New London - Darrel Hanrahan and Collin Reiners had been talking about opening a place for years.
Stash's Café, once a Pequot Avenue hot spot, was plenty closed.
It was as if the stars had aligned.
"We'd been looking all over Connecticut when this became available," Hanrahan, a 30-year-old East Hartford firefighter, said Thursday. "It was just what we wanted - to be near the shore."
Hanrahan and Reiners, an optometrist whose office is in Holyoke, Mass., plan to re-open Stash's as The Branding Iron in May, promising "barbecue, bourbon and beer," or, more precisely, a "family-friendly" restaurant serving up steaks, burgers and salads as well as live music, DJs and, on Sundays, screens tuned to DirecTV's NFL coverage.
Pool tables and darts will also be featured.
"We're going to do it all," said Miranda Bergeron, 31, who along with Ryan Van Lew will manage the place.
Reiners said the emphasis will be more on the restaurant aspect of things than the bar. The Branding Iron hopes to cater to the luncheon crowd from the Electric Boat campus across Pequot Avenue and to "everyone else, too," he said.
Hanrahan and Reiners, who met as members of the Connecticut Air National Guard, are leasing the space from the property's long-time owner, Steve "Stash" Schiavone.
The business' new co-owners, Bergeron and some other employees were hard at work Thursday inside the restaurant, where they were well into the second week of a massive renovation. Flooring and ceiling panels had been removed and walls repainted. The kitchen is being redone and new tables, booths and patio furniture are on the way.
Hanrahan said they were talking to local vendors about supplying the restaurant.
Hanrahan works two 24-hour shifts a week as a firefighter in East Hartford but lives in southeastern Connecticut. He worked for 12 years at the Andrea Hotel in Misquamicut, doing "a little of everything, including bartending."
"I've been coming down here for 20, 22 years," he said. "I always loved Ocean Beach. New London was always a great place to hang out."
Reiners, the Connecticut Air National Guard's chief of optometry, said he will keep his practice in Massachusetts. He lives in the Berkshires, as does Bergeron, who said she has 15 years of restaurant experience.
This is Reiners' first foray into the business.
"I talked him into it," Hanrahan said.
Ahead, lies an adventure, the new co-owners agreed. And for the former Stash's, "a clean, fresh start."

TravelPod Member ReviewsLake Quinault Lodge
We love Lake Quinault Lodge, and we cannot wait to come back to it.
The Lodge is one of the most romantics places that I think we've ever stayed.
For starters though, it is important to note that the lodge is located at the edge of the Olympic National Forest, NOT the National Park. It is about thirty or more minutes from the National Park, depending on, where you enter the National Park. For example, it's about thirty minutes from Kalaloch, an hour from Hoh Rain Forest, and 2.5 hours from Sol Duc. The website for Olympic National Park has a nifty mileage chart that I suggest you take advantage of [http://www.nps.gov/olym/planyourvisit/gettingaround.htm]
Anyhow the Lodge is beautiful, it's from the 1930s or so, and a historical building. The main room has a huge fireplace [which unfortunately wasn't lit for us with it being July], couches and tables all around, and a cupboard full of games you can play, and guestbooks dating back as far as the 1930s, which you can browse through. Quiet hours start at 10pm, but you can chill in the lobby as late as you want, as long as you're respectful of how much noise you're making.
Our room was in the lodge. It's a small room with a double bed and private bathroom, but is has character. It doesn't look like a typical hotel room and every single room is different. The rooms in the lodge have no TV, which is sort of nice. There is no AC in the lodge, which is fine since it cools down to the 40s-50s here, at night, so you don't need one, but there is a radiator, if you need to heat up your room. There is WiFi in the rooms, but signal is weak, we found you get the best signal from the lobby.
There is also the beach rooms, which are the most expensive rooms at the lodge, as well as boathouse rooms. I don't know very much about those rooms since we didn't stay in them.
As for amenities. The hotel has a very nice pool that's heated, indoor, and goes up to 8 feet deep. We had a blast swimming in it. There's also a lake to swim in, which was nice and refreshing. There's a game room with a pool table, ping pong table, and foos ball machine. There's a huge lawn outside where you can play lots of different games, as well as chairs you can watch the sunset/sunrise in, or just chill with a nice glass of wine. You can also rent kayaks, canoes, and body boards to explore the lake in.
The hotel also has a lot of sponsored activities, some which cost extra, like the sunset cruise around the Lake Quinault [totally worth it, our guide Charlie was awesome], but also free activities like a guide-led tour around the Quinault Rainforest or S'mores at the beach campfire.
There's also a very good restaurant called the Roosevelt, in honor of Roosevelt staying here, at some point during his presidency, we had breakfast there on our last day, and it was very enjoyable. There's also a bar/coffee shop in the lobby that makes the best hot chocolate ever.
We absolutely love it here, and we cannot wait to plan our next vacation here!

Very romantic setting on the lake. Great hiking and a chance to really unwind.

