Reinvesting a portion of revenues back into the local Black community makes good business sense for major corporations and is a smart investment.

Letter from the publisher
Dear Black Pages Supporter: A major mandate for the African American community is to harness our $900 billion in annual economic clout. For too long disjointed efforts have resulted in us retaining little of the wealth that we create each year. Many other groups have prospered in our free market society by adhering to a basic economic principle -- the recirculation of dollars within their communities. Less developed countries have also seized on this simple principle. China has flooded the U.S. marketplace with imports, while displacing American workers and holding the lien on billions of dollars in U.S. debt. Yet China has fiercely guarded its own marketplace, creating a huge trade imbalance that ensures the United States will stay in its debt for the foreseeable future. At the time of this writing, the ratio was nearly 5:1. For every $5 in products that China exported to the United States, they imported $1 in American products, according to foreign trade statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau. While our capitalistic, entrepreneurial spirit has gained traction around the globe, we continue to negate our role as major power brokers wielding $900 billion in spending power each year. As our nation rebounds from an economic recession brought on by greed, lack of vision, weak leadership and the lack of investment in less developed regions of our country, we have a unique “teaching moment.� We know that enterprise must be tempered with social responsibility and that a responsible government must intervene when the business community loses focus of that fact. Even in its infancy, the administration of President Barack Obama has done much to raise the profile of African-Americans and has, more importantly, set the pace for a new wave of young, welleducated entrepreneurs. None can dispute the fact that we are the wealthiest and most educated professionals and entrepreneurs in the entire civilized world. Our history as hard working Americans has been documented through the sacrifice of many of our ancestors, who made the treacherous journey from the shores of Africa, built a foreign country, and otherwise survived unparalleled obstacles. The time is now for a systematic reshifting of our priorities. Yes, we must create competitive businesses, but we must also become competitive consumers — not only within our borders, but within the global economy.

specifics
Black pages USA
We utilize this section to provide specific details and other pertinent information relating to the Black Pages. The Black Pages-History and Background: The Black Pages concept started over 30 years ago. Today, Black Pages-type publications are produced in about 30 cities and metropolitan areas throughout the United States. McCants Communications Group, Inc. is a minorityowned corporation that publishes Black Pages USA in Greater Southwest Roanoke/Lynchburg (VA), Hampton Roads-Richmond(VA)Northeastern, N.C., Raleigh/Durham/Cary (NC), Triad (NC), and the Greater Fayetteville/ Wilmington/Cape Fear/Jacksonville (NC) regions. Black Pages USA publications are also distributed in South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia. Why the Black Pages? The specific purpose of the Black Pages is to feature and highlight minority-owned businesses. The introduction of the Black Pages concept during the past several years is timely. The current economy of the United States is increasingly focused on individual entrepreneurial efforts, self-help initiatives, and small business development. The Black Pages seeks to provide exposure to individuals and businesses at the forefront of the entrepreneurial effort. The objective of the Black Pages is to help these individuals and businesses provide positive leadership for today’s youth, as well as a realistic alternative to the traditional career/ employment opportunities of the past. While primarily highlighting minority-owned businesses, we also encourage and solicit major corporate involvement in the Black Pages. The corporations that advertise provide support and assistance to minority business development while marketing quality 10

goods and services. The involvement of major corporations is a wise business investment and improves the entire community. The Black Economy: U.S. Census statistics indicate that the Black community has an annual income of nearly $900 billion. The Black Pages serves as a means through which a portion of this tremendous spending power can be used in the Black business sector. Utilizing the Black Pages to promote and access the goods and services of Black businesses provides for the growth and development of those businesses, which in turn provides employment and career opportunities for tomorrow’s youth. Obviously, we also urge Black consumers to utilize the goods and services of the major corporate advertisers listed in the Black Pages. Through their investment, these companies demonstrate their concern for and commitment to the Black community, thereby promoting economic self-reliance. How to Obtain Copies of the Black Pages: Distribution of the Black Pages is primarily conducted via the major churches in the area and by a number of established distribution points that have been set up in your area (see Distribution Points Listings on page 12). Our staff will also provide copies of the Black Pages to all of our advertisers, corporate and government procurement officials, local groups and organizations, as well as at conventions, trade shows, festivals, and other community events. A copy of the Black Pages can be obtained by contacting our office at (877) 273-1709, or mailing $5.00 for postage and handling for each copy to 301 N Elm St, Ste 266, Greensboro, NC 27401.

