    Fifth-grade teacher Carolyn Allen and her friends attend Zumba classes in the building that once was a gymnasium for workers at the nearby General Motors Saturn Division plant. Not far away, the automakers former

    headquarters now houses a call center and an incubator for start-up businesses.

    In those ways and others, Spring Hill, the town that GM built, has reinvented itself.

    No longer a company town, the city has become a thriving retail and residential center where most of the 31,000 residents have no direct association with the automaker. A growing number, in fact, arrived after Saturn ceased production and GM temporarily idled the factory in 2007.

    It does seem that Spring Hill has been resilient,

    says Allen, who moved from nearby Thompsons Station in 2006.

    Allen and her husband, Ronnie Sowell, purchased a house in Belshire, one of the fast-growing subdivisions in Spring Hill and its neighboring communities that are home to commuters who travel I-65 to Nashville or to jobs in neighboring counties. Sowells employer is in Maury County. Spring Hill straddles the Williamson-Maury county line.

    Allens friends and neighbors arrived from Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and California. A few came to work for GM, but others were attracted by the quality of life and low cost of living in southern Middle Tennessee.

  • By Hollie Deese | Correspondent

    Six months in, Tennesseans are dealing with sequester cuts as best they can.

    To date, among those hardest hit: Head Start, food programs for the elderly and disabled, and Fort Campbell.

    Most local agencies have found a way to absorb sequester cuts through the end of the fiscal year, but not without some difficulty, and predictions for next year are no better.

    We were cut about $1.7 million dollars, and about $900,000 of that was in home-delivered meals, says Ryan Ellis, Tennessee Commission on Aging and Disability communications director.

    That number is statewide. In the greater Nashville area, that translated to $154,100 in cuts, or nearly 25,000 meals. Were trying to figure out how to absorb that without hopefully cutting too many seniors off their meals. Its only been six months, and like any good program we were prepared for the worst. So we had a little money and reserves on the off chance that a disaster like this would happen.

    Agencies and individuals who depend on government assistance have reason to be skittish.

    Congress is supposed to agree on a spending bill by Sept. 30, the end of their fiscal year. If it doesnt pass a new budget, the federal government will partially shut down.

    To avoid this, Congress could pass

    a continuing resolution to keep the government spending at the current sequester levels for another three months until a larger deal can be reached. The full fiscal 2014 operating budget begins Oct. 1.

    In addition, a bill passed last week by the U.S. House would cut $40 billion from the food stamp program, but it isnt likely to pass the Senate. There will be automatic cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program [SNAP, or food stamps] in November whether the House bill moves forward or not. In the beginning

    Sequestration dates back to 2011 when Congress passed a law stating that if members couldnt agree on a plan to reduce the nations deficit by $4 trillion which included $2.5 trillion previously cut through a combination of spending cuts and increased tax rates then another $1 trillion in automatic, across-the-board budget cuts would start to take effect in 2013.

    There was no compromise in Congress, and the impact of sequestration began in Tennessee in March of this year.

    The sequester was a necessary evil, says Jeremy Rettick, NAIFA, chief marketing officer of Covenant Reliance Producers in Nashville.

    The government has been on an unsustainable spending course for many years. In the 20s, U.S. spending as it relates to GDP (gross domestic product) was around 10 percent, and is now over 70 percent. This is the highest level in history other than a brief period during WWII. We have to get our financial house in order to provide a strong America to future generations.

    Attempts were made by some Tennessee lawmakers to use a $100 million increase from the states rainy day fund to help those hardest hit by the cuts.

    I was unsuccessful in convincing the Republicans that we needed to hold the very vulnerable citizens of Tennessee harmless from the sequestration cuts, says

    Sen. Jim Kyle (D-Memphis). We had growth money. The revenue reports have come in and we were over-collecting based upon our projections. It was clear we had very conservative revenue estimates.

    We have the money to hold seniors harmless and Head Start children, in particular, harmless from the sequestration cuts. What were talking about is people going to bed hungry. Senior citizens the Greatest Generation are going to bed hungry, and were making a political point. And if I sound bitter, I am.More cuts to come?

    The states share of sequester cuts was not insignificant. The White House projected before the sequester kicked in that Head Start and Early Head Start services in Tennessee would be eliminated for 1,200 children.

