You are hereEgyptAs terrorists again threaten America, is California prepared?The rapid deterioration of several nations in the Middle East and North Africa has taken many Americans and our leaders by surprise.

Illegal War Leads to Death and Cover-up - Obama's Chickens are Coming Home to RoostShortly after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, President Barack Obama's former minister, Rev. Jeremiah Wright went on an anti-American rant which included an America-blaming quote, "America's chickens are coming home to roost." After listening to this pastor, whose church President Obama sat in for over 20 years, it is easy to see where the President gets his "blame America first" mentality. But after looking back at Obama's illegal war against Libya and his ill-advised Middle East policy, one must wonder if Rev. Wright would revise his now famous quote and say "Obama's chickens are coming home to roost"? This week, the House Oversight Committee held hearings to get to the truth about what happened in Libya leading to the death of our Ambassador and 3 other Americans and then the subsequent cover-up. As you might recall, despite the fact that there Posted under:

Looks like a lightning bug/firefly to me. |
Early for those in Chicago, tho. |

Do they eat veggies. |
I can't think of anything that looks like a lightning bug....except a lightning bug. |
If it is not doing any damage, just let it live.:D |
I think I've heard that they aren't 100% sure what adult fireflies eat, but suspect it to be nectar/pollen. Their young are predatory though, feeding on snail and slug larva... good to have around. |
Lightning Bug - a beneficial for the garden. Whether you know them as Lightning Bugs or Fireflies, these are beneficial insects. They don't bite, they have no pincers, they don't attack, they don't carry disease, they are not poisonous, they don't even fly very fast. The larvae of most species are specialized predators and feed on other insect larvae, snails and slugs. (They are also reported to feed on earthworms.) Adults of some species are also predatory. Adults of some species are reported as not feeding. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Firefly/Lightning Bug
Hmm , I have 2 protect my Red Wriggler's ( earthworms). I have alot of Lightening bugs on Squash leaves. A friend said Lemon joy & Water to rid them ..... I often do that n e way. |
I wish we had lightning bugs down here. We used to have a few in Vero Beach, but nothing like up north. I never heard of them eating earthworms. |
Soldier beetle. |
lefeavers posted ..."Hmm , I have 2 protect my Red Wriggler's ( earthworms). I have alot of Lightening bugs on Squash leaves. A friend said Lemon joy & Water to rid them ..... I often do that n e way." That's is simply backwards thinking, imho. First, red wigglers are composting worms, so unless you see them around your vermicomposting bin, why worry? 2nd, if lightning bugs are known to kill earthworms, I'm sure they don't get many of them... worms are deep in the soil. 3rd, one should never deliberately kill beneficials. Why use soap? Why not just whip out the Sevin and kill everything?!!? Kevin |
The soldier beetle I saw a picture of had a yellow collar-like thing on the back of it's neck. I don't see that here. I guess if they light up at night you will know the difference. Wikipedia says the lightning bugs eat slugs and snails. |

I saw one like this in my garden and was going to try to identify it. We definitely do not have fireflies here in Colorado. The image does not look like firefly images I have found. |
Though soldier beetles are related to and look like lightning bugs, I think that the original image is that of a lightning bug. Milehigh, there are fireflies in Colorado.....just not as commonly as more humid climates. |
The best way to ID it is to take to your local Agricultural center. I know master gardeners get a bad rap on here alot, but most of them know their stuff or can ask someone on the staff what your bug is. |
- Posted by meredith_e 7B Piedmont NC (My Page) on Sun, Jul 6, 14 at 1:07
I have lightning bugs that spend the daytime on about any kind of plant. Just look closely next time and check out its abdomen (although that does look like one kind of ours just from the top). The abdomen will look like an unlit lightning bug part. Most bugs don't have that ;) Mine don't ever hurt anything, although they do seem to like being near the pollen. I'd guess they eat it, probably. Or maybe they eat the tiny bugs that eat the pollen? Anyway, they don't seem to do much but sit around waiting for night :) |

