Ron Tester, PT, COS-C, is a physical therapist and the owner of Advanced RehabTrust Home Health, where he is the administrator and a practicing physical therapist. Ron became a physical therapist after seeing the tremendous life-changing difference that a physical therapist made in the life of one of his family members, and he was inspired to pursue physical therapy so he provides that same kind of life-changing care to others. As a physical therapist, he has worked in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and skilled nursing facilities, but he has especially loved the practical, one-on-one care that he can provides in the home setting. He also found that he gets to know his clients better and has a longer lasting impact on them and their health and well-being. Click Here to know more about Advanced RehabTrust Home Health services.Unfortunately, with some of the changes in Medicare over the years, some of at home healthcare agencies that Ron worked for became more motivated by profits than patient care. Ultimately, he was inspired to start Advanced RehabTrust Home Health when one of the agencies that he was working for, a so-called "community-owned, not-for-profit agency," decided that they would rather make more money by providing less care for one of their especially challenging patients than do what Ron argued was the right thing for the patient. It turns out that "not-for-profit" means that the bosses just wrote themselves big bonus checks at the end of the year and hence the agency had "no profit." As a result, in 2001 Ron started his agency with a commitment to provide the kind of care that he would want his own mother to receive, and to always put people before profits.Over the years, Advanced RehabTrust has established itself as one of the best home health agencies for patient care in North Texas. One of the main reasons is that through the years we have established ourselves as one of the best places for nurses and therapists to work and happy, highly-skilled clinicians provide better care. In an industry where clinician turnover is an ever-present problem, our clinicians stay with us and recruit their friends to join us because we understand that our work is not just a job but a calling. We continually reinforce the central and guiding principle of our agency which is that people come first. We have high standards of care and we don't compromise that care in order to achieve a bigger bottom line.When people need help in their homes, they often don't realize what services they need and what they should be getting, and it's difficult for them to know if they are getting what they truly deserve. Therefore, it's up to the home health agency to honor the trust that they have been given by their patients and choose to do the right thing, even if the patients don't know what the right thing is. At Advanced RehabTrust, it is the essence of who we are, who we hire, how we care and what we're passionate about. And we refuse to do any less for our patients.

Let's face it: there are bosses and there are bosses.
Some are organized, or not. Some are never around. Or they micromanage. Some are hardhearted.
Where do you fall on the spectrum?
Perhaps you don't like to think of yourself as "The Boss." Your primary mindset is as a practicing dentist, not a "business" person and marketing whiz.
But that is exactly why it pays big dividends to be a great boss. Employees who are proud to work for you, willing to go the extra mile, loyal, resourceful and caring will, in turn, ensure you thrive. Think of their satisfaction as an investment in the success of your practice.
"Bosses should be (an employee's) biggest fan," says John Halamka, CIO of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, who writes an engaging and quirky blog, Life as a Healthcare CIO. (His blog post "How to be a Great Boss" is a great read for dental and medical professionals: http://geekdoctor.blogspot.com/.)
"Boss skills" can be learned and developed, but the foundation is actually easy: be kind, generous, listen to your employees, communicate clearly, treat them like people.
Together those qualities earn you respect, which generates enormous good will, trust and leadership credibility.
"We need to let go of the myth of formal authority," says Harvard Business School professor Linda Hill. "It's more effective to think about being in a role of interdependence."
A great boss recognizes the power of that point, that the whole is stronger than each part. By building up and connecting the staff, your team feels their contributions are valuable and valued. Model the qualities you want in your staff, starting with flexibility and creativity, and they willingly will rise to the challenge.
Sandra Naiman, author of The High Achiever's Secret Codebook: The Unwritten Rules for Success at Work, has a number of other practical tips, too.
Being the boss of your operation brings exhilaration and responsibility. As a great boss, you hold the key to the success of your practice as well as the personal and professional satisfaction of your staff.
A tradition of working for the dental profession. The Chicago Dental Society was organized in 1864 and incorporated in 1878. The objective of the Chicago Dental Society is to encourage the improvement of the health of the public, to promote the art and science of dentistry and to represent the intrest of the members of the profession and the public that it serves.

It's no secret that Facebook has had some privacy
issues in the past. Around this time last year, Facebook CEO Mark
Zuckerberg noted that, "people online today just don't have the same
expectations of privacy online anymore," to which many disagreed.
Now, Symantec has
announced that the personal information of Facebook users may have been leaked
accidentally to third parties over the last few years.
"We estimate that as of April 2011, close to
100,000 applications were enabling this leakage," said Symantec in its official
blog. "Over the years, hundreds of thousands of applications may have
inadvertently leaked millions of access tokens to third parties."
According to Symantec, the third parties were
advertisers that would have had access to user information like photographs,
chat and profiles. They could even post messages if they wanted to. But
Symantec also added that third parties might not have even known that they were
able to access the sensitive information.
Of course, Facebook didn't take these claims lying
down. Facebook spokeswoman Malorie Lucich released a statement saying that
Symantec's accusations disregarded the "contractual obligations of
advertisers and developers," which restricts them from acquiring or
spreading this information in a way that infringe on Facebook policy. She also
noted that Facebook has removed the outdated Application Programming Interface
(API) that Symantec had mentioned.
"Unfortunately, their (Symantec's) resulting
report has a few inaccuracies," said Lucich. "Specifically, we have
conducted a thorough investigation which revealed no evidence of this issue
resulting in a user's private
information being shared with unauthorized third parties."
quote: You would care if you were more aware of the situations which go on around you. Of course, it's easy to put your head in the sand and pretend that you're not affected by things which you're not aware of. You're the perfect end user, an unaware cash crop waiting to be harvested.

