Oahu, HI (Sports Network) - Suzann Pettersen 2-putted for par on the first
playoff hole Saturday to defeat Lizette Salas and win the LPGA LOTTE
Pettersen bogeyed the final hole of regulation for a 5-under 67. Salas, whose
birdie effort on the 18th hole lipped out, fired a 7-under 29 on the back nine
en route to a course-record, 10-under 62 at Ko Olina Golf Club.
They finished at 19-under-par 269 and smashed the 72-hole tournament scoring
record of 276, which Ai Miyazato set when she won last year.
Pettersen and Salas headed back to the 18th tee for the playoff and both found
the fairway with their tee shots. Pettersen played first and hit her approach
about 20 feet left of the hole.
Salas, who was in her first LPGA Tour playoff, chunked her second shot into
the water. She hit her fourth to 15 feet. Pettersen's birdie effort came up
two feet short of the hole. Salas' bogey effort stopped just left of the hole,
and she tapped in for double bogey.
Pettersen kicked in her par effort to seal her 11th LPGA Tour title.
Ariya Jutanugarn closed with a 6-under 66 to grab third place at minus-15.
Women's world No. 1 Inbee Park (67) and I.K. Kim (65) shared fourth at 13-
under-par 275.
Miyazato, last year's winner, managed an even-par 72 in the final round. She
ended alongside Na Yeon Choi (66) and Jessica Korda (69) at minus-11.
Stacy Lewis (71) and amateur Lydia Ko (66) were among six players that tied
for ninth place at 10-under-par 278.

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) -- Mason Plumlee scored a career-high 28 points, and No. 9 Duke routed Florida Gulf Coast 88-67 on Sunday night for its school-record 96th straight nonconference win at home.
Freshman Rasheed Sulaimon added 19 points and Ryan Kelly had 14 points for the Blue Devils (3-0).
They scored 30 straight points -- including a 23-0 run to close the first half -- to brush off a slow start, and forced 25 turnovers to cruise in this preliminary on-campus matchup in the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament.
Bernard Thompson scored a career-high 24 points for Florida Gulf Coast (2-2), which led for most of the first half.
But foul trouble, sloppy ball-handling and cold shooting during the last 5 1/2 minutes of the half ruined the Eagles' chances at their first win over a Top 25 team and second victory in six days against an Atlantic Coast Conference program.

Farmers have asked Suma JKT Company to involve their associations in its countrywide mechanisation centres strategy aimed at assisting the tillers to hire tractors at affordable prices.
Speaking in an interview with The Guardian over the phone from Arusha yesterday, Tanganyika Farmers' Association managing director Jerome Maimu, said if the farmers would be involved in the process, it will be easy for the programme to succeed.
He said the association has power to motivate many farmers to help implement the strategy.
Maimu also said that farmers in rural areas have always been struggling to get better tilling tools for their work such as tractors, adding that Suma JKT has to understand the importance of involving them as stakeholders in the context of assuring that tractors are supplied at the planned mechanisation centres.
Bonaventure Madaha, a cotton farmer from Kasamwa village in Geita Region said that small scale farmers are eagerly waiting to hire the tractors from the mechanisation centres due to be established by Suma JKT, adding that nothing has been done after the firm had announced its intention.
"We have waited for a long time after we heard that SUMA JKT will open up centres that will assure the farmers of rented tractors at affordable prices…but nothing has been done so far and there is no any indication that there is such a programme. We continue to suffer as we use the hand hoe as our major means of our production," he said.
George Katyega, also a farmer from Kondoa District in Dodoma Region complained on the delays by Suma JKT to kickstart the project saying the company was mandated to establish mechanisation centres throughout the country, but up to now has not done anything.
The management of Suma JKT Kilimo Kwanza Tractor project declared EARLY THIS YEAR that they will speed up establishment of mechanisation centres where farmers will be able to hire agricultural equipment at affordable prices.
The Project Manager Col Felix Samillan said that their management is still waiting for funds from the government to enable them to commence the programme throughout the country so that farmers, especially smallholder ones, can hire equipment at affordable charges.
"We are waiting for funds from the government, we believe that this project will take place very soon because our intention is to speedily move the farmers from the hoe to modern farming techniques," Col Samillan noted.
He added: "We know that farmers are still in hardship using the hand hoe in the world of science and technology, but we promise them that very soon the centres will be opened because we don't want to see them continue to use old technologies in agriculture."
The project manager said that after getting the funds, the company would set up centres in all the regions, adding that small holders-farmers would be free to access agricultural equipment.
He said the farmers would be required to form groups to make it easier for them to hire the tractors.
"At the end of the day farmers who are currently using the hoes will be able to purchase their own tractors…this is because by hiring the tractors they will increase productivity and generate more incomes to eventually own tractors," the project manager said.
He also pointed out that despite the efforts by the project management to reduce prices of the tractors down to 16million/- from around 25m/-, most of the small farmers could not afford the price, forcing them to continue using hand hoes.
It is also said that in order to overcome the challenges of Kilimo Kwanza initiative, the government through Suma JKT has reduced the prices of tractors by 25 per cent to 16m/- which however will enable many more smallholder farmers to purchase them.
"After reducing the price, the response has been positive and the number of buyers has gone up. The bulk importer of Indian tractors was charging between 25m/- and 45m/- per farm-track tractor. But now the price stands at 16m/- and we have sold many units," he said.
According to Samillan, this is the first phase of the project which started 2010 to supplement the government's efforts to boost the agricultural sector by selling tractors at reduced price targeting small farmers.

