Save the Date! The KidWind Challenge will be April 3, 2019!
We are at full capacity this year. We hope you consider next year and feel free to reach out with questions.
Have your students try their luck at the PA KidWind Challenge! Students incorporate engineering and science to build powerful small-scale wind turbines and compete with students from around the state to generate the most electricity. Be creative, have fun, and apply your knowledge of wind energy to win!
The KidWind Challenge is a student-oriented wind turbine design contest. Over a period of a few months, students spend time designing and constructing their own wind turbines with the goal of creating a device that is efficient, elegant and highly functional. To accomplish this task, and arrive prepared at a Challenge, students must perform research to better understand the science of wind, be analytical about testing protocols, think creatively about solutions to problems and work collaboratively to get their project completed on time.
Looking for training on KidWind? Apply for our i-STEAM: Call for KidWind!
Any group of students who are in grades 4th -12th are eligible to enter a team in the KidWind Challenge. This includes students from public and private schools, home schoolers, after school clubs, boy and girl scout troops, 4-H clubs, etc.
We highly recommend each team has a maximum of 5 students and each school/organization can register up to 5 teams to attend.
Each school/organization is responsible for their students, so please ensure enough chaperones attend.


Whoa! yesterday my mom was going out of town, heading to another town, Sipaholon. Today, I must work hard. Why? Coz I'm in charge here. Well, yeah, my dad is in the house, but it doesn't make any sense if I am being lazy. The fact is that my dad is going lazy, I am going too diligent!
I wake up, I have to clean my own room, make my own milk, even take my dog outside. Well, mom usually do the dog. So where's the nanny thing? I have to feed dad's birds, I have to stay with my grandma, cook, and don't forget I have to do my homework and projects. That's more like it!
And now, look what I have to do, body building, reading papers – the international paper, published by campus, not newspapers – about IT, stay with my girl, in the end, I do a solid single life today! Happy nanny time!


I am interested in doing either Human Resources or Public Relations. Any advice on what major I should choose? Or how I know that this would be a good career path for me?
I struggled with choosing which direction to go as well when I was in college a long time ago! I changed my major a few times because I really liked a wide variety of subjects and my interests led me in rather crazy directions.
The best piece of advice I received then - which I thought was baloney then - was simply to find what clicked with my brain, something I was passionate about, and for which I had the aptitude.
HR encompasses a wide range of concentrations and specializations that, in my humble opinion, may be better suited to a wide variety of career choices. Within HR you can concentrate and gain experience in labor relations, compensation, benefits, compliance, legal issues, hiring, performance assessment, metrics, etc. In other words, there are areas within HR that utilize a wide variety of aptitudes - for instance, if you are good with statistics and math, metrics (how HR measures performance, etc.) is one such concentration.
PR certainly has its niches as well, but in my view it has a fairly narrow range of possibilities and aptitude requirements.
I think that you should take a look at who you are, what are you passionate about, what are your pet peeves, what you have a knack for, etc. to help you figure out which direction you should take.

In the early hours of D-Day, 1944, a group from the US Army 2nd Rangers Battalion were sent on one of the legendary raids of World War II. The mission was to scale the cliffs overlooking Omaha beach and assault the German coastal artillery at Pointe-du-Hoc. It was thought that only a raid could ensure that the guns would remain silent during the D-Day landings. But allied intelligence was wrong.After climbing the cliffs under aggressive German fire and securing the battery site, the Rangers discovered that the guns themselves were no longer there. It was only due to the heroic actions of the Rangers involved that the guns were located in firing positions facing Utah beach and destroyed before they could be used. In the first of a brand new series for Osprey, this act of audacious daring is brought to life, complete with illustrated artwork, maps and rare German accounts. Taking a more critical look at the story, Steven Zaloga analyses every detail, from the intelligence failings to the boldness of the Rangers' in the face of such odds.
Steven J. Zaloga received his BA in history from Union College and his MA from Columbia University. He has worked as an analyst in the aerospace industry for over two decades, covering missile systems and the international arms trade, and has served with the Institute for Defense Analyses, a federal think-tank. He is the author of numerous books on military technology and military history, with an accent on the US Army in World War II.