I've ordered these before, but this time got the color blue. I put them on the patio, makes it feel so comfy in our space.
I bought these curtains in blue to hang on my lanai/pool area. They were beautiful, true to color and blew in the breeze just like in the picture. They complimented my red, white and blue color scheme beautifully. Now, however, despite what it says about them being fade resistent, they are not. They are hanging in the sun most of the day and the blue is gradually turning purple. Suggest using them in shaded area unless purple matches your decor!

President Barack Obama's job approval rating has slipped three points in the past week, according to a new Gallup Poll finding.
The decline from 59 percent to 56 percent in one week is the sharpest drop thus far in Obama's presidency. The poll findings also highlight a drop from the president's 66 percent approval rating in May. Currently, 37 percent of Americans do not approve of Obama's work.
The Gallup poll comes on the heels of the president's national road trip to transform health care coverage, and his recent comments on the racially charged debate over Harvard professor Henry Gates' arrest.
Obama also saw a seven-point drop in support among Hispanics and a four-point drop among whites. But there has been no decline among black supporters.
According to Gallup, the poll shows that President Obama may have lost some political steam during July.

Hello, crafters! My name is Maureen Wilson, also known as Marzipan. I'm the creator of MadeByMarzipan.com, a sewing and craft tutorial site. My motto is "create everyday," and I do! I make cards for retail sale, I design scrapbook album kits, and I work as a designer for a scrapbook store. My work has been featured in national scrapbooking magazines, such as Paper Trends, and I sell some exclusive projects and patterns in my Etsy shop.
I've been scrapbooking for ten years, and doing it professionally for five. I also like to "alter" every day items (think clocks, baskets, frames) to put my own twist on them. And I love upcycling! If I can find a new use for "junk," I love the finished project twice as much!
I also love sewing! I am self-taught, so I know how overwhelming it can be for beginners. That's why my tutorials have a down-to-earth approach, without any big scary sewing words. (Anybody know what an "arm scye" is? Yeah, I didn't either!) You can find lots of my FREE sewing projects at AllFreeSewing.com.
It's my goal to find the easiest way to make adorable projects, and then share them with my crafting friends. I enjoy making step-by-step video tutorials, and I always love to hear your feedback on them. If you're curious why I prefer to do close-ups of my hands in my videos, I'll let you in on a little secret: most of the time, I craft in my pajamas! (Shh, don't tell!) As a mother of three young children, I craft whenever I have time, and that's often at midnight!
So if you love creating as much as me, check out my videos, and we'll have a craft night!

Film stars snubbed at Emmys
Movie stars at Monday's Emmy awards show, including Julia Roberts, Woody Harrelson, Kevin Spacey, Mark Ruffalo and the reigning Oscar winner for best actor, Matthew McConaughey, all went home empty-handed.
Instead, the Emmys gave a long goodbye kiss to "Breaking Bad" and its cast, and the fifth straight award for best comedy to ABC's "Modern Family."
Bryan Cranston, who played the memorable meth dealer Walter White on "Breaking Bad," won his fourth best drama actor Emmy, tying him with another four-time winner, Dennis Franz. Aaron Paul won his third supporting actor award playing Cranston's fictional colleague in crime. Anna Gunn, who played Cranston's wife, won for the second straight year and the series won its second consecutive best drama award.
"Modern Family" actor Ty Burrell won a best supporting actor award.
Jim Parsons, star of television's most popular comedy, "The Big Bang Theory," won his fourth straight award for best comedy actor. It was the third year in a row for Julia Louis-Dreyfus of HBO's "Veep" to win the best comic actress award.
Julianna Margulies, the star of CBS' "The Good Wife," was the beneficiary of an especially strong season for the show, winning her second Emmy as best actress in a drama.
Allison Janney won a best supporting actress award for her role in the freshman CBS sitcom, "Mom."
The Emmys included a touching tribute to Robin Williams, who died earlier this month, by his comedian friend Billy Crystal.

Baldwin fields ball
at U.S. Open
Alec Baldwin took on a new role at the U.S. Open -- the actor played a star athlete, snagging a stray ball that flew into the stands.
Baldwin was sitting in the front row behind the baseline Monday night when an out-of-bounds shot from Maria Kirilenko sailed over Maria Sharapova and bounced into the seats. He flawlessly fielded the ball on one hop.
"I don't play tennis well, but I can catch a slow-moving tennis ball," Baldwin said.
Rather than keep the tennis souvenir, Baldwin tossed it to a ball boy as the crowd cheered.
Hough returns as judge
on 'Dancing With Stars'
Two-time "Dancing With the Stars" champion Julianne Hough is returning to the ballroom as a judge this season. She will preside alongside Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli.
After serving as a company dancer-choreographer, Hough left the show in 2009 to focus on acting and music. Her films include "Safe Haven," "Paradise," "Rock of Ages" and the 2011 remake of "Footloose." She released a best-selling album in 2008.
"Dancing With the Stars" is hosted by Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews. Its new season launches Sept. 15 on ABC.
Cyrus to continue
work at shelter
Miley Cyrus said when she stole the night at last year's MTV Video Music Awards, she didn't realize her impact and influence. Now, the singer said she wants to use her powers for good.
The 21-year-old said she will continue to assist the Hollywood homeless center My Friend's Place by launching a Prizeo campaign, urging her feverish fans to donate to the cause assisting homeless youth. Cyrus brought a member of the center as her date to Sunday's VMAs at The Forum in Inglewood, California, letting him accept her award for video of the year.
LL Cool J gives
backpacks to kids
LL Cool J says it is important to help out kids in need.
The "NCIS" actor and hip-hop star said he will continue to hand out backpacks with school supplies to children in Jamaica, Queens.
He said that a relatively small contribution can have a big effect on the families. About 2,000 children attended Sunday's Worldstar Foundation event.

