Remarks for Larry Jutte Senior Vice President, Honda of America Mfg., Inc. (Part 2 of 2)
For Honda, it is never enough to have quality as good as others. A case in point came with the release of the most recent IQS numbers. Honda was the number one non-luxury brand. But I can tell you there was not a single headline in America making that announcement. The story everyone wanted to write about were improvements by Hyundai or domestic brands like Cadillac. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining about the news coverage. It just demonstrates clearly that media - like our customers - have higher expectations for Honda when it comes to quality. And we plan to exceed those expectations.
For the past five years, we have been introducing Honda's flexible New Manufacturing System on a global basis, including all of Honda's North American auto plants. This new system reduces tooling costs associated with new model launches. It increases launch speed and initial quality. And makes it quicker and less costly to add models to our plants. Already, we have achieved a great deal of flexibility for car and light truck production at our North American plants.
In May of this year, we began building a new paint facility at the Marysville Auto Plant. This major expansion will introduce waterborne paint systems that are already found at newer Honda facilities. And will go into full operation in mid-2006. Along with other new paint systems developed by Honda, this is expected to reduce emissions by 41 percent and improve energy efficiency by 34 percent. These investments show how continuing to invest in manufacturing quality, efficiency and flexibility enables us to create new value for our customers.
I began today by talking about the importance of values to Honda. But I think a relevant question for all companies is "What are your core values? What makes your company unique or special? And does your self-image match reality?" If not -- to realize improvement -- you shouldn't focus just on trailing indicator metrics. Focus on the characteristics that will lead to success in the future.
A supplier might get our attention with a very competitive price ... but they won't necessarily get our business. We want suppliers with the whole package ... robust quality systems, delivery management and development capabilities ... who work in a respectful manner with their own workforce. When we visit a supplier and talk to their people, we can tell immediately how they do business.
Based on these years of going "to the spot," we identified key characteristics of strong suppliers. We shared this "road map" earlier this year with our own supply base ... and I thought I would share it with you today. I am not going to review every detail. But I will explain several key areas. Similar to Honda's business model, we found that company culture is an extremely important characteristic for successful suppliers. This includes strong leadership - top management that frequently goes "to the spot" to motivate and involve their associates.
The process really begins with a company vision focused on the customer. This has to be central to why you are in business. Based on a customer focus, the best suppliers are willing to take chances - to develop a new part or process ahead of others. In other words, to bring new value to their customers.
With a view toward achieving global competitiveness, is the need for suppliers to create new products that offer exceptional value to their customers ... something we cannot achieve on our own - or obtain from others. Early this year, as part of new model planning, we compared the total unit cost of all commodities and part types in North America to other regions. Analyzing current cost gaps revealed that a large number of suppliers in North America are not globally competitive. We identified production characteristics as one of the primary factors in this cost gap. Achieving global cost competitiveness will require innovation in this area.
Improving production characteristics begins with identifying the benchmark in your business ... then, assessing your relative position to that benchmark in order to determine your plans to exceed it. Suppliers also must innovate production facilities from dedicated lines to flexible lines to match the flexibility achieved by their customer. Look for other ways to reduce capital investment in equipment and tooling. And, compared to global benchmarks, suppliers must look for production efficiency improvements through your entire operations - and reduce waste by optimizing material yield, scrap reduction and inventory control.
After achieving global competitiveness, other essential elements of the road map include the need for advance planning for resource deployment including new model preparation ... the ability to execute to the plan in production ... and customer satisfaction - exceeding the buyer's expectations - is the end goal.
But the real purpose behind the development of this road map, was our interest in looking ahead to the next 25 years of Honda's manufacturing operations in North America. Our goal is to remain a brand of choice ... based on our ability to create new value for our customers. But to achieve that, we must make sure that the companies with whom we have chosen to have relationships - will remain "suppliers of choice" -- so that we can continue to create new value together.
This means suppliers must know the benchmark in their industry - and honestly identify any gaps to that benchmark ... as a means to achieve global competitiveness. Suppliers of choice also listen to their customers - making sure they understand their partner's expectations . . . whether they are currently satisfied ... and where they most need support. These suppliers also listen to their associates ... because empowering people on the shop floor in continuous improvement activities is the key to achieving real and sustained improvement.
Suppliers must provide strong leadership and direction - management must "go to the spot" to monitor performance -- which means into the labs, onto the shop floor, and out to the loading dock. Every "touch point" to the customer must be closely managed. Finally ... underlying all of this ... is our belief that suppliers of choice understand the values that are most important to their business partners. And make certain their own corporate culture is well understood throughout their company and by their partners.
In this way, no matter how challenging the business environment may become ... suppliers and OEMs will have the type of rock-solid relationship that is not only mutually satisfying ... but has the strength to withstand a "perfect storm." Thank you for your attention. I look forward to your questions.

Mon - Sat - 8AM - 6PM PST
I purchased this dive mask with prescription lens for a cruise to some of the Caribbeans best dive spots. I was told that you needed to get a custom fitted mask to have a good fit so I was a little skeptical but the local dive shop wanted more than twice the price to order me one. I was especially concerned because I have a beard and had problems in the past. I took a chance and ordered one and it was the best purchased I made. The prescription lens allowed me to see everything clearly. I ordered it on Saturday afternoon a week before we left so I added the express shipping and it was at my doorstep Monday morning. What incredible service! Thank you Scuba.com!

I purchased one of these for my wife and myself before leaving on a cruise to the Caribbean. They both performed flawlessly even during heavy surf. We have used other snorkels in the past but these were by far the best. While other people in our area were sucking water we were enjoying the views below. These are well worth the money.

Where are the president's priorities?
(Page 2 of 2)
Republican candidate Mitt Romney responded, saying, "This is time for a president who will shape events in the Middle East, not just be merciful or be at the mercy of the events."
Romney is right. The U.S. cannot watch our buildings be attacked and our countrymen murdered. It's time for a strong and direct foreign policy.
Obama's boldest statement came when discussing Iran's nuclear capabilities. He said, "Make no mistake: A nuclear-armed Iran is not a challenge that can be contained. It would threaten the elimination of Israel, the security of the gulf nations and the unraveling of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty."
He went on to say that there is "still time and space" to resolve the issue through diplomacy, but that time is "not limited."
This bold statement appears to be nothing but empty words.
Just days after Obama's "tough talk," Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad countered, claiming that Iran also has long-range drones capable of reaching Israel or other Mideast targets.
Ahmadinejad also warned that if Iran's nuclear facilities were attacked, the nation would plant as many as 5,000 mines in the Strait of Hormuz, at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, and cut off the flow of one-fifth of the world's oil.
These threats sent jitters through the region and caused gas prices to spike.
In his address on Sept. 27, Netanyahu reminded us that Iran was on track to build an atomic bomb by next summer. He urged the global powers, especially the U.S., to set a strict limit on Iran's nuclear fuel production. Crossing this "red line" limit would trigger a military strike.
Some question Ahmadinejad's threats. Do we really want to wait to see if they're real? Obama's foreign policy has been a complete failure, and his "apologetic" policies have sent a message that you can attack our embassies and murder our representatives with impunity.
During this time of turmoil, we can no longer apologize. It is time to stand up with our allies, like Israel, and continue our fight for democracy.

