Kurt Koloseike and James Samter were at a crossroads. The partners founded FlagZone, based in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, in 1999. By 2005, sales of the company's flags and banners reached $14.5 million--and Samter, age 60, was ready to retire. For 37-year-old Koloseike, however, it was just the beginning. He was determined to turn FlagZone into the nation's top flag maker. "We were at different points in our careers," Koloseike recalls.
The partners mulled their options for months. Koloseike couldn't afford to buy out Samter, who owned a 55 percent stake in FlagZone. Discouraged, they considered selling the business altogether. Then, their financial adviser suggested a recapitalization. It seemed like a perfect solution: Koloseike could raise capital by selling a minority stake in FlagZone to private equity investors, then use the cash to buy out Samter. The investors would have a say in the business, but Koloseike would still control daily operations.
Recapitalizing--the reorganization of a firm's capital structure--allows business owners to take cash out of their companies while maintaining a meaningful ownership stake. The strategy often involves a combination of debt financing and equity capital from third-party investors, such as private equity firms. Depending on how the recapitalization is structured, the strategy can offer business owners more control than they might have with other forms of financing, such as venture capital. Business owners can use the capital raised to invest in operations, buy out a partner, or even pad their own bank accounts. And, unlike VCs, who are notorious for stacking company boards and seizing control of daily operations, private equity firms involved in recapitalizations are often content with a seat on the board, monthly financial updates, and a say in strategic decisions, as long as certain benchmarks are met along the way.
Companies have been using the strategy for decades, but recapitalizations have become increasingly popular the past few years, thanks in large part to the fast-growing private equity market. The number of private equity firms in the U.S. has increased 16 percent, to 1,600, since 2000, according to New York City research firm Thomson Venture Economics. Thanks to heated competition among firms, many businesses find that they can negotiate more favorable terms and give away less equity, says Howard Ross, managing partner of Philadelphia private equity firm LLR Partners. "The equity dollar buys less than it did five years ago," says Ross, who now works on twice as many recapitalizations as he did back then.
After deciding to recapitalize, Koloseike spent three months creating a 20-page proposal that included a detailed description of FlagZone's manufacturing process, profiles of the company's major clients, historical financial records, and sales projections. He sent the proposal to five private equity firms and received two bids.
For Koloseike, finding investors who shared his vision was key. "It's not just a funding source," he says. "You're looking for a financial partner who understands your business." In October, after vetting candidates for months, he raised $8 million in both debt and equity from Philadelphia-based TRF Private Equity; NewSpring Mezzanine Capital, a private equity firm in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania; and Wachovia Bank. Koloseike used the bulk of the money to buy out Samter. Next he redistributed his partner's shares. Koloseike now owns 55 percent of FlagZone; his private equity investors own 45 percent.
Recapitalizing can also mitigate personal risk for business owners. That appealed to William Loftus, who co-founded Gestalt, a Philadelphia-based IT consulting firm, in 2001. The company had turned a profit each year and boasted annual sales of $8 million in 2003. Still, Loftus was concerned that so much of his personal wealth--and that of his shareholders--was tied up in the business. He wanted the freedom to take risks with Gestalt without worrying about his personal stake.
Three months later, Loftus sold less than half of Gestalt to LLR Partners for $10 million. The process was relatively simple. An M&A lawyer helped Loftus identify several potential private equity investors. After vetting a handful of bids, he signed the $10 million deal with LLR Partners in April 2004. Loftus plowed $6 million back into Gestalt, and distributed the rest among the company's four founders, including himself. "That's mostly for my kids' future," he says. LLR holds one seat on Gestalt's five-person board of directors. Loftus sends Gestalt's monthly financial reports to his investors, but, for the most part, they leave daily operations to him.
Of course, achieving significant returns remains the top priority for private equity firms. Some contracts stipulate that companies must hand over additional board seats if financial goals are not met. Most firms plan to cash out within three to seven years, often through the sale of the company. Koloseike, for his part, hopes to buy out his investors by then, or sell FlagZone.
The good news is that many firms have lowered their ROI expectations, says Barron Fletcher, managing director of Parallel Investment Partners, a private equity firm in Dallas. These days, most private equity investors expect annual returns of between 20 and 35 percent, compared with between 25 and 40 percent several years ago.
The cost of completing a recapitalization can be steep. The price tag--including fees paid to M&A attorneys--starts at 1 percent of the deal amount and varies according to the complexity of the transaction. FlagZone's recapitalization cost $550,000.
As far as Koloseike is concerned, it was money well spent. In the past year, he has plowed $2 million into hiring staff and buying equipment. With the help of TRF, which now holds a seat on FlagZone's board, he plans to enter the specialty advertising market this year. He also put some cash in a college fund for his three daughters. "This is 'sleep well at night' money," he says. "Now I can focus on running the company."