I Prefer the Term Trade "Lifeline"
Posted on March 12, 2012 | No Comments
For NBA General Managers, the NBA trade deadline is a lot like closing time at a bar. It's getting to the end of the night and there's not much time to decide whether it's time to call it quits and rest up for next time, or whether they're going to try and hook up with someone and continue the evening.
Unlike the end of the season, where only one person ends up scoring (well, actually two, but that ruins the analogy), the trade deadline is when lots of people can win, but there's an air of desperation and sometimes people end up settling for something when it was probably in their best interests to sit it out.
Whether this trade deadline is busy or very quiet depends solely on what the Orlando Magic end up doing with Dwight Howard. If Orlando chooses to keep him, and try and re-sign him in the summer, which I think is the most likely scenario, then I don't think we'll end up seeing much action this week. Too many teams are keeping their doors open for Howard, which means they'll want to wait until the summer to do something.
Howard isn't the only player who should be keeping their furniture mover on speed dial. Josh Smith, Andrew Bogut, Raymond Felton and Michael Beasley have all either asked to be traded or been rumored to be on the trading block.
While I don't pretend to have any idea of where these guys are going, I do have an idea of what I think would be best for the teams. Here are a few trade ideas…
Steve Nash, Grant Hill and Channing Frye for Josh Smith and Kirk Hinrich.
Phoenix should do Steve Nash a favour and trade him to a team he has a chance to take somewhere. No one wants him to go somewhere where he'll ride on the coattails of a team that doesn't really need him, like Miami, the Lakers or Dallas.
Josh Smith apparently wants out of Atlanta. He's always been a high maintenance player, but he's also got All Star level talent and he's only 26 years old.
Atlanta is a team with a hard ceiling. They're in that category that I like to call high level mediocrity. They've been good enough to compete, but not good enough to actually contend. The second round is and has been their limit with the roster they have.
Joe Johnson is a perennial All Star, but he's not a franchise player who's good enough to get his team to the Finals. Steve Nash, however, might still be, despite his age. Atlanta should be desperate to do something. Joe Johnson is in decline and the team is hamstrung by his contract. Atlanta has the types of athletes that Nash can make look great, plus he brings a couple of players whose careers he revitalized. If Al Horford can return from injury, the Steve Nash may be the right player to lead the Hawks past the second round first time in over 40 years.
Dwight Howard and Chris Duhon for Russell Westbrook, Serge Ibaka, Kendrick Perkins and Thabo Sefolosha.
It may be true that Dwight Howard won't turn down the extra $30 million (without state taxes) that he'll get if he stays in Orlando, but Cleveland and Toronto are examples of what happens when you gamble and lose.
Oklahoma City is the favourite to come out of the West in the playoffs, but they have two things that will limit their chances of winning the Championship. The first is that they lack a scoring threat inside. Serge Ibaka is a excellent young big man, but he's not a scoring threat and neither is the (so far) disappointing Kedrick Perkins. It's hard to go all the way in the playoffs without a low post threat teams have to double team. No team has, in fact, ever won without one.
The other thing holding Oklahoma back is one of their best players.
I was a fan of Russell Westbrook from his days at UCLA. He was my sleeper in the draft until he started moving up and thought he could end up being one of the best players from the draft. Normally I'm not a big fan of combo guards who are drafted to become PGs, but I felt Westbrook had what it took to make the adjustment.
Fast forward four years, and Westbrook is a perennial All-Star and scoring 23 ppg while helping lead his team to the best record in the West. Unfortunately, he's also struggled to adjust to being a PG, has shown to be far too shot happy, especially when it matters (including last year's playoffs) and currently is dishing out just 5.5 assists per game while turning the ball over 3.9 times a game. For a PG, that's absolutely horrible.
Oklahoma is one few teams in the league that can give Orlando what they are looking for for Howard and still have enough talent to contend.
Orlando is apparently demanding that whoever takes Howard also take Turkoglu, but I think they should be flexible on that. Westbrook, Ibaka, Perkins and Sefolosha may seem like a lot to give up for Howard, but a trio of Howard, Kevin Durant and James Harden might very well be as good as Miami's trio and definitely better than New York's. Plus, they all compliment one another. Nick Collison is no Ibaka, but a perfect PF to play alongside Howard. Duhon and Eric Maynor aren't anyone's idea of great PGs, but they can pass the ball, which is all they'll need to do with that team.