    In August, the Office of Head Start reported it was actually 2,442 Tennessee children who had been cut from the Department of Human and Health Services program that provides education and nutritional help to low-income children and their families.

    Since we have more money than we need to operate the government, one cannot argue that we chose between one program or the other, Sen. Kyle says. What we did choose to do was make our savings account bigger. Its kind of like having a small child and opening up a 529 account for them, but not feeding them. Were saving for your future, but we cant worry about today.

    Ellis feels things will be even worse next year. We have no hope that we are going to get the money back anytime soon, he says. Were just praying we wont get cut more.

    That scenario probably isnt likely. Norma Powell, assistant director the

    Greater Nashville Regional Council Area Agency on Aging and Disability, says after their initial round of cuts this year, there will need to cut an additional $124,800

    Whether youre in the for-profit or nonprofit world, you have a front-line sales team.

    It doesnt matter if they are selling products, services or the benefits of donating to your organization its all sales.

    There are fundamental skills that make or break all salespeople, regardless of the category they represent.

    Likewise, there are often universal failures among those who dont find success in the field.

    In fact, the Harvard Business Review reports that only one in three working salespeople is consistently effective, with only one out of 250 exceeding their targeted sales goals.

    Based on the sales reps Ive coached throughout my career, here are five of the top reasons sales people fail.

    Check back next week for the next five to round out the top 10 list.Lack of discipline:

    Sales is a numbers game. The key to success is to develop an activity plan and work your plan every day.

    Start your day with the toughest task you dread the most.

    If that dreaded task is cold calling, start your calls as soon as you walk in the door and dont stop until you have set the number of meetings youre targeting.

    After that, the rest of the day will be a piece of cake.Failure to leverage happy clients:

    Every quarter, invite your happiest clients to lunch.Find out what you can do to improve their experience,

    and then brainstorm about others they know that you can also assist. Fear of determining real buying intentions:

    Too often, salespeople avoid asking the hard questions that ultimately qualify or disqualify a prospect, such as their intent and ability to buy.

    Ask these questions early in the sales process to avoid spinning your wheels.Presenting vs. listening:

    Roughly seven out of 10 salespeople kick off a new prospect meeting by diving straight into their pitch.

    The better way is to start by listening asking open-ended, high-impact questions to learn whats important to a prospect, and then adapting your pitch to fit his or her needs.

    A universal truth in sales is that prospects are more inclined to buy when they feel listened to.

    The added benefit is that active listening affords you the opportunity to identify additional selling opportunities.Greater desire to convince than consult and solve problems:

    Great salespeople dont walk into every sale assuming the prospect has a need for what theyre selling.

    Instead, their objective is to ask good questions and learn whats important to them.

    If your prospect is in need of your services and you qualify them as a good customer, great.

    If not, see if there are other problems you can solve for that prospect which may ultimately create a loyal referral source down the road.

    Real estate transactions are not fair, not even close to equitable. For the most part, sellers are not forced to sell, at least not here, not now, Nashville being the It City and all.

    With all of the sales and all of the records falling, its surprising to find there exists a sect of disgruntled sellers.

    Those sellers are the owners of houses that need work, be it an addition, renovation, demolition or reconstruction. Their houses are enigmatic inasmuch as that any of the aforementioned acts may or may not result in an acceptable return, if any, on the investment.

    Some houses need renovation, but that comes at extreme expense and aggravation. Furthermore, the renovation may not match the market. If a house is a tear-down, why fix anything? After all, the buyers are reducing the house to mere rubble.

    Heres where the inequity prevails. In a number of sales across the city, buyers purchase houses that are in need of TLC, elbow grease, sweat equity, perhaps even an architect or contractor. That being the case, the houses are usually listed for less than the market with the realization that they need work.

    Along come the buyers, who offer considerably less than the already low list price due to the condition of the house and the fact that the houses have languished on the market for an exorbitant number of lengthy, lonely days and lonely nights.

    The sellers are excited to hear that offers are forthcoming and dreadfully disappointed in the prices offered. Yet, they must negotiate, as there are no other buyers in sight. In the end, they must accept a lower price than the reduced list price.

    At this point the inspector appears and cites all of the shortcomings that haunt the property, many of which were reasons for the lower list price and the barely acceptable contract price.

    The buyers, having developed convenient cases of amnesia, insist upon repairs or money in lieu of the work apparently forgetting the reason for the remarkably low price that the sellers accepted.

