BIO-FILMDoes your coolant life seem to get progressively shorter and shorter?Do you dump your sump and recharge it with fresh fluid expecting toget another 8-12 months of coolant life, only to have it go rancid yetagain? Then you may have a Bio-Fil problem.

TAX PLANNING...MORE THAN JUSTPULLING THE RABBIT OUT OF THE HATAs the new-year begins, tax payers are sometimes inclined to go in search of a special magic trick to try and reduce their tax burden. While this approach may bear some fruit, it can be as underwhelming as watching your 10-year-old neighbor at the school talent show.

Well, the truth is, “times” have always been “a-changing” haven’t they?But it appears to me that this natural ebb and flow of change has taken on a more dramatic effect withpotentially greater impact to our businesses than in the past.

Some key subjects of note include the Affordable Health Care Act, which will surely have an economicimpact on small businesses, is fully implemented by 2014 (not that far away). Cut backs in militaryspending, increasing competitive pressures on the international front, continued off-shoring of many ofour manufacturing work, the “skills gap” and even a lack of a minimum flow of young people into ourmanufacturing career field.

What to do?

IT APPEARS TO ME THAT NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO RETREAT INTO A SHELL AND HOPE FORTHE BEST. NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO IGNORE REALITIES OF IMPENDING POLITICAL ANDMARKET ACTIONS. NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO FORGET WHY WE HAVE COME TOGETHERAND JOIN AN ASSOCIATION OF LIKE MINDED AND LIKE PURPOSED PEOPLE (ATMA) IN THEFIRST PLACE.

Now IS the time to communicate with each other our needs and our challenges so that others might lend a hand, provide an answer, direction or support. Now IS the time to listen and learn how best toface the future by seeking out those pockets of clarity that we (ATMA) will endeavor to provide in thebest way we can (speakers, information via emails, websites, newly launched ATMA Lunch Forums, etc.).

Now IS the time to look to our industry partners for support and to provide many of the answers we seek (AZPMAP, Arizona Commerce Authority, SME, Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry, etc.).

Now IS the time to continue our (ATMA) focus for next year to provide our members with the best service we can muster based on our small budgets and continued reliance on the efforts of our valuedvolunteers.

Now IS the time to communicate with other members, associates and your board of directors to makeyour voices heard. Give us your thoughts and we will endeavor to provide the answers.

Good luck to us all!

Trend WatchNEWS FROM THE CUTTING EDGE

Advanced Nozzle Technology///The coolant flows from the pump to the tool through nozzles directed exactly at the cuttingzone. This produces a wedge of coolant that efficiently removes the heat from the cuttingzone and forms the chip. Improved chip control and longer tool life are just two of thebenefits which contribute to secure, predictable machining and preventing unplannedmachine stoppages.

Increased productivity can even be achieved in tricky applications and in materials which are difficult to machine, regardless of the pressure you use.

When using low pressure of 5–30 bars (72–435 psi) – the new Sandvik Coromant HPholders outperform regular tool holders which can have a tendency to flood coolant.

At higher coolant pressures, above ~30 bars (435 psi), the new insert geometry collectsthe coolant jets to form an even, powerful wedge that breaks the chips, cools the insert and improves the insert tool life. The higher the pressure, the more difficult materials andapplications can be machined with excellent results.

Tool Holders///The Sandvik Coromant advanced cooling technology has until now been a solution primarily for customers using quick change with Coromant Capto®, SL- and QS holdingsystem. Now, the same premium technology can be applied with general shank tools,making it possible for everyone working with wet machining to utilize this highly productivecoolant solution, even in small lathes.

Washington, D.C. – While numbers in thehistory books will show President Obamawon reelection in a landslide, he does notenter his second term with an overwhelmingmandate. Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill,Republicans held the House by only losing a net eight seats but fell well short in theSenate where Democrats surprisinglygained a net two seats. The Presidentreturns, Republicans still hold the House and Democrats still hold the Senate – wehave status quo, right? Or do we?

With the convening of the 113th Congressin January 2013, the Senate will have 53 Democrats, 45 Republicans and 2Independents who will join Democrats givingthem a 55-45 advantage. The House ofRepresentatives convenes with 233Republicans and 198 Democrats.

Twenty-four sitting members of Congresslost their re-election and we will see 94 new members of Congress. Combine that with the rising Freshman House ofRepresentatives class, and more than 160lawmakers (over 35%) will have less thanthree years of experience in Washington. We see many new faces in Washingtonthese days which means most politicians donot have the long standing relationships withpeople of opposing political parties that isstill needed for compromise in Washington.

