A 70-year-old male patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy underwent an intracardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation for primary prophylaxis. On a regular post procedure follow up 3 days later the patient reported having mild shortness of breath and cough. Chest radiography showed a right side pneumothorax (PNX). A thoracostomy tube was inserted and a CT scan of the chest was done to investigate the etiology of the PNX. CT suggested a protruding tip of the right atrial lead into the right pleural space. However, the findings were not conclusive due to a metallic and a movement artifact and the lead was not extracted. It was felt that lead fibrosis had already begun and that it would seal the site of perforation especially after ICD interrogation revealed satisfactory atrial and ventricular sensing and pacing thresholds and lead impedance. This conservative approach was adopted and has been successful in 3 previous case reports of the similar complication. Five days later the patient presents to the ER complaining of worsening shortness of breath associated with substernal chest discomfort, facial and neck swelling. Subcutaneous emphysema and crepitus was noted at the right lateral chest wall extending down to the right flank with diminished air entry on the right lung field. Chest radiograph revealed no PNX, but severe subcutaneous emphysema on the right and left aspects of the neck (more pronounced on right side), right shoulder, and right lateral aspect of chest wall. A thoracostomy tube was inserted with and a CT scan of the chest with 3-D reconstruction confirmed the plain radiographic findings in addition to showing a right side PNX, pneumomediastinum, and the right atrial lead of the ICD protruding outside the cardiac chamber into the pleural space. Patient then underwent repositioning of the right atrial lead and the right PNX sealed without complications and the patient was sent home. On his follow-up visits, he remains asymptomatic and chest radiographs and ICD interrogation were unremarkable. We are reporting the first case with recurrent PNX secondary to right atrial lead perforation after adopting a conservative approach in management. This strategy, however, did not appear to be optimal in our case as the patient had a recurrence of his PNX. As this case demonstrates, with detection of contralateral PNX to the site of venous access after pacemaker/ICD placement, consider atrial lead perforation as the etiology of the PNX and a 3-D reconstruction CT maybe a helpful diagnostic tool.

Cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the gallbladder. The gallbladder is near the liver. It stores bile that is made by the liver. Bile helps in the digestion of fatty foods. The gallbladder releases bile into a system of ducts that lead to the small intestine.
The open version of this surgery is done when a less invasive version called laparoscopic surgery cannot be done.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
This surgery is used to remove a diseased or damaged gallbladder. The damage is typically caused by infection or inflammation. This is often due to gallstones, which are crystals of bile that can form in the gallbladder. Sometimes, these get stuck in the ducts that bile normally flows through. This blockage in the ducts can damage the gallbladder and the liver.
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have a cholecystectomy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Your doctor will probably do some or all of the following:
Leading up to your procedure:
General anesthesia will be used. You will be asleep for the procedure.
An incision will be made in the upper right area of your abdomen. The gallbladder will be separated from the structures around it, including the liver, bile ducts, and arteries.
After the gallbladder is gone, dye may be squirted into the bile ducts. This will help show if there are gallstones in the ducts. The duct may be opened to remove any stones. While your abdomen is open, the other organs and structures will be examined. This will be done to make sure that you do not have any other problems. The incision will be closed with sutures or staples. It will then be covered with a bandage.
A tiny, flexible tube may be placed into the area where the gallbladder was removed. This tube will exit from your abdomen into a little bulb. This is to drain any fluids that may build during the first few days after surgery. The tube is usually removed within one week of your operation.
The gallbladder will be examined by a specialist. You will be taken to a room to recover. You will be monitored closely.
About 30-60 minutes
You will most likely feel some pain after the surgery. Your doctor will arrange for pain medications.
2-6 days
Recovery takes about 4-6 weeks.
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occur:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Last couple of weeks we use to play with my a friend a lot of coop games. And we create 2 decks which is very good work together.
One is dwarf allies deck and another Elves deck with Glor and Elrond +Hama. So we can win any quest even the dragon without a big problem. And key here is Dwarf deck!!! Is crazy powerful! This deck too much powerful!!! Even for solo game is very good! FFG make some mistake with the rules again cose in my opinion if you can play half or even more of your deck in couple of rounds is crazy powerful. You will have army of dwarf allies and they can do everything: quest, fight and produce resources as well. you need kill Big boss like a W-king or Balrog or Watcher??? No problem you can attack every round about 15-20 attack.You can quest every round around 15-20 with the dwarf deck alone!
This is broken! Errata is coming soon im pretty sure.