close but no, You need nintendo's brand usb to ethernet adapter for the wii.
The field mouse is fast, but the owl sees at night.
No you don't... <_<;;Originally Posted by Spirit
It's the same thing with idiots saying: "No, your USB Wifi will not work because it's not official Nintendo"
Any USB to Ethernet adapter will work. Just because it doesn't have the official Nintendo branding doesn't mean it won't work...
BUT, that aside I would suggest investing in a Wifi/Ethernet capable router.
touch my fat nigger penis
actually any old usb to ethernet adapter will not work. This is due to the fact that to support the hardware of the adapter the computer needs the correct driver. The Wii has the driver, and therefor is only compatible, for one type of adapter. There are non nintendo brand adapters that claim they work with the wii and this is possible. But if they don't specifically say they work with the wii, I wouldn't get it.
The field mouse is fast, but the owl sees at night.
Spirit, things like Ethernet over USB are often standards, and therefore many many products will work with the same driver.
Particularly, if you check that it has the same chipset as the nintendo one, and from what i've heard the nintendo one uses a fairly standard chipset.
Mhmm... I've used non-official USB to Ethernet connecters myself, and I had NO problems with any of them.
But I got myself a Wireless/Ethernet capable router, and it works like a dream.

This plan is endorsed by the Connecticut River Atlantic
Salmon Commission for implementation in its efforts to restore
anadromous fishes to the Connecticut River basin.
The plan was prepared by the Shad Studies Subcommittee
under authority of the Technical Committee for Fisheries
Management of the Connecticut River. The Subcommittee serves an
advisory role to the Technical Committee and Commission
regarding current management issues and information needs
pertinent to shad and river herring restoration in the basin. The Subcommittee will also periodically revise the plan to
reflect progress made toward realization of the restoration goal and objectives. Major revisions to the plan will require review
and approval of the Commission.

In 1967, State (CT, MA, NH, VT) and Federal Fishery
Agencies (USFWS, NMFS) signed a Statement of Intent for a
cooperative fishery restoration program in the Connecticut River
basin. The Statement called for the establishment of a population of two million shad to the mouth of the Connecticut
River with passage of one million above Holyoke Dam, 850,000 above Turners Falls Dam, and 750,000 above Vernon Dam thus
restoring shad to their historical range at Bellows Falls,
Vermont. These goals were initially chosen based on an
estimation of potential spawning habitat situated above each
mainstem dam in relation to the total and fishway efficiencies
experienced on the Columbia River. Efforts continue to try to
meet these goals.
American shad population levels in the Connecticut River
demonstrate natural variability (Figure 1) typical of Clupeid
fishes. Annual spawning run estimates of American shad have
varied from 386,000 to a high of 1,634,000 since 1966 (Table 1).
The variability seen is the result of differences in recruitment
of individual year-classes and has been shown to be related to
environmental conditions (Crecco and Savoy 1984).
Fish passage facilities, providing upstream access for American
shad to Bellows Falls, Vermont, were improved at Holyoke Dam by
1976, and completed at Turners Falls and Vernon Dams in 1980 and
1981, respectively. Poor passage within the fish ladders at
Turners Falls was improved by changing ladder flow patterns -
prior to the 1983 and 1984 runs (Table 2). Similar
modifications to improve passage efficiency through the Vernon
fish ladder were made in advance of the 1984 and 1989 spawning
Comparison of mean American shad population levels between pre
and post 1976 Holyoke Lift improvements demonstrate little
difference (Figure 1. 1966-1975, x=837,581; 1976-1990,
x=828.426), however, recruitment of virgin American shad has
increased slightly (Figure 2. 1966-1975, x=604,339; 1976-1984,
x=718,506) coincident with fish passage improvements. This
would suggest that a small increase in American shad production has resulted from restoring the American shad to their historic.
range. Increased upriver fish passage at Holyoke without
successful downstream passage facilities has resulted in a
decline in the proportion of repeat spawners in the Connecticut
River (Table 1). This places increased reliance on virgin
spawning shad which may be a destabilizing influence on longterm
population levels. Careful monitoring of age and spawning
history as well as monitoring of proposed downstream passage
facilities will be necessary.
During the period 1975-1979 no significant downriver passage of
spent adult American shad was provided at Holyoke Dam.
Beginning in 1980, a combination of techniques has been employed to provide passage around turbines at Holyoke (canal drawdowns,
bascule gate opening, operation of the Boatlock Station Bypass)1 and in 1983 at Turners Falls Dam where the log sluice is opened
for a period each day during June and July when adult shad are
present (Table 3). These requests for bypass operations were
first formalized in an Annual Notification Letter to individual
dam operators in 1987 as a request from the fisheries agencies
and then later through the FERC process in the case of Holyoke.
The signing of the Memorandums of Agreement with Northeast
Utilities Service Company (NUSCO) and New England Power Company (NEP) in 1990 provide specific dates for completion of bypass facilities at all applicable mainstem dams for American shad as
well as Atlantic salmon (Appendices C and D). Careful
monitoring of the population dynamics of the American shad
population after these facilities are completed will be
necessary to evaluate their effectiveness.
While efforts to restore American shad to the Connecticut River
Basin have primarily addressed upstream passage issues in the
mainstem river, similar issues have received attention in
certain major tributaries. Of these tributaries, the Farmington
River in Connecticut has received most of the attention to date.
Shad passage discussions, however, are underway on the Westfield
River in Massachusetts. Efforts have also been initiated to
quantify and describe the contribution of tributaries to the
shad sport fishery.
On the Connecticut River mainstem, one unanticipated benefit of
the fishway at Bellows Falls dam is the expansion of the
upstream range of American shad beyond their historic limit. It
is not known whether shad will pass the Bellows Falls fishway in
significant numbers, and how this range expansion could affect
the Connecticut River shad population. Downstream passage for both adult shad and juvenile shad (should reproduction occur
upriver from Bellows Falls) will be provided through the
Atlantic salmon passage facilities scheduled for operation in
Detailed information on the biology and status of American shad
stocks of the eastern United States, including the Connecticut
River, is available in the fishery management plan developed by
the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (1985). The
purpose of the Connecticut River Basin plan is to identify
management objectives and activities that are specific to the basin and essential to attaining full restoration of the species
to the basin.
To restore and maintain a spawning shad population to its historic range in the Connecticut River basin and to provide and
maintain sport and the traditional in-river commercial fisheries
for the species.
The seven management objectives listed below support the
management goal. Each objective is followed by reference to
tables and appendices which document progress on activities
toward full achievement of the stated objective.
Achieve and sustain an adult population of 1.5 to 2
million individuals entering the mouth of the
Connecticut River annually. (Table 1)
A maximum rate of exploitation shall not exceed 40% of
the spawning population, based on a 5-year running
average (Crecco and Savoy 1987). (Table 1)
Achieve annual passage of 40 to 60% of the spawning
run (based on a 5-year running average) at each
successive upstream barrier on the Connecticut River
mainstem. (Table 2)
Maximize outmigrant survival for juvenile and spent
adult shad. (Table 3)
Enhance and promote the recreational opportunities
associated with shad fishery management throughout the
species' historical range. (Tables 4, 5, 6, & 7)
Establish and maintain a permanent population monitoring
program on the Connecticut River. (Appendix A)
Establish an annual research program to address
management programs associated with shad restoration
goals and objectives. (Appendix B)
The plan will be reviewed and, if necessary, revised
annually to reflect current management problems and issues and progress made toward shad restoration in the Connecticut River
1. Reports documenting the evaluation of the bypass techniques are cited under the references section.
Requirements listed under this section are presented in
order of priority, but all are required to monitor shad
population status and trends from year to year.

