|Enantiornithes wing and skin sections encased in amber, nicknamed "Rose".
Credit: Royal Saskatchewan Museum (RSM/ R.C. McKellar)
Thousands of remarkable fossil birds from the time of the dinosaurs have been uncovered in China. However, most of these fossils are flattened in the rock, even though they commonly preserve fossils.
The international research team was led by Dr Xing Lida from the China University of Geosciences, and colleagues from Canada, United States and Professor Mike Benton from the University of Bristol, UK. The specimens come from a famous amber deposit in northeastern Myanmar, which has produced thousands of exquisite specimens of insects of all shapes and sizes, as well as spiders, scorpions, lizards, and isolated feathers. This is the first time that whole portions of birds have been noted.
The fossil wings are tiny, only two or three centimetres long, and they contain the bones of the wing, including three long fingers armed with sharp claws, for clambering about in trees, as well as the feathers, all preserved in exquisite detail. The anatomy of the hand shows these come from enantiornithine birds, a major group in the Cretaceous, but which died out at the same time as the dinosaurs, 66 million years ago.
Amber is solidified tree sap, and the Burmese amber occurs in small blocks that are polished to reveal the treasures within.
Dr Xing Lida, lead author of the study, explained: "The fact that the tiny birds were clambering about in the trees suggests that they had advanced development, meaning they were ready for action as soon as they hatched.
"These birds did not hang about in the nest waiting to be fed, but set off looking for food, and sadly died perhaps because of their small size and lack of experience. Isolated feathers in other amber samples show that adult birds might have avoided the sticky sap, or pulled themselves free."
|A small wing shows a claw and pigment banding in some of the feathers

Results from our recently released 2016 Top 500 Chain Restaurant Report reveal a powerful story of sales growth and comebacks at many leading restaurant chains. Total Top 500 sales grew 5.0%, up from 4.2% growth in 2014 and 3.5% growth in 2013. The limited-service segment drove much of this success, charting a 5.5% sales increase against full-service's 3.6% increase. From booming fast-casual pizza chains to a comeback from big burger chains, helped in part by all-day breakfast gains, the limited-service sector is a foodservice force to be reckoned with.
Fast-casual chains continue to shape the face of foodservice. This subsegment grew sales 11.5% in 2015, far above quick-service chains' 4.4% growth. In fact, for the first time ever a fast-casual chain joined the top 10 ranking. Panera Bread ousted Applebee's for the 10th spot. Consumers are demanding better, cleaner ingredients with increasingly loud voices, and fast-casual chains are meeting these demands head on. Fast-casual pizza concepts top the charts in sales growth: Blaze Pizza, MOD Pizza and Pieology Pizzeria are three of the five fastest-growing chains of last year. As a result, the former two chains have now entered the Top 500 ranks.
Specialty, chicken and better burger are three other fast-casual categories demonstrating noteworthy growth patterns last year, especially in light of the fact that chicken and burger are relatively mature markets. Specialty, single-focused concepts are finding success selling a best-in-class product, while chicken concepts are able to offer affordable, healthful products despite rising commodity costs. Better burger chains continue to thrive thanks to premium, customizable menus, national expansion (via public offerings) and brand loyalty.
Full-service chains are still struggling to recoup losses in a recovering economy, but select adult beverage-focused and upscale casual-dining chains are attracting affluent diners and millennials, and they are gaining share as a result. In particular, sports bars and steak chains are excelling among their full-service peers. Quickly growing FSR chains are able to differentiate their concepts, provide a fun and entertaining atmosphere and oftentimes offer a specialized menu, from handcrafted burgers to locally made wine. Family-style chains also performed relatively well last year, with a 3.1% sales increase, largely thanks to value platforms and lower gas prices driving traffic among lower-income consumers.
AS I SEE IT, as select legacy brands continue to struggle with nominal sales growth and public perception, they will look into exploring new restaurant segments and menu categories. Brands will increasingly ask the question: diversify with fast casual or innovate from within? Cracker Barrel Old Country Store will likely succeed with its well-matched, quirky biscuit fast-casual spinoff, while Chipotle Mexican Grill may want to improve its current core market footing before facing off against big-name better burger chains. Chains will need to evaluate their own risks and benefits, but regardless of their decision, fast casual will continue to grow at lightning speed.

Power Up PLus did this. It still provides a full set of examples of quantity and quality printouts for grades, student counseling, item development, and course development.
High quality students get high test scores. The power of knowledge and judgment scoring to develop active self-correcting high achieving students is still needed in 2016 as is has been for the past three decades.
The emphasis was and still needs to be on student development, not on the highest standardized test score. The learning environment must include all levels of thinking, not just lower level of thinking test coaching for the big test.
This blog returns to the days when teachers made their own multiple-choice questions; before they could select questions on line from test banks that were calibrated to guess-tested standardized tests (academic Family Feud).
Teacher created tests use a common vocabulary actually used in their classrooms. This adds about a 10% increase in the average test score in relation to foreign generated questions.
|2013 Landing Page
Power Up Plus version 5.22 was the last edition that combines DUMB TESTING and SMART TESTING. Students can elect the level of thinking they are the most comfortable with as they develop from negative rote memorizers to highly successful positive self-instructing students.