Historical Traveler Reviews Lake Quinault Lodge
Nice area but rooms not that great.
The grounds were well kept and everyone was friendly. But beware of the LAKESIDE rooms, there are large trees blocking the whole lake view! There's no view to be seen. And the walls are paper-thin. Unless you like to hear the chatter or TV of your neighbors, don't stay in these rooms.
The view and drive in were spectacular though. Next time, I'd find another place to stay.
Great Place!
Stayed at Lake Quinault Lodge earlier this month (October) in one of the Lakeside units. Nice room with ample space for three adults. Great view of the water. Beautiful grounds. The staff was friendly. Dinner was delicious. I'll be back!
Mixed feelings about this place
I have mixed feelings about this place. The lodge itself is beautiful and the location is absolutely gorgeous, so I honestly would stay there again just for those reasons. The restaurant food is also pretty good. However, the gas fireplace in my fireplace room was completely walled off by thick plastic so no heat ever entered the room. Sure, it was nice to hear the roaring (albeit gas) fire, but if you can't feel the heat, what's the point? I ended up having to turn on the central heating system to get warm (!). I don't know what the other rooms look like, but if you want to save money, you might want to consider reserving a less expensive room. I'm not convinced that the fireplace rooms are worth the extra cost.
Very good dinner!
Can't vouch for the rooms at the Lodge (we stayed across the lake at the beautiful Lake Quinault Resort), but had a terrific -- though pricey -- dinner at this historic spot in GORGEOUS Lake Quinault. Vegetarians (or not), you're in for a treat! The portabella mushroom dish with cheese, spinach, and wine sauce is OUT OF THIS UNIVERSE!! My husband also enjoyed his fish (just okay) and chips (fabulous!). Great view, too!
Loved the lake and the rainforest
We stayed at Lake Quinault Lodge during two of the hottest days in July. Luckily we stayed in one of the Lakeside units which are in the shade near the lake. It cooled down at night. The lake is beautiful. We rented kayaks and a mouse boat. The lawn between the lodge and lake has soft grass and excellent views - very relaxing. My kids loved all the freindly rabbits around the place. Across the street from the lodge are many rainforest trails. You can take a guided rainforest trail with the Forest Service which is excellent. The entire family left with a greater appreciation for the area. We also ate wild huckleberries and blueberries.
Very good dinner, no screaming kids
I did not stay at the Lodge, but my husband and I ate in their dining room three times in August 2004 (2 breakfasts, 1 dinner). Unlike the reviewer from Thanksgiving 2003, we experienced no wait for a table and no screaming children; in fact, no children at all. (This was midweek, the third week of August -- I don't know if schools were back in session yet.) Service was friendly and professional and prices were in line with the quality of the experience. Dinner was excellent. My husband's scallops were the best he'd ever had, and he's eaten scallops all over the world for the past twenty years. My lobster ravioli was also quite good. I hear that the windows act as a green house so you might want to avoid the sunset hour. As for the breakfast, it was fine; but I prefer the Quinault Mercantile across the street -- no view, but the food's less fancy, less expensive, and just as tasty.
We recommend it (with some reservations)
We recently stayed at the lodge. It location is STUNNING . It on the shore of a glacier feed lake and in one of the remaining temperate rain forest left in the USA. The surroundings more than make up for the sub-par rooms and noise of the lodge.
The lobby is welcoming with comfortable and inviting furniture. The rooms are small "rustic" and noisy. We had to switch rooms one night due to the location of the room over the pool and under a staircase. The second night we were located over the kitchen and heard the coming and going of employees.
The dining room and food were adequate (but pricey), but its hard to beat watching a sunset on Lake Quinalut with a cold beer, a warm sweater, and the one you love.
If you go, pay extra for a lake front room or do not stay in the lodge.
Sorely disappointed but could only blame ourselves
If you are used to staying in nice hotels, please do not expect the same at the Quinault Lodge. I saw some pretty expensive guest vehicles parked around this old place and I bet a lot of people who were experiencing it for the first time were let down when they opened the door to their room. It is more a motel than a hotel and quite "rustic" however it was clean. We reserved their finest room - a fireplace room - and at a premium price (as much as a mid-range Las Vegas hotel) so expected some luxury. It was not to be found. The food was okay but kind of pricey. However, the lake itself is very nice and the hiking trails were well maintained. Just be aware before you go not to expect too much and you'll probably be fine. Would I go there again? Not likely.
Lake Quinault is the best place on earth
This place is awesome, rustic and charming yet still has comfortable amenities. We got married here and still get compliments that it was the prettiest wedding around. The view is beautiful and the rainforest is unlike anything on this earth. We like the fireside rooms.
Thanksgiving at Lake Quinault
The Olympic peninsula was magnificent and the lodge has a scenic location right on the shores of Lake Quinault. We had a room in the 400 building and it was cozy, with a balcony overlooking the lake. The downside was the poor noise insulation and the presence of every family in Washington with three or more children. The restaurant couldn't accommodate the number of guests and we ended up dining at the mercantile across the street. The owner of the mercantile is charming and stayed open late to make us a pizza. We returned to the mercantile the next morning for breakfast where his wife served us piping hot bacon and eggs. The sweet potato and hazelnut pancakes at the lodge we'd had the day before were better, but not enough to justify the hour and a half wait. Overall, the lodge and its restaurant are very appealing but only if you have a high tolerance for quantities of shrieking children and very long waits.