There are fewer than a dozen Blue DogDemocrats in the House today when justtwo years ago the fiscally conservativecoalition boasted more than fifty members.Of the 34 Democrats who voted against theAffordable Care Act, less than 10 will returnto Washington. While the Tea Party Caucusofficially has fewer than twenty members, the

number of conservative Republicans has swelled as quickly as the ranks ofconservative Democrats has shrunk; leavinga much more polarized, and inexperienced,Washington.

This comes at a time when policymakers in Washington are considering trillions in tax increases, trillions in budget cuts, and decisions which will impact everymanufacturer in the country. While theelection results returned the status quo,business as usual in Washington just won’tcut it this time and many lawmakers arebeginning to realize that.

Lawmakers in Washington and White House officials are sending clear signals thatcomprehensive tax reform is emerging asamong the top priorities in 2013. Questionsstill remain however; especially regarding thetop income tax rates, how to tax SubchapterS Corporations and other passthroughs whopay rates at the individual level, and whichdeductions and credits to eliminate or limit.

While tax reform will dominate much of thebusiness community’s time, politicians arestill searching for the political courage toembark on entitlement reform which all sidesagree is central to solving the nation’s fiscalproblems. Congress will still have to finishfunding the federal government for theprevious year when the White House sends up the FY2014 Budget in Februarywhich further complicates the fiscal cliff negotiations. The backlog of bills inCongress is long and only growing - fromthe Workforce Investment Act to a SurfaceTransportation Infrastructure bill to a solutionfor doctor reimbursement rates and fundingfor critical defense programs and bases.

These are just a sample of the itemsCongress must address by the end of March2013. One would think Washington has its hands full and enough on its plate. Yetone law already in place will impact everyAmerican – the health reform law known as the Affordable Care Act. States and theFederal Government will begin enrollingAmericans into qualifying health plans onOctober 1, 2013 ahead of the January 1st coverage start date. Regulators inWashington, D.C. continue to issue the new rules and regulations to implement thehealth care plans in each state.

Each Congress in recent memory hascontinued the stalemate tradition of theirpredecessors and procrastinates worse thana college student on exam night. However,this year is different. The perfect stormcreated by the self-imposed fiscal cliff, taxreform, health care implementation, amongothers, impacts every corner of the countryand every industry in every sector.

As 2013 starts, we may have a newCongress with the same President, but thistime around, we need different results fromWashington.

As the accompanying article indicates, yourworkforce is critical to your success. And it’sa messy endeavor when people are involved.You must be able to “cut-and-run” --- yourability to adapt in order to effectively lead this dynamic, new workforce is essential.Understand that you have a core leadershipstyle, but you are not trapped in that style.You have the power to select different waysof thinking, acting and behaving in yourleadership activities. In fact, you MUSTadopt leadership flexibility in order toeffectively respond to your unique mix ofworkers. Adapting is critical and a recentHarvard Business Review study determinedthat a manager’s leadership style wasresponsible for 30% of a company’s bottom-line profitability!

In Leadership That Gets Results by Daniel Goleman, six leadership styles areuncovered. Which of these styles reflectsyour preferred style?

The Pacesetting Leader expects andmodels excellence and self-direction . . .“Do as I do, now.”

The Authoritative Leader mobilizes theteam toward a common vision and focuseson the end goals . . . “Come with me.”

The Affiliative Leader works to createemotional bonds that bring a feeling ofbonding and belonging to the team . . .“People come first.”

Companies have been stuck in a rut . . . holding back from growing despite record-low financing costs.“Uncertainty” has been the word of the day and risk avoidance became the rule-of-thumb. But as we move into 2013, growth may once again become the norm and you must be prepared to lead your workers.

The Coaching Leader develops people forthe future . . . “Try this.”

The Coercive Leader demands immediatecompliance . . . “Do what I tell you.”

The Democratic Leader builds consensusthrough participation . . . “What do youthink?”

One style does not fit all circumstances and one style will not appeal to all of yourworkers. So, adapt a “Different strokes fordifferent folks” approach to leading yourworkers. It’s like a recipe! If you mix twoparts of Authoritative Leadership, one part of Democratic, Coaching and AffiliativeLeadership and just a bit of Pacesetting andCoercive Leadership you have a superiorchance of winning.

To learn more about leadership styles andhow they will impact the effectiveness ofyour workforce, call or send us an email.

