It should come as no surprise that Ruckus Pizza, Pasta & Spirits, which opened its Morrisville location in Park West Shopping Center last April, would win the Maggy Award for Best New Restaurant.
After all, the eatery has already developed a loyal customer base at its popular Cary outpost in Tryon Woods. Even before that, the original store in Raleigh's Mission Valley was quite the haunt for those seeking quality pizza and beer.
The brainchild of longtime N.C. State friends Robert and Ashley Royster and Ryan and Amy Pilz, Ruckus has evolved from a lone college hangout pizza joint to several full-service, family-friendly neighborhood restaurants.
Sushi rolls like these are prepared with precision and flair by bona fide sushi chef Hoang Nguyen.
The 4,700-square-foot Morrisville store marks the largest and most innovative Ruckus to date, replete with sprawling bar area and comfortable indoor dining room. What's more, a
spacious covered patio provides patrons the chance to dine outside and enjoy live music, wine tastings, beer dinners and numerous other activities.
The newest Ruckus showcases flavorsome menu items like the signature Spicy Chicken Alfredo, Mama's Cannelloni, Ruckus Sashimi Chopped Salad and a distinctive 24-inch pizza that will feed a whole family.
Among the most significant new menu offerings is fresh sushi, which is made to order by sushi chef Hoang Nguyen, a native of Vietnam. Inventive rolls like the seaweed-topped Oscar the Grouch and seared scallop Wolfpack are served up with artful flair.
"Sushi is such a great dining option, so we want our customers to enjoy it in the Ruckus context," Ryan Pilz explained.
Virtually all food is scratch-made and delivered by eager-to-please servers who make you feel welcome and appreciated.
"We care about every dish that comes out of our kitchen," Robert Royster said. "Whether it's the mac and cheese for the kids or the pasta dishes for the parents, we are dedicated to exceeding the expectations of each customer. We also take pride in knowing many of our
customers by name, so they get a real sense of community when they come in."
Service with a smile is what you'll find at Ruckus, as evidenced here by servers Ashley Nichols (left) and Lauren Moore.
Even more impressive than the food and service at Ruckus is the staff's commitment to altruistic, community- oriented ventures. Events like the annual St. Baldrick's fundraiser to fight childhood cancer and the "Raising a Ruckus" initiative to provide gifts to needy
local families at Christmastime have raised more than $150,000 in charitable contributions in recent years.
Weekly "Give Back" nights provide a portion of an evening's proceeds to benefit local charities, school bands or other nonprofit ventures.
"We have a tremendous opportunity to help the community that supports us, and our staff and guests totally support the efforts," said Pilz. "It is great to see the passion and rewards that come from helping others."
Royster explained that Ruckus is also committed to environmental responsibility, and the new restaurant installed energy-efficient lighting manufactured by Cree, a local LED lighting manufacturer.
"It's important for us to maintain a small carbon footprint all while providing our customers the best possible dining experience," Pilz said. "It's about ensuring good times, great food and cold beer."
Not surprised. We have been loyal ruckusites since it was a local dive for great pizza and cold brew. Proud to see a friendly company get the recognition they deserve.
I love this restaurant! Its no surprise that they've won all of these awards. There's nothing dissappointing about this place - diverse menu, awesome outdoor seating, and the best staff around. Congrats!

Ga. police K-9 gets body camera
The video camera will be mounted on K-9 Ergo and record footage from between his ears
By PoliceOne Staff
WARNER ROBINS, Ga. — Police are outfitting one of their K-9s with an attachable camera that will let them see from the dog's view.
Warner Robins police told The Telegraph the $8,000 camera will be mounted on a vest worn by K-9 Ergo and will record footage from between his ears.
The K-9 handler attaches a portable viewing screen to his wrist to see what the dog does, police spokeswoman Tabitha Pugh said.

End of second period: Red Wings 3, Ducks 2
Wow. This should be some third period coming up.
The Ducks were looking at a two-goal deficit going into the third but got a power play goal from Corey Perry at 17:12.
Detroit had taken a 3-1 lead on a goal by Mikael Samuelsson, who put in a rebound after Pavel Datsyuk's attempt slid out in front of the net.
Teemu Selanne pulled the Ducks to 2-1 when he slipped the puck into an open net after Ryan Whitney's rebound trickled down near the goal post.
Both teams had 5-on-3 power plays but could not convert.
The Ducks outshot Detroit, 14-8.
Ducks coach Randy Carlyle, searching for some offense, briefly put Bobby Ryan with Selanne and Ryan Carter.

Gee, ya think?Hide replies
Finally we agree on something.
Who would have guessed!Hide replies
Wisconsin has one of the most steeply progessive income tax rates in the nation.
The proposal seems to be that everyone's income tax (except for those with an AGI over $200,000.) will pay about 2.2% less taxes.
That is, if you paid $100.00 in taxes last year then under this proposal you'll pay $97.80 under this proposal.
The Journal-Sentinel could have presented it that way, but that wouldn't make it as easy to demogogue the issue.
For all the corruption in Illinois, they still have a flat state tax with so few deductions that it's easier to fill out the form than to use software to do it for you.
If you and the CEO both receive a five percent raise, is that somehow unfair- because the CEO makes more than you?
Hard to believe the top 20% aren't getting more considering they pay 90% of the taxes.Hide replies
Think a flat rate across the board is a "fair" as we can get.
