Open thread: Obama press conference

Remember when the White House press corps would complain when George W. Bush would go a few weeks between press conferences? Today Barack Obama will hold his first presser in three months. The last time Obama held a press conference, the administration was still bragging about economic recovery in a quarter that turned out to have a 1.9% annualized GDP growth rate, and claimed that the intervention in Libya would last "days, not weeks." Dominique Strauss-Kahn was busy rescuing Europe rather than terrorizing hotel maids and sitting in house arrest in Manhattan. On the other hand, Osama bin Laden was still alive, so it's at least a little bit of a wash.
Politico gives a preview of what might be on the minds of reporters at today's 11:15 ET press conference:
One central question looms as Obama faces the media in the East Room on Wednesday, and one for which he isn't likely to offer a concrete answer: Will Obama accept any debt ceiling deal with Republicans that doesn't include some kind of tax increase on the wealthy?
Besides the fast-approaching showdown on the debt ceiling, the Obama-starved White House press corps also is likely to press the president — a constitutional lawyer – for a more detailed explanation of why the War Powers Act shouldn't apply to his limited and divisive Libya intervention. Many Republicans and Democrats have insisted that it should.
Another intriguing line of inquiry: How does Obama, a champion of a cleaner and more transparent political process, feel about criticism from good-government advocates that he engaged in a legal, but arguably unseemly, outreach to woo big Democratic donors at a briefing session in the White House residence sponsored by the Democratic National Committee?
The hailstorm of questions on these and other topics will take place against a changing backdrop: The last time Obama met the press, there wasn't a single declared GOP candidate for president. Now there's a swarm, and every one of them is blaming him for everything that ails the U.S. economy — and the rest of America's problems as well.
Obama probably decided to hold the presser to spin the budget and debt-ceiling negotiations and press the Republicans to return to the table in Joe Biden's efforts to reach a compromise. Expect most of his opening statement to focus on those issues, on which poll after poll shows Obama at his weakest standing ever with voters. But I'm hoping an enterprising reporter or two will ask about Project Gunwalker/Operation Fast and Furious to get the President on the record with a denial. Who will it be? ABC's Jake Tapper might ask that question, or perhaps Ed Henry in his new Fox gig. Let's hope that the opportunity doesn't pass.

Then I thought, if the majority of Americans did not see/hear this press conference, did he really say anything?.

Just got a blurb e-mail from CNN:
"Obama said that if lawmakers cannot reach a deal on raising the debt ceiling by the end of the week they should consider canceling congressional vacations."
Please please please – will some R's pull their ballsies out of their innards and end this madness??

Why doesn't the GOP give Obama the jet deduction? Then, when the manufacturers go in the tank because no one buys them, the GOP can point and say, "Look."
Beyond that, countries that have succeeded in debt reduction, have had a mix of 85%/15% spending cuts/tax increases does the trick. Give it to him.
BUT. Insist that it be clear tax increases by rates and have the increased taxes go to the Bureau of Public Debt.
BuckeyeSam on June 29, 2011 at 11:54 AM
Because little Bammie doesn't care. In the past when Congress has screwed up, like in taxing the yacht industry, they see the results and make a correction. Little Bammie the idiot Marxist doesn't make corrections because he is getting the results he wants. Look at what he has done to oil drilling in the Gulf, and to the coal industry.
He always doubles down on the stupid, because it's his nature.
slickwillie2001 on June 29, 2011 at 1:06 PM
If the situation is as dire as Obama says – we can't even pay for important stuff like Johnny's college education without borrowing money – then doesn't that make it even more vital that we cut spending?
See what I did there? It's called ju-jitsu. You take an opponents attack and use it to whack him.

Then add the savings of not taking a 400 person entourage of friends and family, along with a military plane to every foreign country you visit.
Flying to Alaska for the iditarod will be a substantial savings. Chances are that the Palins would even pick up the tab on that trip.

Sorry, but I'm reposting this from another thread.
I was talking to a co worker recently (a white female who is a major 0bama cultist). She still adores him, and was going on and on about how "presidential" he sounds when he gives a speech.
I asked her if she ever actually listened to what he said, or was she just responding to his voice like a dog responds to a dog whistle.
She actually thought that comment was kind of funny, but you should have seen the expression of shock on her face when I said that Sarah Palin was smarter than 0bama.
I'd bet she enjoyed every minute of this press conference.

