During some teen choice awards show this past weekend, actor Ashton Kutcher made a speech that has since almost broken the Internet.
Kutcher is pretty web-savvy. He was one of the first celebrities to really embrace and gain loads of followers on Twitter. He also was an early investor in Skype.
I'm currently choosing to believe that any of that savvy he possesses didn't make its way into this speech.
As for what he said, it was obviously good for kids to hear. He starts by telling the audience his real name is Chris not Ashton (that's his middle name) then goes on to recall some lessons he learned while he was Chris.
He talked about working hard. He talked about how it's sexy to be smart and generous and thoughtful. And that kids should ignore the pressures put on them by society to conform to some idea of what being attractive is.
I watched this speech and couldn't help be reminded of this speech:
My initial thought was that Kutcher watched this video over and over again as he studied for the role of Steve Jobs in the movie that comes out today.
Yeah. That's right. Kutcher is making the rounds doing promotion for "Jobs."
Was his speech an homage to Jobs? Was it calculated? Was it completely organic?
I'm going to avoid the low road and say at worst it was an homage to Jobs and at best it came straight from his heart.
See Kutcher didn't have the stage at Stanford's commencement to speak on. He wasn't receiving an honorary degree.
Instead he was the recipient of a surfboard for his lifetime of achievement. (Kutcher is 35, by the way).
It's easy to be cynical when it comes to celebrities. Especially ones out shilling for a movie.
But this video and message has gone viral.
Even Rush Limbaugh was singing Kutcher's praises. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/rush-limbaughs-new-bff-ashton-606513
So I'm going to praise Kutcher until proven otherwise.
But I do hope he earns the role in a David Hasselhoff biopic so I can see his homage to this:

We review four 60cm freestanding electric cookers, priced from $1499 to $2749.
These cookers allow you to replace your existing stove without reconfiguring your kitchen.
Unlike the old fashioned chunky looking stoves with high back control panels, these smaller stainless steel freestanding cookers look sleek and streamlined.
Their controls are at the front so your splashback can run across the whole back wall (although this can be a dilemma and an added cost if you're replacing a high back version). Controls that are easily accessible at the front are also risky if you have young children.

Alaska Plane Crash Preliminary Report Released - August 8, 2013
Investigators have released a preliminary report on a plane crash in Alaska that killed all 10 on board.
As expected, the National Transportation Safety Board report released late Wednesday contains no new details about the July 7 crash in Soldotna.
The de Havilland DHC-3 Otter operated by Rediske Air crashed and burned after taking off from the Soldotna airport, about 75 miles southeast of Anchorage on the Kenai Peninsula.
NTSB spokesman Peter Knudson says a final report is expected to be released 12 to 18 months after the crash.
Killed in the crash were the pilot, Walter "Willie" Rediske, and two vacationing families from Greenville, S.C.: Melet and Kimberly Antonakos and their three children, ages 11 to 16; and Chris and Stacey McManus and their two teenage children.Wreckage of plane sent outside of Alaska - July 18, 2013
Pieces of an air taxi that crashed in Alaska, killing 10, have been sent to Washington D.C. and Phoenix.
The Anchorage Daily News says the plane parts will be analyzed as National Transportation Safety Board investigators try to determine the cause of the July 7 crash in Soldotna, about 75 miles southwest of Anchorage.
The de Havilland DHC 3 Otter operated by Rediske Air had just taken off when it crashed.
Killed were all on board, including the pilot Walter "Willie" Rediske.
The passengers were two South Carolina families. They were Melet and Kimberly Antonakos and their three children - 16-year-old Olivia, 14-year-old Mills and 11-year-old Anastacia - and Chris and Stacey and their two children, 17-year-old Meghan and 15-year-old Connor.
Both families lived in Greenville, S. C.

Hundreds Show Up For Memorial Service To Honor Antonakos And McManus Families - July 11, 2013
As the sounds of bagpipes played outside of Christ Church Episcopal, people gathered to remember the two families who died in a plane crash while on vacation in Alaska.
"Both the McManus and Antonakos families were charismatic and bright people with inviting smiles they were just people everybody knew," Christ Church Rector, Harrison McLeod said.
Melet and Kim Antonakos and their children Olivia, Mills, and Ana were on board the commuter plane when it crashed.
Along with them was Dr. Chris McManus his wife Stacey and their two children Meghan and Connor.
