By Mary Beth Marklein, USA TODAY
RACH GIA, Vietnam The words of a song about Kien Giang Community College here say it was created to meet "the pressing expectations of the motherland." But school founder Do Quoc Trung, who co-wrote the song, says he wants his students to know college can enrich them, too.
"For the future development of our communities, let's build our school together," say the lyrics. "For Kien Giang … let's devote and sacrifice our life."
Asian culture has long placed a premium on higher education, but Kien Giang Community College, located in the capital city of Kien Giang Province in Vietnam's Mekong Delta, is a relative newcomer.
COLLEGE RECRUITERS: Growing market overseas, especially Vietnam
COMMUNITY COLLEGES: Strive to add study-abroad experiences
U.S. FAMILIES: College plans change as costs weigh heavy
Founded in 2002, it is one of 15 created since 2000 in Vietnam, and is modeled in part on U.S. community colleges, where the concept was born in 1901, when Joliet (Ill.) Junior College was founded. And just as President Obama is counting on community colleges to prepare the USA's workforce for 21st century jobs, Trung and his counterparts here believe their fledgling schools have potential to play a lead role as Vietnam pursues its goal to join the ranks of industrialized countries by 2020.
Other countries, too, are tapping into U.S. community college expertise as they diversify their higher education systems. In April, China's Ministry of Education sent a delegation to the American Association of Community College convention in Phoenix, and a second group plans to visit in November. The first of several community colleges developed by the Republic of Georgia opened last year, with assistance from community colleges in Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin. Qatar's government is working with two U.S. community college presidents as it looks into offering associate degrees and a transfer option to four-year universities.
Such schools are not a new phenomenon beyond U.S. borders, says Rosalind Latiner Raby, director of the nonprofit group California Colleges for International Education. But changes in the economy have heightened interest worldwide in harnessing their potential. "What we're now seeing is an explosion that's been decades in the making," she says. "Most countries now either have or are developing plans for a community college-like institution."
Community colleges in Vietnam — or any country — are not carbon copies of the U.S. version. Iran and Mexico, for example, have borrowed heavily from France. Vietnam also has partnered with Canada and the Netherlands. And each system is shaped by its country's governance policies.
What binds such institutions is a common philosophy, Raby and other researchers have concluded: Whereas universities cater to an elite few, community colleges strive to address multiple needs of the public they serve, from nontraditional students to employers to low-income students just out of high school.
"We bring opportunity to the community," Trung says.
They appear to be having an impact. Since Kien Giang Community College was founded, the number of educated workers in the province's labor pool has jumped from 8.5% to 15% last year. Though the community college can't take sole credit for that, enrollments more than doubled, from 3,164 to about 6,500 in that period. It is 6,600 this year.
Like U.S. colleges, academic offerings such as accounting, finance and informational technology are standard fare. Kien Giang also has capitalized on the province's rich natural resources. As resorts attract more foreigners to Phu Quoc Island, a short ferry ride from Rach Gia, the school has been ramping up a tourism program. It launched a seafood technology program two years ago to help local fisheries meet export standards.
"We have a variety of food products but (the processing field is) not very developed," says Kien Giang food technology major Pham Thi Mong, 20 who hopes to go on to earn a bachelor's.
Many students aspire to begin their studies at a university — a bachelor's degree is held in high esteem — yet the odds of doing so are not in their favor. Just 16% of university age students in Vietnam were enrolled in higher education in 2005 (vs. 43% in Thailand that year, 17%-19% in China and Indonesia), says a Harvard report out last year.
Though that percentage is increasing, those precious few slots go only to those scoring highest on a national exam. The Vietnamese government, acknowledging that its higher education system needs an overhaul, encourages more affluent families to send their children abroad, or to one of the private universities sprouting here under agreements with other countries, including Australia, Germany, and the USA.
Affordability is a growing concern, too. Undergraduate tuition at a four-year public university is only slightly higher than it is for an associate's degree, but prices could increase this fall — to about $135 and $110, per academic year, respectively. But for students in Kien Giang Province, where the average household annual income is about $456, costs related to travel, housing and other expenses quickly add up. The nearest major universities is in Can Tho, a three hour drive from Rach Gia. And for some families, that's too far for comfort.
"My parents … do not want me to learn far from home. My home is near my school, it is very convenient for me," says English major Duong Thi My Hang, 21, who is pursuing a bachelor's degree through a satellite program at Kien Giang Community College. Added benefits she says, include the college's computer labs (acquired as part of a partnership with the India-based National Institute of Information Technologies) and its foreign teachers, who come mostly through a U.S. program called Princeton-in-Asia, a nonprofit founded in 1898 that sends college graduates to serve communities throughout Asia.
Still an 'experiment'
Yet for all their promise, the future of community colleges here remains uncertain. The most concrete roadblock: They must be granted permanent status from the government's Ministry of Education and Training. And it still views the schools as experimental.
One problem is that the concept is not fully understood by the public or some key decision-makers, says Mai Van Tinh, the Ministry of Education and Training official in charge of community colleges. Some provinces, for example, have tried to merge community colleges with long-established public professional schools that typically focus on a single discipline, such as teaching or medicine. That model reflects the "sluggish, stagnant and bureaucratic thinking … of the old command centralized planning market," Tinh says. Local leaders "did not understand that the North American model of community college is very dynamic and flexible in a market economy."
Tinh's interviews last year also found some provincial leaders who said they would rather have a four-year university.
In fact, three of Vietnam's 15 community colleges have been upgraded to university status. And Diane Oliver, an education professor at California State University-Fresno and lead author of a chapter on Vietnam in Community College Models: Globalization and Higher Education Reform, published in March and co-edited by Raby, worries that other schools may want to do the same — if only to ensure their continued existence. "Without a permanent regulation they're always in a little bit of jeopardy," she says.
The preference for university status reflects the biggest perceptual challenge for community colleges: lack of prestige — an issue not unfamiliar in the USA.
"Overcoming the stigma that they are perceived as 'lesser' institutions in terms of quality of education is a major hurdle" for Vietnam's community colleges, says Michael Michalak, U.S. ambassador to Vietnam. The State Department has helped support a number of initiatives here with U.S. community colleges.
The American Association of Community Colleges is working with its Vietnam counterpart to develop quality-assurance guidelines. And Trung, who hosted three U.S.-Vietnamese conferences during his tenure at Kien Giang, developed an especially close relationship with Mohawk Valley Community College in Utica, N.Y., one of four U.S. institutions to help his campus develop its information technology program.
Benefits go both ways. "U.S. companies doing business in Vietnam (need) a skilled workforce to function productively," Michalak says, and U.S. partnerships lend credibility to Vietnam's programs.
Tinh agrees. "I hope that in the near future, together with assistance and cooperation from U.S. community colleges, we will promote the pilot program … to the more permanent status," he says.
And Trung, who has been reassigned to a university starting this fall, hopes he is right.
"The country needs all levels (of training), from vocational to higher education," Trung says. But "the urgent aims of education are to bring training to the community and to provide opportunities for everybody."

