Hurricane Matthew
At this time, Miami-Dade County is monitoring Hurricane Matthew.
Please visit our Emergency website for the latest information on openings and closings in Miami-Dade County.
Many businesses in Miami-Dade County have taken steps to incorporate sustainable practices into their operations, therefore improving performance and achieving operational cost savings. Some benefits to greening business operations include:
- 15-30% savings on cleaning costs
- 35% in energy savings
- 20-60% in water savings
Until now, customers have had no way of recognizing which businesses are going green. So Miami-Dade County has developed the Green Business Certification Program in order to recognize green businesses in our community.
Join a growing number of businesses that are improving the local economy, environment and quality of life, while saving money.
Green Business Certification Program
The Miami-Dade Green Business Certification program has been developed to help local enterprises maximize their social, ecological and financial performance. By completing the Green Business Application Checklist, businesses can measure how green their operations are and have an opportunity to meet all required measures. Also, check out these tips for ideas and ways to green your business.
Green Lodging Program
Miami-Dade County has partnered with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Green Lodging Program to assist local hotels in obtaining their State of Florida Green Lodging Designation. Many Miami-Dade hotels have received this designation and you can find them by using this green lodging map.
Miami-Dade County hotels that have received the State of Florida Green Lodging Designation qualify for the Green Business Certification. The state's designation will meet the requirements of the County's certification. Florida Green Lodging-designated hotels are encouraged to contact the Green Business Program at email@example.com and request additional information on how to obtain the certification.
The program's environmental guidelines allow the hospitality industry to evaluate its operations, set goals and take specific actions to continuously improve environmental performance. Green Lodging Tips provide information on ways to green a hotel.
Recycling used equipment
Miami-Dade businesses are encouraged to replace inefficient appliances with ENERGY STAR-qualified products
Recycle or dispose of old appliances or select equipment according to federal and state laws and regulations. Ensure, and provide proof, the old appliance is not resold or put back into service.
Refer to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) list of companies that de-manufacture and recycle televisions, computers and other electronic equipment. By providing this list, DEP and Miami-Dade County do not endorse specific equipment or companies.

'Bill Posters Will Be Prosecuted' signs aim to stop the visual pollution bill posters can create. Ironically, the notices themselves are ugly. To fix this problem Happy Soldiers replaced these notices with good looking versions. Lovely vector art available for download on the Billposters Project site.

Banksy in NY May 2010
From the Gothamist: Banksy has been traveling across the country for the last couple of weeks, doing pieces and promoting his movie "Exit Through The Giftshop". After he hit Toronto and Boston, streetart enthusiasts were betting he'd show up in NYC. Those suspicions turned out to be true this morning, when this piece showed up(…)

About a year ago, peregrine Financial CEO Russell Wasendorf Sr. was found attempting to kill himself in his car.
Hero peregrine – Actress Cree Summer gave this name to her daughter, who joined sister Brave Littlewing.
Goshawks may have more than the small hawks, but not so much as a peregrine.
Then glancing aloft, he understood how it was that the peregrine had been recognised.
Of course it is very difficult to do this, as twenty or thirty miles more or less is a mere exercise canter for a peregrine.
It was as large as the peregrine itself—certainly as large as the cutter.
The peregrine is as sound as a bell, they say—ah, she is a good ship!
The chief fault in the character of young peregrine Orme was that he was so young.
Sir peregrine could not refuse to transmit the Judge's missive, but he took good care to malign him in an accompanying despatch.
For young peregrine there was no need of competitive struggles.
also peregrin, type of falcon, 1550s, short for peregrine falcon (late 14c.), from Old French faulcon pelerin (mid-13c.), from Medieval Latin falco peregrinus, from Latin peregrinus "coming from foreign parts" (see peregrination). Sense may have been a bird "caught in transit," as opposed to one taken from the nest. Peregrine as an adjective in English meaning "not native, foreign" is attested from 1520s.

