UBS Investor Watch 3Q 2013
UBS Wealth Management Americas (WMA) today released its fourth UBS Investor Watch revealing wealth is defined as being able to live one's life with no financial constraints, rather than reaching a specific asset level. That said, investors feel that it would take at least $5 million to be considered wealthy.
UBS Investor Watch 3Q 2013
In addition, of those who have adult children, 80% are providing financial support for adult children, grandchildren or aging parents. This support ranges from funding education (42%), sharing their home (18%), helping them borrow (20%) and paying for large purchases (18%).
A cash cushion of more than 20% goes beyond providing cash for emergency needs and seems to give investors permission to invest other assets more aggressively. This level of cash has been consistent for three years, despite significant equity market gains during that time.
" Investors are telling us that wealth isn't just about money. It's about being able to do what you want to do when you want to do it," says Emily Pachuta, Head of Investor Insights, UBS Wealth Management Americas. "If you ask, 'what is wealthy?' we observe that it's about having no financial constraints, holding a lot of cash, taking care of family."UBS Investor Watch is a quarterly publication analyzing the latest in investor sentiment and behavior. Dedicated to generating insights that help UBS Financial Advisors deliver exceptionally for their clients, UBS Investor Watch is the industry's definitive guide to what's on investors' minds right now. www.ubs.com/investorwatch Highlights from the July 2013 Investor Watch include:
- What is wealthy: The survey of high net worth (HNW) and affluent investors found that nearly 70% of investors with more than $1 million in investable assets do not consider themselves wealthy. Investors define wealth as having no financial constraints (50%), as opposed to never having to work again (10%) or being able to afford a luxurious lifestyle (9%). Investors feel that it would take at least $5 million in personal wealth for them to be considered wealthy.
- Providing financial help for adult children and enjoying it: While the ability to afford healthcare and long-term care remains the top personal concern (27%) for investors, their children's and grandchildren's financial situations rank second (20%), trumping the ability to afford retirement (14%) and the potential to outlive one's assets (14%).The survey found that investors most enjoy financially helping their grandchildren (82%), followed by their adult children (76%) and their parents (59%). Two-thirds of investors with adult children ages 18-39 currently financially support their children. Thirty-six percent pay for minor expenses (e.g., clothes, phone bill), 31% fund/help fund their education, 17% pay for larger purchases and 16% provide a home (and this is generally at least in part financial necessity).
- Cash is still king: Investors continue to hold high levels of cash (23%), and with large cash holdings use them as a way to reduce their overall risk level. Investors find it important to have cash because they know they are extremely unlikely to lose it and generally find peace of mind in holding a lot of cash.
- Redefining the "comprehensive financial plan": Investors are more confident when financial plans are dedicated to long-term healthcare expenses and to providing financial support across multiple generations. When a financial plan includes these two elements, confidence skyrockets to 85%, compared to 57% with a more traditional financial plan.
- Investors control risk by bucketing money: Investor Watch found that 80% of investors think about their assets as different buckets, with varying risk/return profiles, based on their expected use (e.g., savings, necessary purchases and recreational spending).
- Feeling on the Fed: Investors see the Fed ending stimulus as positive for the long term. More than half (51%) expect this change to have a negative short-term impact on the economy but will stabilize the economy in the long run. The majority of investors (59%) are not changing their investment strategy as a result of the Fed announcement.
- 67% of investors believe the economy is strengthening and 60% say their long-term economic outlook is bright.
- 56% of investors find the idea of a 5% constant return highly appealing for the next 12 months. A smaller but still significant portion (40%) find this highly appealing for the next 10 years, indicating long-term return expectations remain higher than 5%.
- Long-term care planning; only 33% are highly prepared and 36% are not prepared.

Astronomers reveal 'largest yellow star ever'
Published on Mar 13, 2014 9:05 AM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - Astronomers have spotted the largest yellow star ever observed in our galaxy and 1,300 times larger than the sun.
The yellow hypergiant star HR 5171 A is also in the top-10 of the largest stars known and about one million times brighter than the sun, Mr Olivier Chesneau, whose team made the discovery, said on Wednesday.
Despite its great distance of nearly 12,000 light-years from earth, the object can just about be seen with the naked eye.
"The new observations also showed that this star has a very close binary partner, which was a real surprise," said Mr Chesneau, of the Observatoire de la Cote d'Azur, in Nice, France. "The two stars are so close that they touch and the whole system resembles a gigantic peanut."