Platinum Ribchester pair celebrate 70 years of marriage
1:00pm Thursday 12th June 2014 in News By Jon Robinson, Reporter
A RIBBLE Valley couple who were childhood friends have celebrated their platinum wedding anniversary together.
Ribchester couple Fred and Alicia Smith, 93, were married at St Stephen's Church, Little Harwood, 70 years ago and marked the day with their family.
The pair first met at Moss Street School in Blackburn in the 1930s before Fred joined Northrop Mill in the town as a loom maker.
Alicia, who was born in Blackburn, worked for The Co-op Laundry Shop in Clayton-le-Moors after attending Blakey Moor School.
Fred, who was born in Manchester, was called up to the army in 1944 and served in the Royal Armoured core, the First King's Dragoons as a tank driver and engineer.
He served in Egypt during the war before being demobbed in 1947.
After the war, Fred returned to his old job before moving to Bury to run a factory. Shortly after, the pair opened a baby clothes shop in Whalley Range, Blackburn, which Alicia ran full-time, before moving to Ribchester 49 years ago.
The couple, who live in Chester Brook, have two children, six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, with a sixth due on June 21.
Fred said: "I suppose the secret of our success has been being active together.
"We danced, cycled and swam together for as long as we could.
"We are still best friends and we help each other as much as we can.
"We enjoy our time together very much.
"Alicia sat behind me through our time at school together.
"And we were friends from the start."
The couple received their third congratulatory card from the Queen on their anniversary after being sent one in 2004 and again in 2009. Their daughter, Janis Whitlock, 57, said: "It has been great to have had them around when my children and grandchildren have been growing up.
"I'm very lucky to still have parents at my age because a lot of people don't.
"They are a lovely couple and they are always together. They are inseparable really.
"Apart from when dad used to play snooker at the club once a week.
"They have always been there for my children, which has been amazing and they have helped out when they could.
"They first met at junior school and haven't looked back since."

