10 Great Cities for Starting a Business
If you're hoping to start your own business, finding the right place to set up shop is a critical first step. To give budding entrepreneurs a jump on the competition, we scoured the country for ten startup-friendly cities.
First, we looked for metropolitan areas with high concentrations of small businesses. Then we scanned for places with low living costs, specifically for self-employed people, as measured by the Council for Community and Economic Research. Some pricier areas still made the cut because they offer advantages, such as large pools of highly skilled workers, that might outweigh the expense.
Next we screened for an educated workforce to ensure you'll have plenty of promising job applicants when you're ready to hire. Finally, we looked for areas that tend to receive a lot of start-up investment dollars and offer low business costs.
Take a look at our list of ten of the best cities for entrepreneurs.

Cost of living for self-employed: 0.6% below U.S. average

Not everything's bigger in Texas. Take taxes. In the Kosmont-Rose Institute Cost of Doing Business Survey, both Dallas and neighboring Fort Worth ranked among the 20 least-expensive cities in the West in 2012, based on a basket of costs, including property taxes, sales tax, business license fees and utilities taxes. Dallas also has no personal income tax, occupation tax or wage tax.
It's no wonder 20 Fortune 500 companies, including AT&T and Southwest Airlines, choose Dallas for their stomping grounds (cowboy boots optional). But budding entrepreneurs need not feel dwarfed by these corporate behemoths. Nearly 80% of Dallas businesses officially weigh in as small (technically with fewer than 500 employees, but typically with 20 or fewer). And they employ nearly 40% of the area's workforce.
The smallest of small businesses — "microenterprises" with five or fewer employees — can get help from the Business Assistance Center program, which provides resources, workshops and one-on-one counseling to future CEOs. Start-up accelerator Tech Wildcatters offers its mentorship program and up to $25,000 in seed money to select companies. And the Dallas County Community College District provides a 30,000-square-foot business incubation center that can house up to 50 small-business owners, who share the costs.Dallas

Metro area population: 2.0 million

Percentage of labor force with bachelor's degrees: 30.5%
Standout start-ups: mobile apps Leap2 and EyeVerify, real estate software developer ShownHome
With its growing tech community, you might think this area more Oz than Kansas these days. In recent years, a colorful crowd of start-ups has been taking advantage of the region's lower costs and gathering in what's been aptly dubbed the "Silicon Prairie," which includes Omaha, Des Moines and Kansas City. Kansas City, however, offers an added technological draw that exists nowhere else: Google Fiber's ultra-high-speed network, first implemented in November 2012. (Another exclusive offering: unbeatable Kansas City-style barbecue.)
To harness this truly unique opportunity for innovation, Kansas City, Mo. — the city straddles the Missouri-Kansas border — has developed a strategic initiative called LaunchKC, which will roll out a number of developments in hopes of attracting and nurturing tech entrepreneurs. On its to-do list: reduce costs for starting new businesses, create a wireless district in the downtown area and establish a collaborative space for tech professionals.
For local resources that already exist, tap into the Kansas City Startup Village. The community of entrepreneurs has plugged into Google's superfast Internet speeds and invites others to join their shared offices and living spaces at little or no cost. Plus, a number of business incubators, including BetaBlox and Think Big Partners, offer mentorship programs, access to facilities and networking opportunities. Think Big also offers investment funds.Kansas City

This Southern belle knows how to court the entrepreneurial spirit. Back in 1886, it was the birthplace of Coca-Cola, whose products have fueled many a creative mind ever since. And more than hometown loyalty has kept Coke's headquarters in Atlanta, alongside the likes of AT&T, UPS and Delta. The city boasts the world's busiest airport, and execs enjoy a quality culture scene led by the High Museum of Art, fine dining options and an active nightlife.
Another entrepreneurial draw: Despite its big-city appeal, Atlanta offers small-city living costs. And according to consulting firm KPMG, business costs are 3.8% below the national average. Plus, the area's 57 colleges and universities provide a deep pool of young skilled workers.
Campuses also offer support and resources for local innovators. Georgia Tech's start-up accelerator, the Advanced Technology Department Center, has helped launch more than 130 tech companies since 1980 with its mentoring program, networking events and other services. Georgia State houses CollabTech, a business incubator with nearly 14,000 square feet of lab space and offices, access to equipment and technology, and an on-site facility manager.
Beyond school grounds, Hub Atlanta offers co-working spaces as well as a network to connect entrepreneurs and potential investors. And funds are flowing into Atlanta at a healthy rate. In the first nine months of 2012, the metro area raised more than $196 million in investment funds, according to the National Venture Capital Association.Atlanta

