"I am very excited to report that we had an excellent quarter following
an outstanding Q1. Our Home Robot business delivered strong results both
domestically and overseas, and the outlook continues to be good. We
announced our second remote presence market initiative, Enterprise
Telepresence, in partnership with Cisco, and our Defense & Security
business performed as expected," said Colin Angle, chairman and chief
executive officer of iRobot.
"Based on our view of the rest of the year, our expectations for revenue
and Adjusted EBITDA remain unchanged, but we are increasing the low end
of our EPS range due to a one-time tax benefit received in Q2. We expect
to deliver fiscal 2013 revenue of $485 to $495 million, EPS between
$0.88 and $1.00 and Adjusted EBITDA of $55 to $61 million. Our strong
second-quarter results, driven by our Home Robot business, give us
confidence that we will achieve our full-year expectations."

For iRobot Investors
Certain statements made in this press release that are not based on
historical information are forward-looking statements which are made
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This press release contains express or
implied forward-looking statements relating to, among other things,
iRobot Corp.'s expectations regarding future financial performance,
operating performance and growth, demand for our robots, anticipated
growth and performance of our Home Robots business, anticipated
performance of our Defense & Security business, anticipated revenue,
earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2013 and the
third quarter ending September 28, 2013, and anticipated business unit
revenue for the fiscal year 2013. These statements are neither promises
nor guarantees, but are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties,
many of which are beyond our control, which could cause actual results
to differ materially from those contemplated in these forward-looking
statements. In particular, the risks and uncertainties include, among
other things: our ability to operate in an emerging market, the
financial strength of our customers and retailers, general economic
conditions, market acceptance of our products, our dependence on the
U.S. federal government and government contracts, the timing of
government contracts and orders, changes in government policies or
spending priorities, and competition. Existing and prospective investors
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. iRobot Corp.
undertakes no obligation to update or revise the information contained
in this press release, whether as a result of new information, future
events or circumstances or otherwise. For additional disclosure
regarding these and other risks faced by iRobot Corp., see the
disclosure contained in our public filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
This press release includes Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP
financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. We define Adjusted
EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization, merger and acquisition expenses, net intellectual property
litigation expenses, restructuring expenses, and non-cash stock
compensation. A reconciliation between net income (loss) and Adjusted
EBITDA is provided in the financial tables at the end of this press
In evaluating its business, iRobot considers and uses Adjusted EBITDA as
a supplemental measure of its operating performance. The Company defines
Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization, merger and acquisition expenses, net intellectual property
litigation expenses, restructuring expenses and non-cash stock
compensation. The Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA because it
believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and
other interested parties as a measure of financial performance.
The term Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and is not a measure of operating
income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with
U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and
when assessing the Company's operating performance, investors should not
consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for net income
(loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. Among other things, Adjusted EBITDA does not
reflect the Company's actual cash expenditures. Other companies may
calculate similar measures differently than iRobot, limiting their
usefulness as comparative tools. iRobot compensates for these
limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using Adjusted
EBITDA only supplementally.

'Fast Money' Recap: Halting the Slide
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The markets were able halt their three-day losing streak, finishing in positive territory on Thursday.
On CNBC's "Fast Money" TV show, Karen Finerman said she is not as bullish about the back-to-school season as she once was. She is still a buyer of Macy's (M) and Foot Locker (FL), but wants to avoid teen retailers.
She added that J.C. Penney (JCP) could continue to lose market share, but thinks that the lion's share is already gone,
Dan Nathan said the Consumer Discretionary SPDR ETF (XLY) is only 1% from its all-time highs, showing that investors continue betting on the sector despite disappointments from individual stocks.Guy Adami said it might be time to take profits in Michael Kors (KORS) and that MasterCard (MA) and Visa (V) were the best ways to play retail. Brian Kelly said to stay away from Monster Beverage Co. (MNST) because of legal headline risks, but longs already in the name should wait to see if it will bounce off the 50-day moving average. Carter Braxton Worth, chief market technician at Oppenheimer & Co., said the defense sector has gotten too ahead of itself. He added that the group is 17% above the 150-day moving average and believes it will underperform going forward. Adami argued the call, saying Lockheed Martin (LMT) not only beat on its last earnings report, but raised guidance significantly. He said not to fight the tape on this one. Tesla Motors (TSLA), which beat top- and bottom-line earnings estimates, was the first stock on the show's "Today's Trending Trades" segment. The stock is up over 360% for the year to date. Nathan said it's getting hard to justify the price. Although he didn't advise shorting it, he didn't recommend going long either. Groupon (GRPN) was up 22% on Thursday after reporting earnings. Adami said there could be a bit more upside. Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) popped higher due to positive Chinese data. Kelly said that he is worried about the validity of the data and suggested taking profits. Nathan said that he would not initiate a position in Priceline.com (PCLN) after it beat on earnings. International Business Machine (IBM) was the featured stock on the show's "Street Fight" segment. Finerman took the bull side and said the stock is not only cheap compared to the S&P 500 and tech sector, but is on its own historical price/earnings valuation, too. She added that Europe is getting better and the company's backlog is strong.