OLYMPIA — Something interesting happened when lawmakers finally scraped together enough money to plug a large budget shortfall and increase funding for education — they also gave businesses millions in tax breaks.
Republican and Democratic lawmakers, as part of the budget deal, approved 16 tax breaks worth roughly $13 million. They would benefit restaurants, mint farms, nonprofit gun clubs, beekeepers, and international investment firms, among others.
In the context of a $33.6 billion, two-year operating budget, this is what government number crunchers often call "budget dust," as in it's almost too small to notice.
But legislators have bogged down over smaller amounts of money, and Democrats this session unsuccessfully pushed to close many tax breaks as a way to raise more money.
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal
- Boeing tankers will be delivered to Air Force late — and incomplete
- Paul Allen ends KEXP's yearslong fundraising drive with $500,000 donation
- A six-pack of observations from Seahawks' OTAs: Justin Britt, Alex Collins, Tharold Simon and more

House Appropriations Chairman Ross Hunter, D-Medina, said he's not a fan of creating tax breaks, including the ones in the new budget.
"I am a fan of coming to closure on the budget and coming to agreement with Republicans who control the Senate," Hunter said.
Specifically, Hunter said, the tax exemptions were needed for Senate Republicans to agree to end a tax break for residential phone service that's expected to net about $85 million over the next two years. Closing the exemption was a key hurdle to reach a broader budget agreement.
Senate Ways and Means Chairman Andy Hill, R-Redmond, agreed it was part of the broader budget deal, but said there was no direct tie to ending the tax break for phone service.
Hill said exemptions are sometimes needed to level the playing field for business or to protect industries and boost growth.
"They are important because there are clearly opportunities where they do create jobs and stimulate economic development," he said.
In addition to ending the tax break for phone service, Democrats also got an agreement to set expiration dates on tax breaks, and to disclose the value of future exemptions, said Rep. Reuven Carlyle, D-Seattle, chairman of the House Finance Committee.
"The only way we were able to get the bill through (the Democratically controlled House) was because of that," Carlyle said.
The House and Senate approved the operating budget on Friday with large majorities and adjourned on Saturday. Gov. Jay Inslee is expected to sign the budget Sunday, in time to avert a government shutdown Monday.
The tax breaks are contained in a separate measure, Senate Bill 5882, which also cleared both chambers with large majorities.
While Republicans may have led the charge for the tax breaks, they note that Democratic lawmakers signed onto most of them and urged their passage as well.
"It's a common addiction," Hunter said when that was pointed out. "I have to tell all my friends, 'You can't have that tax exemption,' just to protect them from themselves."
Senate Democratic Leader Ed Murray, D-Seattle, said tax breaks can serve a useful purpose. He sponsored one dealing with cover charges for dance bands and signed onto others approved Friday, including the break for international investment firms.
The state currently levies a tax on businesses that offer attendees the "opportunity" to dance. Cover charges and tickets for movies, plays and concerts are exempt from that tax.
The dance tax has been applied inconsistently by the state, said Murray, who is running for mayor of Seattle. "The nightlife dance industry is fairly big in my district. They have, first through the mayor, and now through me, tried to get this thing fixed," he said.
Murray said there are "tax loopholes we absolutely need to close, but there are tax incentives that I think are valid. (In the past) we closed the tax loopholes for banks, but we gave one to newspapers and the dairy industry … Not every tax break is necessarily bad."
Newspapers, including The Seattle Times, benefit from a reduction in state business-and-occupation taxes passed in 2009.
Democratic Sen. Mark Mullet, of Issaquah, was the prime sponsor of the break for investment firms that would provide a sales-and-use tax exemption from the sale of financial information. The tax break will mean $683,000 less in tax revenue for the state over the next two years.
Mullet noted that he used to be a managing director at Bank of America, serving as the global head of foreign-currency-options trading.
"I want more financial-service companies to relocate to Washington state. I think we should be able to get a lot of jobs here in that industry. Part of that is showing everybody we are favorable to an industry. We don't think they're evil," he said, adding with chuckle, "I'm not in the majority opinion of the Democratic caucus on that."
Some of the tax breaks approved were just extending exemptions that were due to expire soon, like the one for beekeepers, worth $120,000 over two years.
The bill report for the tax break said the industry is still suffering from a "colony collapse disorder" and that the intent of the Legislature is for the tax break to go away when the bee survivorship improves.
Others, such as one for "items that impart flavor for food during the cooking process" are new.
According to the state Department of Revenue, the restaurant industry wanted to change the law so mesquite and other things they use to flavor foods are considered ingredients that wouldn't be subject to sales tax. The state projects the exemption is worth $78,000 over two years to the industry.
Hill said it's been his experience that some lawmakers critical of tax breaks "are more than happy to trash them until they have a business that's hurting" in their district.

