Outsourcing Jobs Leaves the American White-Collar Worker Behind

A revised and updated “Outsourcing America” calls for action

Note: Audio available for this story

Outsourcing might be good for American corporations, but it’s not necessarily good for American workers, and it’s likely to be bad for the American economy, even in the long run.

The revised edition of Outsourcing America: The True Cost of Shipping Jobs Overseas and What Can Be Done about It (AMACOM) written by Ron Hira, assistant professor of public policy at Rochester Institute of Technology, and Anil Hira, professor of political science at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, brings attention to the voiceless white-collar American worker.

Moving jobs overseas is reshaping the American economy to suit corporate America. It also compromises American workers, the authors maintain. The trend has increased significantly since Outsourcing America was first published in 2005 and now includes different skill levels and types of jobs, says Ron Hira.

Released this spring, Outsourcing America updates the outsourcing debate and critically assesses the role corporations play in setting policy for high-skill immigration and outsourcing, the practice of moving American jobs across national borders. The authors also look at outsourcing trends in Europe, Canada and Australia, and other developed countries.

Outsourcing America closely examines the message businesses send when they threaten to outsource more jobs if not allowed to import cheaper guest workers.

“What they’re saying is that increasing the guest worker program (H-1B and L-1 visa programs) will keep jobs here and save jobs from being offshored,” says RIT’s Hira. “When in reality those programs are being used to do knowledge transfer to transfer jobs overseas. The business community is on the one hand saying outsourcing is good, and on the other using the threat of outsourcing to change immigration policy. It’s quite clever.”

Instead of American companies competing against foreign rivals—which was the case in the 1980s when American semiconductor, auto and steel manufacturers lost market share to Japanese manufacturers—companies are now pitting their American workers against their overseas counterparts. According to Hira, this changes the political dynamics, but more importantly, changes which policies will be effective.

The white-collar worker has no representation in the outsourcing debate controlled by business interests, he notes. Likewise, the U.S. government has taken no policy response to outsourcing, an issue that has surfaced in the 2008 election season.

“The presidential candidates have tried to use the issue of outsourcing to their advantage, but once you cut through the rhetoric, there isn’t much substance behind the policy proposals from either candidate,” Hira says.

The authors recommend establishing a new organizational institution that represents American workers, something akin to the influential AARP, but on issues that directly affect the workplace.

“We don’t have an organization for people who work,” Hira says. “There’s almost no awareness even that people aren’t represented in Washington. And I don’t see anybody talking about it.”

Rochester Institute of Technology is internationally recognized for academic leadership in computing, engineering, imaging technology, and fine and applied arts, in addition to unparalleled support services for students with hearing loss. Nearly 16,000 full- and part-time students are enrolled in more than 200 career-oriented and professional programs at RIT, and its cooperative education program is one of the oldest and largest in the nation.

Al Foster Memorial Trail

Depending on whom you ask, the Al Foster Memorial Trail is anywhere from 2.5 to 5.5 miles long. For the purposes of this honor, we're going with the Meramec Greenway's version, which pegs the 2.5-mile stretch of trail between the Sherman Beach Trailhead and the Glencoe Trailhead (off Highway 109 in Wildwood). There's a reason local cross-country coaches bring their teams here to train. After a slight incline through the first half-mile along the north bank of the Meramec River, the trail's forgiving packed-stone surface, which runs along an abandoned railroad route, is virtually pancake flat as you wend your way west amid the dense riverside canopy. Markers helpfully placed at quarter-mile intervals make it easy to achieve any out-and-back mileage you desire. Perhaps better still, with only one road crossing, a run on Al Foster is virtually auto-free. One cautionary note: Keep your eyes open at dusk. As it's also one of the more remote places to run in St. Louis, you'll see critters you want to see (like wild turkeys and deer), along with some you might not (like snakes).

Attorney Defrauds Rockaway Elderly

Attorney Defrauds Rockaway Elderly

Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown has announced that a court-appointed Long Island City lawyer has been sentenced to prison for three to nine years for stealing — in repeated trusteeship thefts during a five-year period between 1997 and 2002 — over $2.1 million from the funds of 17 incapacitated individuals, including an 18-year-old youth born totally disabled, a quadriplegic and an elderly Alzheimer’s disease victim, whose personal needs and property management he had been appointed by the courts to provide for and assist.

Those who were defrauded include a number of Rockaway residents.

According to the District Attorney, a wider investigation by his Integrity Bureau into the oversight process involving Guardianships and other fiduciary appointments in Queens County is continuing, declaring: "It is essential that public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the process by which fiduciaries are appointed and regulated — and the manner in which they carry out their responsibilities — be maintained."

District Attorney Brown said, "The defendant — a court- appointed fiduciary — has admitted his guilt, acknowledged that he stole over $2.1 million in assets from helpless and vulnerable individuals for whom he had been appointed  to provide financial management, protection and care and waived his right to appeal.  My office has worked with the Queens County Public Administrator and  Surrogate Nahman to liquidate the defendant’s personal assets — including his houses in Glen Cove and Hawaii and an expensive wine collection — to ensure that the victims and their estates are  made whole.  The defendant betrayed his solemn obligation to honestly and responsibly administer the affairs of the victims and  corrupted the fiduciary process for his own selfish purposes.  His punishment of imprisonment is more than warranted."

Brown added that under existing law the courts make fiduciary appointments of court evaluators, attorneys for allegedly incapacitated persons, guardians, guardians ad litem and court examiners to provide for the personal care of incapacitated persons and to manage their property and financial affairs.  Fees for services provided by those appointees are paid from the incapacitated persons’ assets and accountings are reviewed by court examiners — who are also compensated from the funds of those individuals — and reported to the courts.

Brown identified the defendant as Robert B. Kress, 46, of 19 Bittersweet Lane in Glen Cove, New York, an attorney since 1986.  The defendant was charged in November 2002 in a 17-count indictment with Grand Larceny in the Second and Third Degree and Offering a False Instrument for Filing in the First Degree and Perjury in the First Degree.

The defendant admitted in court when he pled guilty on May 28, 2003 before Queens Supreme Court Justice James P. Griffin and at his sentencing earlier today that he stole over $2.1 million from 17 separate guardianships from 1997 to 2002.  He was automatically disbarred upon his plea of guilty.

The District Attorney said that his investigation of the defendant began in September 2002 when the Queens County Public Administrator’s Office discovered an irregularity in the accounting of the financial affairs of a 67-year-old mentally ill individual for whom the defendant had been appointed to serve as guardian and notified Queens County Administrative Judge Steven W. Fisher who in turn referred the matter to the District Attorney.

The investigation determined that between March 1997 and August 2002 the defendant stole over $2.1 million from the funds of incapacitated individuals and filed false instruments and lied to cover the thefts when accounting for costs and expenditures.