Irish Spells, BSN Kangen Alkaline Water
Irish Spells has an entrepreneurial spirit. She has managed three businesses, one in real estate, one in hair removal and now Kangen Alkaline Water all while working for UPS for the last 18 years. She was very fortunate to have been introduced to Kangen Water by friends in July 2008. Irish states she was having problems with inherited arthritis, an inability to sleep soundly throughout the night, and just general malaise, which is everyday tiredness. After consuming 6 gallons of Kangen Alkaline Water, she noticed her body had experienced a change. After reading and doing thorough research, she discovered that tap water and bottled water are not the optimum waters to consume for those of us who eat an acidic diet and are exposed to stress. Kangen Alkaline Water helps to neutralize the over acidity in our bodies, therefore, toxins are eliminated and a “new” you is waiting to be rediscovered. She feels good health is priceless. Having increased energy, being able to sleep soundly throughout the night, and releasing toxins through elimination, have greatly benefited her quality of life. The lessened need for prescription medication and enormous doctor visits has saved her time and money. At 57, Irish only does a well check each year, and leaves with a perfectly clean bill of health. Irish is a 1975 graduate of North Carolina A & T State University. She is also a member of Oak Ridge First Baptist Church in Oak Ridge, North Carolina. Irish treasures seeing her children, Jordin age 16 and Ryon age 13, grow up to be productive entrepreneurs. Irish invites you to experience Kangen Water.

health watch
are you overly acidic?
Are you
overly acidic? Are you suffering from joint pain, cancer, diabetes, allergies, osteoporosis, high cholesterol, being overweight, or high blood pressure? If you answered yes, you might be overly acidic.
Our
bodies are on average extremely acidic, because of the acid-causing diet choices we have chosen. These include dairy, alcohol, meat, cheese, sugar, coffee, sodas, and eggs. Bacteria, fungi, yeast and all disease causing organisms love acid. In fact, none of them can survive in an alkaline environment. A recent update from John Hopkins states that cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic; it is best to eat fish and a little chicken, rather than beef or pork. Some meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones, and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables, juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts, and fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. H20? Do you drink alkaline water, well water, city water, or bottled water? It is true that not all water is created equal. Ever wonder if the chemical levels in your tap water were always safe? Chlorine and fluoride are added to water municipalities across the United States to render the water safe to drink. When chlorine kills bacteria, it cannot discriminate between the harmful and the healthful. It destroys friendly bacteria in the stomach and colon. People with Candida and immunesuppressive diseases such as Aids, Epstein-Barr, and chronic fatigue syndrome should make the extra effort to drink only pure water. Parasitic fungi or Candida occurs most frequently in the mouth, vagina and intestinal tract, where they are usually benign but can cause disease.
When antibiotics or other agents, for example, chlorine, destroy healthful bacteria in the digestive system, and the delicate balance goes out of whack. The result can be a glut of Candida that can suppress the immune system, and cause an array of health problems. Well water can contain oil, anti-freeze, fertilizers, pesticides, animal feces, industrial chemical, wastes, herbicides, and other noxious wastes. Bottled water is a landfill hazard and may not be as good as tap. Have you heard of Kangen Water? The counter top Kangen generator removes most impurities and chlorine from your tap water. Through a process of electrolysis, the water is loaded with high amounts of anti-oxidants, OH-ions making it highly alkaline. The Kangen alkaline water helps clean the body while providing balance to the immune system. Kangen water burns fat and fights against the effects of aging. Many people report the daily use of this water also helps the digestive system. The water is restructured into smaller clusters of molecules allowing them to be easily absorbed. WHEN YOU DRINK KANGEN WATER YOU WILL EFFECTIVELY HYDRATE YOUR ORGANS, SO THEY WILL FUNCTION BETTER. AS YOUR COLON RELEASES THE TOXIC WASTE, YOUR BODY WILL BECOME HEALTHIER, AND LIFE BECOMES MORE REWARDING!