It makes sense to pay a majority of the taxes when you make a majority of the money.
73.2% of all statistics are made up.
balance the budget SOLELY on the backs of govt workers ... including retirees who have NO way to make up the increased costs of health care on fixed incomes .... then give the $$$ to the top 20%
Makes cents to me !!!Hide replies
Balanced the budget in the only places it could be balanced. Entitlements and government jobs. The key is he balanced the budget instead of running a deficit that wasn't sustainable. If folks think they should have better, get a job or find some other source of income. Taxpayer entitlement programs are clearly not a reliable or sustainable way to ensure your standard of living. The current federal debacle should be a clear indication of this.
more bs
again, retirees on fixed incomes took it on the chin ... they gave up wages over long careers for the benefits they receive in retirement. an 80 year old widow can't find a job ...and I know one who can barely walk and get around, as well as struggles with increased costs.
more cold hearted, selfish crap
airider - the "balanced" budget is a fallacy.
He refinanced our debt - instead of paying off bills that were due last year, he borrowed $558 MILLION with INTEREST of $156 million.
The link below has a link to the official state Legislative Fiscal Bureau memo detailing the debt.
File this under "No S***, Sherlock", who do you think pays most of the taxes?
If taxes were going up instead of down, who do you think would pay most of it?Hide replies
Not those with the most money!
Why is this news or do people need to go back to school? If taxes are lowered on everyone at a fixed percentage rate, each earner will pay less taxes at that same rate. Low income earners will pay 2.2% less...high income earners will pay 2.2% less as well. The fact that these dollars amounts are different shouldn't surprise anybody. If it does, go back to school.Hide replies
Jason Stein seemed surprised, or maybe it was me.
I guess because people are foolish enough to actually believe the words that come out of Scott Walker's mouth - you know, the ones where he says this will benefit the middle class, when that is farthest from the truth.
Workers keep taking it on the chin. They see NO income from increased productivity gains, all of which go to the top. Insult to injury, the top 20% then takes most of the tax relief....Hide replies
Maybe they'd like my tax bill, instead.
Maybe they'd like my tax bill, instead.
Lets trade straight up, your income and tax bill for mine.
Go back to school...please!
Jason, are you serious? Instead of your catchy anti-scott walker headline, can we just title this "tax code 101". Anyone with a brain who knows how the tax code should understand this.
Plus, HALF of americans pay NO income tax, so that only leaves the "top" 50% getting all the tax break cause they are the only ones paying taxes. So its probably not a stretch of the mind to realize that the top 20% are getting half of the that.
Nice attempt at a Walker hit piece....Hide replies
Then Scott Walker needs to stop spouting off lies when he introduces these things -- you know, where he said it's all about helping the middle class.
Commy - at least half of the middle class would fall into those that do not pay taxes! If you say that the middle class is the middle 50%, then that is everyone from the 25th percentile to the 75th percentile. Many who fall in this range (roughly half of them, pay no income taxes)
Hey "north2south" I notice that the same 20 people seem to be complaining again about anything that is Walker's plans. Must be a bunch of unemployed lefties that don't have anything better to do.
WALKER - the political sociopathic plutocratHide replies
HRC - name calling again, so sad..................
How in the world can anyone defend this?
According to the chart, everybody's taxes would go down. Do you think they should be going the other way?
yes, taxes on the upper 20% of earners should be going up. They've reaped the benefits of deregulation for far too long, and it's time to pay the bill.
Well then what about the lowest 20% of earners? They've reaped the benefits of the tax code without paying in themselves. Isn't it time they start paying their fair share too?
attc44: What benefits? It is a well known fact that the middle class and poor have had stagnating wages for the past 20 years while their productivity has gone up. The lowest 20% (and middle class) have been working harder (higher worker productivity) and haven't seen a dime of it. Guess who is seeing all that money? I'll give you a hint: They are paying politicians to get more tax cuts for themselves.
I probably shouldn't have labeled the people I'm talking about as "earners". Leeches probably would have been more appropriate.

HEY! (I thought about just ending the intro right here. Ultimate mic drop moment. However, for the four people that enjoy reading this part – including my mother – I'll carry on. Note: My mother doesn't read about fantasy baseball.)
Whether it was just to get the attention of Norm McDonald or Colin Quinn, or subtly acted as a harbinger of the attention the Cubs would garner nearly two decades later, the hilarious announcement of 'HEY!' by Will Ferrell in character as Harry Caray could be a banner for the 2016 Cubbies. Hey! Pay attention! They're really freaking good (as you all are aware). And not going anywhere. Including this week.
I heard summers in Chicago were beautiful. Then I heard they were miserable. Whenever the wind isn't blowing off Lake Michigan Chicago turns into a stagnant city in desperate need of some fresh breath. Well, don't worry ChiTown, because for the final week in June and start of July your fresh breath is coming. The WINdy City will earn its name through the trio of Two-Start Pitchers that will take the mound. And yep, I'm even including the ugly step-child White Sox and their Ace so far this year (Gasp…but wait, Chris Sale isn't throwing twice this week!?! Uh huh, you're quite the observant one, aren't cha?) But even more than Jose Quintana, the Cubs Cy Young runners-up (no one is stopping Clayton Kershaw's path to winning the Iron Throne) headline the list of Two-Start options for Week 13. Get ready for more Harry Caray proclamations!Please, blog, may I have some more?

