Maryville College alumni are heading to Blount County this month and a variety of activities are being planned to celebrate their return for homecoming.
Maryville College is inviting alumni, parents and friends back to campus for Homecoming on Oct. 21-22. Activities range from athletic match-ups to musical performances to a parade led by the Knoxville Pipes and Drums.
On Oct. 21, the Blue Shades Rock 'N' Roll Band from the 1960s decade at Maryville College will reunite for two free performances in the William Baxter Lee III Grand Foyer of the Clayton Center for the Arts. The first performance will begin at 5:45 p.m., and the second will begin around 8:30 p.m.
For the second consecutive year, the Clayton Center for the Arts will be the location of the annual Harvest Crafts Festival and Bake Sale. Approximately 40 vendors will be set up in the main building from 9 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 22. Baked goods will also be available for sale inside the Lambert Wing of Bartlett Hall.
A walkthrough of Anderson Hall is slated for the morning of Oct. 22. Fundraising is currently underway to raise $4 million to renovate the interior space for 21st-century teaching and learning spaces for faculty and students.
The parade around campus gets started in front of Anderson Hall at 1 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 22. Kickoff for the Maryville College-Averett College football game follows at 2 p.m. on Honaker Field.
As alums return to campus to mix and mingle with current students and renew old acquaintances with each other and faculty, they may reminisce about their own fall days at the college. Blount Today covered two of the college's traditional events in late August and September that bring community, current students and perspective students to campus.
On Aug. 28, the 10th annual Church and College picnic was held at Maryville College. Campus minister the Rev. Anne McKee said members from 20 to 25 churches turned out to greet freshmen as well as any upper classmen who returned to campus that evening.
"It shows that whether a student makes a church connection or not, they see this is a place that welcomes all faiths. You have Unitarians next to Baptists, Mormons and Catholics," she said. "You see this mix of a variety of faiths, and it lets our students and our community know every tradition is honored and respect at the college."
The "Meet Maryville" event occurred on Sept. 24 and was an opportunity for high school students and their families to visit the campus. There were 134 guests, 57 of whom were students. The students were from Tennessee, Georgia, Virginia, Indiana, South Carolina, Delaware and Mississippi.
Arielle Kilday, assistant director of admissions, said the students and their families toured campus, met with professors regarding academic interests, staff members regarding extracurricular activities and their parents attended a workshop on financial aid.
"It is a glimpse of everything," she said. "They get a little bit of everything Maryville College offers."