"I ordered this design for xmas season 2013. The product was very fast to get to me, which was great. We took our Santa photos in early December, and I already had the cards in my hand by 12/14! The paper quality is really nice cardstock, like a proper postcard. Even though the design is photo-centric, it wasnt glossy - the images were high quality color print and matte finish, sort of like the art in a comic. The colors were true to the digital pictures, not overly glossy, and the picture resolution was beautiful. I would definitely recommend to people looking for a fun design that isnt overly glossy or photo (holds up better in transit)"
"Love this card. I did mine with the antique photo finish which I think compliments the design and feel of the card. Good quality of paper. Product looks better in person than on line. Two thumbs up!"
"I ordered the "bare bones" (i.e., not glossy, uncut) version of this card. The images are beautiful, sharp and colorful. The cardstock is nice and not at all flimsy. The envelopes (again, just blank ones) were also good quality, which really makes a difference to me: all too often, I feel that companies will spend their time making a nice card and then provide a thin, cheap envelope to stuff it in. I will definitely use Tiny Prints again."
"This card worked perfectly to feature all our kids. I love the effect of the writing over the large picture - looks great!"
"Shortly after receiving our beautiful Christmas cards, which announced our third pregnancy, we found out that our baby had passed away in my womb. I spoke with a customer service representative whom was extremely understanding of our difficult situation. He immediately offered to reprint all 100 of our cards without the announcement of Baby #3, and at no additional cost. This exemplifies true holiday spirit and our family is very grateful. Thank you, Tiny Prints. We will be back for future purchases and will recommend your company to all our friends and family!"

Where do you think his mom is from?
Bard has one of the best attitudes of any MLB player. Period. He's actually a warrior.
I wish Bard wasnt inured like that. Hes been a decent hitter. Not great, but decent.
Italy? Cuba? no idea. Morse is from Florida.
his bat is good enough for a back-up, but his game calling needs work. he has a good arm though.yeah. i remember quotes from spring training, a lot of the young starting pitchers were giving him a lot of credit.
Bard does not have a good arm.I'd respect him more if he took himself out of the lineup and went on the DL.
I'm eating a Press Box burger from the kitchen they have up here and it is fantastic.
Does it come wrapped in newspaper?
looked safe to me
great arm strength shown by Guzman. looked safe to me
Wrong. Out.
too bad MASN didn't show the replay. looked safe.no way to tell unless you see a slow mo replay.

