Article: Cultural Accommodation of Group Substance Abuse Treatment for Latino Adolescents: Results of an RCT.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Comparative studies examining the difference between empirically supported substance abuse treatments versus their culturally accommodated counterparts with participants from a single ethnic minority group are frequently called for in the literature but infrequently conducted in practice. This randomized clinical trial was conducted to compare the efficacy of an empirically supported standard version of a group-based cognitive-behavioral treatment (S-CBT) to a culturally accommodated version (A-CBT) with a sample of Latino adolescents primarily recruited from the juvenile justice system. Development of the culturally accommodated treatment and testing was guided by the Cultural Accommodation Model for Substance Abuse Treatment (CAM-SAT). Seventy Latino adolescents (mean age = 15.2; 90% male) were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 group-based treatment conditions (S-CBT = 36; A-CBT = 34) with assessments conducted at pretreatment, posttreatment, and 3-month follow-up. Longitudinal Poisson mixed models for count data were used to conduct the major analyses. The primary outcome variable in the analytic models was the number of days any substance was used (including alcohol, except tobacco) in the past 90 days. In addition, the variables ethnic identity, familism, and acculturation were included as cultural moderators in the analysis. Although both conditions produced significant decreases in substance use, the results did not support a time by treatment condition interaction; however, outcomes were moderated by ethnic identity and familism. The findings are discussed with implications for research and practice within the context of providing culturally relevant treatment for Latino adolescents with substance use disorders.

ABSTRACT: We appreciate Sheats' comments on our Young Parenthood Program (YPP) article. Sheats has raised important questions regarding the relevance of YPP for young parents living in different social and cultural contexts. We believe these questions are useful and program developers like us must attend to the diverse needs of young parents based on their socioeconomic status, cultural beliefs and values, and experiences of acculturation and discrimination. Our article reported results from an initial test of the YPP. At the end, we stated that more research was needed to "provide important information about how we might adapt the program for different subgroups." These were not empty words. (Am J Public Health.

Article: Young parenthood program: supporting positive paternal engagement through coparenting counseling.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objectives. Because of their youth, adolescent parents often lack the interpersonal skills necessary to manage the relationship challenges involved in parenting, leaving them and their children vulnerable to the health risks associated with relational stress and conflict. The primary goal of this study was to test the efficacy of the Young Parenthood Program (YPP), a 10-week counseling program administered during pregnancy and designed to facilitate interpersonal skill development and positive parenting among adolescent parents. Methods. Participants included 105 pregnant adolescents and their partners randomly assigned to YPP or treatment as usual. Assessments measured coparenting skills and parental functioning during the second trimester, 12 weeks after birth, and 18 months after birth. Results. Results indicated that fathers completing YPP demonstrated more positive parenting than did fathers in the control group. Moreover, the positive outcomes in paternal functioning were mediated through changes in the mother's interpersonal skill development. Conclusions. Results supported the efficacy of this couples-focused, coparenting support program, particularly for facilitating positive paternal engagement. These findings underscored the relevance of including fathers in the delivery of maternal-child public health services.American Journal of Public Health 08/2012; 102(10):1886-92.

Article: Comparing Culturally Accommodated Versus Standard Group CBT for Latino Adolescents With Substance Use Disorders: A Pilot Study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Studies comparing empirically supported substance abuse treatments versus their culturally accommodated counterparts with participants from a specific ethnic minority group are lacking in the literature. To address this gap, this pilot study was conducted to compare the feasibility and relative efficacy of an empirically supported standard version of cognitive-behavioral substance abuse treatment (S-CBT) to a culturally accommodated version (A-CBT) with a sample of Latino adolescents. This study was guided by a Cultural Accommodation Model for Substance Abuse Treatment (CAM-SAT). Thirty-five Latino adolescents (mean age = 15.49) were randomly assigned to one of two 12-week group-based treatment conditions (S-CBT = 18; A-CBT = 17) with assessments conducted at pretreatment, posttreatment and 3-month follow-up. Results indicated similar retention and satisfaction rates for participants in both treatment conditions. In addition, participants in both conditions demonstrated significant decreases in substance use from pre- to posttreatment with slight increases at 3-month follow-up; however, substance use outcomes were moderated by two cultural variables: ethnic identity and familism. Implications of these findings within the context of conducting clinical trials with Latino adolescents are discussed.