Although video games often receive a bad rap, KitGuru has demonstrated the many ways in which video games have a positive impact on gamers and non-gamers alike. While many people are aware of the health benefits of games through iProduct apps and dance games, other benefits are less widely known, such as how games can help seniors, aid in the fight to cure cancer, and prevent crime.
It is proven that video games actually do change your brain, often for the better. University of Wisconsin psychology C. Shawn Green cites that although any activity such as reading or playing instruments change brain activity, "games definitely hit the reward system in a way that not all activities do." Tests measuring the impact of video games have been far and widespread, though these tests have determined that video games do, in fact, increase cognitive function.
Middle school students were studied for three years, and those that played computer games scored higher on creativity tests, no matter which kind of game they played. Another study found that those who play action games "[make] decisions 25% faster than others without sacrificing accuracy." (Perhaps not a surprising find given that gamers are frequently expected to make rapid decisions on a constant basis.) Female gamers are even able to "mentally manipulate 3D objects" better than their non-gaming counterparts, an activity that men are typically more skilled at.
Since educational games have not yet attained a level as engaging as games produced for the general gaming population, the same effects cannot be achieved with your average Oregon Trail game, no matter the edition. The amount of intensity required for intense actions, sports games, etc. impacts the brain's neurons in a way that less involved, educational games cannot. Scientists are still unsure whether the violence in these games is necessary to create a positive "learning effect." Only further studies will show the importance of violence in brain function.
KitGuru says: Who knows what scientists will discover next regarding video games and their associated benefits? It can be said with some degree of certainty, however, that games will have a larger presence and impact in future society than can currently be predicted.

Geraldine Zylinsky helps Beth Newland, of Zanesville. Zylinsky has volunteered on the Spirit of Women advisory board since 2007. / Trevor Jones/Times Recorder
About the series
The Times Recorder is profiling local people who make a difference in their communities through volunteer work. These features will appear each Monday.
The articles will highlight people in Muskingum, Perry and Morgan counties who participate in volunteer efforts that are not part of their jobs.
To submit suggestions, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
ZANESVILLE — Several volunteers helped people dance their way to heart and vascular health at this years Genesis HealthCare Spirit of Womens Day of Dance event.
The event began in 2007 and is a national event with more than 70 hospitals participating. The event allows the public to go through screening, talk to cardiologists and learn more about how to stay healthy. Throughout the event, about 250 to 300 people come in for screening, and about 600 people will come through the area to see the dancing and other activities.
With so many people in attendance, volunteers are essential. This year, about 35 volunteers helped with paperwork, registration, screenings and more.
Geraldine Zylinsky, Francine Swiger and Joy Wolfel, members of the Spirit of Women advisory board, spent time taking peoples screening forms all while wearing their red Day of Dance shirts and a smile.
Zylinsky and Swiger, both of Zanesville, have been volunteering at the event since it started seven years ago.
When (Day of Dance) started, it was natural for me to be interested in trying to help a good program, Zylinsky said. She began volunteering with Genesis about 40 years ago, after her son was born, as a way to give back to the community. During her time as a volunteer, she worked at the gift shop, pushed the gift cart around, and spoke with new mothers and took pictures at the hospital of their children.
Swiger got involved with the board as a way to be active in the community.
I was the community president for Huntington Bank, and as a part of that, I did a lot of community work and wanted to stay involved, Swiger said.
Swiger finds her work with the Spirit of Women to be rewarding, especially because the organization shines a light on the needs of women in the community.
It helps women who may not be aware of services offered here and serves a broader base where the target audience is women in need who may not be able to financially afford some services, Swiger said. Genesis is such an important part of the health of our community. Its such a good feeling to help them do their job in building a healthier community.
Seeing so many people receiving free preventive care is rewarding for Zylinsky.
Ive just really been so rewarded by volunteering, Zylinsky said. Ive seen doctors take time to come here to talk to people and answer their questions.
She remembered one year a man was screened and then immediately taken to the hospital.
It brings attention to health care, and to see the doctors so concerned was good, Zylinsky said.
This event can be a real wake-up call where people are made aware of these issues.
Swiger had a moment from last years event, which she remembers.
There was an older man here, and I think he just enjoyed having people to talk, to and he broke out into song and started singing to us. It was very cute. Swiger said.
Meeting people is one of the reasons these women enjoy volunteering.
Just seeing all the people out here is enjoyable, you see so many people who enjoy this event, Zylinsky said. When you do something for other people, it makes you feel good, and I believe you get benefits from giving to others.
Wolfel, of Zanesville, is a first-year volunteer, who was recruited by Swiger to help out.
I think its a wonderful and great way to help the community receive these services for free and to those who might not otherwise receive them, Wolfel said.
She enjoyed her experience so much she plans on coming back to future events.
I love giving back and helping people in anyway I can, Wolfel said. I feel like Ive been given a great opportunity and want to give back

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Democratic Congresswoman Shelley Berkley is
trying to link Republican Sen. Dean Heller to talk radio host Rush
Limbaugh and his comments about a Georgetown University student.
Berkley told reporters during a conference call Wednesday that Heller shares Limbaugh's priorities. She also blasted Heller for not issuing a statement after Limbaugh called student Sandra Fluke a "slut" because she urged lawmakers to consider the importance of contraception coverage.
Berkley and other Democrats have requested that the Republican House leadership condemn Limbaugh's comments.
Limbaugh has since apologized.
Berkley's latest attack comes after she called Heller anti-woman for voting for a measure that would have allowed some employers to opt out of the federal health care law.
Heller said he supports religious freedom.
Heller and Berkley are in a tight U.S. Senate race.

