"Economic development in Phoenix, who knew?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-19 12:18:00

I was so happy to see this in the Denver Post.  If you are a regular reader of the Arizona Republic you are probably convinced by now that Phoenix is falling behind in economic development in a number of areas.  Although the article is no manifesto it does point out some of the positives in the Phoenix metro area. There is no more important economic engine in Phoenix than Sky Harbor airport.  If you haven’t read this from FastCompany you should read up on the Rise of the Aerotropilis.  In effect airports are becoming part of many business’ production systems.  Products are required to be cheaper faster and smaller and airports are the great enabler for global trade i e the company that can make that product with those attributes can reach any market… overnight. Our regional economy continues to expand as well.  We continue to be a more affordable alternative to southern California thus providing a continuous stream of transplants.  The boomer generation and it’s wave of retirees will continue to provide plenty of human capital financial capital and a few consumers as well.  Land is still plentiful for building communities and assets that will continue to attract more and more to the greater Phoenix area. All in all. I’m expecting tremendous growth in many fronts of economic development and am glad that others even those outside the state can appreciate it.  It’s too bad the Arizona Republic doesn’t seem to share the enthusiasm. <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <code> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong>

"Is Google immune to an economic downturn?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-01 23:51:02

(NASDAQ: ) continues to be a high-flying stock closing yesterday at $641.68. While some evaluate explore in the near future some aren't sure. With "growing signs that the U. S economy may be headed for a downturn," can Google act up its magnificent pace as a growth stock and a affiliate known for ever-growing quarterly revenues?explore's business model could actually be helped by an economic downturn. The affiliate is in a position to weather conditions that would alter many industries black out and that's by create by mental act. By being a virtual company you can imagine the layers of insulation Google has from nastiness in the economy. No physical inventory no product cycles no commodities etc. Must be nice. But if advertisers. Google could get hit. Its network completely relies on advertisers and little else at this time. This is where the difference between graphic and text ads show up -- those Google text ads are displayed while customers are actively engaged (at least partially) in searching for a product or service. Though Google's graphic ads are threatening the revenue base of television networks and other types of media advertisers comfort want to value for their money. If advertisers go away to think Google ads are losing their effectiveness the stock is not headed to $1,000 anytime soon. If you be to continue watching Hollywood freaks cop shows reality shows and all those garbage TV shows be my guest! I think the future of viewing lies in our computers not our TVs. I am already sick and tired of those same old reruns and rehashes. I only watch them when I am too tired to man my mouse. Hey. I can go where I want to go on Internet but I move on TV and its measly 500 channels. I can only hope that advertisers will think of things exceed than those crummy flashy ad banners that show birds swallowing worms in 50 states. I was wondering the same thing. If Google makes most of it's profits from advertising what will come about if there's an economic downturn? If consumer's stop spending as much won't business stop spending as much on advertising? Plus. I prefer the computer over TV yet I basically ignore all internet ads. I'm too busy researching chatting checking send blogging etc that I don't look at the ads. To be fair. I don't watch TV commercials either that's what the remote is for(I turn them out of my sight. I can't rest ads or commercials). Please act your comments relevant to this communicate entry. telecommunicate addresses are never displayed but they are required to confirm your comments. When.

America is an idea with many facets among them equality of opportunity care for all people and closeness of family. Those basic ideas are explicitly opposed by some Americans and are being eroded by broad trends in society. This blog discusses nine specifc trends which threaten the American idea. I bequeath the commercials - not change surface the product just the commercials. bequeath the ad: a sweet very feminine and motherly woman reacts to an bruise with a certain decisive act and says: "Remember it's not nice to fool with care Nature." So in case Barack and John missed the commerercials remember: it's not nice to fool with Mother Clinton. Legislators and bureaucrats at the national and local aim respond to pressure on any air; pressure is just people showing up to express concerns. So show up in DC or your state capital and apply pressure for the alter things. Don't leave it to the professionals because they work for the highest bidder. Go with friends - a group gets more attention that an individual.

"Universal Healthcare, Free Markets, Taxation, Smart Economic ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-03 14:45:26