Article: Relationship Between Perceived and Actual Frequency Represented by Common Rating Scale Labels[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Two experiments investigated the relationship between subjective interpretation of frequency terms and corresponding objective values. Evidence supported the existence of a nonlinear relationship that is well described by a logarithmic function. The general form of this relationship was consistent across different methods of eliciting subjective frequency estimates and different frequency response scales. These findings, in combination with prior research, suggest that individuals can be highly accurate in reporting the frequency of prior experiences but that subjective reports using common frequency response scales and scoring methods should not be taken to reflect equal intervals of actual frequency. This bears similarity to psychophysical relationships observed between sensation and stimulus intensity, and it has implications for the interpretation and analysis of self-report measures that use Likert-type frequency response scales.

ABSTRACT: Collaboration with community stakeholders is an often suggested step when integrating cultural variables into psychological treatments for members of ethnic minority groups. However, there is a dearth of literature describing how to accomplish this process within the context of substance abuse treatment studies. This article describes a qualitative study conducted through a series of focus groups with stakeholders in the Latino community. Data from focus groups were used by the researchers to guide the integration of cultural variables into an empirically supported substance abuse treatment for Latino adolescents currently being evaluated for efficacy. A model for culturally accommodating empirically supported treatments for ethnic minority participants is also described.Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse 07/2011; 10(3):202-25.

Article: The Young Parenthood Program: Preventing Intimate Partner Violence Between Adolescent Mothers and Young Fathers[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This pilot study tested the Young Parenthood Program (YPP), which is a new coparenting counseling program designed to support positive communications and prevent the occurrence of intimate partner violence (IPV) among pregnant adolescents and their biological partners. One hundred five coparenting couples were recruited, assessed, and randomized into a treatment or a control group and then reassessed at 3 and 18 months post birth. The assessment process included an interview-based screening for the occurrence of IPV that was administered to both mothers and fathers in individual meetings. Initial results indicated that couples who were randomly assigned to the YPP were significantly less likely to have engaged in IPV at the first follow-up, compared to couples in the "treatment as usual" control group, but the strength of this finding diminished over time. Because the YPP is new and our sample is relatively small, findings should be regarded as preliminary. Additional testing of YPP is necessary, but initial results are promising and underscore the potential value of targeted programs for preventing IPV among at-risk populations.Journal of Couple & Relationship Therapy 04/2011; 10(2):117-134.

Article: School psychologists' perceived competence and training needs for student substance abuse*.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: School psychologists are some of the most likely personnel to deliver mental health services, including substance abuse, in school settings, but there is limited research on the perceived competence of school psychologists to address student substance abuse concerns. The 3 aims of this study were to determine how school psychologists perceive their training in 9 competence areas related to student substance abuse and to identify which training areas they indicate as being most needed to address student substance and which substances they perceive as being the most common in their schools. A descriptive survey study was conducted with a national sample of 210 school psychologists working in high schools. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance to test for differences between competency areas; descriptive statistics and correlation analyses were employed to determine key training areas for school psychologists. Findings indicated that school psychologists varied in their ratings of perceived competence to address student substance abuse concerns. Participants identified screening and assessment, consultation, and individual interventions as the most important areas for future training. School psychologists need and want more training for working with students who use or abuse substances. Implications for pre-service and in-service training are discussed and directions for future research are provided.Journal of School Health 07/2009; 79(6):269-76; quiz 293-5.

ABSTRACT: Experimentation with substances is typical for many young people, but unfortunately some will go on to develop substance abuse problems that substantially affect their lives. Successfully intervening with students who use or abuse substances is a challenge for school mental health professionals across the nation. There is a need for evidence-based practices that school professionals can use when working with students who have substance abuse problems. This article provides school professionals in secondary settings with current information on student substance use rates, evidence-based individual and group interventions, and discussion of the 42 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 2 (42 CFR). © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Psychology in the Schools 03/2009; 46(3):238 - 245.