"Kids are so verbal they are really looking for ways to give voice to their grief," McLeod said.
That is why Thursday's service was all about helping children and teens cope with such a tragic loss.
The children involved in the crash ranged from 11 to 16 years old.
"I would try and help them understand that life is fragile and life is a gift and not to take any gift for granted," McLeod said.
McLeod tells us the church is providing counseling, he says the only way to truly heal is to have an outlet to express your grief.

Vigil Held For Greenville Families Killed In Alaska Plane Crash - July 9, 2013
Two upstate families killed in a plane crash and the entire community is grieving.
Tuesday night a prayer vigil was held at Gower Pool in Greenville to remember the nine people killed when their commuter plane crashed in Alaska.
The Antonakos family which included Melet, Kim and their three children Olivia, Mills, and Ana were all killed. The Antonakos children were on a swim team and Gower Pool was like their second home.
"That was a very difficult conversation to have with our kids and it broke them down and it's broken us down," family friend Joel Norwood said.
Also on the plane was Greenville doctor Chris McManus his wife Stacy, and their two kids Megan and Connor.
"I think it's rare to find people who are selfless in their giving without any strings attached. I admire that about them," Reverend Richard Grimball said. Grimball is the Senior Chaplain at Christ Church Episcopal School where the McManus children went to school.
Candles were placed into the pool where the Antonakos children spent most of their time practicing with the swim team.
Each candle burned in honor of the victims, the youngest just 11 years old.
Greenville Family Killed In Crash Was Vacationing In Alaska - July 9, 2013
Five members of a vacationing South Carolina family were among those killed in a fiery Alaska plane crash that left all 10 on board dead.
The Antonakos family of Greenville, S.C., usually went to Myrtle Beach, S.C., each summer, but the father of Kimberly Antonakos said Monday his daughter and her family decided to travel to Alaska for 10 days this year instead.
"They were very excited," H. Wayne Clayton said. "They never had been there before and wanted to see what it was like."
Clayton said his son-in-law Melet Antonakos sold computer software to hospitals and doctors' offices, while Kimberly shuffled the three children to their many activities. The children were 16-year-old Olivia, 14-year-old Mills and 11-year-old Ana.
"It's rough, to lose five (family) members at one time, Clayton said.
South Carolina House Majority Leader Bruce Bannister said the other victims were also a family from Greenville, S.C. - Chris McManus and Stacey McManus and their two children.
Investigators have begun their probe into the crash of a de Havilland DHC3 Otter that crashed and burned shortly after 11 a.m. Sunday at the airport in Soldotna, about 75 miles southwest of Anchorage. The plane had just taken off and apparently was en route to a fishing lodge, according to National Transportation Safety Board investigator Clint Johnson.
Bannister said the Antonakos family lived on his street in Greenville. Bannister said the families watched each other's dogs and checked the mail when each was on vacation. Olivia was going to be in 11th grade, Mills was going to be in ninth grade and Anna was going to be in sixth grade next year, he said.
"They were great kids - just a fantastic family," Bannister said.
The victims also included the pilot of the de Havilland DHC3 Otter that went down shortly after 11 a.m. Sunday at the airport in Soldotna, about 75 miles southwest of Anchorage on the Kenai Peninsula, authorities said. Soldotna police said the other four passengers also were from South Carolina, though identities haven't been officially released yet.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the Otter was operated by Rediske Air, based in Nikiski, another Kenai Peninsula community. The pilot of the downed plane was Nikiski-based Walter "Willie" Rediske, company spokesman Andy Harcombe said.
The remains of the victims were sent to the State Medical Examiner's Office in Anchorage for autopsies and positive identifications.
The NTSB sent an investigative team from Washington that arrived in Anchorage Monday afternoon before heading to Soldotna. NTSB member Earl Weener said the on-scene investigation is expected to last between five and eight days, with a probable cause determination expected in about a year.
At the time of the crash, there were light winds and high clouds, Johnson said.
"The weather at this point is obviously still on the table, but it's not something we're centering on," he said. NTSB investigations also look at pilot error and mechanical problems as possible causes.
Rediske Air was involved in an accident last year in Nikiski, according to an NTSB database report.
In the non-injury mishap, the pilot of a Cessna 207A plane misidentified the runway surface at night and landed the aircraft in a snow bank. The pilot said most of the runway lights had been covered by heavy snow and were not clearly visible.
