SBA offering loans to drought-impacted businesses
by MBJ Staff
Published: October 26,2011
Tags: banking and finance, Banks, disaster, disaster loans, disaster recovery, drought, financial institutions, heat, loans, natural disaster, severe weather, small businesses, Weather
ACROSS MISSISSIPPI — The U.S. Small Business Administration's economic injury disaster loans are available to small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private non-profit organizations of all sizes located in Mississippi as a result of drought and excessive heat that occurred from Jan. 1 – Aug. 30, 2011.
"When the Secretary of Agriculture issues a disaster declaration to help farmers recover from damages and losses to crops, the Small Business Administration issues a declaration to assist eligible entities affected by the same disaster," said Frank Skaggs, director of SBA's Field Operations Center East in Atlanta.
The SBA's disaster declaration includes the following counties: Adams, Amite, Attala, Benton, Calhoun, Carroll, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Claiborne, Clarke, Clay, Copiah, Covington, Forrest, Franklin, George, Greene, Grenada, Hancock, Harrison, Hinds, Holmes, Humphreys, Issaquena, Jackson, Jasper, Jefferson, Jefferson Davis, Jones, Kemper, Lafayette, Lamar, Lawrence, Leake, Lee, Leflore, Lincoln, Lowndes, Madison, Marion, Marshall, Monroe, Montgomery, Neshoba, Newton, Noxubee, Oktibbeha, Pearl River, Perry, Pike, Pontotoc, Prentiss, Rankin, Scott, Sharkey, Simpson, Smith, Stone, Sunflower, Tallahatchie, Tippah, Union, Walthall, Warren, Washington, Wayne, Wilkinson, Winston and Yazoo.
Under this declaration, the SBA's Economic Injury Disaster Loan program is available to eligible farm-related and non-farm-related entities that suffered financial losses as a direct result of this disaster. With the exception of aquacultural enterprises, agricultural producers, farmers and ranchers are not eligible to apply to SBA, but nurseries are eligible to apply for economic injury disaster loans for losses caused by drought conditions.
The loan amount can be up to $2 million with interest rates of 3 percent for private non-profit organizations of all sizes and 4 percent for small businesses, with terms up to 30 years. The SBA determines eligibility based on the size of the applicant, type of activity and its financial resources. Loan amounts and terms are set by the SBA and are based on each applicant's financial condition. These working capital loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable, and other bills that could have been paid had the disaster not occurred. The loans are not intended to replace lost sales or profits.
For additional information, call the SBA's Customer Service Center at 800-659-2955 (800-877-8339 for the deaf and hard-of-hearing) or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Loan application forms can be downloaded at www.sba.gov. Completed applications should be mailed to: U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155.
Those affected by the disaster may also apply for disaster loans electronically from SBA's website at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela/.
Completed loan applications must be returned to SBA no later than June 14, 2012.

Mediation In Business-Related Human Rights Disputes: Objections, Opportunities And Challenges
Free registration required
Executive Summary
In his 2008 report to the United Nations Human Rights Council, Prof. John Ruggie, the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General (SRSG) for Business and Human Rights, set out a three-part framework to advance a shared understanding of the complex interactions between companies and human rights. The framework, subsequently endorsed by the Human Rights Council, comprises three elements: the state duty to protect human rights from abuse by third parties, including business; the corporate responsibility to respect human rights; and the need for more effective access to remedy.

[1]Chair Micromanufacturing Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Chemnitz University of Technology, Chemnitz, Germany
[2]Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology, Chemnitz, Germany
Jet Electrochemical Machining (Jet-ECM) is an unconventional procedure using localized anodic dissolution for micromachining. An increasing of the electrolyte temperature will lead to an increase of the electrical conductivity of the electrolyte by about 30% and to a reduction of the dynamic viscosity of the electrolyte by about 25 %. Both will improve the process. Therefore a Jet-ECM tool system ...