Obama continued, "I spent the last two years cutting taxes for ordinary Americans …
Was reading this on MSDNC and had to stop there. REALLY? A report just was released this week titled "The High Price of Massachusetts Health Care Reform: Uncle Sam's Bounty," and the Boston Herald added a sub-headline called "Obamacare will make us sick".
In this report I found that RomneyCare is having the following outcome over the past 4 years:
"A typical family plan has jumped by $2,504 per year."
How exactly has the 0ne cut our taxes over the past 2 years? I know about the payroll tax 1%, but this guy is even more delusional that I ever imagined. As my health care costs go up by $2,504 per year, and energy costs sky rocket under 0bama I'm here to say F-You chairman zero!
Obama continued, "I spent the last two years cutting taxes for ordinary Americans … it would be nice if we could keep every tax break there is, but we have to make some tough choices to cut our deficit."
….Is Stephanopoulos going to call Obama out on this lie:
Billions of dollars in new taxes just from Obamacare
Comprehensive List of Tax Hikes in Obamacare
From Ryan Ellis on Friday, January 14, 2011 6:00 A

"If you are a wealthy CEO … your taxes are lower than they've ever been," said Obama.
Another lie coming from Mr. Hope and Change:
"The tax burden on the wealthy is at its lowest level in half a century."
This suggests that the rich are paying less in taxes than they have at any time in the past 50 years. But this isn't quite accurate.
The wealthy pay a greater share of federal income taxes than at least since 1980, according to the Internal Revenue Service. That year, the top 1% paid less than 18% of all federal income taxes. By 2008, they paid 38% — even though the top tax rate was half what it was 28 years before.
And while the effective tax rate on the rich has gone down in recent years, it was lower in 1986 than it is today, according to an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office.
It's also worth noting that the total amount of taxes paid by the top 1% — and even the top 0.1% — climbed during the Bush years. In 2008, the richest 0.1% paid $48 billion more in taxes than they did in 2001, IRS data show.
…plus I hope all the tough journalisto's and pundits remind the American public that the same President who is up there blaming the GOP for our economic problems is the same President whose own budget was rejected 97-0 in the Senate and whose democratic party has not produced a budget in over 800 days.
In a blunt challenge to Republicans in Congress, President Barack Obama insisted Wednesday that eliminating selected tax breaks for oil companies and the super-wealthy must be part of any deficit reduction plan.
According to Obama's own CBO….going after the "rich" does not help the economy…
(via Ace of Spades)
CBO's Elmendorf: "Higher marginal tax rates do reduce economic activity ."
CBO Elmendorf: Raising tax rates on rich hurts more than raising tax on everyone else. (Dem wasn't expecting that answer)
…Does Obama have any plans that actually help our economy instead of hurt it??????
Obama stated in 2010 that he was keeping the Bush Tax cuts because the economy is not strong enough to withstand tax increases……
……………….the economy has gotten worse since then so why is it so great to raise taxes now??????
Worst President ever.…