The mile-high city provides stable ground (and beautiful scenery) for aspiring impresarios with lofty business goals. After all, small businesses with fewer than 50 employees make up 95% of the area's economy. Despite a slightly higher than average cost of living, Denver scores favorably on the Kosmont-Rose Institute Cost of Doing Business Survey. And according to consulting firm KPMG, business costs are 1.6% below the national average across industries — and are particularly low, at 8% below average, for corporate services such as insurance.
Denver's economic development office encourages small-business growth with its JumpStart Biz Plan Awards. All applicants receive feedback and advice on how to plow ahead, and winners collect $50,000 cash, plus legal counsel and tax, accounting, marketing and social media services. Winners also get a one-year membership in tech start-up community Galvanize, as well as an office in its 30,000-square-foot workspace.
In addition to a highly educated workforce — one in three workers has a BA or higher — the Denver area also boasts a fair share of the nation's start-up investment dollars, having received more than $192 million in venture capital last year through the third quarter.Denver

A little fall of rain can hardly hurt true entrepreneurial drive — and that is something Seattle has by the bucketful. Venture capitalists recognize the area's potential and poured more than $623 million of funding into its start-ups through the third quarter of 2012. After all, the area is well-known for its innovative industry leaders such as Amazon and Microsoft, which in turn are creating opportunities for the next generation. Amazon Web Services (AWS) holds an annual contest looking for the world's best new computing, gaming and applications start-ups built on its platform. The grand-prize winner gets $50,000 in AWS credit, $50,000 cash, mentoring sessions and support services. And Microsoft's BizSpark promotes and connects software start-ups with investors, mentors and partners.
Besides adding to the highly educated local labor force, the University of Washington pumps $1 billion worth of research funding into the community, investing in promising researchers and projects. UW also offers select start-ups access to its New Ventures Facility, a business incubator with 23,000 square feet evenly divided into office and lab space. It currently houses 15 start-ups and will fit up to 25 once renovations are completed in 2014.
Off-campus, energy-efficiency-focused engineering firm McKinstry maintains a 24,000-square-foot innovation center offering development, demonstration and office space, as well as consulting and mentoring opportunities with the firm's experts in construction, energy and facility services. The tech start-up community can also tap into Seattle 2.0, the Web-based network now hosted by GeekWire.com, for online resources and live events.Seattle

Indianapolis offers a burgeoning start-up scene with an exceptionally low price tag. Its cost of living for the self-employed is the second-lowest of any city on this list. Average office rents in Indianapolis are the cheapest of our choice cities for starting a business, at $17.73 per square foot per year, well below the national average of $19.30.
Verge is Indy's go-to software start-up network, which connects more than 1,800 entrepreneurs, investors and developers. It hosts regular events at which hopeful company leaders take the stage to pitch their ideas to investors. IndyMade.com is another useful resource that's working to collect data on all Indianapolis-area start-up activity, including networking events, funding sources and a comprehensive map of emerging companies.
IndyMade identifies a baker's dozen of funding sources for start-ups in the area, including SproutBox, based in nearby Bloomington, and Halo Capital Group. Rather than simply writing a check in exchange for equity, SproutBox invests its own employees' time and talents into start-ups, which it refers to as "sprouts." Over a ten-month period, selected entrepreneurs receive between $200,000 and $250,000 worth of cash and services. Halo Capital is a more traditional angel investor.Indianapolis

Standout start-ups: aircraft charter service GiveJet, doctor search engine MyDocHub, market research company Immersyve
Orlando may really be the place where all your dreams come true — and you don't even need a Disney-certified fairy godmother to make it happen. Beyond tourism, the area has grown into a high-tech hub and fosters innovation in a range of industries that have little to do with talking mice. The diverse economic progress even helped land Orlando on Kiplinger's 2012 list of cities with surprising job growth.
The University of Central Florida's Business Incubation Program is currently helping more than 130 start-ups establish themselves in the fields of biotechnology, engineering, environmental services and more. The program maintains ten locations throughout the area, with a total of more than 141,000 square feet of office and lab space. It also provides mentoring services, marketing support and networking opportunities.
Another helpful local resource: the National Entrepreneur Center. It provides free business training, counseling and networking opportunities to local business owners. The center also offers a facility with office space and conference rooms at affordable rates.Orlando, Fla.