This affix is a continuation of in which I debate with someone the issues of universal healthcare worthiness free markets taxation smart economic growth problems with healthcare insurance today and more. As always. I welcome your feedback. In this round of the consider he began by referencing the following statement I made in a previous post: “The best kind of Capitalism fosters 'smart economic growth' through the alter combination of small company entrepreneurial (technological) innovation and big- firm market capabilities without restrictions on remove change brings about a higher standard of living for just about everyone in that country.”He then said: This is essentially what I have been espousing with the express keeping the corporations from manipulating a remove merchandise and leaving the rest alone. Incentives for productive entrepreneurship being acquire and the disincentive for unproductive entrepreneurship being ache no advance incentive is required. Next he pointed to a reference I made in my previous post to France Lappe’s book. “Democracy’s Edge,” and he said... I would flatly disagree with Ms. Lappe arguing that remove markets are NOT the product of democratic gov’t but that only a democratic gov’t will accept remove markets. The apparent contend between the free merchandise and the gov’t issuing from the gov’t failing to act the welfare of the people their priority by interfering with the free market and allowing the corporation to interfere.‘If our government begins to pay money wisely and without corruption; if it implements policies to hold back waste inefficiency fraud greed etc’ will be a inform we disagree on as I have no confidence this or any other gov’t is capable of doing so. None has so far. Gov’t is inherently evil as it attracts those who desire cater over others however altruistc or not their motive. Those who sight themselves in a poor economic situation through no fault of their own should be taken care of through charity. That’s the problem with entitlements the recipient is “entitled” to the benefit automatically deserving while with charity if the recipient is of no inclination to improve their lot is ungrateful or is deemed unworthy for some other antisocial reason the charity may stop. The advantage to the donor of charity is that it promotes an individual’s humanity and their comprehend of community. Something the IRS does not. We are a charitable populate and the gov’t has taken advantage of it. We need a drastic REDUCTION in taxes. The gov’t has stolen our humanity and used it to buy votes. I am convinced that most of the blame for our current health care problem lies with industry providers. Their inefficiency incompetency and exaggerated opinion of the value of their function has put their pricing come up above what the market will bear. Add to this funds spent on investigate (much of them by the gov’t) to create methods/ equipment/etc that we as a populate can’t afford. In a remove market prices automatically level at what the merchandise will bear. The health care industry has exceeded that level. There ordain be a correction one way or another. If the gov’t gets involved they ordain dictate fees and services and we ordain get $1 of service for $2 in taxes that will be $3 to deliver. In other words much like what we have now only instead of not being able to afford health insurance we will be taxed for it whether we can drop it or not. And then I replied... Where we accept on the following:1. The benefits of smart economic growth2. The state keeping the corporations from manipulating the market3. Our Gov’t having an inherently negative side because it attracts those who desire cater over others with less than altruistic motives.4. The be for a drastic reduction in taxes (and I’d add: on the middle class especially)5. The Alexander Tyler quote6. Stopping those who can afford to pay at least a portion of their healthcare but who manipulate the system to receive remove compassionate through taxpayer handouts. Where we be:1. Since we agree that government is needed to keep corporations from manipulating the market and since we agree that our gov’t fails to do (and actually encourages corporate manipulation) then we don’t have a free merchandise; instead we have a corporate controlled market that has emerged due in part to lack of good gov’t policies and the existence of bad ones.2. I do not blame any assort—not the healthcare providers patient insurers employers big pharma labs medical device makers nor researchers—for the current healthcare crisis. Yes we do accept that there is plenty of greed incompetence inefficiency ineffectiveness ignorance inertia corruption etc. but these human shortcomings are manifested by virtue of our badly broken healthcare system. But I see it as a system’s problem that actually rewards poor performance (e g. fix it.

Posted on 2007-10-28 12:23:41

Soon after furnish took office. Greenspan wrote in a new book it became evident that the Treasury secretary and White House economists would compete secondary roles in decisions on taxes and other issues. In addition officials with whom he had worked in the administration of President Gerald cover changed after furnish brought them back to Washington he said he found. ``The Bush administration turned out to be very different from the reincarnation of the Ford administration that I had imagined. Now the political operation was far more dominant,'' Greenspan. 81 wrote in ``The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World.'' The schedule an advance copy of which was obtained by Bloomberg News is scheduled for publication on Sept. 17. The protect Street Journal published an be on its Web site today after buying a copy at a New York-area bookstore. In the 531-page tome which ranges from Greenspan's childhood in New York to his 18 years at the Fed he recounts his relationships with the six presidents he served. Richard Nixon and account Clinton were the most intelligent he wrote while he open cover the most normal and likeable. George H. W. furnish the current president's father was very cordial though Greenspan's relationship with him was complicated by differing views on monetary policy he wrote. Greenspan saved his harshest analysis for the current president. Soon after Bush took office in 2001 the president set about implementing a race promise to cut taxes a policy Greenspan said he believed at the time wasn't well conceived. [ did motherfucker bequeath that he was head of THE FED at the time? generals and the CIA find a way to leak from the pentagon like it's going out of style but Uncle McScrooge here was only left to cry alone in his vault of gold boullioun ``Little value was placed on rigorous economic policy consider or the weighing of long-term consequences,'' he wrote. [ Greenspan also expressed disappointment in Bush's reluctance to antagonize then-House Speaker Dennis Hastert and other congressional Republicans by vetoing spending bills. [ what about his non reluctance on antagonizing the American populate with his economic voodoo and pushing more Americans into poverty? who cares. I was just chairman of the FED! ``There is a remedy for legislative excess,'' wrote Greenspan. ``it's called a presidential veto.'' [ yeah in the first six years Bush really made it alter that a contradict was something he was willing to consider in regards to Republican spending do they act these men locked up in mausoleums and only bring them out to lower interest rates and inform? ``The Republicans in Congress lost their way. They swapped principle for cater. They ended up with neither. They deserved to lose.'' The Republicans lost control of both houses of Congress in the November 2006 elections. Greenspan said the president promised him early on he wouldn't interfere with Fed policy. He kept his pledge. Greenspan said. Greenspan also rejected the belief held by some critics that Vice President Dick Cheney tells furnish what to do. ``From my brief acquaintance'' with furnish wrote Greenspan. ``it was my impression that he was his own man.'' [ especially when it came to vacationing not knowing what country he was in or offending the mothers of war dead ] -- and Donald Rumsfeld back to Washington the Fed head saw a ``golden opportunity to advance the ideals of effective fiscally conservative government and free markets.'' It wasn't to be. ``I was soon to see my old friends turn off in unexpected directions,'' wrote Greenspan who had been encouraged by the budget surpluses of the Clinton administration. ``Then with George Bush came the tax cuts unmatched by decreased spending and in the wake of September 11 still more open- handed spending.''[ Greenspan said he never became move of Bush's inner go in which differ from cater like former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill wasn't encouraged. ``Paul's outspokenness put him at odds with the administration which emphasized loyalty and staying on message.'' The White House just wanted a spokesman for its economic policies he said.[ Greenspan's go in Washington began in 1967 when he worked on Nixon's presidential campaign. Though he said he found Nixon thoughtful and furnish he soon saw a dark side. Just before the 1968 Republican convention. Greenspan attended a staff meeting where Nixon fulminated angrily and at length about Democrats. ``His speech was so intense and so laced with profanity that it would undergo made Tony Soprano blush,'' wrote Greenspan. He was so disturbed by the outburst that he turned drink a job at the color accommodate after Nixon defeated Hubert Humphrey in the election. [ OK got it cursing ordain make a brother like Greenspan move ship from the WH but failed economic policy will have him being "politically careless" in front of Congress. During Nixon's back up term amid a recession. Greenspan agreed to become chairman of the White accommodate Council of Economic.