UKIP's Beirne attacks parking scheme after 7,000 tickets are dished out (From St Helens Star)

UKIP's John Beirne attacks parking scheme after 7,000 tickets are dished out
3:00pm Thursday 13th March 2014 in News By Stephen Mather, Senior Reporter
ALMOST 7,000 parking tickets were handed out to motorists in St Helens during the last year and the council raked in £183,058 in parking penalties.
Ex-Lib Dem John Beirne, who is back on the political scene after switching parties to UKIP, unearthed the information after submitting a Freedom of Information Request to the town hall.
The period in question is between February 1, 2013 and January 31, 2014.
The former councillor said that dishing out tickets would have a negative effect on revitalising the town centre economy.
He said: "Motorists should not be punished to make up the council's funding problems."
Asked if his views had credibilty given he was a town centre councillor when the then Lib Dem run council introduced the street parking regime in 2009, he replied: "And doesn't Labour go on about it. They are in control and nothing has changed.
"I want some sort of investigation into the regime to find out whether the council is targeting specific areas."
Beirne, owner of Avanti hair salon in the town centre, added: "I get customers coming telling me they are going to other towns such as Widnes.
"Whichever party is in power they need to find out what the problem is."
While not addressing Beirne's claims directly a council spokeswoman confirmed that the income stated was paid through several methods such as fixed penalties.
St Helens Council insists its charges for town centre car parks are more cheaper than many neighbouring boroughs and that its frere after 3pm promotion also draws in more shoppers late in the afternoon.
Local authority budget reports, however, have pointed to a reduction in footfall to the town centre in recent years, which is reducing income from car parks.

Yep, it's back. After a big 2014 class, the 2015 promises to be much the same. Here's what you need to know.
- The likely combination of players will be one guard, one small forward, and one big- There's always a token transfer or whatever, so I think that this class could end up with four guys.
- Again, Louisville is going to be selective- I don't know that Louisville has been in such a good spot with so many five star guys. Louisville has a great show with many of the top guys.
- There's a good chance for a few summer commitments
And now, here's the rundown rankings. Remember this isn't a board that only takes the staff's wants into account but also, how talented the player is and how realistic of a target he is.
The Rundown Rankings:
- Deng Adel
- Antonio Blakeney
- Bryant Crawford
- Ray Smith
- Stephen Zimmerman
- Caleb Swanigan
- Brandon Ingram
- Isaiah Briscoe
- Dwayne Bacon
- Raymond Spalding
Here's why the players are ranked where they are.
Deng Adel, in my mind, has to be the top prospect at this point. He's a small forward from Australia who can do a little bit of everything, from scoring, to rebounding, to passing. He's been destroying the AAU Circuit of late and will likely be ranked anywhere from a top 20 to top 50 player. Louisville has a lot of connections to him (like Mangok Mathiang, he's Sudanese and moved to Australia), and many consider him to be a near lock to the Cards. I think this one gets done in the coming months.
Antonio Blakeney is a scoring shooting guard out of Florida. Arguably the best scorer in the entire class and a great athlete, Blakeney is likely the top prospect on Rick Pitino's board. Blakeney would be able to fill the void left by Russ Smith as a go to scorer on the perimeter. The primary competition here is Florida, but I think that we lead at this point. It'll be interesting to see how this one plays out during the summer.
Bryant Crawford is a point man from DC. As you probably guessed, he has connections to Kenny Johnson. He's very fast and also is a very good passer. What's interesting about this one is that he's visiting on June 11th, although he does not have an offer. Would he commit on visit if Pitino were to offer him? It will be worth watching to see if our first addition to the program comes in the next two weeks.
Ray Smith is a small forward from Las Vegas. Smith is one of the top targets at small forward, and is a guy that has tons of potential. He's an explosive athlete who also has a pretty decent jumpshot. He's also the kind of athlete that RP could develop into a stud defender. He will visit for the Wake Forest football game on September 27th, so we're definitely in well here. The questions for me are whether he is a guy willing to leave the west coast, and how the potential addition of Deng Adel or another small forward would affect him.
Stephen Zimmerman may be the top five big man that finally breaks the drought for Louisville. Also out of Las Vegas, Zimmerman has already said that he wants to visit Louisville. Simply put, he's a good fit for the system that RP runs at Louisville. He runs the floor well, and thrives facing up. Honestly, I think that Louisville has a shot here. Definitely someone worth watching.
Caleb Swanigan recently reclassified from the class of 2016. He is one of the guys that Kenny Johnson has been able to get us involved with. He isn't the tallest or most athletic, but he can score in the post and rebound well. As you can tell by his profile, one of the main competitors is Michigan State. We're in a good spot here.
Brandon Ingram hails from North Carolina, and you can guess what that means. Many believe that UNC and Duke are the top two teams. However, many also believe that Louisville would be the pick if he goes out of state. He's in the Anthony Davis mold as a guy who has grown a bunch over the course of about a year, while retaining a lot of his guard-like skills. He hasn't committed to either Carolina school yet, so we'll see where it goes.
Isaiah Briscoe is a top 20 point guard from NYC. Much like the others on this list, he's more of a scorer. Don't think many have a good feel for where he's favoring at the moment, but we definitely are in the thick of things. With how well Rick has recruited New York, I think this is a guy we could pull.
Dwayne Bacon has been a high priority recruit for a long time. He's a bit undersized for a small forward, but he's a very strong player that has a balanced offensive game. Not a ton of recruiting news on this guy, but we definitely have a chance in this one.
Raymond Spalding is a power forward from Trinity. He's really athletic and has a lot of potential. However, considering that he said he grew up a UofL fan, I think we can get him when we offer. I think that this recruitment depends how things go with the other targets.
Other guys to look out for: Carlton Bragg, Derrick Jones, Jalen Adams, Ivan Rabb, Doral Moore, Cheick Diallo
And lastly, some things that I didn't get to earlier in the post-
Deng Adel will visit June 16. Definitely a chance to nab a cornerstone there.
Stephen Zimmerman will officially visit Louisville on September 26th, the same weekend as Ray Smith.
Thanks for reading, and make sure you vote in the poll question!

