2008-2009 Memphis Grizzlies Season Preview
2008 Memphis Grizzlies preview from the Maddux Sports experts. In addition to the free previews Maddux also provides FREE NBA DAILY PICKS.
As it was last season, this year the Memphis Grizzlies (22- 60) will be the only club in the Southwest that won't make the playoffs. Why have the Grizzlies been so bad for so long? The answer is simple—ownership. At this point, the team is in a no-win situation. They are restricted from moving again and, yet, they are unable to draw anywhere what they need in order to make their nut. Last season, after posting a 13-33 record in the first half, they started to cut expenses by sending star Pau Gasol to the Lakers for Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenton, the rights to Marc Gasol and two first-round picks. Although they sent their star power packing, the deal gave the team some depth.
Memphis was ranked 21st overall on offensive efficiency. They did hit 49.2% of their twos, which made them ninth overall in the NBA. But turnovers and putting up too many threes really hurt the team. Their passing was bad and often nonexistent. Just 51.4% of their baskets included an assist. After Gasol was traded, the offensive efficiency slumped to 27th. The club's defense was rankled 28th as the Grizzlies allowed too many lay-ups. They were 29th when it came to steals.
Talented guard and point producer O.J. Mayo joins the club as a rookie. His summer league performance was topnotch. Rookie forward Darrell Arthur looked tough under the boards this summer, while rookie Marc Gasol, at center, could help beef up the club's inside game. Forward Antoine Walker has been added; perhaps he can improve the team's three-point accuracy.
In his second year, guard Rudy Gay put up 20.1 PPG and took down 6.2 RPG. Forward and third-year player Hakim Warrick hit 50% of his twos, notching 11.4 PPG. There's hope that free agent center Marc Gasol can be a difference-maker but he's still an unknown. Swingman Darko Milicic offers some decent backup and inside man Antoine Walker brings shooting capability.
It's hoped that guard O.J. Mayo, a rookie, will be solid at the point. Rookie Mayo has an array of talents that should allow him to be successful.Guard Mike Conley, who enters his second year, is good for just 9.4 PPG. He needs to score more. The vets on the Grizzlies simply want to win. Six-year vet Marko Jaric offers sage judgement and advice. Point guard Kyle Lowry had 9.6 PPG, 3.6 APG and 3.0 RPG. That's decent output when playing 25.5 MPG. Second-year guard Javaris Crittenton offered some minutes last season.
The Grizzlies lack a solid inside game, but they do possess two talented, young guards and a developing wing in Gay. There's speed and athleticism on this team. It will certainly take them some time to get their act together. Expect the club to finish in last-place in the Southwest Division and somewhere near the bottom of the conference. If they can make a few moves, two or three, during the next few years, they'll be one of the best teams in the NBA.
If you liked the 08 Memphis Grizzlies team preview read up on the rest of their Southwest Division basketball rivals like the Mavericks, Spurs, Hornets, and Rockets.

Barristers call for Yes vote
Bar Council says court is 'essential step'
The Bar Council has called for a Yes vote in the Court of Appeal referendum.
The Bar Council has called for a Yes vote in the Court of Appeal referendum, describing the proposal as "an essential step" to address serious delays in the Supreme Court.
The barristers' representative group said the current backlog of appeals was "extremely damaging to the interests of individuals, families and companies", as well as to Ireland's international reputation. "The delays have arisen notwithstanding strenuous efforts by the Supreme Court to address them," it added in a statement.
"The establishment of a new Court of Appeal will improve the efficiency of the courts system and thereby significantly enhance access to justice for all citizens as well as the international reputation of the State," the Bar Council said.
"It will also allow the Supreme Court to concentrate on cases which involve substantial points of law or issues of significant public importance. No convincing argument has been made against this proposal."
Earlier this week, the Law Society wrote to all 9,000 solicitors in the State urging them to vote Yes.