In the morning we packed up shop, and had one last stop in the park. We headed east to Hurricane Ridge Road to wind our way up to see Mount Olympus. We were surprised to see a large range of ...

The Please Touch Museum has selected its interim leader as its new director.
Lynn McMaster was named chief executive officer Friday by the board of the children's museum under a one-year contract, starting immediately.
The native of Canada came to Please Touch in 2012 and has spent much of her time on the museum's efforts to relieve itself of a heavy debt burden.
Talks continue with holders of that bond debt, with the museum preparing a proposal to restructure the terms of $60 million in bonds that it sold when fund-raising fell short for the 2008 renovation of Memorial Hall.

THE WIDOW of the man who was driving the Porsche that crashed and killed actor Paul Walker sued Porsche on Monday, claiming design flaws caused both men to die in the fiery crash in November.
The wrongful death lawsuit by Kristine Rodas says her husband, Roger Rodas, was driving at 55 mph - not the nearly 95 mph claimed by investigators - before the crash. And even though Roger was driving a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT capable of more than 200 mph, Kristine's lawsuit says the vehicle lacked a proper crash cage and safety features in the gas tank that would have saved both men's lives.

The University of Georgia has secured final approval for a new landfill that came under scrutiny last week after the state Board of Regents learned the dump was being constructed in Athens without final clearance from the state.
Physical plant workers digging a new landfill off South Milledge Avenue across the road from the school's old toxic waste dump were ordered to stop work June 13 after administrators learned the crew did not have the final approval.
Environmental managers were getting permission from the state Board of Regents when physical plant administrators apparently ordered work to start, officials said.
An announcement from the university Friday said Regents cleared the project this week, the final step required for the dump's operation.
The university received the go-ahead after the Regents' Office of Facilities reviewed the work plans and the Georgia Environmental Policy Act checklist on the project. Approval for the landfill had been obtained from the state Department of Natural Resources and Athens-Clarke County in April.
The Georgia Environmental Policy Act mandates that Regents approve any land-disturbing work at state colleges, said Mark Demyanek, the University System's director of environmental safety.
The new landfill is designed to hold non-toxic waste such as old concrete and bricks, byproducts of booming campus construction. The dump will also provide dirt for landscaping around campus.
''Like the recycling of paper and composting of landscape wastes, an inert landfill is a 'green' activity,'' James TenBrook, director of the UGA Physical Plant, said in the statement. ''Recycling and composting avoids choking expensive lined landfills, such as the one operated by Athens-Clarke County, with material that can be returned to the environment without harm. Likewise, an inert landfill returns earth-like materials to the environment.''
The site (about 5.2 acres) is fully screened from view, is removed from any streams or rivers, is within reasonable distance of the campus and has not been identified for any particular future use. A six-foot chain-link fence will be erected around the perimeter of the property.
The landfill will be operated in accordance with a Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan and the university's Environmental Safety Division will conduct monthly inspections.
The school has been trying to tread more carefully in its environmental regulations as it moves ahead with plans to clean up the 1960s-era toxic landfill, also off South Milledge Avenue near the State Botanical Garden of Georgia.
UGA has reached a tentative agreement with the state Environmental Protection Division to cap and treat the dump, rather than spend $18 million to $27 million to remove the waste.

Israel's President Bibi Netanyahu and his defense minister Ehud Barak are more determined to attack Iran than ever.
Regions / Israel
With the Arab uprisings reconfiguring the regional political landscape, the time has come for America to regain the trust and goodwill of the Islamic world. The clock is ticking fast.
Aid to Israel dodges the austerity bullet.
September turned out to be nothing short of a political tsunami for Israel's leaders and, consequently, for the United States as well.
Earlier this month, Rep. Joe Walsh and 30 co-sponsors issued a resolution supporting Israeli annexation of the West Bank.
Both the United States and Israeli believed their wildernesses -- and those that inhabited them -- needed to be tamed.
The Land of Israel caucus is urging the Israeli government to respond to the Palestinian Authority's bid for statehood by formally annexing all Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
The Oslo Accords produced nothing but settlements and suffering.
Turkey is winning friends and influencing the Middle East, but its Dale Carnegie approach doesn't extend to Israel.
"Price taggers" are Israeli settlers who retaliate for IDF removal of Israeli settlers from the West Bank by attacking Palestinians and IDF property.

