SBDC offers help to start business

April 30, 2014
By MEL TOADVINE ( , Lehigh Acres Citizen

If you have wondered about starting your own business and need help in how you would go about it, where and how you would become licensed, and whether or not it is a good idea those concerns can be answered with the help of Elvis Collier, a certified business consultant who has been selected to help out those who want to go into business in Lehigh Acres and those who are in business already who may have questions needing answers.

Collier is with the SPDC from Florida Gulf Coast University and is in Lehigh three days a week to offer the services of the present and future business owners of the community.

The acronym SBDC stands for Small Business Development Center and the group serves all of Southwest Florida with business experts like Collier in helping all types of businesses to succeed.

Elvis Collier

There may be someone who has lost his or her job and are unemployed and have come up with an idea and would like to start a business, perhaps manufacturing or selling a product or service. There are many hurdles one must go through before that business can get underway, becoming licensed, meet legal requirements, and much more before one can put his or her shingle out advertising a new business.

That's where people like Elvis Collier come in.

With his education and background, he is able to guide those who are interested in a start-up business, in exactly the how's and do's that are vital. The service provided by the Florida SBDC is housed at Florida Gulf Coast University. There are others like Collier who have been assigned to different areas of the county with the same goals in mind, to help people start a business, and to guide people through questions that may arise after a business venture has been undertaken.

In addition to Collier, others in Lee County in the SBDC program are experts in different fields.

Collier says the first thing he looks for and hopes for is that the person who wants to start a business has a passion for it.

"That's more important than anything else. If it is only for money, one may think he or she may make, it may be set up for failure. But for those who really love what they want to do, are going to be successful," he said.

There are basically several categories six to be exact, according to Collier, that one must work at to begin what he calls the foundation of a new business.

"These are important six steps and can't be 'wobbly', but very critical fundamental stages for forming a foundation for a new business," Collier said.

Right off, Number One is to learn what Collier calls the legal structure that is required to start a new business. That includes how to incorporate, do a partnership, etc. Next comes learning how to identifying your fictional name for your new business, which basically means that you are using a name in the state for an already established business.

Thirdly, Collier says is learning how to gain your state licensing, the procedures one must go through and how to make it happen.

Fourth focuses on how to obtain a federal employer identification number, which is mainly for the IRS.

And fifth and sixth are how to take care of your federal, state and local taxes mainly by working through the tax collector of the county by registering your business, and how to obtain local licensing showing where you can operate your business in the county.

"It's really a path that will legitimate your business," Collier said.

Elvis Collier brings many years of business experience to his new job. He has spent more than 20 years in managing large numbers of employees, training and operations, human resources, P&K planning and has directed execution of company programs.

Collier has taught management at Griffin Technical College in Griffin Ga., and he has a bachelor of arts degree from Morehouse College, and a master of science degree from Suffolk University. He is a Ph.D. candidate at Barry University.

Collier says he will guide a potentially new business person through the preparation of a business plan, but more importantly than that, he says is a feasibility study to show the need in the community for such a business. No matter what the business is, if there is no market for it in the community, the business will very likely not be successful.

More intricate details are shared with the new entrepreneur showing that there are important expenses that must be realized, too.

Collier says without the proper financial numbers and costs behind the person, the new business man or woman may very well not make it. Those numbers include the cost of new expenses typically what it cost to run the business. Without those costs included, one cannot come up with a price for the service or product.

"Many people don't think of things like fuel that it takes to go to a place, the wear and tear on one's vehicle or vehicles and other items that if not figured into the feasibility study, the new business may not make it.

The absence of that core statement is why businesses come and go, Collier says.

"It's very important to be able to work in what it cost to conduct that business."

Included in the advice from Collier and other certified business consultants in the county who work out of FGCU, are what Collier calls "cross referrals," including others with other business expertise that would also work with the new business entrepreneurial person.

"These are very well qualified business professionals within the network at FGCU. For instance, one of the 20 business consultants may specialize in taxes there are experts in every field of business.

Collier is an expert in human relations. He knows the ins and outs of such workings as knowledge of the Affordable Care Act and how it affects your business in addition to several other topics, including hiring responsibilities.

One who wants to a business can get assistance from marketing experts and others such how to obtain a business loan.

But Collier continued to stress how important it is for one to be passionate about the business being planned.

"Love what you are doing," he said. "Don't just look at it for the money. It's as if you are married to the business you are planning. With that you are very likely be make it."

Collier says he has joined the Florida SBDC staff because he enjoys helping others to obtain their goals.

"I enjoy helping people when I was in business helping to restore properties, I would look back and say to myself 'it was a job well done' so if I can help others enjoy their jobs, that is what it all about."

Collier and Suzanne Specht, the assistant director of Florida SBDC at the university, gave a brief presentation last week at the regular meeting of the Community Council of Lehigh Acres.

The main offices are located in the Lutgert College of Business building at 10501 FGCU Blvd. in Fort Myers. You can also gain more information by going online to: or call the campus at 239-745-3700.

Tell them you are from Lehigh and want help in starting a business and they will start the process.

