Release: Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates
Units: Persons, Not Seasonally Adjusted
Frequency: Annual
The U.S. Census Bureau provides annual estimates of income and poverty statistics for all school districts, counties, and states through the Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) program. The bureau's main objective with this program is to provide estimates of income and poverty for the administration of federal programs and the allocation of federal funds to local jurisdictions. In addition to these federal programs, state and local programs use the income and poverty estimates for distributing funds and managing programs.
Poverty universe is one of the data sources used in producing SAIPE program estimates, it is made up of persons for whom the Census Bureau can determine poverty status (either "in poverty" or "not in poverty"). The definition of poverty universe for SAIPE estimates is the same for 2006 and beyond and conceptually matches the poverty universe of the American Community Survey (ACS). The poverty universe estimates are not the same as the population estimates from the Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program. Instead, they are derived estimates that differ from population estimates in the following ways:
1. The poverty universe does not include children under the age of 15 who are not related to a reference person within the household by way of birth, marriage or adoption (for example, foster children). The reason is that Census Bureau surveys typically ask income questions only of persons age 15 or older and those under 15 related to a reference person within the household.
2. Beginning with 2006, the poverty universe includes group quarters populations only for noninstitutionalized group quarters, not elsewhere classified. Residents of college dormitories, military housing, and all institutional group quarters populations are excluded. The 2005 poverty universe estimates excluded all group quarters' residents, matching the definition of the 2005 ACS. Prior to the estimates for 2005, the poverty universe data were derived from the Annual Social and Economic Supplement of the Current Population Survey. This marks a break in the data series due to a methodology change.

Around the Web: A Month in Summary
A recent article posted on the Axial Forum entitled "What Do Buyers Look for in the Lower Middle Market?" explains how to make your business valuable to potential buyers and how to find the right buyers for your business. The buyers in the lower middle market are usually strategic buyers, financial buyers, private equity firms, and search fund advisors.
Buyers in this market are generally looking for the following characteristics:
- A strong management team who has incentive and is prevented from competing against the company if their employment is terminated
- Stability and predictability of revenue and cash flow
- Low customer concentration
- Other value drivers such as state-of-the-art operating systems
- High level of preparedness
The article warns about the biggest obstacles for owners. Business owners should consult with experienced deal attorneys and investment bankers before speaking to any buyers. They should also consult with advisors before the company goes on the market to make sure the business is properly prepared for sale. A business owner's management team may also be subject to rigorous professional assessment and background checks if a private equity or financial buyer is interested.
Currently in the marketplace, buyers are offering amounts higher than the historical norms. This means that along with the higher sale prices, sellers are subject to more scrutiny through due diligence. This is all the more reason for a seller to be prepared and to work with experienced advisors to get their business ready for sale.

A recent article from the Axial Forum entitled "5 Ways Sell-Side Customer Diligence Can Maximize Sale Prices" explains how third-party sell-side customer diligence has become increasingly more common and why it can help sellers maximize and justify sale prices. Here are the 5 ways this due diligence can help you get the best sale price:
- Determine if it's the right time for a sale – Positive customer feedback can help reinforce the decision to sell, and neutral or negative feedback can help improve the company so it will be better prepared for a sale.
- Attract and persuade buyers – Your confidential information memorandum (CIM) will show how strong customer relationships are, how your market share has grown, how the business has become more competitive, and more. Thorough documentation of the health of customer relationships will also help attract buyers.
- Control the message – Having the seller contact their customers reduces the risk of anyone being tipped off about the sale and also allows for the seller to provide a better interpretation of the results.
- Prove there is a clear path for future growth – Pre-sale due diligence can help justify the ways in which the company can grow in the future.
- Accelerate the timeline – Having customer diligence done ahead of time will speed up the process so the buyer doesn't have to do it.
Sell-side due diligence gives the buyer a good overall assessment of customer relationships while also allowing the seller to control the process of the findings and substantiate their asking price.

A recent article from Inc.com entitled "The Art of Finding the Right Buyer for Your Business" gives us three essential items to consider when selling a business.
- Set goals – The first step is to set goals for the future of your business, yourself and your family. You'll want to consider factors such as how the transaction will affect your employees, if you will continue on as a team member or transition out of the company, and what your overall goals for the company are. This will help you and your advisor customize the sale process.
- Explore options – Be sure to know the difference between a private equity group and a strategic corporate buyer, and find out how they can benefit your business. There are also "family offices," which are investors who manage the wealth of a family or multiple families, but they hold a business forever.
- Keep an open mind – It's especially important in the beginning to stay open to both types of buyers and find a good advisor who can help guide you towards the right buyer. Whether they are a financial buyer or a strategic buyer, you don't know how they are going to handle the future of a company until you get to know them.

A recent article from the M&A Source entitled "Gold Rush: New Entrepreneurs Seek Search Funds to Finance Takeovers of Baby Boomer Businesses" explains how new entrepreneurs are looking for funding to take over businesses as the baby boomer generation starts to retire. There is currently an entrepreneurial generational gap with far less young entrepreneurs than there are baby boomers looking to sell. Healthy financial trends paired with recent tax reforms have contributed to making ideal conditions for the new generation of small business owners.
This new generation of entrepreneurs is coming from recent MBA graduates who are choosing to acquire a business instead of heading to Wall Street. Most notably, they are doing things differently when it comes to financing by turning to the search fund model which is seeing unprecedented growth as of late. This process known as entrepreneurship through acquisition (ETA) is also becoming increasingly popular in business schools which are now offering ETA programs.
It is believed that this trend is going to continue and that the timing is right. More schools are increasing awareness about it and the model will get easier as more baby boomers retire and sell their businesses. As more big money sources see this model gain popularity, there will be more money to support this growth as well.