This article is for SBA loan applicants looking for instructions on how to fill out SBA Form 413 – the Personal Financial Statement (download form here), which is used to evaluate your loan eligibility based on your and your spouse's personal net worth.
A downside of applying for an SBA loan is the amount of paperwork that's involved. Our recommended SBA lender, SmartBiz, keeps the paperwork to a minimum. If you've been in business for 2+ years, are profitable, and have a credit score above 680 (check here for free) you can get prequalified for an SBA 7(a) loan in minutes.
More SBA loan application forms:
- SBA Form 1919 Borrower Information
- SBA Form 159 Fee Disclosure Form & Compensation Agreement
- SBA Form 912 Statement of Financial History
Who Needs to Complete SBA Form 413?
Every applicant for the SBA 7(a) general purpose business loan and SBA 504 real estate and equipment loan must complete SBA Form 413. Each of the following people must complete a form:
- Each proprietor of the business.
- Each general partner or managing member of an LLC.
- Each limited partner with 20% or more interest.
- Each stockholder owning 20% or more voting stock.
- Any person or entity providing a guaranty on the loan.
The SBA Form 413 Personal Financial Statement is three pages long. The first page provides an overview of your assets and liabilities, and subsequent pages ask for further detail on the numbers provided on this first page. In other words, all of the sections on pages 2 and 3 refer to certain parts of the overview on page 1.
What Paperwork You'll Need to Complete SBA Form 413
Before beginning SBA form 413, you'll need to gather a good deal of paperwork. At the very top of the form is an "As of [date]." Your goal is get paperwork that reflects your assets and liabilities from the last full month before filling out the application. For example, if you fill out the form on May 8, 2016, you'll want to gather documents with information going through April 30, 2016. Your as of date will be April 30, 2016.
If you are married and filed a joint tax return, both your and your spouse's name should be on the form. This does not mean that your spouse is a guarantor of the loan, but simply that you own joint assets and have joint liabilities. All joint assets and liabilities should be reported on the form, unless you have a legal document, such as a prenuptial agreement, that specifically separates certain assets.
Gather the following documents:
- Checking and savings account statements showing balances
- IRA, 401(k), and other retirement account statements showing balances
- Life insurance documents showing current cash value
- Stocks, bonds, and other investment documents showing current value
- Pay stub showing current annual salary
- Statements for disability income, pensions, real estate income, or other sources of income
- Mortgage statements, auto loan statements, credit card statements, and statements for other types of loans
SBA Form 413 Definitions and Terms
General Terms
Expiration Date – The expiration date is listed in the top right-hand side. Make sure that the form is current and has not expired. You should be able to get an up to date copy on the SBA's Forms website.
"As of" Date – This indicates the date that all the information provided is based off of. It is recommended to go back to the previous month and use the last day of that month. For example, if you are filling out the form on September 10th, use August 31st as your "as of" date.
Name – If you are married and file a joint tax return you should provide both your name and your spouse's name. This does not make your spouse a guarantor, but indicates that you own assets and liabilities together.
Residence – Use your current address.
Business Name and Applicant Name – Write in the legal name of your business as it is shown on your most recent business federal tax return.
Business and Residence Phone – For business phone, provide a direct business line, not a secretary. For residence phone, give your cell phone. This is to enable quicker communication in case the SBA or the lender has questions about your application.
Cash on Hand & in Banks – Provide the total amount of money in all your personal checking accounts, including individual checking accounts, joint checking accounts, and your spouse's checking accounts (if you are married and filed a joint tax return with your spouse).
Savings Accounts – Provide the total amount in your savings accounts, money market accounts, and CDs.
IRA and Other Retirement Accounts – Provide the total value of your Roth IRA, traditional IRA, 401(k) account, and other retirement accounts. Make sure to include the value of any retirement accounts from previous jobs that you may have forgotten to roll over into your current retirement accounts.
Accounts & Notes Receivable – This section includes any personal loans you have given people. This is not a commonly used section, but if you have lent any money, include that here.
Life Insurance—Cash Surrender Value Only – This only applies to whole life insurance policies that include a cash payout when the policy is cancelled. If you have one of these policies, indicate the total you would receive. This does not apply to term life insurance policies.
Stocks and Bonds – Indicate the total value of all securities owned by you, your spouse, and jointly. You will provide a full description of these securities in Section 3 on the second page of this form.
Real Estate – List the value of all residences and commercial property that you own, your spouse owns, or you jointly own together. You will provide a full description of these properties in Section 4 on the 2nd page of this form.
Automobiles – This section includes the present value of all of the cars, boats, and recreational vehicles you own (not the amount you paid for it). For cars, you can use the Kelley Blue Book for a quick estimate of the present value. Do not include leased vehicles in this total.
Other Personal Property – Here you can include an estimate of the total value of your miscellaneous personal possessions, such as jewelry, artwork, electronics, antiques, etc. Try to give an accurate and realistic estimate that does not inflate the value of your belongings.
Other Assets – This is a catch all section for any other personal property that you have not listed so far, including the net worth of your ownership stake in any businesses. There are many ways to value a company, which you can learn more about in our guide to small business valuation. One way to determine the market value of the business is to determine the value if you were to sell it (including assets) and subtract the liabilities. Then multiply this total net worth by your ownership stake. For example, if you own 25% of a business with a market value of $1.5 million and $500,000 in liabilities, you do the following calculation: $1.5 million – $500,000 = $1 million x 0.25. The value of your stake would be $250,000, and that's what you would write down on SBA Form 413.
Total Assets – Here you add up the total of all your assets.
Accounts Payable – This section is for products and services purchased on credit or on a regular payment basis. This does not include credit cards or other personal lines of credit. This section is not commonly used.
Notes Payable to Banks and Others – This section is for the total balance of all your credit cards, personal loans, and personal lines of credit. We recommend that you get a credit report to make sure that you do not miss anything — you are entitled to one free copy of your credit report every year from each of the three main consumer credit bureaus.
Installment Account (Auto) – This section is for the total of all your vehicle loans and leases, including cars, boats, airplanes, etc. Include the total outstanding balance and total monthly payment. If you have multiple vehicle payments or leases, put the total combined monthly payment.
Installment Account (Other) –This section is for any other installment loans, such as student loans or other personal loans payable for more than one year. Put the total balance and total monthly payment for all the loans.
Loans on Life Insurance – If you have taken a loan against your life insurance policy, list the total amount outstanding. This applies only to whole life insurance policies, not to term life insurance.
Mortgages on Real Estate – Put the total amount you owe on all your personal mortgages. Do not put the original amount of the mortgage, only the current outstanding debt.
Unpaid Taxes – Include any unpaid real estate, income, school, or other taxes.
Other liabilities – This section is a catch all for any other liabilities you have not listed so far.
Total liabilities – Add up the value of all your liabilities here.
Net Worth – This spot is for your total assets minus your total liabilities.
Total – Add you total liabilities to your total net worth.
How to Fill Out SBA Form 413 in 8 Steps
Step 1: Sources of Income
Salary – Include all wage income for you and your spouse. Only include the amount that you report on your W2 or 1099 tax forms. If your company is an LLC and your salary is what you take out of the company, do not include this here, but rather as part of your ownership stake in the "Other Assets" section mentioned above.
Net Investment Income – This section includes any income from dividends and interest earned on stocks and bonds.
Real Estate Income – This is your annual net income from rental properties after expenses.
Other Income – This section is for other income that you receive on a regular basis. This can include child support, a pension, or other income. Describe this income in the box provided beneath Section 1.
Contingent Liabilities
As Endorser or Co-Maker – List the total outstanding debt on any loans you've cosigned.
Legal Claims & Judgments – List any debts associated with legal judgments and claims.
Provision for Federal Income Tax – List the any money you are setting aside to pay expected federal income taxes.
Other Special Debt – This is another catch all for any other debts.
Step 2: Notes Payable to Banks and Others
This section details all of your debts, such as credit cards, personal loans, and student loans. If you do not have enough space, attach another sheet of paper with the required information. If you need to attach an additional sheet, be sure to write your name, "as of" date, and "SBA Form 413 – Section 2" at the top left corner.
Name and Address of Noteholders- Try to enter the name and address of the banks that hold your debt. Space is limited, so use abbreviations if you need to. If you have multiple loans or credit cards from the same bank, list the last four numbers of the account number so that it can be matched with a credit report.
Original Balance: Put the total amount when the account was first established. For credit cards, put $0. For other loans, put the initial loan amount.
Current Balance: Put the total amount that you currently owe. Put $0 for credit cards if you pay your balance in full each month and don't retain a balance.
Payment Amount: Put the minimum payment that you have to pay with each statement. For credit cards, you can write "varies."
Frequency: Note the payment schedule, which is usually monthly.
How Secured or Endorsed – Type of Collateral: Here you should indicate how your loans are secured by describing the object or real estate used as collateral. If collateral was not required, write "unsecured" in the text box. Most credit cards are unsecured.
Step 3: Stocks and Bonds
This section is where you list all the marketable securities you and your spouse own. There is space for four, but if need be, you can attach an additional sheet with more. If you need to attach an additional sheet, be sure to write your name, "as of" date, and "SBA Form 413 – Section 3" at the top.
Number of Shares – Mark the total number you own.
Name of Security – Note the name.
Cost – Put the initial cost of your purchase.
Market Value Quotation/Exchange – Put the value of the security on the as-of date you selected.
Date of Quotation/Exchange – This is the day you took the value (the same as the as-of date).
Total Value – Multiply the market value by the number of shares you own. This should match what you entered on page 1 of the form under "Assets," "Stocks and Bonds."
Step 4: Real Estate Owned
This section is for a detailed description of all the property you own in your name. List any property that you report on your personal taxes. Property A should be your primary residence if you own your current residence. Use sections B and C for additional properties. If you own more than three properties, attach a "schedule of real estate" that identifies the same information for all properties. If you need to attach an additional sheet, be sure to include your name, "as of" date, and "SBA Form 413 – Section 4."
Type of Property: List type of property, such as "primary residence", "undeveloped lot", or "investment property."
Address: Use the same address that you list for this property on your personal tax return.
Date of Purchase: Use the date on your mortgage bill of sale.
Original Cost: List the purchase price.
Present Market Value: Use the current appraised value of the property if sold today. You can obtain an estimate by calling a broker or use an online tool like Zillow or Trulia. Try to use as accurate an estimate as possible and avoid over inflating the value.
Name and Address of Mortgage Holder: Put the bank name and address. If you hold numerous mortgages from the same bank, put the last four digits of the account number as well.
Amount of Payment per Month/Year: Put your monthly/yearly mortgage payment. Write N/A if your mortgage is paid off.
Status of Mortgage: Write "current," "foreclosure," or "paid in full."
Step 5: Other Personal Property and Other Assets
This section is for any personal property of significant value, such as jewelry, electronics, retirement accounts, cars, recreational vehicles, etc. Try to provide as much information as possible, including your car model and year. If you have used any of the items as collateral for loans or have liens against them, make sure to list the name and address of the lien holder, the amount of the lien, and payment terms (e.g. payment amount and frequency).
You can also use this section to detail the value of your ownership stake in your small business. You can add details that justify your valuation of your company. For more information on how to value your company, click here.
Step 6: Unpaid Taxes
List any unpaid taxes here and specify whether they are state, federal, or local taxes.
Step 7: Other Liabilities
This section is a catch all where you can list any other liabilities not previously disclosed on the form.
Step 8: Life Insurance Held
List all the life insurance policies you have, including term, whole life, and variable life insurance. Provide face value that would be provided to your beneficiaries, as well as the cash surrender value if you have whole life. Also list the full names of policy beneficiaries.
Finished with your SBA Form 413? Submit an SBA loan application wth SmartBiz, our preferred SBA lender for loans under $350K.
Bottom Line
Once you are finished completing SBA Form 413, sign and date the last page, print it off, and assemble it in a binder with all the supporting documents that verify the details on the form. When you are filling out the form, do not include anything that cannot be easily backed up with documentation. It is likely that your banker will request some of these forms in order to verify your claims, so it will speed up your loan application process if you already have them assembled and ready to go. Whenever possible, provide copies of documents instead of the originals.
If you want to minimize your SBA paperwork, you can also try our recommended SBA lender, SmartBiz, for loans under $350K. They are the best company we have found at providing quick turnarounds on SBA loan approvals. You can get prequalified in under 5 minutes with no impact on your credit score.