The nightmare at sea -- the Carnival cruise ship that has been stranded for 5 days with no running water and no working toilets – is almost over.
Thousands of passengers are desperate to be back home. The ship is now docked in Mobile, Alabama.
But we say almost over -- because even though it is docked it will still be several more hours before all passengers will be off the ship.
And then it may be another day before everyone is transported home.
Hevin Knappenberger lives here in the valley. She's on the Triumph for a girl's getaway -- but it's the getaway that she now wants to get away from. We talked to her today by phone about the cruise from hell, and while it's bad, she says it's not all bad.
"I've been in denial for the last few days. I've had moments when I was really sad, depressed, but then I snapped out of it."
"You see people in the hallways dragging their mattresses. I guess level 1 and 2 have had it really bad. Really bad. Cause there's no… we have no electricity."
Hevin and others finally found some electricity to charge phones. She told me her room has a balcony and that has been a godsend. She can get sunlight and fresh air, but hundreds of other passengers on the lower floors have no electricity, and as you see in this picture, they are sleeping anywhere they can.
"They're sleeping in the hallways. They're taking out their mattresses. It's been hot then really cold… All the bathrooms were out at one point… they handed out bags or to go in the shower... one or two in the red bags. And then put the red bag out in the hallway, but they were coming around and taking those bags," says Hevin.
"It did smell in certain hallways. They did have some floods here and there."
As bad as it sounds, Hevin has some positive things to say about Carnival Cruiseline.
"The crew on this ship has been amazing. So they have been working so hard nonstop. I heard that some of the crew members are not even eating," she says.
"The crew took action right away and they're doing the best they can. And I give them kudos for that. As I'm talking to you they're setting up music right now. They're playing music. They've had entertainment almost every day. Different activities, they've had bingo, they've had movies."
Would this stop her from going on another cruise?
"No. It would not. It's not like it's going to happen every ship."
She hopes to be on a flight back to the valley Friday morning.
Michael Whyte, a valley DJ, is also on the ship. And he says while the conditions are far from ideal, he and his wife are making the best of it.
"We have to go down to like the 6th level to use a flushing toilet. The crew been great, they have stepped up, they feed us and everything but it's been a nightmare. No electricity… The people on the lower deck, they come upstairs and sleep in the hallway and stuff like that. Everybody has their own story, but for me personally it was okay. It was stressful being out here for 3 days and we're still on the ship… Get a hot shower and a steak, I want a steak too, we ate enough sandwiches. 5 days!"

Welcome to Lee Labs at OHSU
"Genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration. Accordingly, a 'genius' is often merely a talented person who has done all of his or her homework" Thomas Edison
Welcome to Lee Labs at OHSU
"Genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration. Accordingly, a 'genius' is often merely a talented person who has done all of his or her homework" Thomas Edison
The CNS consists of myriads of cell-types with diverse morphology and functionality. These anatomical, cellular and molecular complexities present a challenge for mechanistic studies of CNS development. One of the most fundamental questions in neuroscience is how an amazing number of neural cell-types are produced at specific time and space, acquire their specialized connections and functions, and form neural circuits.
Our long-term research goal is to understand processes governing generation of diverse neural cell-types and formation of neural circuits and how disruption of these processes lead to various CNS developmental disorders. Our lab has been unraveling the important molecular and cellular mechanisms to generate cellular diversity in developing CNS. Using integrated experimental tools, we have made pivotal contributions to the understanding of gene regulatory networks underlying cell-fate specification and maturation in the developing spinal cord and forebrain. More recently, we have also started to dissect the gene regulatory network for cell-fate specification and postnatal metabolic function of two critical neurons in feeding circuitry, arcuate AgRP- and POMC-neurons.
Our lab purified the first mammalian transcriptional coactivator complex that methylates histone H3-lysine 4 (H3K4). This complex contains either MLL3, a H3K4-methyltransferase, or its paralogue MLL4. We have discovered that MLL3/4 complexes selectively target genes involved in diverse metabolic processes, such as adipogenesis and glucose/lipid homeostasis. Our recent effort has been directed at characterizing roles of MLL3/4 complexes in bile acid homeostasis. MLL3/4 complexes also function as major tumor suppressors, and MLL3 and MLL4 have been shown to be mutated in diverse human cancers. Our MLL3 mutant mice develop kidney and intestinal tumors. The major hypothesis that we are currently investigating is: MLL3/4 complexes play important roles in the interface of tumor suppression and metabolism.
The FoxG1 gene encodes a transcription factor that plays critical roles in forebrain development. Mutations or duplication of this gene result in 'FoxG1 syndrome', also known as 'congenital Rett-like syndrome'. We have recently initiated a major effort to understand the molecular basis of this syndrome in a hope to find treatment for this devastating neurodevelopmental disorder.

