Everybody Is a Star
Indiana beat the Miami Heat last night to wrap up their second-round Eastern Conference series. Power forward Jermaine O'Neal, who finished third in the NBA's MVP voting this year, hit only two of 10 shots and had a lone assist and four fouls to go with his 13 rebounds and three blocks. In the previous game, the Pacers were led to victory by role player Alex Foster, who sank nine of 10 shots and grabbed seven offensive rebounds in erupting for 20 points and 16 boards overall.
I mention this because since the Kings whupped the Wolves in convincing fashion on Sunday to force tonight's deciding seventh game, the dominant chatter from columnists, commentators, and radio call-ins has alternated between two poles. On one hand, we have chuckleheads asking What's wrong with Kevin Garnett?; on the other hand, we have hoops geniuses claiming that for the Wolves to triumph, KG will need to step up and do more for the team. Garnett has readily accepted the bait--he's a glutton for assuming responsibility--going so far as to deploy his now-infamous war armament analogy in explaining what he'll bring to tonight's contest.
But the beauty of basketball is that it's a team game in which the premier ballclubs produce synergy at both ends of the court (and without the offensive/defensive platoons of football). Unlike a hockey goalie or a baseball pitcher, one dominant player is not enough to determine a game. Yes, it's true that a star performer rising to the occasion is a vital component in deciding his or her team's ultimate fate. But hardly the sole component.
For all of Kobe's and Shaq's heroics in the Lakers-Spurs series, L.A. doesn't advance without Phil Jackson abandoning the triangle offense in favor of the pick and roll, and changing his team's defensive alignment on Tony Parker. And even then, if Derek Fisher doesn't hit that .4 second Hail Mary in Game Five, it's quite likely the Spurs are in the conference finals.
This is not to say that concerns about Garnett are without merit. The Wolves superstar is posting his usual stellar numbers in the Sacramento series. He leads all playoff performers in rebounds, ranks third in scoring and blocked shots, and is 14th in assists. But those gaudy stats have produced far less synergy for his team than happened during the regular season, when KG was among the league leaders in positive point differential when he was on the court. Looking at the plus/minus totals for the Sacramento series, there is almost no difference between how the Wolves have fared with KG in the game (-10 over 265 minutes) as when he's been on the bench (-1 over 28 minutes). Either Garnett is doing a poor job of enabling his teammates, or his teammates are doing a poor job of being enabled.
In my view, demanding that KG do more gets it exactly backward, since the problem is that he's already trying to do too much. The abysmal play of Michael Olowokandi and the minimal offensive contributions by Ervin Johnson and Mark Madsen mean that Garnett is Minnesota's only reliable scoring threat in the low post during this series. And the back spasms besieging Sam Cassell plus the lack of poise and court savvy by Darrick Martin makes KG the primary way station for offensive ball movement in the team's half-court sets. Thus, Garnett is assuming the responsibilities normally undertaken by the center and the point guard. Simultaneously. Against an opponent who is now intimately familiar with the Wolves' tendencies and wholly dedicated to ensuring Garnett doesn't beat them.
KG's attitude has been vulnerable to this "do everything" mentality during this series. In past playoff appearances, he has been stung by unfair criticism that he did not sufficiently assert himself and "take over" games, barbs that ignored his unique strengths. His game is based on comprehensive versatility rather than one dominant facet, and on his selfless contributions to his teammates. In response, even before the playoffs started this season he was loudly proclaiming that he would rise up and carry his team.
But if anyone is going to be harmed by extra motivation, it's Garnett. As opposed to demi-stars like Cassell and Sprewell, he never paces himself, keeping his motor running at red-zone levels even during the most inconsequential minutes of games. Add to that his outsized sense of responsibility, the higher stakes of the playoffs, and the inability of Kandi, Cassell, and others to deliver on pre-playoff expectations, and it's easy to see why KG has been spinning his wheels when he pushes down the throttle against Sacramento.
The biggest difference between Garnett's regular-season excellence and his relatively ineffectual play against the Kings is the frequency of his turnovers. With 29 miscues in six games, KG has nearly doubled his turnover rate. In Game One, he was surprised by Sacramento's rapid, swarming traps, and turned the ball over six times. Then he adjusted, to the point where from the fourth quarter of Game Two until the overtime of Game Three (both won by the Wolves), he didn't turn the ball over once. In Game Four, his miscues were the result of his aggressiveness going to the hoop: Four of his five turnovers involved two traveling calls and two offensive fouls.
The biggest concern facing the Wolves heading into tonight's contest is the pattern that has been established over the past two games. It was as the onset of Game Five that Cassell's back spasms became readily apparent, forcing more of the scoring and ball-handling role onto Garnett. Since then, 10 of KG's 13 turnovers have been "bad passes" or "lost balls." By contrast, in Games One through Four, just six of Garnett's 16 turnovers were ball-handling errors. What's more, in Games One through Four, only five of KG's 16 turnovers occurred in the first half. In the past two games, 11 of his 13 miscues have been committed before halftime.
Garnett freely admits that he is often too "amped up" at the beginning of games. It takes a while for him to settle down and not needlessly force the flow of play. Combine that hyper-intensity with the added ball-handling responsibilities that fall to him when Cassell is ailing, and you can see what's turned KG into a turnover machine early in the past two games. In Game Five, Spree's stupendous performance overcame this liability, but even another sterling job by Sprewell couldn't rescue Game Six.
Garnett's ability to play intelligently and within himself from the start is a key to tonight's game. But that is much more easily done if Cassell can reassume his role as the offensive ignition. The Wolves have proven they can shut down Sacramento's half-court offense--it's the Kings' transition points off turnovers that kill Minnesota. Over the past four games, Cassell has averaged just 10.8 points while converting merely 36 percent of his shots. If Sammy is healthy, his scoring prowess from the perimeter spreads the Kings' defense and gives KG more room to maneuver in the paint. More significantly, it reduces Garnett's ball handling (and the turnovers).
There is perhaps one extraordinary demand that might be made of Garnett tonight, one at odds with his typical style of play: Go hard, and immediately, to the basket when he gets the ball. In the third quarter of Sunday's Game Six, the Wolves had drawn five fouls against the Kings in the first three minutes, putting them in a position to shoot free throws with each succeeding Sacramento foul over the ensuing 8:55 left in the period. They proceeded to blow that golden opportunity, provoking only three free throws (one as a result of Anthony Peeler's technical foul for bashing KG in the face) the rest of the quarter.
With the now-suspended Peeler missing in action, the Kings are down to six players that have the full confidence of coach Rick Adelman. None of the Kings' big men are capable of consistently stopping Garnett one-on-one near the basket. If he wheels and goes up strong before the double teams arrive, he will occasionally be called for charging and get his shot blocked. More often, he will score and/or absorb the foul that will exploit the Kings' lack of depth.
If Garnett is aggressive in the paint and Cassell is healthy, the Wolves will win this game, guaranteed. Otherwise, the outcome is very much in doubt. Trenton Hassell will have to regain the edge he enjoyed over Peja Stojakovic earlier in the series. Fred Hoiberg and Spree will have to bear more of the ball-handling burden out on the perimeter. The Wolves may be forced to take the huge gamble of having Wally Szczerbiak invite turnovers while he drives in the paint. Spree must do a better job of keeping Mike Bibby in front of him on the pick and roll. And EJ and Mad Dog must prevent Sacramento putbacks and contribute just enough offense to distract the Kings' D a bit away from KG.
Put simply, it's a team game. Wolves fans--and more importantly, Kevin Garnett--need to remember that when the ref blows his whistle to begin play this evening.

