Many children live with the fear that they are the cause of their parents alcoholism or drug use. In fact studies show that 8.3 million children in the United States live with at least one parent who is alcoholic. One in four children under the age of 18 lives in a household where alcoholism is a fact of daily life. Many of these children are at risk for developing mental illness, physical health problems, and/or learning problems. Education and support can help decrease that risk.
EPIC Community Services has joined with the National Association for Children of Alcoholics (NACoA) in acknowledging children in this situation during Children of Alcoholics Week, Feb.10 to 16. The theme is "No Child Unsupported."
EPIC and NACoA hope that this theme will raise awareness that we all share the responsibility for the well-being of children, especially those who struggle with alcohol or drug addiction in their families.
Research shows that many children with alcohol or drug dependant parents can benefit tremendously from adult efforts to help and encourage them. EPIC Community Services offers many services to benefit children and families in this situation, including mentoring programs like Big Brothers Big Sisters, the Counseling Center and education workshops. EPIC also offers educational materials like brochures and pamphlets, on helping children of alcoholics.
For more information on Children of Alcoholics Week 2002 or how you can help call EPIC at (904) 829-2273.
Tips for How You Can Help
Most adults can support children of addiction in three ways.
1. Provide children with age-appropraiate information about alcohol, drugs and the disease of addiction. The most important message that these children need to hear are:
n Alcohol/drug dependency is an illness. It is not your fault that your parents drink too much or use drugs. You are not responsible for correcting this illness.
n You can take care of yourself by talking with a trusted person and making a healthy choice in your own life.
n Treatment for alcoholic/drug dependency is available and can be very effective.
n You are not alone. There are safe people and places that can help you.
2. You can teach children how to identify and express their feelings in healthy ways, especially by seeking out and speaking with "safe" adults or direct them to programs that can help develop coping skills to deepen their innermost strength.
3. You can take the time to develop a healthy adult/child relationship with a child of addiction who needs someone. By offering your time and an open ear, you can provide assurance and validation to counteract much of the mistrust the child has learned over the years. You can provide a positive impact for that child.

The Nationals will attempt to even up the four-game set with the Rockies in the final game of the series Sunday at Coors Field in Denver.
With a win, the Nats would be 4-3 on the nine-game road trip. Two wins in both New York and Denver would be big before a pair in St. Louis to wrap up the trip.
This is another opportunity for the Nats to separate themselves from 2009. But they need to get some early offense against the Rockies today, who have pretty much shut down the Nats since Thursday's season-high 14-run outburst.
The Nats steamrolled the Rockies 14-6 on Thursday. Then Saturday, the Rockies swept a pair from the Nationals 6-2 and 4-3.
The Nationals reportedly designated outfielder Willy Taveras for assignment and recalled infielder/outfielder Mike Morse from Syracuse. Morse was recovering from a calf strain.
The Nationals have hit at least one home run in the past 12 consecutive games which is a current Major League-leading streak.
Ryan Zimmerman has been scorching the ball in the series so far in Denver. Zimmerman has gone 8 for 13 with two homers, four runs and seven RBI.
Adam Dunn hit homers in both games Saturday and now has three dingers in his last five games.
Left-hander Scott Olsen (2-1, 3.51) takes on another southpaw in Jeff Francis. Olsen has been outstanding recently for the Nats and would love to bounce back against the Rockies, after suffering his shortest outing against them a few weeks ago at Nats Park.
In his last start, he was very good again. Olsen went 5 and 1/3 innings against the Mets, scattering nine hits, two runs, one walk and two strikeouts on 82 pitches, 55 for strikes. He was visibly upset after being pulled in that game. Maybe he knew something. The Nats led 6-1 when he left. The Mets came back to win the game 8-6.
Olsen's best game was May 6 when he came within five outs of a no-hitter against the Braves. Olsen allowed just one earned run over 7 and 1/3 innings with just two hits, one walk and 8 strikeouts in 97 pitches, 65 for strikes.
Francis will be making his 2010 debut for the Rockies. He has been dealing with soreness in his pitching shoulder since spring training. Francis missed the entire 2009 season after injury on that same shoulder. It is his first regular season appearance since September 12, 2008.
The Nats have not had a .500 or better record against the Rockies for a season series since 2005 (4-2). From 2006 through 2009, Colorado led the series 22-6.
The Nationals head to St. Louis after the game for two against the Cardinals before returning home Wednesday night against the N.Y. Mets.

Yemeni officials say government troops killed seven suspected al-Qaida militants in the country's restive south Sunday.
The officials said the seven were killed in the town of Loder in southern Abyan province, where 11 soldiers and seven other suspected al-Qaida militants died in clashes Thursday and Friday.
On Saturday, the government urged security forces in six provinces to tighten security measures. It also called for increased vigilance and said a massive manhunt was under way for suspects linked to the violence.
South Yemen is feared to have become a base for al-Qaida's local branch, Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula.
Earlier this month, al-Qaida threatened to target anyone who supports Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh or what it called the "crusader campaign" by the United States.

Spot and future prices of agricultural commodities: fundamentals and speculation
This paper investigates the long-run relationship between spot and futures prices for corn and soybeans, for the period January 2004 -September 2010. We apply cointegration methodology in the presence of potentially unknown structural breaks in the commodities prices and we then study the causality relationships between spot and futures prices within each specific sub-period identified, with the aim to analyze where changes in spot and futures price originate and how they spread. Empirical estimates highlight the following evidence: i) breaks relate to events that have significantly affected the supply and demand of corn and soybeans for food and energy purposes; ii) sub-periods consequently identified express different dynamics in the causal relationship between spot and futures prices and support the idea that many factors contributed to the 2007-2008 food price increase.