Dell agrees to buy cloud computing company Boomi
Dell Inc. said Tuesday it has agreed to buy Boomi, whose software makes it easy for businesses to send data back and forth between Web-based applications and computer programs that run on PCs.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, nor did the company say when it expects to close the deal.
Boomi's software, dubbed Atomsphere, lets businesses swap information back and forth between the programs on their PCs and those running online, without compelling them to buy additional software or hardware, such as servers. The idea is that businesses save money on installation, as well as time and productivity, since employees won't have to manually enter data into websites anymore.
From a technology perspective, businesses have the challenge of trying to use programs that run on their local PCs, as well as services only available online, such as the popular customer relations manager Salesforce.com. Web — or cloud-based — applications give employees more flexibility when working outside of the office, since all they need to access them is a computer with a browser.
Dell Chairman and CEO Michael Dell hinted in public remarks yesterday that Dell was on the verge of buying a company that specialized in cloud computing. Compared with 3PAR Inc., which Dell lost in a bidding war to Hewlett-Packard Co. in September, Boomi, a startup, is a lesser-known choice.
This is Dell's second acquisition this year that will help Dell offer improved cloud services to businesses buying its PCs. It also bought Ocarina Networks, which allows data to be stored online more efficiently, taking up less space.
Dell Inc.'s stock rose 9 cents to $14.50 in afternoon trading.

Good news from the Department Of Ecology: Lab results revealing levels of toxic chemicals in consumer products sold in Washington are now available through an online database. The database includes test results for products such as children's and baby's items, clothing, personal care items, toys, children's upholstered furniture, and electrical and electronic items. Information on more product types, such as office and art supplies, will be added in the future.
Tests show most manufacturers are following laws regulating the use of toxic chemicals.
The Department of Ecology tests products to understand where and why toxic chemicals are used, with the goal of working with businesses and green chemists to find safer alternatives. Ecology also tests products to verify manufacturers are following state laws:

As a follow up to an earlier post, the Spokane City Council voted 5-1 at last night's meeting in favor of Councilwoman Candace Mumm's crosswalk ordinance aimed at making the city safer for pedestrians, bicyclists and others in the most pedestrian heavy parts of town. This is an important step forward for the city and continuation of the hard work on Complete Streets and the Comprehensive Plan.
On Spokane City streets, between 2003 and 2012, 28 pedestrians were killed. Part of this ordinance was born out of the old tenets of our City's engineering bible that required crosswalk planning to identify the number of pedestrian collisions at an intersection over the course of three years before giving consideration. "If five people were hit, they had to build a crosswalk," Mumm told the Spokesman over the weekend. "We need to make decisions based on where people want to walk the most, not where people are hurt."
The new crosswalk ordinance applies to reconstructed, rehabilitated, or resurfaced streets, and other situations where funding can be secured for a marked crosswalk.

What up harvest time? It's getting colder at nights and I know it won't be too long before I have to throw a tarp over some of my tomatoes. If you're feeling overwhelmed, Treehugger has five ways to take advantage of this fruit (even during the coldest days of winter):
1. Slow Roasted Tomato Sauce
Tomato sauce is a no-brainer way to use up tomatoes, and this recipe calls for just a few simple ingredients — 5 pounds of overripe Romas, garlic, salt, basil, thyme, and olive oil — and basic technique: Jerry roasted his quartered tomatoes at 175 degrees overnight.
The National Center for Home Food Preservation details the procedure for preserving tomato sauce, but you can also just pop the sauce in the freezer (try putting it in airtight bags on cookie sheets to freeze it in a flat, space-saving shape).
I am geeking out on this new series from Grist by Eve Andrews. Writing that we are in the midst of a dietary and environmental crisis, she looked for ways to get us out of the mess we find ourselves in. The solution? Andrews challenged herself to find someone in every state who is breaking the status quo when it comes to production, access to, and education about food – but in a way that is characteristic of, or addresses a particular need, in their home state.
Challenge accepted and she did it well. Throughout the process, she noted "the choices that each of these people are making in terms of how to produce food more sustainably. When there are so many problems, how do you pick which one to tackle first?" The article includes an infographic that allows you to click on each state to see answers to the question: How can we build a more sustainable American food system?
The Eighth Annual Dirty Martinis for Clean Water Fundraising Event is on for Friday, September 12th. I think I'm safe in assuming you like your martinis dirty and your water clean so, yes, this event is for you.