As the Saying goes – Try, Try, Again. You learn from what you did wrong, make the necessary adjustments and try again. Of course, learning from others mistakes in the first place is even better and a highly recommended approach.
One of the interesting things about consistently reading and hearing content from quality sources is that you start to notice trends. It is amazing how often the same topics arise at the same time in different places. We use this blog as a way to help you stay on top of the major themes in procurement and supply chain management.
As the Saying goes – Try, Try, Again. You learn from what you did wrong, make the necessary adjustments and try again. Of course, learning from others mistakes in the first place is even better and a highly recommended approach.
This is the first in a two-part series. Part 2 will run on Thursday, September 11th.
These days, with tightened budgets and enlarged job expectations, it's important for CPOs, purchasing managers, and buyers to know how to prove their strategic value to the organization. This can be a huge challenge for most people. Knowing how to market yourself is extremely important, particularly if you want to move up in your career. We've all seen less talented people get promoted, simply because they are better at managing their image to supervisors and internal stakeholders.
None of us can read minds. Sometimes we try to based on our knowledge of the situation or the individuals involved. It is obviously much easier if it is clearly communicated on a timely basis but that is not always the case.
From time to time it is important to understand what the executives in your organization and in your industry are thinking. What issues keep them up at night? Some leaders will communicate to their associates on strategies and goals and others do not.
This article, 8 things on the minds of Supply Chain Executives was in the Material Handling and Logistics publication last week. Here are the highlights from the article.
Do any of these items surprise you? Did your team concentrate on any one in particular in 2014?

Warehouse Management: A Complete Guide to Improving Efficiency and Minimizing Costs in the Modern Warehouse, 2nd Edition (Kogan Page, 2014), by warehouse management and logistics specialist Gwynne Richards, is a comprehensive guide to all considerations for managers looking to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their warehouse operations. In fact, that title does not do the book justice, and "Complete" is a term not to be brushed over in this case. A Guide to Modern Warehouse Safety, Automation, Sustainability, Outsourcing, Systems, Picking, Equipment, and Performance Management Strategy is more accurate but not concise or catchy enough.
I can remember as a teenager having a bad attitude about something. It could be homework, a chore of some kind or even a social engagement that I did not want to attend but I had to. I often got the "your attitude will determine the kind of day you have" message. I did not believe them but of course that was very accurate. It was better if I made up my mind for it to be better.
As our summer season is winding down, the weather is cooling off and the school busses are rolling again. New clothes, new supplies and new routines all become part of the process. Even for those without school age children, you can't help but notice this event.
For Procurement, this activity was the focus months ago in order to prepare for the product or service being available at this time. It is second only to the winter holiday volume. According to an article in the Jacksonville Business Journal, the back-to-school market in the US is worth $75 Billion. That is big business by anyone's definition.
The ripple effect of this season goes through marketing too as the advertising agencies and circular print providers are promoting various trends and gadgets for the upcoming year. Restaurants around schools, particularly high schools and colleges are extremely busy and thrive after a quieter summer. The Auburn Journal discusses the excitement and benefits of all the "swarms of teenagers" coming to local establishments for lunch and after school gatherings. I know there is an ice cream shop near our school that is packed with young customers right after school, especially on Fridays.
How does back to school impact your role in procurement? Does your organization benefit from this autumn ritual?

This week's webinar notes are from an August 21st webinar run by CPP Inc, the provider of the Meyers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator Assessment. The webinar was presented by Pamela Valencia, a CPP Solutions Consultant. The event is available on demand on CPPs site.
Being a better negotiator is a topic that you would think had been completely covered by now, but this event offered some new thoughts – even in a compressed 30-minute format. Because CPP is focused on personality, knowing yourself and your fellow negotiators was the core message to this event. Also key was understanding when two dynamics are at play at once so you can divide your reactions to them, and the attitudes they foster.
We have talked about how Supply Chain finance can benefit everyone in the supply chain. In order for processes to be sustainable long term, they need to have solid benefits for those involved. Otherwise, at some point it will break down. However, we are referring to your suppliers and customers, NOT your competitors!
If you are like us, you ask that question frequently. We have just returned from a wonderful trip for summer vacation. We had a glorious time and found it very relaxing. Now that we are home, we are asking that same question even louder! We did not really spend THAT much did we? How could we?
The same holds true in our professional lives. We spend a great deal of time forecasting and budgeting and then trying to understand where all the money is going.
Many organizations use spend analytics to categorize their expenditures and then monitor for compliance. It certainly helps in that regard. The blog pick this week is from Rosslyn Analytics, "Five Things You Didn't Know Your Spend Analytics Could Tell You". The five things you might not be using your spend analysis solution for are:
Have you found spend analytics to be helpful in the ways listed above? Was one area more impactful for your team? Was your 'wallet' looking healthier at the end of the process?