Article: The influence of attitudes, acculturation, and gender on substance use for Mexican American middle school students[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The present study tested if current drug use was related to acculturation (measured by language spoken at home), gender, or youth attitudes towards drugs in a large sample of 8th grade, predominantly Mexican American, Hispanic youth. The data were obtained via self-report survey from 2964 Hispanic youth in 108 schools. Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) was used to test if acculturation, gender, or youth attitudes towards drugs predicted past 30-day use of alcohol, inhalant, or marijuana use and assess school-level influences. Acculturation and gender interacted with attitudes towards drugs to predict current alcohol use. Gender interacted with attitudes towards drugs to predict current alcohol and inhalant use. Having positive attitudes towards drugs was related to increased substance use for all three drug types. Hispanic eighth grade girls had significantly higher use rates than boys for both alcohol and inhalants. Additional research is needed to better understand the influence of acculturation on substance use among Hispanic youth.Addictive Behaviors 08/2008; 33(7):949-54.

Article: Perceived competence in addressing student substance abuse: a national survey of middle school counselors.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Student substance abuse is a serious concern for middle school personnel. School counselors are most likely to deliver mental health services, including substance abuse, in school settings. However, limited research is available on the perceived competence of middle school counselors for addressing student substance abuse concerns. The main purpose of this study was to determine how middle school counselors perceive their training in 9 competence areas related to student substance abuse. A secondary aim of this study was to identify which training areas counselors indicate as being most needed to address student substance abuse. A survey study was conducted that included a national sample of 283 middle school counselors. Analysis of variance was used to determine differences between 9 competency areas rated by counselors. Further analysis was conducted to determine which training areas were most important to counselors. Counselors varied in their perceived competence depending on the specific area of student substance abuse; however, they were clearly able to identify the most important areas of training needed. Overall, the findings from this study indicate that middle school counselors require more training in the area of student substance abuse. Specifically, this study provides information on the most important areas of training as identified by counselors.Journal of School Health 06/2008; 78(5):280-6.

ABSTRACT: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the factor structure of a modified version of the Stages of Change Readiness and Treatment Eagerness Scale (SOCRATES) for a sample of indigent adults with alcohol and other drug problems. A community sample of 338 adults on waiting lists for entrance into publicly funded substance abuse treatment completed a 19-item modified version of the SOCRATES. Confirmatory factor analyses were conducted on two structural models of the SOCRATES based on prior literature. The results indicated that a two-factor model of the SOCRATES provided the best fit for the data in this study. Suggestions for future research using a modified version of this measure are discussed.Addictive Behaviors 02/2007; 32(1):199-204. DOI:10.1016/j.addbeh.2006.03.039 · 2.44 Impact Factor

Cancer Patients Aid Association: Chanting Lighter
Think twice before lighting up.
Editor's Pick
To encourage people to quit smoking, Ogilvy & Mather India thought of an innovative way to talk to customers at the very moment they decide to light up.
In India, cigarettes are often sold loose at little newsstand-like set ups on the street. These little shops often have lighters so people can light up as and when they want. O&M refitted the lighters so every time someone used them, a Hindu chant that is usually heard when someone dies would play.

A Culinary Crumble — Critical Momentsby Simon Majumdar in Shows, November 12th, 2012
For the next challenge, the Chairman had tasked the remaining nine chefs with re-imagining three of my favorite street foods: falafel, tacos and the Vietnamese banh mi sandwich. These are all dishes that I have sampled many times and because of that, I have very definite opinions on how they should be prepared.
Chef Mehta's decision to take falafel in an Asian direction was an inspired and delicious one. I felt that he succeeded not only in capturing the flavors of all the ingredients, but also all the textures of a terrific falafel sandwich. He was my clear winner.
Far less successful were Chef Falkner, whose plate looked like an artist's impression of where bad pasta goes to die; Chef Estes, whose taco soup was something I have seen quite a few times before and which was overpowered by the flavor of cilantro; and Chef Freitag, whose great flavors were lost in a dish that lacked cohesion.
There was some debate among the judges, but these three fine chefs soon found out that they were all in the Secret Ingredient Showdown and would be preparing a single dish using white bread to stay in the competition. Chef Falkner's Monte Cristo dish showed her at her very best — creative and laser-focused. Chef Freitag also produced a dish that came to our plates directly from her soul.
Chef Estes did not produce a bad offering, but all the judges felt that it was a good dish that used a bit of bread, rather than a dish where the ingredient was the star, and for that reason it was her turn to hear Alton say the words, "I am sorry, but you won't be The Next Iron Chef."