Azhar Pasha, a locksmith in central Bengaluru, realised that customers who came to get their new keys were often helpless and asked for credit. One customer, a manager with online payments company Freecharge, showed him a way out and opened an account for his store, Global Key Makers. Pasha could now accept cash on his phone.
"I have been in this business for 10 years. This is the first time I have moved towards cashless transactions," said Pasha.
Soon, Paytm and MPoint representatives got in touch and set up their payment systems on Pasha's mobile phone.
Pasha now accepts mobile payments for all his services and is going to the next level. "I have reached out to Axis Bank to get a PoS (point of sale) machine. It will take a while. Meanwhile, these wallets are extremely helpful," he said.
The payment he gets from each household is usually less than `200 and this month, over three-fourth of his customers paid cash. He collected Rs 7,000 through cashless channels. "Some people, especially the residents of Defence Colony, do not support Paytm – they say it is a Chinese company. For them, I have SBI Buddy," Jagadeesh said, adding that he may soon get a PoS machine too. Rashmi Prava Das, home chef Apart from running a food stall, Rashmi Prava Das runs a good business selling snacks to her neighbours in a colony near Sahakaranagar. "I have always had problems collecting money because it is in small amounts and change is always a problem. After demonetisation, it became worse," she said.
A neighbour who was unable to pay cash offered to send some virtual money, triggering the change in how she carries out her business.
"I didn't know about it before. She introduced me to it. It has been 15 days and it is so convenient. I am planning to continue it even after the cash flow is normalised," she said. Digital cash ensures she gets paid promptly and Das also gets a record of payments, making it easier to track her income and ensure that she doesn't lose money. The milk vendors and grocers in her apartment complex also accept virtual money, which covers some of her expenses, too. "These wallets are the best option for beginners in online payments such as myself," she said.
Mervin, a 35-year-old masseuse at a spa in Indira Nagar, was quick to accept cashless payments on the advice of his clients It's easier for Mervin to accept tips with his e-wallet. "It is quick and easy," Mervin said, adding that he doesn't have to approach his manager to receive his tips. Establishments are hesitant to add tips to the final bill because they are taxable.
Sajir SK, kirana shop owner Kochi-born, 30-year-old Sajir SK initially experienced a dip in business at his shop in Koramangala, but was quick to adopt online payments. "Almost 50% of the payments for groceries now happen through Paytm," he said. "I do not have a card machine." Sajir is even urging regular customers who previously used only cash to switch to a digital wallet.
When Suresh Kumar, an autorickshaw driver in Thiruvananthapuram, realised that his business was getting hit badly, he installed a card swipe machine in his vehicle. "Customers are happy," he said. "They just have to look at the meter and swipe the card." Although the innovation is new, Kumar is feeling the difference.
Cooperative banks are leading the journey towards a cashless economy in many parts of the state. Thenhipalam Co-operative Rural Bank near Kozhikode found in a survey that all the people in the area's lower income class and 90% of the middle class depended on the local market for their purchases.
"Since they all had their accounts in the bank, we saw an opportunity," said Srejith Mullassery, assistant secretary of the bank. The bank created a mobile app called COOPaisa with the help of a Kozhikode-based software developer to facilitate payments, a move that is transforming Thenhipalam and its neighbouring areas into a digital village. After purchasing a product or using a service, all that the buyer has to do is scan a code assigned to the seller to transfer money to the latter's account and complete the payment, he explained. In Kozhikode, the Calicut Town Service Cooperative Bank has also taken the digital route to overcome the cash crunch.
"M-Core, our mobile app, facilitates e-payment," said Sunil Kumar, secretary of the bank. Customers can use it to pay for purchases, he added. The bank has seven branches in the region.