The thefts from Rockaway residents included: $631,000 between April 1, 1999 and September 2000 taken from a guardianship and the estate of a 67-year-old mentally ill man who died on February 2, 2000 at a nursing home, Horizon Care Center, 6411 Beach Channel Drive, Far Rockaway, Queens; $832,000 between June 1, 1997 and August 2002 taken from a guardianship and an estate of a 52-year-old quadriplegic who died on December 14, 2001 at a nursing home, Peninsula General Nursing Home, 5015 Beach Channel Drive, Far Rockaway, Queens; and $35,000 between December 30, 1999 and February 2, 2002 taken from a guardianship of an 81-year-old woman with Alzheimer’s disease who is being cared for at a nursing home, Park Nursing Home, 128 B115th Street, Rockaway Park, Queens;

District Attorney Brown expressed his appreciation to Queens County Administrative Judge Steven W. Fisher, Queens County Surrogate Robert L. Nahman, Queens County Public Administrator Lois M. Rosenblatt, her Counsel, Gerald J. Sweeney, and the New York State Unified Court System’s Inspector General Sherrill R. Spatz for their cooperation and assistance.

It’s that time again—county election filing period
David Barkemeyer
Milam County Judge

Well, as the day rapidly approaches when it will be time to file for reelection (November 9 is when the filing period begins) I am amazed at how quickly my first term as county judge has gone by.

I’ll have to be ready to give an answer to your question, “Okay mister, just what have you accomplished these past 3 years?”

I’m not allowed to try to answer that question here in this column but must try to do so on the campaign trail.

But I will say that whatever it’s been couldn’t have been accomplished without the cooperation and help of the other elected officials, county employees, and citizens of Milam County.

As I was thinking about running again, my first thought was, “I don’t need to be working this hard at my age, besides the outlook for the next few budget cycles could be even rougher than this last one, so why not just let someone else handle the grief.” But that would be chickening out. The next thing that came to mind is I think I now know how Judge Summers must have felt last time around when I along with Chip Dunsmoor ran against him.

Now I’m the incumbent and while I’m busy at work county judging, my challengers will be out there putting up signs and campaigning away while I’m tied down having to do the job they’re trying to take away from me.

Somehow it doesn’t seem fair, guess the shoe is on the other foot now.

Also this time around many of the contests may be in the Republican Primary, whereas in the not too distant past all the local races were in the Democratic Primary.

So on March 4 voters must decide which election you’re going to vote in. Unfortunately you aren’t allowed to vote in both primaries.

Some of you may still be confused about that.

Anyway, get ready to see our beautiful county and towns fill up with political signs once again as we erst while political types go at it again between now and March.

I for one pledge to keep my campaign focused on what I feel I have accomplished so far, what I want to try to accomplish if you choose to elect me to another four year term as county judge, and what I believe we should be trying to do to make Milam County a better place to live.

In addition to county judge, we’ll have candidates running for commissioner in precincts 1, 2, and 4; district clerk, county clerk, treasurer, justice-of-the-peace in all four precincts, and constable precinct 3. dbarkemeyer@milamcounty.net

Night Watch

Night Watch Movie Review

I confess to a flagging interest in the struggle between the forces of Light and Darkness. It's like Super Sunday in a sport I do not follow, like tetherball. We're told the future of the world hangs in the balance, and then everything comes down to a handful of hung-over and desperate characters surrounded by dubious special effects. I want to hear Gabriel blow that horn.

Movies about apocalyptic showdowns always begin with an origin story; the rules for the struggle were established long ago, but now a recent crisis has altered the balance. That's the case with Timur Bekmambetov's "Night Watch," the first in a fantasy trilogy from Russia. We learn that in the year 1342, the Warriors of Light and the Warriors of Darkness met in battle on a bridge, and so bloody was their carnage that it appeared both teams of Others (so called, I think, because they are not Sames) would lose all of their warriors, which might have been a good thing for Earth in the long run. But it was not to be; Gesser and Vavulon, the leaders of Light and Darkness, establish a truce, which holds until Moscow 1992, when a new Other is born whose existence may reopen the ancient struggle.

We learn that during all the centuries in between, the truce was enforced; the Warriors of Light ran a Night Watch, and the Warriors of Darkness ran a Day Watch, to keep tabs on each other. Sometimes, when they were shorthanded, they hired a free-lancer from the other side, which is like trusting mercenaries because now they're working for you. But now a young boy has been born who senses The Call and is drawn toward vampires — but hold on, how did they get in here? It appears that Others and Vampires are either interchangeable or operate in sync with each other, and the vampire hero Anton (Konstantin Khabensky), working for Light, attempts to rescue young Yegor (Dima Martinov) from the vampires of Darkness. Whichever team gets Yegor holds the edge. This is like Quidditch in hell.

You will sense that my understanding of the plot is not crystal-clear. Do not depend upon me for a rational synopsis. In the meantime, a Vortex is heading for Moscow, as symbolized by ground-level shots of special-effects birds whirling about the roof of a tall building. Severe turbulence seizes an airplane, and the power plant in Moscow blows up, throwing everything into darkness, and then Anton is savagely attacked , and brought into the office of the president of the light company, who sweeps everything off his desk and turns it into an operating theater to save him by plunging his fist into the chest of the victim, just like those magic healers we used to hear about in the Philippines.The Others are hardy; one warrior removes his own spine and uses it as a bludgeon. I wondered how he remained standing and had movement in his limbs, but it didn't seem to bother him.

Let us return to the endangered airplane. The passengers scream, the plane plunges wildly through the air, and at one point is actually seen so close to the ground that it passes power cables. Then it’s left to bounce about forgotten by the plot, until a perfunctory shot shows it aloft again and cruising smoothly. That's after the lights go back on in Moscow, which is odd, since how can the power plant function after it has exploded into smithereens? The movie is so plot-heavy, it scurries between developments like a puppy surrounded by pigeons. I cringe in anticipation of the e-mails explaining all of this to me; those who understand the plot of “Night Watch” should forget about the movies and get right to work on string theory.

One interesting quality of the film is its use of characters who seem as if they might actually live in Moscow. They have a careworn look. Most Light vs. Darkness movies involve elaborate wardrobes, as if, between Apocalypsi, the warriors refit at a custom leather shop. But the Others look scruffy, drink vodka and blood more or less interchangeably, and speed around the city not in a customized Vampiremobile but in a truck of the sort used to transport refrigerated meat. While indoors, they spend a lot of time in rooms that remind me of Oscar Wilde's dying words: “Either this wallpaper goes, or I do.”

The subtitles for the movie rise to the occasion, literally. They do not simply materialize at the bottom of the screen, but unspool dynamically, dance across the picture, evaporate, explode, quiver and seem possessed. Not since a modern benshi version of the Mexican silent classic “The Grey Automobile” (1919) have I seen such subtitles. Benshis, of course, were the Japanese performers who stood next to the screen during silent films and explained the plot to the audience. If ever a benshi were needed in a modern movie, “Night Watch” is that film.

'Senator' Strips for Cash in Campaign Video (Updated)

Updated 3:45 p.m. |

In a YouTube video published this morning, the Represent.Us campaign to "end corruption" and "get America back" portrays a fictional senator stripping down to his Old Glory underpants and allowing a pack of lobbyists to jam dollar bills just about everywhere, right up to where the sun don't shine.

That's a flag we don't need waved. As our pals at sister blog Political MoneyLine wrote, "Members of Congress will not like it. Most viewers will not like it. But that may be the point they are trying to make about soliciting campaign funds."

