NASCAR newbie Maryeve Dufault got her start as 'Price Is Right' model, Hawaiian Tropic gal
Danica Patrick may need to check her rearview mirror. Maryeve Dufault is the latest beauty to make the jump to the NASCAR circuit. While Patrick crossed over from Indy cars to the big leagues, Dufault jumped from the ARCA circuit to race in a NASCAR Nationwide race in her home country: Canada.
“I started riding motocross at the age of four,” Dufault told FOX411.com. “My dad and brother race motorcycles, so I grew up at the racetrack. Ever since I was one or two years old, my mom took me there every weekend while my dad was racing.”
Dufault moved to California in 2000, and quickly landed a job as a model on “The Price is Right,” despite her shaky grasp of English.
“I wasn’t speaking English really well and I didn’t want Bob Barker to know that my English wasn’t very good,” says the French speaking native Quebecer. “But I had good time, it was fun and a great experience.”
HOT SHOTS: Maryeve Dufault.
And for someone with an expensive racing habit, looking good can help to pay the bills.
“Growing up, I didn’t have the wealth of my parents to support me with the best equipment,” explains Dufault. “One year I showed up to the track with a four-year-old chassis. The other guys had brand-new chassis. So, I had to find a way to make it work. When I won the Miss Hawaiian Tropic, I used the money to fund motorsports. Basically, I did modeling on the side, like an actor would work in a restaurant. But modeling pays much better money than working in a restaurant.”
Dufault may turn heads, but she’s happier when she’s racing at a breakneck speed. “When you start really young in racing, you’re not really fearful,” said Dufault of topping speeds up to 193 MPH. “Because if I was scared of speed, I wouldn’t be here today. On the freeway, everyone is driving about 100 MPH, and you don’t feel like you’re going that fast. To me, going on the racetrack is like going on the freeway–everyone goes the same speed.”
Being a woman in a male dominated-sport isn’t always easy. “Guys say bad things all the time," said Dufault. “They don’t want to see you and they don’t want to get beat by you. It’s just an ego sport. Most of the negative comments are behind my back–they don’t say it to my face. It’s more of the typical man talking, ‘Oh, women don’t belong on the race track.’ There’s women who speak out, but it’s tough. They’re just being negative when they’re all together with the guys. It’s like their own club–they don’t want to see women out there.”
Meanwhile, racing professionally against other women presents its own set of challenges. “Girls don’t talk to each other,” Dufault said of her racetrack peers. “It’s really funny. All the guys talk with each other, but not the girls. Me, I’m so confident in myself that I don’t mind the other girls. But some girls get catty. When there’s two or three other girls on the racetrack, it’s a really funny feeling. The girls will just look at you. I’m like, ‘Wow. Okay.’”
But Dufault will be happy to go up against NASCAR racer Patrick any day. “Danica’s nothing like that,” said Dufault. “She’s really confident–she’ll see you and smile and say ‘Hi.’ Pretty much all the other (female) drivers that I’ve encountered in the past haven’t been like her. Danica doesn’t feel threatened by another woman. She’s at high level–she has the best sponsors, the best equipment, she’s secure. She’s not trying to fight to be in the best spot–she’s already got it.”
Dufault may downshift with the best of ‘em on the track, but she’s off the clock when running errands. “When I’m not racing, I drive an automatic. I used to use a stick shift, but now when I get in my own car, I relax.”
And believe it or not, Dufault finds driving in Southern California more intimidating than competing in Daytona. “Driving in the streets of the Los Angeles is scarier than driving on the racetrack, because you have to worry about the people around more than yourself–there’s some really bad drivers out there,” she said. “On the racetrack, you know that the other drivers know they’re doing.”
While Dufault is gearing up for a race in Daytona in a couple of weeks, the recently single Maxim model is ready to mingle. “I really like athletic guys, people with a lot of energy and ambition,” she said. “Chemistry is important, too. Most of my exes have been athletes, so maybe it’s time to switch that up! Maybe I’ll try someone like Ryan Gosling. Not because he's Canadian, but yeah!"
And if Gosling and Dufault ever go on a date, he’d better take the wheel. “I’m still a lady,” said Dufault. “I like to sit in the passenger seat and enjoy the ride.”
“I started riding motocross at the age of four,” Dufault told FOX411.com. “My dad and brother race motorcycles, so I grew up at the racetrack. Ever since I was one or two years old, my mom took me there every weekend while my dad was racing.”

