Arizona Diamondbacks
Arizona Diamondbacks' Didi Gregorius welcomes infield competition
Didi Gregorius is no stranger to competition, in fact he welcomes it.
The 24-year-old Arizona Diamondbacks infielder enters his second season in a position battle for the starting shortstop role after playing only 111 career games.
"Every sport for me is competition," Gregorius told Doug and Wolf on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM.
Right now it is Chris Owings and veteran Cliff Pennington who Gregorius will battle in spring training for the starting gig.
"I really want the position to be mine but it's not in my hands," the Netherlands native said. "Last year I didn't do much in spring because I was injured but this year has been going good. I'm just going to go out there and play my game."
After starting last year on the disabled list due to a right elbow injury that didn't allow him to throw, he was called up from AAA Reno on April 16 after Aaron Hill suffered a broken hand.
Two days later, on the first pitch in his first at-bat, Gregorius launched his first career homer off of Yankee pitcher Phil Hughes.
Gregorius enjoyed a hot start to the season last year, batting .275 in the first half, but cooled down after the All-Star break. Gregorius ended his rookie campaign with a .252 average, seven home runs and 47 runs scored.
While Gregorius shines on the defensive side with a .971 fielding percentage and speed to cover most of the middle infield, his younger teammate Owings is known for being a superior hitter.
Owings was called up to the D-backs on September 1 after being drafted in the first round of the 2009 draft. His offensive production earned him the 2013 Pacific Coast League Player of the Year while batting .330 for AAA Reno.
"Competition for me is something natural and normal," Gregorius said. "It's not something new for me and the competition makes the best of you come out."

Lodge a little dated, but lovely location
Enjoyed our stay. When we got there we couldn't find the reception so spent a good 2-3 minutes driving up and down the entrance (would be ideal if they'd put a sign up indicating "reception this way"). Once we managed to get the key and passes from reception we went into our sunset caravan with all our things, I went straight into a bedroom to feed my 5weeks old baby and my son sat in the lounge while hubby bought in all the luggage from the car. I heard my son fall 3 times, I asked him and he'd said he slipped. I came and checked the kitchen area and there was water everywhere. Called up reception and they sent maintenance to check it over, because it was raining nothing could be done at the time so we were advised to change caravans. Hubby went to reception and was given the option to upgrade for an extra amount, so we did as the sunset caravan didn't look very clean. We got the platinum caravan which had a hell of difference. This was so much better and cleaner than the sunset caravan. Had we not upgraded our holiday we wouldn't have enjoyed it.
Excellent clean well run site
Lovely area, beautiful views from lodge and very clean and tidy. Lodge could be doing with updating and park very hilly not suitable for anyone with walking difficulties. But would definately recommend for a great holiday.
We had a short but very enjoyable stay, and was quite impressed with the modern facilities in our caravan. The swimming pool was a nice temperature, with clean surroundings. Only popped into the bar a couple of times, but seemed that something was always going on, entertainment wise. Would stay at this park again.
Had a great time,can't fully comment on the facilities as only used pool and kids park.
Good week with the grandsons
Very noisy site
The site was very well kept clean and tidy with plenty to do especially for kids if you want it. The site is within walking distance to Goodrington sands but there is a stiff slope from the site.
We had a fantastic time, weather was gorgeous. Only suggestion would be a free bus to the beach or Goodrington. Hill very steep!
We had a fantastic 1st trip away with our ten month old daughter, and Beverley Park made this a memorable and enjoyable trip. Thankyou! :)
We had a fantastic holiday, our boys love it, but it would have been good to have a skate park or something more for the teenagers to do because the park to small & the pool closed so they' ve only got crazy golf to do,but we still had a great holiday, many thanks & we would go again.
Caravan was spotlessly clean and well laid out.
All staff were helpful and efficient
We stayed an extra night because we liked it so much
Only one criticism, the Internet facilities were very poor, but
THANKS, great break
Excellent holiday . We arrived to a warm reception and from then on every member of staff or the entertainment team were excellent. We went to celebrate my mom 79th birthday and it was brilliant
Nice place and staff, but the bedroom caravan not warm enough other than that is good.