"By 2020, procurement's role will have become even more important for sustaining constant supply, best cost, reduced volatility, faster and improved innovation, and clean corporate-brand image." (p. 179)
Procurement 20/20: Supply Entrepreneurship in a Changing World is a team effort by four members of McKinsey's Global Purchasing and Supply Management Practice: Peter Spiller, Nicolas Reinecke, Drew Ungerman, and Henrique Teixeira. If you were at the Institute for Supply Management's conference in Las Vegas this May, you might have even picked up a copy for free. (Thanks to Cottrill Research's Jeanette Jones for grabbing my copy!)
There is a phrase of "win, win, win" where the buyer, the supplier and the customer all benefit. With Supply Chain Finance, that is just the case.
We have a golf driving range near us that had gone out of business. They have now turned it into a solar farm with acres of solar panels. I am guessing it is more profitable than the driving range business was and certainly is a sustainability initiative.
This week's webinar notes are from a July 31st event hosted by ISM and presented by LexisNexis. The event is available on demand on ISM's site. If you are interested in more on the topic, LexisNexis has made available a white paper and accompanying infographic titled "Leveraging Market Intelligence to Better Manage Supply Chain Risk.
The presenter, Eric Walsworth, LexisNexis' Director of Supply Management, illustrated each of his points about risk management by drawing comparisons to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. I won't embarrass myself by trying to recreate any of that – if you're interested in the soccer angle you'll have to watch the webinar on demand.
Walsworth took a need – risk management - that is overwhelming for many procurement teams and broke it down into very clear phases and efforts. Although each of these elements is important to a supply risk management effort, they must all work together in order to be effective. Additionally, although the following seem to be a linear process, they must all be executed in parallel.
How an organization manages its money is critical. That is nothing new. However, there are trends in procurement influencing how that is done.
"Great procurement professionals are not born, they are bred…"
- Dawn Evans, President and CEO, Sourcing Interests Group, July 2014 'Letter from the President'
I place a great deal of value in the fact that I have been able to work well and productively with all of the professional associations in our space. Each one is a little different and meets a specific need for a particular subset of the procurement professional community. I am not an active member of any professional association – including Sourcing Interests Group (SIG). My comments here have less to do with advocating for them in particular than being concerned about the resources available to the procurement community as a whole. I would have made the same argument on behalf of Spend Matters PRO or Procurement Leaders if they were the subject of some budgetary misclassification.
In Massachusetts there is a small supermarket chain known as Market Basket. They are currently in a dispute over the leadership. The employees are so loyal to the ex-CEO (Arthur T) that they have walked off the job at the warehouse, at the office and at the stores. The customers are also boycotting the stores. Without deliveries, the shelves are empty. This has been going on for several weeks. It is amazing that employees are giving up their livelihood and their paychecks for this executive. Clearly he is adored by the associates.
This week's webinar notes are from a July 25th webinar hosted by the Next Level Purchasing Association and presented by Santosh Nair, GEP's Vice President of Client Services and Innovation. Although the on demand version is only available to NLPA premium members, you can read what they had to say about SMART by GEP in this recent blog post.
Despite the changes being seen in the consumer technology marketplace, enterprise solutions have been slow to take advantage of the growing availability of mobile technology. As demand increases for Smartphone and tablet solution accessibility, enterprise solutions in general, and procurement solutions in specific, will need to change at a rate faster than they have in the past.
The entire professional community, procurement included, is bracing for the impact of the Millennial generation. Managers and executives want to position their company or department as a team that will appeal to the brightest, best upcoming achievers. ISM and ThomasNet recently joined forces specifically for the purpose of gathering nominations for their '30 Under 30' Supply Chain Rising Stars program. Corporate leadership teams are concerned about being flexible enough, mobile enough, and 'sexy' enough to compete for young talent. Professional associations are scrambling to make sure they demonstrate their relevance on an ongoing basis.
When new software is being implemented, so much of the focus is negotiating the price of the software itself. There are many components to an implementation and associated costs. One that is often overlooked is training. How will your organization get trained on this new process and technology? Will you hire someone to train? How much will that cost and how will it be handled ongoing?
This is (probably) the last in what became an impromptu three-part series on The Point about the value of storytelling for procurement. Part 1 considered applications of the idea in general. In part 2, Dr. Tom DePaoli provided a real world example and some further guidance. The post that started it all, on Executive Presence by Chip Scholz, can be found here.