SPOILER ALERT: Dancing, disaster and a shocking new arrival: Sandra Oh's Cristina leaves Grey's Anatomy in explosive season finale
There were tears - and dancing.
Dr Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) finally bowed out of Grey's Anatomy as season 10 came to an end in an emotional and action-packed episode.
The actress, one of the original stars of the hit ABC medical drama, headed to Zurich - but not before a suspected terrorist attack rocks Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
Saying goodbye: The tenth season finale of Grey's Anatomy aired on Thursday and marked Sandra Oh's last episode
And the future between Dr Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) and Dr Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) looks to be shaky, while Dr Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr) learns he may be working alongside his secret daughter.
The hour-long episode opened with Yang checking the weather after spending the night with ex-husband Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd).
'I can't put off Zurich any more,' she told him.
'So this is goodbye then?' he asks her as she hurriedly dresses.
'Last night wasn't enough?' he said cheekily.
But she realizes her phone is dead and she needs to get a European charger, so she makes plans to go to the mall and tells Owen she will see him back at the hospital later.
Emotional: Cristina and Meredith said farewell - but not before one final dance together
Best friends: After lots of trouble getting Cristina to go, she left once she'd danced to Tegan and Sara
'The point is, you never know what kind of day is coming,' she said in a voiceover.
Meanwhile Derek comes home from a trip to Meredith, who is feeding one of their kids as he tells her they've landed a dream town house for them when he starts his new job in DC.
And Dr Bailey (Chandra Wilson) gets annoyed when she learns her human genome mapping project will be shut down because of a lack of funding, despite her saying she has been getting great results with her 'bubble boy' patient, Braden.
'Two years ago I was wiping your butt, and you want to do this to me?' she asked Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams) when he gave her the bad news.
Surgeon Dr April Kepner (Sarah Drew) tells Owen that she is pregnant.
'I will work until it drops out of me,' she tells him, worried that it will disrupt his schedule.
Out with a bang: There was an explosion at the local mall, where Cristina had said she was heading
Thank god: Although she was missing for a long time, Cristina was OK, and came into the hospital to help the injured
'I'm happy for you!' he told her.
But the happy news was quickly cut short as news reports of a massive explosion at a local Seattle mall began to filter in.
'Is this an act of terrorism?' the newscaster asked as panic ensued.
Owen told reporters that victims were presenting with blisters, sparking fears it was a chemical attack as decontamination processes began behind him.
And his voice faltered when he tried to advise people what to do if they were looking for loved ones, as he realized Cristina had said she was heading to that mall.
As bodies were decontaminated he was approached by homeland security who wanted to talk to a specific patient. He tried to call Cristina but got her voicemail.
Love lost: Cristina and Owen spent the night together at his trailer, but she wanted to say a proper goodbye
Hard to say goodbye: The on/off couple had rekindled their romance, but only until Cristina left for Switzerland
'You've got to be freaking kidding me,' Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) told him when he learned she might have been there when the attack happened.
One mother was covered in blisters and burns and began to freak out when her husband told her he couldn't find their son, Leo.
And another pregnant woman - a surrogate - was wheeled into the hospital, causing more headaches for the medics.
Meanwhile Shepherd arrived and tried to take over from his sister Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone).
As fears of terrorism grew, homeland security chiefs began to question one male student.
'What was in your friend's backpack?' he barked at him.
Dr Grey tried to stop him from taking the patient away for further questioning.
Scare tactics: The explosion was rumoured to be a terrorist attack, and there were suggestions that whoever was behind it was planning on blowing up the hospital
Not a pretty sight: While Heather was leaving after being told she is not a surgeon, she still helped save a man's eye
'We don't know if this is over yet,' the agent told her as the patient collapsed.
'I'm the boss in here. Get out of my way,' she told him.
Dr Karev furiously tried to revive a young boy - as Cristina suddenly arrived to help. 'Oh my God, you're here,' he said.
'Of course I'm here,' she replied - explaining she hadn't had time to go to the mall, as she told him to cut open the youngster. 'Oh my God,' she said as reality set in. 'I was going to go the mall.'
Later reporters said officials wanted to quiz two men seen walking inside with backpacks before the explosion.
And some wondered if the hospital itself was the ultimate target of terrorists - sending victims there before launching another more serious attack.
'I love you': Meredith's goodbye was typical of her friendship with Cristina; sweet, honest and no-nonsense
'He is not the sun. You are': Cristina's final word to Meredith is to tell her not to just do what Derek wants
'Turn that TV off,' someone yelled in a bid to stop the panic before Dr Leah Murphy (Tessa Ferrer) arrived to help.
In surgery, the pregnant woman's waters broke and the baby was in distress, sparking fears they may have to deliver the child prematurely.
'They blew up Seattle, I can't leave,' Cristina tells Dr Grey as she asks why she's not left yet.
'You should. No-one has a beef with Switzerland,' she told her as she revealed she and Shepherd were going to DC.
'I'm happy for you,' she told Meredith, hugging her.
Meanwhile a man with a grossly protruding eye had no idea what he looked like, as Leah tried to help him, squeezing his eye back into place, and bringing the patient's vision back.
