Boy Makes A Slam Dunk With His Own Body

Sometimes some of the most amazing things are not planned. Such is the case of the boy who dunked himself during a halftime exhibition at a recent Phoenix Suns NBA game.



When we are fearless and dream big, we have a perspective like no one else. For a split second this boy had a view from above the rim. Was it risky? Was is gut wrenching? If he had time to think about it, he could have been paralyzed by fear. But he rolled with the flow, tucking his head and went through the basket - nothing but net!

What dream or vision will help get you above the fray of everyday life? What will it take for you to gain a perspective that few ever experience?

Lay fear aside. Take a new challenge. Think WOW for your life - it just may turn out to be a slam dunk!

New IBM Memory Could Revolutionize Data Access

We can often take for granted what is being researched today that may have a huge impact 5 to 20 years later. The new type of "Racetrack' memory has been researched for the last six years. This type of commitment includes the vision of "Think WOW" as well as the devotion of "Make a VOW."

Here is a description of the new memory and how it could affect our digital devices in the future -

A new kind of memory from IBM Labs is promising to revolutionize how much data we can store and how fast we can access it on our mobile and desktop devices.

After spending six years as a theoretical concept, the memory, dubbed Racetrack, finally is a huge step closer to reality. Researchers at IBM have recently confirmed that their theories of the physics behind Racetrack are valid and can be used to develop and manufacture this new type of memory.

This revolutionary type of memory could open up a whole new world for laptops, smartphones, and other mobile devices. Users would be able to store as much as 100 more times data on their portable gadgets, perhaps keeping as many as 500,000 songs or 3,500 full-length movies on one mobile device. And since Racetrack would use considerably less power, a single battery charge could power a device for weeks rather than days or hours.

The new memory is also expected to play a role in desktop computers and servers, allowing them to access more data much faster. In some ways, Racetrack combines the best elements of flash memory and magnetic storage and could prove to be the one technology to someday replace current RAM, Flash RAM, and even conventional disk drives.

T r y T o S i m p l i f y

Life comes at us like a blur. We can get caught up in the whirlwind of busyness.

We are bombarded with information and messages. Our thoughts can quickly become saturated. We can reach brain overload before lunch.

I have always been one to be to busy. I have paid the price. Often because of busyness, I have not always focused on what's important in life. I have allowed a hurried life to get me off task and to actually feed my creative procrastination at times.

Here are the the words to a song I wrote recently - "Try To Simplify"

I need to make my life simple now
I wish someone could show me how

Gotta check text messages and voice mails again
Too many emails and facebook friends

Whether it's Blackberry or a new iPhone
I stay connected at the office and home

My head is needing a break from everything
That's when I pick up my guitar and start to sing


Why oh why can't I
Find a way to simplify

I'm tired of always racing in the fast lane
This kinda of pace is driving me insane

Oh Lord please help to me slow down today
And do a little less work - and a little more play

I gonna do my best tonight to try
To take it easy and Simplify

Risk Breaking For Success In Life

RiskBreaking is more than taking risks - it's breaking down the fears, the obstacles, the challenges inherent in a risk which leads to breaking through to higher levels of success, achievement and excellence in life.

The definition of a risk includes the "possibility" of danger or failure. What if one-year-olds never took a risk to learn to walk. The risks are evident - they could keeping falling down, it could continue to be painful - if I keep failing it could damage my self-esteem and bruise my ego.

To many, the "possibility" of danger or failure is paralyzing. Often gripped by fear, doubt and a pessimistic attitude one can be in one of three negative risk zones - Break-in, Break-Up or Break-Down.

Break-In - Have you allowed others to break in to your life and steal your dreams. Are you playing it safe to "keep the peace" in a family, relationship or business. When we allow someone else to steal from us, it's natural to feel violated and distrusting.

Break-Up - Have you recently suffered from a break-up in a relationship personally or at work? Is there very little chemistry or connection in the teams you are a part of? Taking risks involves increased levels of vulnerability. When others break apart and shatter our creative spirit we lose our foundational base of supportive, acceptance and encouragement.

BreakDown - We are have heard of people having a "nervous breakdown". They can't handle life anymore. It's too much stress - they are overloaded with details and distractions. We can handle a few break-ins and an occasional Break-up, but if they continue to add up over time, we all have a Breaking point - that's when something inside dies, and we have a Breakdown.