Kukla's Korner Hockey
What To Pay Phaneuf?
by Paul on 10/04/13 at 09:31 AM ET
Comments (1)
from Lyle Richardson at The Hockey News,
The Toronto Maple Leafs avoided losing star forward Phil Kessel to free agency next July by inking him this week to an eight-year, $64-million contract extension.
Now their focus shifts to captain Dion Phaneuf, who's also slated to become an unrestricted free agent next summer.
ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun reported talks between Phaneuf and Leafs management haven't started yet, but could begin soon.
Phaneuf, 28, will be coming off a six-year, $39-million deal he signed with the Calgary Flames before his trade to the Maple Leafs midway through the 2009-10 season.
His critics, however, suggest his performance since joining the Leafs hasn't met the expectations of a top defenseman earning $6.5 million per season.
Though he possesses strong offensive skills and an aggressive physical style, Phaneuf's inconsistency on defense frequently draws criticism from Toronto pundits.

LaCarol Wynne wasn't about to miss the inauguration of President Barack Obama last Tuesday so Monday afternoon she and two others set out from Bedford for Washington D.C.
"It was so overwhelming," she said of the event, which drew an estimated crowd of at close to 2 million people. "We didn't get any sleep, but it was worth it."
Bedford Ride could use some more volunteer drivers, according to Ira Doom, the non-profit's director.
Bedford Ride, which first got rolling in the early autumn of 2001, provides non-emergency medical transportation for people who have trouble getting to medical appointments or to get to a pharmacy to get a prescription filled. Doom is one of the organization's two paid employees. The rest are volunteers. The volunteer drivers use vehicles that are provided, and fueled, by Bedford Ride.
A local band that began in 1977 as the Love of God Singers has been reborn as L.O.G.O.S.
According to Dan Snyder, of Forest, this name was chosen because band members wanted a name with initials that would spell something. L.O.G.O.S spells the Greek word that is translated "Word" in the first chapter of the Gospel of John: "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. (John 1:1)
The Wharton Memorial Foundation and the Bedford Academy for the Arts ended the old year by becoming one. The merger took place in September.
The Wharton Memorial Foundation was formally organized in 1997, according to Fred Duis, the foundation's vice president and a founding member. Its roots go back to the desire to set up a public garden.
Austin Wiese, a 2004 Jefferson Forest High School (JFHS) graduate, decided during his freshman year of high school to seek a career in the armed forces.
"What better way to serve and to defend our nation's values than to be in the military?" he commented.
Wiese said that his paternal grandfather, Colonel William Wiese, was a major influence in that decision. Col. Wiese, an Air Force officer, flew combat missions in Vietnam in the F-105.
Shayne Tracy is a different kind of massage therapist. His clients are big, big as a horse. In fact, they are horses.

Paul D. Helsel, who heads up the Elks organization nationwide, was sure that there would be a line of cars near the Elks National Home full of people hoping his remarks would be brief. He was right. As soon as he pressed the switch that turned on the lights Friday night, a steady stream of cars began rolling into the Elks Home property.
Calvin Rice has worked along the Blue Ridge Parkway for half a century.
He's currently the dining room manager at the Peaks of Otter Lodge.
Rice started working at a service station along the parkway at Otter Creek, near Big Island, right out of high school. This is 28 miles north of the Peaks and the parkway was not yet complete at that time. There was not yet a bridge carrying the road over the James River and motorists, upon reaching that point, had to get off, cross the James elsewhere and then return to the parkway.
Bedford area residents welcomed in the holiday season Saturday as the streets were lined with those attending the Bedford Christmas Parade.
"It's nice to see the community come out," noted Bedford Main Street Executive Director Linda Exley. "The comments were very positive."
The Bedford Historical Society held its annual Hanging of the Greens lunch at the Bedford Historic Meeting House.
Hanging of the Greens is an old English tradition observed in many churches. It marks the beginning of Advent, the period leading up to Christmas. It got its name because of the green wreaths that were hung as decorations for the season. It marks the point when many churches put up their holiday decorations, leaving them up through Epiphany, which comes on Jan. 6 and marks the visit of the Magi to the Christ Child.