Canucks' Burrows and Sedins combine for 10 points
Alex Burrows and Daniel and Henrik Sedin combined for 10 points in the Vancouver Canucks' 6-2 thrashing of the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night.
Burrows scored two goals, Daniel Sedin had a goal and three assists, and twin brother Henrik added four assists. The Sedins' outburst came after both had gone three games without a point.
It was Vancouver's 10th straight win over Toronto, covering a span of more than eight years.
Manny Malhotra, Sami Salo and Kevin Bieksa also scored for the Canucks (37-15-6), who have won six of seven.
Dion Phaneuf and Nikolai Kulemin, with 19.2 seconds left in the game, had goals for the Maple Leafs (29-24-6), who have lost six of seven.
The Canucks led 2-0 after the first period in which they outshot the Maple Leafs 11-4.
Burrows opened the scoring 7:49 in on a 2-on-1 break with Daniel Sedin against Phaneuf. Burrows gave a lead pass to Sedin, who delivered a flip pass over the Toronto captain's stick and past goalie James Reimer.
Malhotra gave the Canucks a 2-0 lead 1:27 later as he dived to tip in Max Lapierre's pass from the side boards. It was Malhotra's second goal and third point in 14 games.
Burrows put the Canucks ahead 3-0 at 3:18 of the second period when he took a pass from Henrik Sedin and wristed in a shot while left alone in the slot.
But Phaneuf got Toronto within 3-1 just under three minutes later when he one-timed Phil Kessel's cross-ice pass behind Roberto Luongo.
Moments later, Luongo made a diving blocker save on Joffrey Lupul to maintain Vancouver's two-goal advantage. Luongo finished with 24 saves.
Daniel Sedin put the Canucks ahead 4-1 midway through the second period when he scored on a pass from the corner boards by Henrik.
That chased Reimer and brought Jonas Gustavsson in the net. Reimer allowed four goals on 18 shots.
Gustavsson let in the first shot he faced when Salo one-timed Daniel Sedin's shot through a screen during a power play.
Henrik Sedin earned his fourth assist of the game at 9:09 of the third period when Jannik Hansen redirected his pass to Bieksa.
NOTES: Canucks D Keith Ballard missed his fifth straight game because of a neck injury. He is also being evaluated for a possible concussion. ... Leafs D Luke Schenn returned to the lineup after being a healthy scratch Wednesday at Edmonton and assisted on Kulemin's goal. D Mike Komisarek was scratched after playing in Edmonton and Calgary. ... Injured Toronto D Carl Gunnarsson (ankle) has resumed skating on his own.

Get Out Of Debt - Why Getting Out Of Debt Is Not Impossible_44346
There is always a silver line in the dark clouds; the world indeed survives on hope. Debt has left people depressed to a state to wreck. The impact of recession on the economy is equivalent to the Great depression, leaving not much choice for people. The US government had one of the toughest times analyzing the blow, the reasons behind it, devising ways to provide relief and revive the market conditions. The federal stimulus package is a blessing amidst all this disaster and made the settlement possible.
Several debt relief network came up with settlement programs to guide people come out of the debt. Based on the network with financial institutes and debt settlement firms, and a successful track record of negotiating the debt, Debt relief solution provides advice on settlement and debt consolidation to people.
The US government federal stimulus package has helped several credit institutions as well as individuals recover the massive financial loss they suffered and the debt relief network helped people settle the debt on a waiver of 60 percent. This not only brought respite to people who otherwise would have gone bankrupt paying the whole debt together or not be able to pay the debt at all. Debt settlement gave people an opportunity to do away with the huge loan which otherwise would not have been possible for them in their lifetime.
The government provided aid is just one solution, in the long run however; a habit or a continuous practice helps people lead a comfortable and peaceful life. The mass needs to understand the significance of handling expenses judiciously, make less use of credit card and avoid multiple credit cards at a time. All this would certainly help people get out of debt and start afresh with a stress free life style.
It would be wise to not go directly to a debt settlement company but rather first visit a debt relief network. The top debt relief networks only allow debt settlement companies into their accredited organizations that prove a track record of successfully negotiating debts and have also been certified. They are free to use and offer helpful debt relief advice.