If she could give her life for the 16-year-old girl killed last week outside a St. Paul high school, she would. Those tearful words came Monday, July 9, from the sister of the driver charged in last week's crash.
"If God would accept my life instead of hers, I would give it," Leticia Viveros said outside a Ramsey County courtroom after her brother made his first appearance.
A family friend of Clarisse Grime, the girl who died near Harding High School, embraced Viveros, and both women sobbed. Carlos Viveros-Colorado's attorney, Alberto Miera, also expressed his apologies for the 50-year-old man, saying, "He is truly sorry."
The Ramsey County attorney's office on Friday charged Viveros-Colorado with criminal vehicular homicide in the Thursday afternoon crash.
Police said the St. Paul man was driving east on Third Street and turning left onto Hazelwood Street when he hit a fire hydrant, careened across Hazelwood Street, struck a "no parking" sign and barreled about 50 feet down an embankment.
Grime and her boyfriend, Eduardo Vazquez-Torres, 17, were sitting under a tree near the Harding High sign when Viveros-Colorado's sport-utility vehicle struck them. They were waiting for a bus after summer school classes.
Grime died at the scene; Vazquez-Torres suffered minor injuries.
Miera said his client was not turning left but heading straight on Third Street. He was going home from his job at a bakery. His arm and leg went numb, he couldn't move his leg to step on the brake and he panicked, hitting the gas, Miera said. He thought he was going to hit a parked car, the attorney said.
Viveros-Colorado is not an ogre, Miera said.
"But for the grace of God, I could be standing in the wrong place when a car comes or I could lose control of a vehicle because of some unforeseen circumstance," he said.
Two witnesses estimated Viveros-Colorado was traveling at least 50 mph, according to the criminal complaint. Miera said another witness described Viveros-Colorado as driving about 40 mph, close to the speed limit.
Viveros-Colorado saw the boy but not the girl, Miera said.
After the accident, "he clearly was in shock," the attorney said. He called his sister.
The woman, Viveros, approached officers at the scene, saying she came to find out what happened, the complaint said. She told officers her brother is undocumented and in the United States illegally.
Grime's family friend thanked Viveros for her actions when she hugged her outside the courtroom Monday. "I'm proud of you," Marta Kifle said. "You tell the truth to the police. That's a lot to ask."
Records show Viveros-Colorado has never had a Minnesota driver's license. But Miera said his client has tried to be as responsible as he could under the circumstances — he could not get a license because he is an undocumented immigrant.
However, he obtained car insurance, which many undocumented immigrants don't do because they don't want to bring attention to themselves, Miera pointed out.
Viveros-Colorado took care of his adult daughter and her three young children, Miera and Viveros said. His sister said he took care of the grandchildren in the afternoons and Saturdays when his daughter was working.
"He was working (to support) his daughter," Viveros said.
The only previous charge on Viveros-Colorado's record was a 2001 DWI. He's also had speeding tickets. At the time of the DWI, he had had an expired Mexican driver's license, according to a police report.
Miera said Viveros-Colorado was not under the influence when the accident happened.
"All he can say is, 'I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart and I know there will be consequences,' " Miera said of the accident. "He's a truly humble, good man who has tried to learn from his mistakes, which have been minimal."
After his 2001 conviction, the federal agency then known as Immigration and Naturalization Service ordered Viveros-Colorado to leave the country and hedid so voluntarily, Miera said. He returned to the U.S. about two years later, he said.
Ramsey County District Judge Salvador Rosas set bail Monday at $100,000, as requested by the county attorney's office. Miera had asked for $20,000 bail, saying his client was not a flight risk.
Viveros-Colorado was being held Monday in the Ramsey County Jail. His next court appearance was scheduled for July 30.
Vazquez-Torres, who attended Monday's hearing, disagreed with Miera's contention that Viveros-Colorado stayed at the scene of the accident. He said he thought the driver tried to leave.
Grime was born in Ethiopia and moved with her family to the United States from Italy 21/2 years ago. She earned all A's and B's in school and dreamed of becoming a doctor, said her aunt, Meseret Semeani.
"She's a little angel for our family," she said. "She didn't deserve this."

— A fund has been set up to help Clarisse Grime's family with her funeral expenses. Donations can be made to the Clarisse Grime Fund at any Wells Fargo Bank.
— Donations also will be collected for the family at the Cherry Pit Bar and Grill in St. Paul during the all-Harding High School reunion from 8 to 11:30 p.m. Saturday, July 14. The bar is at 735 White Bear Ave.

Plumbing problems turns into a huge deal and greatly affect your house as well as your belongings. Stop plumbing issues before they begin by applying the following tips. Buckeye
In order to avoid the pipes from freezing, it is advisable to seal off air vents, cracks and access doors. So as to keep the warmth in as well as the cold out, you can try using insulation or caulk. In the event that a leak occurs, make it a point to remind everyone where the master circuit breaker is very it might be turn off immediately.
Roots from a tree in your outdoor area can be a real headache with regards to plumbing. Make certain for those who have a major tree or bush or some form of plant with a big root system, that you ask your plumbing company about root killing agents. It is possible to flush these down your toilet and kill any roots that could be blocking your pipes and save yourself lots of money by stopping a backup before it takes place.
To stop your frozen pipes from bursting, leave the closest faucet onto provide the water a way to escape. Doing this provides pressure relief, and might spare you the harm to a burst pipe.
Look at the faucets for leaks. Look into the knobs along with the faucet itself. Numerous gallons of water every day might be wasted because of leaks and that's not good if you're paying your water bill. By stopping a leak now, you can save yourself a ton of money. Leaks can grow over time as well, so avoid a disaster and view all faucets for leaks!
If water backs up from one sink to a different, this is due to the lines are connected. The area of the branch line first device may be beyond another, but most likely additionally there is a blockage in the branch line connecting both the devices at the same time. This blockage must be cleaned.
When your plumbing is making strange noises you could have lost something called your "air cushion". To transform this back on, you're gonna must shut off your main water supply. Run all faucets in your house after which turn back on your own main water supply. This will make everything sound better again.
Many individuals wonder the location where the fruit flies are from. Each plumbing fixture has a self-sealed reserve that holds about two servings of water. If those pipes are broken or usually do not seal off, then odors and residue might cause fruit flies. It is strongly recommended before almost anything to clean your pipes using bleach. When the flies return, contact a professional.
Keep your garbage disposal clean. This can be done in many ways. Pour some dish soap in and let the disposal run for a couple minutes with some cold water. Make sure to run it regularly, or else, you can get rust. To reduce foul odors, grind lemon or some other citrus peels. You may clean the walls of the disposal by grinding small fruit pits or egg shells.
Make sure that everyone within your household knows how to shut down the main water supply, or is able to contact someone that can. In the case of a burst pipe or any other water-related emergency, you need to immediately switch off the liquid to avoid flooding, structural damage, as well as a sky-high water bill.
Water Bill
Check how well your toilets are flushing. In case the handle has to be played with to help keep the water from running constantly, or if it needs to be held down several times as a way to flush, you may need to switch out several of the parts inside your tank. This is not expensive, and it also will help decrease your monthly water bill. It could also imply that you avoid the embarrassment from the flushing system breaking when you have visitors!
Try to update your internal toilet components from time to time. If you need to hold along the handle for many years to flush your toilet, you may want to replace a worn piece. This improvement will assist you to save a ton of money on the water bill in the past year.
Execute a routine check around your house on a monthly basis on each faucet to be certain you can find no warning signs of leaks or drips. After a while, leaks could add lots of money to your water bill and definately will worsen unless you keep up with the problem.
Plumbing problems aren't so tough to manage in case you have knowledge of the way to fix basic plumbing problems. Next time you're thinking of calling an expensive plumber, pull-up this short article instead and try to fix the problem yourself together with the tips you've read here today.

