Building regulations guidelines
Building regulation guidelines
You will find helpful guidance and information on topics such as conservatories and making a Building Regulations application on the Local Authority Building Control (LABC) website.
Barnet guidance on chimney breast removal
Gallows brackets to support chimney breasts are generally acceptable provided that appropriate details are submitted and the site conditions are suitable.
Where we have any concerns about the proposals, we will require calculations to justify or amended details to be provided. For instance:
- the party wall should be at least 215mm thick
- the brickwork in the party wall must be in good condition
- the brickwork of the chimney must be bonded to the party wall
- if the chimney is in a flank wall then the implications for lateral stability must be taken into account.
In most cases, in a house a chimney breast projects approximately 340mm from the face of the party wall and standard gallows brackets are designed to accommodate this. If a chimney breast extended further than this we would require calculations to justify the proposals and in this case we would expect a beam to be provided. With regard to the maximum dimension of an unsupported corbel, please see BS 5628: Part 3 cl.27.8 which indicates the maximum dimension to be 1/3 the thickness of the wall.
If a chimney breast has been removed in the property that shares the party wall, the use of gallows bracket may not always be suitable and would be subject to an assessment of the party wall by a qualified structural engineer acting for the applicant.
Where works are proposed to be undertaken on the party wall you should have been informed by your neighbour at least 2 months before works are planned to commence.
Adjoining owners can agree with these proposals or reach agreement with the building owner on changes in the way the works are to be carried out, and in their timing. Where there is no agreement, this Act provides a framework for preventing and resolving disputes in relation to party walls by the appointment of an 'Agreed Surveyor or Surveyors' as defined in The Party Wall etc Act 1996.

AP Sports Writer
BOSTON (AP) - Jason Terry scored Boston's last nine points and the Celtics weathered a strong comeback by the New York Knicks, avoiding a sweep with a 97-90 overtime win on Sunday.
Paul Pierce led the Celtics with 29 points as they forced a fifth game in the series, but it was Terry who provided the finishing touches.
In Game 3, he had been elbowed by J.R. Smith, and the NBA suspended the Knicks guard for Sunday's game.
New York had tied the game 84-84 after trailing by 20 points early in the third quarter. It was 88-all before the Celtics regained control and took the lead for good on a 3-pointer by Terry. Carmelo Anthony, who led the Knicks with 36 points, hit a short jumper, but Terry connected on a 15-footer with 50 seconds remaining for a 93-90 lead.
After Anthony missed a 3-pointer with 21 seconds to go, Terry was fouled and sank both free throws. He added a layup to close out the game.

Just a few days ago, we brought you the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto V, which is set to be released for Xbox 360 and PS3 in the Spring of 2013. The wait for the launch can be very aggravating, we know. To help satisfy your GTA thirst, Gevorg Karensky has created an awesome live-action short movie with a plot based on GTA — GTA IV and its main character, Nico Bellic, if you want to be specific.
His movie, called Grand Theft Auto: RISE, looks pretty true to the original and features one of our favorite cars — the BMW M3 — and not just a replica, like in the game. Unfortunately, the M3 meets a rather unhappy ending, but we still enjoyed every second of the car chase it was involved in.
Let us know in the comments section bellow if you like this movie, or you will rather wait for the GTA V for some "real" action!