Losing her patience: Meredith kept trying to hurry Cristina to catch her plane, but Cristina thought she was not yet 'finished' at Grey-Sloan Memorial
Like a big brother: Derek was the first person Cristina said goodbye to once and for all
Owen caught a glimpse of Cristina, fighting his way through patients to try and talk to her. But she vanishes after hearing news that a heart has come in for one of her transplant patients.
The TV news then began to report that the victims may be suffering from radiation sickness as the result of a 'dirty' bomb.
So Owen jumped into the shot and told the hapless reporter: 'The fact is you don't know. 'You are lying to them. So stop wondering out loud. Stop scaring people for no reason.' He then switched off the live feed.
In the operating room Cristina jokes with Karev telling him he'll never be as good as her.
But she praises his skills as she tries to dissuade him from joining the private practise position he accepted.
She then insists she will do the pediatric heart transplant.
Like proud parents: Webber and Bailey wished their protegee well ahead of her new adventure
Take me too! Shane Ross also leaves, begging his favourite teacher and former flame Cristina to take him with her
'I'm going to miss you,' Karev says as she tells Shane (Gaius Charles) to sew up the patient.
Meanwhile an emotional Avery cuts the umbilical cord as he delivers the baby in another operating room.
Dr Grey again clashes with the agents over her sick patient, whom they want to question about the attacks.
But he gets a call and is no longer interested in talking to the young man. 'Don't you think you owe him an apology?' she asks.
'Doctor, you have a very tough job keeping people alive. I do too,' he told her.
News reports then revealed that the explosion had been caused by a gas leak - not a terrorist threat.
This is it: They didn't get a proper goodbye, but the final look between Cristina and Owen said everything
She made it: At the end of the episode, we see Cristina in Switzerland with Shane at her new surgery
'It changes nothing,' Owen said as Cristina's heart transplant patient arrived, confirming to him that she was OK.
Dr Kepner thinks she has found Leo but it's not him.
She begins to cry because she doesn't want to live in a world where her child could die 'going to buy new shoes'.
But mother-in-law Dr Catherine Avery (Debbie Allen) talks her down. 'It's the fear [that defeats you],' she told her.
Meredith tells Cristina that she still needs to leave - because there was no terrorist attack after all.
She said she still had to do her heart transplant.
"I have to finish something here. None of it feels finished,' Cristina tells her. 'Owen and I, we split.
'You and I are not finished. Nothing is finished. I am not finished.'
Trouble in paradise: Derek and Meredith have a big row at the end of the episode about their future
Not on the same page: Meredith didn't want to sign the papers meaning she would move to Washington, D.C.
'You don't feel finished because this isn't the end for you,' Meredith tells her, as both of them cry. 'There is no finish line. There is no end point. You just have to go.'
'I know. I keep trying to, but I don't know how to just do it. You gotta help me, Mer,' she said as an acoustic version of A-Ha's Take On Me played in the background.
The donor heart is delayed - giving Cristina no more excuses to stay.
'Derek. Goodbye,' she tells Shepherd as she runs into him outside. 'Goodbye,' he says before giving her a hug.
After no more patients come in Dr Murphy finishes up, takes off her scrubs and walks off outside, while Dr Bailey fights with Webber over the decision to close down her lab project.
'Some people belong behind a microscope. You don't. You are a surgeon, Bailey,' he tells her before telling her that he is recommending her for the seat on the board left vacant by Cristina's departure, before Cristina interrupts them to say goodbye.
A new life: Derek wants the couple to move for his work with the government, but Mer believes her life is in Seattle
Ooh la la: Along with all the emotion, there was also some eye candy in the form of a shirtless Owen in bed
'Can I come with you?' Shane asks her. 'I want to be in charge of my education and I choose you.'
When she agrees he tells Webber: 'I quit. Respectfully.'
'Want to grab anything else on the way out? CT machine?' Bailey joked as Cristina hugs her, then Webber.
'I'm proud of you,' he tells her as Meredith tries to hurry her up.
But she has one last goodbye to say - to Owen who is in the middle of surgery.
She taps on the room's window as he looks up at her with tears in his eyes before he goes back to work.
As she tries to get a cab one pulls up - with a medic carrying the heart for her patient.
New arrival: Dr. Pierce joins the cast as the new head of cardio at the hospital
Shocking twist: Dr. Pierce reveals that she was adopted, and found out her biological mother was Meredith's mother Ellis Grey, suggesting Webber might be her father
But Meredith steps in to insist she leaves and hustles her into the taxi.
'What do you need, an 'I love you' or something?' Meredith asks. 'I love you. Call me when you get there.'
They wave to one another as Cristina drives off for the last time. Meredith and Amelia talk - as Cristina suddenly reappears.
'I can't go,' she says, dragging Meredith off. 'We have to finish.'
She grabs Meredith and says, 'We have to dance it out. That's how we finish,' she tells her.
As Meredith finds a song - Tegan and Sara's Where Does the Good Go - Cristina tells her: 'Don't be a hero. You're my person. I need you alive. You make me brave. OK, now we dance it out.'
High hopes: After being told by Hunt that she is likely to become a board member, Bailey and her husband plan for the future
Is he heading back to Grey-Sloan?: However Cristina has left her share in the hospital to Alex Karev
The pair then dance about like a couple of goofy teenagers in slow motion.
'I got to go,' she says. 'You stay here, OK? You are a gifted surgeon with an extraordinary mind.