Russian Salad Olivier
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: As usually happens with gourmet recipes which become popularized, those of the salad's ingredients that were rare, expensive, seasonal, or difficult to prepare were gradually replaced with cheaper and more readily available foods, until it evolved into the dish we know today.
There are a few variations of the recipe.
Some are with Bologna instead of chicken, caned sweet peas, and even with green apples, and onion.
My version is what I learned from my Mom and other very good cooks in our family and friends. I - Kukla
Serves 10-12
- • 1lb of roasted chicken breast (on the bone and with the skin on)
- • 1cup fresh sweet peas blenched
- • 3 middle size potatoes
- • 3 middle size carrots diced into small cubes and blanched in lightly salted water
- • 5 hard boiled eggs
- • 5 middle size pickles ( kosher dill pickles in brine without vinegar, that is important)
- • Salt & Ground black pepper
- • 1 cup the best quality or homemade Mayonnaise
- • 1 full teaspoon spicy brown mustard
- • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- All the vegetables, eggs, pickles, and chicken breast should be diced into the same size small cubes about ¼-inch. Potatoes and chicken should be still worm; they will better absorb the Mayonnaise sauce.
- Salt and pepper the chicken breast, put on a baking sheet; pour a little olive oil over the skin, and rub it in. Roast in a preheated 350 degrees oven for about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it rest and cool for 15 minutes, then remove skin and bones. Boil potatoes unpeeled until fork tender.
- Blanch the peas for 2 minutes in chicken broth, then diced carrots for about 8-10 minutes until al dente. Cook and peel the eggs, peel potatoes and I also always peel the pickles and squeeze-out gently the excess brine.
- When all the vegetables and chicken breast are ready and diced, transfer them to a large bowl, season with salt and pepper. Pour 1 tablespoon olive oil to moisten the ingredients, and separate them. Gently mix to combine.
- In a small bowl whisk together Mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice into a smooth sauce. Pour ¾ of the sauce over the salad, carefully mix-in, smooth out the top and spread the rest of the sauce. Garnish with chopped chives, fresh peas, and nicely cutout carrots. Now your Russian Salad Olivier is ready to be served!

Kukla, you peaked my interest. I didn't know that the salad evolved from another earlier version. Would love to learn more about its history. What was it composed of in the old Tsar-ist days?
19 days ago Kukla
Hello Droplet!
I just emailed you an article, which I think will satisfy your interest.
Thanks for your comment. Hope you will try my version of this delicious salad.
19 days ago Droplet
Thank you very much, Kukla! I didn't know the story, but it was interesting to learn. I do plan on making your salad this week, with homemade mustard and homemade mayonnaise :). Your Honey Walnut cake is wonderful!

Homemade made mustard and mayonnaise will be very, very tasty in the salad Droplet! Thank you for admiring the Smetanik!!!