We love coffee here at DTE. But for the source, it's incredibly hard work, taking a lot of water to run a successful coffee farm. Watch this clip of an organic farm in Guatemala is using substantially less to grow its crops.
EarthReport says that it used to take the farm three million liters of water to produce an annual harvest. Now, it takes just 225,000 liters to produce 7,000 kilograms of coffee. That's a decrease of about 93 percent!
Bad news for the U.S. coal industry as another proposed coal export terminal was turned down.The Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL) rejected a vital permit for Ambre Energy's proposed Morrow Pacific coal export project along the Columbia River. The historic decision deals a severe blow to the struggling coal industry and marks the first time a Pacific Northwest state agency formally rejects a permit for one of the proposed coal export terminals.
"Northwest communities and leaders agree: coal exports are not in the best interest of the region. Throughout Oregon and the Northwest, thousands of business owners, elected officials, doctors, faith leaders and others have demanded that Governor Kitzhaber and the State of Oregon protect Oregon families and frontline communities from the dangers of coal exports. Today, those calls were answered," said Arlene Burns, city council president of Mosier, Ore.

As container ships get larger and the price of oil trends upward, pressure is growing on carriers and terminals to improve port productivity. The stakes are high — ships must be loaded, unloaded and set out to sea faster — and the dividends are too large to be ignored: Ports gain greater utilization of berths, carriers achieve greater utilization of their fleets, shippers see containers flowing more quickly through terminals, and the port system overall can scale up along with the size of ships, much like airport jetways, tarmacs and terminals must expand to handle large new planes such as the A-380.
Perhaps of most immediate urgency, carriers facing simultaneous pressure on freight rates and increasing fuel costs are looking to build as much time as possible between port calls in order to take maximum advantage of slow-steaming while keeping to their schedules. They know that even as costs are climbing, their vessels' on-time performance is coming under increasing scrutiny from customers watching industry benchmarks from research groups Drewry, SeaIntel and INTTRA.
"Stakeholders must show a great 'spirit of imagination' to adapt themselves to the new era of container transportation in huge quantities," said François Peigné, operations director for CMA CGM.
It's apparent, however, that the industry is struggling to meet the challenge. Carriers complain that berth productivity — a global metric measuring the speed at which ships are loaded and unloaded — has improved only marginally or not at all in years. In short, there's much to be done.
"Over the last five to 10 years, we have seen minimal development in the efficiency of the terminals. Crane productivity has overall remained stagnant," said Tommy Nilsson, head of terminal procurement and strategy at Maersk Line.
APM Terminals, Maersk's terminal-operating sister company, confirmed this last year in a presentation at a Stockholm conference. "Productivity has stagnated," APM said, while illustrating the point with data from 20 of its terminals from 2008-2011 and noting the situation at its terminals is no different from that of the terminal industry overall.
In other words, as ship sizes grow relentlessly larger, terminals' ability to work those ships efficiently is struggling to keep pace. That means ships are in the aggregate remaining in port longer, tying up ports' limited berth capacity; containers and their cargoes are idle for longer; and carriers' fleets sit idle rather than in motion earning revenue. The benefits of the latter point, of course, are debatable in this environment of overcapacity, where slow-steaming has provided carriers with an opportunity to deploy more capacity on existing services.
Still, the need to slow-steam to conserve fuel has infused new urgency for carriers to pursue maximum productivity, where even small improvements can lead to precious additional hours at sea. "Retaining the highest level of punctuality of vessels in ports is our constant objective," Peigné said. "It is beneficial for both the customers of the shipping line and the terminal operator whose resources would not be optimized otherwise."
The mutual benefits of higher productivity to the carrier and the terminal has led to a sense of shared responsibility between the two. Although carriers are terminals' customers, there are a myriad of ways carriers can impact productivity positively or negatively: poor stowage planning, waiting for late containers, missing pre-scheduled berth windows or loading excessive volumes of breakbulk items that take time to stow all reduce berth productivity levels, while avoiding such factors will improve it.
That's why achieving higher productivity is "a shared challenge between carriers and terminal operators as they depend on each other to operate efficiently," said Dennis Lenthe Olesen, head of global operations and business implementation for APM Terminals in The Hague. "Terminal operators need timely and accurate data (load list and stowage) to plan and execute efficiently, and carriers require speedy, consistent and efficient operations (scheduling and vessel calls) to get their vessels in and out on schedule."
Lack of consistency, or variation in operations, "is one of the biggest challenges facing both terminal operators and carriers," he said.
The need to improve productivity is having ripple effects. It's a factor, for example, in longshore disputes in the U.S., New Zealand, Australia and elsewhere, as carriers' insistence on faster working of ships translates into terminals' pressuring longshore workers for greater automation and more flexible work rules. It impacts importers' ability to get access to arriving containers that, in many cases, already are arriving later than in the past because of slow-steaming.
Peigné believes some improvements have been made, saying many terminals where CMA CGM ships call have modernized facilities and equipment resulting in a "20 percent increase in productivity in less than a decade." He noted, however, that much more needs to be achieved. "The multiplication of ULCS vessels (ultra-large container ships, those more than 10,000 20-foot-equivalent container units of nominal capacity) do create serious challenges in many ports," Peigné said.
Achieving higher productivity is a function of carrier and terminal performance. Terminals must invest in new and faster cranes, including ones that can handle more than one container at a time, and must achieve efficient yard operations through state-of-the-art management, equipment and information systems to avoid bottlenecks on the terminal grounds.
Carriers can contribute to superior berth productivity through effective stowage planning and avoiding time-consuming practices such as holding ships for special customers' late containers, loading too many breakbulk items or working ineffectively with local customs and immigration agencies whose needed approvals can play a role in determining when operations can commence and when ships can depart.
As a result, carriers are leaving no stones unturned in identifying opportunities to reduce port stay time. "We are addressing productivity with a 360 degrees mind-set, i.e., challenging both ourselves and the terminals on how to improve efficiency," Nilsson said.
"Productivity has an enormous impact on our network," he added. "There are no quick fixes nor universal solutions to increasing productivity. However, in general, the best-performing terminals are those with clear and simple procedures, as well as mechanisms in place to incentivize labor to operate at maximum efficiency."

