The Obama administration has made it a specific goal to increase export-driven jobs. In his 2010 State of the Union address, President Obama announced the National Export Initiative, a government-wide strategy intended to double U.S. exports within five years. There are some indications of success: U.S. exports in 2012 hit a record high of more than $1.5 trillion, and the first quarter of 2013 was the highest quarterly total ever at nearly $400 billion. Still, the country is far from hitting the NEI goal.
Although some export behemoths — Microsoft and Disney, which export electronically by download, and Boeing, which ships its goods on its own planes, come to mind — don't need the transportation industry's services, transportation is still critical to trade growth. Traditionally, attention has been focused on consumer product and industrial component imports, which are high value and originate from a few locations. Successful import transportation comes down to transit time and reliability. The pair of sneakers we purchase for more than $100 costs less than $1 to transport.
Export transportation, although less glamorous, can literally determine market success. Many exports are traded commodities, where the cost of transportation may be more significant to the landed cost than the actual underlying cost of the goods. Expensive transportation (and currency exchange rates) may exclude goods from certain markets on a competitive basis.
Historically, export transportation has revolved around agribusiness and energy. Energy used to be about export coal, but U.S. coal exports have plummeted because of falling demand in China and global oversupply. The rapid conversion of domestic coal power generation to natural gas only heightens the urgency for U.S. coal producers.
Although the railroads have traditionally relied on transporting coal, the historic realignment of energy brought on by fracking has generated new business at record levels. Railroads are competing with pipelines to move natural gas and crude to refineries. This modal transformation has changed LNG's transportation focus from importing to exporting. Ensuring sufficient marine terminals to handle these exports is already a challenge.
Export grain is a major part of the nation's transportation system. Over the past decade, rising prices have been more important than growing volumes to rising export value. Most grain moves to Asia after it flows by rail to the Pacific Northwest, or by rail and barge to the Gulf. Gulf ports could be a major beneficiary of the expanded Panama Canal in 2015 — if the Mississippi River remains navigable.
Although most grain exports are bulk, some shipments (not to mention the rest of agribusiness) move in containers. As container vessels become larger, they grow competitive with traditional bulk and reefer vessels in many trades.
Some shipper representatives lament the shortage of available empty containers at the export source. Still, neither shippers nor ocean carriers seem willing to reposition an ample supply of empties to export loading points. Frequently, the optimal asset yield decision is for the carrier to reposition an empty back to Asia. Export shippers, accustomed to low backhaul rates, are unwilling to accept cost-based increases in a market-driven pricing environment.
A more serious challenge is safety. Twenty years ago, Congress passed the Intermodal Safe Container Transportation Act to address misstatement of container weights. Although this problem remains pervasive worldwide, it doesn't appear to be a problem in the U.S, because many states — especially those with ports — have engaged in a race to the bottom in granting exceptions to the 80,000 federal maximum gross vehicle weights. There is no need to misdeclare a shipment when a previously overweight container now meets legal requirements.
These heavier highway weights may be legal, but are they safe? Recent industry research suggests not. Most of the current ISO chassis fleet is incapable of handling loads of 100,000 pounds. Many chassis structural components were designed prior to 80,000 pounds GVW, and non-radial tires can't safely accommodate 100,000 GVW. Nevertheless, states from Virginia to Florida routinely allow such heavy loads on their highways without any restrictions. Some of these states justify their practice by citing the fact that adjoining states already permit the same.
The freight transportation industry is frequently beset with post-disaster regulatory mandates — consider positive train control and double-hulled tankers. Will a horrific truck accident cause a belated reaction to heavier truck loads and disrupt established export economics? Supporting economic prosperity is a key role for government, but it also needs to guarantee adequate capacity and safety.
It appears that closer examination of the last two, especially safety, may be necessary.