You can contact Collier at 369-3322 at the Greater Lehigh Acres Chamber of Commerce. You can call and make an appointment to see him. You may also walk in to the chamber offices on Thursdays. He works out of the chamber office Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

At the meeting Specht said there were more than 1,200 small businesses in Lehigh Acres. She noted that each business hired employees from the area.

Collier said that it is his goal to bring more people into the business community and with the help of the SBDC, make them strong and viable so more people can be hired. And that means jobs in Lehigh.

"You know, it is the small businesses in American that are the backbone on our economy that is why it is so important to help," he said.

Potternewton Hall, Potternewton Lane

Potternewton Hall, Potternewton Lane
Undated. Image shows Potternewton Hall, located in Potternewton Lane and built in the early 1700s. White urns and seating are arranged around a lawn with a central fountain. In 1860, the Hall was owned by Francis Lupton Esq. In 1870, the adjoined estate, Newton Hall, was sold to Francis Lupton (of Beechwood Estate, Roundhay) and his brother Darnton by their brother Arthur Lupton (1809-1889) who had owned Newton Hall (previously known as Low Hall) since the early 1840s. Francis' granddaughter, Olive Middleton, had been born and grew up on her family's Potternewton /Newton Park Estate. Olive Middleton is the great grandmother of Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge. From 1860, Arthur Lupton was leasing the adjacent Potternewton Lodge from the Barker/Ray family. By 1910, the New Briggate Development Company bought a half share in the Lupton-owned estates. The will of Francis Lupton's son - Francis Martineau Lupton (died 1921) - does not list all the property he had put into trust but reveals it will benefit from the income from "real or leasehold properties" which his trustees should "generally manage...according to their absolute discretion". By 1927, Agnes Lupton and the New Briggate Development Company had sold the site to United Newspapers (est. 1918) Ltd. The Yorkshire Post had, in October 1933, advertised that "the Newton Hall Estate is the largest private building enterprise in Leeds". In 1921, Francis Martineau Lupton's daughters, Olive and Anne, had inherited both a stake in the New Briggate Development Company and the family woollen manufacturing business - William Lupton and Sons Ltd. - which had been managed by Olive's husband, solicitor Richard Noel Middleton (died 1951). When Olive Middleton died in 1936, her will shows that she left a personal estate of £52,031. Olive's will also discloses that by 1936 there were three separate family trusts in operation controlling the bulk of her and her family's fortune. Olive's will does not discuss her specific investments, but suggests they included "railway and other company shares" held in the trust. William Lupton and Co. Ltd. was sold to Hainsworth in 1958.

Alejandro Escovedo and his friends

At 61, Alejandro Escovedo still looks and moves like a young rocker with something to prove, but he’s been kicking around for 35 years. From early punks The Nuns to the groundbreaking roots-rock bands Rank and File and True Believers, followed by two decades of influential solo work, Escovedo still seeks out new experiences.

For his latest album, Big Station (out June 5), he co-wrote songs with old pal Chuck Prophet in Baja, then went home to record them with producer Tony Visconti, best known for his 1970s work with David Bowie and T. Rex. Escovedo also recently received praise for performances with Bruce Springsteen.

LEO: How do you write with Chuck? Do you guys sit together in a room, or work individually?

Alejandro Escovedo: No, we sit in a room together. We go to visit each other, he comes to Texas or I go to San Francisco. We work pretty hard, we have a lot of fun doing it. I’ve been writing with him since (2008 album) Real Animal, and this is our third record together.

LEO: What about Tony Visconti? Some of his best-known productions are fairly grandiose, but you’re more of a street-level guy.

AE: Yeah … it’s really easy to work with Tony. We’ve done three albums now, and he’s become part of the band, pretty much. I think we work very well together, I think the combination is great because … I mean, he brings such a vast musical vocabulary and history with him — those are the kind of records I still listen to and have listened to all my life. I feel very comfortable with him, the way we both bring really great things out in each other. I love working with Tony, and I hope to make many more records with Tony.

LEO: We’re in an election year, so with this new album coming out, there’s some songs you wrote about your heritage and border issues. Were you consciously thinking about the ugliness of the political world, like some of the problems in Texas and Arizona?

AE: You know, when Chuck and I sat down to write this album, we knew that it was going to be about … observing the world, rather than writing about what was internal; more about the world around us. Chuck and I went down to Mexico to write, so there were a lot of things that we saw down there that we wanted to write about. As a result, we wrote “Sally Was a Cop,” “Can’t Make Me Run,” “Bottom of the World,” songs like that. It was a result of that experience.

LEO: Were you in a beautiful beach area or a poor rural area?

AE: : Well, it’s both. It’s all there. It’s beautiful. But it’s sad to see how intimidated people have become as a result of the violence and everything.

LEO: You got a lot of good attention at South by Southwest in March. What’s it like having that extra Bruce spotlight shine down on you?

AE: Well, you know, it’s wonderful. He’s a great guy, a very generous man, he’s very cool. I just like playing with him. It’s all very, very good for me.

LEO: Did you know each other before you hooked up with his management team?

AE: No, I didn’t know him. He picks the songs that are played before his concerts, and he used to play me — he even played Rank and File songs.

LEO: You’ve been to Louisville many times before and did some recording recently in Lexington. Why didn’t you record there again?