Tony Mistlin is doing his part to help with the City of Ripon's fireworks display.
A public workshop on the proposed changes to the Blossom Express transit service's routes will be held today in Ripon City Hall, 259 N. Wilma Ave.
RIPON – They are fish out of water, forced to find relief at high school swimming pools not their own.
The best appears yet to come for the Mistlin Sports Park based on a recent report.
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
A possible burglary in progress in a neighborhood near Ripon's Weston Elementary School in the southwest section of the city Thursday saw officers quickly alert staff members to move the children to another play area for their safety.
The Blossom Express transit service in Ripon currently operates on a regular Tuesday and Thursday schedule.
It will soon cost residents a little bit more to get their missing cat or dog out of the pound.
A single line of police officers in uniform on bicycles drew the attention of Ripon motorists who reacted with honks and waves as the trio followed their instructor from Southern California down Main Street into the city's central business section.
Ripon Unified is still trying to fill positions.
Two police officers and two firemen downed large pastrami sandwiches in less than two minutes as a small crowd cheered them on to the finish Saturday.
It's all about 50 Faces/50 stories in a four by nine inch, full-color hard bound edition commemorating the 50-year celebration of the Bethany Home Society that will celebrate its half century with a Grand Gala at the Ripon Community Center on Friday, Sept. 13.
There's plenty going on in Ripon in the coming days.
Marlon Gayle has a goal of learning the names of each student at Colony Oak School.
When Bill Draa stepped in and took over the reins at Ripon Unified School District he hit the ground running.
What's the best way to disperse over $6,000?
The Ripon Rotary Club has played an active role in the community.
Even though January was a dry month, the City of Ripon still did its part to conserve water.
During his days as superintendent of the Ripon Unified School District, Leo Zuber recalled catching the Fourth of July fireworks show from the district office.
The weather for the opening day of the 53rd annual Almond Blossom was ideal for this time of the year.
These are exciting times for Ripon Christian High athletics.
The Delta Tule Trekkers will host a noncompetitive 5K and 10K walk during the Ripon Almond Festival this weekend. The walks will take place from 8 a.m. until noon today, Feb. 21, and Sunday, Feb. 22.
Amanda Neeley was crowned Thursday as the 2015 Almond Blossom Queen.
Kevin Tate uses no carnival barkers.
Midway of Sacramento has an opening for the Fourth of July weekend.
Barbara Van Tol has now bowled up to her 100th birthday.
The 53rd Almond Festival is this Friday through Sunday at Mistlin Sports Park in Ripon.
Kaitlyn Batterton was quick on her feet.
The Ripon Video Showcase is coming soon for all to view online.
Shannon Wesley – a Ripon High senior – took first place in the annual Ripon Rotary Speech Contest at Spring Creek Country Club.

red baron peach tree
My red baron peach tree is about 6 years old. Every year I keep thinking the peaches will be bigger (quite small), juicer (none to speak of), and sweeter (rather bitter). I am hoping someone can give me ideas how to make the tree perform better. More water, fertilizer (specifically what kind), etc. The blooms on the tree are spectacular but the fruit is certainly lacking. Any help?
If your peaches are small, it means they are not being thinned enough and that could be the cause of your other problems too. Try one peach per branch this year and see if it makes a difference in taste, because Red Baron is supposed to be top-rated for flavor. Are you sure it's a Red Baron? Their flower color is unique, a magenta-rose color.
Carla in Sac
I bought the tree as a Red Baron and the blooms are reddish/pink and resembles an azalea bush. We live inland in San Diego so it gets lots of heat and full sun. We planted it in new soil that had been amended well. I do thin the fruit on the tree but can take a lot more off. I have been very disappointed with this tree because it came with rave reviews.
That sounds like the real Red Baron!
Whatever you do "more water" is not the answer! Fruit gets sweeter with water stress 4 to 6 weeks before harvest, meaning withholding water until almost drooping. Putting on MORE water will wash out any sweetness. But I think if you thin to one peach per branch or one every 24 inches, it will definitely improve your size and flavor.
Let us know the results this summer!

I disagree. Apple is not 'just' anything; Apple is special.
- African proverb
- African proverb
Jobs' letter doesn't indicate the team being sought by Google, but it would seem to have been important (to both companies). Apple had likely already assembled an iPhone team, and Google wouldn't have decided to buy Android overnight but its interests/intentions might already have been well-known to Apple executives. Most of what the iPhone team was developing could have been still secret, and if any member of that team had moved to Google, even with confidentiality clauses in place, leaking of important information can happen unintentionally.
Sorry to interrupt this Steve Jobs chat, but can someone explain what this sentence in the review means?
"An official number for panel life expectancy is not published, but because it is a professional product, Sharp tells us lifetime is one step below tolerance for a 24/7 duty cycle."
Sounds like hand-waving mumbo jumbo to me. "One step below tolerance" doesn't sound like a good thing. How big a step?
This Sharp monitor achieves 60 Hz display through MST. If OS 10.9.3 will enable running this monitor at 60Hz over DisplayPort on Retina Macbook Pro, does that mean the rMBP will also support daisy chaining DisplayPort 1.2 monitors or using MST hubs such as this one:
Dude, there is no flaming sword of truth or a exorcism of demons. Get a grip man. Apple is a money making machine. You are delusional if you think that you belong to some elect group because you purchased an Apple product. Grow up.
Life is too short to drink bad coffee.
Life is too short to drink bad coffee.
In all fairness, Apple's monitor does not rotate to portrait orientation either. But at least the stand on the Sharp monitor appears to use standard VESA mounting, unlike Apple. If we are going to ding third party monitors, then Apple monitors should also be dinged for the same reasons. If Apple monitors get a free pass, then third party monitors should get the same free pass.
Anandtech's currently recommended system for 4K gaming is 2 Radeon R9 290x in Crossfire. That's more powerful than the new Mac Pro, let alone the iMac. I do think there will be a 4K iMac but gaming will still have to be done at 1080p.
Ok, so let's assume a 4K iMac with 30" display will round up the current line up and there will still be "normal" iMacs in 21" and 27" sizes. That would be an incredibly awesome workhorse for any designers desktop. And given Nvidias current development of power efficient, cool and quiet mid-range graphics, this might allow for decent gaming in 1080p and a 4K experience of OS X. I sure hope something like this will happen and wait it out before switching from mobile to desktop.
I saw one of these monitors yesterday in the Sydney Apple Store. The staff had hooked it up with an HDMI cable instead of DisplayPort so it was only running at 30Hz (not the best way to advertise your products) but still - the screen was massive with a beautiful quality image. I haven't seen OS X in such glory since the days of the 30" Cinema Display (of which I had one).
I remember those days as well. If I remember correctly, the calibration puck (or mouse) was around $2500 alone. We had a $150,000 drum scanner in one location I worked at. The largest drum required 2 people to mount it. I can't even remember who made the thing.