Randy Hackett, the ad man behind the video, produced it pro bono, Represent.Us Director Josh Silver said. "He cares so much about the issue."

For his part, Hackett said he wanted to make sure the video would get people's attention.

"Did it turn you on?" he asked HOH. "It's not supposed to," he added — but only after we conceded that yes, it did, just a little. "It's supposed to repulse people," he said.

Peak Kwinarian, the actor who plays the salacious senator in the video, said he was taken aback by the pseudo-patriotic drawers the creators asked him to wear for his role.

"When I originally saw them, I did have a moment there," he said. "[But] it's not the actual flag. ... I wasn't desecrating the flag."

Kwinarian said this was his first foray into exotic dancing, though he said he did once wear high heels and play a woman in a musical called "Zombies From the Beyond."

"It was a campy piece," he clarified.

The video is only the most recent move in the campaign to get a draft of legislation known as the American Anti-Corruption Act a vote in Congress. Former Federal Election Commission Chairman Trevor Potter drafted the act. Its website says the measure would transform how elections are financed, how lobbyists influence politics and how political money is disclosed.

NRSC Spending Up as End Draws Near

The National Republican Senatorial Committee on Wednesday made its first independent expenditure foray into Nevada and Wisconsin, waiting until less than five weeks before Election Day to expand its advertising footprint as part of a strategy that helps ensure it has enough cash reserves to bolster underfunded candidates.

The NRSC, which would not comment on its ad strategy, had been noticeably absent from the front lines of the ad wars being waged in several Senate battlegrounds across the country, partly because friendly outside organizations have been spending significant dollars in races, allowing the committee to take a wait-and-see approach. While there is no coordination, spending from groups such as American Crossroads, Crossroads GPS and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce allowed the committee greater flexibility.

"We have every confidence that with the combined efforts of the NRSC, our candidates and our friends on the outside, every Republican candidate in every competitive race will have the resources they need to get their message out to voters," NRSC spokesman Brian Walsh said.

Candidates who might be in particular need of financial assistance from the NRSC down the stretch include former Govs. George Allen and Tommy Thompson, the Republican nominees in Virginia and Wisconsin, respectively.

Until Wednesday, the committee had spent about $5.3 million in IEs, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission. That's less than half the IE total of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which is playing more offense than expected at this stage of the cycle. But the NRSC and GOP outside groups have combined to keep a heavy presence on the airwaves across the playing field.

Through Wednesday, the DSCC had reported spending about $11 million in 10 states. That doesn't count the ad buys the committee recently announced but had not yet reported to the FEC: $526,000 in Arizona and $410,000 in Maine, both open-seat pickup opportunities not on the landscape at the outset of the cycle.

The DSCC has also benefited from the presence of Democratic-aligned groups such as Majority PAC and its affiliate, Patriot Majority USA, which have spent heavily in tossup states and have helped push marginally competitive states, such as Indiana, into the dead center of the fight for the Senate.

Democratic strategists said the collective efforts of the DSCC, Democratic outside groups and well-funded Democratic candidates have kept the party's spending competitive with the GOP. Candidates get better rates on TV time purchases, which is why both committees have also used coordinated ads and transferred money directly to the candidates and state parties.

The NRSC had spent a majority of its IE money in Montana and North Dakota, two offensive opportunities in Republican-leaning states. But they've also spent almost $2 million in Indiana and Maine, which Republicans did not expect they'd need to defend at the beginning of the year.

Maine has been a focal point of the Senate landscape since Sen. Olympia Snowe's (R) surprise retirement announcement in February altered the outlook of that state, kicking off the most unique race of the cycle.

The drama revolves around former Gov. Angus King (I), who is favored to win and is expected to caucus with Democrats. National Democrats have not endorsed their own nominee, state Sen. Cynthia Dill, who has little chance of victory. National Republicans want Dill to take a greater share of the vote to help their nominee, Maine Secretary of State Charlie Summers, catch King. Both national parties have begun spending there, with the DSCC announcing its buy on Friday following an earlier move by the NRSC.

Indiana has roared onto the scene in recent weeks, though the potential for an upset became more of a possibility when Sen. Dick Lugar lost the GOP primary in May to state Treasurer Richard Mourdock, who now faces Rep. Joe Donnelly (D). The DSCC has spent $980,000 there and the NRSC has spent $713,000. Mourdock will be getting even more backing soon from the Club for Growth, which announced on Monday $500,000 in broadcast and cable TV ad buys in both Indiana and Arizona.

The NRSC's first two IEs of the cycle were filed Aug. 31. They were earmarked for ads in support of North Dakota Rep. Rick Berg (R), who is running for his state's open seat against former state Attorney General Heidi Heitkamp (D), and in opposition to Sen. Jon Tester (D), who is being challenged by Rep. Denny Rehberg (R).

North Dakota and Montana are two of the three states, along with Nebraska - which the GOP is currently favored to win - that Republicans must pick up to take the Senate majority. The Senate would be split 50-50 if they're successful in all three, and control would be decided by the outcome of states such as Massachusetts, Nevada, Virginia, Wisconsin and Connecticut.

The DSCC has already dropped $1.2 million in the Nutmeg State, and more is expected to help offset the spending advantage former WWE CEO Linda McMahon (R) has over Rep. Christopher Murphy (D). McMahon has deep pockets and has invested a lot of her own money.

The DSCC has also spent $1.3 million in Nevada, $1.5 million in Wisconsin and close to $1 million in Virginia, where it has plenty more reserved.

The NRSC hasn't spent anything in the Old Dominion yet but has about $5.5 million reserved. American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS, however, have already combined to spend almost $4 million in independent expenditures, which is just a fraction of the overall spending in the state against former Gov. Tim Kaine (D). The one-time Democratic National Committee chairman increased his TV time purchase to $7.5 million and has taken a lead over Allen in recent polls.

Nevada remains a close race between appointed Sen. Dean Heller (R) and Rep. Shelley Berkley (D), who joined first lady Michelle Obama for a rally in Reno on Wednesday.

The committees have stayed off the airwaves in Massachusetts, where Sen. Scott Brown (R) made a pact with Harvard Law School professor Elizabeth Warren (D) to keep outside money out of the race.

"Not very many days left in this election and a lot of work to do," DSCC Chairwoman Patty Murray (Wash.) told reporters Tuesday.

Graham: Egyptian Election Timeline May Be Too Rushed

Updated: 12:31 p.m.

Sen. Lindsey Graham expressed concern Sunday about upcoming elections in Egypt, saying the Muslim Brotherhood may have an unfair advantage if voting happens too soon.

The South Carolina Republican’s comments came after President Hosni Mubarak stepped down Friday and the Egyptian military suspended the constitution Sunday, announcing that a transitional government will rule for six months. That may not be enough time for political parties to form after Mubarak’s 30-year rule, Graham said from Greenville, S.C.,  on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“There really is no independent judiciary, there are no independent parties,” the member of the Senate Armed Services Committee said. “I worry that we will rush to an election ... [and] the Muslim Brotherhood will have a disproportionate effect.”