Testicles: they don't call them a man's jewels for no reason. After all, they're the source of all our manliness, producing testosterone daily, which gives us muscle definition, the hair on our faces, and the ability to perform sexually. This should explain, then, why we prize them so much, and why it hits so close to home when people like Tom Green and Lance Armstrong are diagnosed with testicular cancer — both of them got a testicle removed, and Green even had his operation televised.
There's another condition that's particularly scary for men: testicular atrophy, colloquially known as shrinking balls. Finding out your balls are shrinking is especially scary because you probably won't feel anything resembling a tumor underneath, however, you'll sure as hell be wondering what's causing it and if you're in danger of anything. If you ever find yourself going from walnuts to grapes down there, it could be because of one of these five reasons.

Mark Davitt talks to Steve Heaberlin of Indianola, Simpson College Democrats President Taylor Van De Krol of Lynnville, Kiley Murray of Evergreen, Colo., and Ashley Gomez of West Liberty at Simpson College in Indianola on Monday.
Mark Davitt of Indianola is running a short, whirlwind campaign for the Iowa Senate, but - like his opponent - he needs no introduction to many District 13 voters in Madison and Warren counties.
The Winterset native served in the House from 2003 through 2009. In addition, his father, the late Phil Davitt, who graduated from high school in nearby Martensdale, was a House member from 1977 through 1985.
Davitt says one of the key issues in his candidacy for the Nov. 19 special election is integrity in government. ...

Sheriff's office using Facebook in kidnapping case
ALOHA, Ore. – On Saturday the Washington County Sheriff's Office sent out the following hastily-worded tweet: "We are looking for this man in Aloha. His girlfriend just escaped from him and said he had kidnapped her. He is..."
The link from that tweet on Twitter lands on the sheriff's office Facebook Wall photo, showing the man pictured above. The Facebook photo caption also provides further information from the Washington County Sheriff's Office representative on Facebook.
Deputies say the man was last seen in the area of Southwest Farmington Road and Southwest 185th Avenue.
"We think he is on foot, but he may have hitched a ride or taken a bus out fo the are[a]," the Facebook spokesperson reports. "Please call 911 if you see him."
We now know that on Saturday morning a woman ran into the Postal Annex at Southwest Farmington Road and 185th Avenue. She reported she had been kidnapped, assaulted and forced to drive from Eugene to Aloha by the man pictured above – a felon recently out of prison. Further details.
Around 3 p.m. Saturday we received the following additional information from the sheriff's office:
"About 10:51 a.m. [Saturday] sheriff's deputies responded to a female 911 caller at the Postal Annex located at 18645 SW Farmington Road in the community of Aloha. She reported that her boyfriend, 27-year-old Raymond Hetman from Eugene, had kidnapped her in Eugene yesterday and forced her to drive to Aloha last night.
"Mr. Hetman is originally from Aloha and has been living in Eugene since he was released from prison a few months ago. He was in prison for Theft I and Attempt to Elude a police officer.
"The female victim told deputies that Mr. Hetman physically assaulted her several times yesterday and last night. The victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was not transported to a hospital. When they got to Aloha they slept in the car overnight and this morning the victim escaped. She ran to the Postal Annex and called 911."
Raymond Hetman is described as a white male, 6-feet-3-inches tall, 200 to 215 pounds with short blond hair. He could be wearing wire-rimmed glasses, T-shirt and blue jeans. A Washington County Sheriff's spokesperson says Hetman is "significantly heavier" than he was when the mug shot above was taken, in 2007.
Deputies have since seized the victim's car, which was driven up from Eugene. They say Hetman could still be on foot or could be riding public transportation.
Deputies are actively searching for Hetman and ask that the public keep a lookout for him. Hetman has a felony warrant from the State Parole Board unrelated to this incident.
"If you see Raymond Hetman call 911 and report him immediately," the sheriff's office reports. "Do not attempt to contact him."

Eric Stonestreet
Eric Stonestreet may partially owe his two-time Emmy Award-winning career to a member of his K-State family — a former fraternity brother.
A fellow member of Pi Kappa Alpha challenged Stonestreet to audition for a role in a K-State play. He not only got the role, but once he walked on stage, he captivated the audience.
"I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for K-State theatre," said Stonestreet, star of ABC's "Modern Family."
After K-State, he went to Chicago's The Second City, an improvisational comedy club in which many comedians have launched their careers, and also appeared in plays and commercials. When he made the leap to Hollywood, he found work on shows like the "The West Wing," "CSI" and "NCIS" before landing the role of Cameron Tucker in "Modern Family," for which he's best known.
"I am a Kansas guy who is living a pretty fantastical dream of a life," he said.
Contagious enthusiasm for theater created an opportunity for big goals to become reality for Eric Stonestreet. That's the Wildcat Way.