Down by the hill shrine of Sabarimala, the temple administration decided to use a swipe machine for offerings. R Ravishanker, executive officer of the Tranvancore Devaswam, said collections in "e-Kanikka" have crossed `2 lakh in the past two weeks. The facility, installed by Dhanlaxmi Bank, helps pilgrims who may be short on lower-denomination notes. The minimum contribution is `10, he said. State Bank of Tranvancore, the largest in the state, said there have been almost 1,000 applications for the installation of swipe machines in the past 10 days. "What we now face is a shortage of the swipe machines," a bank spokesman said.
Unlike Tanti, Nur now prefers to withdraw money from ATMs. "I will learn how to withdraw money from ATM in detail from my supervisor and come back again," he said.
Atul Patel, 45, who has been engaged in diamond polishing for almost 20 years, just opened an account with Axis Bank and now withdraws money through ATMs. He currently works with Tiku Gems run by Dinesh Navadia, president of the Surat Diamond Association, who helped him to open the account.
"Since there is no other way to withdraw money now, I have opted for the ATM route to meet my daily expenses and send money to my family who lives in Manguka village in Gariadhar taluka of Bhavnagar district. Otherwise, I would have to stand in long queues in banks for at least two to three days to get money and that would have affected my work at the factory," said Patel. Earlier, Patel got his wages in cash. After demonetisation, his employer was unable to pay him in cash and so an account had to be opened to transfer wages.
Ravi Vasanthan runs a grinding mill at Thathankuppam near Villivakkam in Chennai. It's been two weeks since he started using Paytm to accept payments from customers. "I hadn't heard of it before. But after demonetisation, people from Paytm approached me and explained how it worked and how it might help in overcoming the crisis. It sounded like a good idea," he said.
Although customers are curious when they see the Paytm board hanging at the entrance, they aren't eager to utilise the option. "Technology sometimes scares people. People feel it's too complicated and opt to pay by cash," said Vasanthan, who has so far had only three customers paying via Paytm.
Subhash S, stationery shop owner Nearby, Subhash Stationeries, too, has found only three or four customers after availing of the digital wallet service, according to owner Subhash S. "If everybody adopts it, it might turn out to be a good idea. Just scan the QR code displayed here and from the customer's wallet, money directly reaches my account. No problem of torn notes, no need to give back chocolates instead of change," he quipped.
However, many customers don't have the facility on their phones to scan the code or lack the confidence to use it and end up sticking to cash payments, he said. Raju S, ironing shop operator Raju S, who runs Vivek Ironing shop, a small establishment on wheels, has had a different experience. He has a board displaying 'Payments accepted via Paytm' that attracts some curious customers. Those who have asked to use the service, though, have been disappointed.
RK Mobiles in Choolaimedu has been using Paytm for a month. Kaliyaperumal, who runs the shop, notes that although most customers are young and tech-savvy, not many use the facility for making payments. "Most of them have the app on their phones, but very few have money in the wallet. So they stick to traditional methods when it comes to payment," he said.
Tea stall owner Anjanalu, betel shop owner Sonu Mishra and mehendi artist Anil got the Paytm service within a fortnight of the demonetisation announcement. "Not out of compulsion, but out of choice," they emphasised, because each of them possessed a smartphone and it would not make sense to get a swipe machine for a makeshift stall, one of them remarked.
For Anjanalu, it was getting difficult to return change for a cup of tea that cost Rs 5. The fall in business led him to choose the digital mode of payment. He said the digital medium generates 25% of his daily income and the money is transferred to his bank account. Mehendi artist Anil had taken the online route a couple of years ago. With most of his revenue generated during the wedding season, the move has proved to be a boon, given the limit on cash withdrawals for wedding expenses. Recently, he started using Paytm and is now preparing to go cashless. "As our customers are sending payments directly into our bank accounts, it gets convenient for them. Secondly, working in a metro city with a large number of people using plastic money, choosing digital modes of payment was important for us to remain in business," said Anil.
Betel store owner Mishra, since switching to Paytm, now gets about 60% of his payments through the digital wallet, which he has also started using to clear bills. Amid the cash crunch, there haven't been any hiccups as several payments to vendors are made digitally.