Cacti is a great tool for collecting information about systems and graphing it. However, it likes to use SNMP, and SNMP is often not desirable. Instead, I often see the need for a method that is:
- Secure. Use trusted, well-known, encrypted communication. Do not open up new ports.
- Zero install on the monitored system.
- As little installation or modification on the monitoring system as possible.
Over the last several years, I've slowly created more and more software to create Cacti graphs via standard POSIX command-line utilities over SSH with key-pair authentication. (I've also created similar software for Nagios, but that's another matter.) The major problem with the work I've done is that it's totally un-publicized.

Sunday, December 09, 2012
President Barack Obama asked Congress Friday for $60.4 billion in federal aid for New York, New Jersey and other states hit by Sandy in late October. The aid request, submitted on behalf of the President by Office of Management and Budget Deputy Director Jeffrey Zients, notes that while damage estimates from Hurricane Sandy are not final, it's on track to be the second or third most costly natural disaster in U.S. history, behind Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and close to Hurricane Andrew in 1992.

After the better part of two weeks, all of Gap's e-commerce sites are back online. For the second quarter, Gap is also reporting total online sales of $107 million, including $40 million for Gap.com and $52 million for Old Navy.com.
After a major upgrade that took all or a portion of its web stores down for almost two weeks, Gap Inc. is finally back online. Gap is also now breaking out its online sales, which were flat in the second quarter of 2005, compared with the same quarter in 2004.
Gap, No. 22 in the Internet Retailer Top 400 Guide to Retail Web Sites, took its three principal web sites – Gap.com, OldNavy.com and BananaRepublic.com – down on Aug. 24 for a substantial overhaul. The new update features several new upgrades that help to personalize the shopping experience, says a Gap spokesperson.
For instance, Gap created new tools that help shoppers see more detail such as product overviews and available sizes and colors. Customers can choose an outfit and on the same page see how the clothes look with matching accessories. The shopping cart has also been updated with new and larger images and editing tools.
To drive traffic and sales, Gap.com is consolidating more activity onto a single product page. In an effort to streamline shopping, visitors can see enhanced images of a particular item, including available sizes and colors, and add the item or items to their shopping cart all on a single page. "Quick Look is the fastest shopping around," Gap says on its new redesigned web site.
Gap is redesigning its web site to become "the best online apparel retailer," the company says in its recently filed second quarter results.
But web sales were essentially flat for Gap and its e-commerce sites when compared on a quarterly basis with 2004. For the second quarter of its fiscal year, Gap is reporting total online sales of $107 million, including $40 million for Gap.com, $52 million for Old Navy.com and $15 million for BananaRepublic.com. In comparison for the second quarter of 2004, total web sales were $106 million, including $43 million for Gap.com, $46 million for OldNavy.com and $17 million for BananaRepublic.com.
For the first six months of 2005, web sales for all Gap e-commerce sites were $245 million, including $95 million for Gap.com, $114 million for Old Navy.com and $36 million for BananaRepublic.com.
That compares to total e-commerce revenues of $234 million for first six months of 2004, including $101 million for Gap.com, $94 million for Old Navy.com and $39 million for BananaRepublic.com.

