Global Vendor Finance

Supporting the Global Sales Strategies of Manufacturers and Dealers

Supporting Our Associated Manufacturers and Dealers in Their Global Sales Strategies

For manufacturers and dealers that are currently expanding their business activities globally, or are thinking of international expansion in future years, SMFL provides financial services, including leasing and installment finance.

SMFL’s offices overseas work together with SMFL’s vendor finance specialist divisions, to respond promptly to customer requests and provide total support for the strategies of manufacturers and dealers. Items for which SMFL provides financing span a broad range, including the construction machinery, transportation equipment, and industrial machinery as well as medical equipment and other categories.

Overseas Network Focused Principally in Asia

Forecasts (prepared by the Boeing Company) call for more than a doubling of worldwide demand for aircraft, from about 20,000 in 2012 to more than 41,000 by 2032. Factors accounting for this will be the growing volume of passenger traffic accompanying economic growth in the emerging countries. especially in Asia, and the expansion of the LCC airline industry. Looking ahead, the “One Stop Shop” business platform, which was formed by the companies of the Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group (SMFG) in collaboration with Sumitomo Corporation, will strive to meet the diverse needs of airline companies and aircraft investors.

New York Branch Established in the United States

In April 2014, SMFL established a branch in New York in the United States, which is the world’s largest market for lease financing, and, at present, is completing preparations for the opening of its New York Office in the latter half of fiscal 2014. In the United States, SMFL will develop its Global vendor finance, which are one of its areas of strength. Going forward, SMFL is moving forward with activities to station staff in other locations, including San Francisco, and developing business network that will cover the entire United States at an early date. SMFL will continue to expand its overseas network in the years ahead to respond actively and promptly to the needs of Japanese-affiliated companies entering overseas markets.

The Associated Press

The Associated Press

After a weeklong break, gasoline prices are ready to climb higher again.

A surge in wholesale gasoline prices should push pump prices to an 18-month high and put drivers in many parts of the country on the cusp of having to pay $3 per gallon for gasoline.

Pump prices have been mostly flat for the past week. But wholesale prices jumped 5 cents Friday. That should translate into retail prices of at least $2.87 per gallon in the next couple of days, the highest level since October 2008, said Tom Kloza of Oil Price Information Service. The current national average is around $2.85 per gallon.

Gas prices in Massachusetts also are continuing to rise, jumping another four cents in the past week to an average of $2.80 for a gallon of self-serve regular. AAA Southern New England said Monday that gas prices have risen nine cents in the past month and 18 cents since the start of the year.

The cost in Massachusetts is a nickel below the national average, but 79 cents higher than at the same time last year. AAA's latest survey found a low of $2.69 and a high of $2.97 for self-serve regular.

Oil prices have doubled in the past year as various economic indicators and a surging stock market suggest the Great Recession is over and that energy consumption will improve, especially in emerging markets such as China and Latin America.

Gasoline prices have followed along. Also in the spring, gasoline demand typically picks up and more expensive blends are produced to meet anti-pollution requirements. The Energy Department and a number of analysts expect average retail gasoline prices to top $3 a gallon by summer.

The nationwide average was $2.854 per gallon on Monday, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. Prices have risen 4.8 cents over the past month and are 80.2 cents higher than a year ago.

In its weekly report on gasoline prices released late Monday, the Energy Information Administration said the national average for a gallon of gasoline fell 1.1 cents to $2.849. Prices dropped by nearly 4 cents in the Midwest last week and climbed by 4 cents in New England.

In one sense, drivers actually have been getting a break at the gas pump. Oil prices of $80 a barrel, about the average cost for crude so far this year, typically mean a pump price of about $2.90 per gallon, said oil analyst and trader Stephen Schork.

With crude prices currently at $85, "I can't see how we don't get to $3 on a national average," he said.

The reason the price hasn't gone that high yet is because demand for gasoline continues to be weak, he said. Gas prices have surpassed the $3 mark in nine states, including California and New York, according to AAA.

Oil prices eased on Monday after jumping Friday. Benchmark crude for May delivery fell 92 cents to settle at $84.20 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Earlier in the session, it rose as high as $85.63.

In other Nymex trading in May contracts, heating oil fell 1.34 cents to settle at $2.2371 a gallon, and gasoline dropped 1.22 cents to settle at $2.3409 a gallon. Natural gas added a half penny to settle at $4.262 per 1,000 cubic feet.

In London, Brent crude gave up 42 cents to settle at $86.83 a barrel on the ICE futures exchange.

Shawn Blanc's New Podcast: The Weekly Briefly

I've been listening to Shawn Blanc's daily, members-only podcast, Shawn Today, for a little over a year now. It's one of the few podcasts that I try to listen to every episode of, because Shawn and I share similar interests and I value his thoughts on those topics.

And now, he's branching out from Shawn Today and releasing one of the episodes to the public each week, under a different podcast name: The Weekly Briefly. The first episode—"Indie Life"—was just released in the last half-hour and I encourage you to go listen.