CureSearch for Children's Cancer funds and supportstargeted and innovative children's cancer research with measurableresults, and is the authoritative source of information and resourcesfor all those affected by children's cancer.
By this time, most children will have normal blood counts, and by the end of the first year, their immune system has usually returned to normal.
After 6 months off therapy, fevers and minor illnesses generally are managed as they would be for any child. This may mean comfort care like bed rest and acetaminophen. If your child's fever is 101 degrees or more, or if your child appears very ill, you should visit the family doctor or pediatrician.
It will be hard not to worry when your child has a sore throat or headache, even though the most likely cause is a normal childhood illness. For parents of children treated for cancer, it is not easy to keep "normal" childhood illnesses in perspective. It is important to remember that all children get sick at times and recover with rest and comfort care.
Contact your health care provider at your treatment center if your child experiences:
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact your healthcare provider. They are there to answer your questions, provide advice and put your mind at ease.
In general, children are encouraged to return to normal activities as soon as able, although some are left with lasting effects from the cancer or treatment and may not be able to do all they could do before treatment. There may be some activity restrictions based on your child's treatment. For example, some healthcare providers discourage heavy weight lifting for patients who received high doses of chemotherapy medicines called "anthracyclines" (such as doxorubicin or daunorubicin). Talk to your healthcare provider about specific limits for your child.
Chemotherapy used in conventional doses (not doses used for bone marrow or stem cell transplant) usually does not destroy the immunity gained from immunizations given before the cancer. Your healthcare team will provide guidance on whether your child should have any immunizations repeated and may perform tests to decide if any boosters are needed. Many children, especially young children, may have had their routine immunization schedule interrupted during treatment. Most children are able to begin catching up any missed immunizations within 6 to 12 months of the end of treatment. Some children who have had a bone marrow transplant should not have immunizations for even longer. Your healthcare provider will talk with you about when it is safe for your child to have immunizations again.
Anniversaries of the time of diagnosis or finishing treatment can be very emotional, and for many parents, create feelings of both sadness and joy. In time, many parents find that they can reach a balance between being thankful that their child is free from cancer and the sadness over the inevitable losses the experience has brought. Some families will have to come to terms with many such losses, particularly when children have lasting effects from the cancer treatment.

RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.As other reviewers state, the rug is thick and well-made. The actual colors are less vibrant/more earthy than appear on my mac, so beware if you're trying to match it to something perfectly. The rug has a woven backing (not heat-set) and has more potential to do damage to flooring if you don't get a rug pad. All in all, I'm satisfied for the price.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.As others buyers have written, the rug is thick and well-made. I'm giving this 4-stars because the colors of the actual rug are more muted and earthy than they appeared on my mac. For the price, I still think it's a good value and I'm sure the actual colors will grow on me.
Wonderful colors! It does "shed" at first but that's easily taken care of. Nice rug.

The rug is beautiful; the colors are rich and match those on my Mac. I give the rug 5 stars.
The rug I purchased is everything I hoped it would be. It's beautiful and well made. I can't be more pleased with my purchase.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