Last week's Journal of the American Medical Association included an article, "Prespecified Falsification End Points: Can They Validate True Observational Associations?" that got guest blogger Harold DeMonaco, MS, thinking in a way that might get you thinking. Here is his guest post:
That JAMA article by Prasad and Jena offers a rather unique solution to the vexing problem of false positive associations generated in observational studies. Their solution is to include an implausible hypothesis into the mix, called a falsification endpoint.
The current New Drug Approval (NDA) process is woefully inadequate to identify relatively rare side effects of prescription drugs under review. The reason is fairly simple. There are too few subjects (patients) enrolled in the seminal trials. If an adverse event has an incidence of 1 per 1000 patient years, there is simply no way that it would be picked up on review. Unless of course, the side effect is sufficiently rare (e.g. Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy seen in patients treated with Tysarbi) as to jump up and grab the observer by the throat.
The increasing availability of large electronic medical databases provides a great opportunity for researchers to look for hypothesis generating observations and to identify potential rare side effects. But size does not always provide greater clarity. For example, several observational studies suggested an association between the use of acid reducing proton pump inhibitors and pneumonia. As is noted by the JAMA article authors, there is a biologic underpinning. De-acidification of the stomach allows what a colleague once described as colon-ization with bowel bacteria now residing in the neutralized stomach. Aspiration due to reflux disease would seem to be a plausible etiology for the apparent increase in the incidence of pneumonia. Subsequent studies however failed to demonstrate an increased risk.
Prasad and Jena offer an out of the box solution. In addition to testing the desired association, test one or more that cannot possibly be true. Introducing impossible associations into the statistical analysis reduces the likelihood of false positive results.
They also suggest that the coincident analysis of know side effects seen with a drug further validates study results.
The coincident search for either plausible association (e.g., rash with an antibiotic, bleeding with an antiplatelet drug) or a truly implausible association (e.g., monocular blindness with penicillin) provides additional insight into the validity of the sought after association. Or, in laymans terms, If you want to look for an association between a drug and a side effect in a population, also look for a side effect that is totally unlikely or one that has been demonstrated previously. It will be interesting to see if this approach gains any traction in the medical literature.