Sen. John McCain, the ranking member of the Armed Services Committee, struck a more optimistic tone on CBS’ “Face the Nation” but also urged caution going forward.
“This revolution is a direct repudiation of al-Qaida, which believes that the only way you bring about change is through violence,” the Arizona Republican said. “We need to get a transition government that really understands that elections are not the answer. ... It is the apparatus, it is the modality, it is the education of voters. It is all of the things that go to a free and fair election.”

Graham also criticized Director of National Intelligence James Clapper for saying last week that the Muslim Brotherhood is largely secular. Clapper’s office clarified to ABC News last week that the Muslim Brotherhood has made efforts to work within a largely secular political system under Mubarak, but the organization itself is not secular.

“I worry about our own intelligence services understanding what the heck is going on,” Graham said, adding, “We know what the people are against in Egypt. We don’t yet know what they’re for.”

Speaker John Boehner told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday that the United States needs to assess why the events in Egypt took the intelligence community by surprise. Still, the Ohio Republican would not say he was disappointed by the nation’s intelligence. He also said he thought that Obama handled the “very difficult situation” of the political unrest in Egypt “about as well as it could be handled.”

Graham urged Egyptian protesters to move slowly. As protests spread across the Middle East, he also affirmed the United States’ commitments to Israel and democracy in the region.

“At the end of the day, people in Jordan and Saudi Arabia need to get the message from Tunisia and Egypt, that you have to give your people more say and a voice in society,” he said.

McCain said “these winds of change” also carry warnings for the leaders of Russia and China.
“I would be a little less secure if I was President Hu [Jintao] deciding the fate of 1.3 billion people,” he said of China’s leader. “I don’t think this is confined to the Middle East, just as we believe human rights are universal.”
As for America’s role, McCain said Egyptians “want us to assist, they don’t want us to dictate.”

Congress Unlikely to Intervene in 'Stand Down' Controversy

The union representing Capitol Police officers is rejecting an internal review of the department’s response to questions about September’s Navy Yard shooting as biased and inaccurate, but the Capitol Police Board is standing by its findings and Congress is unlikely to intervene at this point.

Labor Committee Chairman James Konczos, claiming the Capitol Police have a “culture of refusing to get involved in assisting the Washington, D.C., community,” is asking Congress to investigate why a highly trained team of four officers responding to the mass shooting on Sept. 16 was called back to protect the Capitol.

But House Republicans charged with oversight of the Capitol Police forces say they have no reason to question the work of a review team led by Assistant Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Michael Stenger that spent weeks interviewing dozens of personnel and others, reviewing written reports, radio transmissions and command center logs.

Stenger’s fact review team was established by the Capitol Police Board — Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Terrance Gainer, House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving, Architect of the Capitol Stephen T. Ayers and Capitol Police Chief Kim Dine — at Dine’s request, in response to questions raised about the department’s response.

House Administration Chairwoman Candice S. Miller called the findings of the report “exhaustive” and “thorough,” and she praised the professionalism of the Containment and Emergency Response Team.

“You’ve got all of this traffic as far as what was on the radios and everything, so that it was very clear exactly how everything went,” the Michigan Republican told CQ Roll Call. “I don’t have any reason to question the investigation.“

In its two-page statement on the findings, the Capitol Police Board says the four-person CERT unit self-deployed to 11th and M streets Southeast and was then directed to head to the Navy Yard incident command post, but “traffic gridlock” prevented it from getting there.

The union disputes that claim, saying that the CERT officers arrived at the incident command post within minutes of the first call for assistance but relocated to ensure other first responders could reach the incident while they awaited further instructions from the Capitol Police.

The unit was recalled to the Capitol more than 30 minutes after reports of the attack.

“The facts are clear that the CERT was initially directed to the incident command post, and the facts are clear that they did not make it to the incident command post,” Irving said. “We also have radio transmissions from a Capitol Police unit at the command post that reflected they would be unable to make it due to heavy traffic congestion”

Konczos relies on initial reports from officers in the vicinity of Navy Yard, and reported by the BBC.

He also doubts the board’s ability to produce an unbiased report, since its members were responsible for high-level security decisions that day, including the decision to put parts of the Capitol on lockdown.

Gainer said Konczos has neither the facts nor the investigative experience to question the review and that the union chairman did not respond to “attempts by the chief of police to be briefed in depth on the review and its findings.”

The House Administration Committee has not announced plans to investigate police actions, but Konczos told CQ Roll Call he is “still working on that.”

Miller said she keeps in touch with the union but has not talked to it on this particular issue. She said she is certain to talk about the board’s report during an upcoming meeting with Dine.

“I keep a very open door and line of communication, whether it’s management or labor,” she said. “Each side has something to say certainly, and I want to hear it all.”

Rep. Robert A. Brady, D-Pa., ranking member on the House Administration Committee, did not have a comment for this story.

After reviewing the details of the board’s report, fellow House Administration Committee member Gregg Harper, R-Miss., found the investigation to be thorough.

“I’m satisfied that they did a really valid attempt to get to the bottom in the facts and the timeline,” he said.

Elmendorf Tells Super Committee to Spend Money Now

Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Elmendorf recommended Tuesday that the 12-member Joint Committee on Deficit Reduction focus on maximizing economic growth by increasing government spending or cutting taxes “in the near-term.”

Elmendorf said deficit cutting plans to decrease spending or raise taxes should be phased in over the “long term” — a balance that could be difficult to achieve for the panel now tasked with finding nearly $2 trillion in savings over the next 10 years.

Elmendorf’s take on the economy came one day after President Barack Obama sent his jobs bill to Congress. The White House bill leans heavily on the super committee to find many of the off-sets for the $447 billion package.

The CBO director’s testimony at the panel’s first hearing today also contrasted starkly with the idea, championed by Congressional Republicans over the summer, that additional spending is detrimental to economic growth as it increases the already-burgeoning federal deficit.

“According to the CBO’s analysis, credible policy changes that would substantially reduce deficits late in the coming decade and over the long term — without immediate cuts in spending or increases in taxes — would support the economic expansion in the next few years and strengthen the economy over the longer term,” Elmendorf told the panel in his opening remarks. “There is no inherent contradiction between using fiscal policy to support the economy today, while the unemployment rate is high ... and imposing fiscal restraint several years from now, when output and employment will probably be close to their potential.”

In the super committee’s second public session in five days, and with just more than 70 days to present Obama with a final package, lawmakers continued to take their stands on how to best tackle their now even more difficult task, while also pressing Elmendorf on his views on the current economic landscape. The conversation in the large hearing room in the Hart Senate Office building underscored what will likely become one of the larger battles of the fall: how can Obama and the Democrats press for more spending and stimulative measures when the group tasked with finding the money to pay for those plans was created under the framework that growing deficits are hurting the economy?

It could prove difficult for the bipartisan group to take Elmendorf’s advice to increase the deficit in the short term while shrinking it over time, especially as Democrats fight to protect entitlement spending and Republicans continue their resolve against tax increases.

“It’s more than just a spending problem, narrowly defined ... many tax expenditures are a form of spending in disguise,” said Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), just moments after Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), sitting directly to his right on the dais said, “Clearly, entitlement spending is driving these long-term deficits to impossible levels.”

