Taunton pastor, author starts own publishing house

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 10 November 2012 | 20.25

TAUNTON — Hoping to uplift readers and give an opportunity to other religious writers, a local pastor has started a Spanish-language Christian publishing house.

Edna Isaac, pastor of the Casa de Adoracion based at the Pilgrim Congregational Church on Broadway, launched JDN Publications in mid-September. So far it has published two books written by Isaac, and it plans on releasing a lot more from herself and five other local authors, Isaac said.

"When you write to encourage other people, when you write to inspire other people in times of trouble or times when they are facing a difficulty, there is always a need for it," Isaac said.

The "JDN" in JDN Publication stands for Jesus de Nazareth.

Isaac's first motivational Christian book, called "Aprendiend a Volar Sobre la Tormenta," or "Learning to Fly Over the Storm," came out in 2004. She was using the Salon publishing house at the time, but now "Apriendiend a Volar" is one of the titles published by her new venture, along with another more recent book called "Volver a Empezar," which means "Starting Over."

"It was always one of my dreams to have my own publishing house," Isaac said. "My frustration as an author was that it was difficult because of the cost. What motivates me to do this is that so people can have the resources to go into it more easily. The purpose is to help new writers to publish their books, especially those who don't have the resources."

Isaac's books incorporate scripture and personal experiences with faith. She writes about Christianity and how it helped her overcome adversity in in her childhood, while having a baby who was born premature and in many other situations.

"If I overcome, anyone can," Isaac said.

Isaac said she has five authors who are working to get books published through JDN Publications. She is using the Internet to facilitate the business at www.jdnpublications.com.

Francisco Isaac, Edna's husband, said that he is proud that his wife started JDN Publications. "I'm very happy about it," he said.

Amazon sales-tax deal winds on

Gov. Deval Patrick, who signed a sales-tax increase back during the Great Recession, is giving peeved Massachusetts retailers another lump of coal in their stockings for the holidays.

The Patrick administration has yet to reach a deal with Amazon.com that would require the nation's largest online retailer to collect state sales taxes from Bay State customers.

Retailers had hoped an agreement would come before the start of the holiday shopping season, so the online giant wouldn't have the advantage of making sales without the 6.25 percent state sales tax during the busiest retail period of the year.

"We've pretty much come to the conclusion that it won't happen for the holiday season," said Jon Hurst, president of the Retailers Association of Massachusetts. "We've been pressing for this all year long. At first we had hoped for July 1 of this year and then, as a fallback, for the holiday season."

In late September, Gov. Deval Patrick said the state hoped to wrap up a deal "soon" with Amazon.

Under a Supreme Court ruling, online retailers must collect state sales taxes from customers only if they have operations where they live. Amazon this year opened a Cambridge software development office and bought a North Reading robotics company.

The Patrick administration said yesterday that discussions with Amazon continue. "We share the concerns of small-business owners and our mayors to help keep the business climate competitive," spokesman Alex Zaroulis said. "We also want Amazon to grow and create jobs here in Massachusetts. A congressional solution is best for everyone — and supported by all parties. In the absence of such a solution, we have had productive conversations with Amazon officials about a solution that works for everyone, and we hope to close out those talks soon."

Amazon collects sales taxes in eight states and has agreed to future collections in seven more. If Massachusetts officials fail to reach an agreement by year's end, Hurst promises a hard push for legislative action.

"Of course, we continue to push for the federal legislation," he said. "The fiscal cliff presents an opportunity to advance (that) during the congressional lame-duck sessions in November and December."

Official: China can meet 7.5 percent growth target

BEIJING — China's sharp economic downturn has ended after trade and consumer spending improved in October but the world's second-largest economy is not ready for a recovery and exporters face tough conditions, officials said Saturday.

The economy should be able to meet the government's 7.5 percent growth target this year, the chairman of the country's planning agency told a news conference during a congress of the ruling Communist Party.

The comments echoed private sector analysts who say economic activity is improving but a recovery from China's deepest slump since the 2008 global financial crisis will be gradual and weak.