Mining, Privilege, and Artistic Production in the Colonial Andes: Short Film and Roundtable Discussion
This program includes a screening of Harun Farocki's film The Silver and the Cross (20 min), which examines a 1758 painting by Gaspar Miguel de Berrío that depicts the city and the surrounding silver mines of Potosí, Bolivia. A roundtable discussion featuring three local scholars of Colonial Latin America will follow the film. The discussion will employ the film's description of colonial Potosí as an anchor for a broader discussion about colonial Andean economics, history, and art, particularly as it relates to Behind Closed Doors: Art in the Spanish American Home, 1492-1898.
The goal of this event is to better understand the mechanisms that created the level of wealth exhibited in Behind Closed Doors, and to shed light on an often overlooked city that was essential to the economic success of Spanish America for hundreds of years.
The roundtable discussants are Dr. Kris Lane, the France V. Scholes Professor of Colonial Latin American History, Department of History, Tulane University; Dr. John Charles, Associate Professor of Colonial Spanish American Literature and Director of Graduate Studies, Spanish and Portuguese Department, Tulane University; and Dr. Ari Zighelboim, Lecturer, Spanish and Portuguese Department, Tulane University. Lucia Abramovich, NOMA's Curatorial Fellow for Spanish Colonial Art, will moderate the discussion.
About Dr. Kris Lane
Kris Lane holds the France V. Scholes Chair in Colonial Latin American History at Tulane University. His books include Quito 1599: City & Colony in Transition, Colour of Paradise: The Emerald in the Age of Gunpowder Empires, and Pillaging the Empire: Piracy in the Americas, 1500-1750. He is currently writing a history of the great Potosí mint scandal of 1649, along with an annotated translation of early writings on Potosí.
About Dr. John Charles
John Charles is Associate Professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Tulane University. He is the author of numerous articles on colonial Andean literature and history, and the book Allies at Odds: The Andean Church and Its Indigenous Agents, 1583-1671 (University of New Mexico Press, 2010).
About Dr. Ari Zighelboim
Ari Zighelboim (Lima, 1960) studied in Peru, Israel and the United States, graduating with a Bachelor's degree in history and East Asian studies, an MA in cultural anthropology and a PhD in Spanish and Latin American literature. His masters paper dealt with scenes of human sacrifice on mountains in Moche iconography, and his PhD thesis with the surviving Inca nobility during the colonial period in Peru and its cultural and social strategies. He has written about Ruben Dario, Juan de Espinosa Medrano, the drama in Quechua Ollantay, Potosí and other topics. He has also published a volume of poetry. He is now senior lecturer in the department of Spanish and Portuguese at Tulane university.
Reimagining Race, Class, and Identity in the New World
Assistant Professor Mia Bagneris will lecture on "Reimagining Race, Class, and Identity in the New World," on Friday, September 12 at 6pm at the New Orleans Museum of Art. The lecture will be held in conjunction with the exhibit, Behind Closed Doors: Art in the Spanish American Home, 1492-1898.
Professor Bagneris teaches African American/Diaspora art history and studies of race in Western Art. Her own work concentrates on the construction of race in British and American art and visual culture of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Performance by Afro-Cuban band Sintesis
The Cuban and Caribbean Institute presents: Sintesis
Afro-Cuban group Sintesis, founded in 1974 by Carlos Alfonso Valdes, is one of Cuba's musical emblems. The contemporary band has elements of ethno-fusion rhythms mixed with a core of jazz and rock and roll. In the 1980's, Sintesis grew in popularity, and by mid-late decade, the band was a staple of world music festivals. In 1989, they released their first album "Ancestros," and since then have released many more. Their album "Habana a Flor de Piel" was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award in the category of Best Contemporary Tropical Album in 2002.
All are welcome to attend.

CSC President Dr. Randy Rhine inauguration today
The formal inauguration of Dr Randy Rhine as president of Chadron State College is this afternoon at 3:00 in Memorial Hall, but the celebration got underway last night with a student-faculty-staff BBQ and a packed-house concert in the Nelson Physical Activity Center by country star Keith Anderson.
While Rhine says he's honored and humbled to be the center of attention with the inauguration, he feels the ceremony and accompanying events are more a celebration of Chadron State and its history than of him.
The inauguration ceremony is free and open to the public,
There's a free reception after the ceremony in Old Admin, the first building on campus and recipient of a multi-million dollar upgrade just a couple years ago.
Inauguration Committee co-chair Karen Pope says the public is being encouraged to take advantage of free tours and displays of student and faculty projects being offered as part of the reception.
Dr. Rhine is CSC's 11th preisdent.

Celebrating sales success and international expansion, retail giant Wal-Mart added a fair amount of show to its business at the company's annual shareholders meeting held this past June at the Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville, AR. While the six-hour session delivered plenty of company facts and figures, the event provided enough entertainment to keep close to 20,000 shareholders in the audience rising to their feet.
Celebrity supporters, including Richard Simmons, Alex Trebek, and Kathie Lee Gifford, were on-hand to pump up the crowd. While behind the scenes, producer Mick Warnock and production manager Greg Pierce of Vista Productions, director Mike Flagler of Flagler Productions, lighting designer Donnie Brawner of Downhome Productions, and video supplier Performance Audio & Video, steered the production from conception on.
"The meeting used to be in the round, but this year Wal-Mart wanted to put the stage on one end," says LD Brawner. "They also requested three videoscreens positioned close enough to the audience so that the video could look like continuing images."
In fact, lighting for high-end video is one of the most crucial components of Brawner's design. "The meeting is 99% video, and Wal-Mart invests a lot in the best equipment," says Brawner. "It's important I make the lighting look good both on tape and IMAG."
Beyond lighting for video, a new challenge this year was the addition of a live concert staged the night before. Featuring pop stars Britney Spears and Brandy, the concert was broadcast live via satellite to Wal-Marts nationwide. "We had to design something that would look like a live concert and be broadcast quality," says the LD. His solution was to isolate the artists in level lighting for video by using followspots from the front of stage and truss spots from the back. This also allowed him rich color saturation for both the live and taped show.
Six hours later, Brawner switched gears to prep for the corporate meeting that began at 6am the next morning. "Because of the short turnaround, all the lighting went up as one system." That system consisted of over 700 conventional fixtures, including Thomas PAR-64s, ETC Source Fours and Source Four PARs, Mole-Richardson 5ks and 2ks, Altman scoops, Wybron color scrollers, Lycian 1275 followspots, and 2k xenon Strong Super Troupers. There was also over 1,000' (305m) of Thomas and Tomcat truss, over 400 ETC Sensor dimmers, and 45 High End Systems automated luminaires including Cyberlights(R), Studio Colors(R), and Technobeams(R).
Brawner credits associate LD Jeff Payne, master electrician Shawn Lear, moving-light programmer Zach Ayres, and lighting electricians Red Schulte, John Elkins, and Doc Pruyn, who were on the job for the two-week load-in, set-up, rehearsal process, and meeting. Following its success, Downhome will make its corporate lighting even more festive for the next Wal-Mart extravaganza, the company's holiday meeting at the Dallas Convention Center.