The city built on steel and coal might prove to be a diamond in the rough for entrepreneurs. Pittsburgh is looking to become the "new center of innovation in American energy" and putting up the cash to get there. On top of nearly $143 million the area raised in start-up capital during the first nine months of 2012, the area's research and development funding through Carnegie Mellon, the University of Pittsburgh and other institutions amounts to $3 billion annually.
State-sponsored economic development group Innovation Works provides funding, business guidance and other resources to promising projects. With the Allegheny Conference of Community Development, it formed the Energy Alliance of Greater Pittsburgh to connect local energy entrepreneurs, researchers and investors. It also created tech start-up accelerator AlphaLab, which runs a 20-week program twice a year that provides select companies with funding, office space, mentorships and other assistance to get up and running.
Other entrepreneurial resources in the area: Carnegie Mellon University is home to 118 research institutes and centers, which help launch 15 to 20 new start-ups a year, on average. Nonprofit Idea Foundry assists technology start-ups by providing business advice, investment capital and networking opportunities. The Pittsburgh Life Sciences Greenhouse focuses its entrepreneurial assistance on companies developing medical devices, therapeutics, biotech services and health information technology.Pittsburgh

You don't have to be a country crooner to succeed in Nashville. The nonprofit Entrepreneur Center helps start-ups in the health care, technology, social enterprise, and digital media and entertainment industries catch their big breaks in these parts, too. (Its tech sector propelled Nashville onto our list of 8 Cities with Surprising Job Growth.) The Center's incubators offer mentorships, networking assistance and other resources to help businesses launch within six months.
The biggest advantage to setting up shop in Nashville is its affordability. The Music City offers the lowest living costs of any city on this list, and its business costs were rock-bottom in the Kosmont-Rose Institute Cost of Doing Business Survey. In fact, according to KPMG, business costs are 4.3% below the national average across industries — and are markedly low for corporate services, at 13.2% below average.
And while you're saving on expenses, you can also collect some seed money. The area raised a respectable $72 million from venture capitalists through the third quarter of 2012. One accelerator firmly supporting Nashville is the Jumpstart Foundry. In addition to $15,000 in seed funding, it provides select companies with a 14-week mentorship program.Nashville

Percentage of labor force with bachelor's degrees: 39.8%
Standout start-ups: car-sharing company Getaround, corporate payroll software company ZenPayroll, e-mail and messages organizer Minbox
No business-city list would be complete without San Francisco. The Startup Genome project, a research effort looking into what makes start-ups successful or not, named Silicon Valley and the Bay Area the hands-down winner for world's best entrepreneurial environment. Major start-up success stories, including Craigslist, Pandora and Twitter, were spun here and continue to beckon thousands who hope to find their own enterprising happy endings in the City by the Bay. Skilled workers are just as plentiful; the area boasts the highest percentage of college-educated workers on this list.
Hordes of investors are rushing to San Francisco, too. Through the first nine months of 2012, the city pulled in a whopping $4.4 billion in start-up funds — 21.9% of the entire country's venture capital investments and $1.2 billion more than the next most investor-enticing area in the country (nearby San Jose).
But exposure to all that capital will cost you. San Francisco is the priciest city on this list and has the fourth-highest cost of living in the country, behind Manhattan, Brooklyn and Honolulu. Of course, you can save on some costs by taking advantage of the dozens of business incubators and other co-working spaces. (Or you can wait for a vacancy in the "incubator house" on aptly named Billionaire's Row, where several entrepreneurs pay rent to live and work — like "The Real World," but with innovation.)San Francisco