Facing the Odds: The Mathematics of Gambling and Other Risks
The purpose of this curriculum is to enhance students' interest in mathematics and provide the knowledge and skills that can help students to think more critically. This curriculum aims to make mathematics more meaningful to students and more relevant to their daily lives by introducing concepts of probability and statistics through the use of gambling- and media-related topics. With the proliferation of gambling opportunities throughout America, young people have exposure to, and inherent curiosity in gambling-related matters; this curriculum uses this curiosity to present important mathematical concepts. For example, students will learn about randomness and chance as these concepts relate to probability and gambling, the probability of winning the lottery, and the use of statistics in the media and everyday life. This curriculum also will help students to develop critical thinking and number sense skills and to apply these skills to media, advertising, and gambling issues. In particular, students will learn to make decisions and choices about gambling activities based on mathematical reasoning. Contemporary research shows that gambling behavior is prevalent among youth and that a proportion of young people are experiencing problems related to gambling. This curriculum provides an opportunity for students to learn about mathematics through relevant contemporary social issues has the potential to increase student interest in mathematics and concurrently to diminish the likelihood of the development of addictive behaviors.

Narang Medical Limited is a leading manufacturer and exporter of medical supplies, surgical instruments, hospital equipment, laboratory products, and diagnostics. Located in New Delhi, the firm's office has about 25 thin clients.
"There has been a great investment utilisation."
Parveen Narang
Narang Medical Ltd
"We have been using thin clients for the past one year and I must say I am happy with the way things have turned out. My employees, too, seem quite satisfied because as far as they are concerned, nothing has really changed except for the better. They still use all the applications they used to, and it's faster, too. For the kind of applications we use - Tally, MS Office, IE, and IIS, I think thin clients are most appropriate. There have been no complaints of different performance on different systems - all the clients run at the same high speed. We have a server with two dual-core processors, 4 GB of RAM, and RAID 0 1 protection. Everybody has equal access to these resources from their systems.
"And look at what we have gained. "The data being centralised, management has become far easier". Software updates takes place only on the server. The administrative staff no longer need to run about to every PC to fix a system or an application every now and then. Virus protection has also gotten a lot better, as software updates have to be done only on the server. Moreover, we now have only the server to back up. Due to better organisation, maintenance costs have been brought down, and is under better control.
"There have been some even more direct cost benefits, as the workstations themselves are scaled down and so are far cheaper. No hard disk, no CD, no DVD on the clients. Expensive peripherals like printers and scanners have also been centralised, cutting down on costs. We now have a UPS connected only to the server. I do not need to buy expensive workstations for each additional staff. I can use old, outdated systems as thin clients. The old 10 Mbps hub is usable again. There has been a great investment utilisation.
"Things have been pretty stable, except for when installation and testing was going on. We had some teething problems then, but it's been nice and smooth since. A setup without thin clients is simply unthinkable for us. For similar setups, I believe thin clients are the way to go. "

Next Episode of Silent Witness is
Expert forensic pathologists speak on behalf of the voiceless in this compelling crime drama.
Nikki questions her judgement of a case in the past when she investigates the apparent suicide of a DJ. She brings what she thinks was her mistake to the attention of her colleagues, with repercussions sure to be felt amongst the deceased family members. Scott also reappears in Nikki's life, making her suspicious with everything that is going on at work.
A senior pathologist that Nikki had come to blows with is murdered and Nikki is prime suspect. The team fight to clear Nikki's name, as she suspects someone is trying to frame her. Tony learns of the pathologists death and fears that his son may be involved. Nikki is released from custody and grows ever more suspicious of Scott.
The Lyell team question who would kill a peaceful but outspoken anti-fundamentalist Muslim. DI Nina Ryman joins the team to investigate with suspicions that a member of the English Defense League is involved, however a shocking fact about correspondance the man had before his death, throws the case into chaos.
Thomas puts his personal feelings to aside, as the team have to track the extremists before they strike again. It soon becomes clear that Ryman has been shot by someone else who perhaps isn't dead after all.
A ex-convict is found brutally murdered in their home, leaving the team and forensic psychologist Sasha Blackburn to try and work out who has committed the crime. Sasha has a link to a possible suspect, Paul Raynott, however as the case continues more and more of the men who Sasha works with are drawn into the case.
The team discover that Paul may not be who he actually says he is and they then discover he has been involved in a murder case before now. A revisit to the victims of Paul's first murder victim's family reopens old wounds, as more and more victims come to light. The last link in the chain may be in Sasha's hands, but is she too close to her clients to help solve the case.
A Polish teenager becomes the victim in an armed police operation, putting the department under severe scrutiny. Soon after the inquest delivers a lawful killing verdict, the body of a mutilated Turkish man turns up near the scene of the first shooting. Vicky Sharpe has to question whether the two killings are linked and approaches Lyell to seek help in sorting through the evidence. More bodies are discovered as the investigation continues and the team get drawn into the world of Turkish gangsters.
The body of an armed police officer is found as the investigation continues. The team join the manhunt for a supposed cop killer named Bruno. Jack hopes to reach the killer first and believes he can talk him into handing himself in, before more murders are committed. As he continues his own investigation, he soon uncovers links to the gun trade in London. The other armed police officers are questioning their safety after the murder and it soon becomes apparent that the killer is very highly trained, putting more pressure on Jack and the links he has uncovered.
The Lyell team investigate the clinical shooting of a mother, stepfather and son by the River Malt, to determine who killed this picnicking family and why. The investigation soon turns to the female victim's estranged husband. The couple were in the middle of a bitter and acrimonious divorce, and records kept by the deceased show that the husband has a propensity for violence.
Working on the case is local detective Malcolm Guillam, about to retire and haunted by the death of a young woman near the River Malt ten years ago. When the present day murder brings back memories of the unsolved case, Guillam sees an opportunity to redeem himself. But leading the investigation is DCI Butcher, who is certain the estranged husband is responsible for the murder, and has little time for Guillam's perceived trip down memory lane.
Meanwhile, registrar Amy is advancing in her surgical career when news of the River Malt shooting brings back memories of the same incident that haunts DS Guillam. Attempting to bury her past, Amy is unwillingly pulled back into the same world that caused the death of her friend ten years ago and forced to confront the high-powered people she has been trying desperately to forget.
As DCI Butcher moves closer to charging the estranged husband of the family killed at the picnic, Jack and Nikki join DS Guillam in search of the truth. The team begin to realise they may have been looking down the wrong end of the telescope, and their lives are thrown into mortal danger. Soon enough, they are thrust into an unexpected and depraved world, and further murders are discovered. Jack and Nikki must fight to escape and bring those responsible to justice.
Meanwhile, Amy's dark past begins to catch up with her and she must decide whether to keep it buried or confront it head-on, risking her medical career and everything else in order to escape her demons. Amy's nightmare and the Lyell's investigation begin to converge. And when the crimes are linked to people in very high places, the team experience the difficulty of bringing the rich and powerful to justice.