Hertha Berlin striker Adrian Ramos says he is excited about joining Bundesliga rivals Borussia Dortmund as a replacement for Robert Lewandowski.
The 28-year-old Colombian has attracted the attention of Dortmund head coach Jurgen Klopp after bagging an impressive 16 goals so far this season.
And, with Lewandowski leaving to join champions Bayern Munich at the end of the season, German media have reported that Ramos will head to the North Rhine outfit in a deal worth £8.2million.
Ramos believes he is now ready to make the step up and is more than capable of filling Lewandowski's boots at Signal Iduna Park.
In an interview with Colombian newspaper El Tiempo, the player said: "I am happy with this great step forward and I hope that things work out.
"There was also interest from other clubs in the Bundesliga, but this was the move I wanted most.
"He (Lewandowski) is a player that has scored many goals, but I will concentrate on doing my job.
"I know that I am going to be compared to him, but the only thing I have to do is to keep my focus and get on with my job."
Meanwhile, the club's sporting director Michael Zorc has told Kicker-Sportmagazin that Dortmund are unsure whether they will offer 31-year-old utility player Oliver Kirch a new deal at the end of the campaign.
"We know Kirch's contract is due to expire at the end of the season, but we have not made our mind up about his future at the club."

At First 5 Placer, we focus on the first 5 years of life.
We fund programs and services to ensure that children are nurtured, healthy, safe, learning, and developmentally reaching their potential. Research proves children who reach their full potential come from families that are strong and connected. Strong families are supported by communities that are caring and responsive.
A child's first teacher.
It is a fact. Raising a child is one of the most important and rewarding things you will ever do, but it can also be extremely challenging. At First 5 Placer, we are committed to partnering with and supporting you because we understand you are your child's first teacher. More
First 5 Placer is an example of government that works Our investments are making a positive impact on Placer County children and their families. First 5 Placer has helped to ensure that children are healthier, better prepared for kindergarten, screened earlier for special needs, and raised in nurturing families. More
Serving children prenatal through age 5 in Placer County First 5 Placer plays a vital role in providing a safety net of services and support for the youngest and most vulnerable members of our community. More
Your Child's First Teacher - YOU!
As parents and caregivers, we are our child's first teacher. Helping our children to have positive learning experiences during their first five years of life increases their chances of success, in and out of school. From birth, children learn from you through simple activities, such as singing, talking, reading, giggling, snuggling, and playing games. Everyday events make a difference: reading a bedtime story each night, singing songs together in the car, sorting laundry, telling stories, or talking about vegetables at the grocery store. Children who are strongly connected to their parents and caregivers are better prepared for school.
Check out this article for stories and tips on the first 5 years of life.
First 5 Sacramento Region-
Reading Segment
From birth to 5 years, your child should reach milestones in how he plays, learns, speaks, acts and moves. Track your child's development and act early if you have a concern. CDC's "Learn the Signs. Act Early." program aims to improve early identification of children with autism and other developmental disabilities so children and families can get the services and support they need.