The players that Oklahoma could give Orlando would still allow them to be a playoff team, if not a 50 win team.
If Jose Calderon wants to stay in Toronto, then his ankle injury is the best thing that could possibly have happened to him (and it might be good for the Raptors, too). With him out of the trading picture, the Raptors still have Leandro Barbosa who the Raptors should try and move. With the Raptors unwilling to take back a longer contract, it means that the trading options are limited. Raptor commentator, Leo Rautins, mentioned Chicago as a possible trading partner, but they have no contracts that work.
There are, of course, other teams that could use an instant offense-type, like Barbosa. Orlando desperately needs a scorer that can create his own shot, but don't have a contract the Raptors would want.
The Lakers are another team that could use some more firepower off the bench, but like Orlando and Chicago, don't have a contract the Raptors would take back.
There is one team that could use Barbosa, and not only have a contract or two the Raptors would agree to, but a late first round pick the Raptors might be able to pluck away.
Boston is a team that is at the point where they either have to start to rebuild, or try and make one last run. If they want to make one last run, would they agree to…
Leandro Barbosa and the Raptors 2nd round pick for Jermaine O'Neal and their lowest of their 2 first round picks
Considering the restrictions the Raptors are apparently putting on a trade of Barbosa, I wouldn't be surprised if Barbosa is still in a Raptor uniform when the team takes the floor against Memphis on Friday.
Now, there is one more trade I'd love to see regarding the Raptors, but a few things have to fall into place for it to happen. Plus, it can't happen until after the draft. The first, and most important thing, is that the Raptors win the lottery and get the first pick. Anthony Davis has elite potential and might be the best big man to come out of college since Tim Duncan. A duo of him and Jonas Valanciunas could give the Raptors the best front court in the NBA 3-5 years from now and one that might be the most difficult to score on since Duncan teamed with David Robinson.
If the Raptors do get Anthony Davis, two of the three present PFs suddenly become expendable. Ed Davis, despite his struggles this year, still has loads of potential, but I don't see him being happy in a long term bench role. I'm still a big fan of him, but his value on the open trade market and the chance he won't want to stick around as a reserve makes him an obvious choice to go.
Neither Valanciunas or Anthony Davis are known as scorers, so, on paper, Andrea Bargnani seems like the perfect compliment to the defense of the two young players. In reality, though, things are a little different. Bargnani has always struggled in a reserve role, and has shown that he needs big minutes to be an effective scorer. He's also a guy who can hurt the team if he's not scoring. His contract, plus his past questions about motivational issues, makes him an extremely risky guy to keep. If he fails to adjust, his contract and the fact that he's so high maintenance, could make him not only untradeable, but harmful to the franchise.
Amir Johnson, while not as skilled offensively, is a low maintenance player, with a manageable contract and who produces the same whether he plays 15 minutes or 25 minutes.
Now, Bargnani is a player who many have thought would benefit greatly from playing with Dwight Howard and visa versa. New Jersey is apparently Howard's destination of choice….
Andrea Bargnani for Anthony Morrow and New Jersey's first round pick (actually whoever they select with the pick
This deal doesn't work in ESPN's Trade Machine because the Nets are over the cap right now, but won't be after the season ends. New Jersey also can't trade it's pick since you can't trade picks two years in a row (last year's and next year's go to Utah), so New Jersey would select the player Toronto wants.
Bargnani will have far more of an immediate impact that any rookie they draft will, and considering Deron Williams and Dwight Howard are in their prime right now, surrounding them with veterans is probably a good idea and the best way to help them make it out of the East. Bargnani is a better scorer than Howard is and will benefit from his presence down low and Howard will benefit from Bargnani's outside shooting.
Toronto gets a top ten pick in a pretty damn good draft and a three point shooter to help open things up. Plus they get about $4 million in extra cap space.