Iran Mocks President Obama by Honoring Mughniyeh
President Obama has a full court press under way to stop Congress from passing new sanctions legislation that could–could, not will–impose sanctions on Iran one year from now if negotiations break down or Iran cheats. The idea seems to be that passage of the bill would signal mistrust of Iran, or would break the spell of sincerity being cast at the negotiating table. Read more »

Nearly 56,000 Alabamians may stop receiving an extension on unemployment benefits.
In this tight economy, that could be the difference between paying bills or putting food on the table.
Congress has until midnight tonight to step in and make a decision.
But for those unemployed, time is ticking.
"Just pray I can hurry up and get a job. It doesn't matter what I'm doing just as long as I can get a job," said Erica Pearson, whose been searching for a job for 5 months.
Millions across the nation can empathize with Pearson.
"It's a struggle everyday because you have bills. You know your bills aren't going to stop you have to constantly keep pressing yourself to go out there and get a job every day," said Pearson.
"Federal programs that have extended unemployment benefits in Alabama beyond the normal 26 weeks will expire this week," said Tom Surtees, Director of Alabama Department of Industrial Labor.
"There are people who will come in and say are you hiring? We will always take their application because we don't want to pass up a superstar," said Matt Howell, Owner of Atlanta Bread Company.
Unfortunately, super stars are far and between.
Howell has seen many applicants apply at his store and some are just meeting unemployment requirements.
"You pretty much know when they're looking at you waiting for you to say no we're not hiring. They're almost relieved when you just take the application," said Howell.
Surtees says since 2008, unemployment benefits have been extended an additional 73 weeks costing tax payers more than $1 Billion.
"Between now and April 30th, individuals that are currently receiving these extended benefits will lose those benefits as they exhaust," said Surtees.
State Officials don't want you to panic, extensions will not end abruptly.
"Part of the 50,000 may cease getting their benefits within the next week or so while others it will be towards the end of April," said Surtees.
He says it's important for people to keep certifying each week with the department.
If Congress approves the extension, benefits will be retroactive making the transition much smoother.

December 22, 2014
ELY, Nev. (AP) - A federal official says a lightning-sparked wildfire has been contained after burning about 460 acres of public land about 10 miles northwest of the rural Nevada town of Hiko.
Federal Bureau of Land Management spokesman Chris Hanefeld in
Ely says no injuries were reported, and no private property or
structures were threatened.
He says the so-called Jacob Fire started about 6 p.m. Wednesday and was declared fully contained Saturday night, with help from Nevada Division of Forestry and U.S. Forest Service fire crews.
Incident Commander Eric Ellison says the fire area will be assessed for emergency stabilization and rehabilitation.
Hiko is in Lincoln County, about 100 miles north of Las Vegas.

Michael Kors (KORS) has consistently exceeded market expectations since its IPO in December 2011, but the michael kors factory store story is far from over. Below are a combination of five qualitative and quantitative reasons of why Michael Kors remains a strong BUY ahead of its earnings report next week.
Five Qualitative/Quantitative Bullish Reasons for michael kors factory outlet All Recent Analyst Reports Have Been Bullish.
Earlier this week, Canaccord Genuity initiated their coverage of michael kors outlet store with a buy rating and a target price of $82, the highest on the street. Canaccord Genuity sees the official michael kors factory outlet online company growing double globally by F2015. See below other price targets for the company. The michael kors factory outlet average price target on the street is $73.
As you can see above, Barclays has continued to up their price target as michael kors continues to grow, with plenty of room for expansion remaining. Additionally, michael kors factory outlet online have been bullish comments made by other analysts in the past few days regarding michael kors.
Earlier this month, Morgan Stanley (MS) added Michael Kors to its best ideas list, and called the company "retail's best growth story" and says now is the time to buy ahead of michael kors outlet store report on May 29.