What's your favorite blue?
One of the many shades of a hydrangea?
Perhaps the midnight blue, light blue, steel blue, or cobalt blue of a beautiful gown?
The allure of classic navy?
I'm partial to a soft robin's egg blue, especially on a redhead (or three).
And I'm inspired to bring these peaceful colors into my home. Today I am so excited to join a group of amazing bloggers for the Color My World Challenge!
Each of us has chosen a color to incorporate into our homes over the next few weeks. Remember a little project I talked about a couple months back called Our Master Bedroom? The room with the desk and office chair shoved in one corner and the hideous-but-loved mammoth TV-on-cheesy-stand in the other? The room I would like to be a peaceful haven?
My color challenge will be to use one of my favorite shades of blue ~
to bring the peacefulness of the ocean to my long-neglected master bedroom and bathroom with fabric, paint and accessories. Each week I'll report back to you on the progress and a month from now I'll show you how my aqua challenge went.
But wait – there's more! We invite you to participate too! Challenge yourself to bring a new color into your home, and then link up a post about your new color on reveal day, May 1! If you don't have a blog you can send me photos and I'll post them that day.
In the meantime check out the participating blogs for color inspiration! I am so honored to be amongst this group of talented women in the Color My World Challenge:

She's tried to stand by her estranged husband Lamar Odom as he's dealt with his addiction issues, but Khloe Kardashian is having a hard time making sense of the troubled basketball player's latest episode.
On Monday (July 11) Odom was kicked off an airplane for being drunk and vomiting in the first class cabin, and the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" starlet is distraught over the drama.
Things aren't looking so hot for Lamar Odom these days, as he was just thrown off a flight from Los Angeles to New York City for acting a fool last night (July 11).
The disgraced NBA player reportedly threw up in the first class area of the aircraft before running to the on-board lavatory to continue emptying the contents of his stomach.
Khloe Kardashian and her estranged husband Lamar Odom's divorce is back on.
Their relationship has been tumultuous to say the least, and Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom just can't seem to find a way to make it work.
Her estranged husband Lamar Odom is still in the hospital and Khloe Kardashian intends on having a proper Thanksgiving feast even if it means she has to bring the turkey to his bedside.
Earlier this week, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star explained, "After our family Thanksgiving dinner is over, I invite friends to join, especially friends who don't have family around. So we have a family Thanksgiving, a friends Thanksgiving, and this year I will also be having a hospital Thanksgiving."
He's never been one to hold his tongue, and Chris Rock marveled at the fact that Lamar Odom somehow turned a drug-fueled sex romp at a whorehouse into a marriage-saving moment.
Sometimes it takes a tragedy to bring a family closer, and it seems that Lamar Odom's multi-day spree of having sex with many different women while doing copious amounts of drugs may end up saving his marriage to Khloe Kardashian.
So far he's made a remarkable recovery since coming out of his drug-and-partying-induced coma on Friday, but Lamar Odom still has a long and difficult road ahead.

Producer Price Index in April 2012
May 14, 2012
The Producer Price Index for finished goods rose 1.9 percent (not seasonally adjusted) for the 12 months ended April 2012, the seventh straight month of slowing year-over-year increases following a 7.0-percent rise for the 12 months ended September 2011.
From March to April 2012, prices for finished goods fell 0.2 percent (seasonally adjusted). Prices for finished goods were unchanged in March and increased 0.4 percent in February.
The April decrease in the finished goods index is attributable to a 1.4-percent decline in prices for finished energy goods. By contrast, the indexes for finished goods less foods and energy and for finished consumer foods both rose 0.2 percent.
These data are from the BLS Producer Price Index program. To learn more, see "Producer Price Indexes — April 2012" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL-12-0895. All producer price indexes are routinely subject to revision once, 4 months after original publication, to reflect the availability of late reports and corrections by respondents.

From the end of 2004 through the end of 2014, the deployment of solar energy in the U.S. grew at an unprecedented rate, according to a new video report, Solar Energy in the United States: A Decade of Record Growth, released yesterday by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA).
You are here
California has cemented its place as America's solar leader, according to recently-released statistics, and now stands poised to become the first state in the nation to have 10 gigawatts (GW) of installed solar capacity – enough to power nearly 2.5 million homes.
As many states have successfully met their renewable portfolio standards (RPS), they are considering expanding these standards or otherwise incentivizing clean energy development. Despite several attempts to challenge these RPS laws, none of the 29 states with an RPS has repealed it and only one has frozen the standard before it was met.
50,000 U.S. military veterans working in the solar industry by 2020. That is the commitment we made to President Obama and announced today by First Lady Michelle Obama as part of the nationwide initiative, Joining Forces, which works with the public and private sector to support veterans through wellness, education and employment opportunities.
In 1970, the first ever Earth Day was held to demonstrate broad global support for environmental protection. At the time, the world's population stood at 3.63 billion. Today, that number has more than doubled.
Cutting costs has been the key to solar's rapid expansion this decade. The lion's share of cost reductions in the solar industry has come from reductions in module prices. The $4 per watt you'd have paid in 2006 for modules alone gets you the entire residential solar system installed today.
With more than 8,000 companies now operating nationwide, solar energy has become one of the fastest-growing industries in America — thanks, in large part, to remarkable growth on both the West and East coasts. California, as expected, continues to lead the way with nearly 10 gigawatts (GW) of installed solar capacity, but on the other side of the country, five Eastern states — New Jersey, North Carolina, Massachusetts, New York and Connecticut — are now closing in on a total of 4 GW of installed capacity.
For states looking to meet new obligations under the EPA's Clean Power Plan, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) have jointly published a handbook detailing how to incorporate renewable energy into state plans to cut carbon emissions from existing power plants.
In the critically-acclaimed movie, All the President's Men, a shadowy, raspy-voiced character named Deep Throat advises Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein to "follow the money" in the wake of the Watergate break-in and cover-up. That was more than 40 years ago. Yet, in the bare knuckles, take-no-prisoners world of Washington politics, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Someone once said, "the life you live is the lesson you teach." Well, there isn't a better example of that than the historic "we're all in" commitment made in 2002 by California to secure a clean energy future.

