S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Washington, DC 24 April 2008 The Small Business Exporters Association of the United States™ America’s Premier Association for Small and Mid-Sized Exporters® 1156 15th St. NW, Suite 1100 Washington, DC 20005 (202) 659-9320 Fax: (202) 872-8543 www.sbea.org Chairman Sherman, Ranking Member Royce, members of the Subcommittee, thank you for inviting me to testify here today. I am James Morrison, President of the Small Business Exporters Association of the United States. SBEA is the nation’s oldest and largest nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to small and mid-sized U.S. exporters.1 We are also the International Trade Council of the National Small Business Association. Founded in 1937, NSBA is our country’s oldest nonprofit advocacy organization for small business. Today it serves over 150,000 small companies. On behalf of the 22,000 U.S. exporters that SBEA represents, we thank you for your interest in strengthening export promotion. This is a moment of both danger and opportunity for the United States in international trade. We are facing massive trade deficits – over $700 billion in 2007. Yet despite the record high costs of our energy imports, that figure was actually $50 billion lower in than the 2006 trade deficit. One reason is the dollar’s lower exchange rate against major currencies like the euro.

    GRAND JURY PRIZE 2014: HONORABLE MENTION TRAILER: https://vimeo.com/96674696 Press: Linda Brown / Indie PR/ 818.753.0700 / [email protected] LOGLINE The death of a family friend brings a father and son to the intoxicating city of New Orleans. Amidst the colorful vibrance of the city, strained relationships unravel, forcing them to bury the past and let go of the present in order to rebuild their future. SYNOPSIS Billy is struggling to save the on-again, off-again relationship with his live-in girlfriend, Emily when he gets a call from his father, another on-again, off-again relationship. Often controlling and always overbearing, his father has bought a ticket for Billy to join him in New Orleans for the funeral of a close family friend. But the struggling musician can’t: He has to stay in town for a possible meeting with a London-based producer which could be his big break. His father insists he join him in the city that holds so much family history. Billy grudgingly boards a plane and heads to the Big Easy. Once there, Billy and his father open up to each other slowly and reluctantly share their women problems. Both men are in bad relationships and can’t let go. Eventually, they get to the center of their own rocky past and things heat up. When Billy misses his only chance to meet with the producer because he in New Orleans, he blames his father for this, and everything else that has gone wrong with his life leading up to it.

Ottoman soldiers and their Kurdish and Persian militia partners subjected hundreds of thousands of Assyrians to a deliberate and systematic campaign of massacre, torture, abduction, deportation, impoverishment, and cultural and ethnic destruction. Established principles of international law outlawed this war of extermination against Ottoman Christian civilians before it was embarked upon, and ample evidence of genocidal intent has surfaced in the form of admissions by Ottoman officials. Nevertheless, the international community has been hesitant to recognize the Assyrian experience as a form of genocide.

  • Perspectives on the Islamic World in German-Language Travel Writing by Women in the Long Nineteenth Century
    FORUM: Postkoloniale Arbeiten / Postcolonial Studies Orientalisms and Cosmopolitanisms: Perspectives on the Islamic World in German-Language Travel Writing by Women in the Long Nineteenth Century James Hodkinson Abstract This essay examines the differing contexts and modes of encounter with Islamic culture in the travel writing of two contrasting women, the Prussian Countess Ida Hahn-Hahn and the Austrian Maria Schuber: both travelled to and wrote from the Middle East in the 1830s and 1840s and published their letters as collections. The encounters both women had with Islam were conditioned, at least in part, by their respective stance on religion, issues of gender and social class, and by the obligations of patronage and the expectations of distinct readerships. Whilst both women can be seen to write about Islam as a religion and culture defined by its differ- ence to Christianity, both can also be seen in differing ways and to differing extents to represent Islam and Muslims as simultaneously belonging to a universal and inclusive notion of humanity and human religion. Thus, without embracing high philosophical discourse of Kant or Hegel, both women can be seen to demonstrate cosmopolitan impulses towards Islam, although these jostle for ascen- dancy with a more Eurocentric, Christian and indeed völkisch vision of the relationship between cul- tures. Author Dr James Hodkinson read German and English Literature at Durham University and gained his PhD from Trinity College Dublin. He has been a lecturer at Cardiff University and Oxford Brookes Univer- sity in the UK, before coming to Warwick University in 2006, where he is now Associate Professor in German Studies.

  • Framing Families: 'Deserving' Vs 'Undeserving'
    Framing families: ‘deserving’ vs ‘undeserving’ households and neighbourhoods as glimpsed through juvenile panic stories in the online press By Dr James Morrison, Reader in Journalism, Robert Gordon University, UK. [email protected] Abstract Highly dramatized narratives about children have become a staple of late-modern popular discourse - from media-stoked horror stories about child abuse and abduction to more conventional moral panics, often mobilized by politicians and state agencies, about juvenile delinquency and youth deviancy. But, besides presenting a distorted impression of the world(s) children inhabit – and childhood itself - these narratives frequently offer a thinly veiled, simplistic critique of what constitutes good and bad parents/guardians (and good and bad families, communities and neighbourhoods). Based on framing analysis of selected British national newspaper stories published in print and online during early 2016 – and the reader discussion-threads accompanying them – this paper focuses on identifying contrasting patterns in the way children and families from poorer households, neighbourhoods and communities are represented and perceived in the context of singular, dramatic events. It uses the prism of the ‘juvenile panic’ narrative – a story positioning the young as victims of moral degeneracy and/or threats to the moral order – to investigate underlying discourses about the comparative levels of ‘deservingness’ of different children and families, and the types of families (and communities) they are held to symbolize. 1 The paper argues that, too often, decisions about the relative newsworthiness of child victim and/or threat narratives involving lower-income households are based not on objective news judgment but on normative, largely commercially driven, decisions about their ‘deserving’ or ‘undeserving’ status.