Manchester United agreed on Tuesday two new sponsorship deals with a prominent Chinese bank and soft-drink manufacturer as the English Premier League club looks to capitalise on their status in Asia.The three-year deals with China Construction Bank and beverage producer Wahaha are a sign of United's mass appeal in a country where they are believed to have 108 million supporters.The club's agreement with CCB will see the advent of an official Manchester United branded credit card, which is set to become a popular feature for the club's fans in China, offering a range of benefits, including various club-related incentives.United commercial director Richard Arnold said the nature of the deal will help to strengthen the club's connection with its Chinese fans, who he describes as 'among the most supportive.'
"Together with our TV and mobile partners, financial services products give us tangible ways of providing real benefits to our fans that enable them to establish a closer relationship with their favorite team"
United commercial director, Richard Arnold
"Together with our TV and mobile partners, financial services products give us tangible ways of providing real benefits to our fans that enable them to establish a closer relationship with their favorite team,'' Arnold said.The club's agreement with Wahaha has seen the company become United's first official soft-drink partner.The firm is regarded as China's largest beverage producer in the past 11 years and Arnold expressed his joy at the deal."We are delighted to be able to work with a company which, like Manchester United, is dedicated to innovation and leadership in its field," Arnold said.United has fostered a strong fan base in China in recent years, visiting the country 11 times to play friendlies since 1975.United, which is owned by the Glazer family, has been rapidly raising cash through global sponsorship deals.United's commercial revenue grew 13.7 percent to a then $188 million in 2011-12, the largest in the Premier League.

Man Uses Lunchbox to Deflect Bullets During Shooting
Wednesday, July 09, 2008
E-Mail Print Share:
NEW HAVEN, Conn. A New Haven man is recovering after being shot during a robbery, but his life may have been saved by his lunchbox.
Carlos Juarez, 32, was waiting for his ride to work Tuesday morning in his driveway before dawn and two robbers accosted him, demanding money, police said.
Juarez refused the demand and the robbers opened fire.
Juarez said he reflexively held up his lunch cooler over his chest to shield himself from the bullets. The cooler was hit twice.
The gunman kept firing and Juarez was hit twice in the side.
Juarez, who was released from the hospital after treatment, said two bullets remain in his side because doctors were not able to remove them because of swelling.

Crispy Potato Cheese Balls Recipe
These balls are made with potatoes and 3 different types of cheese rather than the more commonly used rice. Crispy on the outside, soft and melt-in-your-mouth on the inside and a perfect hot and spicy snack to indulge in, especially if you love cheese. These cheese balls are almost like a kebab as they taste quite complex and rich so you could definitely have these for lunch too.

Not really working at it as hard as I could, was delighted to see 144 again on the scale this morning. Making some raspberry green iced tea with honey and lemon for this week. Water intake is back up where it should be, energy level is starting to come back, and starting to feel like the cold I've been fighting is losing it's lease on me. All tolled, a good week.
Prayers for Mick's health, Fran's date tonight (that she at least finds a new friend if not a new boyfriend, and thankful prayers for my immediate family who has made this week wonderful, may they be blessed with the grace of God, Amen.
In my case, 401K being funded, 5K in the planning stages. I can do this too!
Yes, I posted the date as the title, just to prove I knew what day it is. Fact is, I had to look it up for accuracy.
DH starts Chemo and Radiation on the 13th. Until then, we have both committed to eating healthier and are looking into the Alkaline theory suggested to him by my sister (who works in a cancer hospital) and a friend (who is a nephrologist). More on that later.
The magic bullet is humming with new smoothie recipes, this page needs an overhaul, but my last weekend of sitting on my fat butt is almost over and the race begins Monday morning to begin again becoming the woman I wish to be; healthier, thinner, energetic, and glowing again.
I shall prevail!
Many Blessings to all!
DH recovered nicely from bilateral knee surgery, only to get a diagnosis of esophageal cancer Friday, which was confirmed today with the outcome of the biopsy. All prayers for him appreciated, as this ride is about to get really bumpy.
Life has taken over, and I have ignored my own plan and undone my prior success. It is time to start over. I have less time than ever, and need to really focus on getting back on tracking and getting back here more. I've been a very baaaaadd girl, and it's time I pay my penance for this sin. All prayers and encouragement appreciated. I've missed you all too....and I want to get back here more often. Things should shake loose for me to get back to posting by mid-week. For now, I'll be happy if I can simply track and keep going.
Cheers! and many Blessings!