The following studies and development projects were
undertaken in 1991:
Aquatec, Inc. monitored the relationship and effect
Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant operation on
American shad distribution, growth and population
dynamics in the upper Turners Falls and lower Vernon
impoundments. The sex ratio, fecundity and age
distribution of adult American shad at the Turners Falls and Vernon Darn fishways was studied. Sampling
of juvenile American shad occurred in the upper
Turners Falls pool and in the lower Vernon pool.
NUSCO and NEP conducted downstream fish passage
studies for adult and juvenile American shad at each
company's hydroelectric facilities in accordance with
the MOA schedules.
The USFWS Sunderland Office of Fishery Assistance
sampled the American shad population below Cabot
Station for length-weight data and sex ratios. Radio
telemetry were tested.
The Conte Anadromous Fish Research Center (CAFRC)
conducted two studies on shad in 1991 that were aimed at
understanding the behavior of adults in fishways: (1)
experimental investigations of the choice of water flow
habitat during the diel cycle of prespawned adults, and
(2) development of a video system to monitor shad
behavior in the Turners Falls fishway. CAFRC also
developed the methods to conduct a detailed evaluation
of the Turners Falls fishway in 1992. Juvenile shad
studies to be undertaken by the CAFRC in 1991 included
field studies using hydroacoustic techniques to
determine the effect of physical environmental factors on migration ecology and migratory route.
Holyoke Canal System
NUSCO agrees to provide downstream passage facilities for
Atlantic salmon and fish from the family Clupeidae at the
Holyoke Canal System by April 1992. and to evaluate its
effectiveness by November 1994.
Hadley Falls Station
NUSCO agrees to provide downstream passage facilities for
Atlantic Salmon and fish from the family Clupeidae at the
Hadley Falls Station by April 1993, and to evaluate its
effectiveness by November 1995.
Turners Falls Project
If the Holyoke Canal System downstream passage facilities are
initially successful, NUSCO agrees to provide downstream
passage facilities for Atlantic salmon and fish from the
family Clupeidae at the Turners Falls Project by April 1994.
If significant continued modifications are needed at the
Holyoke Canal System downstream passage facilities, the date
for providing the Turners Falls Project downstream passage
facilities may be delayed to April 1995. The decision as to
the initial success of the Holyoke Canal System downstream
passage facilities shall be made no later than October 1992.

The Philadelphia Phillies turned to their Triple-A affiliate four times this past week for major league replacements. However, none of the players selected are currently ranked as top 10 prospects.
Was this because the current top prospects are progressing nicely but just need more seasoning, or because a lack of early season success is causing them to fall short of expectations?
A player such as Darin Ruf could have earned a promotion once Chase Utley was placed on the disabled list, especially with a DH needed for the next two games. Instead, a slump led to the Phillies eventually promoting Michael Martinez.
Additionally, when Roy Halladay's spot in the rotation came up, it was Tyler Cloyd who was promoted again rather than Adam Morgan or Ethan Martin.
All of these players have plenty of time to continue improving and reach the major leagues, possibly at some point this season. But they have also seen at least one, if not two or three, opportunities come and go for a major league call-up.
Meanwhile, how did the rest of the Phillies top 10 prospects, according to Baseball America, fare this past week?
Let's take a look at whose stock is up and whose is down following Week 8.