LAWTON Okla_ One month has
passed since a tragic accident claimed the life of a Lawton toddler. Now, his mother is sharing
her frustration that no one has been charged in his death.
According to
police, one-year-old Victor Popescu was hit by a car backing up in the driveway
of this home near the intersection of Northwest 16th and Lake.
They also say the woman driving the car appeared to have been trying to run the
father down after an argument, but hit the one-year-old boy instead.
Victoria Popescu
said she's devastated over the loss of her child and even though she misses him
everyday, she doesn't agree with how investigations have been conducted. She said
she wants her account of August 5th to be heard.
Victoria Popescu
said Victor was the light of her life.
"He would
just make you smile," Victoria
said. "He was so lovable. He would give you kisses and everything. He just
loved everybody."
She said her
missing dog sparked an argument between her boyfriend Brandon and a woman who
was visiting a neighbor after the dog appeared in the car.
"He said, 'Isn't
that our dog?'," Victoria
recalled. "She starts the car and tries to run over Brandon."
Victoria said Victor
was on the sidewalk when the woman tried to leave. She tried to stop the woman
from leaving with her dog by opening the car door.
"I didn't touch
her, didn't do anything," Victoria
said. "I just said nobody's leaving, and I'm calling the police."
That's when it
"All of a
sudden, I hear screaming," Victoria
said. "I hear that my son got ran over."
She said Victor
wasn't behind the car. He was still on the sidewalk, and the woman was driving
erratically. She had turned the car as she backed out.
"When my
boyfriend picked him up, there were tire marks on his back and over his head," Victoria said.
In an effort to
save her child, Victoria
said she immediately left to get Victor to the hospital, but it was too late. Victor
passed away a few hours later. She has had no contact with the woman since.
"It just seemed
like she didn't care," Victoria
She said the
police told her the woman didn't see Victor sitting by the driveway.
"She seen
him and looked at him and got in the car," Victoria said. "So, there's no way you
couldn't have seen him. It doesn't matter where he was. Why would you drive
like that? I feel like he deserves justice. He didn't deserve that at all."
7News tried to
get ahold of the official incident report Wednesday to see details according to
police, but that report wasn't available because the victim was a juvenile.
Although no charges have been filed, the case has been moved to the
district attorney's office for further investigation. Victoria said she won't stop until her son
receives the justice he deserves. Until then, the family plans to tell their
side of the story to others in hopes that Victor's memory won't be forgotten.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – A car slammed into a home at the intersection of Fourth and Ann Streets in Wilmington early Friday morning.
According to police, an officer saw the vehicle speeding down Fourth Street prior to the crash. The officer had notified dispatch he was going to make a traffic stop when he noticed the car hit a house.
The homeowner, Edie Senter, was upstairs at the time. She said the car first hit a tree that she planted 11 years ago when her daughter was born.
"We told her this morning, Ella, your tree saved us cause the police told us it took the initial impact of the car," Senter said. "So, it helped the house not get as much damage."
Police say Nathan Gregory Leemhuis, 22 of Wilmington, was arrested and charged with DWI and reckless driving.
Leemhuis posted bond and has been released.

