”, “Down “Baby Jean” notes “I’ve got the Line”, “In the Now” … all of music to see me through”, with them are wonderful. It is intersome smoking organ and guitar esting to hear Edwyn Collins’ accompaniment, and that is work now, when he is physicalpoint 1A. Edwyn is glad to be ly unable to be fully involved in alive and music is what brought his recordings. He has become him back. “Carry On, Carry On” equal parts auteur and ringis another note-perfect 60s master, performing both roles soul tune, while “31 Years” with aplomb.

It would almost be worth buying just to show Edwyn some support, but he has rendered that point moot because this is great music.

Old man winter is hanging on like the last Twinkie in the store, but we know that time of year we all love is just around the corner. With Easter behind us, the next official holiday we will celebrate is Earth Day on April 22. Way back in 1970, Senator Gaylord Nelson wanted to create awareness for the environment and created Earth Day. Today, more than 175 countries and 500,000,000 people observe Earth day in one way or another. As we evolve with the changing world and its ways, we have learned much about the need to recycle, to save energy, and to share with those less fortunate.