John Stossel | Confessions of a Media Maverick
Recorded: Friday, January 30, 2004
When pioneering television journalist John Stossel joined ABC-TV's "20/20" in 1981, his peers and an admiring public hailed him as a crusading consumer reporter. His hard-hitting, in-your-face exposes of con artists and corporate liars and crooks won him 19 Emmys and an avid following. But, could the use of government power and the Nanny State be the biggest scam of all?
In his new book, Give Me a Break, Stossel takes on a herd of sacred cows and examines how in the name of the "public interest," ambitious politicians and bureaucrats, intellectually lazy and opportunistic reporters, scaremongers, and predatory lawyers make life worse, especially for those most disadvantaged.
In this event John Stossel explained how his investigations of government waste, fraud and abuse; welfare for the rich; victimless crimes; self-serving interest groups; and sensationalist-media hyping (while ignoring real risks) reveal the crucial need to protect the civil and economic liberties of all people.
John Stossel, author of Give Me a Break. is co-anchor of ABC's "20/20." He also hosts ABC's "John Stossel Specials" for ABC television and radio, and ABCNews.com. In addition to having received 19 Emmy Awards, he has been honored five times for excellence in consumer reporting by the National Press Club. Among his other awards are the George Polk Award for Outstanding Local Reporting and the George Foster Peabody Award.

text: Dislocation Dance were a post-punk band from Manchester, England. The group's original line-up is obscure; their first EP, a self-titled 7" as a co-release between two labels, Delicate Issues and New Hormones recorded in May 1980, lists its line-up as 'B' on vocals and keyboard; 'Dick' on drums; 'Ian' on vocals and guitar, and 'Paul' on bass, but also mentions 'Past members of the band' as Rod Bloor, Kathryn Way, Tim Glasser, Ian Rogers (drummer, who subsequently joined Blue Orchids ) and Julie Gask. The group had formed in 1978 and included Ian Runacres (vocals, guitar), Andy Diagram (trumpet, vocals, also of The Diagram Brothers), Paul Emmerson (bass), and Dick Harrison (drums). The Slip That Disc 12" EP featured a much more confident and tight sound, as well as a cover of The Beatles' "We Can Work It Out". Both this release and the group's debut album Music Music Music (1981) featured the Runacres, Diagram, Emmerson and Harrison line-up. In 1982, Diagram left to join The Pale Fountains, the band also signing to Rough Trade. 1984's Midnight Shift album saw Kathryn Way rejoin as vocalist and a more jazzy pop sound, with Herbie Ryan joining on saxophone. A final EP, "What's Going On", saw the return of Diagram, and the replacement of Way by Sonja Clegg. The band called it a day in 1986, with Clegg going solo, releasing an album in 1987, and Diagram rejoining The Pale Fountains.

Hi. My name is May Parsey. I go to Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, and I am an illustration major. [May Parsey, Pratt Institute] I live in Bushwick. It's a really inspiring place to be. It's definitely its own little pocket of awesome. [laughing] I start traditionally, so I usually do a pencil sketch. I like drawing anything to do with the body, like rolls of fat in places that maybe it wouldn't be or really awesome noses with eyes. I pretend that they're real [chuckling], which is probably kind of weird. I thought of this new storyline where Humpty Dumpty is sitting on a wall. He invites all these creatures to come up and sit with him, and there are so many that come up to the wall they push him off. They try to put him together, but they put him together incorrectly. [♪ music ♪] I bring it into either Photoshop or Illustrator. You can use your line from a pencil drawing and, using the channels to get rid of white space, make it into lime green or red without the hassle of going over the line again. That has saved me a lot of time. I've worked on something and they have CS6 and I have CS5, and now that it's going to be continually updated, Creative Cloud is making it easier to send other people work and collaborate. You can do anything you want with a drawing. It's not quite traditional and not quite digital, but it's something completely new. [What do you want to make?] [Make it with Creative Cloud] [♪ music ♪]