Tiger Women Win Home Opener
MARSHALLTOWN, IA - The MCC women's basketball team (2-2) used their home court advantage to score a 62-52 win over visiting North Central Missouri College (3-2) Wednesday night in non-conference action.
The Tigers took a 30-27 halftime lead to the locker room behind the scoring of sophomore Shana Lee (Milwaukee, WI). Lee scored 11 of her 17 points in the half, followed by freshman Ashley Salgado (Ottumwa, IA) with 7. Salgado went 8-13 from the field and 5-5 from the charity strike to lead all scorers with 21 points.
The Tigers controlled the boards, holding a 42 to 31 edge over the Lady Pirates. Lee pulled down a game high 13 boards to lead all players. Freshman Mackenzie Gott (Oskaloosa, IA), contributed 9 boards.
North Central Missouri struggled from the foul line going 5 of 13, while MCC went 15 of 18. MCC out shot the Pirates 42% to 34% from the field.
"Overall I thought we played our best 40 minutes so far this season," said head coach Alison Lacey. "Ashely really stepped it up tonight and played liked a college point guard, we need performances like that from her every night."
The Tigers will look to use their home court advantage again on Saturday, November 17, as they host South Australia. Tip-off at the Student Activities Center is scheduled for 2:30 pm.

Bought this in 2006 and have had nothing but trouble with it. PCB went bad and melted the housing for the lights as the lights would not turn off with the door closed. Repairman came out and bypassed the PCB so that the unit would function. I have replaced the door gaskets at least 5 times as the little hook at the top keeps breaking on 1 side, then the other. Sometimes the door pops open when the opposite door is closed hard. Greasing the seals work for about a week, then they grab. The door seals seem to swell up, probably because the get bumped while putting in and taking out items. I have to hold 1 door when I open the other, or it will open too. I have to be on the alert if any one else uses this refrigerator as they do not know the problems with the doors not closing properly. That of course makes the fridge sweat inside. I bought it for a few hundred dollars, but now they are over $1000, but looks like I'll have to bite the bullet & get a new one, or just make sure I am on guard all the time. My wife does not remember to make sure the doors close, & I don't blame her. they should close easily.

Where the two French doors meet when closed, the gasket has broken in several places. This makes it very difficult to close the doors. And, after only 4 years, I wonder how long the other components will last. Maybe the corporation can make so much money on their products because the quality of the parts is inferior! I suppose it costs a lot to have the gasket replaced, at my expense. Would the extra repair contract be worth it? Not at $500+ for 3 years. Not happy.

Within 2 years, ice began to form on the bottom of the freezer due to a blocked defrost drain. Water leaked from the freezer, ruining our floor. Had to call a repairman to unclog the drain since it is very difficult to get at. When unit was 2 years, 8 mo. old, the temperature sensor in the fridge went out, causing everything in the fridge to freeze. Repairman said we were lucky it lasted this long. He also recommended replacing the main control board (an expensive part). I won't buy a Whirlpool or any of their other brands again. (This Kenmore is made by them.)

A stainless Steel, fridge upper and freezer below. It includes ice maker, filtered water dispenser and a rally cool pull out drawer for coldcuts etc. We love the pull-out shelves and the way we can organize the freezer. The stuff doesn't come spilling out when you open the door. The Stainless surface shows fingerprints which we knew before we purchased. It fits in our 33 inch opening!

I'd buy one without the long meat tray at the bottom of the fridge. I have a large family. We use large bowls. It's maddening trying to fit those in. The doors scratch so easily. Kids hit it with a broom. I'd stick with white appliances if I could do it again. The meats are too close to the ice in the freezer. The meat packs sort of fall in the ice tray so easily. But I do like it. Just has some not so great aspects I didn't think about. Next time I will take my large bowls to the store and see what I can fit in. I adjusted the shelves .. still not perfect.