Debt Management For Governments_47211
In these uncertain economic times, governments around the world have been spending large amounts of money in order to help their citizens. Companies have been helped because of the problems, and they are some of the biggest companies in the world. The auto industry in many parts of the world, the biggest banks which serves millions of people, and insurance companies that protect and serve large amounts of people, have been helped by the large spending. While the spending has been generally a help for right now, there are some concerns that spending that much money can have for future debt management. What are some of those concerns? What can be done to reduce the problem that high debt can have in the future? How will it affect families and nations alike?
When governments have to borrow large amounts of money, it can have a large and often, negative impact on the country. If too much money is borrowed, it can cause a weakening of that nation's currency. What problem does that cause? It can cause inflation, because of the high amount of currency that is floating around in the money system. When inflation goes too high, it can cause a lot of problems for families. It can make simple things like groceries and clothes too expensive for the average family to own. In addition, it requires a family to work harder and make a lot more money in order to be able to pay the bills. In addition to inflation, it costs governments more money to borrow then it would otherwise cost. When people, other nations, and companies loan to the government, they look at the chances that they will get their money back. If they think the government can't pay the money back, they will either charge a higher interest rate or wont loan to it at all. After all, the government in the eyes of many people in the market also has a credit score. By practising good debt management, these problems won't occur, allowing both the nation and the people of the nation to be able to avoid major problems.

Debt Free Consulting - How Obama Is Providing Debt Relief For Consumers_44311
Some financial experts say that the current recession in the economy is more serious and dangerous than the depression of the 1930s. A lot of individuals and businesses took large loans and risks believing that good times would last forever. Suddenly they found themselves on the verge of financial ruin. The inability of the debtors to repay loans threatened the existence of many money lending institutions and credit card companies. If a large number of borrowers filed for bankruptcy, the creditors would lose every chance of getting their money back.
This is when the Obama government stepped in to help the financial institutions. The government gave relief to financial institutions in the form of stimulus money. This money saved the financial institutions from the danger of bankruptcy. Once the fear of bankruptcy was eliminated, they did not resort to aggressive tactics to recover money from the debtors. In fact they tried their best to help debtors to get debt negotiation and debt settlement solutions.
This was a huge relief to the common consumers who depended heavily on loans and credit cards. The financial benefit that the lending institutions and credit card companies got in the form of stimulus money was passed on to the end consumers. It became possible to get a full and final settlement on a loan by paying less than half the payable amount. Financial institutions also gave the debtors the facility of repaying the loan in easy installments. This way they could at least recover part of the money owed to them. At the same time the consumers were saved from delinquency and bankruptcy.
If you want to get out of debt and hire a debt settlement company for debt negotiation then I have an important piece of advice. Do not go directly to a particular debt settlement company but rather first go to a debt relief network who is affiliated with several legitimate debt companies. In order to be in the debt relief network, the debt settlement companies must prove a track record of successfully negotiating and eliminating debt. They must also pass an ethical standards test. Going through a debt relief network will ensure that the debt company you are provided with is a legitimate and respected company. This is the most efficient way in finding the best debt settlement companies and increasing your chances of eliminating your debt.

