Marketers take a new approach to lung-cancer campaigns, and why that matters
It's borderline idiotic to opine that one disease state receives less respect than others. We're not dealing with athletes or regional cuisine; we're dealing with sick people, many of whom are indirectly harmed when their condition receives less respect — in the form of attention and funding — than the next.
That said, lung cancer sure seems to receive short shrift within oncology. It claims more lives every year than breast, prostate, and colon cancer combined, yet somehow isn't perceived as life-threatening or "bad" as those other diseases.
As witnessed by the very existence of the following campaigns, that's in the process of changing. Each of the approaches is valid and more ambitious than a great majority of the campaigns that preceded them. Here's why they work — and why they matter.
Approach 1
Start with the science: The scariest things tend to be the ones about which we have no knowledge; clearly, cancer fits that description. Even in the Dr. Google era, there remains a sizable knowledge deficit among cancer patients. This gap is even more pronounced within the lung cancer sphere, starting with information as fundamental as whether nonsmokers can suffer from it (of course they can).

Perhaps that's why Merck, in partnership with actor/singer Bellamy Young and a who's who of lung cancer patient advocacy groups, focuses on the science in Test. Talk. Take Action. The awareness campaign is designed to call attention to treatment options for non-small cell lung cancer.
Rather than the usual "here's what you can expect" spiel, the campaign's launch video focuses on biomarkers — specifically, on how biomarkers found in cancer cells can help physicians personalize lung cancer treatment regimens. The campaign assumes a degree of intelligence among its audiences, yet it manages not to come across as cold and clinical. That's a tricky line to toe. Agency: Twist Mktg
Approach 2
Dumb it down: Sometimes the savviest approach is the one that assumes little to no comprehension among target audiences. This may be detested by pharma and healthcare marketers who pride themselves on a depth of knowledge their consumer packaged goods peers can't match, but that's the reality of the situation.

In that spirit, Novartis provides the easiest to comprehend immuno-oncology primer to date in Harnessing the Science of Immuno-oncology at Novartis. No, this explainer video isn't specific to lung cancer, but it approaches its mission by employing the widest of wide-tent tactics — cartoons and euphonic narration.
Might some object to the outfitting of illustrated cancer cells in old-school football helmets? Maybe, but those observers aren't the ones this lively, assured clip is aimed. All pharma marketing should be so accessible. Agency: DNA Communications
Approach 3
Incite revolution: Or at least position your particular effort as something that's bigger than any one brand or organization. There's a tendency in oncology marketing to think small — which, admittedly, makes sense, given the breadth of the therapeutic category. But given lung cancer's second-tier status among cancers, perhaps it's worth attempting not just to rally the troops, but also to pull in social media bystanders?
See also: Novartis sets out to debunk misconception that only smokers get lung cancer
That seems to be the thinking behind Flip to Breathe, a program backed by lung cancer advocacy group Free to Breathe. Hoping to spark a wave of interest and go viral, the campaign encourages anyone and everyone to "flip out": Find a small table, put a bunch of stuff on it and then flip it the "heck over." And here's the important part: You need to film the entire exercise, ideally in slow motion, then circulate it to friends and followers alike with #fliptobreathe.
Flip to Breathe comes across a bit too similar to the Ice Bucket Challenge, plus the how-to video isn't as clever as its creators might think. But still, the campaign boasts an enthusiasm and sense of mission that have too often been lacking within the sphere of lung cancer marketing. Agency: Neon
Approach 4
Tell some stories: Yes, you've heard it all before. You can't count the number of times an earnest pharma or healthcare marketer has suggested this line of attack to combat the industry's perceptual woes. It speaks to a profound lack of imagination and even naïveté within the industry.
See also: Shire taps Jennifer Aniston for awareness campaign as it enters the eye care market
But the approach works nicely when pharma companies hand the mic to patients and get out of the way, as AstraZeneca does in its unbranded LVNG with lung cancer campaign. It's hard not to be affected by Stephanie's recollection of the empowerment that came with shaving her head during chemotherapy, or Craig's tribute to the palliative powers of softball and beer. The stories land with more impact when they're told by people with skin in the game.

