Border law gets Bush’s signature
President pushes for GOP during Phoenix-area stop
Arizona Daily Star
Tucson, Arizona | Published: 10.05.2006
advertisementBy Daniel Scarpinato
PARADISE VALLEY — President Bush signed federal legislation here Wednesday that he says will help “protect the American people,” in part, by tightening security on the U.S.-Mexican border.
The bill appropriates money to the Department of Homeland Security in a number of areas, but Bush’s Arizona signing was meant to highlight its most high-profile element: illegal immigration.
Bush signed the bill shortly after telling those at a $ 500-a-person fundraiser, “If you want to make sure those on the front line of protecting you have the tools necessary to do so, you vote Republican for the safety of the United States of America.” The fundraiser for Republican Rep. Rick Renzi took in $ 450,000.
The president accused some Democrats of putting national security at risk by voting against bills that would allow secret eavesdropping on phone calls and tough measures to interrogate prisoners to try to detect terror plots.
Democrats said Bush was just trying to distract from his failed management of the war on terror with his comments.
The border-security legislation, approved last month, provides $ 1.2 billion to fund 700 miles of fencing and barriers along the border, plus money for jails to detain illegal entrants and hire 1,500 more border agents.
“This legislation will give us better tools to enforce our immigration laws and to secure our southern border,” he said. “This bill’s going to make this country safer to all of our citizens.”
With immigration the top issue for voters in Southern Arizona and high on the radar for voters nationally, the bill comes as the November midterm elections draw near.
“I understand full well that illegal immigration puts pressure on the public schools and hospitals,” he said. “It strains state and local budgets. In some communities it increases crime.”
The president, with Phoenix-area mountains in the background, was flanked by Sen. Jon Kyl, an author of the bill; Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano; and Republican U.S. Reps. J.D. Hayworth, Trent Franks and Renzi.
Napolitano said the greatest benefit of the legislation is more federal funding, though she said it’s unclear how much Arizona will receive.
“I think Congress is not done yet,” she said. “They need to pass comprehensive immigration reform, and they can’t just pass this bill and think their job is over. It’s not. But it’s a good start.”
Bush and Napolitano both mentioned the need for a worker plan. Kyl said he would like to see that addressed in November or December.
But Kyl also stressed the importance of the fencing, which will be placed based on border traffic flow.
“it’s not just fence . . .”
“It’s not just fence, it’s high-tech virtual techniques plus Border Patrol and roads so the Border Patrol can be where they need to be,” said Kyl, who drafted key parts of the legislation, including a provision that criminalizes construction of a tunnel across an international border.
Of fencing, Napolitano said: “Fencing to me is something you use in conjunction with other things if it’s really going to be effective,” mentioning radar and lighting as key aspects.

PayScale Releases First Quarter 2011 Compensation and Salary Index

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) April 12, 2011

PayScale, Inc. today announced The PayScale Index for Q1 2011, which tracks quarterly trends in compensation. Specifically, The PayScale Index follows changes in total cash compensation for full-time, private industry employees in the United States.

From 2006 to 2008, wages grew more than five percent. As the recession worsened at the end of 2008, wages dropped dramatically, settling on a new, lower, plateau in Q2 2009. Through Q1 2011, national average wages remained relatively flat.

Wage levels in Q1 2011 were not much higher than they were in Q1 2008, three years earlier. However, in the last three years, the cost of goods has increased, causing an overall reduction in consumer buying power. The only bright point is that wages are up, slightly (0.1-0.3 percent), over the previous year for the fourth quarter in a row.

“There are signs of a turnaround in wages in specific metros (NYC, Houston) and industries (Business Support Services, Healthcare, Oil Exploration and Mining). Nationally, wages are up year-over-year for the fourth quarter in a row; however, the increase is only 0.3 percent, almost 10x smaller than was typical before the recession,” said Al Lee, Director of Quantitative Analysis at PayScale.

Advanced Metal Roofing Makes List of Top Specialty Exterior Contractors for 2009

Wilmington, NC (PRWEB) December 24, 2009

James Kenton and Advanced Metal Roofing are pleased to announce that the company has been included in Qualified Remodeler Magazine’s Exterior 200 list for 2009. Advanced Metal Roofing ranks number sixty-five on the list of two hundred exterior contractors specializing in remodeling and home improvement projects ranging from roofing, siding, and windows to decks, sunrooms, and other items pertaining to the exterior of the home nationwide.

