University of Memphis Notebook: Tiger tennis team confident
Early victory over Vols helps with ranking, poise
U of M notebook
It wasn't a victory over an overrated team. For the University of Memphis men's tennis team, it was a win that may define the season.
The Tigers opened late last month with an upset of then-No. 13 Tennessee in Knoxville, shocking the perennial top-10 program and gaining the confidence/swagger for a 3-0 start -- the first at the U of M in 17 years -- and a top 50 national ranking.
The Tigers enter tonight's Conference USA match at The Racquet Club against East Carolina listed by the Campbell/ITA College Tennis Rankings at No. 43, the highest in program history.
Paul Goebel, entering his eighth season as head coach, said the win at Tennessee was satisfying and inevitable.
''It's a match that's kind of been a long time coming,'' he said. ''We've come close to beating a top-ranked team the past few years, but we couldn't get over the hump. I felt this was going to be a good year to do it.''
Creating depth -- much of it by recruiting successfully in England -- aided the Tigers in their 4-3 victory at UT, which finished last year ranked No. 3. After the loss to Memphis, the Vols have recovered to knocked off two Top 25 teams: Georgia Tech and Ole Miss.
''Having (a win over a top-ranked team) come in the first match of the year was a little bit of a surprise,'' Goebel said. ''But it's given us a lot of positive momentum.''
And it's a momentum that could last. While No. 23 Tulsa is the team to beat in C-USA, the U of M is developing into a contender. Its top five singles players -- David O'Hare (Ireland), Johnny Grimal (Spain), Joe Salisbury (England), Connor Glennon (England) and David O'Leary (England) -- are either sophomores or freshmen.
O'Hare, a sophomore, is the nation's 50th-ranked singles player and a player who Goebel describes as ''a big aggressive baseliner with a big serve game.'' O'Hare has lost two of his three matches at No. 1 singles to some of the nation's top players, but said what has been most gratifying is the confidence the team has gained from its 3-0 start.
''Even though Tennessee lost a lot of their starters from last year and are young, they have proven themselves with some big wins of late,'' O'Hare said. ''Beating Tennessee has given us a huge belief. Two days after we beat them, they beat Georgia Tech, the No. 15 team in the nation. It means they are just knocking on the door and that they are a good, young team like ourselves.''
Leary to gain exposure
Former Tiger offensive lineman Ronald Leary, who started every game the past three seasons, will participate in Saturday's Players All-Star Classic at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock. A first-year all-star game for college seniors, the classic kicks off at 3 p.m. and will be carried by Comcast Sports Southeast (CSS).
Leary, from Baton Rouge, La., played in 44 consecutive games for the U of M. He started the final 36 -- mostly at left tackle. He was moved to right guard the final six games of his career because of injuries on the line.
Odds and ends
Like the men, the women's tennis team moved to a program best national ranking Thursday. The ITA Rankings listed Memphis No. 59 after a 2-1 start, which includes a loss to No. 13 Georgia Tech. Two players -- Stefanie Mikesz (51) and Courtney Collins (60) -- are ranked in the top 60. ... The UofM softball team opens its season next Friday against No. 2 Alabama in the Mardi Gras Invitational in Mobile, Ala.

.- Catholics and Muslims can work together for the common good, Pope Benedict said on the second day of his state visit to Germany.
"As believers, setting out from our respective convictions, we can offer an important witness in many key areas of life in society," said the Pope at a Sept. 23 gathering of Catholic and Muslim leaders in Berlin.
"I am thinking, for example, of the protection of the family based on marriage, respect for life in every phase of its natural course or the promotion of greater social justice."
Germany has a Muslim population of four million – 5 percent of its population – with Berlin being the home of the largest Islamic community and the country's oldest mosque.
The Pope said that since the beginning of large-scale Muslim immigration to Germany in the 1970s, "a climate of respect and trust has grown up between the Catholic Church and the Muslim communities."
This friendship, though, has to go further than mere "peaceful co-existence" towards a recognition of "the contribution that each can make towards building up the common good."
The Pope noted that "many Muslims attribute great importance to the religious dimension of life," and said that this witness "to the public dimension of religious adherence" is very important in "a society that tends to marginalize religion or at most to assign it a place among the individual's personal choices."
Today's meeting between Pope Benedict and 15 representatives of the Muslim community took place at the residence of the papal nuncio in Berlin.
On his previous trip to Germany, in 2006, Pope Benedict offended some elements within the Muslim community after they construed to a speech he delivered at Regensburg as linking Islam to violence. Since then, the Pope has been eager to build a more substantial dialogue and understanding between Catholics and Muslims.
He concluded his meeting today by looking forward to his meeting with other world religions – including Muslims leaders – in the Italian town of Assisi next month.
"Through this gathering, we wish to express, with simplicity, that we believers have a special contribution to make towards building a better world, while acknowledging that if our actions are to be effective, we need to grow in dialogue and mutual esteem."