Where do such good people come from
I am always surprised when beautiful generous people walk into my life. The truth is I should be surprised when unbeautiful ungenerous people walk into my life because there have always been incredibly generous people in my life. I also have had the opposite, but that is the past. Now I am meeting goodness right and left.
What happened recently isn't anything that anyone could imagine. I couldn't have imagined it.
I told you about the two friends who have come back into my life. They both happen to be chiropractors with profound specialties.
They are both dedicated to what they are doing and really care about their patients. In addition, it's their pleasure to help each other. Deborah raves about Nancy. Nancy raves about Deborah. No competitiveness there.
I mentioned in an earlier blog that neither Deborah nor Nancy takes insurance.
Deborah had immediately offered to trade her services for my helping her with her writing. I think she was looking for a way for me to feel good more than she needed my services.
Nancy, who is a longtime Heavenreader, had wanted to treat me -- listen to this -- for the joy of it. I protested.
Meanwhile, Deborah and Nancy called me yesterday, and here's what they arranged:
Deborah will drive me two hours to the Palmer Chiropractic College in Davenport, Iowa, where I can have the C1 x-rays Nancy wants. Why? Because the college takes insurance.
Did you ever hear of one health professional offering to driving a client 120 miles each way to help out the client and another health professional? I never did.
Talk about going the extra mile!

New Orleans wedding ceremony unites couple
The picturesque courtyard of the Hotel Mazarin in the French Quarter of New Orleans formed the setting on April 26, 2012, for a wedding ceremony uniting in marriage Melissa Claire Doucet of Baton Rouge, formerly of Rayne, and Tyler Edward Thibault of New Orleans.
The intimate, outdoor candlelight ceremony was officiated by Rev. John Zimmer, who presided over traditional vows, as well as the couple's own written wedding vows.
The bride is the daughter of Malcolm and Margaret Doucet of Rayne. Her grandparents are Dorothy Leger of Rayne, the late William "Fats" Leger, and the late Mr. and Mrs. Eby Doucet.
She is a graduate of Notre Dame High School of Acadia Parish and attained a Bachelor's Degree in elementary education from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. Melissa also received a Master's Degree in education specializing in school counseling with a certification as school library media specialist. She is employed as a school counselor at Northwestern Middle School in Zachary, and will be employed as library media specialist at South Park Elementary in Rapid City, SD in August of this year.
The groom is the son of Elizabeth and Hayden Wren of New Orleans and Rudy Thibault of Harvey. His grandparents are Joan Davis of Houston, the late Charles E. Davis, and the late Mr. and Mrs. Rudy Thibault.
He is a graduate of Ecole Classique, attained a Bachelor's Degree in communication studies from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, and is a member of the United States Air Force.
For the wedding ceremony, Scriptures were recited by Margaret Mary "Maggie" Doucet, sister of the bride, and Lauren Thibault, sister of the groom.
Mary-Kathryn Doucet, sister of the bride, conducted a butterfly release with readings and prayers. The butterflies were grown from caterpillars at the Doucet family home prior to the ceremony and released after the couple had been joined in marriage.
Against a musical background provided by the New Orleans Finest Musicians, a three-piece jazz ensemble, guests were ushered to their seats by Matt Doucet, brother of the bride.
On the arm of her father, the bride wore an elegant, corset-styled wedding gown designed by BHLDN featuring feathery flowers with twinkling, beaded centers cling to gossamer layers of pristine tulle on the flowing skirt, fashioned with an underlining of silk charmeuse. A simple tulle veil served as her headpiece and she carried a bridal bouquet of golden yellow rhinoculous, mums and craspedia with gray rhinoculous and adornments.
Traditional items selected by the bride for her wedding day included a blue and white handkerchief of her late grandfather (Eby Doucet) as something old and blue. Her earrings and bracelet, a gift from the groom, was something new, and the maid of honor's blue broach attached to her bouquet was something blue.
Attending her twin sister as maid of honor was Marci Elizabeth Doucet. She wore an Anthropologie-designed, floor-length dress with a gray and yellow pastiche pattern and carried a smaller version of the bride's bouquet.
The groom, attired in his U.S. Air Force dress blues, was attended as best man by a longtime friend, Adam Delgado. He wore a gray suit and paisley gray and golden yellow tie.
Ring bearer was Brooks Patrick Doucet, nephew and godchild of the bride. He carried a gray pillow with vintage golden yellow button handmade by the bride's mother with matching bow-tie to that of the best man's tie of paisley gray and golden yellow.
For her daughter's wedding, the mother of the bride, Margaret Leger Doucet wore an A-lined, tea-length dress of teal dupioni silk by Jim Hjelm featuring a bateau neckline, natural waist and a fabric sash tied with a French knot. She carried a smaller version of the bride's bouquet.
The groom's mother, Elizabeth Davis Wren selected a steal gray, tuxedo-styled wrap dress with a full, tea-length skirt by Shani. She also carried a smaller version of the bride's bouquet.
Immediately following the wedding ceremony, a reception was held on site. Against a jazz-insprired musical background, guests enjoyed a cocktail hour amid hundreds of candles that adorned the grand fountain of the courtyard. In addition to candles, the area was also accentuated with floral arrangements in shades of golden yellow and gray. Photographs of the couple adorned the tables in the cocktail area with a multitude of miniature lights in the trees and foliage. Love birds and bird cages were found throughout the dinner tables with guests enjoying a seated, elegant dinner.
In addition, guests were served the bride's cake, an ivory confection with hand-crafted flowers that flowed over the bottom tier of the three-layered cake and cascaded upward. Fillings included Italian cream and raspberry, and the handmade cake topper was a miniature version of the couple with matching bridal and groom attire, along with their dog, Boston. The cake was served by the bride's godmother, Annette Ohlenforst Simon.
The groom's cake was a crawfish-inspired confection, and was enjoyed by all.
Guests registered from various Acadiana cities, in addition to Baton Rouge, Monroe, Slidell, Denham Springs, and points of Texas, Virginia and New York.
The couple will reside in Rapid City, SD, at Ellsworth Air Force Base, where the groom is stationed.