EU hopes for new impetus in Vietnam trade talks
HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — The European Union is making progress in free trade talks with Vietnam but a concerted push would be needed to reach an agreement this year, the EU's top diplomat said Tuesday.
Speaking to reporters in Hanoi during a one-day visit, Catherine Ashton said the negotiations will be given "new impetus" by EU President Jose Manuel Barroso's visit to Vietnam later this month.
"Negotiations are making good progress although acceleration of talks would be required to reach an agreement before the end of the year," she said.
The EU is already Vietnam's largest export market, with shipments worth 21 billion euros ($28 billion) last year.
A free trade agreement would help Vietnam to further expand its exports to the 28 EU member countries that have a combined population of more than 500 million people.
Currently, Vietnam has a free-trade agreement with 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

'Know-nothing' Trump should leave Middle East alone, says expert after Jerusalem speech
The comments come after Donald Trump's decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital was greeted with condemnation from around the world.
Dr Ghana Karmi said: "He doesn't know anything about it.
"I'll tell you what the Middle East does not need right now is a know-nothing American President."
Israel has praised the US President's decision to recognise the Jerusalem as its capital.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Trump had made an important move towards peace.
He said: "The president's decision is an important step towards peace, for there is no peace that doesn't include Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel.
"I share President Trump's commitment to advancing peace between Israel and all of our neighbours, including the Palestinians."
Israeli Ambassador to the UK, Mark Regev, echoed Trump's statement that the move was "nothing more or less than a recognition of reality and the right thing to do".
Mr Regev said: "There is an international norm, that every country's right to choose its own capital.
"That is a sovereign right of every country on the planet."
The decision has sparked fears of violence across the Middle East with anticipation of the announcement prompting flag burning protests.
Dr Karmi said: "The reality is that the American President has endorsed an illegal situation.
"Israel is in illegal occupation of Arab Jerusalem – Arab Jerusalem – and its sovereignty over West Jerusalem is not recognised by the international community.
"That is a legal fact."
Speaking on Newsnight Dr Karmi and Turkey called for recognition of the rights of Palestinians living in the contested capital.
Chief Turkish advisor Inure Cevik said: "It is a very hard thing to turn to these people and say Jerusalem is the capital, finished.
He revealed that Turkey was frustrated by the decision as they seek to maintain a dialogue with Israel "for the sake of the Palestinians".
He said: "It is becoming harder and harder for Turkey to maintain a plausible relationship with Israel."
Mr Cevik warned that his country may be forced to sever ties with Netanyahu's administration.
Republican Congressman Lee Zeldin said he "strongly" supported his President's decision claiming it was a fact that Jerusalem was the capital of Israel.
Commentators have now claimed that the US can no longer claim to be neutral or act as a negotiator in the peace talks in the region.
Mr Zeldin responded to remarks about Trump being a "know-nothing America" by reiterating his claim that it is a fact that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.

First Of All, Welcome To EOD!
It is a very overwhelming feeling when you find yourself in a situation, and are not real sure where to start the process. Try not to worry because I happen to know that you will be all right. The very fact that you are here in search of a way to solve your financial problems means that you are already one step closer to a solution!
EOD In The Spotlight
Walking Away From Credit Cards – by Jim Cavanaugh
As Seen On Cnn.com – My follow up article to talk about my 5 minutes of exposure, and to expand on why I think using credit cards is not the best way to financial freedom.
I have also been interviewed on Blog Talk Radio by Mr. Credit Card for an entire hour.
What To Expect From Me Here At EOD
I am a very big fan of Dave Ramsey so you will hear a lot about (TMMO) The Total Money Makeover as well as his 13 week video workshop called (FPU) Financial Peace University. We are currently on a Total Money Makeover and I have been through FPU officially 3 times, which include leading and coordinating it at my church twice. I have seen each lesson so many times that I have lost count. We, being my wife and myself, have found FPU and the TMMO to be the key turning point for us financially. I have seen two sets of FPU classes benefit and make progress so I know you can too!
My Thoughts About Dave Ramsey: Some Bash Dave Ramsey, But Why
I am a believer in using Dave's baby steps to work your way out of any financial situation that you find yourself in. The reason is because instead of focusing on a number of problems at once, you are directing your energy at one item at a time with complete intensity. This allowed us to not feel so overwhelmed, and gave us a clear picture of what it was that we needed to do. The whole purpose of this blog came from my passion and extreme desire to spread the debt free message to as many people as possible. Some think I am a little extreme and others know exactly what I am talking about. Please do not mistake my sometimes, in your face views, to be anything other than my desire to help people realize their potential. You will hear ideas and strategies that continue to help me grow financially, as well as in other areas of my life.
I hope you enjoy reading Enemy Of Debt, and please feel free to contact me if you ever have a question. You can also email me ANYTIME at freedom [at] enemy of debt [dot] com.
Here Are Dave Ramsey's Baby Steps
- Baby Step 1 – Save $1,000 for your baby emergency fund, as fast as you can. It sounds hard, but you can do it, and doing so will put a buffer between you and small emergencies so you can focus on debt elimination in the next step. Baby Emergency Fund – Do It Your Way!
- Baby Step 2 – Pay off your debt using the debt snowball method. This method says to list all off your debts, not including your house, from smallest to largest. You make minimum payments on all your debt, but take any extra money and throw it at the smallest until it is gone. Your minimum from that one, plus all extra money then goes to pay off the next on the list, until they are all gone. The snowball gets bigger and bigger as each debt is knocked off and you gain tremendous motivation a long the way. I have developed a few modifications to Dave's snowball method to address special circumstances. The Debt Snowball – Do It Your Way!
- Baby Step 3 – Save 3/6 months of expenses for your fully funded emergency fund. This is your large rainy day fund, and you will need it one day so make sure you have it before moving on. Fully Funded Emergency Fund – Do It Your Way!
- Baby Step 4 – Invest 15% of your income for retirement. This will get your retirement portfolio started while you handle a few other things. (Roth IRA's or any company offered retirement.) Investing For Retirement – Do It Your Way!
- Baby Step 5 – Fund your kid's college fund. (ESA-Educational Savings Account) Being A Student Without A Student Loan
- Baby Step 6 – Pay off your home early and become completely debt free! This will allow you to build wealth and retire faster than you could ever imagine!
- Baby Step 7 – Build wealth and give! Now your income has become a tool to building wealth, just remember to give like never before. Hording money isn't the point of building wealth so keep that in mind. It takes the average family on a TMMO, 7 years to reach this baby step. What are you waiting for?
That's the plan that is leading us to Financial Peace. We started in January 2008, with just over $25,000 in debt, and are now debt free! Becoming debt free was addicting, and at times it was easy to lose focus. In order to remain addicted to becoming/staying debt free, I created these 12 Steps which provided guidance along the way.

