Celebrating National Native American Heritage Month: Giving Native-Owned Small Businesses the Tools They Need
by Christopher James, SBA Official
- Created: November 8, 2012, 12:53 pm
- Updated: November 8, 2012, 1:17 pm
National Native American Heritage Month gives us a chance to reflect on the importance to the national economy of American Indian and Alaska Native populations. Growing up in a small family business in Cherokee, North Carolina, I know first-hand how essential Native-owned small businesses are to our tribes and communities. I have seen how small Native American-owned businesses can shape a community and how tribal citizen entrepreneurs flourish by creating sustainable and lasting jobs.
Today, there are nearly 240,000 Native American-owned small businesses in the U.S., and SBA is doing what it can to increase those numbers and encourage their growth. In just the last four years SBA supported more than $400 million in lending to Native American-owned small businesses.
Emphasizing the importance of Native Americans in helping to shape the nation's character and cultural heritage, President Obama has issued a proclamation on National Native American Heritage Month. The President's proclamation said, "In collaboration with tribal nations, we are making critical investments to improve health and education services, create jobs, and strengthen tribal economies."
SBA developed the Native American Small Business Primer: Strategies for Success to help Native American entrepreneurs prepare for business ownership. It's a free online business course that gives an overview of essential business principles and of SBA's programs and services that help business owners get started. The course is an important tool for American Indians, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian business owners that can help in our nation's overall economic health by creating new businesses and creating jobs.
One such Native-owned small business is Mark Masters, CEO of Choleta Fire LLC, in Oklahoma City. Mark was the SBA's 2012 Young Entrepreneur of the Year Winner. A tribal member of the Oklahoma Cherokee Nation, Mark launched Choleta Fire in 2009 at the age of 26. Within two years the company had grown from one employee to 65.
We want to help create more success stories like Mark's so that Native American companies can thrive in business. And we expect to make additional tools available to help Native American companies start and grow like the SBA's Government Contracting Classroom, a series of online courses to help prospective and existing small businesses learn how to contract with federal agencies.
We also continue to work with our Native Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and other community lenders to encourage them to make more small-dollar loans available in Native American and underserved communities with SBA's Small Loan Advantage and Microloan programs.
SBA's Office of Native American Affairs is working hard to provide the needed tools and resources, and our ultimate goal is to help spur job creation and to stimulate economic and business development in Native American communities.

This is a great thing that the US is doing for Native Americans. I know a lot
of tribes have their own laws, but I wonder if native americans will have to
follow any of the regulations for these loans that are given.

When putting on the condom, there is supposed to be space at the end for semen to accumulate during ejaculation. If there isn't, than the chances of the condom breaking are much greater. Same goes for condoms that are too small...obviously the condom allows a certain amount of stretch to fit over the erect penis snugly, but if it's too tight, it can also increase the chances of it ripping.
You might want to consider the next "size" up. If the condom can't reach the base of the penis, and still have room at the end for semen accumulation, it's not fitting properly.
Mambo: Condoms are made to stretch some, to accomodate many size penises...I really am not sure what to tell you, since I cannot see how much it moves around, but that it needs to feel secure in the sense that it WILL NOT slip off or come close. It sounds as though it does not for you. I think you will be fine, and the chance of pregnancy is very low. But, it might not be a bad idea, since condoms CAN fail, to have your girlfriend use birth control as well (I am very sorry if I have mistaken your gender, I believe you are male, correct?) It would eliminate almost all of the margn of error for condoms, and doubling up on protection when it comes to sex is always a good thing.
As far as your warning about ripping if the condom is too tight, well, that has already happened once before. Anyway, thanks for your advice and I guess we'll be buying larger condoms from now on. Hopefully those will fit him better. Thanks again!

This is the "block" Steve Johnson threw against Eric Berry. Berry was injured after the play, tried to come back in and then left again after his leg gave out on him.
The mumbles out of KC right now are bad. Berry could potentially be done for the year. What say you? Legal block?

With a giggle, Plainfield senior Kerri Ruffo said she "is so nervous" about the Eastern Connecticut Conference cross-country girls championship meet at 3:35 p.m. today at the Norwich Golf Course.
"I know it's pretty much a Ruffo-(Griswold's Alyssa) Brehler show right now," the Plainfield senior said.
That will be the story, actually, for the next three weeks.
The ECC championship today, the CIAC state championships next Saturday — when both vie for the Class SS individual crown and their teams battle for the team title — and again on Nov. 1 at the State Open championship.
Always matching up
It was pre-ordained when both were freshmen.
Ruffo, the young girl who began running — and sometimes winning road races — before she was even in high school and Brehler, the soccer and basketball player-turned runner by the time she got to Griswold High.
Along the way, there have been bumps, large ones in the case of Brehler, who continues to battle her own inner demons as well as the competition.
"For a kid to be able to overcome the things that she's overcome with the attitude that she has is just incredible to me," Griswold coach Mike Flynn said.
Finally healthy
The ECC championship has been especially troubling for the Griswold senior. In 2010, she finished 12th overall while Ruffo placed eighth. The next year Brehler was leading the race when she collapsed not far from the finish line; Ruffo went on to win. And then last year, Ruffo finished second to Norwich Free Academy wunderkind Brianna Lenehan and Brehler was a distant fifth.
"Since my sophomore year it's been a goal of mine and I've yet to win it," Brehler said. "It's definitely a goal of mine to do it in my last year. I want it badly."
Sophomore year I passed out. Junior year I had mono. This year, I'm healthy and I've worked so hard for it and it would be great to have it there in my last race at the golf course."
For Ruffo, the desire to win, although strong, is modified a bit.
"If I don't win, I will walk out of it OK, because I won my sophomore year," Ruffo said. "Lenehan had her year last year, maybe this is Brehler's year."
Ruffo then reflected back to something that Flynn tweeted last week.
"He was talking about mental strength and he said something like, 'You can be equally talented — which I believe (Brehler and herself) are — but whoever is mentally stronger will win the race, which I believe is so true," Ruffo said. "I know she is mentally tough."
Page 2 of 2 - Ruffo expects Brehler to go out and set the pace, but Ruffo is confident when it comes to the course, declaring that she loves the rolling hills that the site offers.
Flynn and Plainfield coach Kevin Grant won't only have the Brehler-Ruffo battle on their minds. There is also the team competition, which the Wolverines have won two of the last three years.
"It's one of those things where I think when you're in it you don't fully appreciate the magnitude of it. When you take a step back, it's definitely quite an accomplishment," Flynn said. "I tell them all the time, some of the things that they've been able to do have really been humbling and inspiring to watch."
Team battle
The Panthers finished runner-up to Griswold last year in both the ECC and Class SS championships.
"The goal is to win both and you know who we're running against: our next-door neighbors," Grant said. "It's exciting. I think it's kind of funny that we're both in the same conference and in the same neck of the woods and we're trying to achieve the same thing."
The key is simple: how do the two teams fare beyond their first two runners as Ruffo, Brehler, Plainfield's Liz Larned and Griswold's Meagan Perez will balance each other out. That leaves the two teams' fate in the hands of their 3-4-5 finishers.
Both Plainfield (Medium Division) and Griswold (Small Division) will likely come out with titles, but there will be another competition. Both Norwich Free Academy and Fitch are 4-1 in the Large Division and the championship race will break that tie.
NFA favored
The NFA boys are again the favorites to win not only the Large Division championship, but also the overall title when the boys race gets underway at 3 p.m. today.
It was a position that Wildcats' coach Chad Johnson honestly didn't expect to be in.
"Last year at the end of the championship race, we went down the list of seniors we were losing and it didn't look good. We had a lot of work to do," Johnson said.
The team did that work and then got a bonus when Connor Gralton, the individual favorite this year, transferred in from St. Bernard.
"It's ironic," Johnson mused. "We generally have a deep pack and no frontrunner. Now, we have a frontrunner and we're working on the pack."
The Wildcats finished the regular season 10-0 and 5-0 in the Large Division. The biggest competition today will come from Ledyard, which will also be the source of Gralton's biggest concern, Colonels' frontrunner Bryce Hedman.