Shop by Pattern : Country
Hadley Country Stoneware Collection
The number one Hadley pattern, Country, was the first artistic design Mary Alice Hadley interpreted in her pottery in the early 1940's. Her cheerful cloud appears in the background of each design. Created initially for dinnerware for the Hadley houseboat on the Ohio River, Mary Alice's friends quickly recognized the charm and whimsy of the country stoneware collection and immediately began requesting pieces for themselves. The Hadley Country Pottery Pattern includes 15 designs and pairs well with the Traditional Hadley Pottery Pattern.
To ensure delivery of your Country pattern pieces in time for Christmas, please place your order no later than Wednesday, December 10. Click here to see our Holiday 2014 FAQs.

This paper proposes a fast and effective method for reconstructing arbitrary defect profiles in steel plates from magnetic flux leakage (MFL) measurements widely used in nondestructive testing (NDT) of oil storage tanks and pipelines. The inverse reconstruction problem is formulated based on a nonlinear forward model using the finite element method (FEM) and is implemented in 2-D. A Gauss-Newton optimization is applied to reconstruct the defect geometry, using efficiently calculated Jacobian information directly derived from the FEM system matrix.

Anthrax can now toast their accomplishments with their own brand of bourbon called 'Indians.'
Anthrax have offered up a new video teasing the fact that they've begun recording their eleventh studio album.
We sat down with three of thrash's biggest heavyweights -- Anthrax's Frank Bello, Megadeth's David Ellefson and former Megadeth guitarist Chris Broderick.
Anthrax raise a glass to the late Dimebag Darrell on the 10th anniversary of his death and confirm they've started their new album.
The nominees for the 57th annual Grammy Awards were announced Friday, with Anthrax, Mastodon, Motorhead, Slipknot and Tenacious D earning metal nods.
In this clip, the Anthrax legend speaks of "always looking forward" to spending time with Dime.