text: By Jan RahnManaging Editor Arrangements are in place for the 66th annual meeting of the Midwest Electric Cooperative Corporation to take place on Thursday, March 14. The evening at Perkins County High School in Grant is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. with registration and meal. Election of directors, entertainment, a cash drawing, gifts and door prizes are all part of this enjoyable evening planned for members and their guests. Three directors will be elected for the Districts of 1, 5 and 9. Incumbents whose terms expire are Ron Ivers, Ron Hagan and Rod Clough, respectively. All three have been nominated for re-election. Other nominees selected by the nominating committee in mid-January include: Dist. 1: Calvin Berry and Denny Ansley of Lemoyne, and John Ervin of Brule join incumbent Ivers. Dist. 5 nominees besides Hagan are Shannon Malmkar and Pat Aerni, both of Madrid. Dist. 9 nominees besides incumbent Clough of Wallace are John Friesen and Brian Banks who are also both from Wallace. Following a meal of hot roast beef sandwiches, baby new potatoes, corn and ice cream cups served by the Youth Development Club, cowboy poet and humorist Chuck Larsen will entertain. Many door prizes will be given away, plus a cash prize of $2,000 will be awarded to a lucky winner. The $2,000 drawing is for members only and the winner must be present to claim the prize. Cowboy Poet Growing up on a farm in South Dakota, Chuck Larsen had ample opportunity to "do it all" when it came to working livestock. Early on, he realized that he leaned toward the horse and cow side of this lifestyle. He and his wife, Linda, now have a little place in the Upper North Platte River Valley near the town of Saratoga, Wyo., where they keep a string of good horses and pack mules. Although Larsen's job at the co-op takes up most of his time, he still finds plenty of opportunities to maintain his cowboy credentials, while lending a hand on valley ranches. In his spare time, he keeps busy riding colts, fixing fence and packing a string of mules into the high country. Every once in a while he might also be caught announcing a local rodeo, doing some team roping or wrangling. Larsen's unique style of writing and performing his poetry will allow the audience to visualize his cowboy experiences as he relates them. He has been writing and performing his poetry since 1990, and has been featured at many cowboy gatherings around the country. His poetry can bring laughter or a sentimental tear. He was selected by the Wyoming Arts Council to be on their artist roster. Available on CD are his recordings, "Blue Cowboy Moon" and "Stock Tank Reflections." He has also written a book, "You're Gonna Get A Kick Outta This."

Irvine, CA (Sports Network) - Chris McNealy tallied 15 points, six rebounds,
and five assists off the bench to help lift the UC Irvine Anteaters to a 68-64
comeback victory over the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors in a Big West Conference
showdown at Bren Events Center.
Will Davis III had 13 points and Daman Starring poured in 12 points for UCI
(8-9, 2-2 Big West), which had lost its previous two games. Alex Young chipped
in 10 points, while Adam Folker ripped down 12 rebounds.
For Hawaii, Vander Joaquim led the way with 15 points, Christian
Standhardinger notched a double-double with 12 points and 13 boards, and
Brandon Spearman netted 12 points. The loss for the Rainbow Warriors snapped a
three-game winning streak.
Neither team shot above 33.3 percent from the floor in the first half, but
Hawaii took a 31-28 advantage into intermission thanks to a perfect 8-of-8
showing from the foul line.
In a back-and-forth second half, Hawaii led 57-56 at the 4:53 mark following a
Isaac Fotu layup, but UCI retook the lead on its next possession after a pair
of McNealy free throws, which sparked an 11-1 run for the Anteaters as they
pulled away down the stretch.
UCI held on to win despite losing the rebounding battle, 46-35, thanks in part
to nine 3-point field goals and a 16-11 advantage in the turnover department.

Why Did We Need A New System?
Sausalito's old parking hardware was beyond its expected lifespan. An un-gated system is more user friendly since payment can be accepted at any pay station and both the hardware and software are more reliable than what we used to have.
How Does The System Work?
Each parking space in the public lots is assigned a space number. A sensor is embedded in each space, sensing when a vehicle pulls into the space. The sensor wirelessly informs the pay station that a vehicle has pulled in, and the software then allows 5 minutes for the customer to pre-pay for parking.
Resident SmartCards are available at the Municipal Lot #1 booth (the lot near the ferry terminal).
How Will The Parking Enforcement Officers Know That I've Paid?
All Officers will be equipped with handheld devices that communicate with the new MSMs through a wireless connection. The equipment communicates in real-time so the officer can be more efficient in their duties. Since the system keeps a detailed record of every parking session, it can alert Officers when someone entered and when they have exceeded their paid time - or failed to pay altogether.
What Are The Hours Of The Lots?
Below are the hours and rates for the lots.
LOT 1: 7am—10pm; $3.00 per hour
LOT 2: 7am—10pm; $3.00 per hour
LOT 3: 8am—10pm; $2.00 per hour
LOT 4: 8am—7pm; $1.00 per hour
Commuters, as well as downtown merchants and their employees, can still park downtown for their reduced rate of $4.00 per day.
You may apply for the new "Commuter SmartCard" at the Parking Booth in Lot #1.
Residents may continue to park for free for up to 3 hours every day between the hours of 7am and 6pm. However, you must use your resident SmartCard.
After 6pm, residents receive unlimited free parking until 7am the following morning. Please use your SmartCard after 6 pm to register your parking session so the system knows that a resident vehicle is parked in the space. You should enter the amount of time you intend to use.
Hang-tags are no longer valid. Please apply for your resident or commuter SmartCard.
TO REGISTER FOR YOUR SAUSALITO RESIDENT "SmartCard"
Come to the Parking Booth in the lot by the ferry landing and bring:
Current ID, and
Your Vehicle Registration, and
Proof of Residency (such as a Current Utility Bill or Property Tax Bill)

I recently installed the Open Source version of the mail server and so far like it a lot. I changed from Exchange 2003.
I tried briefly to install Zimbra Desktop under my Active Directory login on a PC. I saved the login/password and for me that works fine.
I found however that when a different user logs in with their logins and open Zimbra Desktop, they open my inbox.
Is there a way to prevent this behavior? Did I miss something?

7:07 p.m. Caught up w/ a very happy Kevin Martin earlier. Said if he gets his way, it will be tough for anyone but OKC to sign him as FA next summer.
7:09 p.m. Large contingent of OKC fans here tonight. Not San Antonio, Boston or Lakers large, but plenty of blue in crowd.
7:10 p.m. Marcus Morris went 1 of 7 on 3s last night. Rockets absolutely need him or Patterson to hit 3s, get Ibaka out of paint tonight.
7:22 p.m. Marcus Morris clearly following me on Twitter, has 9 in 1st 7 minutes. Harden off to a 1 of 5 start. Rockets up 2. Lin playmaking.
7:24 p.m. After 6 1/2 minutes tonight, Harden is 4 of 21 against former team. Getting much better looks tonight than in OKC.
7:24 p.m. Where is the defense?
7:25 p.m. A dusting of boos for Kevin Martin? Weak.
7:26 p.m. Light boos for Kevin Martin as he checks in with 4:08 left in the first quarter and as he dribbles. What did he ever do to these fans?
7:31 p.m. Westbrook hustled back after hitting the floor. Great sign...Then he lost his man after he caught up to him and gave up a layup.
7:32 p.m. Harden with fouls on consecutive possessions, a reach (he protested) on Westbrook and a charge. Lin back in.
7:33 p.m. Patrick Patterson checked in after missing almost two weeks. Rockets initially thought he'd be out much longer.
7:35 p.m. Russell Westbrook and Jeremy Lin both with five assists in the first quarter.
7:36 p.m. After one, the Thunder leads the Rockets 31-26. Russell Westbrook leads the way with eight points and five assists.