"Bulk Smash, Baby! Bulk Smash!"
Originally posted by swing848
Please help me understand what you were trying to get across here. All I'm taking from this is that you think in a games with CC there are classes with different jobs and they all have to do their job for the group to win. I don't see in this post where you make a point to disprove that using CC in PvE to prevent group mates classes weren't designed to take hits from mobs, which in my opinion becomes strategic therefore making it not "dumbed down." Although the forms of CC have may have been "dumbed down."
I certainly am not going to argue that you have to have roles set by classes in a game (Tank, Healer, DPS, CC). However the conversation was about using CC (mezz, specific in this case) was strategic and not just a mindless task preformed by the player to ensue a group win.
You are right about one thing to an extent. Having defined class roles is supposed to promote grouping which in turn promotes interaction between people who are of the same faction. This creates community. Games like WoW where Gearscore is implemented (player or developer) does nothing to help the community. It tends to increase the elitist cliche which while funny at times is usually nothing more than a giant pile of giant douchebagery. Frankly, if I am raiding I always look at player skill before gear. Does it help to have a 6.5 GS sure but as anyone who has played WoW recently knows it never means they have 6.5k of what ever you want to deem units of skill. People in WoW far to often forget this. I can't tell you how many good players I've found by giving them a chance to prove themselves in situations where average players with good gear will act exactly like an average player with good gear. It's the great players with quick reactions and thinking that shine in those situations that I want by my side slaying intraweb dragons. On the flip side I can't tell you how many bads I've found in elite gear who were so terrible I just either spammed the kick button until the timer reset or trolled them until they left. It boils down to skill and enjoyment of playing with you as a player for me. I don't care what you are wearing unless you are a lady in which case it better be nothing.

OP; ever played World of Warcraft? Blizzard, the producers, have (afaik) stated they would reduce(remove?) CC's, still they give more and more CC to many classes. *cough cough* mages *cough cough*. Anarchy Online still have (afaik) just as much CC as ever before. People can be rooted for a LOOOOOONG time there, as there is no "diminishing returns" effect.
I don't think CC is about to be gone for many years yet. I can agree I see it is being reduced, and I would welcome a complete removal of CC*s, but I think it will always be a part of MMO's.

i'm happy to be here
I played an Enchanter in EQ1. I think you could keep 5 or 6 mobs mobs locked down at a time with a mez rotation, backed up by your AOE stuns. It was a challenging class because that's just the way pulls were. DPS assisted the tank, you had to take care of everything else. The downside of that was that every group basically needed an enchanter (until they started doing things like monk unresistable pacifications). I don't really ever want to see a game like that again, where one class was so dominant in that role and so necessary due to the nature of the pulls that you absolutely needed one in every group.
While I like the idea of giving basically every class a single crowd control method, like WoW, forcing everybody to get involved, even that seems pretty ezmode. Mage sheep that guy, priest shackle that guy, druid sleep that animal and you're done, especially when the CC lasts a good amount of time (30 seconds or more), and has a shorter cooldown, letting you refresh it at will.
I like the idea of skillful crowd control. Say what you want about WoW's hunters being morons for the most part, but you can tell when one of them knows what they're doing with the traps. The Warlock succubus was another one that you could use to great effect, but relied on the survival of your pet which could EASILY be one shotted. Or Fear. Always fun and exciting.
I think a good solution (or the start of one) is to focus on short term effects, as well as ones that don't just completely lock enemies down. A root or a snare can effectively be a mez, but they require more positioning and coordination than just pushing a button and having a sheep wander around in the middle of mobs are being tanked. Or a knockback or a knockdown that works just long enough to keep your squishies from being attacked, letting the tank get control back.
TL:DR I think CC abilities are important to have, but generally the worse they are, the better you have to be to use them to full effectiveness. And I'm always in favor of games where you can really tell the goods from the bads.