Greenland glacier at record speed
Sermeq Kujalleq glacier at Ilulissat (2009) (I.Quaile)
I have been working on a story about whether the Arctic infrastructure would be able to cope with a shipping or oil spill accident, which is increasingly likely to occur as development speeds ahead. During the Arctic Frontiers conference in Tromso, I attended an interesting workshop on the topic, where the organisers, the Arctic Institute Center for Circumpolar Security Studies, came to what their experts describe as "worrisome" conclusions. Malte Humpert, Kathrin Keil and Marc Jacobsen presented three incident scenarios involving shipping and oil exploration in the Arctic. Jacobsen's scenario involved a giant cruise boat with 3000 people on board hitting an iceberg off the West Greenland Coast, near Ilulissat.
In 2009 I was in Ilulissat, working on radio features on climate change in Greenland. This is the Greenland of the tourist brochures, with a constantly changing panorama of icebergs floating past your hotel window – or porthole if you are on a ship. While I was there, the fragility of that beautiful glacier ice was brought home to me.
Icebergs off the coast of Ilulissat (I.Quaile)
The Sermeq Kujalleq glacier, also still known by its Danish name "Jakobshavn Isbrae", is the fastest flowing glacier in Greenland (or Antarctica, these two major ice sources being of key importance to global sea level). The icebergs which create the spectacle floating past the brightly coloured houses of Ilulissat, are breaking off from the glacier. Beautiful to look at, extremely worrying if you think about the background. Back in 2009, scientists were already telling me the glacier was speeding up. Now the latest research published in The Cryosphere (the journal of the European Geosciences Union) confirms that the summer flow of the ice mass has reached a record speed. The scientists, from the University of Washington in Seattle and the German Aerospace Center DLR, say the speeding up in 2013 was 30 to 50 percent higher than previous summers. The scientists analysed satellite images taken every 11 days from early 2009 to spring 2013. Satellite technology plays a key role in observing the ice. Two German radar satellites TerraSAR-X und TanDEM-X provide high resolution data that facilitates precise calculations, according to DLR. One of the authors, Dana Floricioiu from the DLR Earth Observation Center in Oberpfaffenhofen, told journalists it had been striking to see how much the glacier was changing within a very short time.
The researchers found that the glacier's average speed peaked at 46 metres per day during the summer of 2012. This is the fastest ever recorded for a glacier in Greenland or Antarctica. The big surges take place in summer, but the researchers say the average annual speed of the glacier over the last two years is almost three times what was measured in the 1990s. It is retreating by around 17 kilometres per year. The scientists say these speeds were achieved "as the glacier terminus appears to have retreated to the bottom of an over-deepened basin with a depth of around 1300 m below sea level. The terminus is likely to reach the deepest section of the trough within a few decades, after which it could rapidly retreat to the shallower regions some 50 km farther upstream, potentially by the end of this century".
The huge volume of ice going into the sea from the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier is already influencing sea level. The glacier drains around 6 percent of the massive Greenland ice sheet Scientists estimate it added about 1 millimetre to global sea levels from 2000 to 2010. The increased speed of the discharge will exacerbate this further.Badnews for people in low-lying coastal areas around the globe. And this is not the only Greenland glacier melting increasingly.
Summer night in Ilulissat
Coming back to the subject of disaster-preparedness – this glacier is thought to be the source of the iceberg that sank the Titanic in 1912. The Arctic Institute's scenario indicates that an accident like the "Costa Concordia", which happened in an easily accessible region with no ice or dangerous weather conditions, would have devastating consequences if it happened, say, off the coast of Ilulissat. Search and rescue, accommodation and medical treatment, lack of transport facilities, poor communications infrastructure, no adequate oil spill response technology for icy waters…. food for thought for companies looking to profit from the changing climate of the Arctic – and the governments that should be responsible for protecting humans, wildlife and that beautiful but fragile Arctic ecosystem.

