Whether you are building a bomb shelter because of the Mayan calendar’s predictions or are simply hoping that 2012 isn’t any worse than 2011, every year holds endings as well as beginnings.
For me, my last twenty-something birthday is this upcoming February, which is dangerously close to Valentines Day. And with Cupid on my calendar back-to -back with my “black” birthday, I sometimes wonder where a bow and arrow is when you need one?

Stay Classy is a monthly blog feature with a modern spin on minding your manners.
Cold and flu season is in full swing. With the added fear of the H1N1 flu in recent years, proper etiquette for illness and prevention looks more like germaphobia than common courtesy. In the past, companies may have indirectly communicated the expectation to report to work while under the weather. Now, many are encouraging employees to either work from home or take time off until they feel better. In fact, many health care companies have released reports showing the cost of presenteeism is far greater than absenteeism. (In other words, it’s cheaper to your employer if you stay home instead of suffering at work.)

From Scratch is a blog about starting a business from the ground up, including interviews with local businesswomen.
As college students, my peers and I are full of vision for the future. We have hope for the things we want to accomplish even thought it may be difficult (to say the least) to get a job after college these days. But since the job market is so dreary, what better time to become your own boss, fulfill your own vision, and start your own business. Although, this means that you, me, and my college peers will most likely need a loan in order to make this happen.
The SBA is an excellent source for funding since it’s primary lending program guarantees 50% – 85% of a loan. Many people have the misconception that the borrower applies for a loan through the SBA, but that is not the case. The borrower applies directly through a lending institution who then applies to the SBA for a loan guaranty. The lender will be much more likely to lend if 50% – 85% of the loan is guaranteed to be paid back by the SBA IF the borrower defaults (meaning he/she cannot pay back the loan).
So let’s get down to the details!