Freeloading mooches are the scourge of the gaming community.
In most games being developed nowadays, mobs are clustered in a VERY organized structure. Few mobs roam large expanses, indoors or out. Also in dugeons instances players move from place to place instead of camping and relying on a puller to pull to the group requiring the puller to pull further and further away from the group in the process which included more risk that on his way back or out the puller would aggro more mobs than intended.
In games now, players instead move forward going for an objective in a simple and safe orderly fashion. Once the players learn the patterns of an instance or area, it pretty much will always be that way. This is one of the reasons that when players enter an instance for the first time as a group of friends it is much harder as they have to learn the very simplistic and small areas that patrols do roam.
There are 2 more recent Post WOW games that have actually done Crowd control some justice..Those 2 would be Vanguard Saga of Heroes and Aion..The Psioncist from Vanguard was excellent at Crowd control at higher levels. Aion plays like a hybrid inmho to WOW and EQ1...
You could throw EQ2 in there as well I didnt play high enough in EQ2 as i didnt care for it which sucks. Because I loved EQ1 and to this day is still probably the best game I have ever played. Vanguard ranking a close 2nd. Aion is currently growing on me some as well.

Dura Supreme Cabinetry
Months after being endorsed by Equality Florida as a candidate for Sarasota City Commission, Shelli Freeland Eddie told the organization she feels personally opposed to same-sex marriage and asked that the organization stop publicly listing her as a supporter of its agenda. "Because of my faith, I should have not completed the survey responses the way I did, and I should not have accepted your endorsement," Eddie wrote in an email to the political group.
The move spurred a public repudiation of Eddie by a number of liberals in the region, including many who supported her successful candidacy. "Shelli not only deceived the Equality Florida PAC with her answers on its candidate questionnaire, she deceived her campaign donors and she deceived the voters," said Ken Shelin, co-chair of Equality Florida and a former Sarasota City Commissioner.
But Eddie told SRQ in an interview this morning that her opinions on gay marriage from a legal standpoint remain the same as reflected in the form. In light of the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision stating states cannot ban same-sex marriage, she felt a need to elaborate on her personal feelings beyond her responses in the candidate questionnaire. "I am also fighting for equal protection under the law for everyone," she said. "But from a personal standpoint, decisions the court made are in personal contradiction with my faith."Read More ›

Teen golfer Lydia Ko splits with coach of 11 years
WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- Teenage golf star Lydia Ko has split with the only coach she has had since she took up the sport as a 5-year-old.
Guy Wilson, who has worked with the 16-year-old Ko for 11 years, issued a statement saying he was "incredibly disappointed" the partnership is over. Ko hasn't publicly commented on the decision.
Michael Yim, her agent at IMG, said Monday that Ko worked with various teachers at the Leadbetter Academy in Florida before going to Taiwan for the Swinging Skirts tournament, an event she won two weeks ago in her second start as a professional. Kim said Ko plans to meet with other teachers before deciding on a full-time coach.
Ko has won five professional tournaments -- four as an amateur -- while coached by Wilson, who said it had "been an honor to help develop Lydia into the No. 4 golfer in the world."
"When I first met her the golf clubs were taller than she was and she didn't know the first thing about a driver or a putter, but now she has one of the most envied swings in the women's golf world," Wilson said.
Born in South Korea and raised in New Zealand, Ko won the Women's Canadian Open at 15 last year to become the youngest winner in LPGA Tour history and successfully defended the title this year.