Kyle Porter has proven that he can take a dick, but we'll see how he handles Tanner Valentino's long, fat cock! But before they get there, they kick things off with kisses, making out and touching each other all over as they lose their clothes and Kyle finds himself staring down Tanner's big prick!
Kyle tackles that cock with his wet mouth, letting Tanner facefuck him as he goes to work making that massive meat even bigger! Tanner pulls Kyle's pants off and takes his sweet cock in his mouth, deepthroating that juicy dick as he strokes it with his hand and tongue until both these guys are horny as fuck.
Tanner pulls Kyle on top of him and Kyle slowly slides Tanner's bareback dick inside of his tight ass, and Tanner's so big he can barely fit inside of Kyle, but these guys make it work and soon Kyle's riding Tanner's cock as they fuck raw and hard. Kyle gets his ass fucked in so many different positions as Tanner takes him whatever way he wants, pounding the fuck out of him until Kyle's ass is sore and Tanner's cum! Once Tanner's gotten his fill of Kyle's tight hole, he keeps his cock in there until Kyle busts a nut next!

Fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT) with early-photons can improve the spatial resolution and fidelity of the reconstructed results. However, its computing scale is always large which limits its applications. In this paper, we introduced an acceleration strategy for the early-photon FMT with graphics processing units (GPUs). According to the procedure, the whole solution of FMT was divided into several modules and the time consumption for each module is studied. In this strategy, two most time consuming modules (Gd and W modules) were accelerated with GPU, respectively, while the other modules remained coded in the Matlab. Several simulation studies with a heterogeneous digital mouse atlas were performed to confirm the performance of the acceleration strategy. The results confirmed the feasibility of the strategy and showed that the processing speed was improved significantly.

Phil Heath is soon to announce the foundation of his own supplement brand, Gifted Nutrition. To begin with, the brand will have a five product line up. One of these will be a product called Accelerate. Although no details have been currently released, we expect this to be a pre workout.
Gifted Nutrition Accelerate Review & Ingredients
There is no shortage of pre workouts currently on the market. It takes something truly innovative to break away from the pack to become an industry leader. However, with endorsement from three-time and current Mr Olympia, Phil Heath, Accelerate could prove popular. In addition, there will also be a stim-free version called Accelerate PM.
We expect Accelerate to contain a blend of stimulants and nitric oxide boosters to both energy and focus. Unlike products like NO Xplode, Acclerate would most likely provide a small serving size of 10 g and below. It will be taking on rivals like Cellucor C4 and Arnold Iron Pump.
Gifted Nutrition Accelerate Release Date
Phil has not yet officially made any announcements on this product, or even his company. It is very likely that the brand will be officially launched during Mr Olympia this year in September. However, it may take a few months after that before it becomes available in Australia, given that all the ingredients are compliant to local regulations.

Joe Flacco has been described as a "talented but dull QB." According to recent comments, he hopes to change that description to "rich winner."
When asked about the general consensus that the Ravens will not be as strong next season after losing several key members, the signal caller said:
"I can't really complain at this point. We won last year. I have a lot
of money – I'm going to get a lot of money – and we're going to win a
lot of football games. That's the way it is
around here. That's what we're going to get used to, and that's what we
want to be used to is winning football games. We're not going to
apologize for acting like a good football team."
Flacco recently signed a mega deal worth $120.6 million. So far this offseason, he is receiving high marks for leadership and skill, and he already has one believer as NFL.com's Adam Schein went on record predicting another stellar season for Baltimore.