Excuse me propulsid an antacid caused cardiac deaths
I would agree at least in part. Propulsid (AKA cisapride) is a gastroprokinetic agent that increased tone of the gastroesophageal junction (thus reducing the risk of acid reflux) and increased gastric motility. It is not a PPI nor is it an antacid. It was withdrawn from the market when it was recognized that there was an increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias (Torsades de Pointes) and death especially when used in combination with drugs that altered a metabolizing enzyme (cytochrome P450 3a4) such as erythromycin, clarithromycin, certain antifungal drugs and anti-HIV drugs.

remote starter on manual
how dose a remote starter work for a manual trans? is it possible??
It is possible, but its a major pain in the butt... A lot of shops won't do it, and the ones that will charge a lot of money. The ones that do it correctly, put a sensor that will only let it work when the parking break is set, and the transmission is in neutral.
I dont think its a good idea. If you leave the car in gear by mistake the car could take off while you eat your cheerios.
Its more money because there is more work. There has to be a sensor on the e-brake.. It is safe if done correctly
Usually it goes like this
1. car running
2.in nuetral
3. set e-brake
4. get out and lock car
5. shut off car with remote start remote
THEN the car will restart with the remote AS LONG AS you don't open a car door. That is the ONLY way you can be sure the car is still in nuetral otherwise the car could start in gear.
Seen a civic go into a dumpster that way once LOL
there is no added sensor for the ebrake they just tap into the the factory one. installing a remote start on a MTX vs ATX is usually just 2 wires. one goes to the clutch other to the ebrake. ATX these are just grounded or not used depending on the remote starter.
Viney266 gave you how the user activates the remote start. if a door is opened, truck, hood, ebrake looses continuity, or applied brakes will cause no start if it happens when it applies power to ACC. an other sensor can also be wired in to de activate the remote start.
this site is also very useful if your planning on doing it yourself.

One of my dreams that I dream of right about this time every year is to spend some of my tax refund check on one of the well known Ski holidays in Whistler, in the wonderful country of Canada. I have never been to Canada, but I have snow skied around numerous other area's through out my life time. My parents got me into snow skiing when I was still in elementary school and I have been an avid skier every since.
It would be cool to get a small group of people together and purchase discount Whistler lift passes online, because they do offer some very cool offers on their website. I know because I go there every now and then and drool over the ski accommodation in Whistler packages that I am just itching to get my hands on each year.
I guess it's not too late to ask around and see if I can gather a couple of people up who might not have spent their tax refund all ready and see if I can interest them in a field trip up north. We still have time before the spring and summer months hit us and bring along with them the horrible heat wave that I am just sure we are going to experience this summer since we have had such a mild winter this year. We always pay in the end, some how, some time, some place, some how.