AE: Big Station we did in Austin, I wanted to come home and do it. I’m glad we made the record here … but I love Lexington, and that studio is amazing. Those two albums sound so good, and I really enjoyed the crew there and the experience there is amazing. I hope to go back and make another record there.

Spirit on the Water: A conversation with Jim James about My Morning Jacket’s new album,
his side projects and who he is going to see at Forecastle

For a band over the 15-year mark, My Morning Jacket’s newest album, “The Waterfall,” is an incredibly ambitious and restless entry into their discography. And while some of that has to do with the big, rock gods-apeasing guitars, the swan dives into ’80s synth-pop and the unapologetic flirting with prog-rock, at least an equal share belongs to the reverb-fueled vocals from Jim James, which bend and break, taking on multiple personalities, ranging from chilly and sad to spacey and sugary.

There’s a fine line between cheesy and innovative, and My Morning Jacket continues to walk that line well — content as the oddball, essentially uncategorizable, band that journalists continue to ask whether or not they wish they had a radio hit, when, in reality, they’re actually bigger than what makes sense in the rock/pop landscape from their debut in 1999 to present. Don’t get me wrong, they deserve to be where they are. But that rise didn’t happen because they fell or forced their way into the right vacuum, it happened for the same reason that the current product is solid: the unfiltered, freak flag cocktail of more genres than I can probably name off the top of my head mixed with a forward-moving, DIY spirit has served them well. To find the path to Cumulus would mean leaving all that behind, which makes little sense.

LEO recently caught up with James to talk about the new album, how going into the studio is different now compared to in the band’s beginning, who he is looking forward to watching at Forecastle and how his side projects help bring new life to My Morning Jacket.

LEO: To me, “The Waterfall” is a good example of how My Morning Jacket can move in a lot of different directions, but can still maintain a distinct sound. Is that sort of evolution something that you guys think a lot about or does it happen naturally?
Jim James: It just happens naturally — at least for me. I hear some of these new different things, try some different things. We always try to switch up the place that we go to. I feel like there are so many elements, just in life, that make everything different already. It’s not like we’re necessarily trying to make it different, but I think we actually want it to be different, though. I guess maybe a little of both.

LEO: Do you ever listen to past records before you record? Or is that something that you stay away from?
JJ: I find it hard, once we’re done with a record, to listen to it ever again — unless I have to reference it for some reason. I keep them all with me, so if we’re on the road and we want to play a song that we haven’t played in a while, I listen to it and try to remember the chords or whatever.

LEO: What are some of the differences that you notice between when My Morning Jacket goes into the studio now compared to when you went in the late ’90s? How has the recording process changed for the band?
JJ: That’s a great question. We were just thinking about that because we just remixed our third record, “It Still Moves,” for the ATO 16th anniversary. It was just funny how different it all was. [And I’m not saying] it was better or worse; it was just so different. To think of how we’ve all changed in our lives, we’re different people now than we were ten years ago. So, when you hear yourself ten years ago, it brings back memories of what made you that way, up until that point. I think, as you grow older, you grow more cautious, you learn more things. When you’re first starting out, you don’t know as much, so you’re kind of blindly navigating through the tunnel of what’s going to be good or bad.

LEO: Kind of along the same lines, what were the differences from the sessions of the last album, 2011’s “Circuital,” to “The Waterfall?”
JJ: It was really different because we did the last record here in Louisville, in this gymnasium, in a church. We brought in all our own gear. One session was super hot, the next session was super cold. We had a lot of fun, but it was difficult. For this last one, “The Waterfall,” we were at Stinson Beach. It was kind of a studio, but we still brought in a ton of our own gear. Stinson Beach is right on the ocean. I feel like I’m really affected by water and the ocean. Just being able to see the ocean from the window of the room we were playing in was such an experience. They couldn’t have been more different.

LEO: From the sessions from “The Waterfall,” you guys have another record in the bag, right?
JJ: Yeah, about 70 percent of one.

LEO: Is this next record related to “The Waterfall” conceptually in any way or will it completely stand on its own?
JJ: It’s completely different. I have a ton of demos and we kind of went into [“The Waterfall” sessions] with no goal, no timeframe, no conceptual idea. We just wanted to go somewhere and start playing songs and let the chips fall where they may.

LEO: When you guys toured with Bob Dylan in 2013, what sort of impact did that have on you when you recorded “The New Basement Tapes?” [“Lost on the River: The New Basement Tapes” was an album of recently uncovered, unreleased and handwritten Dylan lyrics from around the time he and The Band recorded “The Basement Tapes.” It was produced by T Bone Burnett and featured James, Elvis Costello, Taylor Goldsmith, Rhiannon Giddens and Marcus Mumford.]
JJ: It was crazy getting to sing with Bob on that tour, the Americanarama Tour. Jeff [Tweedy, from Wilco] and I got to sing with Bob five or six times. I never thought that would happen, especially on that tour — the first two or three weeks had gone by and we had never seen Bob or heard from Bob. Then one night we got the invitation to sing with him. That was such an honor, to share the stage with him. And, then, to get the offer to do “The New Basement Tapes,” it was really special. Again, I never had one conversation with him off the stage. But getting to share the stage with him, and, of course, his music means so music to me … and getting to work with those lost lyrics — it was pretty unbelievable.