This has made the rounds to some extent already, but this is one of the better (and more creative) athlete-produced videos. Cavaliers guard Delonte West reminds us why we never go to KFC anymore, but seriously, if you want to wait forever in a drive-thru (and who doesn't?) Go to Hardee's. Dear God, you could finish half of a Harry Potter book waiting on your Thickburger and fries there. But Delonte and his unidentified friend make good use of the time, dropping some tracks and laying down some beats. Did I say that correctly? I couldn't be any whiter if I had "Fruit of the Loom" stitched into my back. via.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- State legislators return to Springfield this week for the annual veto session but it is unclear what, if anything, will be accomplished.
There are about a half dozen veto items lawmakers could consider but with no pension reform bill from the conference committee, it is unclear if anything will get done.
State Senator Bill Brady is a part of the pension reform committee.
"To the Democrats credit on the committee, they put a program on the table that would save $138 billion. I'm just not sure it goes far enough to really call it a solution," said Brady, (R) 44th District.
Democratic state Senator Dave Koehler said the state's two-tiered pension system cuts benefits drastically for those who started after 2011. He said it is critical for the panel to come up with a workable pension solution.
"What we need to do is pass something that makes sense, that's constitutional, that's fair," said Koehler, (D) 46th District. "The other point that I wish the legislature would figure out is that we really need to refinance the whole system."
"I think we should have passed pension reform a long time ago because it's a real burden on our budget," said state Representative Dave Leitch, (R) 73rd District.
"Certainly disappointing, but nonetheless there may be something. I highly doubt it but there may be something in the second week," said state Representative Dan Brady, (R) 105th District.
The house has already canceled its session on Thursday. If legislators don't accomplish anything, they will have plenty of time when they come back in January.

Chet Faker @ The Toff In Town
Chet Faker is two things: a beard and a voice. According to his publicist, the much-feted electro artist hails from Melbourne's "tight-knit disco and house music scene" (the first rule of Melbourne's tight-knit disco and house music scene is you do not talk about Melbourne's tight-knit disco and house music scene) but there is little trace of these roots in his sound. There are beats, for sure – dreamy, pulsing things that echo the somnambulant rhythms of trip hop – but beats do not define Chet Faker. He's a voice, a latte-smooth soul singer who floods the room with his sexually-charged utterances, and a beard.
Chet and his two band mates took to the stage at The Toff last Thursday night for the first of three sold out shows, facing curiosity and the quiet weight of expectation. Barely out of the womb, just now launching his debut EP (Thinking in Textures, Opulent/Remote Control), and Chet is already an artist celebré, a buzz act at SXSW whose last single topped the chart on Hype Machine and received airplay on BBC Radio 1. You could see why, the minute he started playing. The sound was lush and immersive, a rippling boom of silk that engulfed the audience. Chet's voice was powerful, flowing with a preternatural kind of confidence and sounding almost exactly as it does on tape, which is quite an achievement. His talent was obvious…so why didn't I love him?
He reminded me of Cordrazine, that's why. Like Cordrazine's Hamish Cowan, Chet commanded his voice like an instrument. He relaxed around the melody, shifting notes mid-phrase and running lazily up the scale. It wasn't quite as jazzy as I'm implying, but there was a definite jazz undercurrent. No, jazz is too strong – the genre I'm searching for here is the nebulous Kenny G- and Luther Vandross-dominated space that is known as 'adult contemporary'. As I was watched this newly-minted star woo the audience into a lusty thrall, I could feel myself twitching with adolescent impatience. It was all too smooth and croony for my taste, lacking angst or sharp edges or anything resembling vitality. Chet Faker's performance felt a little hokey – not much, but enough to distract me; enough to make me think of this hip new kid as very slightly uncool.
Loved: Not much.
Hated: Not much.
Drank: Slow, boring beers.

A good day at Hog Waller
Thank you Boss Hog for hosting another great fest. I had a great time! Came home with a running combine engine, a sweet t-shirt, koozie and gas stick, and some parts I needed....after the work week I have had, it was just what the Dr. ordered.
It was good to see old friends and make new ones. See y'all next time!