A recent article posted by Divestopedia entitled "Avoiding the Biggest Deal Killer: Time" tells us that the key to a successful deal is preparation and momentum. This means that the seller should be fully ready when the business hits the marketplace, not when the first offer is made.
To keep the momentum going, there are 14 factors to consider:
- Know when it is a good time to sell your business
- Know why you want to sell
- Know the company's strengths and weaknesses
- Know what you will do after you sell your business
- Know the value of your business
- Have a realistic asking price
- Be sure you are current on all taxes
- Make sure operational details are organized and recorded
- Know that the business can operate without you
- Know your company's place in the market
- Be prepared with accurate financial statements, tax returns, and financial reports
- Know that your team of trusted advisors is ready
- Have a growth and marketing plan for your buyer
- Know what is most important to you so you can stay focused on the key issues and not worry too much over minor details

I am not a recipe writer. But I once cooked every weekend, almost always from recipes: Craig Claiborne's first New York Times Cookbook won cheers at my table. I have never made anything from a Marcella Hazan cookbook that wasn't delicious. I cooked from Michael Field's Cooking School book and Simca's Cuisine too. Julia's three page recipes were intimidating but I mastered a few of them too and over the years collected three shopping bags full of tangled clippings I can't bring myself to throw away. In the olden days everyone stole recipes, or perhaps we should say…forgot where they got their favorites…. added an ingredient and called it their own. I am probably guilty of that larceny myself. But the recipes here are dishes I did cook and still do. I might add more as I collect them from my friends who cook all the time.

Knee Dislocations & Multiple Ligament Knee Injuries
The knee is a complex joint of the body which is vital for movement. The four major ligaments of the knee are anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament and lateral collateral ligament. They play an important role in maintaining the stability of the knee. An injury resulting in tear of one or more ligaments of the knee thus affects knee stability. Such injuries occur because of direct blow to the knee, or a fall from a height, or motor vehicle trauma. Multiple ligament knee injuries are common in athletes involved in contact sports such as soccer, football and basketball. Patients with multi-ligament knee injuries may experience pain, swelling, limited range of motion, injuries to nerves and arteries of the leg, and knee instability.
Sometimes, knee pain due to other injuries results in involuntary movements that give the sensation of instability. A thorough examination by an experienced doctor is very crucial for the correct diagnosis of multiligament instability.
Lower grade injuries may be treated without surgery with a combination of bracing and appropriately directed physical therapy. Treatment of grade III (complete tear) multiligament injuries requires surgery. Moreover, unlike grade III single ligament injury, the surgery is usually performed soon after the injury and often involves more than one surgery.
The surgical reconstruction is usually performed by a combination of open and arthroscopic techniques. The surgery involves reconstruction of the torn ligament using a tissue graft taken from another part of the body, or from a donor. The damaged ligament is replaced by the graft and fixed to the femur and tibia using metallic screws. Gradually, over a period of few months, the graft heals.
After the multi-ligament knee reconstruction surgery, crutches may be required for 6 to 8 weeks. Most patients can also return to their high-level sport after a period of rehabilitation.

The Elven is a fantasy fiction webcomic set in the fantasy world called Theelven (Thayl-vehn). The plot takes place on the lost continent of Valdeterra (aka Thevalde, /Theh-vahl-day/). 7 races of elven explorers, two from each race, are split into three groups, searching Valdeterra for good places to colonize. While they are exploring, they face the dangers of the unknown, potential saboteurs, the elements, and their fears.
Each is under the influence of a translation spell which allows them to understand the languages of their fellow explorers. Each is also responsible to their separate home nations, and must not build any structures and above all must not get emotionally or romantically involved with each other.

I can't believe that it has been so long since I last made a grilled cheese sandwich! I guess I was all grill cheesed out after grilled cheese month!
With summer here I could not resist using some of the beautiful fresh fruit in a grilled cheese sandwich starting with cherries. I always enjoy the melted brie and fruit combo and it also just happens to be fantastic in a grilled cheese sandwich so it is my cheese of choice for this sandwich. Instead of throwing the fresh cherries into the sandwich I roast them a bit first to both concentrate their flavour and to remove some of their moisture, since nobody likes a soggy sandwich. Before roasting the cherries I like to toss them in balsamic vinegar which brightens them up a bit and helps bring out their flavour but brandy or port are also great options. The next component of this sandwich, a touch of dark chocolate, might be a bit of a surprise but it works so amazingly well! Chocolate and cherries were meant for each other and the duo is only made better by the addition of plenty of melted brie! Although this balsamic roasted cherry, dark chocolate and brie grilled cheese sandwich might sound a bit odd, it is a truly magical flavour combination that is pure magic in your mouth!
Is this dessert? Is it dinner? Does it matter? It's all sorts of good!
This grilled cheese sandwich is also amazing with other fruit and berries that go well with chocolate like raspberries and strawberries.
You just have to love those burnt bits of cheese that oozed out the sides!
Balsamic Roasted Cherry, Dark Chocolate and Brie Grilled Cheese Sandwich
A summery grilled cheese sandwich with balsamic roasted cherries, dark chocolate and plenty of melted brie.
- 1/2 cup cherries, pitted and halved
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (or brandy or port)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 slices bread
- 1 1/2 ounces brie, room temperature
- 1 ounce dark chocolate, chopped, room temperature
- Toss the cherries in the balsamic vinegar, place them on a baking sheet in a single layer, roast in a preheated 450F/230C oven for 15-20 minutes.
- Heat a pan over medium heat.
- Butter one side of each slice of bread, place one slice in the pan with buttered side down, top with half of the cheese, the chocolate, cherries, the remaining cheese and finally the other slice of bread with buttered side up.
- Grill until golden brown and the cheese and chocolate has melted, about 2-4 minutes per side.