Nutritional Detoxification, Part Two: Before the Diet
By G. Douglas Andersen, DC, DACBSP, CCN
I answered the phone and the voice on the other end said, "Hi, Dr. Andersen. Could you teach a nutrition course for us on detoxification? The scheduled instructor just informed us he is unable to give the seminar." I answered her question with a few of my own questions.
"How long will the lecture be? Is the course content predetermined or will I create the entire lecture?" She told me it would be a 10-hour discussion on published course topics.
"OK," I said."Give me at least six weeks to put it together. When is it scheduled?" There was a pause, and in a low voice, I heard, "This weekend."
"Can I review the scheduled instructor's notes or presentation?" I asked. "We never received anything," she replied. "Well, you do realize this will be my views and not yours?" I stated. "We're desperate," she replied.
I informed the attendees at the onset, "Those who expect a product-based approach may be disappointed," because my emphasis was a common-sense, low-tech program rather than which powders, potions, pills, proteins, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, herbs and nutraceuticals were best for (detoxifying/cleaning/rejuvenating) a given organ. I informed the group it was hard for me to recommend a cleanse if I could not find any credible information to define or determine what is dirty.
In general, people do not seek detoxification-type, nutritional intervention for single-incident exposures. Those normally are reserved for poison-control treatments. Nutritional detoxification programs are normally done for long-standing problems that might be vague or progressive without the presence of frank pathology. Ongoing complaints such as pain, fatigue or gastrointestinal, genitourinary, neurological and musculoskeletal dysfunction which have a less than satisfactory response to various types of intervention are the conditions targeted by the supplement industry for detox programs in their promotional literature. In my experience, if: 1) the environmental exposures can be identified, reduced, avoided or minimized; and 2) the nutrient-depleted, stressful, pro-inflammatory foods are eliminated from the diet; then 3) only a very, very small subset of patients will ever require a costly supplemental treatment program.
External Toxins and Lifestyle Habits
Identify and eliminate toxic exposure from all possible/practical sources. In the categories that follow, an in-depth question-and-answer exchange is required to determine a possible, unlikely or definite problem.
Pre-Dietary Recommendations
Rarely will you encounter a patient who doesn't have any non-dietary issues which can cause, contribute to or exacerbate their symptoms. Prior to dietary changes, address any external issues such as the following:
By first cleaning up a person's environment and lifestyle, the odds of successful nutritional changes are greatly elevated. This is important because if a person doesn't feel better eating apples over cookies, they will return to cookies. The goal of diet modification is permanent habit change rather than: "I'm eating healthy because I'm detoxing."