Motorola Droid Bionic update to help notorious camera lag
updated 07:05 pm EST, Thu December 8, 2011
Motorola Droid Bionic update due Friday
Verizon on Thursday posted details of a major update to the Motorola Droid Bionic that could alleviate the phone's at times infamous camera lag. The notes outline an improvement to autofocusing on the Android phone that will "reduce the shutter response time." Image quality itself will go up as well, Verizon said.
Other additions bring its 4G hotspot support up to the eight devices Verizon normally allows, faster activation on a "cold" SIM card, and a jump to the most recent message when the phone is tilted on its side.
Bug fixes are very broad. The device is overall more reliable and is expected to be much less likely to lock up or spontaneously reboot, most of all when using Bluetooth headsets, HDMI video, or when using the Lapdock add-on. Memory usage and overall performance should be better with the notebook-style cradle.
Verizon hasn't clarified when the update will go live, but it usually posts update notices within a few days of being ready to push it out to users.
The patches could help smooth out a phone whose reputation has been hurt almost since it was first unveiled. Shown at CES, the Bionic was entirely redesigned and switched processors just weeks later after what's sometimes believed to be problems in getting the Tegra 2 to cooperate with Motorola's 4G chip. It only ended up arriving in September, close enough that the Droid RAZR shipped just weeks later and completely outclassed it.
Camera lag on the phone today often sees several seconds between shots, enough that it let Apple use the Bionic's sluggish camera to score points for the iPhone 4S' fast shooting. VP Phil Schiller joked that Bionic owners had to "go get coffee" between photos.

It was hard not to get mixed messages from the rostrum, too.
That nominee had three challenges as he took the rostrum in Tampa.
Presently they were all assembled, and the Head appeared upon his rostrum.
The doctor dropped down from his rostrum as if his task were done.
Each member has his chair and desk, the seats being arranged in semicircles around the rostrum.
Every knot of men had its grievance; every flag in the pavement was a rostrum.
The Buddhists, and the unbelievers who figure so boastingly upon the rostrum in modern times, speak alike.
And finally, as capacity was reached, he came to the rostrum.
The leaders of the Barcine party now appeared on the scene, and their most popular orator ascended the rostrum.
The professor then took his place again on the rostrum, with the pointer in his hand.
1540s, from Latin rostrum, name of the platform stand for public speakers in the Forum in ancient Rome. It was decorated with the beaks of ships taken in the first naval victory of the Roman republic, over Antium, in 338 B.C.E., and the word's older sense is "end of a ship's prow," literally "beak, muzzle, snout," originally "means of gnawing," instrument noun form of rodere "to gnaw" (see rodent). Cf. claustrum "lock, bar," from claudere "to shut." Extended sense of any platform for public speaking is first recorded 1766. Classical plural form is rostra.
rostrum ros·trum (rŏs'trəm)
n. pl. ros·trums or ros·tra (-trə)
A beaklike or snoutlike projection.

Retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrsytal says he got hit in the head by a metaphorical curveball, but he managed to pick himself up, dust himself off and transition from being a soldier to running a business, McChrystal wrote for Linkedin's 'Career Curveballs' blog. (Petty Officer 1st Class Mark O'Donald / DoD)
- Filed Under
Retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrsytal says he got hit in the head by a metaphorical curveball, but he managed to pick himself up, dust himself off and transition from being a soldier to running a business, McChrystal wrote for Linkedins Career Curveballs blog.
In June 2010, McChrystal was serving as the top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan when his 38-year military career came to an abrupt end due to an article in Rolling Stone magazine, which portrayed unidentified members of his staff being disrespectful toward civilian leaders. In the blog, posted on Tuesday, McChrsytal said the story depicted him and his staff in a manner that felt as unfamiliar as it was unfair.
But there was no way for McChrystal to undo the damage caused by the controversy surrounding the article and McChrystal flew to Washington, D.C., where he submitted his resignation to President Obama.
I walked out of the Oval Office and in an instant, a profession that had been my lifes passion and focus came to an end, he wrote. I would not return to Afghanistan; the mission would continue without me. I no longer commanded the forces I loved.
Even seemingly mundane details like where we lived and what I was called had shifted suddenly. The uniform Id first donned as a 17-year old plebe at West Point, the uniform of my father, grandfather, and brothers, was no longer mine to wear.
McChrystal had been a soldier for his entire adult life, and now that was over.
Id been soldiering as long as Id been shaving, he wrote. Suddenly Id been told I could no longer soldier, and it felt as though no one really cared if I ever shaved again. Id caught a curveball directly on the chin; I wanted to find a corner of the dugout, away from TV cameras, to rub my head and maybe sniffle a bit.
Instead of feeling like a victim, McChrystal decided to tackle the big questions before him: Now that he was no longer a soldier, what was he, and what would he do next? Since then, he has since started his own company, The McChrystal Group, and he teaches a course about leadership at Yale University.
I was raised a soldier. I was familiar with weapons, tactics, and war, he wrote. But years on the battlefield had taught me that soldiering is really about people. Weapons dont dig muddy foxholes people do. War plans dont evacuate wounded comrades people do. The Pentagon doesnt create the brotherhood of the Army people do. What Id learned, above all other lessons, was the importance of those you surround yourself with. That lesson would be with me forever, uniform or no uniform.
Michael Hastings, the reporter that wrote the Rolling Stone article that ended McChrystals career, later turned his reporting from Afghanistan into a book: The Operators. Brad Pitt will reportedly play McChrystal in the movie version of the book. Hastings was killed in an August 2013 car crash.

