Winter Wardrobe
Hollywood | With promises to be faithful to C.S. Lewis, and a marketing campaign reminiscent of The Passion, Disney and Walden Media move ahead with plans to bring The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to movie theaters
Listening to him speak, Andrew Adamson sounds a lot like Peter Jackson. And it's not just because the director of Shrek shares the distinctive accent of his fellow New Zealander. Mr. Jackson took on the enormous task of translating J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved Lord of the Rings novels to the screen, and succeeded in large part due to an almost fanatical dedication to his source material. Now, Mr. Adamson has taken on the similarly daunting task of bringing C.S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to theaters.
At the Disney Studio complex in Burbank, Calif., to introduce the film to the "faith community," Mr. Adamson enthusiastically explained that he had read all seven books in the Chronicles of Narnia series in about 10 days when he was 8 years old. And as with Mr. Jackson, this dream project was guided by a strong sense of responsibility to its source. "I want to be very faithful to the book, very true to the book, true to my childhood memories of the book," he said.
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, which opens Dec. 9, is a joint venture between Walden Media and Walt Disney Studios, and is the first in planned adaptations of all seven children's fantasy novels by renowned Christian apologist and literature professor C.S. Lewis.
While the film is not yet complete-most of the principal photography is done, but a mountain of special effects still needs to be developed and inserted-Disney and Walden took the unique step of introducing the film to a segment of their audience most concerned about the integrity of the final product. Over 30 faith-based and educational organizations were present at the preview, organized by Motive Entertainment's Paul Lauer. Disney and Walden "felt it was important to assure you that they intend to get this movie right," explained Mr. Lauer.
Since when does a major Hollywood studio care this much about the response of the Christian community? Well, at the very least, since The Passion of the Christ. Mr. Lauer is no stranger to the marketing strategy that propelled that film to worldwide success, having developed the grassroots campaign that mobilized churches and schools around the country behind The Passion.
Mr. Lauer has similar plans for Wardrobe. The marketing of this film will be the most comprehensive program for faith and family groups that Disney has ever undertaken, Mr. Lauer told WORLD. As with The Passion, that will entail meetings with church and education leaders, public events at churches and schools, advance screenings, corollary educational materials, outreach to youth groups and colleges, and a strong emphasis on internet resources.
Mr. Lauer told the audience in Burbank that all of this was designed to allow faith groups to "use the film for [their] purposes." To "leverage" its impact. Of course, all of this is also designed to sell tickets, something in which Disney and Walden certainly have a stake, with Wardrobe promising to be one of the most expensive films ever produced by either company. (Estimates suggest that the budget will run over $150 million.)
But the strategy makes sense, and films like The Passion and even The Lord of the Rings trilogy proved that it could be effective. The Narnia stories, Mr. Lauer points out, have already been embraced by Christians-it's just the studio's job to convince them that the films do the books justice. Oren Aviv, president of Buena Vista Pictures Marketing and representing Disney at the event, understands what's at stake here: "Our goal is to make sure that we make and market the movie so that it has the same significance that the book has had."
How likely is this? That will depend largely on the smaller half of the film's partnership. While Disney is certainly the highest-profile name attached to Wardrobe, the project is really the baby of the modest and relatively new Walden Media. Walden's focus is on educational, family-oriented films. Past projects have included James Cameron's Ghosts of the Abyss, I Am David, Around the World in 80 Days, and, in its most successful collaboration with Disney, Holes.
It's Walden that purchased the rights to The Chronicles of Narnia from the Lewis estate when previous owner Paramount's options ran out several years ago. How did such a small studio capture a prize of this magnitude? To a great extent, it was through the tenacity of Walden's owner, Denver billionaire Phil Anschutz, owner of a growing empire of entertainment and media properties, including newspapers, sports teams, arenas, and the largest theater chain in the United States.
According to Bob Beltz, Mr. Anschutz's former pastor who now serves as a liaison between Walden and its parent company, Mr. Anschutz conducted the negotiations with the Lewis estate himself, securing the rights to all seven books and the apparent enthusiasm of Lewis's family.
The years at Paramount produced several "bizarre" plans for adaptations, according to Mr. Beltz. "God was protecting [the books]," he says. Now the approach is different: In a sentiment echoed repeatedly throughout the Burbank event, Mr. Beltz said that there was a "tremendous commitment to keep the film faithful. . . . We view it as a sacred trust." Regarding the pivotal (and explicitly Christian in its imagery) scene in the book at the stone table, Mr. Beltz assured the audience that the scene was rendered "with exact faithfulness . . . what C.S. Lewis wrote appears on the screen."
Although the estate does not have approval over the final cut, they did approve the script. Douglas Gresham, C.S. Lewis's stepson, is in regular contact with the production, reviewing everything from casting decisions to costumes and special effects. "I haven't changed anything [significant] in the book," said Mr. Adamson, "certainly nothing without the consent of the estate."