Well now with my brother Blackie getting all the attention, maybe I should start my own diary. I am Muffin, the quite shy one in the house. Its funny, but when Blackie and I were younger, I was the leader and ruler of the house. Then my human snuck up on Blackie and started petting him. You see when we were kittens, we were totally wild and we were trapped and given to our human. Our human instead of giving up on us, worked with us for months trying to be oour friend. Finally Blackie found out how good it was to be petted and loved and I finally joined in. Today I am still shy, you cannot move suddenly around me and I approach you for attention when I want it. But I love being brushed, I think it makes my long hair look so good. I still miss being outdoors all the time and constantly want to be outside. My human does let me outside in nice weather and when he is home he thinks the local coyotes could get me. I am not very fast and they tell me I am a little bit uncoordinated but I think I can do just fine. Anyways, time for a nap, typing makes me tired. Till next time Purrrrrs everyone.

Yesterday's post was all about looking back at the year that was. Today is all about looking forward. These are the games coming out in 2011 that have me the most excited.
Okami is my favourite game of all time (in a first place tie with Metroid Prime, of course). It was one of those surprising games that I heard great things about but had no idea what exactly was in store. It set benchmarks in storytelling, dialogue, and visual design that few games can rival. When I heard that a sequel was in production, I couldn't be happier that I'd get to take a second trip through this world, and I bought a DS within weeks in anticipation of its arrival. I'm cautiously optimistic that a different developer can do justice to the first game, and if they do happen to recapture the magic of the original I dare say they might have created the best game ever made.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
People say lots of good things about the original Deus Ex, but I don't actually know very much about it. The trailer that came out during E3 last year grabbed my attention, and prompted me to track down the first games (although I haven't actually played them yet). If the old games are as good as people make them out to be, and if the new game is as cool as the trailer makes it seem, consider this one a must buy.
Conduit 2
I can tell you where I was on June 24, 2009. I was standing in front of my local GameStop waiting somewhat patiently for the girl inside to unlock the door so I could run in and pick up the game I had pre-ordered at least two months earlier. She probably thought I was crazy, but most people do. I had booked the day off of work weeks ago so I would have the entire day to play my game. As I walked toward my car it felt like my feet weren't even touching the ground.
I loved The Conduit. I'll be the first to admit that it wasn't perfect, and it doesn't quite compare to a big budget title like Modern Warfare 2, but I still put over 30 hours into that game. The joy started to fade, however, as sour reviews started popping up and it was clear that this game was not selling or changing the universe the way we had all hoped it would. And it was looking pretty unlikely that the cliffhanger ending would ever be resolved.
I would love to go back in time and see the look on my face when I read that a sequel had been announced. I read the news on April Fools' Day (the day after the news broke), so I thought it was the meanest joke ever played. But it was no joke, and I could already feel the anticipation bubbling up again. I'm confident that the developers learned a lot from their first effort, and will be able to tidy up some of the weaker areas for the sequel. I haven't bought a Wii game since The Conduit, but this just might be the one that ends that streak.
Uncharted 3
I didn't particularly like Uncharted 1. When I played it Uncharted 2 had already been out for a few months and everyone was very pleased with how it turned out. I wanted to play it but decided to try the first one, well, first. I liked the game as long as I was watching a cinematic and not actually playing it. Clunky platforming and seemingly endless shooting galleries drained whatever fun was to be had out of it, and with it went any desire to play Uncharted 2. An early Christmas present from my brother put it in my hands (he knew that was the only way I would ever play it!) and it was much improved over the original. Now that Nathan Drake and I are friends again, and Naughty Dog seems to be tightening up the gameplay and not just the presentation, I feel much more confident in Drake's next adventure.
Portal 2
I never played Portal, but I sure feel like I have. I watched someone play it from start to finish, I know the lines of Still Alive by heart, and I'm still debating whether the cake is actually a lie. It's one of the most imaginative games I've seen, all based around a single, simple concept that can yield mind-bending results. The sequel looks to take that same basic concept and launch it into orbit. It's scary to think about what Valve might dream up when the traditional portals are combined with all the new surfaces and objects they've added to this version. But it wasn't just the puzzles that made Portal unique - there was something charming about the characters (character?), something Portal 2 does not appear to lack.
Mass Effect 3
All it took was one playthrough of Mass Effect to put this one on the list. Without even touching Mass Effect 2, I'm already looking forward to the third chapter. If BioWare's second act really is the feat it's purported to be, and they can continue on that trajectory just one more time, Mass Effect 3 could be a real gamechanger, both for RPGs and for gaming as a whole.