"Your opinions are SHIT!" is something that those of us that love art want to hear from our artists. We want them bitter, angry, non-conformists that aren't afraid to insult their patrons' opinions of their anti-consumer art.
I may be in the minority, but I've always wanted my artists to be bitter, angry, maladjusted people that have found no other way to vent their rage on the world than to pick up an instrument and a canvas of some sort and go sit in a corner for a couple months. I also want them to turn some pent up hatred on me for being so well-adjusted that I can watch some Everybody Loves Raymond, while eating Skittles and drinking a domestic beer and feel better about myself. I want to be the product of the rage they feel for receiving poor critical reviews and poor reception from their peers. I would probably go so far as to question the artistic temperament of an artist that greeted me with genuinely appreciative smile that lacked all condescension, and I would probably leave their exhibit if they decided to engage in a conversation with me about my opinions.
The path to artistic purity is different for every artist, but most true artists do not set out to create consumer-friendly pieces. Some, however, loathe the common man's opinion so much they're looking at something else before you can complete your second sentence, and this usually comes through in their art. Even most authors that write bestsellers, for the sole purpose of writing a bestseller, will argue till they bleed that their art was not intended to be as consumer-friendly as perceived, and that they just happened to create something that consumers love. You can't blame them, no matter how much you may disagree, for if they openly stated that their creation was intended to be universally pleasing to consumers, no one would consider them serious artists.
If you are a starving artist, that openly states how much you love fans in your artistic statement –and you're hoping to have your art in a New York City gallery– you may want to save yourself a lot of heartache and just consider another profession now. You may want to consider trying out for the Denver Broncos instead, because you're going to have a better chance of making their team than the ones that have their works considered for a New York City art gallery, and that attitude will be more welcome there. You can say that you enjoy receiving input from those that have experienced your piece, but it has to be meticulously worded so as to avoid anyone interpreting your artistic statement as one of appreciation.
The anti-consumer theme has a timeless quality about it that goes to the heart of the artist. Its provocative nature does not yield to pop culture winds. It is anti-pop culture, and thus a "hot ticket" in any era that appreciates their artists.
Little, old ladies that are perpetually trying to appear young and hip, will walk up to you in these galleries and tell you that they find the most disturbing pieces: "Wonderful", "Amazing", and "Isn't it wonderful and amazing?!"
"You are so not my demographic," is something a true artist of an anti-consumer piece of art might say if they heard such comments from little, old ladies. A rejection of such compliments, from such people could enshrine this artist in the word-of-mouth halls of the art world, particularly if the artist put some sort of exclamation point on their rejection, by either spitting or puking on their shoes.
Artists of anti-consumer art are always torn over compliments, for their product is intended to be a rejection of everything we hold dear. They're meant to be disturbing, provocative pieces that unsettle you in your conformist world. A little, old lady trying to let others think that she's still young and hip enough to "get" such a piece that is a direct angry, bitter comment on how her generation screwed us all up with toys and war and unattainable gender-specific imagery has to be particularly vexing for the artist that feels a warm glow rising.
The best way to handle that might be to puke on her shoes. An enterprising, young, anti-consumer artist may even want to set a situation like that up, in a publicity junket, for she would surely be the talk of the town if she pulled it off.
"Did you hear what happened when some old bag complimented Janice on her anti-50's piece?" word-of-mouth patrons would say to one another. "She puked on her shoes." It could become the artist's folklore.
Criticism of the theme of the piece would be the next-best reaction, for the angst-ridden, bitter, and angry artist, especially if it were to come from some old crank from the 50's. This would allow the artist to say, "Good, it was meant to make you angry. It was meant to have you re-examine all that you've done to us."
If you're not of the 50's generation, and you deign to criticize anti-consumer art, you could be deigned part of the problem, a person that needs to get out more, or someone that doesn't understand the full scope of what the artist is trying to say. The sociopolitical theme of anti-consumerism could then be said to be insulated against criticism by its very nature. If that is the case, why wouldn't every curator want their gallery lined with anti-consumer pieces?