Diplomacy - any way to give other factions exact amount of money which i want? Cause lowest game allows me is 1/10 of my total money and with 999999 its bit too much.
And i cant rewrite that amount to my own like in all previous TW games.
Nope, for whatever reason they've decided to completely break that portion of diplomacy. Cross your fingers they unbreak it (and many other things) in a patch, or wait for a modder to fix it.
A few years ago i got cancer and after long time iam somewhat back to a nearly normal life again. but what retained is a huge lack of concentration and the loss of quick reactions.
you guys helping me a lot to play many ( for me )difficult stages in many games. without the help of your trainers i couldnt even play one single game all the way through.
i really wish people would change their way of thinking about cheaters....there are so few of us who only cheat because of their will to win against others...
sorry for being personally here i hope its ok, but i wanted to let you know how important your work is.
thx much
Thanks for the trainer though!! Really appreciate for all you've done! (:
And when i used the trainer, the crash came soon, after one or two rounds.
So it must be the trainer.

Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Gov. Bill Haslam says he plans no major changes to the state's public higher education system next legislative session and has yet to decide whether his administration will take the lead on a bill to create a school vouchers program in Tennessee.
Haslam told reporters in an interview in his office suite in Nashville on Tuesday that he may propose some tweaks to the lottery scholarships and other changes for higher education but that he won't introduce legislation to overhaul the governance of the state's colleges and universities.
The governor this year signed a law giving him direct control over the appointment of the Tennessee Higher Education Commission but said he has no imminent plans to make any changes.
Haslam added he is still evaluating recommendations on school vouchers.

Where is your advertising?
by happy client denver , 09/27/2010
Ummm so I have to say this company lost out on my business quite a few times. I have used them once before from seeing them a couple years ago in the dex pages book. I had to search like you wouldnt believe to figure out what the heck the phone number and website was for this business. This includes searching on search engines like Google... If they wanted to be a company people use - they should consider doing some advertising...?? Shouldnt be this hard to do business with
Consistently good service
by Davis , 04/05/2010
We've always been happy with By Jeeves. Deliveries have usually been earlier than expected. Occasionally a few minutes late, but that's usually when it's snowing or raining cats and dogs out! Their restaurant selection is really diverse...i wish every restaurant delivered with them, though. They FINALLY have online ordering now which is super convenient for me, and their prices went down at the same time...woohoo!
By Jeeves is a TERRIBLE catering/courier service
by Steve , 09/09/2009
We order lunch from By Jeeves a couple times a month where I work, and they are NEVER ON TIME with the deliveries. Jeeves is consistently 15 minutes early, or 40 minutes late. Worst courier service ever, I honestly don't know how they're still in business. If you want your food delivered on time, you're better off picking it up yourself. Jeeves is terrible, I highly recommend you avoid them at all costs
by hojo , 03/13/2008
The food was WAY over priced and was cold and gross by the time we received it. Never Again!!!!!!!!
Excellent Service
by legacy , 10/30/2007
Excellent service! Perfect for those busy nights for an at home dinner without cooking.
by buddy1 , 10/25/2007
The concept is nice - any restaurant you like delivered to your office (or wherever) but you definately pay for it!!!!