Sam Lacy: He Made a DifferencePart IV
I have some fond memories of my childhood. Pop's attitude towards me made me realize that he was not just my father, but my friend. We shared many adventures together.
Segregation in America was in full swing and athletes were no exception to the rule. For this reason quite a few ballplayers visiting Washington stayed at our house. Those who didn't stay would always drop in for a visit and a home-cooked meal. On reflection, I guess to them I was just another pain-in-the-butt kid. But, they gave me a lot of attention and I was always sorry to see them leave.
Pop's credentials gave us access to ball parks and I was able to see the Negro Leagues in full swing. For some reason during this period in my life, I had a bit of trouble with socks. There is a picture of me with Pop sitting on the wall at Griffith Stadium. The most noticeable feature of my attire was my socks drooping down around my ankles. Pop was fond of telling the story of me getting off of the plane in Greensboro, N.C. The fact that I had made the trip alone was just an afterthought, because the first words of my greeting were, "I got dressed all by myself." Pop said this was obvious since I was wearing one blue sock and one brown sock.
When people would spin yarns about the Negro players, I could put a face to the names. "Smokey" Joe Williams could throw a baseball it so fast that blind men would come to the park just to listen to him pitch. "Cool Papa" Bell was so fast that he could walk into his hotel room, hit the light switch and be in the bed before the room got dark. Josh Gibson, noted for hitting line drives out of the park, was said to be able to hit a baseball so hard and far, that women could hang laundry on the vapor trail.
During this period Pop was connected to the local semi-pro basketball team. On one occasion, they announced that they would have a Father/Son game during half time. I had spent many an hour shooting hoops into a wicker basket attached to the garage, so I thought this was just my meat. I wasn't tall enough to reach the tap at the sink to draw a glass of water, so looking around at these guys (all seemingly nine feet tall), I thought, "This ain't going to work."
I was instructed to have a seat, which I did so gladly. I later learned that two of the participants, Tarzan Cooper and Pop Gates were members of the Globetrotters.
During this period in my life, the thing I enjoyed most was going to spring training with the baseball teams. Since Jackie Robinson was firmly entrenched as a premier player in Major League Baseball, it was Pop's job to cover his exploits. It was as if someone said, "You put him there, now go watch his back."
The trips to Florida where the Dodgers trained were special. I was 10 years old and able to travel on the overnight train all by myself. Tell me that ain't full grown.
While with the Dodgers, pitcher Dan Bankhead took a liking to me. During off-time, he would come and get me and we would go forth on some kind of adventure.
One day when we passed this store, and in the window was this whole chicken cooking on a spit. Neither of us had seen anything like that except in the movies.
Dan went into the store and bought a chicken, and there we were, walking down the street pulling pieces off this chicken and eating just like Robin Hood and his merry men.