This is the third article on my series on how to retire early with tax-advantaged accounts. Be sure to check the first article and the second article, before reading this one, as it is a continuation of my ideas already presented there. Stay tuned for the fourth article later on this week.
With 401 (k) accounts, you can withdraw money penalty-free after the age of 55, penalty free. With IRA and Roth IRA accounts, you can withdraw money penalty-free after the age of 59.5 years. You can withdraw only contributions but not earnings from Roth IRA without penalty before the age of 59.50 years. Otherwise, a 10% penalty applies, unless Substantially Equal Periodic Payments (SEPP) are selected.
If you choose to retire early, but you have found an accidental income source that pays for your bills, you might decide that you can simply leave your tax-deferred accounts there to grow tax free for decades. This would be interrupted by age 70.5, when you would have to pay required minimum distributions for 401 (k) and IRA's, which increase as you age. As a result, it might make sense to roll-over some of that 401 (k) or IRA money into a Roth IRA. When you do that, you might have to pay ordinary income taxes on the amounts you convert to a Roth IRA. You can also, convert just a portion of your 401 (k) or IRA balance over to a Roth IRA, in order to minimize the tax hit.
For example, lets assume you needed $24,000 to live on annually, and you manage to somehow earn that in your retirement years from side-gigs. Let's assume that you have $50,000 in your 401 (k) plan. If all else is equal, you can essentially convert approximately $12,500 from your 401 (k) into a Roth IRA for four years in a row, and end up paying a 15% marginal tax rate on the conversion amount. The distributions from your Roth IRA will grow tax-free for as long as you live, and you would never have to withdraw them. Once you are eligible to withdraw them however after the age of 59.5 years old, the distributions would be tax free.
This means that if you contributed to a 401 (k) or a tax deductible IRA and you were paying more than a 25% tax at the Federal level, it would be very beneficial to convert to a Roth IRA, especially if you can pay a tax rate that is much lower than 25% on the conversion. Your money will grow tax free in the Roth, you would have the option to buy US securities traded on NYSE, Nasdaq or Amex, and your distributions would be essentially tax free when you are eligible to withdraw them.
There is also an exception related to Roth IRA accounts, when you made a conversion from a regular IRA or a 401 (k) and paid taxes on the converted amount. You can essentially withdraw the amount of the contribution you made to the Roth at the time of conversion after five years from the conversion. For example, if you converted a $1000 IRA into a Roth in 2000, you can withdraw that $1000 tax-free in 2006.
With a Roth IRA, you can essentially put up to $5,500 per year, if you are under the age of 50. This money grows tax-free for decades, and you never have to distribute it. When you are eligible to distribute all the money from the Roth ( typically after you are 59.5 years old), you won't owe any taxes on it. There is also this nice little thing about Roth IRA's, where you can withdraw your contributions, but not earnings, prior to age of 59.50 years old, without paying any penalties. The real issue with regular Roth IRA's is that it would take at least 10 – 15 years, before you can accumulate $100,000 in your account. Therefore, the way to attain critical mass with this account is through a rollover of a 401 (k), regular IRA or through a long period of contributing.

How to Retire Early With Tax-Advantaged Accounts
6 comments:

Pretty good series on taxes. I'd like to make a few comments.
I remember reading DM's article about investint in taxable accounts only. If you talk or give advice in general, that is fine but it all depends on provided choices in a 401k. I've heard that 401k of small businesses or even teachers are given load funds or insurance products that can be very expensive. Maybe it's OK to contribute to such bad 401k or 403k plans up to an employer's match, but not anymore. If there's no match, I don't I'd even advise to invest in such account. It could be a wash: when you save in taxes by contributing now, you might end up paying for the front loads and/or onerous expense ratios. Also, imagine if one gets laid off or has to retire in a year like 2008-2009 and want to convert his/her 401k to a Roth IRA. Not only did you incur losses in the 401k, but you must pay ordinary income taxes on the conversion whereas if you saved and invested in DG stocks in a taxable accounts the dividends would still be coming (hopefully with the right blue-chips). Anyway, you might be in a wash here.
Now speaking of DM if you tried to criticize his choice of investing, I definitely agree with you that he could at least open a Roth IRA because he would choose what to invest in, but we don't know what kind of funds are offered in his 401k or if he can get any match. Hopefully DM will read your articles and will tell us. I'd be interested to know.
Overall great info for newbies. Thanks I like the idea of converting 401k balances over to the Roth over a period of several years (adjusting the amount of the conversion each year to keep one's total taxable income in the lower brackets, preferably 15% or lower).
After the 5-year aging, the converted amount is yours to withdraw and deposit/invest in a taxable account with no strings attached.
I hope to use this strategy to complement a phased early retirement plan in the not too distant future.- AnonymousOctober 24, 2013 at 9:50 AM
If only we could roll over 401(k) funds from existing employers! I don't see myself leaving my current employer anytime in the next decade or more (37 y/o).
I had a ROTH 401(k) at a previous employer and the ability to move those funds over to my ROTH IRA has been extraordinary. I have 3x's as much money in my account than I would have had if I had been limited to the $5,000 (now $5,500) limit. - Jungle JimOctober 24, 2013 at 10:47 AM
My wife and I both opened Roth IRA brokerage accounts and contribute the max each year. Our plan is to never touch these funds (all dividend stocks) so that they can be inherited by our children (prayerfully many years from now). Although they will be required to take MRDs, our children's distributions will all be tax free and can be used to fund their Roth IRAs for future generations.