Left 4 Dead 2 Cold Stream
Left 4 Dead 2 Cold Stream SCREENSHOT DOWNLOAD FOR FREE
Left 4 Dead 2 Cold Stream FREE DESCRIPTION
That campaign is Cold Stream, and it's hopefully the first of many. A four-part trot along a forest watercourse which finds time for crowded sewers and vertiginous bridge-top battles, it sits alongside the events of Left 4 Dead 2 canon, and is built for raw intensity rather than dread. Every single chapter culminates with a make-or-break battle against swarming Infected, and you'll have shot, hacked, pummelled and exploded more than your fair share by the time you reach the tipping point.
The mood can feel a bit bombastic as a consequence: thanks to unceasing pressure from the Horde, there's relatively little time to excavate an area's secrets and build up the trepidation that makes, say, the early stages of Hard Rain so enjoyable. But if the barrage is relentless, the layouts do a solid job of keeping things fresh.
One of the first chapter's trump cards is a sliding tunnel entrance which triggers an upsurge of Infected, giving new force to the phrase "opening a can of worms". The second chapter polishes off with a Gauntlet event which sends you into a sewage pipe, the water sweeping you towards a precipice, and the third transports the group to a towering flyover (here be Grenade Launchers). Early in the fourth, there's a murderous series of waterfalls which can be easily exploited by Versus players to trap Survivors where they can't be rescued.

DNC Chair Cattle Call, Week One
by Chris Bowers, Thu Nov 11, 2004 at 11:14:43 AM EST
Cobbling together as much information as I can, right now I think the battle for the next chair is basically a four-way race. There are 440 members of the national committee, and they will elect a new chairman early next year.
The Big Four
- 1. Harold Ickes. If he is the choice of the Clinton people, as is the rumor, he must have the inside track right now.
- 2. Simon Rosenberg. He is interested, or is at least floating a trial balloon (my apologies to Rosenberg fans who will certainly dislike the link I produced--it was the most recent one I could find). With centrist and insider cred, coupled with respect among the netroots, he might be able to emerge as a compromise figure between the Clinton and Dean people.
- 3. Howard Dean. If people like Breaux are warning about Dean, then our Internet polls and netroots are not the only people pushing for him to become the next chair. And yes, he is interested.
- 4. Jean Shaheen.Seems to have emerged as the favorite of the Kerry people, and is supposedly "testing the waters." Hard to know how much having Kerry's backing will help her now. Pelosi also seems to be backing her, which could quickly allow Shaheen to move up in the rankings.
- John Edwards. Would he really want to? It would keep him from running in 2008. Also, with all the other southerners being floated, why is he so rarely mentioned if he is a serious contender. Still, his uncertain immediate future and prestige within the party prevent from entirely scratching him off the list.
- Tom Vilsack. Much like Edwards, I really don't see Vilsack going for the job because he is certain to run in 2008. In Democratic circles, if you came as close to the VP nod as Vilsack is, that means either that you already ran for President (Vilsack hasn't), or that you have not only indicated that you want to run for President, but that you have been given the green light to do so by the party powerful. Further, would he really want to leave office right now? Then again, he could use the DNC position as a means of setting up a run sometime after 2008.
- Brad Carson. A longshot. Rumored to be the favorite of some southern Democrats (I suppose those southern Democrats not directly allied with Clinton). An aide of his recently either popped the trial balloon he was floating, or at least attempted to end speculation while Carson tests the waters.
The former African-American mayor of Dallas got trounced in his Senate race in 2002. But he was a popular figure in Republican Dallas and has had some crossover appeal. A good public speaker. An intriguing possibility.
Dennis Archer
I know very little about this former Detroit mayor.
Wellington Webb
I know even less about this former Denver mayor.
Antonio Villaraigosa
Villaraigosa is a former speaker of the California Assembly and failed Los Angeles mayoral candidate. He's an old school political machine type of politico. I want someone more innovative.
- Roy Barnes: The Southern wing seems to have their man in Brad Carson, should Harold Ickes fail or drop out.
- Inez Tenenbaum: See Roy Barnes.
- Mark Warner: Warner will (justifiably) receive a lot of pressure to run against Allen for Senate in 2006, or at least complete his only term as Governor. This pretty much puts him out of the running.
- Bill Clinton: Three words: not gonna happen. Anyway, why would he supposedly be backing someone else if he wanted the job? All he would need to win the job is to ask for it.
- Donna Brazille: Hotline claims she is out. Gore's people never achieved anywhere near the same level of prestige within the party as Clinton's people anyway.
- Leon Panetta He was mentioned at first, but I haven't heard anything about him since. With Ickes receiving so much attention, and with Panetta being Ickes boss at one time, it is hard to imagine that he is in play.
Update: Apparently, Vilsack might be interested after all. It is a qualified sort of interest that might merely be playing to Iowans. Keep your eyes open...