Cancer Health Center
Ewing's Sarcoma
What Are the Risk Factors for Ewing's Sarcoma and Can It Be Prevented?
There are approximately 200 new cases of Ewing's sarcoma diagnosed in the United States annually. Ewing's sarcoma primarily involves children older than age 10, teens and adolescents, and young adults, usually up to the age of 30. Slightly more boys than girls are prone to get the disease. For unknown reasons, it occurs most often in whites and is extremely rare in African-Americans or Asian-Americans.
Compared to adult cancers, risks of most childhood cancers, including Ewing's sarcoma, cannot be affected by making lifestyle changes. Ewing's sarcoma has not been associated with any environmental risks. There are genetic changes that appear in the cells of people with Ewing's sarcoma. However, these happen after birth and are not inherited.
As there are no known risk factor that can be changed and no screening test to effectively identify someone prone to develop this cancer, there is no way to prevent it.
What Are the Symptoms of Ewing's Sarcoma?
Many things, ranging from infections to accidental injuries, can cause symptoms that resemble the symptoms caused by Ewing's sarcoma. Because early diagnosis is important for successful treatment, any child with any of the following symptoms should be evaluated by a doctor.
- Pain or swelling, most commonly in an arm or leg, chest, back, or pelvis; the pain gets progressively worse, and does not subside.
- A swelling, which may or may not feel warm
- Swelling and limited range of motion of a joint
- Fever for no known reason
- A bone that breaks with no apparent cause
Children often get lumps and bumps from play. But any lump or bump that doesn't quickly go away should be seen by a doctor.
A tumor that has spread can cause a child to feel very tired and to lose weight. If it has spread to the lungs, it can also cause breathlessness. Tumors near the spine can cause unexplained weakness or even paralysis.
If Ewing's sarcoma develops inside the chest wall, it's possible for the tumor to progress with no apparent symptoms until it has gotten very large and possibly spread.
How Does the Doctor Know if a Child Has Ewing's Sarcoma?
Ewing's sarcoma can only be confirmed with a biopsy of the tumor and testing for the change in DNA. But first the doctor will perform a series of procedures and tests. The results will be useful in determining the extent of the cancer if it is confirmed and the appropriate treatment.
The doctor will start with a physical exam and medical history to check for symptoms and other health issues. The doctor may ask for a complete blood count or CBC. If a tumor is eventually confirmed, abnormal levels of red blood cells and white blood cells will help determine whether or not the cancer has spread to the bone marrow.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (Nov. 18, 2009) — Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert, who has saddled a record four Hollywood Prevue winners, will aim for a fifth with Indian Firewater and Macias as the Grade III event for 2-year-olds is run for the 28th time Saturday at Hollywood Park.
The Prevue, at seven furlongs on Cushion Track, is a major prep for the $750,000 CashCall Futurity on Saturday, Dec. 19.
Baffert, who won the Futurity for a record-tying fourth time with Pioneerof the Nile in 2008, last won the Prevue with Massive Drama in 2007. His first three Prevue victories came in succession with In Excessive Bull, Commitisize and Premier Property from 1996-98.
The Baffert duo will contend with six others in the Prevue, which also attracted WinStar Farm's impressive Keeneland winner American Lion. The field will line up as follows from the rail out:
Seattle Ruler, with Martin Garcia up, carries 118 pounds; Get My Fix, Joe Talamo, 116; Indian Firewater, Garrett Gomez, 116; American Lion, Julien Leparoux, 116; Macias, Rafael Bejarano, 118; Pico Pico, Alex Solis, 116; Tribal Face, Joel Rosario, 116, and Purse Luva, Victor Espinoza, 118.
Leparoux, who leads Gomez by approximately $700,000 atop the nation's money standings with $18 million, will fly in from Kentucky to ride American Lion for the second straight start.
The son of Tiznow finished second in his career debut at Arlington Park in September, cruised to a 6 ¾-length victory in his second start at Keeneland, traveling seven furlongs in 1:22 1/5.
"It's a big step up, but I think he's up to the task," said trainer Eoin Harty, who will saddle American Lion for the first time. "He's a big colt. He looks like a combination of Tiznow and Storm Cat (sire of his dam, Storm Tide)."
Gomez, leading money-rider in the nation the last three years, will try to draw a little closer to Leparoux in the Prevue aboard Indian Firewater. The son of Indian Charlie will be making his fourth start. He broke his maiden second time out for owners Mike Pegram, Karl Watson and Paul Weitman at Del Mar, then finished second in a six-furlong allowance race at Santa Anita in early October.
Macias, owned by Zayat Stables, will be aiming for his third straight win in his fourth start. The son of Purge broke his maiden in his second start and won the six-furlong Jack Goodman at Santa Anita in his most recent start. Bejarano will be up for the first time as Gomez opted to ride Indian Firewater.
Seattle Ruler, winner of the Barretts Juvenile, will try to bounce back after finishing ninth in the Norfolk; Get My Fix rallied to break his maiden in his last start; Pico Pico shortens up after running around two turns in his last two starts; stakes-placed Tribal Face broke his maiden in his last start, and Purse Luva steps up after winning for a claiming tag of $50,000.
The Prevue will run as the eighth race on Saturday's nine-race program at Hollywood Park. First post is at 12:30 p.m.

You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system. MTX muscle from a TH Series amp If you're addicted to great bass, then you know that MTX has been building great amps and subs for decades. Their TH350.1D mono amp mixes the latest advancements in amp technology with MTX know-how to bring you strong, clean power that you can rely on — day in and day out. This TH Series amp delivers up to 350 watts to your subwoofer system, with some cool features that'll make your life easier. Flexibility and reliability The TH350.1D can handle multiple subs, operating safely with loads as low as 1 ohm. What's this mean to you? You can send 125 watts RMS to a single 4-ohm sub right now, but you won't have to sell your amp when you add more subs later on. This 1-ohm stability gives you a little more flexibility as your system changes over time. And, speaking of time, MTX designs their amps for reliability. All internal wiring is as short as possible, for the purest reproduction with low noise. And you'll find a handy clip light that helps you set your gain properly, so you know you're getting the cleanest bass possible. Tuning your bass MTX includes a number of tools for tuning your bass. The low-pass filter sets up a 24 dB per octave wall that stops higher frequencies from reaching your sub. You can also adjust the subsonic filter to remove the extreme low frequencies, which helps your sub play louder and improves the performance of many enclosures. And this amp also features an old school bass boost, which allows you to kick in up to 12 dB of bump at 40 Hz for max bass when you need it. MTX includes a wired remote, so you can adjust the bass level from your front seat.