A turkey by any other name is an eagle?
It's Thanksgiving weekend - a time to be together with friends and family, eat leftover turkey buns, and think of all the ways in which we are thankful.
Many of you are already aware that Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be our National bird instead of the bald eagle, but do you know how the turkey got its name?
The more I researched this question, the more theories I found. Some explanations pointed to early European explorers who discovered the bird here and brought it back to England where it was mistaken for a tasty bird exported from Turkey to England.
The Turks called it a chulluk, but the English called it the 'Turkey bird" and finally just shortened the name to "turkey." Others say the name came from the sound turkeys make - "turk, turk, turk." Yet another theory is that the name came from an American Indian word for the bird, "firkee." You can take your pick or search for other possible explanations.
In recent years, wild turkeys have become a more common sight in our area. A big part of that is due to a relocation project in which birds that were captured in southern Minnesota were transported up here to be released. Our local DNR and members of the Tall Pine Toms chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation worked together to determine release sites that had the required habitat (preferably wooded river bottoms), food availability, and corridors for moving and expanding.
In recent years there have been three releases in the Park Rapids area, totaling in excess of sixty wild turkeys. Some of our fifth grade students assisted in releasing the birds.
The Tall Pine Toms chapter of the NWTF not only deals with wild turkeys. This month it, along with the Osage Sportsmen's Club, Mantrap Valley Conservation Club and Women's Auxiliary, and the local chapter of Minnesota Deer Hunters donated sixty-two domestic turkeys to the Hubbard County Food Shelf. (See the photo at left).
If Benjamin Franklin would have gotten his way and the turkey would have become our National bird, would we still be eating it on Thanksgiving? Think of all the phrases where we use the word "eagle" and how different they would sound if we used the word "turkey" instead.
For those of you old enough to remember the first lunar landing in 1969, the Apollo crew would have announced to the world, "The turkey has landed." When a golfer scores two under par on a particularly good hole, he would state, "I got a turkey on that hole." My dad had exceptional vision and could pick out details at great distances. We referred to him as "old eagle eye." For some reason, "old turkey eye" just doesn't have the same ring to it. Far be it from me to leave you without something to think about.
Have a great Thanksgiving weekend and find time to get outside to enjoy some of our natural surroundings. Maybe you'll even hear the "turk, turk, turk" of a firkee.

The County Commission used extremely good judgment in not adopting the proposed buffer ordinance.
This proposed legislation was flawed from the beginning. It took courage for commissioners Jim Bryant, Marc Jacalone and John Reardon to stand up for reason and common sense. They listened to all the facts and heard from all the different sectors of our community. They also heard from a groundswell of e-mails, letters and phone calls protesting this bill. Our web site received over 1,094 hits in two weeks against this action.
Balancing the protection of our natural resources and providing the protection of our individual rights is at best a precarious task. However, in this case, discretion was the better avenue to take.
The environmental folks have on a daily basis pounded the commission and staff with their rhetoric. Mistakenly, our commissioners and staff have assumed that this vocal minority was the will of the people. Last Tuesday's meeting was a wake-up call for not only them but also all concerned citizens. You can't force your will on other people without reprisal. The show of force on behalf of all of our property rights and the rights of the little guy was a watershed event. Enough is enough! You can buy my land but don't covet it!
Let's put what happened into perspective. We have a tremendous amount of rules, regulations and safeguards that have gone into effect since we adopted the comprehensive land plan in 1990. The county has now gotten up to speed to a certain extent with the recent adoptions and enforcement of the rules on the books. Water quality, water runoff and habitat protection are mandatory parts of the approval process in the development scheme. If you don't believe these safeguards in effect are working, I urge you to apply for a permit to build on a raw piece of property! Better yet, go to the county and ask for the requirements. Then call your attorney, engineer, environmental consultant and the myriad of other specialists that you will be required to hire so that your project (large or small) will be approved.
So, if we have all these safeguards in effect, what more are these environmental groups asking for? Simple. This movement by the left is at best a thin disguise for a no growth movement. Stop growth, keep others out! I got mine, you can't have yours. OK, let's discourage the development community and cost them more money and tie them up so they move slower. Up until recently, they have done just that. This latest push to protract growth was over the edge. They pushed too far. Their bubble has burst. The proper process to control growth is already imbedded in the comprehensive land plan and gives adequate restrictions, such as actual need, concurrency, infrastructure and many other thresholds. That's the proper vehicle to control and limit needless speculative development. It works.
We need to allocate our time and resources to clean up the huge amount of developments that currently are in failure in the county. Anything constructed prior to 1990 is either suspect or of substandard engineering compared to today's existing county and state standards. Ask your county commissioners or staff about these matters and you will find that since we have exceeded 100,000 people in our county we are mandated by several state and federal laws that require us to meet new standards. This is going to cost a substantial amount of money. Either we raise taxes or invite the development community to pay not only their share but also substantially assist our county with these state and federal mandates.
That's where the opportunity comes in. We spent in excess of $150,000 in the studies and staff time. The meetings attended by more than 50 people from both sides of the isle did give us an understanding of the problems. It is unfortunate that the topics of tax relief, voluntary land banking, transferable development rights and basic property rights did not survive and become part of this legislation. Property owner, builder, developer, citizen: None wants to kill the environment or degrade the quality of our community. We just have to take a different road to get there. We don't need buffers; we need cooperation and compassion. Corny but true, we need each other's talents without the venom.

They say that now
But I can't help bet wonder what, once cool, company they will buy, rape, pillage, and destroy next.
Just look at what they have done with/to Sun as a road map to destruction.
Charles Phillips, one of the co-presidents at software giant and unenthusiastic server maker Oracle, reportedly said the company had plans to double its acquisition budget over the next five years to a total of $70bn. But apparently this is not true. Phillips was speaking on Thursday at the Fortune Brainstorm Tech 2010 …
But I can't help bet wonder what, once cool, company they will buy, rape, pillage, and destroy next.
Just look at what they have done with/to Sun as a road map to destruction.
sun was pretty much walking dead already. Going though motions resembling what it did when it was young and cool and everybody bought their stuff, but failing to deliver. With a thick management meddling gravy sauce on top. oracle bought it because it wanted something from sun, but it wasn't the cachet. It might spin off the stuff it doesn't want, or maybe it'll just destroy it. sun did the old botch-up too, on occasion. Remember cobalt?
Our strategy is IBM....we can trust them.
We never bought an Oracle product other than EE but they have bought all of the applications we bought and have increased their % of our budget which huge price hikes with no added value.
We are using IBM to dramatically reduce our Oracle expenses.
The video of Phillips' comments is now live on Fortune.com: http://bit.ly/bfwCQ0
I mean, honestly, it's just not sensible to say "we will spend $Y dollars in the next Z years on acquisitions"... what if there's not $Y worth of good acquisitions?
It's an [alleged] budget - if there is nothing out there, it won't get spent. Simples, I thought.

Based on recent MarineFisheries' commercial fishery sampling, the default sea herring spawning closure will take effect as scheduled. Effective 00:01 hours on Friday, September 21, it shall be unlawful to possess or land sea herring caught from the Massachusetts/New Hampshire Spawning Area (322 CMR 9.00). This closure will last 28 days, through 24:00 hours on Thursday, October 18, unless otherwise notified. The Director may extend the closure beyond October 18 if MarineFisheries' sampling indicates that spawning is ongoing.
Spawning area boundaries begin at the intersection of 43°30' N latitude and the Maine coast, then in a SW direction along the coast to the intersection of 70°00' W longitude with the Cape Cod shoreline, then north along 70°00'W to its intersection with 43°30' N latitude, then along the 43°30N line back to the coast.
Vessels participating in other fisheries may retain an incidental catch of herring that does not exceed more than 2,000 lbs of herring per trip.