We have a GE Cafe' natural gas range and the stainless steel surface that surrounds all of the burners my problem is the stainless steel around high BTU burner is discoloring and has a light brown rink around it. I have tried warm soap and water, stainless steel cleaner and I can not remove the stain. Any ideas what I might be able to use without damaging the stainless steel surface? Thanks |

There are no dedicated funds for Colorado Proud, White said. Instead, the program relies on federal specialty crop block grants and a Department of Agriculture fund.
"So far we've been very lucky to have the funds we need," she said.
Colorado Proud launched in 1999 with 65 members. It now has more than 1,300, with membership drawn from the producer, association, processor, retail and restaurant communities. An estimated 300 members are grower-shippers of fruits and vegetables.

This is the first in a weekly mini-series we'll be doing from archived videos on faith, work, and culture. There is something valuable in looking back, I think, and in seeing how perceptions of Christianity and its status within the broader context of American culture have changed, and how conversations about faith and work have developed. Are we on the same page as we were then? Or, has Dr. Novak's prediction that Christianity will have a profound impact on businesses across the country come true?
Want to hear more? You can find this video with transcript and dozens more over at the High Calling YouTube Channel.

Hyundai Accent Transmission Questions
carfreak09 Posts: 160These trannys were known to have these kind of issues, especially if the fluid wasn't changed often enough or the wrong fluid was used. The check engine light is on because the tranny computer threw a failure code to the main ecu. It sounds like your tranny is toast. The only way to fix it now is to rebuild or replace it.

It is a Hyundai accent 1997 automatic
Every time I step on the breaks it seems as if the car has a stutter problem , at times when i push on the breaks just a little bit to slow down the car will stall out. It turns on just fine. It will also seem to get stuck in a higher gear. Example if I am going 60 mph the rpm will read 3-4 and just sit there, i can feel it in the pedal when it does that.
to add to that when it is stuck in the high rpm it takes about 10 seconds after a stop to get going up to an actual speed.
The problem started out with it just stalling out every now and then but ONLY when i push on the breaks to stop or slow down , the rpm will shoot up and then usually stall out unless i push down on the gas a little.
Email if you have any idea what i should do or why my car does this. I am a single mom and this gets very scary when im driving with my son and it will stall out as i slow down and make a turn or anything like that.

jpf Posts: 496I use to own late 80's and early 90's GM vehicles that had a similar problem with a 3 speed automatic. It was a solenoid switch in the transmission that locked up the torque convertor. It cost like $200 to fix (mostly labor) as the switch was inexpensive. I remember a mechanic telling me it's like riding a bicycle in 10th gear, coming to a stop and then trying to get going again without shifting the gear back to 1st. Good luck.
shellybear0925 Posts: 1Hi,
I have a 2009 Hyundai Accent, Automatic Transmission and it has been bucking a lot, AT fluid checked and it stopped briefly but it is doing it again. I have about 25600 miles on it and the fluid level is fine. Not sure if this is a sign the tranny is starting to go? The other day it would not shift up into the next gear and the RPM's kept revving high.
I am under warranty but do not trust what the dealership will have to say. Does anyone have any knowledge of this happening to them? Thank you.... -
mooner73 Posts: 3i have a 2001 accent which will not let me turn the key back to the lock position unless i disconnect the battery. i think it may be the sensor that tells the compuetr the car is in park? I can shift the car into gear when the key is in the lock position. Am I on the right track and can this be done on my own?
hempmaker1 Posts: 1@ shellybear0925 ...I recently bought a 2009 Hyundai Accent, and it was doing the same thing yours is doing. It would get stuck in 2nd gear. If I was driving, it would clonk, jump, and then not shift. I have had 2 trips to the dealer now, and they just replace a speed sensor on the transmission. I don't know if that is the cause, bc I just picked my car up today, however.....I will definitely let you know...bc it has been a headache for us...hope this helps!!
rebeccald1982 Posts: 2ok. The transmission fluid is pooling on top of the transmission. It's having a hard time going into gear and sounds like it will rev up and up and up and not switch gears until there is a really hard shift. Fluid is not burnt. Finally drove it on the highway about 40 miles and it jerked really bad and was making loud noises. I had it towed home. Does anybody know whats wrong? also while driving the rpms will go way to high before the shift. Had a tranny rebuild about 50000 miles ago. i use the hyundai fluid also. was doing the jerking thing off and on then just went to all the time. no trouble codes or check engine light. overdrive stopped working.