CLINTON, Miss. -- Federal assistance approved for people in 14 Mississippi counties that were declared a major disaster area by the president following the historic flooding of the Mississippi River and its tributaries now totals $1,373,224 and is expected to grow rapidly as flood waters recede.
While many recovery efforts along the Mississippi River are held back by the heavy flooding, state and federal disaster officials are primed and ready to speed work as water levels continue to go down.
Several forms of federal assistance may be available, but people must first register with FEMA. That can be done by calling 800-621-FEMA (3362) or TTY 800-462-7585 for people with speech or hearing impairment. Telephone registration is available between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. daily.
Application can also be made on FEMA's website, www.DisasterAssistance.gov at any time. A person can also track the status of an application on that site. Another way to register is by web-enabled cell phone at m.fema.gov.
Here is a summary through Wednesday, June 1, of all federal assistance to individuals in counties affected by the flooding that began May 3, and continues.
- $1,373,224 in total housing and personal needs has been approved.
- Of that amount, $1,336,124 has been approved for housing expenses, including temporary rental assistance, home repair costs and assistance toward replacing destroyed homes.
- $37,099 has been approved as "Other Needs Assistance" to cover essential disaster-related needs, such as medical and dental expenses and lost personal possessions.
- 1,398 Low-interest loan applications have been issued to homeowners, renters and business owners by the U.S. Small Business Administration.
- 3,228 applicants have registered with FEMA for some form of disaster assistance.
- 978 visits have been made at Disaster Recovery Centers operated jointly by FEMA and the state of Mississippi.
- 1,668 home inspections to confirm disaster damage have been completed.
- Teams of state and FEMA Community Relations field specialists have distributed more than 22,403 flyers and worked in the affected counties to help identify and assist disaster survivors. In the course of explaining the recovery process, the teams have visited:
- 5,126 residents
- 1,498 businesses
- 537 faith-based groups
- 128 community organizations
- 46 schools
- 327 emergency managers, fire and law enforcement officials
- 228 government officials
- 81 post offices
Amounts approved under FEMA's Individuals and Households Program for counties affected by the May 2011 flooding of the Mississippi River and its tributaries:

Alcohol is believed to be a cause in a single-car crash on Interstate 25 that left a Colorado Springs teacher dead and another seriously injured in the early morning hours of Jan. 13.
According to the Colorado State Patrol the 27-year-old Ashley Brooks of Colorado Springs sustained serious injuries when the 2006 Mazda 3 sedan she was driving overturned near the Baptist Road on-ramp. The passenger Katherine Banzhaf, 26, a teacher at Soaring Eagles Elementary School in Colorado Springs died as a result of her injuries. Both were wearing seatbelts.
In a press release sent out by CSP the Mazda was travelling southbound on I-25 when it veered onto the narrow eastern shoulder. The driver overcorrected as she attempted to bring the car back to its lane causing the Mazda to begin rotating clockwise. The Mazda continued to spin across the southbound lanes before it travelled off the western edge of the road.
The Mazda went across a grassy median that separates the lanes of the interstate from the on-ramp to Baptist Road and began to overturn when it reached the on-ramp. The car continued to roll across the on-ramp and down an embankment before it came to rest on its wheels facing north.
State troopers believe alcohol was a contributing factor and the accident remains under investigation.

EU to recommend location data must be opt-in
updated 03:40 pm EDT, Thu May 12, 2011
EU officials plan non-binding geolocation policy
The European Union's Article 29 Working Party regulator group said on Thursday that it would put out a non-binding opinion that would set the direction for location data on smartphones and other devices. The statement would call on companies to assume location was personal information and get permission, avoid tying location to a person, and purge the information after a certain amount of time. It could serve as a possible guideline, however, for future action by the European Commission or individual countries that would make location privacy a requirement.
Separately, a few European countries such as Germany and the UK have already launched inquiries into mobile location data. Most of these have centered on iOS devices and Android after reports claiming they were tracking data either without consent or more than owners expected.
Both Apple and Google defended their existing policies at a hearing in the US this week. Apple has maintained that its log of locations was intended for a crowd-sourced database and was only marking nearby access points, not the user. Google has maintained that all its tracking is opt-in but hasn't offered a full explanation of why location info is collected as frequently as every two minutes.
Apple may skirt any deeper problems as its recent iOS 4.3.3 update cut back on the scope of location data it collected while making that data more secure.

The Canberra Times
|Daily newspaper
|Fairfax Media
|9 Pirie Street, Fyshwick, ACT
|OCLC number
The Canberra Times newspaper was founded in 1926 in Canberra, Australia by Arthur Shakespeare.
It was the second paper to be printed in the city, the first being The Federal Capital Pioneer. The paper was sold to the Fairfax group in the 1960s by Arthur Shakespeare on the condition that it continue to advocate for Canberra. It was later sold to Publishing and Broadcasting Limited, which in turn sold it to Kerry Stokes in 1989 for $110 million. Rural Press Limited bought the paper from Stokes in 1998 for $160 million. The Times rejoined the Fairfax stable in 2007 when Rural Press merged with Fairfax. The paper first went online on 31 March 1997.
Its current editor-at-large is Jack Waterford. Previous editors include Michelle Grattan (1993–95), the first female editor of a metropolitan daily newspaper in Australia. A recent editor-in-chief, Peter Fray, left in January 2009 to edit The Sydney Morning Herald. He was succeeded by Rod Quinn, who announced the formation of a new senior editorial team in 2012.[1]
The Canberra Times was originally located in the Civic retail precinct and is currently in Fyshwick.
Editorial cartoonists employed by The Canberra Times include Geoff Pryor, David Pope, and Pat Campbell.
In 2008, The Canberra Times printed a formal apology[2] after the paper published an essay in which Irfan Yusuf falsely accused American historian Daniel Pipes of suggesting that Muslims deserved to be slaughtered as Jews were during the Holocaust.[3][4]
On 17 October 2008, The Canberra Times was distributed with a sticker advertising the ACT Labor Party on the front page. Complaints about the sticker prompted the general manager, Ken Nichols, to issue an explanation.[5]