Last call for Small Business California survey. We will be closing Monday. To date we have over 2600 responses. Please see below links for survey in English and Spanish. Thank you to all that have completed the survey and if you haven't please do so.
You may be interested to know that people in New York and Rhode Island are working with us to develop a similar survey. Also on Monday I hand delivered in Washington preliminary results of our survey to Senator Boxers office, Senator Snowes office, Speaker Pelosi's office and Congresswoman Speiers office. I also gave the survey to SBA Administrator Karen Mills and a staff person from the Senate Small Business Committee.
Thank you to all of you that sent letters opposing the 3% withholding for sole proprietors and Partnerships. Due to a tremendous response from the business community this has been put on a back burner. There , however, are no guarantees it won't raise its ugly head in the coming months as the budget gets put together.
Small Business California is closely watching this and will let you know if it comes back into play.
The Northern California Retail Booksellers Association is an affiliate member of Small Business California. I received a call from Assemblywoman Nancy Skinners office asking us to support legislation supporting brick and mortar stores to level the playing field on the sales tax. I asked Hut Landon the ED of the Booksellers Associationto give me his organizations position. Please note there are many small businesss impacted by this and not just booksellers.
The argument against this is that Amazon and Overstock will eliminate their affiliates in California.. Please note this provision has been passed in I believe 5 states and Amazon has eliminated affiliates in most states however they were very small states except New York. New York, I think has more sales than all the other states combined.
I will get back to Assemblywoman Skinners office with your comments.
The issue is should sales tax be charged on internet sales?
There are several reasons to support legislative efforts to compel Amazon.com, Overstock.com and other large out-of-state retailers to collect sales tax on sales made to California customers.
1. Let's start with the law. Consumers are legally obligated to pay sales tax on taxable items they purchase, whether from an independent business, a chain store, or Amazon. If you don't pay it at the time of purchase, you're still obligated to do so. It's called use tax. Look at your state tax form -- there's a place to record the amount you owe. No one does it, of course, but the tax is still owed. So this is not a new tax; we're only talking about how it's collected.
2. The law, part two. The California state tax code states that retailers with "nexus" in the state must collect sales tax. Nexus is most commonly defined as physical presence, so if you buy a pair of shoes on Macys.com, sales tax will be collected because Macy's has a physical presence in the state.
But the tax code also says that out-of-state sellers without a physical presence in the state have nexus if they have affiliates, or sales agents, operating on their behalf. In Amazon's case, they have literally thousands of affiliates driving traffic to its site in exchange for a commission on any sales that occur. For many such sales agents, Amazon provides weekly specials that can be emailed out as a further inducement to shop.
3. The consequences. Let's take any retail business and tell them that they now have a major competitor with deep pockets and an aggressive discount pricing model. That competitor also enjoys a nearly 10% price advantage because it does not collect sales tax. Unfortunately, this is not a hypothetical example. Amazon and Overstock alone are selling electronics, appliances, clothing, shoes, furniture, sporting goods, hardware, groceries, toys, auto parts, garden supplies, books, music, etc. If you or any business you know is selling anything on this list, they are up against competitors who have a huge competitive edge right out of the gate.
Now, if you don't care about small business and what they add to a neighborhood or a community, or the jobs they provide and create, you can stop reading. But small business are closing right and left because they can't compete with these out-of-state behemoths, especially in tough economic times. And the ones that are still around are having to cut back on the number of employees and benefits they provide, which only adds to the state's economic woes.
4. Fairness. These small merchants aren't asking for a handout or for special treatment, and many of them have successfully competed against chain stores for years. But it's tough to compete when they're at a 10% disadvantage for every single sale. Hardly a level playing field.
5. Why you should care. In addition to collecting sales tax for the state, these local businesses support local causes and charities, and are integral to vibrant, diverse shopping neighborhoods. And if that doesn't move you, consider this: the state Board of Equalization has stated that sales tax revenue lost to out-of-state e-tailers amounts to over $150 million annually. That's money that could be used to help schools, hire more police, retain essential health services, keep state parks open...you get the idea.
Here is the link to the Small Business California Survey in Spanish. Please forward it on to any of your colleagues and associates.
We have over 2500 responses to the survey as of last night and it would be helpful to get some input from the Hispanic small business owners in the state.
It looks like the stimulus money for 7a and 504 will run out Monday. The SBA will go back to the queue system. Expect a big drop off in loans starting next week.
I will be going to Washington on Sunday and meeting on Monday with Speaker Pelosi's staff, Congresswoman Speier's staff, Senator Boxers staff and Senator Snowes staff on this issue.
On Wednesday Assemblyman Mark Leno agreed to carry Small Business California's bill to have sales tax charged to manufactures of asphalt and concrete who compete with contractors on road work. This means they have a 6% plus bid preference when they bid on this work. Small contractors have been fighting this for about 20 years and went nowhere without Small Business California's help. Thanks to all of you that sent letters to Senator Leno's office in August.
Mayor Gavin Newsom is considering a run for Lt Governor. He has until March 12 to file the papers but he has until 5PM today submit a ballot statement for the voter guide. I am curious how small business around the state feels about Mayor Newsom. Would you support him?
I am particularly interested in how SF small businesses feel about this. If he should run and win he would have to resign as Mayor and the Board of Supervisors would select the new Mayor.
Many people don't realize that the Board can select anyone they want with 6 votes. It does not have to be a current member of the Board raising possibilities of Aaron Peskin past President of the Board of Supervisors being selected as Mayor.
We are going to be keeping our survey open one more week. To date we have 2365 respondents.
We expect today or tomorrow to have the survey in Spanish. If any of you can distribute the survey to Spanish speaking small business people let me know. Currently we have only 5% of the respondents identifying themselves as Hispanic and we would really like to see that number increase.
If you haven't completed the survey please do so and for all of you please forward to others. I don't know if it is doable but it would be great to have over 3000 respondents. Last year we had about 630.
In a real shock yesterday Senator Harry Reid stripped the Baucus/ Grassley bill of the $354 million for extending money for the 7a and 504 increase guarantees and the waiver of fees.
This after the White House applauded Senators Baucus and Grassley for working out a bipartisan jobs bill.
As I understand it the Senate will be in recess next week and the funding will run out at the latest February 28. I say at the latest February 28th because it is very possible there will be a rush to get loans approved before February 28 and I am hearing that it is more likely that funding will run out earlier.
I will get back to you with a strategy on what you might be able to do but if you have a pending loan push your Bank hard to get this funded immediately.