Restaurateur behind Evanston's Central Street Cafe sees economy turning
BY PAUL DAVIDSON December 17, 2011 4:24PM
Evanston Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl and business owner Mitch Dulin along with Aldermen Jane Grover and Mark Tendam cut the ribbon at Evanston's Central Street Café in August, 2011.
Updated: January 19, 2012 10:57AM
For Mitch Dulin, the time seemed right.
Dulin, a restaurant entrepreneur, opened Central Street Cafe in Evanston in August largely because he wanted to take advantage of low lease rates and sensed the local economy turning up.
"I saw things getting better," Dulin says. "If I were to wait a year, the lease would cost me 20 percent more."
Dulin says he paid cash for the renovation of the space — at a cost of $500,000 to $1 million — and might not have gone ahead with the project if he had needed to get a loan.
The 60-seat restaurant, he says, is full for both lunch and dinner, and he turns away more customers than he serves.
All 14 full-time workers were previously jobless, Dulin says.
Four years after the recession officially began in December 2007, economists, businesses and consumers alike have expressed a growing optimism about the recovery in recent weeks. The more confident, if still tempered, outlook is taking shape as the nation seems to be navigating past some big stumbling blocks — such as high gasoline prices — that have impeded growth most of this year.
Some recent encouraging signs:
† Vehicle sales in November rose 14 percent from a year ago to an annual rate of 13.6 million — their best showing since cash-for-clunker incentives drove purchases in August 2009. Economists cite, in part, the recent easing of auto shipment disruptions that followed the Japanese earthquake early this year, as well as a less diffident consumer.
"We're getting some pent-up demand kicking in where people who have not replaced for a long, long time, particularly if they're still working ... are deciding it's time," says Nigel Gault, chief U.S. economist at IHS Global Insight.
†The unemployment rate last month fell 0.4 points to 8.6 percent, lowest since March 2009. Although the decline was partly due to a 315,000 drop in the labor force as discouraged job seekers simply gave up, employment is up an average 321,000 a month since August, according to the Labor Department's household survey. Most encouraging: Much of the hiring appears to be by small businesses, which typically fuel job growth in a recovery.
†The housing market, though still anemic and weighed down by foreclosures, is showing small signs of life. In October, pending home sales jumped 10.4 percent from September, and permits for new single-family homes were highest since May 2010. Builder sentiment also has edged up the last two months and is at an 18-month high.
A big reason for the fresh optimism is a pickup in small-business hiring.
In November, small-firm owners increased employment slightly for the first time in five months, according to a survey by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB). Small businesses also accounted for more than half of the 206,000 jump in private employment last month reported by payroll processor ADP—the largest gain in almost a year, says economist Diane Swonk of Chicago-based Mesirow Financial.
"Moreover, the initial figures for September and October were revised up, which means that we entered the current quarter on a slightly stronger footing," Swonk wrote on her Mesirow blog.
More than half of those gains were driven by a rise in small business hires, says Swonk, "which is critical, especially if it is a sign of new business births."
Credit conditions for small businesses have gradually improved in recent months, according to the Federal Reserve. Ami Kassar, CEO of MultiFunding, a loan adviser for small businesses, says the number of start-ups that seek his help has more than doubled over last year, but loans are still very difficult to obtain.
Some large companies, meanwhile, are also experiencing steady growth. Cargo volumes for Union Pacific, the No. 1 freight railroad, are up 3 percent this year, and CEO Jim Young expects "more of the same" in 2012. Next year the company plans to exceed 2011's record $3.3 billion in capital spending and double, to 200, the number of locomotives it will buy. Besides girding for growth, the company wants to take advantage of low contractor prices while they last, Young says.
Even so, the recovery remains relatively tepid amid lackluster household income growth and still lacks sufficient momentum to generate enough jobs to significantly lower unemployment next year.
And financial turmoil in Europe could still derail the upswing. Many economists consider a European recession almost certain. That would hobble U.S. exports and cut economic growth slightly, but only a meltdown that paralyzes global credit markets would push the U.S. back into recession.
After expanding at an annual rate of just one percent in the first half of this year, the economy grew 2 percent in the third quarter and is on pace for 3 percent growth in the fourth quarter. Most economists expect uninspiring growth of about 2 percent next year — far short of the three percent-plus needed to make a dent in unemployment.
But Dean Maki, chief U.S. economist of Barclays Capital, expects the economy to grow about 2.75 percent next year. That should be enough, he says, to generate about 215,000 jobs a month in the last six months of 2012 — more than the 150,000 or so that many economists expect — and cut unemployment to 8 percent by year's end.