hughes5955 Posts: 1I'm having an intermittent problem with my Hyundai Accent. Usually in the mornings... come to a stop sign. Then when I take off, it feels like it's not getting enough gas. Hyundai dealership has had the car 3 times and no issues found. No engine light comes on. So they can't diagnose
Can anyone help me out?
carfreak09 Posts: 160
droflov Posts: 1its true, but 1st check your grounding connections- all sensors ground to frame or trans body - they must be clean and di electric greased. check battery connections check fuses . throw a meter and check for trouble codes - for 10 bux try seafoam and try and loosen the selenoid. if that works, change filter and fluid
motoman04 Posts: 1Hello, I had the same EXACT problem with my 05 accent, I have been trying to figure it out for almost a year now. I dont know why, but NO hyundai dealer ANYWHERE seems to know the true cause of this problem. However, I for one found the cause of the problem yesterday as i was driving down the interstate. My accent was doing 65 mph when it kicked OUT of overdrive and my rpm's shot up. I pushed the overdrive button on the shifter to off and then back to on as i was driving and the car went back INTO overdrive as it should. That led me to start playing with the overdrive button while i was driving. As i wiggled the button back and forth the car would kick in and out of over drive without actually PUSHING the button. About two hours ago i pulled my car in the garage and took out the screw on the front side of the shifter that hold the overdrive button in and finnagled the overdive button out of the shifter. I found that one of the wires on the overdrive swith was frayed. This is because of the way hyundai runs their wires through the shifter. There is 3 different colored wires. One of them is black. This is a ground wire. The other two are different color. If you touch one of the wires to the black ground wire, the "over drive off" light will illuminate on the dash. If you touch The OTHER colored wire to the black ground wire, the "over drive off" light will NOT illuminate. This means the overdrive is in fact enabled. As i never turn my over drive OFF anyway, I simply cut the wires off of the overdrive button and soldered The ground wire to the colored wire that enables the overdrive. My overdrive is now permanently on and my car does not stick in 3rd gear at stops signs and it now shifts through EVERY gear as it should ALL of the time. I took my time to explain all of this because i know how confusing the situation is and I KNOW FOR A FACT that this is the cause of your problem. I joined this website ONLY to reply to your post. I am giving you my word that if you do what i explained your problem will be solved. I thought it to be highly unlikely but i proved myself wrong. I hope you give it a try. -Joe

February 9, 2007, 12:00 AM
By Ezra Dyer
The name's a mouthful, but the concept is simple: Build a dual transmission that's smooth in automatic yet feisty in manual. And do it with two clutches to ensure ultrasmooth robotic shifting. VW/Audi has had so much success with its version, the Direct Shift Gearbox, that it's phasing out conventional automatic transmissions altogether.
Once the exclusive domain of premium models like the Mercedes SL and SLK, the hardtop convertible is filtering down to the masses. The new Volvo C70, Volkswagen Eos, Mazda Miata, and Pontiac G6 all eschew soft tops for retractable hardtops, the latter three for less than $30,000.
Worried that Frankie Kneecaps might be hiding in your car in that dark parking lot? Volvo's new S80 offers a key fob that scans your ride from up to three hundred feet away to detect the heartbeat of an intruder. Nobody can argue that Volvo doesn't take care of its paranoid demographic.
Bugatti currently makes only one car, the $1.3 million Veyron, but the company is rumored to be pondering the idea of building something much more attainable: a sub-$60,000 lightweight four-cylinder two-seater that would compete with the Lotus Elise. Sure, the sixty-grand neighborhood is a lot for a four-cylinder, but it's a pittance for a Bugatti.