When I am developing a software, I feel like I am executing a stochastic gradient descent algorithm myself. You start with a large step size: you define a lot of important classes and everything is very flexible at that time. Then, as the # of lines of your code gets larger and larger, your step size gets smaller: you make more of local changes than global changes (ex: let's change the signature of this function so that I can pass this variable...). But just like problems of stochastic approximation, it is difficult and costly to get global estimate of how good your current solution is, so you have to make decision based on a local observation: current feature request by your boss.
Sometimes I feel like I am stuck in local optimum and write everything from scratch to find better solution, but usually when the new implementation is finally done I realize that it is not much better than the previous one. Similar things happen in stochastic gradient descent as well: I have rarely seen you reach a significantly better solution by running it again, although it is a local method. But you've spent 2x more time by re-executing it!
Also, the step-size schedule is very very important. You need to decay it in the right rate. So in SGD you test it on sub-sample. In software engineering you develop prototypes.
You should've inferred at this point that I am a crappy software engineer. Yes I do suck.

HONG KONG - The country's veterinary authorities have reported two new outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian flu in wild birds.
The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) was sent follow-up report no. 11 last week (9 March).
A peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus calidus) was collected on 3 March 2012 at Ma On Shan. The peregrine falcon is a rare winter visitor in Hong Kong.
A black-headed gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) was collected on 2 March 2012 at Tuen Mun. The black-headed gull is a common winter visitor in Hong Kong.
An intensive surveillance system is in place for all poultry farms, poultry markets and pet bird shops in Hong Kong. The H5N1 infected wild birds and goose carcass from unknown source were detected in ongoing surveillance programme on wild birds. The dates of the outbreaks are the same as the dates the birds were collected (i.e. 17 December 2011, 30 December 2011, 1 January 2012, 12 January 2012, 20 January 2012 , 30 January 2012 , 6 February 2012, 7 February 2012, 8 February 2012, 24 February 2012, 25 February 2012, 27 February 2012, 2 March 2012 and 3 March 2012 respectively).
A total of 19,451 poultry, including 15,569 chickens, 810 pigeons, 1,950 pheasants and 1,122 silky fowls were culled in the Cheung Sha Wan Temporary Wholesale Poultry Market on 21 December 2011. The Wholesale Poultry Market was closed. Importation of live poultry and movement of poultry in local farms is banned for 21 days. Read More

Crackie Dearest
Courtney Love must have been reading White Oprah's "What Makes A Good Mother," because she believes that she's a regular June Cleaver. Courtney recently said this to Spinner (via Page Six), "As a little dainty, beautiful baby I just worshipped her, but now she's at an age where we fight, where sometimes she hates me, sometimes I get really mad at her. It's like, 'Oh you must be a bad mother,' No, I'm not a bad mother. I'm a very good mother"
Yeah, because nothing says "Mother of the Year" like a restraining order wrapped up with a Christmas bow on top.
And yesterday, TMZ posted another glittery item on Courtney's good mom resume. Apparently, lawyers in the custody case between Court and 17-year-old Frances Bean asked a judge to seal documents about domestic abuse allegations. The documents state, "In this proceeding, every document reveals details of Frances's (sic) relationship with her mother." They also want Frances' medical records sealed shut.
We don't know the details about these alleged abuse allegations, but I don't like where this is heading. It's like the soup kitchen version of Mommie Dearest. Even if Courtney didn't Joan Crawford Frances Bean, living with her crazy ass full-time would cause anyone to commit an act of domestic abuse on themselves! Just reading Court's Facebook rants makes me want to punch myself in the eyeball.

Rachel Weisz heads to her trailer on the set of The Bourne Legacy. Rachel did a quick outfit change before leaving the set. Her new film, Dream House, premiers this Friday. She stars in the thriller with her husband, Daniel Craig and Naomi Watts.
Rachel changed into a pair of J Brand jeans and a button down before making her way home. These are a great look on Rachel, they're not too skinny but still tight enough to show off her figure. You can buy J Brand jeans online here.

Ironically, it was not originally intended to be a theater, but a tennis court. (You can see the long rows of box seats on either side where an audience would have watched a match). The Lisle Court only became a theater in 1662, before being temporarily closed during the plague in 1665. [There may also have been a murder that occurred there, but somehow that tale has only recently resurfaced :-) ]
In doing my research, I came across the work of Steve Bouler, a theater professional and academic, as well as being an extremely talented designer of virtually reconstructed theatrical playhouses.
It's hard to express how immensely helpful these reconstructions are to a researcher. Since so many of these Renaissance and Restoration playhouses are now gone, we must rely on extant sketches that can be difficult to track down,and even more difficult to interpret.
I know I spend a lot of time looking over faded sketches with teeny print, trying to figure out how everything fits together. But when I came across these reconstructions, I gained a far better sense of how plays would have been staged (and received). You'll understand when you check out Bouler's amazing panoramic reconstructions! Check it out!