Jul 7, 2013 - By Bruce Tippets, Sports EditorThe former Riverton High School golfer stands 5 under par with one round to go.
Riverton golfer Zach Waxler has built a two-stroke lead after the first two rounds of the Wyoming Amateur Championship at the Riverton Country Club.
Waxler opened the tournament with a 67 on Friday, then followed Saturday with a 72.
Waxler spent last season on the Utah State University men's golf team.
Jackson's Edward Stewart is second after scoring a 71 and a 70.
Riverton golfer P.J. Thomas (70-75) and Lander Valley High School assistant golf coach Mike Watson (73-71) are tied for fifth in the standings. Thomas is on the University of Wyoming golf team.
The final round is slated to end Sunday afternoon.
"The field is a real strong field," Riverton Country Club golf pro Steve Johnson said. "It's not quite as strong as the Saltwater amateur field, just because we were drawing the BYU players and the Utah State players."
The tournament is expected to be finished by 3 p.m. Sunday.
"I think that 9-under par is going to be right about where it ends up," Johnson said.
Ryan Graham from Buffalo is the defending champion. He struggled with a 76 in the opening round Friday in Riverton, the slumped to a 79 in the second round to fall out of contention.
"We had rain on Wednesday and Thursday," Johnson said. "The golf course is in unbelievable shape. The greens are just perfect. The only thing that would have made it a little tougher is if we didn't have the moisture. We couldn't ask for a better golf course."
Golfers must have an 8 handicap or lower to be in the tournament.
"It's just limited by ability and not by age," Johnson said.
First round
"Scoring was good on the first day," Johnson said.
Waxler hit birdies Friday on No. 3, No. 5, No. 6, No. 8, No. 10, No. 11 and No. 12.
"Zach just had an amazing round," Johnson said. "He plays really smart. He hits the ball a long way. He managed the game and the course really well. He hit smart shots. He wasn't trying to power the ball. He had the putts where he could make runs at birdies."
He did bogeyed No. 4 and No. 13.
Riverton's Aaron Nirider finished with a 70 on Friday. Nirider had a double bogey on No. 18. Nirider claimed birdies on No. 9, No. 10, No. 14 and No. 15.
"Aaron played great," Johnson said. "Unfortunately, he doubled-bogeyed the last hole. He played 17 beautiful holes. He still had a great round."
Nirider had a 77 in the second day.
Riverton's Easton Paxton is seventh after scores of 72 and 73.

If HAARTZ says it's the best, you know it's the best. The RaggTopp Vinyl and Fabric Convertible Top Cleaner is backed by the foremost name in convertible top construction.
Perhaps you've never heard of HAARTZ, but we're sure your convertible probably has. HAARTZ is the world's largest manufacturer of convertible topping material. They alone have the capacity to cover every single convertible top in the world. They started in the 1920's, alongside some of the first convertibles to enter the US market. You know a company must know their stuff if they are endorsed by HAARTZ. Enter RaggTopp, makers of the best-selling Fabric and Vinyl Convertible Top Cleaner.
This pump spray cleaner is formulated exclusively for fabric and vinyl. Use confidently to safely clean convertible tops, sport utility tops, simcon tops and tonneau covers. RaggTopp Cleaner removes the toughest roof soils and stains, retards the growth of mildrew and will actually keep dirt and grease at bay. The anti-oxidant, low pH, no bleach formula leaves NO residue. The environmentally friendly & biodegradable formula will not harm autmotive finishes, chrome, rubber, glass, or plastic windows.
Remember, RaggTopp is the only brand of cleaner and protectant that is recommended by Haartz Corporation and Rode & Schwalenber Gmbh. (Germany)
Q & A on Proper Convertible Top Cleaning:
Q: How do I clean my convertible top?
A: Convertible tops are subjected to the same environmental conditions that nature and man places on your car's finish.
The number one factor in deteriorating convertible tops is acid rain, U.V. rays, smog, gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, tree sap, bird droppings, salt, tar, dirt and grit.
A regular program of keeping the convertible top clean through regular washings BEFORE it gets dirty, will enhance the life and beauty of your convertible top and make successive cleaning easier.
RAGGTOPP™ Cleaner is the finest cleaner of its kind: a superior cleaner, environmentally friendly and safe to use. It's unique formulation will not harm paint or glass surfaces. Simply follow the directions on the bottle and follow the cleaning with RAGGTOPP™ Protectant, a fluorocarbon re-water repelling system and your convertible top will look like new.
Q: How do I Protect my convertible top?
A: Although the fabric does not promote mildew growth by itself, mildew may develop on dirt and other foreign substances that are not removed. This is especially true in warm, humid, dark environments. A program of keeping the fabric clean through regular washings, BEFORE it gets dirty, will enhance the life and beauty of the acrylic and make successive cleaning easier.
Most automatic car washes will not harm cloth top fabrics. Washes with water jets and hanging cloths provide a more gentle cleaning action. Those using heavy barrel brushes could damage the top material. Haartz recommends hand washing.
Hand washing in shade or partial shade, not direct sunlight, is best. DO NOT USE DETERGENT. Bird and tree droppings, as well as other loose particle soils, should be removed immediately. Vacuum with a brush attachment and rinse thoroughly with water to remove loose particle soils. This will also prevent the soils from being redeposited during the cleaning process. Once the fabric has been rinsed thoroughly, spray RAGGTOPP™ Cleaner evenly over the entire surface while still wet.
Allow the cleaner to soak for 10 to 20 minutes and then scrub lightly with a soft nylon brush or terry cloth rag. Rinse thoroughly, preferably until no remaining soap foam is observed. Additional cleanings may be required. It is best to determine the need for additional cleanings after the fabric has dried completely.
For more stubborn cases, mix a solution of no more than 1/2 cup (4oz.) bleach and 1/4 cup (2oz.) RAGGTOPP™ Cleaner per gallon of water, soak for approximately 20 minutes and scrub lightly as indicated above. (Excessive soaking with the bleach solution can deteriorate seam threads.) Rinse thoroughly to prevent streaking on painted and chrome surfaces. Several cleanings may be necessary.
Once dry, cleaning must be followed by re-water repelling with RAGGTOPP™ Protectant. (This product does not contain CFC's and therefore, is not harmful to the environment.) Failure to apply will result in rapid resoiling of the unprotected fabric.

Ragg Top cleaner
June 26, 2016
The cleaner worked very well. A lot of dirt washed away after scrubbing with product. The brush wasn't shipped with the cleaner so I had to call and get it shipped after I received the order this set me back about 3 days. When I got the brush it shed bristles so bad I didn't even use it. It may make a good fingernail brush.