Skip to comments.Drifting away: Many fear such 'offshoring' will hurt the economy and nationa l security.
Posted on 08/03/2003 1:11:56 AM PDT by sarcasm
Sunday, August 03, 2003 - Denver-based Quark Inc., one of the nation's best-known software companies, has just built a brand-new facility that will employ 1,000 software and technology workers.
The growth might appear encouraging to the state's ailing tech economy, but there's a key caveat: the center, and the jobs, are in Chandigarh, India.
Quark is among a long line of tech companies now moving jobs or creating new ones in India, China, Vietnam and Singapore in search of cheaper and faster software development, manufacturing or tech support.
The trend appears to be an unstoppable force that infuriates many of Colorado's jobless and worries some economists who say it ultimately may hinder the state's economic recovery.
"This is part of why the economy is still sluggish," said Mac Clouse, director of the Reiman School of Finance at the University of Denver.
"It's not the traditional economic model anymore," he said. "Businesses may be spending, but they're not spending their dollars here - it's not going to result in new jobs and increased economic activity."
Momentum by U.S.-based companies to create new jobs in foreign countries is building throughout the tech industry. Late last month, news leaked that IBM Corp. would move 1,000 jobs overseas.
A couple of weeks earlier, Microsoft Corp. said it would hire 5,000 more people, up to 2,000 of them outside the United States. At about the same time, Oracle Corp. said it will almost double workers in its Indian unit to 6,000.
Tech-heavy Colorado is being hit especially hard.
Two-thirds of the layoffs in Colorado over the past few years came from telecommunications and technology firms. In June, 142,000 people were looking for work in the state, according to the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.
Dozens of Colorado companies have already moved or created technology manufacturing jobs outside the country. More recently, they're taking technical support, software jobs and even network operations overseas.
One Denver firm called Technology Crafters is helping 18 Colorado businesses do software development in India.
"There's a lot of interest," said Robert Welch, the company's president. "American software teams are awesome for innovation, but in terms of being able to crank things out in a productive manner, they're not the best on the planet."
Three years ago, Louisville-based Storage Technology Corp. moved its manufacturing operations to Puerto Rico. Agilent Technologies shipped hundreds of its Colorado Springs jobs to India and China. Also in the Springs, broadband device maker Actiontec sent several hundred jobs to India, and computer storage firm Quantum sent 865 jobs to Malaysia.
Now PeopleSoft, the company that last month acquired Denver software maker J.D. Edwards, plans to double its Indian operation to as many as 700 jobs. And Denver tech consulting firm Ciber Inc. revealed a few weeks ago it will create new software and information technology-related jobs in India.
"All this is a huge challenge that the new mayor and Gov. Owens have to bring back a job base to Colorado and to Denver," Clouse said.
On Tuesday, Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper and Gov. Bill Owens will fly to California to meet with tech firms that have Colorado operations. The duo will encourage those businesses to expand in the state and in Denver.
"There are still jobs to be created domestically," said Hickenlooper's press secretary Lindy Eichenbaum Lent. "We just need to make our case."
But it won't be easy.
The pressure on corporate executives to look overseas is huge, primarily fueled by the weak economy.
Within the next 18 months, one in 10 U.S. technology jobs will be moved offshore, according to Gartner Inc., a research firm that follows technology trends.