Many big tech companies sponsor so-called "hackathons" where security experts are invited to attack the company's wares in search of vulnerabilities. The winners are rewarded with cash and piles of swag, while the company gets to patch security holes before they become a problem. Everyone wins. Electric car company Tesla uses an unprecidented amount of tech in its vehicles, and now someone is looking to see how secure it is — there's a $10,000 prize on offer at the SyScan conference in Beijing for anyone who can hack a Model S.
The conference takes place July 16-17, and anyone at the conference is welcome to try their hand at compromising the Tesla. There will be a Tesla Model S on site along with some computers for participants to use. Oddly, Tesla itself is not involved directly with the contest, but it does have a separate vulnerability disclosure program.
SyScan organizers haven't provided a ton of details about the rules, but they have given some examples of hacks that would be good enough to win the prize. Causing the car's in-dash browser visit a certain website would count as a win. Gaining full control of the vehicle itself would also (obviously) be good for a payout. That's probably the worst case scenario for Tesla, though — more modest hacks might be worth some money too.
Tesla is notoriously responsive to any perceived or real issue with its cars. When a New York Times reporter claimed poor battery life for the Model S on a test drive, CEO Elon Musk dissected the car's GPS data on the company blog. After a number of fires from damaged underbodies, Tesla installed new puncture-resistant titanium plates. Even if Tesla isn't officially involved with the SyScan contest, I would imagine a Tesla rep will be on site to keep an eye on things.

Open Thread: Everything You're Reading, Watching, Listening To and Looking At
This is your place to talk about the TV, movies, music, books and art that are thoroughly entertaining you.
Like a lot of you, I was curiously riveted by the "American Master" documentary on PBS, about the work and life of Woody Allen. It was cautiously and almost gingerly rendered by director Robert Wiede (best known for his "Curb Your Enthusiasm" work). We get his early, miserable childhood in Brooklyn, his stand-up days and joke writing for Catskills comedians -- his foray into fame, and of course, scandal. And, as we are often reminded, the man plays a mean clarinet.
I know this might make me a suspect human being, but the whole enterprise of talking about Woody Allen films and Woody Allen, the person, reminded me of how much I've separated the two in my head.If you've enjoyed an Elia Kazan film or a Picasso painting, or if you've ever rooted for any sports team whose players have engaged in unethical conduct, you know this particular feeling of conflict.I don't advocate disregarding men who have repulsive personal lives, simply because they're "artists," but I realized that I will probably never abstain from watching a new Woody Allen film because of my feelings for him as a person, or let it color my appreciation for his earlier work. How is it possible that I can be horrified by his behavior, and still support his career?My only explanation is that I have disassociated the movies, even with all of their prurient autobiographical parts, with the more prurient details of Woody Allen himself.
Similarly, I've watched Roman Polanski movies like "Carnage," and not felt sick to my stomach thinking of a young girl in a hot tub at Jack Nicholson's house. I can even munch popcorn and watch "Manhattan" -- where he romances a seventeen-year-old girl -- and not be thinking the entire time, "Gross. This is the road to Soon-Yi."There's some murky gray area that protects talented people -- artists, especially -- that uses their strength of their work as a salve for their misdeeds, or dismisses their perversions as eccentricities, and part of me wants to say, a good movie is a good movie, even when made by a douchebag. Another tries to believe there's the media's story, the culprit's story and then the truth. Take the controversial documentary on Polanski that aired on HBO a few years back. While its goal was ostensibly to paint a clearer picture of a strange and disturbing incident, it was admittedly very pro-Polanski. The details of the event were biased to say that the young girl who Polanski raped (whether or not it was "just" statutory -- which is a horrifying enough qualification to have to make) was a willing participant who was more a victim of a stage mom who willingly left her child in the lion's den.
The film introduced irrelevant details -- like the fact that the victim was not a virgin at the time of her rape -- alongside compelling arguments, like the fact the legal proceedings were marred by the press and a famewhore judge. I watched it with one of my best friends, and got into an all-out drunk argument about whether or not Polanski merited a blanket boycott.
What was made most clear in this documentary is the difficulty of justifying conduct through art, but also the difficulty of dismissing art entirely based on conduct.Now, Woody's scandal is of a different color than Polanski's. For me, his behavior incurs more of a moral, "How the hell could you do that to a woman you love(d) with her kid?" outrage. His affair with his partner's 20-year-old daughter was supposedly discovered when she found nude photos and confronted him while they filming "Husbands and Wives" together. What followed was a lengthy custody battle for their shared children and allegations of child abuse (which were never proven).
In June of last year, Reuters quoted Allen as saying, "What was the scandal? I fell in love with this girl, married her. We have been married for almost 15 years now. There was no scandal, but people refer to it all the time as a scandal and I kind of like that in a way because when I go I would like to say I had one real juicy scandal in my life."
Clearly, I think that's way too easy. But it's how he justifies the behavior to the media.
In the American Master's documentary, he seemed sheepish, but by no means contrite when alluding (very briefly) to the events of the early 90s. He praises Mia Farrow's performances in his films and leaves it at that. Louise Lasser (an early ex-wife) and Diane Keaton (a great love and former muse) have stood by him, and critics have long seen fit to look past the ick factor when assessing his work.
And like, Polanski, Woody Allen kept working, and at some point, the work helped eclipse his personal life. I'm sure plenty of people who see "Chinatown" or "The Pianist" knowing nothing of the headlines that almost destroyed his career. It's possible that fact that Polanski and Allen been so prolific, and that these scandals broke so long ago, may have something to do with why I'm able to watch their films.So, yes. I still pay money to see the work of men who have unquestionably done terrible things. They've broken the law, hurt a lot of people and certainly have clouded their legacies as human beings. But they're also extremely talented writers and directors who can still command some of film's most exciting performers to work with them on a consistent basis.
Woody Allen's career is an unusual case, since so many of his films are baldly autobiographical. But, much in the same way he's stopped appearing in his own films and opted for younger, likeable "Woody Allen, the Character" stand-ins, so has the spectre of "Woody Allen, the person" -- for better or for worse.