5 stars for RaggTopp Fabric Cleaner
March 29, 2015
When I bought a cabriolet the care and preservation of the black fabric top became very important. I did a lot of research about which product to use and RaggTopp always was very highly recommended. I bought the cleaner, the special brush and the follow up RaggTopp protectant product. Used as a system these 3 products have my top looking like new. I'm now on my second cabriolet (again a black fabric top) and the RaggTopp products will be used on this top as well.
RaggTopp cleaner is very effective when used with brush and protectant
I haven't been able to buy the cleaner in a large size - I've only found it in a small size.

Joel Stukalin, PHD, ABPP, FAACP, MS
135 WHITSON STREET, FOREST HILLS, New York 11375
As experienced, highly-credentialed clinical psychologists and couples counselors, Dr. Joel Stukalin and Dr. Sara Mandelbaum have the necessary background to conduct short-term or psychoanalystic psychotherapy with clients. This means that clients can decide to work on direct symptom-relief or more comprehensive therapy that may lead to a deeper understanding of inner-conflicts, self-aspirations and unconscious processes. In order to do our psychotherapy compassionately and effectively, Dr. Joel and Dr. Sara collaborate closely with clients to understand their initial motives and unfolding goals within the psychotherapy process. Clients often benefit from this higher standard of care.
Zalman Nelson, LMSW
Licensed Professional Therapist
Forest Hills, New York 11375
The courageous, caring, trusting, and mentoring relationship between therapist and client can guide and inspire a person to overcome and achieve. I deeply enjoy participating in the growth of my clients, helping them get free of the inaccurate messages, patterns, and beliefs of the past, and reclaim themselves and their hope for the future. In therapy, clients can see positive results in all areas of life: relationships, work, happiness, family.
Lisa Lempel-Sander, LPsyA
Licensed Psychoanalyst
221 Hollywood Avenue, Douglaston, New York 11363
Psychotherapy focuses on all of you: you and your relationship. It looks to understand who you are and how your partnership or marriage works, both practically, as well as deeply and even unconsciously. Psychotherapy offers you and your marriage the chance to get out from under the unconscious baggage that can destroy relationships and make you unhappy, anxious, and depressed. And, psychotherapy, more so than any other treatment modality, offers lasting relief from emotional pain and from the cycle of dysfunction that traps us and prevents us from living a satisfying life.
Priska Imberti, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
46-10 61st. Street, Woodside, New York 11377
Like most human experiences, I believe that Psychotherapy is a process. It needs a significant investment of time an energy and can be navigated in three stages: 1. Exploration; 2. Identification; 3. Change. My role as a therapist is to create the space for people to explore and identify some areas within themselves that they want to change and take the risk.
Kristie Doheny, PsyD,LMHC,LMSW, RPT
Licensed Mental Health Counselor & Master Social Worker
74-05 Metropolitan Ave Suite 2F, Middle Village, New York 11379
Each client will receive a personalized treatment plan based on their individual needs. We has bilingual staff that can conduct individual, couples, and family therapy in English or Spanish. Our staff's approach varies in style; however, we all incorporate a humanistic/non-judgmental approach. Our client's will benefit from psychotherapy services by gaining a greater sense of control over their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. We provide services from infancy throughout adulthood in order to promote growth and development in all aspects of the life of our clients.
Walter Masterson, LCSW
Psychotherapy and Counseling
Home visits, Nassau County, NY 11023
One of the most life altering actions when seeking to gain traction in the struggle to live a satisfying life is the choice to work with a therapist. It signaled a ground-breaking change in our approach to meeting the challenges we faced; demonstrating a shift that embraced the possibility of tapping into knowledge and support outside our own skull. Most of us have a better ability to see and understand the actions and motivation of others than our own. We all have personal blind spots. This is evident early in therapy, when one experiences striking progress as a result of new insights gained in therapy.
Lauren Levy, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
1623 Third Avenue Suite 202, , New York, New York 10128
My main goal as a therapist is to help people cope with and manage the thoughts, feelings and self defeating behaviors that have lead to their current problems. I do this in two ways. First, I help clients develop strategies to decrease negative thoughts so that they can focus on what they want to do, instead of focusing on thoughts that hinder them.. Secondly, I help clients explore underlying issues that may be contributing to their current problems. Clients benefit from this process by having all the information they need to make better informed decisions about life goals. It has been wonderful to see my clients make changes that have lead to more satisfactions and joy in their lives.
Chloe Carmichael, PhD
Clinical Psychologist
230 Park Ave, 10th floor, New York, New York 10169
There are two main ways to have therapy, which are described below. The best approach to help you get the results you want may involve a combination of styles or techniques. 1. Open-ended Therapy Sessions: Some people work towards the solutions best by having a weekly appointment and sharing whatever is on their mind in an open-ended way. This facilitates awareness and personal growth. 2. Structured Therapy Sessions: In structured sessions, a clear plan is always in place and you will know exactly what is going to happen at every session. You might be guided to practice particular skills or review certain types of interactions. Both approaches are helpful. We can tailor for your needs.
David Mark, MS, LCSW

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

Planet H2O- Where's the Water?
Seventy percent (70%) of the Earth's surface is covered with water and when viewed from space, our planet appears blue with a plentiful supply of water. However, clean, fresh water for drinking and irrigation is a scarce and valuable commodity in many parts of the world. Even though water is abundant on our planet, only a very small percentage can be used by humans and other organisms. This activity demonstrates the sources of water on our planet. Reduce Earth's water supply to 2 liters and then use common household items to represent the distribution of water on our planet. More than half a gallon is found in the oceans, inland seas, and salt lakes – water that is too salty to use. At the end of the activity, you will see that only about 1 teaspoon of our original 2 liters is readily available for human use – water that is found in rivers, lakes, streams, and underground aquifers.
Planet H2O- Bottled - vs- Tap: Which Tastes Better?
"Bottled water is a $50 billion-a-year industry worldwide, and people in the United States consume more bottled water than people in any other country. How is it different from what comes out of our taps? Is it really tastier, fresher and healthier – or is that just the advertising hype? The quality of tap water varies depending on where you live, and you can check on the EPA's Web site to find out if your community's water meets national standards. For most of us in the United States, tap versus bottled water is a personal choice."
Planet H2O- Water Supply and Demand
In this lesson, the students are instructed to imagine that they are in control of a small country. They are shown a pitcher that contains their country's water supply. They are then asked to make decisions on where the water should go. The students are given small containers that represent their needs and demands for water. Water is distributed from the supply pitcher for each one of their demands. About 2/3 of our water supplies goes to agriculture and food production. Two-thirds (2/3) of the water from the supply pitcher is poured into the "agriculture" container. Students then list other demands...drinking water, water for cleaning, etc. Students are then presented with other factors that will influence their supply and demand. An environmental factor, such as a drought, will mean that the affected part of the country will have an increased demand (water is distributed from the supply pitcher). A great increase in the human population in another part of the country will increase their demand as well (water is distributed from the supply pitcher). When the supply pitcher is almost empty, the topic of water scarcity arises. Water scarcity occurs when the demand for water out paces the supply and causes water shortages.