    The extorted sellers succumb and forfeit their money while gaining new disdain for the buyers. When the buyers take the money, or even worse, insist upon repairs, only to bulldoze the structure, the sellers are sickened. In their minds they envision the treads of Sherman tanks rolling over the recently soldered, brand new copper pipes beneath the porcelain bowl in the granite vanity top beside the recently installed GFCI outlets.

    They sift through the rubble after the roars of the bulldozers engines subside. As

    they pilfer through the debris, they locate the prized belongings, such as the skull of one of their daughters dolls. Alas, poor Barbie! I knew her, Horatio.

    The house in need of improvement provides challenges for sellers and their Realtors in other ways. The reason for this is that when most buyers search for properties on any of the various websites, they look for the most that they can afford.

    And there is the rub.Buyers are prepared to spend, for

    example, $450,000. They enter a house in a $700,000 neighborhood in hopes of participating in the real estate investors dream purchasing the lowest-priced house on the street. And, it is.

    Of course it is in the worst condition of any house on the street, ergo the price.

    Lets assume this house requires $250,000 in order to achieve perfection. The numbers work as the list price of $450,000 plus the renovations of $250,000 would leave the owner with the best $700,000 maybe even $800,000 house on the street.

    Unfortunately, for this seller, the $700,000 buyers are looking at $700,000 houses, not $450,000 homes.

    Even if buyers were hoping to find a diamond in the sky, or rough, or wherever, theyd be hard-pressed to find a lender to play along.

    They would need money, a whole lotta money. For, as it stands, most lenders require at least five percent down, often more, and then they will loan 95% or so of the value of the house as it sits, not what it could be.

    So, sadly, the island of misfit houses awaits its Rudolph until such time as the grinches will have their way. And, remember, only 89 shopping days until Christmas.Sale of the Week

    The Tennessee Titans and their future Hall of Fame quarterback Jake, not the snake, Locker pulled off the first of his soon-to-be ho-hum come-from-behind victories, snapping a 21-year losing streak to the San Diego Chargers.

    The Tennessee team, once known for its consistency and ability to sustain long drives and miraculous plays, had fallen onto difficult times.

    It is virtually impossible for all who witnessed, tuned into Mike and Frank, or read of the victory to fail to recall

    the same resurgence of the Brookside community that is located off of White Bridge Road near Target.

    Beginning in the 1970s, the late and highly regarded Nelson Andrew gained control of all of the streets such a Kendall, Knob, Alden, Stoneway and Vine Ridge and converted scores of 1,444-square-foot duplexes into 1,444-square-foot single family homes, all with three bedrooms and two baths, plus fireplaces, a rarity in an affordable home in that area with Hillwood in its backyard.

    They sold like crazy then and never stopped, almost never. Their proximity to St. Thomas Hospital, I-40 and Vanderbilt Hospital lured medical residents to the area, earning it the nickname Residents Row.

    Houses appreciated 10 percent a year with the efficiency of a healthy Al Del

    Greco and as steady as Eddie George and Frank Wychek. You could set your calendar by it, $10,000 per year for eons. Then, it happened. The Great Recession.

    In 2010, the 1,444s sold from $207,000 to $275,000 after having plummeted to the $160,000s about the time the Titans were experiencing similar results.

    This week, Jack Miller, a veteran real estate all-star, put the community of Brookside on his back and drove it the length of the field to an all-time high of $315,000 with his sale of 5608 Kendall.

    Since there are no goalposts nearby, neighbors might tear down the WSMV tower in celebration of Millers Herculean accomplishment.

    The worlds athletes will return to Japan in 2020. The worlds investors are already there.

    Tokyo was selected earlier this month to host the 2020 summer Olympics, as it did in 1964. Japans Nikkei 225 index rose 2.5 percent the day after the selection was made on optimism that it will help the countrys construction

    and tourism industries. Hosting the Olympics has also

    historically correlated with a boost in exports, according to a study by researchers from the Haas School of Business at the University of California and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. Trade is about 30 percent higher for Olympics hosts, and the

    researchers say it may be because it signals the country has a policy of openness.

    This screen shows world stock funds that have at least 10 percent of their assets in Japanese stocks. All the funds also have four-star ratings or better from Morningstar and relatively low expense ratios.