Gronkowski 'feeling a lot better' as rehab continues
|03.27.13 at 12:58 pm ET
Rob Gronkowski said he's "feeling a lot better" as he continues with his rehab process over the course of the offseason. The big tight end, who suffered multiple arm injuries late in the season, was on ESPN Radio's "Mike and Mike" on Wednesday morning, and was asked how his rehab is going.
'I'm doing a lot better, definitely. [I'm] feeling a lot better. My arm is feeling way better than it was during the playoffs and regular season when I broke it,' said Gronkowski, who has undergone three surgeries on his arm. 'Right now, just rehabbing, getting the muscle stronger around it. You want to get everything activated, re-activated, because it shuts down for a little bit when it's healing.
"Just rehabbing, and when my trainers give me the 'good to go,' hopefully in the next couple weeks, hopefully as soon as possible, I can get rolling again and get back in the weight room and get back on the field and do what I love doing — running around and catching some balls.'
Gronkowski also talked about some of the criticism he's received from fans, particularly the incident in Las Vegas where he was filmed putting a mock wrestling move on a buddy.
'They're my fans," he replied. "They're big fans of the Patriots and they just want to see the team do well. I totally understand where the fans are coming [from], where they don't want myself to put myself in jeopardy of getting hurt. I totally understand that. I would never do that, put myself in jeopardy," Gronkowski said.
"To the max — I love going out there every week and performing to the best of my ability, and I love going out there playing. I understand where [the fans are] coming from. They just don't want to see me hurt again. That's totally understandable.'
It's all part of living life as a celebrity he said. As long as you remember what's important.
'It's a little different,' Gronkowski said. 'Growing up, just doing whatever you want and no one looking at you and no one really caring, and now you go out '¦ I was in the airport on the way here and everyone has their camera out videoing me walking through the airport.
"It's weird at first, but you just can't let it get to your head at all, affect you at all. [You] just keep doing what you've been doing since Day 1 — which I have been.'

About me
I am an experience designer from Berlin that helps companies shape their businesses, processes, products and services. My background is in engineering, but I have been designing interfaces for the last 15+ years. During the last 6 years I broadened my interests to User Experience design.
More than 20 years of crafting software products
During the late '80s my father was working as a software engineer - one of the first of that kind in Yugoslavia. I was fascinated with this new digital world and that fascination hasn't faded to this day. We had a PC 286 with 510KB of RAM and 20MB hard disk. It was a beast!
But the beast was tamed quickly. In the early '90s my cousin and I created our first software product and were successfuly selling it for 5 years. Since then I worked as a solution developer and user interface designer for small and large companies and led many product development teams.
Today, I am working for Contentful where I help the company shape the future of publishing. Prior to this, I ran a small design studio with my wife, who is also an experience designer. Our clients varied, from small companies and startups to enterprise businesses. Even though our work relied on User Centered Design process, we were leaning towards what we call The holistic process - considering human behavior in non-anthropocentric context. As generalists and business owners, we did all the work by ourselves: negotiating with clients, defining UX strategy, user research, analysis and synthesis, prototyping, testing and more.
Besides client work, I love to speak at conferences, mentor young designers and startups, write occasionally on my blog. I had the great pleasure of writing a chapter in Smashing Book 2 "Sketching, wireframing and prototyping" and writing several blog posts for Smashing Magazine.
Early years of my career aren't wasted at all. I successfully use my former experience in development and early enterpreneurship, both in my design process and in communication with engineering teams.

Yoko Ono, Legacy Productions and the Redwood Empire Food Bank bring The Art of John Lennon as a preview opening of the Paul Mahder Gallery to downtown Healdsburg today, June 27, through June 29. The gallery is located at 222 Healdsburg Ave.
Few people know that John did not pick up a guitar for five of the last seven years of his life. During those years he channeled his philosophy through his drawings.
They, along with earlier sketches and song lyrics make up the nearly 100 limited edition lithographs, serigraphs and copper etchings that will be on display.
The gallery is open today from noon-8 p.m., Saturday from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m.-6 p.m.
There are no tickets or admission needed, but a $3 donation is suggested to benefit REFB.