text: Home Culture Producer on Bittersweet Journey of 'Sparkle' Whitney's longtime friend Debra Martin Chase says the remake is a perfect cap to the singer's legacy. By: Brett Johnson Posted: Aug. 18 2012 12:45 AM 0 Debra Martin Chase and Whitney Houston (Randee St. Nicholas) (The Root) -- Veteran Hollywood producer Debra Martin Chase played a huge part in getting the 2012 version of Sparkle into theaters this week. But she's quick to give credit to her homegirl and producing partner Whitney Houston for coming up with the idea for a remake in the first place. "She called me up one day: 'Girl, what do you think about remaking Sparkle? And I said, 'You know, it's one of my favorite movies -- that's a great idea,' " said Chase, recalling a decade-old phone conversation. After that initial call, however, the project stalled for various reasons -- the most notable one being the untimely death of Aaliyah. The R&B ingenue was tapped to play the title character before her death in a plane crash in the Bahamas in 2001. It wasn't until three years ago that Sony execs finally agreed that a Houston-led update of the 1976 film could work. Now, in its opening weekend, the film emerges as a reminder of the comeback that could have been if Houston were still alive. In addition, it's an uplifting vehicle for this generation's rising stars, such as Jordin Sparks, Carmen Ejogo and Derek Luke. The Root recently caught up with Chase, who called from Los Angeles and chatted with us about her late friend and how she hopes the new Sparkle will resonate with today's audiences. The Root: As a huge fan of Whitney Houston, I found it hard to watch the movie. I can only imagine how tough it is for you to see her on the screen. How do you feel about the movie now? Debra Martin Chase: This has obviously been a really unbelievable journey. Never in a million years did I believe things would be the way they are right now. She didn't see the movie. I saw the movie for the first time a few days before she passed. For a long time [after that], it was ... can I get through the movie without collapsing? But, you know, I've turned the corner, and I've realized that this movie is a celebration of her. This movie started with the two of us 12 years ago with a vision and a dream to make it come true. Her performance is the best of her career. We talked about that while we were making the movie, and she felt and knew that. This will be the final piece of her legacy. People will see her beautiful and passionate and happy. She is an incredible woman, she's had an incredible career ... some of the glory has been forgotten over the past couple of years. This is a chance for the world to remember who she was. TR: What kind of film makes a good remake candidate? DMC: A couple things: One, you're looking for a timeless, universal story. Then you're looking for a movie that's utterly beloved. Sparkle was huge -- is huge -- in the African-American community. Some of the directors and executives at the studio never understood the value of the title. When you're approaching a remake -- I've done several: Preacher's Wife, Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella -- you're looking to preserve the elements that are beloved and preserve the essence of the movie, but you also want to tailor it for modern sensibilities. In this case, we all wanted to empower the women more than they had been in the original because that's where we are as women today. Effie in the original movie was very passive. She was a servant for the white folks and just sort of stood by as her daughters were off on this journey. We obviously made Whitney's character, Emma, much more textured. We gave her a backstory with her own failed musical ambitions. We made her much more of an obstacle to Sparkle realizing her dreams. TR: You've been linked with another music-movie remake, Dirty Dancing. Would you say Hollywood studios are more open to green-lighting musicals these days? DMC: We're supposed to be shooting Dirty Dancing now, and we ran into some pushback. When a musical's right, there's nothing better. Because you've got so many layers -- you've got a great story, you've got the music that just takes you on a whole, other journey. Right now dance is bigger than ever. On television, with Dancing With the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance, people are really interested in it. People have shown that there's an appetite -- you know, Chicago, Hairspray ... they've been big movies. Still, it's finding the right property, finding the right titles, finding the right music ... they're really fun to make. TR: There are also news reports that you've landed a TV production deal with ABC Studios. What kinds of programming do you hope to bring to network television? DMC: Well, literally, we just closed the deal [with ABC Studios]. And in today's marketplace, some of the best drama is on television. Some of the best actors, some of the best stories, best character-driven material, is on TV. I still have my feature deal at Disney. I've been at Disney for some 16 years now. I have a long history with ABC, going back to Cinderella. I feel like that ABC brand is really my brand: character-driven, female-driven, sexy, fun. Brett Johnson is The Root's associate editor.