Elmendorf laid out three choices policymakers must “confront” regarding sustainable budget policies, noting that the only way for the government to rein in its deficits “would be for the United States to deviate from the policies of the past 40 years” by either raising federal revenues “significantly above” their average share of GDP, making “major changes” to entitlement benefits or “substantially reduc[ing]” the role of the rest of the federal government “relative to the size of the economy.”

There was a cordial air and an expressed desire by lawmakers in the committee room to find solutions to their now multi-trillion dollar problem, while outside the committee room, Republicans attacked Obama’s jobs package.

Obama’s proposal includes significant payroll tax cuts to both employees and employers, $50 billion in education spending, with $30 billion block-granted to states for “teacher stabilization,” $50 billion in transportation projects and a national infrastructure bank. The president has challenged Congress multiple times, beginning with a speech to a joint session of Congress last week, to pass the measure immediately.

But Republicans do not see the value in some of his offerings and aren’t rushing to approve them, especially if many of the pay-for details will be left to lawmakers not bound to present a plan until Thanksgiving.

“The president can call this bill whatever he wants. But in reality, all he’s really doing is just proposing a hodgepodge of retread ideas aimed at convincing people that a temporary fix is really permanent and that it will create permanent jobs. And then daring Republicans to vote against it,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on the floor Tuesday. “If the president is truly interested in growing the economy and putting Americans back to work, then he’ll leave the temporary proposals and the half-measures — and the tax hikes — aside.”

Fall Movie Preview 2013

All isn't lost. It's fall, when undumb movies push through the din of summer idiocy, when excitement is human instead of digital, when topping the Oscar list is (almost) as important as topping the box office. Don't get me wrong. The greed thing doesn't disappear between Labor Day and New Year's Eve. That's why sequels to The Hunger Games, Anchorman, Thor and The Hobbit are on the fall table. But fall is the season when Hollywood itches for a little respect. And the filmmakers at work – Martin Scorsese, David O. Russell, the Coen brothers, Alfonso Cuarón, Alexander Payne, Paul Greengrass, Steve McQueen, Spike Jonze – are top-tier. It's been quality famine so far in 2013. Fruitvale Station, Before Midnight, Blue Jasmine, Mud – and then what? You can barely fill a tweet. The movies on this list want to drop-kick a drag-ass year to glory. Game on.

Elvis Presley: Elvis Is Back! (Legacy Edition)

Click to listen to "It Feels So Right" and "Surrender"

Recorded when Presley was 25, fresh off a two-year military stint and musically fit to burst, Elvis Is Back! might be the King's greatest noncompilation LP: wildly varied material, revelatory singing, impeccable stereo sound. This reissue includes other period singles (check out the crazily operatic 1961 hit "Surrender") and the entire follow-up album, Something for Everybody. Yes, it's the beginning of schmaltzy Elvis; see the spoken-word bathos of "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" Yet even there, the hook melodrama is dazzling. And when he rocks the hard-on blues "It Feels So Right," dude sounds like he could convert a nunnery.

Ron Paul in Las Vegas

Date: 05/17/2011

Carl Bunce: Tonight, we have a special guest, we invited this gentleman, he wasn’t running for president yet, so his GPA kind of went up on us over the last couple of weeks, he actually announced he was running for president last Friday and this is one of his first stops since announcing in New Hampshire… so I’m going to keep this very short, I like to introduce Dr, Congressman and Presidential candidate, Ron Paul.

Ron Paul: Thank you. Looks to me like the revolution is alive and well, don’t you think so? And growing too, wonderful, well before I make a few comments I do want to introduce you, if you haven’t met her before but my wife is with me tonight, Carol. Well I’m delighted to be here, I understand there have been a few changes in the party out here and I’m happy to hear about that, growing and more enthusiasm and more attuned to the principles of liberty and that goal that we’re fighting for and believe me, this is a very important state, we’re here early in the campaign because we’re going to keep coming and we’ll be back again and we want to make sure that this state leads the way and shows the rest of the country what liberty is all about.

And I wish that I could come and tell you there is good news, we did get a few new members in Congress and things are better but I’ll tell you what, the conditions aren’t much better in Washington, the conditions are much better out here, outside of Washington, the enthusiasm is growing, the understanding is growing, the knowledge about what brought us to this mess and what we need to do, that’s where I’m optimistic. I’m especially happy when I get to visit the college campuses cause the next generation knows what a bum wrap they’re getting and what they’re going to have to do so…

But in Washington, it’s the same old stuff and I’m pretty tired of it and I know you are and I think what we should do is change it all and change our whole concept of it. Of course all of you here are involved in political action and that’s very important, but political action should only be a consequence of a philosophic position. The philosophic position and the understanding about where and how we got into this mess is pretty clear, the political changes are just in the transition and that’s why it’s so difficult. But we as a country have lived with bad economic policy for a long time and I think one of the most tell telling statements ever made by a president, at least in economic terms was when I heard Nixon get on the radio one night back in 1971 and he announced and guaranteed that we’re all Keynesians now.

I want to wait for the day, I’m anxiously waiting for the day when we can say we’re all Austrian Economists and we believe in the free market. Which is not difficult to describe if you’re for the free market and individual liberty, you believe in individual rights, you believe in property rights, you believe in contracts, you believe in not stealing, that means the government can’t steal either. But there is another important element to the free society and constitutional system and that is you don’t have a central bank and you don’t have a Federal Reserve System. We didn’t quite get the full audit of the Fed last year, we passed it in the House, due to a lot of work all of you have done but it was watered down the Senate and it came out greatly watered down, but we did get some information out of the Fed from last year’s bill.

But also we’ve gotten more information because of the two law suits by Fox Business as well as Bloomberg which they filed suit under the freedom of information act. So these are all things moving in the direction that actually I have been pretty surprised and pleased and that we’ve gotten this far. Because in the past courts have always ruled in favor of the Central Bank. If you think back in history about the civil war period and during the depression and actually in 1971 the courts always ruled in favor of the government’s paper money system. But this time I sort of was pessimistic that they would not rule in favor of the people in saying the Fed had to turn over some of this material that they have and I’ll tell you what? I think it’s the first time in its 100 year history of the Federal Reserve that they’re on the defensive right now.

I actually take a little bit of a pride in the fact that now the Federal Reserve board chairman has to hold press conferences and they hired a lobbyist to go around and represent their position to Congress cause they know that you have awakened and your knowledge about the Federal Reserve has never happened before, the Fed has gotten off with just anything they want, they always got the credit for the good times, even though those were artificially boom times and then they always got credit for getting us out of the bad times. Right now the evidence is very clear that they created the problems by creating an artificial boom and now they’re going to get blame rightfully so for the problems that we’re facing today.

That doesn’t mean that the people of this country and the Congress doesn’t have a lot of responsibility because they do, we all have the responsibility because we’ve been negligent, we’ve ignored the Federal Reserve and Congress is still a participant in these problems. The Congress, they tend to spend too much money, have you noticed that? And I frequently will call the Federal Reserve a facilitator because the Federal Reserve is related to the deficit because members of Congress for too long have gotten away with saying, “well what will I have to get reelected?” And the people say “just vote for my special privileges and my subsidies” and members of Congress kept getting reelected until this last go round a little bit different.