VIDEO: First Look - New Trailer for Gareth Evans' THE RAID 2: BERENDAL
Sony Pictures Classics and Stage 6 Films have revealed a new trailer Gareth Evans' THE RAID 2: BERENDAL. The film hits theaters on March 28. Get a first look below!
About THE RAID 2: BERENDAL:
He thought it was over. After fighting his way out of a building filled with gangsters and madmen - a fight that left the bodies of police and gangsters alike piled in the halls - rookie Jakarta cop Rama thought it was done and he could resume a normal life. He couldn't have been more wrong.
Formidable though they may have been, Rama's opponents in that fateful building were nothing more than small fish swimming in a pond much larger than he ever dreamed possible. And his triumph over the small fry has attracted the attention of the predators farther up the food chain. His family at risk, Rama has only one choice to protect his infant son and wife: He must go undercover to enter the criminal underworld himself and climb through the hierarchy of competing forces until it leads him to the corrupt politicians and police pulling the strings at the top of the heap.
And so Rama begins a new odyssey of violence, a journey that will force him to set aside his own life and history and take on a new identity as the violent offender "Yuda." In prison he must gain the confidence of Uco - the son of a prominent gang kingpin - to join the gang himself, laying his own life on the line in a desperate all-or-nothing gambit to bring the whole rotten enterprise to an end.

you are viewing a single comment's thread.
The text was cut off again. So, I am reposting.
2. Did huge outliers drive the FEV1 benefit in the 600 mg dose arm that will be studied in phase III?
A. At a Morgan Stanley Conf. webcast, CFO stated [NO] to a similar question by Friedman. It is unlikely to have few wild data points to drive the average to the high value because if this scenario were true, the p-value would not be so low,
3. Was the sweat chloride change at 200 mg and 400 mg statistically significant?
A. The late June PR states, I am quoting:
[A statistically significant reduction in sweat chloride was observed from Day 0 to 28 in homozygous patients treated with VX-809 (200mg, 400mg) alone compared to placebo. Additional reductions in sweat chloride were observed between Day 28 and 56, but were not statistically significant.].
This result is qualitatively similar to the change in the 600 mg arm.
4. Why did VX-809 as a monotherapy do worse than placebo? What activity does VX-809 have in the first place?
A. Feuerstein thought that this highlights one of [weirder] data points of the study. This question is rather meaningless and I disagree with Adam's response. The Placebo arm scored -0.9 (p=0.54), the 600 mg arm scored -2.9 (p=0.07) after 28 days. Both numbers have high p-values. This means that the difference between their decreases is also NOT statistically significant.
But it is significant that both decreased. I have been saying that it is important to know the first 28 day course of 200 mg and 400 mg arms. The reason is that if FEV1 for both arms decreased like the placebo and 600 mg arms, we know why all of them decreased. I predict that all arms show a decreasing lung function in the first half (28 days) of the trial.
5. What were the baseline values for the patients in the study?
A. This is an excellent question. The lung function had to be determined before the dosing in order to measure the effect of the drugs. Since antibiotics dosing was withdrawn for all participants at the beginning of 809 dosing, its effect on the lung function has to be estimated with a good data collected from the placebo arm before and after the withdrawal. In Ph. III, 50% of the placebo arm should receive antibiotics to isolate its effect.
Very much appreciated Third.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
What are your impressions of Dr Boyle's presentation and the investor conference? The questions relayed by Feuerstein were answered--right?
The elephant in the room is sweat chloride, which was an original study endpoint. Had they been able to give a logical explanation for the lack of reduction in sweat chloride AND shown the FEV improvement they have shown then the skeptics would be converted.