This to-die-for lemon bundt cake recipe features luscious lemon butter cake infused with lemon syrup, drizzled with a lemon glaze and topped off with a sprinkling of lemon sugar! A HEAVENLY bundt cake recipe.
In my opinion, bundt cakes are highly underrated… I mean, not only are they insanely easy to make, but the many gorgeous pans make your cake look spectacular all on its own — meaning you can skip the frosting altogether!
From the very simple original bundt cake pan to the more elaborate blossom bundt cake pan (and more!), you'll want to collect them all. I know I do!
For the lemon bundt cake pictured in this post, I used the heritage bundt cake pan I picked up at Walmart for just $21.97, but now I'm eyeing this adorable jubilee bundt cake pan as my next purchase. The only drawback to these more intricate pans is that you have to be even more careful to grease them well, but the tradeoff is worth it for these beautiful designs.
Just about any cake recipe can be adapted to a bundt pan, but if you're searching for a really fabulous recipe to try your pan out, this lemon bundt cake is IT! With its tender crumb, moist texture, and bright, tangy lemon flavor, it's the perfect simple spring cake.
I'll definitely be making it again for Easter dinner! Actually, I'll probably make it again before then, because it's THAT good…
So I know I said that bundt cakes don't really need any adornment — and I stand by that. But I did go a little elaborate with a drizzle of lemon glaze and a sprinkling of lemon sugar on top of this bundt cake. However, you could easily skip them both and still wow your guests. The real star of the show is the luscious lemon bundt cake, which is infused with a bit of lemon syrup after baking.
Right now I bet you're thinking, "Infused with lemon syrup? Come on, Tara — that sounds kind of difficult…" But, really, I promise it's a LOT less time intensive than it sounds, and I think you'll adore the results…
How to Make A Triple Lemon Bundt Cake
If you want to make this cake as pictured, you'll want to prepare the lemon syrup while your lemon bundt cake is baking, and then prepare both the lemon glaze and lemon sugar while the cake is cooling.
All together you'll need four fresh lemons (preferably organic) that you've scrubbed clean, since we'll be zesting them. The zest from three of the lemons will go into the cake batter, and the zest from the remaining lemon will be used in the lemon sugar.
How To Make Lemon Syrup
The lemon syrup is basically just a simple syrup, substituting lemon juice for water. Mix together the juice three fresh lemons (about 1/2 cup) with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the syrup has reduced by half. Allow it to cool.
How To Make Lemon Glaze
Fresh lemon juice adds a bit of tang to a simple glaze made with confectioner's sugar. Mix together 3/4 cup confectioner's sugar and one tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. Slowly add additional lemon juice, about one teaspoon, until the glaze reaches a thick but pourable consistency.
How To Make Lemon Sugar
Mix together the remaining zest of one lemon and about one tablespoon of granulate sugar with a fork. Let it sit for a few minutes to infuse.
As I mentioned, you don't need to do all three (although I highly recommend it!), but if you're pressed for time or just feeling a little lazy, which I totally get, PLEASE just do the lemon syrup. Totally. worth. it.
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cubed + more for pan
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 cups all-purpose flour + more for pan
- 1 cup whole milk
- zest of 3 lemons (reserve zested lemons for syrup)
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice + 1 teaspoon-ish
- 3/4 cup confectioner's sugar
- zest of one lemon
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a bundt-style pan.
- Using a stand mixer or electric mixer, beat the butter, sugar and salt together on high until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl after adding the last egg, to ensure everything is mixed well.
- Add the baking powder and continue to beat on medium. Alternate adding a heaping 1/2 cup of the flour with 1/4 cup of the milk, finishing with the remaining flour. Scrape the sides of the bowl and beat on low to ensure everything is mixed well. Fold in the zest of three lemons.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared bundt pan until 3/4 full, taking care not to create any air pockets. Tap the pan on the countertop a few times, and smooth the top of the batter with a spatula.
- Bake the cake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes, or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the lemon syrup by boiling the lemon juice and sugar over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the syrup has reduced by half. Allow it to cool.
- After the cake is done baking, poke holes in the top of the cake with a skewer or fork, taking care not to hit the bottom of the pan. Slowly pour the cooled lemon syrup over the top.
- Allow the cake to cool for 15 minutes. This is a good time to prepare the lemon glaze and lemon sugar, if desired.
- Place a cooling rack on top of the bundt pan, and flip it over to remove the cake. Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing.
- Mix together the confectioner's sugar and one tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. Slowly add additional lemon juice, about one teaspoon total, until the glaze reaches a thick but pourable consistency.
- Slowly drizzle the lemon glaze over the top of the cooled cake.
- Mix together the remaining zest of one lemon and about one tablespoon of granulate sugar with a fork. Let it sit for a few minutes to infuse.
- Sprinkle over the top of the cake immediately after glazing.
Tips for Baking A Beautiful Bundt Cake
If you want gorgeous, well-formed bundt cakes that slide right out of the pan, follow these tips for preparing and filling your pan, as well as baking and cooling your cake!
Prepare your pan properly. Taking care to prepare the bundt pan well will ensure that your cake release from the pan easily. Grease with butter or shortening, making sure to get into all of the crevices (a pastry brush will help), and then dust with flour or cocoa powder, depending on the type of bundt cake. Alternately, you can spray the bundt cake pan well with a product like Baker's Joy.
Fill the pan to the proper level and without air bubbles. Mixes and recipes can vary, so fill your bundt cake pan to no more than 3/4 of the way full to avoid overflow. Air pockets in your batter can leave holes in your finished cake. Spooning your batter into the pan will help prevent these from forming. Also, tap the pan gently on your countertop after filling to help release any that may have formed, and then use a spatula to even out the surface of the batter.
Bake your cake just until done. Place the filled bundt pan on a rimmed cookie sheet for baking. This helps to ensure that the pan is sitting level, as well as to catch any excess batter should your cake overflow. I recommend using an oven thermometer to calibrate the actual temperature of your oven versus the temperature you've set it to. Over baking can make it difficult to remove your cake from the pan, so start testing your bundt cake for doneness about 8-10 minutes before the time stated in your recipe with a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake. As soon as the toothpick comes out clean, it's time to remove your cake.
Removing your bundt cake from the pan. Remove the bundt cake from the oven to a wire cooling rack and allow it to cool for 15 minutes. After cooling, tap the cake pan on the countertop and shake it gently to help it release. Then place a wire cooling rack on top of the cake pan, and flip the whole thing over. If you prepared your pan well, it should release easily from the pan, and you can now allow your cake to cool thoroughly before glazing.
See, it's really not so hard! I think we should declare bundt cakes the new cupcake… So much less prep and mess, especially when you forgo the glaze or frosting.
I'd love to see your bundt cakes… Tag me @Unsophisticook on Instagram or use the hashtag #Unsophisticook so I can check them out. Enjoy!