It has anodized aluminum heatsinks to dissipate heat generated by the amplifier. The amp produces 125 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms, and 250 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms. 1 Ohm Stable: The TH350.1D is stable down to 1 ohms. At 1 ohms, the power output is 350 watts x 1. Protection Circuits: The TH350.1D provides protection against overheating and electrical short circuits. Gain: The amp's rotary gain control is continuously variable from 250mV to 5V to match the output of the source unit. Crossovers: The amp features a built-in low-pass crossover, with a continuously variable cutoff frequency of 40-200Hz. It has a slope of 24dB/oct. In addition, the amp has a subsonic filter, which cuts ultra-low frequencies to minimize wasted power and protects speakers not capable of reproducing those frequencies. It has a variable crossover frequency of 20-50Hz, and a slope of 12dB/oct. Both filters are non-defeatable. Bass Boost: The TH350.1D's bass boost circuit is variable from 0 to +12dB, and centered at 40 Hz. Electronic Bass Control (EBC): The amplifier comes with the Electronic Bass Control (EBC) module that allows you to adjust the gain of the amplifier from the front of the vehicle. The EBC comes with a 16' cable which plugs into the RJ-25 jack on the amplifier. Smart Engage: When the speaker-level inputs are used, the amplifier will automatically power on when voltage is detected on the input. No separate Remote Turn-on lead is required. This is especially convenient when adding an amplifier to a factory system without RCA outputs, or when adding an amp and sub in the trunk and you don't want to remove the head unit. Connections Line Level Input/Output: The line-level signals from the source unit are input using the stereo RCA inputs. The amp does not offer a line-level output. Speaker-level Inputs: If the source unit lacks RCA outputs, such as a factory head unit, you can splice the two supplied speaker-level input wires into the head unit's speaker wires, and then plug them into the stereo RCA inputs. Power Terminals: The TH350.1D features set screw terminals for power, ground and remote turn-on. The power and ground terminals will accommodate up to 4 AWG wire, while the remote turn-on terminal will accept up to 10 AWG wire. The set screws can be loosened or tightened with the supplied Allen wrenches. MTX recommends the use of 4 AWG power and ground wires with the TH350.1D. Speaker Connections: The amplifier is equipped with set screw terminals for the speaker outputs. The terminals will accommodate up to 8 AWG wires, and can be loosened or tightened with the supplied Allen wrench. EBC Port: The amp has a RJ-25 modular phone jack for plugging in the supplied Electronic Bass Control (EBC) module. The EBC comes with a 16' cable, allowing you to control the gain of the amp from the front of the vehicle. Warranty 5 Year Warranty Terms: This product carries a 5-Year Prorated Warranty with the following terms: Years 1-2: Products found to be defective in materials or workmanship during the first two years will be, at Mitek's option, repaired or replaced by Mitek at no charge. The warranty period does not renew, but continues on from the original date of purchase. Years 3-5: The purchase price of an item which becomes defective after the first two years and prior to the end of the warranty period will be prorated and credited toward the purchase of a new MTX product. The amount of proration is determined by dividing the original purchase price by the number of months in the warranty period (60), then multiplying the result by the number of months remaining in the warranty period.