(written from a Production point of view)
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, was one of the few Star Trek productions that introduced a multitude of new space faring designs at once, six in this case, including the Template:ShipClass. Though introduced as the fourth new Starfleet vessel design in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock as the USS Grissom, a far greater restraint, in comparison to the contemporary Excelsior-class studio model, has been observed when calling upon the design for repeat performances in later spin-off Star Trek productions. The design had only a limited presence in the Star Trek films, Star Trek: The Next Generation and one appearance only in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Design process
For The Search for Spock, a unique approach to designing was adopted, not seen before or after in the Star Trek franchise. Instead of the traditional way of thinking out a design, devising a design, coming up with detailed drawings to be approved of by visual effects supervisors and building models from blueprints, this time visual artists David Carson and Nilo Rodis-Jamero of Industrial Light & Magic produced their pre-visualization artwork and handed it over to model makers Steve Gawley, Bill George and their team to be translated into study models, in essence inviting them to use their own imagination to finish up on the design. Very much a collaborative effort, Carson later remembered,"We'd churn out quite a few sketches. Then the ones that were most promising we might polish up a little in color for presentation. It wasn't uncommon for me to do a drawing that would inspire Nilo, who would then turn it into his own drawing that would be much more impressive! He would often inspire me."(Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 3, Issue 8, p. 48) Once turned over to the model makers the resulting study models were presented to producer Harve Bennett and/or director Leonard Nimoy for appraisal or as supervising model maker Gawley put it,"You had all these models sitting on a table so that the director could really get a feel for what we were talking about. It just made everything easier to understand, and insured that everybody was on the same page. It also made it easier to give cost estimates."(Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 3, Issue 8, p. 20) Director of Photography Kenneth Ralston elaborated further,"From the beginning, once Nilo Rodis, one of the visual effects art directors, had done a sketch and they got an idea of what direction to go, the model people all built prototypes. The space dock had four or five small prototypes. The Bird of Prey, I think, had only two because we all knew this one design would work and we were selling that one. The Merchant Man and the Grissom also had several designs. When Leonard and Harve and Ralph Winter came to meetings we presented them with three dimensional models. It really is a lot better doing it that way because they can physically see how different angles would work."(American Cinematographer, August/September 1984, p. 62)
The Valiant study model
One of the study models Ralston referred to was labeled as the Valiant, and was featured in the 2002 documentary, "Space Docks and Birds of Prey", disc 2 from the Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (Special Edition) DVD, already very close to the final design.
|The Valiant study model
Photo documents reportedly taken around the time of the filming of Star Trek Generations of this Oberth-class model has led to some speculation that it was this model that was used in the evacuation scene of Veridian III. However, screencap analysis shows that the lay-out of the impulse deflector crystals as well as the lay-out of the impulse engine exhausts/transporter emitters on the nacelle deck does not correspond with the lay-out as shown on the study model. It is also highly unlikely that a study model was outfitted with an internal lighting system. It can therefore be surmised that it was in fact the original physical studio model, still wearing the USS Pegasus decals.
Physical studio model
The original studio model for the Oberth-class, built at ILM by Gawley's team, measured an overall length of 28 inches. The model first appeared in Star Trek III as the USS Grissom (NCC-638), and was subsequently relabeled to represent other vessels of the class. The first time the model was relabeled was for Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home as the USS Copernicus (NCC-640) as recalled by ILM's Model Shop Supervisor Jeff Mann, who has stated, "We had an incident in the beginning of the film, where we needed a Reliant-class [sic.], so we put a new paint job on the old Reliant model, changed a small shuttle [sic.] called the Grissom to the Copernicus and we added a back half to the shuttlecraft that Scotty flew around in Star Trek: The Motion Picture." (The Making of the Trek Films, 3rd ed., p. 68)
Neither name or registry was ever discernible on screen, but were carried over to its next use as the SS Tsiolkovsky, when it was filmed at Image G for the Star Trek: The Next Generation's first season episode "The Naked Now". The fourth movie's registry still being there was later confirmed, when TNG-Remastered was released in 2012.
Michael Okuda revealed on that occasion, "I seem to recall that Grissom may have been relabeled to serve as another ship (the Copernicus?) in Star Trek III or IV. I didn't try to relabel the model for "The Naked Now", partly because we realized that the existing registry would not be legible in standard-def video, but also because we were all so insanely busy at the time that no one could take on an additional project that wasn't likely to be seen on the screen." [1] The number was digitally changed to its correct one, (NCC-53911), in the first full side view establishing shot. Unfortunately, the digital artist overlooked the previous scenes and the later scene when the stellar core fragment smashes into the Tsiolkovsky, as it there still carries the original, now discernible, registry number.
Subsequently, for the television franchise, the model was relabeled trice, usually done at the art department by Okuda and later on by Doug Drexler as well, first as the USS Cochrane (NCC-59318), (stock footage of which later on used as the USS Biko), a second time as the USS Yosemite (NCC-19002). At that occasion neither name or registry was ever discernible on screen, however they could be discerned on the cover of April 1993's Cinefantastique magazine, which was devoted to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. The cover artist, David Voight, incorporating the registry number, had an actual behind-the-scenes photograph of the studio model, dressed as the Yosemite, at his disposal as reference.
The model was relabeled for a last time for TNG: "The Pegasus" as the USS Pegasus (NCC-53847) [2], with subsequent appearances shot in such a way that the decals could not be discerned. Very little further modification, save for some paint touch-ups (possibly to repair some minor damage after Jein took molds from it) was ever performed on the model besides relabeling. The last appearance of the model was in the Veridian III evacuation scene in Star Trek Generations. The model, still labeled as the USS Pegasus, was auctioned off as Lot #706 on 7 October 2006, being part of the 40 Years of Star Trek: The Collection auction. The estimated price for the model was $4,000 – $6,000; it sold for $18,000 ($21,600 with premium). The model was added to the collection of ScienceFictionArchives.com, an European organization that is dedicated to preserve science fiction production assets for public display purposes, such as in museums.
The SS Vico model
A second physical model was later created at Gregory Jein Inc. for TNG: "Hero Worship" to depict the severely damaged SS Vico. At the time considered too valuable to cut up the original ILM model for showcasing the damaged Vico, Jein took molds from the model and from them cast the parts to construct a new model. Co-worker Bruce MacRae helped out with detail construction and painting.[3] Jein later gave away the molds to John Eaves who actually used them to cast a solid resin model and had it gold-plated.[4] It, along with other starship models, was intended for use as a display piece in the glass cabinets in the observation lounge of the USS Enterprise-E in Star Trek Nemesis. However that fell through as Eaves delivered the models too late for use.[5] The Vico model itself, having escaped the 40 Years of Star Trek: The Collection and It's A Wrap! sale and auctions, is still in the possession of Paramount Pictures and has been on tour displays such as Star Trek World Tour, Star Trek: The Adventure and Star Trek The Exhibition as late as 2011.
CGI model
The last appearance of the Oberth-class was in Star Trek: First Contact in the Battle of Sector 001 scene. With the exception of the Borg cube, Borg sphere, the unnamed Nebula-class starship and the USS Enterprise-E all other ships were done as CGI models, including the at least three Oberth-class starships. Never meant to be seen up close but rather as deep background elements, the model was built at ILM by modelers Larry Tan and Paul Theren, using Electric Image software for animation and Form-Z software for the model [6], at a fairly low resolution and at a low detail level. Noteworthy was that this was the first and only time that viewers could see an Oberth-class vessel discharge it weapons. Established as an older design, the model was never used again nor was its CGI-counterpart upgraded for later appearances and the class, with the exception of the use of the physical model for DS9: "Emissary", has not been seen (though referenced to) in either Star Trek: Deep Space Nine or Star Trek: Voyager.