US Durable Goods Orders Up 9.9 Percent
The disappointing report on durable goods led several economists to downgrade their forecasts for third-quarter economic growth. Michael Feroli, an economist at JPMorgan Chase, lowered his forecast to an annual rate of 1.6 percent, down from 1.8 percent. Peter Newland, an economist at Barclays Capital, reduced his forecast to a rate of 1.8 percent from 2 percent.
Either figure would reflect little improvement from the April-June growth rate of only 1.3 percent.
Business investment has slumped even as consumers have become more hopeful about the economy in recent months. Consumer confidence rose in October to a five-year high. Retail spending increased in September, mainly because Americans bought more cars, iPhones and appliances. And home sales are up this year, contributing to a nascent housing recovery.
Consumer spending drives nearly 70 percent of economic activity."We have the consumer to thank for keeping the economy above water," Feroli said. Still, the gains are far from what is needed to ignite the economy and spur rapid hiring. Economists at JPMorgan Chase project consumer spending could increase at an annual rate of 2.2 percent in the third quarter. That's better than the 1.5 percent rate in the second quarter, but still anemic by historical standards. Meanwhile, sluggish business investment has dragged on job creation at U.S. factories. Manufacturers slashed 20,000 jobs in the third quarter. Factories had added 194,000 jobs in the previous three quarters. The job market has been a key topic in this year's presidential election, which is less than two weeks away. A separate report Thursday suggested hiring remains modest, at best. Weekly applications for unemployment benefits fell last week to a seasonally adjusted 369,000, stabilizing after two weeks in which seasonal factors distorted the data. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, rose to 368,000, the Labor Department said. Applications are a proxy for layoffs. When they fall below 375,000, it suggests hiring is strong enough to lower the unemployment rate.

Clinic, 'Bubblegum' (Domino)
- SPIN Rating:7 of 10
Label: Domino
The title of Clinic's sixth album cheekily nods to the surgical-masked Brits' current, revamped sound--a softer spin on indie pop with their usual gritty agitation almost completely scrubbed away. Songs such as the gorgeous "Freemason Waltz" and keening, melancholic "Another Way of Giving" imagine an alternate-universe sock hop, led by a stripped-down and Anglicized Sigur Rós. Only "Lion Tamer" and "Orangutan" recall the more desperate density of Clinic's high point, 2000 debut full-length Internal Wrangler. But since the band's major fault has been sonic stasis, it's nice to see them change the pace, even if it means easing back.

Stock-Market Sages Say Worst Is to Come
Pressed to put that into numbers, he said a normal rally from the 667 low on the S&P 500 would take that index back up to the 1,000-1,100 range. (It's around 900 right now.) After that, he expects the next wave down to be larger than the initial drop of 58%. You do the math.
Prechter calls it a "C" wave in Elliott Theory and notes: "Declining C waves are usually devastating in their destruction." He says the "credit implosion" isn't finished. Much like Japan, he predicts, we'll have to live through a long period of declining asset values, summed up in one word: deflation.
Traders can follow these volatile waves, but where do long-term investors hide during extended deflation? Not in stocks, real estate or commodities, even though today's prices seem like bargains.
"Until the credit implosion is over, the only place to hide is cash -- safe equivalents such as Treasury bills and Swiss money-market claims (Swiss T-bills). Holding on to your money will give you a chance to buy the real bargains when the bottom eventually arrives several years from now."I had just finished digesting that forecast from Prechter when I received the latest issue of Bert Dohmen's Wellington Letter. Regular readers know I highly value Bert's perspective, as he uses both technical analysis and an insightful view of both politics and the economy. Noting that bear market retracements can be deceiving, Dohmen pointed out that the first rally after the historic 1929 crash extended into 1930 and produced a 52% gain. And then the market plunged another 64%.

The Supreme Court in India has proposed suspending the Chennai Super Kings and the Rajasthan Royals from participating in the next Indian Premier League tournament starting in the UAE next month.
It also proposed Test great Sunil Gavaskar as a temporary replacement for Narayanaswami Srinivasan to lead India's cricket board until the completion of an investigation into match-fixing in the Indian Premier League.
Srinivasan's lawyer, Aditya Verma, on Thursday said the court is expected to rule on his client's short-term future Friday after a response from the Board of Control for Cricket in India.
Gurunath Meiyappan, the son-in-law of BCCI president Srinivasan, was indicted last month on charges of betting and passing on information to illegal bookmakers.
"If the Supreme Courts asks me to do something, I will be happy to do it," Gavaskar told NDTV. "But not having IPL is not going to help. When match-fixing cropped up, no one said to stop Test cricket.
"We will have to wait and see what direction the Supreme Court gives. But any cricket lover will feel sad if Chennai doesn't play in the IPL. They have given a lot of joy to fans."