7:46 p.m. Harden would have picked up 3rd foul, but Collison was in restricted area. OKC by 5. Morris keeping Hou in game, is 5 of 6 for 14 in 11 min.
7:46 p.m. @JacobWoodyard He hasn't played well this season, and Jackson has more upside.
7:47 p.m. Marcus Morris looks good. He's 5/6 shooting for 14 first half points. Career-high is 19.
7:48 p.m. James Harden has one guy chanting M-V-P for him as he stands at the foul line.
7:48 p.m. Westbrook is killing.
7:51 p.m. I wouldn't mind seeing K-Mart and Harden get into a one-on-one battle right now. It'd be fun. Don't think either can guard the other.
7:52 p.m. @udvets You have no idea what you're talking about.
7:54 p.m. I'm noticing James Harden griping at his teammates each time they make a mistake more than he ever did before.
7:54 p.m. Rockets within six, had cut lead to 2. KD laying in weeds. He's 1 of 6 for 5 pts w 5:27 left in h. Over/under for KD scoring, how about 26?
7:54 p.m. Marcus Morris with a game-high 16 points in 15 minutes. Outscoring KD by 11. But OKC still leads 48-42.
7:57 p.m. Westbrook flies through Hou defense on consecutive drives. Durant set screens on Lin, Westbrook to rim before help picks him up. Aldrich in.
7:57 p.m. Russell Westbrook and Kevin Martin are carrying the load offensively right now for the Thunder. They've combined for 29 of OKC's 52 points.

7:58 p.m. @leah_bh That's because he's taken a bunch of bad shots.
7:59 p.m. There's the obligatory Cole Aldrich offensive foul.
8:00 p.m. @Dawhitemamba5 Cool. Tell her I said hello.
8:01 p.m. @leah_bh That only happened in blowouts. So you'd better hope not. Lol
8:02 p.m. @D_D_Bass What up. Hope you're enjoying your new gig.
8:03 p.m. At this point, D-League assignment is best way for Royce White to become an NBA player. Can get much more work there.Has worked for others.
8:03 p.m. White has been working at Toyota Center this week. The D-League assignment is part of the plan to get back.
8:04 p.m. Early triple-double alert: Russell Westbrook has 16 points, five assists and four rebounds before halftime.
8:07 p.m. Hasheem Thabeet has at least one heckler in every arena. Must be incredibly hard for him to stay positive through so much overt negativity.
8:07 p.m. KD has joined the party. Has 9 points in 2 minutes. Thunder on 10-0 run, lead by 12 with 1:27 left in half.
8:08 p.m. Meanwhile, Cole Aldrich has three fouls in three minutes. Russell Westbrook just winked at his bench after initiating that last one.
8:10 p.m. Thabo Sefolosha is doing an excellent job guarding James Harden
8:12 p.m. At halftime, the Thunder leads the Rockets 68-50.

8:15 p.m. @tblackmoncsn @D_D_Bass Hello.
8:16 p.m. I'm told the Rockets will be announcing White's D-League assignment soon. It is part of a plan with him to work him back, so he is on board.
8:17 p.m. KD/Russ/KMart combine for 48 points as #Thunder builds 68-50 halftime lead on @HoustonRockets #FoxSportsOKlahoma #ThunderRadioNetwork
8:24 p.m. KD started the half 1/8 shooting, closed 3/3. Helped spark OKC's 16-0 run to end the half.
8:32 p.m. With OKC up 19, crowd nice and quiet so that if the Thunder start talking trash to former teammates they can listen in.
8:34 p.m. If this holds, only question will be who'll get Cole Aldrich's obligatory putback dunk now that he's playing for the other team?
8:34 p.m. Just 2 of the Rockets' past 7 shots hit the rim. The other five were blocked in another 10-0 OKC run. Thunder up 23.
8:40 p.m. The Thunder is on a 32-8 run right now. Two-point lead has ballooned to a 26-point blowout.
8:40 p.m. @discoverymrb That's the last guy's shot I'm going to critique. Know what I mean?
8:42 p.m. @communistjew I'd say so.
8:43 p.m. Flop alert: James Harden. Leg kick.
8:47 p.m. @DenneySports Thunder is singular
8:48 p.m. With Rockets cutting lead to 22, Scott Brooks jumps up to call time out. Taking no chances. Actually, I think he needed to stretch his legs.
8:48 p.m. @LadyHeat1 He's always done that.
8:48 p.m. @michael_whyte I never said he wasn't.
8:50 p.m. When a 6-10 guy steps into a 3 like Kevin Durant just did, what on earth do you do with that?
8:50 p.m. RT @TomKeeganLJW: @RohdeOK, When Jason Sudeikis and gal pal Olivia Wilde intro'd to crowd, Sudeikis feigned reading your Self book.
8:52 p.m. When Durant was 1 of 6 with 5 min left in 1st half, I put over/under in his scoring at 26. He sits with 26; 59.1 left in 3rd, OKC up 24.
8:55 p.m. After three, the Thunder leads the Rockets 96-74. Rockets allowed 98 through three last night at San Antonio. The difference is they had 92.
8:56 p.m. OKC up 96-74 after 3. Douglas provides entirely meaningless highlight at buzzer. Rockets were blown out before hit a wall, but hit it now..
8:56 p.m. Russell Westbrook with 28 points, eight rebounds and eight assists through three quarters. Thunder up 96-74 on Houston.
8:59 p.m. Morris finishes a drive, has his career high with 21. Rockets still collecting turnovers, have 19. Season high 24 was last night.

GARY, Ind. (AP) — Plans are in the works to name a school in Michael Jackson's Indiana hometown for the late pop star.
The Gary Community School Board on Tuesday approved a memorandum of understanding with Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson. The agreement that Katherine Jackson signed last month says the district wants to inspire children to excel in the arts and education.
District superintendent Cheryl Pruitt tells the Post-Tribune she's working with the Jackson family on which school to rename.
Pruitt says the renaming came up in a conversation with Katherine Jackson, who donated $10,000 during the Gary Promise scholarship event hosted by Magic Johnson in April.
The family moved to California after the Jackson 5 struck it big in 1969 when Michael Jackson was 11-years-old.