Little is known about the Knight Brotherhood; although the organization spans nearly every continent of the globe, its methods and true purpose have been kept a closely guarded secret for centuries.
Whenever the knights appear, rumors flow in their wake. Some speculate that without the knights watching over mankind, an evil darkness would envelope the whole of human society.
Rumors escalated when Rathbone began acting on his own accord, sometimes in conflict with his former knight allies. No one is certain whether Rathbone was ejected or if he left by his own free will, but a dark air seems to follow wherever he goes, and superstitious villagers have linked his appearance to locust infestations.
Characters (click card to see back)
Knight Wei-shan, of the Easterly Wind
While relatively weak in direct combat, Wei-Shan specializes in healing allies and weakening foes.
Strengths: Healing, curing debuffs, lowering enemy power
Vulnerabilities: Direct combat at either range
Editions Owned
Knight Bestor, of the Western Flame
After a great warrior noticed Bestor snacking on flaming s'mores as a child, he was trained to master the burning arts.
Strengths: Healed by fire (including his own), close-range combat
Vulnerabilities: Dark magic, long-range combat
Editions Owned
Knight Gunbjorn, of the Frozen North
"The frost -- sometimes, it makes the blade stick." Gunbjorn is a master of brute strength and slowing his opponents with ice.
Strengths: Slowing, hindering enemy mobility and actions, close-range combat
Vulnerabilities: Dark magic, long-range combat
Editions Owned
Knight Oxbox, of the Southern Rocks
A master of earth, Oxbox blinds his opponents while keeping them close and smashing them with his hammer.
Strengths: Close-range combat, limiting enemy mobility
Vulnerabilities: Dark magic
Editions Owned
Fallen Knight Rathbone, the Betrayer
Regarding his foes with complete disdain and his allies as mere pawns, Rathbone crushes all who stand in his way -- or anyone who stands anywhere, really.
Strengths: Deadly against benched characters, high damage overall
Vulnerabilities: Light magic, has low health, some attacks damage teammates
Editions Owned
Knight's Emblem
Characters like Vanessa Voss, Amaya, Zina, and Rathbone (even on your team!) can make being out of play less than perfectly safe without a Knight's Emblem.
Editions Owned
Hero's Flagon
Perhaps most effective when used with Oxbox -- switch him in and out to maximize his earthquake innate, and pick up some healing along the way.
Editions Owned
Ring of Bravery
Hate switching out, or using your precious energy for changing ranges? Do you prefer to instead unleash constant direct attacks? The Ring of Bravery is for you!
Editions Owned
Bracers of Righteousness
Particularly effective when facing off against witches and vampires, who rely heavily on dark magic attacks.
Editions Owned
Elemental Prism
Due to their respective number of light magic attacks, the Elemental Prism is most effective on Bestor and least effective on Rathbone.

Fordham Schools of Business Panel Focuses on Healthcare Overhaul
Contact: Patrick Verel

The sprawling, ungainly beast that is the U.S. healthcare system was the subject of a daylong roundtable discussion held at Fordham's Lincoln Center campus on May 2.
"Determining the Value of Healthcare—A Multi-Stakeholder Perspective," brought together experts in medicine, public policy, and business who are working to improve the nation's healthcare system for both providers and patients alike.
In attendence were doctors and representatives from New York Presbyterian and Beth Israel hospitals, the fields of insurance, academia, medical device manufacturing, entrepreneurs, and information technology.
Presented by the
Global Healthcare Innovation Management Center
's EmblemHealth's Value Initiative, the round table addressed three areas related to health outcome measurement and evaluations:
—Patient centered measurement of health outcomes;
—The overall value of evidence-based healthcare;
— Assessing the potential value of new health innovations.
Falguni Sen, Ph.D., director of the Global Healthcare Innovation Management Center, advocated looking beyond the notion of efficient and effective healthcare and embracing "the value of good health" even though the problem of measuring it would be difficult.

