God's plan for us is to give us an abundant, full life but He never said a full calendar. So many people bound by perfectionism and unreasonable expectations, it makes it hard to enjoy life!
The original law consisted of 10 commandments, but by they wrote more until there were 613! There seems to be something in our human nature that just likes to make things more complicated.
Jesus made it more simple: "Love the Lord your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind." Then He said, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself", and on these two commandments, everything is based.
People take 10 commandments and come up with 613, Jesus says "Well if you do things the rest is taken care of." (paraphrasing)
Now this is a very difficult concept for me to grasp. I analyze everything – people, life, situations, you name it and I analyze it. I was a statistician for nearly a decade so I'm always looking for the "hidden meaning" in things. I love "Mensa moments" and discussing "deep" things…but over-thinking LIFE gives us undo stress. God doesn't want us to have feelings of inadequacy, stress or anxiety. He wants us FREE of all burdens. Don't spend time on the "What ifs" and the "I wish I never…"
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." – Matthew 11:30
Can we reduce stress? Yes, we have to simplify, but God will remove unneccessary burdens.
- STOP – In all the busyness of your day don't forget to stop, breath for a moment and pray.
- LESS is MORE – Learn to say no is hard but simpler means les stress.
- UBEU – You be you, be yourself. Life is too short to try to please everyone.
- INCLUDE GOD – When we pray, we are acknowledging that we need Him.
- FORGIVE – When we hold onto hurts we carry that person with us and let them continue to hurt us. When we don't forgive ourselves we trap ourselves in the past. Let it go!
We must become simple to become great in God.

The Justia Lawyer Directory is a listing of lawyers, legal aid organizations, and pro bono legal service organizations. Whether you were injured, are accused of a crime, or are merely engaging in everyday affairs that affect your legal rights or property, an attorney can help you resolve problems or prevent new ones from arising.
Here are just a few situations where you might want to seek the advice of an attorney:
- You were injured in a car or truck accident
- You have been arrested and charged with a crime, such as DUI or shoplifting
- You are considering separating from your spouse
- You have been subjected to harassment or other discrimination at work
Use Justia to research and compare attorneys so that you can make an informed decision when you hire your counsel.
It is important to research an attorney before hiring him or her. Be sure to evaluate an attorney's experience (types of cases handled, prior results obtained, etc.). Although prior results are not indicative of the likelihood of success in your case, they can help you make an informed decision.
Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.
Finally, research an attorney to see whether he or she has ever been subject to discipline. Although disciplinary actions do not necessarily impact the attorney's competence to handle your case, they may affect your decision whether to hire.

Yulia Vanifatieva aka Hulya is a Russian female Street artist from Moscow.
She was born in a Rybinsk in 1986. A small town on the Volga River. She began to draw, when she was 6.
2003-2008 she studied in the Ivanovo Textile Accademy. On the fashion design. But she wanted to be an artist. Also, she wouldn't leave a fashion. She would like to be between these directions.
During these periods she was unsubscribe on realistic image and had started to find your own style, and experiment with covers and materials, also the style of imagination.
After finishing education, she moved to Moscow. And began her career at the TSUM creative department like window designer. TSUM is the biggest luxury department store in Russia.
2010-2012 she studied at the British High School of Art and Design. On the 2-year course of visual communications targets practicing designers who want to develop their professional skills in graphic design and advertising with the aim of becoming art directors.
Since 2012 has began her art project PINK POWER.
"What phrase do you often see on the fence? Well, my name is [HULYA] and I submit my own project PINK POWER. In my interpretation the "pink" is a metaphor of femininity which made with "flesh and blood" and without "sweets and cakes, sweets of all kinds". PINK POWER is tough and aggressive emotional project, despite the fact that pink is perceived as naive and sentimental color.
My target is to oppose the street culture to the culture of gloss, well-being, a fanatical cult of plastic beauty. I want to take the aggression and rude from the streets. I want to take the visual language and techniques from the glamour.
In my works I use magazines instead of canvases, cosmetics instead of paint, money instead of paper, sketches in the style of fashion illustrations. I don't want to dwell on one technique, I want to experiment with surfaces and styles, I want to work with different materials. And I want to be recognized by the color and the overall concept."
"Myths evoke feelings and imagination, as they are connected with subjects, which are parts of the common heritage of mankind.
Greek myths, as well as all other fairy tales and myths, are known to people for thousands of years, remain modern and important,
because they contain the truth about the experiences, which are common for all."
PINKPOWER ARMY is the special project for the Urban Festival of Street culture FACES&LACES.
"Soldiers" of PINKPOWER ARMY are the series of personages which are inspired with famine images of goddesses from Greek mythology. They were taken as a basis for the project as one of the first archetypes of the collective unconscious. Each "soldier» has its own unique charisma and own "superpowers". For example: people and Gods subordinated to the power of love of Aphrodite , Pallas Athena – Goddess of the organized war , military strategy and wisdom, Demeter – the embodiment of primordial creative energy , Nike – Goddess of victory , Eos – Goddess of dawn and waking, Hecate – Goddess of moonlight , of all the mysterious and magical , Persephone – Goddess of the realm of dead, Psyche – the personification of soul , Artemis – Goddess of hunt , Tyche ( Fortune ) – Goddess of fortune .
PINK POWER MUSE it is special project for second biennale of street art Artmossphere.
( artmossphere.ru ) It is series of portraits. The main idea is in the the slogan – "The Power of Your Inspiration" In the base of
the project there are the archetypes of ancient Greek Muses (The Muses – ancient Greek -. «Thinking» – patron of the arts and sciences)
which are reinterpreted in the context of contemporary reality. In the role of prototypes of «Muses» are showed the real characters of my surrounding, who somehow inspire me to various artistic experiments, give me confidence, make me to go out from my comfort zone and overcome those «invisible walls», which the Biennale is dedicated in. Each prototype is a portrait, where there is no any actual likeness, but it's a stylized image of the most striking features, character and so on. Power of Pink Power – this is the creative power, that helps to discover the creative energy and to encourage the continuous experiment, overcoming fears and creating your own rules. This is that coincides with the mission of Artmossfere 2016.