Thanks for answering Sirnight, really I thank you.
Thanks for answering Sirnight, really I thank you.
Who's activating Crystal Abundance? Regardless, you can't bring back Loki or Odin back during the end phase using their "remove a tuner" effect, because they must be destroyed to activate that, while Crystal Abundance just sends it straight to the graveyard.
When it says that Venominaga's unaffected by monsters/spells/traps, does it mean it's unaffected by yours or your opponents or both?
That would be yours and your opponents. It isn't effected by ones that target or even ones that don't target. So pretty much nothing in the trap/spell section can touch it.
A question of my own...
In a recent online duel, myself using Gravekeepers and my opponent using Karakuri Machina Plants:
I had Gravekeeper's Descendant and Gravekeeper's Spy on the field.
He has a face down and Machina Fortress.
I activate Descendant's ability and tribute Spy, he flips up Book Of Moon and uses it on Descendant.
But I still got my effect and it destroyed Fortress.
I'm not too good with rulings, and trigger effects and ignition effects, etc but why did I still get my effect? Not that I'm complaining, I won :P

A question about Xyz Rulings and Gladiator Beasts...
Gladiator Beast Darius Special Summons a GB from the grave. Then you use Darius and another GB to Xyz Summon, leaving the revived GB on the field. Does the revived GB leave the field or stay?
ok if I have zenmaighty and use his effect osummon rat then sue wind up rat effect to summon wind up rabbit to the field then summon antorh zenmaighty can I use the second zenmaighty effect to summon another rat and repeat?
I have a question. If I'm looking to get back into YGO, where is the best place to learn the new rules and terminology? I haven't played since GX was going on and I quit after that, so I don't know any of the new rules introduced in 5D's.
I know this probably isn't meant to be a card value thread, but it's the only thread I could find that might be able to answer my question, so here 'goes: A little while back (at around the release date for the Pokemon TCG: Next Destinies set) I drew a Kuriboh from an older YuGiOh booster pack (it was either Metal Raiders or Labyrinth of Nightmares, I don't remember exactly). It's in mint condition (as it hasn't been damaged or even played), and I was wondering how much it'd be worth.
Going off of the current price at Trollandtoad.com it says a Metal Raiders printing of Kuriboh is 76 cents. That would be if it is Super Rare which I haven't palyed Yugioh in a while so I don't know if that was the printing. But 76 cents is probably where you can go with it, while checking other prices, prices it ranges from 76 cents to about $6.50.

By original print do you mean Starter Deck Kaiba or the one from Legend of Blue Eyes?
ok then the Number 10 I ned to know if it is the one form the collectors tin or not.
If it is form the tin then your at 99 cents, and if it is from the packs the $2, for any other cards go to Trollandtoad.com

Most Yugioh cards are actually really cheap, notable ones that are kinda expensive are the Egyptian Gods, the original peices of Exodia. and cards that are Limited Edition that weren't reprinted. Also whatever the top deck is in competitive play tends to have insanley expensive cards. Wind-Up when they were the deck to use competitiveley the whole deck costs a pretty penny because of the demand for the cards.

Portland, OR (Sports Network) - Kevin Bailey scored a game-high 18 points,
leading four starters in double figures, as the Portland Pilots held on for a
70-67 win over the San Diego Toreros in a West Coast Conference battle at the
Chiles Center.
Ryan Nicholas and Derrick Rodgers both tallied 15 points for the Pilots
(11-18, 4-10 WCC), followed by Thomas van der Mars with 10 points and a game-
high 10 rebounds as the team won for the second time in the last three
The Toreros (13-15, 6-7) were led by Johnny Dee with 12 points, while Chris
Manresa and Ken Rancifer both dropped in 12 points for a squad that lost for
the third time in as many games.
Portland, which held the visitors to just 37.0 percent shooting from the floor
and 1-of-7 beyond the arc in the first half, closed the period on an 8-0 run
in order to take a 31-27 lead at the break.
In the second half USD remained competitive with a sizzling 60.0 percent
accuracy from the floor, but at the same time the hosts made good on 53.6
percent from the field as well.
Both teams hit jumpers within seconds of each other down the stretch, but
with 6.9 seconds remaining Portland's Bryce Pressley knocked down a pair of
free throws to put the hosts up by four at 68-64.
At the other Dee made good on his third 3-pointer of the night to draw the
visitors to within one, but Nicholas then converted a pair of free throws for
the Pilots with 1.5 seconds left to secure the three-point win.
Portland picked up the victory thanks to a 19-12 scoring advantage at the
charity stripe.

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation New Careers in Nursing Program Awards Rush College of Nursing $120,000 for GEM Scholarships
April 2014
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) in collaboration with the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) created the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation New Careers in Nursing (NCIN), a scholarship program to help alleviate the nursing shortage and increase the diversity of nursing professionals. Through grants to schools of nursing, the program provides scholarships to college graduates without nursing degrees who have been admitted into accelerated baccalaureate and master's nursing programs.
In April 2014, Rush University College of Nursing was awarded a $120,000 grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation toward scholarships for the pre-licensure generalist entry master's (GEM) program. Lisa Rosenberg, PhD, RN is the director for this new grant. For the Spring 2015 (Jan.) term Rush will offer selected newly enrolled qualified GEM students from underrepresented or disadvantaged backgrounds a $10,000 RWJF scholarship. Funds from the College of Nursing and the University Diversity Scholarship Award Program will provide matching grants of $10,000 to an additional number of qualified students in the Summer 2015 (May) and Fall 2015 (Sept.) terms who meet the RWJF criteria and are in financial need. "We believe these scholarships will make a significant impact in reducing student debt, while increasing the opportunity for diverse or disadvantaged students to receive a graduate education in nursing," said Lisa Rosenberg, who also is the associate dean for admissions and recruitment, associate professor in the Department of Community, Systems, and Mental Health Nursing. This is the fifth such grant Rush University College of Nursing has received over the last six years.
Students will be eligible for the Robert Wood Johnson GEM scholarships if they are Black or African-American, Hispanic, Native American Indian/Alaskan, specific Asian populations, male (groups underrepresented in nursing) or from disadvantaged backgrounds. An individual from a disadvantaged background is defined as one who comes from a family with an annual income below a level based on low-income thresholds according to family size published by the U.S. Bureau of the Census, adjusted annually for changes in the consumer price index (CPI), and adjusted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services for use in health professions and nursing programs. Students should contact the
Office of Financial Aid
if they are interested in applying for this award.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation focuses on the pressing health and health care issues facing our country. As the nation's largest philanthropy devoted exclusively to health and health care, the Foundation works with a diverse group of organizations and individuals to identify solutions and achieve comprehensive, measurable and timely change. For 40 years the foundation has brought experience, commitment and a rigorous, balanced approach to the problems that affect the health and health care of those it serves. When it comes to helping Americans lead healthier lives and get the care they need, the foundation expects to make a difference in your lifetime. For more information, visit www.rwjf.org.

