I was curious about their sound and pulled up some of their videos, they were a pleasant surprise. I especially liked this tune; . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYuDBdVj8_k .— March 10, 2011 7:16 p.m.
Are American Engineers in Short Supply?
Excellent post FedUp, they love this H-1B Visa garbage as long as they are not the ones taking it in the shorts.— March 10, 2011 1:48 p.m.
Are American Engineers in Short Supply?
It's my understanding that this is all but required in order to have an easier standard to compare candidates. So, unfortunately for US born engineers future and present, other countries have learned the importance of education in skilled labor. ======================== #1-Your "understanding" is not fact-it is wild speculation at best. Unless you know this as a FACT it is best not to speculate. #2- Allowing "other countries" to come in and compete with OUR own citizens is a fraud in order to lower wages. You have NOT stated we have a shortage-only your own conclusion that competition is good for the market. I think you're selling out our country with your claims.— March 10, 2011 1:43 p.m.

We’ve got an over abundance of experienced tech professionals and an oversupply of new science & technology graduates whom we have paid dearly to educate. But companies are bypassing this US talent – and even displacing Americans from their jobs in favor of citizens from abroad - and it's legal with corporate visa programs like H1-b. =========================== You're preaching to the choir Donna!— March 10, 2011 8:46 a.m.

The bill introduced by Sens. Grassley and Durbin would appear to be a step in the right direction. ============ Don't expect ANYTHING. Big Business is has a stranglehold on America and is basically running it- no laws will be passed that cut into Big Business profits, our massive TARP bailout proved that fact 100% beyond any doubt.— March 9, 2011 6:45 p.m.

Fox Canyon Neighborhood Protests Governor’s Move to Eliminate Redevelopment Agencies
These redevelopment agency's are flat out scams. I have told this story before, but when I was brokering commercial real etsate deals back in the 90's smart business people/developers were buying REO apartments from the banks for $10K-$20K per door, putting in $1K-$10K in rehab-averaging about $5K per unit in rehab- and then renting them out at market for strong cash flows. Now, while the private sector were selling apartments for $10K-$30K in total costs AFTER they were rehabed the gov was BUILDING NEW "low income" apartments, just like the Auburn Park Apartments in this story, for (now get this) $150K per unit. It was just ridiculous how much money the gov was spending so a very FEW connected low income residents could get subsidized by the taxpayers-while the gov paper pushers and yahoos who built these so called "low income" apartments were becoming mutli millionaires. Barone-Galasso Associates were pulling this scam big time.— March 9, 2011 6:37 p.m.