|Indian workers, above, staff a U.S. companys call center in Bangalore, India. Technical jobs are increasingly being offshored to companies such as Wipro Technologies in Bangalore, top.
Business executives say they can't compete, let alone keep their companies alive, if they hire U.S. IT workers for $40,000 to $80,000 a year while their competitors hire the same talent in India for $8,500 to $9,800.
Mac Slingerlend, chief executive of Ciber, argues that by using Indian workers, his firm ultimately saves U.S. jobs. The company employs 6,000 worldwide.
For instance, Ciber lost work from a major client, American Express, when the financial firm sent half of its software development work to India.
Because Ciber didn't do work in India at the time, the company lost the business and was forced to cut 100 jobs in its Phoenix office, Slingerlend said.
"I've cost American jobs by not doing work on India," he said.
Slingerlend acknowledges that if the U.S. economy remains lackluster, India will chip away at American jobs and economic growth here. But he said the United States is simply too expensive.
"If things can be done well and more inexpensively, the work will find its way to these places," he said. "The question is, do we want to participate or put our heads in the sand? I'm not trying to sound cruel or crude, but we as a country need to adapt."
That doesn't provide much consolation to the thousands of Coloradans looking for work, some of whom say they were replaced by foreign workers.
"Corporate America is loyal to their stockholders, not loyal to America," said Richard Armstrong, an unemployed Denver computer programmer who was laid off three times and each time replaced by foreign workers.
"We really can't compete because they're earning $6,000 a year overseas," he said.
Armstrong started a website, HireAmericanCitizens.org, to organize rallies and urge people to write Congress to stop offshore job development. He also is pushing for reform of the temporary worker visa program that he says is abused by companies and ultimately used to send more jobs overseas.
"They bring in these people to work and train on their software," Armstrong said. "Once they've trained them, they can do everything offshore."
|Protesters picket last month outside Microsoft Corp. offices in Irving, Texas. Workers are upset because the software giant announced it would close the facility and move 800 jobs to India. The trend among tech companies to offshore jobs worries both workers and economists.
Yet jobs have been leaving the United States for years in a number of other industries. The automotive industry began hiring offshore in the 1960s as did clothing, shoe and widget manufacturers a decade later. In 1970, manufacturing jobs made up 15 percent of the Colorado workforce. By 2000, they made up just 9.3 percent.
And more recently, customer call centers started moving overseas.
"It's the worry du jour. But it's been going on for hundreds of years," said Tucker Hart Adams, a regional economist for U.S. Bank.
"These people have to retrain," she said. "It's particularly hard for the older worker, but these jobs won't be here to put people back to work when we move out of this recession."
Critics of "offshoring" argue that technology isn't the same as making tennis shoes or cars. They worry that eventually, all the high-tech brain power will be in the hands of another country - which potentially could be dangerous to U.S. national security and to future high-tech innovation.
"Right now we're the technology leader of the world," said Jim Hertzel, chairman of Alumni Consulting Group International, a Greenwood Village technology consulting firm. "If we take the technology and let someone else do it for us, what's left for us?"
Armstrong, the laid-off programmer, fears that future college graduates, who will soon include his own son, won't find jobs or that others will be discouraged from even learning software skills.
He says that ultimately will lead to a technology brain drain for future American generations.
"It's dumbing down of American software," Armstrong said. "We're going to be so dependent upon that labor and they'll have an opportunity to have their way with us. It puts our assets and capital at risk."
And while manufacturing jobs in the 1970s were replaced with new and higher-paying jobs in technology, the future for today's jobless tech workers is not clear, said Clouse, the DU economist.
"No one knows what will replace these jobs," Clouse said.
Meanwhile, the noise made by people such as Armstrong over offshoring has piqued the interest of Congress.
Two congressional representatives from Washington state, Democrats Jay Inslee and Adam Smith, asked the U.S. General Accounting Office to study why companies are going offshore, which policies could encourage them to stay here and what domestic jobs will look like in the future. Washington has had one of the top state unemployment rates in the past couple of years, reaching 7.7 percent in June.
"We want to steer people toward jobs that will be there," said Smith's press secretary, Katharine Lister. "We're concerned we may be giving tax breaks to companies and then encouraging them to send jobs overseas."
Armstrong and Hertzel want to see Congress impose tariffs penalizing companies that do offshore work and create rewards for those that do not.
But John Hansen, Colorado's secretary of technology, said the solution is not regulation. That, he said, will strangle businesses' global competitiveness.
Hansen said U.S. companies and citizens must innovate and come up with technologies that create new companies and ultimately new jobs. Most of that innovation, he said, will come from university laboratories.
"We need to create an environment for innovation, access to capital and favorable tax climate," Hansen said. "(Regulation) will not work in the long run."
Technology workers must make themselves more valuable to employers as well, said John Raeder, CEO of IQNavigator, a Denver software firm that develops its code in India.
Raeder said tech workers should develop expertise in finance, marketing or perhaps business strategy as well as software.
"Don't pigeonhole yourself into just learning computer science," he said. "A lot of creativity for software cannot be done offshore."
Young college graduates already are starting to adapt, said Terry Wanger, director of DU's Suitts Center for Career Placement. She said 73 percent of DU's new graduates are getting jobs because they bring with them additional expertise and they expect jobs with lower salaries and less responsibility.
She said it's critical that older workers see the shift in the industry as well.
Welch, who sees the global economy firsthand as president of Technology Crafters, agrees.
"Colorado will evolve. We have to," said Welch. "We're in direct competition with people from all over the world."
He seems to think he can dramatically unveil evidence of WMD in Iraq just before the election and everything will be okay.
Having worked in the IT business for seemingly forever, allow me a generalization here. There are basically two kinds of people in the programming profession. Those who can and those who cannot. Those who can are typically strong mathematically, highly conscious of minute details (analytical), and are less prone to be concerned about big picture areas like business strategy etc. Many people who cannot program well are gifted with better interpersonal skillsets and through increased dialogue create opportunities to devise new solutions (out of the box).
These differences are why I think it is easy to say but not easily done when you tell a person who is a world class programmer that they need to develop more business skills.
This is the lastest figures on the GDP for next year. If we hit over 6% (low end) the country will be at full employment. It always happens in a booming ecomony (Bill Clinton's 20 million jobs). I know it is hard to tell someone who is unemployed to have a little patience, but soon, real soon, it will be an employee market again.
Next, do you realize that half the people on this planet never touched a computer screen? Do you realize that there is an explosive technology boom (telecommunications & Information Technology) happening worldwide? Do you realize that it would be stupid for American companies not to have a presence overseas to take advantage? Soon, the world will not be able to meet the demand for I/T professionals and require American solutions.