4. Tools and Utilities
Many tools are available to help monitor and troubleshoot Active Directory
installations. Some of these tools are included as part of the Support Tools
package which is available from the 2003 Server CD, or can be downloaded from
(2003 SP2 version). The Support Tools are particularly useful and are worth
installing as standard. On Windows 2008 separate Support Tools are no longer
available; many have been incorporated into the standard 2008 installation
(search for
Command Reference Overview in the
Help and
Support system to find out which as some tools haven't been
This list is intended as a starting point to provide brief details of tools that between them will provide a reasonable view of the health of Active Directory (plus a couple of utilities for managing accounts.) It is not intended as a definitive list as there are many other useful tools available.
- ntdsutil
- Use for command-line maintenance of your Active Directory database. Installed by default on domain controllers and menu driven. Although many of its functions are also available via the GUI, it's worth becoming familiar with this tool as sometimes nothing else will do. For example, it's needed for cleaning up if a domain controller isn't demoted cleanly.
- dcdiag.exe
- Command-line tool to perform various domain controller tests to help confirm health and diagnose problems. Part of the Support Tools suite (2000/2003) or included by default in Windows 2008.
- netdiag.exe
- For network-related tests and troubleshooting. Part of the Support Tools suite (2000/2003) or included by default in Windows 2008.
- repadmin.exe and replmon.exe
- Command-line tool to monitor and troubleshoot replication issues (repadmin.exe) and a GUI version that provides much of the same functionality (replmon.exe). Part of the Support Tools suite (2000/2003) or included by default in Windows 2008 (replmon is no longer provided).
- ntfrsutl.exe
- Accesses information on the ntfrs service including subscription information etc. Part of the Support Tools suite (2000/2003) or included by default in Windows 2008.
- Sonar
- A graphical tool to monitor the status of the File Replication Service. Look for it on the Microsoft Download Center.
- ADSI Edit
- Low level editor for Active Directory. Installed as part of the Support Tools for Windows Server 2000 and 2003, and installed by default when you install Active Directory on Windows Server 2008.
- Group Policy Management Console (GPMC)
- It's been around for a while but you need to download it separately on 2003 (it's included in 2008). An improvement on the built-in group policy editor, you need at least 2003 server or XP SP1 to run it. Download it from Microsoft.
- dsadd, dsget, dsmod, dsmove, dsquery, dsrm
- Built-in command-line tools included with 2003 and 2008, use /? after the command for syntax.
- csvde, ldifde
- Built-in command-line tools included with 2000 and above, csvde is particularly useful for dumping the contents of Active Directory into a csv file, or creating new objects from a similar file. Again, use /? after the command for help.
- ADModify
- Created to make it easier to do bulk operations on Active Directory objects, such as modifications, imports and exports. Requires .NET framework installed (version 2 probably). It's currently travelling the internet so download from http://ADModify.NET and check the Microsoft Exchange Team Blog for an introduction.
- redirusr.exe and redircmp.exe
- Built-in command-line tools included with Windows 2003 and above. Change the default containers for new user and computer objects respectively.
- Account lockout and Management Tools
- Microsoft have provided a number of tools in their Account lockout and Management Tools package, to help in these areas, along with a script to turn on Kerberos logging. They also provide some information on the Account Management Tools.

Bathroom medicine cabinets are primarily created to serve a specific function - as a storage of medicines, first aid kits and other personal effects. Having a medicine cabinet in your bathroom is very convenient. Store essential prescriptions and toiletries in one place - right where you can easily reach it.
However, bathroom medicine cabinets are notorious for being dead plain and clinically white. If you are tired of that old medicine cabinet, then it's time to get a new one, and this time, make it classy and elegant, complementing your bathroom vanities and interior design.

New Hampshire Department of Corrections, et al.
Plaintiff has filed a hard-boiled egg as part of his preliminary injunction request.
No fan I am
Of the egg at hand.
Just like no ham (ed. Did the Judge say "SPAM"?)
On the kosher plan.
This egg will rot
I kid you not.
And stink it can
This egg at hand.
There will be no eggs at court
To prove a clog in your aort.
There will be no eggs accepted.
Objections all will be rejected.
From this day forth
This court will ban
hard-boiled eggs of any brand.
And if you should not understand
The meaning of the ban at hand
Then you should contact either Dan,
the Deputy Clerk, or my clerk Jan.
I do not like eggs in the file.
I do not like them in any style.
I will not take them fried or boiled.
I will not take them poached or broiled.
I will not take them soft or scrambled
Despite an argument well-rambled.
No fan I am
Of the egg at hand.
Destroy that egg!
Today! Today!
Today I say! Without delay!
SO ORDERED (with apologies to Dr. Seuss).

ladycaviar: His publisher bet him he couldn't write a book using just 50 vocabulary words.
Seuss won.
I learned that at a museum exhibit of all things Seuss in Memphis. Weird what you retain, but I have a crush on Dr. Seuss approaching that of my crush on Perry Mason*, or Michael Palin. If I were really cool, I would have remembered what the hell the name of his publisher buddy was. It's been at the tip of my brain all night. Gonna get grit all over the pillow.
*[Someone once asked me if it bothered me to have found out that Raymond Burr was gay, and did it affect my crush on Perry Mason. "No more so than the fact that he's DEAD," I said.]