Willemijn Vermaat, 40, was briefly detained the following morning, before the statue was found knocked over, and she appears to have left the country.
More than 1,000 people, including monks and students, gathered Wednesday in front of the Royal Palace to mark the second anniversary of the passing of former king Norodom Sihanouk.
The statue, in Bayon Temple, was found tipped over, while a New Zealand woman who sneaked into the temples one night last week is suspected, police say.
Texas-based Nigerian filmmaker Kelechi Eke makes "Nollywood" style films that focus on the lives of African immigrants as well as important issues back in Africa. VOA's Greg Flakus has this report from Houston.

Our old leopard cur, Clio, loved to dance to the Grateful Dead. When "Uncle John's Band" or "Sugar Magnolia" blew from the speakers and the windows started shaking she would dance with a smile, her brown eye focused on the here and now, her ice blue eye with the brown pie-piece wedge scanning the cosmos. She danced only to the Dead—not because they were all she heard but because how could she not? The Dead were the world's house band, in the finest sense of the word.
Clio was a junkyard dog who took life as it came. She loved to charge through the woods with abandon, a pleasure that nearly brought her death one day in Vermont when at full tilt she flew off the lip of an abandoned quarry with a 100-foot drop to rocks. She managed to turn in free fall and get her front paws latched onto a small ledge. There she clung with a look on her face of horror mingled with panic. With Gina holding on to my left hand and on to a sapling that was bent double by our collective weight, I edged over the lip and stretching as far as I could just managed to grab the 50-round dog by the scruff of her neck and one-arm her up and over to firm ground.

Lincoln's Sword: The Presidency and the Power of Words (Paperback)
Not currently in the store – Usually ships in 1-5 days
Widely considered in his own time as a genial but provincial lightweight who was out of place in the presidency, Abraham Lincoln astonished his allies and confounded his adversaries by producing a series of speeches and public letters so provocative that they helped revolutionize public opinion on such critical issues as civil liberties, the use of black soldiers, and the emancipation of slaves. This is a brilliant and unprecedented examination of how Lincoln used the power of words to not only build his political career but to keep the country united during the Civil War.
About the Author
Douglas L. Wilson, co-director, with Rodney O. Davis, of the Lincoln Studies Center at Knox College, is the author Lincoln before Washington: New Perspectives on the Illinois Years (University of Illinois Press, 1997); Herndon's Informants: Letters and Interviews about Abraham Lincoln (edited with Rodney O. Davis, University of Illinois Press, 1998); and Honor's Voice: The Transformation of Abraham Lincoln (Alfred A. Knopf, 1998), which was awarded the Lincoln Prize for 1999, and Herndon's Lincoln (edited with Rodney O. Davis, University of Illinois Press, 2006). The Lincoln Studies Center is currently retained by the Library of Congress to transcribe and annotate documents in its Lincoln Papers for the World Wide Web. He lives in Galesburg, Illinois, Abraham Lincoln's hometown.
Praise for Lincoln's Sword: The Presidency and the Power of Words…
"This book is so good that it will shape Lincoln scholarship for generations. Never has the craft of Lincoln's writing been more brilliantly revealed. Never has the mind of Lincoln been more deeply penetrated."
—Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln
"Fascinating. . . an engaging story of how Lincoln used his great intellect and love of the English language to pull the country through its darkest hour. Most books about Lincoln tell the reader why he was a great man; Lincoln's Sword tells how he made himself a great man."
—Pittsburg Tribune-Review
"The finest book yet produced about Lincoln's uncanny creative process. . . makes a major contribution to scholarship."
—The New York Sun
"What a delight, what a wonder. . . . For a few hours your faith will be restored in democracy and politics."
—San Francisco Chronicle