Well I can't imagine why the markets would not be jumping for joy over Obama insisting that we raise the cost of producing and exploring for energy resources:
The Obama plan: massive tax hikes
posted at 9:03 am on February 27, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
The business tax hikes are even worse. Obama will increase taxes on existing American oil production starting in 2011. Do we have massive amounts of alternative energy capacity ready to replace the energy production and usage that this will discourage? A growing economy has to have a reliable energy supply. Energy producers get hit on several fronts in this plan, and those costs will either result in lower energy production or increased cost to the consumers.
$5.3 billion – excise tax on Gulf of Mexico oil and gas
$3.4 billion – repeal expensing of tangible drilling costs
$62 million – repeal deduction for tertiary injectants
$49 million – repeal passive loss exception for working interests in oil and natural gas properties
$13 billion – repeal manufacturing tax deduction for oil and natural gas companies
$1 billion – increase to 7 years geological and geophysical amortization period for independent producers
Nothing defines intelligence like jacking up the cost of producing energy on top of our already high cost…during an economic depression.
Baxter Greene on June 29, 2011 at 1:55 PM
Not Long after Barak Obama's election Newsweek magazine emblazoned its cover with the open declaration "We're All Socialists Now." What they meant of course was that the election had put us firmly and irrevocably on the path to European Socialism in America and that the capitalist system as we had known it was dead and buried.
It seems however that intervening events have raised some question about that irrevocable course. The administration's right from the start crawling in bed with the very forces that brought us to the brink of disaster in 2008, its unwillingness and/or inability to delineate never mind address the problems that created the disaster, this policy of embracing the status quo and extend and pretend had almost immediate repercussions on the political front. If the President doesn't like this reversal of fortune or the Tea Party, maybe he should look in the mirror. Both action and inaction have consequences; it's a beast of his own making.
Any questions about European Socialism aside I have to agree with Newsweek on one thing, capitalism as we once knew it is dead. It has been replaced with a system of crony capitalism, the government and corporate partnership, a neo-fascism or more succinctly; a kleptocracy. This is the Rosemary's Baby born of decades of deregulation and the revolving door between the Treasury Department and the banks, particularly the Federal Reserve Bank and the Wall Street investment banks like Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, HSBC and others. We now live in a system where the insiders prosper greatly and divide their pocket change between the politicians they buy through campaign contributions and the growing legions of government employees who reap salaries and benefits far beyond anything the working and taxpaying public could ever hope to earn in the private sector.
The inevitable result of what the United States has become in the macrocosm, we can see being played out in microcosm in Greece. (And soon Spain and the rest of the PIIGS.) These 1/10 of 1%ers have leached off the wealth of the nation through insider corruption, embezzlement and outright fraud. They have done so with virtual impunity as it's their fellow kleptocrats who hold the civil and financial reins of authority.
They have taken their profits from the creation of massive piles of debt based money knowing full well that the as long as they maintained control the loans would never have be paid off. With each passing year the lender of last resort, the Federal Reserve, and the spender of last resort, the Federal government must create more debt and interest payments in excess of what was created in the previous year or deflation sets in. So make no mistake, whether it's called QE3 or some euphemism for it, more money will be printed at an ever accelerating pace. On one end the profit statements of the FEDs primary dealers will continue to grow, the annual bonuses will be paid, and on the other end real unemployment will rise, wages will stagnate, real estate values, and home sales will continue to fall. The middle class, the self-reliant and privately employed worker, the small businesses of this world are being wiped out, and by design, to be replaced with the welfare recipient, the unionized government employee and a new Walmart on every block.
If you want to know what will happen in Congress as the day of reckoning draws closer on a debt ceiling vote, cast your eyes to Greece. Just as our banksters and politicians are desperate to maintain the illusion of American capitalism and reserve currency status, the Europeans are desperate to maintain the façade of the Euro and European unity around it. The Parliament in Athens has passed a new "austerity plan" in exchange for a new infusion of Euros. Nobody really things that this plan will actually be put in place or that any of the fiscal target will be met. The government will delay and put every obstacle in place to prevent privatization. Meanwhile the same government and financial elites will skim off a fat share of the proffered cash, nothing will change and there will be talk of bailout round 3 (or is it 4, I've lost count) before winter sets in.
It should be no surprise then that the populations are showing up in the streets. Between 30% and 40% of workers hold government jobs, at the national, provincial or local level. For decades they have selfishly bought into the false promise of ever expanding wages and benefits paid at the public's expense. They have been played for suckers and now, to paraphrase Margret Thatcher, socialism has run out of other people's money. Well at least other Greek's money. The game now is to keep playing with other European's and American's money.
Take a look at this picture. Just last week this fat pig, I'm sorry there is no more fitting term, Greece's Deputy Prime Minister issued a warning that if the austerity plan was not passed there would be tanks in the streets. It sounds like he is channeling Hank Paulson's desperate pleading for the TARP package.
To see picture: http://theeveningchronicle.blogspot.com/
I could think of no better caption than "Austerity for thee, but not for me."
These elites, these politicians and bankers are but 1/10 of 1% of the population, if that. They are busily engaged in selling us the fraud that the other 99.9% of us must sacrifice ourselves for their survival. Whether we buy it, and if we do, for how long, remains to be seen. As I write this the Finance Ministry building in downtown Athens is ablaze. Do we really want Syntagma Square in Athens to be coming to a town near us? If we don't send the clear message to our politicians in the next elections that the game has to stop, the banks have to be broken up and the corrupt must be tried, convicted and jailed (can you hear me Ben Bernanke, and Lloyd Blankfein, and tax cheat Tim?) then our last chance for a peaceful resolution may well be gone and the beginnings of George Orwell's "jackboot stomping on a human face forever" in his novel "1984" may well be upon us. Finding courage is difficult, failing to find it may be disastrous.
The GOP should say fine we'll give you the jet thing in exchange for $250B in cuts next year.

I find it mind-boggling that so many people, even some "conservative-minded" folks I know, still think raising taxes on "big oil" or any other "big" is a good idea. They think that these companies will just pay the tax out of profits, thus reducing their profits a bit. They never stop to think that these companies will likely pass the cost on to the wholesalers and consumers. So in the end, we all pay more and the big, bad company they tried to punish is none the worse for wear.
BillyWilly on June 29, 2011 at 2:43 PM
The biggest problem for Obama is that people looking to him to provide new answers get the same old same old stuff. As this presser highlighted.
It worked in 2008, because he started out with a fresh look and a clean plate. After his solutions after solutions since 2009, how is that going to work this time?

The pressitute schmucks thought that the Malia and Sasha homework analogy was a laff riot.

The room was wonderful, fully equipped with everything you could ever wish for and more. Sharing the bathroom with Mieke was no issue, and it was always clean. Breakfast was enormous, and amazing, and in our 6 night stay, nothing was ever repeated. Warm breadrolls, fresh fruit, freshly squeezed orange juice, yoghurt, boiled egg, meats and cheeses and home made jams...it was truly amazing. It would have fed a family of 6! The location, although outside the city centre was great. Walk down the road, and a direct tram takes you to the centre. Also very convenient for catching trains to the south. Finding it initially was confusing, but we rang Mieke and a couple of minutes later she was at the station and walked us back to the apartment.We are yet to find a better bed and breakfast...believe us, we have stayed in MANY. They have all been more expensive, too! Thank you Mieke, you are a wonderful host. Jennifer and Yana

