DALLAS, TX, November 18, 2010 (Press-News.org) In today's tight economy, getting your small business off the ground or keeping it afloat can be difficult. Obtaining affordable financing can sometimes mean the difference between success and failure.
The new book, Getting to "Yes" With Your Banker: A Practical Guide for Small Business Owners, can help. It is co-written by a successful entrepreneur and a community banker, so it presents a clear view of the financing process from both sides of the desk.
Ron Sturgeon is a popular keynote speaker on entrepreneurship and business consultant who has turned several businesses into successes. Sturgeon is also the author of several business books, including Green Weenies and Due Diligence, a humorous guide to business lingo. He decided to team up with a banker for his latest book, in order to give readers a balanced perspective of the banking relationship. His co-author, Greg Morse, is the founder and CEO of Worthington Bank, a multi-branch community bank.
"Even in a tough economy, some businesses are going to thrive," said Sturgeon, "I decided to write this book to help folks learn how to build the right banking relationships to rise."
The book is written with a humorous touch, and includes information about selecting a banker, building a relationship with your banker, what kind of loan you need, and how to convince your banker to give you a loan.
Sturgeon also provides information that no banker will tell you. These "tips and traps" may be the most valuable information in the book.
"Building a successful business is about so much more than just getting a loan," Sturgeon said, "but financing is often necessary, and I believe this book will help you approach the process from the right angle."

Most value-added impact from teachers fades within 1 year
2010-11-17
The impact a specific schoolteacher has on students' math and reading scores – whether bad or good – fades quite fast, according to a new study by researchers at Brigham Young University and the University of Michigan.
A recent trend in public education is to measure teacher quality based on how the students fared on standardized tests compared to previous years. If most of Mr. Green's current 5th grade students score at a higher percentile than they did as 4th graders, then Mr. Green gets what's called a high "value-added" rating.
In August, The Los Angeles Times shined ...
Important brain area organized by color and orientation
2010-11-17
NASHVILLE, Tenn.—A brain area known to play a critical role in vision is divided into compartments that respond separately to different colors and orientations, Vanderbilt University researchers have discovered. The findings have important implications for furthering our understanding of perception and attention.

"In vision, objects are defined by both their shape and their surface properties, such as color and brightness. For example, to identify a red apple, your visual system must process both the ...