"The notion of good health varies from country to country, from sub community to sub community within the country, and its complexities from lifestyle and other socioeconomic factors get very difficult to capture," he said.
"This is the objective we would like to work towards over the next few years."
In his keynote address "State of Healthcare Reform," Stuart Altman, Ph.D., professor of National Health Policy at Brandeis University, laid out the challenges that lie ahead, as the Affordable Care Act, widely known as "Obamacare," goes into effect in 2014.
Because the law lies somewhere between a government-run single-payer system nor a privately-run voucher system, Altman said it's not surprising that problems have arisen.
"In order to make it work, you've got to make it mandatory. If you're going to make it mandatory, you have to make it fair. If you're going to make it fair, it gets expensive," he said. "And finally, if it's really expensive, it requires government. There's just no way around it."
What is surprising though, two years after it's passage polls show that only 42 percent of Americans think it will benefit the country. Some of that can be attributed to the fact that 85 percent of Americans will be largely unaffected by it because they already have some form of health insurance, he said.
One area that will require future attention is Medicaid. The U.S. Supreme Court allowed states to opt out of the expansion of Medicaid, even though, Altman noted, 50 percent of Americans who would be gaining insurance would be getting it from that program.
"We are not going to have universal coverage even if this works perfectly, because there are people that are going to fall through the cracks big time in some states," he said.
Altman said that healthcare spending is expected to only grow by about $90 billion, or 2 percent of what the nation currently spends by 2019, and will reach 20 percent of our gross domestic product (GDP) by then.
The problem with attacking rising health care costs, he noted, is that all major health care groups would have opposed Obamacare if they were simultaneously tasked with providing universal coverage.
"It's easy to dismiss it, but politically it is dynamite. So what the Obama people did was the same thing we did in Massachusetts, which is to say 'Let's deal with coverage first, and then let's deal with health care second,'" he said.
"Cost containment, ultimately, is very important, but I think the government was right in not trying [to reduce spending] directly at that time, or we would have passed nothing," he said.
Founded in 1841, Fordham is the Jesuit University of New York, offering exceptional education distinguished by the Jesuit tradition to more than 15,100 students in its four undergraduate colleges and its six graduate and professional schools. It has residential campuses in the Bronx and Manhattan, a campus in West Harrison, N.Y., the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station in Armonk, N.Y., and the London Centre at Heythrop College, University of London, in the United Kingdom.

While attending BH, Special Service Award recipient Lanny Swisher played football and baseball and even wrestled his junior year. He married Dnyee Schatz in December 1972 and graduated one year later with an art degree and a history minor.
For the next 6 years Swisher lived in North Dakota and managed the family cow-calf and quarter horse operation there while also working the family farm near Groton. In 1989 Swisher, his wife, and two children moved back to Spearfish. For the last 12 years Swisher has volunteered his time at the BHSU equipment room in the Donald E. Young Sports and Fitness Center. Swisher is such a fixture at the Young Center that Tony Silva, athletic trainer for BHSU, thought he was a paid staff person for years before finding out that all of Swisher's hard work was done on a volunteer basis.
Everyone who wrote to nominate Swisher said it was more than his help in the equipment room that made him such a valued member for the Young Center staff. They all mentioned the contribution he makes to the lives of everyone who spends time around him through the various BHSU sports' programs.

Most every business begins as a small business. While some stay small in scale and scope, others continually grow and diversify.
No matter how your business may grow or change, one thing remains constant: Your profitability and growth depend on your ability to make sound business decisions.
Our statewide network of Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) provide the professional expertise and guidance that every small business owner needs to flourish in today's competitive and ever-changing business world.
You've got a great concept, but don't know where to start. Our business readiness assessment process helps you take the leap from concept to reality.
Through a referral to one of our strategic partner organizations or to one of our professional training programs, we'll help you develop the plan and walk with you down the path to success.
You have launched your business, the "Open" sign is up, but you've found that things aren't going as you expected.
Maybe customers aren't coming or they're coming too quickly. You need to realign or tweak your business strategies and you need professional assistance to guide you. We can provide the guidance you need during those incredibly important formative years when businesses run the greatest risk of failure.
Maybe you're ready to expand your business and take it to the next level. Maybe your business is growing but you don't know how to manage its demands. In either case, it's time to start working on your business and not just in it.
Through our statewide network of professional business consultants, we can provide the professional guidance you need to make the critical strategic decisions necessary for long-term growth, profitability and success.

Operating through a network of nine statewide regional centers, we offer confidential consulting to help clients identify, understand and overcome the challenges of running a successful business.
SBDC counselors have significant experience in the private sector, including extensive management and financial consulting backgrounds. Many SBDCs also use qualified faculty, students and volunteers to enhance their counseling services.
Highly regarded by clients for their business skills and expertise, our professional business consultants provide relevant, realistic and sound advice you can trust in such areas as:
To qualify for counseling, businesses must be "small" as defined by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Individuals who are considering starting a business are also eligible for counseling.
Clients must sign a "Request for Counseling" form and must agree to participate in surveys designed to measure the effectiveness of the SBDC program. To help maximize the value of the counseling, clients should prepare a draft business plan before meeting with the counselor.
Financial support from our committed funding partners allows us to provide our professional services at no cost to participants. Training programs and specialized projects or services are provided either at no cost or for a nominal fee.
You request services by completing this online form. Then the appropriate regional office will follow-up with you.
We do not administer loan or grant programs. However, our consultants do help small businesses assess funding options and opportunities, identify financing sources, evaluate eligibility, and prepare documentation that lenders require.
In fact, many lenders require their borrowers to work with their local SBDC professional before submitting a loan application.
We have nine main regional SBDC offices and several satellite centers throughout the state, each one serving a specific geographical region. The state office and lead center is located at DEED. Bruce Strong is the state director and DEED contact.