Deb's StoryI was just playing around with different ways to fix fried green tomatoes to make them less boring (if there is such a thing) and came up with this...my husband loves loves loves these. He says they are the very best he has ever had. I must say they are pretty yummy and quite satisfying. The seasonings mixed with the cheese just adds a special taste that would compliment just about any dinner as a side or as an appetizer. I hope you Enjoy! :-)
2 large
green tomatoes
eggs, whole & beaten
1/4 c
cooking oil/olive oil
1/2-3/4 c
parmesan cheese, grated works best
1 Tbsp
basil, dried or fresh
1/4 tsp
garlic powder
1 dash(es)
sea salt, finely ground
1 pinch
black pepper
Directions Step-By-Step
1In a shallow frying pan heat oil over medium heat until you see tiny bubbles around the bottom of a wooden spoon or a toothpick...this is "Rachael Rays" secret to telling if the oil is hot enough or not. :-) It really works :-)
I normally do this after I get everything else prepared...that way the oil is not getting over heated.
2Slice the green tomatoes into even thin (but not too thin) slices. I slice them to 1/8" thickness.
3in a pie pan mix the parmesan cheese, basil, garlic powder, salt & pepper together.
4In another medium bowl whisk together the eggs until well blended.
5Soak the tomato slices in the egg mixture for at least 2 minutes.
6Dip the egg-soaked tomato slices in the Parmesan cheese mixture, coating both sides.
7Carefully place tomato slices in the heated oil one at a time, leaving enough room in the pan so you can easily but gently flip the slices over slowly...this goes fast after the oil is heated so watch that the tomatoes do not start to burn; if they do, then turn down the heat and/or start with fresh oil. You don't want brown looking tomatoes.
8Cook to the desired doneness and test with a fork. I remove these and place them on a pretty plate after both sides are a golden brown (not dark brown). Enjoy!

Discover Chocolate and Live La Vida Cocoa!
Sooner or later almost every confectioner starts thinking about making caramels. For many, caramels - especially salted caramels - are a cornerstone of their business.
I've seen them made lots of different ways, including on a regular stove top, but one thing I always come back to is that it's important to be able to regulate heat and apply it consistently. My home stove is not very good for this…

With great power, comes great responsibility – the billionaires giving pledge
Robert Francois/AFP/Getty Images
40 billionares have pledged to give at least half their wealth to charity.
Recently, 40 billionaires came out and pledged to give the majority of their wealth to philanthropy. The money is not being funneled to one cause - each billionaire gets to give their money to the cause, or causes, of their choosing. As the Bush tax cuts are set to expire and billionaires are giving away up to 99% of their wealth, many people are wondering if the rich, because they have more, have a greater responsibility to give.

Forklift 1.5: fast, pretty and stable.
Forklift, the split-pane file manager with support for multiple network protocols, is officially at version 1.5 now. We covered the initial release a while back, and we're excited about the progress it's made. With an interface update (Leopard goodness) and some behind-the-scenes tweaks, it's turning into a sweet piece of work.
Forklift has always been of interest to me, with its support for SFTP and Amazon S3, but my previous experiences with Forklift had shown it to display a tendency toward a little sluggishness and the occasional poorly-timed crash. This latest version has not only been stable for me, but has been snappy. And by that I mean speedy to the extreme, especially when dealing with (S)FTP servers and S3. Ten times faster on remote transfers, actually, according to their own benchmarks.
Quick Look and FXP Copy (server-to-server file transfer) round out a great feature set. If you're looking for a Finder add-on/replacement (or a great FTP client), definitely download the trial. At $29.95, it's quite reasonably priced for what it can do. And for current users the upgrade is free and will fix quite a few shortcomings you may have noticed thus far. Version 1.5 is Leopard-only, but 1.2 is still available for our striped friends.