I know it's frustrating for iPad and iPhone users to have AirPrint on their device but not be able to use it. While some people may have a printer that supports AirPrint many do not. That leaves us with third party solutions to allow people to utilize the printing feature on iOS devices.
Not long after Apple released the AirPrint feature, developers starred coming up with software or tweaks that would allow AirPlay to work on printers that does not support AirPlay. The options have been some what limited, especially for Windows users.
Up until the release of iOS 5 there was a free download called AirPrint Installer that would allow iOS users to print wirelessly with printers that are not officially supported. As some of our readers pointed out the tweak no longer works after upgrading to iOS 5.
Since we know just about everyone wants to upgrade to the latest software, we have found another solution. The software is called FingerPrint from Collobos Software.
It does not require you to jailbreak your iPad, in fact you don't need to install anything on your iPad. The software is compatible with both Windows and Mac. FingerPrint for Max OS X is $7.99 and FingerPrint for Windows is $9.99, they both have a free trial.
While it's not a free solution, there are some advantages over AirPrint Installer. First, the set up is a breeze. After you download the software, it's a typical Windows setup where the install wizard guides you through the installation. It took me less than 5 minutes to download and install the software. After the installation was complete my printers showed up when I selected to print using AirPrint on my iPad. I would call the setup pretty much seamless.
Another advantage over AirPrint Installer is the "Open on My PC" feature. When you select this option as a printer, instead of printing the document it just opens it on your PC.
Unlike AirPrint Installer, FringerPrint also appears to have customer support from the developer. So, if you have any trouble with it working you can send questions directly to the company who made the software.
I highly recommend to install the free trial so make sure it works before you make the purchase.
View this Post for more AirPrint options on a Mac.
I just tried fingerprint, using IOS 5, and it works beautifully. It prints quickly, which is important to me because I earlier had a trial with Printopia and it seemed as if printing was very sluggish from both ipad and MacBook Pro. I bought the software, basically after a 10 minute trial. I also hace PrintCentral Pro, which I bought when I first bought my ipad, but using airprint is a much smoother operation, I think. Liz
Excellent and very timely post, you seemed to be first to solve the iOS 5.0 problem! I wrote up my own success stories using it with a USB attached-Epson photo printer, and 3 networked Brother printers, at:
I recently upgraded to IOS5 and lost my airprint capablity on my Iphone4. This solution works great. Installation is simple. Just download the executable from the Collobos website and install on your computer. No need to mess with any settings on the Iphone itself. The printers automatically show on the Iphone. I highly recommend this product.
Thanks for this very helpful tool. Came just in time and works like a charme on Windows Server 2008 R2 and OKI MFC.
Thanks for the post, what a lifesaver. Almost panicked when I saw all the printers disappear after the upgrade. Downloaded the trial and purchased in five minutes. The only issue I am having is an inability to turn certain printers off so they don't show up in airprint. Many thanks!
I installed FingerPrint and as advertised, it works extreamly well and has many options. Not as advertised, on my W7 computer, you can not minimize it or run it in the background, so it sits there staring at you until some decides to close it. Then you open up your i-somthing and you can't print until you go back to the computer and start the program back up. AirPrint was much easier and more dependable. Also, contacted FingerPrint tech support last week and haven't heard back yet.
Interesting App, but doesn't run as a service (AirPrint ran as a service). As a result, a user must be logged onto the PC in order for Finger Print to work. Not quite there yet.
Highlight the printer you want and click the space bar. It turns the printer off from showing in the list. I don't know why i thought to try this, but it works.
Nice, but…
Now everyone in my office can print to my screen….
This really needs a way limit user access so i can select just my devices to broadcast available printers to.
Trial edition worked well.
Note it does not run as a service. I emailed the devs, they said they are working on this as a future feature.
Also note that (on windows) this app shares ALL printers, including the annoying crap that always seems to be there like Fax, send to One Note, and so on.
I contacted FingerPrint support this morning asking if they were considering making FingerPrint a Windows Service. I got an immediate reply, "Yes we are working on it now.".
Really nice tool which I sought after upgrading to the iOS5. However, when I tried to print after selecting my printer which is under the same wi-fi network, an error message came out stating "Some errors are occurred during printing this document". Is this because the Fingerprint I have installed is Trial version? Do I have to buy the license to make the Fingerprint to work for real??
FingerPrint doesn't work as windows service!!!!
The fact that it won't work as a service, and that I have to manually start FingerPrint every time I boot up my computer, is keeping me from buying it.
I hope the developers will change the way their program works very soon.
I am having the same issue with the free trail download. It recognizes the printers just fine but you get an error when you actually try to print something.
Not sure how to troubleshoot.
So I'm not sure if I understand. Am I able to print from my iPhone without having my PC turned on??? Thanks
I looks like that is the case. iOS 5 caused issues with almost every other way to enable AirPrint. As soon as there are better options available I will update the post.
@Matt: Nope. FingerPrint runs on your PC which must be on.
Very disappointed. FingerPrint worked perfect for the first few times. Now, although the printers show up on the iPod, nothing prints. I've tried everything I can think of. Made sure the fire wall is not blocking. Even added the UPC and TCP ports.
Any suggestions?
I have never had software downloaded and operational in less than 4 minutes. Awesome! I highly recommend fingerprint.
Just tried the trial of Fingerprint. after losing Airprint for Windows to iOS5. So easy to install and set up and worked first time through my XP machine and connected Canon MP510 printer. I didn't hesitate to purchase license. A great product, highly recommended.
If you want to print from an iPad this what you want (unless you have an AirPrint printer)…
The apps you put on the iPad from the app store do not fit the bill! The don't work the way you think they will…
This is app you put on your computer…not on the iPad…mine happens to be win7…
once you install it…your printer is available in the iPad apps…just the way you want it…no cutting no pasting…no opening in a different window…
For example if you want to print a word doc that is an email Attachment…open the attachment in the viewer…hit the icon in the upper right…choose print…and your printer is there….
Easy…precisely how you'd expect it to be….
Installed FingerPrint. Worked perfectly. IT now runs as a process on Win XP. Good solution for AirPrint.
how do you manage to start the new FingerPrint version as a process? Do you need a helper program like RunAsSvc? Thanks!
Works perfectly on iPad and Windows XP. Shows the 3 printers I have on the network (an HP, an HP Laser, and a Brother printer-copier-fax. Easy to download and install. In short, hassle free. I'm rather pleased for $10 I managed to solve a major annoyance with the iPad.
It works fine! We tested with W7 & WS2008 Standar edition
Something to recall .. Printers to use with fingerprint have to be installed locally on the server or Workstation and not being mapped printers from other server or workstation.
It works fast from ipads 2 and iphones 3GS & 4
Pingback: Airprint with non-HP Printer
Now all we need is a functioning tool to make AirPrint available on a Windows server, with control of user rights etc.
Having a Windows AD setup with several large multifunctioning scanners/printers around the Campus + printing from IPads with Ios5 = no way, worked like a charm prior to Ios5….
Doesn't seem to work on 64bit Windows 7. Emailed the developer but got no response. So not a usable solution for me.
this solution does its job perfectly and is far better than all other iOS printing apps for windows attached printers. After very smooth installation ran it on my 64bit windows. All my installed local and remote printers showed up in printing dialog on my ipad. Printing is done very quickly – sofar i'm not seeing any problems with it.
It worked fine until I rebooted my iPad then all of the printer options disappeared and I've not been able to get them back. I would love for it to work.
I have a 64 bit Win 7 desktop.
vous pouvez utiliser l'application Eprint dispo sur l'appstore en version d'évaluation compatible avec toute imprimante reliée en ethernet sur votre routeur adsl pour ceux qui ne possèdent pas d'imprimante airprint … il suffit juste de renseigner l'ip de votre machine …Enjoy
Worked first day I installed it on my Vista computer
Next day not working.
I even rebooted the computer and still not working.
Good thing I did not buy the first day.
I found the next day that if printing does not work on my iPad I have to restart the iPad to find printers
I was able to make Airprint work with IOS 5 !!! here is what you need to do :
First , if you had installed Airprint before and if the Airprint Service is still in your Service list ( you can check by running the command: services.msc ) you need to unregister it .
to do so type at the command Prompt ( Make sure your run the command line as an administrator ) :
sc.exe delete Airprint
Now we are going to re-register the Airprint service but with a slight different Command option:
At the command line type the following 2 commands:
sc.exe create AirPrint binPath= "C:\Program Files\AirPrint\airprint.exe -R _ipp._tcp,_universal -s" depend= "Bonjour Service" start= auto
sc.exe start Airprint
at this point , you should now be able to see a list of your shared printers from your IOS 5 Device !
If you don't see any lock icon next to your printer name, then you're good to go !
If you see a lock icon next to the printer name, make sure you enable the guest account in windows
Once you enable the guest account , restart the Airprint service and Voila ! you now can print from your IOS 5 Device !
Want to thank Takelei for finding the solution to this issue !
Guimon, AWESOME, dude! That worked!
Is that a comma or period after "tcp"?
Also is there a space between -R and _ipp?
Unfortunatelly I'm not able to get it working (tried with Vista, Win7 and XP). The "Lock" icon still remain although the Windows Guest account is enabled. If I click the printer no logon prompt or something else is coming up. Access to file shares with the TIOD app to the Windows PC is working well. Any idea about this?
Best regards, Michael
Many Many Thanks Guimon!
Now the only thing that is needed for me is get this working without the Guest Account… A login like it was there in iOS4 would be awesome to have… Maybe later.
Thanks for the awesome setting discovery! ^^
@ Vincent: comma and yes a space.
@ Michael: For me the lock was gone after enabling Guest account. Maybe you should check the sharing options of your printer and reboot the machine?
Trying to follow the instructions from Guimon and get the following message.Can anyone help? Thanks.