It's MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep.
And I'm Renee Montagne.
Look at the electoral maps put up by political analysts and a few things become clear: President Obama holds an advantage in the state-by-state electoral votes that determine this fall's election.
INSKEEP: But his lead in several key states is narrow, and as of now, the red and blue maps put up by those analysts suggest he is still short of the 270 votes he would need to win.
MONTAGNE: A handful of states will make the difference, including the state we visit next.
The president campaigns today in Colorado, trying to hold onto a state he won in 2008. Mitt Romney campaigned last week in that state, which voted twice for George W. Bush.
NPR's Scott Horsley reports on a Rocky Mountain showdown.
SCOTT HORSLEY, BYLINE: In a suburban strip mall south of Denver, a group of seniors has assembled for their twice-weekly campaign assignment. Each Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, they gather in a small office between a liquor store and a nail salon and spend a couple of hours making phone calls on behalf of President Obama.
Michael Lenzini spent his working years building a number of different marketing companies. Now that he's retired, he's marketing the president.
MICHAEL LENZINI: The president has my interests at heart. President Obama, as opposed to Romney, is the only one who can deliver what's going to keep this country together.
HORSLEY: This office sits near the boundaries of Jefferson, Arapahoe and Douglas counties, which together form a semicircle around the city of Denver.
The population of Douglas County mushroomed by 62 percent in the last decade. Lenzini, who's a longtime resident of the area, says the politics are changing, as well.
LENZINI: We look around for more Democratic friends.
LENZINI: We know many of our neighbors are Republicans. But we would probably say they were closer to us, being more moderate and centrist.
HORSLEY: In fact, these suburbs have become a kind of swing region within this swing state. Four years ago, Mr. Obama's success in the suburbs helped him carry Colorado easily. But Mitt Romney's hoping to win those voters back.
During his own campaign trip to the state last week, Romney gave the president a failing grade for his handling of the economy.
MITT ROMNEY: We have 23 million Americans today that are out of work or underemployed, people who have pulled out of the workforce - 23 million.
HORSLEY: Some of those discouraged workers could be found this week at the Holiday Inn on Colorado Boulevard, making their pitch to a handful of recruiters sitting at folding tables around the edge of a ballroom.
Denise Buckheiser moved here from Texas, looking for administrative or laboratory work, so far without success.
DENISE BUCKHEISER: Right now, I'm ready to go work at McDonalds, honestly, just to have a job. So, that's the point I'm at. I'm living with family. I'm one of those people that's with family, living off the kindness of strangers. So, yeah, it's very scary right now.
HORSLEY: Unemployment in Colorado is on par with the rest of the country. While the depths of the recession here were not as deep, the recovery has been painfully slow.
Brad Hatfield brought a stack of resumes to the job fair, but came away empty-handed.
BRAD HATFIELD: It's still a lot of jobs out there, but that are 10 to 12 bucks an hour, to be honest, and not a lot of the professional jobs that I would say were here five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10 years ago.
HORSLEY: Colorado actually lost nearly 7,000 jobs between May and June. Buckheiser and Hatfield aren't convinced that either Mr. Obama or Romney has the answer.
BUCKHEISER: I don't like either one of them right now.
HATFIELD: I don't think it's going to change much, no matter who's elected.
HORSLEY: That disillusionment is something both candidates have to overcome, especially Mr. Obama, whose coalition includes more young and minority voters whose turnout is less reliable.
That's why the president's team has invested heavily in efforts like the senior phone bank, and why the campaign has opened 32 field offices around the state - three times as many as Romney.
Political scientist Seth Masket of the University of Denver looked at the effect of those field offices in 2008 and found they boosted Democratic turnout by one to two percentage points. That could make a difference in a tight race.
SETH MASKET: Of all the different ways that a campaign can contact a voter, overwhelmingly, knocking on someone's door is the most effective way. It's also the most labor and time-intensive. So it's something that's much harder to get people to do. And if you have a bunch of money, it's easier to just put a bunch of ads on. But those actually have a much more muted effect.
HORSLEY: Not that the candidates are giving up on TV ads. After a brief respite following last month's shootings in Aurora, Colorado, the broadcast battle is filling the state's airwaves again.

Constructed around 1806, the Bank of Potomac building at 415 Prince St. appeared on bank notes that may have been the earliest visual print of any structure in Alexandria. The illustration shows that three and one-half-story building with Flemish bond brickwork and stone trim had four bays, two arched doorways and a single dormer, just as it does today.
In 1847, the Bank of Potomac merged with the Farmers Bank, but bank operations ended in the fall of 1861 during Alexandria's Civil War occupation. In 1862, Union officers used part of the building for offices and in 1863 it became the headquarters of the Restored Government of Virginia. After the western Virginia counties loyal to the Union became the State of West Virginia, Governor Francis H. Pierpont relocated the capital of the Restored Virginia — consisting of Alexandria, Norfolk and other Union-occupied areas — from Wheeling to 415 Prince St.
After the war, the structure became an insurance office and later the offices for the Alexandria Water Company. The property, sometimes known as Marbury House for the family that owned it, was sold in the early 20th century and converted to apartments. The apartment building was called The Virginia and after extensive interior renovations around 1959, not long after this photograph was taken, it was became known as The Statehouse, a reference to its days as a capitol building.
Another owner obtained a preservation easement with the Virginia Historic Landmarks Board in 1987 to protect the historically significant property which today is a private residence.

Should I Insure My Home Based Business?
A home-based business is any business with its primary office located in the owner's home, regardless of type or size. Many well known companies began as home-based, including Apple, Baskin-Robbins, Hallmark, and Purex, as stated by Entrepreneur. With so much that can be done online, operating virtually from home is more feasible than ever today.
A business operated from the comfort of your home is still a business, and it needs to be insured, the same as any other operation. Homeowners insurance and renters insurance will not cover home-based businesses. With the potential for business liabilities today, you would be wise to have some combination of business insurance policies in place.
What Types of Insurance Coverage Does a Home-Based Business Need?
The insurance you need for your home-based business will depend on your industry or business. Our experienced agent can help you determine what types of coverage to purchase. The following are some common types of home based business insurance:
- Business property: If you use any equipment to operate your home based business, it should be insured against damage or loss. This may include a computer, printer, fax, office furniture, etc.
Business equipment is generally not covered by homeowners policies, in case of a fire, flood, or other disaster. - Liability: This coverage protects your business from liability for damage caused to another person or property. If a carrier making a business delivery to your home is injured in a slip and fall on your property, you need liability insurance. Your homeowners insurance will not cover it.
- Commercial auto: Your personal automobile insurance will not cover the use of your vehicle for business purposes. If you are involved in an accident, for example, while visiting a client, or picking up or delivering items for your business, you need commercial auto insurance to be covered.
- Professional liability: Whether they are working in or out of the home, professionals need professional liability insurance for protection against claims made by clients or patients for negligence, failure to deliver, malpractice, misrepresentation, or mistakes. This type of coverage is necessary for doctors, lawyers, accountants, engineers, realtors, and any professional with expertise in a particular area. Professional liability is specialty coverage not provided under in-home business policies or homeowners endorsements.
- Product liability: If your home based business manufactures or supplies a product, speak with our agent about product liability insurance. This coverage protects your business against product liability claims for damages or injuries caused by a product it designed, manufactured, or supplied.
- Workers' comp: If your home based business has employees, you may need workers' compensation insurance. In some states, this coverage is mandatory if you have even one employee. Workers' comp covers work-related injuries and illnesses. If your employee is injured on the job, it will cover related medical expenses and reimburse your employee for a portion of his or her lost wages.
Sit down with our knowledgeable agent to discuss the types of insurance you may need for your home based business. We can help you find the right coverage for the best available rates.