As a result, county staff plans to regroup next week and discuss next steps regarding development of the former naval airfield, said Keith Boggs, the county's assistant executive officer and director of the General Services Agency.
"At this point, we're going to keep our powder dry, and I'm going to meet with our leadership next week, and we'll see what we come up with," Boggs said.
He said he still believed in the Crows Landing project and its potential for the West Side and for the region.
West Park developer Gerry Kamilos, who had an exclusive contract with the county up until August 2012, submitted a letter on Friday to Boggs and County CEO Monica Nino, indicating that he was still interested in the project but could not commit to it at this time and would not submit a request for proposal.
"... The present state of speculative land development financing requires a broad discussion with all of the stakeholders before commitments can be made," Kamilos wrote. "In particular, the infrastructure funding requirements of this project area, when contrasted with similar use projects in Patterson, Tracy, Lathrop and Stockton that already possess infrastructure, make this a particularly challenging prospect."
The county released a Request for Proposal to develop the airbase Oct. 22 after supervisors voted not to extend the county's contract with Kamilos in August because his West Park team had failed to meet financial deadlines in July to which he had agreed.
Kamilos said at the time that his project had been hindered by a lawsuit from the City of Patterson and by the bankruptcy of Lehman Bros., which had provided the bulk of his financial backing. County supervisors previously had selected Kamilos as master developer of the project in 2007 after seeking applicants to develop the former 1,528-acre former Crows Landing naval airfield between Fink and Marshall roads south of Patterson.
Kamilos' plans had entailed building a 2,930-acre industrial park on and around the airbase, including a 157-acre "inland port" that would be connected to the Port of Oakland via short-haul rail.
The county's new RFP released in October required that development of the airbase stay within the confines of the airfield itself. The county also required a $2 million deposit from the selected developer to pay for an Environmental Impact Report, followed by $750,000 for aviation operations once the environmental document was certified.
Kamilos said in November that he was still interested in developing the airfield and planned to scale down his previous plans. In addition to West Park representatives, a mandatory meeting on Nov. 16 for interested developers attracted representatives from Heritage Capital Group of Florida and Texas-based Matthews Southwest, but neither of those groups submitted applications by this week's deadline.
Stanislaus County Supervisor Jim DeMartini, whose district includes the West Side, said that he was not surprised that there were no applicants, given the state of the economy. He also said the city of Patterson had a competitive over Crows Landing these days, as it already has infrastructure in place to accommodate business parks.
He recommended that the county extend its agricultural lease for a couple of more years on the airbase property, most of which is county-owned. NASA, which took ownership of the airfield in 1994 as part of the U.S. Department of Defense's Base Closure and Realignment Process, transferred 1,352 acres of the nearly 1,528-acre facility to Stanislaus County in 2004. The remaining 176 acres will be transferred to the county when the U.S. Navy completes environmental cleanup of toxins from the groundwater there.
DeMartini said development of the airfield already would have been underway if the county had not previously selected Kamilos as its master developer.
"We had our opportunity, and the county did everything wrong we possibly could out there, and this is what we got," DeMartini said. "Now, we have to start all over again."
Kamilos could not be reached for comment Friday, but he previously has said no one could have predicted the downturn in the economy that led to the collapse of Lehman Bros.
Though he stated in his letter Friday that he would not submit a development proposal at the time, he had not given up hope of being involved in the project. West Park representatives had examined several different possibilities regarding development of the airfield within the past few months, he wrote, and he would be happy to speak with county officials about those.
"Our confidence and interest in the project is such that, in the event the county is not satisfied with the results of this current RFP process, we would welcome the opportunity to enter discussions with the county on possible paths forward for the implementation of the project," Kamilos wrote.

Setting the Table
Fuchsia-rimmed porcelain plates trimmed in opulent gold infuse settings with vibrant color in a refined and quiet manner. But just as a little black dress is the foundation for a range of accessories, the dinnerware flips a trendy attitude with sassy accoutrements. Service plates—often used to express a formal, proper presentation—are anything but buttoned-up on this oval runway; their animal-print patterns are more likely to be found on a pair of swanky stilettos. Instead of matching the plates, tangerine-colored linen napkins make a sporty contrast and nod to the color-block craze that is au currant in the world of apparel. And just as silver and gold stylishly mix in jewelry, Hollis combines hammered stainless flatware and hip gold-metallic placemats made of a natural material.
"Lacque de Chine" salad and dinner plates and "L'Animal" service plates are from Haviland (800/793-7160). "Leopardo" hammered stainless flatware is from Ricci. "Linear" placemats are from Dransfield & Ross.

I will continue to purchase this product
By Linda
from Iowa
I purchased this for my new dog as she is a 12 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and it seems to be doing the trick. She will actually run for a couple of minutes in the back yard. She doesn't have any teeth so I purchased the Wellness canned dog food and mix it in her food. I am glad they had something other than treats for her since she doesn't have any teeth. I have been using it for about 2 weeks now.
Happy with the product.
By Papillon Mom
from Rochester, NY
High quality product. Product size is not an issue for me because my dog is only 6 lbs.
Easy to use.
By Pup a do

I sprinkle the powder on morning meal. No apparent bad taste.
Love these vitamins!
By MBI
from Mesa, AZ
I had slipped on ordering these vitamins for my dog and I noticed his health was slipping as well. I started feeding the vitamins to him again and he has more energy, less itching, and overall is happier. Great product.