Rodabe N. Amaria, M.D.
Present Title & Affiliation
Primary Appointment
Bio Statement
Rodabe Amaria, MD joined the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center as an Assistant Professor in July 2013 in the department of Melanoma Medical Oncology. She is a clinician specialized in the care of patients with advanced stage melanoma. Dr. Amaria co-directs the biospecimen collection efforts in the melanoma clinic and has helped build an infrastructure conducive to obtaining serial blood samples and tumor biopsies in patients undergoing treatment to elucidate biomarkers of response and resistance. She is involved in the development of neoadjuvant protocols in melanoma which allows for longitudinal tumor collections to understand changes in the tumor microenvironment in response to a specific treatment. She has an interest in translational immunotherapy research with a focus on understanding mechanisms of resistance to immunomodulatory therapies. Since joining MDACC, Dr. Amaria has been involved with enhancing the adoptive cell therapy program using tumor infiltrating lymphocytes. The hope of the program is to better understand how T cell therapy can be applied to help more patients with melanoma and make ACT more widely accessible to patients.

Into the WoodsMature
"Into the Woods" is a fairy-tale musical mash-up by Broadway genius Stephan Sondheim. And it happens to be our high school musical this year. Which is where most of my time has gone.
I love being in musicals/plays (yes, there is a difference for you non-theatre-obsessed kids out there!). I guess the main reason is the idea of pretending. Of being someone else.
I am drawn to that idea like a moth to a flame.
Life, for me, is just simpler when I know what I'm supposed to say. How I'm supposed to act. It's such a relief.
But, anyways, rehearsals. All. The. Time. And I love it.

Forgive and forget? or hold a grude forever?
Aimee's p.o.v
"Aimee, can I talk to you?" Lucas's words shocked me at first; I really wasn't expecting him to even try talking to me after I had given him the cold shoulder for the past five days. I didn't know what to say at first, I didn't know whether I should accept or if I should have just stayed sat down in my seat.
"Aimee, talk to him please." Annabell said in her sweet voice, the sweet voice that I knew I couldn't go against, I sighed and stood up glaring at Jace as he snickered quietly at me for being forced.
"Well?" I asked him sharply
"Alone, Outside" he emphasised each word as though it were really important; I shrugged and let him lead me outside to the front garden.
"What do you want Lucas?" I ran and sat in one of the trees closest to the house, since I have been living there, that tree had become my favourite place to relax, and to get away from Lucas.
Lucas sits next to me and I automatically moved away from him, I didn't even need to think about doing it, it just seemed to be a sort of reflex now, but hey, who can blame me? Lucas sighed and said "This is exactly what I want to talk to you about" I folded my arms and leant against the railings on the steps
"Don't know what you mean" I muttered, turning away from him, so that I couldn't see his face
"You know exactly what I'm talking about: the way you ignore me with everything I do, the way you won't even stay in the same room with me!" I gasped as he pulled me around to face him and look me in the eyes; I glared at him when I said hotly "I have a pretty good reason to do so." He let go of me and turned away quickly, but not quick enough for me to see the anger on his face
"This is just such childish behaviour!" he muttered
I just stare at him for a minute, did he not realise what age I was? Technically I was still a child, no matter how much I liked to think of myself as grown up, when I was human, I could not deny that I was really a child. I felt my face heat up and turn a fiery shade of red before the tears started up "I am still a child! Only 14, 14 Lucas, do you not understand why I act this way? I can't do anything now! I can't get any older than eighteen and I just found out from Annabell the other day that I might not be able to have kids! It's not the sort of life I truly wanted! I wanted to have a loving husband, a family and a good job, I didn't want to be stuck as a blood sucking freak all my life." I couldn't stop myself from crying my eyes out; the tears just seemed to stream from my eyes without me being able to control them. I turned away from Lucas but not before I see the regret and grief spread across his face.
I sob loudly and begin to get up from my seat to go back inside and to my room, but Lucas stopped me and pulled me into his strong arms "Aimee, I am so sorry. I cannot take back what I have done, but I honestly and truthfully regret everything I did to you. I really wish that I could undo all of this, but I can't, I should have realised what this had done to you because this happened to me too, it ruined my life and my future with Ruth, I'm so sorry Aimee." I pulled out of his grip and begin to walk back inside, but I stop, realising I have been hard enough on Lucas and that he seemed to truly regret what he did to me. I turned back to him and whispered "I'm not just going to be able to become your biggest fan, but I can try and be a little nicer to you I guess." I turned away again and open the door top find myself walking straight into Annabell's arms, she held me tightly before letting go and saying "Oh Aimee, I never knew you thought like that."
"I'm ok Annabell, honestly" I said, though my traitor tears tell another story. The door was still open and I looked outside to see the weather churn, the sun which had been shining down had been covered by grey clouds and there was so much rain, I knew that this was Annabell that was doing this and I smiled at her, wishing that I, too had some power no one else had.