LONDON (Bloomberg) -- Enquest Plc CEO Amjad Bseisu said he plans to buy more oil and gas assets in the UK North Sea to boost output as a six-month delay to one of its projects pushed the company's shares to a one-year low.
"We're looking at many opportunities, most likely to take place in the UK," Bseisu said in a phone interview. "We're looking to bid for assets. We have significant firepower."
Enquest fell 4.7% to 118.80 pence at the close in London trading, the lowest level since July 2, 2013, as its Alma/Galia project faces a six-month delay because of winter weather. First oil is now expected by the middle of next year, with three wells completed and a fourth ready by the end of the month, Bseisu said.
The company boosted production 18% in the first half to 25,292 boepd with acquisitions and efficiency measures, London-based Enquest said on Aug. 13 in a statement.
It maintained an average full-year forecast of 25,000 to 30,000 barrels, higher than last year's output. First-half revenue increased more than 10%, according to the company.
Enquest completed the acquisition of 50% of the Greater Kittiwake area of the North Sea this year. It also bought an operating interest in the Seligi field in Malaysia.

Solved (but can't edit the title of this thread).
OK, I'm not sure if this should be in Hardware or Software but here goes.
We recently purchased a new server (HP ML370 GS twin Xeon, X64, 4GB RAM, RAID 5 etc.) and along with it a new HP 1/8 G2 Autoloader.
All is setup OK and server and Autoloader are fine and dandy. The only issue is that I can't backup anything!
Server has 2003 SP2 x64 OS (will be used as Exchange 2007 server) and we're using Backup Exec 11d build 7170 x64 (latest version) and the driver pack for v7170. Autoloader has the latest firmware (1.80/1.80n) and the drive itself is on the latest firmware (D22W).
SCSI IDs are being picked up OK (ID4 LUN1) and we have a compatible SCSI setup for this autoloader.
When I run a backup job I get a fail with error 'E00084ED - A hardware error occurred' and the tape is marked as 'Not appendable (End marker unreadable)'. An erase of the tape fixes this until the next time I run the job.
None of the help from Symantec fixes anything and I'm stumped with thousands of pounds of kit not working.
Can anyone help? I'd be eternally grateful.

I worked at Risk Management Solutions full-time (more than an year)
Opportunity to mix with some very bright, friendly bunch of people and on the whole this is probably one of the most exciting type of modelling work in insurance.
Salaries are decent but without the banking culture so work/life balance is surprisingly good.
Work not challenging enough and this can be very frustrating, esp when you're expecting to make good use of your advanced degree. This is role-dependent but work needs to be better linked to skills to ensure staff feel challenged.

Detroit Real Estate Draws Interest from Google, JPMorgan
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- In less than a year after it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Detroit is attracting real-estate investors and interest from companies, including Google
(GOOG), JPMorgan Chase
(JPM) and Quicken Loans.
International real-estate investors include Experience International, a London-based property-management company, and Fernando Palazuelo, a Peruvian developer. Chinese investors are coming, too. They have been making bulk purchases of cheap properties, many of which cost $25,000 or less.
"In recent years, Detroit has received a lot of attention internationally due to its affordable real estate opportunities," said Harmel Rayat, president of Telia Jevan Properties, a Vancouver-based private-investment firm, whose High Income Real Estate business encourages investments in rebuilding communities.
"Given an automotive industry that is back on the rise, it's no surprise that Chinese companies are snatching up buildings sight-unseen with the expectation of a massive ROI (return on investment) within 15 years," Rayat added.
Earlier this month, Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan announced the formation of a 17-person committee to advise the city on an "innovation district," an area that is anchored by one or two large institutions and that tries to draw technology-related businesses.
Detroit has been included in Google's Tech Hub Network, a group of seven North American cities that will receive technical and financial support from the Internet giant.
Last month, JPMorgan Chase announced that it will invest $100 million to help strengthen Detroit's redevelopment efforts through grants and low-cost loans over five years. The money will be used to train city residents for new jobs and for blight removal, and to make mortgage loans more accessible to home buyers.
Quicken Loans, one of the country's largest online retail mortgage lenders, is building a data center and office complex in Detroit's Corktown district. The complex -- dubbed the Quicken Loans Technology Center -- is scheduled to be completed in January."The hope is that property values will regain lost momentum, job growth will return, and the Detroit boomtown of the past will return, as the city is revived. This area still has its problems," Rayat said. "But early investments in a city that is deep in disarray may prove profitable in the long run."