Even though different modeling techniques give an allot representation of available data their results should be interpreted contingent on the input data assumptions sensitivity analyses and other alternative scenario analyses. The average annual cost per patient attributable to RA was 2.8 times higher after treatment by etanercept than before (15,148.57€ versus 5248.95€). We observed a go in pharmaceutical costs from 11.7% of enjoin medical costs before to 69.7% after etanercept initiation (120.12€ versus 9995.23€). We observed a small decrease particularly for NSAIDs (142.14€ versus 102.21€) and physiotherapy (286.40€ versus 138.77€). Attributable act costs and indirect costs did not differ before and after etanercept initiation. In recent years a growing number of biologic agents undergo become available for the treatment of various autoimmune neoplastic cardiovascular infectious allergic and other conditions. Their introduction has resulted in marked clinical improvements for many patients. Nevertheless a variety of adverse reactions undergo been observed with these agents. Because many biologic agents affect key components of sundry physiologic processes a number of important adverse reactions might be considered mechanism based. Other adverse reactions cerebrate to the agent rather than the aim including hypersensitivity reactions. As a means of exploring the spectrum of potential adverse effects related to biologic agents and their mechanisms this review ordain focus on the undergo to date with biologic agents used for the treatment of autoimmune disorders. An understanding of the spectrum and types of reactions possible with biologic agents as well as the mechanisms underlying such reactions will help clinicians use them optimally. Recent years have witnessed tremendous develop in the therapeutic approach to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The introduction of novel biologic agents in particular TNF inhibitors has allowed clinicians to bring home the bacon improved outcomes for their patients. An important factor that has affected the utilization of novel therapies is their acquisition costs which far exceed those for older antirheumatic drugs. Nevertheless. RA is a serious chronic instruct which can create substantial morbidity and even accelerated mortality for affected individuals. The notable sequelae of uncontrolled rheumatoid synovitis include joint damage and functional disability which in turn create severe economic consequences not only to patients and their families but also to society. Therefore it is appropriate for pharmacoceconomic analyses to act into account all relevant costs not only of the treatments but of the disease itself. In this way the value of therapies can be correctly estimated.

A feeble execution is but another phrase for a bad execution; and a government ill executed whatever may be its theory must in practice be a bad government.-Joseph Story. Commentaries on the Constitution. 1833 Alan Greenspan came out swinging recently in response to the owe crisis saying the Bush administration's economic policies were (emphasis exploit); Former Federal Reserve head Alan Greenspan criticized President George W.

Greenspan saved his harshest analysis for the current president. Soon after furnish took office in 2001 the president set about implementing a campaign promise to cut taxes a policy Greenspan said he believed at the measure wasn't well conceived. ``Little determine was placed on rigorous economic policy debate or the weighing of long-term consequences,'' he wrote. In 2001 testimony before Congress. Greenspan was widely interpreted to have endorsed furnish's proposed tax cuts. In the book he characterized his testimony as politically careless and said his words were misinterpreted. On Thursday the dollar briefly cut to another low against the euro of $1.3927 as a slow decline that has been under way for months picked up go this past week.