Myrkledd slette i skogen

Alvedans i takedisen
"Kom soster, kom med oss"

Wandering lonely on unknown paths
The twilight falls
Calling, waiting - the silence keep silent
The twilight falls

Beautiful song far away
Bog-faced plain in the woods
Veil of fog shows the way
Bog-faced plain in the woods

Fairy dance in the haze

Cold, cold in the evening breeze
"Come sister, come with us"

Tall trees casts shades
My loss of humans is forgotten
Tall trees casts shades
Why So Lonely
Why so lonely
Here you may rest
Lay your head down at my chest

Darkened days brighten
No more to frighten
Will you be mine
Until the end of time

Why so lonely
I'll give you shelter
Comfort you, carry you
Through our lives

Darkened days brighten
No more to frighten
Will you be mine
Until the end of time

Why so lonely, I'll be the one
You always can turn to
I am yours

For as long as you want to
Lend me your heart
I will shelter it
Until the end of time
I walk alone
Not because I'm lost
But because I want to

They call my name
They believe I'm scared
But the Depth is my friend

They can catch me
Try to thrill me
And possess me

They can loathe me
Try to force me into changing
Although they know by heart
That I will not
Obey their rules

I do not stand for all I say
Do I Face resistance will I turn away
Close my eyes afraid to stay

But honesty is my plead
Truth stands further in the need
For my Honour I might bleed
Dreams carry me into sleep
As I sigh
I write your name in my Soul
As I search your words
I cast my Destiny on to you

Deadly whisper in my ear
Finally me now, my time has come

I never thought I would feel this way
I never thought I would go this far
I never thought I would surrender
I never thought I would give in to you

To give me a sign before I die
Show me you've heard my prayer
Veil of mist, hazy my view
The entrance to Death
Trial of Past
Jeg vil hvile ved en bredd
Alt er stille, klart vann
Under flaten finnes fred
Vil du holde meg Vind
Om jeg soker dit ned

I et stille klart vann
Ser jeg lengselen i min Sjel

I want to rest by a shore
Everything is quiet, clear water
Below the surface exists peace
Will you hold me Wind
If I seek down there

In a quiet clear water
I see the yearning in my Soul
Salva Me
I feel this familiar Hunger
Cover my mind carry my conscience away
My beloved skin is ageing
Heal me pure Virgin
With that lifegiving Blood of yours
Salva Me

The light of the Moon gives me Strength
Cold winds chant Nosferatu
I'm tired of my eternal Hunger
My Soul is crying, my Soul is crying
Salva Me
In Mist Shrouded
She lies awake in the silent night
With her mind wide open
She fears what shall appear
As she stares into The Dark

Beyond these tall majestic trees
Her feel know where to trend
She recognize the mass-covered stones
Knows each curve of The Path

She tries to catch The Dreams
But they fade away
She knows they will return
Come Evening
Oceana carry with her
All the lost dreams
As a treasure
Hidden underneath her wings

Oceana in my Heart

I went away
To The Outer Hills
Where no trees can grow
And no man live
With my head held high
I asked the Northwind
Will you please
Take me with you
And the wind lifted me up
Like a bird whose wings were spread
Merely to put me down

I went to the Moon
When she was shining as bright
As I have ever seen her
May I borrow some of The Light
That you possess

But the moonbeam
Could not reach deep enough

Then I saw her face
As the waves went away
She told me
She had been waiting

Cold winter nights
I walk upon the frozen earth
The Moon lights my way
The Northwind embraces me
Tells me to go on

Mullet Peninsula

Paddy was trapped in a bog and seemed a goner when Big Mick O'Reilly wandered by. "Help!" Paddy shouted, "Oi'm sinkin'!"
"Don't worry," assured Mick. "Next to the Strong Muldoon, Oi'm the strongest man in Erin, and Oi'll pull ye right out o' there."
Mick leaned out and grabbed Paddy's hand and pulled and pulled to no avail. After two more unsuccessful attempts, Mick said to Paddy, "Shure, an' Oi can't do it. The Strong Muldoon could do it alone mebbe, but Oi'll have to get some help."
As Mick was leaving, Paddy called "Mick! Mick! D'ye think it will help if Oi pull me feet out of the stirrups?"

Mullet Peninsula

On a grey and rainy day the moorlands fill all expectations one may have of Ireland's boggy areas. A sad, melancholic feeling lies over the wet soil, but also silence, unknown and attractive for those who live in bigger towns. A clear day dives the bog in amazing colours. For people in rural Ireland turf is still a natural source to heat the houses either with the chimney or through turf powerstations (see last picture)

Images of Ireland - Co.Mayo - Mullet Peninsula
Images of Ireland - Co.Mayo - Barnatal

Barnatal - Turf

Covering 1,200,000 hectares (1/6th) of the island, Ireland contains more bog, relatively speaking, than any country in Europe except Finland. With many of the bogs in the rest of Europe already gone, Ireland's now have an increased importance to the scientific community, as well as the tourist industry.