Advanced Metal Roofing specializes in residential metal roofing throughout a growing service area that currently includes North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Featuring the exclusive, patented MetalMan Roofing System, Advanced Metal Roofing offers homeowners a 42% Energy Savings Pledge, a transferable, limited Lifetime Warranty, and a Thirty Day Best Price Guarantee. The MetalMan Roofing System is constructed from Galvalume sheet metal and Kynar paint finish, resulting in long lasting, durable metal roofing with energy efficient Cool Metal Roofing Technology that is both environmentally friendly and consumer friendly.

Qualified Remodeler Magazine’s Exterior 200 list differs from their Top 500 list by way of focusing only on exterior remodelers. Many of these firms, including Advanced Metal Roofing, were included on the earlier published list of the Top 500 Remodelers. A distinction is made because exterior remodelers market differently than contractors who remodel kitchens, add extensions to a home, or renovate whole houses. Exterior contractors also tend to do a greater number of jobs at a lower dollar volume for each job compared to interior remodelers. Therefore, exterior contractors rely on volume to drive business and a have a different business model than an interior contractor. The Exterior 200 list recognizes these distinctions for metal roofing, shingle and slate roofing, siding, decking, and window companies and provides a more even basis of comparison for these contractors. Firms on the list are ranked by remodeling dollar volume.

James Kenton, owner of Advanced Metal Roofing, is proud to be included on this list of nationwide exterior remodeling companies for the third time since 2007. “We’ve managed to grow over the years and move our way up on the list of the nation’s Top 200 Exterior Remodelers. In 2007, we were #169 and in 2008, we were #117. We’re thrilled to make the jump to #65 this year. It reflects the hard work we’ve dedicated to growing our existing service area, to providing a top quality product, and to educating our sales, customer service, and installation teams to deliver the best service possible.”

Advanced Metal Roofing has achieved a number of accolades in 2009 including a place in Replacement Contractor’s Top 100, Qualified Remodeler’s Top 500, Roofing Contractor’s Top 100, Metal Construction News’ Top Metal Roofers, and Remodeler Magazine’s list of the biggest home improvement companies in the country.

Oil Industry Makes Economic Pitch For Keystone XL pipeline to Teamsters Union

I guarantee now… it WILL be built. Oil industry makes economic pitch for Keystone XL pipeline to Gulf The oil industry is hoping support from organized labor — and the promise of 20000 construction jobs — will help convince the Obama administration to sign off on a pipeline that would transport crude oil harvested in Alberta, Canada to Gulf Coast refineries. Industry leaders teamed up with organized labor today to tout the projected economic benefits of the project, which is fiercely opposed by environmental advocates. “With the US economy still struggling, nothing is more important than jobs, and construction of the pipeline would mean massive numbers of them,” said American Petroleum Institute Refining Issues Manager Cindy Schild in a conference call with reporters. One analysis projects that 20000 workers would be hired to construct TransCanada’s Keystone XL pipeline, if it wins the administration’s approval later this year. James Kimball, chief economist for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, said the project would be a boon for construction workers. “This project means jobs — and jobs for our members,” Kimball told reporters. “We think that big construction projects (and) infrastructure projects such as this project and others are a fast and good way to put a large number of people to work quickly. This project will put approximately 1300 to 1500 new teamsters to work on the pipeline.” read more…… fuelfix.com

Reporter Grills Stunned Biden – HD

WFTV-Channel 9′s Barbara West asks Biden the questions no one else will. He doesn’t believe it! Someone DARED to ask him “combative” questions. I guess it’s “unprofessional” to be pointed with accusations that “some are making”, says Obama. I wonder if a CNN reporter has ever used the “some are saying” card with Sarah Palin. hmmmmm….. Funny how no one thinks it’s a big deal when Sarah Palin gets it 20x a day. But ask a democrat….HEY!!! You can’t do that!! You’re supposed to be on OUR side!! Certainly Joe the Plumber thinks Obama’s plan sounds socialist. Would it be out of bounds to ask if he’s right? The Obama campaign issued the following statement regarding the interview: The Obama spokesperson issued this statement about the interview: “There’s nothing wrong with tough questions, but reporters have the very important job of sharing the truth with the public — not misleading the American people with false information. Senator Biden handled the interview well; however, the anchor was completely unprofessional. Senator Biden’s wife is not running for elected office, and there are many other stations in the Orlando television market that would gladly conduct a respectful and factual interview with her.” “This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election.” I wonder if the obama campaign feels the same about charlie gibson’s …