If you were playing the Pork Barrel program all the time, it didn’t necessary help you, so these conditions are changing and this is very good. The Federal Reserve has been around for nearly a hundred years, but right now we’re getting more information and people say “well are we going in the fed, can you get your bill passed, is that’s going to happen?” The bill and getting the consensus from the Congress to repeal the Federal Reserve act, it’s not likely. But tell you what, just getting the information out and with the knowledge about what they’re doing and what the consequence will be, they’re going to self destruct, that’s what’s going to happen, they’ll become irrelevant.

Since the Federal Reserve represents a moral hazard that is that Congress does things and with the expectation that the Federal Reserve will react in a certain way, so the Congress runs up deficits, whether it’s for the welfare entitlement system or for the militarism around the world, the debt is there and the Fed is then able to monetize it just perpetuating the problems. The whole problem with doing something decent to get us out of this financial mess, is that we’re doing exactly the same things that got us into the mess and it doesn’t work that way. We were spending too much money in Washington, there were too many taxes, too many regulations, too much borrowing and too much printing press money. So what did they do? We have the predictable collapse of the bubble, so what does Congress and the Federal Reserve do? They just do more of the same thing and they think they’re going to get different results and all they’re doing prolonging the agony.

The criminal aspect of this is that the people who deserve to go bankrupt didn’t go bankrupt and the people who didn’t deserve to go bankrupt, they lost their jobs and their houses and oversight and the big guys got bailed out. Since the Federal Reserve encourages deficit spending and irresponsibility of the Congress, what do we end up? We end up with the economic financial entitlement system which is absolutely out of control and there seems to be no way we can turn the switch off and turn it on. So I expect it’s going to continue to get worse until they ruin the money. But the other thing that they have done and they do this notoriously, all nations seem to have done this throughout history that wars are almost always paid for by debasing the currency, if they weren’t allowed and would not debase the currency, we would be prohibited from getting ourselves involved in so many of these no win nonsensical wars that we ought to stop and bring our troops all home.

And this view is growing in popularity, there’s a few years ago that it wasn’t nearly as popular where the debate was just recently down in South Carolina, I would make a few statements this way and I don’t know if anybody remembers but they actually booed me for some of that stuff. Can you believe that? And now this year they’re making the same statements over and over again, I can’t seem to get a new [speak] because my speech is always the same I don’t know why you don’t get tired of it, but my speech is the same. But the people are responding differently, I always figured, I really didn’t expect to go to Washington, I really didn’t and I ended up going there, I wanted to get a few things off my chest, so I ended up going I get elected, I decided I didn’t want to make a career of, I went back home and practiced medicine for 12 years.

So I didn’t expect that much to happen, but even after the last election or during the election, I was surprised at the reception, to me it was just fantastic that people were looking and talking and thinking along these lines that maybe the constitution is important after all. So the last campaign was a pleasant surprise for me because of the interest and then what I thought would happen would be that I would serve in Congress and I would do my very best, I would make my promises, I would take my oath of office seriously, I would vote a certain way and I would leave a record and maybe someday your kids or somebody would read about it and say “I think he probably voted the right way back in those days.” But something happened on my way to retirement and people noticed and to my delight and to the excitement of what’s been happening on the interest, people have become [façade]. But after the last election, the campaign in 2008 I thought once again I often said I was that totally unknown Congressman Doctor from Texas and where did he come from?

And I thought well this is what will happen, I’ll go back to being this totally unknown doctor from Texas in Congress and wait for the time that I should do something better. But all of a sudden then there was an explosion of interest on all the networks, wanting to talk about economic policy, they’re starving for the answers and free market economists, see I don’t claim I have the answers as much as I have latched on to the correct philosophy of free market economics which we talk about but we don’t fully understand and that’s what people are looking for because they know now that Keynesian economics with the Federal Reserve system has failed and we have to find something different.

Now although, I’m rather optimistic about the enthusiasm about the change in ideas on the college campuses around the country, things are still up for grabs, you can just look at what’s happening in Washington today, the big fight over the debt increase, big fight going on there and how is it going to be raised and what are we going to do about it and for every one of us who understand the seriousness of the problem and how badly we want to quit the spending and balance the budget and get our freedoms back again and bring our troops home, there are those others who think that we’re being unpatriotic and that we should fight all these battles and that we can’t put anybody out on the street and they give all this ideas that government can take care of us from cradle to grave.

So the contest is going on, even in monetary policy is a major contest because think, everybody knows there’s something wrong, I think a lot of people that like internationalism, they know it too and they’re laying their plans just as we’re laying our plans, they’re doing theirs in secret but the secrets are coming out and they want to replace the dollar standard which will have to be replaced, it’s not going to last, they want to replace it with an international standard under the United Nations and the IMF and we don’t need it. So therefore the contest will be between national sovereignty of this country and a sensible banking system and the monetary system and we don’t have to invent it, all we have to do we can improve on it but all we have to do is look to the constitution because I believe there is… a phrase in there something about only gold and silver being legal tender and it also says you can’t emit bills or credit, that is you can’t print paper money.

But this is to me the most astounding thing that there’s grown up people that went through college and they have big degrees and they have these high ranking positions in government, they actually believe that stuff, that you could just print money and you get wealthier. Most kids can figure it out when they play Monopoly is not real money, but if we don’t wake up and change things and America just succumbs and is no longer a great country or bastion of liberty, I think the history of this country will be written and they’ll say, “What were those people thinking about? How [unfunder] that grown up people say that well you can spend as much as you want, borrow to the hill, print the money, regulate and try to correct the problems, and if you need more money just print it, and then they wonder why it collapsed?” They will say “we didn’t take any hints” they would look at the history of, what happened to the Soviet system, they were going to take over the world.

The soviet system collapsed because they had this weird foreign policy of reaching out and occupying territories and thinking that they could conquer Afghanistan. And then they would look and say, “what did we do as a people, oh yes we didn’t learn a lesson, the British couldn’t do it, the Russian couldn’t do it, but the Americans can do it, we know how to occupy Afghanistan, we know how to it?” I tell you what, I really believe in the principle of spreading our goodness, but to tell you what, I do not believe our goodness is occupation by militarism and doing it with the use of force. Of course, if we understand that the goodness of America is defending liberty, something we started off with and it creates great prosperity which we did have and then we essentially lost it and now we’re still living on borrowed money.

So if you look at the principles of liberty, the importance of liberty and where our liberties come from in a natural God given way that property rights are important, the contracts are right important, sound money is important, that friendship with other nations in trade is good for all of us. These are good things, why can’t we set an example for the world and say “why and how did the Americans do it?” Then they might want to come and study and emulate us, de Tocqueville came and thought we were a great nation in the 19th century because he looked and he saw us as a spiritual nation and we’d befriended liberty and we weren’t on the welfare state in all of these things. But today we have drifted so far from that but we know what the answers are, we know how we got here and what it takes is going to be determination and that is why I’m delighted to see you here tonight because you have, you either have been or you’re getting involved and elections are important, some people find politics distasteful, some days I find it distasteful too.