The anti-consumer artist doesn't have to worry about using timely products either, for it could be said that all consumer-related products can be used as symbols to transcend the ethos of any era. A pro-consumer piece would not have allowances, for to try and create an artistic expression that professes an enjoyment of Superman cereal, the consumer must have some experience with Superman cereal that they can use to relate to the theme. That piece may evoke some sentiments of quaint nostalgia, but if you're not willing to include some underlying, angst-ridden message about the ways in which eating Superman cereal created unrealistic expectations in your mind, and thus messed up your childhood, you're probably not going to fetch the kind of price tag that a bitter, condemnation of consumerism will.
The question that I'm sure many anti-consumer, starving artists would love to know is, is there a sliding scale on anti-consumerist statements? If your piece is subtly anti-consumer, with an ironic twist, what kind of return can you expect for your time; if you're vehemently anti-consumer how much more profitable will that piece be; and is there a percentage by which your price tag increases in conjunction with your bullet point adherence to the sociopolitical, anti-consumer theme?
Walking through these galleries, one can't help but feel overwhelmed with the amount of anti-consumer art for sale. It has become the most consumer-friendly, rebellious, and radical theme in the art world. If you're a starving artist, and you're not painting, sculpting, or putting together an anti-consumer collage, your fellow artists would probably ask you what the hell you're waiting for? It's become the safest theme for an artist to explore if they want their work exhibited. Curators don't have to worry about fads or trends in the art world, for the very idea of fads and trends are anti-consumer, and that which an anti-consumer artist speaks out against. All a curator has to do is occasionally rotate their anti-consumer art year around, and their gallery can exist in the radical, counterculture milieu 365 days a year. It's progressed to a point where one would think that a truly rebellious artist –looking to be truly counterculture, regardless what it said in his pocketbook– would take one look around at all the anti-consumer art in the art world and artistically stick their middle finger up in the rebellion to expose it for what it has become.
The question of how to frame it would be an obstacle of course, for it would be career suicide to have your anti-anti-consumer art be confused with pro-consumer art.
It says eat at McDonald's," a curator would surely say with disgust for your piece.
"Exactly," you would reply, "It's my attempt to highlight the stereotypical art of anti-consumerism. Grimace is a vehicle for the larger idea through which I attempt to explore the tendency our counterculture has to use social media and propaganda to prescribe narrow contrived definitions of art to individuals and the nation."
The hip, avant garde patrons of your piece would surely consider your artistic statement to be an subtly ironic stab at consumerism. They might consider it quaint, hilarious, and an incredible salvo sent to consumers around the world that don't get it. If you were available to answer questions, and you implored them to accept your anti-anti-consumer theme for what it is, you could be quite sure that all those smiles would flatten out, and they might consider you obnoxious, and maybe even a whore for corporate America.
I just want to celebrate the history and tradition of Grimace," would be our intro to the patrons of our exhibit. "I also want to explore, in my painting, all the joy and happiness Grimace has brought to so many lives?"
"Are you being subtly ironic?" they would ask.
"No. It's an anti-anti-consumer theme that I hope to explore here."
"So, it's a pro-consumer statement?" one of the more obnoxious patrons would say to intrude upon your pitch.
"Good God no!" you would be forced to say at this point, if you hoped to generate the amount of interest that might result in a sale.
If you had the artistic temperament that didn't care about the sale, however, and your focus remained on the artistic theme, you would probably have to engage in a substantial back and forth with the patrons of your piece before they could come to the conclusion that you weren't putting them on, and that you weren't being obnoxious. Being obnoxiously anti-consumer is not only accepted, it's expected, but being obnoxiously anti-anti-consumer would probably be deemed pro-consumer and thus inexcusably obnoxious.
I'm guessing that not only would you have trouble attracting patrons to your exhibit, but it would be difficult to find a self-respecting curator to showcase your work. If you did find a curator that was willing to showcase some of your early, more obnoxious works, and that curator knew enough about his industry to be objective about it, they would probably sit you down, at some point, and say something along the lines of: "I know you want to be considered a serious artist, you should know that this anti-anti, countering the counter theme is not built for the long haul. If you want serious cachet in the art world, you have two genres to consider: anti-consumerism and vehemently anti-consumerism. I'd suggest you drop this anti-anti-consumer statement and make it known that your works contain a subtly ironic, anti-consumer twist, if you ever hope to sell anything."
If you somehow managed to achieve a degree of fame with your theme, you can bet you would be the scourge of the art world, and at some point your fellow artists would roundly condemn you for your audacity. "You're ruining this for all of us. What are you doing?"
At which point you could look them all in the eye and say, "Isn't that subtly ironic?"