You can do an IRA to Roth Conversion and not pay any taxes if you set up and make a charitable contribution to your own charity (managed by Fidelity, Schwab and others). To avoid the taxes, have your accountant or TurboTax calculate the amount you would have to make to lower or eliminate any tax obligation. The charitable offset can be managed by you in investment funds for future gains. You may have to make nominal annual contributions from your charity to legitimate 501c3 tax exempt organizations (i.e., Salvation Army, Red Cross or your church). I have converted over 1.5 million in the past 5 years with little or no tax obligation and built a 150k charitable fund at Schwab. I am doing what Warren Buffet does - but on a smaller scale!
ReplyDelete Anon,
The point of the series is to get people thinking of whether optimizing their investments from a tax perspective makes sense. The decisions are up to the individual, depending on a variety of factors.
One of my friends has a 401K, where all the funds have fees of 1%, which is disgusting.
However, DM can easily do a SEP IRA, plus a ROTH. I would assume that he is likely going to push above the 25% bracket pretty soon ( if he hasn't already). Also, it might make sense for him to max out 401K, and get the maximum tax deductions at 25%, if he can pay no more than 10 -15% if he withdraws the money.
Thanks for comment. If I can get the deduction today, and pay almost no taxes ( or less in taxes) in Roth Conversion, I would be ecstatic.
Unfortunately, you can only do these rollovers when you leave employers. For Ex I have been "fortunate" to have switched jobs several times over the past decade. The 17.5K in ROTH 401k is nice, but unfortunately not available for everyone today.
Thanks for your comment. Good luck and hope your children wont get to touch the money for many decades from now ;-)
This sounds very complicated. I would have to research it, and see how it works.
My question is, how can you withdraw the money to use in your daily life? And aren't foundations required to distribute something like 5% of assets each year in order to maintain their status as a charity?

Ok, I return from Afghanistan in a little over 2 weeks and now that I have some spare money, I would like to make my 1995 Toyota Tacoma happy. Right now it has 168k supercharged miles on her. She is a 4X4 Extra cab 5 speed with the 3.4 liter engine. I have owned this truck since 98 and 30K miles. It has had the steering rack replaced and the timing belt and some other small items @110K.
Now, I would like to spoil her as she has been really good to me. Still on the original clutch and feeling good about it but gas milelage has steadily dropped down through-out the years. When I was last driving her she was only getting about 250 miles to a tank full. What should be done to bring the milage back up? She has 31's which she had all her life. There are also no dash lights warning of any problems and she passes her smog tests with flying colors. Oil is changed every 3k miles, tire pressure is always correct and everything seems to be operating normal. 250 miles out of an 18 gallon tank seems crazy to me especially when it used to be around 350 miles to the tank.
Any sugestions?

Renewing the "county attorney" debate
All right, so last week when Mayor Pro Tem Grady Smith was appointed to his new position, there was a lot of talk about whether or not he owed Augusta Commissioner Marion Williams an enormous favor. The rumor was that Smith was now willing to support Williams' crusade to fire General Counsel
Deadbeat Funk
A local musician has developed the reputation as the area's top deadbeat funkmeister (henceforth known as DF); more often than not, sources say, he does not pay unsuspecting musicians what they are owed. In one recent case brought to our attention, DF spent almost half a year exchanging texts