"The figures do indeed indicate an obvious trend of the Chinese economy stabilizing," Zhang Ping said.

"That said, we should not let down our guard," he said. "Our conclusion is that the foundation is not solid enough for a rebound in the Chinese economy and therefore we need to step up our efforts."

Trade data on Saturday showed export growth accelerated in October to 11.6 percent from the previous month's 9.9 percent. Data released Friday showed auto sales, consumer spending and investment also improved in October.

Zhang gave no indication what new initiatives Beijing might consider. The government has cut interest rates twice this year and is injecting money into the economy through higher spending on building airports and other public works and investment by state companies. But it has avoided a large stimulus after its huge response to the 2008 crisis fueled inflation.

Economic growth fell to a three-and-a-half-year low of 7.4 percent in the quarter ending in September. Growth for the first three quarters of the year was 7.7 percent, putting the government's target for the year within reach.

Also in October, inflation fell, giving Beijing room to launch new stimulus if needed with less danger of igniting new price spikes.

The improvement is welcome news for the ruling Communist Party, which is in the midst of a congress to install younger leaders who might benefit from an economic uptick.

Still, Commerce Minister Chen Deming warned that Chinese exporters face tough conditions due to weak global demand and rising operating costs.

"The trade situation will be relatively grim in the next few months and there will be many difficulties next year," Chen told a news conference.

Stronger exports will help manufacturers that were battered by last year's slump in global demand. Thousands closed and survivors slashed payrolls, raising the danger of unrest as Communist leaders tried to enforce calm ahead of the leadership transition.

The import weakness meant China's global trade surplus widened by nearly 90 percent over a year ago to $32 billion — the highest monthly level this year.

Chen also warned that "growing trade protectionism" might hurt exporters.

World leaders pledged after the 2008 crisis to avoid steps that might hinder trade and hamper a recovery. But Beijing and trading partners including the United States, Europe and Japan have raised tariffs on goods including autos and solar panels in a series of disputes over market access, subsidies and other issues.

Sotheby's to sell Mick Jagger's love letters

LONDON — Handwritten letters from Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger to his former lover Marsha Hunt will be auctioned in London next month.

Hunt is an American-born singer who was the inspiration for the Stones' 1971 hit "Brown Sugar" and bore Jagger's first child.

Sotheby's says she has tasked the auction house with selling 10 letters written from the set of Jagger's film "Ned Kelly," which was shooting in Australia.

Sotheby's says the "passionate and articulate" letters sent in the summer of 1969 show a "poetic and self-aware" 25-year-old Jagger.

The auction house said Saturday that the collection, which includes song lyrics and a Rolling Stones playlist, is expected to fetch between 70,000 and 100,000 pounds ($111,300 and $159,000) and will go under the hammer on December 12.

EU annual budget talks collapse, in worrying sign

PARIS — Negotiations over next year's European Union budget have collapsed after a dispute between member states and the European Commission over a shortfall in the 2012 budget. The talks, which essentially ended before they began, could be a sign of trouble ahead for longer-term EU budget issues.

At issue was a €8.9 billion ($11.3 billion) shortfall for 2012, according to the European Commission, which asked the states to cover the sum. Several states imposing spending cuts at home questioned the amount.

In a statement on his website, the European Parliament lead negotiator Alain Lamassoure said the commission must submit a new proposal before talks, which face a Tuesday deadline, could continue.

The only agreement Friday was for €670 million in aid to Italian earthquake victims — but not how to fund it.

'Fiscal cliff' threatens Bay State industries

Written By Unknown on Jumat, 09 November 2012 | 20.25

If Congress doesn't avoid the year-end "fiscal cliff," billions of dollars worth of medical research and defense contracts would be slashed, and perhaps nowhere would that be more keenly felt than in Massachusetts.

Massachusetts General Hospital has the nation's largest research program, amounting to $750 million, about $400 million of which comes from the National Institutes of Health and other federal agencies, said Dr. Harry Orf, senior vice president for research.