With projected savings of around a quarter of a million dollars, Rifle City Council has given the go-ahead to refinancing the 2003 sales tax street improvement bonds.
City voters approved the $4 million bond issue, which has around $1.9 million still owed by the city, Finance Director Charles Kelty told the council at a March 6 workshop.
"With interest rates so low, we think we'll have a net savings to the city of anywhere from $200,000 to $260,000, or about $45,000 a year for the next five years," he said.
The City Council was due to consider the refinancing at its March 20 meeting.
Kelty noted the city had recently paid off the bonds for the justice center and its water debt, so refinancing the street bonds "is another good way to reduce costs."
Christen Villalobos of RBC Capital Markets, the top-ranked underwriter for municipal bonds in Colorado in 2012, proposed the refinancing plan and told council the current interest rates on the bonds were between 3.75 percent to 4.1 percent.
"Right now, you're due to pay these bonds off in 2018," Villalobos said. "If you refinance at today's rates, you'll see some substantial savings."
A conservative estimate shows a possible interest rate of 2 percent on refinanced bonds, Kelty wrote in a memo for the March 20 council meeting.
Villalobos added RBC normally advertises for local investors when a city refinances its debt.
At its March 20 meeting, council considered two engagement letters, one from RBC Capital Markets to provide underwriting services, and Kutak Rock to provide bond counsel services. RBC charges a fee of $12 per $1,000 of re-financed bonds, Kelty wrote in his memo. With the refinanced amount approximately $1.9 million, this fee should not exceed $24,000, he continued.
Kutak Rock will charge a fee ranging from $30,000 to $35,000, Kelty added.
Villalobos said those figures were included in the savings estimate.
"We can't absolutely guarantee you'll see these exact savings, due to market swings," Villalobos continued. "But given the size of this issue, and five or six years is a highly desirable time for investors, we are confident."
Kelty said the city has approximately $300,000 in bond proceeds left to spend on the street projects identified at the time of the original issue.

The Golden Anniversary of the Pontiac GTO - Part 4Written by on February 12, 2014 Contributors: courtesy of GM Media Archives 1967: The Great One Is Here
Check out the rest of The Golden Anniversary of the Pontiac GTO series!
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4
Subsequent to the runaway success of the '66 GTO, Pontiac returned for '67 with a new list of styling, powertrain, chassis, and safety features, which made the GTO an improved vehicle in nearly all respects.
As mentioned last month in this GTO anthology, GM forced Pontiac to drop its extremely popular tiger-themed promotional campaign. In response, Pontiac's ad agency, McManus, John & Adams, scrambled to come up with a new slogan to use in GTO advertising and marketing. In a switching around of the letters G, T, and O, they came up with the expansion "The Great One," and it turned into a slam-dunk slogan for the '67 GTO.
As far as the GTO is concerned, '67 was an iconic model year. It's the car many people recall when they hear conversations about GTOs in general. It seems like many Pontiac hobbyists have a bond to the '67 GTO, whether it was admiring one as a child, riding around in one as a youth, or as an aficionado or collector today.
New Design Details
A major styling refresh helped define the GTO's previous model year, and the styling updates for '67 were mild. The plastic egg-crate grille on the '66 was updated to a bright wire-mesh design, which gave this new GTO an even more aggressive look than the previous year. A thicker, lower body-side molding was added, which incorporated a GTO emblem just behind the front wheel, port and starboard.
The tail was revised with a new taillamp design featuring four thin slots per side, surrounded by a bright strip running from the top of the bumper, up to the corner of the quarter-panel, across the edge of the decklid, and back down.
Pontiac also introduced a new optional steel wheel with a chrome trim ring and center cap, called Rally II. Designed to resemble the popular five-spoke designs of the era like American Racing's Torque Thrust, the Rally II proved to be one of the greatest designs in Pontiac history.
Powertrain Updates
GM management made the decision in 1966 to eliminate multiple carburetion for all its vehicles, excluding Corvette. It seemed the GTO's performance and reputation would suffer. Not a chance! Leave it to Pontiac's talented engineers to take a potentially bad situation and turn it to their advantage. They revamped the GTO's V-8 engine offerings, retained the GTO's performance reputation, and set the stage for more powerful GTO performance in the future.
They started by enlarging Pontiac's fabled 389 to 400 cubic inches by way of a larger bore size (4.12 versus 4.0625). This was not simply a quick overbore. To maintain sufficient wall thickness, the block was recast and received one additional freeze plug per side (three versus two). Like the 389 it replaced, the new 400 came through, only with two-bolt main journals for '67.
New and significantly improved cylinder heads were part of the GTO's new powertrain. Pontiac's engineers revised the intake ports for increased flow, and moved the valve-stem centers out from 1.82 inches to 1.98 inches apart to allow for larger 2.11/1.77-inch valves (versus 1.92/1.66-inch previously). The new heads were assigned casting number 670 and provided 10.75:1 compression.
Flying in the face of GM's Tri-Power ban, Pontiac engineers tried to adhere to the letter of the rule by mounting three two-barrel carbs on a common baseplate, technically making a single six-barrel carburetor. They soon realized they could easily meet the 400's airflow requirements with a single Rochester Quadrajet spread-bore carburetor, and went with the simpler, less expensive, and less controversial choice.
In practical application, the Quadrajet worked much like the Tri-Power, with the small front barrels working like the Tri-Power's center carb for normal operation, while the huge secondaries kicked in when additional airflow was needed. Both systems flowed approximately 700 cfm, but the new dual-plane intake manifold—a knockoff of Pontiac's NASCAR Super Duty single four-barrel intake—was a more efficient design than the Tri-Power unit.
There were four versions of the Pontiac 400 V-8 used in the GTO, each with a California AIR variant:
The base engine used the 067 cam and standard exhaust manifolds. It was rated at 335 hp at 5,000 rpm, with 441 lb-ft of torque at 3,400.
The 400 H.O. engine was the next up the performance ladder. Using the hotter 068 cam and new high-performance exhaust manifolds, this mill was rated at 360 hp at 5,100 rpm, with 438 lb-ft of torque at 3,600.
Even more exciting was the 400 Ram Air. It was the top-performing engine option for '67. It was the successor of the '66 XS engine (see last month's issue). Using the same 301/313-degree duration 744 cam as the XS, the Ram Air 400 used the new H.O. exhaust manifolds and a revised Ram Air pan to accommodate the Quadrajet carb. Later in the season, the Ram Air 400 received casting number 97 heads. These were identical to the 670s except for revised machining to accommodate taller valve-springs and polished valves. Many of the 97 heads were 670s restamped by the factory to reflect the machining differences (see "Red Means Go" in this issue). The Ram Air 400 was rated at the same 360 hp as the 400 H.O. in keeping with GM's 10-pounds-per-horsepower mandate. Actual horsepower was closer to 400.
The '67 GTO could also be ordered with a low-compression, two-barrel 400. Available as a credit option, it was targeted to buyers wanting GTO styling with regular-gas compatibility, and who didn't mind a mandatory automatic transmission. It was, for the most part, a variation of the 400 that was standard on Pontiac's full-size Catalina. The GTO's 400/2bbl was rated at 255 hp at 4,400 rpm, with 397 lb-ft of torque at 2,400. It used a large-chamber version of the small-valve '66 heads to achieve 8.6:1 compression. It also used the 254 cam found in 326 engines and an intake manifold similar to the one used on '66 engines. A total of 2,967 GTOs were equipped with this step-down powerplant.
Speaking of automatic transmissions, the '67 GTO did away with the two-speed Super Turbine 300 of the previous year in favor of the three-speed Turbo 400. For the first time, the GTO had an automatic that was compatible with a high-performance engine.
The Turbo 400 was available with a Hurst Dual-Gate shifter. Ignoring its rather chauvinistic nickname, His &Hers, the shifter could be used in a normal fashion (Her mode) or shifted manually by moving the shifter into the special gate that prevented upshifting into neutral (His mode).
Increased Safety for '67
Stricter federal safety standards came into play for '67. For GTO owners, that meant a new collapsible-design steering column that absorbed energy in a crash, reducing injury to the driver.
The GTO's braking system was also upgraded. Responding to the criticism of inadequate brakes on earlier GTOs, front disc brakes were made optional, increasing stopping power and greatly reducing fade. All '67 Pontiacs received new dual-chamber master cylinders, which effectively separated the front and rear braking systems, and prevented the complete loss of stopping power if a brake line failed.
Great Performance from "The Great One"
Roadtesters back in late 1966 and early 1967 were pleasantly surprised by the performance of the '67 GTO—as much by the new front disc brakes as they were with the acceleration capabilities of the Ram Air 400 engine. Hot Rod magazine tested an automatic Ram Air GTO and ran the quarter-mile in 14.11 seconds at 101.23 mph. Adding a Level 1 Royal Bobcat kit dropped the e.t. to 13.89 at 102.1
Similarly, Car Life magazine recorded a 13.89 e.t. at 102.80 mph with a Ram Air GTO with the Dual Gate–shifted automatic and 4.33 gears, though testers noted the engine was temperamental and ran miserably below 60 mph. They stated that freeway operation with the 4.33 gears was not pleasant, with the engine turning 3,500 rpm at that speed, which produced overheating and boil over. Nevertheless, they loved the car and concluded by saying, "Performance, brakes, and styling continue to set the pace for other manufacturers."
Production Figures
For the GTO's fourth year, sales dropped somewhat but were still very strong. Pontiac built a total of 81,722 GTOs for '67, including 7,029 Sport coupes, 65,176 hardtops, and 9,517 convertibles.

