Economic opportunity
Markets, whether large or small, keep communities thriving. But conflicts, disasters and a lack of infrastructure can prevent people from conducting the daily transactions on which all growth and progress depend. Around the world, Mercy Corps discovers why commerce is stuck.
In some places, manufacturers need loans to purchase equipment and young people desire job skills. In others, key transportation routes to market must be rebuilt or farmers require better storage to keep their inventory fresh until sold.
Our economic development projects provide financing, equipment, training or technical support. These projects help people find jobs, build their businesses, supply their communities with the goods they need —and improve their lives.

To: University CommunityFrom: Mary Harper Hagan, Sr. V.P., HR and Strategic PlanningRe: The Offices of Human Resources and Student Employment Move to the University CenterDate: Friday, February 8, 2013 On Monday, February 11, 2013 at noon, the Offices of Human Resources and Student Employment will open in their new permanent location in the University Center on the Queens campus.
The new office space will offer an ample reception area and an all-new, on-location employee training center. Employees and students who visit us will have the convenience of two self-service computer kiosks, as well as flat screens in the reception and conference areas that are connected to the university broadcast message system.
This move will include the following departments:
On Friday, February 8 beginning at 11 a.m., Human Resources phone extensions will experience a temporary interruption in service for the remainder of the day as the lines are transitioned to the new offices. If you need to reach our staff after 11 a.m. on Friday, you can call either (718) 990-2787 or (718) 990-2331. All staff will continue to be available via e-mail until 3 p.m. Friday.
At 3 p.m. Friday, our offices in St. Augustine Hall will close and we will reopen in our new location in the University Center on Monday, February 11 at 12 p.m. All phone/fax numbers and extensions will remain the same in our new location. During our brief closure, we will continue to check voicemail and will return calls. We assure you that any disruption in our service will be minimal and we apologize for the inconvenience, however brief.
You may recall that last September our Human Resources and Student Employment offices were moved out of Chiang Ching-Kuo Hall, and we took up temporary accommodations in St. Augustine Hall, while our permanent office space in the University Center was prepared. We are pleased with the design of our new space, as it will allow us to continue to provide employees and students with the high quality service you have come to expect.
Stop by and see us in our new offices! We look forward to welcoming you.

"We must stop being the stupid party." "We must stop looking backward." "We must stop insulting the intelligence of voters."
Gov. Bobby Jindal held little back with his sharp words to Republicans Thursday evening, urging his own party to rethink their arguments against Democrats and appeals to voters in his remarks to party members attending the Republican National Committee's Winter Meeting.
"We seem to have an obsession with government bookkeeping," he told party members. "We as Republicans have to accept that government number crunching - even conservative number crunching - is not the answer to our nation's problems."
Instead of being the "party of austerity," Jindal said, Republicans must "boldly show what the future can look like with the free-market policies that we believe in."
"We must compete for every single vote: the 47 percent and the 53 percent and any other combination of numbers that adds up to 100 percent," he said, notably invoking comments 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney made at a closed door fundraiser about a bloc of voters who would not consider GOP candidates.
He also spoke out against those and other "completely unhelpful" comments from Romney in a November interview with CNN. In that interview, he signaled one of the seven points for the Republican Party's future which he laid out Thursday: "The first step in getting the voters to like you is to demonstrate that you like them," he explained Thursday.
Republicans "must reject the notion that demography is destiny, the pathetic and simplistic notion that skin pigmentation dictates voter behavior. We must treat all people as individuals rather than as members of special interest groups," he said.
The Louisianan's remarks further positioned himself as a forward-looking voice among the Republicans thought to have their eye on a White House bid in 2016. RNC Chairman Reince Priebus has directed a five-member panel known as the "Growth and Opportunity Project" to identify winning political strategies for the future, particularly in the area of minority outreach.
Jindal's remarks were laced with criticism of and laugh lines at the expense of Democrats, such as "Which of you wants to sign up to help manage the slow decline of the United States of America? I sure don't. That's what we have Democrats for."
He blasted the economic stimulus programs of President Barack Obama's administration, invoking Solyndra when he said: "You can't hire enough government workers or give enough taxpayer money to your friends who own green energy companies to create prosperity."
But he was also distinctly blunt with his appraisal of the GOP.
Republicans have not only lost elections, he said, but lost issue arguments with Democrats.
"At present we have one party that wants to be in charge of the federal government so they can expand it, and one party that wants to be in charge of the federal government so they can get it under control," he said, referring first to Democrats and then Republicans. "It's a terrible debate, it's a debate fought entirely on our opponents' terms."
Jindal allowed that his thoughts "may challenge your assumptions."
"We must shift the eye line and the ambition of our conservative movement away from managing government and toward the mission of growth," he said.
Republicans must move, he said, beyond a notion of "if we can just put together a spreadsheet and a power point and a TV ad, all will be well."
Jindal was elected last year to lead the Republican Governor's Association.
Priebus will be up for re-election as RNC chairman on Friday.
"I don't think you should use that whole ORCA thing for your election tomorrow," Jindal joked, referring to the Romney campaign voter turnout technology which was reportedly plagued with glitches on Election Day.