Fox Renard Model 222 BassoonFox Renard 222 is a great choice for new bassoonists and school music programs. Fox/Renard is one of the premier manufacturers of fine double reed instruments in the world. Introduced in 1971, the reasonable price and durable wooden body has made the Renard Model 222 bassoon a popular choice for new bassoonists and school music programs looking to add a wood body instrument to their bassoon section. The long bore design's warm tone and excellent intonation make it a rare value.The long bore body is constructed of sugar maple, selected for maximum durability and naturally aged. Durable synthetic linings in the wing joint and small bore of the boot joint engender it with the ability to undergo the rigors a student instrument sometimes endures. It is nicely apportioned with a German bell (white ring), body lock, and an acrylic enamel finish.it additionally features nickel-silver keys with silver plating and Full German system. Plateau key on wing joint third finger hole. Rollers on F, Ab, Eb, and Db. Metal tubes extending into the bore in the finger holes of the wing joint to prevent water from entering the tone holes. Spring posts locked with screws. It is individually hand tuned for maximum resonance and projection. Two bocals are included. Numbers 2 and 3, C Bore. The Renard 222 ships with a fine plush-lined case, neck strap, crutch, 2 drop swabs, seat strap.The Fox warranty provision includes the generous offer that within one year, the instrument may be returned to the factory for fine-tuning, acoustical adjustment, and mechanical servicing, with costs limited to freight and parts.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
I do not own a Renard 222 but I use one at school. Our school owns 4 of them and I can clearly see why. The 222 is a FANTASTIC bassoon. Let's face it, either you are Bill Gates or you work as a bassoonist if you own a professional bassoon because they are so darn expensive. But really my friends, you won't notice anything lower here. My teacher has a $20,000+ professional fox and he wants one of these now. This is fantastic purchase. If you don't want to spend $20,000+ this is the bassoon for you. Don't let the "student" label confuse you, this is the real deal. The only other option I could recommend would be a Fox polypropylene bassoon (plastic type material) because they are weather resistant and are also fabulous instruments but this bassoon is still better. Polypropylene is just less hassle but I live in California so my bassoon doesn't get dry from cold weather and crack. But again this is a brilliant instrument.
This bassoon was my first experience in the world of bassoons and all I can say is that I loved every minute of it! This bassoon is super forgiving in it's sound, it made me sound better than a beginner. It is super mellow and plays beautiful pianissimo, but can still play fortissimo if the passage calls for it. The keys were easy to work and worked like a charm. I love that it came with two bocals because there were some reeds that needed that adjustment without me having to go out and buy one. I felt that the construction was very sturdy and I was not afraid of falling to pieces, considering how cheap it is compared to many bassoons on the market. It stood the test of time as I carried it to band rehearsals, ensemble rehearsals, practiced solo music, and church music rehearals. Sadly, I was renting my college's bassoon and it is not mine. I hope one day to buy this great instrument and own it for myself.
I have played on many bassoons while I was looking to buy my own. This horn was the best one for the price range I was looking at. I was playing on my schools schreiber and sohne bassoons and they were super old and couldnt hit anything below a low F and anything above a high Bb. The first time I played the Fox Renard Model 222 Bassoon I almost cried! My tone immediately was improved and it was alot easier to hit all the notes throught my range. If your looking for a bassoon for a cheap price I would definately go with this one. You wont be sorry!
This bassoon is amazing!! It plays just as well as a professional instrument. All you need is the high D key, and you can handle any genre of music that calls for a bassoon! Very good instrument!! Buy IT!!!
I went to my school today (a performing arts high school) in hopes of renting a new bassoon. My ancient Linton certainly wouldn't last long there.
I walked away with this, their best school instrument, and I'm ecstatic. It'll take me a while to get used to the whisper key lock, but otherwise remarkable. I love the tone, and it's a lot easier to produce fluid dynamics. I'm hoping that this bassoon (along with some practice) will get me into the LYO Symphony Orchestra this fall!
When I told my teacher (a veteran orchestral player and die-hard Moosmann fanatic) about receiving this bassoon, he told me I was really lucky. I can see why!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Kraft Foods Group Inc
The cups are not licensed by Keurig or affiliated in any way, said Kraft spokesman Basil Maglaris. That means that Green Mountain will not receive any royalties from their sale.
Maglaris said he expects the cups to be on U.S. retail shelves sometime in the next several months.
Green Mountain was not immediately available to comment.
Kraft also manufactures the Tassimo single-serve coffee system. Maglaris could not say whether the Keurig cups would cannibalize sales of Tassimo cups.
Green Mountain shares were down 41 cents, or 1.7 percent, at $21.70 on Nasdaq. Kraft shares were down 65 cents, or 1.4 percent, at $45.70 on the Nasdaq.

ATLANTA (WRCB) -- The Georgia Department of Labor announced Thursday that the preliminary unemployment rate in the Northwest Georgia area rose to 9.7 percent in June, up six-tenths of a percentage point from 9.1 percent in May. The rate was 10.6 percent in June 2011.
The preliminary unemployment rate in metro Dalton rose to 12.3 percent in June,
up nine-tenths of a percentage point from 11.4 percent in May. The rate was
12.6 percent in June 2011.
In Dalton, the rate increased because there were 651 new layoffs in
manufacturing, transportation and warehousing, administrative and support
services, and health care and social assistance.
In the northwest Gerogia region, the rate increased because 1,491 new job seekers entered the labor force, but were unable to find work, pushing unemployment up 2,798. Metro Athens and metro Gainesville had the lowest area jobless rates at 7.5 percent, while metro Dalton had the highest at 12.3 percent. Athens has had the lowest area rate, or tied for the lowest, each month since December 2009. Dalton has had the highest area rate since August 2011. Meanwhile, Georgia's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate increased to 9.0 percent in June, up one-tenth of a percentage point from 8.9 percent in May, the first increase in almost a year. The jobless rate was 9.9 percent in June a year ago. The number of jobs in the state dropped by 8,200, or two-tenths of a percentage point, from 3,941,500 in May to 3,933,300 in June. However, jobs were up by 45,200 from 3,888,100 in June 2011. Local area unemployment data are not seasonally adjusted. Georgia labor market data is available online.

I like the color, but it doesn't give as much moisture as i like, so I usually use this with a clear lip gloss.

I got this in my order two days ago and wore it the day I got it and yesterday as well. I have light skin and dark hair, so this is a great match for my skin. I like the taste, too. Someone said it reminds them of bubblegum--only very faintly as I cannot stand the faux bubblegum tastes in products I used to use. This product doesn't bleed and looks like a burnt sienna crayon in the tube but goes on more of a deep orange. This is my first Crazy Rumors lip color, and you can bet it won't be the last. Great price on this and it will be fun to layer over more subtle shades I have.