Doing More Together than Alone – The Difference that 1% for the Planet Members Are Making with Carbonfund.org
An approved 1% for the Planet nonprofit partner, Carbonfund.org Foundation is leading the fight against global warming, making it easy and affordable for any individual, business or organization to reduce & offset their climate impact and hasten the transition to a clean energy future.
Since 2007, Carbonfund.org has enjoyed support of almost two dozen 1% for the Planet member businesses. Collectively, these 1% FTP members have neutralized almost 31 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions by donating all or part of their annual 1% donations to this organization. In some cases, these businesses have gone above and beyond their 1% commitment, making additional donations to support energy efficiency, renewable energy, and forestry projects around the world. That 31 million pounds of emissions is equivalent to the amount of carbon dioxide sequestered by 11,500 acres of US forestland each year.
Several of these companies first discovered Carbonfund.org through their 1% FTP membership, and they have benefited from the programs that Carbonfund.org offers to donating businesses.
Here are some key examples of how this partnership has worked to benefit 1% businesses, Carbonfund.org, and most importantly, the Planet!
Moxie Bookkeeping of New York, NY, a full-charge accounting services firm, discovered Carbonfund.org through its 1% for the Planet relationship six years ago and decided to join the CarbonFree® Partner program for small businesses. A portion of Moxie Bookkeeping's 1% FTP pledge funds the annual CarbonFree® Partnership program, and in return, Moxie Bookkeeping enjoys the benefits of the program including use of the CarbonFree® Partner logo, a Partner Page on Carbonfund.org's website, and blogs about Moxie Bookkeeping's sustainability commitments.
"Carbonfund.org was an easy pick for me," explains Ean Murphy, founder of Moxie Bookkeeping. "While living in NYC lets us make the most of public transportation, wind powered energy and recycled office supplies, there is always more we can do to help offset our carbon footprint, and Carbonfund.org has a great reputation. I'm proud to have been a partner for the past seven years."
GoodLight Natural Candles of Ridgway, CO also found Carbonfund.org through its 1% FTP pledge. Owner David Callicott began by joining the CarbonFree® Small Business Partnership program but took the relationship to the next stage by working with Carbonfund.org to calculate its total annual operational carbon footprint, including all office energy usage, business travel and product shipping emissions. GoodLight Natural Candles now makes a larger donation to Carbonfund.org, still within its 1% FTP pledge, to ensure that the company is truly CarbonFree® in all areas of its operations.
With the motto of "Live Give Run," Charm City Run, a Maryland-based athletic shoes retailer with five store locations, an online store, and a running race events organizer, places a high priority on its charitable giving. Involved in almost a million dollars of charitable donations to Maryland-area and national organizations, Charm City Run donates a portion of its 1% FTP pledge to Bethesda, MD-based Carbonfund.org.
"Making a difference has never been this easy," says Tom Mansfield of Charm City Run. "Carbonfund.org encourages individuals and businesses to control what they can. There are basic steps that we should all be following to be as responsible as we can. Carbonfund.org helps to make this possible and they will continue to receive support from us because of this."
Another 1% FTP member, Eagle Wing Tours, recognizes that its whale-watching tours are dependent on healthy oceans and marine life. To mitigate the effects of any tour-related emissions, Eagle Wing Tours undertook a complete analysis of their tour operation's carbon footprint, from office operations through all fuel used by their tour vessels, in order to become the first carbon neutral whale-watching tour operator in Canada. Eagle Wing Tours makes an annual carbon emissions offsetting donation to Carbonfund.org that exceeds their 1% FTP pledge, but the commitment to environmental responsibility is worth the additional costs. This year, Eagle Wing Tours and Co-owner Brett Soberg received two industry awards for its environmental stewardship.
"We are trying to redefine what we think a model wildlife tour company is," explains Brett Soberg, Co-owner and Captain at Eagle Wing Tours. "Spotting that whale is the cherry on top of an already very comprehensive marine experience. What we can do to protect these species by supporting education, conservation and responsible business is where we really count."
Carbonfund.org offers a range of programs to all businesses and encourages 1% for the Planet members to complete a complimentary analysis of their annual carbon footprint. This is part of the educational mission of Carbonfund.org and will help 1% FTP members determine the best ways to neutralize a portion or all of their annual carbon emissions.
The collective efforts of these 1% FTP members are making a measurable difference in supporting carbon emissions reduction and clean air projects around the world, while returning valuable marketing advantages and leadership status in environmental stewardship to the member companies. If assessing, reducing and neutralizing all or a portion of the carbon footprint of your business is an important initiative, contact Carbonfund.org to discuss how your 1% for the Planet pledge can help you achieve your goals.
Moxie Bookkeeping Proves Small Businesses Can Commit to Sustainability
The CarbonFree® Business Partnership program was launched in 2007 with the goal of helping businesses of all sizes – start-ups through global Fortune 1000s – to make a commitment to environmentally-sustainable operations and to keep that commitment for the long haul.
Six years later, we're honoring over 100 small businesses that have been consistent CarbonFree® Business Partners for the past five and six years. One of these businesses is Moxie Bookkeeping of Brooklyn, New York, started in 2004 by Ean Murphy, with the purpose to serve small operations and to make bookkeeping a valuable tool for making smart decisions instead of one more hassle at the end of a long week.
While Moxie Bookkeeping does not sell 'green' products, they've made the conscious decision to provide services in the most environmentally-responsible way possible. This included joining our CarbonFree® Business Partnership program in 2008. Moxie Bookkeeping makes an annual donation to Carbonfund.org in order to support our carbon reduction and clean energy innovation projects around the world. In addition, Moxie Bookkeeping focuses their service on electronic delivery wherever possible, to avoid printed statements and checks. Their office products are purchased through green product providers and recycling is mandatory in their offices.
"I can't run my business without using electricity and natural resources," says Ean Murphy. "I want to make sure I am an active part of the solution." Through her long-term partnership with Carbonfund.org, Ean is able to provide her holistic bookkeeping services in a CarbonFree® work environment.