GREENSBORO DAY SCHOOL
Choosing the Right Educational Path for your Child is the Most Important Decision a Parent Will Make.
who carry with them the School’s core values of friendship, scholarship and sportsmanship.
Why attend an independent private school?
Beginning in Kindergarten at GDS, students are taught by a collaborative team of grade teachers and specialists. Specialists work with students and teachers at all grade levels in science, Spanish, art, technology, music, media, guidance, physical education, reading, and math. Specialists provide the support and expertise needed for a truly integrated, consistently strong educational experience.
The reasons cited over and over again by the 400,000 families who send their children to independent schools include individual attention, small classes, teacher excellence, and high academic standards. But the main motive for families looking into independent private schools can be summarized in one word: Quality. They want, quite simply, the best for their sons and daughters. The National Educational Longitudinal Study (NELS), conducted by the U.S. Department of Education, confirms what independent school families have known for years: larger percentages of students in independent schools are enrolled in advanced courses than in public, parochial, and other private schools. Your decision to consider an independent school is just the beginning. You must choose the right school from the hundreds available. While all independent schools set high standards and emphasize values, they are wonderfully distinct from each other. At Greensboro Day School, some of the advantages of an independent education are small class sizes, individual attention and the opportunities that students have to be part of a wide variety of activities. The GDS experience, however, goes a step further. As the leading independent TK-12 school in the area, the School has a proven track record of graduating students who are not only well-educated, but 34

Greensboro Day School’s Lower School builds a foundation wide enough to support a lifetime of learning. Unique to the Lower School’s design is the emphasis the School places on studying the “hows” of teaching and learning. GDS teachers are committed to using a variety of instructional methods to understand and meet each student’s learning needs.
Middle Schoolers learn by doing. In the Middle School at GDS, students are active participants in the learning process. Small enough to offer individual attention, yet large enough to offer a wide range of opportunities, the Middle School is a safe place for students to explore, try, and grow in independence. At GDS, it is essential that Middle Schoolers live and learn in a connected community. Children grow and develop so rapidly in the middle school years. They need a supportive team of parents and teachers to guide them through the challenges of adolescence. With small classes
and the School’s unique Advising Program, no student is anonymous at GDS. Foreign languages, the arts, and technology are all integral to the Middle School curriculum and help to unite the core subjects. The School’s laptop program is a primary vehicle for creativity and innovation in teaching. From blogging about a Spanish novel to musical performances in the school’s state of the art theatre, opportunities abound for the hands-on learning that adolescents crave. GDS strives to prepare students, not just for college, but for the world. In the Upper School, students are taught to be creative thinkers who are concerned for others, globally aware and technologically adept. In the School’s small classes, students receive both the challenge and support needed to face the rigors of college and beyond. At the heart of the Upper School are the lasting relationships built between students and teachers. Upper School teachers are available before and after school, during lunch, by appointment or through electronic conferencing for any extra help students may need. Teachers also serve as advisors, club sponsors and coaches for the wide variety of extra-curricular activities and sports available. At GDS students learn to take ownership of their education. They work collaboratively with teachers and peers and set high goals for themselves. At GDS school is not a requirement, it is an opportunity. Greensboro Day School opened its doors in 1970, the result of the dreams and hard work of dozens of parents who challenged themselves to build the best education possible for their children and for generations of children to come. For 40 years, the School’s success has been defined by a challenging academic program, an emphasis on honor and values, and a dedication to each individual child and family. Today, GDS is more committed than ever to developing a program that prepares students for leadership and service in the 21st century.