I am in awe as I look back over the last few months of having Fred as my life coach! So many beautiful changes have occurred in my life because of Fred's consistent encouragement, support, wisdom, and kindness. His sense of humor and enthusiasm for life helped me to not take myself so seriously. I learned to break free from self doubt and fears that had caused me to shrink back and not explore dreams that I once had. Now I have a new confidence and freedom to dream again and to continue on my life's path to reach new goals. Because Fred believed in me even when I did not, I reached a highly significant goal in my life that I had deemed impossible; all within 3 months! This goal not only affects the future of my career, but it also gives me a true sense of fulfillment in my life. Fred's sincere desire to help me each step of the way, motivated me to stay the course. My life has been deeply impacted by Fred as my life coach and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a significant positive change in their life!
As a small business owner I asked Fred if he would be willing to coach my team of employees. My goal being to become more effective and productive while being compassionate and having fun at work. After a short meeting with Fred I decided to hire him as my personal coach. I am happy to report that after my coaching cycle he has given me the tools to be not only a good leader in the office but a more organized and motivated person in all aspects of life. The folks in the office have noticed a very positive change in my organization, energy, and enthusiam from the time our day begins until the close of business.
Now is the time for me to introduce Fred to my office. I can hardly wait to see the results!
Fred has done a wonderful job of finding the qualities of life that are important to me and helping everything I do in every day actually work toward these qualities/goals. He never oversteps boundaries of coach/client relationship and seems to be extremely personable.
He's not only a great coach but may also serve as a friend as well.
In the past few months I've worked with Fred, he's done an outstanding job.
Thank you, Fred.
Fred has been an incredible coach for me! He clearly cares about helping me re-examine my life and go deeper into the discovery of my own personal values, hopes, and dreams. As a mom and caregiver who is newly experiencing empty nest, I am at a place where I need to investigate what the next chapter of my life is to look like. With the tools and encouragement that Fred is providing me, I am discovering dreams that I had buried, and and a new excitement for what the future holds. Fred has given me confidence to step out of my comfort zone and into a new adventure that I have already found such joy and fulfillment in. I now have new goals set in place and the tools with which to achieve them. Fred inspires and motivates me continuously. I am so deeply grateful for Fred and have found myself recommending him to so many of my friends.
Fred is a natural coach who genuinely enjoys listening and supporting others. He finds sincere joy in helping others find out about themselves and helping them to achieve their personal and professional goals. As an executive of an organization and responsible for a multi-million dollar budget I found the culture of our industry changing and my organization needing to find its way through the change. Working with Fred, I have been able to better identify my strengths as a person and use them to become a better leader. I have become more focused in my work which is helping to focus the work of my organization. Fred has helped me bring together my personal and professional lives in such a way where they complement and enhance one another. Choosing the coaching relationship with Fred has been the best use of time and professional development dollars I have ever spent. I have recommended Fred and the coaching relationship to many of my colleagues and to anyone who desires to find their potential and use it in powerful ways.
My coaching experience with Fred was very helpful in looking at my professional and personal goals and values, setting priorities and taking action. This experience not only helped me to achieve goals, but more importantly, it has enabled me to discover who I am and what I truly desire. Fred has taught me valuable learning tools which I benefit from and refer to daily. Fred has been one of my biggest cheerleaders and the open and honest dialogue we shared was always welcomed. Fred genuinely cares about my growth and happiness. I highly recommend Fred for personal coaching; my time with him has been a game changer.
I have tremendous respect for Fred, both personally and professionally. As a life coach he challenged me, made me reflect and think, and most importantly encouraged me to take action. Fred helped me get results and make much needed changes in my life. Fred is someone who puts you at ease, empowers you to be a better person and seems to truly care about your growth and happiness. If you are considering Personal Coaching Services, reach out to Fred immediately - he has a true gift! I give Fred my highest recommendation and support...and send my sincere thanks.