Under the series of tax increases and spending cuts scheduled to take effect Jan. 1, NIH would immed-iately see an 8.2 percent — or $2.5 billion — cut, which would disrupt more than 2,300 grants supporting research in areas such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

Massachusetts would see $200 million in NIH funding cut annually over the next 10 years, said Tim Gens, executive vice president of the Massachusetts Hospital Association.

"We're talking about almost a decimation of hospital- and university-based research," Orf said. "This is not the time or place you want to cut federal spending."

Hospitals and other health-care providers already are in their second year of a 10-year, $5.6 billion cut under the Affordable Care Act, Gens said, and if Congress fails to reach a compromise, another $1.1 billion would be slashed over 10 years across all Medicare providers, mostly in hospitals.

Those cuts could result in 17,400 health-care jobs lost in Massachusetts, including 11,200 in the first year alone, according to the American Hospital Association.

The defense industry, which employs more than 130,000 people in Massachusetts, receives $13.9 billion in contracts, 20 percent of which would be cut, according to the Massachusetts Defense Technology Initiative.

"The consequences are drastic from an economic perspective, but the consequences those cuts would have on our ability to defend the nation are even more disturbing," said Christopher Anderson, the group's president. "Rather than looking at whether something is a priority or not, the cuts would be across the board."

Alex Zaroulis, spokeswoman for the state Executive Office of Administration and Finance, said it's important to remember that the fiscal cliff would result not only from budget cuts but also from the expiration of tax breaks.

"The combination of those two things," Zaroulis said, "would likely drive the economy into recession."

Boston Scientific, among others, making moves

Major employers in MetroWest played another round of musical chairs yesterday as Boston Scientific made plans to move its headquarters to Marlboro and leave its Natick campus behind for software maker MathWorks.

Starting next spring, the medical device giant will shift about 800 jobs to the three-building Marlboro campus it bought in 2004 while in expansion mode.

"Consolidating our ... facilities is expected to foster greater collaboration and efficiency, benefitting our employees, our customers and, ultimately, the patients they treat," said new CEO Mike Mahoney.

Meanwhile, MathWorks is finalizing a deal to buy Boston Scientific's campus even as it finishes constructing a fourth building at its own bustling base a mile away on Route 9 where it employs 1,800.

"MathWorks is fortunate to be in a growth mode, and is pleased at the prospect of expanding into such a renowned property ... situated so close to our current campus," said Jeanne O'Keefe, MathWorks' finance chief.

Boston Scientific has occupied its three-building campus between the Natick Mall and Lake Cochituate since 1995. The site was previously home to Prime Computer in the 1980s and Carling's Brewery in the '70s.

The moves represent a win-win situation for Marlboro and Natick, suburbs known for their major corporations and job centers, according to Garry Holmes, a top MetroWest broker working for MathWorks.

"When the timing hits and you need some expansion space, there's only so many places they can make these big numbers work," said Holmes, president of R.W. Holmes Realty in Wayland. "I think it's a real positive and good to see these companies take advantage of the opportunities."

Marlboro's office vacancy rate spiked to 32 percent, the worst in Massachusetts, amid a corporate exodus that ended when retailer TJX said it would buy a campus Fidelity Investments was dumping for out-of-state digs, and Quest Diagnostics said it would fill an old Hewlett-Packard site with 1,200 workers.

"Companies continue to view Marlboro as an optimal location for their operations," said Tim Cummings, head of the city's economic development agency.

TJX subsequently purchased its longtime headquarters on the Natick-Framingham line. The operator of T.J. Maxx and Marshalls expects to eventually employ 1,600 at each campus.

The MathWorks growth will help make up for Natick losing longtime tenant BJ's Wholesale Club to Westboro. BJ's filled a former National Grid space.

Westboro is where the music started playing five years ago, when Framingham-based Bose expanded into an office complex abandoned by Hopkinton-based tech giant EMC.