At 8:45 on Monday morning, Springs School students from kindergarten through fifth grade gathered in the gym in front of a large screen, which was connected to Skype. On the screen was Lisa Seff, their science teacher, reporting from Fairbanks, Alaska, where it was 4:45 a.m. and a bone-chilling minus 18 degrees.
"Mrs. Seff, did you see the aurora borealis?" asked a pupil.
Indeed she had — from the plane as it began its descent into Fairbanks International Airport.
"At first I thought I was looking at wisps of clouds in the sky," Ms. Seff said. "Then suddenly, they were tinged with green and reds, and next everything erupted into a spectacular show of lights and colors around a shimmering green curtain."
Ms. Seff is now back in Springs, where she has taught science for 17 years. Her weeklong sortie to Alaska was part of something called the PolarTREC (Teachers and Researchers Exploring and Collaborating) program, through which she will join other educators on an August expedition to the Arctic, her second such trip.
The PolarTREC program is funded by the National Science Foundation Office of Polar Regions, and Springs School is one of only 12 schools in the country to have received this grant since grants were introduced in 2007.
The school was awarded its first in 2012, when Ms. Seff joined a PolarTREC research team on an expedition to Barrow, Alaska, to study endangered bowhead whales that congregate in a feeding hot spot off the coast. Ms. Seff found the study and its results enormously valuable in helping her charges in Springs understand the ecosystem that links atmosphere, ocean, plankton, and predators.
"Since we also live in a community surrounded by water, this information is vital for students to understand and appreciate," she said at the time. She shared her findings by posting them online, even having her detailed journals from the trip translated into Spanish so the entire community could read them.
During that 2012 expedition, Ms. Seff met Carin Ashjian, a senior scientist with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, Mass., whose special interest is the study of zooplankton in the polar region, which has been severely impacted by climate change. When Dr. Ashjian and her team applied once again for a PolarTREC grant — specifically, to study the food web and zooplankton in the Beaufort Sea, in the Arctic Ocean — she included Ms. Seff in her proposal.
And so, in August, the Springs teacher will trade a bathing suit for a down-filled parka and head to the Arctic once again.
"This will be a very different trip from my first one," she said. "Whereas in 2012 we stayed on land and got on a boat each day to conduct our research, this time we'll be living onboard a ship for four weeks."
The ship happens to be the Sikuliaq, one of the newest and most advanced oceanographic research vessels in the world. Owned by the National Science Foundation and operated by the University of Alaska in Fairbanks, the 261-foot ship is capable of breaking ice up to 2.5 feet thick. Ice breaking will be necessary even in August, as the Sikuliaq, carrying approximately 26 researchers and 26 support crew, heads to the Beaufort Sea, where the climate is severe and the waters frozen for most of the year. Historically, only a narrow pass of approximately 61 miles has opened in August and September, but recently the ice-free area of late summer has greatly expanded.
According to the PolarTREC website, the focus of the August study is to "explore and identify the mechanisms linking broad-scale atmospheric forcing, ocean physical response, prey-base condition and distribution, upper trophic level animal aggregations, and climate change along the Beaufort Shelf break."
In other words, explained Ms. Seff, "we'll be studying the feeding opportunities in the region for animals such as beluga whales, seabirds, and seals."
As a schoolteacher, she received funding from PolarTREC for equipment and training for a journaling web platform, available onboard the Sikuliaq, that will not only link students with her activities in the field but also educate them about life onboard an oceangoing vessel and about the many career possibilities available on research expeditions.
Ms. Seff believes that teaching and learning become inherently spontaneous and student-centered when moved from the confines of the classroom into the world at large.
"There is simply no comparison," she said. "Teaching kids from the field allows a teacher to blow the walls off the classroom by connecting them directly to authentic, real-time research. It gives them an inside view, something that's very different from what a typical textbook can convey. It makes the learning experience for the students real."