Organizational Relationships: True Success Lies In People By Renae Sanders KRS Consulting, LLC
L
eadership remains one of the most elusive, researched, and written about topics in modern history. Transformational leadership theory currently commands the attention of many theorists and researchers in the area of leadership. But most of us would not argue the merits of great leadership to the most successful organizations. Yet, we often leave leadership, as a practice, to chance; especially during times when leadership must be intentional. My interest in organizational leadership and relationships were modeled by my Dad growing up in South Carolina. My Dad was born in 1942 in Summerville, SC. The sixth of nine children, seven boys and two girls, Sanders was an industrious child of a minister and a homemaker. An heir to hard work rather than wealth, he entered the workforce at the age of 12, delivering newspapers before school and setting pins at a local bowling alley on the weekends to help ease the financial burdens of his family. As it became apparent that the opportunity to further his education might be lost by the family’s desire to educate his two sisters, he risked everything to pursue his own dreams. As a father and coach, he taught us much about leadership, relationships, commitment, and excellence. Leadership, in his view, was more than being out front, it was realizing others relied on leaders to set examples, be encouraging, help them be successful, and to never give up. Whether playing softball, at school, in college or at work, leadership can be expressed at all levels. The same holds true in companies. From my father I learned everyone wants to be valued and respected; to courage others to express themselves creatively; and that giving more than you receive benefits everyone, especially the giver. 42

Now, as a business owner, I have taken the lessons from my Dad, my education and experiences to create KRS Consulting, LLC. KRS Consulting is a management consulting firm focused on companies committed to bottom line growth and that recognize organizational relationships, internally and externally, are critical to ongoing success. People are the link between strategy and success. While human capital is a company’s primary asset, it is best to recognize people are infinitely more than assets. As sentient beings, people have the ability to actualize strategies and vision; solve problems; create new ideas; and are a significant reasons clients remain with a company even through tough economies. Individuals prefer to business with those they respect and trust. Leaders and employees must behave in the socially acceptable ways associated with professional organizations. These include following through on commitments, delivering what was promised, owning mistakes, and treating prospects and clients with respect. Business leaders are charged with building strong and lasting relationships with employees, peers, and business to customers. In short, what employees and customers experience must be consistent with their expectations and you business promise. It’s no secret; the two pillars of successful leadership are trust and motivating communication. Productivity and employee empowerment increase as trust improves. Motivating others through communication also drives productivity and engagement among employees. The two are a powerful combination in any organization. Individuals who have a good, mutually respectful relationship with their managers often go the extra mile on behalf of the business and its clients. Organizations that focus on building trusting relationships internally, will notice an increase in the satisfaction levels of clients. This can be attributed to the level of engagement and the willingness of individuals to support a manager who values his/her ideas and contributions to the company. To build trust leaders must:
Walk-the-Walk and Talk the Talk The actions of leaders and managers must be consistent with the vision and expectations given to employees. Employees are keenly aware of leader behaviors and actions. A leader who fails to model proper behaviors create an environment where employees will fail to act in accordance with expectations as well.
What Happens in My Office Stays in My Office Nothing can more irreparably damage trust than breaking confidences. Confidential conversations must be held in confidence. It speaks to the integrity of the individuals; just as talking about clients in public places damages the integrity of companies. Discussing client business in public locations is a huge “no-no”. Internal disputes, performance feedback, client financials and challenges, and personal information are off limits in public settings and with friends or family. Trust is easily to built and nearly impossible to repair.
Communicate to Motivate There are three critical forms of leader communication: (1) giving direction; (2) recognition of efforts; and (3) explaining the organization’s culture.
– The ability to give direction and reduce ambiguity increases trust, performance, and satisfaction among workers. When an employee is clear about his/her role, the decision regarding appropriate activities and behavior are easier to discern. The same holds true for clients. Messages must increase clarity about your business.
– Outwardly recognizing a worker’s accomplishments on behalf of the organization shows humanity and kindness. If you must speak publicly about individuals, say kind things about them. Workers, referral sources, and prospect judge your level of integrity by how you speak about individuals in your organization.
“ ”
– Explaining the organization’s culture is critical understanding who and what your company values, its structure, and the rules of interaction. More commonly called norms, company culture drives how individuals relate to each other and clients, how promotions and successes are determined, how creativity is received (or not), openness toward difference; and how trust is actualized in the workplace. At no other time in our history has leadership and organizational relationships been more important to the long-term success of organizations than today. Experts suggest creating and maintaining a competitive advantage requires at least two of three superior company attributes: processes, technology, or people. But, I can guarantee processes and technology require people to maintain them. Contact KRS Consulting to discuss how we can help you strengthen the link between strategy and bottomline results.