I love this product. I have really pale skin and scandinavian blond hair, so I can't use too bright colors. I have to say that this color positively surprised me. It's perfect mix between pink, red and orange. If you have pake skin, I recommed this! The smell might be overpowering first, but don't worry you get used to it quickly. Ihana tuote. Sopii vaalealle iholle ja ei ole liian räikeä. Tuoksu saattaa aluksi vaikuttaa voimakkaalta, mutta minua se ei haittaa, vaikka olen hajusteille yliherkkä.

Learn More About Working at CBO and the Agency's Career Opportunities
September 30, 2011
In blog postings this week, I've reviewed the historical experience and CBO's projections for three broad components of the federal budget: revenues; Social Security and the major health care programs; and all other spending excluding interest payments. Today I'll discuss some of the implications of that experience and those projections for future budget policy.
Combining the various components of spending, total federal spending excluding net interest will represent 19.9 percent of GDP in 2021, according to CBO's projections under current law, a bit above the 40-year average of 18.6 percent. And the composition of that spending will be noticeably different from what the nation has experienced in recent decades: Spending for Social Security and the major health care programs will be much higher, and spending for all other federal programs and activities, except for net interest payments, will be much lower (see the figure below). Alternatively, if the laws governing Social Security and the major health care programs were unchanged, and all other programs were operated in line with their average relationship to the size of the economy during the past 40 years, total federal spending would be projected to be much higher in 2021—nearly 24 percent of GDP. That amount exceeds the 40-year average for revenues as a share of GDP by nearly 6 percentage points—even before interest payments on the debt have been included.
|Federal Revenues and Spending Historically and in 2021 Under CBO's Baseline
At the same time, the sharp increase in federal debt and a return to more-normal interest rates will boost the government's net interest costs. They are projected to reach 2.8 percent of GDP in 2021, compared with only 1.5 percent of GDP in 2011 and an average of 2.2 percent of GDP during the past 40 years.
What do those numbers imply about the choices that policymakers—and citizens—confront about future policies? Given the aging of the population and the rising costs for health care, attaining a sustainable budget for the federal government will require the United States to deviate from the policies of the past 40 years in at least one of the following ways:
- Raise federal revenues significantly above their average share of GDP;
- Make major changes to the sorts of benefits provided for Americans when they become older; or
- Substantially reduce the role of the rest of the federal government—that is, defense, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, unemployment compensation, support for blind and disabled people, other income-security programs, health care programs for people under age 65, veterans' benefits, federal civilian and military retirement benefits, transportation, health research, education and training, and other programs—relative to the size of the economy.
In sum, the nation cannot continue to sustain the spending programs and policies of the past with the tax revenues it has been accustomed to paying. Citizens will either have to pay more for their government, accept less in government services and benefits, or both.

Hall of Fame World Series Exhibit to Honor 2010 Champion San Francisco Giants
Renteria's bat, Lincecum's jersey and more will be unveiled by Thanksgiving
November 02, 2010
Watch a video of the 2010 World Series Artifact Spotlight
COOPERSTOWN, NY – The San Francisco Giants are bringing their first World Series title back to the City by the Bay.
At the same time, treasures from baseball's most memorable moments from the 2010 postseason are on their way to Cooperstown and being prepared for the Autumn Glory exhibit at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
Following the Giants' World Series-clinching win on Monday night, the Museum acquired nearly a dozen artifacts from both the Giants and the American League Champion Texas Rangers. Those artifacts will be on display by Thanksgiving in Autumn Glory, which celebrates the history of baseball's postseason. The date for the exhibit opening will be announced in the coming days.
Artifacts donated by the Giants and Rangers from the 106th World Series include:
- Bat used by World Series Most Valuable Player Edgar Renteria to hit his game-winning home run in Game 5.
- Road jersey worn by Giants starting pitcher Tim Lincecum in Game 5; Lincecum won two games in the Fall Classic.
- World Series batting helmet worn by Cody Ross, who scored five runs in the World Series.
- Cap worn by the Giants Madison Bumgarner in Game 4 when the rookie pitched eight shutout innings.
- Cap worn by the Giants' Matt Cain in Game 2; Cain allowed no earned runs in 21.1 postseason innings this year.
- Left spike worn by the Giants' Aubrey Huff in the Series; Huff drove in eight runs in the 2010 postseason.
- Bat used by the Rangers' Mitch Moreland to hit his Game 3 home run, the first World Series round-tripper in Rangers' history.
- Ceremonial first pitch ball from Game 4, delivered by former President George W. Bush and former President George H.W. Bush, signed by both men.
- Dirt taken from around the pitching mound following Game 3 at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington to mark the first World Series game in North Texas history.
These and other artifacts from the 2010 postseason will be on display in the Autumn Glory exhibit through the 2011 Major League Baseball postseason. The exhibit may also feature additional artifacts from the 2010 postseason.
Giants fans can savor all the memories of the 2010 season in Cooperstown and experience the history of their legendary franchise through Hall of Fame exhibits. Included in the Hall of Fame's postseason exhibit is the glove Willie Mays used to make "The Catch" off the Indians' Vic Wertz during the 1954 World Series, which was the last time the Giants' franchise won a world title.
The Museum collections contain many artifacts documenting the entire history of World Series and postseason play, including Don Larsen's cap and Yogi Berra's mitt from Larsen's 1956 perfect game; Joe Carter's bat from his 1993 Series-ending blast; and World Series rings from the last century of Fall Classic competition.
The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is open seven days a week year round, with the exception of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. The Museum observes regular hours of 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. from Labor Day until Memorial Day Weekend. From Memorial Day through the day before Labor Day, the Museum is open from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. Ticket prices are $16.50 for adults (13 and over), $11 for seniors (65 and over) and for those holding current memberships in the VFW, Disabled American Veterans, American Legion and AMVets organizations, and $6 for juniors (ages 7-12). Members are always admitted free of charge and there is no charge for children 6 years of age or younger.