NDSU researchers work on self-driving car model
FARGO—NDSU researchers could be a 'driving force' in the development of self-driving cars.
Some say it's the way of the future; Self-Driving Cars.
While they aren't quite like Knight Rider's KITT, experts say we're at the point that it's not an "if" these cars will be on our roadways, it's "when" but will they be safe?
"There's a lot of talk of how do we get these cars to communicate with one another," said Jeremy Straub, Researcher.
Which is what researchers at NDSU are working on.
"We're trying to actually create systems and softwares to actually detect and respond to different types of issues," said Straub.
They've been using small-scaled models and computer simulations to figure out what those issues may be.
Whether it's as small as a bad sensor to something as big as the car being hacked, and anything in between.
"There's always a chance for a security vulnerability, very complex systems such as self-driving cars might contain vulnerabilities that may be potentially exploited by hackers," said Straub.
But, try not to fret, the researchers say the work they're doing is to stay ahead of the curve.
"More likely that a sensor is going to fail in the grand scheme of things instead of someone hacking in," said Straub.
"Really just kind of set the baseline when this stuff starts getting big. We already have some measures in place," said Jordan Harman, Student Researcher.
To keep every man and machine safe on our roadways.
The researchers have been working on this project for about 4-months and hope to have a working model by the end of the semester.
10-million self-driving cars are expected to be on the road by 2020.

The purported benefits of Probiotic 10 include probiotic organisms that help digest food, maintain healthy intestinal flora, absorb nutrients and contribute to proper immune system performance, states Nature's Bounty, the product's manufacturer. Each serving of the product contains 20 billion live probiotic cultures of 10 separate naturally occurring probiotic organisms.
Probiotics are live yeasts and bacteria that benefit the human body, especially the digestive system. They are good bacteria that naturally occur in the body and in foods including chocolate and yogurt, and they aid intestinal health, explains WebMD. Most strains of probiotics are lactobacillus, which can ease diarrhea and lactose intolerance, or bifidobacterium, which can ease conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome. Some strains can ease eczema, prevent colds and allergies, and promote oral, vaginal and urinary health. Patients should consult their doctors to determine which probiotics may help them.

They say a name is everything especially in a country surrounded by rank and position. The Debutante by Kathleen Tessaro details the live of Cate who recently returned to London from New York in attempts to escape her past. While her mother is on hiatus in Spain, Cate begins working for her Aunt Rachel at an auction house. In an attempt to revive her niece, Rachel sends Cate to Devon to value the contents of the Endsleigh House. This grand home was a romantic gesture to Irene Blythe from her husband; yet now it is a decrepit and crumbling property which will become a resort. As Cate enters this Victorian world she is thrust back in time to the World Wars and dominates women. Yet there is something particularly intriguing about the Blythe women and everything surrounding them.
As Cate and Jack –Rachel's assistant- begin to catalogue the items Rachel stumbles a shoebox with secrets from their past and she confiscates them quickly. As she uncovers their secrets she becomes intrigued with every detail of their lives and the disappearance of Baby Blythe. This hidden shoebox includes- 'an exquisite pair of dancing shoes from the 1930's, a photograph, a dance card, and Tiffany bracelet. Each of these items links to important details and information about the Blythe sisters that Cate immerses herself into researching their stories. Instead of confronting her own problems Cate delves into this research in search of change and meaning which maybe she can submerse into her own life. After carefully piecing together each of the clues about the Blythe sisters Cate is able to learn more about herself. Yet the story of the Blythe sisters is not a happy one, it is rife with disappointment, destruction, addictive love, and elaborate distractions. Each of these brings Cate closer to a realization about her life and the troubles she has left behind in New York.
As I began this novel I found myself quickly enveloped into the Blythe sister's mystery, I wanted to know what happened to these women and how could the triumph so readily. I particularly found it interesting that Tessaro included letters from Baby Blythe that helped prune the story and combine the information about Cate. In multiple flashbacks we see Cate's transition from an up and coming painter to a demolished and heartbroken woman. Particularly at the close of the novel I was yearning for more about these women about how they are changing Cate's life.
Tessaro's writing is evasive when it should be and indulgent when it should be. I found myself guessing the identity of these women and much more to Cate's. At the close of the novel I found myself guessing to the identity of the women as well as the woman in the nursing home. One important factor about the novel is the historical context surrounding it: Many women were sent to hospitals for no reason at all besides what they coined as hysteria to many unbelievable diseases. If you are looking for a novel to get lost in this is truly a good pick while it may not have a substantial amount of information it is intriguing and gripping.