(Adds more details)
By Huw Jones
LONDON, June 29 (Reuters) - Britain's financial watchdog is taking a close look at lending practices in the fast-growing car financing sector, and has sought advice from U.S. regulators, the chief executive of the Financial Conduct Authority said on Thursday.
Andrew Bailey said the starting point was whether there has been a structural change in how people buy and sell cars in Britain and what this means.
"My hunch is there has been. It has become more like the U.S. market," Bailey told reporters. "It has become more of a secured finance market than it was in the past."
In recent rapid growth in consumer credit, which the Bank of England again highlighted this week, cars were "quite a big part of the story", Bailey said.
The FCA has been in "quite a lot of talks" with U.S. regulators because they have longer experience of the auto financing market, he added.
The BoE's latest Financial Stability Report published this week said consumer credit has been growing much faster than household incomes in recent years. Car finance offered by dealers has seen the fastest growth, making up 30 percent of credit.
Under "personal contract purchases", the customer pays a fraction of the car's price as a deposit, and then pays regular monthly instalments, with the ability to buy the car at a price agreed at the start. The guaranteed price is typically used to buy a new car, thus ensuring a continuous demand for vehicles.
Dealership finance, mainly provided by units of global car makers, has seen an average annual growth rate of around 20 percent since 2012, the BoE report said. Around 85 percent of new car purchases used dealership finance in 2016, compared with about half in 2009, the BoE report said.
Bailey said there was a need to look at the link between the value of the car and borrowing.
"If you talked to U.S. bankers on this, they'll tell you stories about what worked and didn't work in the U.S."
"You have to look at the conduct that's going on in the terms of how the lending is being advanced to people and what they understand about it," Bailey said.
The BoE said in March that its banking supervisory arm was also reviewing credit quality in new lending in dealership car finance.

Ntbackup.exe supports backup to disk as well as to tape, and snapshots and cloning are two approaches to disk backups. You can take a snapshot in seconds rather than in hours (which tape-based backups of large databases often require). However, you need sufficient disk space to store the snapshot, which usually equals the size of the database that you back up. Also, Exchange 2000 Server doesn't offer native support for snapshots or clones.
A snapshot is a logical copy of a disk volume—think of it as a physical copy of the block map that maps a RAID volume's logical blocks to the physical blocks on the volume's disks. You can use the snapshot as a separate LU (and therefore as a separate Windows 2000 device) that points to the original physical disks. You can implement a block map at the OS or RAID-controller level.
Cloning, which other OSs have offered for well more than a decade, is a simple idea: Add a mirror member to a volume, let the OS update the member so that it contains the same content as the volume, then break the member out of the mirror set. The result—an exact physical copy of the volume—can contain one or more databases. If you lose the original database, you can swap in the cloned copy and replay the transaction logs to recover data, then bring the restored database online.
Exchange databases tend to be large, so aside from the disk space these methods require, using snapshots or clones to speed backups has obvious advantages. In addition, because a snapshot is a true image copy of the database, you have a reasonable guarantee that the copy will be good and will let you recover all the data. A tape backup can write bad data to the tape or can prove unreadable during a restore. You can use snapshots or clones to recover individual mailboxes or public folders that have been deleted through administrative error but only after you move the snapshot to a recovery server.
Be aware, however, that Exchange 2000 requires the Store databases to be quiescent (i.e., in a consistent state) before you can take a snapshot or database clone because Exchange 2000 doesn't support a backup API extension to take a point-in-time snapshot. Some backup solutions achieve quiescence by temporarily dismounting the database to force the Store to commit all outstanding transactions. Usually, the backup vendors provide scripts that drive these operations so that they flow with minimal operator intervention. The big problem with this scenario is that users lose connections to the Store while the script runs, although you can mitigate that problem by scheduling snapshots at times of low user demand. Some solutions take snapshots by splitting off one drive in the mirror set. However, the Exchange 2000 Store isn't designed to provide good backups through mirror splits or cloning, and the drive that you split off might not contain a good copy of the database, so my advice is to avoid solutions that use these methods. In fact, if you want to take true hot backups, consider deploying Windows Server 2003 and Exchange Server 2003—which provide Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS), a standard API that lets applications enable snapshot support—and VSS-aware backup hardware and software—which are necessary to support VSS backups and restores.