Did Burger King Just Spend $622,000 on a Painting?
His name is Damien Hirst, and he is the most prominent and influential member of a brash group of young British artists called the YBAs. The YBAs are most famous for using "shock tactics," wild-living, an attitude "both oppositional and entrepreneurial," and their marked use of throwaway materials.
And when you think throwaway materials, you think fast food.
We're kidding - a little - but we're trying to figure out why Damien Hirst would donate one of his most expensive paintings to Burger King.
Follow Us
Like with most modern art, it goes way over our heads. But the spin art painting titled "Beautiful Naked Psychedelic Gherkin Exploding Tomato Sauce All Over Your Face, Flame Grilled Painting 2003" will remain hanging until the end of the year in a London Burger King - the Leicester Square location, to be exact.
What makes this super crazy? Sotheby's valued this painting at somewhere between $233,000 and $622,000.
Talk about BK value.

Why don't some teachers bother to reply to emails?(74 Posts)
I sent ds1's teacher an email in March - quite a detailed one, about maybe 4 paragraphs about ds having some difficulties with his work, and wondering how it will affect his 11 plus (he is y5)
No response for a few weeks - then 'I will talk to the senco and see what she says'.
This was in April - heard nothing since.
Meeting the other day with HT and class teacher - it was not mentioned, I forgot, they were probably glad I forgot. I emailed that night - asking how she had got on with the senco as I'd forgotten to bring it up at the meeting.
No response. This is over a week ago.
Then yesterday theclub she runs after school was cancelled (apparently this was known last week) and no email or letter was sent out resulting in my being 45 minutes late to collect ds.
School called me after 25 minutes of him sitting in the office
I emailed politely last night asking why they hadn't let it be known the club was cancelled, also why no one had called for so long.
No reply.
I don't understand what I'm meant to do next. They clearly just don't give a sh*t do they?
The e-mail addresses are set up by the county, not the school. So, it's the number of teachers (and TAs and lunchtime supervisors) in the LA with that name!
I have just started work in a primary school, having come from a secondary school and I am completely astonished at how little information is spread through email. I have asked for my email address (as a subject specialist) to be made available to the parents, as I would far rather deal with enquiries via email than try and squeeze in time to see a parent or worse still have to phone them! I don't have a phone in my classroom, so have to use my mobile (I use 141 to block my number) and it's a nightmare.
For example-I need the names of the hymns for Tuesday and Friday assembly. These are run by two different people, I am only part time, they are both senior management and very busy. Which is more time efficient, me emailing them both asking them so they can reply at their leisure or me having to spend time hunting them down at break time or lunchtime to ask them, and they won't know off the top of their head, so will have to email me back anyway!!
Also, it takes 2 minutes to check emails, if you turn the computer on anyway to use your IWB, why wouldn't you just check them quickly then?
In my last job policy was we had to reply within 24 hours, even if it was just an 'I'm looking into this for you' email.
Oh I didn't know that about the LA, Ipad.
I think it's unlikely there is anyone else in the country, tbh, with the same name as it is very unusual.
But still, worth knowing!
What I don't understand though, is, if you had what you presumably considered to be an important concern about your child, you didn't follow it up a few days later with a quick phone call to the office, to ask if they could check if the e-mail you sent to the teacher had actually got through and not been filtered into spam or whatever, as you'd not hear anything back yet. The last day of June seems an awful long time later to be still chasing this query.
Personally, at Primary school my dcs teacher's don't give out their e-mails but if the school is actively encouraging it as being the 'right' way to contact the class teacher, then it needs to be fed back in that it doesn't seem to be working.
You're right - perhaps they do need to know. I hate causing a fuss though. I think she is just unable to answer my question, because she would probably need to do some research in order to do so and frankly she cannot be bothered. (it wouldn't take long and should have been done ages ago - it's to do with dyslexia)
I have checked back, and I was wrong - it was not March but mid April when I emailed her. She replied very briefly 4 days later.
That was the last I heard.
I chased it up on 18th June (so two months later) and she hasn't replied.
The first reply was literally, I will speak to senco and ask her advice.
That was it. I kind of wanted to know what the advice was and how we could implement it...but I think that was a bit hopeful considering our school's horrendous attitude to SN.
I do think that the teacher / school should have paid more attention to your emails - they are coming across as quite rude
I teach Year 5/6, and the 11+ has absolutely nothing to do with me. It is not my concern at all. I would be polite enough to email you back and tell you that though!
It's possible she's passed it onto the SENCO, and the SENCO has done nothing with it, as opposed to the teacher. If you're asking a technical question about dyslexia, then the SENCO is in a far stronger position to answer.
Maybe Juniper, or the SENCO has tried to contact the LA advisory for dyslexia, as they can't really diagnose, and they haven't got back to the school (notorious around here!).
No direct email link to teachers where I work, nor at DD's school.
Have to go via office or HT if emailing or phoning, or speak direct at school itself.
TBH I prefer it that way.
I don't want to be answering parent emails over the weekend when I may be out, or busy with family and friends. I'd rather deal with parent queries in school myself.
Yes, with your last couple of posts, I read it as the teacher having forwarded it to the person she feels most likely to have been able to answer your query (and telling you that). A week or so later, I would have been contacting the SENCo with an "I understand the class teacher was forwarding my query on to you, What have you managed to find out?" type of question, thus mopping up any confusion over who should have, but hasn't, got back to you.