Yes, I did just throw a 90's-esque "not" into the title of this blog. And yes, it was completely necessary because the three days I spent in the coastal plain region of Barcelona were absolutely beautiful; people, sights, culture, and cuisine included. While, in my opinion, three days is simply not enough to take in all the beauty that is Barcelona, I will try to list my top 5 in Barca if you find yourself pressed for time.
1. GAUDI. Are you surprised? In all honesty you cannot walk around Barcelona without catching sight of at least one of Gaudi's beautiful buildings, but why wouldn't you want to? His innovative style is enough to make you feel like you are living in a fantasy world. I would go so far to say that I felt the same in Sagrada Familia when 21 as I did in Disney World when 6.
2. PAELLA. And you are hearing this from a vegetarian! Though, the classic seafood paella consists of shrimp with their eyes budding out at you which is quite a treat. Whether it is meatless, drenched in lemon, or a combination of meat, seafood, vegetables and beans, you are definitely rewarding your taste-buds with this dish. I won't judge--order a whole pan for yourself.
3. PICASSO MUSEUM. I probably sound like a scratched CD (do you like my new-age metaphor?) talking about art all the time but I can guarantee a good time for all in the Picasso Museum. Not only is seeing his work displayed in five adjoining medevil palaces an experience in itself, but the museum is laid out in a fashion that allows you to watch his art evolve. We all know about the amazing contributions he made to cubism, but don't lie and tell me that style hasn't made you wonder if you could give a piece of paper to the five year old you babysit and get something similar. No offense P! You are a saint. And I now have an immense amount of respect for the styles that brought you to your final masterpieces.
4. NIGHTLIFE. Now I am not one who insists on getting belligerent in each country you set foot in, nor am I suggesting that for Barcelona but the nightlife is definitely something to at least experience. The main spot I would suggest is along the boardwalk simply because you can sip on your magarita right next to the beach while listening to 80's American Pop (which is pretty big in Europe right now by the way).
5. WALK DOWN LA RAMBLA. Or just walk in general. At the end of La Rambla is an enormous monument of Christopher Colombus himself (fun fact: he is facing America. How cute). If you are lucky enough to get weather like I did, walk as much as you can. The metro is easy and convenient, but there is nothing quite like the energy flowing through this city. I would even suggest sitting in Placa de Catalunya for a good hour as you soak in the sun and simultaneously freak out/become mezmerized by the amount of pigeons doing the same thing.

With Windows 7's launch looming, a company executive yesterday denigrated its predecessor, calling Vista a "less good product."
The comment won't surprise many analysts and users, who have condemned the 2007 operating system as bloated, slow, and balky, but it's the furthest any high-level Microsoft executive has gone in criticizing Vista.
[ Get InfoWorld's 21-page hands-on look at the next version of Windows, plus deployment tips on security, Windows Server 2008 integration, and Windows XP migration, all from InfoWorld's editors and contributors. | Read the Test Center review of Windows 7 RTM. ]
"What people underestimate is the importance of good or bad products," said Charles Songhurst, Microsoft's general manager of corporate strategy, at a investor's conference on Tuesday. "And sometimes your products are good, sometimes the products are bad. And I think Vista was a less good product for Microsoft."
Windows 7, on the other hand, is much better than good, Songhurst argued. "Windows 7 is an extremely good product from Microsoft. It's been brilliantly developed, and I think people probably underestimate the effects of the bad products and the good products."
In the past, Microsoft's top managers have limited their public criticism of Vista to oblique comparisons with the new Windows 7. Last October, for example, CEO Steve Ballmer called Windows 7 ""Windows Vista, a lot better."
A month later, others, including Stephen Sinofsky, who heads Windows development, acknowledged mistakes had been made with Vista, but swore that they would not be repeated with Windows 7.
Company executives' private opinions of Vista were much more revealing, however. According to internal Microsoft e-mails disclosed in 2008 during a class-action lawsuit, senior executives and a board member griped about Vista shortly after it was released in early 2007, saying it was missing drivers and crippled their new PCs.
For the most part, Windows 7's reception by analysts, users, and reviewers has been positive, with Computerworld's Preston Gralla representative of the consensus. "If you're a Vista user, you'll do well to upgrade to Windows 7; it's a superior operating system," Gralla said in his review of the final code.
At the Webcast conference, sponsored by the Jeffries investment and banking group, Songhurst also dismissed the idea that Apple and Google, with their Mac OS and Chrome OS, respectively, pose a threat to Microsoft's dominance in the operating system market.
"Apple has two very big structure advantages over us," Songhurst acknowledged. "The first is its vertical integration ... there's always the quality of experience you can do if you go vertical that you can never do as a horizontal player."

Has/Is Religion really a hinderance to science? What are the consequences?
Personally, I believe religion has always been a hinderance because religion always have been very unreasonable and thereby impossible to discuss things with, because everything was already settled.
Through time the church has hunted down scientists and people who believed in Darwin or back when they believed the Earth was flat and some said round.
What do you think the world would look like if religion hadn't existed?
Do you think religion is a result of primitivity?
That the human brain finds peace within rules and discipline -- that the only reason religion exist is due to these primitive needs to find irrelevant meaning?
Do you think religion today still is a hinderance to science?
Personally I believe that overall, there are more negative outcomes of religion than positive. I'd love to be proven wrong. Can you do that? (And the answer HAS to be open to discussion. NO MORE Religious "It's like that because I say so, and I won't believe otherwise and shut my ears to anything that contradicts me and the belief system I have chosen.")