As an Assistant Editor of the forthcoming Lumen Christi Hymnal, my main responsibility was the initial "build" of the hymnal: choosing those hymns that would best serve the needs of the hymnal's projected constituents.
As any Music Director knows, this is not an easy process. For different people, different hymns are important and meaningful. For rather a long time, we've had something of a "do it yourself" religion, with a sense that "one song is as good as another"--as long as it feels right.
A story: Once when I was a Music Director, I was contacted by one of the ladies in a senior's lunch club. Speaking for the group, she said that they all agreed that they wanted to hear "the old familiar songs" at Mass again. I answered that I wasn't opposed in principle, but I would need a list of the songs they meant. I expected that she would mean some of the more casual songs from the 80s--the 35 year old songs we sang in the "contemporary" choir. But as things turned out, there was almost no common ground among the group. There was only one hymn that they all agreed they missed, and asked that we would sing it from time to time.
The hymn was, O Lord, I Am Not Worthy--the very last title I expected!
Eventually I became responsible for choosing the hymn tunes as well, which is often conventional enough, but sometimes interesting. Once I was in an English chapel outside Rome on Christ the King, and we were all set to sing Hail, Redeemer, King Divine. I knew that one, I thought, and didn't think to practice until our group rehearsal. Turns out "everybody" in England sings the hymn to the excellent but challenging tune King Divine, just as "everybody" in the U.S. sings it to St. George's Windsor--and as I write this I'm well aware that someone will protest that they sing it in the U.S. to something completely different!
So if you were going to make your own list of "songs everyone knows," what would it be? Any thoughts?

Installing the program Dalton2011 with Openmpi-1.4.3 I got the message
Cannot open include file 'mpif.h' - It sems a typical compilation problem.
Openmpi was compiled as follows:
FFLAGS=-i8 FCFLAGS=-i8 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/openmpi-1.4.3 FC=ifort F77=ifort
No error was printed out and 'missing file' is available in /usr/local/openmpi.../include.
When I try to compile Dalton to generate the Makafile.config I use ./configure -linux and a sequence of Yes/No options are presented. Nothing can be typed at this point.
How can I use the link command so during the ./configure or make process the compiler finds the mpif.h file? All my attempts with -l/... or -I/... failed.
Can something be included in the Makefile.config to instruct the link?
Thank you