If you're a composer or arranger that plays any instrument other than guitar, this is for you. Creating sheet music for a guitar player is simple, but like any other instrument, the guitar has strengths, weaknesses, and limits as to what is physically possible to play. Understanding these things will make you a favorite composer of guitarists for generations to come. No exaggeration–my mouth waters when I see certain arranger credits because I know my part is going to be well written and fun to play, while a few other names prompt me to just turn off my amp.
Before you can start, you need a good guitarist that reads music. [Insert guitarist joke here.] I will stick to the basics, but advanced guitarists, depending on the size of their hands, can push the limits of these chord voicings to great effect. You also need to understand basic music theory because I'll be talking a lot about intervals, inversions, and chord tones. Once you start writing your music, it helps to have some good music notation software so the final results are easy to read. I use Sibelius, but I used to be a Finale guy. Either will do the trick.
Throughout this discussion I will use relative terms to describe similar but different concepts:
- 'Low' and 'high' relate to pitch–this should be self explanatory.
- 'Bottom' and 'top' relate to strings–bottom = lower pitched, top = higher pitched.
- 'Up' and 'down' refer to left hand position on the neck–the further 'up' the neck you move, the higher the pitch on each string. The terminology here suggests vertical movement, but physically, the hand is moving horizontally. Simply picture where the pitches go on the staff… up and down.
When I list pitches, I'll start with the lowest pitch on the bottom-most string and work my way to the highest pitch on the top string. I also put an asterisk (*) next to terms that are defined in greater detail at the end of the article.
This article deals mostly with chord voicings because guitarists have fewer limitations with single note lines, as long as they stay within the range of the instrument. Towards the end we'll discuss notating nuances like bends, slides, hammer-on and pull-off slurs, muted strings, effects, and other manipulated sounds.
Guitar is notated in the treble clef.
A standard guitar has six strings tuned in 4ths, with the exception of a major 3rd between the second and third highest strings. The pitches are, from low/bottom to high/top: E, A, D, G, B, E.
This next part might sound obvious, but it's very important to understand. Guitarists use four (4) fingers to change these pitches. Some of us might use our thumb to reach over the top of the neck and grab a bass note, but in general, we've got four fingers to work with. Similar to a piano player pressing two adjacent keys with one finger, a guitarist can press two or more strings down with one finger. This is called barring*. On a piano, the technique produces an interval of a major or minor 2nd. On the guitar, it produces an interval of a 4th or major 3rd, equivalent to the tuning of the open strings.
For example, take a look at the diagram notating the open strings' pitches. If I barred the highest three strings, G, B, and E, I would essentially have a first inversion minor triad that can be moved up and down the neck with parallel intervals. This knowledge will help you notate specific chord voicings for your guitarist.
The guitar sounds an octave lower than written. If you want your guitarist to play middle C, you must write it on the C in the staff.
Again, take a look at the pitches for open strings. Those all sound an octave lower than if you played it on a piano.
We know that E is the lowest pitch available based on that chart. The highest pitch available on most electric guitars is D four octaves higher. But compose in that range at your own peril, because playing that far up the neck chokes off much of the tone and sustain, and is more difficult. Therefore a safe range is the G below that.
Notice that even though guitar is written in treble clef, it's range actually covers the entire bass clef.
If you want your guitarist to spend a lot of time in the higher range, write the part an octave lower and mark the section with 8va so he or she knows to play it an octave higher. Music is simply easier to read and write when you avoid passages with a lot of ledger lines.
Standard Chord Voicings.
Generally, when you want your guitarist to play chords, writing chord symbols above a staff with generic slash marks for each beat will do the trick. If you want a particular rhythm, create rhythmic slashes. If you want a particular note in the top of the voicing, simply notate it with the chord symbols directly above, like a lead sheet.
However, sometimes you'll want specific voicings. It helps to understand the intervals found in several very basic chord voicings frequently used by guitarists. These voicings can all be played as bar chords* and moved up and down the neck, maintaining the same intervals between each chord tone. In other words, if I play a C major bar chord and move it up a whole step (or two frets, in guitar lingo), we get a D major. Move it up another whole step and it's E major. Unlike moving triads up and down the white keys of a piano, the chords do not transpose diatonically on a guitar. That would require a different voicing.
Here are four triad bar chord voicings I play regularly, with a fifth option used occassionally.
Let's take a look at a few things:
- 1-4 have six notes, one for each string. 5a and 5b use 5 strings because the fingering gets tricky with all 6 strings as you move up the neck. Of course, you will probably use 3 or 4 note voicings most of the time. Just because a pianist has 10 fingers doesn't mean every chord has 10 notes!
- Comparing any of these to the open string chart, each note is no more than a minor 3rd from the open string. This is to avoid large stretches.