Massachusetts high-end housing market holds steady

The number of homes selling for $1 million and over in Massachusetts was 1,915 during the past year, almost unchanged from the 1,913 homes that sold for $1 million and over the year before. Here's a look at five properties that sold recently in the Bay State for a cool $1 million:

At 82 Middle St. in Newburyport, an award-winning restoration of The Ebenezer Dole House has resulted in an artful blend of historic ambiance and modern amenities. The 1810 Federal period home is located steps from downtown and includes a designer kitchen with granite counters, a Wolf range, Sub Zero fridge, walk-in fireplace and an office area.

Listing broker Margaret Cargill of RE/MAX on the River said, "Buyers are seeking renovations that feature an open floor plan including a family room, open kitchen and dining area as well as a full master suite."

The 2,900-square-foot, four-bedroom home includes a master suite with a 25-foot Carrara marble spa bath, soaking tub and walk-in closet.

This architect-designed, 3,869-square-foot home is located at 280 Great Meadows Road in Concord. The house sits on 4.7 acres overlooking Borden's Pond and has over 600 feet of pond frontage. Sold by listing agent Wade Staniar of Landvest, the property is configured as two separate units with kitchens on the first and second floors.

Carved out of a handsome stone church, Unit 4 at 444 Mount Auburn St. in Waltham is a three-bedroom, 3,850-square-foot condo that has its own four-story bell tower with views into Boston.

Listing agent Gail Roberts of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, who sold the property, said, "It was so unique and dramatic in that it offered buyers multiple uses for the space."

The living room boasts a 30-foot ceiling plus a fireplace and the eat-in-kitchen has granite counters, stainless-steel appliances as well as an island. Other details include interior stone arches, arched windows and a 22-foot cathedral ceiling in the master suite.

The sellers of 55 Alexander Ave. in Belmont made careful and informed choices as they reconfigured the layout and renovated extensively with high quality materials, said listing broker Susan Murie of ePlace Real Estate.

The 2,056-square-foot, single-family home includes an eat-in kitchen, custom cabinets, as well as a marble fireplace and surround sound. New plumbing, electric, windows and a roof were added in 2005.

"When finishing the new addition, the sellers sourced slate tiles from Vermont to match the existing roof tiles of the original part of the building. Smart renovation decisions made while preserving the unique charm inspired multiple offers on the home that was originally listed for $940,000," Murie said.

Elizabeth Bone of Macdonald & Wood Sotheby's International Realty, who listed 670 Washington St. in Duxbury, said, "This home is a waterfront paradise, where you can moor your boat close by, paddle your kayak or swim in the Blue River."

The six-bedroom, 5,300-square-foot home has water views on two sides and was originally established as the First Bank of Duxbury in 1833.

Completely restored, the home has three levels, four-and-a-half baths and six fireplaces.

Brandon Lloyd's leap

By now, word has gotten out about Brandon Lloyd's daring jump over a car that was traveling 35 miles per hour as part of a challenge by Mobile Technology's company MobiSquad.

For those who were more than a little concerned the Patriots [team stats] wide receiver was unnecessarily risking his health and jeopardizing his status with the AFC-East division-leading club, fear not.

The video of Lloyd's amazing leap, which was shot in Arizona during the offseason and is expected to be released early today, isn't quite what it seems.

Lloyd, in fact, yesterday admitted there were some "camera tricks" involved, and he would never put himself in harm's way with his career on the line. He understands how it might seem, but cautions not to get too caught up in the danger element.

''It's more so about the product than the actual act,'' Lloyd said. "As an athlete, when you do something like that, and it seems like there's a lot of danger involved, and there's a lot of controversy, it raises the awareness. The product is a mobile payment device for small businesses.

''I think that's more (the message) than the danger involved,'' he went on. ''Obviously, I'm not going to do anything to jeopardize my career ... so we can say I jumped a car for small business.''

Lloyd said if the personal risk was too great, he wouldn't have been involved. As for signing off with Patriots coach Bill Belichick, the wideout, who has 37 catches for 435 yards with three touchdowns, indicated he hadn't since it was filmed in the summer.

Also, to try and prevent people at home from trying to repeat the feat, Lloyd indicated there is "a large disclaimer" before the video warning this challenge is not advised.

LA Laker Kobe Bryant performed a similar stunt.