text: you asked... Why am I cold all the time? Why am I always cold since becoming pregnant? Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts Re: Why am I always cold since becoming pregnant? That's a really good question! Most pregnant women feel warmer than usual during pregnancy, because pregnancy ramps up your metabolism, producing heat. Your body might try to cool off by speeding up your breathing rate, sweating and producing greater blood flow to your arms and legs.In some women, those cooling efforts may go into overdrive -- which could explain why you feel so chilly.If you're constantly cold, though, it's a good idea to consult your OB. Feeling cold all the time is a symptom of hypothyroidism, a condition caused by an underactive thyroid. Hypothyroidism isn't a serious disease, but if you have it, it's important to get treatment. A simple blood test can confirm (or rule out) hypothyroidism. Plus, more from The Bump: Hypothyroidism during pregnancy Fever during pregnancy Fatigue during pregnancy James O'Brien, MD, ob-gyn and medical director of inpatient obstetrics at Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island in Providence Why am I cold all the time? I am 7 weeks and am cold all the time. I had my thyroid tested 5 months ago and it is normal. I was hot during my last pregnancy (which miscarried 2 mtgs ago), so I assumed this one would be the same. It is frustrating as I wanted to be pregnant in the cold Alberta winter to stay warm but am now colder than ever. I do have Raynaud's Disease, which is poor circulation. I wonder if that has something to do with it. jessicaswood | Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts

No One Wants a Crabby Mom.
Posted By Jessica Fisher On June 30, 2009 @ 12:35 pm In Parenting and Family | 13 Comments
That's the point of this blog. Those are the words that you – and I – see every time the page loads. No one wants a crabby mom. But, unfortunately, that's what my kids get sometimes.
When instructing my children to follow directions, I tell them that there are three parts of OBEY: all the way, right away, and most importantly, (are you ready?) with a good attitude!
How we do something is often just as important as actually doing it. No one said motherhood would be easy. And most moms I know do what they're "supposed to do." But, doing it with a good attitude is sometimes tricky.
This past Saturday I found myself snappish, short tempered, quick to anger, basically — crabby! I haven't felt quite like that in awhile. But, the reality of it showed in the surprise in my kids' eyes when I freaked out over a shrunken, wool sweater that no one had ever worn, yet had been thrown in the washing machine anyway. I generally come undone over washing something that's clean already. Ruining the item adds insult to injury.
Yet my mind goes to an old cliche: don't sweat the small stuff. There's wisdom there, people.
Often, I think I get crabby because things aren't going my way. But, is it over monumental things gone awry? Am I turned inside out and sideways over major things? Rarely. Usually I'm "freaking out" over something that is not really important. I'm sweating small stuff that doesn't really matter. But, my response can have such a greater, negative impact than the offense.
Here are my "notes to self" -
1. Calm down, take a deep breath, leave the room, count to ten, whatever it takes.
2. Ask yourself if this is really worth the emotion it's generating.
3. If it is, politely talk about it with the offender. If not, shake it off.
4. If you've already "freaked out," been unkind, blamed for more than was necessary, ask forgiveness and admit where you're wrong.
5. Repeat as often as necessary.
Being a cheerful mom is worth so much more, feels so much better, brings more comfort and joy to my family than one sweater that no one wanted to wear anyway.
What area do you "freak" in? How do you gain perspective?

Classic Rajasthan, April 2014
Suzan Yalcin
I went on this trip because I don't want to travel alone. The group consisted of five couples and I wasn't even warned about this when I booked. I was the 11th person to book so all the couples were already booked and the advisor could have suggested another date as had been done for one of the couples I was tour with. They had considered a different date and their advisor had told them that the date of this trip might be more suitable as there were other mature couples. I was disappointed about this.

India is a country of sharp contrasts. I like that Intrepid captures both through visiting both main sites but also allowing an insight into real life through visits to smaller villages etc

I should declare from the outset that I am resident in the Clitheroe area and therefore not a tourist.