    Mortgage rates have hovered near historic lows in recent years, helping make homes more affordable.

    Rates have remained low thanks to the Federal Reserve, which has kept short-term interest rates near zero since December 2008 and has been buying billions in mortgage and U.S. Treasury bonds to encourage more borrowing and spending in a slow-growth economy.

    By buying Treasurys, the central bank drives up the government bond prices, and makes their yields fall.

    But starting in May, the market saw a sell-off in bonds, after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said the central bank was prepared to cut back its bond-buying program if the economy looked strong enough.

    In the ensuing months, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note bond has risen as prices have declined.

    Higher Treasury yields tend to drive up the cost of borrowing on home loans.

    Heres a look at how Treasury yields have affected mortgage rates in recent years:

    Under Armour made its name in sportswear circles by making exercise clothing for athletes.

    The company, which was founded in 1996 and is based in Baltimore, has expanded its product line over the years beyond its moisture-wicking leggings and tops to T-shirts, shoes, accessories and more. It also now sells clothing to women and kids. Demand for its wares has helped increase revenue 23 percent and earnings 19 percent this year, despite competition from brands like Nike and Adidas. This summer, Under Armour raised its outlook for the year, citing momentum in its clothing business and market share gains for its shoes.COMICS-INSPIRED: Under Armour inked a deal with Marvel Entertain-ment and DC Comics to make clothing based on Superman, Batman and other superheroes.DEFENDING MARGINS: Faced with rivals selling the compression sport leggings and shirts for which Under Armour is known for less than the companys $25 price, Under Armour has raised prices on some products. Its Alter Ego line now sells for $45 and $60, up from $25.

    DELUGEInvestors rushed for the exits last month from all sorts of mutual funds that invest in bonds. They yanked a net $18.2 billion last month from intermediate-term bond mutual funds, the most popular type of bond fund, according to Morningstar. The departures were the result of fear about rising interest rates: When interest rates rise, prices of existing bonds fall, and the yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose above 2.8 percent in August from 1.6 percent in May.

    But interest rates fell last week after the Federal Reserve surprised markets by holding steady on its bond-buying stimulus program, when many investors expected a paring back. The 10-year yield dropped below 2.7 percent on Wednesday.

    NOT SO HEALTHY RETURNS Fewer patients are getting admitted to hospitals. While that may sound encouraging to public health officials, its discour-aging for investors in hospital stocks. Last month, inpatient hospital admissions fell between 3 percent and 4 percent, according to a survey by Citi Research. And of those who were admitted, more patients lacked insurance to pay for their bills. That means third-quarter earnings for the industry will likely depend on hospitals cutting their expenses, rather than on increases in revenue, says Citi analyst Gary Taylor.

    MarketPulseCLAMPING DOWNThe rush to borrow by companies across the country slowed down last month. Companies raised $149 billion in August by issuing bonds, according to Standard & Poors Global Fixed Income Research. That may seem like a big number, but its the lowest monthly issuance since December 2011. It also comes after companies raised an average of $322 billion monthly from January through May. The reason: Borrowing became more expensive for companies after interest rates rose during the late summer.

  • GM is betting on the magic. The company announced in August that it would bring 1,800 additional jobs to the assembly plant and adding an additional $167 million for two new projects, both expected to be mid-size vehicles.

    General Motors is a driver of the areas economy, but not the only one, says David McGowan, president of Regent Homes.Population growth

    As GM went through its changes, Spring Hill and the surrounding area continued to grow. Even before the company announced its 1,800 additional jobs, Spring Hill city officials were already making plans to hold a special census.

    They believe the population has grown by a couple of thousand residents, to 31,000, since the last full census in 2010. If that is confirmed, the city will receive an additional $200,000 in taxes it shares with the state.

    That cash would be welcome in a city that has recently built new elementary, middle and high schools to keep up with growth, says City Administrator Victor Lay.

    Homeowners looking for good values are pushing growth south along Interstate 65 from Brentwood and Franklin, he says.

    Folks can have the same home for a little bit less money, Lay says.

    Commercial growth has kept pace with the regions population. Major retailers including Kohls and Target have stores in Spring Hill. Maury Regional Medical Center and HCA have health care facilities there. A Super Walmart will open soon. Mars Petcare is building an $87 million innovation center in Thompsons

    Station. The area has become a miniature Cool

    Springs, says Peder Jensen, director of sales for the Jones Co.More affordable homes

    Many Spring Hill residents are families or downsizers looking for home prices that are more affordable than Franklin or Brentwood to the north, closer to Nashville.