Teach the Children Well
It was a clear, 63-degree day when I decided to take my girls to the local park. I thought that we could all use the fresh air and sunshine. The park was full of energetic, merry children. While watching my girls play on the slide, I noticed a middle-aged black woman pushing a child in […]
Cornel West Is Coming
For some folks in Augusta, when they hear the name Cornel West, their first response is, "Yeah, I've seen that guy on Real Time with Bill Maher, right?" That's kind of like saying, "Oh yeah, Abe Lincoln. He's the guy on the $5 bill, right?" Dr. Cornel West is so much more than an outrageous
Crime on the Hill always sparks attention
There was a lot of criticism this week aimed at the local media for its ongoing coverage of the apparent murder-suicide inside a historic home along Walton Way. Some people pointed out if such a tragedy occurred off Tobacco Road in south Augusta, the media wouldn't give it the time of day.
So… Grady Smith is the new mayor pro tem
Augusta commissioner and all around good ol' boy Grady Smith was voted in this week as the city's new mayor pro tem. The original vote for Smith to get the gig was 7-3 with commissioners Bill Fennoy, Wayne Guilfoyle and Bill Lockett opposing the nomination. All three of those commissioners had

A Father's Failure
On January 11, 2005, I became a father. I was 24 years old and completely unprepared for the responsibilities of fatherhood. Since then, I have been blessed with two more children. Today, I am the proud father of three vibrant, beautiful and intelligent girls. Not long ago I realized something.

'SETTLE' – the brothers' first full-length recording – will be released on June 3 via PMR records (home to Jessie Ware and Julio Bashmore among others).
Leading the charge into the album is the single 'You & Me' featuring Eliza Doolittle, and as you'd expect, Disclosure continuously prove their ability in bringing the best out of their vocal collaborators, with Eliza's lustrous vocal immersed among Disclosure's trademark 2-step garage rhythms, once again showing beyond doubt their capacity in delivering yet another anthem alongside previous singles Latch and White Noise.
You & Me will receive it's unveiling to the world courtesy of Annie Mac as her 'Special Delivery' this coming Friday, April 19th and available to buy from iTunes April 28th.
Having steadily built a name for themselves as purveyors of a standard of music production way beyond their tender years, they've spent a solid couple of years honing their already prolific output into what's sure to be one of the debuts of 2013 – in any genre.
Most recent releases 'Latch' featuring Sam Smith and 'White Noise' featuring AlunaGeorge have sold over 600K combined (making both Silver certified singles). 'White Noise' which entered the UK singles chart at #2 on release still sits in the Top 15 after 10 weeks.
On the live front, Disclosure are continuing to smash it worldwide – their March UK tour sold out completely which led them to a run of sold out North American dates and back into Europe to close the month. The rest of 2013 promises to throw up a hugely impressive touring schedule that only boy's their age could handle.

Lexham English Bible (LEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 To you, O Yahweh, I call. O my rock, do not be deaf to me. Or else, if you are silent to me, then I will become like those descending to [the] pit. | 1 To you I call, O LORD my Rock; do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will be like those who have gone down to the pit. |
2 Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to you for help, when I lift up my hands toward your holy inner sanctuary. | 2 Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place. |
3 Do not drag me away with [the] wicked or with [the] workers of evil, [who] speak of peace with their neighbors, while evil [is] in their heart. | 3 Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who do evil, who speak cordially with their neighbors but harbor malice in their hearts. |
4 Give to them according to their work, even according to the evil of their deeds. Give to them according to the work of their hands; repay them their rightful due. | 4 Repay them for their deeds and for their evil work; repay them for what their hands have done and bring back upon them what they deserve. |
5 Because they do not regard the works of Yahweh, nor the work of his hands, he will destroy them and not rebuild them. | 5 Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD and what his hands have done, he will tear them down and never build them up again. |
6 Blessed [is] Yahweh, because he has heard the voice of my supplications. | 6 Praise be to the LORD, for he has heard my cry for mercy. |
7 Yahweh [is] my strength and my shield. My heart trusts him and I am helped. So my heart rejoices, and with my song I will give thanks to him. | 7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song. |
8 Yahweh [is] their strength, and he [is] the refuge for the salvation of his anointed one. | 8 The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. |
9 Save your people and bless your heritage. Shepherd them also and carry them always. | 9 Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever. |