jOBS - Sneak Peek Clip
Reported by Outsiders - 2013.01.24
What movie is closing this year's Sundance Film Festival? Well, it's jOBS, the upcoming biopic from director Joshua Michael Stern (Swing Vote), in which Ashton Kutcher portrays a young Steve Jobs -- specifically during the early days of Apple computers when the ambitious tech wiz was trying to start up the company in 1971. After its Park City premiere, promotion for the film will continue next week at San Francisco's Macworld. Kutcher is scheduled to join co-star Josh Gad (who plays Job's right-hand man / Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak) for a live panel discussion.
But you don't have to wait until then to get a taste of their acting chemistry. Just check out this sneak peek clip from their movie which features both Kutcher as Jobs and Gad as Wozniak. Here, they are debating on whether computers have wide audience appeal. "No one wants to buy a computer," Gad says in the clip. Oh, how times have changed.
jOBS is set to open in theaters on April 19th -- a date that actually marks Apple's 37th anniversary.
We follow Steve Jobs (ASHTON KUTCHER) from the enthusiasm and self-discovery of his youth through his darkest days, brightest triumphs, and the ultimate power of his drive, his passions, and his undying will to change everything we thought possible. Dark, honest, and uncompromising, "Jobs" plunges into the depths of Steve Jobs' character, uncovering his driving motivations, his gifts, his flaws, his failures, and his ultimate successes.
jOBS stars Dermot Mulroney, James Woods, J.K. Simmons, Lesley Ann Warren, Ahna O'Reilly, Ron Eldard, Lukas Haas, Matthew Modine, Kevin Dunn

HUGE NEWS!! JANUARY 12th, 2016
HUGE NEWS: Amazonas Florestal Ltd. Announces Acquisition of Earth Pass LLC and Amazon Sustainable Development Corp http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/amazonas-florestal-ltd-announces-acquisition-earth-pass-llc-amazon-sustainable-development-otc-pink-azfl-2087245.htm MIAMI, FL--(Marketwired - Jan 12, 2016) - Amazonas Florestal, Ltd. (www.amazonasf.com) (OTC PINK: AZFL), a natural resources Company dedicated to innovative, sustainable forest management, the certification and sales of carbon credits, and Industrial Hemp, today announced that the Company has completed the acquisition of Earth Pass LLC (EPL), which becomes a fully-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Acquisition includes a fully licensed division in Brazil that has been producing wood products with their land holdings since 2007 under the name Amazon Sustainable Development Corp. It also includes 64,000 acres of native forest properties eligible for the certification of Carbon Credits through the United Nations REDD+ program. Ricardo Cortez, Chairman of the Board of Amazonas Florestal, stated: "This acquisition of these valuable assets will increase shareholder value considerably and open the door to substantial opportunities for the Company in Brazil. Amazonas Florestal, through its new subsidiary ASD, can now officially begin work on the studies that will certify the Carbon Credits available on the ASD properties. All of the necessary vehicles are now in place to begin the studies in February under the direction of Peter Stebbins and key personnel in Brazil that become part of the Company as a result of this new acquisition." J.C. Ubieto, Company IRO, stressed that "the conclusion of the due diligence in late December by Company representatives in Brazil means these much anticipated assets are now part of Amazonas Florestal. This opens many potentially lucrative doors in the large Brazilian nation. We have already been contacted by a number of agencies requesting information and offering project ideas to begin our Carbon Studies next month. The potential upside of this activity is significant and has focused interest on it. The COP20 meeting in Paris has created noteworthy interest and has focused attention on Carbon Credits and resulted in increased demand on the Voluntary Market for Carbon Credits."

Customer experience is fundamental to the success of every business. For most companies, in fact, customer experience is the single greatest predictor of whether customers will return — or defect to a competitor.
Customer experience goes to the heart of everything you do: how you conduct your business, how your people behave when they interact with customers and each other, and the value you provide. You literally can't afford to ignore it, because your customers take it personally each and every time they touch your products, your services, and your support.
In our new book, Outside In, my coauthor, Kerry Bodine, and I explore the real meaning of customer experience; prove the business benefits of delivering a great experience; and describe the six disciplines of customer experience leaders like American Express, JetBlue, Office Depot, and Vanguard. Our goal is to help readers understand why and how customer experience leads to profits — which it does, but only if you treat it as a business discipline.
Why is customer experience so important?
"Customer experience" is literally how your customers perceive their interactions with your company.
Those interactions occur at each step along a customer journey. That journey begins when people realize that you offer a product or service they might want, then compare your offer to other options. If things go your way, they'll buy from you. Then they'll use what they bought. If they encounter a problem, they'll call for support.

Pass Senate Bill 738 to end the criminalization of commercially sexually exploited children in California!
Currently in California, commercially sexually exploited children (CSEC), when discovered by police, are arrested, taken to delinquency court and then juvenile hall. SB 738 aims to change the system by placing these children under jurisdiction of the dependency court, therefore, treating them as victims rather than criminals. SB 738 also mandates culturally sensitive, trauma-informed care to CSEC victims in order to help them rebuild their lives.