Like Batman though, I'm not sure what the 11+ has to do with either the class teacher or the SENCo, but this may be because I don't live in an 11+ area.
We're in Kent - that's why. At least I assumed it was something to do with them...if not then it's a bit odd!
You may be right - she's passed it on to the senco and the senco is dotty so that might explain part of it - but why in that case didn't she just reply to my chase up, nearly 2 weeks ago?
I just sent a quick 'I forgot to bring this up at our meeting (about something slightly different), how did you get on with the senco?'
and I haven't had a peep since sending that.
There's no doubt about it, she's being rude - I just wish I could believe they gave a stuff about ds. Sadly the ones who aren't likely to pass are kind of already on the scrap heap, or so it seems.
Our HT does communicate through email - weekly staff bulletin, other messages, etc. Its fine for me as I receive them on my phone, and I opt to have my home email included too, for ease for me. I rarely have access to a computer at school - not everyone does in an infant school I'm afraid.
Now, I use a computer all the time out of work, and always have my phone - so for me email from other staff is fine, and I am happy to deal with them out of work too.
I just don't really want direct email communication with parents. I am sure most parents wouldn't keep using it and it would be rarely used, but you can guarantee that there is always going to be one emailing left, right and centre about anything and everything.
RoooneyMara - Do you know that she has definitely received all the emails? When you send an email do you request a read receipt? If none are replied to, bar one initially a long time ago, then I wouldn't be convinced they were all being received anyway. Maybe worth asking her in person if you can.
No, I never send read receipt requests because they seem a bit out of place - a bit demanding if you like. I am certain she already sees me as demanding and I don't want to up the ante.
Plus I imagine she would refuse to read them at all if I did that
I can't imagine how 'phoning to speak to a teacher would be easier than sending an email. If they are teaching and can't respond to email, how would making a phone call be any better for organising contact?
At least with email you can read it when you are not teaching and our school has a policy to respond within 48 hours. Obviously there are certain matters that are inappropriate to discuss via email, but at least email can be used to set up an appointment.
I would be making an appointment with the HT to discuss your concerns, OP and to clarify why there is such poor communication from this teacher..and maybe to even start to sort out your concerns about your DC.
and my latest one was sent via the main office, which I know gets my emails as I have to email them when the children are absent. No reply to that either, though she secretary LOOKed at me when she opened the gate the other day - I think she wanted to say something but thought better of it.
I can't wait till ds leaves this place, I really bloody can't wait.
Thankyou Schmedz. Might be an idea.
I appreciate all the replies - I can see that in many instances it's fair enough to do things by other means, it's provided a very interesting insight into how schools operate.
It is a sad state of affairs that e-mail is not consistently used within all schools, either internally or for communication with parents.
I've worked in school admin (same school) for 9 years now, and whenever we try to implement better /quicker / more efficient ways of getting paperwork completed, there is a core of about 10 teachers who simply will not use e-mail or Google Docs (or whatever) which means the new systems fail.
Instead of being made to use e-mail by the SLT, everyone simply carries on using the old ways i.e paper notes in pigeon holes that get lost or left laying around the school etc.
I think it's a farce and make no secret of my opinion. I'm not very popular with some staff.
Well I can see why they don't. It could become overwhelming. That's the thing; it does offer a far quicker, more efficient and all round better way of communicating.
That means that they will have to do more of the communicating, and it might detract from the time they have available and other stuff will suffer.
OTOH it might be of massive benefit and save them time instead.
I've used it to make complaintes before (only once or twice) and I can almost see the fear in their eyes when I say 'did you get my email?'
BECAUSE it requires a response I suppose. Our school is very very hot on trying to bullshit you into believing their way is the best, or that something didn't happen like it really did, or that you are wrong and misguided in your thinking, and so on and so forth.
The favourite tactic is to get you into a small, overheated and overcrowded 'meeting room' with far more members of staff than is necessary, against just you.
You end up agreeing to anything out of desperation to escape...however patronising, unfair and patently untrue it is.
I just don't really want direct email communication with parents. I am sure most parents wouldn't keep using it and it would be rarely used, but you can guarantee that there is always going to be one emailing left, right and centre about anything and everything.
There's always going to be one of those parents. I'd much rather they do their diatribes via email when I can sit down late at night with a glass of wine and address it in peace and quiet they getting accousted in the classroom every afternoon. Plus, everything is in writing then so I have a backup if they ever try "but Ms S said......"
Our school is very very hot on trying to bullshit you into believing their way is the best, or that something didn't happen like it really did, or that you are wrong and misguided in your thinking, and so on and so forth
<waves> We must know each other. This is EXACTLY our school! Their second favourite tactic (despite requesting on school website that we use e mail to contact teachers) is to ignore emails where replying would require them to a) apologise, b) admit an error, c) admit a deliberate deception/lie
Why did your email require research? I think it is possibly the nature of your requests that is causing them to not respond. If you are asking the teacher about things she has no experience or knowledge of then it is highly likely that she will pass these things on and maybe the second thinks your requests are unreasonable and prefers not to say so.