CHARLESTON, W.VA. — West Virginia residents and businesses in flood-damaged counties still have time to apply for disaster aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
The filing deadline to return applications for physical property damage is July 14, 2009. The deadline to return economic injury applications is February 15, 2010.
Disaster loans up to $200,000 are available to homeowners to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate. Homeowners and renters are eligible up to $40,000 to repair or replace damaged or destroyed personal property.
Businesses and non-profit organizations of any size may borrow up to $2 million to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate, machinery and equipment, inventory, and other business assets. SBA can also lend additional funds to help with the cost of making improvements that protect, prevent or minimize the same type of disaster damage in the future.
For small businesses, and most private non-profit organizations of all sizes, the SBA offers Economic Injury Disaster Loans to help meet working capital needs caused by the disaster. Economic Injury Disaster Loan assistance is available regardless of whether the business suffered any physical property damage.
Interest rates are as low as 2.437 percent for homeowners and renters and 4 percent for businesses with terms up to 30 years. Loan amounts and terms are set by the SBA and are based on each applicant's financial condition.
To be considered for all forms of disaster assistance, applicants must first call the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) at 1-800-621-FEMA (3362). Additional details on the locations of Disaster Recovery Centers and the loan application process can be obtained by calling the SBA Customer Service Center at 1-800-659-2955 or by emailing the SBA customer service center at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Victims may also apply for disaster loans from SBA's secure website at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela/.
Because delay may cause them to miss filing deadlines, disaster victims should not wait to receive contractor estimates or to settle insurance claims before applying for disaster loan assistance. If applicants do not know how much of their loss will be covered by insurance or other sources, the SBA will consider making a loan for the total loss up to its loan limits, provided the borrower agrees to use the insurance proceeds to reduce or repay the SBA loan.
Several Disaster Recovery Centers (DRC) are now open in the impacted counties to help residents get the assistance they need. A Business Recovery Center in Gilbert, Mingo County, will focus on business recovery efforts. The centers will process applications and refer them as needed to the West Virginia Small Business Development Centers (SBDC).
Recovery centers are open in the following locations:
FEMA/SBA Disaster Recovery Centers (DRCs)
Open Monday-Saturday from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM
McDowell County

WordPress Plugins: One Click Backup of WordPress Files and Database

This WordPress hack adds a JavaScript alert window telling a commenter that their comment was put into moderation. As it stands WordPress does not tell a reader if their comment was submitted for moderation.
This plugin adds an end-of-article 'bug' like those you see in print magazines or on Wired News. They're mostly useful for multi-page articles or websites with tight, complex layouts. This plugin looks for an image to function as the EOA marker at 'wp-content/plugins/eoab/eoab.gif'. If one does not exist, it will insert an HTML entity section character (§).
Time is Key Concern in Business Blogging
71% of marketers reported time as a key concern in managing a business blog for their company or organization according to results from a recent WordBiz survey.
45% were unsure what to write about, 18% questioned if the content needs to be edited or pre approved and 15% wondered who would be responsible for the content. Yet, when asked if they have considered starting a business blog, more than 80% responded yes.
What is exactly ESF? The acronym stands for Epistula Syndication Format, and it is the brainchild of Aquarion. Essentially ESF is a feed in plain text.
This plugin is similar to an acronym plugin but linkifies keywords instead of defining them.
Ratings is a plugin for WordPress that implements and extends the MoveableType ratings plugin. You can use it to add ratings to reviews that you might write or let your readers rank your entries.
JustBlogIt is a Mozilla / Firefox extension to allow easy right-click posting to WordPress. From any website your new blog post is only a right-click away.
Because in addition to the same plugin information that are available in the website version, the local client will also help you keep track of installed plugins and notify you of any new plugins available or whenever an upgrade to a plugin is posted. In a word: you get customized service whereas the website is the same for everybody.One major feature of wp-plugin-mgr is also that it enables one-click installs and removals.

Fabrice Bregier takes over as Airbus president and CEO
By AviationBrief
Published: June 1, 2012
Former Airbus COO Fabrice Bregier has taken over as Airbus president and CEO for a five-year term. He replaces Tom Enders, who succeeds EADS CEO Louis Gallois. The company announced the management changes, made at Thursday's annual general meeting, in January ( ATW Daily News, Jan. 26 ).
The new Airbus executive committee includes Guenter Butschek as new COO; John Leahy remains COO-customers; Tom Williams is EVP-program; Charles Champion is EVP-engineering and Domingo Urena-Raso is head of Airbus Military.
Three Airbus executive committee members—CFO Harald Wilhelm, EVP-human resources Thierry Baril and EVP-procurement Klaus Richter—also have EADS corporate responsibility.
Bregier said the new team's target for the next five years is "to make Airbus even stronger in developing and manufacturing the world's best aircraft. We remain focused on our business objectives and while we implement some changes, we foresee overall continuity. Our priorities are providing stability for the production ramp-up, driving integration, and expanding our global footprint."