I looked around to find this Jenny character she was getting so excited about, but I was the only one on the street. "Jeeeeeeeeeenny!" she yelled again, waving her hand…

I am an East Indian woman (MAC NC45 & NW 43 mix) and I use this as an undereye highlighter and layer it under my concealer. I don't have really bad dark circles but did want to brighten the area and unfortunately my MAC studio finish concealer didn't brighten at all. With this and my concealer, my undereye area looked really pretty and not overdone at all.
Do note that it doesn't work for everyone in my skin tone range. My mother who is the same colouring as me has much darker circles. When I used it on her, it just added a greyish cast.
I also like to use it under my brow bone for a non shimmer highligter, it really perks up the area for the day. Also use it on on the corners of my nose, dark areas at the corners of my mouth and under the lower lip (all under concealer and foundation) and really love how it lightens up the area without being fake.
As for the packaging, I like the stick concept, but wish it was slightly thinner so to get to hard to reach areas. Sharpening it can be a pain as most of the product ends up in the sharpener but I find that freezing it first helps a lot. As for the price, this thing has lasted me over 4 months and I am not even half way through it yet, so the price tag was worth it,

Ive only recently purchased one of these and havent used it very often however Im happy enough with its results. Ive only tried it on the inner and outer corners of my eyes and like how that looks, I will try as a browbone highlighter, and on the very outside of the outer corners of my eyes as suggested by other reviewers.

I love Eye Bright. There are probably other products that do the same thing, but this my original inner-eye brightener and I've been loyal to it. It's so easy to use: just put a dab on the top and bottom of the inner eye and then a line from the outside corner to the outside of the brow and blend. It makes a huge difference! Creamy formula stays put and doesn't get in your eye.

I really do like how this product works. I put a little bit in the inner corners of my eyes towards my nose and also under my brow bone (why buy high brow when this will do the same thing). I'm not sure if I will buy it again because I could have used a pinky eye shadow to do the same thing but as far as eye bright goes it does do what it says so I'll use up the one I have.

I Love EyeBright but it took some practice to get it right. At first it would go on a little flaky because my eye area tends to be dry. I've found that if I first put on my tinted moisturizer and then the EyeBright over it it looks perfect. I've used this after nights of no sleep and people had no idea I had been up all night. Its great. Sephora also sells a sharpener that does a great job sharpening the pencil.

I'm addicted to this stuff and have been using it for several years. I also have most of my friends hooked on it. It is such a good brightener for the eye area. I love to wear it not only under my makeup, but also blended really well when I'm going to the gym and don't necessarily want to wear makeup. It reallyl wakes up the face. I use it everyday and a stick usually lasts me about 4 months. I think this is a great product for the money.

I think some people are using this product wrong - it's not an eyeshadow. It's a highlighter and brightener (hence the name) for the inner and outer corners of your eyes, not the lids. However, the best use for it I've found is to apply it UNDER your eyes where you may have dark circles or shadows (this tip courtesy of my friend who works at Sephora). It brightens up the area perfectly without any shimmer or "reverse raccoon" eyes, however it works best on those of us with lighter skin. Because it's pink it doesn't turn grey like a lot of traditional concealers do, and it lasts all day. It also works great as an under-brow highlighter if you don't have High Brow (which is also excellent). This is a staple in my mu bag. I've repurchased many times and will continue to do so because I haven't found anything cheaper that works as well.