I bought my wife an iPad, and want to be able to print on our wireless Epson Workforce. Our home network has two computers: a desktop PC hardwired to the router, and a wireless laptop PC. I loaded/installed Fingerprint on the desktop, and the iPad doesn't see it. I loaded/installed Fingerprint on the laptop, and the iPad recognizes it and can print through it. Both PCs are running XP.
Does the PC that is hosting Fingerprint for the iPad have to be connected to the network 'wirelessly?' The laptop is failing and will be decommissioned soon, leaving only the hardwired desktop and the iPad. Do I have to shove a wireless NIC into my desktop? …or is Fingerprint simply not going to work in this environment?

Here the correct syntax to get airprint working for iOS5:
sc.exe create AirPrint binpath= "C:\Program Files\AirPrint\airprint.exe -R _ipp._tcp,_universal -s" depend= "Bonjour Service" start= auto
My trial and error discovered …needed additional escaped quotes because pathname included spaces and exact character used for quotes was important.
This did not work…wrong type of quotes…
sc.exe create AirPrint binPath= "\"C:\Program Files\AirPrint\airprint.exe\" -R _ipp._tcp,_universal -s" depend= "Bonjour Service" start= auto
This works…notice the different type of quotes…
sc create AirPrint binPath= "\"C:\Program Files\AirPrint\airprint.exe\" -R _ipp._tcp,_universal -s" depend= "Bonjour Service" start= auto
Hope this helps
This worked for me !!
I'm running Windows 7 32-bit, and have a Brother printer attached to my PC through a USB cable. I have an iPad 1 and my daughter has an iPad 2. We had Airprint installed on this PC and printing was working for both of us before we upgraded to iOS5 and then the printers just stopped showing.
Here's what I did (with some edits from process posted by Guimon):
1. Went to 'control panel –> user accounts' and enabled (turn on) the Guest account.
2. Started 'cmd' – remember to Run as Administrator (see Guimon's post on how to do this)
3. Deleted the Airprint service — sc.exe delete Airprint
4. Reboot windows – I needed this step to allow the service to be removed from memory.
5. Restart 'cmd' as Administrator. Don't forget the Administrator part, it's important.
6. Created the service again — sc.exe create AirPrint binPath= "D:\Program Files\AirPrint\airprint.exe -R _ipp._tcp,_universal -s" depend= "Bonjour Service" start= auto
7. Started the service — sc.exe start Airprint
Make sure the path of your AirPrint folder is correct in Step 6. I have my Program Files on the D drive, but it's also common to have this folder on C drive, so please make sure to check once. If you create the service with an incorrect location it will accept the 'create' in Step 6 but won't 'start' the service in Step 7. In that case, just 'delete' the service (sc.exe delete AirPrint //doesn't require a restart so you should be able to recover fairly quickly if you do make this error) and 'create' and 'start' again with the right folder location.
Went off without a hitch. Now I can see printers listed on my iPad and ran a test print. Prints just like it used to before upgrading to iOS5!
Thanks, Guimon!
I'm getting the same error as Jeff. I was thinking that since my airprint is stored in a different path (Program Files (x86)) since I'm using Windows 7 64-bit, that was the problem, but I changed the command to include the "(x86)" and that still didn't fix the issue. Help anyone?
Luigi, I copied and pasted your exact text and am still getting the same message (see below). Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Jeff