Clearwater Engineering, a small aviation supplier near Wichita, is keeping a close eye on a key decision in Washington — whether Congress will reauthorize the Export-Import Bank next month.
The Depression-era program helps companies that depend on exports by guaranteeing loans and providing credit insurance to overseas buyers of American products.
The agency's charter is set to expire Sept. 30 unless Congress approves reauthorization. The bank is facing stiff opposition from some Republicans in the House and Senate, urged on by conservative groups who want it eliminated.
Supporters include area Boeing suppliers such as Spirit AeroSystems and Clearwater Engineering, who, along with other local exporters, are contacting members of the Kansas delegation to urge passage of legislation that would let the bank continue to operate.
Boeing work makes up 65 percent of Clearwater Engineering's business, said Mike Hakonsson, Clearwater Engineering's director of contracts and marketing.
With Boeing's record orders and rising production rates, the company has aggressive growth plans.
In October, it's moving to Derby, doubling its space and adding to its staff of 27.
"Boeing's business is very important to us," Hakonsson said.
Without the Ex-Im Bank, U.S. companies are at a disadvantage when they compete with countries that boost sales through their own versions of the Ex-Im Bank, Hakonsson said.
"When Boeing creates a sales forecast and they start growing, so do their suppliers," he said. When exports decline, so will suppliers' business.
It's not only a Boeing issue, however.
Last year, the bank approved 3,842 requests for assistance with U.S. companies valued at $37.4 billion, according to its annual report.
Nearly 90 percent of its transactions were to small businesses.
Dozens of Kansas companies — general aviation planemakers, agricultural equipment suppliers, crop producers, oil and gas extractors and a variety of manufacturers — turn to the Export-Import Bank for help securing overseas sales.
Last year, 32 Kansas exporters used its services to support $493 million in exports. Half were small businesses.
For the seven years from 2007 to 2014, the bank assisted 62 Kansas exporters, including 38 small businesses, in support of $1 billion in exports.
The top export destinations for Kansas exporters using the Ex-Im Bank were South Africa, India and Mexico.
Supporters, which include a broad range of business and trade groups, say the bank's demise will jeopardize billions of dollars in sales of goods in a variety of sectors.
They argue that the Ex-Im Bank levels the playing field for American companies vying for foreign business.
Opponents call it a subsidy, crony capitalism and corporate welfare.
What Ex-Im does
The bank's credit insurance provides payment coverage for commercial risks, such as buyer default, and political risks, such as war. It allows exporters to sell on "open account" terms, instead of requiring cash-in-advance or letters of credit, the bank says. Businesses won't forego sales because they can't match credit terms offered by global competitors, the bank said.
It also helps U.S. companies get loans to fill export orders with a guaranteed line of credit that can be used to buy finished products, raw materials, supplies, labor or overhead. And it extends financing to foreign buyers of U.S. goods and services.
Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Wichita, voted against reauthorization in 2012. Pompeo has not yet decided how he will vote next month, his office said. Republican Sens. Jerry Moran and Pat Roberts voted in favor of the bank in 2012.
The bank is important to many Kansas employers and is responsible for job growth in Kansas, Roberts said in a statement. But he said the program needs to be reformed.
"We shouldn't reauthorize simply because it is the easiest path forward," Roberts said. "Rather, we must take into consideration the risk to every taxpayer and craft a more free enterprise system that benefits all our small, medium, and large businesses making products in America. My vote will largely depend on what reforms are added and whether it alleviates my skepticism about the bank's current functionality."
Pompeo agreed that the nation's and Kansas' economy depends on its ability to trade freely and fairly.
"When our companies and workers have the ability to compete on the world stage, they will grow and thrive," Pompeo said. "While the Ex-Im Bank has historically played a role our export economy, Congress must reevaluate how to best promote exports without placing taxpayer dollars at risk. I look forward to working with my colleagues to find the conservative, common-sense solutions both our workers and taxpayers deserve."
Supporters say the bank levels the playing field. Most countries that rely or want to promote exports have similar programs – or programs with the same aims. More than 60 countries, including China, Russia and France, have their own export credit agencies, and those agencies will step in to support their countries' businesses if the Ex-Im Bank closes, they say.
"There are countries that provide ... subsidies to our competition," said Gary Plummer, president and CEO of the Wichita Metro Chamber of Commerce. "The Ex-Im Bank is one tool that can be used to try to level that playing field."
Plummer went to Washington D.C. in the spring to meet with members of the Kansas delegation. Conversations are ongoing, he said.
"It should pass because it doesn't cost (taxpayers) anything," Plummer said. "It should be a no-brainer. But it may get wrapped up in other politically charged issues that keep the Democrats and Republicans from finding common ground."
That's probably its biggest threat, Plummer said.
Karyn Page, president and CEO of Kansas Global Trade Services, said the Ex-Im Bank provides a service when traditional lending institutions won't.
Bankers are concerned about risk, she said, and transactions across borders can carry geopolitical factors over which they have no control.
The Ex-Im Bank isn't part of all export transactions.
"But I think that we should have good tools in our toolbox available for our companies who want and need to export," Page said.
Of all the issues to oppose, she said, "the one that puts money back in the Treasury, shouldn't be the one."
Without the help when it's needed, "foreign buyers will just choose someone else," Page said. "If Ex-Im is not reauthorized, it will be painful."
Spirit AeroSystems agrees.
Hundreds of Boeing suppliers depend heavily on international sales of Boeing commercial aircraft.
"Every airplane that Boeing sells equates to another airplane that we get the opportunity to build at Spirit, so there's a direct impact to the workforce and jobs, both at our company and in our supply base," Debbie Gann, Spirit AeroSystems vice president of communications and corporate administration, said in an e-mailed statement.
It's too soon to say when the industry would start to feel the impact if the bank is eliminated, Gann said.
"But there is no doubt there would be harmful consequences if we are unable to maintain a level playing field for American exporters," she said.
Heritage Action for America, a conservative Washington, D.C., group that supports limited government, sees it differently.
It opposes the bank, calling it corporate welfare for big business.
"We're up against a massive, well-funded lobbying effort from big business and elites in Washington that don't want to let go of their taxpayer-funded subsidies," the group said in an e-mailed statement. "But we're confident that the bank will expire in September if Congressmen listen to their constituents."
In a free-market system, businesses should compete based on the quality of their products and services, it said.
The bank's contribution to U.S. exports is negligible, the group said. Ninety-eight percent of the nation's exports aren't backed by the bank.
Textron's stance
Cessna Aircraft and Beechcraft Corp., part of Textron Aviation, has turned to the Ex-Im Bank for assistance in some cases.
In 2013, Cessna received $36.9 million in disbursements to support $46.7 million in export sales, according to the bank.
Beechcraft received disbursements of $7.8 million to support $13.4 million in sales last year.
The Ex-Im Bank was especially crucial during the 2008 to 2010 time frame when commercial credit was tight, said Michael Thacker, Textron Aviation senior vice president of engineering.
It was critical to complete some of Cessna and Beechcraft's export sales, Thacker said.
"In many cases, there weren't other credit facilities available," Thacker said. "The credit market has improved a little bit for us. But the Ex-Im Bank is there when commercial credit is not for one reason or another."
The planemaker used the bank in only in a handful of deals, but those sales wouldn't have happened without its support, Thacker said.
The aviation industry has been hard hit by the economy, and each sale is important, he said.
The bank is a vital tool for competing in a global market, and reauthorization is critical, Thacker said.
"The U.S. is not the only government that has export credit facilities available," Thacker said. "When you're competing on the global stage, you need to make sure you have financing available to those end customers."
Beyond aviation
Great Plains Manufacturing in Salina builds agriculture implements. More than 1,500 of its 1,700 employees are in the Salina area.
And more than 10 percent of its sales are to overseas customers.
A recent international dealers meeting drew 104 attendees from 22 countries. About two-thirds of them didn't speak English. They used translators to communicate.
"We have a very strong export business," said James McNair, the company's international controller.
The availability of the Ex-Im Bank increases Great Plains' willingness and ability to export, McNair said.
Without it, "we probably would not chase certain export markets," he said. "That could hurt our employment opportunities here."
It uses the Ex-Im Bank at times to guarantee payments for overseas shipments, McNair said.
"We use various methods to ensure the collectibality of those accounts," he said. "Ex-Im financing is one method."
Other options are available, but they aren't always the best option.
When the company sells to U.S. customers, it relies on the nation's legal system to collect its payment, if necessary.
With exports, it sometimes uses the Ex-Im Bank to guarantee payments.
That way it doesn't have to be an expert in every country's legal system, McNair said.
For example, when it sells into Australia, customers want 120 days to pay, because of the time it takes to ship and assemble the products.
In the meantime "we're out our cash," McNair said. "We'll cover our risk by Ex-Im's insurance."
If the customer doesn't pay, then the Ex-Im bank will go through Australia's legal system to secure payment.
"We haven't had to file a claim," he said.
Within the next five years, Great Plains plans to grow its international business to more than a third of its sales.
"There's a lot of countries that really need our technology to increase their yields," McNair said.
Retention of the Ex-Im Bank will help it meet its goals.
"I don't pretend to be a politician," McNair said. But "this has been a tool that Americans have had to help develop their markets for over 80 years. ... It seems like it's a worthwhile endeavor. It's about American jobs."