The plane's wings and horizontal stabilizer sustained substantial damage.
In the Soldotna crash, the flames took 10 minutes to extinguish and initially kept firefighters from reaching the wreckage, according to authorities.
The de Havilland is similar to an Otter that crashed in Alaska in 2010, killing former U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens and four others, Johnson said. The plane in the Stevens crash was equipped with floats, while the plane in Sunday's crash had wheels.
Flying in Alaska is common because of the limited road system in the vast state, where planes can encounter such hazards as volatile weather and treacherous mountain passes. The majority of Alaska communities aren't connected to the road system, with small planes providing a vital link to the outside world. They bring in food, medicine, mail and other supplies, and provide for air travel - with scheduled and on-demand flights.
It's possible to drive from Anchorage to Soldotna, but it's about a four-hour trip as the highway hugs Turnagain Arm then cuts through a mountain pass.
Soldotna, with a population of about 4,300, is on the banks of the Kenai River, and the area is busy this time of the year with people fishing for salmon. The airport is located about a mile from a commercial area and has a paved runway that is 5,000 feet long.
Alaska has seen several plane crashes this year, including a June 28 crash that killed a pilot and two passengers on a commercial tour in the Alaska Range. The passengers in that crash also were from South Carolina.
Headmaster Dr. Leonard Kupersmith of Christ Church Episcopal School in Greenville released a statement Tuesday morning about the impact the Alaska plane crash accident is having on their school family:
"The Christ Church Episcopal School community grieves for the loss of two beautiful and loving families. They remain intact and now under God's care. We watched Meghan and Connor McManus grow up at our school. They embodied the best values: kind and compassionate friends, hard working students, and respectful school citizens. They were humble, honest, and cheerful young people whose hearts and minds were vigorous. Stacey and Chris did whatever they could to support our faculty and staff and our students. Chris manned basketball concessions with dexterity and a smile, Stacey was a key member of our Parents Organization. We cherish our years of warm memories of a loving, giving family. We extend our deepest sympathy to the bereaved relatives and friends of the McManus and Antonakas families."
Alaskan Plane Crash Claims Lives Of Upstate Residents - July 8, 2013
Nine victims in a fatal plane crash in Alaska over the weekend are from the Upstate, according to sources.
The wife of House Majority Leader Bruce Bannister (R-Greenville) tells 7 On Your Side two Greenville families were killed in the crash that happened at the Soldonta airport on Sunday.
Mary Margaret Bannister says the Antonakos family and the McManus family, who frequently traveled together, were the victims.
Milton Antonakos, his wife Kimberly, and their three children, Mills, Anna, and Olivia, were killed when the plane went down. Stacey and Dr. Chris McManus and their two children were also killed, according to Bannister.
Antonakos, who also went by Malet, and grew up in Anderson. Rob Powell was a friend of Antonakos and belonged to the same church growing up.
"It's just a real shock especially the aspect that this is a full family and to have their lives taken just like that. Nine people from a community like Greenville," Powell said.
Several people visited the Antonakos home Monday night to say a prayer and sign a book to say goodbye.
"You bring his name up and people would say what a nice guy. I think that anybody who heard about this today who knew Malet, Kim and the whole family will say gosh it's really what you think of as an all-American family."
McManus was one of the lead interventional radiologists with the Greenville Health System. Greenville Health System released a statement concerning the loss of the McManus family.
"We're deeply saddened to hear of the deaths of Dr. Chris McManus and his family," said C. David Williams III, MD, Chair of the Department of Radiology for the Greenville Health System.
"I've had the pleasure of knowing Chris for nearly 15 years, and he has been a wonderful asset to the medical community," said C. David Williams III, MD, Chairman of the Department of Radiology for the Greenville Health System. "He was an extraordinary physician but also an extraordinary human being who was known to be both compassionate and conscientious. Chris was one of our lead Interventional Radiologists, who brought a number of new and innovative diagnostic and therapeutic tools to the community."
The pilot, Walter Rediske, of Nikiski, Alaska also died in the crash involving the de Havilland DHC3 Otter. Soldotna police say the plane was operated by Rediske Air.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating. NTSB investigator Clint Johnson says weather does not appear to be a factor in the crash.

Oh what a difference 2.5 minutes can make.