Scientists Study Full Protein Content Of Baker's Yeast
A scientist at the University of Liverpool will lead a 4 million study to analyse the entire protein content of 'baker's yeast' to further understanding of how living cells function.
Many proteins that have counterparts in the human body, such as cell cycle proteins and signalling proteins, were first discovered through the study of Saccharomyces cerevisiae – a species of budding yeast, thought to have been originally isolated on the skins of grapes. Commonly used in baking and brewing it shares the complex cell structure of both plants and animals and has become a model organism for scientists studying areas such as metabolism, neurodegenerative disease and ageing.
Scientists have worked for many years to catalogue the proteins present in the yeast cell, but have yet to establish precisely how many copies of each protein are present and how they interact with each other. If researchers can quantify cellular proteins they will be able to understand more fully how cells operate and why in some cases they fail to perform their 'normal' function in the body.
Proteins in the body participate in every process of a cell – from the contraction of muscles to immune response – and scientists at the Universities of Liverpool and Manchester are using the yeast cell to understand how proteins perform these complex functions by using new proteomic technology.
Professor Rob Beynon, from the University's Proteomics and Functional Genomics Group, explains: "Our goal is to count the number of proteins inside a cell, to provide the essential link between genes and the proteins that they specify. To do this, we developed a new technology which uses artificial 'designer' proteins as tools to take a census of the proteins in a cell.
"The research should also allow us to determine how rapidly a cell builds and destroys proteins, and how they recycle the proteins that they no longer need. Understanding how all of these processes work is important to our knowledge of how the cell operates, and also allows us to develop models to predict the outcome when these systems go wrong in cases of disease. Surprisingly, approximately 20% of all genes associated with disease in humans have a counterpart in yeast."

Drivers try to cope with new car design at Daytona
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Sunday will be Danica Patrick's second Daytona 500, but it will be the first for all drivers in NASCAR's new Generation 6 car, a sleeker, lighter design that at times seems to have a mind of its own in Daytona traffic.
"You really can't get close to each other side-by-side in the corners," said Denny Hamlin, whose Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota got loose on Lap 53 of yesterday's 60-lap Budweiser Duel 1. "Any kind of bad aero position that you put yourself in, your car can be vulnerable."
Hamlin came down the track and made contact with Carl Edwards, much the way 2008 Daytona 500 winner Ryan Newman had seen his car make contact with Edwards, without apparent reason, in Wednesday's practice. Thursday's wreck, necessitating the only caution flag in either Duel, also collected Trevor Bayne and Regan Smith. Kevin Harvick won Duel 1 and Kyle Busch won Duel 2.
"From [Richard Childress Racing's] standpoint, they're putting all the effort they can into it," said Harvick, who has committed to drive for Stewart-Haas Racing in 2014. "I'm going to put all I can into it. Gil [Martin, crew chief] and his guys, they don't care. They just want to win races. They're going to work on the car whether it's a guy that's going to be here tomorrow or be here for 20 years. We have a lot of responsibility to be professionals. Pride is key in this whole situation."
Busch, who failed to qualify for the Chase last season, said he learned an important lesson for Sunday's Daytona 500. "Stay out front when you get out front," Busch said. "It's hard to pass the leader."
Kahne trailed Duel 2 pole-sitter Jeff Gordon for much of the early going. "The only way [to pass] is in bigger packs," he said. "I was in line behind Jeff forever and no way I was going to pass him."
Of the 45 drivers who raced Thursday, all but two -- Mike Bliss and Brian Keselowski -- earned spots in the Daytona 500. Keselowski's brother Brad, the reigning Sprint Cup champ, finished seventh in Duel 1.
Waltrip for Sandy Hook
Two-time Daytona 500 winner Michael Waltrip recently visited Newtown, Conn. He finished 14th in Duel 1 to qualify the Sandy Hook School Support Fund Toyota. "We're just hopeful we can help out a great deal -- raising money for counseling, rehabilitation, rebuilding that town, whatever they need money for," said Waltrip, whose Swan Racing race car features a call-to-action decal encouraging donations by texting "Newtown" to 80888.
"Secondarily [it's good] to know that we're going to give the race fans in the Northeast something to cheer about and smile for at the Daytona 500."

Review – Spin by Robert Charles Wilson
BRIEF SYNOPSIS: One night, the stars disappear from the sky. Mankind discovers that Earth has been placed inside of a temporal shell where time moves astonishingly slowly inside. In a matter of Earth years, the Sun will become a red giant. Will Earth survive? And who or what placed Earth in the shell and why?
PROS: Well defined and complex characters, wonderful 'What If' scenario, ultimately amps up the wow factor for the end.
CONS: A bit slow in parts and a bit wordy.
BOTTOM LINE: A strong 'apocalyptic' novel with scads of 'sense of wonder'. Read this book!
One night, as friends Diane and Jason Lawton and Tyler Dupree are out watching the night sky, the stars suddenly disappear. humanity soon discovers, as satellites crash to earth strangely dated, that some entity has placed the Earth inside a shell where time moves much more slowly than the outside universe. Jason, as his father's protege, is destined to probe the mysteries of the shell and the 'Hypotheticals' who created it. Tyler becomes Jason's personal physician while Diane becomes a member of a post-shell cult who believe the second coming is near. Their lives mix and intertwine throughout the following years to a climax that rivals anything by Stephen Baxter in galactic scope.
I've read some of Wilson's previous books, Chronoliths and Darwinia, and I've found that Wilson is very good at creating interesting situations, but I found the endings to both books to be a let down compared to the rest of the story. Wilson avoids that fate, for me, in Spin. Wilson has created a sympathetic trio of characters who must deal with a world they no longer understand and they go their separate ways to deal with it. Wilson manages to interweave two time lines, one starting in the 'past' of the characters and moving forward (the majority of the story), and one in the 'present'. Wilson deftly weaves the stories together and we learn a lot about how the three characters have proceeded through their lives, loves and friendships. I thought Wilson did a great job creating deep, sympathetic characters whom the reader was always rooting for, which is an improvement from the two books I read previously. The actual 'apocalypse' isn't really a normal one, but its effects are very similar. There is a breakdown in society in general as panic and fear set in, ultimately finding a new norm where people get by. But what's the use of living if there really is no future because of the time dilation? This question, and others, is explored in detail. The ultimate answers aren't necessarily all discovered, but Wilson manages to create an ending whose scope encompasses consciousness, sentient and existence on a galactic scale. I was blown away by how fast the scope increased, reminding me of how Singularity had an ending that ramped up the SF at the end.
If there is any negatives, its that the characters spend a lot of time discussing what has happened and the possible implications of the situation. This happens quite frequently and the middle of the book tended to drag. I never really had to force myself to read it, but it was a slower go than either the beginning or end. Enough to knock a star off, but not enough to mar what turns into a mind expanding ending.
I really enjoyed Spin and would recommend this to anyone looking for a good SF read.