The "Surfrider" GTO was a paint-and-trim show car built for the '67 show season. It featured non-production, flower-print seat inserts and other custom features. Its whereabouts are unknown but with the minor differences from stock, it could conceivably have been sold after its tour of duty had been completed.The GTO sport coupe would account for 7,029 sales for '67. It would not return for '68, though the pillared body style could be had in other Pontiac A-Body models.The famed Pontiac hood tach would make its debut later in the '67 model year as a dealer-installed option, and would prove to be a popular option for performance enthusiasts. This early GM Design photo shows a louvered hood that did not go into production.The new lower-rocker-panel trim was much thicker than in '66 and gave the '67 GTO a top-of-the-line appearance. GTO badges were placed on the bright work just aft of the front wheels.

Gecko Feet are stronger than you and me
1. 14 'Functionally Cured' – speculative optimism beginning to bubble up
Piggy backing on what I wrote about last week this news furthers the development of a "functional cure" for HIV, this time in 14 patients. Doctors and scientists have observed 14 test cases in which patients show no sign of viral activity years after ending their initial run of medications. At this point the science community is responding with their typical constrained optimism and warns that these cases may only represent a small subsection of all infected, 15% or so. Even still, news coming out these last few months shows that the once-thought-unconquerable HIV virus may be on the run, at least in countries wealthy enough to properly cope with it.
2. Gecko Feet are going to replace all of your mounting devices
Researchers at the University of Massachusetts have created a synthetic fabric that uses the concept behind how a gecko's feet work to create one of the strongest adhesives known to man, and it's non-sticky. Known as "Geckskin," the material is capable of holding up to 700 pounds on a flat surface using little more than a section the size of an index card. Functional morphologist (which is the current coolest title ever) Duncan Irschick, who was on the team of scientists that developed "Geckskin," has studied geckos for 20 years and has found that the little creature is equally at home on flat, vertical, slanted and even backward-tilting surfaces. The new material uses the interplay of tendon, bone, and skin patterned after the gecko foot. The real breakthrough is in the process of taking a soft pad and weaving it into a hard fabric which allows the material to be both "drapable" and strong. The final pad is more tendon than tape and shows an immense amount of promise for any number of personal and commercial uses.
3. NASA cuts education programs
You can sequester my Medicare, sequester my Social Security and sequester my military but when you start sequestering my space program you're asking for a fight (Well, debate actually. I don't know if the subject of NASA has ever been grounds for a fist fight). In the first round of MAJOR budget cutbacks one of the least expensive and most amazing organizations that this or any other society has ever been involved in is ending its non-mission-essential education programs. That means that the first blow of budget negotiations is literally going to make an entire generation dumber. NASA's budget comprises less than 1% of the entire national budget. When its funding was slashed even further, the organization cut the one chord they could that wouldn't send someone or something spinning out into space. It is this author's feeling that NASA and space exploration in general is one of the keys to the future of humanity and taking the one organization that pursues this future without care for personal agendas or politics and hide it away from the literal future of humanity (i.e., children) is a Dark Ages-style regression.
4. Flatter, stretchier, more reliable Memory
WHO WANTS TO TALK ABOUT MICROPROCESSORS!?!? Who doesn't, am I right? You want to get somewhere with a lady or gentleman at a bar then just stroll right up, plop down beside them and regale them with the wonderful mystery of graphene-enhanced memory components. That's right, graphene, the thing you probably haven't heard of until today and even then probably are confusing with graphite, is being added to the next generation of microprocessors to give the chips an added boost of durability and electron conduction. Graphene is a single-atom (ONE, ONE FREAKING ATOM) thick sheet of carbon that when combined with more traditional materials can create flash memory that is both super thin, highly efficient and capable of storing multiple bits of information, a practice that is currently used in larger chips. The importance here? Graphene shrinks the overall thickness of the memory chip without sacrificing performance. In fact, in many cases it enhances the performances. Research has shown that its decay is very slow, losing only 30% of its charge over a 10 year period if left inactive. See, you all want to give me your phone numbers right now, don't you?