Good morning my friends!
Make it a great day!
WOW can't believe it's Thursday already. The week is going by fast, as well as the month. I spent last night just relaxing and catching up on the news. This morning I did run over to DD1's house to see Dalton and Larissa get on the bus for their first day of school. They were surprised to see me. I explained to them that if they ever needed me to take them to school I would. But they are old enough to get around and catch the bus. I feel better now! You know I was feeling a little guilty but have realized that this is for their own good.
Rose any news?? My DSis is expecting her third grandbaby any day now too. They do not know the sex of the baby so that will be a surprise.
Candice sorry to hear the pup is so sick. I am sure that you are making him as comfortable as possible. (((HUGS))) to you and the pup. I am so happy to hear that the kids are coming for Labor Day weekend. That is exciting.
Becky I see you running around trying to catch up!
Sue glad you meal was so yummy!
Have to run but I'll try to get back later today. I have PT this afternoon. Looking forward to it.
Good afternoon my friends,
I've been busy again this week. Like you, Ginger, I can hardly believe it is already Thursday but will be very happy to see Saturday.
No baby yet but Lori did have to go to the ER last night. She'd been dizzy off and on all day, which she didn't think too much about. Since she had pre-eclampsia with Brice she has to take her BP three times a day. Her last BP reading before bed was 165/95. She waited 10 minutes and checked it again and it was higher. Fifteen minutes after that the bottom number had 9>gone back to 95 but the upper number was 200. She called the doctor and was told to go to the ER. After 30 minutes her BP had not gone down so they gave her medication and took some blood and checked her urine for protein but all was well. However, her BP dropped to 69/65 (I think that's correct) so she had to stay for observation. They released her around 1 am and she has to go see her doctor this afternoon.
Brice is awake and whining. Chat later....
Getting lots done...pup is still at the vets..he says he is doing better.....kinda nice not to have to be tied down with a pup at your side. So if something happens to him we will be very upset but have decided we probably will not get another unless it falls into our lap. Still have all 4cats.
Candice my prayers for all of you and Jasper. You know I feel for you and only want what is best for all of you. We feel the same we won't get another dog but will think on getting some cats.
Lots of love and hugs, Sue
Pup is home and in much better shape...he has his appetite back..now to see if it stays down...on special food and new medication. He has more to energy too.
So far his new food has stayed down......we are both very tired..and I way over did stairs ...he will get his stint out later if he keeps drinking.
Sue found this recipe for digestion...I am gonna try it next time my tummy issues flare.
. Will help digest,acid refux,bloating, and helps in weight loss.
8oz. WaterJuice 1 lemon1 tablespoon pure maple syrupUp to 1 tsp cayenne pepperMix and drink.
Maple syrup coats the stomach, the lemon and cayenne pepper help in digesting the food faster in your stomach.This is also good for anyone with asthma as the cayenne pepper helps open up the airways.
Rose how is Lori doing now?
Ginger...nice you could see them off on their first day! My kids used to get themselves up and fed and dressed and on the bus on days I was not feeling well or teaching...sometimes they would miss the bus and I would run them in.
Becky. So glad you and the new pup clicked!

On the lawn of the Arizona state capitol Tuesday, there were 51 empty chairs symbolizing heartbreak, sadness and senseless tragedy.
On the lawn of the Arizona state capitol Tuesday, there were 51 empty chairs symbolizing heartbreak, sadness and senseless tragedy.
Each represented a child who died in 2008 from maltreatment including neglect and severe child abuse, a crime that's on the rise, according to representatives from the Child Abuse and Awareness Coalition that formed to bring awareness to the problem and educate abusers and victims of help and options available.
Child abuse event to remember Chandler girl
As part of National Child Abuse Awareness Month, about 200 people from government agencies, nonprofit groups including Bikers Against Child Abuse, hospital personnel and law enforcement agencies attended the program initiated by the Chandler Police Department to remember children who died at the hands of their abusers. Half of Chandler's six homicides last year were from severe child abuse with the ages of the victims ranging from 3 weeks old to 3 years old.
Overall, Child Protective Services received more than 33,000 reports of child neglect or abuse last year, which ranks Arizona 31st in the number of reported cases, according to CPS.
Three-year-old Schala Vera of Chandler was one of them. Police said she died on Aug. 31 after her mother's boyfriend, Dauntorian Sanders, 23, beat her with a belt and dropped her on the floor several times. Some beatings came as he dangled Schala by her ankle above the second-floor stair bannister area, according to a Chandler police report. Police said they discovered Schala lying unresponsive on the bathroom floor between the toilet and vanity where she tried to hide from the beatings. Schala's mother, Susan Wichbracht, 27, who said she witnessed the beating on the day of Schala's death, told police she beat her daughter on occasion. Sanders and Wichbracht each have been charged with first-degree murder. They are scheduled to appear for a hearing in Maricopa County Superior Court on April 15.
"That case galvanized us to do something," Chandler police Chief Sherry Kiyler said. "We had to do something. Our goal is to expose it and provide options for those who need help before it's too late. Hopefully, the numbers will begin to diminish."
A team of four ER nurses from Mercy Gilbert Medical Center who tried to revive Schala said hers was the worst abuse case they had seen. The nurses attended Tuesday's ceremony where Gov. Jan Brewer, Kiyler and Childhelp officials Sara O'Meara, Yvonne Fedderson and Paul Pensone spoke of how a child is abused every 10 seconds in the United States.
"Unfortunately, the number of child abuse cases we are seeing is increasing and they're getting more severe," said Kepra Jack, an ER nurse at Mercy Gilbert, who was on shift when Schala was brought in. "I think Schala's case has hit us all, and it hasn't gone away. This day is about educating people about the problem and letting them know what resources are available. There's a misnomer out there that if you seek help for abusing your child, your child will be taken away. If people need help, they need to seek help.
"There's all kinds of resources available and many of them are free. We're living in tough socio-economic times and it's supposed to get worse. People are stressed anyway, and if they have problems coping at home, it only makes the problem worse."
Brewer, who lit five candles to remember the number of children who die from abuse each day in the U.S., said, "We all have a special duty to ensure the safety of all children in Arizona and in the country. This requires neighborhoods and communities to be on alert. Most importantly, if you suspect abuse, report it."
A girl who was a victim of sexual abuse from her stepfather for four years before she reported him when she was 14, spoke during the awareness event.
"It's OK to tell," she said. "It shouldn't be happening."