Maurice “Moe” Green
Superintendent, Guilford County Schools Superintendent Maurice “Mo” Green was named Guilford County Schools’ third permanent superintendent when the Board of Education voted to approve his appointment on July 24, 2008. Guilford County Schools is the third largest district in North Carolina. The district has more than 71,000 students, almost 10,200 full- and part-time employees and a budget of more than $642 million. GCS has 120 schools located in urban, suburban and rural areas with 67 elementary schools, 22 middle schools, 26 high schools, two special education schools, and two sites which provide an alternative to long-term suspensions. Upon Green’s arrival in September 2008, he embarked on a “Listening and Learning Tour” of Guilford County to garner input from hundreds of GCS parents, students, teachers, principals and community members through town hall forums and other meetings. During this time, Green stressed excellence as the expectation for the district. He augmented this tour with the “Mo Wants to Know” campaign, which was launched to include many thoughts and opinions in the district’s strategic planning process. “Mo Wants to Know” charged all stakeholders to help the district dream big by providing input to the superintendent. The more than 3,500 responses were incorporated into the district’s first-ever strategic plan, which was launched to the public on January 27, 2009. The theme of the strategic plan, entitled Achieving Education Excellence, is excellence in all areas, including academics, character development and operations. The plan is a three-and-a-half year road map with specific, measurable goals and strategies in eight areas. Immediately, employees, students and the community began to work toward the goal of achieving education excellence. This is seen in the notable gains made in student achievement and increased numbers in volunteer hours and in-kind donations. The 2008-09 school year saw significant gains in Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), the No Child Left Behind federal legislation. Almost 70 percent of the district’s schools met AYP, the highest number for GCS since the measure was established in 2003. The state’s ABC accountability program showed that 10 Guilford County schools were named 2009 Honor Schools of Excellence, compared to only one the year before. These schools made AYP, made at least expected growth with its schools and had 90 percent or more of its students score at the proficient level. Prior to joining Guilford County Schools, Green held several positions with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS). He joined the district in 2001 as its General Counsel, and in 2006, he was named chief operating officer. Upon his departure, he held the additional title of deputy superintendent. His duties included running the day-to-day operations of the district, which boasted 135,000 students, nearly 18,000 employees and a $1.17 billion budget. Green holds a bachelor’s degree in political science and economics and a law degree, both from Duke University. Upon graduating from law school, his first job was a prestigious clerkship in the chambers of Federal District Court Judge N. Carlton Tilley, Jr. in Greensboro. The following year, he held another prominent clerkship in the Sixth Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. After completing his clerkship, Green joined the law firm of Smith Helms Mulliss & Moore LLP. He worked his way up to partner after six years before joining CMS in 2001. Green has received numerous accolades for his work at CMS as well as in the community. His many honors include “Top 40 Under 40” from the Charlotte Business Journal and the Black Women’s Caucus of Charlotte’s Trailblazer award. He served on numerous nonprofit boards in Charlotte, including the YMCA, the Arts and Science Council and the Crisis Assistance Ministry. He also is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Green and his wife, Stephanie, a school psychologist, are the proud parents of two children, Brianna, 13, and Isaiah, 9. 44