LEO: Do your side projects allow you to recharge the batteries on My Morning Jacket? Do short breaks bring new perspective to the band?
JJ: Absolutely. We all believe that music should be free. You should be free to do what you want and to explore. And I think that definitely brings a lot of new ideas. It really opens me up because I don’t feel restricted at all. And that makes me love something more.

LEO: You’ve toured heavily through the years and have sustained some injuries and have had some health issues because of it. Is there anything that you do differently now when you’re on the road?
JJ: Yeah, we try to make our schedule a little smarter and I try to take care of myself a little better. I do Pilates, been trying to learn how to stretch and get more physically ready for shows, do more exercising and walking.

LEO: My Morning Jacket recently played two secret shows at Headliners, which is the first time in around a decade that the band has been on that stage. What was that like?
JJ: I go there all the time. So, it wasn’t like I hadn’t been there in a long time and I’ve guested with a few people here and there over the years, but it was pretty unbelievable. That was one of the first real clubs that we ever played. It was a trip down memory lane, but it also felt appropriate somehow.

LEO: What are some of the bands at this year’s Forecastle that you are looking forward to checking out?
JJ: You know what … I have no idea who else is playing. [laughs]. Do you know any of the bands off the top of your head?

LEO: Umm … the headliners, besides you guys, are Widespread Panic, Modest Mouse, Sam Smith, Houdmouth …
JJ: I love Houndmouth. I’m always excited to see them. Let’s see here; I’m looking at it online … I’m looking forward to seeing Sturgill Simpson. He’s from Kentucky. I’ve never seen him before. I’ve heard The Lone Bellow is good. There’s a band from Louisville called White Reaper, who is coming up. A band called Twin Limb that I really love, who I think is one of the best new bands I’ve seen in a long time.

LEO: Is there a unique sort of energy to headlining a festival in your hometown?
JJ: Oh, my god, yeah. Every time we play Louisville it’s always really unique — there are so many memories and so many people we know. It’s a really special thing.

NokiaNokia Photokina booth : Nokia set up its booth in a strategic position between the digital camera manufacturers. The striking white Nokia booth showed its newest compact camphones, some in combination with an Epson mini-printer, others with only a headphone. There is no stopping of the camphone's mars, which is on the up and up and although photographers stubbornly refuse to consider the little wonder gadget as a camera, the rest of us can't get enough of it. No wonder - you always have your mobile with you and you can capture any nice moments directly with the inbuilt camera.
Nokia Photokina boothNokia N95 camphone - Carl Zeiss lens
The new Nokia N95 camphone is evidence that Nokia is taking digital photography seriously. This little mobile has an inbuilt camera and can take photos in a resolution of 5 Megapixels. Although there is still some difference in quality, every new mobile on the market shows improvements in image processing and processing software. It looks as if it is only a matter of time before (most) of the digital compact camera market is re-divided into camphones and compact cameras.

Nokia Photokina booth
The Nokia N95 is a show stealer. It has a 5 Megapixel sensor and a Carl Zeiss lens which lets you take high quality photos and video recordings. The TV out interface makes it possible to play recordings directly on a TV. Of course, you can also admire the pictures in the display. The 2.6 inch format display gives an attractive reproduction of the pictures that are also saved on a microSD flash memory card. Style and functionality coming together to form a powerful combination!

Before the Lewis and Clark expedition was conceived, while it was under way, and for several decades after it was completed, the technology that would open up its visual history to a wider audience lay dormant.

In 1798 a German actor-playwright-turned-printer named Alois Senefelder (1771-1834) discovered the principle of lithography, relying upon simple chemical principles—the mutual repulsion of oil and water, and the mutual attraction of water and salt.

Alois Senefelder 1818
by Lorenz Quaglio (1793-1869)

A design or picture, including text, is drawn on the delicately grainy, slightly porous limestone1 surface with a wax crayon or a black greasy concoction called tusche. A mixture of gum Arabic and nitric acid is brushed over the stone, which is then dusted with resin and powdered talc, forming a barrier around all the parts of the image and sealing the exposed stone. The stone is then moistened with water, which is attracted to the salt layer but repelled by the wax image. An oily ink, which is repelled by the water but attracted by the wax base, is rolled over the image. A sheet of paper is placed over the image and scraped with a leather-covered pressure block to transfer the inked image onto the paper. The result, in the lingo of the present digital age is (pronounced exactly as it is spelled), WYSIWYG—"What You See Is What You Get." In other words, lithography brought the artist many steps closer to the printed version of his work than ever before.

Senefelder patented his technique throughout Europe, but did not publicize the details of what he called "stone-printing" or "chemical printing" until 1818. The following year his book appeared in English as A Complete Course of Lithography; which remained the standard guide to the process until the early 20th century.