Roy Bourque 30+Feb 11 2013: Religious fundamentalism is a hinderance to science. And much of organized religion is based on fundamentalism. Religion united people. It was instituted by enlightened souls who became aware of Christ (or cosmic) consciousness, and perverted by those who saw it as a means to control the masses.
In the ancient world, there were two ways to looking at religion. The exoteric version was the simpleton's view of religion, where fundamentalism takes its cue. The esoteric version was the elite pathway that led to a much deeper meaning in religion. Eastern philosophy, ancient geometry, esoteric mythology, mysticism, gnosis and Christ Consciousness were all part of advanced schools of thought. This knowledge still exists but is known to only a few. I have a website in which I have listed other websites that cover some of this;
In the last century, some words have changed meaning. Theology is one of the them. The definition in the 1904 dictionary says that theology has two branches, natural and revealed. Natural theology is the knowledge we have of God from his works, by the light of nature and reason (this is where science fits in). Revealed theology is that which is to be learned only from revelation (or Christ consciousness as it is known by enlightened souls). The modern definition contains no reference to nature. And any reference to revelation reverts back to doctrine.
There seems to be a conspiracy in modern religions to keep you uninformed because they run it like a business. If you don't need them, then their business fails is the basis of their philosophy. So they intentionally keep you in the dark so you will need them, which is their game plan.
To reject religious fundamentalism is a step in the right direction. To reject religion altogether without ever understanding the esoteric versions of it is to throw away a gift you never knew you had.

A person's early days in recovery might be compared to a climber's first steps up a great mountain. There's a lot of work ahead. As time passes, healing occurs not only for the person in recovery but also for relatives, coworkers, business associates, and the community at large.
At its core, the philosophy of recovery embraces and encourages an individual's capacity for change and personal transformation. But that change does not happen overnight. Challenges can and often do crop up every step of the way.
As part of its mission, SAMHSA supports the concept of recovery on multiple levels Agency-wide. The Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), and the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) offer specific services and support to individuals and community organizations through discretionary grant programs, Web sites, policy resources, publications, data, and more.
This issue of SAMHSA News highlights CSAT's recovery-related programs and recent white papers on research, case studies, and lessons learned. Future issues will focus on activities related to prevention and mental health.
Programmatic support for recovery takes many forms at CSAT—clinical services, peer-to-peer support, outreach materials and Recovery Month activities, and vouchers for faith-based treatment and recovery services. At the heart of each program is the nonjudgmental, holistic, overarching concept of recovery as a means to improve quality of life for individuals struggling with substance abuse and the disease of addiction.
"We've come to understand that recovery is a process, different for each person," said H. Westley Clark, M.D., J.D., M.P.H., CSAT Director. "Seeking help for a substance abuse problem is just the beginning of the recovery process."
Person-centered and community-oriented, recovery "exists on a continuum of improved health and wellness," according to the Guiding Principles of Recovery, which were developed at the National Summit on Recovery in 2005.
With those principles in mind, CSAT's goal is to support individuals as they make every effort to transform their lives.
"Focusing on recovery gives us a way to conceptualize services that meet people's holistic needs in the context of their community," said Dr. Clark. "Whatever path individuals choose to take for their recovery, they typically need an array of services, such as access to treatment, peer support, housing, jobs, and education. CSAT programs have a lot to offer."
CSAT currently funds five major recovery-related programs, including the Recovery Community Services Program, Targeted Capacity Expansion/Local Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care, Access to Recovery, Partners for Recovery, and National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month.
In addition, CSAT runs a national helpline for treatment information and referrals for substance use disorders. That number is 1-800-662-HELP (1-800-662-4357).
"Programs that support recovery are at the heart of what we do here at CSAT," said Catherine D. Nugent, LCPC, Chief of the Quality Improvement and Workforce Development Branch, Division of Services Improvement. "Each of these programs serves a specific area of need."
"We are strictly a peer-to-peer support program for community-based organizations," said Marsha Baker, M.S., CSAT's Project Officer for RCSP. "Our goal is to help prevent relapse and provide social supports to help maintain and sustain recovery for those who are out of treatment and also for those who have not been to treatment but are in recovery."
For example, one of the 15 current grantees is "Community Bridges" and its peer support recovery services in Phoenix, AZ, and other parts of Maricopa County. Working in homeless and crisis centers as well as on the street, peer specialists help people who need access to services. Other RCSP grantee projects offer support to family members of people needing, seeking, or in recovery.
A 3-year, competitive discretionary grant program, ATR provides vouchers to clients for purchase of substance abuse clinical treatment and recovery support services. "Goals are to support client choice, expand service capacity, and increase faith- and community-based providers," said Roula Sweis, M.A., Psy.D., CSAT's ATR Team Leader. Currently 19 states and 5 tribal entities receive ATR funding. See SAMHSA News online, November/December 2007 for a feature story on ATR.
Partners for Recovery (PFR) is a policy-generating program that offers technical support and information to the field. Four white papers, which include recovery-related research, case studies, and extensive bibliographies, are posted on the PFR Web site.
Consumer-driven, PFR posts technical resources on the PFR Web site and serves as the "home base" for Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care (ROSC) information. Currently, PFR is developing a management and human resources toolkit designed to support employee wellness, including the dangers of substance abuse relapse.
In addition, a new publication from PFR will assist states and communities in advancing recovery-oriented systems change. A brochure is also in development on the rights of persons in medication-assisted treatment. The brochure is intended to help reduce the stigma surrounding seeking treatment for opioid addiction.
"We have a diverse portfolio of grantees," said Linda Kaplan, M.S., LROSC's Project Officer at CSAT. The program supports person-centered and self-directed approaches for substance abuse treatment and recovery services in communities with serious drug problems.
"There's a recovery community center in the Bronx, services for women and families, adolescent programs, a screening program for college freshmen to lower dropout rates, services for individuals who are homeless, and more. Each grantee serves a particular population and provides support for local organizations," Ms. Kaplan said.
What these grantee programs have in common is a focus on identifying gaps in substance abuse treatment capacity in their communities. The purpose is to expand the community's ability to provide integrated community-based responses to a targeted, well-documented problem and improve the quality and intensity of services.
"Our program does have a clinical element," Ms. Kaplan said. "In addition to expanding treatment services, grantees look for and find opportunities for links to primary care, mental health services, and housing."
Now celebrating its 20th year, Recovery Month promotes the message that recovery from substance abuse in all its forms is possible.
A set of guidelines for use of effective medications, such as naltrexone.
Substance abuse treatment programs: Here's a way to integrate evidence-based practices into their services.