That's because they don't have electricity. Do you really think that people in the outback of Australia or the jungles of Asia or in Rwanda are ever going to need IT?
And this is the "Good" news????
I certainly do not envy the youth of today. While they have always enjoyed all the "goodies" in life, now they face a rather grim period of economic readjustment! It was much easier to start with "squat" and improve one's standard of living than to ride the economic slope downward for a long period of time!
I see this study was created back when IT was booming from the Y2K hysteria and the .com boom. The fact is network diagnosis, page layouts, etc can ALL be done and are being done offshore. The study, if redone today, would be more accurate to say Fastest Growing Jobs in Far East.... Personally I think Handicap Ramp Construction and Meals on Wheels delivery jobs are going to be the fastest growing US jobs... (only being partly sarcastic on this last sentence)
You caught me. It's gloomy outside due to the weather and I guess I need some sun.
Okay, in terms of growth, that's wonderful. In terms of numbers, we'll see.
I am ambivalent about this supposed economic growth. According to reports we have been in growth since Nov. 2001. It certainly hasn't trickled down as far as I can tell.
There's a lot of truth to what you say. I know an engineer that actually talks like a computer, I'm not kidding either.
Nobody is going to get this guy to "think outside the box". He's not programmed for it.
As Spock would say, "Fascinating". I worked with a guy who would always put his ear to the hard drive while his programs were running. I wondered what he was doing and he told me that was the best way to determine if his physical writes were successful. He could tell by listening to the drive heads. That guy would have been a sight to see in a board room meeting...
I agree in part; Indian and China are not doing it to us, we are doing it to ourselves, they are just happy to pick up the work.
Haa, haa, such a talanted indiviual that has nothing better to do then blame someone else for his problems. My recommendation is for you to get off you ass and start a business if you have so many skills. I am sure that you can give me a thousand reasons why you can't, all this without realizing the actual reasons are your problem, since they are based on I can't.
You lost your job due to the recession, when the ecomony improves so will your job prospects. Next, if there are no jobs in CT, move (CT closed the unemployment center becuase the state overspent during the boom times). There are places in the country that can use a man of your talents if you would make the effort. For example: Florida created 92,800 jobs from April 2002 to April 2003, a growth rate of 1.3 percent and the state's 13th straight month of positive job growth.
There are a number of other issues he and his economic team do need to address including lower business regulatrion here in teh USA, domestic content in defense department orders. technology transfers and intellectual property infringements but the first thing is to deal with structural problems in the US economy. The rosy predictions you are coming up with are not addressing the problems. We have had rosy predictions since GWB inherited the Clinton recession.
Your predictions about increased corporate IT investment mightseem a whole lot better if a major portion of that investmnent were to be in teh USA but that is not longer in the business models. further, what there is for IT investment in the USA will be eaten up by the Guest workers here under non-immigrant status visas.
I do not subscribe to the theory that the only thing necesary to have a booming economy is to convince peopel that everything is wonderful or soon will be. Policies have results intended or not. Clinton's economic policies brought us the current economic problems Bush if he is willing to institute policy changes can get us out.
With aan anuualized GDP growth of 6.5% I will agree that will be a boom economy but we have yet to see it. What we have is a recovery with rising unemployment. That should set off a whole lot of warning bells. I do not ask anyone to ignore history I ask people to actually look at it in detail.
This is uncalled for personal abuse. I would suggest you learn some economics and pay attention to what is happening in this nation so you can make comments at issue and not just engage in personal attacks. I note your screen name and tagline seem to indicate you might be a Republican. Your attacks on conservatives do nothing to advance the Republican cause.
You lost your job due to the recession, when the ecomony improves so will your job prospects.
He lost his job de to the recession which started because of Clinton's economic policies. Any continuation of those policies must be at least suspect.
Next, if there are no jobs in CT, move (CT closed the unemployment center becuase the state overspent during the boom times). There are places in the country that can use a man of your talents if you would make the effort. For example: Florida created 92,800 jobs from April 2002 to April 2003, a growth rate of 1.3 percent and the state's 13th straight month of positive job growth.
I am really very happy to hear about Florida's job growth and I also realize there are structural problems in many states economies due to over taxation and over spending. However, GWB needs to address the structural problems. Should that 6.5% growth in teh GDP not start being realized soon then the economy will doom GWB and I for one do not want that to happen.
Or, equivalently, he could "eat cake".
"Starting a business" and making green money are two altogether different things.
That is why the tariffs must be restored. Companies which hire Americans should not be penalized or driven out of business.
Personally I think it is held to be true in DC that Nerds don't vote!
"It's not the traditional economic model anymore," he said. "Businesses may be spending, but they're not spending their dollars here - it's not going to result in new jobs and increased economic activity."Guys, This is the problem with the "new" investor's global economy. The destruction of the U.S. of A. and freedom. The second Bush seems to be using his father's policies in this. "Ignore it, and it'll go away." Or, "Just keep them busy and occupied on other things." I don't think{?} it'll work this time around either. I hope he changes his ways before the administration changes hands again. Peace and love, George.
I don't know about that. A lot of these jobs are being outsourced in Gore states, CA, NJ, NY, IL, WA, etc. so a lot of these people probably voted for Gore anyway, for such touchy feely issues as enivro wackoism.
Also the estimates I see is that 500,000 will be outsourced so that means %0.5 of the total 2000 electorate effected and we don't how many have moved on and started their own business or went into other postions.
So IMO, balanket statements aren't applicable on debates such as these, since there are so many variables.
Also in addition I would like to add this anecdotal evidence which you mat find not applicable, but I do.
Recently a chain of supermarkets in my area have added self-checkout lines. I like them. They way the work is that there are 4 computerized checkout stations and an island for a casheir attendant to punch into the computer such things as produce and alcohol. I zip right and in out. The supermarket has effectively "outsourced" three casheirs to the machines. Do you think this is wrong and should be abolished?
Retrain to do what?
Isn't that what Herbert said in 1932: "don't be worry, be happy" just before FDR and modern socialism got swept into office?
The Republicans ignore current trends at their own peril, the unemployed have always voted for the other party and always will.
You are ignoring NC, MS, ID and just about every other state. Yes I can even cite many examples from FL and TX.
Also the estimates I see is that 500,000 will be outsourced so that means %0.5 of the total 2000 electorate effected and we don't how many have moved on and started their own business or went into other postions.
That 500,000 figure can only be from now through the end of the year.
So IMO, balanket statements aren't applicable on debates such as these, since there are so many variables.
I am not making simple blanket stetements about anything except the possible threat to GWB. A large percentage of those who have been and are being affected negatively by trade policies have friends and family who see what is going on and will also consier that in their future votes.