Roaring Nights is just one component of a yearlong "ZooLAbration" that began on November 28, 2016, which is the 50th anniversary of the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens' opening at its current location. Throughout the 50th anniversary year, the Zoo is spotlighting not only its key role as a world-class destination and an important community asset but also its critical successes in conservation, quality of life and premier care for animals. Having recently completed a $172 million master plan which significantly improved the Zoo facility, the Zoo marks its 50th anniversary as it embarks upon developing a new Master Plan, which will serve as a road map for the future. The landmark Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens, drawing nearly 1.8 million visitors each year, is home to a diverse collection of 1,100 animals representing 250 different species, many of which are rare or endangered, as well as a botanical collection comprising over 800 different plant species with approximately 7,000 individual plants. Accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), whose members meet rigorous professional standards for animal welfare, the Zoo has achieved renown as an international leader in the preservation of endangered species and a conservation center for the care and study of wildlife. Its responsibility toward wildlife conservation not only encompasses safeguarding the animals in its care but also actively participating in the preservation of some of the world's most critically endangered species and their habitats. Its many conservation successes include having led the charge in saving California condors from extinction and restoring populations of these critically endangered animals to their native habitats. The Zoo's lush grounds on 113 acres feature Rainforest of the Americas, an extraordinary collection of endangered and exotic mammals, reptiles, fish and amphibians living in spaces that exemplify their natural habitat in the rainforest biosphere; Chimpanzees of Mahale Mountains, home to one of the largest troops of chimpanzees in the United States; Red Ape Rain Forest, where visitors can walk among orangutans; the LAIR (Living Amphibians, Invertebrates, and Reptiles); Elephants of Asia; Campo Gorilla Reserve; and one of the largest flocks of flamingos in any zoo in the world. Among other highlights are an extraordinary, hands-on Hippo Encounter and face-to-face Giraffe Feedings; the Winnick Family Children's Zoo and Muriel's Ranch animal contact area; the Tom Mankiewicz Conservation Carousel; a variety of daily opportunities to learn more about animals, including close-up visits, special feedings and intriguing talks; and much more. The private, non-profit Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association (GLAZA), which has supported the Zoo in partnership with the City of Los Angeles for more than five decades and provides funding for and operates seven essential Zoo departments, has 60,000 member households representing more than 240,000 adults and children.