The Age Of The Dollar Is About To End [View article]
A nation has a TRADE DEFICIT when the cost of merchandise imports exceeds the receipts from merchandise exports. The CURRENT ACCOUNT balance encompasses merchandise, service items, commodities, and "current" financial transactions; while the BALANCE OF PAYMENTS includes the entire above plus capital flow items; all transactions involving foreign exchange.
The foreign exchange value of any currency is determined by the supply of and the demand for that particular currency. In international financial analysis supply and demand take on an unique role; for what is demand form our point of view is supply from the standpoint of foreigners – and vice versa. All transactions that require the conversion of foreign currencies into dollars constitute a demand for dollars. These include exports, payments received for services rendered to foreigners, capital flows (interest and dividends collected from foreigners), etc. An increase in the volume of any one of these times will increase the demand for dollars and, ceteris paribus, the foreign exchange value of the dollar. The opposite types of transactions, imports, etc., which involve payments to foreigners, increase the supply of dollars, thus increasing the volume of foreign short-term claims that are held against the U.S. dollar, which in the long-run, reduce the foreign exchange value of the dollar.
When the balance of payments is balanced by foreigners acquiring net holdings of our equities, bonds, and real estate, and capital outflows (interest, dividends, rentals, etc.) exceed inflows, we are either decreasing our net creditor position in the world, or increasing our net debtor position.
Beginning 1985 it has been the latter. The trade deficits, plus the unilateral transfer of funds by the Federal Government to foreigners (i.e., our far flung military bases as well as current & past military engagements), transformed this country from the world's largest creditor to the world's largest debtor – for the first time since 1917. Since 1985 we now have a net debtor position exceeding 8.5 trillion dollars, but the principle villain (since 1973) has been our dependence on foreign oil.
Given the situation of this country in the 19th century, (its people, government and undeveloped resources) that it was advantageous both to lenders and borrowers for the U.S. to run a trade deficit.
It is also economically advantageous for creditor nations, and for the world economy, if creditor nations operate with trade deficits: deficits proportionate to their creditor status. That is, the deficits should be large enough to enable the nations of debtor nations to acquire a sufficient amount of foreign exchange to enable them to serve their international debts.
Since the U.S. is no longer an economically undeveloped nation, but is increasingly an international debtor, what evaluation should be placed on our huge trade and current account deficits? For the very short run these deficits keep prices and interest rates lower than they otherwise would be and they subsidize our standard of living. But the deficits also are inexorable forcing the dollar down in terms of its foreign exchange value—and no consortium of central bankers, treasury secretaries, et al., can stop the process.
With a chronically depreciating dollar foreigners will be much less inclined to invest in the U.S. on a creditorship basis, thus pushing up interest rates. The rising cost and diminishing volume of imports will contribute to an increase in inflation, and the expectation of further inflation will also push up interest rates. This spells stagflation.
Unless we are willing to make those fundamental reforms requisite to successfully competing in international markets, the continued decline of the dollar will finally force a payments balance on us. Under these circumstances, we can expect long term deterioration in the standard of living of the vast majority of the people in this country.
At some point in time our huge current account deficits will generate a flight from the U.S. dollar and, therefore, the Euro-dollar. This will generate hyperinflation in terms of U.S. and Euro-dollars, and an international financial crisis of unprecedented proportions. If history is a guide it is obvious the fundamental reforms requisite to overcome these conditions will not be achieved.Mar 25, 2012. 09:58 AM | 13 Likes |Link to Comment

Bernanke Does Not Understand The Depth Of His Powers [View article]
Good God, not again. The fed cannot control interest rates, even in the short end of the market -- except temporarily. By attempting to slow the rise in the policy rate (the monetary transmission mechanism), the fed will pump an excessive volume of IBDDs into the member banks. This will fuel a multiple expansion in the money supply, increase money flows, & generate higher rates of inflation—& higher interest rates including the FED's policy rate.
But that is not what will "break the buck". It is as Charlie Price comments: "would become currency vigilantes and switch out to Switzerland and the closest substitutes they could find".
But even if a legal structure is put in place we will still need monetary authorities who understand the economics of money creation, the consequences of excessive money creation – & are willing to force on the governments and business communities of their respective countries the discipline of a properly regulated money supply. The latter problem will be with us whether control is vested in the central bankers, or the International Monetary Fund is made a world central bank and control of the E-D is vested in it.
But the alternative is, at some point in time, a flight from the U.S. dollar and, therefore, the Euro-dollar. This will generate hyperinflation in terms of U.S. and Euro-dollars, and an international financial crisis of unprecedented proportions. If history is a guide it is obvious these requisite conditions will not be achieved.Apr 19, 2012. 08:53 AM | 8 Likes |Link to Comment

Hyperinflation Is Imminent - National Inflation Association [View article]
(2) With the constant roll-over of both short & long-term debt, it becomes obvious that the burden of higher interest rates will be compounded. The burden becomes a function of the major portion of the debt, not just the current deficits. The burden, in fact, becomes exponential. In other words, if the trend is not stopped, the debt inevitably has to be repudiated.
(3) There will come a time (unpredictable) when it will be impossible for the government (federal) to collect enough in taxes to pay all of its expenses, including interest on the national debt. The Gov't can of course borrow an indefinite amount through the Fed. (Concealed green backing) given a few changes in existing law. But that would lead to hyper inflation - i.e., a collapse in the credit of the Gov't. So the easy way, is the way the French did it in 1960. Simply say that beginning Jan 1 (or any other date), new dollars will be issued, and that each new dollar is worth 100 old dollars. Then follow that up with a largely state controlled economy.
It seems highly probable that this country will end up being run under a "command economy", moving towards an increasingly totalitarian mold. We when we look back, we will decry our "elastic" legislators, the banking lobbyists, and their constituents.May 1, 2011. 06:22 PM | 8 Likes |Link to Comment

The U.S. is a $7.4 trillion dollar debtor country (since 1985) and compounding.