20th anniversary events across the country marked this year's celebrations, which included a march across the Brooklyn Bridge.
SAMHSA's Dr. Westley Clark, Director of the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, joined other VIPs to celebrate.
Among 12- to 17-year-olds, a significant decline was reported in past-month illicit drug use.
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Awareness Day emphasized the message, "If you're pregnant, don't drink alcohol."
An annual average of 2.6 million Hispanics age 12 or older needed alcohol use treatment in the past year.
A recent report examines the 335 identified facilities serving the American Indian and Alaska Native population in 2007.
New data focus on the need for treatment for substance use and depression among adults age 18 or older by race/ethnicity.
Of the 28.8 million adults who received mental health treatment in the past year, about 5.5 percent also received support from a self-help group.
Categories for this year's awards to 27 organizations included substance abuse prevention, treatment and recovery support services, and more.
Trauma awareness through art was the topic of a recent presentation as part of SAMHSA's Consumer Affairs Seminar Series.

7 Important Benefits Of Using A Full Service Digital Agency
Everyone is a specialist in their own field but the internet has made us all believe that we can be specialists online too, which is simply not the case. When you hire the services of a UK digital agency, you will be paying for expertise in an area of marketing quicksilver that is impossible to fully comprehend unless it is your job to do so. A London Ecommerce digital agency faces fresh challenges everyday when it comes to marketing their clients' products and services online. The internet is a world that is as big as the Pacific Ocean; in other words, it is beautiful when lapping palm-fringed shores with blindingly white sand but hides online monsters such as Great White Sharks and can turn a ripple into a mighty wave that can overwhelm the shrewdest of business people.
If you are looking to improve your online presence; i.e. thinking of ways to make your website more appealing to search engines and visitors; there are seven reasons why a London digital agency can make all the difference to the effectiveness of your online presence:
Search Engine Optimisation – SEO is not simply pumping key words into your website's body copy, these days it has to be undertaken much more subtly if you are to avoid being black listed for keyword stuffing. SEO is a science that is changing all the time and includes not just the copy within your website but other aspects of it too. Beyond your website, SEO can play a major role in the placement of articles on third party websites and within news stories and blogs on your own. How SEO is utilised within your web copy and deployed on third-party websites by your digital marketing agency can make all the difference to your free ranking.
Pay Per Click – there is no doubt that Pay Per Click is a route to attracting customers but how it is handled can radically affect the number of zeros in your bill from Google and elsewhere. PPC is definitely an area of the internet that involves a great deal of skill as bidding for keywords in order to climb high amongst the sponsored links can be frustrating and costly if key words are not selected with proper research.
Link building – much is spoken of creating links but it has to be undertaken with a serious level of intelligent design. It also requires a great many relevant links to work and is a painstaking process to undertake. Link building is definitely one of those areas that should be undertaken by experts as the extensive time it can take building the links yourself could seriously damage your business in the short-term. Linking building is not a case of simply stating that you'll have theirs if they'll have yours.
Social Media Optimisation – everyone in business is obsessed with social media and Twitter has definitely come of age. Facebook is still king but there are many other social media avenues that should be explored, which takes time and experience. Your online agency will have the skills and knowledge to exploit social media websites effectively, including big names such as YouTube and Bebo, but social media optimisation is more scientific than simply building a long list of friends on Facebook.
Email campaigns – nobody likes to receive spam and so an email campaign needs to be legal before it can begin to be effective. Your design and marketing agency can help you ensure that your database is legally acquired and that your email marketing campaigns will not get caught by spam filters. There is a real marketing skill to getting responses from a well-planned and executed email campaign. Sometimes, the more ordinary the approach the better the result; it all depends on your product and your audience.