Understanding Business Continuity
When the sky is falling on your business, can you make it through the storm?
For the average business owner, business continuity is looked upon as a secondary system that is put in place to protect the investments the business has made. Since the platform doesn't have much to do with a business' day-to-day operations, often times some aspects of a business' continuity strategy is overlooked; a major mistake that the business owner will realize when it is suddenly too late.
Understanding the elements of a comprehensive business continuity strategy is advantageous for any business owner or executive that is tasked to ensure the business' operations are sustained. To design a solution that is right for your organization, you will first have to pinpoint the elements that make up a successful continuity strategy, and thoroughly implement them.
Why Enact a Business Continuity Plan?
The fact is that your company's health is a human issue. A healthy business that supports numerous workers not only provides a good or service to consumers, it provides food, shelter, transportation, education, and more for the people employed there and their families. This is true for every business, which is why it is crucial to have some assurances in place when tragedy strikes. When data is lost or when systems that these people and their families depend on fail, there needs to be a strategy to get operations up and running again fast. Whether you have two employees or two thousand, operational sustainability is crucial to every single one of their livelihoods.
What are the Elements of a Business Continuity Strategy?
A working and thorough continuity strategy is not just a set of protocols that are enacted when something terrible happens. It is a continually changing, fluid strategy that will allow you to sustain operations through any number of issues that have the potential to hinder your organization's progress. Each element of a continuity strategy is the direct result of another element, while being the cause for another.
Element I - Initiation
In the initiation phase of a business continuity strategy the concerned party needs to determine what exactly the objective of the continuity plan is, the general scope of the coverage under that plan, and who in your organization is going to carry out the protocol's outlined in the plan.
Element II - Analysis
In the analysis phase, you will conduct a business impact analysis (BIA) and a threat and risk analysis (TRA), and as the plan begins to come together the analysis of any impact scenarios that have been carried out allows an organization to adjust the other variables to best protect against the major threats.
The BIA will essentially separate the critical organizational functions from those that aren't critical to the sustainability of operations. Once those have been determined each critical function will be assigned a recovery point objective (RPO) and a recovery time objective (RTO). The recovery point objective of a function is the acceptable amount of data loss that the organization can allow, while the recovery time objective is the acceptable amount of time it will take to restore the data needed to sustain operations. Under the BIA, an organization will also want to identify a maximum tolerable period of disruption (MTPOD). This is the maximum amount of time that an organization has to restore core systems before the stakeholders of the endeavor begin to consider their investments to be in serious jeopardy.
The TRA will pinpoint potential threats that face a business. Some of today's major threats include:
- Cyber attacks
- Sabotage or user error
- Power cut
- Hardware failure
- Sickness
- Natural disasters
- Fire
- On or off-site utility outage
Each of these (and often many more) have to be considered in order to properly determine the recovery objectives for each threat. This way, you have a complete understanding exactly where your organization stands when it is beset with some sort of adversity.
Element III - Continuity Plan Design
Once the groundwork is finished, the plan can start to be designed. The first element an organization should consider is who will be responsible for the implementation of the continuity plan if it needs to be launched. At this point a team should be assembled and assigned very specific roles that all carry essential tasks. You will want to identify who is in charge of what and be sure that all members of the continuity team know how to contact other members of the team to enhance the prospects of successfully launching the program proficiently and quickly.
During this part of the plan, decision makers will also want to develop some strategies, such as:
- A backup and recovery strategy
- Continuity execution strategy
- Escalation, notification, and activation strategies
- Administration strategy
By pinpointing the solutions that will be needed, the continuity team can begin to plan which solutions they would seek out as a part of the continuity strategy.
Element IV - Implementation
In the design phase, the team will pinpoint the solutions that are needed to provide the best chance at complying with their continuity goals. In this phase of the project, however, all the planning and designing of the solution is finally implemented. Some of the variables that need to be set in motion at this stage of the project include:
- Emergency response procedures
- Detailed recovery procedures
- Continuity activation procedures
- Purchase of recovery resources
- Ensure recovery team's responsibilities
Now that everything is in place and the whole team understands their responsibilities, it is crucial that an organization does not become complacent. While there may have been a thorough design and thorough understanding of the plan, to execute a plan requires the final step in the business continuity strategy.
Element V - Testing and Maintenance
An organization that doesn't frequently test the limits of its continuity plan may run into problems with their continuity plan when it's needed. A comprehensive business continuity plan requires careful and conscientious consideration of every element in order to work properly. By testing and maintaining the continuity plan periodically, an organization can ensure that when the worst happens, that they are ready to react quickly.
To protect the people that depend on your business, a thorough and well designed continuity plan is a must.

David Oliver Relin, a journalist who had reported from around the world before gaining fame — and getting mired in controversy — as co-author of the best-selling Three Cups of Tea, took his own life when he died on Nov. 15 in Oregon, The New York Times reports.
It got that word from Relin's family.
The Associated Press adds that deputy Multnomah County medical examiner Peter Bellant confirmed last Sunday night that Relin died of "blunt force head injury" and that it was a suicide. Bellant did not give more details, the AP says.
Relin, 49, was born in Rochester, N.Y. He was, according to a Democrat and Chronicle obituary, a "graduate of Vassar College and Iowa Writers' Workshop ... an investigative journalist and editor for Parade and Scholastic's React and Update magazines. His articles on social issues and their effect on children, both in the U.S. and around the world received dozens of journalism awards."
NPR's Neda Ulaby tells our Newscast Desk that Relin "had long published heartwarming stories for magazines that often focused on children set in the developing world."
His next book, Second Suns, Two Doctors and Their Amazing Quest to Restore Sight and Save Lives, is to be published next year. It's about physicians who perform cataract surgery in the Third World, Neda says.
Relin will be most remembered, though, for Three Cups of Tea. It's the 2006 best-selling story of Greg Mortenson (the co-author), his claim to have stumbled into the Pakistani village of Korphe after a failed attempt to climb Pakistan's K2, and the charity he later created to build schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
CBS News' 60 Minutes and author Jon Krakauer raised questions last year about some of the tales Mortenson told. Then Mortenson was forced to repay $1 million to a charity he founded after Montana authorities found he had mismanaged some of its money.
Mortenson and Relin disputed who should have gotten most of the credit for the writing of Three Cups. Mortenson has conceded that some details in Three Cups were wrong, but says the bulk of the book is factual. Relin never commented publicly about the charges. Earlier this year, "a class-action lawsuit against Mortenson, Relin and others was dismissed ... but is under appeal," The Oregonian writes.