Read on and get basic information about the history of Irish bogland written by Patrick Abbot. For a deeper insight I recommend the Peat Society.

Barnatal - Turf

A typical scenery in the north-east of Ireland. The turf is piled up to dry, which needs about four weeks. After peeling the sod the bog is cut in two or three phases. Not many places appear as clean as this one in County Mayo. Many of the Irish bogs are dumping blackspots.

Images of Ireland - Co.Mayo - Barnatal
Images of Ireland - Co.Mayo - Barnatal

Barnatal - Turf

This boy showed us the traditional way to cut the peatbog to handy pieces. In a family that still has own peatland everybody has to lend a hand for help. The tool is especially made for this task, but it's still hard work.

Barnatal - Turf

When we passed this place, no one was around, only the tools were left as witnesses of work. But as we walked closer a car stopped on the street and the boy jumped out, in fear, I guess, we would steel the tools as souvenirs. Painful experience?

Images of Ireland - Co.Mayo - Barnatal

Piece of turf

But to be honest, we couldn't leave without grabbing one piece of turf. Call me nuts, but every now and then I burn a little piece over a candle and enjoy the smell.

Digging the bog brings things up to daylight that were hidden in the underground for hundreds of years. This piece of bogwood is about 5000 years old and was found in Belmullet, County Mayo. I got it as gift with the task, to give it to a sculptor, but I love it as it is, rough and natural. Ronnie Graham from Kirvana is an excellent sculptor of bogwood that is hard as stone. Each piece seems to hide it's own personality. Locked in the bog without oxygen the wood keeps the shape for ages. It's fascinating to touch such a witness of ancient times, a very special feeling.

Mullet Peninsula

What is romantic for tourists is tough reality for Irish farmers. Everything has to be prepared before the winter comes, even earlier, cause the rain would wet the turf too much. It has to be dry and in the shed before October.

When at last the work is done the big leather - chair invites to sit down and take a rest. And when the fire starts burning and the smell of turf arises it's such a cosy and comfortable feeling that every painful effort of work is forgotten in a second.

Images of Ireland - Kettle
Images of Ireland - Turf Fire

Turf Fire

What a drive that was, three hours on one side of Killary Harbour, Co. Mayo, three hours back on the other side, Co. Galway. The road seemed to have no end. Narrow, winding streets of course and a stop every mile to take a picture of the scenic landscape. How exhausted I was when at last reaching the most eastern corner of Connemara. But the fire was waiting for the tired visitor and I drowned in Irish hospitality.

May you always be blessed
with walls for the wind,
a roof for the rain,
a warm cup of tea by the fire,
laughter to cheer you,
those you love near you,
and all that your heart might desire.

Images of Ireland - Teatime
Images of Ireland - Co.Mayo - Mullet Peninsula

Mullet Peninsula

The private use of turf for fire isn't a big problem for natural resources, but the industrial production is indeed. Big roaring machines rip hundreds of hectare of peatland, deeper than handwork would do. They leave deep wounds in the ground and the compression causes many problems in the ecologial system.

Peat - Powerstation

Close down ALL Peat Fired Power Stations NOW
Producing energy using Peat from virgin boglands is like burning rainforests to make electricity. Ireland's Peat-fired power stations are EATING up some of the world's last remaining boglands. Most of the peat from Bord Na Mona's workings in North Mayo go to feed the Bellacorrick Power Station, the only Peat fired power station West of the River Shannon. This archaic monstrosity sits in the middle of an enormous bog and looks fantastically ugly and fantastically out of place. It was built in 1962 and is well past its life now. It is so inefficient that most of its combustible fuels spew out of its chimney. Due for closure before 2004, this monstrosity should be shut down immediately. Its emissions are well in excess of EU permitted levels and the damage it causes to the surrounding boglands is intolerable. Despite the idiotic comments of several local Mayo County Councillors about fighting to keep the power station open for the sake of a few score jobs, this "pollution machine" has to go now.No amount of jobs can replace the irreplaceable bogland ecology - fast disappearing under the weight of the Irish government's total ignorance of the country's environmental value.

NBA owners yield on guaranteed deals in talks

In a somewhat conciliatory gesture, NBA owners relaxed their stance on guaranteed contracts during the latest round of CBA negotiations. The players welcomed the move but cautioned there was still a wide gulf to be bridged.

A majority of Minnesotans say Gov. Mark Dayton is doing a good job at the state's helm, according to a new Star Tribune Minnesota Poll.

A year after 43 percent of voters sent Dayton to the governor's office, 52 percent of Minnesotans now say they approve of the way he is handling the job. Another 31 percent disapprove, while 17 percent had no opinion or declined to answer the question.

Given his ongoing battles with a Republican-led House and Senate, the DFL governor pronounced himself pleased with the numbers.