Re: A good day at Hog Waller
Just finished cleaning up at the hotel...will be heading out leisurely in the morning.
Another great time at the waller, though with all the sunshine we had all week there warn't no mud to waller in like two years ago!!!!! It was a VERY successful fest for me...changed the extremely leaky front transmission seal on my '52 with LOTS of help, and confirmed bad bearings on the newly re-aquired '55 that my neighbor ran with no oil pressure. Yogie, ArtC, Joel and.....several others whose names I cannot recall (sorry)...managed to pull the head (with only one broken bolt!) and felt the engine was in good enough shape to rebuild. So now I know my next project!!!!!
Raymond, Boss reminded me to grab your stuff (good thing, too...getting old and forgetful!) so it is ready for another leg of the wondrous Cub Express.
At the very end Boss and Yogie were successful in getting another Cub resurrected!! Quite educational, too! Learned a lot about troubleshooting...thanks for your patience with this student.
Thanks Boss and family for a great time (and super chicken today!) Your hospitality was much appreciated!

Re: A good day at Hog Waller
Well said! I had a great time. It was great meeting everyone I hadn't met yet and seeing those i had again. I enjoyed all the tinkering and shooting the breeze.... also glad that was all that was shot. . also it was fun to meet all the folks from up north... always entertaining listening to all those strange accents!
ok. till next time!
Re: A good day at Hog Waller
I had a ball. I want to thank all that took the time to answer my questions and put up with me. Lots of new friends. Thanks to everyone and hope everyone makes it home safe and sound.
Re: A good day at Hog Waller
Just got home after a long day on the road. I can't say enough about what a great host Boss was. The idea of the trip to the Appomatox Court House was something I will never forget. Sorry that the whole war was almost re started. I just want to say it wasn't me. My cabin mates Ed, Larry , Val and Yogie along with our visitors made for some side splitting laughs that went from morning to night. It was very hard saying good bye to all of my very good friends. Yogie and I agree that we had more fun than ever an I can't thank Boss Hog enough for all he does. Heck he even got a transport bus so we could all go on the tour in one vehicle. This really was as educational as it was fun I learned a great deal about the area and its history, along with thoughts on creation and evolution.
Oh and the cubfest was great we brought down a trailer full and came home with a truck and trailer full. Thanks Dave and family for hosting us. I do have one complaint though, it all was over too soon.

Re: A good day at Hog Waller
Thanks so much to everyone who attended this weekend, what a blast... This is the first time I've stopped and really took the time to enjoy myself with everyone at a fest. Hearing aids work wonders.
I was the last to leave as always and just arrived home tonight.
Special thanks to Boss and family for all they have done.

Re: A good day at Hog Waller
I was wondering if you'd have to leave that trailer there. Hope you truck gets better.
It's good to hear your hearing aid is helping! I enjoyed hanging out and learning while you and ArtC worked on Dale F's busted engine. Also, late Saturday night while you and Boss worked on that square hood. Y'all make it look like child's play.
Also, thanks for letting me hang around and watch while y'all resurrected that square hood cub. I learned more there than reading would ever teach me!
So when's the next event!? Maybe I'll try to convince Dale F to host another