Launch Code Frequently Asked Questions
Q) Can you add another city to the list of available cities in the Launch Code program?. A) The list of cities shown is the cities in which the National Weather Service has forecast for. We believe that this list is the most current available but from time to time we do omit a city without knowing. You can check our list against the NWS list by visiting this page and comparing it to our list of cities. If you find a city not listed on our site, please contact us and we will add the forecast to our database. Q) The Launch Code time is 3 hour time blocks. What is the forecast for other times than the ones shown? A) The National Weather Service only provides the data in 3 hour blocks. You can estimate what the forecast might be at a particular time by using the times before and after the time you want. The temperature and wind speed graphs utilizes such an estimate by connecting the data with a straight line. Q) How accurate is the forecast? A) You local accuracy may vary from week to week and season to season. We have found that the forecast are generally accurate and often very close. We do get the occasional email that complains about the accuracy but 99% of all emails concerning accuracy have spoken highly of the quality of the forecast. Just remember that there are no guarantees of accuracy or suitability for a particular purpose. The National Weather Service has performed accuracy test on their forecast data. The results of these tests can be found at http://www.nws.noaa.gov/mdl/synop/smbpublications.php Q) Does the time correspond to the middle of the box or to either the left or right side of the column? A) The times shown going across the page is representative of the middle of the column that it is in. Q) Are the altitudes MSL or AGL? A) Altitudes are based upon Above Ground Level (AGL) for the height of cloud base. Q) Does the cloudbase / ceiling range show the forecasted top and bottom of the clouds? A) No. The cloudbase / ceiling is the elevation range of the bottom of the cloud. There is no reference given to the top of the cloud. Q) What is an Azimuth? A) See this page for help with understanding azimiths Q) I have noticed that the date on the raw data screen and National Weather Service web page is different than the date shown on the Launch Code forecast page. Why? A) At first glance it may look like the dates generated by the Launch Code program are different. Actually there is no difference in the time the weather events occur. The data from the National Weather Service and the raw data screen is based upon Universal Time Code or UTC. UTC is the time in London England. If the date of the UTC is for 0100 on July 4th or 1:00 am July 4th then this would equate to 9:00 PM on July 3rd for the east coast of the USA (DST). Why? Just as there is a difference in New York time and California time, there is a difference in UTC time and your local time. The Launch Code program automatically converts the UTC time to the local time of the forecast city. Q) Why are the humidity, dew point, and the temperature dew point spread important. A) See this page for help with understanding humidity, dew point, and spread and how it interacts with flying. Q) Why can't I see the entire forecast on my computer screen without having to scroll to the right? A) If you can't see the entire forecast without scrolling left and right, you can change your screen resolution. For Windows users, simply right click anywhere on an empty space on your desktop, select properties, select settings, then select your screen resolution by sliding the screen resolution bar to the right. This page is best viewed with a 1280 x 1024 or larger screen resolution.

If you're in the business of connecting with the who's who of the celebrity world, then The Handbook is nothing short of a digital Aladdin's lamp. I'm living proof of the doors it can open. Ten years ago, as a hopeful entrepreneur with a dream to weave my brand into the fabric of high-profile fashion, I stumbled upon The Handbook. Little did I know, it would dramatically pivot my business journey.
I used The Handbook's subscription service to dive into a sea of opportunity, seeking to dress the best in the world. With a user-friendly interface and a treasure trove of verified contact information, it was my master key to the elusive world of celebrity influence. The real game-changer? The added insight of social media statistics, which helped tailor my pitches to the perfect audience.
The outcome was beyond expectation. My first breakthrough came with a response from the boxing sensation, Amir Khan. That first engagement was the cornerstone of a lasting friendship and professional relationship, exemplifying the power of the right connection. Amir wasn't just a client; he became a friend and a window to the world of combat sports celebrity styling.
But The Handbook didn't just start my journey; it skyrocketed my brand, Claudio Lugli, into the stratosphere. I reached the likes of Conor McGregor, crafting suits for the sports giant, and then, the 'Gypsy King' Tyson Fury – my label now proudly stands as the exclusive designer for the undefeated heavyweight champion.
Fast forward to 2023, and The Handbook remains an integral part of my entrepreneurial toolkit, this time for my talent management venture, THE SOCIAL CHAMP LTD. It's been a decade-long partnership that has seen my brand and business flourish through invaluable celebrity collaborations.
I owe a significant chapter of my success story to The Handbook. For anyone serious about building meaningful relationships in the celebrity sphere, The Handbook is the subscription service you need. Here's to another decade of transformative connections – Thank you, Handbook!
Rated Excellent on Trustpilot!