"One family, they mortgaged their home to send their sons," Federici continues. "They were there three weeks. A week after they got back, their sons torched the house. They'd spent every penny."
Parents, Federici says, are "desperate and looking for magical solutions." Sometimes they find what they're looking for on the Internet. Unfortunately, he adds, some of those Web sites and chat groups are peopled with "pseudo experts...and desperate parents who claim to be experts."
Members of the Attachment Disorder Support Group, a parent group with its own Web site, acknowledge concerns that the growth in attachment-oriented services may lead to misdiagnosis and extreme forms of treatment. They advise parents to choose a therapist with broad, extensive training, one who uses a variety of treatments, "beginning with the least intrusive." They also provide a list of attachment therapists in 35 states and Canada, as well as a direct link to the Attachment Center at Evergreen.
But there's a shortage of therapists who have been professionally trained to treat attachment disorders, says Gray. So in their struggle to find ways to deal with their children, some parents have been driven to seek unorthodox therapies and therapists in the hope that something will help. "Some of these fringe therapists can have cultlike followings," he says. "That feeds into parents' desperation. You have a child causing widespread havoc, and maybe you've heard of one fringe therapist who's maybe had success with a certain child, and maybe the parent has tried everything else, and they gravitate to the fringe.
"A lot of it is born out of parents' desperation. There's not too much worse that can happen in a family than having an untreated RAD child in the home."
But the death of ten-year-old Candace Newmaker in April this year went way beyond the "fringe."
At age six, Candace had been adopted by a North Carolina woman, Jeane Newmaker. Four years later, Candace still wouldn't allow Newmaker to hold her.
Newmaker had tried traditional therapy for her daughter, but it hadn't seemed to work. After listening to a speaker at a conference on attachment disorder, Newmaker decided to take her daughter to Evergreen. She went to see Connell Watkins, Cline's old associate, and paid $7,000 for a two-week therapeutic "intensive."
Candace was in her fifth day of therapy when she was made to undergo "rebirthing therapy." She was wrapped in blankets and surrounded by pillows. As she lay swaddled there, several adults pushed on the pillows, simulating a mother's contractions.
Candace was supposed to wiggle out of the covers and be "reborn" to her adopted mother. Instead, she complained that she couldn't breathe. She said she was going to throw up. She said she was dying. The therapists, inured to complaints, were unmoved by her pleas. When they finally opened the blanket, thirty minutes after Candace last spoke, she wasn't breathing. She had choked on her own vomit.
Candace was rushed to Children's Hospital, where she died the following day. Watkins and three of her associates at Watkins & Associates have been charged with reckless child abuse resulting in death; Newmaker has been charged with a lesser count of child abuse.
After Candace's death, but before those charges were filed, Cline referred to Watkins as "courageous," praising her because she was "willing to try non-traditional treatments."
Now, however, he says he must remain silent.
Federici has no such qualms. He says he might even work with the prosecution on the Watkins case.
"It's safe to say what those people were doing wasn't any recognized form of psychotherapy," he says. "It was total garbage. What they practiced absolutely was unrelated to any psychological theory or proven treatment modality. It was grossly unprofessional. And anybody who supports that type of therapy is completely out to lunch themselves."
Although Watkins does have her supporters, including RAD kids and their parents, other therapists, particularly those in Evergreen, quickly distanced themselves from her clinic and her techniques.
At the Attachment Center at Evergreen, where Watkins once served as executive director, representatives make a point of explaining that they do not use rebirthing therapy or "any other therapy that puts children at risk of harm," says Paula Pickle, a licensed clinical social worker who's the current executive director.
"The problem I've had with [Watkins] is that [for her], the ends justify the means," Attachment Center clinical director Forrest Lein told a North Carolina reporter.
The Attachment Center at Evergreen continues to host annual attachment and bonding conferences featuring speakers from across the country and Canada. The next conference, slated for July 29, is titled, "Adoption Issues and Attachment Disordered Kids." Topics to be discussed include pre-psychotic conditions in youth, neurological evaluations on foster/ adoptive children, and how attachment disorder impacts families.
Federici won't be there. He also says he plans to boycott the 12th International Conference on Attachment and Bonding, set for October in Minneapolis, because "most of the keynote speakers are from Evergreen."
Although the deaths of both Candace Newmaker and Berta Evers received a lot of attention, the coverage hasn't come close to matching that given the death of David Polreis.