Small Business California will be sending a letter to Senators Feinstein and Boxer to ask them to do everything they can to get funding extended. They have been very supportive of this and both coauthored S2869 which provided the funding and an increase in SBA loan size from $2 million to $5 million.
Our survey received over 500 responses yesterday bringing the total responses to over 2000.
Please see letter below being sent to every state Assembly Person and State Senator. We need to have as many of you as possible send a letter of opposition to your Assembly Person and State Senator. The situation is that the 3% withholding could be included in a budget bill to be sent to the Governor in the next week or so as part of the 8th Special Legislative Special Session.
Please click on www.leginfo.ca.gov to identify your legislators and to contact them. I sent a sample letter earlier in the week but don't worry about the eloquence of your letter just that you oppose this and how it impacts you.
The California Chamber of Commerce has also sent out an alert on this issue.
I am pleased to tell you our annual survey just went over 1300 respondents. We are going to be keeping it open a couple more weeks as next week we will have it in Spanish also.
If you would like me to send the survey to you in Spanish so that you can distribute please let me know. I especially would like to hear from the Hispanic Associations that are on this email.
You all know that Small Business California has been working on the stimulus funding for SBA 7a and 504 loans to keep the 90% guarantees in place, waive the fees on these loans and increase the size of the loans from $2 million to $5 million. We are hearing that the Republicans seem to be okay with the allocation of this money to the 7a and 504 loans but are struggling with the increase to 5 million. The current money allocated for the guarantees and waiver of fees will run out the end of February.
As you can see Small Business California is extremely busy representing your interest. I hope you will consider joining Small Business California if you haven't done so already. The cost is $150 for businesses with sales of less than $1 million and $300 for businesses over 1 million. You can join by going to our website at www.smallbusinessclifornia.org or we can send you an application and invoice you if you ask us to do so by return email.
Thank you to all that responded saying you would send a letter of opposition to the 3% withholding for independent contractors. Please see sample letter below.
I think the easiest way for you to send is to go to http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/.
Click on legislator and put in your zip code. Go to your Senator and Assemblypersons site. Click on legislators contact site. It will ask you for personal information but in the comments say you are a small business owner and give the name of your company and why you oppose. Feel free to change the letter below anyway that works for you.
I am a small business owner in your district. My company, _____, employs ____ persons. We have been in business in ______ since ____.
I am writing to oppose the independent contractor withholding proposal. This is another budget gimmick that does not generate more revenue to the State of California. Instead, it merely accelerates monies that will already be paid to the State and imposes an onerous burden upon small businesses like my company.
Under this proposal, businesses in this state would be required to collect taxes from other businesses and we would serve as a collection agent for the State. The new expense of withholding and remitting these monies to the Franchise Tax Board would be a cost borne by small businesses like my company. Moreover, small businesses would effectively be providing interest-free loans to the state. Even if an independent contractor owes no state taxes, 3% will still be withheld, affecting our cash flow and impacting our business.
I believe this proposal is unreasonable and should be rejected by the Legislature. I would appreciate hearing from you at your earliest convenience whether you will oppose this harmful idea.
We now have 956 people responding to our survey. If you haven't completed please do so within the next week. As always forward to others and if you are an association please send to members. It would really be great even if you have sent to send one more time.
I am sorry for all the emails but something came up yesterday that could have a serious negative impact to small business. As you all know Small Business California wants to be known as a proactive organization but sometimes we just have to say no.
There is a movement afoot in Sacramento to impose a 3% withholding for independent contractors. So if you hire a sole proprietor or I think a company that is a partnership or LLP you would have to withhold 3% and send it to the state. The money will be held by the state and if there is a return it will be without interest.
Not only will this be a hardship for low margin businesses but another bookkeeping burden placed upon small business.
We need to make our voices heard to our legislators that this is a bad idea.
Please let me know if you would be willing to send a letter to your Assembly person or state Senator. Tell me where you are located.
We are getting close to 300 responses to our survey. Thank you to all that have completed the survey and the associations that have sent this to their members. I also want to thank those of you that have forwarded to your colleagues.
If you haven't completed please do so and forward.
You may have seen in the paper this morning that health care cost for 2009 have increased to 17.3% of GNP and this represents an increase over previous years. I can't think of a stronger argument that we need meaningful health reform in Washington and it is critical that we end partisan bickering between the Democrats and Republicans and get something meaningful done not just for small business but the future of our country.
I have mentioned that the President has recommended a $5000 tax credit for businesses with a net increase in employment. Many of you have indicated to me that you didn't understand how this works. Briefly you will get your credit on a quarterly basis by reducing what you pay in FICA taxes. It is not subtracted from profits. Please note that you take the credit on a quarterly basis after you have paid an employee $7000.
If you would like a more complete description of the credits please let me know.
Small Business California is working hard to get additional funding for the SBA 7a and 504 loans to continue the increased guarantees, the waiver of SBA fees on those loans and the increase to $5 million of loans the SBA can make. Time is running short as the current funding will run out the end of this month.
What I am hearing is that Senator Reid is talking about doing a number of Jobs bills starting with the provisions that have the best chance of passing. We are very hopeful that we can get S2869 into the initial bill and get it passed before the end of the month but quite frankly this appears like it will be very difficult and the SBA will run out of money.
We have had 127 responses to our survey. We expect to get over 600 and I hope you will take a few minutes to complete.
One of the most surprising results so far is that 23% of the respondents did not see themselves in business in three years. If you are one of those people I would be interested to know why and if you would be willing to talk to the media.
On Saturday Small Business California received the Business of the Year award from the Pacific Conservation League. We are proud of the work we are doing to assist small businesses in reducing their energy use and Hank Ryan our executive director is viewed not only in California but around the country as a small business energy expert.
Its that time of year that Small Business California sends out its an survey. This is the sixth annual survey and it will set Small Business California's agenda for the year. As always the results of the survey will be sent to every state legislator and the Governor.
Last year we had over 600 responses and a response from every county in the state.
The survey will take between 10 an 15 minutes.
Please also forward to other small businesses or your association members.All of you will also receive the results.
I would like to thank Jim Ross of Jim Ross Consulting for making this survey possible.