Interviewer: > Sarah Cook Interviewee: > Peter Weibel
Peter Weibel: The first task of a curator working on the web is to find out the criteria of what work is only adequate for the net and to develop criteria for works that are non-local. Most of the artworks in history are locally bound, which means the spectator and the artwork itself share the same space. Even with media works this is important - in a media installation you share the same space. For the first time with the net, the spectator and the work are dislocated, separate; they don't share the same space. It is important to look for works and the criteria that are appropriate to this condition. The next thing is the classical function of a curator: selection. Anybody could go to any artist and say, "I want to see your work." Hypothetically they have the possibility to travel to Germany and Italy and England and have a list of artists and have addresses and phone numbers. But there are social obstacles - namely, artists will not open their doors to just anybody because the artist is also an entrepreneur - he needs money, he needs managing - so he will only open his doors to people he thinks are useful to him. People have this romantic belief of how art functions, but truthfully, a normal spectator doesn't count for anything in the art system. This is the undemocratic truth. If a famous curator from a famous place calls an artist, he would say, 'please come ...'. So the job of a curator is to select artists and to bring this work together so that the public can see it. And this is the same for the net. People do not have the time to go through the hundreds of thousands of works on the net, so we have to create sites that are curated. People then know that if they want to save time that curators will always provide orientation and navigation to the works. So you have to trust, when you visit a curated site, that you will see a hundred excellent works dealing with the conditions of the net. This is the classical function of a curator and it is also necessary on the net as it is necessary in the museum. People say, 'why should I need a curator on the net?' And I say 'for the same reasons that you need a curator for the paintings. The paintings are available, but you don't have the chance to see them.' They say, 'I can look at home at net art' and I say, 'You would not know where to go because you don't have the address. There are hundreds of thousands of artists on the net but you would never find them, it would take you years.' But if somebody has the time to concentrate and to select then you can just click and then you can see it. And this is the second function of media curator. The next is for me the most interesting function of a curator and that is to understand the technology as a tool. That means a curator can know even more than the artist can. He can study theory and then can commission a work. This would be the next step - the curator as producer, or impresario, as in the field of cinema. A cinema producer says 'I have an idea but I need a scriptwriter, I need a director, I need an actor.' So a curator can say, 'according to my knowledge, according to my expertise, I think we have to develop something new.' And then he can look around and see whom the people are who do this. A curator then is not someone who takes care of an existing work but a producer commissioning a new work. This is the most interesting aspect of curatorial work. It means, for example, when we have installation systems, when we have artificial intelligence, then as curators, we have to think of what these new entities consist of and what they can they do for the net. So the curator's job is not only to make an exhibition of existing work or traditional work, as in a museum. A curator also has to remember that a virtual museum can consist of additional work, being rendered two-dimensionally or digitally; it can be media work. So the most important other thing is to develop new things that another museum cannot do, what I call new formats. A curator can ask 'how can I combine photography, video, computer, and the Internet? What could be a new format, a new way of story telling, or a new lifestyle, new activities?' And then you have to find the people - poets, singers, songwriters - not to make a song for a record, not to make a poem for a book, but to think about what can be done for the net, and then develop something specifically for it. These are the four basic principles. Sarah Cook: Following the principle of selection, how did you research the works in net_condition? Do you work from recommendations, do you talk to artists and find out what they're looking at? PW: Yes, everything that you've just said. SC: What about how the web has changed your working practice? Do you go to the festivals - which do you find useful? Do you do studio visits online? Do you first communicate with artists by email, do you do traditional studio visits? Where do you look for new work? Do you subscribe to any of the listservs? PW: Theoretically I would subscribe, but purely practically, being burdened by so much work as head of the institution, I don't have the time to participate. But this is truly just a practical reason. About the festivals, I have to tell you the terrible truth that I have never been to them. I was only at Ars Electronica as long as I was the director. But I have never been to Siggraph, nor Doors of Perception, or any of these festivals. And I don't think it is necessary. Which is why I don't organise a festival here. When I started at ZKM they had the 'Multimediale,' and I stopped it, because this festival had a historical role that is now over. The role of Multimediale was (in the 80s, and beginning of 90s), to promote media art, to make it more widely accepted. For example, in 1972 nobody knew about Bruce Nauman, Bill Viola, about Woody and Steina Vasulka, about Nam June Paik. But today, when Nam June Paik attracts a mass audience and is as popular as Mickey Mouse, then it is because of the festivals promoting media art. Media art festivals have now become a routine element. It is no longer a forum where you have new subjects, new issues, new ideas, and new names. So this pivotal agency or role that festivals had - to play the motor of acceleration, of investigation, motivation of innovation - is over now. The first period of my research is just telematic - by writing, phoning, and mailing around - and only when I think I have to speak to the person in person, to be at the place (which is usually the case to support my judgement) do I go there. But what is useful is actually to go to some places to discover new artists that are not part of this electronic community. Many artists are a little bit difficult, or shy, or have bad connections, or hate each other, so they will say 'I'm the only one here in this whole city, there's nothing here,' and you cannot trust them. You have to go there and find out there still are other existing artists, to see there are others beside this one you have already approached. So in the end local research is also necessary to get, as much as possible, an objective image. But first of all - this is my approach and maybe it is not an approach many people share - you need a theory. A theory is a tool to discover something. You can go to the jungle without a map, but it will take you a long time to discover what a jungle is. But a map is a theory so you know what you are looking for. Naturally during the trip your perceptions change, because a map is not an exact representation, but is a start. With a theory (a tool, a map, an idea) you can make your journey and during the journey the theory changes and you say 'ah, I made a mistake, I have to reconstruct my tool.' But this takes a lot of time and what is very important is to know what you don't see. When you go to a studio, or when you look at a paper you need what is called 'selective perception.' Without a theory in mind you might look through a magazine and not even realize what you are looking at. If you don't have this selective criteria in mind, then you won't find the interesting works. This is the starting point. Then you ask artists, then you read magazines, then you ask for recommendations from artists, from curators, and you follow every little piece of paper you find. But first you have to have a theoretical framework. SC: What you've just described can be said to be true of traditional curatorial practice also. I'm interested to know how you think the field of curating has changed as a result of new media art. PW: I would say the challenge of media curating is much greater than that faced by a normal curator, because there are so many books about painting and sculpture that it is difficult to make an error. But when you have a field like new media there is not much information in the field. There is a theoretical framework of painting and sculpture that has been elaborated over 100 years. As a curator then you have a very solid fundament for your judgement. And what is even more important is that you have a very strict, consolidated social structure, from galleries and museums. Curators just have to say 'what kind of artist do I want to show?' and then see that this artist has shown in this famous gallery, in this famous collection in this famous museum, and has these famous curators as supporters; you just proceed like this. Curators are always doing the same thing - waiting and waiting to see who else will buy a particular artist. In fact, if you go to European museums you see nearly all the same artists everywhere. It is true that people chose to rely on the judgement of other people, and on an accumulation of judgement following the curatorial mainstream. In media work, at the moment, we don't have this consolidated social structure. SC: Do you think there will there be one? PW: I don't hope so. Because if there will be one, we would have the same thing, just a repetition of the mainstream. So in media work, from avant-garde to advanced computer work, the challenge is greater for the curator because he has to be very bold and he must know a lot. He must know, above all, theory. I assure you it is absolutely for sure that many curators who curate shows about painters haven't read a book about painting in the last ten years. Because they don't need to. They say, 'I can trust my eye.' What that in fact means is that they are trusting the judgement of others. Their eyes are trained to see what they know. And when they have seen the works everywhere on the markets then they can show it. In the media world this is not possible. In the media world to discover something, to make a good show, you have to have a lot of theory in your mind about the work and about the general discussion otherwise you would not see the work, you would not find it. SC: One concern I have as a result of this perspective is that curators are presenting new media art accompanied by a lot of theory, as if to disguise the fact that it still has a lot more development to go through before it is seen as art. PW: But I see that as an advantage. Your description is correct. Media art is very much theory dependent. But now comes my argument. What else, or what in the modern world is not theory dependent? SC: Entertainment. PW: Entertainment, exactly. And art is not entertainment. This is my point. SC: Well, what about the exhibition at the Walker Art Center called Art Entertainment Network? AEN was an exhibition of web art about entertainment as part of the traveling exhibition Let's Entertain (seen at the Pompidou in December 2000 under the title Au Dela du Spectacle). I think those boundaries can be pushed PW: Yes, those boundaries can be pushed. But it depends actually what the audience thinks. If an artist thinks it's entertainment that doesn't mean that an audience thinks it is entertainment. Naturally there are attempts to respond in that direction, but I'm skeptical. I'm skeptical, because my point is - and this is now a deeper argument - that the modern world is in fact dependent on theory. Airplanes and cars, all that we can see, is not built from perception, but from scientific concepts. If we agree that the construction of the modern world is theory dependent, then we will agree that even if people believe in the world, they don't understand it. They use a computer and they don't know how it is constructed, they just know how to use it. People know how to push a button for a coffee but they don't know how the coffee machine works. You can be happy about it and say 'this is the point of entertainment, objects and machines should entertain me.' But if you believe that man should master, or should try to be a master of his fate, that he should have the knowledge and competence to know what he is doing, then you have to accept that he should learn theory to understand the world. You could then say that art should not be theory dependent, but then the consequence is that art is not a part of the modern world. Modern painting is theory dependent. Art is theory dependent because it wants to be part of the modern world. The opposite would be to exclude art from the modern world and say this is something we just enjoy sensually, we just have fun with, are entertained by. And it is understandable that artists don't want to be marginalised, and they want to become part of the fun. But then you see art is also defeated, because science, which is not fun, can not become marginalised because science is important. People are dependent on the images that are provided by science (on x-rays, on ultrasounds). They are no longer dependent on the images provided by art. Therefore art becomes marginalised because its images lack in necessity. And therefore in order not to be marginalised artists have decided to be part of the entertainment industry. But this is exactly the way they will be further marginalised because the professional entertainment industry knows better than art how to make fun entertainment. SC: When you are curating, and in the case of net_condition, are you trying to remove new media art from that context, of entertainment or commercialism? Are you trying to give them a necessity? PW: I give the works exactly what I am talking about: away from entertainment, I give art a strong theoretical, political and social urgency. And I make difficult shows.