@Jeff :
Your command :
C:\Windows\system32>sc.exe create AirPrint binpath= "C:\Program Files\AirPrint\
irprint.exe -R _ipp._tcp,_universal -s" depend= "Bonjour Service" start= auto
==> irprint.exe -R ==> It's missing an "a" for "airprint.exe -R".
Trialled and paid on the same day, great program but really need the service though, I'm running it on a Windows Home server and don't want it to be logged on all the time.
Thanks, the "a" was there, just got lost in my cut and paste. So I'm pretty sure I have the correct command, just keep getting the message response shown above.
I too had an issue with Win7 x64, but then I figured out the problem was copy/paste. You need to watch those smart quote characters – they look correct, but they feed garbage into the command. I used the following:
C:\Windows\system32\sc.exe create AirPrint binPath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\AirPrint\airprint.exe -R _ipp._tcp,_universal -s" depend= "Bonjour Service" start= auto DisplayName= "Apple AirPrint for Windows"
Even that one I just posted converted to smart quotes. I suggest typing the command instead of copy/paste or you can paste to notepad, fix the quotes, and copy/paste from there to cmd.
Partial success Thanks to David's note regarding the smart quotes, I made those changes and the command worked. However, when I typed in the 2nd command (sc.exe start AirPrint), I get a not found or access is denied message. When I go directly to services.msc, I find thevairprintbservice, butbwhen I try to start it, I get a error saying that the system could not find the file specified. Any ideas?
You do not have to turn on Guest Account to remove the lock on any shared printer. This should work with any User Account that uses a password. I don't know if it will work for a User Account that has no password (you could try deleting the Password and Confirm Password boxes and leaving them blank).
In Windows Vista Home Premium (SP2):
Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services
Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Administrative Tools > Services
Double-Click AirPrint
Click the Log On tab
Click on This Account button
Type in the name account ".\NAME OF USER ACCOUNT" without the quotes but with the period and backslash into the blank box.
If you don't know the name of your account, select User Accounts in Control Panel or click on Browse beside the box. Click on Advanced then Find Now. Highlight the main account you use on your computer. Click OK and then Click OK again.
You should be back on the Log On tab. Delete the dots in the Password box and type in the password you use to log in into your User Account. Repeat in the Confirm Password box.
Click Apply.
Stop the AirPrint service.
Restart the AirPrint service.
The lock should disappear on your iOS device. You may have to reboot the iOS device for the lock to disappear.
Tried this on an iPod Touch 4G, iPad and iPad 2 and all see the shared printer and print without problems. I even get warnings about out of paper or out of ink on my iOS devices.
I hope my instructions are clear and correct – I had to keep returning back to the AirPrint service screen to figure out the next step. Post a comment with any corrections or improvements or questions or discussion.
I can't speak to the security implications of allowing a service to log on as a user account. From the info I found online, logging as a user account, does give the service access to the network. Also, if you change your User Account password, you will have to change the password in the AirPrint service.
I stand corrected. Above procedure stopped work this morning. Interestingly enough the printer in iOS had both a checkmark AND a padlock beside it. I really don't want to enable the guest account. Leave it to Apple to make something that could be useful a complete pain in the butt.
Hey guys–"AirPrint Activator" DOES WORK with iOS 5.
@Vincent Clement–the problem with that guest account thing is a windows and "FingerPrint" problem, not Apple's. Plus, they never opened AirPrint "officially" to work with anything but AirPrint enabled printers, in part to eliminate hassle just like this.
BUT–I have enough printers and didn't want to buy another ink guzzling machine that had AirPrint officially built in.
So, I'm using AirPrint Activator, version 2.1b2, from netputing.com and it works perfectly! It lets me use any printer in my home, both wireless printers that connect directly to my SO/HO network, as well as printers attached by cable to any of my computers on my home network.
AirPrint Activator, still free. And working with my iPhone 4S, iPod touch, and iPad 2–all running iOS 5
Please ignore my last comment… I came across this late at night without fully noticing the AirPrint **FOR WINDOWS** was what's described as not working with iOS 5. I knew that I'd previously had to update my AirPrint Activator version to make my iMac happy, and in my sleepy state thought that maybe people wo found this old article now would need to know they just needed a new version…so, my heart was in the right place, by my sleepy head is not. LOL!!
I just downloaded FingerPrint to my desktop computer running XP. The printer connected to the computer is an old HP1315. It is not a wireless printer nor is it an AirPrint printer. After I downloaded FingerPrint, which is a free trial, I went back to the family room and tried a printing from my iPad 1. Never would believe it would print but it did. I am just thrilled because even though my printer is old I really like it. I guess I should say I have a router and my laptop has wireless connection to my husbands HP6500 printer if this makes any difference.
I tried it and WoW… I like that. Also, the fact that you can send your document to print directly in PDF inside your Dropbox account, is awesome! I recommend it for any iDevice User.
There is a trick for setuping your dropbox folder. First of all, don't forget to create a specific folder inside your Dropbox folder. This folder will be used for the document repository. If your Dropbox Folder is not on your C: Drive, you just have to edit the registry key. Unfortunately, the FingerPrint Software allow you to see only your C Drive. But when you go inside your registry, you can enter the path you want. And it does work.
Yes – I can confirm FingerPrint for Windows works on Win32bit version of Windows 7. Exactly what I want!
I could not get it to work the longest time and then found this made the changes to the service and it worked.
Basically they change the service.
At the command line type the following 2 commands:
sc.exe create AirPrint binPath= "C:\Program Files\AirPrint\airprint.exe -R _ipp._tcp,_universal -s" depend= "Bonjour Service" start= auto
sc.exe start Airprint
Thank you for letting me know about FingerPrint. I gave up on trying to get AirPrint Collaborator to work. FingerPrint is so simple to install and what a convenience. We have iPhone 4S's & iPad connected to a Windows 7 Ultimate 64b PC shared HP LJ 1320. I did not want to buy another HP printer just for AirPrint. FingerPrint was by far the easiest install. The best $10 bucks I have ever spent! Thanks again for the info.
Using the listed commands worked fine without needing to purchase Fingerprint. Thank you for sharing
Pingback: How to easily print from your iPhone or iPad to network printers and USB photo printers, even if not AirPrint compatible | Tinkertry
I have and iPad 2 with iOS5. and after searching around I found this site and as a result downloaded Fingerprint to my iMac. My printer is a HP Photosmart C6180 A-i-O which was not recognised by Air Print. With Fingerprint I can see it but when I ask it to print it keeps trying to print from my 6 x 4 Photo tray. Is there a way to change this? I couldn't find any Help on the Fingerprint site.
I would appreciate any help you can give me.
Collobos FingerPrint for Windows is now available as a service!
Back on Oct 15, 2011, this article appeared i ipadhelp.com, it appears to be the first mention of a solution for iOS 5.0.
That same day, I recorded video of my simple tests, and posted a summary of my good experience with this gem.
I have now received new news from Collobos, announced Jan 30, 2011, they've added FingerPrint for Windows installing as a service!
Thought you might want to know, and for now, it's still just $10 for FingerPrint for Windows.
AirPrint and ios5
Thank you for all your comments on using airprint with ios5. I have managed to set up at home on windows 7 32 bit and print to my printer from iPad2 and Iphone4.
Does anyone know how to enable the service on windows server 2003? Following instuctions from this page i can see printers from my idevices but all have padlocks? Can anyone help?
Fingerprint works as advertised on my Windows 7 PC and Canon MX860 printer win an iPad 2. It allows me to select duplex mode and also warns me that ink levels are low. One thing I haven't been able to figure out, though, is how to print in greyscale. The printer default is set to greyscale, but the iPad only prints in color.
AWESOME! I've wasted a bunch money on stupid apps. Didn't even think about installing a $10 program on my desktop. Outstanding. Thank you for blogging about it… so I could find this link in the search engines. I installed the free version, verified everything printed and immediately purchased the licensed version. THANK YOU!
Some words of warning about FingerPrint. I purchased it, installed it. Worked fine for a few days. now, it does not run. othing changed on the network, and when I double click on the software, there is a message saying Connecting to FingerPrint Service. Now, why in the world would it need to connect to ANY service? I have sent them a support request, their response was to reboot my systems (Did that already) When I pressed for an answer regarding why it needs to connect to their server, their response was they will give me a refund. Obviously, they have NOT told everyone everything we need to know about their software. They may be making copies of what we print on their systems, so beware of what you print using this! More as it happens
I'm thrilled! It worked right away after installing! Thanks!
If you need to print a picture or a part of a document or web page you may wish to look up the app PrintBack by Xerox. Allows you to print by sending via email to a pc without being near the pc. If you travel then print it and you will have it when you get home, works great and inset it to hold my jobs until I get back home.
@Tom McElvy
I initially had the same issue with "Connecting to FingerPrint Service" and assumed the same thing. But it's not trying to connect to their servers. The issue was that there's a Windows Service called "FingerPrint Service" that wasn't started.
Going into your Windows Services you should be able to start it…
Then FingerPrint worked perfectly for me.
@ George
After intalling the FingerPrint Software and opeing it up thats all I get is the message "Connecting to FingerPrint Service" with a green search bar. Any chance you can help me find the Windows Services area you are talking about??
You can Open the Start Menu, in the search line, type services.msc and press Enter.
This should pull up services installed on your computer. Here you can start or disable the Fingerprint service. I think this is what George is referring to.
I just installed this software on a Windows 7 64 bit computer using an HP 8500 all in one printer. It worked like a charm with my iphone 4 running iOS 5.1.
This software is ready for the newest available software for both my pc and my iphone and I give it two thumbs up.
Installed in a minuted and just worked immediately. It opens on the computer in a PDF viewer, automatically connected to my dropbox to where I can now print anything from m y iphone and it shows up as a pdf in a folder in my dropbox.
Buy it.
I have version 126.96.36.1998. It worked initially, but then started saying "Connecting to FingerPrint service. . ."
I followed others advice and went into the services panel. The FingerPrint actually IS running, but the program can't connect to it anyway.
So: The conclusion is that FingerPrint does work, if you are lucky. If you aren't lucky, it doesn't work.
I am currently using this with a Canon Pixma MG6120. Currently installed on Windows 7 x64 Desktop but the desktop needs to be on in order for me to use it. My printer is hooked up to my network wirelessly its not "shared Network" so I can print from any other computer regardless which one is turned on or off. Can I make this same set up happen with fingerprint?? thanks
Try PRINTER PRO LITE – much easier, takes no skills to install, free and takes seconds to start to use it and works perfectly with and WITHOUT wifi printers – IN ONE WORD… JUST AWSOME!!!
We have two iPads with the latest software, but no air printers. We have an HP1518 laser network printer on our wifi home nework.
Downloaded Fingerprint 2 on our home PC (Windows 7). Worked perfectly but would not print the next morning. I had to wake up our PC to print.
To prevent your PC from sleeping so that you can print anytime, go to Start Menu, Control Panel, System & Security, Power Options.
On the Select Power Plan page select Change Plan Settings for the plan selected. Then click Change Settings for the Plan, Next to Put computer to sleep select the drop down arrow which will allow you to choose time options. Select NEVER.
You can also change the monitor display settings but I chose not to.
Hope this helps
I just tried PRINTER PRO LITE and it worked fine, so I went ahead and bought PRINTER PRO 3 ($6.99).
I like the fact that the purchased application is tied to my iPad and that the PC application is free since I have multiple Windows PCs to work with (and I don't want to buy FingerPrint 2 for each PC).
FingerPrint 2 would be more cost-effective in a one-PC, many-Mac environment, but I'm the other way.
has anyone tried print n share? also had great customer support (from personal experience) and seems to give fingerprint a run for its money!
It appears that FingerPrint feels they are the only ones that have the capability to share out printers off a Windows based system … as they have raised the price to $19.95 USD for the Windows version!
I have tested the 2.x version on a Windows server and it does work nicely on any IOS based device on my wireless / wired network. I would say its worth the price IF you have all of your printers shared from one server. I would NOT recommend it though IF you have multiple Win based PCs with shared printers.
As of now they have ditched Fingerprint, are calling it something else and are charging monthly for it. Bugger that. I paid for Fingerprint and now it won't work with the latest version of iOS7. So it's useless.