Sewer Overflow in Dubuque
DUBUQUE, Iowa (CBS 2/Fox 28) -- A plugged sanitary sewer pipe has caused untreated wastewater to flow into a nearby drainage creek.
The pipe is located in a wooded area in the 3100-block of John F. Kennedy Road on Dubuque's west side. The City of Dubuque Public Works Department was notified at 5:30 PM on Saturday. Crews arrived to correct the issue and normal flow resumed in the pipe by 7:30 PM.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources warns people to keep their children and pets away from the area for 48 hours.
For additional information, contact the Iowa DNR Manchester Field Office at 563-927-2640.

F'ville may back loan to buy store on courthouse square
The April 17 meeting of the Fayetteville City Council will include a proposal that the city back a loan for the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) to purchase a building on the courthouse square for re-sale and to discuss City Manager Joe Morton's request that he step down from the board of the Fayette County Development Authority.
The meeting was to include a vote on the potential consolidation of the city and county fire departments. A special meeting to further discuss the consolidation will be held April 23 at 5 p.m. at City Hall.
The council on April 17 will consider a proposal to serve as a loan guarantor for the DDA's purchase of the former dress shop at Lanier Avenue and Glynn Street for re-sale as retail or restaurant use.
Community Development Director Brian Wismer said DDA has sought financing from Regions Bank for 80 percent of the $179,000 purchase price of the 1,700 sq. ft. building.
"Because of DDA's interdependence with the city for a portion of its revenue source, the lender has requested that the city serve as the guarantor of the loan," Wismer said.
Wismer said DDA wants to acquire the vacant property to continue the restaurant and retail momentum going in the downtown area, adding that the goal is to sell the building for a similar purpose.
Also at the meeting, Morton is requesting that his seat on the Fayette County Development Authority be given to Mayor Greg Clifton.
Morton in an April 10 letter said, "With the changes occurring in the makeup of the FCDA board I think this would also be a good opportunity for someone else to serve as the city's representative."
Morton has served two four-year terms prior to being unanimously re-appointed by the council last month.
I am not sure, but don't think there has ever been a vote. Perhaps the county could jump on board. Does GA law restrict to allowing only municipalities to have liquor stores? Spyglass, that's awesome that you can ride your golfcart to your local store. How convenient.
not just adult beverage stores.
If you do research on Liquor Laws, you will find that Georgia has some of the strictest in the Country...3 tier system etc...The Carolina's and Utah may be worse...but not by much.
When will Fayetteville allow for liquor stores to be within the city limits? Currently, if you live in Fayetteville, one must travel to Peachtree City, Riverdale, or Lovejoy. Those municipalities are reaping the benefit of our money. With all the "development" that Pinewood is to bring in, I would imagine those folks would like quick access to some adult beverage stores. Has anyone done any calculations on what revenue a liquor store or two would bring into the coffers? Just throwing it out there for discussion.
I have no idea, I ride my golf cart to PTC Beverages...

Every time we run the dishwasher we get horrible loud knocking sounds in the water line as the dishwasher is pulling in water. When we run the kitchen faucet the noises stop. BTW I've also posted this in plumbing and appliances. I'm hoping maybe someone here has been through this and knows what the problem is. I haven't found anything researching online. I've had two highly recommended plumbers to the house about this problem. The first one said it was my faucet tap and replaced the parts and for awhile it was slightly better. The second one claimed it was air trapped in the pipes, drained all the water out and fiddled around - that didn't help. He then suggested the it was the dishwasher but said he had no knowledge how dishwashers worked or what the problem could be. I believe the dishwasher is about 7-8 years old and appears to be working properly - dishes come out clean within an appropriate time frame. The machine interior is clean - no build up of debris or clogged lines. Has anyone here have this problem? Is it the dishwasher and were you able to repair it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Probably air knocking. Check the flexible water supply line installation. The line is usually connected to a water supply line at the kitchen sink. From there, the line should be installed so the flex line loops above the connection points(both to the water supply and the unit connection points). |
Might be the fill valve for the DW. The solenoid valve could be dropping out. Take off the kick plate cover and listen and put your hand on the valve as the DW is filling. |
- Posted by Skypathway1 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 6, 13 at 22:13
Thanks handymac - I will check the flexible water supply line. Thanks ionized - I'm thinking that it might be the fill valve also - this weekend we take the kick plate off to check it. This was very helpful information. |
Dishwashers don't "pull" in water. Thy have a solenoid valve that opens the line and fills the basin. Once filled the pump inside turns on and pushes the water through the sprayers for the wash cycle. It drains and repeats with fresh water for the rinse cycle, just like a clothes washer. How do you fill the dishwasher? Often the dishes will bang when the pump/sprayers are working. The only way I can see the kitchen tap coming into play is if you have a solenoid issue as suggested by ionized. It could be cycling open and closed and the noise is water hammer as it opens/closes. Opening the tap would reduce the line pressure and lesses the resulting water hammer as the valve opens and closes. |
Additionally, there should be a valve controlling the DW water supply that have washers which can deteriorate, so, try changing the position of this valve. The logic behind this, is that when you open the sink faucet the hammer stops. Well, you have changed the volume of flow when you opened the sink faucet. |