"They're definitely better than I would have expected, given the controversies of the year, from the budget impasse and the shutdown," Dayton said. "And the stadium issue is certainly controversial. So I'm encouraged. It provides great motivation to work even harder."

The poll interviewed 807 Minnesota adults statewide Nov. 2-3 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.

The numbers show only a slight dip in Dayton's approval rating since a May Minnesota Poll, before the early summer shutdown that shuttered government for almost three weeks. In that poll, 54 percent approved of the governor's work.

But a year on the job has left Dayton with some dings too. A disapproval rate that was 20 percent in May has risen to 31 percent, and the percentage with no opinion has shrunk from 26 percent to 17 percent.

"I'm not really happy with him. He doesn't seem to be helping much," said Angel Klippenes, 42, of Staples. Klippenes, who said she is an independent voter, added that she thinks Dayton is doing "not so bad [but] not so good."

The poll shows Dayton doing best among Democrats and older Minnesotans. Seventy-six percent of Democrats registered approval. Among Minnesotans 65 and older, 67 percent approve of the job he's doing -- his highest marks among any demographic group.

"I'm two months away from 65, so they are my peers," joked the governor, who was the oldest Minnesota governor to be elected.

More seriously, Dayton said, "I think the elderly have memories that go back further than young people." They have watched him for more than three decades, he said, and "understand my sincerity."

Norman Heitz, 75, of Minneapolis, said he believes Dayton "wants to get some real work done."

"I think he's really trying to do a lot of good, and he's being stepped on all over the place," said Heitz, a DFLer. "The Republicans don't want to do anything he wants to do."

Dave Walle, 62, of Rochester, agrees. "I think he has great challenges," said Walle, an independent. "It's not a perfect job, but I think he is responding to real life." Walle said he appreciates that Dayton has traveled the state to listen to Minnesotans.

The survey sample consisted of 24 percent self-identified Republicans, 34 percent Democrats and 33 percent independents, with the rest identifying with another party or no party. Typically, about a third of Minnesotans identify themselves with each political grouping but those figures change over time. Unlike some other states, Minnesota does not have voter registration by party.

Ken Martin, chair of the DFL Party, said it was not surprising that a third of Minnesotans identified themselves as Democrats.

"Democrats in this state still enjoy a lead over Republicans," Martin said.

Martin and Minnesota Republican Party chair Tony Sutton claimed that some of the independents probably tend to vote with their party.

"If your party split is true, a lot of independents have been voting for Republicans in recent elections," Sutton said. He said he believes the poll underrepresents both Democrats and Republican voters.

Dominika Cibulkova

The Porsche Tennis Grand Prix suffered a serious blow on Monday morning when the news was revealed that two of the top stars, Dominika Cibulkova and Caroline Wozniacki had been forced to withdraw from the event.

Defending champion Maria Sharapova is seeded sixth this year, and is in a draw that features some of the top competitors in the WTA tour, with the top seed being world No. 3 Agnieszka Radwanska.

People who had the displeasure of watching Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden start the 2013 season already know he has problems playing the position.  After week one ESPn has him ranked next to dead last. There is only one quarterback int he NFL with a worse T.Q.R. than Brandon Weeden according to the ESPN ranking system.

Weeden comes into his second NFL season playing just as bad as he did in his first NFL system. This time, the fans can’t blame the Browns coaching staff. The entire coaching staff has been revamped and according to them, they custom-built the Browns offense to fit Weeden’s skill set.

In his last 2 performances it looked like Weeden was going to struggle. The only time he looked half way decent was against a not ready for the season Lions in the preseason and the St. Louis Rams in the preseason. When Weeden faced the pressure of the Colts pass rush in game 3 of the preseason he couldn’t compete on the NFL level and after watching him in the season opener he could compete against a Miami Dolphins team that wasn’t favored to come into the Browns home stadium and win the game.

The Cleveland Browns front office knew they had a problem at the QB position coming into the season and that is why they signed Campbell and Hoyer. The problem now rests on the shoulders of rookie head coach Rob Chudzinski who may have his own problems to fix, but that is the topic of another article.

The Browns may be off to another losing season and  it is a shame for the die-hard fans who want to see a winning season. It is going to be difficult for that to happen is the Browns continue to start a struggling Weeden.

How soon do you think the Browns head coach will make the change? Leave your comments below and let us know if you think the Browns should make a change at the QB position.

    get weeden out of their NOW!! lets get Cambell working with the first team NOW!! Weeden’s had 17 games 4 preseason games an he’s just not progressing,at least cambell can scramble has nfl experience an is smart,I’m sorry but weeden’s got to go!!!

  4. DAVE

    I’M NOT GONNA WASTE MY TIME WATCHING OR LISTENING TO ANOTHER BROWNS GAME UNTILL I HEAR THAT THEY WON A COUPLE GAMES. Yes, I know, I’ll probably have all my Sundays free for other things all season.