Sephora Backstage: Carmindy's 5 Minute Face by SephoraEditor

BROCKWAY — Wednesday night, more than 150 people attended a public hearing to voice their concerns about a gas company's proposal to drill in Brockway borough.
Sen. Joe Scarnati (R-25), state Rep. Sam Smith (R-66) and state Rep. Matt Gabler (R-78), called the meeting to give Brockway residents the opportunity to get answers from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and Flatirons Resources, the company whose proposal has caused dissatisfaction for local residents.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — There were no citations, only warnings: Pennsylvania's new laws regarding teenage drivers have changed, and unless they are in compliance, they will be cited.
Thursday, Punxsutawney Borough Police officers, Pennsylvania State Police troopers and representatives from PennDOT performed a detail during dismissal at Punxsutawney Area High School, handing out literature about the new law — Act 81, which took effect Dec. 27, 2011 — and to check for seatbelt usage among departing students.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Wednesday marked the beginning of the Lenten season for Roman Catholics around the world.
For the next six weeks, Msgr. Joseph Riccardo, of the Ss. Cosmas & Damian parish, is asking his parishioners and all Catholics to remove the growing number of distractions that usually inhibit a person of faith from making a full commitment to the Lenten season.
"It's a hectic world, and we're distracted by many things," he said. "We have a lot of responsibilities and commitments, and unfortunately, that also serves as a distraction to the practice of our faith."
Jake (played by Dan McGinley) pauses a minute with "The Mollies:" Grown daughter Molly (Kimberly Robinson, right) and Molly as a 12-year-old (Elissa Hill, left) in this scene from "Jake's Women" by Neil Simon. The Punxsutawney Theatre Arts Guild's first production of 2012 begins at 7:30 p.m. Friday and runs again Saturday, as well as March 2 and 3, in the auditorium at Punxsutawney Area Middle School. Tickets are available at the door. This dramatic comedy is intended for mature audiences and contains some adult language and situations. (Photo by Tom Chapin)
BELL TOWNSHIP — A Punxsutawney woman was flown by emergency medical helicopter to an area trauma center following a one-vehicle accident that occurred at 6:45 a.m. Wednesday on Bells-Cloe Road, Bell Township, along with a rash of other accidents due to icy road conditions.
BROCKWAY — Wednesday, the Shale debate came into clear focus as residents of the Borough of Brockway expressed their concerns about a proposal by Flatirons Resources to drill a well in the borough.
Residents were given this opportunity at a public meeting that took place at the urging of Sen. Joe Scarnati (R-25), state Rep. Sam Smith (R-66) and state Rep. Matt Gabler (R-78).
HARRISBURG — As if there were any doubts, Punxsutawney Phil again sits as the only Pennsylvania groundhog that matters, as his lottery-pitching wannabe has apparently scratched his last ticket.
Tuesday, during a hearing on the state Department of Revenue budget, Pennsylvania Lottery Executive Director Todd Rucci said that the lottery has pulled the plug on spokesgroundhog Gus, dubbed "The Second-Most Famous Groundhog in Pennsylvania."
Rucci said that the TV campaign featuring Gus ended this month, although Gus will still appear on the lottery's Web site for a period of time.
HARRISBURG — Despite the lack of snow, winter maintenance and snow removal in this area, most municipalities have met the minimum requirements regarding their salt procurement contract through COSTARS, Pennsylvania's cooperative purchasing program.
"Through the state contract, a municipality tells COSTARS what its expected needs are, and the contract is flexible that they only have to purchase 60 percent of what it needs," said Bruce Beardsley, manager of Marketing and Constituent Relations for COSTARS.
BIG RUN — A newly-elected member of Big Run Borough Council walked through Veterans' Park recently, and he didn't like what he observed.
"I walked through the park, and it's in bad shape," said Stan Derise, chairman of the council's Park Committee.
He said there was only one swing left on the sets, and the rest of the chains are wrapped around the cross bar at the top.
"It's not viable to put swings out there anymore," Derise said, adding that there's an old park bench that should be removed.
GLEN CAMPBELL — While this town of just over 300 people may not be listed among those sites for famous artists, Glen Campbell is the home of one local artist and retired teacher serving as president of a nationwide organization dedicated to advancing the cause of fine arts in America.
"I was reluctant to take the position," said Larry Mallory, of Glen Campbell, who added that his biggest issue has always been the distance from Glen Campbell to New York City. But he realized being president of a prestigious art association is not something that happens every day, so he accepted.

Years ago as a new mom living on a social service salary, I desperately needed affordable child care for my son so that I could continue to work full time. Family members on either side were out of town and no one was available for us to tap into. A colleague told me about a wonderful program that JCFS (than JCB) was running offering specialized home daycare to those who qualified at an amazing low cost weekly fee! I made a call, filled out some paperwork and after agreeing to seeing a counselor consistently to discuss early parenting challenges I might be encountering, my son was able to attend a nurturing, home day care environment 5 days a week for the next year and a half! That program was a blessing for me and my family and my child got such loving, consistent care there. I will always be grateful!