A method is described that provides absolute frequency stabilization and calibration of the signal and idler waves generated by an injection-seeded optical parametric oscillator (OPO). The method makes use of a He–Ne stabilized transfer cavity (TC) to control the frequencies of the cw sources used to seed both the pump laser and OPO cavity. The TC serves as a stable calibration source for the signal and idler waves by providing marker fringes as the seed laser is scanned. Additionally, an acoustic-optic modulator (AOM) is used to shift the OPO seed laser's frequency before locking it onto the TC. The sidebands of the AOM are tunable over more than one free spectral range of the TC, thereby permitting stabilization of the signal and idler waves at any frequency. A±25-MHz residual error in the absolute frequency stabilities of the pump, signal, and idler waves is experimentally demonstrated, which is roughly 30% of the 160-MHz near-transform-limited linewidths of the signal and idler pulses.

text: Born Walter Elias Disney in Chicago. Obviously we are talking about a towering figure here, so for the purposes of this blog, I am sticking to the silent era stuff for the most part. Disney was a multi-talented voice actor, animator, print cartoonist and producer. His first interest in these arts seems to have come when he was in high school in Chicago, he began to take night courses at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts studying under artist Louis Grell. However, at the age of 16 he dropped out of high school and tried to join the Army to fight in World War I, but, was, of course, rejected for being underage. So he joined the Red Cross instead and he was sent to France as an ambulance driver, but this was only after armistice was signed. Back in the United States, and in Kansas City, he decided in 1919 to start some sort of artistic career and briefly considered becoming an actor, but then changed his mind to drawing political cartoons and comic strips for newspapers; no was hiring him. He did manage, through connections with brother Roy, to get temporary work at the Pesman-Rubin where he created advertisements for magazines, newspapers, and, I think, most importantly--movie theaters. There he met one of my personal favorite cartoonists, Ubbe "Ub" Iwerks, who was also working there temporarily. When both of their contracts ran out, they decided to start a commercial company together. That company was the short lived Iwerks-Disney Commercial Artists. The company got off to a rocking start and Disney left, he thought temporarily, to find work at the Kansas City Film Ad Company; Iwerks, unable to run their company alone, soon joined him there. There, Disney started to make ads by a method known as Cutout Animation; this is when he became intensely interested and decided to become a full time animator. The owner of the company allowed him to borrow a camera to experiment with at night at home; after reading Edwin G. Lutz's book Animated Cartoons: How They Are Made, Their Origin And Development, he decided that Cel animation (short for celluloid) was a much more promising approach to actual animation. So effectively he was back in a kind night school situation, only he was teaching himself. He then decided to open his own animation company and lured Fred Harman from the Ad Company to be his first employee. There they started creating cartoons they called "Laugh-O-Grams." After studying Asps Fables, they created modernized versions in 6 Laugh-o-Grams; they were then publicly screened at a local theater that was owned by the man known as the most popular showmen in Kansas City: Frank Newman. Disney was off and running! He then created Laugh-O-Gram Studio, and the cartoons produced there were known as "Newman Laugh-O-Grams"--always with a "by Walt Disney" at the bottom of any poster. The people working there grew by three, with Harman's brother Hugh, his partner Rudolf Ising, and Disney's old friend and colleague Ubbe Iwerks. Disney, it turned out was a terrible money manager, and the profits the company was taking in didn't match the high pay to the employees, so the company wound up bankrupt. It is with these "Laugh-O-Grams" that earns Disney his first film credits, the first coming in 1921 in the capacity as a director, with Kansas City Girls Are Rolling Their Own Now, it was all of 1 minute in length. This was his first credit...and that is all that really matters. When Disney died on 15 December 1965 of lung cancer, he had amassed a huge empire including theme parks that I personally grew up with. There was a romour that he had been frozen and put under the pirates of the Caribbean ride in Los Angeles; thus the "Thaw Walt" campaign in the late 1960's. The opposite is the truth, he was cremated and his ashes are interred in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles.

Prior posts (by David Farer and William Hyatt) have featured comment on the litigation that resulted in the New Jersey Supreme Court's decision in NJDEP v. Dimant (September 26, 2012) under the New Jersey CERCLA analog, the Spill Act, requiring a "reasonable link" between the discharge, the putative discharger, and the site specific contamination. This alert focuses on the implications of the decision for building a liability case.
Dimant concerned liability for required remediation of perchloroethylene ("PCE") contaminated groundwater at a site. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection ("DEP") inspectors observed for a portion of one day a pipe dripping a liquid onto blacktop. Testing showed the drip contained more than 3,000 times the maximum contaminant level for PCE. There was no evidence presented at trial, however, to indicate the blacktop was cracked, where the drips went, or the frequency or duration of the drips. The DEP did not establish groundwater flow direction and therefore could not prove if the pipe location was up or down gradient of the PCE contaminated groundwater requiring remediation. Also, there were several other potential sources of PCE in proximity to the defendant. In other words, there was no proof connecting the defendant's discharge of PCE to the PCE contaminated groundwater.
Keep in mind that the Spill Act imposes strict, joint and several liability on a person discharging or "in any way responsible" for a discharge, an arguably very broad standard indeed. In its decision, the Court made it clear that "in an action to obtain damages, authorized cost and other similar relief under the [Spill Act] there must be shown a reasonable link between the discharge, the putative discharger and the contamination at the specifically damaged site." The Court disclaimed a proximate cause analysis, but did require "sufficient proof of a reasonable, tenable basis" showing how the discharge resulted in the contamination causing at least some of the damage at issue. In short, the DEP failed to demonstrate "the requisite connection" between the dripping PCE and the PCE contaminated groundwater.
What sunk the DEP's case was a failure to prove the nexus between drips of PCE to the blacktop's surface and some pathway for contribution of PCE through the soil and into the groundwater. To avoid a similar fate, plaintiffs (including the State) will need proof that the defendant's discharge actually reached the contaminated resource. That evidence might be historical, physical or chemical analyses done to determine the source of releases affecting the resource. This type of work is often referred to as environmental forensics and finding the right experts in this field will, in many New Jersey cases, be critical to establishing the "reasonable link" required by NJDEP v. Dimant. To the extent that other state courts follow New Jersey's lead, similar proofs will be necessary.