Set overlooking the great Lake Michigan, this urban metropolis offers a stunning array of multicultural areas and architectural diversity. From old, majestic buildings to skyscrapers, carving out spectacular city views, Chicago has it all.
This is a city with universal appeal and its distinct areas make it easy to find what you're looking for. Famed for its celebrated theatre production namesake – Chicago, the theatre district is jam-packed with the latest shows. The Magnificent Mile is as described if shopping is on your agenda, and the Navy Pier's amusement rides will always entertain. Foodies will continue to flock to the home of the famed deep-dish pizza. And those seeking to balance a city break with some downtime will find a beach to relax on and an outdoor sport to pursue.
Across the Chicago River, immediately due North of the Loop, is a neighbourhood of densely packed galleries, with its requisite arts fairs and gallery walks. Wander around boutiques and speciality shops, including upscale antique stores and furniture dealers. It is a food lover's paradise, with an amazing assortment of dining options to satisfy every palate and budget. After dark, young and hip club-goers descend on River North for its plentiful and vibrant nightlife.
Running the length of Michigan Avenue, from the Chicago River to Lake Shore Drive, the 'Mag Mile' is the heart of the city's shopping district. Here, upscale brand named stores stand alongside historic hotels and landmarks. Such as the Water Tower and Pumping Station – one of the few structures left standing after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. It is an ideal place to stay and shop, and a great base to explore from.
The central business district, nicknamed because of the elevated 'El' train tracks that loop around the city centre. Amid the skyscrapers and office buildings is the city's famed Theatre District comprising the Cadillac Palace Theatre, Ford Centre for the Performing Arts Oriental Theatre, Bank of America Theatre and the Chicago Theatre, whose glittering marquee is one of the city's most recognisable icons.
Aptly named, this is one of Chicago's most affluent neighbourhoods, where new mansions continue to spring up alongside the grand residences built by Chicago's 19th century elite. Once home to hotel-magnate Potter Palmer's castle-like mansion, it now includes the Astor Street Historical District's beautiful brownstones, the architectural riches are boundless. The Rush & Division intersection, a few blocks away, is a vibrant hotspot of trendy bars and nightclubs – the perfect place for people watching and celebrity spotting.
A neighbourhood of luxurious high-rise apartment buildings, internationally renowned restaurants, popular attractions like Navy Pier and the John Hancock Observatory, and the world-famous Magnificent Mile shopping district along Michigan Avenue. Its legendary origins, however, involve a colourful eccentric, George Wellington 'Cap' Streeter, who laid claim to this patch of prime lakefront land around his shipwrecked schooner, and numerous gunfights with police and court battles that led to his eventual eviction.

Video: Slain baby's father forgives killers
Video: Murdered baby's sister lost another brother to violence
BRUNSWICK, GA -- Police have released heartbreaking 911 tapes that came in moments after an infant was shot and killed in the southeast Georgia city of Brunswick.
One caller described the mother of the child screaming in the street.
Another person told the dispatcher that she heard the shot.
At a news conference Friday afternoon, police announced they had arrested 17-year-old Demarquis Elkins and a 14-year-old for the shooting.
The mother of the infant who was killed, Sherry West, had harsh words for the suspects.
"I hate you and I don't forgive you. You killed an innocent human being," said West.
Thursday morning, West said she was walking her 13 month old son Antonio in his stroller when two teenagers approached her demanding money.
She said one of the teens shot her in the leg, then shot and killed her infant.
Katrina Freeman is the aunt of suspect De"Marquise Elkins and insists he was not at the crime scene.
"He didn't do this. I feel horrible for that baby and what happened, but my nephew was with me," said Freeman.
Police say they are still investigating to pinpoint who did the shooting.

In the glorious weather we've been enjoying it makes it all the more unpleasant to face the stark reality that farming is one of the most dangerous professions in Wales.
In the last 10 years there have been 43 deaths on Welsh farms. It's a grim fact and things need to change, and I am committed to doing all I can to make this happen.
The persistently high level of deaths and serious injury on our farms has been a big cause for concern for all those linked to the industry, and so, by us working together we have a very good chance of making sure that every farmer is equipped with the knowledge they need to come home to their families safe and sound after a day's work.
The on-farm Health and Safety Charter for Wales is an agreement between many of the organisations representing the agricultural industries, to work in partnership to change dangerous behaviour and in turn, constantly reduce the number of serious incidents and fatalities on Welsh farms.
These organisations have all pledged commitment to a safer farming industry in Wales, and to promoting best practice in terms of on-farm health and safety procedures.
Those signed up to the charter include CLA Wales, Forestry Commission Wales, The Farm Crisis Network. FUW, Hybu Cig Cymru, Lantra, NFU Cymru, NFU Mutual, the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution (RABI) Wales, Welsh Government and Young Farmers' Clubs (YFC) Cymru.
Our key messages to farmers and others that work on farms, is simply to pause, stop and think about whether you are putting yourself or others in a dangerous and potentially life-threatening situation while you work.
If the answer to this question is yes, you need to find an alternative way of completing that particular task. I understand entirely that as a hard working farmer, your time is of the essence, but nothing is a bigger priority than safeguarding your life.
Health and Safety has to be one of the ultimate considerations for farmers. Many accidents taking place on Welsh farms every year result in huge personal loss to friends and families, and some could be preventable with simple changes in behaviour and attitude.
Not only is the personal pain unbearable in itself, there can often be further consequences including threats to the future viability of the individual farming businesses, leading to yet further devastation.
I urge all farmers again to employ the simple mantra of pause, stop and think in every task, every day. Taking just a few seconds to make sure you're not putting yourself or others in a potentially threatening position can make a lifetime of difference not just to yourself, but to all those who love and depend on you.

