Crickets causing a stink in Central Texas city

WACO, Texas (AP) ? Several businesses in the Central Texas town of Waco (WAY'-koh) are dealing with a smelly problem that won't go away: decaying cricket carcasses.

A bank, a drugstore and other businesses have been inundated with the odorous onslaught of dead crickets that have been trapped inside walls and have collected on sidewalks.

Jani Rodriguez, the branch manager at Synergy Bank, tells the Waco Tribune-Herald (http://bit.ly/QcSOLs) that scented products have been unable to get rid of the smell. Using air-scrubbing machines hasn't worked either.

Fred Huffman, an entomologist who runs a local pest control business, says the cricket problem has been worse this year because mild winter conditions resulted in the insects appearing earlier than normal.

Health officials say the crickets don't pose any direct health risks.

Are You A Small Business?

The U.S. Small Business Administration has been busy finalizing rules that may alter the standards for defining a small business.

The SBA issued three final rules in the Federal Register, effective Oct. 24, 2012, increasing size standards for firms in three North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Sectors:

• Real Estate and Rental and Leasing
• Educational Services
• Health Care and Social Assistance

Size standards define the maximum size a firm can be and still be considered a small business.

The SBA said the new size standards could enable more businesses in these sectors to obtain or retain small business status. It could also give federal agencies a larger pool of small businesses from which to choose for their procurement programs. Additionally, the standards could also make more small businesses eligible for SBA?s loan programs.

SBA increased size standards for businesses in 21 industries in the Real Estate and Rental and Leasing Sector.? More than 13,000 additional firms will qualify as small under these new size standards and become eligible for SBA loan and federal procurement programs.

SBA also increased size standards for 9 industries for firms in the Educational Services Sector.? More than 1,500 additional businesses will qualify as small under the new size standards and become eligible for SBA loan and federal procurement programs.

Size standards for 28 industries were also increased for firms in the Health Care and Social Assistance Sector. More than 4,100 additional firms will qualify as small under these new size standards and become eligible for SBA loan and federal procurement programs.

To review the three rules and public comments, go to www.regulations.gov.? Each has a separate Regulation Identifier Number (RIN) number:

• Real Estate and Rental and Leasing ? (RIN 3245-AG28)
• Educational Services ? (RIN 3245-AG29)
• Health Care and Social Assistance ? (RIN 3245?AG30)

The SBA issued a white paper entitled ?Size Standards Methodology? which explains how SBA establishes, reviews and modifies its receipts-based and employee-based small business size standards. The white paper is available here.

Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac

As Apple continues to make in-roads into the business market, ways of incorporating Cupertino's products into typically Windows-centric IT infrastructures will pique much interest. Virtualization is one way to integrate Apple systems into a Microsoft network. Perhaps no other company can make that integration happen smoother than Parallels. Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac ?running Windows 8 on a Mac Book Air is a beautiful experience for both Mac and Windows users.

Parallels is crisp, well-designed software that delivers desktop virtualization to both beginners and advanced virtualization users. The software is not as robust a performer as VMWare's Fusion 5, our Editors' Choice pick for desktop virtualization software. However, the user experience, wonderful multiple OS integration, and performance that's decent enough for most everyday computer tasks makes Parallels a worthy competitor to VMware and more suited to novices and die-hard Apple fans.

Availability and Install
Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac allows you to run other operating systems as virtual machines on Mac hardware. Version 8 is optimized to run Windows 8.

Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac is available through Parallels website as a $50 upgrade or $80 for the full version (although it's priced at about $70 on Amazon). Parallels is a bit pricier than VMware Fusion, with Fusion priced at $50. However, those in need of more guidance in setting up a virtual operating system on an Apple computer may be willing to pony up the extra cost.

Once downloaded the actual install is quick and easy. After install, Parallels provides several options for creating a virtual machine: install Windows, install an OS from DVD or image file, migrate Windows from a PC, or use Windows from Boot Camp. Additional options include downloading Chrome, Ubuntu, or the Android OS, installing OS X Lion using the recovery partition, or adding an existing virtual machine.

I wanted to test Windows 8 on a MacBook Air running OS X Lion, so I downloaded and installed Parallels Desktop Enterprise Edition. I then mapped a drive from the Mac to a server I have ISO image files saved and installed Windows 8 Enterprise from an ISO.

You cannot install Windows with Parallels without a valid Windows key?entering that key kicks off an install wizard. The wizard asks how you want to integrate Windows programs?an excellent piece of automated configuration which saves you from having to configure after install.

Windows programs integrate well with the Mac environment.? With Windows 8 on the Mac OS in Coherence mode; Windows apps can be placed on the Launchpad and an app will run in its own window on the Mac desktop. Windows can also be integrated by choosing to integrate Windows like a PC. This option keeps Windows desktops and programs in one Window, but lets you drag and drop objects, and perform cut-and-paste between the host OS X desktop and the virtual Windows desktop.

Parallels makes it simple to setup guest operating systems, but it's not a very speedy process. The complete install, from the initial Windows virtual machine creation to the Windows 8 login prompt, took about 20 minutes. There was also a frustrating point during the install process that occurred when Windows 8 prompted me for a license key, but the screen was so small that I had difficulty discerning if I was typing the key correctly. There was no readily apparent way to make the screen larger? although once Windows was installed I could span the Windows 8 desktop to the entire OS X Lion desktop.

What You Should Know About Family Care Contracts

The tight economy has prompted more of us to rely on family members to care for frail and aging loved ones rather than pay for outside professional services. When the need is great, some family members give up their jobs to help out at home. Some elders also want more control in choosing their care providers. The result: a growing trend toward families who are considering compensating family caregivers for their time and effort. Massachusetts Provides Funding for Family Caregivers Massachusetts is among several states that recognize and support so-called consumer directed care.