If you'd like me to notify you via email when doors are open, please pop your details below.
This bootcamp was crafted with love for musicians, artists and creatives like you who are sick of leaving their art on the back-burner.
The makers who can't seem to find enough hours in the day to keep on top of their washing and dental appointments as well as creating incredible art and music.
Those of us who know we're letting our self doubt and the fear of being judged by others hold us back from what really light us up.
Do you feel like you're just going through the motions in your life and kinda missing the whole frickin' point?
Do you tell yourself day in and day out that you're going to smash that goal, make that art, master that skill some day?
Do you beat yourself up because every New Years Eve reminds you that you let another year slip by without following through?
Yep, me too. Welcome to the club.
But today is your lucky day because you have stumbled upon the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow my friend.
I've lived your story. I know what being stuck in that procrastination filled, lack lustre, not-good-enough loop feels like and have struggled to bust myself out time and time again.
But I've learned a lot along the way about what needs to be done to get it done - hence wanting to share what I've learned with you.
This is a resistance kicking, motivation building, time bending 4 week program that'll have you knee-deep in your creative element without your partner (or your puppy) complaining that you're never attentive enough.
Do you wanna...
- Feel like your life is adding to your creativity rather than draining the life out of it (vampire style)?
- Stop holding yourself back because of fear, self doubt or "what if's"?
- Have the time and energy to dedicate to your creative pursuits?
- Start a project and actually see it through (and then celebrate with your beverage of choice)?
- Feel like you can call yourself an artist without adding "Well, kinda" to the end of the sentence?
- Actually enjoy the process of creating rather than it being a slog?
Think back to your favourite super motivated goal setting moment. For some it might be New Year's Eve, for others it might be a milestone birthday.
You raise your glass, write down your big dreams and pat yourself on the back for a job well done.
Until months down the track when you find that magical list crumpled up in a drawer and realise you haven't really taken action on any of it.
Sure, you're up to date with Game of Thrones but you didn't record that EP, perform at that open mic or write that cabaret (oops, that might just be me).
More often than not we have the best intentions. We do wholeheartedly want to get better, to create something of value and to share it with the world but it's the work that's the challenge.
Motivation and passion ebb and flow. Procrastination seems to be the king of the castle. The crazy amounts of self doubt that litter your mind seem to make it impossible.
What if you could feel more juiced up and artistic in a month than you did in the whole of last year?
What if you knew how to set yourself up for success, combat self sabotage and still have fun with it?
What if you had a tribe of awesome-sauce artists who knew exactly how you felt cheering you on from the sidelines and keeping you accountable?
It'd be pretty life-changing huh?
Yeah sure Kim, but how do you intend on doing this?
What do I get exactly?
Fair question champ.
This bootcamp isn't for the faint-hearted. You'll be:
- Getting crystal clear clarity on what creative projects you want to do and what ones you feel you "should" do
- Analysing your habits around procrastination, distraction and sabotage and exploring ways to manage them
- Figuring out what your zone of genius is, how to get into the flow more often.
- Letting go of other people's "stories and beliefs" that aren't serving you
- Discovering what lights you up and what drains your energy and creating your day around the great stuff.
- Getting really honest about what truly matters to you and taking action on the stuff that doesn't.
There will be a live workshop session with me, video tutorials, audio downloads and LOTS of deep diving juicy questions to work through.
And the best part?
You'll be in the hot seat with other artists and musicians from around the world helping you out and sharing their discoveries and experiences so you'll never feel alone!
It's hard to make these kind of changes by ourselves but much easier with others.
You'll love having help choosing a project, figuring out how you'll measure your progress and cheerleaders to keep you moving forward when you don't really feel like it.
Most of us feel so overwhelmed that we don't know how we could possibly fit another thing in. Our creative side gets shoved to the naughty corner while we priorities just about everything else because, y'know - reality.
Imagine how it would feel to...
- Let go of more things in your life that drain you.
- Start feeling like a pro rather than an amateur.
- Make creativity, space and play a higher priority.
- Understand your negative self talk and be able to move ahead because you've processed where it's come from.
- Feel like you're actually LIVING rather than existing on a Groundhog Day type loop.
You deserve more dude, you really do.
Hey, in case you don't know me, here's the run down.
Kimberley Smith, vocal coach at your service.
I've been singing for over 20 years and have had training in classical, musical theatre and contemporary music.
I am a passionate singing geek and love helping singers develop their best voice (without sucking their passion).
After I put my music on the back-burner and prioritised my corporate job for a few years, it has been my mission to get as many musicians out of their own way and pursuing the art that lights them up.
When does the course start and finish?
The course starts on February 5th and never ends! It is a completely self-paced online course - you decide when you start and when you finish.
How long do I have access to the course?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own.
What if I am unhappy with the course?
I would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact me in the first 7 days and I'll give you a full refund. That's how sure I am that this is going to ROCK. YOUR. WORLD. Cocky? Maybe. But honest? Absolutely.
This is The Moderately Tortured Artist Bootcamp.
Give your art the focus that it has been demanding of you for years and switch that niggly guilt for pride.

When you talk about fixed gear bikes with most people they tend not to understand what they are unless they can see or have a go on one - fixed gear bikes are for me at least the best thing since sliced bread and they are a great way to be a part of a popular movement while having fun, getting fit and learning bike tricks. Doing wheelies and other bike tricks is easy on a fixie compared to a standard bike because, as the fixed gear bikes for sale here show you they have very light frames, no heavy gearing mechanisms etc making them light and easy to control.
...Fixed Gear Bikes
If you are hunting for an epic fixed gear frame or just a nice cheap practice fixed gear bike - this is the perfect place to start your hunt. Often its best to build your own fixedgear from an old trackbike or otherwise un-needed parts. This is truley the best way to know your own bike, but for that you need bike parts and a bit of time and knowledge. If you want to buy a track bike or a fixed gear bike new then here is also a great place to start looking!