  5. Don

    I am a season ticket holder. I went to the game yesterday and left with 8 minutes left in the third quarter. I left because what I was watching made me sick
    I came home and watched San Fran and Green Bay then I watched Dallas and Giants.
    What a pleasure it is to watch four good football teams go at it.
    Watching the Browns is like watching a bad high school team.

  6. Ron DiLalla

    Let’s make the change immediately and go with Campbell. He gives us the best chance to win now. Work for the next draft. I can,t see one team taking Weeden if they let him go..That pretty much sums it up.

    • Keith

      Let’s not. Let’s look at where Weeden was let down, use a bit of common sense and stick with him just a little longer. One game is not enough to know what you presume to know, and watching the tape with an open mind would allow you to see that. Campbell would have had the same problems with yesterdays circumstances.

      • Christopher Kellar

        One game? do you not see the pre-season,or any of the games last year. Weeden cannot play, period. As for Campbell, he can scramble, he can see and read the defense, Weeden can’t. We have seen enough, if they stay with Weeden, three wins this year if we are lucky.

        • One fan says...

          I have honestly never seen such a collection of negative, uneducated, knee jerk, and occasionally petulant responses, than those registered by some so called fans of the Cleveland Browns after just one game.
          It is staggering that some of you consider yourself to be fans. The team deserves better, no matter what you might think, and quite frankly, although there is no chance of it happening, if they did move to LA I really wouldn’t blame them.
          You lot just don’t deserve a team here. You have no idea what supporting a team is all about. You have no sense of loyalty to any of the players or personnel. No real appreciation for the game, and your attacks on your own players are disgusting to read.
          Most of the reporting on here is bitching for the sake of bitching, and borders on victimization with some players. It is shocking to see.
          Most fans fail to see the reasons Weeden was not effective, seeing only his own failings, which admittedly were plentiful. That’s because that is all they want to see. They seem to somehow enjoy wallowing in their own self pity and insignificance, and vent freely because it is what they enjoy doing, on a site which not only encourages it, but has been built on it too. It is like a comfort zone for some, just picking on a player like Weeden because it makes them feel better about themselves. They also criticize the coaching constantly without ever giving the opposing team any credit at all for just being better. It is very sad, and so disappointing.
          I want the Browns to win just as much as the true fans on here do, and I share the frustration of many. But the majority of posters on this site, and the host himself, do not deserve to be a part of this franchise, this team. You really should be ashamed of yourselves if you think for one second that slagging off everything Browns related, after one game, makes you fans in any shape or form.

          • LG

            The fans are sick and tired of being sick and tired…….They are sick of losing. People pay good money to go to a game and it is a waste…..What do you expect them to be happy about this garbage?

  7. marty

    get rid of weeden. he is not getting better, his mobility is not there, and he will be lucky if he completes half his pass attempts. last year he ranked in the worst three q b s in the n f l, he is back, only worse. we fans deserve better. hard to establish a running game, much less a winning season, if you consistently miss more passes than you hit. what was the browns third down eff.? 1 of 14?

  8. Straydog259

    I knew last year that BW was not a guy that would be around long. Please give Campbell a shot. Could he be worse?

    Weeden is not an NFL QB. All of the “lovers” need to understand the game and look at the games in their entirety. The man has no touch on his passes. You can’t throw the ball 90mph on every play! He is purely a baseball pitcher trying to be a QB. He cannot lead a receiver to save his life. The ball is always behind the target. He holds the ball for way too long. It needs to be out of his hands in 3 seconds or less. That is why he is getting hit. Take a look at all of the “good” QB’s in the league, they get rid of the ball quickly.

    It is past time for the new Managers to make a bold choice. Cambell and Hoyer are better candidates to take our Dawgs to a winning Season. This years Weeden is the same as last years Weeden. Give the other QBs the ball and we Dawgs will live with the results!

    I would like a tryout… I played QB In 8th grade…

    • LG

      If you continued to throw the football, you probably have more experience than Weeden….

      • Anonymous

        Don’t you wish they took Ryan tannehill. But no you picked a running back. Kind of hard 2 run when They no they can stack the box. Sense they can’t throw. I’m a dolphin fan so I’m happy you went weeden tannehill had 320 this week with 117 passer rating

      • Patrick

        Tannehill is what weeden will never b. the numbers from the first two games tanehill has 600 yds and a passer rating of 107

  12. Patrick

    Should of picked tanehill with his 600 yards in last 2 games. And his 107 passer rating

UIC employee arrested after bringing unloaded gun to work

A University of Illinois at Chicago employee was arrested this afternoon after he brought a legally purchased gun to work because he didn't want to leave it at home while his house was being renovated, a UIC spokesman said.

The employee at a UIC building near Polk and Wood streets brought the gun to work today, and another employee saw it and called police, said Mark Rosati, a UIC spokesman.