So why was Lloyd chosen to leap over MobiSquad's signature purple Smart Car?

He still holds his high school's record in the high jump at 7 feet, 2 inches, and wasn't too bad in the long jump and high hurdles.

Said Lloyd: ''It was amazing.''

The Pats receiver indicated he became involved through friend Nate Reis, the CEO of MobiSquad.

''He's been a friend of mine for three years,'' Lloyd said. ''He thought it would be a good idea to see if we could do a partnership. So we were just tossing around some ideas.

Students, mentors invest in StoxSmart

The Herald's StoxSmart program is back as a new class of budding student entrepreneurs learn the money management and financial skills necessary to tackle the unpredictable stock market.

Suffolk Construction CEO John Fish returns for a second year, this time to mentor two Madison Park Technical Vocational High School students.

The program's second installment also welcomes a new mentor, Dr. Ralph de la Torre, chairman and CEO of Steward Health Care System, who will team up with TechBoston Academy students Edson Brito and Ephraim Norman.

StoxSmart mentors, who include Herald business editor Frank Quaratiello and Cabot Money Management President Rob Lutts, work with their student partners to come up with the best way to invest $1 million in the stock market.

The contest officially kicks off Jan. 1 and runs through the first quarter. The Herald will keep tabs on the competition every Monday in the BizSmart section and with a blog at bostonherald.com.

"The idea here is to learn as much as you can and have some fun doing it," Herald publisher Patrick Purcell told students yesterday.

"Really try to make the most of the experience, because it's a unique one," added Editor-in-Chief Joe Sciacca.

Fish and de la Torre have agreed to provide complimentary iPads to the students and to work with other Hub business leaders to create summer internships.

"It's a fabulous time to get involved and ask a lot of questions and challenge yourself to ask those questions," Fish said.

Brito, a 17-year-old senior, agreed: "I want this to be a huge learning experience for me."

De la Torre said StoxSmart would establish "a framework to learn about business stocks as well as expand horizons."

"We're going to talk about the market and think about opportunities that are America- and world-driven," he said.

Pay-what-you-can Panera

Written By Unknown on Senin, 05 November 2012 | 20.25

The charitable arm of Panera Bread Co. plans to bring one of its nonprofit, pay-what-you-want cafes to Boston.

Panera Bread Foundation's donation-based Panera Cares Community Cafe is slated to open at 3 Center Plaza next year.

The cafes' mission is to serve each person who walks through their doors "with dignity regardless of their means." That includes customers who can't pay anything.

Menus at the Panera Cares cafes are consistent with those at Panera Bread's 1,625 for-profit restaurants, but they have "suggested donation levels" in lieu of set prices, and the cafes have donation bins instead of cash registers.

Customers also have the option of donating an hour of volunteer time in the cafes in exchange for a meal as a way to "add dignity" to the experience.

Brookline resident Ron Shaich, chairman and CEO of the St. Louis-based Panera Bread, is the foundation's president. He was not available for comment.

The foundation launched its fourth Panera Cares in Chicago in June, after piloting the concept in Clayton, Mo., in 2010. "Opening a new Panera Cares community cafe brings the Panera experience with dignity to all — those who can afford it, those who need a hand up and everyone in between," Shaich said in a statement when the Chicago location opened. "The vision for the Panera Cares cafe is to use Panera's unique restaurant skills to address real societal needs and make a direct impact in communities."

The goal is for each cafe to generate sufficient donations to cover direct costs. Current revenue is about 70 percent to 75 percent of the food's retail value. An estimated 60 percent of customers leave the suggested donation, 15 percent to 20 percent leave more, and 15 percent to 20 percent leave less or nothing.

Panera spokeswoman Kate Antonacci confirmed that Panera Cares would open in early 2013 at Center Plaza, but declined to release details. "Panera and the Panera Bread Foundation are committed to raising awareness about the ever-growing problem of food insecurity in this country and providing opportunities for communities to be part of solutions," she said. "As such, Panera Cares is coming to Boston in early 2013."

Other Panera Cares Community Cafes are located in Dearborn, Mich., and Portland, Ore.