On September 26, 2012, the New Jersey Supreme Court issued its decision in NJDEP v Dimant, rejecting an attempt by the state DEP to seek damages from an alleged discharger under the state's strict liability statute, the Spill Compensation and Control Act (typically referred to as the "Spill Act"). The court found that DEP had not established the necessary connection, or nexus, between the alleged discharge and the contamination at the specifically damaged site. This was the second New Jersey appellate court decision in the past three months in which DEP's positions on regulatory and statutory authority have been successfully challenged. In Dimant, DEP had sued to recover costs associated with investigation and remediation of PCE-contaminated groundwater found in residential wells, and was also seeking compensation for natural resource restoration. The defendant was a dry cleaner that had operated near the contaminated wells and had used the common dry-cleaning solvent PCE for 15 months in the late 1980s. During that period, in the course of a site inspection, DEP noted an external pipe at the dry cleaning facility which the agency found to be dripping PCB-bearing liquid onto the pavement.The Spill Act provides that "[a]ny person who has discharged a hazardous substance, or is in any way responsible for any hazardous substance, shall be strictly liable, jointly and severally, without regard to fault, for all cleanup and removal costs no matter by whom incurred." DEP argued that the discharge was sufficient to connect the dry cleaner to the contaminated groundwater in the nearby wells. The court rejected this argument, finding that DEP had not met its burden of proof. It noted that DEP never presented sufficient proof of a "reasonable, tenable basis" for how drips of fluid observed at the dry cleaner on one occasion resulted in groundwater contamination in the Bound Brook wells. The New Jersey Supreme Court upheld the prior trial court and Appellate Division decisions in the case, rejecting DEP's claims and holding that in order to obtain the requested relief, a real rather than hypothetical nexus must be shown to exist between the discharge of hazardous substances and the actual contamination at the specifically damaged site. That the substance dripping on the pavement in one location was the same as that found in the groundwater at another location was not a sufficient connection and did not constitute the "reasonable link" required to impose liability on the defendant. The court further concluded that DEP could not credibly claim, many years after observing the dripping pipe, that the dry cleaner should bear the expense of studying how the drip may have impacted groundwater, and how the groundwater condition must now be addressed.This was the second appellate court setback for DEP since July. In an unrelated ruling on July 6, 2012 in Des Champs Laboratories, Inc. v. Robert Martin, the New Jersey Appellate Division found that DEP had overstepped its regulatory authority in narrowing one of the statutory exemptions available under the state's transaction-triggered environmental law, the Industrial Site Recovery Act ("ISRA"). Under ISRA, a wide range of property owners and operators must investigate and if necessary clean up contamination at subject properties upon the occurrence of specific business events such as cessations of operation or sales of properties or businesses, regardless of fault. However, the legislature built certain exemptions into the law. One of them, available to those who have used only small – or de minimis – amounts of hazardous substances, is known as a De Minimus Quantity Exemption, or "DQE."However, in 2009 DEP issued new regulations unilaterally imposing an additional requirement on DQE applicants that they also establish that the subject property is free of contamination. As the revision to the regulation was unsupported by the ISRA statute, and appeared to circumvent the very purpose of the DQE, Des Champs Laboratories challenged the regulation before the Superior Court, Appellate Division after its own application for a DQE was denied.On July 6, 2012, the Appellate Division ruled in favor of Des Champs, invalidating the DEP regulatory change. DEP subsequently issued the De Minimis Quantity exemption to Des Champs.

Steve's Club Blog
Boston Iron Kids Club
Any CrossFit athlete knows the feeling of failing and bailing. The bar rattles as the bumper plates bounce off the mat. Your face goes flush from both the expended effort and the emotional upheaval of missing the lift and your brain reels as it tries to figure out what went wrong.
Every Steve's Club coach knows this moment of failure is where the magic happens. Watching and coaching athletes as they deal with a setback, is the hub from which all the goals and missions of this organization radiate.
Tina Ramos, owner and founder of Boston Iron and Grit and founder of Boston Iron Kids Club (a Steve's Club program), knows that lifting and pursuing fitness goals have a lot of similarities to overcoming struggles in other areas of life.
Steve's Club coaches and volunteers are passionate about CrossFit and know that it's a powerful vehicle for giving kids a way to manage some of their life challenges. Fun fitness is the hook to get them moving and slowly they begin to realize that they can do even more than they imagined, if they commit to their goals and work hard.
But overcoming challenges isn't just for the kids and teens we serve. Recently, circumstances forced Tina Ramos to make some big moves both at her affiliate and with her Steve's Club program. She had to make drastic personnel changes and start back almost from square 1.
"There are a lot of hard learned lessons in business ownership." Ramos said. "I thought what am I doing? I feel like I'm failing at all of this."
"But I came back to the only reason I opened my gym was to support a Steve's Club program for at-risk kids and teens in my community."
Ramos, a Harvard educated former school counselor, didn't come to Steve's Club through the usual route of discovering CrossFit, becoming a coach, starting a gym and then learning of Steve's Club and adding it on. No, Ramos became aware of Steve's Club in the early days of her CrossFit journey. It was the idea of Steve's Club that motivated her to leave her job in education, become a coach and start her own gym.
"From the very beginning, within the first three months, I knew this is what I wanted to do," Ramos said. "So I left my school counseling position, got my level 1 and applied to be a Steve's Club program."
Ramos' first experience with CrossFit was with the Boston affiliate CrossFit New England. The positive support of the community drew her in and paralleled her earliest experiences as an athlete.
Ramos attributes much of her life's success to her high school track coach, Mr. Kyser.
"If I hadn't had Mr. Kyser, I don't know if I would've finished High School. I don't know if I would have gone on to college." Ramos said. "I know that having the right role models and the right mentors, was so important to me staying off the streets and going to college."
It's those role models and positive experiences that she wanted to pay forward to underserved youth in Boston. Tina's goal with Boston Iron Kids Club is to create a community and support system to nurture disadvantaged kids and help them become future leaders in the community.
After acquiring her level 1 and coaching in a gym, she came to understand that the only way she could realize her goal of implementing a Local Steve's Club was to open her own affiliate. "That was the scariest step."
Nevertheless, Boston Iron Kids Club held their first fundraiser "BEAT the Streets" in 2014, and in 2105 raised $14,000. When faced with some operational challenges at her gym this past November, Ramos had to "rebuild, regroup and refocus." Throughout this process she relied on the CrossFit community and her commitment to Steve's Club.
"I felt like quitting in November but I started calling other CrossFit Affiliate owners and I was introduced to Brandon Peterson the owner of CrossFit Free. We met and now he does our programming and is my business advisor. He has also agreed to join our BEAT The Streets fundraising initiative and I'm super excited to get the 2017 fundraiser organized!"
Ramos also continues to develop her relationship in her local community. Boston Iron Kids Club partners with the 3 Point Foundation to work holistically with inner city youth on both their fitness and academic performance. She also recently started a pilot program with a local high school to train even more kids.
Ramos feels stronger for the failures she experienced, the obstacles she surmounted, and is back at it with more dedication than ever to improving the lives of kids, one kid at a time..
Steve's Club at the core is about acknowledging that we're all on a journey, with many ups and downs, and it's a lot easier to go through it with other positive people who care about your success. If we can give that gift to at-risk kids, who might not have that in their lives, then we're contributing to making the world a better place.
Tina and all the other Local Club coaches nationwide are making sacrifices each day, week, month, and year to make this mission happen. We're proud to have such amazing leaders and volunteers.
If you'd like to get involved with an existing Local Club like Boston Iron Kids Club or one near you, please email us at email@example.com