Conrad, Very good but I think you have far too much time on your hands. Gary Conrad Harrison wrote:
Timothy, and others The world is dynamic. What ever we do, we change the environment in which we operate. We therefore need feedback mechanisms to monitor those changes so that we can adapt our behaviour accordingly. Like a plant, it pollutes its environment with carbon dioxide, then before it suffocates it adapts its behaviour and breathes in the carbon dioxide and then pollutes its environment with oxygen. A plant can thus survive in a sealed terrarium whilst an animal will suffocate because it cannot adapt appropriately. Historically, when a farmer needed a barn, the village community got together and built a barn, then got back to farming. There wasn't someone who figured they could spend their entire lives building barns. All products have a lifecycle: demand starts slowly, then slowly increases, then rapidly increases, plateaus out, and then tapers off approaching zero. A supplier needs to be in a position of having developed a new product to bring on line to maintain a constant plateau or growth. The clearest illustration of this is the product lifecycles of computer memory chips: has memory has increased in size, the sales volume has increased. Each larger memory chip arrived just as the demand for the smaller chip dropped from the plateau. Most products whether goods or services are some variant of a common generic product form. Once released to the market they will transform the market, the product will be put to use for purposes beyond the expectations of the designers, and prove defective for many of those uses. Thus generating demand for alternative variants of the product form. These variants are in competition with each other, and population ecology models have been used in attempts to model such competition. Engineers are a product just like any other. They are an artificial creation of the industrial system. Once something is engineered it can be made and sold thousands of times. So clearly the demand for design engineers is low, unless have regulations such as those for the building industry. Remove those regulations and most engineers in the building industry would become unemployed: they lack imagination and ingenuity. Design engineers to remain employed have to be creative and inventive. Whilst engineers employed as analysts and certifiers are otherwise dependent on new designs being introduced by others. But consider a four year degree in engineering, most irrespective of discipline contain at least four to five major streams. Now whilst the B.Eng may push the advanced applied mathematics side of engineering, such has very little demand in the real world. Such studies have far greater value for going onto further studies such as a masters and doctorate, which also have little demand. The vast majority of design decisions can be assessed by persons trained in one year specialist programmes. On the other hand, there is also Louis Napoleons quote: New inventions have to remain dormant until the common intellect raises to comprehend them. There is little point being able to design something, if the technology is rejected by the community. If the technology is accepted, then there is still the problem of availability of resources: cannot weld if do not have qualified welders. Thus it is all very well to be pushing people through university, but a population of designers and engineers, is little value if do not have adequate supply of skilled trades people. But those in school are not actively pursing studies of the market place, identifying gluts and shortages: they choose academic programmes, on the basis of interest of perceived high wages. Further more the universities only partly adjust their academic programmes to meet the needs of the demand for skills, mostly they offer programmes based on the student market, and what they can supply. Which is the other problem. The market doesn't supply to the demand of human needs. Humans are born into an environment with limited access to resources they therefore have to transform the relatively useless resources they have access to, into the resources they really need to survive. Thus it is more a demand the market buys what is supplied rather than what it needs. Business is a real world experiment. The purpose of business is to maximise profits, not minimise costs. The minimum cost of everything is zero: don't do it. If you choose to do something it costs what it costs. The two ways to increase profits are: increase sales volume, or increase price. Nothing has a real price, and it is easier to increase price than expend effort increasing sales. But has price increases then demand may drop off. When Aprica introduced its baby pusher, it was apparently possible in the US to buy a pusher for $30, so selling the Aprica for $250 was considered crazy. Not only did it sell, but parents bought two of three of the pushers, to make sure grandparents had one on hand. Perceived quality matters, so buyers need to be made aware of the quality. Sole practitioners and small business do not necessarily undercut other fees. When big projects disappear from the market, the big business lays its people off, they then become sole practitioners to survive. So here in Australia we may have State and Federal awards which set minimum pay rates, but only employing business have to comply with. Those minima keep getting adjusted to the market, but only ever upwards, they never drop with the market. A sole practitioner simply has to make enough to survive. Secondly the sole practitioner when they start, don't have much scope for negotiating fees, they have to accept what ever fee is offered. So they typically start out on wages less than the award minima, until they have built a reasonable client base, then they can start increasing fees to slow the demand for their services. So at any point in time there are new businesses and established businesses. Established businesses may have infrastructure problems. For example in many instances the only way to provide more efficient manufacturing facilities is to build a new up to date factory somewhere else, then shut the original factory down. Taking the product lifecyle into consideration, the old factory should then be transformed into a still even more efficient factory. Thus always need at least two production lines or factories, the old and the incoming new methods. If engineers are considered to originate, technologists to adapt and technicians to apply. Then engineers are should always be pushing the knowledge base down the line to the technicians. Thus last year an engineer was required to find a solution to a problem, this year only need technicians to implement that solution. One of my economics texts indicates that early on the American medical profession closed down training hospitals, and increased academic requirements for the profession, creating a shortage of supply and pushing fees up. Clearly not a case of supplying to the demand for services. Increased access to quality health care does not require more doctors. Doctors are just an industrial product, and they can be replaced by other higher quality products. Architects and engineers compete for work, depending on the complexity of the project. Architects and builders also compete depending on the complexity of the project. Now historically architects were the chief builders on building projects and civil engineers were the chief builders systems other than buildings: canals, dams, bridges, lighthouses, railways. Now engineers are largely consultants. With the increased emphasis on applied mathematics, many are also now largely analysts and relatively poor designers and poor managers. Much of the number crunching can now however be carried out by computer. So the traditional engineer/builder may have gone and seen a mathematician to assist with assessing some new structure, before building it. Increased training of engineers however, meant the engineer could analyse the system themselves. But increased bias towards analysis, means few engineers can actually build what they have designed. Worst than that, increasingly much of what they design cannot be built. It is potentially an unwarranted and inefficient division of labour, to have builders and designers. Computers allow calculations to be done quickly. But the question is whether the computers are used by the modern builders or the modern engineers. The modern engineers contend that they should be running the programs, not the builders. But no doubts the computer software is going to improve to the extent that