Credit Card Queries And Replies_40060
How long is the grace period?
The grace period is the number of days you have to pay your bill in full without triggering a finance charge. For example, the credit card company may say that you have "25 days from the statement date, provided you paid your previous balance in full by the due date." The statement date is given on the bill.
The grace period usually applies only to new purchases. Most credit cards do not give a grace period for cash advances and balance transfers. Instead, interest charges start right away.
If you carried over any part of your balance from the preceding month, you may not have a grace period for new purchases. Instead, you may be charged interest as soon as you make a purchase (in addition to being charged interest on the earlier balance you have not paid off). Look on the credit card application for information about the "method of computing the balance for purchases" to see if new purchases are included or excluded. Information on methods of computing the balance is in the section "How is the finance charge calculated?"
How is the finance charge calculated?
The finance charge is the dollar amount you pay to use credit. The amount depends in part on your outstanding balance and the APR.
Credit card companies use one of several methods to calculate the outstanding balance. The method can make a big difference in the finance charge you'll pay. Your outstanding balance may be calculated
Over one billing cycle or two,
Using the adjusted balance, the average daily balance, or the previous balance, and
Including or excluding new purchases in the balance.
Depending on the balance you carry and the timing of your purchases and payments, you'll usually have a lower finance charge with one-cycle billing and either
The average daily balance method excluding new purchases,
The adjusted balance method or the previous balance method.
What is the minimum finance charge?
Some credit cards have a minimum finance charge. You'll be charged that minimum even if the calculated amount of your finance charge is less. For example, your finance charge may be calculated to be 35?-but if the company's minimum finance charge is $1.00, you'll pay $1.00. A minimum finance charge usually applies only when you must pay a finance charge--that is, when you carry over a balance from one billing cycle to the next.
What are the fees?
Most credit cards charge fees under certain circumstances:
Annual fee (sometimes billed monthly). Charged for having the card
Cash advance fee. Charged when you use the card for a cash advance; may be a flat fee (for example, $3.00) or a percentage of the cash advance (for example, 3%)
Balance-transfer fee. Charged when you transfer a balance from another credit card (Your credit card company may send you "checks" to pay off the other card. The balance is transferred when you use one of these checks to pay the amount due on the other card.)
Late-payment fee. Charged if your payment is received after the due date
Over-the-credit-limit fee. Charged if you go over your credit limit
Credit-limit-increase fee. Charged if you ask for an increase in your credit limit
Set-up fee. Charged when a new credit card account is opened
Return-item fee. Charged if you pay your bill by check and the check is returned for non-sufficient funds (that is, your check bounces)
Other fees. Some credit card companies charge a fee if you pay by telephone (that is, if you arrange by phone for payment to be transferred from your bank to the company) or to cover the costs of reporting to credit bureaus, reviewing your account, or providing other customer services. Read the information in your credit card agreement to see if there are other fees and charges.
What are the cash advance features?
Some credit cards let you borrow cash in addition to making purchases on credit. Most credit card companies treat these cash advances and your purchases differently. If you plan to use your card for cash advances, look for information about
Access. Most credit cards let you use an ATM to get a cash advance. Or the credit card company may send you "checks" that you can write to get the cash advance.
APR. The APR for cash advances may be higher than the APR for purchases.
Fees. The credit card company may charge a fee in addition to the interest you will pay on the amount advanced.
Limits. Some credit cards limit cash advances to a dollar amount (for example, $200 per cash advance or $500 per week) or a portion of your credit limit (for example, 75% of your available credit limit).
How payments are credited. Many credit card companies apply your payments to purchases first and then to cash advances. Read your credit card agreement to learn how your payments will be credited.
How much is the credit limit?
The credit limit is the maximum total amount--for purchases, cash advances, balance transfers, fees, and finance charges--you may charge on your credit card. If you go over this limit, you may have to pay an "over-the-credit-limit fee."
What kind of card is it?
Most credit card companies offer several kinds of cards:
Secured cards, which require a security deposit. The larger the security deposit, the higher the credit limit. Secured cards are usually offered to people who have limited credit records--people who are just starting out or who have had trouble with credit in the past.
Regular cards, which do not require a security deposit and have just a few features. Most regular cards have higher credit limits than secured cards but lower credit limits than premium cards.
Premium cards (gold, platinum, titanium), which offer higher credit limits and usually have extra features--for example, product warranties, travel insurance, or emergency services.
Does the card offer incentives and other features?
Many credit card companies offer incentives to use the card and other special features:
Rebates (money back) on the purchases you make
Frequent flier miles or phone-call minutes
Additional warranty coverage for the items you purchase
Car rental insurance
Travel accident insurance or travel-related discounts
Credit card registration, to help if your wallet or purse is lost or stolen and you need to report that all your credit cards are missing
Credit cards may also offer, for a price,
Insurance to cover the payments on your credit card balance if you become unemployed or disabled, or die. Premiums are usually due monthly, making it easy to cancel if the payments are higher than you want to pay or you decide you don't need the insurance any longer.
Insurance to cover the first $50 of charges if your card is lost or stolen. Under federal law, you are not responsible for charges over $50.
Before you sign up to pay for any of these features, think carefully about whether it will be useful for you. Don't pay for something you don't want or don't need.