Actually the supermarkets have not effectively outsourced three of their cashiers to the machines by adding these machines they have increased the productivity of their cashiers. They invested in capital improvement to increase productivity. This is clearly what the argument is about. The US government must get rid of the incentives for investing offshore to increase productivity and restore the incentives to invest in increasing productivity in American business.
What do you do, incidently?
Richard W.
"No one knows what will replace these jobs," (DU Economist) Clouse said.
Finally, an honest economist.
I've got four scenarios:
1. Gloom & Doom - Massive foreign outsourcing (and h1b/illegals/etc.) leads to massive U.S. unemployment, less tax revenues, massive debt & foreclosure, banks failing, ending in a huge worldwide economic depression. Prison will look like a free ride.
2. Downward ratchet into Socialism - Dem's pick up on problem and propose more welfare & assistance, job re-training, bigger gov't, etc. Move towards the England/France/German model.
3. Outsourcing fails - pool of overseas software development talent not quite as good as anticipated. Many big bets by big corporations on big projects fail. Economic advantage turns to strategic threat (strategery, I love that word). Many big corps bite the dust.
4. A New Economy Emerges - American entrepreneurial spirit emerges as thousands, millions of new small businesses emerge, making America a great place to live. These form the basic business dynamic for the rest of the century (hey, a guy can dream) (note to self - entrepreneur is a French word - oh, my, goodness).
Here's my new term for scenario 1 (you heard it here first!) - Middle-Class Holocaust.
A half truth.
Packaged software has X value to customers, regardless of the underlying costs to produce it. E.g., when Mitch Kapor hired a high school student to code VisiPlot/Trend, the market didn't ding him and demand a lower price because of Kapor's lower costs. Nor did it pay it premium when Kapor used the experienced, middle-aged programmer Jon Sachs to write Lotus 1-2-3.
So it's completely fallacious to say that underlying software costs have anything to do with "competition" in the marketplace.
But when it comes to software services, it's completely accurate to say that Tata Development can consistently underbid IBM (or any other American company) when its programmers cost $22 per hour.
What has no place in this argument is the proliferation of H1-B and L1 visas, which actually import those lower-priced coders and techies onto American business premises. If one can get Indian H1-B / L1 labor at a 40 percent discount from American market rates, sell it off at a 20 percent discount, and reap the 20 percent margin, then the H1-B / L1 visa has actual monetary value, i.e., it is a saleable asset owned by the firm.
And in fact I know an Indian entrepreneur who used exactly this scheme to import several dozen Indian techs, from whom he reaped about $20K per year profit each (approximately $750K to $1M per year gross profit).
With his U.S. service contracts and multi-year H1-B visas, he was able to sell the company for several million dollars.
Clearly H1-B and L1 visas should not be free.
I have mixed feelings about this. A world where every country has high tariffs has local economies with little specialization. Everything "imported" becomes unaffordable. Further, you get these tremendous inefficiencies. Economists are well aware of this. An understanding of this is behind the various international trade accords.
However, in a world where social costs are considered, some balance needs to be struck. Predatory pricing behavior causes great dislocations when nationally important industries are attacked. Further, most modern countries also incur tremendous social costs--unemployment compensation, untrainable older workers who are no longer productive, loss of strategic capabilities--which don't show up in analysises based only on price.
The solution would appear to be a national board which was capable of rationally striking a balance. However, such a board would be so obviously subject to the political winds that it might be next to useless.