1955 Chevy Sedan - Gold StandardWritten by Drew Hardin on April 14, 2014 Contributors: Wes Allison, Petersen Archive In many ways, our relationships with cars are like our relationships with people.
Brothers. In many ways, our relationships with cars are like our relationships with people. Some cars—like some people—pass through your life leaving little trace of ever being there. On the other hand, if you're lucky, you'll form a relationship that lasts a lifetime.
And then there are the cars that make an impact, go away, and then come back again, as if they were destined to come full circle and enrich our lives a second time around. Such is the case with Dennis Jones and this 1955 Chevy.
Flash back to 1961. Bob Jones, Dennis' brother, bought the Chevy as a stocker and immediately went racing. Quarter-mile, half-mile, dry lakes, the works. Not long after the purchase, the original 265-inch small-block was swapped for a 368-inch mill, and Bob painted his shoebox Chevy red in 1962.
In 1963, Bob started racing the car with his high school buddy, "Big" Stan Johnson. At Lions that year, Stan lunched the 368 motor, but a 327 Corvette short-block Stan had in his garage got them running again. They swapped the heads and injection from the 368 onto the Vette mill and hit the track. Not long after, Bob asked Dennis to letter the car.
Dennis, you see, was going to school to be a commercial artist. He started lettering race cars while still in high school, doing his first Bonneville car and Dr. Nathan Ostich's Flying Caduceus jet car in 1959. By 1963 he had enrolled in a sign-painting course at a trade-tech college, and in September of that year Dennis cemented Bob and Stan's partnership in gold leaf on the Chevy's front fenders.
The gold leaf he put on the Chevy was only his second go-around at applying the precious metal to a car. His first was done a few months before, on a 1962 Corvette-bodied land-speed racer he ran at Bonneville with Jack Lufkin. Dennis knew Jack because his brother Bob, Stan, and Jack all worked at Ak Miller's garage in Pico Rivera, California, and Dennis liked to hang out at the garage.
The distinctive 5s on the door were patterned after the numbers on a $5 bill. Early on, the rear fenders were lettered with the name of a parts store where Bob worked after he left Miller's garage; later, the lettering changed when Doug's Headers supplied them with exhaust parts.
Bob, Stan, and the Chevy were a successful team. "They ran at literally every Southern California dragstrip, from Inyokern to Carlsbad," Dennis said. They earned a strong win percentage and even set some track records in C/Gas, including a record of 116.38 mph at the 1964 Winternationals.
The team, though, was short-lived. Bob was drafted into the Army in 1964, and he sold the 1955 to Stan. Dennis' artistic talents were needed again when he took his brother's name off the front fenders and replaced it with "Big Stan Johnson."
Stan would race the 1955 well into the 1970s. The bright-red car with the distinctive gold lettering was highly visible and very photogenic, appearing on several magazine covers, including the Jan. 1977 issue of HOT ROD. Yet despite the exposure, Stan remained "very secretive" about how he set up the car, Dennis said.
Yet Dennis has figured out that Stan did some experimenting with gear ratios to take advantage of the engine's high-winding nature. "The telltale on the tach read 9,000 rpm," he told us, "and while earlier it had 4.56s or 4.88s, he was running 6.14 gears. He'd leave the line at 8,600 rpm and go through the lights at 8,900 to 9,000."
The last time Stan ran the car was at Orange County in mid 1977. By then the SBC had grown to 331 ci and was topped by two four-barrels. The Chev weighed in at 3,600 pounds, and at that last event it logged its best e.t. and speed: 10.89 at 126 mph.
"Stan parked it, pulled all the mechanicals out of it, and the car sat for 35 years," Dennis said. "He always thought he would build something out of it, but he never did."
Dennis bought the car from Stan in June 2012, using funds that helped close the karmic circle with this car. Let us explain: Back in 1963, when Dennis was learning how to apply gold leaf, one of his instructors advised him to save the leftover scraps of gold in a box. "It's real 23 karat gold," the teacher said, "you should keep it." So Dennis did, taking his small box to each gold-leaf lettering job and carefully collecting the scraps. After nearly 50 years of accumulating bits and pieces of gold leaf, he finally turned in his treasure—which included gold leaf from when he lettered the 1955 Chevy 50 years before—and came away from the assayer's shop with enough money to "help pay for the majority of this car," he said.
What he got was a 1955 Chevy with 40,000 hard-fought miles on it. The red enamel paint that had been laid down in 1962 was still intact and shiny, as was his original gold-leaf lettering. The engine and most of the running gear were gone, but Bob's Hurst shifter was still in it, as was the 1957 Pontiac rearend. The 1960s interior, too, was still there.
Since buying the Chevy, Dennis has put another small-block in it, a streetable 355 with Hilborn fuel injection like his brother ran. It may a mild 10.5-compression motor, but it sure barks through the open headers. Backing the SBC is a Schiefer heavy-duty clutch, Ansen scatter shield and Muncie close-ratio four-speed.
Other than the drivetrain, though, the car is just as it was raced back in its heyday. Well, except for one other detail. On the front fenders, in gold leaf that almost (but not quite) matches the 50-year-old lettering elsewhere on the car, is script that reads "Jones & Johnson," yet again. Dennis is excited about taking the car to visit his brother in Nevada, so the two of them can enjoy driving it, just like back in the days when they hung out at Ak Miller's.