    Take a $450,000 house in Franklin, says Tony James with the Jones Co., the company that built Allens house. You can get that same house for $350,000. Franklin is congested and theres not much developable land. People are having to go south.

    Thats what Art and Susan Mann did

    when they moved from Florida to be closer to their grandchildren in Franklin. The Manns decided not to return to Brentwood, where they once owned a house.

    For the value, you couldnt beat Spring

    Hill, said Susan Mann. When they moved away in the late

    1990s, Spring Hill was only a fraction of its current size.

    There wasnt much out here, says Art Mann. Now, Spring Hill has so much more to offer, a country setting and people are able to get more house for the money.

    The Manns home in the Wades Grove subdivision was built by John Maher Builders. John Maher, the companys owner, says Spring Hill is attracting home owners who have no association with the General Motors factory.

    Once they get here, they dont want to leave, says Maher, who is building in the Wades Grove, Spring Hill Place and Benevento subdivisions in Spring Hill and the Bridgemore Village subdivision in Thompsons Station. Home prices range from the low $200,000s to $500,000.

    Most of the seven houses Maher builds each month are sold before they are finished. He expects demand for new homes to grow.

    That sixth sense you have, it feels good. Im getting hit from every side by positive signs, he adds.

    Other builders also are swinging hammers as fast as they can. Ole South has built more than 1,000 homes in Spring Hill since 2001, says Trey Lewis, vice president of sales and marketing.

    The company is building homes on both the Williamson County and Maury County sides of Spring Hill. Starting prices range from the low $100,000s to the mid-$200,000s, well below the price range in much of Williamson County.

    The average home price in Williamson County was $414,588 in August,

    He was pretty sure the job was his.He successfully interviewed, passed a

    background check, even met the offices other workers. Everything looked positive until you sent a were sorry, but letter. Someone else got hired and, though it wasnt the issue, youre sure he wondered if it happened that way, not because of his skills but because of his skin.

    Hiring on the basis of race or gender is supposedly illegal, but it happens. And in For Discrimination by Randall Kennedy, we read why the author believes affirmative action is an idea that needs to stay.

    It should come as no surprise that discussions of an early form of affirmative action came at the end of the Civil War. It may also come as no surprise that Andrew Johnson opposed a constitutional amendment on the basis that it gave the

    Negro advantages that had never been given to other groups.

    In 1945, New York was the first state to pass a law banning racial discrimination in the workplace. Some 20 years later, the Civil Rights Act made it illegal nationwide. Still, several powerful people then some of them black opposed any law favoring specific races or genders.

    Despite wide-ranging attacks against affirmative action, Kennedy says, it has, remarkably, continued to survive. That may be, arguably, because its sometimes justified as a means of reparation, diversity and integration, and countering ongoing racial prejudice.

    There are, of course, pros and cons to those arguments the single most powerful example of the former being that racial affirmative action seeks to rectify, at least partially, injuries that continue to put certain racial minorities at a competitive disadvantage with white peers.

    Still, some whove benefited also complain that rectification leads to a stigma of having been hired or

    admitted, not based on qualifications, but because of affirmative action itself.

    And what about reverse discrimination, a scenario that affirmative action opponents purport? Kennedy says that they and the disappointed white candidate who feels hes a victim should understand that affirmative action addresses a major social problem: the continuing trauma of racial division in America.

    Racial affirmative action needs to be better targeted, Kennedy says. But not having it would be a calamity.

    Filled with law terms, legal precedents, and words that made my head swim, For Discrimination is very, very academic.

    Author Randall Kennedy is a professor

    of law at Harvard, a graduate of Princeton and a Rhodes Scholar. It shows, and that makes this book hard to read not because of what he says, but for how he says it.

    And yet, this is an important book. Kennedy, who admits to having benefitted from affirmative action, will force a lot of long-needed conversations with his opinions, conversations for which he includes abundant, solid fodder.

    This book is about as far as you can get from a

    casual read, and should be approached with an open mind, general legal knowledge, and a good dictionary. If you can handle that, then go ahead and make For Discrimination yours.