One Really Big Organization that Wants You to SucceedWritten by Dave Lavinsky on Tuesday, June 30, 2009
If you own an existing business, or are planning to start one, there is one organization who really wants you to succeed.
In fact, this organization is even willing to loan you money to start or expand your business. And they will give you this money with favorable interest rates and payback terms.
That organization is the United States government.
The U.S. government has learned over time that giving capital to entrepreneurs creates more jobs, improves the economy, and expands the tax base. All the things they really want to achieve.
Many years ago the U.S. government set up the Small Business Administration (SBA) specifically to make loans to entrepreneurs and small business owners. In fact, the SBA currently has $45 billion in loans outstanding to entrepreneurs.
And, in addition to SBA loans, there are several kinds of debt capital that may be available to start or grow your business such as business lines of credit and traditional bank loans.
Each of these types of capital are covered in detail, including a step by step plan for getting these loans for your business, in our new report entitled "Growthink's Step-by-Step Guide to Raising Capital from Banks & SBA Lenders."
Among other things, the report covers:
* The differences between raising debt capital and equity capital that you need to understand (Page 2)
* The important elements of loans and what you need to know BEFORE you look for one (Page 7)
* Exactly what lenders are looking for when they consider whether or not to fund your business (Page 9)
* The biggest misconception about loans that keeps many entrepreneurs from getting funded (Page 11)
* One easy, but seldom used trick to maximize your chances of getting a loan on the best possible terms (Page 12)
* The key types of loans and what you need to know to make sure you get one that's right for your business (Page 13)
* The best way for startups to overcome a key SBA requirement and quickly get the perfect SBA loan (Page 19)
* Assessment of every type of SBA loan to allow you to quickly determine the optimum one for your business (Pages 19 to 24)
* The hands-down fastest way to get an SBA loan (Page 29)
* Growthink's proven 6-step formula for getting an SBA or bank loan (Pages 32 to 36)
* The 30 U.S. banks that are most likely to loan money to your business (Page 37)

Raising Funding for a Social Network or Web 2.0 Concept: Has the Bubble Burst?Written by Jacklyn Rome on Monday, June 29, 2009
Many entrepreneurs and investors have been capitalizing on developing internet capabilities and the increased usage of social networks around the world by creating a new wave of social networks and Web 2.0 websites. Over the last few years, the Web 2.0 sector has seen a number of acquisitions for companies including Bebo, Blogger, Cork'd, Del.icio.us, Flickr, Jaiku, Last.fm, Picasa, Rojo, Skype, Sphere, StumbleUpon, and Webshots. Entrepreneurs have been encouraged by large scale transactions including YouTube selling for $1.7 billion, Facebook's valuation at $15 billion based on Microsoft's recent investment, and MySpace's sale for $580 million.
Exclusive Interview: Mark DiPaola, President of D3 VenturesWritten by Dave Lavinsky on Tuesday, June 2, 2009
Recently, I had the great fortune of interviewing Mark DiPaola, an extremely accomplished entrepreneur.
As the founder of Vantage Media Corp., Mark raised a $70 million Series A financing, which is still on record as one of the largest Series A raises in history. And in 2007, his company generated $68 million in revenues.
As president of D3 Ventures, Mark also functions as an investor.
As a person with such success on both sides of the table - investing in growing businesses, and actually founding and growing businesses himself, I couldn't wait to interview him about entrepreneurship and raising capital.
During the interview, Mark went into great detail as he recounted his own experiences on raising capital for Vantage Media. One thing he emphasized was how important it is to know your business inside and out, and how this knowledge impacts not only your ability to grow your business, but also to achieve sales breakthroughs and get the attention of investors.
Mark revealed one website for job postings which helped him assemble a 35 -person team that brought in $40 million/year in revenue -- and it's not the website you might think! We discussed hiring strategies, the number one factor to look for in job candidates, and when it's time to bring in a highly-experienced management team.
Regarding his role as an angel investor, Mark shared the qualities he looks for in a company before making an angel investment, and why it's important that entrepreneurs are referred to investors.