The transition from engraving to lithography was slow. The first lithograph in the U.S. was printed in 1818; New York had a lithographer in business in 1821; but it was 1829 before anyone in Philadelphia joined the trend.2 Between 1827 and 1839 John James Audubon, who quickly became the most famous of all American natural history artists, published The Birds of North America as hand-colored copperplate engravings, with a few etchings and aquatints included. However, the three-volume Audubon-Bachman Quadrupeds of North America, begun in 1839 and completed in 1852, consisted of 150 lithographs by the talented William Hitchcock and hand-colored by J. T. Bowen under the artist's supervision. Samples of their work can be seen in "Western Whitetail", "Another Curious Deer", and in the lithographs based on the drawings that Titian Ramsay Peale (1799-1885) made in 1819-20 for the Stephen Long expedition, including his depiction of a mule deer.

The fine-grained texture of Solnhofen limestone produces a continuous-tone, dark-to-light shade as the pressure on the crayon varies. The heavier the pressure, the more the spaces between the grains are filled in with wax.The edge of this stone bears a record of its working history in dribbles of the colors of ink used.

The advantages of lithography established a new era in the printing of graphics. It stimulated an increasing popular interest in printed illustrations. For example, and by far the most familiar example, the Boston-based partnership of Currier & Ives made lithography a household word, documenting a broad spectrum of everyday life in 19th-century America from 1835 until the beginning of the 20th century. They established wholesale outlets throughout the U.S., unashamedly touting their prints—which today are the epitome of the best in kitsch—as "Cheap and Popular Pictures," popularly referred to as "wall-hangings." Currier and Ives ultimately turned out more than 7,000 reality-based lithographs in runs sometimes of thousands of copies each, catering to a mass market, and priced accordingly. Currier, who was the print publisher, was not equipped to produce chromolithographs, so robust colors were added to black-and-white prints in the old-fashioned way, by a crew of a dozen or more women wielding brushes in production lines, one color per painter.

Whereas engraving involved a succession of steps, required proofing at every step, and allowed only comparatively minor corrections, a lithograph basically required one step and one proof. Consequently it was faster and therefore cheaper—generally, one-seventh the cost of copperplate engraving. As many as 30 or 40 lithographs could be "pulled"—finished, except for drying—in an hour, whereas high-quality engravings and etchings of comparable size could be produced at the rate of seldom more than six per hour. Although the Solnhofen limestone was considerably more expensive than copperplate to import, a stone could be erased, or "grained," with carborundum, and could be used for thousands of successive images, whereas a used copperplate could be difficult if not impossible to recycle. Above all, it relieved the artist of any necessity to surrender the key steps in graphic reproduction to assistants, unless he chose to.

Color lithography, sometimes called chromolithography, emerged around 1850, but was not widely used until after the Civil War. The procedure required the use of several stones, one bearing the key image, the rest for areas or washes of different colors, which were printed successively on the same sheet of paper. A greater variety of effects was eventually achieved by overprinting colors. In both cases, the precise alignment, or "registration," of the successive stone plates on the press—each weighing between 100 and 200 pounds, was the main technical challenge.

The detail outlined above, enlarged approximately 55 times, shows part of the key image, consisting of a full range of densities from solid through very light tones, which have been created by drawing with a wax crayon on the minutely pebbly surface of the stone . The key has been printed in a dark green ink (No. 1, below). Two shades of tan (No's. 2, 3) applied to selected areas of the image, have been overprinted from separate stones.

1-Dark Green

Copies of some of the 70 chromolithographs published in the Reports of Explorations and Surveys may be found on Discovering Lewis & Clark® at Lower Marias River, Milk River, Mouse River Trail, Lolo Hot Springs, and others.

Beginning early in the 20th century, photographic half-tone reproduction processes,4 as well as the introduction of four-color presses, replaced lithography in the commercial printing industry. Still, chromolithography has remained highly valued as an artistic medium, inspired by the work of major artists such as Théodore Géricault (1791-1824), Honoré Daumier (1808-1879), Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), and Salvador Dali (1904-1989). Yet the historic engravings and lithographs that illuminated the story of the Lewis and Clark expedition during its first century are reminders of the technologies that first shed the light.

1. In Senefelder's day the best limestone for lithography was found only near Solnhofen, between Munich and N¸rnberg on the Danube River in Bavaria, in a fossilized late Jurassic mud bank that cleaves easily into thin layers. A two-foot-thick layer of similar limestone has since been discovered in Iowa.

2. Victor Strauss, ed., The Lithographer's Manual: A Compendium of Lithography, 2 vols. (New York: Waltwin Publishing Company, 1958), 1:4.

3. Reports of Explorations and Surveys, to Ascertain the Most Practicable and Economical Route for a Railroad from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean, M ade Under the Direction of the Secretary of War, in 1853–55. 12 vols. (Washington, D.C.: Thomas H. Ford, 1860) Vol. 12, Part 1, Plate 45.

4. Half-tone color printing, which is still the standard method of print reproduction, involves the breaking-up of images into dots by photographing them through screens that produces between 50 and 150 or more dots, or "lines," per inch. The dot pattern is exposed, or "burned," onto a printing plate—metal for longer press runs or even paper for very short or low-priced runs. The basic four-color process combines cyan (blue), magenta (red), yellow, and black inks into a full range of colors by running the paper through a printing press four times, one color per impression, or once through a linked series of four presses. Fine-art prints, or tint-sensitive scientific artwork, may be separated into more than four colors—eight to twelve or more. Digital technology, which dates from the late 1980s, translates every value into pixels, which in turn are expressed in strings of ones and zeroes.