Oct. 17, 2005 | Since it was first established in 1994, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), headquartered at MIT's Ray and Maria Strata Center, has been developing Web standards and guidelines to define the Web's framework. Today, the W3C sees the Semantic Web as an extension of its original goal of Web interoperability.
Organizations large and small pay to become members of the W3C. U.S. companies with gross annual revenues greater than $200 million pay $63,500 for membership; those earning more than $50 million pay $25,400. All other companies, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies pay $6,350. By bringing together close to 400 members, the W3C works to recognize overlapping problems and develop universal solutions.
"This isn't W3C inventing [the Semantic Web]," says Eric Miller, Semantic Web Activity Lead at W3C. "It's all of our members that have this problem coming together and addressing it with common open solutions. Our hope is to push this into the very fabric of the Web and make it as ubiquitous as possible, to reduce the cost across all the communities that have this problem."
As new partnerships, applications, research technologies, and management tools are implemented, each must also be integrated into the existing company infrastructure. It just makes sense to go with the most flexible strategy, Miller says. "What the physicists were to the original Web, the life science community is going to be to the Semantic Web," Miller says.
"One of the things that I want to dispel is you've got to drop your relational database that you've invested a lot of time, energy, and money in, and look for a scalable RDF triple score from Oracle, IBM, or open-source" says Miller. "There are a lot of examples where you can wrap your relational database and expose it as RDF. Existing applications can keep going, but you're wrapping that data and exposing it in a different way."
While many of the W3C's members express interest in the Semantic Web, the movement is clearly still in its infancy. Miller says that the slow start could be because CIOs and CTOs have heard this song before. "Anyone who says, 'We've got the solution' now is immediately dismissed," Miller says. "But we're not pushing a company. We're working with many companies to find a common standard, a common open substrate which data might be stitched together."

Micro-Interactions in a 2.0 World
We live in a world where the little things really do matter. Each
encounter -- no matter how brief -- is a micro interaction which makes
a deposit or withdrawal from our rational and emotional subconscious.
The sum of these interactions and encounters adds up to how we feel
about a particular product, brand or service. Little things. Feelings.
R/GA is seeking seasoned Senior Interaction Designers to join its
Interaction Design team in New York City.
About R/GA:
Named Adweek's Interactive Agency of the Year and included in
Advertising Age's "Agency A-List, " R/GA's culture is associated with
creative excellence, innovation and collaboration. Emphasis is placed
on quality of work, team spirit, and the ability to partner well with
clients and other agencies.
NYC IxDers,
It's time for another NYC IxDA event, hot on the heels of event
announcements in Philly, Waterloo, San Francisco, and Boston. This month in
New York, Alex Wright, an Information Architect at the New York Times, will
talk about the technological limitations we face on the web, and about the
Interaction Design lessons that we can learn from the precursors to the web
to help get around them.

Q: I have a 3-year-old cat who was spayed as soon as she came of age (6 weeks old, I think). She has never had any problems thus far, but when I picked her up yesterday there were a couple of blood droplets left on my arm.Is it normal for her to be bleeding, or should I be concerned and take her to the vet? I didn't see or feel any cuts or scrapes on her that could warrant the blood. There wasn't a ton of blood and I haven't seen any today, but I just want to make sure she's OK. A: It is never normal for there to be blood coming from a cat. Dogs may bleed a little when in heat, but cats do not. Your cat is spayed, so this is not even an issue here. Certainly, examining your cat for any evidence of cuts, scrapes or other trauma is the first thing to do. You did that, and didn't find anything. I would say that the most likely origin is the urinary tract (i.e. this may have been a drop of bloody urine), or the gastrointestinal tract (i.e. a tiny bit of blood from the anus). If this was one episode only, and your cat seems fine, I think you could hold off on taking her to the vet for now, but I would keep a close eye on her litterbox and her litterbox behavior. Any evidence of blood in the urine or stool does warrant a veterinary visit. P.S. If there's blood in the stool, bring the stool sample with you when you go to the vet. Also, I think you meant to say 6 months old rather than 6 weeks old. Early spay/neuter programs have become more popular at shelters and humane societies, but the kittens have to be at least 8 weeks old; a 6-week-old kitten would be too young and small to spay.

Things move quickly in WWE. Fresh off the heels of Payback, it appeared we'd be settling in for the summer, preparing for Money in the Bank. It would have been reasonable to expect a slowdown of events in what is traditionally a more uneventful time of the year.
Instead, we got a big surprise this past Monday, one that's sure to make headlines on Bleacher Report and beyond. We'll get into all that and much more in the following slides. Before we do, please read how these rankings work.
Holding a championship, being a No. 1 Contender or holding a Money in the Bank briefcase counts for much of a wrestler's ranking and, therefore, the most heavily weighted components in these rankings. If a wrestler is tied with another wrestler, holding a title will break a tie.
Wins and losses account for the bulk of the week-to-week movement—wins and losses are, after championships, the most important component of the rankings. The quality of a wrestler's opponents and whether they are ranked or not is considered in the week-to-week movement.
"Getting the better" of someone—like beating someone down—as well as "getting got" also counts, though not as much as wins and losses. Being "over" with the fans is considered but not heavily weighted in the ranking decisions. Pay-per-view performances take on added importance.
Only the Top 10 wrestlers are ranked. Wrestlers on the "Watch List" were considered for Top 10 status but were ultimately nixed. They are unranked, and their listing is in no particular order.
Generally speaking, these rankings do not break kayfabe, though any major non-storyline information (serious injury, WWE Wellness Policy violations, legitimate hirings, firings, contract information, "sabbaticals," etc.) may be taken into consideration, especially if WWE confirms them publicly. Nothing that could be explicitly considered a spoiler is included unless WWE acknowledges it as well.
All WWE shows, televised or digitally distributed, as well as anything from WWE.com, the WWE App, the WWE Network and any WWE or Superstar social media accounts that don't break kayfabe may be taken into consideration for these rankings.