|All About Me
|Chef Greeley was almost Lieutenant Greeley. Born and raised in a military family in Lima, Peru, Vanessaâs father was a General in the army, and her motherâa General in the kitchen. From them, she inherited an unyielding determination to succeed. This drive fueled her in teen sports, from gymnastics and volleyball to basketball and parachuting. Competitive? Just a little. When her passions moved elsewhere, Vanessa followed, relocating to the US to pursue computer studies at Columbia and NYU. Vanessaâs inner resolve received its greatest test when she was diagnosed with cancer. Now cancer free, her illness actually led to her pastry career today. While recovering from her illness, Greeley came across the Food Network Challenge television program. The blend of art, science and competition amazed and inspired her. Chef Greeley was born. Today, a graduate from French Culinary Institute in NY, Vanessaâs work can be seen at some of the most prestigious cake competitions throughout the country. Her accolades include a gold medal at the 2008 American Bakery Expo, Best in Show trophy at the 2009 National Capital Area Cake Show, first place and Divisional medals at the 2009 Great American Cake Show, first place at the 2010 NY Cake Convention Live Challenge, first place at the 2010 Great American Cake Show Live Challenge, second place at the 2010 Connecticut Cake Competition Live Challenge, second place at the 2010 National Capital Area Cake Show. She competed on a live challenge for Wedding Cake Wars on WEtv, she has been a guest chef on Telemundoâs âCooking with Sussoâ television show, guest chef on Univisionâs âHousewives of Connecticutâ television show. Vanessa has also designed and created a chocolate dress for the Chocolate Fashion Show in NY since 2008 along side of Tony award winning costume designers. Vanessa earned second place on the Chocolate Myths episode of FoodNetworkâs Challenge TV show. She also does consulting for Dove Chocolate Discoveries developing recipes for their Entertaining magazine. Her work has also been featured in Baking Buyer magazine, Cake Central magazine, 201 Magazine, The Record newspaper, The Gazette newspaper, FoodNetwork TV, CBS news, NY1, Fox News, CNN, Yahoo news, Reuters and ABC news to name a few. The future? Sheâd like to represent Peru in the World Pastry Championship. One thing is certain. For Chef Greeley, the oven is just warming up. Fun Facts about Chef Greeley â¢Her first chocolate headpiece made for the Chocolate Fashion show in 2008 weighed 20 lbs! â¢Can make a knot out of a cherry stem in her mouth â¢As a teen, her first chicken soufflé featured a surprise ingredientâa metal screw. Oops. â¢At 7 years of age, she was the only girl that qualified to jump out of a building during a mini-parachuting class. None of the boys had the nerve. â¢She has owned at least 12 pair of crutches in her life. You could say that tripping almost became a sport for her.

Bold headlines announce "A vengeful medicine man leads his tribe on the warpath - to destroy Daniel Boone's Evil Eye" and "Bullets cannot harm Boonesborough's merciless attackers and even Daniel Boone's rifle is helpless against them." Wow! Action-packed issues No. 2 (1965-no month listed) and duplicate issues of No. 4 (February 1966). Pin-up pictures on the back covers as well as Keys of Knowledge giving instructions on how to build a log stockade. On the back inside cover is a brief caricature story of Prehistoric Americans, this one featuring Ice-Age Man.
In the 1966 issue the Prehistoric American has two features, Shawnees and the Sauks. One of the duplicate issues is considered in just good condition with foxing on the inside pages. According to comic book condition standards, the others are rated VG. Completely intact. No missing pages. Some wear and discoloration as expected. Original price: 12-cents. Duplicate 1966 issues were published quarterly by K .K Publications (Gold Key). The 1965 issue was also published by K. K. Publications, but no month is listed and no indication of how often it was issued.