Don't let what he wants eclipse what you need. He's very dreamy but he is not the sun. You are,' she says of Dr Shepherd.
Later she is back at home as he asks her if she's signed the papers for their move to DC.
'I think I need to stay here,' she tells him. The pair later row about his 'once in a lifetime' opportunity.
'It's not what I signed up for,' she said, telling him he thinks his career is more important than hers.
'We're talking about my life,' she said. 'I live here. My life is here. I don't want to leave. I am staying here.'
Mother-to-be: April Kepner, who is pregnant, was terrified of bringing a child into a world full of fear and pain
All better: In the end, newlyweds April and Jackson couldn't wait for their little boy or girl to be born
Later the couple whose surrogate was injured arrive to meet their baby as Dr Torres (Sara Ramirez) and wife Dr Robbins (Jessica Capshaw) kiss.
And Kepner and husband Avery embrace as they think of the future with their baby.
And there's more good news for Cristina's heart patient whose surgery appears to have been a success as Owen watches on.
Bailey meanwhile gets excited about her new job. 'We can have a geno theme park,' she tells her husband as he massages her feet.
But Karev then discovers that Cristina has left him her shares in the hospital and her seat on the board.
And new head of cardio Dr Pierce tells Webber that she has had a crazy start to the job.
And she reveals that she was adopted - only to discover that her late mother was a surgeon at the hospital.
Bringing life into the world: Jackson was thrilled after he delivered a premature baby and it was healthy
Exploring their options: It seems Callie and Arizona might look into surrogacy after struggling to get pregnant
'Her name was all over this hospital. It's not WHY I took the job,' she told him.
'What was her name? Your birth mother?' he asks.
'Ellis Grey. Did you know her?' she asks as he looks stunned, not knowing he had an affair with her, the mother of Meredith, and could be the newcomer's father.
'Sometimes the future changes quickly and completely. And we're left only with the choice of what to do next.
'We can choose to be afraid of it, to stand there trembling, not moving, assuming the worst that can happen.
'Or we step forward into the unknown and assume it will be brilliant,' Cristina says in a voiceover as the camera shows her at her new desk in Zurich as Shane comes in.
'Let's do it,' she says as the door closes, reading Dr Cristina Yang - Director of Cardiothoracic Surgery.

MST Systems used the Harris Inscriber RTX HD graphics platform to provide all the graphics for coverage of the 36th Ryder Cup Tournament from Dublin, Ireland, last month.
The 20-year veteran of sports graphics used the Inscriber RTX HD system for worldwide and domestic feeds on behalf of a number of broadcasters, including the BBC, Sky Sports and Ireland's public service broadcaster, RTE.
Throughout the three-day event, MST Systems used the RTX HD system, controlled by MST Systems' own software, to provide up-to-date player statistics and score information live from the course. Tournament information was displayed in a multitude of colors, styles and fonts via 3-D animations.
According to MST Systems senior software developer Stuart Paterson, the Inscriber RTX HD system can deliver real-time effects without needing to render, allowing the company to "work 'on the fly' to provide the continuous graphics output."
The Inscriber RTX HD graphics platform lets broadcasters create their own custom broadcast solutions. A powerful development tool, the RTX HD platform lets users create layouts consisting of advanced design elements, such as 3-D animation, multiple layering, live and digital video and data from multiple sources, using common programming languages.
For the Ryder Cup, MST Systems purchased an additional eight RTX HD systems to deliver a full HD broadcast.

Hi Everyone!
Wow, such a large RSVP list! The capacity of the Forbidden Island is 104 people, so I've had to cap the RSVP limit. The folks at Forbidden Island are more than happy to accomodate us, but they caution that the wait time for drinks may be long! (But, imo, worth the wait.)
As mentioned by Erica below-- bring your warm coat as we may need to overflow to the back patio!
See you soon!

This course assumes no logging knowledge and seeks to establish an understanding of basic petrophysical measurements and interpretation techniques which can be applied to routine tasks, and upon which more complex and advanced information and interpretive techniques can be built. It strives to provide a strong and coherent foundation for the understanding of other, specialized interpretation techniques involving well log data.
Take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn all the aspects related to the understanding and modeling of fractured reservoirs. Attendees will take geologic concepts and use them in reservoir modeling through hands-on sessions devoted to the examination of outcrop, core and log data. They will use that information and a software to create 3D fractured reservoir models. Using actual Teapot Dome (Wyoming, USA) field data from the Tensleep and Niobrara Shale formations and a hands-on approach, the workshop allows the geoscientist to identify fractures and to construct predictive 3D fracture models that can be used to identify productive zones, plan wells and to create fracture porosity and permeability models for reservoir simulation.
Here is an introduction to the tools and techniques that geologists and geophysicists use to locate gas and oil, that drillers use to drill the wells and that petroleum engineers use to test and complete the wells and produce the gas and oil. Exercises throughout the course provide practical experience in well log correlation, contouring, interpretation of surface and subsurface, contoured maps, seismic interpretation, well log interpretation, and decline curve analysis.
Hydrocarbons are increasingly more difficult to find because reservoirs are often located in geologically complex areas. The geologic complexity has motivated a significant paradigm shift from time imaging towards the extensive use of seismic depth imaging. Depth imaging improves the definition of the structural and stratigraphic frameworks and provides a better assessment and mitigation of risk in E&P.