Police were called at 4:30 p.m., and determined that the employee had recently purchased the handgun, and had brought it--unloaded, and in a case--to work because he did not want to leave it at home while his home was undergoing remodeling, Rosati said. The employee had a valid Illinois Firearm Owners Identification Card, Rosati said.

A nearby hospital sent out an alert to employees saying that there was a standoff involving police at the UIC building, but Chicago Police and Rosati said no standoff occurred.

No information about charges against the employee were immediately available.

UConn's Hartford Site Should Complement Other Plans

Where in downtown Hartford should the University of Connecticut locate its Greater Hartford campus? All things being equal, a place that enhances other state investments and city plans.

UConn officials announced in November that they were planning to move the school's Greater Hartford campus from West Hartford to downtown Hartford in the next 12 to 18 months. The Greater Hartford campus had been in Hartford until 1970. Bringing it back is great for the school and for downtown.

The school is searching for a site in the downtown area. Last week, Hartford Mayor Pedro E. Segarra told The Courant's editorial board that Talcott Plaza, just off Main Street north of the former G. Fox building, and the old Hartford Times building on Prospect Street were leading contenders, along with a former bank processing center on Windsor Street immediately north of downtown.

Courant business reporter Ken Gosselin has reported that a site on Allyn Street, cleared decades ago for an office tower that was never built, is also in play. So are some other sites, we are told. The school is mum on the subject, appropriately at this stage.

Obviously the first criteria in selecting a site is that it has to work for teaching and learning. Beyond that, it ought to be coordinated with other investments, or policy initiatives, in downtown. For example, the state and federal governments are putting hundreds of millions of dollars in the CTfastrak busway and New Haven-Hartford-Springfield commuter rail into downtown Hartford. It would be good if the new campus could take advantage of this service; downtown can only absorb so many more cars.

Using the former Times building would further the goal of historic preservation and enhance the Front Street development. Some sites support the iQuilt plan of cultural activity around Bushnell Park. If city and UConn officials can coordinate the location of the campus with other positive downtown initiatives, it's more bang for the buck.

2005 | Dave Chappelle quits and hides out in South Africa

After two incredibly successful seasons of "Chappelle's Show" on cable network Comedy Central, comedian Dave Chappelle suddenly quit and fled to South Africa for a "spiritual retreat." Chappelle cut off contact with family members and advisors, leaving Comedy Central to cancel the third season of the show. Chappelle later told Time magazine that he was "definitely stressed out" but wasn't crazy or "smoking crack." "You hear so many voices jockeying for position in your mind that you want to make sure that you hear your own voice," he said. "So I figured, let me just cut myself off from everybody, take a minute and pull a Flintstone -- stop a speeding car by using my bare feet as the brakes."

ROUNDUP: Marsteller wins Clarion Open title in LHU debut

Alex Klucker and Chance Marsteller both dominated their respective weight classes and each finished a perfect 5-0 on the way to individual titles for the Lock Haven wrestling team at Sunday’s Clarion Open.

Klucker went 5-0 with a pair of pins in a strong 157-pound bracket and Marsteller went 5-0 with four tech falls on the way to his title at 165 pounds in his much anticipated Bald Eagle debut.

Klucker, a redshirt-sophomore, needed just 29 seconds to pin his first opponent of the day and he followed that up with a 16-0 tech fall. He won 15-11 in the quarterfinals and upended Joe Lee by major decision, 19-8, in the semifinals. In the finals, Klucker pinned Kent State’s Casey Sparkman in just 2:23 to put an exclamation point on his run through the bracket and title.

Marsteller put on a clinic in his Lock Haven debut. The nationally ranked redshirt-junior went a perfect 5-0 at 165 with four of his five wins coming by way of tech fall. Marsteller’s first three bouts took just over 10 minutes as he overpowered his first three opponents by a combined 55-9 score.

In the semifinals, Marsteller dropped Pittsburgh’s Jake Wentzel, 9-3, before another dominating effort in the finals. In the finals, Marsteller needed just over six minutes to tech Virginia’s Demetrius Romero, 20-5.

In five bouts Marsteller outscored the opposition by a combined 84-17.

• In the defining performance of her brilliant career, senior Kendall Ham scored three goals in the first 21 minutes of the match to get Bucknell off to a dream start, and the second-seeded Bison held on down the stretch for a 3-2 victory over top-seeded Navy in the Patriot League Women’s Soccer Tournament championship on Sunday at Glenn Warner Soccer Facility. It is the second straight Patriot League title and fourth overall for the Bison, who will find out their NCAA Tournament destination on today at 4:30 p.m.

A year ago, Bucknell needed an overtime goal from Cora Climo to defeat Boston University 2-1 in the Patriot League title match. This time the Bison shocked regular-season champion Navy with an incredible three-goal flurry from Ham, who would later earn Tournament MVP honors.