Wheels, Offset, and How to Calculate Fitment
When fitting aftermarket, or custom wheels, you should check for any clearance issues.
Incorrect fitment or Rubbing will wear out your tires, bearings, and cause other suspension components to fail or wear prematurely.
Offset is the measurement in millimeters from the wheel centre line to the wheel mounting face.
The Offset, or "ET" (Einpress Tiefe translates to Press Depth in German),
WARNING: Incorrect offset can seriously affect vehicle performance.
|Rim Measurements
|Positive Offset
|Negative Offset
This stock 4.5" x 10" Mini Cooper S alloy wheel has a POSITIVE Offset of 35mm.
This Minilite 6" x 10" Mini Cooper S wheel has a POSITIVE Offset of 15mm.
This Super Trax 7" x 13" Mini Cooper S wheel has a POSITIVE Offset of 7mm.
This Alleycat 7" x 13" Mini Cooper S wheel has a NEGATIVE Offset of 7mm.
a wheel with NEGATIVE (-) 15mm OFFSET or ET would be shown as ET-15

Erin's Latest Pick
Published on Wednesday, January 13, 2010 - 5:43pm
When I first read I Capture the Castle several years ago, I fell in love with it from the very first paragraph, which I'll share with you here:
"I write this sitting in the kitchen sink. That is, my feet are in it; the rest of me is on the draining board, which I have padded with our dog's blanket and the tea-cosy. I can't say that I am really comfortable, and there is a depressing smell of carbolic soap, but this is the only part of the kitchen where there is any daylight left. And I have found that sitting in a place where you have never sat before can be inspiring--I wrote my best poem while sitting on the henhouse. Though even that isn't a very good poem. I've decided that my poetry is so bad that I mustn't write any more of it."
The writer is 17-year-old Casssandra Mortmain, aspiring novelist and middle child of a quirky British family living in genteel poverty in an ancient castle in the English countryside. The household whose adventures she chronicles contains her older sister Rose ("Although I am rather used to her I know she is a beauty. She is nearly twenty-one and very bitter with life."), her younger brother Thomas, her stepmother ("She is a famous artists' model who claims to have been christened Topaz--even if this is true there is no law to make a woman stick to a name like that."), family retainer Stephen Colly ("He is eighteen now, very fair and noble-looking but his expression is just a fraction daft.") and her father, a formerly famous novelist with a crippling case of writer's block.
When two American brothers inherit the title to the estate, life changes rapidly for the Mortmain family, and Cassandra is there to chronicle it all. Part romance, part comedy of manners, part bittersweet coming-of-age-story, the book is carried along by her witty, exuberant voice. You'll find this one in the general adult fiction, but teens who like Jane Austen and other historical fiction or romance will enjoy it as much as adults.

Derrick Thomas to finally be inducted into College Football HOF
New York, NY, United States (4E Sports) – Former Alabama linebacker Derrick Thomas will finally be inducted posthumously into the College Football Hall of Fame.
He headlines the 2014 class, which will include 14 players and two coaches.
Many felt that because of the dominant presence he provided at Alabama from 1985-88, Thomas should have been inducted much earlier.
Thomas was considered by many as one of the best pass rushers in college football history.
He was a unanimous All-American, SEC's Defensive Player of the Year, Butkus Award winner in 1988 after setting an NCAA record that still stands when he registered 27 sacks.
Thomas holds the school records for tackles for a loss in a game (7, vs. Texas A&M in 1988), season (39 in 1988) and career (68). He also holds the school record for blocked kicks in a career with five (four punts, one field-goal attempt).
He also set Crimson Tide career records for sacks (52).
Thomas was selected fourth overall in the 1989 NFL draft by the Kansas City Chiefs and was named to nine Pro Bowls.
He died at the age of 33 in 2000 following an automobile accident that left him paralyzed. In 2009, he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The National Football Foundation's announcement of the entire 16-man Hall of Fame class will be at 12:30 p.m. ET Thursday from Irving, Texas.

Waiting on line for over two hours, I was as excited to go see 'Friday The 13th' a week in advance, as I was skeptical of whether it would live up to the recent hype. Truth be told, I haven't been impressed with any straight up Slasher films that have come out in the past five years. The most recent, 'My Bloody Valentine', was not only a disappointment but an uneventful and painful experience akin to having a drawn out conversation about coupons with my grandmother. To add to that skepticism, was the fact that Jason Vorhees has never been scary to me.
I have a metaphor for 'Heroes', after watching two episodes of this half of the season: "Heroes' is like the significant other you fell in love with immediately but, over time you got to see their severe flaws. You ponder constantly over whether or not you should dump them, and then, right before you pull the plug, they start showing you some of the magic of the old days.
Hey Battlestar Galactica fans,
I apologize once again for this review being late. This will be the last time, I promise. I was busy at the NY Comic Con this weekend, making my rounds promoting this site and meeting some awesome people, one of which you can see in the photo I posted. Yep, that is Aaron Douglas, or "Chief Galen Tyrol" from BSG. He was really laid back and had no problem taking a picture with a weirdo like me. Right now, Aaron is promoting a new series called "Emmisary", which I am sure I will end up reviewing for BSG fans down the road.
Hello 'Lost' fans,
Pete here from 'Comics Creepshow' and a few other TV show review blogs. Unfortunately, I have some bad news- we will be Schnaarsless for this particular 'Lost' episode. Don't worry, though, I may not be as eloquent as our fancy podcaster, but I am a New Yorker, and a huge Lostie (or whatever lame name 'Lost' fans call themselves). So, with a little change of format, let's get right into it....
Hello 'Fringe' fans. I am back with a review of the past two episodes. I apologize for waiting until now to cover last week's 'The No Brainer', but I was on vacation in another state, and without my laptop.
Battlestar Galactica.
Those are just three of the superior alternatives you can find on television to 'Heroes'. If you are a comic book nerd (and I would assume there are many 'Heroes' fans who read comics) there are tons of interesting books on the shelves, including all of Marvel's DARK REIGN books, or DC's upcoming BLACKEST NIGHT. So why spend any of your spare time watching 'Heroes'?
I honestly have no answer for that.
Since the second season of Battlestar Galactica there has been many hints towards the idea of the fleet being divided between those who accept the cylons living among them, and those who want to see all of the Cylon race destroyed. The main characters have always sacrificed and worked diligently to prevent such a division, because the logical conclusion was that such a divide would cause a civil war amongst the last surviving humans, and thus the whole race would be wiped out.
I am sure all of you guys saw this already, since you were watching the Superbowl. I missed all the Steelers action and the movie tv spots cause I was at a Metallica show. Even though, in the end, I was more disappointed with the first Transformers film, this one looks like it will be a little more dark, and not focus so much on Shia Lebouf's ebay account. For a Transformers cartoon/comic fan, this will give you some sort of arousal.
Last night I was told the most terrifying story I had heard in the past six months. A young man, in Belgium, painted his face to look like the Joker, entered a local nursery and began slaughtering children.
You could just picture the brutality of the crime scene from this description by By Bruno Waterfield and John Bingham of the news website, Telegraph.co.uk :
"The 20-year-old assailant had a painted white face, eye shadow and ginger hair, and was wearing a bullet proof vest, witnesses said.
One question the characters on Battlestar Galactica can be certain the answer is always yes to is "Can it get any worse than this?"
The fleet has now left the decimated planet Earth and is going to begin searching for a brand new habitable planet. The Cylons have the means to increase the probability of finding such a planet before the people of Galactica run out of food or fuel for their ships- They will add Cylon engines to the human ships, making the ships move at 3 times the speed.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