This course is designed to provide geoscientists with more advanced methods in sequence stratigraphy to recognize, interpret, and map the key play elements of the petroleum system (reservoir, seal, and source rock). The course will cover problems of predicting play element presence, distribution, and quality from business scales ranging from Exploration to Production.
This course will introduce the science and technology that geologists will use in the next decade. These concepts will be shown how they can be applied to Mexican petroleum basins. Several interpretation exercises will be done to emphasize the key points for each theme.
This course is based on the systematic, comparative interpretation of modern, long offset, regional seismic profiles with time and depth migration and several suites of selected 3-D data in the deep-water realm from around the world.
This course is a practical and applied introduction to natural fractures in hydrocarbon reservoirs. The course covers the wide range of natural fracture characteristics, their origins, and their effects on reservoir system permeability in reservoirs of different lithologies.
This course demonstrates the use of capillary pressure and relative permeability data in conjunction with basic rock properties and wireline logs, to evaluate reservoir rock quality, recovery efficiency and pay. The course also covers the main aspects of determining seal potential (seal capacity, seal geometry and seal integrity) as well as the main controls on fault seals, and methods used in evaluating these. The course is presented in a workshop format, allowing participants to delve into the details in several practical exercises.
3C seismic applications provide enhanced rock property characterization of the reservoir that can complement P-wave methods. The continued interest in converted P- to S-waves (PS-waves) and vertical seismic profiles (VSPs) has resulted in the steady development of advanced vector wavefield techniques. Shear waves are coupled with P-waves, and although they do not respond to fluid properties of the medium they are nevertheless very sensitive to anisotropy and provide direct estimates of shear moduli (rigidities).
This two-day short course will provide an overview of salt tectonics in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM), including both the US and Mexican portions of the basin. It will cover a range of topics ranging from the fundamental mechanics of salt-related deformation to the regional distribution of different structural styles, including relevant aspects of extensional, contractional, vertical, and allochthonous salt tectonics. It is intended for geoscientists with different levels of expertise, from those new to the GoM or salt tectonics to those with years of experience in exploring in this complex basin.
This course is for earth scientists and engineers involved in exploration or production from carbonate rocks. This is an introductory course that assumes no pre-existing knowledge. It moves from basic principles to advanced ideas and case studies that will also help experienced geoscientists with practical aspects of carbonate depositional systems.

The citizens of Great Britain will make a monumental decision that will be felt worldwide if they vote to leave the European Union (EU) next week on June 23. If the Brits vote for "Brexit" it could eventually lead to the end of the EU and the euro. It could potentially lead to serious turmoil in the world financial markets in the days and weeks following the referendum if the vote is to leave.
Yet if Brexit passes, it does not mean that Britain will leave the EU immediately. We are told that there will be a transitionary period which could last a year or longer. Maybe this will limit the potential turmoil in the markets, but that's far from certain. In any event, I think most Americans should understand the long-range implications of next week's key vote.
I have read a great deal about what may happen if the Brits vote to leave the EU. It is clear that Brexit is part of a groundswell of dislike around the developed world for all things "Establishment." This growing trend also explains in part why characters like Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders did so well in the election primaries.
To help us understand these trends and the important implications, I have chosen to reprint a very good analysis on this subject today. It appeared in TIME Magazine online last Friday and is written by Frank Luntz. Mr. Luntz is a well-known political analyst, professional pollster, author and contributor to CBS News and the Fox News Channel among others.
You should read it. I will be writing more on this key topic in the weeks and months ahead.
We begin today by looking at the recently released Federal Reserve study on the economic conditions of 50,000 randomly-selected US households. This annual survey attempts to capture a snapshot of the financial and economic well-being (or not well-being) of US households. Let me warn you upfront that some of the findings are really bad.
Following that discussion, I will reprint a recent study by FORBES which concludes that Americans who make over $100,000 pay almost 80% of all federal income taxes. That's right. According to IRS data, Americans earning over $100,000 paid 79.5% of federal income taxes for 2014. This proves that top income earners pay more in income taxes than those who earn less.
Finally, I have two great opinion pieces in SPECIAL ARTICLES at the end that everyone should read, regardless of who you will be voting for in November.
If the US stock markets don't collapse between now and Friday, this will be the second-longest bull market on record. Really. The current bull market began in March 2009 and will have lasted for 2,608 days (7.2 years) on Friday. If so, it will top the former second-longest bull market which ran from 1949 to 1956 (2,607 days). That's quite impressive.
Yet despite the stock market's very impressive returns since the end of the Great Recession, American investors have unloaded stocks at a near-record pace. According to a new Gallup poll, only just over half of American households say they currently have any money invested in the stock market, matching the lowest ownership rate in the poll's 19-year history.
The latest Gallup poll found that only 52% of American households have any money invested in stocks (individual stocks, equity mutual funds, ETFs, etc.), down from a high of 65% in late 2007. Unfortunately, young people are the ones with the lowest investment in stocks. There's a lot to talk about on this subject.
Yet before we get to that discussion, I want to bring to your attention a new report which found that almost half (45%) of Americans now pay zero in federal income taxes, according to the Tax Policy Center. The reasons may surprise you. Let's get started.