"IMAGE OVERDOSE" Top 5 Page for this destination Kyrenia District by erendilight
Kyrenia District Travel Guide: 240 reviews and 660 photos
Situated on the north coast of Cyprus, Kyrenia, with its 6,000 year long history, unique remains of countless civilisations, miles of natural beaches, calm sea, and mild climate is an idyllic Mediterranean town.
Bounded to the north by the sea and to the south by the greenery of the Besparmak (Fivefinger) Mountain range, it offers the most magnificent scenery on the island...
Its charming and tiny harbour, full of yachts and fishing boats, is framed by the colossal hulk of its Crusader castle.
Kyrenia is an easy place to while away any time of the day... exploring shops, markets and local cafés in late morning, strolling in the narrow cobbled alleys behind the harbour in the afternoon, or stepping out for a brisk walk along the promenade and sea wall in the evening.
Overlooking the entrance to the harbour is Kyrenia Castle. Dating from the time of the Byzantines, its massive defences surround a complex mixture of building styles from centuries before and it is likely that there was a Roman fort here originally. Subsequently enlarged and strengthened by the Lusignans and then the Venetians, the castle is now home to many historical artifacts and is the current resting-place of the world's oldest shipwreck..
The beautiful harbour is dominated by a majestic castle which houses a museum containing the remains of an ancient ship which was salvaged from the sea. There are several mosques and churches to see in the town, and the Museum of Folk Arts, and the Museum of Decorative Arts and Painting are well worth a visit.
Forsa, 40 years old sand ship is also a must to see... and to meet Adnan Captain and his crew:)
you will get lost in narrow Kyrenia Streets and find yourself in a different span of time and energy... the cosmic wave is different in Kyrenia Streets..
- Pros:smiling&very relaxed people, relaxing scenery, beaches, night life, gorgeous mornings
- Cons:humidity, hot weather

I went to the Gazan last week. A lovely interior to the restaurant is marred by some poor quality food, hopeless service and then learning there is a 5% surcharge for paying by card. Get your act together!!! This could be a very good eating place.
Lovely photos and helpful tips. I'm thinking of going to Kyrenia for a week over Christmas.
Lusignan`s owner ( Jem ) nice guy but will bore you to death with his rants on sustainable tourism. Kybelle has lovely setting but dull food.
Nice tips, looks an interesting place to go :-)
Excellent tips, but seriously now - how can you expect your love to be romantic, if the plate they serve the food in looks like a clown's head?

I do not think I post my exact trip plans trip plans until back because knowing me they will change like crazy.
I am just looking for tips on what I am missing or do not need in this list of stuff I'm bringing already. This is only a days gathering of stuff so I know I forgot something.

Oklahoma football: Bob Stoops says there have been 'no setbacks' for defensive tackle Jordan Phillips
NORMAN — Defensive tackle Jordan Phillips was having a breakout season through four games in 2013 before a serious back injury forced him to miss the rest of the year.
He was granted a medical hardship waiver by the Big 12 Conference to get back that year, so he's still considered a redshirt sophomore despite this being his fourth year on campus.
Although he's medically cleared to practice, OU coaches took it easy with Phillips throughout fall camp. On days when the Sooners practiced twice, Phillips would sit out one of those sessions.
After Monday afternoon's practice, coach Bob Stoops said Phillips is progressing well.
"We haven't had any setbacks," Stoops said. "He got maybe three series in different ways in the scrimmage and we pulled him out.
"Coach (Jerry) Montgomery has managed him well in the number of snaps he's getting and getting him ready to play. He's strong and powerful. You can tell he is getting his feel back."

I am six weeks pregnant with no symptoms, is this normal?
I have had a blood pregnancy test that came back positive. I am six weeks pregnant (starting from the first day of my last period) and have had no noticeable symptoms. I don't have my first Dr.'s appt until I'm 10 weeks. The only thing I have noticed is peeing alot (but that's b/c I have been trying to drink lots of water) and I wake up every morning with this nervous/anxious feeling. I also haven't had much of an appetite. I'm really worried that I am not really pregnant b/c I haven't had symptoms yet. I feel like I'm driving myself crazy worrying about it. Is there anyone else out there like me??