Where to find amazing birds and animals in Margaret RIver
Right now I'm working by the window at Mum and Dad's place, afternoon sunlight is streaming in. It's from this cosy spot that I just heard half a dozen white tailed black cockatoos screeching as they flew overhead.
Sometimes I have to pinch myself that this – Margaret River – is my office. That I can jump up, grab my camera and take a few photos of the cockatoos getting into mum's garden. They love the proteas and leucospermum we planted a few years ago.
There's nothing better than seeing these incredible animals and beautiful birds, and I get to share the experience with guests!
So here's a few of the jaw-dropping birds and animals you can see while visiting Margaret River, and when and where to find them.
Blue Wrens
The Splendid Fairy Wren is a brightly coloured small bird, and the males are a dazzling blue. They're quite popular in the Cape to Cape region, you just have to listen out for their 'kissing' sound, and stay quiet, as they're flighty.
The male birds have bright blue plumage in spring and summer to attract a mate, then they revert to a dull grey-brown in autumn and winter. The females are grey with a bright blue tail.
We often see them at the wineries with birdbaths, and anywhere with native Australian plants. They love bottlebrush bushes and good scrub cover.
You'll probably see blue wrens on the Eat Drink Explore Tour: we often see them at Hay Shed Hill, Margaret River Chocolate Factory, Fermoy Estate and Cowaramup Brewery.

Sting Rays
These gentle giants can weigh up to 300kg and have a 1.5 metre wing span, and they'll happily glide up and over your toes if you wade into the water at Hamelin Bay Beach.
The stingrays swim around in small groups, hoping to find some fish scraps. They're friendly, curious and docile.
We visit Hamelin Bay on Day 3 of our Perth to Margaret River 3 Day Escape, on the same day as our cave and lighthouse visit. We see them most days in spring and summer, and every few days in winter.
We often have the privilege of orchestrating international guests first ever kangaroo sighting, and what a thrill that is!
There's no shortage of beautiful kangaroos in the region, and you might see them lolling about vineyards, especially in summer when they're tempted by the sweet grapes! They're usually on the northern side of Carters Road, just north of Margaret River and west of Burnside Road – that's a fairly reliable spot to see 'roos.
If you're keen to see a kangaroo I'll usually take you to our family farm, which is near the corner of Caves Road and Wallcliffe Road. The kangaroos are wild, so it's an authentic experience, and we'll often see mothers and their joeys peering out of the pouch.
Dad runs a Sunset Kangaroo Safari in the warmer months, and he'll take you around the farm on his converted 1962 Bedford Truck. There's home made cake and billy tea by the creek – authentically Aussie! Read more about this experience at our recent blog – Family-friendly fun on the Sunset Kangaroo Safari.
The Whale watching season in Margaret River is one of the longest in the world; it runs from mid May in Augusta to mid December in Geographe Bay, with whale watching charters based in Dunsborough and Busselton.
I highly recommend jumping on board a whale watching boat – we're fond of Naturaliste Charters, but there's about four companies to choose from, some with Mandarin-speaking guides. Last winter I wrote a blog detailing why we recommend Naturaliste Charters, a bit about the whale migration and best of all some land-based whale watching lookouts. Read that blog 'Whale Watching in Margaret River' here.
Day 3 of the Perth to Margaret River 3 Day Escape tour we take a tour of the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse which stands 57 metres above sea level, giving us an excellent view of any whales passing by.
Black Cockatoos
Back to my beloved cockatoos. Unfortunately, the red tailed black cockatoos are becoming rarer – I've not seen one in months, although they're definitely still around. The Baudin Cockatoos (white tailed) are prevalent on the farm, as they rest in the red gum trees and fly across the valley to Wallcliffe Road making a huge racket and spilling honky nuts everywhere.
They're beautiful creatures and live for around 25 to 50 years. We don't see them on tour often, it's really a case of being in the right place at the right time. But occasionally, like right now, they'll surprise you with their screech, and it'll make your day!
More amazing Margaret River Wildlife
I combine my love of local wildlife and photography over at our Instagram account. Look us up – @mcleodtours is our Instagram handle, as I often post photos of kookaburras, robin red breasts, whales and more. Enjoy!

PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea (February 2, 1998 - Niuswire/The National)---Bougainville Copper Ltd. will require a new agreement between the company and shareholders before mining can resume at the multi-million Panguna mine, according to the company secretary, Paul Coleman.
However, the company does not want to jeopardize the Bougainville peace initiatives by prematurely raising questions concerning the future of the mine, he said.
Mr. Coleman made the remarks while announcing a K1.4 million ($US 790,000) profit for the year ending December 31, 1997.
Mr. Coleman said access to the mine site at Panguna to enable a detailed review of the company's assets has not been possible.
When the conditions on Bougainville permit, an assessment of the economic viability of restarting operations will be undertaken, he said.
Mr. Coleman said the net profit of K1.4 million for the year was based on actual transactions for the year. No provisions have been made for depreciation and amortization and no further provisions have been made for deterioration, damage and pilferage of assets over K350 million ($US 198 million) provided in 1991.
It is emphasized that even with resumption of operations, a major write-off of assets from the pre-closure value may be required, he said. Accordingly, the 1991 provision of K350 million may eventually prove to be an inadequate sum with which to reflect the loss in value of the company's assets.
On this basis, the net carrying value of fixed assets at the balance date was K200.1 million ($US 112.96 million) and the cash balance was K63 million ($US 35.56 million), he said.
Mr. Coleman said "of particular interest to the company is the encouraging move towards peace on Bougainville."
He said the meetings in Burnham, New Zealand, which resulted in the signing of the "Burnham Truce" and the "Burnham Declaration Monitoring Group" and the recent talks held at Lincoln University have provided hope that sustainable peace is possible.
"Notwithstanding the encouraging prognosis for peace on Bougainville and the company's commitment to the peace process, we remain cautious about an early return to Panguna.
"The first and paramount issue is a sustainable peace settlement. The company does not want to jeopardize the current peace initiatives by prematurely raising questions concerning the future of the Panguna mine.
"It is recognized that any return to production at Panguna will require an agreement between the company and shareholders on the terms under which mining can be carried out," he said.