Five Go Kart Racers Who Moved To Formula 1
# 1 – Michael Schumacher: The German-born driver, Michael Schumacher, has won seven World Championships, 91 successful Grand Prix races, and is the undisputed king of Formula 1 racing. With this kind of CV, it should come as no surprise that Schumacher was behind the wheel practically around the same time he started to walk. At the age of four, his father built his first pedal indoor go-kart with an engine. After the age of six, Michael won his first championship go-karting race. These early successes quickly led to sponsorship business, and when he was 18, Michael was both the champion of German and European go-karting. Three years later, he won the German F3 Championship and Go-Kart. Soon after, he was hired by Mercedes to drive sports cars, making his debut in Formula 1 when he was just 22.
# 2 – Ayrton Senna: – Just like Schumacher, Ayrton Senna was given his first go-kart from his father when he was only four years old. He had his first kart race at age 13 and launched first place in the competition. When he was 21, he was racing cars in the UK, and only after three years Senna made his debut in Formula 1. Over the next 10 years, he would make his mark in Formula 1, winning three world championships and 41 Grand Prix races.
# 3 – Fernando Alonso: – After winning two championships and 27 Grand Prix Races, Fernando Alonso became the youngest Formula 1 champion in history at the young age of 24. Inspired by his father, who was an amateur go-kart racer, Alonso started early by building his own go-kart when he was just three years old. At the age of seven, he participated in and won his first go-kart race. At the age of 10, Alonso had won six go-kart racing trophies. By 15, he had won the majority of the go-kart races he participated in, including a world championship. In 2000, at 19 years old, Alonso made his debut in Formula 1 racing.
# 4 – Kimi Raikkonen – Finnish Formula 1 driver, Kimi Raikkonen, might have been considered over-the-hill by the time he hopped into his first go-kart at age 10, especially compared to his companions on this list. But the racing superstar measures up all the same, when it comes to the number of races and championships won during his career. Before entering Formula 1, Raikkonen won dozens of competitions and title in Finland, Norway and Europe. With a Formula 1 championship and 18 Grand Prix wins on his list of accomplishments, it doesn't seem like the late go-kart bloomer is planning on slowing down any time soon.
# 5 – Jenson Button – Another famous driver who got a seemingly late start on the go-kart track is Jenson Button. Receiving his first kart at the age of eight, Button made up for lost time thereafter. The British racing star, didn't waste any time and drove to victory on his very first go-kart race. By age 17 Button became the youngest racer to win the Formula Super-A championship. BMW's Formula 1 team signed Button not too long after his 20th birthday. As one of the youngest racers on this list he only has 1 championship and 12 Formula 1 Grand Prix wins, but there's surely more to come. Organizations like the World Karting Association (WKA) give rise to some of the brightest stars in the world of Formula 1. With so much talent rising from the world of go karts, we are sure to see many more famous Formula 1 champions who got their start in go-karting.

I'm currently using the following to run commands on remote systems through ssh. I'd appreciate any comments or improvements.
One specific question is how to capture STDERR and assign it to the remote host it came from. (I haven't spent much time investigating this issue, so there's probably some easy fix I've overlooked.)
Here's the script:

However, when there are errors, I haven't figured out how to assign them to the corresponding host:
Update: I revisited this recently, and realized I just needed redirection. A quick hack like this does it:

Most professional tennis players bank in American dollars, and the overall prize-money pot has gone up 6.2 per cent from last summer, from £11.812 million to £12.55 million, with the men's and women's champions to each receive £850,000, an increase of £100,000, or 13.3 per cent, on last season.
Even with the increase in prize-money in pounds, the current value in dollars of the prize-money has gone down because of the exchange rate.
summer, the exchange rate was around two dollars to the pound, meaning that Rafael Nadal and Venus Williams each received around $1.5 million for their victories.
At the moment, the exchange rate is about 1.5 dollars to the pound, so if that rate stays around that level until the summer, Nadal and Williams would receive approximately $1.275 million each if they managed to successfully defend their Wimbledon titles.
Still, it is not as if Nadal and Williams will be returning to Centre Court for the money; the Majorcan desperately wants to hold on to the Challenge Cup and the Californian would like the glory and the personal satisfaction of retaining the Venus Rosewater Dish.
One number that the All England Club have never disclosed is how much it cost to build a retractable roof on Centre Court, but one guestimate that has been bouncing around the British tennis scene is £100 million.

So, it's been awhile hasn't it.
Like, such a long time that I managed to part ways with a part of my body since my last post.
On Wednesday, I had my gallbladder removed. It's something I've been fighting for a long time. I had cholestasis of pregnancy when I had Liam, and was told I needed to have it removed two years ago. I wanted to see if I could control this issue through diet. But the last three weeks were bad. Like, chicken broth and rice every day bad.
Also, I got tired of thinking about my gallbladder every day, and wondering if this would be the day a stone gets lodged in a duct and causes me all kinds of awfulness?
And really, that was the answer to something I had prayed for over these last two years -- discernment. I wanted clarity -- that if my gallbladder was going to be a problem, that it makes itself apparent now, and not when I'm pregnant again. And I got the message.
So here I sit (even if it took me five minutes to get myself into sitting position), two days later. I'm sore, bloated, and very tired. And trying to keep myself from Google and it's abundance of post-op horror stories. I'm nervous that I'll always be this bloated, that I won't be able to enjoy food.
PS - Last night, Liam brought me the cup of ginger ale I "forgot" in the other room (and didn't spill a drop...whew!) He also pointed to his tummy and said, "Mommy has boo boos". Then we compared boo boos...he thinks the tiny mark on his left knee means he's winning.

Faith Education Action and Service Together
FEAST aims to create a safe space to discuss, challenge, and even question the Bible. There is always snacks and a lively, subversive Bible study.
We believe that Jesus was an activist that believed in economic and racial justice. We partner with justice-minded organizations because that's what it looks like to build the Kingdom of God.
We are an ecumenical and progressive ministry dedicated to open-minded living, social justice and an emerging Christian faith.
We seek to follow Jesus by serving each other and our wider communities. We live out our faith missionally by working for social justice and positive change.
We welcome questioning and doubt as expressions of great faithfulness. We see in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ an extravagant welcome where people of all genders, ethnic backgrounds, creeds, sexual orientations and gender identities are celebrated and affirmed.
"I love FEAST because it's a community of young adults who seek to follow in their FAITH, EDUCATE themselves and others, ACT according to what Jesus would do, volunteer their time and energy through SERVICE, whilst all doing this work TOGETHER in the name of love. I love FEAST because it became the close knit church community I dearly missed once moving away from my own church family back at home to attend UCSC. I couldn't have asked for a better community of like minded people sharing their struggles with the world and organized religion. I love FEAST because it was not only a safe place for anyone of any gender and sexual orientation, but also a place to ask questions and not feel judged. I love FEAST because it gave me a sense of hope for this troubled world we live in where some people choose to do bad things in the name of religion. I love FEAST because it showed me that 'justice is what love looks like in public'."
Paige Butzlaff
Former FEAST student leader
"FEAST showed me that it is possible to have progressive views and be Christian, and that really spoke to me. FEAST and progressive Christianity is the space I had been searching for my whole faith experience. I found a home, and real friends who didn't judge me, and that is priceless. FEAST may be a small group but it has a huge positive impact on me and my life."
Maria Romero
FEAST Coordinator

From NBC 15 :: NEWS:
"Motherhood doesn't just change your life. It also changes your brain.
New research, reported last month at a neuroscience meeting in San Diego, suggests that having babies permanently alters brain function.
If you're a rat, it makes you better at finding and killing dinner quickly. If you're a human, it helps you distinguish between your baby's cry and that of other children.
In either case, it's something fathers just don't get. Only mothers undergo these changes.
'Clearly these experiences are changing the female brain, but in a way that's natural,' said Craig Kinsley, a neuroscientist at the University of Richmond in Virginia. "

Meet Our Board of Directors:
Chris Budnick, MSW, LCSW, LCAS, CCS (Chairperson) person in long-term recovery (est. 1990), has been working in the addiction treatment and recovery field since 1993. Chris became a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor in 1998. He graduated from East Carolina University in 2000 with a Master of Social Work. Chris has been fully licensed as a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist since 2001; a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2002; and a Clinical Certified Supervisor since 2003. He was an intern from 1999 to 2000 with Healing Transitions International, Inc. and has been employed with them since 2000.
Chris has been an Adjunct Instructor with the North Carolina State University Department of Social Work since 2002. He has served on their Advisory Board since 2003, serving as chair on two different occasions. Chris is presently the founding Board Chair for Recovery Communities of North Carolina, Inc. (RCNC), a recovery community organization. He also serves on the North Carolina Lawyer Assistance Program Board and the Recovery Africa Board.
Chris has conducted trainings and presentations nationally and internationally. Some of his most rewarding work has been research, publication and presentation of the history of mutual aid recovery fellowships for persons with drug addiction in collaboration with Mr. William White and Mr. Boyd Pickard.
Tom Edwards has been with Pavillon Treatment Center since the 1990s. He visited Pavillon in Canada with a friend and reports it was a turning point in his life, and achievement of a new level of appreciation for his own recovery process. Tom's personal recovery story has informed much of his life since August 7, 1986.
In Tom's decades of experience in marketing residential substance use disorder treatment services at Pavillon, he learned that the first priority is the person needing help – putting their interests first. Over the years he has used right principles to guide his work and relationships were formed, improved and he remains active with the community that developed.
Tom's heart and special interest has simply been to see people, especially young people, enter and sustain recovery. Tom says "I've never heard a person in recovery say that they wish they had waited." He has engaged with collegiate recovery organizations from around the country and has learned that through collaboration we all improve our ability to take the right next step with the person needing help.
Ralph Rodland is a person in long-term recovery from alcohol and other drugs since March 28, 2010.
He serves as a Substance Use Disorder Counselor at Mental Health Associates of the Triad, a licensed mental health and substance use counseling provider serving Guilford County.

Ralph holds a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor credential with the North Carolina Substance Abuse Professional Practice Board. Primarily, Ralph provides substance use disorder assessments for those involved with the criminal justice system to provide alternatives to incarceration, focusing on linkage to treatment engagement.
His recovery status has brought about hope and stability to his life, two traits he never thought possible while battling his active addiction. He is a Godfather, an uncle, a son, and enjoys films and political history.
Jerry Monday spent 30 years working with the City of Raleigh in Finance retiring as Revenue Manager. After viewing "The Anonymous People" and determining Addiction Recovery was a cause in which he wanted to become involved, he volunteered with RCNC as a Recovery Ally. In 2015, Jerry was asked to become a member of the Board as Treasurer.
Jerry's passion is to challenge the status quo about all aspects of how the Disease of Addiction, is thought about and more specifically treated. He believes that through education, the public, government, insurance companies, treatment centers, as well as all areas of medicine the stigma associated with "addiction" can be overcome. A cure is the light he sees at the end of the tunnel. In addition he also advocates for those with loved ones suffering with the disease. Others becoming additional victims to this disease does not help the addict!!!
BETTY CURRIER, BA, NYS CASAC-R, NYS CPP-R retired to North Carolina in 2013 after more than 25 years as an addiction professional in New York state. An experienced trainer, she dedicates time to training and advocacy activities that build the capacity of the addiction recovery community. She is a Master/Core Trainer for the Recovery Coach Academy and Train the Trainers, developed by the Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR) and a trainer for "Our Stories Have Power: Recovery Community Messaging Training," developed by Faces and Voices of Recovery.
Betty's passion for the needs of individuals and their families afflicted with or affected by addictions began with her own recovery in January 1976. "After more than 20 years of fear, hopelessness, loneliness and chaos," she says," my recovery has given me peace, hope, love and purpose. In short, a life beyond my wildest dreams. My four children have found their own pathways to recovery, and my six grandchildren are addiction free. I believe the cycle has been broken in my family. My commitment and life purpose is to demonstrate the reality of recovery for those affected by addictions and to help change public perceptions of addiction. I'm proud to be a face and voice of recovery."
Ann Matteson became involved in Family Recovery because of a close family member's struggles with alcohol. Years ago there were very few resources available to educate family members in how to interact and communicate with the loved one. Healing Transitions, formerly The Healing Place, started a new Family Group which was life changing for Ann. Education about the disease was critical in understanding how to move forward in a healthy and positive way for the entire family. She joined in helping to organize Raleigh's 1st Annual Rally for Recovery which is now in its 5th year celebrating all those who do recover. RCNC was spun off from the Rally and she became an RCNC Board member in 2013.
Ann Matteson grew up in Raleigh and has enjoyed seeing all the changes that have come with the growth. She has been in real estate since graduating from Salem College with a BA in Economics-Management & Sociology in 1979. Her objective is to market properties and assist buyers utilizing professional ethics, enthusiasm and many years of experience in the real estate industry.
Ernestine Chapman (Secretary) has a Master of Science degree in Applied Addiction Studies, is a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist and a Certified Clinical Supervisor; she has worked in the substance use and mental health field for the past 37 years.
She is currently an independent contractor with the Raleigh Counseling Collaborative providing individual therapy and clinical supervision. Ernestine has served on a number of substance use and mental health-related boards and committees during her long career and has a special passion for working with adult children of alcoholics as well as older (65+) adults with substance use disorders.
Karen Kranbuehl is an attorney and social worker. She is an advocate and innovator at the intersection of substance use disorder, equity, and justice. As the founder of ACT for Recovery NC, Karen provides advocacy, consulting, and training services. That work currently focuses on individuals who have substance use disorders and are in the justice system or face other barriers. Karen is Vice Chairperson of the North Carolina Substance Use Disorder Federation. In addition to six years of legal practice, her past experiences in human services include answering the crisis telephone at an agency that serves survivors of rape, sexual assault, and intimate partner violence. Karen has also volunteered as a guardian ad litem in cases of child abuse and neglect. She graduated from the William and Mary School of Law and the University of Virginia and holds a Master of Social Work from UNC Chapel Hill. Karen is a person in long-term recovery from substance use disorder since 1995.

Rowan Companies Inc. Reports Operating Results
Rowan Companies Inc. (RDC) filed Quarterly Report for the period ended 2009-03-31.
Rowan Companies Inc. is a major provider of international and domestic offshore contract drilling services. The Company also owns and operates a manufacturing division that produces equipment for the drilling mining and timber industries. Rowan Companies Inc. has a market cap of $2.06 billion; its shares were traded at around $18.19 with a P/E ratio of 4.2 and P/S ratio of 0.9. Rowan Companies Inc. had an annual average earning growth of 10.9% over the past 10 years.
Highlight of Business Operations:
As indicated in the preceding table, our consolidated operating income increased by $50.5 million or 34%, when comparing the first quarters of 2009 and 2008, on a $9.3 million or 2% increase in revenues and a $41.2 million or 12% reduction in costs. See further discussion under segments below.
Net income includes income tax expenses of $67.9 million (34%) and $51.8 million (35%) for the first quarters of 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Our drilling operations generated a $40.0 million or 12% increase in revenues between periods. Our average offshore day rate was $173,600 during the first quarter of 2009, compared to $159,700 in the first quarter of 2008. Our offshore fleet was 93% utilized during the first quarter of 2009, compared to 91% in the first quarter of 2008, with much of the downtime in each period associated with rigs that were being prepared for long-term assignments. We realized 96 or 6% more revenue-producing days between periods primarily due to the addition of newbuild jack-ups Rowan-Mississippi and J.P. Bussell in November 2008, and foreign operations contributed 53% of the total revenues during the first quarter of 2009, down from 61% in the first quarter of 2008.
Drilling expenses during the first quarter of 2009 decreased by $11.1 million, or 7%, from the first quarter of 2008 due primarily to lower labor and related fringe benefit costs, repair and maintenance and insurance costs. Drilling depreciation expense increased by $7.6 million or 26% between periods due primarily to the rig additions discussed above. Selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by our Drilling segment decreased by $0.7 million or 4% between periods due primarily to lower incentive-based compensation expense.
Our Drilling operations included a $4.7 million net gain on property and equipment disposals during the first quarter of 2009, compared to $5.4 million during the first quarter of 2008. Both amounts relate primarily to the sale of non-core facilities.
Our Drilling Products and Systems operating results for the 2009 first quarter excludes $73 million of revenues and $53 million of expenses in connection with sales of products and services to our Drilling segment, most of which was attributable to construction of the newbuild jack-up, Ralph Coffman. Drilling Products and Systems operating results for the comparable quarter of 2008 excludes $79 million of revenues and $66 million of expenses, primarily for construction of the J.P. Bussell, Rowan-Mississippi and Ralph Coffman.

Zoey Thompson, Features Editor
Woodbury, NY – Today's beauty trends lean towards utilizing advanced medical technology and products to deliver maximum impact to the skin, hair and body. Aesthetic medicine has become one of the hottest beauty markets today thanks to celebrity advocates and advances in non-surgical options. Poised to grow to a thirteen billion dollar industry within the next five years, aesthetic medicine's growth is easily associated with its ability to produce results. Sonia Soni, owner of the prestigious Become MedSpa and respected voice in the beauty industry believes that it is the dramatic effects that spa treatments produce in her clients that keep people coming back time and time again.
"All of us want to look our best, and if we can receive treatment that produces a positive result in those problem areas then—of course—we're going to keep doing that. The type of immediate change that people see in their skin and bodies with our treatments is why people return to Become MedSpa," says Sonia. "Our products and services are all based upon an advanced understanding of the skin and use the top products and technologies in aesthetic medicine today."
Sonia explains that her clients are generally people who have a problem area that they feel insecure with and want a solution so they can become the best version of themselves. According to Sonia, this is something that she personally has an understanding of. For years she sought out medical treatment for her acne issues without, she says, the type of options available to people today. It was her own transformative experience with skincare solutions that led her to open Become Medspa.
"Empathy was my driving force behind Become," Sonia explains. "It's also what pushes us to be the best at what we do. It's unbelievable how our insecurities about our appearance can have so much influence in our lives. When we help people look better, we're also helping them to feel better. That's priceless."
Become Medspa uses advanced technology to deliver results that are permanent and in most cases, immediate. Technicians employ a variety of techniques, from peels to facials in order to target those areas that people complain about most often: acne, discoloration, wrinkles, and scarring. The spa also offers hair removal, vein removal, and advanced body sculpting solutions making it a total body makeover spa. As Sonia is happy to point out, Become Medspa incorporates the most effective and popular technologies into their regime. Many of the services they provide are not found anywhere else in their region, such as Sciton Laser Therapy, Cryotherapy, and PRP. The spa promotes a three-tiered beauty model: Prevent, Correct, and Maintain to deliver results with an impact.
"We want to help our clients feel transformed so they can go out there and take on the world," she says. "Our spa advocates products that help to prevent issues with the skin, correct current issues, and also products that will maintain the treatments and quality of the skin post-visit. We're constantly improving upon our brand. If it is a new product that has the type of results we are looking for then we're going to fit it into our product line and service solutions."

If you're a responsible and compassionate adult who is looking for work, there may be a job for you as a senior companion.
Companions are being hired by the Ruth & Norman Rales Jewish Family Service, a beneficiary agency of the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County. They earn $10 an hour as they assist the frail elderly with light housekeeping and getting to the grocery store or library.
Training for 30 future companions begins Thursday. After the training, each companion will work 10 to 20 hours a week, said Danielle Hartman, family service president.
One of the goals of the program is to keep aging seniors in their homes and stimulated for as long as possible instead of moving them into nursing homes, she said.
"For so many seniors who are not ready for a certified nursing assistant, this is the first step to acknowledging they need help," Hartman said. "They still want to live a full life. The companions help fill an emotional void."
The family service has about 850 frail elderly clients, most of whom live below poverty levels and need help buying food and paying rent.
Leonard Rand, 84, said he needs help carrying groceries. Two companions visit him each week.
"They're good company," said Rand, a retired Chrysler salesman. "They help me shop and bring my stuff in. The bags have become too bulky and heavy."

That graceful insect, he said backstage on Wednesday, inspired his Spring 2013 collection, in which he embellished both daywear and evening gowns alike with intricate cutouts, filigree-inspired prints, appliques and embroidery.
For daytime, a sleeveless white top had "drapes," an almost winglike effect. It was paired with a steel-colored pencil skirt. An onyx leather dress was enhanced by intricate laser cutouts. A sea green and sand-colored suede dress with silk inserts was one of the most wearable daytime looks.
But the prettiest short dress came in a dusty rose, with a hand-pleated chiffon skirt that seemed to float along the runway. The look returned later in longer form, and equally romantic — a rose lace chiffon strapless gown with a hand-pleated skirt.
Some of the embellished gowns seemed a bit too busy. But a chartreuse and sand organza gown with a hand-pleated skirt made a wonderfully striking impression: the effect was that of a swirling breeze enveloping the model as she glided down the runway.
In addition to the luna moth, Mohapatra said he was influenced by the tradition of silver filigree work in his home state of Orissa, in India.
And as for that moth, the designer said it was the metamorphosis it goes through in its short life (it lives for only a week) that inspired him.
"It's like the woman — she is constantly evolving," he said.

Textile Arts Center-Threads Review: "The million dollar art market"
It's an old rambling space, built in 1899 that needs a lot of TLC. There are big holes in some walls, and rooms in colors, I might not have chosen for myself. It's a labor of love, and a work in progress. From now on, about three or four times a year, artists will be invited to make site-specific pieces. You can see some photos from the day here.

Bury Your Dead – Eyes Wide Shut lyrics
There's nothing that you could say to me to keep from walking away.
So let's go. Maybe it hasn't registered yet, to you that we're through.
But, we're as done as it gets my love and for us there will be no sunrise as I lay next to you, and this is the last thing I will ever give to you.
It's over.
This is the last thing I give to you.
It's over

Place the Snyder's of Hanover® Sourdough Specials down on a flat surface to create the size of the wreath needed and simply hot glue the sides of the pretzels together.
For depth: create another circle of pretzels the same size as the first and glue this circle of pretzel atop the original one so that the pretzels circles don't line up exactly, giving a more scalloped look.
Next, use silk flowers purchased at a local craft supply house- fresh leaves from your yard would work just as well! Glue the leaves to the inside of the top pretzel circle, overlapping the leaves as you work. We found a bag of little plastic pumpkins and squash and glued some of those on too.
To hang it, weave a bit of raffia or ribbon through the top and you're done.

FYI: Fashion takes great care with winter outerwear
This time of year, even in West Texas, there is a nip in the air. When you want your winter outerwear—coats, jackets and sweaters—to look their best, take them to Fashion Cleaners.
Dusters, down-filled coats and jackets, sweaters and other warm attire are no problem for the experts at Fashion. Owner Philip McCain notes that down filled coats can be cleaned either in water or dry cleaned, but that the "fluff" is retained better if they're dry cleaned. Of course, the fluff is what gives you the warmth you really need.
If you have a coat that has a collar or cuffs of real fur, make sure those furs are removable for cleaning—they must be cleaned separately from the rest of the garment, no matter what it's made of. Furs have to be handled in such a way that the natural oils are restored, or the skin will dry, crack and ruin.
Fashion can add water repellant to many types of coats if you desire—please ask when you turn the garment in to see if it can be done.
Fashion Cleaners has two convenient locations: 801 W. Wall and in the Imperial Shopping Center at Midkiff and Wadley. They do all kinds of cleaning and laundry, as well as alterations, reweaving and keepsaking of bridal gowns. Pickup and delivery are available.

Despite the meteoric rise of cloud based applications and services, as well as its subsequent adoption by a significant number of enterprises, security still remains a major concern for many organizations. The elephant in the room is the misconception that the cloud is less secure than on-premise capabilities. Gartner eloquently describes this as "more of a trust issue than based on any reasonable analysis of actual security capabilities".
A recent global study by BT revealed that 76% of large organizations cited security as their main concern for using cloud-based services. 49% admitted being " very" or "extremely anxious" about the security complications of these services. However according to Gartner, the reality is "most breaches continue to involve on-premises data center environments".
Where do you stand on this issue?
Join Patrick Foxhoven, VP & CTO of Emerging Technologies, Zscaler, for a compelling webcast debunking the top myths of cloud security. He will address the following myths:
· Cloud-based infrastructure is inherently more vulnerable than a traditional IT infrastructure
· Cloud vendors lack transparency when it comes to understanding their security posture
· Physical management of data and hardware means better security
· Cloud security is difficult to manage
· Moving security to the cloud results in a loss of control over the security architecturePatrick will also provide concrete steps you can take to keep your organization safe in today's cloud and mobile first IT landscape.