How to Raise Capital as a First Time Entrepreneur: An Interview with Brad FeldWritten by Dave Lavinsky on Thursday, May 7, 2009
Yesterday I had the opportunity to interview Brad Feld, who is considered among the elite investors in privately held companies.
Many first-time entrepreneurs view VCs simply as providers of capital. In actuality, VCs are partners. They exert control over your company. They have experience in product development or scaling companies, or both, and can provide significant value beyond the money they infuse in companies.
Are you an entrepreneur looking to find angel investors for your deal? Gain all the tips and advice you need with our Growthink's Angel Investor Guide.
Obama Stimulus Package Stimulates Renewable Energies Across the NationWritten by Jacklyn Rome on Tuesday, April 28, 2009
While you probably have heard about the Stimulus Package and President Barack Obama's push toward increased usage of renewable energies, you may not be aware of how this initiative can help your business and where the money is in fact going. The following information will explore the specific allocations of the Energy Stimulus and how you, as a business or as a consumer, can take advantage of this unique opportunity.
The following outlines the specific initiatives the energy stimulus money will be dispersed to:
Historically, companies have been reluctant to invest in renewable and clean energy technologies, because they require tremendous economies of scale to be profitable. Since these systems require large capital outlays upfront, it takes a long time to see return on investment. The Stimulus Package aims to combat these hesitations toward switching to renewable energy systems. The initiative will benefit various members of the energy sector from large utility companies upgrading energy grids to small businesses installing solar panels. It also benefits end consumers striving to make their homes more energy efficient through tax breaks and government subsidies.
Federal Involvement will Spur Investment, Growth, and Job Creation
The influence of government grants, loans, and tax breaks, will help encourage progress for both the supply and demand side of this sector. On the supply side, the government will provide research grants and funds for investing in promising existing and new technologies. On the demand side, the Stimulus Package will help companies and homeowners purchase new green energy systems by making them more affordable. The Stimulus Package will also create thousands of new jobs across the nation fulfilling these initiatives, helping to fuel unemployment and the overall status of the economy. According to Nancy Pelosi, investment in the green sector will create close to 500,000 jobs in 2009, 67,000 of which will be in the solar and wind power installation sector. Ultimately, the energy portion of the stimulus package will reduce American reliance on foreign nations for fossil fuels, generate domestic jobs, and promote innovation and adoption of new renewable energy technologies nationwide.
Access to the Allotted Funds
Whereas other areas of the stimulus package will be distributed through company applications and competitions to receive the funds, the money attributed to the energy sector will be primarily dispersed through tax credits and purchase incentives. For example, within solar and wind energy, the government is now offering a 30% tax credit to offset the cost of installing a solar energy system or wind farm, whereas previously the tax credits had a cap of $2,000 and $4,000, respectively. Some additional credits include up to $7,500 for buying a plug-in hybrid electric car or a 50% tax credit for gas stations or other businesses that install alternative fueling pumps. For more information on the specific types of grants or tax credits offered, please find more information at the following website: http://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/obama-signs-stimulus-package-5736.html.
So What Does This Mean for You?
Energy Companies
If you are involved in the clean energy sector, Growthink recommends additional research into the specific provisions of the stimulus to see if your business will qualify for federal subsidies or research grants. Additionally, Growthink suggests putting together a strong marketing campaign that highlights government support and tax credits for purchasing your products. This will educate the many unaware businesses and consumers that believe switching to alternative energies is outside of their affordability. Additionally, it is a wonderful way to draw positive publicity for your business. Growthink is happy to provide you with complimentary feedback on your current marketing program. We can also assist you by utilizing our expert group of marketing professionals to work with you on creating a Marketing Plan to target your customers in the most effective way possible.
Contracting, Construction, Eco-Friendly Transportation, and Electrical Infrastructure Companies
If you own a contracting, construction, eco-friendly transportation, or electrical infrastructure company, Growthink recommends seeking additional information on how you may bid for funds allocated to electricity grid design, weatherization, environmentally friendly transportation development, energy efficient housing, and building renovations. Growthink can help you with conducting this research and help articulate how your business is the most suited to perform the specified work or receive a government grant.
As a consumer, you can reap the benefits of the energy sector stimulus by utilizing the tax incentives to switch to renewable energy systems, such as installation of a solar or wind energy system in your home. The government is also offering customer rebates for those who purchase energy efficient appliances for their homes.
The Obama Stimulus Plan is an unprecedented program that has created unique opportunities for tremendous innovation and growth within energy efficiency. Please contact Growthink for more information on how we can help you position your company to benefit from the billions of dollars allocated to this sector and within your reach.
How to Find Grants - The ONE Website You Need to Know AboutWritten by Dave Lavinsky on Thursday, April 23, 2009
The sky is falling. The sky is falling. While that's the news the media is telling us everyday, it's not necessarily all true.
While the economy is clearly not doing so well, there is still tons of money available to organizations via loans, investments and grants.
In fact, with regards to grants, last year more than 75,000 U.S. foundations gave $45.6 billion to organizations and individuals, according to Foundation Growth and Giving Estimates: Current Outlook (2009 Edition). That's $45.6 BILLION!
Do you want a piece of that money? Well, if you do, there is one site that you MUST visit: FoundationCenter.org. Right on FoundationCenter.org's homepage you can start searching thousands of foundations that provide grants. You can even search by factors such as your zip code and market sector to zero in on the most appropriate grants for you.
But, before you rush to give FoundationCenter.org a try, you need to know the one key fact about private grants that no one seems to tell you. Foundation grants are only for non-profit organizations.
So, if you are a non-profit organization, you should definitely stop what you're doing and go to FoundationCenter.org to see what grants might be available to you.
I know what you may be thinking right now...How does this help me? I'm running or starting a for-profit business.
I gotcha. And fortunately, there are also billions of grant dollars available for you too. However, getting these dollars is a bit more tricky. Your business needs to be in certain sectors. You need to know where to look. You need to know how to apply and the secrets to making sure your application succeeds.
To answer these questions and make winning grants for your business a whole lot easier, my team and I just completed Growthink's "Step-by-Step Guide to Raising Capital for Your Business from Grants."
The guide is focused on teaching for-profit businesses how to raise capital via grants. Growthink University members have already been sent their copy of this special report. Others can learn more and download it today by clicking here.
The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009Written by Troy Centazzo on Thursday, March 26, 2009
This is the first article in our "Bottom Line" series focused on the $787 billion plan, where we analyze the spending bill's significance as a stimulus for U.S. entrepreneurs and emerging businesses.
The figures are mind boggling. A few billion dollars there, $50 billion there. And how about the $165 million from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) that made its way to the executives of bailed-out AIG in the form of bonuses? The unprecedented amount of public funds being spent to save and spur the economy through recent programs certainly includes a bunch of life vests for those failed companies that are "too big to fail," but what about for the Entrepreneurial Economy?
But we've also seen frustration on the front lines when we've spoken and worked directly with leaders of promising businesses in those targeted sectors. How do I apply for the funding? Am I eligible? Where do I even find the information?
The next article in our Bottom Line Series will focus on stimulus funds available for entrepreneurial companies in the healthcare sector.
Educating Angels & What That Means for EntrepreneursWritten by Dave Lavinsky on Tuesday, March 17, 2009
A few months back, a unique conference called "AngelConf" took place in Silicon Valley. The conference was organized for angel investors and its goal was to educate angel investors on how to invest in startups.
It was this last question that conference organizer Paul Graham from YCombinator agreed was the most important.