Eulah Price
Coordinator-Roanoke Extended Education Programs, RU Radford University reaches beyond its campus in Radford to the Roanoke Valley where it offers a variety of programs at the Roanoke Higher Education Center and at Virginia Western Community College. Representing RU at these two important extended locations is Eulah Price, coordinator of Roanoke Extended Education programs. An engaging and committed professional education administrator, Price has earned a reputation as RU’s “go-to” person for the Roanoke Valley resident who wants to earn an undergraduate or graduate degree, enroll in a certification program or just explore the options RU makes available in the Roanoke Valley. “I really want people to know that RU is serving prospective students, current students and faculty,” said Price, “and to ensure that their experiences are positive and lasting.” Price’s time is split between two locations serving different student groups – the Roanoke Higher Education Center where the focus is on delivery of graduate programs – and Virginia Western Community College where RU is providing programs and courses leading to a bachelor’s degree. Among the programs available in Roanoke are graduate and continuing education programs in Social Work, Business Administration, Autism Studies, Education Leadership and Interdisciplinary Studies/Elementary Education Licensure. At the undergraduate level, popular programs include Criminal Justice, Elementary Education Licensure, Business and Social Work. “My greatest pleasure is seeing students evolve from associate degree student to RU undergraduate student to RU graduate student. There have been a lot of those and they are good stories – of accomplishment, perseverance and dedicated service,” said Price. Price counsels those with whom she works to see education as an enduring investment, one that always appreciates, regardless of the economic conditions of the day. As a native of Roanoke and a firstgeneration college graduate, Price is also proud that during her twelve-year tenure with Radford University, students from the Roanoke programs now have prominent places within the Roanoke Valley’s business community, education system and social service infrastructure. Price points out that RU was a regional forerunner in making its programs accessible to the non-traditional student who is working while continuing their education. She said that RU’s main campus is well attuned to the challenges faced by these determined students and that RU continues to introduce new delivery vehicles such as web-based instruction, videoconference courses, hybrid courses by which the Radford curriculum is delivered to its Roanoke valley students. Price has enjoyed a rich and diverse career in higher education. After earning her undergraduate degree from Virginia Commonwealth University, she has served in a variety of capacities such as career coordinator, assistant registrar, assistant director of financial aid, and assistant director of advising at a variety of colleges and universities, including Virginia Tech, Old Dominion, University of TennesseeRU Logo Chattanooga and Roanoke College. She earned her M.A. Ed. in Student Personnel from Virginia Tech and is a graduate of Roanoke’s William Fleming High School. Price has one son, Ryan, who is currently an assistant basketball coach at Gannon University. She is an active member and office holder in the Roanoke Alumnae chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority and is a volunteer with the Roanoke City Schools. WWW.BLACKPAGESUSAONLINE.COM

S
mall businesses are one of the main driving forces for the U.S. economy. They have produced around half of private nonfarm GDP (total value of all final goods and services produced) and employed around half of all private sector employees. In 2002, there were 23.0 million small businesses in the United States which generated 22.6 trillion in revenue with wholesale trade, manufacturing, retail trade, finance and insurance and construction contributing over 70 percent. The current economic environment will challenge these industries as most small businesses rely on the weakest sectors in this downturn – consumer and real estate. In 2002, there were 1.2 million black-owned firms in the United States, employing nearly 754,000 persons and generating nearly $89 billion in business revenue. Black-owned firms had the highest growth rate for several measures between 1997 and 2002 including number of firms and revenue. These blackowned firms accounted for 5.2 percent of all nonfarm businesses in the United States, 0.7 percent of their employment, and 0.4 percent of their receipts. Retail trade, health care and social assistance accounted for 28.7 percent of all black-owned business revenue. Fifty-four percent of the retail trade revenue was concentrated in motor vehicle and parts dealers. An interesting point is that Asian-owned businesses have a comparable number of firms at 4.8 percent, but generate a far greater share of revenue at 1.4 percent. While there could be many reasons for this including education, industry choice, etc., there is limited academic research on this topic. Nevertheless, all minority groups pale in comparison to white-owned firms which accounted for roughly
48
B L A C K PA G E S U S A T R I A D E D I T I O N 2 0 10
82 percent of all nonfarm businesses in the U.S. and almost 90 percent of the revenue. These statistics are disconcerting because entrepreneurship has traditionally been one of the major avenues for economic advancement especially among those with lower levels of income and education. A reasonable question is why are black-owned businesses so far behind their white counterparts in self employment? Academic research that attempts to explain the dearth of black-owned businesses point to three key factors: lack of assets, level of education, and the probability of having a self employed father. Other research specifically surveying start-ups suggest a person in the top quartile in the wealth distribution is about four times as likely to operate a business as a person in the lower part of the distribution. While many factors are at play, most agree that limited net worth in Black households may be one of the main issues. If this is the case, the current economic climate does not bode well for Black businesses. Net worth is the difference between assets and liabilities. In 2002, Non-Hispanic White householders had a median net worth of $87,056, excluding home equity it falls to $19,079. Black householders had a net worth of $5,446, excluding home equity it declines to $1,102. It is clear that homeownership is an important part of building wealth, which in turn helps to support business ownership. The rise in the market value of homes from 2001 to 2006 led to a substantial increase in net worth for all households. This increase gave wave to industries which were consumer and housing driven. During this time period, the value of homes surged 88.5 percent and enabled consumers to withdraw record amounts of mortgage equity from their homes. This mortgage