Emirates pays their ground staff a fraction of what other carriers have to pay their workers and unions are outlawed in the UAE. They've got a monopoly on a majority of their routes as they're located in a part of the world that has very little room for competition and their fares reflect it.
While the rest of the plant was reeling under a bad econmy and super-high fuel prices Dubai was in a position to exploit their advantages...no personal taxes, inexpensive labor force and governent-backed/no risk government funding.
Check back on Emirates in a year when they've completely overscheduled DXB airport and their delays rival PHL or EWR on a bad day.

Crystal Sugar used its own product to pay off $46.6 million on a federal loan debt, probably costing taxpayers tens of millions.
The sugar market's struggles prompted Crystal Sugar's unusual loan repayment.
Photo: GLEN STUBBE • Star Tribune,
WASHINGTON – Minnesota's biggest sugar beet cooperative gave the U.S. government 195 million pounds of its product Tuesday to pay back $46.6 million in federal loans.
An official at Moorhead-based American Crystal Sugar Co. said depressed sugar prices made forfeiture of its product a better deal than selling it for cash to repay the loan.
"It was the best outlet at this time," said Kevin Price, lobbyist for the 4,000-member co-op.
The move likely will cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars as the U.S. Department of Agriculture tries to unload the sugar in a market where supply far exceeds demand. Because of the government shutdown, it was not clear how many other companies across the country paid back loans in sugar instead of dollars.
Crystal Sugar's decision came a day after the government announced that it had lost $53.3 million buying sugar from companies across the country and selling it to biofuel producers. The $53.3 million loss was considered necessary to limit the amount of sugar borrowers would use to pay back loans.
All the moves have focused a harsh glare on the country's complex and controversial sugar support program, which protects producers and refiners by limiting imports and letting companies repay federal loans with sugar when prices dip below certain levels.
The program's supporters have pushed it as operating "at no cost to taxpayers." But this fiscal year taxpayers appear to be on the hook for more than $100 million due to a combination of government buybacks and forfeitures.
In Minnesota, Crystal Sugar had to resort to forfeitures for the first time in more than a decade. Paying off its loans in sugar instead of cash was necessary, said Price, because the country is "terribly oversupplied with sugar."
Crystal Sugar had borrowed $71,790,000 from the USDA in fiscal 2013 to run its sugar processing plants, putting up 300 million pounds of sugar as collateral. Before Tuesday's forfeiture, the co-op sold the USDA 105 million pounds of beet sugar for more than $25 million. The government immediately resold that sugar to biofuel producers for about $5 million, a $20 million loss to the government.
The nation's arcane sugar price support program, which dates to the 1930s, usually makes U.S. sugar users pay well above the world market price. But the North American Free Trade Agreement has expanded imports from Mexico.
Increased Mexican imports along with bumper sugar crops around the globe have combined to drive down prices everywhere, with no relief in sight.
"The oversupply that is in place doesn't seem to be easing anytime soon," said Price.
He could not say if Crystal Sugar would take a government loan in fiscal 2014 that could be paid back in sugar. But the law allows it.
That fact has moved a coalition of candy makers, open market advocates and consumer groups to urge the U.S. House of Representatives to pass a motion to reopen negotiations on the sugar program.
Sugar lobby's success
Spending millions of dollars on lobbying and campaign contributions, the sugar lobby succeeded in convincing the House and Senate to include the sugar program in separate five-year farm bills passed in each chamber.
Now opponents hope a House vote can make a conference committee that will work out differences between the bills consider changes to the sugar program, too.