But there are some very good people who say “I don’t like to deal in politics, but I’m interested” they spend their time in education, that’s fine and dandy, but ultimately if the philosophy is correct, you have to have some political action, the founders of the country were very astute and very well educated and knew enough to write a very good if not the greatest document between the people and the government. So they did this, that was called political action that they took and so we actually have more opportunity now and I believe that under the current system, we have to do exactly what you’re doing because it’s still available to us, we don’t know how long it will last, every single day I read another story about the encroachment of the federal and state governments on our personal liberties and I get sick and tired of it on what they’re doing.

And if you disagree with me on that why don’t you take a flight on an airplane, you might find out what it’s like. A year ago or so when they changed the rules when the groping and the nude x-ray started and all that, was rather annoying, so I introduced legislation, it wasn’t complex, it said that, and I got this idea from Bastiat, but I said that, “if you can’t do what the TS agents are doing and you’d be arrested, therefore the government agent should have the same penalty as you would if you did it.” And just this week the Texas house and other states are doing I hope you’ve thought about it here it to pass laws that are state laws insisting the state laws under those circumstance can supersede the federal laws. Bastiat actually in the law talked more about the economic interventions and all and his simple premise was that the law cannot do and the government can’t do what you can’t do.

So if you can’t steal from your neighbor, why in the world do you think you should send a member of Congress to steal from the neighbor and bring the goods to you, it’s not complex. It’s a basic moral principle, now I often wondered why we had for so many years been losing this battle, but I think we’re getting the steam right now, I think we lost in one way because we became so prosperous, we became concentrated only on the material abundance we had and we didn’t care about how it came about to the point where we live beyond our means and we could borrow, borrowing is still available to us, we still borrow money. So we live way beyond our means, we depend on inflated money and then we didn’t care about our liberties. So if we continue to do that and not look at the basics, there’s no way this continue because our productive capacity has been so destroyed, it’s so ironic and so discouraging to think that capitalist in this country, people who have to make a living and make profits, find it easier to start a business in China than it is in this country.

And they have $3 trillion in the bank, over a third of it is our money and they’re in charge, we go around the world borrowing money and fighting these wars and getting ourselves into trouble, bankrupt in our country and China is out there doing these capitalistic things of investing in oil and drilling all around the world like this. So it’s time we reasserted ourselves and say we can’t do it that way, why don’t we become true believers in the free market and save a little bit and invest and do the things that we should do to make the country wealthy. The philosophy of liberty is, from my personal viewpoint is such a wonderful philosophy but unfortunately we have come up short in that the argument against us we seem to have lost the argument but I think we have the chance to regain it.

And the argument is, we don’t care about people, you just throw everybody out on the street and there’s no safety net, yeah but they don’t have any wealth, they don’t have any more, all they give is debt and they think they’re the solutions? So yes to continue to spend and take care of people and print the money, well what’s going to happen when the money doesn’t buy anything? And we’re moving into an age of inflation right now and that’s going to happen, but if we’re looking for a system that is moral and humanitarian, there’s only one system and that is freedom, it cannot be socialism. Those individuals who pose as believe in perfect equality, they don’t care about some people doing better than others, so they give up everything to say everybody will be equally poor unfortunately. So if we allow them to do that then we’re going to have so much trouble, but our answers should be very clear that if you care about your fellow man, you want production, you want people to have jobs, you want people to have the satisfaction of taking care of themselves and unfortunately though, people are pretty discouraged right now and both the people who learn to live off the government plus those who are desperate to get a job and get work and go back again.

And it isn’t because they’re not willing to work, it’s because the government has messed things up so badly and they continue to do this and there are answers for it. There are answers to show that more people are taken care of, if we’re free and prosperous you say “well there’s still going to be the poor,” there probably will be some poor. But they’ll be a lot less poor and we’re going to have a lot more money to help our family and friends and our neighbors and our church. So in many ways what we need is a better understanding and more confidence in ourselves, we need to understand the idea of tolerance because in economics, in the free markets, some people will be rich. As long as they don’t get rich, by getting benefits from the government and they provide a good service for you and me and we buy things voluntarily, they ought to be allowed to get rich.

    …when a famous Bulgarian rebel against the Ottoman empire was asked what was his cause he responded: I am striving for a pure, holly republic.

    That’s a well known saying in the country, but sadly nobody really understands nowadays what he meant by that.

    Now I fully understand and endorse that statement.

    Let’s say he is real and has ‘integrity’. Just because he can complete a sentence and appeals to you, he’s still apart of the same old system that has ruined us. Even if he was sincere, you think they’d let him live? These problems aren’t going away and they are only going to get worse.

Marion County

Broadway Looking West Circa 1910

Looking west down Broadway circa 1910. This was the center of the business district at that time. Horses and buggy's are still the most common method of transportation. Roadways are yet unpaved and some sidewalks have apparently been constructed of poured concrete or another like substance. Notice the fire hydrants, so a central water supply system is in use in 1910. Auto's would not become the normal mode of transport for another 10 years. Another 10 years will also bring us paved streets.

Alumnus James R. Baumgardt Inspires Entrepreneurship & Risk Taking

June 9, 2011

Launching summer Distinguished Speakers Series at Rose-Hulman Ventures

With an inspiring talk about leadership and innovation, life sciences entrepreneur James R. Baumgardt launched the eponymous James R. Baumgardt Distinguished Speaker's series, Rose-Hulman Ventures' annual summer series for students, faculty and staff.

James R. Baumgardt

"You plan your work and you work your plan.  And, you do it aggressively," Baumgardt told the group on June 8.  He also outlined three characteristics of successful people: An undeniable desire to succeed, good interpersonal skills and being a self-starter.

Baumgardt told students serving as summer interns at Rose-Hulman Ventures to be boldly confident in themselves and the education they're receiving at Rose-Hulman as they step into their futures.

"Don't hesitate to take risks," he said.  "Don't hesitate to think you're good.  If you get out of this place, you are (good)."

Baumgardt also accentuated Rose-Hulman Ventures' role in new product development, especially in the area of medical devices.

"In the area of development, Rose-Hulman Ventures is a key player in the Research-and-Development cycle.  You're the 'D' in R&D," he stated.  "More companies and enterprises are coming to Rose-Hulman Ventures for the new product development expertise that you possess."

Renaming of Rose-Hulmann Ventures' Summer Speaker Series for Baumgardt recognizes the career accomplishments of the 1970 chemical engineering alumnus.  He is the chairman of the board for the NICO Corporation, is director of Neochord Inc. and is a partner of Twilight Ventures, an Indiana-based life science venture capital enterprise.  He is the former executive director of business development at Eli Lilly and Company, served as president of the Guidant Foundation, was president of Guidant Sales Corporation, is the former director of Laserscope and helped co-found Suros Surgical Systems.

Baumgardt is also an emeritus member of the Rose-Hulman Board of Trustees and former chairman of the trustees' Rose-Hulman Ventures Affairs Committee.  He received an honorary doctorate in engineering from Rose-Hulman in 2010, and serves on the advisory boards of Butler University's School of Business and Purdue University's School of Biomedical Engineering.