Rio de Janeiro, 29th June: With five years to go before Brazil hosts golf's return to the Olympics, Colombia's Mariajo Uribe gave the women's game in South America a significant boost by winning the HSBC LPGA Brasil Cup in Rio de Janeiro.
The 21-year-old from Bucaramanga gained her first victory as a professional shooting a 9-under-par 135 for the US$720,000 two-round event at the Itanhanga Golf Club in the Barra de Tijuca district of Rio. Uribe, the 2007 US Women's Amateur champion, won by a stroke from Australian Lindsey Wright who narrowly missed a seven-foot breaking putt to force a play-off.
"It'll make a huge impact on South American golf, especially women's golf. With the Olympics coming up we need a lot of representatives from South America, so I think it's a big deal," said Uribe, who enjoyed enormous local support during her six-under-par final round.
"That's how Latin people are! It's not only because I'm Colombian, if you play with passion and if you're emotional on the course they support you. The Brazilian fans reacted to me as if I were one of their own."
Uribe added that even though the tournament is not considered an official LPGA event win and the prize money doesn't count on the tour's money list, it is playing a significant role in a country that, despite its population of 200 million, only has 25,000 golfers.
"A lot of the kids I saw last year are training more because they met me and they have someone closer to relate with. I think my win is going to create a huge buzz," she said.
The President of the South American Golf Federation (the Federacion Sudamericana de Golf) and of the Brazilian Golf Confederation (the Confederacao Brasileira de Golfe), Rachid Orra said Uribe's victory was as significant to the region as Jhonattan Vegas' victory at the Bob Hope Classic in January; even though Vegas' win has single-handedly changed Venezuela president Hugo Chavez's attitude to the sport.
"Symbolically it's the same thing because it's a girl that has beaten some of the best players in the world!" declared Orra.
"It'll be all over the newspapers in Brazil that South America has one girl, and others, that can compete equally with some of the best players. It's a great thing that one girl from South America has beaten some of the best players in the world. It's very important for us. It's an example for the young girls that want to play golf to see one girl from Colombia, a country like Brazil, can win a very important tournament. We are very happy. The coming of the HSBC LPGA Brasil Cup was a very important step for us, taken three years ago. This is another one. Both are very, very, very important," he explained.
Uribe's victory is South America's first at the LPGA level since Paraguay's Julieta Granada scooped the million dollar jackpot at the ADT Championship in November 2006. The last Colombian win was Marisa Baena's 2005 triumph as a complete outsider in the HSBC Women's World Match Play Championship in 2005.
"Golf in Brazil and in the region is at such an embryonic stage that every step in the right direction, every little thing that gains attention and increases the interest to a broader audience, is of enormous importance," said David Kotheimer, Deputy CEO and Vice Presidente of tournament sponsors HSBC Bank Brasil.
"The sport has been so energised here by its introduction to the Olympics and the prospect of its return in the 2016 Rio Games, but a 'local' win at the HSBC Brasil Cup will still play a substantial part in fanning those flames even more. This event really can be a catalyst, just as the WGC-HSBC Champions has been a catalyst for growth in China. That was the strategy behind investing here just as we have in Asia," he added.
Relatively forgotten in the excitement was the performance of the 31-year-old Wright, who was overjoyed at getting back into contention for a title for the first time since she finished runner-up at the LPGA Championship, one of the women's Majors, in 2009.
"To finish second and to have a chance of winning was awesome; just for my confidence. I felt really pleased because I went for every shot. On the last hole I went for it, pulled off the shot and nearly holed the putt. I was happy to be in that position; really happy to get the nerves and that "Yeah! This is great!" feeling… and I haven't had that feeling in a long time," Wright said.