Fantastic supplement
By Maxine
from Apple Valley, CA
I have a dog that has severe food allergies and stomach issues. He just turned six. He eats chicken and oats only, cannot tolerate anything else. I needed an all natural supplement that offered all the vitamins and nutrients and didn't upset his stomach. He tolerates this beautifully, eats it without a problem. He was having some shoulder issues and he is now good as new! Running and playing like a puppy! Great product!
Please Bring Back Old Formula!
By Mama Bear
from San Jose, CA
I really wish ONPS would bring back the old skin and coat formulation. The new one comes in a tiny size (5.5 oz) and is much more expensive, especially with shipping added. I have two big dogs, so go through it quickly. I am not sure this works any better. It also smells bad. I have tried the Super Daily Multiple Vitamin, which is a convenient tablet, but I don't think it helps with shedding quite as well as the first green powder formulation.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: This new product is a combination of all the prior super daily's so you are paying more for more quality ingredients; joint protection, skin and coat, and digestion along with all the other benefits of a multi- vitamin,

need larger packaging
from Yorba Linda, NSA snoops, CA
While we generally like the product. We do not like the fact that the product only comes in smaller 5.5 oz containers.With the amount of product that we have to give to our 80 Pounds chow/Sheppard mix. We will go through this smaller size very fast. Plus the price is very high per oZ.Would like to buy a larger size and save the time, shipping and money.thanks

Merchant response: Until we do have a larger size, please consider the product on auto-ship at 15% off...this way you could get a couple jars at once for less!

Visit our reservation information page for details on how to get timed reservations to see Endeavour.
While we are building Endeavour's permanent home, a new addition to the Science Center called the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center, Endeavour can be viewed in the Samuel Oschin Pavilion. Guests who come to see Endeavour will begin their experience in Endeavour: The California Story, a companion exhibit featuring images and artifacts that relate the shuttle program to California, where the orbiters were built. Following their visit to The California Story, guests will be directed to the Samuel Oschin Pavilion to see Endeavour.
Visit our reservation information page for details on how to get timed reservations to see Endeavour on display in the Pavilion.
Endeavour: The California Story celebrates Endeavour's many scientific achievements and its strong connection to California, where all the orbiters were built. The California Story includes images of Endeavour under construction locally in Palmdale and Downey, as well as artifacts that flew into space aboard Endeavour. Dramatic video programs, such as one of the shuttle assembly, rollout and launch convey the emotion and power of Endeavour.
In the Samuel Oschin Pavilion, guests will be able to see Endeavour up close and discover some of the science behind this amazing vehicle.The pavilion will feature images and video to introduce guests to Endeavour's past missions and the crews who flew them.
Learn about the EndeavourLA campaign and how you can support our mission to stimulate curiosity and inspire science learning.

Make a Donation
Timed reservations to see Endeavour are required for weekends, holidays, special events and high attendance seasons including Thanksgiving Week, Winter Break and Spring Break. Visit our reservation information page for details on how to obtain timed tickets.
Endeavour is a priceless gift to the people of Los Angeles and California, and the California Science Center plans to maintain the highest standards of conservation to protect the shuttle. To preserve the vehicle for future generations, it will not be possible to enter or touch the vehicle. However, the Science Center is exploring display configurations that will permit guests to get as close to Endeavour as possible and to examine the orbiter from different perspectives and elevations.
We believe that we best met NASA's criteria. We are dedicated to science learning and education and have an international reputation for high quality exhibits. Studies show that the Science Center is very effective at fulfilling its mission. California has a strong historic connection to the shuttles, as all of the orbiters were built in southern California.
Mr. Samuel Oschin was an entrepreneur, explorer and philanthropist dedicated to giving to the Los Angeles community. His ambitious spirit enabled his success in a range of enterprises, from manufacturing to real estate development. Mr. Oschin's many adventures took him to Africa, the North Pole, the Amazon, and a 100-mile trek retracing Hannibal's crossing of the Alps. He founded the Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Oschin Family Foundation in 1981, which generously supports a variety of causes in the areas of astronomy, medicine, advocacy, the arts and education. His legacy lives on through the work of the Foundation.
The Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Oschin Family Foundation has committed a transformational gift to the California Science Center Foundation to establish the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center. This gift is an unprecedented investment in science learning that will inspire future generations of explorers and scientists to dream about the possibilities.
We do not anticipate any state general fund support for construction of the new Air and Space Center.
You can sponsor a shuttle tile or make a donation to the EndeavourLA campaign to support our exciting efforts to create the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center and sustain ongoing educational programs and operations of the California Science Center Foundation. Additional sponsorship and recognition opportunities are available. Larger gift commitments can be fulfilled in three to five years.