By Roop RajFOX 2 News ReporterDETROIT -- In less than three weeks, Angels' Night volunteers will begin patrolling Detroit. Firefighters will also be armed and ready with hoses, but the challenge this year is getting enough firefighters on the streets."We're not even ready for today, let alone Angels' Night," said Dan McNamara, president of the Detroit Fire Fighters Association.He is frustrated, so much so he says they have a saying in the department in the last few weeks -- when seconds count, we're minutes away.City officials held a news conference Tuesday talking about preparations for Angels' Night. They touted a 55 percent reduction in fires last year during the campaign."Our goal in the fire department is do all we can to keep the city off of the national news with negative coverage about structures burning in the city," said Detroit Fire Commissioner Don Austin.The first fiery pre-Halloween day now known as Angels' Night was back in 1982. McNamara was there. He says there is one thing that day has in common and modern day -- a bad economy.On a regular night there should be 160 firefighters on the streets, but with layoffs and retirements, sources tell us all hands will have to be on deck. No days off for Angels' Night. It's a tight ship that McNamara says puts people at risk."We have 30 people off, layoff. We've had 70 firefighters retire since January. They've just permanently closed 15 fire companies," he said.Multiple fire stations shuttered during a hit and fiery summer. Firefighters battling their own staffing issues calling on all angels to watch out for their neighbors.In the meantime, McNamara is leading the charge with legal action against city and state officials. Subpoenas will be going out soon.