7 Confidence Builders7 Confidence Builders
In these days of intense competition, it is increasingly important to build your child's level of self-confidence to enable her to compete in tomorrow's cut-throat world. Listen to her When your child tries to tell you about the day she had at school, how often do you really pay attention? Are you listening to her, or is your mind otherwise occupied? Very often parents tune out when their children are talking. Pay close attention to what your child is saying, and repeat it now and again so she knows you are listening. Don't trivialize things Something that seems trivial to you, may be very important to your child. If your child is upset that she missed the birthday party of a friend, don't laugh it off and say that there will be many others. Understand that while something like this has minimal importance in your world, it has great importance in your child's world. So treat the 'crisis' accordingly. Don't criticize your child When your child does something wrong, don't critisize her. Instead, criticize the behaviour. If she doesn't study when she's supposed to, instead of calling her lazy, tell her that she needs to work harder, and what she did was wrong. Instead of calling her an arrogant and rude person when she talks back to you, say, "What you said was rude." Or, "Please don't use that arrogant tone." Question your child Instead of losing your temper when your child says something rude to you, question her and ask her why she spoke in such a manner. Every time your child is rude to you, there is a reason behind it. Remember, your child is the one who is supposed to constantly abide by what you say and play by your rules. If she answers back, you shout at her. Perhaps she has a genuine point. Do try and find out what it is by questioning her about her feelings. Praise often Praise your child as often as possible. Naturally, praise is different from flattery. Many parents don't praise their children too much as they are worried the praise may go to their child's head. But if you praise your child for a job well done, your child will certainly benefit to a great degree. Encourage your child to think Don't constantly force her to do things against her will. Although sometimes this may be necessary, very often, it is not. Still, parents command immediate obedience all the time. Although there was a generation where this was acceptable, such a generation is gone. And such obedience which obstructs thinking is no longer considered acceptable or desirable. Earlier on, children were not required to be independent, but things have changed. If you want to your child to do or not to do something, be prepared to back it up with a reason, better than, "Because I say so." Focus on her strengths If your child does badly in Math but well in dance, many of us parents will gloss over the good performance, especially if it not academic in nature, and focus on her poor performance. It is but natural that you would want your child to do well in everything, but if your child's performance is acceptable, don't push her to do better and better every time, especially if she shows promise in something else. So if she shows promise in dance, enroll her in dance classes instead of Math classes.