builders can use the software. For the builder can either rely on the consulting mathematician or conduct the calculations themselves. Mathematics is however a model of reality, and the traditional engineers, may have sought assistance from mathematicians, but they otherwise did experiments to confirm for themselves, that the predictions of the mathematical models were reliable. The traditional civil engineers had access to the building materials and labour necessary to build and test prototypes. A consultant typically has access to zero physical resources: no research laboratory, no workshop. No means of validating empirical theory in house. Also limited opportunity to generate fees to finance experimental research. Coulomb had the resources of the army. Telford was in control of the projects. Engineering businesses need to integrate horizontally and vertically. Vertically integrate with clients and suppliers: for example to capture the work which would otherwise go to builders and architects. Increasingly clients look for a one-stop shop. Buyers also look for products rather than drawings. Thus they look to buy a shed from a shed manufacturer, the manufacturer may or may not employ engineers: here most don't. The buyer thus enters into a kind of design and construct contract: not formal or intended. The quality of service should thus improve if these businesses were owned and operated by engineers rather than: trades people and accountants. And why is it that trades people can afford to build factories and but expensive machinery, but engineers cannot? Given salaries of the employee engineers are typically higher than trade employees. Design it once make it thousands of times. Control the production. As for horizontal integration: enter those markets with substitute products. Caravans, motor homes and boats can substitute for houses. Each product has its advantages and disadvantages. Motor homes allow owners to move and retain familiar home, whilst rented accommodation can vary significantly. Young people with low wages entering the market for a home, need low cost accommodation, and low risk. A motor home they can pay for in a short time frame, a building would take much longer, and therefore a building requires a more secure long term job. Birth, nurturing and growth need to be taken into consideration, the whole place is not mature and established. The available types of housing has to be varied. Cannot allow a city to develop to the extent that it becomes incapable of providing for the next generation. If that happens the city grows old and dies. A city can be likened to a higher form of life, as can a business. The human resources are like blood cells, they are constantly refreshed, and also potentially individually insignificant and expendable. Both the individual and the collective have an important part to play. Hence shareholders and companies. It is not competition that we should be protecting, but diversity of product forms. And as I have said engineers have but just one of those product forms. No do you really want to be an engineer, or do what is necessary for survival? A rose by any other name would still be a rose, or smell as sweet. Doctor, lawyer, accountant, architect and engineer are simply trite titles. Protect them if you want. But if the title is protected and the holders are to survive then what they do has to change. We all operate in a market based economy. It has nothing do with capitalist and communist ideologies. There is a market demand for capitalist ideology and also for communist. Both ideologies are flawed, what ever they happen to be. For the ideologies themselves are not clearly defined, and their interpretation is as varied as there are people on the planet. Things have to be named somehow, and consequently language adapts and evolves, and words change meaning. Thus democracy and republic also have varied and diverse range of meanings. Descriptive terms maybe added such as social democracy, then it gets abbreviated to either: socialism or democracy. Such ideas are complex, and have to revert to individual authors and their views to fully identify an idea. But even if identify say Karl Marx, still going to get a diverse range of views of what he meant, or what followers would want him to have meant. As I say release a product into the environment and it changes the environment. An engineers license may protect the public. But there are a multitude of other ways to protect the public. The license also restricts trade and creates a product from a person, and potentially creates a redundant product. Clearly the licensing system seems directed towards pushing numbers through codes of practice, and assessing code compliant product. Such activity however is not really engineering. Engineering requires ingenuity. But the introduction of the license and the protection of the title, has changed the nature of engineering and what it means to be an engineer. If I want something to be code compliant seek an engineer. If want to solve a real world problem, rather than implement text book standard solutions, then who do we seek, for it clearly is not the services of the modern licensed engineer? For they are largely not problem solvers but code crunchers. Sure some are real problem solvers, and it is their status and prestige that the code crunchers desire. But such status doesn't come from passing exam's or joining an elite group, or by association: it comes from actually solving the real world problems and being seen to be the one responsible for such solution. Forget about the title engineer: you have a name. Design is about finding solutions which satisfy human needs. Business is about selling those solutions. Be proactive in seeking out problems and solutions to those problems. Promote those solutions through business activities. When business concentrates on profits rather than satisfying human needs. Then there is a shortage in supply, and unsatisfied human needs, and thus market for other suppliers. Those other suppliers can enter the market providing product at what ever price they choose relative to their costs of production. The new suppliers may have vastly more efficient production systems, or a product which is simply easier and more efficient to make than other variants. (eg. Technicians take less time to train than engineers and could do some 80% of the work.) The new players in the market can thus supply at significantly lower prices. Compare Japanese quality assurance, versus western quality control: costs less to get it right first time than it does to filter defects out. Big engineering consultancies often lay off their older staff: these people have more experience and a better chance of getting it right first time. When they become sole practitioners they are more efficient in many ways than the larger established businesses. They do not have to undercut prices. Big business needs to look internally to the efficiency of its systems. Large private bureaucracies are just as inefficient as government bureaucracies. So no efficiency results from privatisation if hand over to similar organisation. But then also need to consider synergy: the whole is different than the sum of its parts: either more or less. Optimising a part of system can result in the whole becoming extremely inefficient. Optimise the whole and the parts may suffer. A company can exist beyond the lifespan of its members, a sole practitioner cannot. But a company can change its nature, and so may not always provide expected quality of service. Sustaining the product which is the business is no easy task. Business is an experiment, life is an experiment. You hypothesise, test, observe and measure, and adapt accordingly. If you adapt correctly then you will survive, if not then you will perish. Forget about trite titles, and improving the status of the collective of engineers. Concentrate on doing the job properly what ever it may present, building your reputation for quality and reliability: then your status and value will grow. If clients want an engineer, then anyone with the title will do: you want the clients to want you by name. If you belong to a profession, then your status will rub off on that profession, bad and good. You don't want profession getting undue prestige, clients may then think anyone in profession will do. Anyone with the license will do, and lowest cost is good. You have to get the clients/market to want you and pay what ever fee you can command. And licenses are just another product in the market which can be made redundant and displaced. Little is static. So go play and experiment.