Evoking the look of a skinny handbag, the new Asus Memo Pad 7 is the latest and most stylish tablet to bear the name.
Pricing not available
The new generation of the Asus Memo Pad 7 feels better made than its predecessor and packs in an Intel processor, all at a bargain price tag.
The Asus MeMo Pad 8 is an affordable slate with tons of features, but if performance is king, faster options can be had for only $30 more.
Showcased during a press conference today at MWC, we go hands-on with ZTE's 6-inch Grand Memo II LTE smartphone.
Pricing not available
The Asus Memo Pad FHD 10 is a well-priced large tablet that doesn't compromise on useful extras.

Asus' Memo Pad HD 7 is already better than the tablet it's following up. Well, on paper at least.

Imagine a Nexus 7's innards expanded to a 10-inch tablet and you've got the Asus MeMo Pad Smart 10. Now ask yourself: why wouldn't you want something better?

I completely forgot to post any accessories yesterday – it totally went out of my head, but I've been looking at handbags. Now, I'm no stranger to a heavy cash drop on a bag, but I've been looking at some of them and thinking – no way! £2,000 is just far too much for something to keep your tissues and a spare lipstick in.. it's just not going to happen. There are also some spectacularly horrible ones around – notably the Alexander McQueen weird-shape clutches – they're every single shape of hideous I can think of.
But while I was scouring around for bags, I spotted this one from Mulberry (above). I'm a bit fan of a light coloured bag in winter.. especially this creamy fawn shade – and it's got enough room to squirrel away your M&S ready-meal to take home for dinner and nobody is any the wiser. At £325, I don't think it's outrageous.. it looks posh and premium and it's not the kind of mind-bending price that some of the other are. I always though the Bayswater was over-rated anyway.
It's HERE

I don't want to deny my daughter any joy in her life. Like the Eric Carle story "Papa, Please Get the Moon For Me," if I could grab a giant ladder and prop it atop the highest mountain and bring down the moon for her to dance with, I would. Although that story kind of weirds me out. I'm a fan of Carle, but some of his stories really have me wondering what he's smokin'.
Unfortunately, I know I'm going to have to deny her some of life's pleasures. There are, of course, some financial limitations to what I can gift her. Then there are safety concerns. You know…whatever…parenting stuff.
At present, she's of the age where she's not long for the stroller, which means a lot of roaming in a lot places that make me cringe. I'm a bit of a germaphobe – not like I'll never shake hands kind of germaphobe, but I'm a frequent hand washer and a calculated action kind of guy. That is to say, I'd like to know the potential of the germs to which I will be exposed and base my level of anxiety on that. Animals bring me to immediate DEFCON 1.
So, back to the denying my daughter an experience based upon my germ analysis.
I always loved to feed the goats at the zoo when I was a kid. In fact, at the Milwaukee County Zoo they used to open the gates, let in the kids, and allow them to bottle feed the baby goats. There I was, walking through goat feces, being licked and gnawed at by goats, then rubbing my eyes or wiping my goat soiled hands on my shirt or, worse, wiping out in the pen. One time, while feeding one goat, another came up behind me and took me out.
On so many levels, I cannot believe we were ever allowed to feed zoo animals...still can't believe kids are allowed to do this. And when my daughter asks, I don't know what I'm going to do. Like I said, I don't ever want to deny her an experience, especially just because my adult rear end is hung up on the germiness of it. The world is a dirty place. I can't put my kid in an E.T. haz-mat suit and protect her from everything. But then again, we're not talking about some simple cold germs here. And then there's this...

The bracelet was a little heavier than I was expecting but overall nice work