I have an appointment with my OBGYN on the 6th of Dec for complications with my birth control.He told me there is a chance that I am pregnant, fr the factor my last pregnancy I was showing all same signs as I am now. I've gained weight (which I normally don't so easily.) Mood swings and peeing more often. Also having heat flashes every other hour if not every half hour. Which is what I had in my last pregnancy. I sadly lost the baby at 10 weeks and Praying that I am now. My boyfriend doesn't know there is a chance that we are pregnant. The doctor appointment on the 6th is just for the heat flashes as far as he knows. If I am pregnant I currently will be 5 weeks roughly. I have tender breasts once a week at most twice. Sleeping more and peeing more. Food doesn't sound good to me till 11pm or midnight. I have notice a change in the size of my breast and so has my boyfriend but he has no idea what to expect for pregnancy for this would be his first. I'm glad I found this link.posted 11/18/2011 by a BabyCenter Member

I have to confess, I didn't even realise there was a town here. Then again, I knew little except there was a gorge by the name and it was only the night before when I looked up the map to see how I could get there from Braidwood.
So, when I went through the village I blinked and missed it. That's about how large it is.
The gorge though, is another matter.

Beautiful country.

Outstanding location and great sceneries. Fantastic pictures of cobwebs!
Another place I'll have to check out one day :) Great pics.
Fantastic photos, Ian. I think the ones of the spider webs are especially creative. What a wonderful, natural location. I would be very afraid to do the "red" trail, especially if you were the only ones there.

For some people, an MS diagnosis is a devastating, world-shaking event. For others, it's a relief to know what's behind mysterious symptoms. Here's how to cope.
A multiple sclerosis diagnosis changes life as you know it. For some, the news is devastating, but there's hope. You can live and thrive with multiple sclerosis (MS).
It's important to find ways to cope with the diagnosis. Researchers found that when people with MS are proactive about taking care of themselves, they're better able to manage their condition, living with MS rather than being defined by it, according to a small Canadian study. So even though an MS diagnosis isn't something you'd break out the champagne for, coming to a place of peace and acceptance is the starting point for living the life you want for yourself.
Jamie Wilder: When MS Suddenly Gets in the Way
Texan Jamie Wilder write the blog My Own MS Journey, is frank about her journey. "Initially, it's devastating because you don't know what to expect," she says. "I'm a planner – I like to have everything every planned out – so that was doubly devastating for me because there are so many unanswered questions. There's definitely a depressing downside."
Even though Wilder, a medical transcriptionist, was formally diagnosed just years ago, she says she can look back and see signs of MS throughout the past 16 years. Since she had none of the dramatic symptoms, such as the vision problems that trigger a diagnosis for some people, she attributed the fatigue and occasional tingling fingers as just part of a busy life. "I had more subtle things that could be written off as anything," she says.
But when she began to have stronger symptoms, such as episodes of unexplained skin pain and the time her right leg just stopped working, she saw a doctor for an assessment, which led to her MS diagnosis.
Wilder's approach to her MS diagnosis was to reach out and connect with others. Because she lives in a relatively rural location with few community resources for people living with MS, she started a blog, hoping to find people who were having similar experiences.
Wilder looks to the positives and especially to the inspirational people she has met through her blog and her exposure to the MS community. "You will see people going on with their lives," she says. "MS is not a death sentence."
Courtney Carver: A Simpler Life After Diagnosis
Utah resident Courtney Carver, 43, was diagnosed with MS in 2006 – ironically, while she was training for the MS 150, a fund-raising cycling event based in Salt Lake City. She signed up to ride in support of her boss, who uses a wheelchair because of his MS.
Persistent vertigo and fatigue at that time led her to the doctor and an MS diagnosis. She recalls the diagnosis as "traumatic," because, despite knowing someone with MS for years, she didn't really know much about the disease or how it would affect her. "I knew enough to be scared," she says.
Instead of giving into that fear, though, she tackled her future with the same discipline and attention she had focused on training for the MS 150, a ride that she was not able to go on because of an MS exacerbation. She decided to simplify her life, focusing on her health and well-being and the things that really mattered.
"Everything about my life has changed since my diagnosis," she says. However, "what I thought would be a really negative thing in my life turned out to be an enormous blessing." Carver became a vegetarian and gave up dairy, paid off all her debt except her mortgage, became a self-professed "yoga junkie," quit her job to build a business she loves, and gave away a lot of material items that she no longer needed.
"I am happier and healthier than I was before my diagnosis," she says. "I live more fully and embrace uncertainty and change because I can clearly see that there is often something better on the other side." And, she finally went on an MS fund-raising ride with her sister-in-law's team. They rode 62 miles around Martha's Vineyard, raising thousands of dollars for MS research, she says.
Coping With Your Diagnosis
Here are some tips from neurologist Omar Khan, MD, a neurology professor at Wayne State University, on navigating the aftermath of an MS diagnosis:
- Make sure you have the right diagnosis. "Whenever there is any doubt, it is advisable to get a second opinion from an established tertiary center, typically a large academic center," Dr. Khan says.
- Talk to a counselor. Khan acknowledges that there is still a stigma attached to getting counseling, but he says that you can benefit from having a confidential place to talk about everything you're feeling. This is particularly true for people who tend to be anxious or depressed or who don't feel like they have much support at home or in their community.
- Find others on the same journey. Just as Wilder turned to the Internet to try to find others with MS, especially others with positive stories, support groups can be helpful, Khan says. If possible, join a group with people who are at a similar stage in their disease process. Newly diagnosed people, for instance, might not benefit from a support group for people who have had MS for decades.
- Counter fears with fact. People who have known someone with MS or just heard about it often have misconceptions about their risk of becoming crippled. This is because people had few options in the past. Now, however, a number of effective medications approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) can help slow the course of the disease. Early treatment seems to delay relapses and disease progression, which means you may be able to stave off disability much longer.
- Focus on your strengths. Don't let MS become the central focus of who you are and what you do. Instead, focus on what you do well and invest in maintaining or expanding those areas of your life.
- Make necessary changes. An MS diagnosis, like any serious health condition, can be a wake-up call. You might find that there are areas of your life – your stale job, a cluttered home, old relationships – that you want to change so that you are better able to focus your energies on your strengths and passions.