Hamilton: Fortunately I made no mistakes
|N. Rosberg
|L. Hamilton
|D. Ricciardo
25 May 2014 – Lewis Hamilton says he was pleased to limit the damage of a challenging weekend by finishing second to Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg in Sunday afternoon's Monaco Grand Prix.
Having been unable to find a way past the German into the first corner, Hamilton struggled to put together a genuine attack for the lead.
And when dirt got stuck under his visor in the closing stages of the race, the Briton turned his attention to fending off Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo.
"It was a good day. I'm pleased to get another 1-2," Hamilton began.
"I felt that I was very strong, but it's very, very difficult to overtake here."
Referring to the importance of the points collected, he added: "Fortunately we didn't make any mistakes."
Hamilton trails Rosberg by four points in the championship standings with six rounds completed.

Overall: Much has changed along the defensive line in the past few months. Terrance Taylor, Will Johnson and Tim Jamison vacated the starting lineup and are off to pursue NFL opportunities, leaving Graham the lone holdover starter from 2008. Their exits put the onus on a young crop of Wolverines to pick up the slack, each showing capable potential but each lacking experience.
Article Continues Below
If that wasn't enough to jostle U-M fans out of their uncomfortable bleacher seats, the line is also undergoing a dramatic transformation. The traditional four-line look is being replaced with a three-man front that adds in a hybrid position – the 'quick.'
The brainchild of first-year defensive coordinator Greg Robinson, the entire scheme up front is geared towards a single premise of utilizing U-M's athletes to the best of their ability, while adding a new wrinkle to a Michigan defense that has long endured struggles against the wide-open offenses now permeating the Big Ten.
The Playmaker: Brandon Graham
Playing for a bad defense seems to have poisoned the many accomplishments Graham achieved in 2008. The Detroit native racked up an astounding 20 tackles for loss – the second-best total ever produced by a U-M junior and the seventh-best tally overall. He also recorded 10 sacks, and with 8.5 in 2007, produced the highest total (18.5) over a two-year span in program history.
But the 6-2, 268-pound Graham has long been dogged for his inconsistent play. He is, at times, impossible to block for any offensive tackle yet there are good chunks of the game where he seems to disappear, the senior end has acknowledged. He has vowed greater consistency in 2009, believing it possible to double Michigan's single-season sack record of 12 (1996 & 2006).
In a year where he is the only known commodity up front that might not be achievable, but with 100 percent effort play after play, series after series – Graham has also promised he will remove himself from a game temporarily if he's not at full strength – the 2008 Team MVP could prove good on his word, setting records in dominating fashion.
The Breakout Performer: Ryan Van Bergen
If Graham does indeed draw double- and triple-teams on a regular basis, like he believes he will, the attention drawn his way will benefit the opposite bookend and that figures to be Van Bergen (though he will often operate inside like a tackle).
The redshirt sophomore is most often cited for his outstanding motor, passion for the game and football IQ, but don't sell him short on his athletic ability also. He may not look like a defensive lineman, standing tall at 6-6 and 261 pounds, but there is no fear among his coaches that he will fail to gain the leverage needed to push his opponent backwards. Van Bergen is simply one of the strongest Wolverines pound-for-pound on the team while also possessing speed, quickness and powerful hands that allow him to punch his opponent in the chest, disengage and attack the quarterback.
The Whitehall, Mich., native doesn't yet own a tackle for loss or a sack but he's sure to accumulate plenty for the Maize and Blue this fall.
The Understudy: Greg Banks
Even though he was a highly-regarded recruit coming out of Denver four years ago, Banks needed to improve his conditioning, strength, technique and understanding of the defensive end position before he could contribute significantly. He's been doing that behind the scenes, displaying a work ethic his coaches love.
However, he's yet to see the field for meaningful minutes because of a gluttony of talented performers ahead of him on the depth chart – LaMarr Woodley, Rondell Biggs, Jamison and Graham.
Injuries in the spring precluded him from competing 100 percent against Van Bergen but he will enter the fall determined to win a starting job. If he doesn't earn the gig, Banks still figures to play a prominent role in the line rotation as one of the top backups.
The Impact Freshman: William Campbell
There were plenty of reports from spring practice (and we saw with our own eyes) that Campbell wasn't quite as advanced as previously thought arriving at Michigan a five-star recruit. He still needs to drastically improve his conditioning while learning the nuances of the nose tackle position. However, when the lights were on – at U-M's spring game – Campbell shone brightly, giving his coaches proof that you don't always have to be great Monday thru Friday to be great on Saturday.
With sophomore nose tackle Mike Martin firmly entrenched in the starting role and junior Renaldo Sagesse an able No. 2, there is no need to rush Campbell, but he has shown enough talent for his coaches to trust the big fella on game day this fall.
Brewing Battle: Brandon Herron vs. Marell Evans
We haven't talked much about the 'quick' position yet but its responsibilities are fundamental to what Michigan wants to achieve up front. For now, the U-M roster does not include the ideal 'quick' athlete – think Shawn Crable from 2007. Herron and Evans, though, are adequate competitors for the role presently.
Herron might actually be better-suited for the job because of his natural athleticism but he lacks the size at 6-2, 222 pounds to be a consistent edge rusher. Evans is bigger at 6-3, 237 pounds but needs to add strength and craft his pass-rushing skills.
There is no savior arriving this fall, though, to assume the post so expect a heated battle in August camp to determine which of these two starts for the Wolverines.

Video: VC John Doerr bullish on smart grid
Post a comment
SAN MATEO, Calif. The smart grid promises to be in some ways similar to and even bigger than the Internet, according to a veteran venture capitalist investing in the sector.
"The supergrid will be the last great network we build in our lifetimes," said John Doerr, partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers who helped fund Google and Amazon.com but now focuses on green technology. The electric grid has "been a dumb one-way pipe, but it's about to get really smart with lots of apps," said Doerr in an on-stage interview at the Greenbeat conference here.
"Today the Internet represents a $1 trillion economy and there are some 1.2 billion people on the Net, but energy is a $6 trillion economy, four billion people use it and there hasn't been innovation here for a variety of reasons," he said.
Doerr was an early investor in Silver Springs Networks, a smart meter startup expected to go public next year. Earlier this year alternative battery maker A123 went public in a successful IPO that many market watchers say effectively opened a long-closed window for high tech IPOs.
After the interview, Doerr took questions from a handful of the estimated 400 attendees at the event. He discussed his views on a wide range of topics including everything from hot technologies to China's role in smart electric grids.
In the on-stage interview Doerr shared his experiences and opinions on lobbying for green technologies in Sacramento and Washington D.C.

If you like your big band bold and brassy, then consider Calvin Owens' "Keeping the Big Band Blues Alive." This is a terrific, upbeat, gorgeously performed recording that will certainly roll away your blues. It'll force you to wipe your eyes, arise from that well-worn sofa, switch off that damned television, force you stand up and sway to its rhythms. Listen, move and rejoice!
Who cares about the neighbors wondering where that music is coming from. This music is not wallpaper ambient mood music. It should not be played at a timid volume. This music should be played loud with the windows open on that otherwise sultry summer Saturday evening. There is life and soul in its soaring trumpet, its smokey vocals, its snakey guitar, its sensuous saxophones. This album should give you that swift kick in the butt, that nudge into your ribs, that caress of your hair to swing, sway, laugh and live.
'Hucklebuck' is the way to begin an album. It makes you want to start slinking and slipping. The blues don't get any thicker than on 'Mistreat a Good Man' with an incredible joyful ending with those women singing to the skies. 'If the Blues Come Roun' puts that smile on your face and those cares are thrown out the window. Creole funk 'H-Town' gets you on that dance floor and makes you shake. Even 'Lover Man,' that sorrowful ode, sounds hopeful. It gets way, way over the top with a drunken 'Santa Claus.' 'This Little Light of Mine' might be best played at dawn after a long night and may even usher one into that church on Sunday morn.
Calvin Owens and his band really know how to put on a fabulous show.

Considered one of Japan's cultural treasures, a 30-scroll set of nature paintings from the 1700s is being shown for the first time in its entirety to the West at an exhibit in Washington.
Entitled "Colorful Realm of Living Beings," the paintings were created more than 250 years ago by artist Ito Jakuchu, consisting of intricate images of birds, flowers, insects, fish and other animals on vertical silk scrolls. It is open to the public at the National Gallery of Art until April 29.
To evoke the original religious context of the nature paintings, curators paired the paintings with another of Jakuchu's masterpieces, the "Sakyamuni Triptych." The piece shows three Buddhist deities overlooking the bird-and-flower paintings, serving as a centerpiece for the exhibition.
Since 1889, the fragile silk scroll paintings have been kept in separate locations. The nature paintings were donated to Japan's royal family and have been held ever since by the world's oldest monarchy. The Buddhist triptych is held at the monastery where Jakuchu originally left his works.
Even though his masterpieces are kept mostly out of view in order to help preserve them, Jakuchu has become Japan's most famous pre-modern artist, said guest curator Yukio Lippit, a Harvard University professor of Japanese art.
"Awareness of the painter has risen again only in recent years," Lippit said.
While Jakuchu's works were famous around the time they were painted, his achievements were later forgotten in time.
Four Zen Buddhist monks from the Shokokuji Monastery in Kyoto, where Jakuchu left his paintings, also held a blessing ceremony to complete the exhibit's installation in Washington. They burned incense, chanted Buddhist hymns, and one monk knelt before the Buddhist paintings. This ceremony was performed in part to honor the artist's family, and as a call for world peace.
The four-week exhibition was launched in celebration of the centennial of Japan's gift of 3,000 cherry trees to the U.S. in 1912 as a symbol of friendship. Other rarely seen works by Japanese artists also are on display at the Smithsonian's Sackler Gallery of Art to mark the momentous occasion.
Earl A. Powell III, director of the National Gallery of Art, said that the Japanese were eager to partner for the exhibit even after the devastating earthquake Japan suffered just a year ago.
Japanese Ichiro Fujisaki said the exhibit was prioritized because of his nation's special relationship with the United States.
Showing such cultural treasures from Japan would be similar to touring the works of Leonardo da Vinci or other great European painters, he said. "Even for Japanese eyes," he said, "it may be 50 years (before) you can see this again."