The U.S. imports approximately $335,992,800,000 of oil per year (@78/barrel) & 12.1 MMbd.
There were 700 foreign military bases, in 130 countries, employing more than 500,000 military personnel (2003 figures).

Moylan better than ever after Tommy John surgery
Sep 29, 2009, 1:26 PM EDT
Last night Peter Moylan set a Braves record by appearing in his 85th game, which is pretty remarkable for a guy who missed nearly all of last season following Tommy John elbow surgery and was no sure thing to be healthy by Opening Day.
In fact, even after making the team out of spring training Moylan struggled in his first two outings, allowing five runs without recording an out. Atlanta stuck with him and since then he's 6-2 with a 2.03 ERA in 71 innings while limiting opponents to a .235 batting average.
Moylan's average fastball is down about two miles per hour compared to his pre-surgery norms, but his slider remains just as sharp and the side-arming right-hander continues to induce a ton of ground balls. He has the third-highest ground-ball rate among all pitchers with 50 or more innings at 62.8 percent and has yet to allow a homer in 300 plate appearances. Toss in 60 strikeouts in 71 innings and he's basically a perfect setup man.
Moylan was ridden extremely hard in 2007, logging 90 innings in 80 appearances, and that workload likely led to his needing to go under the knife. This season's workload isn't quite as heavy, but pitching 85 times in 156 games has still put an awful lot of stress on his surgically repaired elbow. On the other hand he's already 30 years old despite this being just his second full season in the majors, so riding Moylan until the wheels fall off makes some sense.

|ESPN.com: Texas Rangers
|[Print without images]
3. Texas Rangers
Ron Washington has depth and talent to work with, from Josh Hamilton to Nelson Cruz to David Murphy to Leonys Martin. The Rangers do fret over Hamilton's impatience at the plate, his tendency to give away at-bats early in the count, and his nagging injuries -- in spite of his picturesque swing and power, Hamilton finished last season with a .346 on-base percentage.
Cruz's hamstring issues are as inherent on his résumé as his power; he's played a total of 360 games over the last three seasons. Murphy is the tortoise of the group -- over the last four seasons, he's had anywhere from 111 to 122 hits annually. At some point, the Rangers would love for Martin to establish himself in center field, to enable Hamilton to make more starts in left field.

way off topic!!
I had to snap a picture of this house about 3 miles from us. It is hard to believe people can live like this. The house is hard to see. It's in the back on the left. They have bags of garbage lined up on both sides of the driveway. We can't figure out how they get out of their vehicle!! The funny thing is they are real nice people!
LOL yeah, we have some real winners around here too. Just yesterday I passed by this house where you never see ANYONE come out, and their yard is almost never mowed. It had grown to about 3 feet--a real field, until yesterday, when two teenagers were out there trying to weed-whack it. What a sight. The owner of the house must have been the rather large man I saw watching over them. The township must have told them to shape it up LOL
LOL Judy those folks used to live next door to us :)
They were a really nice couple but I always wanted to grab them and the kids and give them a scrub and you couldn't get into the house through the mess. As the lady did anything in the kitchen she would throw the scraps and rubbish onto the floor behind her and then sweep it into the corner every now and then.
I actually used to like going there as it made our house seem so spotlessly clean afterward
They had to move from their other house because the fire company condemned it when they had a chimney fire. They had dirt floors in that house. This one is right next door to the other one and the even funnier thing is this is a step up from the other house!!!
Sue, Ew! I think we have some of that kind two doors down from us---our poor 80-year-old neighbor says the family next to him STINKS, so badly that he can't keep his kitchen window open. I have issues with the way they ignore their dog & keep him chained 365/24/7, but that's a whole 'nother story....oh how I wish we could buy a farm, and have NO neighbors.....