Goldman Sachs Upgrades Group 1 Automotive
Goldman Sachs upgraded Group 1 Automotive (GPI ) to in-line from underperform.
Analyst Matthew Fassler says the appointment of a new CEO with an intensive automotive background provides a catalyst for improving results after several quarters of shortfalls. He notes Group 1 faces, on average, the easiest EBITDA margin comps in the auto retail group over the next four quarters.
He says the stock underperformed and trades at a discount to auto retail, not to mention the broader hardlines retail group. He notes inventory overages that constituted the biggest issue impeding auto retail EPS should subside, as promotions by domestic producers clear clogged channels. He says the company operates with a desirable brand mix.

Ten summer group exhibitions you should see (slide show)
TONY picks the summer's best group exhibitions.
Lisa Cooley, through July 26
This exhibition takes that age-old staple of Western art—the representation of the human figure—and reconsiders it within the context of the revolutionary changes in genetics and digital technology. The results are a bit weird, but no weirder than the world we now live in. Ed Atkins, Matthew Brannon, Carter, Antoine Catala, Helen Chadwick, Alice Channer, Anne Collier, Anthea Hamilton and Julie Verhoeven, Eva Kotátková and Jochen Lempert provide the works on view.
"Conspicuous Unusable"
Miguel Abreu Gallery, through August 17
Abreu's summer showcase strips things down to bare spatial essentials with Minimalist artworks both vintage and new. Highlights of the show include Rey Akdogan's contribution, in which the gallery's white tile floor has been pulled up; Charlotte Posenenske's odd air-duct whatsit; and Dorothea Rockburne's serial set of crude-oil–on-chipboard compositions.
"Folk Devil"
David Zwirner, July 11–August 9
Curated by Rodolphe von Hofmannsthal (Zwirner's associate director and the former proprietor of London's Dicksmith Gallery), "Folk Devil" takes its title from Stanley Cohen, a professor of sociology at the London School of Economics whose 1972 study, Folk Devils and Moral Panics, delved into the negative public and media reaction to the mods and rockers of the 1960s. His conclusion was that although the bonds between members of a subculture are artificial, they become reinforced—and thus genuine—when subjected to outside pressure. This point is meant to underscore Von Hofmannsthal's organizing principle: that most summer-group-show themes are totally made up. The art here is mostly, though not exclusively, Anglocentric, with works by numerous Brits, including Lynn Chadwick, Spartacus Chetwynd and Mike Nelson.
"Junkies' Promises"
Paul Kasmin Gallery, through August 2
Kasmin artist Iván Navarro curates this group show inspired by William S. Burroughs's classic 1953 novel, Junky. Navarro sees parallels between the provisional lifestyle of Burroughs's semiautobiographical character (an "unredeemed" drug addict) and the way artists develop their work, using "minimal economic resources" and "improvised strategies." Many of the works here are furniture-like or involve furniture, perhaps in keeping with the idea of maintaining some semblance of existence. Navarro himself contributes work, as do Deborah Kass, Josiah McElheny and Pipilotti Rist, among others.
"Made in Space"
Gavin Brown's Enterprise + Venus Over Manhattan, July 11–August 10
Space, in this case, means the City of Angels, since the 30-odd contributors to this two-gallery summer showcase uptown and down either live and work in Los Angeles or are associated with the sun-kissed metropolis in some fashion. As curated by Angeleno artists Peter Harkawik and Laura Owens, the show seems to abjure the dystopian view of L.A. assumed by authors ranging from Nathaniel West to Mike Davis, for a take that's more chill and, well, spacey.
"Mixed Message Media"
Gladstone Gallery, through August 2
Assembled by curator Neville Wakefield, this international roster of 15 artists offers up mostly sculptural works that weigh in on the ever-mutable nature of materials. Contributors include Claudia Comte, Lara Favaretto and Renata Lucas, among others.
"Noa Noa"
Metro Pictures, through August 2
Eight artists from Europe and the United States deconstruct the various ways in which the exotic has been portrayed as a staple of Western art since the era of colonialism. Nina Beier's "portraits" made with secondhand leopard-print clothes, Alex Israel's oversize sunglass lens and Adrien Missika's high-rise "winter garden" created out of household plants are just a few of the riffs on the subject.
"No Name"
On Stellar Rays, through July 25
Polymorphism, whether sexual or formal, appears to be the key to this group show of disparate works (by Zackary Drucker, Michael Mahalchick and Jennifer Sirey, among others) inspired, in part, by author Judith Halberstam's 2011 tome, The Queer Art of Failure, which proposes alternatives to success as a form of resistance against heteronormative society.
"On Nature"
Sean Kelly Gallery, through August 2
Nature as a subject, an inspiration and a source for art materials are unifying themes in this roundup of talents from the gallery's stable and elsewhere. Joseph Beuys, Vija Celmins and Antony Gormley are just a few of the featured names.
"Reinventing Abstraction"
Cheim & Read, through August 30
Curated by poet and critic Raphael Rubinstein, this show looks at a group of painters who, to varying degrees, undertook an individualistic, even eccentric, approach to abstraction during the 1980s, when the attention of the art world was otherwise focused on Neo-Expressionism, Neo-Geo and appropriation art. Carroll Dunham, Mary Heilmann, Bill Jensen, Elizabeth Murray, Joan Snyder and Terry Winters are some of the artists with works on view.

Rome - Berry College
On the road between the main campus of Berry College and the new mountain campus the 2-mile road is bordered by woods on both sides. In the days before there was a mountain campus students from Berry would go up into the woods to fool around. One such couple who attended Berry in the 40s is the subject of a tragic accident that occurred at Berry. After making love the young man and young woman got into an argument and the boy left his girlfriend in the woods to walk home alone while he drove. After driving a little while he felt sorry and turned around to pick her up. On the way back he wasnt paying attention to the road and he hit something. Assuming it was a deer he got out to look--and it was his lover! She was dead. To this day students at Berry say that if you go to the spot on the road where the girl died (it is not a bridge) and say Green lady green lady green lady that a pale green light will appear in the trees. This is her spirit.