If a single file has to be included than I use the following
index.php ( where the file is gonna be included )
define('thefooter', TRUE);
and the footer file (for example) looks this way then
footer.inc.php ( the file to be inluded )
defined('thefooter') or die('Not with me my friend');
echo('Copyright to me in the year 2000');
So when someone tries to access the footer.php file directly he/she/it will get the "Not with me my friend" messages written on the screen. An alternative option is to redirect the person who wants to access the file directly to a different location, so instead of the above code you would have to write the following in the footer.inc.php file.
defined('thefooter') or header('Location: http://www.location.com');
echo('Copyright to me in the year 2000');
In normal case a redirection to an external site would be annoying to the visitor, but since this visitor is more interested in hacking the site than in reading the content, I think it's only fair to create such an redirection. We dont' realy want someome like this on our sites.
For the file protection I use .htaccess in which I say to protect the file itself and every .inc file
<Files ~ "^.*\.([Hh][Tt]|[Ii][Nn][Cc])">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Satisfy All
The .htaccess file should result an Error 403 if someone tries to access the files directly. If for some reason this shouldn't work, then the "Not with me my friend" text apears or a redirection (depending what is used)
In my eyes this looks o.k. and safe.

Americans Observe Veterans Day
Millions of Americans took time to observe Veterans Day in cities across the nation on Sunday. Ceremonies, moments of silence and parades were held to thank and memorialize the men and women of the U.S. armed forces who have served the country's military.
President Barack Obama placed a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia and made remarks in praise and tribute to America's military servicemen and women.
"No ceremony or parade, no hug or handshake is enough to truly honor that service," President Obama said.
In New York City, which is still recovering from the effects of Hurricane Sandy, thousands of spectators lined Fifth Avenue for New York City's Veterans Day Parade. Stadiums across the NFL fell silent for a moment prior to games to mark the day.
Events to mark the day were held in Washington D.C., Atlanta and other cities on Saturday. The federal observance of the day is scheduled for Monday. It's the first Veterans Day since U.S. troops left Iraq in December 2011.