Though much of the running gear was gone when Dennis bought the car, the '57 Pontiac rearend was still there. Pumpkin has 6.14s in it; Big Stan did a lot of experimenting with gear ratios when he ran the car, Dennis said.Dennis has no plans to race the Chevy again, so he put a streetable mill in the car when he bought it. The mid-'70s 355 is bored 0.020 over, fitted with 202 heads with big valves, and uses mechanical Hilborn injection, as his brother did back in the day. Doug's headers are back on the car, too.We were surprised to learn that the rollbar was mandated not by the NHRA but by the SCTA. Bob would hit 135–140 mph when he ran the car on the dry lakes.Other than the rearend, the only other part of the driveline left intact when Dennis bought the car was the Hurst shifter. It now controls a Muncie close-ratio four-speed.Front runners are Dunlops wrapped around vintage Torq-Thrusts. "I still have the Firestone 500s we ran in front, but they won't hold air," said Dennis. Here you can also see how he kicked up the end of the headers "so the exhaust doesn't blow down on the ground."Look closely and you'll see 40,051 miles on the clock, turned literally a quarter-mile at a time. Note the orientation of the tach. Dennis said the small-block would be spinning between 8,900 and 9,000 rpm when going through the lights.This photo, taken at Ak Miller's garage in 1968, shows off the small-block and those mighty Hilborn injector stacks. When Stan finally parked the car in 1977, he had swapped the injection for carburetors. Little else, though, is known about the setup.

This is a great product and it keeps the octopus in place especially here in Hawaii because of our beautiful sandy beaches with sandy bottoms. Ive used the product on the Mainland but really appreciate it here in Hawaii. My only concern is that for an item so small you really dont need to ship it two-day air. Contrary to what Mainlanders think about being on the other side of the ocean, we do get mail in a timely manner and you dont have to spend a fortune. But I still appreciate your website and customer service. Aloha and Mahalo Nui Loa

Once home to a plethora of all types of immigrants, East Harlem actually used to have so many immigrants from Italy that one area was called Italian Harlem.
Now, East Harlem is home to the biggest concentrated Latino demographic in New York City, largely due to the influx of Puerto Rican immigrants post WWII. It's no wonder that the alternate names for East Harlem are Spanish Harlem and El Barrio.learn more about this neighborhood

A Kroehler Science Center lab that has been home to dozens of student and faculty research projects now boasts a renovated interior that's more conducive to collaboration and long-term projects. The lab was completely gutted to redesign the space and accommodate new flooring, updated furnishings and improved storage and shelving.
"It's much easier to collaborate with people from different labs and overall, everything is much more organized," says Scott Blaszak '14, a biology major. "The redesigned space is better situated for conducting research."

Many Asian women have been told time and time again that they look much younger than their actual age. After all, there are now grandmothers who look as young as their daughters. While we generally get irritated about this youthful look in our twenties, we're constantly reminded that this will be a blessing for us when we get older. "When you're in your forties, you'll be thankful," strangers preach. As it turns out, some of us may be thanking our genetics even beyond our forties.
Chinese actress Liu Xiaoqing is testing the limits of her youthful face. Taking Asian youth to a new extreme, the 59-year-old actress is playing a 16-year-old girl.
Xiaoqing has had quite a number achievements under her belt. Before turning 30, Xiaoqing acted in a number of films including her breakthrough role in The Burning of the Imperial Palace (1983) which earned her a number of awards at the Chinese film festivals. In fact, with three Best Actress awards and one Best Supporting Role award, she holds a record for having won the most number of awards in the actress categories of the Hundred Flowers Awards.
Additionally, Xiaoqing is a business woman and a published author. In 1999, she appeared on Forbes' list of the 50 richest Chinese businessmen and businesswomen.
Now Xiaoqing will focus on a new impressive achievement by playing a character who is more than four decades younger than her actual age. The drama, Lotus Lantern, has already stirred up quite a bit of controversy.
DramaFever claims, "Some Chinese netizens are sneering at her for acting with 'a face full of Botox.' Liu, however, feels that a woman should never give up on feeling beautiful at any age. The director of her new drama, Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties, also praises her as one of the best actors in China and says that young age does not equate to excellence in acting."
Tell us what you think.

Buy Buildable Farm Trucks - Farm Truck Fever IIIWritten by on February 1, 2009 Gene Winfield's Private Stash
There's no doubt about it when it comes to customizing a classic truck one of the most enjoyable experiences can be tracking down a suitable starting point. If you have the ability to recognize a diamond in the rough it will help make the search that much easier. In past issues our Farm Truck Fever series has run the gamut from showing abandoned farm trucks in fields to revealing private stashes amassed by collectors with a concern to preserve the supply of project trucks available. As any loyal CCT reader can attest to every day introduces new challenges to make the process more difficult. We'll skip past discussing what scrap metal prices, clunker laws, and natural disasters have done to make the situation worse and get right to the meat of depicting Gene Winfield's private stash of buildable trucks. Oh, the best part of all is if anyone would like to buy one of these diamonds in the rough all they have to do is call Gene at (661) 824-4728.