If you ask University of Louisville-bound receiver George Rushing how important offseason work has been for him, the talented Cardinal Gibbons senior would smile and let you know.
Having been part of the weekly Premier Athletes training sessions since last year, Rushing has used the hard work and knowledge to help him land him a scholarship offer — well before his senior season ever began.
"The only way I am in a position where I am today is because of what I put in during the offseason," Rushing said. "What coach Sly Johnson puts us through every Sunday morning for two hours is the reason I will proudly head up to Louisville next year with plenty of confidence."
Rushing is just one of more than 65 athletes who utilize Johnson training sessions that preach everything from being prepared on the field to being ready when the placing days are over.
For Johnson, a former Miramar High and Miami of Ohio standout receiver, giving back his years of experience to some of the finest athletes is what drives him every week to teach prospects how to be the best they can be.
The athletes who have used his Sunday events are among the best you will find anywhere. Besides having most of the University School team attend, there are others who have taken advantage of elevating their games.
"This is something that all those athletes aspiring to get better comes to," Johnson said. "You come to one of our workouts on any given Sunday and you will see players [from Broward schools] like Sean White, Sam Bruce, Quincy Wilson and Rashard Causey [University School]; Carter Jacobs and Juwan Dowles [American Heritage]; Sean Bender and Devante Peete [St. Thomas Aquinas]; John Battle IV [Hallandale]; Ken Rawles and Chazz McKenzie [Blanche Ely]; Koron Rozier [North Broward Prep]; and Rob Foy and Mark Bruno from Flanagan."
At a recent Premier Athletes Showcase event, more than 100 prospects came from Miami-Dade, Broward and even Palm Beach to participate.
For players such as junior quarterback Eldrick Clapp (Coral Gables), the rise into Broward County was just what he needed to help kick-start his career again. The talented passer was injured last year and has been doing everything and anything to get back in the spotlight.
"After sitting out, this is truly the only way to get back at it again," Clapp said. "The competition and talent that comes to things like this can really make the difference in your improvement."
Monsignor Pace standout Malcolm Anderson was among several Miami-Dade players who also attended the showcase opportunity with several on-the-rise youngsters — such as Hialeah Champagnat Catholic sophomore quarterback Kato Nelson.
St. Thomas prospects Walter Jackson, Jawan Harris and Sean Bender, Plantation athlete Marquice Flowers, Boyd Anderson quarterback Eugene Sainterling and receiver David Senior also attended.
"With the start of the season in less than two weeks, this is what many of these players need," Hallandale coach Dameon Jones said. "High-level competition — in a setting where you are put to the test every minute you are there. That's what this is all about."
We are always looking to help promote our area recruits for the current Class of 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. All you have to do is send a You Tube or Hudl link and information about the athlete to: Larry Blustein at email@example.com. Check out our list of statewide prospects as well on the High School Blog.

Ching-A-Ling's first release on Luda's Disturbing the Peace label doesn't tinker with the Midwestern rapper's formula. Gooey love songs such as "Fly Like Me" wrestle with the puffy-chest floss of "Roll On." Slick Rick delivers a breathy bit of braggadocio on "Check My Swag," while boss Luda shows up for the loony sex jawn "Gimme That." Nobody is going to mistake Chingy for an A-list lyricist, but he continues to prove that he adaptable to various styles.

The Kings made a qualifying offer to guard Tyreke Evans on Tuesday, making him a restricted free agent, in the first personnel move involving a player by the team's new management.
Under the offer, Evans would make $6.9 million next season. If the Kings had not made him the qualifying offer, he would have become an unrestricted free agent Monday.
The Kings now can match any offer sheet Evans might sign with another team. They also could part with Evans in a sign-and-trade deal.
They still can negotiate a long-term deal with Evans, a strategy they used with Jason Thompson last year when he was a restricted free agent. Thompson eventually signed a five-year contract.
Evans was the 2009-10 Rookie of the Year after averaging 20.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.8 assists as the starting point guard.
Injuries and position changes led to a drop in his numbers the past three seasons, and last season he averaged a career-low 15.2 points. But, primarily as the shooting guard, he shot career bests from the field (47.8 percent) and three-point range (33.8 percent) last season.
Evans, who finished his third season as the starting small forward, has averaged 17.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.4 steals in four seasons.
Dad's officially on board Coach Michael Malone's father, Brendan, was officially added to the coaching staff Tuesday.
"I'm excited to add a coach with the breadth of basketball knowledge my father provides," Michael Malone said in a statement. "Aside from the benefits of having a trusted family member by my side, he's a talented coach who brings more than 25 years of invaluable NBA experience to Sacramento."
The Malones and Bill and Eric Musselman are the only father and son to be head coaches in the NBA.
In 1995, Brendan Malone became the first coach of the Toronto Raptors. Bill Musselman coached the Cleveland Cavaliers and Minnesota Timberwolves for two seasons each. And both of their sons now have coached the Kings.
Brendan Malone's coaching career began at renowned Power Memorial High School in New York in 1968. He also coached in college, including as Rhode Island's head coach.
Malone was an assistant with Detroit when the Pistons won back-to-back championships in 1989 and 1990. He also has been an assistant with Cleveland and the New York Knicks. He most recently spent five seasons on Stan Van Gundy's Orlando Magic staff from 2007 to 2012.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Wednesday called federal prosecutors' efforts to crack down on gun crime "horrible" in Chicago when compared to other cities like New York or Los Angeles.
To highlight his point, the mayor said a tiny fraction of the guns police and federal agents have seized in a joint operation have resulted in federal prosecutions, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
"We took 400 guns off the street in our combined areas where we worked together. They prosecuted four of the 400 at the federal level. I am giving you the facts," Emanuel said.
Randall Samborn, spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office, declined to respond.
In remarks to the Chicago Sun-Times' editorial board, Emanuel said he's spoken to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Chicago's new U.S. attorney, Zachary Fardon, about the gun issue.
The mayor said he and Fardon are planning to meet about "what role the U.S. attorney will play in helping."
"But that does not absolve us from our responsibility. It doesn't absolve Springfield. There is a lot that needs to be fixed specifically on guns, both on the prosecutorial side, the gun prevention side and other aspects," Emanuel said.
Earlier this year, Syracuse University's Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, which tracks federal prosecution data, found Chicago, Los Angeles and New York ranked last in federal gun law enforcement in 2012. The districts of Eastern New York, Central California and Northern Illinois ranked 88th, 89th and 90th, respectively, out of 90 districts, in prosecutions of federal weapons crimes per capita last year, according to the clearinghouse.
On Wednesday, Fardon took the oath to become U.S. attorney here. Fardon, a former assistant U.S. attorney in Chicago, is best known for his work in the investigation and trial of Gov. George Ryan. Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) have been encouraging the corruption fighter to take on street crime, too.
"I've advised him to be ready as soon as he is confirmed to tackle the everyday gang and gun violence plaguing the streets of our city," Durbin said in a prepared statement.