Early voting began in Ohio yesterday. More than a million people have signed up for mail-in ballots, and thousands more began voting in person. From member station WKSU, M.L. Schultze reports.
M.L. SCHULTZE, BYLINE: Gray, drizzly days are generally not good days, when it comes to voter turnout. And Ohio still has at least another 22 voting days before Election Day. But that didn't stop people from lining up at the Board of Elections in Stark County, one of those quintessential swing counties in the quintessential swing state of Ohio. Voters here have been bombarded with TV ads, fliers, phone calls and campaign visits; and constant reminders that Ohio voters have picked the winners in the last 12 presidential contests.
Rose Ehmer and her husband pulled off Interstate 77 on their way to Florida; and waited nearly an hour outside the Stark County Board of Elections, to vote.
ROSE EHMER: We need a change, and I'm ready for the change. That's the bottom line. (LAUGHTER) I want to make sure my vote counts. It's only one vote, but this gives me a right to complain. I voted. (LAUGHTER)
SCHULTZE: The Ehmers were not the first in line. Ray and Ilene Schreffler also have their eye on the presidential race. They've just come to a different conclusion.
RAY SCHREFFLER: We've got to vote for Obamacare. My insurance is about ready to max out, and the poor people need a right to vote.
SCHULTZE: Within minutes of the polls opening yesterday, two dozen people were lined up to use the touch-screen voting booths; and more continued to flow in. Meanwhile, elections officials have hired extra workers, to handle the rush of mail-in absentee ballot requests. They're coming in at twice the pace of four years ago, after the state decided this year to send out absentee applications to every registered voter. That was to settle one of the disputes between the Democrats and Republicans, over early voting.
Karen Kirksey usually votes by mail but this year, she's taking no chances.
KAREN KIRKSEY: I wanted to make sure I came down to vote, this time, because I didn't want any - with all this hearsay about trying to block the vote, I just wanted to make sure I got here, and got here early - and got it out the way.
SCHULTZE: And the Obama camp has made early voting a priority, including get-out-the-vote sleepovers Monday night, in heavily Democratic areas of the state. Republicans have countered with "commit to Mitt" kickoff events, including a mobile phone bank bus tour. Both Democrats and Republicans acknowledge the campaign in Ohio is now shifting from swaying voters towards getting out the votes of those who have already made up their minds.
Stark County Democratic party chairman Randy Gonzalez says early voting is important for Democrats, who hope this year will be more like 2008, when Barack Obama won, and Ohio Democrats did well in Congress; than 2010, when Republicans swept every non-judicial statewide office, including the governor.
RANDY GONZALEZ: Apathy has been a real big issue here in - particularly in Stark County, and in Ohio. When you look at what happened two years ago, when the Democrats didn't show up to vote - I mean, Ted Strickland lost just strictly because of the apathy.
SCHULTZE: Janet Creighton is not conceding the early turnout to the Obama camp, but she isn't worried if it leans that way. The Republican Stark County commissioner was an alternate delegate to the GOP National Convention.
JANET CREIGHTON: Republicans are good, due-diligent voters. So it really doesn't matter to me, so much, whether they vote today or on November the 6th, as long as they do vote. And that has been the mission, all along.
SCHULTZE: And Creighton says many people simply want to vote on Election Day; people like Matt Trent, who says he likes the neighborly feel of a precinct. But one thing could make him vote early.
MATT TRENT: If there was someone who ran on policy saying, if you vote early - or vote for me, I'll stop campaign ads and all that, I would definitely do it. I feel like it's a waste of money, on both sides.
SCHULTZE: It's a nice idea, but nothing is going to stop the TV ads - except, maybe, November 7, the day after Election Day. For NPR News, I'm M.L. Schultze in Canton, Ohio. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Mr. Speaker, last week, former Ukrainian Interior Minister Yuriy Lutsenko was sentenced to four years imprisonment in yet another politically motivated trial. This comes after the imprisonment–also the result of an unfair trial on specious charges–of his ally, former Prime Minister Yuliya Tymoshenko, who continues to languish in prison in ill health.
The sentencing of Mr. Lutsenko is a further confirmation that the regime of President Viktor Yanukovych is not taking its OSCE human rights and democracy obligations seriously. The imprisonment of opposition leaders Tymoshenko and Lutsenko prohibits their participation in October's parliamentary elections, raising serious questions about whether Ukraine will meet OSCE election standards. This could be especially troubling given Ukraine's assumption of the OSCE Chairmanship in January, 2013, two months after these elections. As Chairman of the Helsinki Commission, it is also of concern to me and my colleagues, who have long advocated an independent, democratic, and free Ukraine.
Mr. Lutsenko's conviction is disconcerting in that it starkly illustrates the deterioration of human rights, democracy and the rule of law under the presidency of Viktor Yanukovych, who has pressed the pause button on Ukraine's once-promising advance towards democracy–and increasingly it seems he is switching to the reverse button. Instead, what we now see is something increasingly reminiscent of the kind of authoritarianism that exists in Russia, Belarus and elsewhere in the post-Soviet space.
Ukraine's democratic backsliding is harming relations with the EU and the United States, and both have repeatedly made clear that for relations to improve, respect for human rights and the democratic process must improve. Most importantly, this now two-year deterioration negatively affects the Ukrainian people, who, following the Orange Revolution, had tasted the fruits of freedom, and are now increasingly experiencing the burden of its undoing.
It is time for President Yanukovych to show respect for the dignity of his own people by putting an end to political prosecutions and other reprisals against those who oppose him and allow their full participation in political life. In order to find credibility with both the Ukrainian people and the international community, he must end restrictions on freedom of speech and association and reverse the debilitating corruption and judicial subservience to the executive which has so eroded the rule of law.
Mr. Speaker, the time has come for the Ukrainian authorities to stop their slide to authoritarianism and resulting isolation which will only harm Ukrainians who for so long–and at such great cost–have struggled for freedom, dignity and justice.

ATLANTA, June 21, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S. Small Business Administration announced today that federal economic injury disaster loans are available to small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private non-profit organizations of all sizes located in the counties of Crawford, Erie and Warren in Pennsylvania as a result of freezing temperatures that occurred on March 27 through April 3, 2012.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110909/DC65875LOGO)
"When the Secretary of Agriculture issues a disaster declaration to help farmers recover from damages and losses to crops, the Small Business Administration issues a declaration to eligible entities affected by the same disaster," said Frank Skaggs, director of SBA's Field Operations Center East in Atlanta.
Under this declaration, the SBA's Economic Injury Disaster Loan program is available to eligible farm-related and nonfarm-related entities that suffered financial losses as a direct result of this disaster. With the exception of aquacultural enterprises, agricultural producers, farmers and ranchers are not eligible to apply to SBA.
The loan amount can be up to $2 million with interest rates of 3 percent for private non-profit organizations of all sizes and 4 percent for small businesses, with terms up to 30 years. The SBA determines eligibility based on the size of the applicant, type of activity and its financial resources. Loan amounts and terms are set by the SBA and are based on each applicant's financial condition. These working capital loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable, and other bills that could have been paid had the disaster not occurred. The loans are not intended to replace lost sales or profits.
Disaster loan information and application forms may be obtained by calling the SBA's Customer Service Center at 800-659-2955 (800-877-8339 for the deaf and hard-of-hearing) or by sending an email to [email protected]. Loan applications can be downloaded from www.sba.gov. Completed applications should be mailed to: U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155.
Applicants may also apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA's secure website at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela.
Completed loan applications must be returned to SBA no later than February 12, 2013.