Protecting Your Skin From the Sun
Topic Overview
Protecting your skin
Most skin cancer can be prevented. Use the following tips to protect your skin from the sun. You may decrease your chances of developing skin cancer and help prevent wrinkles.
Avoid sun exposure
The best way to prevent a sunburn is to avoid sun exposure.
Stay out of the midday sun (from 10 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon), which is the strongest sunlight. Find shade if you need to be outdoors. You can also calculate how much ultraviolet (UV) exposure you are getting by using the shadow rule: A shadow that is longer than you are means UV exposure is low; a shadow that is shorter than you are means the UV exposure is high.
Other ways to protect yourself from the sun include wearing protective clothing, such as:
- Hats with wide 4 in. (10 cm) brims that cover your neck, ears, eyes, and scalp.
- Sunglasses with UV ray protection, to prevent eye damage that may lead to cataracts.
- Loose-fitting, tightly woven clothing that covers your arms and legs.
- Clothing made with sun protective fabric. These clothes have a special label that tells you how effective they are in protecting your skin from ultraviolet rays.
Preventing sun exposure in children
You should start protecting your child from the sun when he or she is a baby. Because children spend a lot of time outdoors playing, they get most of their lifetime sun exposure in their first 18 years.
- It's safest to keep babies younger than 6 months out of the sun. If you can't keep your baby out of the sun, cover your child's skin with hats and clothing. Protect any bare skin with a small amount of sunscreen.
- Teach
children the ABCs of how to protect their skin from getting sunburned.
- A = Away. Stay away from the sun in the middle of the day (from 10 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon).
- B = Block. Use a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher to protect babies' and children's very sensitive skin.
- C = Cover up. Wear clothing that covers the skin, hats with wide brims, and sunglasses with UV protection. Even children 1 year old should wear sunglasses with UV protection.
- S = Speak out. Teach others to protect their skin from sun damage.
Sunscreen protection
If you can't avoid being in the sun, use a sunscreen to help protect your skin while you are in the sun.
Be sure to read the information on the sunscreen label about its SPF value and how much protection it gives your skin. Follow the directions on the label for applying the sunscreen so it is most effective in protecting your skin from the sun's ultraviolet rays.
Choosing a sunscreen
- Sunscreens come in lotions, gels,
creams, ointments, and sprays. Use a sunscreen that:
- Has a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 or higher.
- Says "broad-spectrum" that protects the skin from ultraviolet A and B (UVA and UVB) rays.
- Use lip balm or cream that has SPF of 15 or higher to protect your lips from getting sunburned or developing cold sores.
- Use a higher SPF at when you are near water, at higher elevations or in tropical climates. Sunscreen effectiveness is affected by the wind, humidity, and altitude.
Some sunscreens say they are water-resistant or waterproof and can protect for about 40 minutes in the sun if a person is doing a water activity.
Applying a sunscreen
- Apply the sunscreen at least 30 minutes before going in the sun.
- Apply sunscreen to all the skin that will be exposed to the sun, including the nose, ears, neck, scalp, and lips. Sunscreen needs to be applied evenly over the skin and in the amount recommended on the label. Most sunscreens are not completely effective because they are not applied correctly. It usually takes about 1 fl oz (30 mL) to cover an adult's body.
- Apply sunscreen every 2 to 3 hours while in the sun and after swimming or sweating a lot. The SPF value decreases if a person sweats heavily or is in water, because water on the skin reduces the amount of protection the sunscreen provides. Wearing a T-shirt while swimming does not protect your skin unless sunscreen has also been applied to your skin under the T-shirt.
Other sunscreen tips
The following tips about sunscreen will help you use it more effectively:
- Older adults should always use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 to protect their very sensitive skin.
- If you have sensitive skin that burns easily, use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15.
- If you have dry skin, use a cream or lotion sunscreen.
- If you have oily skin or you work in dusty or sandy conditions, use a gel, which dries on the skin without leaving a film.
- If your skin is sensitive to skin products or you have had a skin reaction (allergic reaction) to a sunscreen, use a sunscreen that is free of chemicals, para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), preservatives, perfumes, and alcohol.
- If you are going to have high exposure to the sun, consider using a physical sunscreen (sunblock), such as zinc oxide, which will stop all sunlight from reaching the skin.
- If you need to use sunscreen and insect repellent with DEET, do not use a product that combines the two. You can apply sunscreen first and then apply the insect repellent with DEET, but the sunscreen needs to be reapplied every 2 hours.
Do not use tanning booths to get a tan. Artificial tanning devices can cause skin damage and increase the risk of skin cancer.