I believe the single greatest threat to investors over the next five to ten years is the "loss of buying power or loss of purchasing power" from inflation, which is another way of saying the U.S. dollar, is losing value.
From 1978 to 1981, our country suffered through approximately 17% inflation compounded over those four years. That means that if you had $1.00 in late 1977, it was only worth about $0.32 in purchasing power in early 1982.
That loss of buying power for retirees over those four years was devastating and many never recovered from that loss. For an historical comparison, $1.00 in 1903 is now worth about $0.03 in buying power today.
Historically, during times of global turmoil investors have usually invested their money in U.S. dollars, which was viewed as the safest and most stable currency in the world.
But that's not happening today, even with all the tumultuous events this year. With the Middle East in conflict, a war in Libya, an earthquake, tsunami and nuclear plant meltdown in Japan and Europe facing a debt crisis in Portugal, the dollar has been gradually falling in value against other major currencies.
It has fallen relative to the Euro, Pound, and Yen in recent months, and currently, the dollar is down 7% against a basket of six major currencies since January 7 and 14% since June.
In the short run, a cheaper dollar benefits companies that ex-port—and the workers they employ—are more competitive. But the drop in the dollar also makes it more expensive to buy a gallon of gasoline, a foreign-made television or a European vacation.
Many analysts believe we are in the beginning stages of a multi-year trend of higher and higher inflation. And for investors, the word inflation is just another way of expressing the loss of the purchasing power of the dollars they hold in their investment portfolio.
Last week in USA TODAY, Warren Buffett, the chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, and America's greatest investor was quoted as saying, "If you ask me if the U.S. dollar is going to hold its purchasing power fully at the level of 2011, five years, 10 years or 20 years from now, I would tell you it will not."
American bond manager, Bill Gross of PIMCO, stated recently in his company's newsletter that since the late 1990's, the U.S. dollar has declined by 30% against a basket of major currencies. He also believes that inflation is higher than the government calculates and that this dollar depreciation should sap the purchasing power of U.S. consumers, as well as potentially raise the global valuation of dollar denominated assets like oil and gold.
He said America was unique amongst almost all nations in that we rarely see the negative impact of our currency depreciation. Unless we experience the sticker shock of a foreign hotel room or meal during a European vacation, we are oblivious to the drop in the dollar.
If the stock market were to go up 10 percent in a year in dollar denominated terms we would assume we are 10 percent richer, even if the dollar is sinking in value at the same time.
If the cost of imported goods and especially gasoline goes up more than our paychecks, we would blame it on political conspiracy.
The fact is that annual budget deficits in the trillions of dollars add a like amount to the stock of outstanding dollars, resulting in currency depreciation, higher import inflation, and a degradation of dollar based assets in global financial markets. We would become less, not more wealthy.
He believes that long-term holders of U.S. Treasury bonds could lose actual principal as the Federal Reserve eventually starts to raise rates over the next few years. He warns U.S. Treasury bond holders to sell their longer-term bonds.
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett also warned last week in USA TODAY that "investors should avoid long-term fixed income bets in U.S. dollars because the currency's purchasing power will decline."
There is a myth in the United States that China owns most of our U.S. treasury debt. That is not true! China only owns about 7.5% of the U.S. debt.
U.S. citizens and U.S. institutions, the Social Security Trust Fund, the U.S. Civil Servant Retirement Fund and the U.S. Military Retirement Fund, own 68.2% of all U.S. debt. The rest of the world, including China, only owns 31.8% of our debt.
That means that a declining dollar most likely will affect individual American's retirement accounts more than anyone else in the world.
Unfortunately, there is no accurate way of measuring the decline of the loss of buying power of the U.S. dollar. All of our methods of calculating inflation or calculating the decline in the dollar are deeply flawed.
For example, we used to be able to calculate the decline of the dollar by comparing it to the German Deutsche Mark, since the Germans rarely debased their currency. But the Deutsche Mark doesn't exist anymore since it was replaced with the Euro.
We now try to value the dollar against a basket of foreign currencies, but the Euro makes up the largest weighting in that basket. Unfortunately, the European Central Bank is now printing Euros at a record rate in order to bail out Greece, Ireland and probably a few other countries over the next few months.
Inflation is calculated every month by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Each month the BLS calculates both the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the "Core Inflation Index," which is how the government measures inflation.
Right now, over 42% of the Core Inflation Index is a calculation of basic housing prices and rents which, almost all experts agree are going to dramatically drop over the next four years. That one calculation has a major influence on the Core Inflation Index.
The problem with this is that even though experts say housing prices will continue to drop through 2014, this 42% calculation for housing makes it looks like there is no inflation in America. BUT THAT IS NOT TRUE!
Anyone who has gone to a grocery store lately knows that food prices are going up or that packages of food are getting smaller and they are charging the same price. Gasoline at the pump has hit a new 2011 high this month. Education costs are going up. Insurance is going up. And anyone who runs a business knows the costs of their raw materials are all going up. HOW CAN THE GOVERNMENT SAY THERE IS NO INFLATION?