Albany, NY
Great job! Service magic called and emailed me back within minutes of my entering my request on their site on a Sunday night. Followed by Tim from "Actual Chimney Sec.) calling me at right after I hung up from Service Magic around 9 PM. He scheduled me in for 8AM the next morning. He did a great job and brushed the chimney down from the top of the roof (not up from your fireplace like some others will do to save time). Tim even sealed off the fireplace and attached a vacuum to catch the ashes from entering the Living room. I have already sent Tim two referrals!

Fox Appeals Dish 'AutoHop' Ruling11 Nov, 2012 By: Erik Gruenwedel
Fox Broadcasting Company, 20th Century Fox Film Corp. and Fox Television Holdings have filed an appeal of a federal court judge's decision regarding the broadcaster's injunction motion against Dish Network's ad-skipping technology embedded in its Whole-Home Hopper digital video recorder.
Fox filed the motion Nov. 9 in the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the Ninth Court.
Dish's Hopper DVR includes the "AutoHop" feature allowing subscribers to skip commercials on recorded — not live — network programming by simply pushing a button.
Specifically, Fox is appealing U.S. District Court Judge Dolly Gee's Nov. 7 denial of the injunction motion by Fox to ban Dish from marketing a digital video recorder featuring technology that allows users to automatically skip commercials on primetime programming.
Gee did rule that Fox may have a case regarding copyright infringement and contract obligations involving AutoHop.
Fox is among several TV networks that have filed lawsuits against the satellite operator claiming AutoHop violates retransmission agreements and content copyright, among other claims.
Dish in May filed its own lawsuit in New York against Fox and other networks alleging they conspired to deny the satellite TV operator's right to air ads about AutoHop.

Titans vs. Colts Odds
INDIANAPOLIS, IN (The Spread) – The Indianapolis Colts looks to get back on track on Sunday when they host the Tennessee Titans at 1PM ET on CBS.
The Colts are 7-4 on the season, 3-2 at home and 6-5 against the spread. The Titans are 5-6 overall, 3-2 on the road and 6-4-1 against the spread. The Colts won the previous meeting this season, 30-27, and the Colts have won nine of their last 10 against the Titans.
Trends show that the Titans are 0-4 against the spread in their last 4 against the Colts and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 trips to Indianapolis. These two have hit the under in 13 of their last 17 meetings and in 7 of their last 8 meetings in Indy.
According to oddsmakers from Bovada.lv, the Colts are favored at home, as they have odds of -4 points against the Titans. The over/under total for the game has been set at 44.5 points (View Matchup). The opening odds for this game had the Colts favored by 4. The spread moved to 4.5 points before falling back to 4. The over/under total opened at 44.5 and fell to 44 before moving back to 44.5.
The Colts are coming off a 40-11 loss at Arizona last week. It was the second time in three games that Indy has lost by at least 29 points. The Colts are now giving up 369 yards per game on defense, while the offense is posting 339.8 yards per contest. Andrew Luck has thrown for 2,593 yards and 15 touchdowns to lead the offense this year, while T.Y. Hilton has 51 catches for 745 yards and five touchdowns. Robert Mathis is leading the defense with 14.5 sacks.
Tennessee is coming off a 23-19 win at Oakland last week. The win snapped a two-game losing streak for the Titans. Tennessee is averaging just 333.9 yards per game on offense while the defense is giving up just 332.3 yards per contest. Ryan Fitzpatrick has filled in for the injured Jake Locker at QB, and Fitzpatrick has thrown for 1,332 yards and seven touchdowns. Chris Johnson has added 705 rushing yards with four touchdowns. The defense is being led by Alterraun Verner, who has 41 tackles, five interceptions and 16 pass deflections.
In terms of Injuries, Indianapolis cornerback Greg Toler (groin) and fullback Stanley Havili (concussion) are both questionable for the game. Tennessee receiver Damian Williams (quad) is questionable and safety Michael Griffin will be serving a suspension for a hit he had last week.
The Public Bets for this game are currently backing the Colts, as Indianapolis is getting 62% of the wagers with odds of -4 points against the Titans on Sunday.

Not sure what the controversy is. Through manipulating the environment through agriculture we've upset the blance of nature and predators and as such we now need to control the populations of animals as there is no natural mechanism to do it. Badgers are a pest just like Foxes and other cute fluffy animals as their populations have gone out of control
Hate to break it to you but cows aren't wild animals. Perhaps cows are the pest here.