We had a very nice two night stay at the hotel. Positives aspects were 1. Friendly employees 2. Relatively clean facility 3. Indoor pool and sauna 4. Easy to find 5. Fresh strawberries, cookies and milk were delivered to our room for our children the first night we stayed. Negative aspects were whirpool out of order, parking at 16 dollars a day, no fridge or microwave in room and breakfast at $14.

Predicting the political position of the Congress-led UPA government, Punjab deputy chief minister Sukhbir Singh Badal on Monday claimed that the Congress had no political future in the country and time has come when it will die its own political death.
"The Congress did nothing for masses and constantly ignored nation as well as interests of general public that's why it has been routed out from various states, including the national capital, the so-called 'political castle' of this anti-people party. Now, it would have to face the wrath of countrymen in ensuing general elections," said the deputy CM.
Sukhbir was here to organise a sangat darshan programme in Mansa district along with Bathinda MP and wife Harsimrat Kaur Badal. He inaugurated a sewerage treatment plant worth Rs 12 crore and laid the foundation stone for upgrading Mansa bus stand at a cost of Rs 50 lakh.
"The magic of BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi will completely rout out the Congress from national politics," he said.
During the sangat darshan, Sukhbir announced that by mid-January all 21 municipal wards of Mansa town would get cent per cent sewerage. Sukhbir asked the chief executive officer of sewerage and water supply department to ensure sewerage connections to every household before the end of next month and directed the MD, sewerage and water supply, to depute a dedicated officer at Mansa to eradicate all sewerage-related complaints within two days.
Appealing to residents to become active partners for ensuring holistic development to make Mansa a model district in the state, Harsimrat said, "I'll review all the development works every six months and Mansa residents should keep a check on the ongoing projects besides bringing to my notice or to the deputy commissioner's if they find any negligence on the part of the administration."
Harsimrat also directed the deputy commissioner to sort out grievances of locals on 1st of every month in his office by holding sangat darshan from 10am to 12noon.

Patrick Dempsey, aka Dr. McDreamy, interested in buying Tully's Coffee
The Associated Press
Patrick Dempsey says he wants to rescue a coffee house chain and more than 500 jobs.
The "Grey's Anatomy" star said Wednesday he's leading a group attempting to buy Tully's Coffee. The Seattle-based company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in October.
Dempsey said he's excited about the chance to help hundreds of workers and give back to Seattle.
The actor has a strong TV tie to the city: He plays Dr. Derek Shepherd on "Grey's Anatomy," the ABC drama set at fictional Seattle Grace Hospital.
Tully's has 47 company-run stores in Washington and California, as well as five franchised stores and 58 licensed locations in the U.S.
Any sale would have to be approved by a judge. A bankruptcy court hearing is set for Jan. 11 in Seattle.