Moody top U.S. finisher on first morning of World Champs
Provided by IAAF
DAEGU, South Korea - Tera Moody (Colorado Springs, Colo.) ran her second fastest ever marathon to finish 17th in 2:32:04 in the first final of the 13th IAAF World Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Team USA also advanced seven athletes from the qualifying rounds during the morning session at Daegu Stadium.
Nine Americans made their World Championships debut; however, none of the five who were competing in the qualifying rounds advanced into the finals.
Meanwhile, as expected, four Olympians led Team USA in the qualifying rounds:
Team USA moved a step closer toward securing its first ever medal in the women's discus as 2008 Olympic gold medalist Stephanie Brown Trafton (Oceano, Calif.) posted the sixth best overall qualifying mark at 61.89m/206-3.5.
Two-time Olympian Derrick Miles (Tea, S.D.) and Jeremy Scott (Brookland, Ark.) qualified for the finals in the men's pole vault where they will be hoping to give Team USA its first medal in that event since 2007.
In the opening round of the men's 800, Team USA Olympians Nick Symmonds (Springfield, Ore.) and Khadevis Robinson (Santa Monica, Calif.) qualified into the semifinal round. Symmonds was sixth in the 2009 World Outdoor Championships.
Women's Marathon
The marathon saw the field go out in a very large front pack, with 27 women running within seconds of each other through 25 kilometers. The women ran through a three-loop course through downtown Daegu, with temperatures in the high 70s at the start and the humidity at 72 percent. Tera Moody ran in the mix with the leaders, even spending time at the front of the pack. The group went through 5 km in 18:34; 10 km in 36:26; 15 km in 54:11; 20 km in 1:12:39 and 25 km in 1:30:35.
By 30 km the pack thinned to 19 runners, but Moody stayed with the pack as they split in 1:48:35. However, the leaders made a break for it over the next five kilometers and the pack disintegrated with only four women leading the race. By 35 km, Moody was 1:11 behind the leaders and split 2:06:30. By the 40 km mark, eventual winner Edna Kiplagat of Kenya pulled away from the rest of the field and maintained her lead to win in 2:28:43. Moody finished in her second-best time ever in 2:32:04 to place 17th.
The rest of the U.S. squad finished within 10 places of one another. Kathy Newberry (Ann Arbor, Mich.) was 30th in 2:37:28. Alisa McKaig was 32nd in 2:38:23, Colleen De Reuck (Boulder, Colo.) was 38th in 2:44:35 and Zoila Gomez (Alamosa, Colo.) 40th in 2:46:44. This was a first World Championship appearance for Newberry, McKaig and Gomez. In the Marathon World Cup team scores, Team USA took sixth place.
Women's Steeplechase
Emma Coburn (Crested Butte, Colo.) ran her second fastest time ever to advance into the finals of the women's 3,000m steeplechase. Coburn found herself just outside of the automatic qualifiers as she took the final water jump in fifth place; however, as Lyubov Kharlamova of Russia stumbled a bit in the water jump, Coburn powered through the final 150m to take fourth place in the second heat in 9:38.42.
Fellow Americans Bridget Franek (Eugene, Ore.) and Stephanie Garcia (South Riding, Va.) did not fare as well. Franek was seventh in the first heat in a time of 9:43.09. Garcia, who was a late addition to the Team USA roster, took seventh in the final heat in 9:53.47.
Women's Discus
2008 Olympic gold medalist Stephanie Brown Trafton had a best throw of 61.89m/206-3.5 to place sixth overall in qualifying and advance into the final. Three-time Olympian Aretha Thurmond (Opelika, Ala.) was 13th with 59.88m/196-5, and Gia Lewis-Smallwood (Champaign, Ill.), appearing in her first World Championships, was 15th overall with a best throw of 59.49m/195-2. Neither woman made the 12-person field for the final.
Trey Hardee (Austin, Texas) and Ashton Eaton (Eugene, Ore.) stood first and second, respectively, in the decathlon after three events that were held during the morning session. Hardee tallied 2,680 points after finishing second in the 100 (10.55), fifth in the long jump (7.45m/24-5.5) and ninth in the shot put (15.09m/49-6.25).
Eaton, the 2011 world leader, opened the grueling two-day event by running the fastest time in the 100 (10.46) and placing third in the long jump (7.46m/24-5.75) en route to 2,665 points. He had a mark of 14.44m/47-4.50) on his first throw in the shot put before fouling on his final two attempts. Ryan Harlan (Houston, Texas) won the men's shot put with a mark of 16.49m/54-1 but stood in 23rd place overall with 2,418 points.
Men's 800m
Nick Symmonds and Khadevis Robinson both advanced to the semi-finals of the 800m. Symmonds moved from second to first in the final 20 meters of the first heat to cross the line in 1:46.54. Robinson finished third in his heat in 1:48.41 to advance automatically. While Charles Jock (San Diego, Calif.) did not advance to the finals, he took fifth in the fourth heat in 1:47.95 in not only his first senior national team, but also his first trip out of the United States.
Men's Pole Vault
Jeremy Scott and Derek Miles advanced out of Group B with qualifying vaults of 5.60m/18-4.5 for the finals which will be held Monday night. Both passed at 5.65m/18-6.5.
The six-foot 9-inch Scott, appearing on his second World Outdoor team, was flawless clearing on his first attempts at 5.35m/17-6.75, 5.50m/18-0.50 and 5.60. Miles, who at 38 is the oldest member of Team USA men's squad, found success on his first attempts at 5.35m and 5.60m. He cleared 5.50m on his second attempt. Mark Hollis (Elkhart, Ind.) didn't make it out of Group A qualifying. After clearing 5.35m on his first attempt, he failed to clear 5.50 on three attempts.
Tera Moody, women's marathon
"I just wanted to run my own race and block everybody else out to give myself the best shot of running a good race....I am very pleased, I think I executed very well...I am only a little disappointed because I got confused at the end because I thought it was 42k and it wasn't...so two girls got me right at the end.
"I am pleased. I wanted to be top 15...but overall a good day...definitely room for improvement... I'm coming back from four months off with recent surgeries..but I think overall it went really well."
Emma Coburn, women's steeplechase
"The first [kilometer] was slow a enough to really, really be comfortable last 2k I was on the back of that pack and they put a few meters on me and parts of my gut were like 'okay, maybe I'll still get a time qualifier' But we practice our water jumps a lot and our closing pace in races. I didn't feel comfortable that I would qualify on place until I crossed the line. It was incredible, I was kind of on the bubble if I would make the final or not, it was a goal, but not an expectation, so it was incredible to finish and realize that I'll get to compete again on this beautiful track and try to represent the USA well in the final."
Bridget Franek, women's 3000 steeplechase
"I didn't take a big enough risk at the beginning, but I felt good coming home strong. Some of the girls took it out pretty fast..I wanted to be a little bit more in control and run my pace which I probably should have taken bigger risk in the beginning and just gone with them. By the end I gave it my all. I feel more prepared to run faster, but it just didn't happen for whatever reason. I can't really make excuses. Next year I'm looking to come back and be a serious contender, cleaning up some things to do some damage.
"I felt great physically. That is one of the things I keep telling myself, you don't know when you're going to come into a championship this healthy and strong again so you have to make the most of it here and now even though I have a tendency to look forward to say I'm going to be so much better next year."
Stephanie Garcia, women's steeplechase
"It was really exciting....it was awesome..It tried not to think of this as World Championships. I tried think of this as just another race...this is Europe...this is against girls I've run against before. and unfortunately I didn't have pop at the very end but I tried to give it my best go. I was right up there with the front pack but it just didn't click today.
"I wanted to be steady in the first couple laps. I haven't run an outside water pit in a little while. That is different approach. I was trying to be calm the first few laps, but I think maybe I was a little far too out for my comfort. For what my experience was for this, getting a call a week and half ago, to get here I felt I handled it the best I could and gave my best effort."
Stephanie Brown Trafton, women's discus
"I made my qualifying mark on first attempt which is typical for me. I would like to keep progressing and doing better but if I can make it to the finals with my first attempt I won't be upset with that. I'm still working on things.
"Tomorrow is going to be a great day. I would like to come out and get a medal that has been my goal the whole year. I kind of hope it rains. I like the rain. It presents a different element. It adds another complex level.
"Physically I feel good. I have more support staff here personally than I've had before. Team USA has more medical assistance than ever before and Team USA has a great staff. Logistically this is one of the best meets I've been to."
Gia Lewis-Smallwood, women's discus
"My goal was to make the finals and I didn't do that. But this was amazing. I walked into that stadium and I thought 'holy molly I was born for this'. This was the most amazing experience of my life. I thought I would walk in and feel a little intimidated, but I walked in there and said 'bring it on'...how cool was it...this was amazing...I love it...give it two thumbs...highly recommended. I had the best time. I don't even feel sad about not making the final. it was such a great experience and I'm really pleased with everything."
Aretha Hill Thurmond, women's discus
"If you try to attack it too much with the upper body, it's never gonna be as good as you want it to be. If you come up early, you're never gonna come up with as good of a throw. The power was there, but it went left sector.
"If you mistime it a little bit, it could go right, or it could go left. It's not anything that you lose faith in. I felt good, and I knew I had it in me. I just know that if I had just gotten through this qualifying round, it would have been a different ball game. Can I throw that on any given day? Yes, but I didn't do it today.
"I've had a great season this year, I've been consistent and I know I can throw far. I'm gonna go home and regroup and get ready for the Diamond League finals."
Nick Symmonds, men's 800m
"I felt really good...You know I like to feel a little flat in the first round, it means I've tapered adequately. This should blow some of that out and tomorrow I should feel really really pumpy and fresh. I ran the race I wanted to and made it through without spending too much energy. The only concern now is who I draw in the semis, you know the 800 is kind of a crap-shoot, you could have what appears to be the easiest heat, and then that could be the heat with the most wild-cards. I just have to be ready to race anybody."
Khadevis Robinson, men's 800m
"It was a tough one. The pace was a bit slow but I made it through which is all you want to do. It takes me a while to get revved up but I'm 35 years old. I ran like I wanted to run it but I didn't anticipate it being that slow. But it is what it is and at the end of the day I made it through which is the main thing.
"Coming to 400, I felt I needed to go to get a position but it was going to be hard to do that because when I did move another guy moved. So that made it feel tough. In the last 100 I thought I would pass the leaders but I didn't take into account that we came through 55 seconds in the first lap. Because I ran the the whole second lap in lane two, I probably ran the whole 800 in 12 13 meters longer.
"You have to come in here fresh, sharp and ready and you got to get in the right heats. A heat like this was actually good for me if I can get in position. I wasn't aggressive enough today but it worked out."
Charles Jock, men's 800m
"I was in third for about the first 450 meters, and I felt good through 500 meters... in the last 200m I was trying to make a move and my body just wouldn't respond...I tried to pick it up and with about 150 meters left, my body was just out of it...I know my weaknesses now, from this whole season and I know what I need to work on. I'm going to go home, take my break and come back four times harder."
Derek Miles, men's pole vault
"You know, the prelims are always a lose-lose deal, you kind of expect yourself to make it through the final and you have to go out and do it. But even when you make the final, your just like 'well, that's what I should have done'...but making the final is always important...this is my eighth team and this is my eighth final and I'm excited about that....but you still have to go back and regroup and figure out how to make it better...the old man is still kicking."
Mark Hollis, men's pole vault
"I felt great in warmups...made the first bar easily...I went up to the next height and I think it was such a fast track, that I was just too close and I came down on the bar three times in a row. It was frustrating especially the way I was feeling. I was disappointed but it was a great experience being here."
Jeremy Scott, men's pole vault
"It went just as we had it plan -- three bars and three makes and no misses. We really had a great look at the box and I think were set up good for the finals. I feel great. I feel like I'm as ready for the World Championships as I've ever been. I've jumping as consistently good as I've ever been. I'll do a little shakeout for tomorrow, otherwise I'll kick the feet up and just rest getting ready for the finals."