If you ask Al Mature '74 (retail management), he'll tell you the packed loft inside Pittsburgh's Cafe Fifth Avenue was a sight for sore eyes. Mature frequently found it challenging to attract large numbers of fellow Steel City-area graduates to RIT Alumni Association activities. But with more than 80 alumni in attendance, it was a pleasure for the Pittsburgh chapter president to finally host a sell-out event.
"This is the best I've seen," he told me. "Up until a week ago, I was concerned about (the turnout)."
He probably didn't need to be. The reception at Café Fifth on Dec. 30 preceded the RIT men's hockey game against Robert Morris University. With first place in the Atlantic Hockey Association at stake, the game itself represented a significant draw. But add in that it was taking place inside the new Consol Energy Center, home to the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins, and you had the makings for a 'can't miss' event. Tickets ultimately sold quickly as game day approached.
Let's face it, Tigers hockey remains a surefire rallying point for members of the RIT community. Last season's success continues to capture our imagination, including the prospects for a repeat appearance at the NCAA Frozen Four.
During a brief presentation to the Pittsburgh alumni, Lou Spiotti, RIT's athletic director, confirmed that last season's success "electrified" the campus. He went on to praise this year's squad, providing no reason to limit expectations for the potential of another postseason run.
"The team is really developing its own identity," he said. "They're a great, great group of guys."
Once inside the Consol Energy Center, I couldn't help thinking back to the Frozen Four at Detroit's Ford Field last April. The amenities associated with a large-scale, professional venue were equally impressive, but the energy and urgency that come with tournament play were lacking—as were the Pep Band and the Corner Crew.
Still, when Tyler Brenner put in the game winner with 1:19 left to play, I couldn't help sense some of that electricity beginning to return—a little bit of Frozen Four Fever starting to seep in.
Obviously there's no telling what the future has in store. A Frozen Four encore is an awful lot to ask. But I can assure you that it's still very easy to rally around this team. Jump onboard. It should be quite a ride!

For the last six months-plus, I have been busy crafting. A whole swath of co-workers and friends had babies this year so I attended several baby showers, I made most of the Christmas gifts I gave, and I learned to knit. All productive activities for my hands. I come to life when I have a creative project.
|...and here.
These are some of the finished products.
|Throw pillow for Mom-in-law; a tree for each member of the family.
|Patchwork pillow for Grandma
|Tacky ornament kits turned out to be fun gag gifts.
|It's a pillow case. For the shark-lover in my life.
|Christmas lap quilt for Sister-in-law
|(it was a hit)
|Window valance (Matryoshka dolls, not South Park characters)
|My first knitted washcloth!
|"I heart NW WA" for baby Ruby
|Baby hat - Robin Hood style
|Baby hat - Rose bud style
|Nursery decor
|Pot holders
|Whale pillow for baby Clive
|Quilt for Sister
It's been a good year for making things. The gifts are a tangible way I can express love to the people in my life. Aren't I lucky to be surrounded by so many friends?