Clarksville, TN – Although Austin Peay junior center Chris Horton was bypassed for Ohio Valley Conference honors—he was named first team by College Hoops Daily and second team by College Sports Madness—his 2014-15 season certainly left its mark and cannot be overlooked for multiple achievements by the lanky 6-8 Decatur, Georgia native.

Clarksville, TN – Junior Tiasha Gray, of the Austin Peay State University women's basketball team, has been named the Copies in a Flash APSU Athlete of the Week.
Gray took home adidas®/Ohio Valley Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Week honors after her 36-point, six-steal performance helped Austin Peay clinch the No. 7 seed on the regular season's final day with a comeback win at Southeast Missouri, Saturday. She also was tabbed as CollegeSportsMadness.com OVC Women's Basketball Player of the Week for her work against the Redhawks.

Cape Girardeau, MO – Austin Peay will close out the 2014-15 season when it travels to Southeast Missouri for a 6:00pm, Saturday, Ohio Valley Conference contest at the Show Me Center.

Forward Chris Freeman scored a career-high 24 points while Damarius Smith produced the go-ahead bucket with 40 seconds left and Ed Dyson sealed the contest in the closing seconds with free throws as Austin Peay defeated SIU Edwardsville, 64-61, Thursday night, in Ohio Valley Conference action in Dave Aaron Arena.

Surprising Character Names
Does anyone watch the show Lost Girl? Love it! However, I love it even more now that I know a little more about the names. For instance, the main character is Bo, but her given name is actually Ysabeau. Her mom, Aoife. I always head Eva, but it's actually the original Irish form (I'm pretty sure. Correct me if I'm wrong.). I find myself loving Kenzi more and more when I hear the character's name. I also remember having the same reaction when Dr. Torres' name was revealed on Grey's Anatome (Calliope Iphegenia). There's another character named Evony. For the guys, there's Dyson and Hale, as well as Fitzpatrick who's called Trick. Anyone else find out a characters given name and be pleasantly surprised?

LOVE lost girl! And yes, never really thought about Kenzi until I heard it on the show. People always tell me it sounds ultra-girly (people who don't know the show) but to me it will forever sound BAD ASS! Hale is pretty sweet too - I like it.
Do you think Kenzi is viable as a full name? Or can you think of anything that Kenzi could be short for that isn't McKenzie (yuck!)?
I also love Ksenia (as in Ksenia Solo). Do you think Kenzi could be short for that?

You should have heard me screaming in excitement when Bo's real name was revealed. Even my boyfriend got excited and said "hey it's the name you like!" I remember reading something interesting about the writers of Lost Girl, and their interest in names, but I don't remember what it was so perhaps I imagined it.
I think Kenzi works great as a full name. I actually know one. She's artsy, pretty and maybe a little bit eccentric though a wonderful person. She named her daughter Zipporah and calls her Zippy which is so cute it makes me happy every single time I hear it.Lσreℓei Oη∂iηe ● Octαviα єoωƴη Sσℓ ● ℘etrα Leσcα∂iα Siℓver ● Suηηivα ωiℓℓoω ● Ƭɦisbe ωiℓ∂rσse