Nebraska's Small Businesses of the Year for 2011
OMAHA – Len Dickson, and his wife, Jule Goeller, and their company, Sand Creek Post and Beam of Wayne, Neb., have been named the Nebraska Small Business of the Year for 2011 by the U.S. Small Business Administration.
The company was nominated for the honor by Loren Kucera, Director, Nebraska Business Development Center (NBDC), Wayne. They have been invited to attend National Small Business Week May 16-20 in Washington, D.C., and are eligible for selection as National Small Business Person of the Year.
Under the theme, "Empowering Entrepreneurs," a series of events and educational forums will mark the 58th anniversary of the agency and the 48th annual proclamation of National Small Business Week.
More than 100 outstanding small business owners from across the country, including Sand Creek Post and Beam, will receive awards while gathering for three days at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in our nation's capital. They will meet with top administration officials, congressional representatives and national business leaders.
Dickinson and Goeller started their business five years ago, growing into a company which blends building and selling technologically advanced pre-cut, pre-engineered kits which preserve authentic Great Plains post-and-beam barns and outbuildings. The firm offers big wood post and beam timber barns and outbuilding kits—many of which even are perfect for a one-of-a-kind rustic home. The frames are assembled on a customer's existing foundation, and if that customer needs construction advice all the way up to turn-key construction services for the new barn, they provide that, too. Workers at their 27,000-square foot factory in Wayne, and their facility in Cleveland, Ga., mill, cut and assemble barn kits.
"Many of the barns in Nebraska years ago were built from kits from Sears or Montgomery Wards," Goeller said. "So we brought back an old business and we're reviving a niche. People don't have the time these days to do things like get tools and go find people with expertise to build a barn. So if you could have something shipped already pre-packaged, wouldn't that would work great?"
Keeping with its back-to-the-prairie environmentally-friendly business model, Sand Creek Post and Beam uses all-natural materials, with no chemical preparations. "We pay Arbor Day to plant 10 trees for every customer we have," Goeller added.
Four years ago, the company embarked on an expansion project which would mean more factory space, an ability to complete more orders, and more jobs for local workers. Kucera played a crucial role for the business coordinating an SBA loan package and grant applications.
The company was approved Oct. 3, 2008, for a 7(a) loan from BankFirst in Wayne to purchase a plant in the town and adding a separate lean-to for building doors and windows for their kits. Around the same time, the firm earned a community development block grant to build a second plant facility on the Wayne property; Nebraska Lt. Gov. Rick Sheehy even stopped by for a ribbon cutting ceremony. Finally, a loan from the Northeast Nebraska Economic Development District allowed the company to acquire an abandoned bank for its office building.
From 2006 to 2009, the company grew from $1 million to $5.1 million in revenue, and to 37 employees. Inc. Magazine recognized the firm by naming it the 218th fastest-growing company in the country in 2009. Goeller estimated revenues for 2010 to be between $6 and $7 million.
Plans for the future include placing small production units strategically around the country to cut down on shipping costs. "We would like to expand our sales network, and look at doing more international sales," Goeller added. "We sold one barn delivered to France, another to Alberta, even people from Australia are interested in obtaining our products.
While the company continues to look toward future growth, they're proud of their ties to the past, and a picture of rural America of days gone by.
"We even saw a TV commercial for four wheelers, and by chance one of our barns was used as a backdrop," Goeller said. "That shows our barns really tie into being in the country and being tough and rugged. Some people use a barn when they want something to look American; well, we build those barns!"
Other statewide winners include:
• Small Business of the Year 2011 for Congressional District 1
Technical Maintenance & Service, Lincoln, NE
Nominated by Marisol Rodriguez, NBDC
• Small Business of the Year 2011 for Congressional District 2

Nominated by Cliff Mosteller, NBDC

Cindy K. Johnson, Grand Island Chamber of Commerce
Nominated by Odee Ingersoll, NBDC

Lisa Wolford, CSSS.Net, Bellevue
Nominated by Joel Merriman, CSSS.Net
• Financial Services Champion of the Year 2011 for the State of Nebraska
Dave Jibben, West Central Nebraska Development District, Inc., Ogallala
Nominated by Jason Tuller, NBDC
Since Oct. 1, 2009, the SBA has approved more than 880 loans to Nebraska small businesses with a total loan volume of more than $230 million, and has been responsible for creating more than 3,300 new jobs in the state.
In economic downturns, SBA guaranteed loans typically become more attractive because the SBA provides lenders with some cushion for their risks. Lenders can provide SBA guaranteed loans for all business needs but typically turn to SBA for new businesses or businesses with less collateral and smaller equity injections typically required for conventional loans.
While banks nationwide have been hesitant to lend to small businesses, unwilling to take on any risk during the downturn and small businesses themselves have been holding off on taking on more debt, the numbers paint a better picture for Nebraska.

There will be no 0-6 start this year, folks.
Led by impressive play on both sides of the football, the Tennessee Titans started their 2010 NFL season on a winning note as they whipped the still-mediocre Oakland Raiders 38-13.
On defense, Chuck Cecil's troops accounted for four sacks while causing two Raider turnovers. Offensively, Vince Young was an efficient 13 of 17 for 154 yards and two touchdown passes, while CJ continued his dominance from last year with 142 rushing yards, including a 76-yard scoring scamper.
Additional thoughts on today's dominating Titans' win…after the jump.
Albert who?
Prior to today's game, the possibility of the Titans reacquiring Albert Haynesworth dominated the headlines. If today's Titan defensive performance is any indication, the team's desire to bring back "Fat Albert" is more of a luxury than a need.
Continuing their solid play from the preseason, the Titans' defensive line did a solid job of providing constant pressure on a seemingly helpless Jason Campbell. Riding the wave of momentum due to Jeff Fisher's decision to play defense on the game's opening possession, the Titans' D-line was a force from the beginningto the competitive-end of the contest.
Sure, Haynesworth would make the DT position a better unit if he's brought back to Nashville. However, there's a part of me that would hate to see his re-arrival play a negative role on the current chemistry of a very prideful and talented Titans' defensive tackle rotation.
The Vin-assaince continues
During the offseason, some questioned whether or not Vince could continue the strides he made during last year's 8-2 finish into the 2010 campaign. After today's performance, so far, so good is the perfect way to describe VY's ability to answer the naysayers.
Besides a first-half fumble, Vince played nearly-flawless football, managing the game effectively while also connecting on a big-play touchdown pass to Nate Washington.
There's still a long ways to go with a slate of opponents approaching who should be a lot tougher than Al Davis's Raiduhs. However, today was definitely a step in the right direction in Vince's journey to prove that he can continue his development into becoming a pretty good NFL quarterback.
Other random thoughts
-Speaking of getting this year off on the right note, some applause needs to be extended in the direction of Nate Washington, who provided some playmaking ability in the form of 3 catches for 88 yards, including the aforementioned 56-yard TD reception.
Hopefully, he'll continue to overcome his career-long case of "the dropsies" as the season progresses.
-One thing that I've noticed about TE Craig Stevens: he's quite a load when running after-the-catch. The guy just has a knack for continuing to move forward, even when he's hit by opposing defenders.
-Continuing the TE theme, lo and behold, VY made sure his favorite target, fellow Texas alum Bo Scaife, was the recipient of one of the team's two touchdown passes.
-I saw a lot of good things from last year's embattled safety Michael Griffin. He led the team in tackles (10, 2 assists) while also doing a good job of playing the run and most importantly, defending the passwell instead of being on the wrong end of them.
-Javon Ringer showed that he's more than capable of serving as the team's lone RB outside of CJ, as he scored his first NFL touchdown while rushing for 33 yards on 5 carries.
I still would have loved to see LeGarrette Blount stick around, but Ringer once again provided us with an indication that he's more than adequate depth behind Chris Johnson.
-He may not play the run well, but one has to be happy with Jacob Ford's pass-rushing abilities, which were on full display on a sack of Jason Campbell that caused a fumble.
-Jason McCourty won the battle of the starting opposite of Cortland Finnegan sweepstakes and didn't disappoint, despite the fact that he wasn't tested facing a Oakland Raider passing attack that, due to their lack of protection up front, failed to get their vertical passing attack going.
Nonetheless, a nice performance by J-Mac.