High PerformingCompanies Take TheirWorkers SeriouslyA few things to mull over as we begin this New Year:

• 85% of a company’s assets are related to intangible capitalsuch as knowledge and human talent. (Brookings Institute)

• Employees are the major source for a company to increasecompetence and profits. (Michael Porter)

• Employee turnover costs companies in the U.S. more than$140 billion annually in recruiting, training, replacement,administrative and other costs. (Keep Employees Inc.)

• 57% of companies are worried about employee retention andlong-term workforce requirements; 61% are concerned aboutthe cost and disruption of frequent turnover. (HR Magazine)

“[Higher performing companies] take their people investment muchmore seriously”, says Roselinde Torres, senior partner and managingdirector at Boston Consulting Group. Business experts arepredicting that the employment market is flipping and once again,employees, especially talented ones, will be in the driver’s seat.

Recent research conducted by SHRM found that 79% of thosewho quit their jobs name lack of appreciation as the main reason.The 2012 Aflac WorkForces Report indicates that 49 percent ofworkers are “at least somewhat likely to look for a job this year”. Inaddition, 50 percent of workers say employee benefits are “very orextremely influential on decision to leave”.

As you enter 2013, what steps will you take to ensure that your “bestand brightest” employees will not be leaving for better opportunities?We suggest a few things that have proven successful:

• Appreciate the importance of the individual & share stories oftheir contributions.

• Help employees discover their talents and show how they fit in the team and in the organization.

• Build career commitment and inspire individuals to grow.

• Link their contributions to build your culture.

• Connect leaders to employees and reveal talents.

Best wishes for a most successful new year!

DOES YOUR COOLANT LIFE SEEM TO GET PROGRESSIVELY SHORTER AND SHORTER? DO YOUDUMP YOUR SUMP AND RECHARGE IT WITH FRESH FLUID EXPECTING TO GET ANOTHER 8-12 MONTHS OFCOOLANT LIFE, ONLY TO HAVE IT GO RANCID YET AGAIN 6 MONTHS LATER?

What is the problem and why does the fluid keep going bad? It has got to be the coolants fault… right? Not necessarily.How thorough were you in cleaning your coolant system? Did you remove the coolant sump, chip conveyor, pumps andscreens and really clean them? In addition, did you use a recommended machine cleaner from your fluid manufacturer? If the answer to these questions is no, then you may have a Bio-Film problem. So what is Bio-Film and where does it come from?

Bio-Film is a mucus like matrix (Mucilaginous/Glycocalyx) comprised primarily of sugars, called Extracellular PolymericSubstance. Bio-Films are sessile (stationary) and are comprised of various species of bacteria which have significantlydifferent properties from free-floating (Planktonic) bacteria. This community of microbes communicates biochemically withinthe Bio-Film matrix, which gives it the capability to perform different tasks beyond the capability of any individual bacteriamember. An example of the type of synergism between different bacteria species within a Bio-Film community is sited fromDr. Frederick J. Passman, Metalworking Fluids-Second Addition. “What one species of bacteria, (Pseudomonas aeruginosa)produces as a waste product, (Sulfur and Secondary Metabolites), feeds and enables another species of bacteria(Desulfovibrio desulfuricans) to survive. In turn the D. desulfuricans creates conditions that enable P. aeruginosa to attackmetalworking fluids (MWF) molecules at a maximum rate.”

A recent study sited in TLT Magazine showed the Polysaccharide film produced by bacteria, was measured to have theholding strength of 70 Newton’s; this is equivalent to super glue. This sticky Polysaccharide film protects the bacteria withinthe Bio-Film community, thus making most biocides ineffective against Bio-Films. Bio-Film needs to be addressed when thesump needs to be changed either by physical scrubbing or by using a pressure washer with hot water or steam capability. In addition, machine cleaners proven to dissolve Bio-Film should be used, or the end results will be the same - subparcoolant life and higher fluid costs. The scope of this article doesn’t cover the additional costs and damage that Bio-Filmscause to the machines and also the health hazards and costs associated due to high amounts of bacteria growth.

STORY BY BRENT TERHAAR

...More than Just Pulling the Rabbit Out of the Hat


The great ones make it look easy. Harry Houdini escaping from themilk can, David Copperfield making a mountain disappear, even DavidBlaine in a block of ice in Central Park. Illusionists and magicians have a way of making the impossible look possible. The slight of hand, thediversion of your eyes, the props used to conceal the outcome are all toolsof the trade to make these illusions look real. The intricate planning andpractice to perform these tricks take years to perfect. All of this time andenergy leads up to the final moment when the execution of the illusion is flawless – and creates quite a show for the audience. These illusionistshave mastered the art of understanding what the audience wants andcreating a plan to deliver the show.