Most economists and financial writers agree that the US has the strongest economy among the developed nations, even though we're only growing at about 2%. Despite the slow growth, most don't believe we are facing a recession anytime soon. However, most economists and financial writers also agree that a serious external shock could quickly throw the US economy into a recession and take most of the rest of the world with it.
The question is, what kind of a shock might it be? Some point to Greece, others to Brazil, both of which have flirted with bankruptcy. Others worry about a hard landing for China's economy, which some fear would be enough to throw the US economy into a recession.
Yet there is another totally different risk in China that most Americans know nothing about. It's the bubble in Chinese real estate. Chinese citizens are up to their eyeballs in real estate and almost nothing else. Prices have skyrocketed in recent years into what some are calling a giant bubble.
If that bubble bursts and home prices plummet, millions of Chinese would see their net worth evaporate.
This problem is much larger and potentially more devastating than most economists and forecasters realize. My clients and readers need to know about this, so that's what we will talk about today. But before we do, let's take a look at the latest economic news out of China from last Friday.
If you are wondering why the global economy struggled last year and so far this year, one only has to look at the trend in capital flows of emerging nations. After decades of positive capital inflows to most emerging economies, that trend has reversed sharply in the last few years.
Net capital outflows from emerging markets (EM) weren't just bigger than expected last year, there's more pain to come this year, according to the Institute of International Finance (IIF) which monitors such data.
Emerging markets faced a whopping net $735 billion in net capital outflows in 2015, the IIF, a global financial industry association, reported earlier this year. In October of last year, the IIF had projected $540 billion in net outflows in 2015, the first significant net negative figure since 1988. But in the end, the total outflow was almost $200 billion higher.
I have been traveling the last few days, so I will reprint two of the more interesting articles I ran across in the last week. We'll start with an article from CNN which confirms that numerous foreign governments are unloading US Treasury debt at a record pace.
This includes China, the largest holder of our debt, which became a huge seller of Treasuries last year. We will also look at some of the reasons why foreign central banks are dumping Treasuries, many like never before.
We will finish today with a new report from the Economist Intelligence Unit which has a list of the nine largest risks facing the world today, and how likely each of them is to happen. It is an interesting report, although I would have a few other risks to add to the list.
The Federal Reserve's policy setting body, the Fed Open Market Committee (FOMC), is meeting today and tomorrow, and there is widespread speculation over whether or not the Committee will vote to raise the Fed Funds rate a second time since lift-off in December.
Late last year the Fed signaled that it intended to raise the Fed Funds rate four times in 2016, most likely at the March, June, September and December FOMC meetings. Yet the Fed could not have anticipated the global stock market debacle that ensued at the beginning of this year and into February.
Given the large and unexpected global equity sell-off we saw in January and early February, most Fed-watchers recently concluded that the FOMC would abandon its plans to hike rates four times this year. Many even speculated that the Fed might reverse course and lower the Fed Funds rate back to near zero. Some even suggested the Fed should implement another round of quantitative easing (QE).
I have been among those who have suggested the Fed should delay any further interest rate hikes until the economy shows more signs of improvement. However, a recent economic report will make it much harder for the Fed to delay another rate hike tomorrow. That will be our main topic today.
Following that discussion, I'll have more to say about negative interest rates, the War On Cash and a summary of Stratfor.com's latest analysis regarding this very concerning global trend. Let's get started.
We are living in strange and unprecedented times to say the least. Interest rates on bank deposits have gone into negative territory across much of Europe and more recently Japan. While we have yet to see negative savings rates in the US, Fed Chair Janet Yellen recently warned that NIRP (Negative Interest Rate Policy) is on the table if the economy slips.
Yet the truth is that NIRP is not working as intended. I'll tell you why as we go along today.
Meanwhile, monetary policy leaders and liberal politicians are increasingly waging a war on cash. Specifically, left-leaning policymakers in Europe and more recently the US want to make it harder for their citizens to hold large amounts of cash. To do so, they have called for the elimination of large-denominated treasury notes such as the €500 bill and the US $100 bill.
The promoters of the war on cash claim that large-denominated euros and greenbacks are used primarily by criminals, drug dealers, tax cheats, terrorists and bad people in general. They claim that law-abiding citizens around the world have little use for these large-denomination treasury notes and would have little resistance to their elimination over time.
What these left-leaning groups don't admit is that it is their goal, ultimately, to eliminate cash altogether over time and convert us to digital currencies which can be used to track all of our transactions, at least those over certain defined amounts.
Since these two alarming trends are getting very little attention in the mainstream media, that's what we'll talk about today. I want my clients and readers to know what is happening and why. Let's start with NIRP.
Today I want to address the soaring costs of healthcare, which are rising far more than the Obama administration and the Department of Health and Human Services will admit. While I personally don't consider healthcare costs to be a political issue, many argue that it is indeed a political issue with regard to "Obamacare."
When talking to friends and colleagues, the most frequent comment I get is something like: Obamacare health insurance premiums are much higher than the government says they are – what gives? Today, I will answer that question with some new facts from an independent non-profit on healthcare premiums around the country. Prepare to be surprised.
The Obama administration's Health and Human Services Department (HHS) announced on January 21 that healthcare premiums on the Affordable Care Act exchanges rose an average of only 9% from 2015 to 2016. That was highly misleading since the HHS data covered less than half of all consumers buying healthcare on the federal exchanges in the last year.