Credit Card Internet Security - Why Obscurity Is Not Enough_48713
The relationship between stress and credit card debt is a very close and, unfortunately, widespread one. A Public Interest Research Group and Consumer Federation of America analysis of accurate Federal Reserve reveals some astounding figures: the average household has debt ranging between $10,000 to $12,000 and the average number of credit cards is nine. Such statistics are representative for several other countries, besides the US, such as the UK, Canada or Australia. The convenience of using credit cards is the same everywhere, and the psychology of the human society is relatively identical. We all want to own more than we can afford and, at the moment we reach a certain social status or level, we aim for the next and so on. This "race" also has its victims - and they are numerous. Credit card debt is a very frequent problem and many therapists and medical staff have to attribute severe cases of depression, stress and anxiety to debt related triggers.
The crisis that develops stress
One of the most important human values is that of equilibrium, stability. Combined with the desire to feel protected and safe, the need for stability dominates our lives in adulthood. Being in debt is a strong negative factor that disrupts the balance we desire. Not only do we have to give back a lot of money, we are also in the danger of loosing what we already own. People going through prolonged periods of being in debt start developing different aspects that ultimately lead to serious medical conditions.
Depression is one of the most frequent problems related to credit card debt, combined with a feeling of being incapacitated to solve the problem. The crisis that triggers the life ruining stress may often develop throughout time, taking baby steps and creeping up on you. By the time you realize how big the problem is, there are relatively few solutions that you can take. The crisis may occur because of poor financial planning, living a life style that is beyond your financial possibilities or simply because of an emergency that drained all of your financial resources.
Tips on avoiding stress and preventing credit card debt
The difficulty of stopping a certain spending pattern is huge, and many people resort to extreme measures, such as cutting up their credit cards in order to freeze their spending. Paying the minimum monthly balance is also extremely tempting and many fail to realize that with each passing month their debt grows substantially due to the credit card's interest rates. Here are a few ideas that will help you diminish your credit card debt or stop it from appearing in the first place:
Stop unnecessary spending - don't consider your credit card a loan, as this will disrupt the balance of your lifestyle and you will spend well above what you can repay. Try to plan ahead and never spend above the determined monthly amount.
Plan your budget - examine your past spending habits and adjust them. The best way to eliminate credit card related stress is to be in complete control of your finances. When you know exactly how much you can spend, you will undoubtedly set some more realistic goals for your money and your spending will be more rational, rather than emotional.
Plan ahead for large investments - don't use your credit card to pay for larger investments, such as a car or home improvements. Also keep in mind, when taking a mortgage or car loan that your debt will increase correspondingly. It's hard to believe that you will be able to avoid credit card debt if you take out a large loan and also continue to spend money just like before the loan.
Don't pay one credit card debt with another credit card - there's not a lot more to say here, except that medium and long term solutions such as this will most likely lead to bankruptcy, as the interest rates are too high to recover.
Less is more - do you really need 9 different credit cards? Are the points and reward systems offered on some so attractive and useful? Most financial consultants recommend using one or two credit cards, as this makes perfect sense for better finance management. The more cards you have to manage, the more stress you will bring upon yourself.