...Customizing cars and then hitting every major show on the national circuit is a life on the road......It's easy to tell which customizers have their act together because they always roll into town driving a fully customized car hauler.This '67-72 Ford F-100 cab is a little fried from spending a lifetime in the desert sun, but the upside is it appears to be rust free.Gene's stash out back was crawling with '60-66 C10 Chevys. This '64-66 cab exhibited the advance stages of surface rust, but also thanks to the desert sun appeared to be free from structural rust. Notice the '68 Chevy C10 panel in the background.That's Truckin' magazine's Bob Ryder taking a few snap-shots of this pre-war Ford with minimal rust. Notice the '63 Chevy C10 shortbed stepside behind it. We wonder if Gene keeps the Mustang II duo around for donor frontends?Famous for rusting out inside the bed floor this pair of Falcon Rancheros also owe their relatively rust-free bodies to the California desert sun.
Gene has a pretty good mix of neat old trucks. This is just one of a few COEs stashed out back. Notice the '59 Chevy behind it.This specially built U.S. Air Force truck kind of looks like it was designed by the Russians doesn't it?

That weekend shooting highlights the growing problem of domestic violence in Rockford and around the nation.
Domestic violence is not a new problem but it's a serious one, and tough economic times don't help the situation, creating tense times for stateline couples.
Each year nearly three thousand women and children seek help at one Rockford shelter because of domestic violence.
"The abuse escalates so what starts out as pushing and shoving turns into strangulation and slapping and punching," says Andrea Carlson WAVE program Manager.
It can also turn deadly, while domestic violence is not a new problem, it's a serious one.
"Unfortunately they say the most dangerous time in a woman's abusive relationship is when she leaves that's the most lethal time. Their fear of leaving is very much a reality and they have a right to be afraid," says Carlson.
Sergeant Dorsey Thompson oversees the newly created Rockford Police Department's domestic violence unit. The group seeks to intervene before it ends in serious violence like Saturday's shooting.
"Though we do make arrests that's probably the last thing we want to do. We want to try to make it work for the family and keep it from getting to that," says Thompson.
Thompson's unit links women and children with local medical, legal and counseling resources. It also helps women get protective orders against their abusers.
"It's a piece of paper but it's a court order. Though we can't guarantee that person won't get hurt if the abuser violates the order that person can face arrest," says Thompson.
Nearly 2,000 protective orders were issued in Rockford last year for victims of domestic violence.

Give the Obama administration a break
The Obama-Biden administration consists of thousands of individuals in a variety of departments working to advance the President's agenda at home and abroad. The President's Cabinet serves as a board of the highest level expert advisors on matters ranging from transportation to homeland security.
February 15, 2011
Despite the beating the Obama Administration has taken on its trade policies, one fact is indisputable: Exports of U.S. goods and services grew 16.6 percent in calendar year 2010.
According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) of the U.S. Commerce Department, U.S. exports totaled about $1.8 trillion for calendar year 2010, up 16.6 percent from 2009 when they totaled about $1.57 trillion. Exports for December totaled $163 billion, the highest monthly figure since July 2008.
In another report of growing U.S. exports, the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) posted strong first-quarter results for Fiscal Year 2011, with small business authorization volume in dollars jumping 22.46 percent over the same quarter of 2010.
"We are delighted with the continuing growth trend. The United States remains on track to meet President Obama's goal of doubling exports and supporting two million American jobs by 2015," said Ex-Im Bank Chairman and President Fred P. Hochberg.
Among the major export markets (defined as markets averaging at least $500 million per month in imports of U.S. goods), the largest percentage increases in U.S. goods purchases occurred in Turkey (48.7 percent), Panama (41.4 percent), Taiwan (40.8 percent), Peru (37.2 percent), Indonesia (35.9 percent), Korea (35.8 percent, Brazil (35.5 percent), Malaysia (34.4 percent), Argentina (33.1 percent), and China (32.2 percent).
In addition, Ex-Im Bank reported it authorized an estimated $8 billion in total authorizations for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2011 (October, November and December, 2010), supporting nearly $9.3 billion in export sales and 66,000 American jobs in communities across the country.
And the news gets better:
