Welcome to the ineedhits Search Engine Marketing blog, where we share the latest search engine and online marketing news, releases, industry trends and great DIY tips and advice.
Microsoft have launched a new homepage for their search engine, Live Search, which they claim has received positive feedback from customers in trials last month. The search engine now features a changing background image and "hotspots" that feature search queries related to the image displayed.
Hotspots are interactive areas of the image that light up and suggest search results related to the highlighted area. I've included a screenshot of the new homepage below together with the "hotspot" technology.
If you want to see the new page for yourself, you can visit the U.S. version of the live search homepage here. Non U.S. users may have to change their country to the United States in order to see these changes.
Webmasters should note that these changes are purely cosmetic, and Microsoft has not mentioned any update with regards to their search algorithm or ranking of search results.
Personally, I find the homepage to be a rip-off of Ask.com (see comparison below) with a distracting gimmick. To me, the sole purpose of a search engine is to connect users with information they're looking for, so I can't help but think that these "hotspots" will merely be a distraction along the way.
I'd rather see Windows Live Search with a clean simple design and work on improving their search quality. What do you think?

Stress At Work May Contribute to Type 2 Diabetes Risks
Stress at work can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This research was recently published to the publication, Diabetes Care, for its August 2014 issue. The study compared two sets of individuals, one set that had admitted to having to deal with stress on the job and a second group that was not dealing with stress on the job. The results were then compared to see if there were any differences between the two groups.

Hope your internet problems are soon sorted!

Just when we thought he was out, Allen Iverson pulls himself back in.
Iverson, a 26.7 a game scorer but out of the NBA since 2010, is feeling the tug to get back to the show.
The 36-year-old superstar said he's ready to play any role a team needs. That includes coming off the bench, a situation he balked at previously.
"Everybody made a big thing about me not wanting to come off the bench, but I said that at that point because it never happened to me in my life and it was something new to me, and obviously I didn't know how to handle it," Iverson told Dei Lynam of CSNPhilly.com. " But to be back on the biggest stage is my whole thing and I feel like I have a couple more years left in my career and I want to play. I sat through and watched the whole season and it was tough for me. Now I just try to do what I have to do to be physically and mentally able to get back on the stage."

Using the recommendation of the AAA book, we headed out to see this place during a few days' stay in the Miami area. We arrived at a lodge that bore the Deering name and figured that was where we needed to go. We found a young guy at the desk who told us this was just the place to go if you were booking an event or camp. So, we had to head around the corner to find what we were looking for. The two houses on the property are deserted and, although they do offer tours, if you don't happen to arrive at the right time, there is no one to give any background or narrative on the place. The rooms are basically empty and there is not much to see. The grounds are beautiful and you can bring in a picnic to eat by the water. But, after wandering around the houses we figured we were all set and it was time to go. We could have easily skipped this visit.

By Stacey Richter
> IF IT'S BEEN a while since you've seen a henchmen stabbed through the eye with a Bic pen, perhaps it's time to take in a movie by Takeshi Kitano, a.k.a. Beat Takeshi, the iconoclastic celebrity director of Japan (see this week's "Media Mix" column for details). Takeshi's films are known for their slow, contemplative pace, broken occasionally by bursts of incredible violence. The effect is Peckinpah at a tea ceremony, only weirder.
Fireworks (Hana-Bi) stars Takeshi Kitano (who also writes, edits, and directs) as Nishi, a cop who weathers a hurricane of bad luck with an impassive expression that varies only according to whether his sunglasses are on or off. With all of the interest of a librarian checking out books, Nishi masterminds a bank robbery and perforates legions of loan sharks--at least, when he isn't caring for his slowly dying wife, Miyuki (Kayoko Kishimoto). Post-robbery, loaded with stolen funds, Nishi takes Miyuki on a minivan tour of the Japanese countryside, enjoying a period of happiness beneath the austere silhouette of Mount Fuji.
Takeshi's acting has led him to be called the Japanese Charles Bronson, and he dispenses kindness to his wife and retribution to bad guys with a deadpan face that's as compelling as it is frustrating to read. Though the plot occasionally grows illogical (good and bad guys track Nishi's minivan through the countryside with the ease of television crews tracking O.J.'s doomed crawl), there's something about Takeshi's blankness that seems genuine and encourages one to mentally fill in the plot holes.
Interestingly, the most powerful part of the film doesn't include Nishi at all; it's an extended subplot concerning his partner, Horibe (Ren Osugi), who after being crippled in the line of duty rehabilitates himself through painting. The strange, beautiful, and sometimes awful paintings he creates are in fact the work of Takeshi, who took up the brush himself after being seriously injured in a motorbike crash.
The visual style of Fireworks reiterates the bright bursts on plain backgrounds found in his paintings. Takeshi is a flamboyant kind of minimalist: A quiet soundtrack, static shots, and spare dialogue are combined with dizzying flashbacks and blood-soaked garments to warn us that contentment and joy may be gained, but only at great sacrifice.

Is it too early to ask the doctor for a blood hcG?
I have an appointment to follow up with my doctor from being in the hospital on Wednesday, at which point I will be about 3 weeks from my last period, i think 8 days dpo.. Is that too early to ask her to do a blood test? its important that we know asap if I'm pregnant because of my other health issues that are going on right now...
Comment deleted
Thats what I'm thinking. I mean, we were told not to try this month, but I wasn't watching my ovulation so this may be a happy accident (after trying for 10 months, lol) BUT it's important we know because of the medications I'm taking for my stomach condition, I still have a few days of antibiotics and depending on what happens with my blood work at my appointment I may have to have more...
This could be an amazing accident..
This could be an amazing accident..
I would definitely tell them that you need to know. It may be too early, but it may not be too... So I would ask just in case, especially if other health issues are there. Fingers crossed that they work with you.
I mean, I know she'll run it if I ask but..oh man. lol. Maybe being told not to try was what I needed to be relaxed enough to actually get pregnant..
Comment deleted
Thats what I'm thinking.
I say it doesn't hurt to ask and I'm sure your doctor will want to know as soon as possible too.

In the online role-playing game World of Warcraft, the world is divided into several continents and each continent is divided into regions. The Burning Steppes is a volcanic region located in the Eastern Kingdoms, north of the Redridge Mountains and south of the Searing Gorge. The Badlands is a region in Khaz Modan in the Eastern Kingdoms, accessible from the Searing Gorge and Loch Modan. Traveling from the Badlands to the Burning Steppes can be accomplished on foot, although it is easier and faster with a mount.
Travel south from the Loch Modan entrance to the Badlands until you reach Hammertoe's Digsite.
Head west from Hammertoe's Digsite until you reach the area where Kargath is located. You will pass Angor Fortress and The Dustbowl.
Go south from Kargath until you locate the path to the Searing Gorge. It can be difficult to see. If you are using a map add-on, it is located at the coordinates of 5 and 60 on the map.
Travel through the pass and into the Searing Gorge.
Go west through the Searing Gorge until you reach Blackrock Mountain. Enter through the double doors.
Travel down the long entrance hallway into the depths of Blackrock Mountain. Stay to the right when you reach The Molten Span and go through the door on the right side of the path.
Walk straight through the hallway and you will emerge in the Burning Steppes.
Tips & Warnings
- Stick to the paths as much as possible if you want to avoid enemies.
- Enemy mobs range from level 35 in the Badlands to level 58 in the Burning Steppes. This route is not recommended if you are below level 50.

Newspaper- The Grand Rapids Press Date- Saturday Janurary 15, 2005 By Sylvia Krissoff Fine Arts It's hard to believe that the array of art on display at the Lowell Chamber of Commerce is the work of one person. But it is. It belongs to Amy Stielstra, who, a year ago, decided to give up her work in graphics and illustration to devote full time "to her passion for fine art." Who would believe the charming charcoal drawing "Safe," the animated girl on a swing in watercolor, and the several pieces from "Screaming Lady" are from the same artist? What you do realize is Stielstra is a very competent draftsman, and she also is interested in the exploration of material, surface and content. You might call her eclectic with her mix of styles and media. She has used charcoal, oils, acrylics, watercolor, inks and collage. No one style captures all her moods.

IdeaLearning Group Case Study: Northwest Community Credit Union
Northwest Community Credit Union was founded in 1949 and remains a member-owned, not-for-profit organization with branches throughout Oregon. Nearly everyone who lives or works in the state is eligible for membership and can benefit from a full range of financial products and services.
Northwest Community is a great example of IdeaLearning Group's success in embedding ourselves in our clients' workplace in order to produce the most effective, results-driven experiences for our clients and their learners. Since we began working with Northwest Community Credit Union in February 2012, IdeaLearning Group has managed a wide range of projects, including training courses focused on new employee orientation, software training, and management development. In just a short while, our team has become an integral part of the extended Northwest Community family.
And because we've spent time really getting to know the NW Community culture, values, and mission, we consistently make valuable recommendations to train staff members as they transform and roll out their new business model and supporting programs.
LoansPQ Training
Northwest Community Credit Union needed database training for the new LoansPQ system, which is a web-based consumer loan management application that allows effective cross-sell of loan products to consumers. The purpose of the training was to introduce the concept of computer-generated loans and to provide practice using the new loan system. The training program included two-hour webinar sessions with supporting materials. The timeline was aggressive—six weeks from concept to completion—and IdeaLearning Group partnered very closely with Northwest Community to ensure content integrity and a smooth roll-out.
The program manager for Northwest Community Credit Union reports great success with the program.
"The results have been phenomenal," he said. "We initially set up a 'war room' to prepare for what we assumed would be a flood of support calls as our staff went live with the new system. But it was almost a non-event! We answered fewer than 20 calls a day, although we were prepared with four full-time help desk staff members. The training and the supporting materials provided were a key component to the success of our launch. We hit this one out of the park!"
eXperience Culture Training
Northwest Community Credit Union needed to roll out a new training program designed to empower employees to deliver consistently delightful experiences to members, have better conversations more often among branch staff and managers, and improve the effectiveness of their decisions. The training also focused on demystifying the complexity of bank regulation that is added to the industry—layer after layer, year after year—so that staff members can help customers feel more comfortable with the risk and regulation inherent in banking.
The training program involved a series of sessions with managers and assistant managers, who participated in the training and shared it with their staff members. The program manager describes the overwhelming success of the program.

Once upon a time, most of the main characters in fairy tales were destitute and starving. As vivid as our childhood memories may be of fairy food, strawberries in snow, and houses made of gingerbread, as often as not, the main role of food in fairy tales is actually to be missing. If they are not royalty, the characters in these tales are scraping by on a diet of dry bread and gruel. Hansel and Gretel's parents are so impoverished they decide to abandon their children in the woods with just a crust of bread. Hunger is what sets fairy-tale plots in motion.
Scholars will be quick to point out that this echoes the real-world situation of the societies where these stories arose; Maria Tatar, a scholar of fairytales and editor of a 2012 collection of Grimm's tales, explains that "the tales had their origins in a culture where famine was common and life was nasty, brutish, and short." Yet somehow the threat in these stories can affect us emotionally now, even if we have never experienced extreme physical want. The sense of lack that drives the action in fairy tales speaks to any sense of lack we feel that sends us searching for meaning and fullness in life.
As fairy-tale plots progress and hungry characters venture into the woods, food begins to play a number of different roles—an important one of these is as a form of temptation. Think of the climax of "Snow White." It is obvious to connect the snake's temptation of Eve with fruit in the Garden of Eden and Snow White's wicked stepmother tempting her with the rosy-red half of a poisoned apple. But the parallel is not perfect. Snow White is not seduced by a fruit that comes with the offer of something forbidden, like the knowledge of good and evil. The poison apple follows on the heels of a poison comb, and a lace for her bodice (which the stepmother ties tightly enough to suffocate her). Snow White is not seeking the forbidden or giving in to temptation, but rather guilelessly accepting pretty things, over-trusting a stranger. Unlike literary characters who give in to the temptation of eating something excessive or forbidden and are punished for being covetous of what they don't need, the characters in fairy tales are starving and tempted to take bread, herbs, root vegetables, or ramps. (It turns out that Rapunzel's mother is as ramp-crazed as we are; versions of the tale have her craving ramps, wild radish-like root vegetables (rampion), plums, and parsley.) They are not giving in to the obscene, but they are unable to control their basic hunger; they seek to fill their emptiness by taking from strangers without first assessing the danger of their decision.
On the other hand, good-hearted fairy godmother-like figures sometimes bestow upon the hungry hero or heroine a magical object that can, if asked with the right magical phrase, lay out enough meat, porridge, or bread to fill the hero's belly and the bellies of others he or she meets along their way. Often the object is a tablecloth, a pot, or even an animal, like a goat or bull. In "One-Eye, Two-Eyes, and Three-Eyes," sweet and industrious Two-Eyes receives a magical goat that gives her as much food as she needs. With meals ensured, she is able to combat the malice of her jealous sisters. Even when the sisters kill the goat, Two-Eyes takes the entrails—the nourishing but undesirable bits the sisters are too fine to desire—and buries them; in their place grows a tree bearing silver and gold that only she can pick. This wins her the attention of a knight who whisks her away from her terrible family. Control of food resources gives power over your destiny.
Cooking ability also represents a character's power to control or transform. Stith Thompson, in his Motif-Index of Folk-Literature, lists a whole subgenre of fairy tales in which young heroes or heroines who are capable enough in the kitchen are therefore able to trick their captors (usually a witch or an ogre, sometimes an animal like a wolf) into peering closer and closer into a boiling pot or roasting oven until they can be pushed right in. This is how the witch gets her comeuppance in "Hansel and Gretel," and how the main character in Smørrebukk (Butterball), one of my favorite Norwegian fairy tales, defeats the troll hag who intends to cook him for supper. Even though the heroes of these stories have originally been tricked or forced into captivity, in the kitchen they are able to take back control. The message of these stories is that no matter how young or small you are (or feel), you have the resources within you to transform your situation. This symbolic role of finding your own strength in the kitchen will sound familiar to anyone who has read popular books like Julie and Julia, Like Water for Chocolate, or Eat, Pray, Love; in each of these books, the main character finds an outlet for self-expression and self-realization through cooking and eating, thus transforming her situation. "Cooking…is a metamorphic (and therefore magical) experience that involves a creation of something new out of a set of ingredients," explains Natalia Andrievskikh in an essay in the journal Studies in Popular Culture.
Not all characters threatened with being eaten manage to cook their captor; some—many, actually—are consumed. Little Red Riding Hood, Tom Thumb, the Seven Kids, the little boy in "The Juniper Tree": they all get eaten. But in the fairy-tale world, being eaten is not the same as being killed (at least, if you're the good guy)—rather, it is just one more means of transformation. Whether they were gobbled up whole or chopped to bits, characters pop out of the belly of the beast unscathed. Or, if not quite unscathed, they are at least reborn as a plant or a bird that can sing songs revealing who the villain is (and, once the villain is exposed, the original character springs back to life). Maria Tatar draws a connection between these transformations and universal conceptions of the circle of life. As she writes, "We start with myths of creation, which often feature dismemberment and reconstitution of bodies….Fairy tales give us loss and restitution in powerful ways. Even if you suffer mutilation, there is regeneration and the promise of resurrection."
There is no ambiguity or need for lit theory in the interpreting the feasts at the end of many fairy tales. When the hero and the princess are wed, or the lost prince returns to his kingdom, or the wandering child returns home, or the heroine finds her fiancé that had been stolen by a witch—when all that ought to be has finally come to pass—that is when fairy-tale characters feast. The symbolism of food and cooking in culture and in fairy tales speak to our ways of exploring and defining ourselves, and the feast—eating together, sharing food in celebration—is triumphant, an assertion of plenty over want, of order over chaos, and of our better natures over our baser natures. For all the treasures and kingdoms fairy-tale heroes might win, the greatest good is the full belly and the sharing of food with others. And then, they can live happily ever after.

BREAKING: Bob Smith, a radical former U.S. Senator from New Hampshire, just announced he's running against Jeanne.
His announcement comes just days after the Republican National Committee's first attacks. Deep-pocketed special interests, including those led by Karl Rove, have been waiting for this. With Smith, they have a candidate who has won statewide here before.
They'll spend and say anything to defeat Jeanne. We have to take this seriously – we won't win without a grassroots team to fight every attack.
Right now, we've set a $15,000 rapid response goal to be ready for the first attack. We can't reach it without your immediate support.
Click here to contribute $5 or more today to make sure we have what we need to fight back and reelect Jeanne.
Smith epitomizes the Tea Party: he's voted to overturn Roe v. Wade and cosponsored a federal ban on abortion with no exceptions – not even for incest or rape.
But extreme as he is, we can't take anything for granted. Jeanne's the only Democratic senator elected in New Hampshire in 30 years.
Thank you,
Kari Thurman
Friends of Jeanne Shaheen

I've been running a few Apache installations on Windows XP for 2+ years without such issues. There is a problem in some PHP versions below 4.3.4, that kills (and restarts) Apache on concurrent requests. Can you reproduce it without loading php4_module? If so, it might be related to rotatelogs, so see if you can make it go away by disabling it. A possible theory is that the random crashes is caused by PHP, and the restart hanging is caused by rotatelogs.

This summer is seeing a changing of the guard at three local congregations — Reform, Conservative and unaffiliated — as three new rabbis start this month.
At Temple Israel in Alameda, where Rabbi Allen Bennett recently retired after 16 years on the bimah, Rabbi Barnett Brickner has taken over. He started at the 92-year-old Reform synagogue, which has 135 member families, on July 1.
Brickner, who has been a rabbi for 25 years, comes from strong stock. His grandfather, also named Barnett, was a rabbi of national prominence in the 1920s through '50s and his father, Balfour, was a leading rabbi in the Reform movement for many years. Not only that, but his grandmother Rebecca was a founding member of Hadassah in 1912.
Brickner hit the ground running at Temple Israel. He presided over a bar mitzvah his first weekend on the job, and also rode on the temple float in Alameda's 4th of July Parade.
"It was a great beginning on the West Coast for the rabbi and his family," said Cindy Berk, Temple Israel's president.
Brickner, his wife, Erin, and their son Sam (their three other children are in college) moved to Alameda last month from Columbus, Ohio, where he served as a hospital chaplain at the Ohio State Medical Center for three years. During that time, he also worked part time as a congregational rabbi at Temple Beth Israel-Shaare Zedek in Lima, Ohio, about 100 miles from Columbus.
Born in Washington D.C., Brickner studied political science at New England College in New Hampshire and later worked for New York City, helping the municipal government renovate low-income housing. He was ordained at the Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion in 1987.
In Walnut Creek, at Conservative-affiliated Congregation B'nai Shalom, recently ordained Rabbi Aderet Drucker is set to take up her post on Monday, July 23.
She will lead about 300 families at the synagogue, which traces its roots to 1948. It has been without a full-time pulpit rabbi since last year, when Rabbi Elon Sunshine departed as senior rabbi.
Drucker graduated in May from the rabbinical school at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York City, where she was awarded the Gladstein Fellowship in Entrepreneurial Rabbinic Leadership.
While living in White Plains, N.Y., as a rabbinic intern-in-residence for Temple Israel Center for two years, she also traveled to Tallahassee, Fla., where she served as the rabbi at Congregation Shomrei Torah, visiting once a month and during the High Holy Days.
Drucker is a first-generation American whose parents are both Israeli. She grew up in Los Angeles and said she started considering joining the rabbinate during her freshman year at UCLA, where she graduated with a degree in biological anthropology. She later served as the director of youth programs at Sinai Temple in Los Angeles.
At Gan HaLev: The Jewish Congregation of the San Geronimo Valley, Rabbi Elisheva Salamo has become the central Marin County congregation's first-ever rabbi. She began her job, which is part-time and mostly on weekends, on July 1.
The congregation, founded in 1992 as an independent and unaffiliated group, consists of 50 families and a few dozen others that participate; services and events are held at a community center. It mainly draws people from west Marin and Fairfax.
A San Francisco native, Salamo graduated from Reed College in Portland with a degree in biology, and went on to earn a Ph.D. in biology from Yale University. She was ordained by the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in 1997 and served as rabbi at Congregation Ner Shalom in Cotati for nine years.
Salamo, who wrote Torah commentaries for j. from 2008 to 2011, said her plan is to continue working at her two other part-time jobs, both in Palo Alto, where she lives. She is the older adults program manager at the Oshman Family JCC and a rabbi at Keddem Congregation.

The most recent Census Estimate<1> was for 2016 and it gives Highland Lake a population of 425 people.
The last Decennial Census<2> was in 2010, giving Highland Lake a population of 412 people.
The town of Highland Lake is located in Blount County. The 2010 Census gave Blount County a population of 57,322 people. This means that Highland Lake had 0.72% of the county's total population, making it Blount's 9th most populous community.
At the same time, Alabama had a population of 4,779,736 people.
When the Census Bureau conducts a census for a town like Highland Lake, they draw a boundary around the area in which they are going to conduct their count - this is called a sampling area (or a polygon). The shape of the sampling area can be quite complex and it's important to keep in mind that the boundaries of the sampling area may or may not match the recognized boundaries of the town.
Things like the population, area and housing for Highland Lake reflect the sampling area. Since the shape of the sampling area and the actual boundaries of Highland Lake might be slightly different, it's best to check with the U.S. Census Bureau if you need precision.
The 2010 Census shows that the sample polygon for Highland Lake has a total area of 1.99 square miles [5.1 km²]. Of this total, 1.63 square miles [4.2 km²] is land, with the balance (17.96%) being water (0.36 square miles [0.9 km²]).
Blount County has a land area of 644 square miles [1,670 km²]. At 1.63 square miles [4.2 km²], Highland Lake has 0.25% of the county's total land area.
Not only does the sampling area define boundaries, it also has a GPS location (latitude & longitude) that indicates a point within the sampling area (usually at the center of the polygon). At the time of the 2010 Census, the sampling area was located at:
Lat: 33° 53' 22" (or 33.89°) [Map]Lon: -86° 25' 21" (or -86.42°)
More information on this topic and the changes between the 2000 Census and the 2010 Census can be found in the section for our Census-to-Census Observations ... (see below).
Using the population (412 people) and land area (1.63 square miles [4.2 km²]) values from the 2010 Census, Highland Lake had a population density of 207.2 people per square mile [80 people/km²].
In comparison, the 2000 Census shows Highland Lake had a population of 408 people and a land area of 1.63 square miles [4.2 km²]. This gives a population density of 205.5 people per square mile [79.3 people/km²]
NOTE: Be aware that when comparing population density between the 2000 and the 2010 Census, there were changes in the sampling area for Highland Lake. You need to be careful when making such a comparison, the differences are likely to lead to a misleading comparison. More information about these differences can be found in the section Census-to-Census Observations ... (see below).
At the time of the 2010 Census, Highland Lake had 252 Housing Units<3> and with its population of 412 people, this averages 1.63 people per Housing Unit.
The 2010 Census shows Highland Lake had a land area of 1.63 square miles [4.2 km²]. This translates to 126.8 Housing Units per square mile [48.94 housing units/km²].
From the Census of 2000: Highland Lake had 226 Housing Units, a population of 408 people and a land area of 1.63 square miles [4.2 km²]. This gives a density of 1.81 people per Housing Unit and 113.8 Housing Units per square mile [43.94 housing units/km²].
NOTE: Repeating the caution above (under Population Density), be aware that when comparing Housing Units between the 2000 Census and the 2010 Census, there were changes in the sampling area for Highland Lake and you need to be careful when comparing numbers between the censuses. More information about the changes can be found in the section called Census-to-Census Observations ... (see below).
The community of Highland Lake is located in Blount County.
The county had a population of 57,322 people at the 2010 Census. With it's population of 412 people, Highland Lake represented 0.72% of the county's total.
In addition, where the town of Highland Lake has a population density of 207.2 people per square mile [80 people/km²], Blount County averages 88.9 people per square mile [34.33 people/km²].

While generally coinciding with the GPS location (latitude/longitude) of Highland Lake, the latitude and longitude given by the Census Bureau actually indicates the GPS location of the polygon for Highland Lake.
For the 2010 Census, the location was given as:
Lat: 33.889678° (or 33°53'22" N) [Map]Lon: -86.422760° (or -86°25'21" W)

Lat: 33.884271° (or 33°53'3" N) [Map]Lon: -86.422151° (or -86°25'19" W)
The difference indicates that the U.S. Census Bureau moved the location of the polygon for the 2010 Census 1,979 feet to the north<5> of the location that was used in the 2000 Census.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN) have assigned a unique GNIS identifier (#2405832) to Highland Lake. This identifier also marks a GSP point on the map, and that point lies within the boundaries of Highland Lake. The GNIS point has been mapped to the latitude/longitude:

It must have been a community organizer's finest hour:
Oh, if only those who called for this president to fail had been heard.
Unfortunately, he has succeeded. After three years as leader of the free world (and time as a U.S. senator) he must have been overwhelmed with disgust at the notion that all of his rhetoric inciting class warfare and his conjuring up dissent and animosity were in vain. But alas, those efforts were not in vain.
He must have felt a sudden tingle, when from on high, he looked out across the American landscape to see demonstrations in the streets: on Wall Street, on the Brooklyn Bridge, in Boston at the Bank of America and westward through the Chicago financial district, over to Denver and on to Los Angeles. Coast-to-coast angst!
Protests! Protests against the rich! Protests against social inequity! Protests because the rich get rich on the backs of the poor! (Explain that again?)
Protests against corporate greed! Protests because protests are "in" — very Euro! Protests!
He got his Greece. He got his Italy. He got his very own London. Spokeswoman Roseanne Barr has called for the beheading of bankers and those wealthy miscreants who will not fork up personal assets in excess of $l00 million.
Yes, in only three years he has transformed from the "Unifier" to the "Divide and Conqueror."
His peasantry is marching with pitchforks ... finally!
But you know? A whole-nother mob will be marching in November 2012. That's when the real fun begins. …

It really is in without doubt that stability of trade which will be occasionally symbolized as (NX) is referred to as the essential difference between the value of export and import of result in an economic climate over a specific period. It may also been seen as the partnership between the country's import and exports. If the stability has a confident indicator, it really is called a trade excess, i.e. if it includes exporting a lot more than is brought in and a trade shortage or a trade gap if the reverse is the case. The Balance of trade may also be divided in to a goods and a site stability. It encompasses the game of exports and imports. It really is expected that a country would you more of exports than imports appears a huge potential for appreciating a balance of trade excess in its economy a lot more than its counterpart would you the alternative.
Economists and Government bureaus make an effort to monitor trade deficits and surpluses by tracking as many transactions with foreign organizations as you possibly can. Economists and Statisticians collect receipts from customized workplaces and routinely total imports, exports and financial transactions. The full bookkeeping is known as the 'Balance of Payments'- this can be familiar with calculate the balance of trade which almost always end up in a trade excess or shortage.
Pre-Contemporary understanding of the functioning of this stability of trade informed the commercial guidelines of early modern Europe that are grouped in heading 'mercantilism'.
Mercantilism could be the economic doctrine in which federal government control over foreign trade is of important importance for guaranteeing the prosperity and armed forces security of this condition. Particularly, it demands a confident stability of trade. Its primary purpose was to increase a nation's wide range by imposing federal government regulation regarding all country's commercial interest. It absolutely was believed that national energy could possibly be maximized by limiting imports via tariffs and maximizing export. It encouraged even more exports and discouraged imports to be able to gain trade stability benefit that could ultimately culminate into trade excess the nation. Indeed, this has been the typical practice of this western world in which these people were in a position to gain trade superiority over their colonies and third-world nations eg Australia, Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, as well as other nations in Africa many countries. It is nonetheless exactly why they nonetheless enjoy lots of trade excess advantage with these nations up till time. It has been made continuously prevalent due to the decreased technical-know exactly how and ability to produce sufficient and durable around standard items by these nations, a scenario where they entirely count on foreign items to perform their economy and a lot of times, their moribund industries have emerged counting on foreign import to endure.
What exactly is Trade Surplus?
Trade Surplus can be defined as a financial measure of a confident stability of trade where a country's export exceeds its imports. A trade excess represents a net inflow of domestic money from foreign markets and is the alternative of a trade shortage, which will express a net outflow.
Investopedia further explained the concept of trade excess as when a country has a trade excess; this has control of nearly all its money. This causes a reduction of risk for the next nation attempting to sell this money, that causes a drop in its price, if the money manages to lose price, it creates it higher priced to shop for imports, causing a much a better imbalance.
A Trade excess often creates a scenario where excess only grows (due to the rise in the worthiness of this country's money making imports cheaper). There are many arguments against Milton Freidman's belief that trade imbalance will correct themselves normally.
What exactly is Trade Deficit?
Trade Deficit can be seen as a financial measure of unfavorable stability of trade-in which a country's imports exceeds its export. It really is this is the excess of imports over exports. As usual in Economics, there are numerous various views of trade shortage, based who you communicate with. They may be regarded as either great or bad or both immaterial with respect to the situation. But couple of economists believe trade deficits are always great.
Economists which start thinking about trade shortage becoming bad feels that a country that regularly operates a present account shortage is borrowing from abroad or attempting to sell off capital assets -long term assets-to finance current purchases of goods and solutions. They genuinely believe that continuous borrowing isn't a viable future strategy, which attempting to sell future assets to finance current usage undermines future manufacturing.
Economists which start thinking about trade shortage great colleagues these with positive economic development, particularly, greater levels of earnings, customer confidence, and investment. They believe trade shortage makes it possible for the United States to import capital to finance investment in effective ability. Far from hurting employment as is earlier in the day sensed. They even hold the view that trade shortage funded by foreign investment in america assist to boost U.S employment.
Some Economists see the concept of trade shortage as only phrase of customer preferences and also as immaterial. These economists usually equate economic well-being with rising usage. If customers wish brought in food, garments and automobiles, why should never they purchase them? That ranging of Choices sometimes appears as them as signs and symptoms of a successful and powerful economy.
Possibly the best and a lot of suitable view about Trade shortage could be the balanced view. If a trade shortage represents borrowing to finance current usage in place of future investment, or results from inflationary stress, or erodes U.S employment, then it's bad. If a trade shortage fosters borrowing to finance future investment or reflects rising earnings, confidence and investment-and does not hurt employment-then it's great. If trade shortage merely expresses consumer preference in place of these phenomena, then it ought to be treated as immaterial.
How exactly does a Trade excess and Deficit Arise?
A trade excess occurs when nations sell even more items than they import. Alternatively, trade deficits arise when nations import a lot more than they export. The worthiness of goods and solutions brought in much more shipped is taped on country's version of a ledger known as the 'current account'. A confident balance indicates the world holds a surplus. In line with the Central Intelligence department Work reality guide, China, Germany, Japan, Russia, And Iran tend to be web Creditors countries. Examples of nations with a deficit or 'net debtor' countries tend to be United States, Spain, the United Kingdom and Asia.
Difference between Trade Surplus and Trade Deficit
a country is thought to have trade excess when it exports a lot more than it imports. Alternatively, a country has a trade shortage when it imports a lot more than it exports. A country might have an overall trade shortage or excess. Or simply just have with a specific country. Either circumstances provides problems at high amounts over-long periods of time, but a surplus is generally a confident development, while a deficit sometimes appears as unfavorable. Economists observe that trade imbalances of either kind are typical and necessary in worldwide trade.
Competitive Benefit Of Trade Surplus and Trade Deficit
Through the 16th and eighteenth Century, eu Countries believed that the only way to participate in trade were through exporting of as many goods and services as you possibly can. That way, Countries always transported a surplus and maintained huge pile of gold. Under this system called the 'Mercantilism', the succinct encyclopedia of Economics describes that countries had an aggressive benefit insurance firms adequate money in the event a war broke aside to be able to manage to Self-sustain its populace. The interconnected Economies of this twenty-first century due to the rise of Globalization indicates Countries have actually brand-new concerns and trade concerns than war. Both Surpluses and deficits have actually their advantages.
Trade Surplus Advantage
Countries with trade excess have actually a few competitive benefit s insurance firms excess reserves in its present Account; the world gets the money to buy the assets of other nations. For Instance, China and Japan make use of their Surpluses to buy U.S bonds. Buying the debt of other countries allows the client a degree of governmental impact. An October 2010 New York circumstances article describes exactly how President Obama must regularly participate in discussions with China about its $28 Billion shortage with the country. Likewise, the United States hinges its ability to consume on China's continuing purchase of U.S assets and inexpensive items. Holding a surplus also provides a cash movement with which to reinvest in its equipment, labour power and economy. In this regard, carrying a surplus is similar to a business making a profit-the excess reserves create possibilities and alternatives that countries with debts fundamentally have actually by virtue of debts and obligations to repay factors.
Trade Deficits Advantage
George Alessandria, Senior Economist the Philadelphia Federal Reserve describes trade deficits also indicate a competent allocation of Resources: moving the production of goods and services to China allows U.S businesses to allocate additional money towards its core competences, eg analysis and development. Debt also allows nations to defend myself against even more committed undertakings and just take higher risks. Though the U.S not any longer produces and export as many goods and services, the countries stays very innovative. As an example, Apple pays its employees additional money to develop a Selling, Cutting Edge items given that it outsources the production of items to nations overseas.
In this part, efforts were made to describe some of the issues regarding stability of trade and trying to X-ray some of the arguments towards trade balances and imbalances with a view to finding responses for some salient concerns and making for appropriate understanding of the concept of trade balances excess and shortage which will be fast getting a major problem on earth's economy today which scholars like John Maynard Keynes earlier in the day predicted.
In a bid to finding an answer for this, we shall be speaking about from the following sub-headings;
(a). Conditions where trade imbalances is problematic.
(b). Conditions where trade imbalances might not be challenging.
2.1. Conditions where trade imbalances is challenging
People who ignore the ramifications of long haul trade deficits is complicated David Ricardo's principle of relative benefit with Adam Smith's principle of absolute benefit, particularly disregarding the latter. The economist Paul Craig Roberts notes that the relative benefit concepts produced by David Ricardo try not to hold where elements of manufacturing tend to be globally cellular. Global labor arbitrage, a phenomenon explained by economist Stephen S. Roach, where one country exploits the inexpensive labor of some other, would be an instance of absolute benefit which is not mutually advantageous. Since the stagflation of this 1970s, the U.S. economy is characterized by reduced GDP development. In 1985, the U.S. started its developing trade shortage with China. Within the long haul, countries with trade surpluses tend also to have a savings excess. The U.S. generally speaking has reduced savings rates than its trading partners, which are apt to have trade surpluses. Germany, France, Japan, and Canada have actually maintained greater savings rates as compared to U.S. over the long haul.
Few economists genuinely believe that GDP and employment could be dragged straight down by an over-large shortage over the long haul. Other people genuinely believe that trade deficits are good the economy. The chance price of a forgone tax base may outweigh sensed gains, especially where synthetic money pegs and manipulations can be found to distort trade.
Wealth-producing main industry tasks in U.S. such as those in manufacturing and software have actually usually been replaced by far lower having to pay wealth-consuming tasks such as those in retail and federal government in solution industry if the economy restored from recessions. Some economists contend that the U.S. is borrowing to invest in consumption of imports while amassing unsustainable quantities of debt.
In 2006, the primary economic concerns dedicated to: high national debt ($9 trillion), high non-bank business debt ($9 trillion), high home loan debt ($9 trillion), high lender debt ($12 trillion), high unfunded Medicare liability ($30 trillion), high unfunded personal Security liability ($12 trillion), high additional debt (amount owed to foreign loan providers) and a serious deterioration in america web worldwide investment position (NIIP) (-24% of GDP), high trade deficits, and a rise in unlawful immigration.
These issues have actually raised concerns among economists and unfunded liabilities were discussed as a serious issue facing the United States in President's 2006 State of this Union target. On Summer 26, 2009, Jeff Immelt, the CEO of General Electrical, required the U.S. to boost its manufacturing base employment to 20% of this staff, commenting that the U.S. has outsourced a lot of in certain areas and that can not any longer count on the financial industry and customer investing to push need.
2.2. Conditions where trade imbalances might not be challenging
Tiny trade deficits are generally not regarded as being bad for either the importing or exporting economy. But when a national trade imbalance expands beyond prudence (generally speaking regarded as a few [clarification required] percent of GDP, for quite a while), adjustments tend to happen. While unsustainable imbalances may continue for long times (cf, Singapore and New Zealand's surpluses and deficits, correspondingly), the distortions probably be caused by huge flows of wide range out-of one economy and into another tend to become intolerable.
In simple terms, trade deficits tend to be paid for out-of foreign exchange reserves, and will continue until such reserves tend to be depleted. At such a spot, the importer cannot continue steadily to purchase a lot more than comes abroad. It is likely to have trade price ramifications: a-sharp reduced price in shortage economy's trade price with the surplus economy's money changes the general price of tradable items, and facilitate a return to stabilize or (much more likely) an over-shooting into excess one other path.
Much more complexly, an economic climate is struggling to export adequate items to pay for its imports, it is capable of finding funds elsewhere. Service exports, like, are more than sufficient to pay for Hong Kong's domestic items export shortfall. In poorer nations, foreign aid may fill the gap while in rapidly building economies a capital account excess usually off-sets a current-account shortage. There are a few economies where transfers from nationals working abroad add somewhat to spending money on imports. The Philippines, Bangladesh and Mexico tend to be types of transfer-rich economies. Finally, a country may partly rebalance by usage of quantitative reducing at home. This calls for a central lender buying back once again future federal government bonds from other domestic finance institutions without reference to the attention price (which will be usually reduced when QE is called for), really enhancing the money offer. This debases the area money but in addition reduces the debt owed to foreign creditors – effectively "exporting rising prices"
Elements that may impact the stability of trade include;
1. The price of manufacturing, (land, labour, capital, fees, rewards, an such like) in exporting along with the importing economy.
2. The fee and accessibility to recycleables, advanced items and inputs.
3. Exchange price motion.
4. Multi horizontal, bi-lateral, and unilateral fees or restrictions on trade.
5. Non-Tariff obstacles eg environmental, Health and safety requirements.
6. The accessibility to adequate foreign exchange with which to pay for imports and rates of goods manufactured at home.
Furthermore, the trade stability is likely to differ over the business cycle in export led-growth (eg oil and early professional items). The total amount of trade will enhance during an economic development.
But with domestic need led development (such as the United States and Australia), the trade stability will intensify during the same stage of this business cycle.
Since the Mid 1980s, the United States has already established an improvement shortage in tradable items, especially with Asian countries eg China and Japan which today hold large sums of U.S debts. Interestingly, the U.S has a trade excess with Australia due to a favourable trade benefit which this has over the latter.
(a) Savings
Economies eg Canada, Japan, and Germany that have savings Surplus Typically operates trade surpluses. China, a top Growth economy has had a tendency to operate trade surpluses. A higher savings price generally speaking corresponds to a trade excess. Correspondingly, the United States with less Savings price has had a tendency to operate high trade deficits, especially with Asian countries.
(b) decreasing import and increasing Export.
Countries such as the U.S and England will be the major proponent for this theory. Additionally it is known as the mercantile theory. A Practice where federal government regulates purely the inflow and outflow from the economy regarding import and export. One major advantageous asset of this theory is that it creates a nation self-sufficient and has a multiplier influence on the entire improvement the nation's whole industry.
Preserving as a method of recognizing trade excess isn't advisable. If a country that is perhaps not saving is trading and multiplying its monetary status, it's going to in an extended run be more useful to them and a downside to a country that is entirely following and counting on the savings policy because the it may appear to be aesthetic in a quick term while the result would be exposed if the activities of this trading nation is yielding profit on investment. This may result in an Economic Tsunami.
A scenario where export is having more value on economy of this receiving country just as Frederic Bastiat posited in its instance, the principle of dropping imports and increasing export would be a fitness in futility. He cited a typical example of where a Frenchman, shipped French wine and brought in British coal, turning a revenue. He expected he had been in France, and sent a cask of wine which was really worth 50 francs to England. The customhouse would capture an export of 50 francs. If, in England, the wine sold for 70 francs (or perhaps the lb equivalent), which he then familiar with purchase coal, which he imported into France, and was discovered becoming really worth 90 francs in France, he'd have made a revenue of 40 francs. However the customhouse will say that the value of imports surpassed that of exports and was trade shortage up against the ledger of France.
A proper understanding of a topic as this can not be attained if views from Notable Scholars that have dwelt onto it previously aren't analyzed.
When you look at the light of this foregoing, it'll be appropriate to assess the views of varied scholars that have posited with this topic in a bid to draw a deductive summary from their argument to offer a template for drawing a summary. This would be explained sequentially as follow;
(a) Frédéric Bastiat on fallacy of trade deficits.
(b) Adam Smith on trade deficits.
(c) John Maynard Keynes on stability of trade.
(d) Milton Freidman on trade shortage.
(e) Warren Buffet on trade shortage.
3.1. Frédéric Bastiat on fallacy of trade deficits
The nineteenth century economist and philosopher Frédéric Bastiat indicated the idea that trade deficits actually were a manifestation of profit, in place of a reduction. He proposed for instance to guess that he, a Frenchman, shipped French wine and brought in British coal, turning a revenue. He expected he had been in France, and sent a cask of wine which was really worth 50 francs to England. The customhouse would capture an export of 50 francs. If, in England, the wine sold for 70 francs (or perhaps the lb equivalent), which he then familiar with purchase coal, which he imported into France, and was discovered becoming really worth 90 francs in France, he'd have made a revenue of 40 francs. However the customhouse will say that the value of imports surpassed that of exports and was trade shortage up against the ledger of France. considering their arguments properly, one could say that it's most adequate having a trade shortage over a trade excess. In this Vain, it really is glaringly apparent that domestic trade or internal trade could switch a supposed trade excess into a trade shortage if the cited illustration of Fredric Bastiat is applied. It was later, in twentieth century, affirmed by economist Milton Friedman.
Internal trade could render an Export value of a country valueless if you don't properly taken care of. A scenario where a products which was in the beginning brought in from country 1 into a country 2 has more value in country 2 than its initial export price from country 1, may lead to a scenario where buying energy would be familiar with purchase even more items in quantity from country 2 which normally would have had a trade excess by virtue of exporting much more in value of the sum the in the beginning brought in items from country 1 thereby making the second to endure much more in export by adding more value toward economy of country 1 that shipped ab-initio. The customhouse will say that the value of imports surpassed that of exports and was trade shortage up against the ledger of nation 1. But in the real feeling of it, nation 1 has benefited trade-wise which will be a revenue toward economy. When you look at the light for this, significant question occurs, 'would the concept of revenue today be smeared or undermined on Alter of this concept of Trade excess or loss? This brings to Mind why Milton Friedman reported 'that some of the concerns of trade shortage tend to be unjust criticisms in an attempt to push macro- economic guidelines favorable to exporting industries'. i.e. to give an undue favour or Advantage to the exporting countries to really make it appear that it's much more viable as compared to less exporting country in worldwide Business books of records. This might be seen as a cosmetic disclosure as it doesn't actually state the appropriate position of things which could possibly be misleading in the wild.
By decrease and absurdum, Bastiat argued that the national trade shortage was an indicator of a successful economy, in place of a failure one. Bastiat predicted that a successful, developing economy would end up in higher trade deficits, and an unsuccessful, shrinking economy would end up in reduced trade deficits. It was later, in twentieth century, affirmed by economist Milton Friedman.
3.2. Adam Smith on trade deficits
Adam Smith who had been the sole propounder of this theory of absolute benefit was of this opinion that trade shortage was nothing to concern yourself with which there's nothing much more outrageous as compared to Doctrine of 'Balance of Trade' which is demonstrated by several Economists today. It absolutely was argued that when for instance, Japan takes place to be the 51st condition of this U.S, we'd perhaps not learn about any trade shortage or imbalance between America and Japan. They further argued that trade imbalance was necessitated by Geographical boundaries amongst countries which can make them see themselves as rivals amongst one another in other to achieve trade superiority among one another which was not necessary. They further posited that if the boundaries between Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario, made any distinction toward residents of the places aside from those obstacles developed by the federal government. They posited that if it was necessary to concern yourself with the trade shortage between the United States and Japan, then possibly it was necessary to concern yourself with the deficits that you can get among states. It further that reported that if the balance of trade doesn't matter during the personal, Neighbourhood, or city level, then it does matter during the nationwide level. After that Adams Smith was Right!.
They observed that it was because of the commercial viability of this U.S that made their buying energy greater than that its Asian counterpart who had been Exporting many importing less than the U.S which it cann't be much better if the U.S got poorer much less ability to purchase services and products from abroad, further saying that it was the commercial issue in Asia that made folks purchase fewer imports.
"into the foregoing, even upon the concepts of this commercial system, it was extremely unneeded to set extraordinary restraints upon the importation of goods from those nations with that the stability of trade is meant becoming disadvantageous. It apparent portrays an image that absolutely nothing, but could be more outrageous than this whole doctrine of this stability of trade, upon which, not only these restraints, but just about all one other laws of trade tend to be launched. When two places trade collectively, this [absurd] doctrine supposes that, if the stability be even, neither of them either loses or gains; however, if it leans in virtually any level to a single part, any particular one of them manages to lose while the other gains in proportion to its declension from the specific balance." (Smith, 1776, guide IV, ch. iii, part ii).
3.3. John Maynard Keynes on stability of trade
John Maynard Keynes was the key author of the 'KEYNES PLAN'. Their view, sustained by many Economists and Commentators at that time was that Creditor Nations ought to be treated as accountable as debtor countries for Disequilibrium in Exchanges which both ought to be under an obligation to carry trade back into circumstances of stability. Failure to allow them to do this could have severe economic consequences. When you look at the terms of Geoffrey Crowther, 'if the Economic commitment that you can get between two countries aren't harmonized fairly near to stabilize, then there's no collection of financial arrangement that may save society from the impoverishing results of chaos. This view could possibly be seen by some Economists and scholars as extremely unjust to Creditors as it won't have value for his or her status as Creditors in line with the undeniable fact that there isn't any clear-cut distinction between them while the debtors. This notion was sensed by many people as an attempt to unclassify Creditors from debtors.
3.4. Milton Freidman on trade shortage
When you look at the 1980s, Milton Friedman who had been a Nobel Prize winning Economist, a Professor while the Father of Monetarism contended that some of the concerns of trade shortage tend to be unjust criticisms in an attempt to push macro- economic guidelines favorable to exporting industries.
He further argued that trade shortage aren't fundamentally as important as high exports improve the value of money, lowering aforementioned exports, and vice versa in imports, therefore normally the removal of trade deficits perhaps not due to investment.
This position is a far more processed version of the theorem very first discovered by David Hume, where he argued that England couldn't permanently gain from exports, because hoarding gold would make gold much more abundant in England; which means price of English items will rise, making them less attractive exports and making foreign items more appealing imports. In this manner, nations exchange stability would balance.
Friedman believed that deficits would be corrected by free markets as drifting money rates rise or fall with time to discourage imports towards the exports. Revising again in favour of imports because the money gains energy.
But again there were brief comings on view of Friedman as many economists argued that their arguments were feasible in a quick run rather than in an extended run. The idea states that the trade shortage, as effective as debt, isn't difficulty whatsoever because the debt must be paid back. They further argued that eventually according to this theory, the constant buildup of an important debt could pose difficulty as it may be quite difficult to cover offset the debt quickly.
Economists in support for Friedman recommended that after the funds drawn-out comes back toward trade shortage country
3.5. Warren Buffet on trade shortage
The effective United states Business Mogul and Investor Warren Buffet was quoted in Associated Press (January twentieth 2006) as stating that 'The U.S trade shortage is a larger risk toward domestic economy than often the federal budget shortage or unsecured debt and might result in governmental chaos… now, the rest of the world is the owner of $3 trillion more of united states than we own of them'. He had been further quoted as stating that 'in result, our economy is behaving like an exceptional rich household that possesses an immense farm. So that you can consume 4% a lot more than we produce-that could be the trade shortage- we have day by day been both attempting to sell bits of the farm and enhancing the home loan on what we nonetheless very own.
Buffet proposed something called 'IMPORT CERTIFICATES' as an answer toward United States issue and make certain balanced trade. He had been further quoted as saying; 'all of those other world is the owner of an astounding $2.5 trillion more of the U.S than we own of this other nations. Several of this $2.5 trillion is committed to claim checks- U.S bonds, both governmental and personal- many this kind of assets as residential property and equity securities.
Import certification is a proposed process to implement 'balanced Trade', and expel a country's trade shortage. The theory was to develop market for transferable import certificate (ICs) that could express the ability to import a specific buck number of items in to the United States. The master plan was that the Transferable ICs would be granted to United States exporters in a sum corresponding to the buck number of the goods they export and so they could simply be utilized once. They may be offered or exchanged to importers which must purchase them so that you can legitimately import items toward U.S. the buying price of ICs tend to be set by free market causes, and for that reason influenced by the balance between business owners' determination to cover the ICs market price for importing items in to the American while the global amount of items shipped from the United States (Supply and Demand).

Dan Reiser's Profile
What I've tried to achieve with my jewelry is to create a pseudo antiquity, reminiscent of mythological gods, lost temples, buried secrets, and distant voyages. I've combined elements of Mayan and Egyptian art with an art deco or futurist feel. Most pieces are cast as fragments. I've always thought that the broken sculptural fragments in museums had a mystery and enigmatic beauty.

As if they weren't encouraged enough by watching the New Orleans Saints drop their second straight home game Sunday, the Ravens learned a day later they won't have to deal with standout rookie wide receiver Brandin Cooks in Week 12.
Cooks suffered a broken thumb that's expected to sideline him at least for a few weeks, meaning the Saints' first-round pick and emerging wideout won't be available when Baltimore travels to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome next Monday night. Of course, New Orleans has a wide array of other weapons in All-Pro tight end Jimmy Graham and wide receivers Marques Colston and Kenny Stills, but the Saints are coming off their lowest scoring output at home since 2006 and Cooks was emerging as their second-best playmaker behind Graham in recent weeks.
He leads all NFL rookies with 53 receptions for 550 yards and three touchdown catches, ranking second on the team behind Graham in all three categories.
The Saints are also banged up in the secondary after losing safety Rafael Bush to a broken fibula in the fourth quarter of their 27-10 loss to Cincinnati. This comes after New Orleans already lost Pro Bowl safety Jairus Byrd for the season last month.
Though their Monday night trip won't be easy with an inexperienced secondary, the Ravens should be feeling much better about their chances with quarterback Drew Brees and the Saints off to an underwhelming 4-6 start and even experiencing inconsistency on the offensive side of the ball at times this season.