Khan, Economist of the housing market Wells Fargo Securities the first time.
“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” – Sir Winston Churchill When the credit bubble burst in August 2007, banks and other lenders grew increasingly restrictive in their lending practices. This was the shock that ultimately ushered in the most severe recession in the postwar era. The lack of available credit made it tougher for potential homebuyers and builders to qualify for new loans. This put downward pressure on housing prices and consequently household net worth faltered. Roughly 55 percent of small business owners use personal or family savings to raise capital or acquire a business. As home prices declined and
While the current recession is the most severe in the post war era, recessions are inevitable and typically correct imbalances that were built up during the boom times. The greatest imbalances built up during the most recent expansion were in housing, financial services, consumer spending and foreign trade. Put differently, we built too many houses, financed them too loosely, allowed consumers to leverage too easily and to a much greater extent than was justified. The longer recession is thus the result of both cyclical and structural imbalances, which will take much more time to unwind. Therefore, the recovery should be sub par with employment peaking well after the recession ends. This means the debt funded lifestyles that we became accustomed to during boom years will not return to what many would perceive as normal. As a result, small businesses will also have to alter their perception of “normal” especially in industries that experienced the greatest imbalances - housing, financial services, consumer spending and foreign trade. While this outlook may seem daunting, we will simply return to a more sustainable level of growth.

Greensboro day school
profile of achievement
John Franklin Hatchett, Jr., MD John Franklin Hatchett, Jr., M.D. practices anesthesiology in Greensboro, North Carolina. During his 10th grade year in public school, he grew increasingly disenchanted with how much time teachers spent dealing with disruptive and poorly motivated students. Having previously lived in New York and attending private school there, he yearned for an education that focused on him as a student. That’s when he asked his mother if he could apply to Greensboro Day School. “Fortunately, I was accepted, and for the next two years I found myself in a nurturing environment where I was challenged intellectually by both teachers and students alike.” Hatchett graduated from Greensboro Day School in 1979 and credits his years at the School with teaching him to pursue knowledge and experience learning with a zeal that he carries with him to this day. As he looks back, he says that Greensboro Day School prepared him to be successful not only in college (North Carolina A&T State University) but for the rest of his life. It is because of this gift given to him that he continues to give back to his alma mater, Greensboro Day School, by sponsoring senior projects and coaching boys basketball.
Antonio Jackson
Senior, Greensboro Day School Antonio Jackson is a senior at Greensboro Day School. Like many of his peers, he is an honor student in advanced and AP classes. But it’s what he does in his “spare” time that sets him apart. Before his day starts at GDS, Jackson volunteers at Greensboro Urban Ministry. Several times a week, he sets up and serves breakfast to the homeless. His volunteer efforts motivated his entire school community to help him collect more than 8,000 pounds of food. The donation marked the largest ever food donation by a single school to Urban Ministry. In 2009, Jackson received the ultimate reward for his hard work in and out of the classroom. Jackson is one of 36 high school seniors chosen nationwide as a Robertson Scholar. Jackson is the 5th GDS recipient of this scholarship since 2003. The Robertson Scholars Program is an innovative merit scholarship program at UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke. The program selects scholars who demonstrate the program values of heart, mind and action and exhibit the potential and desire to develop these values further. The Robertson Scholars Program provides full tuition, room and board, and study abroad at Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill.