The real premium increases, almost across-the-board, are substantially higher in most states this year. A new, independent report from the Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce includes the weighted-average premiums for all plans available on the Affordable Care Act's exchanges.
The findings will shock you, or maybe not, if you have recently renewed your healthcare coverage. In that case, you may already know, especially depending on where you live. In any event, that's what we'll talk about today.
We will also talk about how healthcare costs are by far the fastest growing subset of the US economy. And that's putting it lightly. The increase in healthcare cost almost doubled the next fastest growing sector's cost growth last year. Can you say, out-of-control?
But before we get to that discussion, let's take a look at last Friday's unemployment report for January. The headline unemployment rate dropped to 4.9%, the lowest level since early 2008, but some of the internal numbers were mixed or disappointing.
Whew – January is finally over! Up until the last week or so, the downside carnage in January was the worst New Year's stock market start in history. Thanks to last week's rebound, it was only the worst New Year's start since January of 2009 when the Great Recession was unfolding. Still, it was a hair-raising month for stock investors. And no one knows if the damage is over.
There are many theories as to why equity markets around the world suddenly plummeted in January. I have written about several of them in the last couple of weeks. Most market commentators, including yours truly, have pointed to concerns about China's economy, the collapse in oil/commodity prices, the strong US dollar, Fed interest rate hikes, etc., etc. as the likely causes for the January implosion.
Rather than continue that discussion today, I want to point out a milestone that was reached with the end of 2015 and last Friday's 4Q GDP report – and this milestone was not a good one. With 2015 behind us, it has been a decade since we have seen 3% yearly growth in the economy. The last year we had 3% growth was 2005. Call it America's "Lost Decade."
Near the end of today's letter, I will make some suggestions on how we could stimulate our now moribund economy – starting with a significant corporate income tax cut for businesses large and small. Republicans complain that they can't override President Obama's veto, so they do nothing. Yet with the economy now growing by less than 1%, I think the GOP would be surprised at how much support they could get from Democrats, especially in an election year.
Before we get to that discussion, let's take a look at last Friday's GDP report for the 4Q. The advance report came in lower than expected with growth of only 0.7% for the final three months of last year. The sharply lower 4Q reading suggests yet another year of weak economic growth. And there is now a controversy over how much the economy expanded last year, which I will explain as we go along.
And finally, I am very excited to announce our latest Special Report: UNDERSTANDING & MAXIMIZING YOUR 401(K). We have worked long and hard on this Report to help our many clients and readers not only understand how their 401(k)s work, but also how to maximize their benefits. If you have a 401(k), you definitely want to download our FREE Special Report.
There's a lot to cover in today's E-Letter, so let's get started.
The first half of January 2016 has been the worst New Year's opening for the US stock markets in history. Yet nothing much has changed economically since the end of last year. So why is the Dow Jones down 8.24%, the S&P 500 down 8.00% and the Nasdaq down 10.36% in just the first two weeks or so of the New Year? The answer is not yet clear.
According to the Stock Trader's Almanac, if US stocks move lower in January, that means a down year for equities 75% of the time. While January is not over yet, it's hard to imagine that stocks could close up for the month. So are we looking at the first down year for US stocks since 2008? Time will tell, but it sure looks that way.
Questions abound. Did the Fed make a huge mistake by raising short-term rates by a mere 0.25% in December? Did news that China's economy grew at only around 6% last year and may be slowing more this year upset the global apple cart? Are plunging oil prices really a bad thing? Is a new global recession just around the corner? Should we be preparing for a new recession here in the US this year?
These are the questions everyone is asking in the wake of the plunging stock market prices we have seen from the beginning of 2016. It is true that the current economic recovery which began in 2009 is the weakest in more than a half century, but this is nothing new. Rather than negative growth, GDP has expanded only by about 2% since Obama took office.
Yet the Fed's latest estimate of 4Q GDP growth has now fallen from 2.0% on December 17 to only 0.6% in the latest GDPNow estimate in the second week of January. This economy is losing momentum fast. The risks of a recession this year are quickly increasing. This may help explain why equities are tanking so far this year.
There's so much to talk about today, I'm not sure where to start. Let's begin with the case for a recession this year, both globally and here at home.
We'll end on a positive note from Mark Hulbert, editor of the Hulbert Financial Digest, who suggests that this latest downward market correction may be over before too long. Let's get started.

Federal law says you must grant employees "reasonable accommodations" for their religious beliefs and practices. But that doesn't mean that any employees who are told they must work on their Sabbath have an automatic lawsuit.
To move their case along in court, employees must show that they suffered an "adverse employment action" (such as being fired, transferred or demoted) due to their religious accommodation request.
Employers can face liability if they tell employees to work and then fire the employee for refusing. Employees who quit rather than work can also sue. But employees who simply work and grumble about it cannot.
Recent case: Shirley Martin worked for Wal-Mart in Dallas and was a minister in her church. She asked for Saturdays and Sundays off, but her manager told her she had to work. She did, but later sued, alleging failure to accommodate her religious beliefs.
The federal court dismissed the case, reasoning that only people who are actually fired, demoted or otherwise subjected to an adverse employment action can allege religious discrimination. In other words, Martin could sue only if she had quit or been fired after refusing to work. (Austin v. Wal-Mart, No. 3:05-CV-1687, ND Texas, 2006)