Since psychology first grew out of biology and philosophy, advances in understanding of biology, and especially the brain, have contributed more and more to the field of psychology. For preparation for the AP psychology exam, in-depth knowledge of neurobiology won't be necessary, but any study of psychology involves the brain.
Perhaps the most basic way to think of the brain is dividing it into parts. There is more than one way to conceptualize this.
We can think of the brain as having three parts—reptilian, animal, and human. Each of these is made up of many smaller parts with specific functions.
Reptilian brain: reptiles, animals, and humans all have this, most basic, part. Predictably, it regulates the functions most basic to life.
-Brain stem—responsible for automatic functions
-Spinal cord
-Medulla—breathing and heartbeat
-Reticular formation—arousal
-Pons—sleeping and waking
-Cerebellum—movement and balance
Animal brain: reptiles don't have this, but both humans and animals do. As you review the functions of regions of the animal brain, you may notice that it explains why animals respond to more complex sets of stimuli than reptiles.
-Limbic system—responsible for mood and emotions, experience of pain and fear
-Amygdala—aggression and fear
-Hippocampus—working and short-term memory
-Hypothalamus—regulating needs, including eating, drinking, sleep, reproduction, and body temperature.
-Thalamus—relay sensory and motor signals
Human Brain: features unique to humans and primates. These areas allow more complex tasks of intellect, memory, and abstraction.
-Cerebrum—responsible for intellectual powers
-Corpus callosum—connects the two hemispheres
-Cerebral cortex—the outer layer of the human brain
The cerebral cortex is divided into four lobes. Although communication between areas is an important part of brain function, the lobes can be defined by their major functions.
-Frontal lobe: intellectual abilities, reasoning, and abstract thought.
-Parietal lobe: motor/tactile sensory processing
-Occipital lobe: visual stimuli processing
-Temporal lobe: auditory processing
Thinking about the parts of the brain within their different areas of the brain should give you an idea of the big picture of brain functions and regions. Hopefully, it will also help you remember what you need to know for the AP psychology exam, too.
Good luck on the AP Psychology exam!

Recipe of the Day
Great-Aunt Nina's Noodles and Chicken
To a slow cooker chicken, I added an old family noodle recipe. If you want it to be more like a soup, add another quart of broth. This was a fixture at family reunions when I was a child, and the slow cooker makes it even easier.

A referendum that will sink or rescue the Greek economy
- 4 July 2015
- From the section Business
Everyone in Athens is nervous about the outcome of Sunday's referendum on the creditors' proffered (and semi-retracted) bailout terms.
One group more tense than most are those running the banks - because they know more than most that the outcome is life-or-death for their institutions, and therefore for Greek prosperity.
So the latest opinion polls, showing voters split right down the middle, are the stuff of bankers' nervous breakdowns. "It is nerve-wracking," one said to me, perhaps euphemistically.
Here is the ecstasy and agony of what could happen next week.
If Greeks vote "Yes" to the deal with creditors - pension cuts, VAT rises and all - just maybe the European Central Bank (ECB), whose governing council meets on Monday morning, will lift the ceiling a fraction on the provision of Emergency Liquidity Assistance (ELA).

Greece bossed by European Central Bank
- 1 July 2015
- From the section Business
I don't believe I have ever before read a letter from a prime minister promising to liberalise the market for gyms - and certainly I have never done so in a letter that is life or death for an economy.
But Alexis Tsipras's latest missive to Jean Claude Juncker, Mario Draghi and Christine Lagarde, to secure financial succour from Greece's creditors, makes that pledge - along with promises to liberalise assorted legal jobs and drinks, petroleum and food markets.
Existential threat to euro from Greek exit
- 29 June 2015
- From the section Business
So whether the Greek government likes it or not, and apparently it doesn't, the President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker has said that Sunday's referendum is a vote on whether Greece will stay in the euro.
By implication it is also a vote on whether there is any chance of Greek banks re-opening as normal any time soon.

Greece's bank holiday from hell
- 28 June 2015
- From the section Business
It was more or less impossible for Greek banks to open on Monday, once the European Central Bank announced it was turning off emergency lending to them.
Because in the absence of any increase in this so called Emergency Liquidity Assistance, the banks had no way to supply cash to Greek depositors who have been anxiously withdrawing their savings.
Peston: ECB to turn off emergency Greek help
- 28 June 2015
- From the section Business
The European Central Bank's governing council is expected to turn off Emergency Liquidity Assistance (ELA) for Greek banks at its meeting later today, according to well-placed sources.
So unless Greek savers miraculously decide to cease withdrawing cash from their accounts, Greek banks would find themselves in serious straits as soon as Monday - because the banks have become dependent on ELA, approved by the ECB but supplied by the Bank of Greece, to provide the cash to depositors who want their money back.