The answer is based on how the government calculates the index. With 42% of the calculation of the index in housing values it looks like there is no inflation.
But if you are not selling a house, EVERYTHING else looks like there is inflation!
To add insult to injury, the U.S. Government changed the way it calculated inflation in 1980, after the hyper-inflation during the Carter Administration.
The Core Inflation Index specifically EXCLUDES BOTH FOOD AND ENERGY. Food makes up almost 15% of the basic CPI calculation and Energy 8.5%. Now how many people do you know that don't eat or use gasoline in a normal month?
I know it sounds crazy to exclude food and gasoline from the Core Inflation Index, but it does help the U.S. government. The Core Inflation Index is what the government uses to determine cost of living increases, known as COLA's, for people receiving social security and it is tied to many pensions and other benefits. This allows the government to make smaller COLA payments to retirees that are below the true level of inflation. Ungenerous people might call it a government Ponzi scheme.
The Core Inflation Index is also used to calculate the inflation rate for increases in "inflation adjusted" U.S. government bonds, better known as TIPs bonds. Because the Core Inflation Index is skewed based on deflating housing prices, PLUS THE ELIMINATION OF FOOD AND ENERGY, TIPS bonds most likely will never adequately protect investors from the true rate of inflation.
The government used the same calculation for the CPI from 1913 to 1980. In 1980, after four years of hyperinflation starting in the late 1970's, the government changed the calculation and DROPPED FOOD AND ENERGY from the Core Inflation Index. Here is a chart that shows how much inflation we really have today based on the pre-1980 government inflation calculation.
Source: www.ShadowStats.com
While the U.S. government repeatedly states that we currently have about 1% inflation, by using the older pre-1980 government calculation of inflation the "Alternate CPI" calculation reveals that at the end of 2010 the true inflation rate was 8.5%.
If you believe the Federal Reserve when it says the U.S. has effectively no inflation, why are so many investors buying gold and why is it hitting new price highs?
The answer to that question is because a large number of investment managers and very sophisticated investors know that the government's inflation calculation is designed to under-report the real inflation rate. They know that 8.5% inflation is significant and that is why so many sophisticated investors are moving larger percentages of their investment portfolios to gold and other hard asset commodities.
Cash and U.S. Treasury bonds are one of the worst investments you can hold during inflationary times. Investors are making almost no yields off their fixed income and cash in-vestments, while inflation is reducing the purchasing power of those investments by at least 8.5% annually. When the Federal Reserve eventually starts to raise rates, there is the real possibility of capital losses in longer-term treasury bonds.
Since TIPS bonds or so-called inflation protected bonds are tied to the Core Inflation Index calculation, they most likely will not offer adequate protection against real inflation.
At FOXHALL CAPITAL, we have re-positioned almost all of our fixed income investments to very short durations. We are holding very few long-term U.S. Treasury investments. We want to reduce the possibility that our clients may experience future capital losses when the Federal Reserve starts to raise rates.
I believe that physical commodities and commodity producers like oil and mining companies are the best way to hedge against the potential loss of purchasing power in your in-vestment portfolio due to a declining U.S. dollar.
That is why we designed the FOXHALL GLOBAL COMMODITIES & HARD ASSET STRAT-EGY.
I would first talk to your financial planner, but if you must hold significant amounts of cash, U.S. treasury bonds or other fixed income bonds, they should be moved to the shortest duration possible and in order to try and maintain those investment's purchasing power against a declining dollar, I would recommend that you invest at least 15% to 20% of the TOTAL VALUE OF YOUR CASH AND FIXED INCOME INVESTMENTS in a broad basket of com
modities like the FOXHALL GLOBAL COMMODITIES & HARD ASSET STRATEGY.
The world is getting more and more fragile and complex. Now, anything that happens in the world seems to immediately affect the stock market.
Thinking that we have complete control over our investments, the economy or anything else in life is simply an illusion. We have little or no control over anything, as those poor people in Japan found out as their homes and families were washed away in that tsunami.
The only thing you can do is to recognize that you have no control and then do everything in your power to protect yourself.
I always tell people they should buy flood insurance before the hurricane hits. It does no good to buy it after the flood.
Inflation is here. The loss of purchasing power in your retirement investments is real.
Talk to your financial planner. Commodities and commodity producing companies like oil and mining companies could provide the flood insurance you need to maintain the purchasing power of both your equity and fixed income investments.
You may need to reallocate your portfolio BEFORE THE FLOOD!

Bryon Hageman, 43, appeared in court Monday after troopers say he sent them on a chase and rammed a patrol car.
The court appearance was a video arraignment in Sylvania Municipal Court. No plea was entered, but will happen at a later date.
Hageman is being held on a $50,000 bond.
Troopers attempted to pull him over Sunday for reckless driving. They say he refused to stop, leading them on a pursuit. During that pursuit, they say he rammed into a cruiser and shots were fired at him. After taking off again, he was eventually found in a parking lot on Hill Avenue.
Hageman was treated for injuries and then taken to jail.