For Luke Rockhold that's all it took to transform him from a UFC fighter on the rise to just another Middleweight at the back of the pack. The former Strikeforce champ made his UFC debut amidst big expectations. Dana White was talking a title shot. Fans were talking about UFC vs. Strikeforce. Rockhold was talking about the UFC's wack TRT policy.
After less than 3 minutes in the cage with Vitor Belfort, all of that is over.
Rockhold failed to execute his game plan, which essentially boiled down to 'survive the first round.' Now he's back to the drawing board.
Following the fight Rockhold was forthright at the post-fight presser:
"I mean it's hard to say what went wrong. I was feeling good. I was finding my timing. I felt like I was controlling things, and then he landed a spinning heel kick to my head. I felt good in this fight. I had a great camp. I felt good in the fight. I was focused. I don't know if I got overconfident or what exactly happened. I don't know. I thought I had it.
"I felt good. I saw his punches. I saw everything. I was landing some shots. I felt like I was starting to control things, and then I got caught. It happens. TRT had nothing to do with that kick." Rockhold said."It sucks right now. I don't know. I want to get back in there. I want to fight, obviously. Everyone says it, but what can you do at this point? I want to get in there. I want to fight. I want to redeem myself.
"I lost to one of the best guys in the world, and it was something pretty spectacular. I don't know what to really think about anything right now. I just want to get back and fight and beat someone up. That's what I'm focused on. Good job by Vitor. What can I say?"
Despite Rockhold's outward positivism, Josh Gross spins a scenario of more negative thoughts that may nag at Rockhold in the aftermath of losing to a man enjoying what Rockhold believed to be an unfair advantage:
The 28-year-old American ignored his distrust of various systems that are in place to keep fighters in Belfort's position honest. Rockhold accepted the score coming in. That may or may not prevent his apparent idealism from gnawing away at him. We'll see. As it is, a monstrous KO loss in your most important fight as a professional comes across as challenging enough. This is standard practice for fighters, though. It's a rough existence, full of sky highs and crater lows.
Yet if Rockhold is going to settle on a reality in which he was brutally stopped by a guy he's convinced possessed an unfair advantage, where does that leave him outside of having lots to digest.
Should Rockhold stay convinced that Belfort's TRT use isn't above board, how will he handle the "The Phenom" touting, as he has, recent "enhancements" coming from the inside; or newfound physical strength the likes of which he's never experienced; or an ability to push his limits and do things like spar seven seven-minute rounds against rotating partners?
Absent TRT, would Belfort be in position right now to throw KO-capable spinning wheel kicks?
This might be the kind of question that weighs on Rockhold, making bitter more likely than better in the months ahead.
For his sanity's sake, Luke Rockhold is going to need to put the TRT question behind him and focus on himself and his own career. The issues surrounding Vitor Belfort, the UFC's policy on TRT and the behavior of the various athletic commissions regulating the sport should be left to fans, media, the promoters and various state officials to chew through.
Luke Rockhold has plenty to occupy his mind just getting ready for his next fight and finding his place in the UFC pecking order.

The new homes in Quail Valley are part of a growing surge in new construction projects seen around the nation.
The increasing number of new homes has pushed spending on U-S construction projects to their highest levels in four years. And Georgia contractors are finally seeing light at the end of a long tunnel of economic turmoil.
"I am glad to see things growing, I'm very positive about southwest Georgia," said Andy Cooper, a General Contractor. "I'm from here, it's important to me that it succeeds. But as far as the building industry, I agree with what they're saying, all the talking heads. We definitely are seeing an up-tick."
The numbers of new homes have been increasing because of record low interest rates and great deals on new construction. Cooper says a lack of inventory has also contributed to the increase here in Georgia.
"Existing inventory of houses that are on the market have gone off the market either through selling or some of them have gone into the rental market. But a good many of them sold," said Cooper.
New construction saw an overall increase last year, but this year is expected to see further gains. And some of the people who jumped ship during tough market waters are now trying to get back into the industry.
"But a couple of people that got out of the industry have gotten back into it. I had a plumber that was doing work down at the marine base, and now he's gotten back in to open his business back up because he's got enough business to justify it," said Cooper.
While low mortgage rates and rising hiring numbers have contributed to the increased investment in new construction, Cooper cited rising construction costs as another reason for recent building increases.
He also says he hopes city and county leaders will continue to concentrate on growth and development.