NBA deadline features minor moves
AP Basketball Writer
NEW YORK – The only trade involving Dwight Howard came last summer. The potent scorers that moved did so long ago.
There was no eye-catching activity left for deadline day, resulting in minor deals Thursday to the disappointment of those hoping for a frenzy.
Josh Smith stayed put and the Boston Celtics' core stayed together, leaving J.J. Redick, dealt to Milwaukee, as the biggest name to be traded.
There were nine moves, nothing approaching a blockbuster and none to jump-start the Lakers.
Players such as James Harden and Rudy Gay were traded far before the deadline, but with teams perhaps fearful of new penalties for the biggest spenders, Thursday was mostly quiet.
"I don't think I've seen fewer trade deadline deals, ever," said Houston general manager Daryl Morey, who completed two trades Wednesday. "But I think it's a one-year blip."
The Atlanta Hawks held onto Smith, and Utah kept both Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson on a day when much attention was focused on both situations, since those players have value and could leave their teams this summer as free agents.
The long-shot deals never materialized. Howard remained in Los Angeles, just what Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak repeatedly said would happen. Howard's unhappiness and struggles since he was acquired from Orlando last summer fueled speculation that the Lakers might move him before possibly losing him for nothing as a free agent.
"It took a while for league to understand our position was exactly what we stated," Kupchak told reporters. "I think they finally got it."
Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce will continue wearing Celtic green, as will Rajon Rondo when he's healthy enough to put on a uniform again.
The Celtics did make one deal, acquiring guard Jordan Crawford from the Washington Wizards for center Jason Collins and injured guard Leandro Barbosa.
Those were the types of trades that were left after the big names that were available had already been moved. Oklahoma City sent All-Star Harden to Houston the preseason, fearing it couldn't pay what last season's top sixth man would want after already giving lucrative long-term deals to Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
The Memphis Grizzlies broke up their frontcourt when they sent Gay to Toronto in a three-team deal with Detroit
"I think normally a point was made, normally you would see big deals being made. We cannot forget, Andre Iguodala, that deal was made in the summer. That could have potentially been a trade deadline move," said Denver Nuggets president Masai Ujiri, referring to the player he acquired in the four-time Howard trade in August.
"Harden was traded right before the season started. That could have been a potential trade deadline move. Rudy Gay was started a couple weeks ago. There was some cleanup before this date. Apart from a couple guys who were out there all the time in terms of big names, it just went by. I can't explain it."
Finances certainly played into it. The collective bargaining agreement that went into effect in 2011 came with much more punitive penalties for teams that repeatedly exceed the luxury tax and limits the options of those over the salary cap, and decisions Thursday were made with that in mind.
Golden State sent forward Jeremy Tyler to Atlanta and guard Charles Jenkins to Philadelphia in separate deals, slicing more than $1.5 million off its payroll after beginning the day about $1.2 million over the league's $70,307,000 luxury tax.
Rebuilding after trading Howard, the Magic decided Redick wasn't in their plans while averaging career highs in points (15.1) and field goal percentage (45.0). He was traded along with center Gustavo Ayon and reserve point guard Ish Smith to the Bucks in exchange for guards Doron Lamb and Beno Udrih, and forward Tobias Harris.
The New York Knicks traded Ronnie Brewer to Oklahoma City to open a roster spot that will be used to give Kenyon Martin a 10-day contract. The Hawks couldn't find a good enough deal for Smith, who had largely been considered the biggest name that would move, and settled for sending Anthony Morrow to Dallas for Dahntay Jones.
With so little happening, Morey may have pulled off the most intriguing move this week when he acquired Thomas Robinson, the No. 5 pick in last year's draft, from Sacramento in one of his two deals.
"I thought the main thing that was different at this trade deadline was there was a big premium on cap space and draft picks," Morey said. "Usually, that's the currency that moves markets. They were at such a premium that every deal was very difficult. It became like a barter economy instead of a cash economy. That made deals harder.
"I do think you could say that maybe the CBA might be contributing to that. But I also think a lot of it is just the phase teams are in. There are a lot of good teams trying to maybe rebuild, for lack of a better word.