The group, comprising around 30 people, will be tasked with curbing the influence of Russia and other states on media and social networks in the Czech Republic.

Zeman testifies in court case involving ex-lawyer for Social Democrats

However, Mr. Zeman testified on Tuesday that the Social Democrats' only partner in the matter was lawyer Zdeněk Altner.

Deskercise: The Art of Desk Exercises to Practice While You Work
On this rainy, dreary Thursday, we'll be cooped up inside our office without the urge to step out for a break, and when we get home, we won't want to leave our beds from the weather. Eventually, the feeling of being stationary might give you a nagging feeling of needing to go to the gym.
So if you're like us and want to leave the confines of indoors, you can have a great substitute to the gym right there at your desks.These exercises – or better called, deskercises, will help you feel active while only moving in place.

Re: Douglass in E TN
C. McDaniel 10/05/02
To read the proofs for the following descendencys read my postings this forum:
All of the ones relating to Jonathan Douglass (of Knox Co, TN) Greene Co, MO and Monroe Co, TN estate settlements and all of Dr. James Douglass' estate settlements.There was a two page letter by his widow naming all of his heirs.Further tying them together however was a suit brought against the heirs in Lawrence Co, MO by Samuel Stephens in 1874 naming Nancy C. Douglass.......(and James Douglass' heirs, he died without issue). These records tie the Douglass families of Jonathan Douglass, Second together.I have much more about them. The given names with "?" by them are heirs of Dr. James Douglass but they may not be with the correct parents.The Murray children also used Hensley.I believe them to be the children of Jane Long Douglass (Cherokee) and James Murray (and grandchildren of Nancy Caroline (Glass) m1 Thomas Douglass, m2 his brother James S. Douglass.