- The chords are made up of 3rds and 4ths, with no more than one 5th or 6th. That's due to the standard tuning of the guitar.
- You never find more than two adjacent 3rds.
Transposing these chords coupled with changing notes by 1/2 or whole steps will give you the garden variety of major, minor, and 7th chords, along with your basic suspensions. These would all sound very idiomatic on the guitar, or dare I say guitaristic.
Drop 2 Voicings.
Perhaps you need to be very specific and write your own voicings. A simple way to ensure every voicing you write is playable on the guitar is to use drop 2 voicings*. Here's an example of a Cmaj7 chord in all four inversions–block chord first and then the drop 2.
I have yet to find a block chord that cannot be converted to a nice guitar voicing using the drop 2 method. It is a fail-safe way to make your guitarist happy.
Fourth-y Voicings.
Because of the way the strings are tuned, chord voicings built on 4ths are very guitar friendly. It's common to add a major 3rd at the top as well. These sorts of chords are very common in jazz when you want an "open" sound. The chords Bill Evans plays on Miles Davis' "So What" and Herbie Hancock's opening piano part to "Maiden Voyage" both use these sorts of voicings. These are an excellent option for the guitar.
Things to Avoid When Writing Chords.
Cluster chords and voicings with more than two major or minor 2nds are difficult if not impossible to play. The only exception is when open strings are utilized, but this is a tricky technique to use without some experience playing the guitar yourself.
You should also avoid writing passages with many different chords changing rapidly. The only exception is if the chords use the same or very similar voicings, moving parallel up or down the neck. Generally speaking, this is a tricky thing to execute, and will require some shedding by your guitarist. Use your descretion.
Avoid dropping large chord voicings into single note lines. Again, even if you follow all the rules and make guitar-friendly voicings, you could be sentencing your guitarist to hours in the practice room.
Chord Arpeggios
Guitarists often play arpeggios one of two ways, either as a melodic single note line or as a broken chord with sustaining notes. Composers often want the latter, but are not sure how to properly notate ringing arpeggios for guitar.
The easiest way to indicate that you'd like an arpeggiated chord to be sustained is to notate it like the example below.
Keep in mind that your chord voicings must follow the ruled mentioned above. If two notes have to be played on the same string, only the latter will be sustained.
You may also notate the rhythm while leaving the exact voicing up the the guitarist. Simply leave the note heads blank and write the rhythm. Do not use slash notation, because that would indicate strumming. Notice in this example I've also given some shape to the arpeggio, which could act as a guide for the guitarist to play ascending or descending patterns.
Slurs and Articulation.
You can notate slurs the same way you would on any other instrument, by tying a connecting notes with an arch. Remember, notes on the guitar are plucked, so there will be a certain amound of decay on notes further away from the initial attack.
If you want to use notate specific types of slurs, see the figure below.
Each of these assumes the high G is sounding on beat three and is being approached with a different slur. The grace note tells the guitarist where to start.
- A slide simply means sliding one finger up or down the string to the target pitch. Notice the line between the grace note and target pitch.
- A bend is executed by pulling the string until the target target pitch is heard. You'll notice the "W.B." above the curved line. That stands for Whole-step Bend. You can also have 1/2 step bends, notated as "1/2 B." You can start on a bent string and release it to the target pitch. It's noted in the opposite direction as the example above.
- Hammer-on's and pull-off's differ from a slide in that two fingers are used, one for each note. These are useful in fast scale-like passages where you don't want 1/2 step pitches to sound. It's best to not write these kinds of slurs for intervals beyond a major 3rd.
A common articulation technique used by guitarists is called palm muting*. If you have a long passage of notes that you want played staccato, you can ask for the passage to be palm muted. Here's an example of a funk guitar line that uses palm muting.
You'll also notice the 'x' note heads. This is notating a muted, percussive attack of no particular pitch. It's easiest for the guitarist to read if you write the 'x' on the same note as the previous pitch.
General Tips and Advice.
- Listen to your favorite guitarists. Better yet, transcribe what they're playing. Most of what Pat Metheny plays is very idiomatic for the guitar (though the rest is incredibly difficult to execute). If somebody recorded it, then you'll know it's at least possible depending on the skill of the guitarist.
- Study classical guitar sheet music. This is the place to see examples of excellent guitar notation, down to what position a passage is played. Of course, most music does not have to be this detailed, but it's a great reference.
- Ask a guitarist! Leave a comment below, or better yet, talk to the guitarist that will play your music.
- Trial and error. This is how I learned how to write for brass, woodwinds, and drums. I also got pretty good at dodging airborn pencils in the process. Just be open to changing your parts.
*Definitions of Common Guitar Terms.
Bar (or barre) – The technique of pushing down several strings with one finger.
Bar chord – Chord voicings that do not use open strings. These can move up and down the neck in parallel intervals.
Drop 2 voicing – Voicings where the second highest note of a block chord is dropped an octave.
Palm muting – The technique of slightly muting the strings with the palm of the picking hand. Creates a staccato effect.