As the current year draws to an end, and the new-year begins, taxpayers are sometimes inclined to go in search of a special magic trick totry and reduce their tax burden. While this approach may bear somefruit, it is likely to be as underwhelming as watching your 10-year-oldneighbor pull a rabbit out of a hat at the school talent show. Effective taxmanagement is not about creating illusions – it is a rigorous process thatrequires careful planning with a long-term view combined with deepindustry knowledge and understanding of the tax code.

Business owners work hard and strategize all year to find ways to makethe bottom line black instead of red, yet they’ll work in haste to find anylittle thing they can do to reduce taxes by a dollar.

Instead of the mad rush at year-end or the endless pursuit for thatadditional deduction, what if there was a different way to approach this?

Like great illusionists, formulating the right plan and consistentlyexecuting on that plan can make all the difference. Here are a few thingsto consider as you take on your year-end tax planning process:

AVOID THE CRYSTAL BALL SYNDROME:Trying to predict the future usually turns out to be a futile effort. This is certainly the case if you’re trying to predict tax law. Our federallegislatures have done a masterful job of making that ball as cloudy as can be. They continually change tax policy, delay promises, andultimately pass last minute tax bills that make the law so difficult tounderstand that many businesses never take advantage of the benefitsthey are due.

continued on page 14


Don’t get caught in the trap of predicting the future. Why do it in the first place? What usually happens is that in your haste to predict the future, you make uninformed short-term decisions that can have a lasting taxconsequence. I’m not saying that taking advantage of current tax opportunities isn’t beneficial – they can be.What I’m saying is don’t make rash decisions in the short term just because you think the tax law will be lessbeneficial in the future.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR BUSINESS:Having the right advisor that truly understands what your business does can make all the difference. Weregularly see situations where a company has been misguided by advisors that don’t truly understand orinterpret tax opportunities for a particular business situation or industry. Tax law can be complicated. There arecertain benefits that are specific to an industry or a business situation that can go under the radar. Many times,these benefits are not apparent to a business owner. Having an advisor that knows your business and theindustry you work in can properly match those benefits with your situation.

IT STARTS WITH A PLAN:The most beneficial tax planning doesn’t even start with tax strategy – it starts with a robust business and theowner’s personal financial plan. Understanding what the business owner wants and needs is crucial to properlyplan for their current and future tax situation. Whether it is considering the best entity structure to create,determining how to draft customer or vendor agreements, or deciding what estate structure to implementshould all be predicated on what the long term plan is for the business and the business owner.

You don’t need to be a magician to properly plan for taxes. You don’t have to have a trick up your sleeve. Whatyou do need is a long-term plan to address your business and personal needs. Once this plan is in place, it makesit much easier and more effective to properly implement tax strategies that support that plan.

OPPORTUNITIESA Real Estate Market Overview


early every business has at least a casualinterest in the commercial real estate market. The tool andmachining industry is no exception with the correct facilitymaking a huge difference in both capabilities and productivity.As we’ve seen with the stock market, real estate marketinformation has become increasingly available. However,translating the data and understanding where the trueopportunities lie is still a challenge.

Industrial property vacancies have dropped on a national basisto 9.1 percent from the highest rates in early 2010. CorporateAmerica has accounted for much of this positive trend bycommitting to large chunks of space in excess of 1,000,000square feet in some cases. This could lead you to believe thatmany of the opportunities have been missed; however that isnot the case. The occupiers of real estate below 50,000 squarefeet still have numerous options and opportunities that didn’texist in the past. Since 2010 available properties in the desiredsize and geographic area have not only been available, but havebeen priced significantly below replacement cost.

Nationally the number of sales bottomed out in 2009 withapproximately 40 percent fewer transactions than just two yearsearlier. Since then, more industrial buildings have been soldeach year. Though pricing is well off the high of $92.70 persquare foot on a national basis, pricing has experienced amodest gain of 8 percent since the low in early 2011. Recordlow interest rates have offset the slight increases in the price asthe cost of money has never been cheaper.


THE OCCUPIERS OF REALESTATE BELOW 50,000SQUARE FEET STILL HAVENUMEROUS OPTIONS ANDOPPORTUNITIES THATDIDN’T EXIST IN THE PAST.