Greek debt crisis: ECB faces monumental decisions
- 27 June 2015
- From the section Business

Will it continue funding Greek banks next week, in the uncertain days before next weekend's referendum on the bailout deal demanded by the country's major creditors?

Why bankers believe Greece will do a deal with its creditors
- 26 June 2015
- From the section Business
It is going to be 24 hours from hell for Greek bankers (and of course for the Greek people).
Senior bank executives tell me they have more than enough cash in their branches to meet whatever demand for withdrawals there may be today - and in fact they believe that the rate of withdrawals by worried customers will remain at a lower level than at the beginning of the week.

Greek tragedy: End of an act, not the whole play
- 23 June 2015
- From the section Business
There is a script which seemingly all eurozone leaders are urged to learn, which is that if the currency union is in the grips of crisis, no solution can or should be found till markets and economy are on the verge of a heart attack.
So it is playing out again, as Greece has struggled to secure adequate loans from its eurozone and International Monetary Fund (IMF) creditors to avoid the disaster of failing to keep up its payments to the IMF.

Stathakis: Greece rescued
- 22 June 2015
- From the section Business
In an exclusive interview, Greece's Economy Minister Giorgos Stathakis has told me that he believes Greece's new proposals to balance the government's books have broken the deadlock with its creditors.
He said he expects eurozone government heads to issue a communique later today that will say there is now a basis for a formal agreement with Athens to complete the current bailout programme and release €7.2bn of vital funds.
Dire warning from Greek bank boss
- 22 June 2015
- From the section Business
If I had any doubts about the dire state of the Greek banking system, and why it matters so much for the Greek government to reach an agreement with creditors today to escape default, those doubts were dispelled in an interview with the chairman of Greece's fourth-biggest bank, Nikolaos Karamouzis.
Mr Karamouzis confirmed to me that the European Central Bank (ECB) has agreed to keep Greek banks alive today.

LOS ANGELES -- Marine scientists from California are venturing this week to the middle of the North Pacific for a study of plastic debris accumulating across hundreds of miles of open sea dubbed the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch."
A research vessel carrying a team of about 30 researchers, technicians and crew members embarked on Sunday on a three-week voyage from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, based at the University of California at San Diego.
The expedition will study how much debris — mostly tiny plastic fragments — is collecting in an expanse of sea known as the North Pacific Ocean Gyre, how that material is distributed and how it affects marine life.
The debris ends up concentrated by circular, clockwise ocean currents within an oblong-shaped "convergence zone" hundreds of miles across from end to end near the Hawaiian Islands, about midway between Japan and the West Coast of the United States.
The focus of the study will be on plankton, other microorganisms, small fish, and birds.
"The concern is what kind of impact those plastic bits are having on the small critters on the low end of the ocean food chain," Bob Knox, deputy director of research at Scripps, said on Monday after the ship had spent its first full day at sea.
The 170-foot vessel New Horizon is equipped with a laboratory for on-board research, but scientists also will bring back samples for further study.
Little is known about the exact size and scope of the vast debris field discovered some years ago by fishermen and others in the North Pacific that is widely referred to as the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch."
Large items readily visible from the deck of a boat are few and far between. Most of the debris consists of small plastic particles suspended at or just below the water surface, making it impossible to detect by aircraft or satellite images.
The debris zone shifts by as much as a thousand miles north and south on a seasonal basis, and drifts even farther south during periods of warmer-than-normal ocean temperatures known as El Nino, according to information from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Besides the potential harm to sea life caused by ingesting bits of plastic, the expedition team will look at whether the particles could carry other pollutants, such as pesticides, far out to sea, and whether tiny organisms attached to the debris could be transported to distant regions and thus become invasive species.