        Baumgardt w students

Learning Lunch: Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology students serving as summer interns at Rose-Hulman Ventures had the opportunity to exchange ideas and get career advice from James R. Baumgardt, who has had many entrepreneurial success stories in the life science field.

"We're honored to have Jim Baumgardt share his insights and experiences with our student interns at Rose-Hulman Ventures," stated Richard Stamper, interim associate dean of professional experiences and professor of mechanical engineering. "Jim has demonstrated the ability to create technology driven businesses in the medical devices industry that improve the care that patients receive.  He has much to teach anyone that wants to be innovative and create value in technology based companies.  We're lucky that he is willing to share that with our students.

Other speakers in this summer's series will feature Claudia Fritsche, ambassador of Liechtenstein to the United States, on June 22, and Wes Bolsen, chief marketing officer and vice president of government affairs for Coskata Inc., a biology-based energy company, on July 13.

Fritsche has been Liechtenstein's ambassador since 2000 and also serves as the countries ambassador to the United Nations, a post she has had since 1990.  She began her public career as the personal secretary of Liechtenstein's prime minister, from 1970-78, and entered the diplomatic service in the Office of Foreign Affairs.

Bolsen, a 2000 electrical engineering alumnus, was voted 57th on Biofuels Digest's "Top 100 People in Bioenergy" and was recently named top Chief Marketing Officer of companies with less than $250 million in revenue in the U.S.  Coskata uses proprietary microorganisms and patented bioreactor designs to produce FlexEthanol, on feedstock flexible ethanol, to fuel energy security, economic growth and environmental sustainability.

Rose-Hulman Ventures, located at Rose-Hulman's South Campus, takes educational hands-on projects to a whole new dimension.  It is a unique operational model for university/industry interaction.

Dustin Penner has offers on the table and he's taking some time to make a decision.
Training camps are about two weeks away from happening, so we probably won't have to wait long to see where he ends up. According to his agent, Penner has offers from Europe and the NHL. Thu, Sep 4, 2014 04:08:00 PM

Despite rumors, it doesn't appear as though Dustin Penner will be attending Philadelphia's training camp on a tryout basis.

Penner is an unrestricted free agent after spending the 2014-15 campaign with Anaheim and Washington. He generated 14 goals and 35 points in 67 contests.
Wed, Aug 27, 2014 04:02:00 PM

Winkler, Manitoba product Dustin Penner may be an option for the Winnipeg Jets.

It's believed the Jets would like bring in a top-nine forward to replace fellow free agent Devin Setoguchi, who struggled mightily during his only season in Winnipeg. Penner is still on the market after posting 14 goals and 21 assists in 67 games between Anaheim and Washington.
Wed, Aug 6, 2014 09:25:00 AM

Dustin Penner (upper body) returned to action on Tuesday April 8.

Penner missed Saturday's game due to the ailment. He had two blocked shots in just 8:58 minutes of playing time.
Wed, Apr 9, 2014 02:42:00 AM

Dustin Penner is dealing with an upper-body injury.

Penner is out Saturday as a result. He's listed as day-to-day, but given that there's just a week left before the regular season's over, it's entirely possible that he won't return in 2013-14.
Sat, Apr 5, 2014 04:35:00 PM

Dustin Penner was shocked by the Anaheim Ducks decision to trade him to the Washington Capitals.

Penner was told that he was traded to free up cap room. This was Penner's second stint with the Anaheim Ducks and he had spent time serving on the team's top line. "Especially considering the position we were in as a team," Penner said. "I think it's an eye-opener for a lot of guys in that locker room. And for fans, too, because they always … in some cases they gripe about loyalty (from) players. For players it's often not reciprocated."
Tue, Mar 18, 2014 09:41:00 AM

Dustin Penner picked up his first point with the Washington Capitals on Sunday.

He earned an assist on Joel Ward's power-play goal in the first period of the Capitals' 4-2 win over Toronto. Pennner didn't have a point in his previous six games following his acquisition from Anaheim and he logged just 10:56 of ice time against the Leafs.
Mon, Mar 17, 2014 10:39:00 AM

Dustin Penner was bumped to the fourth line at Saturday's practice.

In six games with the Capitals, he hasn't earned a point and has a minus-1 rating with nine shots. Penner may need more time to adjust to his new team, but points are valuable this time of the year in fantasy hockey so it might be safe to drop him if you haven't already done so.
Sat, Mar 15, 2014 02:26:00 PM

The Washington Capitals sent a fourth round pick to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for Dustin Penner.

It's surprising that Anaheim would give up Penner for nothing more than a fourth rounder given that he's been decent this season and the Ducks are gearing up for a playoff run. That being said, this might be a small part of Anaheim's larger plans. We're likely to see a lot more trades before the deadline.
Tue, Mar 4, 2014 02:08:00 PM

The Washington Capitals have acquired Dustin Penner.

We're still waiting to find out what Anaheim will get in return. Penner has had a solid season with Anaheim, scoring 15 goals and 32 points in 49 games. If he ends up getting some playing time with Alex Ovechkin, either on the Capitals' top line or with the man advantage, then he should have a strong finish to the 2013-14 campaign.
Tue, Mar 4, 2014 01:57:00 PM

Dustin Penner had an assist in Anaheim's 4-2 defeat on Monday.

Penner got off to a really hot start this season, but he's slowed down considerably. He has just four goals and eight points in his last 23 games. If you picked him up in October or November, it's time to start examining your other options.
Tue, Feb 4, 2014 06:27:00 AM

Dustin Penner scored a goal in Anaheim's 4-2 loss to Minnesota Tuesday evening.

Penner now has 13 goals and 15 assists in 43 games this season. Mathieu Perreault scored the other goal for the Ducks. Ducks defenseman Luca Sbisa returned from a hand injury that forced him to miss 26 games.
Wed, Jan 29, 2014 03:40:00 AM

Dustin Penner had a goal in Anaheim's 2-1 win over Los Angeles Thursday night at Honda Center.

It was Penner's second goal in his last 13 outings and he now has 12 goals and 15 assists in 41 games this season. He had an amazing start to the season but he has been slumping lately. Patrick Maroon scored the other goal for the Ducks in the victory.
Fri, Jan 24, 2014 03:24:00 AM

Dustin Penner scored once and added an assist for the Ducks on Saturday.

It was Penner's 11th goal of the season and his first since December 15. Penner got off to an amazing start but had been slumping of late and was a healthy scratch at times in the last month. He has 26 points this season and his plus-18 rating is still good for 16th best in the NHL.
Sun, Jan 12, 2014 04:18:00 AM

Dustin Penner was back in the Anaheim lineup after being a healthy scratch Tuesday.

Penner did not go back to the top line but played alongside Teemu Selanne and Mathieu Perreault and was minus-one in 14:18 minutes but did see 5:08 minutes of power play time. He has 10 goals and 24 points with a plus-17 rating in 34 games. "Other than maybe a handful of guys, you have a chance of not playing each and every night," Penner said. "That's a slight but not to the extent of what it would be on other teams. If you're on a last-place team and you're being sat out, that would hurt exponentially more. Even when guys get sat out (here), they want to play."