Calories in an Orange
Oranges are one of the most easily recognizable fruits in the world, as well as being the most cultivated fruit tree on the planet. Oranges taste delicious, and are well known to contain plenty of nutrients, minerals, and vitamins, the most well known of which is of course Vitamin C. As with most fruits, the orange is considered a very healthy food, but are there many calories in an orange? Many people these days are on calorie restricted diets, and if they want to eat oranges as part of their regular meals or snacks, they will need to know how many calories in an orange.
Below is a table showing the calories in oranges of various sizes. The calories in an orange do not include any of the inedible parts of an orange, i.e. the skin or seeds of the orange. We have listed the calories in an orange of three common sizes, being a small orange (96 grams), a medium orange (131 grams) and a large orange (184 grams).
|1 Large Orange
( 3-1/16″ Diameter)
|1 Medium Orange
( 2-5/8″ Diameter)
|1 Small Orange
( 2-3/8″ Diameter)
How Many Calories in an Orange?
So what does the table tell us about how many calories are in an orange? Well firstly we can see that a small orange is only about 45 calories, which is not a huge amount. In fact an orange has about the same amount of calories as an apple. Most of the calories in oranges are in the form of sugars or carbs, and you can see from the list above that oranges are about 11% carbohydrate. If you are on a "low carb" diet of some sort, then knowing how many carbs are in an orange may be important information.
Glycemic Index of Oranges: LOW GI
Oranges have a GI ranking of between 40-44 depending on the variety of orange. This low GI rating means that the calories from an orange (or the energy from an orange) is released into your bloodstream slower than it would be if you had consumed some high GI foods such as candy, honey, or refined white bread. High GI food can cause your body to store fat, while low GI foods such as oranges will give you a more gradual supply of energy, which encourages your body to use some percentage of body fat for energy, rather than conserving it.
Orange Calories and Health
Knowing how many calories are in foods such as oranges is important, but knowing how many calories you should be consuming each day is perhaps even more important. Use this calorie calculator to find out what is the right number of calories for you to consume each day.
As a general rule, the more active your lifestyle, the more calories you will burn on a day-to-day basis, and therefore the more energy (in the form of food) you will need to consume. Your personal weight target will also play a role in designing your diet or eating plan. If you target is to lose half a pound per week, then chances are you will need to eat fewer calories than someone who is trying to increase their weight.
Vitamins in an Orange
Most people have heard that oranges are a great source of Vitamin C, but Vitamin C is just one of the many natural vitamins in a single orange or glass of orange juice. Below is a list of the vitamins in 1 orange of medium size:
- Vitamin A – 295 IU
- Vitamin B1 (thiamine) – 0.114 mg
- Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) – 0.052 mg
- Vitamin E – 0.24 mg
- Niacin – 0.369 mg
- Folate – 39 mcg
- Pantothenic Acid – 0.328 mg
- Vitamin B6 – 0.079 mg
- Vitamin C – 69.7 mg
Minerals in an Orange
Along with the calories and vitamins in an orange, there are also plenty of minerals in this delicious fruit. A single orange has the following minerals:
- Potassium – 237 mg
- Calcium – 52 mg
- Iron – 0.13 mg
- Selenium 0.7 mcg
- Manganese – 0.033 mg
- Phosphorus – 18 mg
- Magnesium – 13 mg
- Copper – 0.059 mg
- Zinc – 0.09 mg
Oranges are an amazingly healthy and versatile fruit; they can be eaten raw, turned into orange juice (although there are usually more calories in orange juice than raw oranges) or cooked in both savory and sweet dishes. They make an excellent snack, and because they are reasonably low in calories, while still being full of vitamins, they make a very healthy treat for kids.

San Diego County man charged with stealing plane
SAN DIEGO - SAN DIEGO (AP) - The pilot of a single-engine plane that made an emergency landing at Los Angeles International Airport has pleaded not guilty to stealing the aircraft from an airfield near San Diego.
San Diego County district attorney spokesman Paul Levikow says 23-year-old Skye Turner entered pleas Thursday to felony counts of stealing an aircraft, grand theft and burglary during an afternoon arraignment.
Turner faces up to three years in prison if convicted.
He was ordered held on $75,000 bail pending his next court hearing on March 8.
A call to the county public defender's office was not immediately returned.
Turner was arrested Feb. 19 after landing the Cirrus SR22, which was reported stolen from Montgomery Field.
The Federal Aviation Administration says Turner had an expired student pilot license.

UPDATE - Feb. 20, 2013: RCMP identified the victims as Tiffany June Goruk, 30, and Jeremy Daniel Snow, 33, both from West Kelowna. Snow served a U.S. prison term for drug smuggling, while Goruk, a mother of two, did not have a criminal record.
B.C. RCMP are investigating a double homicide where the victims were found in a crashed SUV in West Kelowna.
A black SUV had driven into a light standard at the entrance to an apartment complex parking lot on Monday night. RCMP found two dead bodies inside the vehicle.
Investigators determined they did not die as a result of the crash but were actually slain, said a news release on Tuesday.
A witness reported that a man was seen fleeing from the SUV. A police dog tracked a possible suspect trail for several kilometres from the Terra Vita condos, to a wooded area and across a highway but no one was found.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story stated that Jeremy Snow did not have a criminal record, when in fact he does.
Tiffany Goruk was found dead in an SUV in West Kelowna, B.C. Police say she and Jeremy Snow, who was also in the vehicle, were killed.

The symptom of a knee giving out is most often due to a ligament injury. The knee is held together by ligaments, and the sensation of instability, or the knee giving out, is often dues to a tear in one of the knee ligaments.
Injuries to one or multiple ligaments can lead to the two sides of the joint not being held tightly enough in position. Usually symptoms of instability occur with twisting or side-to-side movements. This may occur in sports activities, or may occur with simple tasks such as twisting your knee to get in and out of a car.
Can other injuries cause instability?
Yes. It is common for people to experience instability symptoms with injuries that cause knee pain. Often the body protects itself from pain with involuntary movements. This may 'feel' as though the knee wants to give out, causing a sensation of instability, but it is not due to a ligament injury as described above.
The key difference between true ligamentous instability and a sensation of instability can be detected on examination where your doctor can test the stability of each ligament and determine if it is functioning properly.