CHENNAI, India -- Matthias Bachinger of Germany upset seventh-seeded Yen-Hsun Lu of Taiwan 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 Tuesday at the Chennai Open.
Bachinger needed a little more than two hours to stave off a spirited rally from 2010 Wimbledon quarterfinalist Lu in a baseline slugfest that turned out to be the highlight of a day that also featured fifth-seeded Benoit Paire of France, German qualifier Cedrik-Marcel Stebe, Roberto Bautista Augut of Spain and the Indian duo of Prakash Amritraj and Somdev Devvarman moving into the second round.
No. 6-ranked Czech Tomas Berdych and ninth-ranked Janko Tipsarevic of Serbia are among four players to have received first-round byes and will play Wednesday.
The match between Bachinger and Lu saw long rallies with Bachinger getting the vital break in the 10th game to go a set up.
Lu came back strongly in the second and raised his game to counter the 123rd-ranked German's power game, securing an early break in the fourth game to surge ahead and clinch the set.
But in the decider, the little-known German broke in the fifth game and held to go up 4-2 before playing out the match.
"I'm happy as it has been a good start and since he has been playing good in Asia," Bachinger said. "The playing conditions here are a bit tough. I usually practice in Europe where it's cold while it's humid here."
Also, German qualifier Cedrik-Marcel Stebe disposed of 68th-ranked Dutchman Igor Sijsling 6-4, 6-4.
The left-handed Stebe, who has enjoyed moderate success on the ATP tour and posted first-round wins in the French Open and U.S. Open, played confidently against a rival ranked more than 100 places above him.
Amritraj, son of former Indian Davis Cup player Vijay Amritraj, continued his form in the qualifying tournament by rallying from one set down to beat Frenchman Guillaume Rufin 6-7, 6-2, 6-3 to set up a clash with eight-seeded Japanese Go Soeda.
Amritraj said he tried too hard in the first set before finding his rhythm in the second.
"I had not touched the racket for almost two years and I began playing again exactly 108 days ago," Amritraj said. "Chennai is like a second home to me and I'm happy to win here."
Devvarman, who is finding his way back from an injury-ravaged year, eased past Czech journeyman Jan Hajek 6-3, 6-3 to set up a second-round meeting with the top-seeded Berdych.
In other matches, Paire eased past Italy's Flavio Cipolla 6-3, 6-4, while Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain defeated Slovakian Blaz Kavcic 7-6, 6-2.
Israel's Dudi Sela and Ukraine's Sergiy Stakhovsky also advanced to the round of 16.

Walmart is the first major retailer to allow customers who don't have a bank account, credit, debit or prepaid card to pay cash for online orders.
Customers can now shop online at Walmart.com and pay cash at all Walmart stores nationwide.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Here's how the Pay with Cash program works:
Online » Customers go to Walmart.com from any Internet-connected device to select an item and place an order.
During checkout, shoppers select the "cash" option and their shipping preference. They immediately receive an order number on the confirmation page and an email receipt. The item is reserved in the system.
Visit a store » Shoppers have 48 hours to take the printed order form to a checkout lane at any Walmart store or Neighborhood Market. Once the cash payment is completed, the customer's order is shipped to the store or to a preferred address.
"Many of our customers shop paycheck to paycheck and are looking for more ways to purchase items online but don't have ... a credit, debit or prepaid card," said Joel Anderson, president and CEO of Walmart.com. "Our new [program] is designed just for them."
The majority of transactions at Walmart stores are paid for in cash or cash equivalent, such as debit cards. About 15 percent of transactions are paid with credit cards. The giant retailer did a survey showing that more than two-thirds of those identified as "underbanked" were likely to use cash as a form of online payment if the option were available.
One in four U.S. households fall into the unbanked and underbanked categories, where they don't have a bank account or credit card or have limited banking options, and often rely on cash as a form of payment for purchases, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
