Abstract: A computer-based 401(k) plan offers unlimited access to virtually all SEC-regulated investment options--with no restrictions on the number of mutual fund families or their investments that a company can choose for its plan. The system and method provide an end-user computer-based system with individualized accountability as opposed to prior art pooled systems.

Abstract: A support device (10) for a football, particularly a rugby football (B), comprises a flexible bag (12) having a flat base (18) with sides (12a) formed from tapered sections of a woven nylon material (for example) defining a generally ogival shape. The bag (12) is filled with a malleable material, such as loose granular material, which does not occupy the whole of the maximum volume of the bag, such that a ball (B) may be placed on the bag which can be deformed and shaped to form a pocket (16) which serves to hold the ball in a chosen attitude for place kicking.