"It's better than tariffs or a trade war, but we're worried that it's going to lock a lot of Mexican tomatoes out of the market," Jungmeyer said. "About $1 billion in tomatoes came through Nogales in 2011. If you saw even a 10% or 20% decline, that's a lot of money."
Across the border, Asociacion Mexicana de Horticulture Protegida A.C. (AMHPAC) found signs of progress in the commerce plan.
"It would include all Mexican exporters rather than 85% as in the last agreement, and we pursued that," said Eric Viramontes, AMHPAC's departing chief executive officer.
"The Mexican government will have a big role in promoting this, and I think it will make for a stronger industry.
"The agreement is about maintaining order. It's not about filling anybody's pocket. Best of all, it avoided a big dispute between our countries," Viramontes said.
Need to boost greenhouses
Any relief U.S. growers gain from the agreement won't end the need for increased investment in greenhouse technologies, Viramontes said.
"In some parts of the U.S., that's not happening, and that's what creates issues in maintaining profits," he said.
Fried DeSchouwer, president of Vero Beach, Fla.-based Greenhouse Produce Co. LLC, agreed.
"Florida, for one, has made no significant changes in the last 10 years on production capacity," he said. "They have not invested. They keep on doing what they've been doing."
Greenhouse Produce Co. sources protected agriculture tomatoes, many out of central Mexico.
As DeSchouwer sees it, Mexico has the same advantage over Florida that Cuba did in the past when it was a tomato production hub — warmer weather and lower costs.
"American growers are trying to separate different production types and somehow eliminate competition from a lower-technology greenhouse," he said.
"Mexico doesn't need as many inputs to grow consistent, quality product."
"Americans don't want to accept that," DeSchouwer said, shortly before the draft agreement was reached.
"They feel it's not a level playing field. OK. But then you need to adjust your cost of production. Any trade limitation creating an unfair advantage for domestic producers will, in the long run, catch up with them, full stop."
"On the low end or the high end of markets, the consumer will get the short end of the stick," Mazzanti said.

Taking a Church from a Temporary Setup to a Permanent Install, Part 2
Mar 21, 2013 11:50 AM, With Bennett Liles
Editor's note: For your convenience, this transcription of the podcast includes timestamps. If you are listening to the podcast and reading its accompanying transcription, you can use the timestamps to jump to any part of the audio podcast by simply dragging the slider on the podcast to the time indicated in the transcription.
First Church of the Nazarene in Marion, Ohio set up in a gymnasium for a year while their new sanctuary was being built next door. Now they're in the new place and using much of the same AV gear, outfitted by Elite Multimedia of Memphis, Tenn. Wade Russell is here to give us the story on how they handled acoustics, sound, and video, up next on the SVC Podcast.
Wade Russell, with Elite Multimedia in Memphis, Tenn. Thanks for being back for part two and the First Church of the Nazarene in Marion, Ohio. Big job you did for them there. You had to move them out and into a gymnasium for a whole year while their new sanctuary was being built. In part one we talked about the temporary system you had set up in the gym, pretty much mobile, to make room for other events. Then you outfitted the whole new facility once it was finished. Now did you do anything in the way of acoustic treatment for the new worship center there?
Yes. We were able to design the acoustics for the new worship center using Purdue Acoustics panels, and we designed the layout and did the install for that and it really turned out to be a great sounding room. We used 1in. and 2in. absorption panels and they're throughout the whole room, really. And it's kind of a fan-shaped room and that means with the balcony on the sides, kind of gallery seating and then the main floor as well there. [Timestamp: 1:47]
I would think that after having services in a gymnasium for a year, they were really impressed with the acoustics in the new place.
Yeah, it was definitely a huge change going from a gym to a designed and well-thought-out building and install that had many, many planning meetings and a bunch of different implementation thought of to be able to achieve the acoustics that we wanted in that facility. And so it was a huge, huge difference for them. I mean we heard lots of good comments, definitely, the first Sunday that they were in there. [Timestamp: 2:22]
And this was all new construction. The whole building was brand new. Yes, sir. They built the facility on their grounds at which they actually had their old worship center on. They had to take that worship center down and then build where it used to be. And so they built that from scratch—just built it up—and we were fortunate enough to be involved early in the game and be able to make notes onto the drawings and communicate with contractors and architects and the builder and all that fun stuff. So it was a good project to be involved in the early stage. [Timestamp: 2:58]
A huge advantage being able to get in on the planning and the construction. So you got them moved into the new facility. Tell me about the sound system you put in for them there.
We utilized Electro-Voice to cover all of the main auditorium. We put in two dual 18in. subwoofers. All the Electro-Voice speakers are powered with EV CPS amps under the control of NetMax DSP. It really turned out to be a good solution and very pleased with the versatility of the system. It's got plenty of gas behind it as well as the quality is there, and the client is very, very pleased with how it sounds. So Electro-Voice really came through on this project for us. [Timestamp: 3:40]