Q: Why does my short code get executed before other content? I have the following text in a page. As you can see my shortcode is right at the bottom but somehow when the code runs, the out put of my shortcode is inserted at the top of the page instead of following its preceding content.

[barcelona_address]

here is my short code registration inside the function.php file:
<?php
add_shortcode( 'barcelona_address', 'barcelona_shortcode_handler' );

function barcelona_address_func()
{
    print "

";
}

function barcelona_shortcode_handler( $atts, $content=null, $code="" )
{
   if (function_exists($code . "_func"))
   {
       call_user_func($code . "_func", $atts);
   }
}
?>

and the result is:

sdsdsds

A: By popular demand:
The solution is simply to replace print to return . Shortcodes should always return the value instead of printing or echoing it out.

Unite Against Racism Rally, April 9
Posted on April 8, 2010 by @ndy
The Age has video of the bonehead referred to below, as well as another inebriated woman who was ejected from the rally by police (I'm not sure what herstory was). The Melbourne Leader has photos here and Shane has moar here.
Update : Well, that was that. Several hundred people attended the UAR rally, which as announced began at midday, featured a dozen or more speakers, and ended a little after 2pm with a stroll up Swanston Street. As for the racists, the handful of meatheads who were silly enough to attend were forced to huddle together at Y&J's, the steps of Flinders Street station being fully occupied by their opponents. One inebriated bonehead — a Hammerskin, apparently — did try to convince police that he be allowed to cross the street, but the silly bugger was told that this was not possible, so had to content himself with moaning to his handful of mates.
That's the short version — the long version will come later.
In the meantime, one of the fascist groupuscles supporting the Melbourne rally — from the safe distance of Sydney — was the 'Australian Protectionist Party'. The APP is staging a mini Nuremberg Rally outside of Villawood Detention Centre this Sunday. Comrades in Sydney are urged to consider attending the counter-rally which has been organised to oppose the APP…
As noted, tomorrow (Friday April 9) there's a rally against racism in the city, one called, appropriately enough:
Pies in 2010!
Or, possibly, Unite Against Racism.
The rally was triggered by the announcement of a MASS RALLY AGAINST IMMIGRANTS AND ISLAM on Facebook (where else?) on March 17, 2010 by a group calling itself MELBOURNE ACTION AGAINST IMMIGRATION AND ISLAM (established at the same time).
Late this afternoon, the rally had attracted 40+ "confirmed guests" (perhaps only half of whom appear to be genuine in intent).
By way of contrast, well over 500 Facebook users have indicated that they will attend the counter-rally.
Given these facts, it's highly likely that the bigots who've organised the "MASS" rally will be outnumbered by a very wide margin, and may even be outnumbered by police. Beyond this, the miniscule 'Australian Protectionist Party' has loudly proclaimed its support for the rally, as have the racist teenyboppers belonging to the 'Southern Cross Soldiers', and a handful moar racists, fascists and neo-Nazis.
Sadly for them, this is Melbourne, not Cronulla.
Immigration rallies spark fears of violence
Saeed Saed
Melbourne Leader
AN ESTIMATED 400 pro- and anti-immigration supporters will square off in the CBD tomorrow amid fears of violence.
The anti-immigration rally, organised by the Melbourne Action against Immigration and Islam, will begin tomorrow at 1.30pm at Flinders St Station and finish with a march to Parliament House.
A Unite against Racism Rally counter-rally will be held at the same time and location.
Unite against Racism organiser Jacob Grech said [he] had been told police would be out in force during the rallies, with officers patrolling on horseback.
Mr Grech said more than 300 people would attend the rally, including the Greens' candidate for the state seat of Melbourne, Adam Bandt.
"The message of our rally is to celebrate Melbourne's diversity and letting the racists know that we don't want their racist violence in Melbourne's streets," he said.
"Their rally is the same kind of public displays that were taking place in Sydney a couple of months before the Cronulla riots."
As of today, 52 people had registered interest in attending the anti-immigration rally on the event's Facebook page. Site administrator Mark Hill was not available for comment.
Islamic Council of Victoria vice president Sherene Hassan urged Muslims not to attend the rally because of fears over potential violence.
"ICV is of the view that there is potential for violence if the two groups come in proximity to each other," she said.
Victoria Police spokeswoman Sen-Constable Mia Paterson would not provide details on police operations at tomorrow's rally.
But she said police were aware of the event and would be monitoring it.

God dammit!
When it is the "real deal" hardly anyone shows up. Now that it is only a bunch of random people you all show up.
Any violence comes on your heads for this [fascist] squash of views.
This can only be saved by a counter attack by some crazy skinheads attacking someone within the next two weeks.
Isn't this Cronulla 2? Large group gathering because they don't support somebody's way of life? Boy oh boy, I am [surprised] you are not attacking each other.
Like a dog going after its tail. I can [give] you a tip. Huge [fascist] rally on the 9th. For some reason people have forgot about opinion and have cast multiculturalism as right and everything else as wrong… Even with ZERO amount of proof.
ATndy special: Pop Culture!
Do you think anyone could like The Jetsons better than The Flintstones? I mean, Flintstones are a classic, Jetsons are underground.
Fascist Troll says:
Tell me this, when has an anti-fascistism [!] event ever been something other than the demonisation of white people in general? They call whites crackers, colonisers, murderers, devils, and every negative word you can imagine. The facts stand: Anti-Fascists hate whites; I have yet to see proof otherwise that contradicts this statement.
I love whites! My wife is white.
Jolly good show.
@ndy says:
Peaces N' Dreams,
Cut the dose.
Fascist Troll,
I'm a white person. I think I'm tops.