NY Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard’s apology: Gay slur a Twitter ‘mishap’

Tuesday, December 18, 2012

Newly acquired New York Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard issued an apology Tuesday after becoming the latest professional athlete caught for tweeting an anti-gay slur.

Syndergaard, 20, acquired Monday from the Toronto Blue Jays in a highly publicized deal, reportedly sent a tweet to minor league player Dayton Marze earlier this month, commenting on Marze’s footwear: “@DMarze89 nice crocs fag lol”, according to the New York Daily News.

Noah Syndergaard

During a conference call with New York media on Tuesday, Syndergaard called the incident a Twitter “mishap.”

“I had a little mishap on Twitter about a month ago, and it was just brought to the attention this morning,” Syndergaard said.

“I’d just like to apologize for anything that was said. A buddy and I were having a little conversation. I had a poor attempt at humor and an even worse attempt at using a term I shouldn’t have used. I hope I didn’t offend anybody.

“I’m really sorry my first introduction to being a New York Met had to be like this.”

The tweet, posted on Dec. 9 by Syndergaard, has since been deleted from his timeline, but a spokesman for the Mets said the team was investigating the incident.

It was just three months ago when Syndergaard’s former team mate, then-Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Yunel Escobar wrote “tu ere maricon” (“you are a faggot”) on his eye block.

Escobar was dealt a three-game suspension for that slur, forfeiting wages of $82,000., which was donated to LGBT causes.

Commercial Solvents Corp.

List of Deals

Commercial Solvents Corporation (CSC) was created in 1919. The corporation had started in Terre Haute as early as 1917 to convert Midwest grain surpluses into solvents by fermentation and also later to produce riboflavin and other nutrients by microbial action.

Commercial Solvents Corporation was established at the end of World War I and earned distinction as the pioneer producer of acetone and butanol by fermentation processes developed and patented by Dr. Chaim Weizmann. Terre Haute, Indiana, was selected as the home of CSC research because the location made possible the convenient translation of new processes from laboratory and pilot-plant to full-scale production.

The products of the company included basic and intermediate chemicals to be used in agriculture and industry, animal health and nutrition products, industrial explosives and some products for human use. The products were marketed throughout the United States and abroad. The corporation also made and marketed a line of agricultural products for farm crops, livestock, and poultry. Products included nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers, antibiotic and vitamin feed supplements and premixes, and selective pesticides.

CSC operated in two major areas of chemical technology: high-pressure synthesis chemistry and fermentation chemistry. The company specialized in converting substantial portions of the chemicals by processes based on various technologies. The principal raw materials used were natural gas for high-pressure synthesis operations and agricultural materials for fermentation operations

In 1927 it began its utilization of high-pressure synthesis technology with the development of a process for making synthetic methanol. In 1931 it assumed management responsibilities for Thermatomic Carbon Company, a producer of thermal carbon blacks for certain types of rubber products. CSC acquired a majority interest of Thermatomic in 1936 and 100 percent of the ownership in 1957.

CSC entered the animal nutrition field in 1936 with the development of fermentation processes for the production of riboflavin, a vitamin in the B-complex group, used as a feed supplement.

In 1946 nitrogen fertilizer operations were started with the purchase of its Sterlington, Louisiana, plant, which was later expanded to produce nitrogen solutions and solid ammonium nitrate for agriculture, in addition to methanol and other chemicals made from natural gas. The production of antibiotics for human health was initiated in 1944 when CSC developed a process for the volume production of penicillin by deep-tank fermentation and became the first to mass-produce a crystalline form of penicillin that broadened the use of penicillin and eliminated the need for refrigeration while awaiting use. By the early 1950s, due to the overproduction of penicillin across the industry, CSC began to produce other antibiotics and developed bacitracin, cycloserine, and zinc bacitracin.

CSC became an integrated producer of chemicals made from natural gas in 1959 when it acquired the assets of Louisiana Gas Production Company. In 1965 CSC announced the development of new processes and technology for the nitration of natural gas. In 1960 CSC acquired a controlling interest in Societa Hoffmann, p.A., of Rome, Italy, a pharmaceutical firm, and in 1962 it acquired a 51 percent interest in Istituto Chemioterapico Italiano, S.p.A., a pharmaceutical firm in Milan, Italy. In 1962 it purchased the business and assets of McWhorter Chemicals, Inc., a resins producer, and in 1963 it purchased Olin Mathieson's industrial explosives business.

In 1965 CSC and Purdue University announced the discovery and early development of the resorcylic acid lactones, a class of estrogenic chemicals. The original research leading to the discovery of resorcylic acid lactones, performed by professors at Purdue, lead to their obtaining a U. S. patent assigned to the Perdue Research Foundation.

CSC needed to maintain a competitive edge in all areas of its business since it was not a dominant player with respect to any particular one of the markets it served. CSC's principal subsidiary, Northwest Nitro-Chemicals Ltd., produced high-analysis nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers.

The book, One Thing Leads to Another: the Growth of an Industry, by Fred C. Kelly (1936) was written about Commercial Solvents Corporation and is held in the Baker Old Class collection.