http://i.imgur.com/EkYDfoA.jpg It is about 8 inches tall, is it ready to start pruning? I just want to ensure some new/bushy growth, I don't actually care to harvest it right now-if I would be better off not touching it yet then I wont. Also, if I do prune it, should I cut it where I marked it with the "1" or with the "2"? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
You don't really need to 'prune' basil. If you harvest it regularly for eating that should be sufficient. You could certainly take the top off that stem and use it in the kitchen. It will quickly throw out two stems from the leaf axils below the cut. 1 or 2 would work, it isn't crucial where exactly you snip. |
- Posted by dominickg23 none (My Page) on Sun, Jul 13, 14 at 8:03
Thanks, But I am a bit confused as to where the new stems would grow in...to me it seems like there is already a stem above every single leaf, are these not true stems? |
Your plant doesn't have a finite number of stems. It can keep growing more until the end of the growing season. In the angle between every leaf petiole and the stem it is attached to there is an axillary bud. Every one of those buds has the potential to grow into a new stem. This is how the process of 'bushing' out works. Just snip off your basil at 1 or 2 and you will see what happens. |
- Posted by dominickg23 none (My Page) on Sun, Jul 13, 14 at 9:15
Yes, you're right, I should see for myself. I just went out and cut it, thanks. |
Every stem you cut will grow back two stems. |
- Posted by dominickg23 none (My Page) on Sun, Jul 13, 14 at 19:50
I have one other question, if I was to pluck a single leaf off the main stem, would a new one grow back in the same place? After I cut off the top I picked a single leaf which looked badly damaged by leafminers. But I left the petiole-will a new one grow in its place or should I just remove the entire thing? Not that it really matters but it looks stupid just sitting there with no leaf on it. |
No, a new one won't grow, but you get a new stem growing there as explained before. |
The petiole will shrivel and die. But a new shoot may grow from the leaf axil. Whether it does or not is down to circumstances - water, nutrition, what's going on elsewhere on the plant, but the potential to grow a shoot exists at every axil. |

You should tell the Rosegarden developers that because they make the

worked "out of the box" for me, which is why I use it, whereas NoteEdit
was problematic (see below).

Yes, I have tried it. It kept crashing on me, and I had trouble getting
it to find my MIDI devices (the TSE3 library, I think, was the issue, it
was segfaulting on startup), and refused to import any of my MIDI files.
It doesn't support Jack either, which is crucial for the setup I am
using for composing and recording.

I recently attended Loyalty Expo 2013, hosted by Loyalty360 in Orlando, and took away some great examples and educational nuggets around how brands, specifically in the travel industry, are enhancing their customer loyalty initiatives. A common mantra among customer-centric companies is that customer loyalty is not a destination, but a constant journey to support customers and deliver an optimal experience. Through every channel – in-person, online, through a call center – and at every customer touch point, there is an opportunity to drive and deepen a customer's brand loyalty.

I live in Mumbai and all direction and instruction was given over the phone and a few e-mails before my site was hosted online. They are a fairly new company which explains their diligence, exceptional hardwork and interest in delivering 100% satisfaction to a client. I already have and will continue to recommend his team to anyone who wishes to get a website made. "

"I have been making this for years. We like to use white bread and but the turkey and gravy between the bread and on top. We then eat it with a fork. This is great with leftover turkey also."

I just ordered the Graco Ready 2 Grow... Has 12 different riding options and can turn into a sit and stand. I can't wait for it to get here... I need to get out of this house! :)
Our family is growing by two feet!

I have the Phil & Ted's. I got it for my shower and have used it with my daughter (15 months) and nephew (23 months) since my daughter was just a few months old. I love it! I'm on the smaller side (not at the moment because I'm 37 wks, but typically) so strolling them side by side seemed more challenging. I'm due Jan. 2nd and planning on using it with both. I LOVE the option to attach in the front (when baby is little) and the back. It's easy to push, open, close, etc.