Ned Yost media session: April 15
Before Friday's matchup against the Seattle Mariners, Royals manager Ned Yost reflected on a number of topics, most notably last night's outstanding pitching performance from left-hander Bruce Chen. Chen tossed 8.0 innings for a rain-shortened complete game and his sixth straight win dating to August 29, 2010. Yost said that Chen is changing speeds and using different arm angles to keep opposing hitters off balance.
The skipper also noted that he will be giving his starting outfielders some rest over the next few games, beginning tonight when Mitch Maier will start in left field, allowing Alex Gordon to have the night off. Yost mentioned that in the American League it is more difficult to work reserves into the game and that the starting outfield of Gordon, Melky Cabrera and Jeff Francoeur has played so well that he has refrained from taking them out of the lineup. Yost's plan is for Francoeur to take tomorrow off and Cabrera will sit on Sunday.
Heading into tonight's contest, the Royals are tied for first place in the AL Central at 8-4 and 4-3 in divisional play. Yost stated that the difference offensively is that KC hitters are going to the plate with a plan in mind and have shown marked improvement over their two-strike approaches last season. The Royals have been solid defensively, especially lately after rough first two games.
Tonight's starter Luke Hochevar won his last time out on Sunday at Detroit and has walked only two hitters in 18.2 innings this season. Yost expressed that he would to see his big right-hander continue to pound the strike zone while keeping the ball down to force ground balls and quick outs.
Tomorrow afternoon (12:10 first pitch), Sean O'Sullivan will make his first start of 2011 and will have Matt Treanor working with him behind the plate. Yost spoke highly of the veteran catcher's ability to provide guidance for young pitchers, including Hochevar and Kyle Davies.

Mr. Yost…
Great job thus far. I am following the season from Afghanistan. I have one last mission and then Im coming home and will watch from MLB TV (Fort Campbell KY).
Best of luck! Pass on to Gordo that I am proud he didn't give up…

64-voice Expandable synthesizer module
A.The Patches, Performances and Rhythm Kits can be changed by sending Control Change and Program Change MIDI messages. The specific messages are: Control Change No.0 (also known as Bank Select MSB), Control Change No.32 (also known as Bank Select LSB) and, finally, the Program Change itself.
MIDI messages are limited to values ranging from 0 to 127 (or 1 to 128 depending on the product or software being used) The XV series products come with more than 128 tones, so using only Program Change messages would limit access to a maximum of 128 tones.
In order to access all of the many hundreds of Patches available in a fully expanded XV product you must use a combination of Bank Select messages and Program Change messages. The first message to be sent is a Group (Bank) message. Each group can contain 128 Patches. This first message consists of Control Change No.0 / Bank Select MSB plus Control Change No.32 / Bank Select LSB. Following this message, an individual Patch is selected by sending a Program Change message. This last message determines the Patch you choose within the specified bank.
Please note that these messages are common to all XV series. This procedure can be applied to both the SR-JV80 series and the SRX series expansion boards.

Trade deficit numbers tell an interesting story
February 11, 2011 - LM Editorial
By now, you have probably seen the most recent batch of numbers from the Commerce Department regarding the trade deficit.
In short, the data pretty much represents an ongoing trend. Commerce said that the international trade deficit increased 5.9 percent in December 2010, to $40.6 billion, up from $38.3 billion in November. And exports grew 1.8 percent, to $163.0 billion, and imports rose 2.6 percent, to $203.5 billion.
These figures match up with what was expected for the most part, too, so there are no huge surprises being thrown at us on this sunny (but chilly) Friday.
A closer look at the numbers tells us a few other interesting things as well. December exports were up $2.8 billion compared to November's $160.1 billion and imports were $5.1 billion ahead of November at $198.5 billion.
As the trade deficit increases, we continue to hear various tidbits of good news about how the economy is coming back and things are shaping up. That is all good and well, and I like to take an optimistic route as much as anyone, but are things truly as they seem in this case?
Some people think so. Look at the comments below from IHS Global Insight U.S. Senior Analyst Gregory Daco when dissecting full-year 2010 data:
"Trade volumes have almost fully recovered from the Great Recession trough, increasing 12% in 2010. The trade deficit rose from $374.8 billion in 2009 to $497.8 billion this year as the U.S. recovery pulled in more imports. Looking forward, strong emerging markets growth and a historically weak dollar should boost U.S. exports and help offset imports growth, thereby keeping a lid on the trade gap. The trade deficit with China fell strongly to $20.7 billion in December (a traditional surplus month) from $25.6 in November. For the whole year the deficit vis-à-vis China stands at $273.1 billion, much higher than the Great Recession trough of $226.9 billion in 2009, but only slightly greater than the 2008 gap of $268.0 billion."
Daco appears to be optimistic in the prospects for a global economic recovery. But on the domestic side, I am still not convinced the tides are fully turning.
Need some proof? Look no further than housing and unemployment figures. Data for both items is still disturbingly low, with no clear cut evidence they will be improving in a hurry.
Despite these drags, we do see improving freight volumes to a certain degree, especially with truck tonnage, rail/intermodal data and port throughput in certain lanes.
Perhaps some of this has to do with us still dealing with the after effects of the recession, and maybe part of it has to do with the fact that us Americans appear to be spending more and saving less, a sharp about face from what was occurring mere months ago.
While things are better than they were a year ago, myriad challenges remain. As I have written in this space before, it does not take much to create a scenario in which current trends can change quickly. As an example of this, check out the price of fuel. It is going up…fast. And should this increase continue, it could very likely be all we are talking about by Memorial Day i.e. a 2008 redux. But we will have to wait and see what happens between now and then.
Most shippers and carriers are feeling relatively good about where things stand at the moment. But it stands to reason this is a guarded approach without a doubt. Until we see the sustained growth truly required to give us the confidence needed to fully buy in to a meaningful economic recovery, we will likely continue to have an "all hands on deck" approach to today's economic realities until then.