If the State of the Union speech is the artisanal homebrew of the political year, State of the State addresses are buying tall boys in bulk.
History suggests that President Obama will deliver 7,000-odd words in his address. So far in 2013, governors in 44 states have laid out nearly 200,000 words of State of the State stock-taking. Carving this rhetorical thicket into what's relevant to national politics and what's not provides a survey of support for current policies, a sense of how new proposals may be received and a reminder that states churn with concerns far beyond the issues that will be wedged into primetime TV. Most used words in each 2013 State of the State address
Education and the economy dominate the 10 most-used words in each State of the State address . Governors riffed on one broad economic story this year — and Obama is sure to follow suit — of recovery from the financial crisis with a long road ahead. To hear governors tell it, the turnaround relied on state commitments to hard budgetary choices and careful rebuilding to overcome inaction in Washington, D.C. Obama must convince the nation, particularly the middle class, that he can wrangle Washington to prime the nation for growth amid sequestration and gridlock — perhaps with an emphasis on infrastructure and clean energy projects, which regularly featured in this year's state addresses.
On education, it's no surprise that governors touted programs aimed at teachers and students. Expect Obama to follow the governors' lead on this perennial political winner, employing a strong anecdote or two and emphasizing the need to improve America's academic standing.
Also expect a segue into gun control, particularly with gun violence victims from Newtown attending the address. Obama almost certainly will continue the push for stronger gun control measures that he unveiled in January. New York Democrat Andrew Cuomo called for new gun laws in his address that were soon enacted, and Massachusetts Democrat Deval Patrick and Maryland Democrat Martin O'Malley did the same. All three men have been mentioned as presidential candidates, and their proposals may later be seen as a step toward the national stage.

Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner, which can only mean one thing…it's time for a Mexican celebration at Malibu Beach Inn!
Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army's 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867). In the United States, Cinco de Mayo has become a wonderful celebration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with large Mexican-American populations.
So we figured, what better way to celebrate this festive occasion than with some of our favorite Mexican dishes, like Sopa de Tortilla, Ceviche, Mole, Taquitos and of course, mouth-watering Carne Asada, all crafted by our Chef de Cuisine Victor Morales!
And a fiesta just wouldn't be complete without a specialty Mexican Cocktail, like a fresh Mojitorita, a zesty El General or a spicy-sweet Jalapeno Margarita. If you happen to have started celebrating earlier in the weekend, we can fix you up with a Michelada, the traditional Mexican hangover cure.
We'll be serving these delicious delights from all weekend, from Friday, May 3 - Sunday, May 5. We invite you to view the full menu here:
Carbon Beach Club is located in the Malibu Beach Inn, at 22878 Pacific Coast Hwy. Call 310.456.6444 to reserve your table today.

It enables me to hit balls during the cold of winter when there is snow on the ground. The target gives you a pretty good idea about how well you hit the ball.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Senior golfer Practice golf swing at home We set up the net in our basement which has nine foot ceilings. We practice our golf swings from chipping to driving before going golfing. It is a great way to warm up before playing a round of golf.

The Golden State Warriors offseason has been surprisingly quiet.
Compared to last season where they acquired Andre Iguodala and due to perhaps high expectations with the suspense around Kevin Love, the Warriors underwhelmed when many expected them to do whatever it takes to get to the next level. However, the Warriors have quietly improved their chances by signing a more tactical coach in Steve Kerr and bolstering their backcourt with the additions of Brandon Rush and Shaun Livingston.
While pundits may glance at these changes and deem the improvements not enough to advance, it's important to remember how close the West was and it may not require a blockbuster trade to vault the Warriors to the top. Here are three veterans in no particular order the Warriors should consider signing for the minimum to bolster their bench and their chances at winning the West:
1. Andray Blatche, 27 years old, 6'11", 260 lbs.
Blatche could be a key role player off the bench and help Livingston facilitate the second unit. Blatche is a tough power forward and a good rim protector and could instantly sub in for Bogut off the bench with minimal change to the game plan. At age 27, Blatche looks to have several good years left and could be a key contributor for the Warriors as they look to build perennial contenders.
2. Mike Scott, 25 years old, 6'8", 237 lbs.
A member of the underperforming Hawks, Scott played well enough last year that it is surprising he is still a free agent. Scott played a lot of minutes in the absence of Al Horford and the Hawks saw enough to extend him a $1.1MM qualifying offer. The fact that he remains unsigned could be a signal that Scott is looking for a change of scenery.
A stretch four that would probably fit better on the Warriors as a three, Scott has tremendous all-around game as well as high flying athleticism. His three-point shooting is the cherry on top and the Warriors would do well to begin negotiations with the young forward.
3. Kevin Seraphin, 24 years old, 6'10", 278 lbs.
Another young player that has a lot of room to grow, Seraphin could be a change of pace center for the Warriors. At 6'10", 278, Seraphin runs the floor as well any center and could put pressure on opposing teams in transition. While Serpahin doesn't have a great resume, he is an intriguing player and one the Warriors could help develop into a potential sixth man.