• The No. 18 Bucknell men’s water polo team finished 10-0 in MAWPC East Region play with its 8-6 victory over Fordham on Sunday. The Bison, who clinched their second-straight MAWPC East Region regular-season title with the Rams’ overtime loss to Wagner on Wednesday, completed their perfect conference season behind a five-goal outing by Rade Joksimovic.

“It was a good win, but we have a lot to work to do as we move into the MAWPC tournament,” said head coach John McBride. “Going 10-0 in the conference is a great accomplishment, but our focus is on winning the tournament and getting back to the NCAAs.”

• Six members of the Penn State wrestling team competed at the Clarion Open with true freshman Nick Lee competed unattached at 141 in his first open tournament. Lee was impressive, advancing to the finals. Lee went 4-1 on the day with three dominating tech falls and a major. He dropped a 6-4 decision to No. 10 Brock Zacherl of Clarion in the final.

Junior Shakur Rasheed went 4-1 at 197 with three pins and a tech fall. The Lion junior placed third, winning the consolation finals with a pin in just 39 seconds.

Redshirt freshman Brian Friery, of Lewisburg, competed at 157 pounds and grabbed a win.

No. 9 Tyler Smith moved to 2-0 on the young season, scoring his second major decision victory of the day during the Bucknell wrestling team’s loss to Edinboro, 30-10. The Bison loste earlier in the day to CSU Bakersfield, 26-10.

Smith, who in the morning topped No. 19 Russell Rohlfing of CSU Bakersfield by an 11-2 major decision, defeated Edinboro’s Nate Hagan, 16-6, at 141. Smith outscored Hagan by a 7-1 margin in the third period to win the 80th match of his collegiate career.

Drew Phipps became the first Bison to win by fall, pinning Aaron Paddock 4:52 into their 197 bout.

• The Penn State men’s basketball team picked up an 84-67 win over Bloomsburg in the Bryce Jordan Center in its final exhibition game. Penn State shot 62.5 percent from the field in the first 20 minutes and built a 19-point halftime lead over the Huskies with a 9-0 run over the final 3:25 of the first half. The Nittany Lions were 9 for 13 for a scorching 69.2 field goal percentage in the first eight minutes of the game and converted nine Bloomsburg miscues into 15 points.

Using Open Source for work and play

February 2018

by admin for Finance

A buying stampede happens when a whole bunch of investors and speculators all decide at once that a market is moving and they have to get aboard, now. We saw something like that recently when despite a poor jobs report, no inflation pressure, Fed waffling on QE2 and other ambivalent news, the stock market started heating up. There are a lot of underinvested or un-invested people who decided this was what they were looking for, proof that the coast was clear to begin investing in this ongoing bull market. Sure stocks are up 70% from the bottom eighteen months ago, but there is a good argument why it should keep going up. The argument goes that the Fed will engineer what looks a lot like stockholder nirvana, lower rates, mild inflation, better growth, a lower dollar and yet not inhibit strong earnings (if you believe that, we’ve got some real estate we’d like to sell you just as soon as the tide goes out.)

This sort of buying panic occurs sooner or later in all bull markets, usually near the end. The trouble with bull markets is that they like to climb this ‘wall of worry.’ So long as we have something to worry about, most of the potential investors will not commit fully to the bull market and so the market has a lot of unspent purchasing power yet to be committed, when the wall of worry breaks down, the flood of money sends stocks much higher. We could be seeing the beginnings of this as cheap stocks meet easy money amid rising earnings.

We have chatted before about our dividend discount model and its output. The DDM has argued for a long time that stocks are just too cheap. The counter argument that stocks are pretty fully valued is based on the assumption that the market has a much higher risk premium built into it now than in the past and that the market does not believe that current interest rates are sustainable. So, if we take two of the four elements in stock valuation and arbitrarily insert values that are not time-tested or related to current market conditions, we can validate the current market price or even come to believe that it is relatively high.

We’re sorry, that’s not the way valuation works. The whole idea of valuation is to compare a known value, today’s price, to a normal situation which we can foresee. Normal doesn’t have an unusually high risk premium attached, nor does it presume a different interest rate environment. Normal takes normal risk premiums into consideration along with the current interest rate environment. We are a long way from normal today, but that is the destination. Valuation is like the map of where we are and it will probably tell us when we arrive.

What is amazing is that we can say something like “the stock market will probably double from today’s levels before this bull market runs its course” and hardly anyone will take us seriously. That is exactly the reaction we want. That tells us that the wall of worry is still largely intact and that we are still able to climb higher with impunity.

Issue of the Week

The election season is in high gear, with candidates all across the country running for office. We will be selecting 36 new governors, this year, 37 senators, and all 435 Representatives to Congress (the opposite of progress). We cannot wait for this whole sordid affair to be over. The timbre of the discussion in advertisements is so downbeat, that we are certain that it alone impinges on the ability of the economy to recover.