An original-oldschool old-timer construction worker's term for lunchbox. During this era, dukies were made from tin, and the thermoses had glass liners in them.
As horseplay and pranks were overlooked on the job in the old days, a man's dukie was definitely off limits, as much as his vehicle, home and family, by (honor). Now, a guy wouldn't hesitate to steal your lunch or your meds, let alone your wallet or your phone if he had half a chance.....so much for (union brotherhood).....

What advice would you give someone starting this project? This project is very hard to make a correction on if you make a mistake. My advice is; if you have found that you made a mistake and need to go back to that point. Pull up the loop that is on your hook and put it over your finger, carefully look for the previous loop and make sure you have it secured on your hook before releasing the loop you are holding on to. Continue in this manner until you come to the mistake. Once you start unravelling your work, it will all just "go" unless you have a secure grasp on previous loop.
It looks advanced to me!

Gah, keep forgetting to ppost food.
Belly had been getting flatter and flatter, down to 162.75, but after eating salsa, beef w/ homemade BBQ rub, TJ's guac, & pineapple spears, it was huge again. Huge. Up to 165.5 in the morning. 2.75lb!
I ate the same things today b/c they were still here needing to be eaten. Possible culprits: rub, salsa, guac, combination of meat & fruit ... who knows? I have to remind myself not to worry about bloating or I will end up restricting my diet too much and not be able to maintain my abstinence.
Despite gut bloat, my calves are actually down 1/4" more than yesterday, which was 1/4" more than last week!
Voice is quite clear today. Still more nose clearing needs to happen, but big improvement.
Hands still soft. Like so soft, almost slick. Very nice! (face and chest not quite as soft)
Big pimple on my chin over the last two days.
I went to my binge store today to get dinner stuff, and felt myself looking around, then asked God to take care of me and get me safely out and felt much stronger, then was worried about the looking around and remembered "thinking about food is not eating." No, indeed, it is not.
30 days binge-free today! Thank God!

McClatchy Files Form 10-Q and Reports Final Results for Third Quarter of 2007: Reports Non-cash Impairment Charges
The McClatchy Company (NYSE: MNI) today reported that it filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 (the Report) with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), which includes its final third quarter 2007 results.
The company's third quarter 2007 after-tax loss from continuing operations was $1.35 billion, or $16.40 per share including the effect of non-cash after-tax impairment charges primarily related to goodwill and newspaper mastheads of $1.37 billion, or $16.68 per share. Earnings before the charges were unchanged from the $23.5 million, or 29 cents per share, previously reported on October 16, 2007.
The loss from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2007 was $1.30 billion or $15.81 per share including the effect of the non-cash impairment charges. The company's total net loss, including the results of discontinued operations, for the first nine months of 2007 was $1.30 billion, or $15.89 per share.
As the company noted in its press release on October 16, 2007, management performed impairment testing of goodwill and other long-lived assets as of September 30, 2007, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and due to the continuing challenging business conditions and the resulting weakness in the company's stock price as of the end of its third quarter. Upon completion of that testing, the company recorded pre-tax non-cash impairment charges of $1.18 billion to goodwill, $250.4 million to newspaper mastheads and $84.6 million to investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and other items.
Gary Pruitt, McClatchy's chairman and chief executive officer, said "The challenging business environment, coupled with the drag on our stock price, has resulted in our taking an impairment charge to write down the value of goodwill, mastheads of certain newspapers, and other assets on the company's balance sheet in the third quarter. However, these are non-cash accounting charges, and nothing about them changes our operations or our ability to reduce debt.
"As I said last month when we released our preliminary earnings, we recognize that newspaper revenues have declined industry-wide and that values have dropped. We have been more affected than most by the real estate downturn because of our operations in California and Florida, the epicenters of the sub-prime lending practices. We do not know when this downturn will end, and do not have visibility beyond the fourth quarter. Nonetheless, we believe that cyclical factors represent a significant portion of the current advertising downturn as evidenced by our operations in the California and Florida regions. McClatchy is a solidly profitable company that is rapidly paying down debt and re-engineering its operations to navigate through a changing environment for all media companies. We are well positioned in markets with growth prospects better than the nation as whole, and while that clearly doesn't make us immune to national economic events, we believe it will serve us well when the economy begins to recover from the real-estate led slowdown. Looking longer term, we like the prospects for all of our growth markets. We are working hard to grow revenues and will continue to focus on cost controls to weather this downturn by remaining efficient and protecting cash flows as best we can."
About a third of the goodwill impairment charge resulted from the accounting treatment of the value of common stock issued in the Knight Ridder transaction, which resulted in additional goodwill being recorded. McClatchy announced the acquisition of Knight-Ridder, Inc. on March 10, 2006 and closed the transaction on June 27, 2006 (the "Acquisition"). Management has disclosed in the company's financial statements since the third quarter of 2006 (when the Acquisition was completed), that it was required to record the value of the 35.0 million shares of McClatchy common stock issued in the Acquisition at $1.821 billion, or $52.06 per share, which was included in the total Acquisition purchase price. The fair value of these shares was actually $1.398 billion as of the Acquisition closing date ($39.03 per share at June 27, 2006); however under the accounting rules the decline of approximately $423.0 million in valuation had no effect on the total Acquisition purchase price recorded. That additional $423.0 million was included in goodwill.
The unaudited consolidated statement of income which has been filed with the SEC is attached to this release.