Why A Phd In Criminology_36520
In successfully obtaining a PhD in Criminology, one is therefore termed as a criminologist. Although it implies that you are an expert or one who specializes in crime, that抯 not far from the truth as you learn and understand about crime through careful research.
To understand how crime is committed, firstly you have to understand human behavior. Hence, most institutions require their criminology PhD students to have prior background in psychology and sociology. Else, you are expected to take those courses in conjunction with your PhD program. Legal aspects of all forms are also required knowledge in the makings of a PhD student. With these areas to complement what you learn in criminology, you then have a better sense of the human behavior and the sciences behind it.
Since crime covers such a wide area, it抯 preferable to focus on certain aspects when doing your PhD in Criminology. Since human beings are the masterminds behind crimes, specific groups of people by region, location, race, culture and age can be targets of focus depending on the types of crimes. Other fields of criminology may concentrate on the prevention of crime in terms of policies, strategies and procedures. In the event a crime or two slips past the nets of law enforcement agencies, investigation into those crimes become another area for study. By understanding human behavior, this area can then practice criminal profiling to assess and ascertain those who have higher tendencies to commit said crime. Since time is always of the essence in every investigation, it is to everyone抯 benefit to have proper techniques in place and well implemented. Results can then be gathered before the lead runs cold.
Some fields of criminology train PhD students for career opportunities in correctional facilities. By implementing correct procedures in place, the objectives are to ensure a well-run facility. A successful orientation program is crucial to ensure inmates who have served their time are properly released into society without returning to old habits.
As law enforcement policies differ according to state, nation and region, it抯 preferable to seek a PhD program from an institution which is recognized by your local law enforcement agencies.

Enlightenment is like the moon reflected on the water.

Although its light is wide and great,
The moon is reflected even in a puddle an inch wide.
The whole moon and the entire sky
Are reflected in one dewdrop on the grass.

When facing a single tree, if you look at a single one of its red leaves, you will not see all the others.
When the eye is not set on one leaf, and you face the tree with nothing at all in mind,
any number of leaves are visible to the eye without limit.
But if a single leaf holds the eye, it will be as if the remaining leaves were not there.

Online Bachelor Degrees Are The New Educational Standard!_34417
About 10 years ago a new wave of information was about to hit the world, and it would be called the World Wide Web, which would prove to change the educational world forever. After just a few months of the internet forming, educational institutions started to offer courses via the internet. As technology matured, so did the educational course offerings. After just a few short years the internet has become the place for online degrees. First it was the online associate's degree, and now it has become the online bachelor degree that has taken over as the online educational standard for those wanting to take college level courses online.
Many people had believed that earning an online bachelor degree was something that would never happen. The skeptics would say that the quality of the education, or the coveted campus experience would evaporate with online bachelor degree programs in place. This however did not turn out to be true. In fact there are many ways that the online colleges have exceeded expectations when it comes to quality. The online programs have continued to be a powerful and popular degree to earn.
Educational institutions are constantly seeking new sources of revenue to maintain what is often a very expensive educational cycle, and the online bachelor degree provides just the right financial boost these institutions so desperately need. The online bachelor degree allows universities to obtain more qualified students, for less cost than the school would pay for the same student to attend classes on campus. The program provides a unique source of revenue for the schools to take advantage, through a high rate of interest, and a low overhead cost associated with developing, and implementing the courses.
Most online bachelor degree programs are based around a self paced structure that allows the student to shoulder most of the burden of gaining an education, which in turn allows the school to profit from a program in ways never before seen. Online degree programs currently are in high demand, and thus the numbers of enrolled students goes up. Along with this the students are given a simple piece of software, typically on the internet that they use to access the class. Besides paying the instructor, whom acts more as a moderator in this format than an instructor, there are little other costs for an institution when it comes to the online bachelor degree. It is a very attractive circumstance for all that are involved.
With the overwhelming interest in online bachelor degree programs across the nation there is surely a feeling of growth when it comes to online courses, and the schools associated with them. There is simply too much profit to cut them, especially in an educational world where budget cuts seem to never end, and the cost of good faculty is consistently on the rise. For all of the above reasons it is the online bachelor degree that should guide the best schools financially into the next decade of online instruction. With the large amount of computer literate high school students, it is no wonder that many online bachelor degree programs are gearing up for their highest enrollment yet.