How to Access Working Capital for Exports and Become a Global Player
International expansion is a great way to grow as the U.S. economy slowly recovers, and the population and per capita gross domestic product of countries such as India and China continue to rise. But finding funding for exports can be difficult, unless you leverage a government-backed program.
"Why turn away sales when you can get working capital assistance through government programs to penetrate red hot foreign markets?" says Alfred Ho, vice president and enhanced credit specialist at California Bank & Trust.
Smart Business spoke with Ho about the benefits of leveraging guaranteed export financing.
What is the working capital guarantee program?
U.S. manufacturers were struggling to compete overseas, as foreign sales and receivables are generally excluded from traditional lending programs. So, to spur exports and domestic hiring, the federal government offers guaranteed financing programs administered by the Small Business Administration (SBA) and the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank).
The loan proceeds under these programs can be used to purchase supplies and equipment, hire staff or, in the case of the SBA's Export Express program, even attend an overseas trade show. And because the terms are flexible, owners can use the loan proceeds to fulfill a large contract or several small deals.
How do the programs help small businesses?
The programs encourage banks to lend to small businesses by guaranteeing 90 percent of the loan amount and allow loan officers to consider foreign receivables and work-in-progress during the underwriting process.
Plus, if a standby letter of credit is required to support a bid bond, advance payment guarantee or performance bond, the collateral requirement to have one issued is only 25 percent, instead of the 100 percent in traditional cases. This provides an edge for a U.S. company in its quest for overseas contracts.
How much can companies borrow and what does it cost?
The SBA export working capital program permits loans below $5 million. It charges an upfront fee of 0.25 percent of the loan amount and an annual utilization fee of 0.55 percent, which is assessed monthly.
There's no limit to how much you can borrow from Ex-Im Bank, and its upfront fees range from 1 to 1.5 percent of the loan amount. The loan interest rate is based on the prime lending rate plus a spread. Interest rates for larger loans are based on the London Interbank Offered Rate, which is currently hovering around a 52-week low.
What are the eligibility requirements?
Requirements differ among the programs but they all require a firm purchase order prior to advance and, minimally, shipment from a U.S. port to a country acceptable to Ex-Im Bank. Goods and services shipped must have at least 51 percent U.S. contents. Certain products are excluded from the programs. A company must also have a positive net worth and be profitable for the last three years to qualify.
For other qualifications and restrictions, talk to your lender or visit the SBA or Ex-Im Bank websites.
How can business owners find a participating lender?
Your local SBA or Ex-Im representative can provide referrals, but you can look for a Delegated Authority Lender who has the ability to expedite your loan.
Your banker can walk you through the lending process and share helpful ideas. The banker should be able to suggest ways to lower the risk of international commerce.
The important thing is: Don't venture into the international marketplace alone. Find a competent banker to serve as your guide.

Maroon named Player of the Week
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. ... The American Hockey League announced today that Norfolk Admirals left wing Patrick Maroon has been selected as the CCM/AHL Player of the Week for the period ending Mar. 10, 2013.
Maroon returned from a three-week stint in the National Hockey League and posted four goals and two assists in three games for the Admirals.
After being assigned on Tuesday, Maroon rejoined the Admirals lineup on Wednesday night and scored the game-tying goal in the third period as Norfolk gained a standings point with a 3-2 overtime loss vs. Charlotte. On Friday, Maroon had a goal and two assists to spark the Admirals to a 5-1 victory over Hershey. And in Saturday's rematch with the Bears, Maroon's two third-period goals sealed a 4-1 Norfolk win.
Maroon has registered 17 goals and 19 assists for 36 points in 48 games with Norfolk this season, good for second on the team in scoring. He also ranks first on the club in power-play goals (eight), game-winning goals (three, tied) and penalty minutes (113). The 24-year-old native of St. Louis, Mo., is in his fifth pro season and has totaled 109 goals and 155 assists for 264 points in 337 career AHL games with Norfolk, Syracuse and Philadelphia/Adirondack. He has appeared in nine NHL games with the parent Anaheim Ducks this season, scoring his first career NHL goal on Feb. 16 at Nashville.
In recognition of his achievement, Maroon will be presented with an etched crystal award prior to an upcoming Admirals home game.

Vt. gets federal aid for flood damageJuly 27,2013The U.S. Department of Transportation is providing Vermont $1 million to help the state pay to repair damage from a series of unprecedented spring and summer floods that damaged roads across the state.
The Federal Highway Administrations Emergency Relief Program provides funds for the repair or reconstruction of some federal roads and bridges damaged by natural disasters or catastrophic events.
The three members of Vermonts congressional delegation praised the decision.
This is a much-needed infusion of federal funds to help towns throughout Vermont repair roads washed out by several storms this year, said a statement by U.S. Sens. Patrick Leahy and Bernard Sanders and U.S. Rep. Peter Welch.
A presidential disaster declaration already has been issued for flooding in Chittenden, Washington and Essex counties between May 22 and May 26. The declaration means the state will be entitled to federal help recovering from those events.
State officials are hoping another declaration will be issued for more recent flooding.
The storms began in May and lasted until early July. There were about 30 separate road segments closed by storm damage.
Significant damage was reported in nine counties.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON For the first time, all the choral students of the Southwest Vermont Supervisory...