How can we possibly manage to function when so many scalawags, scoundrels and malcontents are in charge in Washington? Between the socialists, progressives and liberals on one side who are all about tax and spend and the conservatives and nationalists who are all about saying no to the progressives, there is no path leading to a better future. Has it ever been this bad before? Well, yes, during the Clinton Administration it was about this bad. Nixon had it probably a little worse, and Nixon was not a crook, at least in his own words. Politics in America haven’t been civil in a long time, but at this juncture we could use some civility more than usual. But, we aren’t going to get it.

It seems the 435 crooks in the House probably have the interests of the 10,000 lobbyists firmly in their sights. We will get what is best for the lobbyists and their employers, and if we’re lucky, it won’t hurt the country too much. Why do you think the financial re-regulation bill took 2000 pages? To fit all the special favors and exemptions in there for favored parties. We could say the same for the healthcare overhaul as well. One could write a novel, with character development, plot establishment, a building crisis, a romance, some danger, some humor, and a heroic ending and still have several hundred pages left over. One could write a critique of healthcare as it now exists, with footnotes aplenty, descriptions of problems, solutions, scientific endeavor and all the rest, with hundreds of pages still to be filled. The only reason to write any bill of 2000 pages is to include every lobbyist’s favorite little exemption or wrinkle.

Of course it’s frustrating, but until we derive a better form of government, that doesn’t ultimately collapse into either anarchy or despotism, we’re stuck with this one. Enjoy.

Economic News

Producer Prices rose 0.4% in September according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the core version of the index, which removes volatile energy and food components, rose 0.1%. Energy prices and food prices were boosted by what many think are short-term factors. Over the last 12 months, producer prices have risen 4.0% and the core PPI has risen 1.6%.

Consumer Prices were almost unchanged with gains of only 0.1% in September. The core version of the index without food and fuel was unchanged on the month. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said that in the last 12 months the CPI is up 1.1% and the core up 0.8%.

Importantly, the low level of the CPI in the last year will translate into no increase in Social Security benefits this year, barring some proactive Congressional input. Social Security needs inflation of 2% before benefits are automatically increased.

The US Trade Balance was once again in deficit, the August number was $46.3 billion according to the Commerce Department versus a deficit of $42.6 in July.

Consumer sentiment, the University of Michigan survey, slipped in September to 67.9 from 68.2 in August. The college of economists had guessed that the index would rise, following the Consumer Confidence survey, the Conference Board version, which rose earlier.

Retail sales rose by 0.6% in September after a revised 0.7% gain in August (versus an initial report of 0.4%) according to the Commerce Department. Excluding auto sales, retail sales were up by 0.4%.

Weekly Stuff

We have had another decent week for apparently no good reason. Well, we are starting in on earnings season and it looks to be pretty good this time, again. The earliest earnings numbers have tended to be about what was expected or a little bit better. We suspect that by the time this whole orgy of data is over we will see gains in earnings for the indexes of beyond 15%, probably more like 20% and easily justifying the current price of the market. We are once again frantically looking for better revenue growth that will disappoint anyone who really thinks that is what we need. In fact, all we really need is earnings to justify what we are paying for the stocks. No one will be able to look back at the charts and see that we were really off base waiting for revenues. The bears will rant about revenues being too light until they come up with another reason why we shouldn’t buy this bull market. And that one will be wrong too.

It was a good week for all the indexes, but better for some than others. The Dow lagged pretty badly due to its multiple bank stocks. The foreclosure fiasco caught the banks with their lawyers down. For those not aware of what is going on, the banks hold the mortgages that millions of Americans aren’t paying because their house isn’t worth what the mortgage balance is. Because the folks aren’t paying the bank must ultimately foreclose. Before the bank can foreclose, they have to dot the i’s and cross the t’s in the legal proceeding that is foreclosure. It seems that many of the players aren’t doing a very thorough job and so the foreclosures may not be totally legal. That has been a bigger boon to the non-paying mortgagees than all the moratoria that states and the Federal government have dreamt up. But, sooner or later, the loans will get processed, the homes will be foreclosed and sold and we will finally write the last chapter on the right way to finance the American dream. Hint, it is not with zero down and escalating payments to anyone with a pulse, regardless of income.

Foreign markets had a pretty good show of it last week too. Seems that many of the ‘crises’ of the last few months aren’t going away, but aren’t getting worse either. The basic cyclical drive of the economy appears to be driving the prices higher. Japan seems like the only stick in the mud among developed markets and India plays that role among leading emerging markets, nearly everybody else went up last week.

Bonds were a different story. Treasury bonds slipped last week on disappointing auctions for 10-year and 30-year bonds. The weakness in Treasuries cast a pall over most of the high grade bond sectors, but high yield followed stocks instead. Foreign bond markets were generally weak in the developed world, but mixed in emerging markets.

Real estate securities had a pretty good week with nearly everyone everywhere participating in the bull market.

Commodities were there usual mixed selves with weakness in energy and some ag categories and strength in industrial and precious metals.

Have a great week.