The Day. The Reason. Reprise.
We had been hearing for months that we would want to spend two days at the Creation Museum, so after bidding a fond farewell to Barb Sims, Night Flyer, Ronnie, and all of Cornerstone Farm, we packed up and headed back to Petersburg, KY for round two at the Museum. We dubbed this Adventure Day.
Eric needed little persuading ...
The Day, The Reason
... of life which flowed from the sound of God's voice, moving to experiencing the seduction of Satan and the rebellion of man, we watched the destruction of the wicked and the creating of nations, and finally saw the coming of Christ and were reminded of the time when He will come again. Although not every question is answered, history truly does pull into focus through the seven lenses or "C's" of history. ...

Backstory: High school counselors run custom cookie business out of Raleigh home
Owners of Southern Sugar Bakery consider smiles to be the sweet rewards of their labor.
Christin Kubasko and Angie Tucker are the co-owners and sole employees of the home-based custom cookie business.
The two friends, both school counselors, started the company last year when they found baking to be a rewarding hobby. Now, they're figuring out how to balance their day jobs while meeting a growing demand for their cookies.
The two met in 2005 when Tucker, now 34, led a high school Bible study group that Kubasko, now 26, was in.
They became friends and Kubasko went on to follow Tucker's path into high school counseling.
Growing up, Kubasko always had a knack for baking. After sharing her cookies with friends, she received requests to buy them for events.
While working as a counseling intern with Tucker, Kubasko received a request for 300 cookies for a wedding.
"At that point, 300 cookies was crazy," Kubasko said. "I had been doing maybe one or two dozen a week."
Tucker offered to help and the women worked after school to get the job done. Kubasko taught Tucker, a baking novice, how to make the dough and icing from scratch.
Kubasko eventually became a full-time counselor at Fuquay-Varina High School. Tucker, a mother of three who works part time at St. David's School in Raleigh, encouraged Kubasko to do more with her baking.
The friends started Southern Sugar Bakery in February 2013 after the N.C. Department of Agriculture inspected Tucker's kitchen, the bakery's home base. The bakery received its first official order on Valentine's Day 2013.
They made a Facebook page to centralize the ordering process and had 1,000 likes in the first week.
Southern Weddings Magazine featured their cookies. Time Warner Cable featured the company in its "Made in the Carolinas" series. The bakery sold 3,000 cookies at last year's North Hills Christmas Tree Lighting.
"We went from 300 a week to 3,000, a year later," Kubasko said.
Now they are selling up to 25 dozen cookies a week and having to turn away orders. They can make cookies of any shape or image – even people's faces, down to the beard stubble, Tucker said.
They bake together, singing country music while they work, with Tucker responsible for making and handling the dough while Kubasko adds the finishing touches
Cookies cost $36.72 for a basic baker's dozen; complicated designs, like monograms or characters, cost more.
Tucker recently increased their baking space by converting her dining room into a "cookie room," complete with drying racks, baskets of food coloring and jars of flour.
Kubasko and Tucker work on their business part-time during the school year and take on more orders during their summers off.
The owners are now considering if and when they want to devote more time to baking and building their business.
"It's scary to go out on your own, but we don't want fear to keep us from doing what we feel led to do," Kubasko said.

purple cone flower
I have p cone flower in the garden for 3 years now.I thought that it should be in bloom by now. They haven't bloomed yet. Is this to be expected? It seems late.
Thanks for any comments.
Not sure what zone but in NE Iowa.I also had them bloom the first year and every year after. I planted them in with a prairie mix from Ion exchagge. Some black eyed susan and 1 or 2 others, I just had thought that they bloomed earlier but maybe not. Plot is 600 sq feet next to same size vegtable garden. It would be fine by me if they took over flower patch as long as they did not get into vegtables. They have stayed in bloom sveral weeks and I really like them
Hi! Mine are just starting. I've uploaded a 2 pics (one from a week ago, and one today), for you to compare with.