Particle 'consistent with Higgs boson' discovered
Scientists say they believe they have captured the elusive Higgs boson - the particle thought to endow matter with mass.Read the full story
Welsh scientists await news of Higgs boson
Welsh scientists are awaiting news from Switzerland today on whether or not the Higgs Boson - a particle thought to give matter mass - has been discovered.
The results will come from Cern, the home of the Large Hadron Collider.
There is a strong Welsh connection to the ground breaking scientific project as Dr Lyn Evans from Aberdare was the project leader.
Named after Peter Higgs - the Edinburgh University physicist who first proposed its existence in 1964 - the Higgs Boson has become one of the most elusive particles in modern science.

---- — Many people had given up years ago on ever finding Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight alive after they vanished without a trace.
But last week's rescue of the three women who had been held captive in a Cleveland, Ohio home for about a decade is renewing hope for police who are determined to solve missing children cases.
"It was a miracle — because in most of these unfortunate tragedies, the victims are not found alive," Kingston Police Chief Donald Briggs said in an interview Friday, reflecting on the Cleveland case that has grabbed national attention.
"This certainly gives you hope that we will find Rachael Garden alive. Previous information that we received was that she's deceased. But there's always hope that she will be found alive," Briggs said.
Briggs was referring to the 15-year-old Newton, N.H. girl who vanished on the night of March 21, 1980 after buying a pack of cigarettes and chewing gum at Rowe's Corner Market on Route 108 in the center of town. She was headed for a friend's home on Main Street, but never showed up.
The Kingston and Newton police departments continue to work closely with New Hamsphire law enforcement officials to find out what happened to the petite girl with hazel eyes and light brown, shoulder-length hair.
"It's always a possibility that Rachael is alive," Newton police Chief Lawrence Streeter said.
"We haven't forgotten about her. The potential is always there (to find Rachael). You always want to shake the bushes and try to develop some information. You never want to forget about it," Streeter said.
Rachael's case is one of four missing-child cases from the Merrimack Valley and Southern New Hampshire posted on the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children's website. Overall, there are 42 cases from Massachusetts and 11 from New Hampshire. They include parental kidnappings, endangered runaways and cases were the child was abducted by a non-family member or stranger.
The other area missing children highlighted on the website (http://www.missingkids.com) include:
Angelo "Andy" Puglisi Jr., 10, of Lawrence, who disappeared Aug. 21, 1976. He was last seen swimming at the Higgins Memorial Pool, a short walking distance from his home at the Stadium Housing Projects. Foul play was suspected.
Judith Chartier, 17, of Chelmsford, who has been missing since June 5, 1982. She left a party that night in Billerica with her boyfriend, dropped him off and continued home. But she was never seen or heard from again. Her car hasn't been found either.
Tammy Belanger, 8, of Exeter, N.H., who disappeared Nov. 13, 1984. The little brown-eyed brunette with the lazy eye was last seen at about 8 a.m. on Court Street in Exeter, walking to school.
Detectives and police involved in the investigation of each these cases have been frustrated at being unable to solve their respective childhood abductions after years of dogged pursuit of leads. Most concede the chances are slim for a happy ending and that they are working to solve abduction homicides now — to bring closure and peace to surviving family members.
The trail has grown the coldest in Lawrence, where police Chief John Romero notes the investigation has been inactive for several years. About five years ago, police did some digging in the woods behind South Lawrence East School, but found nothing. That was the last time they worked on a lead in the cold case of Andy Puglisi, according to Romero.
There have been two promising pedophile suspects in the case.
Wayne W. Chapman, a Providence R.I., man, was convicted of raping two boys after luring them from the same swimming pool a year earlier.
Then there was Charles E. Pierce, a Haverhill drifter and carnival worker who kidnapped and killed 13-year-old Michelle Wilson of Boxford in 1969. Three weeks before he died in prison in 1999, Pierce confessed to killing an unidentified boy in Lawrence. Some believed it may have been Andy.
Investigators never obtained the evidence to charge either suspect.
"This case is almost four decades old, so, obviously the general consensus is that people don't hold a lot of hope that he's (Andy) alive," Romero said in an interview last week.
"It's a case that we look at from time to time. It's a case we'd like to solve for the family's sake as well as the city's sake. We'd certainly like to be able to bring closure to this and find out what happened to Andy," the chief said.
"This is a case that the city has talked about for almost 40 years. People want to know what happened. If we ever solve it, it will only be because somebody who knows something talks and information we developed from a tip. We have followed up on every lead that's been made available to us over the years," he said.
While the Lawrence police investigation into Andy Puglisi's disappearance has been virtually dormant for several years, Romero hopes that the national coverage of the Cleveland case will generate new public interest locally.
"Certainly, it (the Cleveland case) can have a positive impact on our case," Romero said.
"Everybody's talking about what happened there. Locally, people will want to know what's going on with our case. So, there's always the possibility that somebody starts talking and it develops a good lead for us. There's always hope. It's also possible he could still be alive. We don't know. Cold cases get solved in this country every day. We get tips on crimes that occurred decades ago," he said.
When people stop talking about an unsolved, high profile missing child case, the chances of solving it grow slim, Romero acknowledged.
"But it's not unheard of to get tips that are very, very old. And I'm hoping that we'll get a few to help solve this case," he said.
Keeping the case in the public eye is what has been driving the ongoing leads received by police investigating Rachael Garden's abduction — even after 33 years, according to Kingston police Chief Briggs.
"We're continuing to chase down any and all leads that pertain to the disappearance of Rachael Garden," Briggs said.
"It still continues to be a very active investigation and we've got a $10,000 reward we're offering to anyone who helps solve it. And we would encourage anyone with any information to come in and talk to us or call us anonymously," he said.
Meanwhile in Exeter, police Chief Richard Kane has named the person he believes abducted 8-year-old Tammy Belanger: Victor Wonyetye, a long-time suspect who died in a Florida prison hospital last December.
"He was the one that committed that crime," Kane told WMUR (Channel 9) last week.
The chief told the Manchester, N.H. television station that Wonyetye's death's might develop new leads while encouraging other potential witnesses to come forward. Wonyetye worked in an auto body repair shop near the Lincoln Street School at the time of Tammy's disappearance.
Later this month, the area's four long-term missing children will be remembered with hundreds of others as the country observes the 30th annual National Missing Children's Day. President Ronald Reagan declared the day in 1983 to call attention to the issue of missing children. He chose May 25 — it was on that day in 1979 when 6-year-old Etan Patz was abducted from a New York City street corner on his way to school. He has never been found.
It will also be a day when the nation also celebrates the virtue of hope, which led to last week's finding of three Cleveland women alive a decade after their abductions.
"Just because a case remains unsolved for many years does not make it less important to families, law enforcement or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children," the center notes on its website.
"Missing children are never forgotten and NCMEC will work diligently to ensure these children are physically located and returned to their families," it continued.
The center is a private, nonprofit organization. It cooperates with law enforcement, families and social-service agencies to find missing children and to prevent exploitation. Since it was founded in 1984, the center has handled more than 3.7 million calls about missing children through its national toll-free hot line, 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678), circulated billions of photos of missing children and helped law enforcement recover more than 183,000 missing children.

The Associated Press
NEW YORK — A year after Superstorm Sandy sent more than six feet of ocean water into their ice cream store and destroyed everything inside, Brian and Michelle McMullin are still waiting to hear if they'll get grant money from New Jersey to help pay rebuilding costs.
But 60 miles away, in New York City, a $250,000 grant from a utility helped Madelaine Chocolate start its recovery after more than four feet of water flooded the factory and left mud, rust and mold covering walls, floors and more than 100 pieces of equipment.
Small business owners who applied for grants after the Oct. 29, 2012, storm are more likely to have gotten money by now from private sources like corporations, charities and chambers of commerce rather than the government. The problem: States must, by law, follow certain steps to give grants. But a lack of planning and negative attitudes about businesses also stand in the way of getting money quickly to companies that need it, according to people who study disaster recovery.
There's no reliable total of how much grant money was available or given out following Sandy. Money comes from a variety of sources, and states are still making grants almost a year later. But it's clear that there are haves and have-nots among small companies who suffered heavy losses.
The McMullins applied for grant money from New Jersey eight months ago to help pay for the heavy damage to their ice cream store, Gracie and The Dudes, in Sea Bright, N.J. The store took on 6½ feet of salt water that ruined the walls, heating and air conditioning system, plumbing and electrical system. Brian McMullin estimates the damage at over $680,000. His insurance company paid just $223,000, citing depreciation in the building's value.
McMullin describes the ongoing application process as long and frustrating, with continual requests from the state for detailed information about the value of each piece of equipment he lost, how long he's been in business and more. Caseworkers frequently change and each requests different information.
"How much do you need to prove?" McMullin said. "They saw the damage, they've seen the estimates."
The McMullins rebuilt but couldn't reopen until two weeks after Labor Day, missing the summer, when they make 85 percent of their annual revenue. They raised money for the repairs by selling one of their two other stores and cashing in savings and their four children's college funds.
Officials of New Jersey's Economic Development Authority, which administers the grants, were not available to be interviewed despite repeated requests by The Associated Press, according to Virginia Pellerin, a spokeswoman for the agency.
"It's just an incredibly busy time and the availability of our senior leadership is very limited," Pellerin said in an email.
The development authority has been advertising the grants. But many business owners are waiting for money. Dina Long, the mayor of Sea Bright, says she knows of just one business in the borough that has received a grant. Officials approved 102 grant applications statewide as of Tuesday, and 712 have been submitted and are being reviewed, Pellerin said in an email.
A $250,000 grant from natural gas utility National Grid helped Madelaine Chocolates, located in New York City's Rockaway section, reopen after it was flooded by 44 inches of water.
Salt water, mud and rust damaged the equipment in Madelaine's 100,000-square foot building. Walls, floor, ceiling and electrical equipment had to be repaired or replaced. The company lost nearly 2 million pounds of chocolate — 175,000 pounds of finished products, about 500,000 pounds of unfinished chocolate and 250,000 pounds of liquid chocolate.
"The place was devastated," said CEO Jorge Farber. "We couldn't go through the door at the beginning because everything was strewn all over the place," Farber says.
He estimates costs from damage and lost revenue at $50 million. Besides the grant, he's gotten an SBA loan and money from his finance company and used personal assets. The $15 million Farber pulled together paid for cleanup and the repair of enough machinery to resume partial production on July 1. Madelaine turns out 60 percent of its normal capacity of 100,000 pounds of chocolate a day. It has rehired 100 of its 425 workers.

Heston Blumenthal's Darwen visit to hit screens tonight
4:36pm Tuesday 20th November 2012 in News
HESTON Blumenthal's day in Darwen is screened on television tonight.
The popular celebrity chef, who came to town as part of his new series, 'Heston's Fantastical Food, hosted the world's largest tea party in the Market Square earlier this year.
Mr Blumenthal attracted a crowd of hundreds to the town centre as he brewed up a gigantic pot of tea and provided over-sized chocolate biscuits to be dunked.
The aim of the show was to bring back the great British tea break, which was an institution in industrial towns like Darwen in the past.
The episode is the third in the series, with the previous episodes seeing him cook up a huge breakfast in Birmingham and a gigantic ice cream in Gloucester.
The show goes out on Channel Four at 9pm.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - Construction on the
Battleship North Carolina started over 75 years ago. For the
most part, the vessel is in pretty good condition, but over the years, Mother
Nature has taken its toll on various parts of the North Carolina. A deck
maintenance project is now underway, to try and head off damage that rain water
may cause.
When the Battleship North Carolina was
commissioned in 1941, her massive deck was covered with the tropical hardwood
But in the late 1990s and 2000s, the ship's
teak deck was showing signs of wear and tear, so a major re-decking took place.
Today, that teak is still in good condition,
but some work is being done to make sure it will be around for a long time to
"When you think about owning a boat,
and all of the maintenance that has to go into a small boat, and you take a
historic battleship, you can imagine it takes a lot of effort, it takes a lot
of resources and it takes a lot of dedicated people," said Chris Vargo, the
battleship's Operations Director.
These Florida workers are going over the
Battleship's main deck inch by inch, looking for any damage to the surface.
The teak is attached to the ship's main
steel frame, by bolts. There is a filler substance between each
plank. If cracks are found in the planks, a sealing compound is inserted
into the split. The purpose is to keep water from seeping into the
cracks, which could cause the plank to continue to split and even worse,
collect on the steel under the wood and cause more damage.
"Most of the teak is in great shape, it
just needs to be re-seamed, re-plugged and resurfaced and the planks that are
bad are pulled and replaced," said Vargo.
the deck work won't be finished until next year. And the cost will top
out at about $1 million, a small investment for one of the most
decorated ships of World War Two.