5 Websites for Free Stock Photos Download

In this guest post,  Ken Myers shares 5 websites where you can download professional stock photos for FREE!

When it comes to your website you know that having visuals is a great way to catch people’s attention. As the vast majority of internet users are visually oriented, an image on your webpage can increase your traffic and draw attention to posts or places that you want visitors to click or read.

With that in mind you also do not want to spend a lot of money adding images to your website. However you do want professional looking pictures that amplify your website rather than make it look shabby.

Well, here are five great sites where you can find professional stock photography for free:

1. FreeDigitalPhotos

FreeDigitalPhotos is my absolute favorite site to get free stock photos. Everything on their site comes in a free version.

The small size which is around four hundred pixels wide is always free to download and use with an attribution. After that it is only a few dollars to upgrade the size or buy the photo for use without attribution.

Almost all the images are professional quality and it is very easy to download the images. You do not have to sign up for an account or anything!

With an intuitive search engine and an easy to find photo format, this site is definitely the first place I look for free stock photos for my website.

2. Woophy

Woophy free photo site has an unusual name but it stands for world of Photography.

The great advantage to this site is that you have access to professional photographs from all over the world. There is even a map that you can click to see photos from different areas.

It is a great site to find images for an ethnically diverse website or specific cultural images. Look up images by city, country or subject.

3. Stock Vault

Stock Vault is a great source for more artsy photos. If you love color, bright lights, and unusual shots then this is a great site to check out. It is also good because they offer large photos for free as well, not just small ones.

Unfortunately it is owned by ShutterStock, so many times it will refer you to paid images on that site.

4. Morgue File

Morgue File is a great one for a mix of professional and non-professional images.

With photographs in sizes no less than 800 x 600 pixels, there are a wide variety of images that you can find to use on your website.

Attribution is required, but you can contact the original photographers and see if you can purchase the photo for cheap. Best of all, all the images on this site are free!

5. Stock.xchng

Stock.xchng free photograph site is full of great images that are royalty free. You can use and distribute these stock photos anywhere and most of them are very high quality. Although they do not have a large range of images to choose from there are some very good stock photographs on this site.

These are just a few of the free photo sites that you can find online. As I said, each one has its pros and cons, but if you are looking for a great free image for your website you can check out these five great sites!

Editor’s note: This is a guest post by Ken Myers, the founder of http://www.longhornleads.com/ & has learned over the years the importance of focusing on what the customer is looking for and literally serving it to them. He doesn’t try to create a need; instead he tries to satisfy the existing demand for information on products and services. If you would like to contribute too, please contact me.

A Just War

Throughout His public ministry, Jesus spoke out against the scribes and the Pharisees. Christ sums up His case against them in Matthew 23 as He teaches multitudes and His disciples at the temple on the Tuesday of Passion Week.

Christ begins with an important disclaimer. When the scribes and Pharisees “sit in Moses’ seat,” propounding what is taught in God’s Word as delivered by Moses, they are to be obeyed. Jesus’ quarrel is not with Scripture or with the things commanded in the law of God. He affirms what Paul later says: “The law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good” (Rom. 7:12 kjv).

What Christ opposes is the hypocrisy of religious leaders who, despite their confessional orthodoxy and zeal for the law, “say, and do not” (Matt. 23:3). They impose impossible duties on others while exempting themselves, Jesus says. And they perform their devotion in public “to be seen of men” (v. 5), using “supersized” tefillin, or phylacteries, and making the tsit-tsit (fringes on their ritual garments) as long as possible as they compete for the best seats at banquets or the synagogues and hail one another loudly in the marketplaces, crying, “Rabbi, Rabbi!” (v. 7).

This indictment of religious exhibitionism makes us wonder what Christ would say about the celebrity status of many Christian leaders in America today. Christ calls for a different kind of leadership — one that involves self-denial and abasement. He says, “He that is greatest among you shall be your servant…. He that shall humble himself shall be exalted” (vv. 11–12).

Christ then denounces seven specific sins of the Pharisees: spiritual obstructionism; the love of money concealed in a pose of piety; aggressive recruitment of others for their party; ethical hairsplitting and specious exegesis; majoring in minors while omitting “the weightier matters of the law” (v. 23); and promoting a righteousness that is merely external while leaving the corruption of the inner man untouched. Finally, Jesus faults the Pharisees for their devotion to deceased saints and prophets, and He indicts their fathers for resisting and killing the prophets. The Pharisees are no different from their fathers, Jesus says.

Christ concludes with a fearful question: “Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?” (v. 33). He predicts what will happen in the days of the apostles, when He, as the risen Christ, will send “prophets, and wise men, and scribes” (v. 34) to confront unbelieving Jews. They will face persecution, scourging, crucifixion, and death, “that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth” (v. 35). He warns the Pharisees that the punishment for the crimes of unbelief will soon overtake them.

Christ leaves Jerusalem with an exclamation that mingles righteous anger with tender love: “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!” (v. 37). Clearly, the unbelief of His people has broken Christ’s heart. Sadly, Christians throughout history have often harbored feelings of hatred, suspicion, and resentment against Jewish people — quite the opposite of the love that Christ reveals here. There is a long history of Christian persecution of the Jews, excused or explained away on the ground of Jewish unbelief.