- BHP subject of corruption probe. BHP Billiton (NYSE:BHP) said today that following an information request from the SEC the company has found "possible violations of applicable anti-corruption laws involving interactions with government officials." The company didn't disclose the location of the projects in question, but said it wasn't related to business in China and that the firm is cooperating fully with authorities. The SEC couldn't "confirm or deny the existence or non-existence of any investigation," but sources said an investigation began in August 2009. BHP -1.6% premarket (7:00 ET).
- TARP watchdog probes Goldman role in AIG losses. Neil Barofsky, the special inspector general for TARP, plans to investigate whether securities sold by Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) led to losses at AIG (NYSE:AIG) and, by extension, if U.S. taxpayers were the victims of fraud. Barofsky is in touch with the SEC and may coordinate with the Justice Department as well. Separately, Barofsky said he may also launch a broader audit of BlackRock's (NYSE:BLK) role in TARP. Premarket: GS -0.3%, AIG +0.2% (7:00 ET).
- Regulators may rethink repo accounting. The Financial Accounting Standards Board, which is in charge of setting U.S. accounting rules, may change repo accounting methods after the SEC finishes its examination of the accounting practices at the 19 largest U.S. banks. In a letter to the House Financial Services Committee, FASB Chairman Robert Herz said the board will "work closely" with the SEC on determining whether any changes are necessary. Repo accounting has recently been in the spotlight after a bankruptcy examiner said the accounting trick led to the collapse of Lehman Brothers (OTC:LEHMQ).
- SEC could bring Lehman charges. Former SEC chairman Christopher Cox said the SEC could potentially file charges against Lehman Brothers (OTC:LEHMQ) after a bankruptcy examiner's report showed the firm "filed misleading financial reports and failed to disclose material accounting information." Cox, who was chairman of the SEC when Lehman filed for bankruptcy in September 2008, also said that neither the SEC nor the Federal Reserve were aware of Lehman's use of Repo 105 transactions.
- SEC may create new debt rules for banks. Testifying before lawmakers yesterday, the SEC's Mary Schapiro said the agency is considering new rules that would prevent financial firms from temporarily lowering their debt levels immediately before quarterly reporting deadlines as a way to mask their true risk exposure. If done intentionally, the practice violates existing guidelines, but the SEC may require stricter disclosures, and could extend the rules to all companies instead of just to banks. Recent media reports have shown that 18 large banks lowered a specific kind of debt at the end of each of the past five quarters by an average of 42% from quarterly peaks.
- Banks boost lobbying ahead of reform legislation. Banks are spending more money on donations and lobbying as lawmakers prepare to vote on financial reform legislation as soon as this week. Six of the top ten U.S. banks, including Goldman Sachs (GS), JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS), increased their donations to lawmakers in the last month. Goldman, Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB) were among seven banks that increased their lobbying in the first three months of the year, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce doubled its lobbying spending in the first quarter.
- IMF calls for taxes on banks. The IMF advised G-20 nations to tax the balance sheets, profits and compensation of financial firms in order to reduce the likelihood of another financial crisis and to cover the costs should a crisis occur. The IMF recommended that the tax, called a "Financial Stability Contribution," seek to raise between 2-4% of GDP over time, or roughly $1T-2T if all G-20 nations adopt the tax. Additionally, the IMF revised its forecast for global bank losses from the financial crisis. It now expects losses to total $2.28T, a drop of $533B from the estimate it made in October.
- Live Nation faces breach-of-contract claim. In an 8-K filing, Live Nation Entertainment (NYSE:LYV) disclosed that it faces a breach-of-contract claim by German ticketing firm CTS Eventim. Live Nation said the claims are "without merit and inconsistent with the terms of the CTS agreement," but warned that if the matter is resolved in CTS' favor, it could prevent the recently merged company from realizing "the full operational efficiencies that the combined company might otherwise obtain." LYV shares closed -3.15% in after hours trading.
- EADS takes on Boeing in tanker bid. Airbus parent EADS (OTCPK:EADSF) plans to compete directly against Boeing (NYSE:BA) for a $50B U.S. military refueling plane contract. Ralph Crosby, chairman of EADS North America, called it "a hell of an opportunity," but analysts warn it will likely be an uphill fight for EADS, as "Boeing has put significant political capital into securing this win."
- Google may buy travel software firm. Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) is said to be in talks to acquire airline IT and services provider ITA Software Inc. in a deal that could cost as much as $1B. Negotiations may still fall apart, but a successful purchase would allow Google to use ITA Software's tools to help users find online flight information, helping Google compete with travel-search features offered by Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT).
- Hedge fund assets back on top. Assets managed by the global hedge fund industry are just 2% below their previous all-time high reached in October 2007. Hedge funds collectively manage around $1.67T of assets, and the average hedge fund saw compounded gains of 24.55% last year, making 2009 the industry's best year in a decade.
- Volcano flight ban draws to an end. London's Heathrow airport became the last major European terminal to re-open after a six-day flight ban following the eruption of a volcano in Iceland. The ash cloud that shut down air travel has cost airlines an estimated $1.7B in lost revenue, and more than 100,000 flights were canceled.
- Confidence dips down. ABC's Consumer Comfort Index dropped 3 points to -50, matching a 2010 low and not far above its all-time low of -54. Positive ratings of the national economy held steady at 8%, but those who think it's a good time to buy things slipped to 24% and positive ratings of personal finances slipped to 43% from 47%.

Golf Overview
Arnold Palmer's extraordinary vision--incorporating the elevation changes as well as the breathtaking natural terrain and mountain views--created one of the finest courses in the world.
Championship Course
Championship Course
Tradition Golf Club, established in 1997, is truly the most spectacular golf course in the entire desert. The Arnold Palmer signature golf course plays against the Santa Rosa Mountains for much of the 18 holes. Playing to a member's yardage of 6515 yards, Tradition is one of those facilities that one never gets tired of. Ample fairways, with lightning fast greens, and Augusta White bunker sand, complements the daily condition to a tee. Although the first 16 holes are spectacular, the 17th hole is the true signature hole of the club. Playing from an elevated tee, your tee shot will drop over 200 hundred feet to the fairway below. The fairway, guarded by the Santa Rosa Mountains on the right and a fairway bunker and water hazard on the left, may be the finest view in all of La Quinta.
Short Course
Short Course
The 9 hole short course (3 par) at Tradition provides a true test for your short game. Although the longest hole only stretches 125 yards, playing this course in par is no simple feat. Hole number 8 plays to a maximum of 110 yards but is all carry to a very narrow and sloping green. Hole number 9 may be the best finishing hole in the entire desert. Often used as the final hole in our shoot out competitions, any team making a 3 here, can almost guarantee a win for their side.
Practice Facility
Practice Facility
Whether you're looking for a place to warm-up before your round or a looking to work on all aspects of your game, our comprehensive practice facility features top of line Callaway practice balls, seven different target greens and a separate short game area featuring many different distance and lie options. We have two practice bunkers available, one of which may be used to practice full shots out toward the practice range. During the season, a member of our staff will always be available on the driving range to assist you with your bag and to clean your clubs when you are finished. Also, please don't hesitate to speak with any member of our Golf Staff about the lesson plans available at Tradition Golf Club to help you improve your game.