---- — The North Shore's only shelter for victims of domestic violence has been closed for more than two months, with no date set to reopen and no clear explanation of why the shelter cannot open.
The director of Salem-based HAWC (Healing Abuse Working for Change) laid blame for the closure on a lack of clarity over the legal process for removing residents and whether the facility is considered a housing program or a clinical program.
"My understanding is the reason is related to the need for clear, statewide termination and appeal policies for shelter guests," Candace Waldron wrote in an email.
But a spokeswoman for the Department of Children and Families, which oversees funding for the shelter, said the facility remains closed in order to complete retraining of staff, as well as "trauma debriefing" for employees who say they were affected by allegations of abuse made by several former shelter guests. A state investigation cleared the shelter of abuse allegations but ordered new training for the staff.
"The shelter's reopening has been delayed in order to provide trauma debriefing for all of the staff that were involved with the recent allegations brought against HAWC," said the spokeswoman, Cayenne Isaksen.
"Additionally, they are being trained to create a structure within the organization to ensure proper supervision is provided and that each staff member has the tools they need to continue to promote trauma-informed services, which will benefit future program participants, as well," Isaksen said.
Both women said yesterday, following a series of emails and calls from a Salem News reporter over two days, that they are now discussing a possible reopening of the shelter "soon."
The HAWC shelter came under scrutiny last April after attorneys from Neighborhood Legal Services representing six shelter residents sent a letter to the Department of Children and Families alleging a "climate of abuse" and retaliation against residents. The residents, through their attorneys, charged that staff at the shelter were evicting women with children with two hours' notice, that women were expected to "beg" for basic needs such as cots, and that women who complained or sought legal assistance suffered retaliation.
The women, some of whom had been asked to leave the shelter because of inappropriate conduct or because they had stayed longer than the 12 weeks the shelter was intended to provide, also sought assistance in Housing Court, where a judge took the position that they were entitled to the same protection as any tenant being evicted from a residence.
The DCF investigation found the abuse and retaliation claims to be unsubstantiated, according to accounts of the report provided by spokeswomen for HAWC and the DCF.
The report also recommended that the agency retrain staff members, develop an improvement plan and clarify termination policies for residents of the shelter, the spokeswomen said.
HAWC has declined to release its copy of the report.
The Salem News last month requested a copy of the DCF report under the state public records law; Isaksen said the agency will release it after its lawyer completes a "redaction," or blacking out the names of individuals in the report.
The shelter stopped accepting new residents last spring, amid the request for investigation. The last resident moved out in October, Waldron said.
Waldron told editors in a meeting at The Salem News that HAWC wants to reopen the shelter but that state officials would not allow it because of the uncertainty over the agency's ability to remove shelter guests who don't want to leave. She said DCF wanted to use Salem as a "test case" on the issue of whether the facility is considered housing, which would subject it to the same requirements landlords face in an eviction proceeding, or a clinical program, which would allow the organization to remove individuals more quickly.
But in an email in response to questions from the newspaper, Isaksen disputed that, saying, "The Department of Children and Families does not intend to use, nor has it been using HAWC as a 'test case' for any practice."
Isaksen said the Salem situation is the first time that anyone in any of the state's domestic violence shelters has raised the question in Housing Court.
All of the Housing Court cases brought by now-former residents have been settled, and there are no open cases, Waldron acknowledged.
Asked how the shelter could be used as a test case if there are no open cases, Waldron responded in an email: "DCF is rightfully trying to avoid a repeat of what happened last year when guests refused to leave the shelter and Housing Court supported them. The policy issues between protecting the safety of guests in a trauma-informed program and housing rights have not yet been clarified."
Waldron said she and DCF have exchanged a series of draft removal policies requested in the DCF's report, including a set of revisions she completed yesterday.
Waldron believes that because the shelter provides services such as safety planning, crisis prevention and intervention, advocacy, support groups, parenting support, child care, and information referrals, it should not be prohibited from immediately removing residents who become disruptive or who might pose a risk to others.
Since April, when HAWC stopped accepting new placements at the shelter, the organization has paid for 48 nights in area motels for clients, Waldron said.
The organization has continued to receive state funding for the six rooms in the shelter, at a rate of $151.28 per room per day, Isaksen said.
Waldron said the shelter's employees are continuing to be paid as they take part in training and work in HAWC offices.
HAWC is continuing its work outside the shelter, which includes staffing a 24-hour hotline, running support groups, providing legal assistance and individual assistance to victims of domestic violence, and working with police and medical workers to prevent abuse and assist victims.

Erika Morphy, Contributor
I write about how companies make money (or should be making money).
Facebook announced it is launching a search engine for its social network called "graph search." This was hardly a shocker—in the run up to the mystery press event, the speculation settled on a Facebook phone, a new way to serve mobile ads on Facebook and, last but not least, social search.
Out of the three choices, I would have thought mobile ad anything would have given Facebook the biggest boost.
Mobile, as we all know, is supposed to lead Facebook to more stable ground and its growing mobile revenues has been the reason for much rejoicing among Facebook shareholders in the recent quarter. But there is an interesting business case to be made for social search—specifically, local social search.
First, though, some details about how the search will work. Graph search is not, as Mark Zuckerberg told reporters, web search. Rather, as the name suggests, it answers questions like "Who are my friends in New Orleans" or " Which of my friends shops at My Organic Market in Rockville".
Topping Google?
In short, it is an internal tool for Facebook users that want to go beyond just typing in a name and pulling up that person's Facebook profile.
However, findings from a Greenlight survey suggest that Facebook could potentially capture close to a quarter of the search market with its own search engine. Greenlight also speculates that Facebook wouldn't have to develop a spectacular engine either–just one well integrated into the Facebook experience.
Here's why, in my opinion: a significant amount of search is for personal needs such as restaurants, doctors, dentists, and so on. I am not necessarily interested in seeing whether a friend from my network researched interest rate trends for mortgages. But recommendations for a kindly local doctor with a nice bedside manner? You bet.
As it happens, such categories are among the fastest growing for search. For example, according to according to a study from YP Local Ad Network released in December, consumers searched 61% more this past year for medical & health care related categories. Pharmacies (144%), medical services (83%), physicians & surgeons (70%), clinics (46%), optometrists (44%), dentists (40%), medical equipment & supplies (39%), and hospitals (38%) all experienced notable search growth. "Perhaps this trend reflects a broadening of digital local search to an older demographic that has become increasingly PC and mobile literate," the study speculated.
And restaurants! I would definitely want to know if a friend recommends a particular restaurant, especially if I trust his taste. And if it turns out to be a bad experience—well I have someone to blame besides myself.
Restaurants comprised 17% of mobile searches on the YPSM Local Ad Network and 10% of all searches, YP said—it is the most searched, clicked and called category online, on mobile devices, and on tablets.
None of this growth is news to Google, which rolls out search-related tools, technologies and ad products to cement its hold on local search on a regular basis–efforts that have been quite successful. But a robust Facebook search tool could easily eat into some of that market share.
Yeah good luck with that… I have had a FB account for 3 almost 4 years and the search has only gotten worse, options removed, schools now all class years lumped together which isn't and issue unless you attended a HS with a graduating class of 1500-2000 people. I see FB as the next AOL once the fad wears off it will run it's self in to the ground.
So much has changed since Facebook was launched. From the timeline layout down to the hash tags and emoticons, changes is always present.
As time pass by Facebook and Google always making a great impact in the online world and even owning the crown in the business world. Their latest feature innovations always persuade users round the globe.
I can even attest to this. Facebook search is not impressive, it sometimes take you to wrong people.