Treasuries rose for a second day, with 10-year yields headed for the biggest weekly drop since September, as $85 billion of spending cuts that threatened to slow the world's largest economy are set to be triggered.
Benchmark 10-year notes extended gains from February as President Barack Obama said after meeting with congressional leaders the reductions will be a "slow grind" on the economy. Treasuries had pared an advance earlier after a gauge of U.S. manufacturing rose to the highest since June 2011. Investors sought safety as Chinese factory growth slowed, the euro-area inflation rate dropped and Italian bonds fell.
"There's a lot of paralysis going on in D.C.," said George Goncalves, head of interest-rate strategy at Nomura Holdings Inc., one of 21 primary dealers that trade Treasuries with the Federal Reserve. "It's not clear yet on how it's going to go, so people are buying Treasuries first and asking questions later."
The 10-year yield fell two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 1.85 percent at 1:39 p.m. New York time, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. It lost 11 basis points for the week, the biggest drop since Sept. 28. The 2 percent note due in February 2023 gained 7/32, or $2.19 per $1,000 face amount, to 101 11/32. Thirty-year bond yields declined two basis points to 3.06 percent.
Monthly Performance
Ten-year yields slid 11 basis points in February, their first drop in three months and the largest since July. They will be at 1.85 percent on March 31 before rising to 2.30 percent by year-end, according to a Bloomberg survey of financial companies with the most recent projections given the heaviest weightings.
Treasuries trimmed gains after the Institute for Supply Management's factory index advanced to 54.2 last month, from 53.1 in January, the Tempe, Arizona-based group said today. The figures exceeded the most optimistic forecast in a Bloomberg survey in which the median projection was 52.5. A reading greater than 50 signals expansion.
Commerce Department data showed earlier that consumer spending, which accounts for about 70 percent of the U.S. economy, rose 0.2 percent in January, matching the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey. Incomes slumped 3.6 percent.
U.S. government debt rallied this week after an inconclusive Italian election and as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke backed the central bank's bond purchases.
More Costly
The 10-year term premium, a model that includes expectations for interest rates, growth and inflation, reached negative 0.75 percent today, the most costly level since Jan. 23. A negative reading indicates investors are willing to accept yields below what's considered fair value.
Treasury market volatility, as measured by the Bank of America Merrill Lynch MOVE index, declined yesterday to 55.9, the lowest since Jan. 24.
Treasury trading volume dropped yesterday to $286 billion, the lowest level since Feb. 22, according to ICAP Plc, the largest inter-dealer broker of U.S. government debt. Daily volume reached $491 billion on Feb. 1, the highest since August 2011. The average daily volume for 2013 is $302 billion, compared with $238 billion in 2012.
Congress mandated $1.2 trillion in across-the-board spending cuts to begin today and be spread over nine years, as part of a 2011 agreement to increase the U.S. debt limit. Reductions totaling $85 billion are scheduled to take effect in the remaining seven months of this fiscal year. Lawmakers have failed to reach an accord to head them off.
'Grind Higher'
"No one knows how much time we have in terms of the resolution of this," said Sean Murphy, a trader at Societe Generale in New York, a primary dealer. "We have the potential to grind higher in prices with these concerns. There may be another 10 basis points of steam left."
Obama said it may take weeks to win over enough lawmakers from both parties to reach a deal on a replacement deficit- cutting plan. He said agreement will be reached once members of Congress hear from voters feeling the pinch of cutbacks in government programs.
Bernanke signaled in congressional testimony this week the Fed is prepared to keep buying bonds at its present pace, as he dismissed concern that record easing risks sparking inflation or asset-price bubbles. The central bank purchases $85 billion of Treasury and mortgage debt a month, putting downward pressure on borrowing costs to fuel growth.
Fed Purchase
The Fed bought $916 million of Treasuries today maturing from August 2023 to February 2031.
China's official purchasing managers' index was 50.1 in February, the weakest in five months and down from 50.4 in January, a report from the National Bureau of Statistics and China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing showed in Beijing. The euro area's annual inflation rate fell more than economists predicted in February, to 1.8 percent, according to the European Union's statistics office in Luxembourg.
Italy's 10-year yield rose six basis points to 4.79 percent today. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell as much as 0.9 percent and gained as much as 0.4 percent.