International Dark Sky Places
Interest in our International Dark Sky Places is on the
rise. Learn all about them here.>>
IDA Tokyo
Some of the members of the IDA Tokyo chapter (from left to right): Takahiro Ueno, Nobuaki Ochi, Fumiki Onoma, Noriko Higashi, Kaoru Mende and Miyuki Miyazawa. |
On December 5, IDA Tokyo had its first general meeting since its establishment in January 2013. Nobuaki Ochi, chapter leader for IDA Tokyo brought together a diverse group of advocates that included lighting designer Kaoru Mende, who also presented at the Noche Zero light pollution conference in Chile; Hide Ozawa, a night sky guide from IDA's Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve; and animal photographer Rei Ohara, who was featured in the movie Brilliant Darkness. The group discussed public outreach, chapter expansion, and light pollution assessment. |
IDA San Diego
On January 27, 2014 IDA San Diego held a free public forum on light pollution at the Palomar College Planetarium. Presentations were held on light pollution, lighting ordinances, and IDA International Dark Sky Places in Southern California.
Presenters included David Crawford, IDA co-founder; Paul Ericson, former IDA board member and professional lighting designer; Steve Flanders, of the Palomar Observatory; and Sally Theriault, of Borrego Springs Dark Skies. IDA San Diego Chapter Leader Lisa Bruhn presented the chapter's annual local lighting awards.
IDA South Florida
In December, IDA South Florida hosted a free public screening of the award-winning PBS film The City Dark. It was followed by a lively panel discussion by officials from the Palm Beach Environmental Resources Management, the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center and IDA South Florida. One of the panelists, Dr. Kirt Rusenko, a sea turtle expert, was featured in the film.
Also, in December, IDA South Florida attended the Big Cypress Swamp Heritage Festival, a celebration of the history and culture of South Florida and its beautiful dark night skies. Chapter members educated attendees about the negative effects of urban light pollution on the Everglades and the value of preserving its dark skies. In January, the chapter exhibited at the Everglades Coalition Annual Conference. The event was attended by Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell; Former Governor and Senator Bob Graham; superintendents from three national parks; and leaders of several prominent environmental conservation groups. |
IDA San Bernardino County, California
High Deserts Region played a big role in the September's 17th Annual Starry Nights Festival, held in Joshua Tree, California. Chapter Leader Tom O'Key was part of the event that included IDA co-founder Tim Hunter, star parties, live video astronomy from the Southern California Desert Video Astronomers, food, music and more.
This was the first Starry Nights event to be held at the new venue provided by the Yucca Mesa Improvement Association. Their community center is located under darker skies than the previous locations, which have been tainted by light pollution of growing urban development.
IDA California
Volunteers Jack and Beverly Sales represented IDA at many |
IDA California's Jack and Beverly Sales, along with Curt Barnes, attended the 2nd annual Mt. Lassen Volcanic Park Dark Sky Festival August 9 – 11. The theme again this year was "Half the Park is after Dark." They set up an IDA display about light pollution and held daily showings of Ian Cheney's film, "The City Dark," followed by Q&A sessions. Many visitors and rangers were interested in learning about light pollution and its effects on animal, humans and ecology.
Their presentations were a big hit. Park staff used such terms as "enthusiastically presented," "outstanding contributions," "tremendous passion" and "friendly, helpful and kind." |
IDA Dark Skies Northwest
IDA/Dark Skies Northwest (DSNW) chapter leader Dave Ingram reports a significant up-tick of interest in light pollution in the Seattle area. Ingram attributes much of the credit for this interest to buzz created by the recent release of Paul Bogard's new book, "The End of Night, Searching for Natural Darkness in an Age of Artificial Light."
In September Dave was interviewed by Martha Childress, host of the Seattle weekly program,"Where Sustainability Comes Live." Dave used the interview to enlighten radio and podcast listeners about negative impacts of excessive outdoor lighting on the environment, human health, economies of the world, and safety and security. Ingram and the other guest described the efforts of DSNW and IDA to mitigate these local and regional problems and how the Northwest community can get involved.
New Chapters
IDA welcomes IDA México. The new chapter is led by Fernando Ávila Castro of Observatorio Astronómico Nacional. Their Spanish-language website on light pollution can be found here: http://leydelcielo.astrosen.unam.mx/index.php/en/
Two of our chapters in Florida merged to better cover local lighting issues. The new chapter on the scene is IDA South Florida.

Senate committee hearings and official FBI documents further illustrate the mindset of our elected officials as they classify homeschoolers, gun rights activists and anti-abortionists as threats against the existing social and political order; by default creating an entire nation of radicals and revolutionaries - where everyone is a suspect... equally guilty until proven otherwise. How has our government shown that they will deal with these people? The same way as every other totalitarian regime throughout history - marginalize their activities then lock them up.

Who are the potential domestic terrorists that will end up in these camps? Read the documentation for yourself and hear what our experts have to say. States rights take a front row seat in this new political thriller that is guaranteed to send shivers up your spine.

When Penelope Pitstop made her debut on Wacky Races in 1968, it was clear she was destined for stardom. Therefore, no one was surprised when she was given her own spin-off in 1969. In The Perils of Penelope Pitstop the young lady was, once again, involved in a road race aboard her Compact Pussycat.
The twist to the plot was that Penelope was an heiress, whose vast fortune would go to her lawyer if anything ever happened to her (presumably, the lady had no next of kin). Her lawyer, Sylvester Sneekly, decided to follow his lawyerly instincts by spending every episode trying to do away with Penelope so that the fortune would be his. Disguising himself and using the pseudonym "The Hooded Claw," Sneekly launched a variety of assaults on the heroine. Of course, the Fates always seemed to be smiling on Miss Pitstop, and she always managed to escape harm, usually by inadvertently turning the tables on Sneekly so that he would become the victim of his own bad deeds.
Assisting Penelope whenever they could was the Ant Hill Mob. Previously seen on Wacky Races as well, the Mob was a collection of pint-sized gangsters, each of whom had a distinct persona. Clyde, the leader, sounded just like Humphrey Bogart. Softy always found something to cry about. Yak Yak could barely control his laughter. Pockets was always prepared. Zippy was quick on his feet. Dum Dum was not very smart, and Snoozy was the mob's narcoleptic driver. Even though they were entered in the race as well, they couldn't resist coming to the aid of the beautiful Penelope.
Sneekly had his own henchmen, of course- the Bully Brothers, two twins who spoke in unison, most likely because they shared a brain. With only half a brain each, the brothers actually did very little to assist Sneekly and most often ended up being a hindrance.
The series was modeled after the silent films of the 1920's, specifically The Perils of Pauline, and was narrated by Gary Owens, who managed to add a generous portion of mock drama to the cartoon.
Veteran actor Paul Lynde performed the voice of Sneekly but went uncredited. One can only assume Lynde was worried that his Hollywood Squares associates would find out and make fun of him, which is understandable, considering how nasty George Gobel could get.

Bulls' Joakim Noah feeling better, likely to start Game 2
BY JOE COWLEY email@example.com April 21, 2013 8:58PM
Article Extras
Updated: April 21, 2013 10:03PM
NEW YORK — Coach Tom Thibodeau originally gave center Joakim Noah's health status a thumbs up Sunday. Then he added a caveat.
''[He's] relatively good for, like, where he is,'' Thibodeau said. ''Not quite the same soreness that he had previously, so he feels like he can do something here [Sunday], which is a good sign. So we'll see where he is [Monday].''
The Bulls hope he will be a lot further along in Game 2 of their playoff
series Monday against the Brooklyn Nets than he was in their 106-89 loss Saturday in Game 1.
Noah obviously was laboring in the 131/2 minutes he played, still battling plantar fasciitis in his right foot — and seemingly losing that battle. He scored only four points on 2-for-6 shooting and grabbed five rebounds. Meanwhile, Nets center Brook Lopez had 21 points, five rebounds and three blocked shots.
So what now?
Thibodeau was asked if he was rethinking his decision to start Noah over Nazr Mohammed, but he stuck by it.
''Yeah, he's a plus, he's a plus,'' Thibodeau said of Noah. ''I think we feed off what he can do defensively, and offensively he has a very unique skill set because of the way he can pass the ball.''
As long as Noah has no setbacks between the Bulls' scheduled shootaround early Monday and game time, he will be in the starting lineup again. The hope is not only that Noah will be better with another game under his belt after missing so much time with the foot problem, but that his teammates will help him in the paint a bit more, especially against Lopez.
''A guy like [Lopez], you have to defend with your whole team,'' Thibodeau said. ''There are a lot of things we have to do better against him.
''He's got a great touch. He's got a very good back-to-the-basket game. He's very good in the pick-and-roll. There are a lot things where we have to tie all five guys together, which we didn't do [in Game 1].''
As for the players, no one was buying the idea that Noah's presence somehow bogged down the Bulls'
execution at either end of the court.
''We love having Jo out there,'' power forward Carlos Boozer said. ''He's been a warrior playing through what he's playing through. He's been playing through it the whole season, it seems like.
''We appreciate him being
out there and giving up his body for us. That alone,
having him out there is much better than not having
him out there.''

NASHVILLE, Tn. (2/4/14) — Speaking with SurfKY News from Vanderbilt University this afternoon, Rev. Adam Brown, the first cousin of Chad Watson, one of two survivors of the tragic fire that took the lives of 9 family members, spoke with SurfKY News from Vanderbilt Hospital Tuesday afternoon.
Rev. Brown, pastor of Temple Baptist Church in Central City, noted that Mr. Watson is still in critical condition.
"However Chad is making improvements." Brown said. "Over the past 36 hours he has made some bigger steps, compared to the minor progress he had been making. He's' still not out of the woods but he is doing better." Brown said.
Brown noted that Kylie was making major positive improvements Tuesday afternoon.
"They have just taken out the ventilator a few minutes ago." Brown said. "To my understanding, Kylie is now breathing on her own. It looks like we can expect her to make a good recovery. She is doing better physically, However both Chad and Kylie are officially in critical condition." Brown said.
Brown said he would consider Kylie to be in critical condition, but improving.
"Chad is still in very critical condition. However as far as making at least some progress in the right direction, he is moving in the right direction." Brown said.
Brown added that a member of management for the group The Band Perry, had just arrived at the hospital to meet with the Watson family and other relatives.
Brown said she did not wish to be identified at this time.
"She just wanted to come by and meet the family in order to put a face with the voices she has been speaking with." Brown said. "She has been more than gracious."
After hearing about the tragic fire, The Band Perry volunteered to pay all funeral and burial costs for the nine members of the Watson family who perished in last Thursday's early morning house fire.
"We can't say how much we appreciate The Band Perry for doing this for the family." Brown said.

Reasons To Be Creative
I've said it before and I'll say it again - the role of an artist is a complex and often challenging one. Every artist, no matter what stage you're at in your career, will struggle with diminishing motivation and inspiration. It's incredibly easy to slip into this state as we work ourselves into the ground, letting the pot of ideas run empty. But you are not alone! I know this because last week I spent three days at Reasons to be Creative in Brighton and was surrounded by artists and developers from across the creative industries, all looking for a fix of something that would get their creative juices flowing…

Thinking about expanding, but having a tough time raising the necessary capital? Perhaps you've turned down a job that you would've gladly accepted last year. Or, maybe, you're spending too much time this spring shuttling aging and unreliable production equipment back and forth to your local dealer rather than keeping up with your clients' properties.
Is it just you, or does it seem that lately there isn't enough daylight to get everything done now that the phone is starting to ring and the grass is growing like crazy?
You're fortunate. Business is improving, and the solutions to your problems are elementary: hire more workers and buy better equipment. Simple. Or, is it that simple?
This recession was steep and painful. The recovery has been steady, but anything but robust. Landscape companies need to hold onto their cash to get through the peak season. Capital for expansion has curled up and died like crabgrass after autumn's killing frost, and banks are extremely reluctant to lend. Louie the loan-shark might be able to help, but most of us know better than to go hat-in-hand to those payday stores where interest rates average around 300 percent a year.
As implausible to small business people as it might sound, the federal government might be able to help finance your growth. Yes, we've all heard, and sneered, at the saying, "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help." The truth is that government programs through the Small Business Administration (SBA) may be able help you acquire the equipment you need or expand your business.
The SBA was created in 1953 as an independent agency of the federal government to aid, counsel, assist and protect the interests of small business concerns, to preserve free competitive enterprise, and to maintain and strengthen the overall economy. Initially, the SBA offered direct loans to entrepreneurs after they had been turned down by a private bank for a loan. However, the SBA today acts as a guarantor of the loan for their client, assuming up to 85 percent of the risk.
"Now that SBA provides a guaranty to the lender, or basically an insurance product, the lender makes the first decision if they want to fund that request," says Scot Hardin, SBA loan officer in Columbus, Ohio. "The bank comes to the SBA if they want the SBA's backing. The interest rate is negotiated between the client and the lender. SBA does have certain interest rate maximums, and they vary depending upon which program is used by the lender."
The effects of this recession has made the borrowing process a bit more difficult, but loans are being made and cash is flowing from lenders such as Chase Bank, PNC and U.S. Bank. To apply for a loan, the business owner should meet with their local banker and have copies of the last several years of their tax records and a personal financial statement, along with a copy of their credit bureau report. They should also bring a debt schedule on any outstanding loans indicating original loan amounts, current balances, current status or 30-60-90 days past due, who the lender is, and any collateral pledged for each loan.
"Credit standards have definitely tightened up over what they were in 2007," says Hardin. "It puts additional importance on bringing the deal to the bank with information that's easy for the banker to understand and evaluate. From a processing point, it's slightly more difficult than a traditional bank loan. The bank gathers basically all the same information they would typically gather for any commercial loan, and then if they want SBA's backing they will ask the client for some additional information."
Legislation is pending before Congress that would increase loan guarantee amounts. Karen G. Mills, SBA administrator, recently told members of the House Committee on Small Business that hundreds of lenders have reinstated SBA lending since the financial crisis. Propelling the expansion was Recovery Act provisions that helped reduce or eliminate some fees and temporarily push guarantees on some SBA loans to 90 percent. The Small Business Administration reported more than $30 billion in lending to 60,000 businesses for its fiscal year that just ended, an all-time record for the 60-year-old agency.
There are three basic loan types available through the SBA in which landscape companies might best secure funding for expansion:
The 504 Loan Program provides approved small businesses with long-term, fixed-rate financing used to acquire fixed assets for expansion or modernization. The 504 loans are made available through certified development companies (CDCs), nonprofit corporations that promote economic development within their community through 504 Loans. CDCs are certified and regulated by the SBA, and work with SBA and participating lenders (typically banks) to provide financing to small businesses, which, in turn, accomplishes the goal of community economic development.
There are more than 260 CDCs nationwide, each having a defined area of operations covering a specific geographic area. The area of operations for most CDCs is the state in which they are incorporated.
504 Loans are typically structured with the SBA providing 40 percent of the total project costs, a participating lender covering up to 50 percent of the total project costs, and the borrower contributing 10 percent of the project costs. Under certain circumstances, a borrower may be required to contribute up to 20 percent of the total project costs.
If you are awarded a 7(a) loan, the loan proceeds may be used to establish a new business or to assist in the acquisition, operation or expansion of an existing business, including: the purchase of land or buildings to cover new construction as well as expansion or conversion of existing facilities; the purchase of equipment, machinery, furniture, fixtures, supplies or materials; long-term working capital, including the payment of accounts payable and/or the purchase of inventory; short-term working capital needs, including seasonal financing, contract performance, construction financing and export production; financing against existing inventory and receivable under special conditions; the refinancing of existing business indebtedness that is not already structured with reasonable terms and conditions; and to purchase an existing business.
In addition to the loan programs, the SBA offers assistance through Business Development Centers, offering help to start-up businesses in the areas of financing, marketing, production, organization, engineering and technical problems and feasibility studies. The SBA also encourages its members to work through the SCORE Program (Senior Core of Retired Executives, ).
SCORE members are trained to serve as counselors, advisers and mentors to aspiring entrepreneurs and business owners. The SBA also sponsors a 16-member veteran outreach program and is linked to nearly 100 Women's Business Centers.
So next time you've fallen behind in your schedule because your equipment is unreliable and in need of replacement, or the next time you have to say "no" to a potential customer that you'd like to have, remember the SBA and the many programs it offers to owners of small businesses. Or, if expansion is in your future, maybe it's time to call your banker and say, "Tell me how to qualify for an SBA loan."
It is just good business to know all of your capitalization options, including those offered through the SBA.

Any diver's list of most outstanding dive regions on the Great Barrier Reef would include Cod Hole and the Ribbon Reefs. This string of long narrow reefs, also known as the Northern Reefs, lies about 60 miles north of Cairns. The most famous dive site on the Ribbon Reefs by far is Cod Hole. Cod Hole is known for the groups of large (150 kilograms or more) Potato Cod and Maori Wrasse that have become accustomed to divers over the past 30 years, and will approach quite closely. It's an excellent photo opportunity, these fish are huge!
... moreDuring the months of June and July, Dwarf Minke Whales are found on this section of the reef, and are known to linger in encounters with snorkellers that last for hours. Local dive operators do offer trips that aim to maximise these encounters, as well as dive some of the outstanding dive sites in the surrounding area.

[Russell Preston Brown, Photoshop Evangelist][Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended]
Hello, my name is Russell Preston Brown, and I'm a senior creative director here
at Adobe Systems as well as a Photoshop Evangelist.
In this tutorial I'm going to discuss one of my favorite new features
inside of Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended.
Now, in the extended version of Photoshop
there are some great capabilities, of course, for animation,
as you can see here in the animation timeline window.
You can also use these great capabilities up here
under the analysis menu right here.
But what's really great are the new capabilities
for 3D support in Photoshop CS5 Extended.
And one in particular is Repousse.
In this project, I'm going to demonstrate how to create
3D text from a simple 2D text layer.
I'm going to, of course, extrude the text, as you see here.
I'm going to use a new feature called Ground Plane Shadow Catcher
to cast a shadow, as you can see here,
onto the background wall.
I can add textures to each of the
individual surfaces of my 3D text.
As you can see, here are some brick, some glass,
and even this organic texture.
All of these are built into Photoshop CS5 Extended.
Okay, just exactly how do you do this?
Well, let's start from the beginning, back here with my text layer right here.
Let's go through this step by step.
First of all, I'm going to target my layer,
then go to my 3D menu and down to Repousse
and over to text layer, one of the selections I can make.
As you can see here, it's now changed my text
into a 3D object that can move just like this with this tool.
But what's really great is over here in the Repousse dialog,
because I can first select one of the many Repousse
shape presets, as you can see here.
I select it; it instantly, then, applies that preset
to my selected shape.
Really fantastic.
Let's go back to this one right here.
Then over here, I can select materials.
Clicking on this flyout menu for all of the surfaces,
I can see this great collection
of materials that I can instantly just click on and it will apply it to my text.
This is really great. So easy.
I'm going to select this item right here.
Clicking away, I can continue to adjust
any of these settings that you see here.
Then finally down here I'll click Okay.
Now, that's our first step in this process.
In our next step, we go an set up our ground plane.
I'm going to go over here and double-click on my layer
and bring up my ground plane, as you see here,
because I can go in and target the ground plane
and move it into perspective so it lines up with my background image.
I can then hide that and then continue to
target my 3D item and adjust that
with the 3D adjustment tools
until it's in the correct position, as you see here.
Then next, I'm going to go back up to my 3D menu
to show you this great new feature I discussed earlier called
Ground Plane Shadow Catcher, right here.
If I select that and then go over here
to my Scene Settings and down here to Quality,
I can select Ray Traced Draft, right here,
because I want to take an initial step in the Draft Mode
to see how the shadow is casting here onto the wall.
When I'm done, I shift
from the Draft Mode to the Final Mode, just like this.
I can of course go in and adjust the softness of the light
and the direction of the light to get it just the way I want it.
So it's an amazing new way of working on 3D objects
and, especially in this case, 3D text
to create some really, really interesting effects.
So there you have it, one of my favorite new features
here inside of Photoshop CS5 Extended.

The next Deathwatch book has been announced. And, for fans of Space Hulk, it's a particular treat - a trilogy of adventures set aboard a Space Hulk in the Jericho Reach, accompanied by a Space Hulk Scenario Generator (written by myself).
I'm biased, of course, but I think that the whole thing is pretty damned cool.

WriteShop Primary Book A is recommended for students in kindergarten or first grade. The program accommodates pre-writers as well as beginning and developing writers. It teaches the skills of the writing process at the very simplest level through engaging activities, crafts, and picture books and creates an environment that promotes a joy of learning.
Since early lessons have the option to be entirely oral on the part of the child, there is no pressure, only the opportunity to talk about things that are familiar to him as he watches Mom write down his words. Slowly and gently, the child is asked to help with the actual writing, first in simple words, then through copywork. Extra challenges appear throughout each lesson to keep the interest of a more advanced child.