Children line up for early visit from Santa Claus
Bikes, toys given out at Christmas en el Barrio
SAN ANGELO, Texas - The corner lot at West Avenue N and Hill Street on Sunday had all the makings of an early merry Christmas for the approximately 50 children who waited in line for a visit with Santa Claus followed by gifts and cookies.
The annual Christmas en el Barrio began at 10 a.m., but children and their family members began lining up about 9 a.m. to ensure they'd get to take home one of the 80 bicycles lined up on the lot, glinting in the morning sun.
Abel Galvan, who has spearheaded the event the past 15 years after
taking over for its founder, Jesse Ortiz, earlier this month expressed concerns that he didn't have enough donations of new and used bicycles and toys to give the hundreds of children who typically attend the event each year. He needn't worry, though: "The last minute is when everyone comes in with bikes and toys" to donate, Galvan said. "We keep getting blessed more and more."
Sunday's crowd also was significantly smaller than in past years, he said, and, after all the children had received a bicycle, more bikes remained on the lot, and another 70 were at Galvan's home.
"We gave away everything we had last year," Galvan said, adding that about 200 children attended then. "I don't change my dates. It's on the 23rd (of December) every year at 10 o'clock."
Because Dec. 23 fell on a Sunday this year, many of the families who normally would have attended might have been at church, Galvan said.
"No matter what, we're willing to give," he said. "I've got plenty more to give away."
Frank Mayo, who lives across the street from the site of Christmas en el Barrio, saw the crowd that had gathered last year and arrived early Sunday with his son Dylan, 5.
Mayo has raised Dylan on his own since the child was 1 month old, he said.
"It's been a challenge, but I wouldn't trade it for the world," he said, glancing down affectionately at Dylan and hugging the boy against him.
Dylan has a bicycle now, Mayo said, but is outgrowing it.
"There's always going to be a kid (like Dylan) that needs a bike," Mayo said. "It's good to see something like this happen in San Angelo."
Ahead of Mayo and Dylan, Didi Rodriguez stood in line with her mother, Rosalinda Saldana, and sons Alfonso Saldana, 5, and Omar Gomez, 7, who already had their eyes on a pair of bicycles.
"I like the red and blue," Alfonso said, adding of his brother, "I want him to get the blue and yellow."
Saldana, the boys' grandmother, said coming to Christmas en el Barrio is a family tradition. Ortiz, her uncle, started the event, she said.
"I used to go out to my uncle's" for Christmas en el Barrio, she said. "The tradition keeps on going."
Having already collected a toy and bike apiece, Teresa Cavrera, 9, and her sister Jazmyn Saldana, 11, swapped bicycles and promptly sat atop the bikes and discussed what toys they'd received.
"I got a Candy Land" game, Jazmyn told Teresa. "What did you get?"
Jazmyn went to Christmas en el Barrio for the first time with her siblings, mother, aunt and cousins.
"I think it's pretty cool," she said.
"I was going to get a bike for Christmas, but instead I got it now," Teresa added.
The event is geared toward children who are babies up to age 12, said Galvan's daughter, Patricia Cardenas, one of several family members who volunteered Sunday.
"It's giving to kids who are needy who may not have as much," she said. "Of course they're really small, and their faces are lit up. It's exciting. I think they're really appreciative."
Giving, Galvan said, makes him feel good.
"It puts a lot of joy in my heart just like it does these kids," he said.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) announced the 2014 calendar for the U.S. House of Representatives. The calendar is publicly available in printable month-by-month and one-page formats, as well as through a downloadable Google calendar, at MajorityLeader.gov. In a letter sent to Members of Congress regarding the 2014 House calendar, Leader Cantor wrote:
"Over the past three years, the legislative schedule has created certainty, increased efficiency and productivity in the committee process, and protected committee time. To that extent, we will continue to protect each morning for committees so that they may conduct their legislative and oversight work without interruption and we will schedule floor votes for the afternoon and no later than 7:00 p.m. As with this year, consideration of appropriation bills may require evening votes. Additionally, we will adhere to holding last votes of the week no later than 3:00 p.m. on the last day in session.
"This calendar also ensures that we, as elected officials, never lose touch with our constituents while completing our work here in Washington. Time spent back in our districts between Mondays and Fridays is essential for meeting with small businesses, the working middle class, seniors, veterans, and other local communities during regular working hours. This is why we will continue to provide Members with one full constituent work week in our districts each month.
"The House's calendar cannot work unless the Members, themselves, have input. The 2014 calendar reflects the input of this chamber's membership and we will continue to ensure that it facilitates a productive legislative body."

A project that to repair the Branchport Avenue bridge which connects Long Branch and Oceanport has been delayed.
Crews discovered that more work is needed to rehabilitate the bridge's deck; construction that will not allow project to be completed before Memorial Day weekend as originally scheduled. The project began in April.
"Despite the preconstruction testing and evaluation of the bridge, once the bridge's upper deck layer was removed it was evident that additional work was required to repair the bridge deck before the new surface can be applied," Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone said in a release.
"It is unfortunate that this bridge will not be open in time for the unofficial start of summer," Arnone continued. "It is important that the work is completed correctly to ensure the safe passage of vehicles and pedestrians. The bridge will open as soon as is prudent and possible."
A latex modified concrete surface is expected to be applied on Wednesday, weather permitting.
Monmouth County Department of Public Information and Tourism Director Laura Kirpatrick said surface needs to cure for at least a week before strength testing can take place.
Kirpatrick said once the testing is complete, which should take a few days, the bridge should reopen. The county's Department of Public Works and Engineering is overseeing the project, but does not want to commit to a specific completion date for the bridge's reopening.
In the area of the bridge, the roadway is closed to vehicular traffic, but open to pedestrian traffic.
"The replacement of the bridge's deck work will extend the usable life of this bridge," Arnone said in a release.
The scope of this project includes repairs to the existing bridge deck including performing miscellaneous deck, sidewalk and curb spall repairs and the construction of a latex modified concrete overlay on existing bridge deck.

Christmas trees are the centerpiece of the holiday celebrations for many people, and each year, families go to tree farms to cut down their own evergreen, pick one up from a school sale or dig out their trusty fake from the basement.
Here are some places to get a Christmas tree locally:
- Boston Flower Market, North Reading. They have hundreds of Christmas trees. They have everything from table top trees starting at $14.99 to 15 foot trees for over $100. They also have Fraser Firs, those start around $49.99.
- Dandi-Lyons, Reading. They will give your tree a fresh cut and tie it to your car for you. The smallest trees start at $30.
- Walmart, North Reading. Be sure to bring your own rope to tie the tree to your car. Walmart has trees for $20 or $30.
- Northeast Nursery, Peabody: A reader suggested this Route 1 South botanical center. "Slightly high priced but really nice, fresh trees that last a long time and are arranged in stands so they're easy to browse. This year we're just going to start there instead of trying to shop closer to home."
- Smolak Farms, North Andover: A reader said this farm offers both cut-your-own trees and pre-cut trees. "And, just like when you pick apples up there earlier in the fall, they have the stand open for gifts and food treats and the petting zoo to spend your quarters feeding their animals."