You will find no sanction for such racism and persecution here. Rather, Jesus ends His sermon with a note of hope, speaking of a coming day when the Jewish people will embrace Him as Messiah and Lord and say, “Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord” (v. 39, quoting Ps. 118:26). This promised conversion of the Jews has been cherished by Christians for centuries. The Westminster Larger Catechism teaches that when we as Christians pray “Thy kingdom come,” we are praying, among other things, that “the gospel [may be] propagated throughout the world, the Jews called, [and] the fullness of Gentiles brought in” (Q. 191).

The sins, woes, and love described in Matthew 23 warn us to beware of the scribes and Pharisees, who were models of religious pride — pride of knowledge, pride of accomplishment, and pride of reputation.

Pride is a devastating sin and is complex. Most sins turn us away from God, but pride directly attacks God. It lifts us above and against God, seeking to dethrone Him by enthroning ourselves. God hates pride (Prov. 6:16–17). Pride was the first sin in paradise and the last we will shed in death. Declare war on your pride. Count it your greatest enemy. Learn to say every day: “I am a sinner, a servant, a small one, and a saint.” With the Spirit’s help, this exercise will help break down the pride of the scribes and Pharisees within you.

This lecture costs $2

Lecture 7, Images:

The history of art is full of biblical themes and Christian influence. Great artists such as Michelangelo and Rembrandt made dramatic contributions to the world of art. Where has the Christian influence in art gone? Is it proper to paint biblical themes? Does the second commandment prohibit images of any kind? Dr. Sproul looks at some of these questions in this message, as he seeks to cultivate a biblical appreciation for the arts and a balanced approach to the idea of art in worship.

Stepping Out
Sedaka is back — to his classical roots
Local pianist to perform pop legend’s piano concerto at Madison Theatre
By Mary Malloy
Courtesy Jeffrey Biegel
Music icon Neil Sedaka will show a new side of his composing skills when the South Shore Symphony performs his "Manhattan Intermezzo" at the Madison Theatre on Oct. 27. Jeffrey Biegel, right, will play the piece on the piano. Sedaka is expeceted to attend the performance with his wife, Leba.

When entertainment legend Neil Sedaka happened to be seated next to pianist and Lynbrook resident Jeffrey Biegel at a show featuring a then-new jazz singer, Renee Olstead, some four or five years ago, the two got to talking. They realized that they both attended Julliard School of dance, drama and music, and that they both had their roots firmed planted in classical music. And the rest, as they say, is musical history.

Sedaka, 74, a singer, songwriter, composer, pianist and author, has been in the business for half a century, and is best known as a pop icon and superstar, spewing out hit after hit in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, with chart toppers such as “The Diary,” “Oh, Carol,”“Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen” and “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do.” Sedaka wrote hits for other artists, but often multi-tracking his own voice on his own recordings, adding harmony. His most recent release, “The Real Neil,” is a CD of brand-new Sedaka acoustic material, including a few Sedaka classics — and with a very special addition — the official release of his classical composition “Manhattan Intermezzo.”

Sedaka said that he’s been getting “wonderful emails and letters” from around the world from fans who were surprised and delighted with the addition of the classic piece on his CD.

Manhattan Intermezzo
“I said to Jeffrey, if I ever wrote a concerto for piano, he would perform it,” said Sedaka in a phone interview with Stepping Out. “And Jeff has a wonderful interpretation of the piece.”

Sedaka said that “Manhattan Intermezzo” is a tribute to New York that captures the sounds and spirit of the city. “You can hear the different ethnic influences in the piece,” he said. “This [classic composition] is serious music,” Sedaka continued, “but it’s not abstract … I am a melodist — it’s a crowd pleaser. Music is there to make people feel good.”

As chairman of the Long Beach Democratic Committee, Zapson recently criticized Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano as irresponsible for borrowing money to repair critical infrastructure such as the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant. Published reports indicate that the City Council of Long Beach, which is comprised of five elected Democrats recruited and chosen by Chairman Zapson, have all voted to approve borrowing $38 million to fund Sandy recovery projects in expectation of payments from the federal government. So to understand Zapson correctly, it is OK for Long Beach to borrow money to fund infrastructure improvements in the aftermath of Sandy, but not Nassau County? Based on Zapson’s position regarding borrowing, Nassau County should ignore the Bay Park plant, which has been compromised by Sandy, resulting in effluent being released into Reynolds Channel.

Only with responsible reinvestment in modernizing critical water treatment facilities can the county ensure the delivery of adequately treated water that protects our environment. Economists I know and respect suggest that with interest rates at historical lows, now is one of the best times to borrow money and reinvest, whether you are a homeowner looking to refinance or a municipality looking to modernize an aging infrastructure.

With the federal and state governments backstopping many of these investments with up to 90 percent reimbursement rates, they are even more compelling investments on behalf of weary taxpayers. Mangano was able to facilitate the redevelopment of the Nassau Coliseum without one dollar of taxpayer money required. Mangano reduced non-civil servant positions in his administration by more than 1,700 while privatizing bus service. Based on actual performance and results, not political spin, I implore my fellow taxpayers to vote for responsible government this November and return Ed Mangano as Nassau County executive.