Triad textile innovations are anywhere and every wear
- Katie Arcieri
- Reporter- Triad Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | LinkedIn
Just about everyone wants clothes that make them look and feel cool. At Hanesbrands, that strategy is quite literal, incorporating cooling technology into underwear and athletic apparel. Others, from VF Corp. to Cone Denim and Unifi, also are developing a host of fabrics and jeans that provide a more comfortable and stylish cut.
Of course, innovation has always been in the DNA of Triad apparel companies, but they are increasingly focused on strategies to gain market share from pickier-than-ever consumers who may be willing to pay more for novel products even amid an ever-expanding menu of choices.
"Many times there is a big payoff," says Don Jud, a local economist. "A firm that is able to figure out what people want can reach big returns."
Unlike smaller firms, larger companies such as VF have an advantage when it comes to innovation because they can afford to take bigger risks, Jud says.
"They can take more risks because they have a wider product mix and more eggs in their basket," he says.
Push to innovate
Local textile companies are pushing innovation through a range of strategies, from incorporating technology in existing apparel categories to creating research incubators (see sidebar, page 12) to come up with fresh ideas.
Scott Baxter, vice president of VF Corp. and group president for Jeanswear Americas and Imagewear, says that the goal of the company's new jeanswear incubator expected to be operational during the first half of 2014 is to generate denim ideas that will bring more comfort and style to consumers.
"With jeans and with denim, people constantly want to have better fabrics, better washes, vibrant colors," Baxter says. Consumers also want to feel good about what they are wearing. "If your jeans fit well, you have confidence."
Baxter says VF has a great opportunity to capitalize on innovation within the jeanswear category, especially now that it is becoming socially acceptable to wear denim at times and places other than on the weekends. VF also has an opportunity to create more comfortable jeans for people who work in outdoor trade environments whether it's a construction site, a ranch or a farm, he says.
The company is already expanding on that opportunity with its Wrangler brand. For example, the team responsible for the development of an "advanced comfort jean" launched this summer works from Wrangler's Greensboro headquarters at 400 N. Elm St. The jeans product is an addition to the company's premium performance cowboy cut collection and is billed as having a "unique blend of fibers that results in denim that moves with the body for extreme comfort that lasts two-times longer."
In Winston-Salem, Hanesbrands also is focused on new product innovation. Richard Noll, the company's chairman and CEO, said in a conference call in August that Hanesbrands is continuing to drive "big core innovations" that, coupled with its supply chain leverage, will expand margins as part of its "innovate to elevate" strategy.
Noll noted that the company is working on driving growth and innovation for three specific products: ComfortBlend, which is bringing performance fabrics to the underwear category; X-Temp, which is cooling technology in the underwear and activewear categories; and Smart Sizes technology that provides "superior fit and comfort for women."
"These are the kind of innovations that consumers are willing to pay more for and over time allow us to continue to grow that category and expand our margins," Noll said.
Unifi Inc., a Greensboro-based yarn maker, already has a slew of innovative products ranging from its Sorbtek moisture-wicking fabric to the Repreve recycled product manufactured in Yadkinville.
But the company is now working on several fabric technologies that will be launched during the next three to six months, says Jay Hertwig, Unifi's vice president of global brand sales and marketing.
Hertwig declined to detail the nature of the products, but they are part of Unifi's larger plan to be more competitive outside of the market for commodities, which are less differentiated products.
To drive growth, Unifi is investing $14 million during the next two years on growth initiatives for its portfolio of premier value-added (PVA) products. The goal is to create product materials that customers will pay more for whether they provide stretch, color-retention or drying and moisture-wicking properties, Hertwig says.
Unifi is also working to offer Sorbtek as a staple fiber in 2014. Doing so will not only allow the company to enter the product into the spun yarn market but also expand Sorbtek's end-user base to a variety of products such as men's casual and dress pants, and performance wear applications such as T-shirts.
"Innovation is the only platform that Unifi has to grow on," Hertwig says. "These are all products that are value-added."

Houston, TX (PRWEB) November 09, 2012
The mini report compiles market analysis and surveys with over 200 NGV executives, interviews with market leading companies, business model overviews and keynote presentations from industry events into one easy to read and consume fact pack providing you with a great overview of the current state of the NGV infrastructure market in the US.
The Natural Gas Vehicle Market in North America has gained tremendous momentum over the past year. With Fleet Operators, Natural Gas Utilities and C-Stores alike investing hundreds of millions of dollars to develop infrastructure and switch their fleets to Natural Gas. Support at the state and federal level is stronger than it has ever been with a series of states and cities implementing policies and providing investment to help fuel the development of the NGV industry nationwide. Whats becoming increasingly clear to all stakeholders is that NGVs are here to stay, and not only that, they are increasingly seen as the most realistic alternative fuel to Diesel to power North Americas transportation market.
However what is also clear is that the main hurdle impacting the wider adoption and growth of this market is a lack of refuelling infrastructure availability.