U.S. Manufacturing:Is this ResurgenceSustainable?

SIDEBAR BY CAROLYN BAGNALL

The U.S. manufacturing sector has been a clear brightspot in the recovery. With both domestic and globalconsumption rebounding – albeit at a choppy rate –America has steadily increased production of vehicles andparts, semiconductors, civilian aircraft, clothing, fuel oil, andcommodity based food items, to name a few. Likewise,manufacturing employment has clearly reversed thedowntrend. Since hitting a low point in January of 2011, themanufacturing sector has added 335,000 jobs ending inJune of 2012. This is the strongest stretch of job creation inmanufacturing since the mid-1990s, and prior to thatperiod, one must go all the way back to the 1970s to findstronger numbers. Suddenly, the industrial warehousesector looks increasingly robust. Over the last fifteenmonths, 116 million square feet of warehouse space hasbeen leased up, right in line with pre-recession levels. Thekey question is, of course, is this resurgence sustainable?

Manufacturers ramp up production when there is demandfrom retail sales, growing exports of manufactured goods,or increasing business investment in equipment. All threewere up in 2010. The prior peak for exports of U.S.manufactured goods occurred in the second quarter of2008. The total was $245.2 billion for the quarter. Theensuing drop took them down to $176.6 billion in the firstquarter of 2009. Exports fell by 28.0 percent in less than ayear. Then the climb back began. In the third quarter of2011 exports of manufactured goods edged past the priorpeak and for the first quarter of 2012 they reached $252.5billion. Exports had increased 43.0 percent from the lowrecorded three years earlier.

Retail sales, which the data show are over $1 trillion perquarter, have a greater impact. Therefore, U.S. consumerswill be the key to continued recovery. It appears that, with abit of encouragement from gas prices, mortgage refinancingor other factors, consumers are willing to be confident andto spend. This reinforces the virtuous cycle of growth inmanufacturing jobs leading to retail spending whichsupports manufacturing. This is the essence of economicrecovery and sustainable growth.

JOSH WYSSBRUCE CALFEE

ust as there are two sides to a coin, challenges come alongwith opportunities. Landlords and owners looking to lease orsell real estate in today’s market have become much moreaccommodating than just a few years ago. This can be seen inincreased warranties, tenant improvement dollars, free rent andlower pricing. Due in part to the specialized nature of manymanufacturing buildings, owner/occupants can find themselvesstrapped to a building that no longer meets their needs. Anotherchallenge is that the pool of companies who can qualify to takeadvantage of the low interest rates has shrunk considerably. Tocounteract this trend the U.S. Small Business Administration hasincreased the size of its maximum loan to $12,000,000.

When looking solely at the commercial real estate market itbecomes clear that now is a time for action. Companies should dowhatever they can to extend leases, refinance or purchase a facilityto lock in low occupancy costs for as long as possible. Since mostbusiness owners can’t make decisions focused on just one line item,now is a good time to align all your goals and objectives and makesure that your real estate requirements both short and long termare taken into consideration. Whatever decision you make, make itwith conviction.

On March 26, 2012, the United States Federal Register published the finalrule on the Hazard Communication Standard/Globally Harmonized System. Thisfinal rule will become effective 60 days after the date of publication. The changeswill bring the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)Hazard Communication Standard, which was first adopted in 1983, in line withthe international Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling ofChemicals (GHS).

The new rule will provide all employees with easily understandable information onappropriate handling and safe use of hazardous chemicals.

What are the benefits?The basic goal of hazard communication is to ensure that employers, employees,and the public are provided with adequate, practical, reliable, and comprehensibleinformation on the hazards of chemicals, so that they can take effective preventiveand protective measures for their health and safety. Thus, implementation ofeffective hazard communication provides benefits for governments, companies,workers, and members of the public.

What is the GHS Safety Data Sheet (SDS)?The (Material) Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provides comprehensive information foruse in workplace chemical management. Employers and workers use the SDS assources of information about hazards and to obtain advice on safety precautions.The SDS is product related and, usually, is not able to provide information that isspecific for any given workplace where the product may be used. However, theSDS information enables the employer to develop an active program of workerprotection measures, including training, which is specific to the individualworkplace and to consider any measures that may be necessary to protect theenvironment. Information in the SDS also provides a source of information forother target audiences such as those involved with the transport of dangerousgoods, emergency responders, poison centers, those involved with theprofessional use of pesticides, and consumers.