A man accused of violently stabbing to death a father on a train hid from reporters as he appeared in court.
Darren Shane Pencille, 35, appeared at Staines Magistrates' Court and Guildford Crown Court on Monday, charged with the murder of Lee Pomeroy.
The courts heard Mr Pomeroy, 51, was stabbed nine times on a train between Guildford and London Waterloo after a brief row broke out on Friday afternoon.
Pencille appeared in the dock at Staines Magistrates' Court wearing glasses and a prison-issue grey tracksuit.
He stood in the dock to confirm his name, date of birth and that he was British, telling magistrates he had no address during a hearing lasting just over two minutes.
Pencille then addressed magistrates from his seat, telling them: "Innocent until proven guilty."
He said: "I'm paranoid. I'm hearing voices."
Pencille did not enter pleas and chair of the bench Helen Mattey remanded him in custody.
Appearing later at Guildford Crown Court, Pencille and Chelsea Mitchell, from Willbury Road, in Farnham, who is charged with assisting an offender, were again remanded in custody.
Mitchell blew a kiss to people in the public gallery as she left the dock after a brief hearing.
Mr Pomeroy, who would have celebrated his 52nd birthday on Saturday, was described by his family as "an honourable man and would always help somebody who was in trouble".
Mr Pomeroy boarded the 12.58pm train service between Guildford and London Waterloo at London Road station on Friday afternoon.
Pencille and Mitchell will appear by prison video-link at Guildford Crown Court on February 7.

Home » Does Diet Affect Sperm?
The essential fatty acids that play a role in the prevention of heart disease may also improve a male's chances for paternity success, according to a new research paper published in the Royal Society journal Biology Letters.
Using artificial insemination techniques, researchers compared the competitiveness of sperm from guppies fed a diet rich in omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids with that of guppies fed a diet poor in the fatty acid. The results made it clear that the males fed the omega-3 diet enjoyed far greater success in siring offspring than their nutritionally deficient peers. According to Jon Evans, a professor of evolutionary biology at the University of Western Australia and one of the reports co-authors, these findings may have implications for a wide array of species because this essential fatty acid has been linked to several traits important to reproduction.
"This study is looking at a fish species, so it is not definitively relatable to human male fertility. But, the findings involving the impact of omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids on the fertility in this species are certainly intriguing. It begs the question of whether further study in human trials are warranted," says Dr. Parviz Kavoussi, an Austin, Texas, reproductive urologist who is widely recognized for his own research in the areas of sexual medicine and male fertility.
"We do know that sperm cells are some of the most sensitive cells in a man's body. They can easily be affected by environmental exposures, toxins, lifestyle and diet," explains Dr. Kavoussi. Infertility, which is diagnosed when a couple actively trying to establish a pregnancy fail to do so, can have several causes. For men, infertility can result from medications, infections, hormonal imbalances, genetic issues or environmental toxins. Physical problems like an ejaculation issue, a varicocele or a blocked duct can also trigger fertility troubles. Infertility specialists work to identify any underlying medical issues and correct them. Treatments used to increase the likelihood of a successful pregnancy can include surgical fixes, sperm retrieval, and changes to lifestyle or medications.
As a board certified physician at Austin Fertility Reproductive Medicine/Westlake IVF, the nation's only private fertility center that offers couples care from fellowship trained specialists in both male and female infertility, Dr. Kavoussi provides his patients with expert evaluations and care in matters of male infertility and sexual health. Active in patient care, research and academics, he is an acknowledged leader in the field of reproductive urology.
To make arrangements for a personal male infertility consultation with Dr. Kavoussi, call Austin Fertility and Reproductive Medicine/Westlake IVF at (512) 444-1414.

Québec Généalogie - What is a 'dit/dite' name? When the first settlers came to Québec from France it was a custom to add a 'dit' nickname to the surname. The English translation of 'dit' is 'said'. The Colonists of Nouvelle France added 'dit' names as distinguishers. A settler might have wanted to differentiate their family from their siblings by taking a 'dit' name that described the locale to which they had relocated. The acquiring of a 'dit' name might also be the result of a casual adoption, whereby the person wanted to honor the family who had raised them. Another reason was also to distinguish themselves by taking as a 'dit' name the town or village in France from which they originated. This custom ended around 1900 when people began using only one name, either the 'dit' nickname or their original surname.

The "Mail Rail" Post Office Railway.
Not the secret it used to be.
This was something we had planned to do back in September. We had booked our trip on the Post Office Railway a couple of days after it had opened. Unfortunately, a technical failure the previous day thwarted our attempt.
As we were coming in to London again today, we managed to rearrange our booking. Having had a long interest in railways, I had known of the existence of this line for many years. Most of the General Public probably didn't.
The line opened in 1927, although a smaller vacuum operated had operated previously between 1863 and 1874. The Post Office Railway was electric, and used driverless trains. It ran from Paddington to the Eastern Sorting Office at Whitechapel. Reduction in mail, and the closure of several sorting offices along the route eventually meant the end of the line, and it closed in May 2003.
A small section of the Post Office Railway has now reopened. This consists of a loop from the original main depot and works (where the above photograph was taken). This is in part of the Mount Pleasant sorting office. The trips runs down onto the main track, through Mount Pleasant station, then looping back round to the other side of the station and back to the depot.
It may only be a short trip, but it is fascinating and very well presented. If you are ever in the area, it is well worth a visit, although it is best to pre book your trip.