Peter and I live in Ontario, Canada with our 11 year old son. We work in the technology and health care fields and love to spend our free time travelling, skiing and playing sports.
The Owner purchased this house in 2008
We chose to purchase a home in Florida because we found it easy to get to from our home in Canada and a great escape from the cold winters. We love that there is so much to do that and that places are easy to get to such as spending time at nearby beaches, trying out the attractions like Disney, Sea World, Lego Land, water parks or simply relaxing in the beautiful weather and swimming in the pool. It's a great escape from our busy lives and lets us enjoy time as a family and to bring friends and family with us to enjoy time together.
This location offers so much. You can relax by the pool or on the back patio, go for a walk, use the amenities of the resort community centre which is a short walk away or you can hope in the car for a short trip to nearby restaturants, shopping or attractions. The house provides a lot of privacy and all the amenities of being at home.
Our family trip to Florida was a amazing. This house was everything you could ask for. We would go out in the mornings only to rush back to enjoy the pool in the backyard. We wanted a mixture of fun and relaxation and this was the place! Disney is so close, although we didn't go on this trip, we found many other fun things to do around the area. Seaworld was one, again very close. The owners provided an information package with nearby shopping that helped lots. Walmart, Target, etc. Food places are plentiful. This house had everything you needed. From kitchen supplies, to pool toys, to beach stuff. It was so comfortable and very spacious for more than 1 family. The owners are very informative, helpful and easy to work with. Windsor Hills is a great clean neighbourhood. The resort pool and slide, games rooms, etc were also great to enjoy. We can't wait to go back!
This is a beautiful home with a lovely pool and patio. We had six adults and two children; we had plenty of room with each couple and child having their own bedroom and bathroom. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and patio everyday! Windsor Hills is a beautiful gated community with pool and activities at the main lodge. The home is located in close proximity to shopping, Disney, and many more attractions. Excellent vacation property for families or adults!
We highly recommend this property, Peter and Laura are fantastic to deal with and very accommodating. Any problems or concerns were taken care of immediately. We truly enjoyed the area and their beautiful home!
We stayed at this villa for a month while visiting the Orlando area. It is a very nice home with everything one needs for a great stay. We loved spending our time outdoors on the great patio furniture and swimming in the pool. The house is also in a great location within Windsor Hills. It's an easy walk to the playground, ball courts, sun dry shop, etc. The location can't be beat in Windsor Hills, in my opinion. Also, you're just a 5 minute drive to lots of restaurants and things to do. We would definitely rent this property again when we're in the Orlando area.
We were very pleased with our experience! Comfortable beds, and a spacious set up to accommodate a group of 9. It was great to come back to a dip in the pool or a relaxing hot tub after a long day of events! A great clubhouse pool with many options was an added bonus. Thanks Peter and Laura for opening your home to us!
We were very happy with Peter and Laura's home. It was exactly as described in the VRBO website. The five bedrooms all had a private bathroom and each room had their own tv. The two children's bedrooms had televisions with built-in DVD players with a large selection of movies. It was close to Disney World, a 10-15 minute drive from their driveway to the parking lot of all Disney attractions, depending on the traffic. When we spent the day at the beach, we made use of their beach towels, coolers, and sand toys. It was nice to have a large capacity washer and dryer available. The kitchen/dining room had everything we needed and although we didn't use the pool area very much, there was plenty of room to enjoys the outdoors as well. This was a perfect place for our family (3 generations!) to enjoy an awesome family vacation. We would definitely stay at this home again!
We had a great stay; we had 5 adults, and each was able to have plenty of space with each having their own bathroom. Very clean!
We stayed here with our 2-year old toddler for 10 days. The house was perfect for us. Some of the best features: screened pool, heated to the perfect temperature for our son; high-quality patio furniture (couch is very comfy); BBQ; tasteful décor; lots of extras for kids (pack n play, stroller, DVDs, books); 2 blocks to the best playground in the neighborhood; plenty of towels. The owners were extremely responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend.

I love sharing my home with friends and strangers alike. I've lived in Austin for 13 years and am happy to point you to spots off the beaten path (Cathedral of Junk) to the sparkling jewels in the middle of the city (Barton Springs). I'm a User-Experience Designer for a Clean Tech/Energy Management start-up. I love the challenge and rewards of conserving in all aspects of life. I enjoy bike riding, brewing and drinking craft beer, gardening, petting my chickens, sewing and DIY projects, seeing live music, traveling, and eating great food. I've only been to 13 countries and 25 states. I most recently spent a few months in Hawaii living off grid on a living farm that is doing reforestation on the Big Island.
